Chapter six hundred and twenty third parting ways
Today's persuasion has not made any progress. When the Thirteenth Prince rejected the "invitation" of Tushetuhan to keep him for roasting whole lamb, he walked out of the tent and then brought a few guards back to his tent camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, he was so angry that he kicked over the Maza in the tent.
"Master, please calm down." A guard quickly stepped forward and put the overturned stool again, and whispered softly.
"You really can't do anything!" The Thirteenth Prince was extremely angry and sat down and sniffed the fragrance. The fire in his heart was getting bigger and bigger these days. In his opinion, these Mongolian nobles and princes were just guys with no strategic vision. They could only see a little bit of benefits in front of them. In other words, these people have a thief heart but no courage. Until now, many opportunities have been missed by them, but they still act smart, thinking that the world is still in their grasp.
Originally, the Thirteenth Prince's original plan was to first integrate the Khalkha Mongol with Tushetu Khan, so that the three Mongolian tribes in northern desert were integrated, and then form a relatively powerful military body. Then, he ordered the Khalkha Mongol as the general granted by the Qing prince and the first emperor, and then attacked the weak tribes around, expand and strengthened his strength, and at the same time attracted other Mongolian tribes.
In this way, although it is impossible to integrate the power of the entire Mongolian grassland in a short period of time, in the view of the Thirteenth Prince, based on Khalkha Mongolia, it is enough to control half of the Mongolian power. With such a force in hand, both the Qing court and the Emperor Jianxing would be afraid of it. Not only himself, but even Tushetuhan would be forced to admit their actions.
At this time, the Thirteenth Prince took advantage of this to rise again, and at the same time, it was a powerful military force that could not be ignored with the power of Mongolia. Whether it was going south or taking action against other tribes, it was no problem. More importantly, the Thirteenth Prince's real focus was not on the Mongolian tribes, but in Liaodong. Although Liaodong is still under the Qing Dynasty, it has actually become an autonomous land. It is difficult for the Qing court far away in Xi'an to directly manage Liaodong, so it is the real purpose of the Thirteenth Prince.
If everything goes well, it will not be difficult to enter Liaodong. And with his identity as the backing of the Mongolian cavalry, it is natural to control the entire Liaodong territory. By then, whether it is independent or directly confronting Xi'an or cooperating with each other, it will be easy for the Thirteenth Prince to advance and retreat.
Even in the view of the Thirteenth Prince, after taking Liaodong, he would find a way to make the Fourth Prince, Prince Yong, find a way to escape from Liaodong. When he arrived in Liaodong, he would raise a banner to count the crimes of Jianxing, especially to make a fuss about Kangxi's death, so that the Fourth Prince would ascend the throne in Liaodong and rebuild the Qing Dynasty.
Unfortunately, although the Thirteenth Prince thought well, he did not expect that these Mongolian princes were so useless. Everyone's little abacus was clattering, but they still couldn't understand the overall situation.
This made the Thirteenth Prince, who was quite angry, was extremely angry. And as time went by, especially when the Khalkha Mongolia refused Ortai's order to go south, but the three ministries jointly began to prepare for the war, an extremely ominous feeling enveloped the Thirteenth Prince's heart like a dark cloud.
Especially in the past few days, this feeling has become more and more serious. This is why the Thirteenth Prince went to see Tuxituhan again and advised him to act as soon as possible.
But who would have thought that he had tried his best to speak out, but Tu Xietuhan was not moved at all. Instead, he told him with a smile that he had received the news that Ortai would soon fight the Ming army. As long as the Ming and Qing armies started a war, Mongolia would be no longer restrained by the Qing army, and then the best opportunity for them to launch.
This sentence almost made the Thirteenth Prince very angry. When did it still have such a dream? Who is Ortai? The Thirteenth Prince knew very well, would Emperor Jianxing not be on guard against Mongolia with him? Will he fight against the Ming army regardless of threats in the rear? In other words, if he was the Thirteenth Prince, he would never do this if he led the army.
For this reason, the Thirteenth Prince once again advised Tuxitu Khan, telling him that he must be careful of the Qing army in Chahar, especially when the three ministries had offended Ortai without obeying orders. However, Tuxitu Khan disagreed and said with a smile that he was over-thought. He believed that the Qing army was not possible in this situation, or he did not dare to target them by offending the Mongolians in Mobei. Now he just needs to wait patiently.
To put it in the original words of Tuxethuhan, it means "The proud falcon must fly in the high sky, but when the opportunity comes, it will use its claws to give a fatal blow to the prey with its sharp claws..."
"Bad Falcon!" When the Thirteenth Prince thought of this, he couldn't help but curse. His uncle was so stupid that he really didn't know how his grandfather liked him at the beginning, and actually passed the position of Khan to such a person.
A candle was lit in the tent. Under the dim and swaying candlelight, the Thirteenth Prince's face looked extremely gloomy. Now he is completely disappointed with Tu Xietuhan. If he continues to stay here, not only will he not achieve his goal, but he will also compensate him if he doesn't do it well.
Perhaps, it is time for him to leave. The Thirteenth Prince thought about it so much. He also figured out where he went. Of course, he would not go back to Xi'an, let alone Shanxi. The place he was going to is Liaodong, traveling east from Mongolia to Liaodong, and then regrouping in Liaodong. This is the best choice.
However, if the Thirteenth Prince left like this, although it could not be said to be alone, there were indeed not many people around him. When he arrived in Khalkha Mongolia, there were only dozens of people following him, and these people were specially arranged for him by Prince Houyong from Xi'an.
So to go to Liaodong, relying solely on these people is far from enough, so he must find a way to gather some people to go with him.
During these days in Khalkha Mongolia, in addition to the efforts mentioned above, the Thirteenth Prince was not idle either. He also privately attracted some Mongolian leaders, or warriors from various ministries. He originally planned to use these people to build his own team after the three ministries were united, but now this possibility is no longer there, but if these people can go to Liaodong with him, it will be his own strength.
