Ming politicians

When Mochuo, the leader of the Xibe tribe, and Tongcha, the leader of the Daur tribe, met each other, they ignored each other. The Mongols are straightforward, and their opinions are written on their faces, but this time it was Su Tiancheng. Coming to the Mongolian Grassland in person, the two dared not waste time. According to Sun Yuankun's arrangement, they each led [-] troops to Fengzhen to meet with the Jiangning battalion soldiers.

Needless to say, the hardships along the way, Sun Yuankun was very troubled by this, and he needed to keep it secret, but Mo Chuo and Tong Cha just didn't want to be together, Sun Yuankun couldn't force it, he could only coordinate as much as possible. The army to which the person belongs marches together, and there may also be conflicts. In such a case, it is difficult to ensure the speed of the march.

Sun Yuankun and Liu Ji shared the same opinion. They believed that Mo Chuu, the leader of the Xibo tribe, was unqualified and could be replaced if he had the opportunity. It would not be very difficult for Su Tiancheng to do this. Back to the tribe to take charge of the overall situation, as for Mo Chuai, just find a way to deal with it.

According to the scheduled time, the two armies finally arrived in Fengzhen.

Because Su Tiancheng came to the grassland, Mo Chui and Tong Cha didn't dare to make trouble casually, especially Mo Chui, who trusted Jia Jihan, had already lost a game, and if he was punished by Su Tiancheng, it would be uncertain.

Sun Yuankun met Su Tiancheng first.

I haven't seen Su Tiancheng for many years. Sun Yuankun is the oldest veteran in the Jiangning camp. When Su Tiancheng was still taking the imperial examination, Sun Yuankun joined Su Tiancheng's command and led the three thousand soldiers who belonged to Xiong Tingbi before. It was these 3000 people who became the earliest backbone of the Jiangning Battalion, and many of them have become the backbone and officers of the Jiangning Battalion.

After Su Tiancheng left Shaanxi.Because of his age, Sun Yuankun had always stayed in Anning Fort. He originally wanted to live a peaceful life and guard the mutual market between Anning Fort and Jingbian, and did not plan to participate in any fights.Unexpectedly, due to the change of the situation, Sun Yuankun would also have to participate in the conquest campaign on the grassland.

After seeing Su Tiancheng, after exchanging pleasantries.Sun Yuankun also expressed his own opinion, suggesting that Su Tiancheng consider whether to adjust the leaders of the Xibe tribe. If this goes on for a long time, there will eventually be problems. Mo Chuan has great ambitions and will not be satisfied with sticking to the Hetao grassland.On the contrary, Tong Chai, the leader of the Daur tribe.There are many duties.Although there were instigations in the tribe, Tong Cha was able to stick to his own opinion and would never do anything that would be detrimental to the Ming court and Su Tiancheng. [

Su Tiancheng hadn't met Mo Chuan and Tong Cha yet, but both Liu Ji and Sun Yuankun suggested adjusting the leaders of the Xibe tribe.

It's not that Su Tiancheng didn't think about this matter, and finally gave up. It's normal for people to have ambitions. People with ambitions.Only with a pioneering spirit, of course, in the eyes of many officers in the Jiangning Camp, Tong Chai is better than Mo Chuu. What the Ming court needs are obedient people and people who obey all arrangements. From this perspective, Mo Chuu Obviously something is not up to standard.

But Su Tiancheng's thoughts and opinions are somewhat different.

The ruler is short and the inch is strong. In this world, there is no perfect person. It is impossible to expect everyone to come out of the same mold. They are all brave and obedient. Things are not so simple in this world.Judging from the development of the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe in recent years, Mo Chuan has a certain ability. The development of the Xibe tribe has surpassed the Daur tribe, and the soldiers of the Xibe tribe are very capable of fighting , once a tribe attacked the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, but was defeated by the soldiers of the Xibe tribe.

The grassland also needs an overlord. A person like Mo Chuai is suitable to be the overlord of the grassland. No matter what his intentions are, there is one thing Mo Chui can grasp, that is, he dare not violate the will of the Ming court, as long as he adheres to this bottom line , even if it is very good.

Of course, Su Tiancheng also wanted to beat Mo Chuai.

When Mo Chui and Tong Cha saw Su Tiancheng, their expressions were different. Tong Cha was calm and didn't do anything wrong, while Mo Chui was anxious and afraid of being punished. In addition, Su Tiancheng was already a The cabinet scholar is extremely powerful, and has pinched the vital points of the Xibe tribe. Through the mutual market, he has basically controlled the economic lifeline of the Xibe tribe.

Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu, Qu Qingze and others were all in the room.

After Su Tiancheng greeted Mo Chui and Tong Cha briefly, he began to assign tasks.

"The 10-strong army of the Three Routes has all assembled. Today is December 26. The time is tight. With such a large team assembled, it is impossible to keep the news completely secret. I believe that within a day or two, people around will know The news is that the army will set off tomorrow, and the troops will be divided into three groups. The sergeant of the Xibe tribe is responsible for attacking the right-wing front banner of the Chahar tribe, the sergeant of the Daur tribe is responsible for attacking the rear banner of the Chahar tribe, and the Jiangning battalion is responsible for attacking the Chahar tribe. Tribal Zhongqi, pay attention to coordination with each other."

"Hong Chengchou is in charge of commanding the battle to attack the front banner, Mo Chuan assists in command, Qin Liangyu is in charge of commanding the battle to attack the rear banner, Tong Cha assists in command, and the 5000 Datong frontier army is divided into two parts. 5000 people follow Hong Chengchou and are responsible for fighting against Chahar. For the attack on the front banner of the tribe, [-] people will follow Qin Liangyu and be responsible for the attack on the rear banner of the Chahar tribe. You can determine the specific battle plan by yourself, but there is one general requirement, that is, the Chahar tribe must be wiped out to the maximum extent. Sergeant."

"I have emphasized a long time ago that indiscriminate killing of innocent people is not allowed. This point is still insisted on. During the process of conquest and slaughter, it is not allowed to do anything to the old, weak, women and children. A contest between armies is a contest between men. In addition, Do not behead the captives..."

After finishing the arrangement, Su Tiancheng asked Mo Chuo to stay, and the rest went to prepare.

Mo Chuan seemed uneasy. He had already seen Sun Yuankun and Liu Ji before, thinking that Liu Ji was almost beheaded. If he hadn't reacted quickly, maybe the fighting between the Xibo tribe and the Daur tribe had already begun. Later, all of Su Tiancheng's arrangements came to naught. This kind of dereliction of duty is something he cannot bear.

Su Tiancheng's face was serious, no smile could be seen. [

"Mo Chuai, I was very disappointed with your performance a few days ago."

Mo Chuan's body trembled.

"My lord, Mo Chui doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so I'm sure you will give Mo Chui a chance."

"It's best for you to realize it yourself. In fact, everyone has ambitions, and only those who have ambitions will work hard. The Xibe tribe has developed well over the years, which shows that you are capable. I don't object to people having ambitions. But it must be controlled within a certain range. You have always wanted to be the overlord of the grassland, which is not wrong, in fact, I also thought that after the Mongolian tribes, the government will make you the overlord of the grassland."

Mo Chuan was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"My, my lord, Mo Chuai dare not have such an idea."

Su Tiancheng looked at Mo Chuai.

"I'm telling the truth. The situation in the grassland is complicated. Even if we conquer the grassland, we still need a tribe to manage the grassland. It's like Chahar Lindan in the past, but Lin Dan was too tyrannical, which triggered the tribes of the grassland. Opposition is ultimately self-destruction. The Khan who leads the grassland must do two things. The first is to obey the leadership of the court, and the second is to be able to truly soften the many tribes in the grassland. They have enough prestige, just like today Horqin and Chahar tribes."

"The grassland is a part of the Ming Dynasty, the residence of the Chahar tribe, it used to be the residence of Xuandewei, Guanshanwei, and Tumed tribe of our Ming Dynasty, and it was once the residence of our Yunchuanwei and Zhungeer tribes of our Ming Dynasty. It used to be Dongshengwei of my Ming Dynasty, but what is going on now belongs to the post-Gold Tartars. This time the conquest is just a re-planning of the order of the grassland by the Ming court. After conquering the grassland, my Ming court is going to The one who resets the guard, the Great Khan who is in charge of the grassland, must handle the relationship with the guard properly."

"You are capable. The soldiers of the Xibe tribe are strong and brave. I believe that you can lead the warriors of the Xibe tribe to command the entire grassland. Once we conquer the grassland, I will propose to the emperor and canonize you as the Great Khan of the grassland." , command the entire grassland."

"But the ugly words must be said in the front. If your ambitions exceed the limit, and even want to become a king on your own, and want to ask the imperial court to control it, the imperial court will never sit idly by. At that time, I am afraid that the Xibo tribe will I will also encounter a catastrophe, and I don't want to see such a situation happen."

"I'm talking to you today, just to ask you to feel at ease, obey the leadership of the court, and don't have too much ambition. I won't pursue the past. Whether you are qualified to be the Khan of the Grassland is up to you. If you can't make great contributions in this conquest, I'm afraid others will not be convinced."

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Mo Chuai completely understood.

He walked up to Su Tiancheng and knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, Mo Tuo swears here that if my Xibo tribe dares to betray the imperial court, it will make the Xibe tribe extinct forever. Not only Mo Tuo, but Mo Tuo's descendants will also be loyal to the court forever. This time, Mo Tuo We must do our utmost to wipe out the Horqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, and all the Mongolian tribes of the Golden Tartars after surrender."

Su Tiancheng helped Mo Chuai up, without saying anything, he patted Mo Chui's shoulder vigorously.

After Mo Chuo left, Qu Qingze, Sun Yuankun, Liu Ji and others came out from the back room.

Qu Qingze was very emotional.

"My lord has the eyes to recognize talents, so the grassland can be peaceful, but it's a bit unfair to Tong Cha."

"Tong Chai doesn't have the ability to become a Great Khan of the Grassland. If he wants to rule the grassland, he must be a Mongolian tribe. It is impossible for the imperial court to send officials and troops. Therefore, the imperial court must win over the leaders of the tribes to maintain the grassland together. calm."
