I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 612
"This battle has been fruitful. Now only Yue Tuan and Huang Taiji have not been crowned. However, Hetuala is close at hand and will be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Therefore, Yue Tuan will not be able to escape. What I am worried about now is Only Huang Taiji is left.”

After hearing what the emperor said, others nodded in agreement.Now it seems that Huang Taiji is indeed a serious problem.This man was so thoughtful that even they did not expect that Huang Taiji would run to Horqin and actually defeat Chahar's troops.

"Your Majesty, I have heard before that Huang Taiji is the most outstanding of Nurha's children. Years ago, he made a dangerous move and raided the rear of Liaodong. Fortunately, the Beijing troops and horses were in Niuzhuang Fort, otherwise Liaodong would have been in danger.

And now he went to Horqin alone to encourage Horqin to intercept and kill Chahar's troops and completely break with the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to show that he and the Ming Dynasty are fighting to the death, and there is no possibility of surrender. The court must be cautious. "

Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, immediately stood up and expressed his position after hearing this. He also had knowledge of the Mongolian affairs and knew Huang Taiji's various deeds in Mongolia.

This Horqin was originally a subordinate of Lin Dan Khan. Although they had a bad relationship, Lin Dan Khan was still the nominal Lord of Mongolia no matter what, and Horqin did not dare to directly fight Lin Dan Khan.But Huang Taiji encouraged Horqin as soon as he arrived. It seems that he is very capable and has a big agenda.

Wang Zaijin's words touched Zhu Youxiao's heart.Although Jianlu has been destroyed now, Huang Taiji is not dead yet. He is the person second only to Nurhaci in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

He knew this person's abilities best, and what he was best at was making comebacks against the wind. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao would definitely give him a chance to make a comeback, so he thought for a while and said slowly to him:

"According to Xiong Tingbi's previous report, after Amin surrendered, many Zhengbai Banner soldiers who guarded Kaiyuan ran directly to Horqin and followed Huang Taiji. Now Horqin, the Bahrain tribe, and the remnants of Huang Taiji are united together, in the grassland, entrenched in the northwest, east and west of Liaoning , I, the Ming Dynasty, have to be on guard. After the Jianlu are wiped out, annihilating Horqin and other tribes is the top priority for Liaodong to defend against the enemy."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Horqin is not favored by Lin Dan Khan. In addition, Horqin intercepted and killed Chahar before, Lin Dan Khan's strength and majesty were greatly damaged. In order to save face, he will definitely send troops to Horqin again for this purpose. He will definitely do it when the time comes. Turn to me, Ming, for help.

In addition, the Ongjishit Tribe of Inner Kalkha is also a sworn enemy of the Horqin, Bahrain and other tribes. When the time comes, we only need to unite the troops of Lin Dan Khan and the Ongjishit Tribe, and supplement them with elite troops to conquer Horqin. When the time comes, the enemies will be defeated. destroy. "

Seeing the emperor's worries, Wang Zaijin didn't care. He was very optimistic about the situation.Now that Jianlu has been wiped out, Horqin and other tribes are not worried.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head when he heard this, secretly thinking that Wang Zaijin's thinking was indeed a bit simple.However, what he said about Weng Jishit's tribe made Zhu Youxiao full of interest.

Combined with the fact that Jianlu was now pacified, Zhu Youxiao suddenly discovered that a plan that had been in his mind for a long time seemed to be ready to be implemented.

Jianlu can be said to be a troublemaker, which turned the original situation in Liaodong into a mess and became extremely chaotic. Among them, he even divided the Mongolian tribes originally entrenched in Liaodong into two parts loyal to Jianlu and the Ming Dynasty.

This also allowed Zhu Youxiao to see the opportunity for Ming Dynasty to integrate Mongolia.

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and became thoughtful. Then he looked at Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet, and said slowly:
"Ye Aiqing, I have long heard from Xiong Tingbi that the Wengji Tribe has submitted to our Ming Dynasty since last year. We, the Ming Dynasty, have been extremely kind to them. Especially this year, the Wengji Tribe has been defeated by Huang Taiji. If I, the Ming Dynasty, had not turned the tide, this department would have been destroyed long ago. I think they must be obeying the advice of the Ming Dynasty now."

Although he didn't understand what the emperor meant, Ye Xianggao had long been dissatisfied with Weng Jishit's tribe.

Since last year, there has been a lot of news about this department in the Liaodong Report, but most of it is negative, saying that its combat power is low, it takes money to do nothing, and it really takes Ming Dynasty as a scapegoat.

Therefore, in Ye Xianggao's opinion, in the past, the Ming Dynasty gave generous rewards to this department in order to deal with Jianlu.But now that the Jianlu were wiped out, the Wengjishit tribe was of little value, so there was no need to spend money to buy them off.

"What your Majesty said is true, but Mongolia is cunning and prefers gifts over righteousness. Since the beginning of this year, although it has repeatedly sent troops with the imperial court, it has been timid before fighting. It often relies on our Ming Dynasty to act and does not dare to fight against Horqin and other troops on its own.

In addition, in order to appease Weng Ji's Tribe, I gave him generous rewards. As a result, although his tribe had a large number of people, Tai Ji did not like to live in his tribe. Instead, he preferred to live in Liaoyang. This was actually against the imperial court. To win over its original intention. "

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He secretly wondered why Ye Xianggao was dissatisfied with him. Isn't it good for Wengji's special department to do this?So he smiled and said:
"Ye Aiqing, you're a fool. The imperial court can appease the Mongolian tribes with mere rewards. Not only does it allow them to send troops to help the imperial court in combating the rebellion, but it also bribes its nobles Taiji, making them admire the Ming Dynasty. Besides, they haven't saved the money they gave them. , but all spent in Liaoyang.

With this move, the imperial court gained its manpower, its tribe Taiji received a reward of silver, and our merchants of the Ming Dynasty received their silver.

I am just afraid that there are too few Mongolian tribes like the Ongjishit tribe, and I never have too many.I think we can win over more Mongolian tribes in the future, the more like the Ongjishit tribe, the better. "

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said these words, everyone present looked at each other.But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that what the emperor said made sense.

Now the imperial court's silver reward to Wengji's Tribe is 3 taels a year, mainly to his subordinates Zhu Taiji and his Qianhu.The money may be a lot or a lot less, but the result is a win-win situation, so why not do it.

However, they all know that this situation is inevitable. After all, the reason why the Wengjishit tribe submitted to the Ming Dynasty was because of the troublemaker Jianlu, who forced them to submit to the Ming Dynasty.But now that the Jianlu were wiped out, the court had no reason to recruit the Wengjishit tribe.

However, Zhu Youxiao's words did not stop there. Upon seeing this, he asked Sun Chengzong, the cabinet scholar.

"Therefore, I see how we treat the Ongist Tribe now, and we can further treat other Mongolian tribes in the future. As for the Ongist Tribe, we can also further grant canonization in the future.

I think we can follow the example of Duoyan Sanwei, which happens to be the current Horqin, Nekar and other places.And if this method succeeds, this example can be followed for other Mongolian tribes in the future. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and understood the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor secretly had a big plan. Now that he had solved the Jianlu, the next step was to solve the Mongolian problem and to imitate the Duoyan Three Guards.

The so-called Duoyan Sanwei is actually the Jisi Guard Station set up in the early years of the Ming Dynasty to manage the Mongolian tribes located in Liaodong.

Moreover, the duty he gave to the three guards of Duoyan was to "each lead his own troops to ensure the safety of the livestock." They were all subordinate to Ning Wang Daning Dusi and were controlled by Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

However, during the Hongwu period, the Ming court failed to completely control the three guards of Wuliangha. Not long after the three guards were established, the leaders of the three guards betrayed the Ming Dynasty again and returned to the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

It was not until the Yongle period that Emperor Zhu Di changed the way he used force to treat the three guards of Wuliangha during the period of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and turned to appeasement.Not only did Daningwei's rich pastures with water and grass be given to them, but also a large number of leaders of the three tribes of Wuliangha were granted the official positions of governor Qianshi, commander and magistrate of the capital, Qianbaihu, etc., and "gave seals, crowns and platinum" , money, clothes."

After that, although the three guards rebelled from time to time, they remained loyal to the Ming Dynasty most of the time until they were annexed by the Horqin, Neikalkha and other tribes who moved eastward during the Jiajing period.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, the Duoyan Sanwei is a way of governing the Mongolian tribes by the Ming Dynasty, but this is only limited to the period when the Ming Dynasty's military strength was strong.The Mongols are all dependent on others. If the Ming Dynasty's national power declines, the Mongols will definitely rebel.

Now in Liaodong, Mongolia is in decline and the Ming Dynasty is strong. It is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to enthrone the Ongji Situ tribe. This can indeed appease the Ongji Situ tribe.

But what the emperor said later seemed to mean that he also wanted to do something to other Mongolian tribes, which made everyone puzzled.If Ming Dynasty wanted to apply this method to other Mongolian tribes, these Mongolian tribes would never agree.

"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to enthrone the Ongjishit tribe, but other Mongolian tribes are not convinced by the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty recruits them, they will at most accept the Ming Dynasty's reward, but they will never accept the Ming Dynasty's dispatch."

Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, was really a little confused, and he immediately became confused when he saw this.But Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this, then looked around at everyone and said with a smile:

"What Wang Aiqing said is true, but I think it's not difficult, as long as we follow the same method. Just how the Wengjishit tribe submitted to the Ming Dynasty, let the other tribes submit to the Ming Dynasty how to do it, and they will not be able to do it at that time."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zaijin shook his head, feeling that the emperor was out of his mind.

After all, the Ongjishit tribe surrendered because of Jianlu, the troublemaker. Now the Mongolian tribes are doing their own things, and there is no chance for the Ming Dynasty to intervene. How can other tribes learn from the Ongjishit tribe.

"Your Majesty, there is no threat from the rebels, and the other Mongolian tribes have Lin Dan Khan as their co-leader. How could they easily surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

"It is true that there is no threat from the rebels now, but the remnants of the rebels such as Horqin, Bahrain and Huang Taiji are still there.",

Hearing Wang Zaijin's doubts, Zhu Youxiao immediately answered.As soon as these words came out, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong instantly understood what the emperor meant. So they looked at each other, then walked out of the queue, bowed to Zhu Youxiao and asked:
"Is Your Majesty trying to drive away wolves and devour tigers?"
