Chapter 941 The Tatars advance eastward
The grazing place of the three guards of Wurianha is in the northeast, located on the east side of the Daxinganling Mountains (this time called Halawen Mountain), mainly in the Nenjiang River (this time called Naowen River), and the Songhua River Basin. Among them, the Fuyu Guard, where General Jier is located, is located at the northernmost point of the three guards.
General Ji'er's expression looked very heavy. He was sitting on a chair of the Grand Master, bowing to face Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Before my departure, the commander, the commander, "Haisha Man, replied to Xi", told me that the emperor must let the emperor know that Fu Yuwei's situation is very dangerous."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded without saying a word.
General Jier continued: "According to legend, Emperor Taizong promised that the Three Guards would go south and obtain the land around Daning City and the surrounding areas. This statement is not true or false, but it is widely circulated. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he did not do that. Many people in the tribes of the Three Guards were very dissatisfied, among which the people of Duoyan Wei and Taining Wei complained the most."
Zhu Gaoxu did not comment on such a promise, and he himself knew what his father had said, and he had never said it.
But Zhu Gaoxu recalled Zhu Di's sincere eyes back then and told him that his elder brother was in poor health and made him work harder. Zhu Gaoxu immediately had personal speculation, thinking that Zhu Di might have promised the leader of the three guards of Urianha in this way, but later he turned against him. After all, his thoughts were different after becoming emperor. Who would be willing to give up the strategic military town? This kind of thing is very consistent with the style of the father.
Ji'er's voice said: "And there was a Tatar Alutai who was provoking it and started to manage his relationship with the three guards many years ago. Some leaders of the Duoyan Wei and Taining Wei have made a marriage contract with the Alutai family. In the future, the sons of the leaders will marry Alutai's daughter.
Arutai was close to the leaders of Urianha, so he set up a line from it to allow the Korqin tribe, the Tatar tribe closest to the Sanwei area, to maintain contact with the Sanwei.
In recent years, Ade, the leader of the Korqin tribe, has recruited many Urianha people. Among Ade's cavalry, many of them were Doyanwei and the Urianha people of Tainingwei. There was also one of the Korqin people who came to the place between Doyanwei and Tainingwei for a long time to settle in the herd.
It is precisely because of this that the Tatar tribes can trade with the Ming merchants through the Urianha people and obtain what is missing on the grassland."
He paused and said, "Only the commander of Fuyu Wei, Haishaman, refused to join forces with the Korqin people. Haishaman, was worried that if this continues, Fuyu Wei was the first tribe to be annexed by the Korqin people, and the land, people, cattle and sheep that the leaders of Fuyu Wei now owned will be taken away by the Korqin people.
Later, Ade, a native of Korqin, sent people to scare the Haisha man and ask the man to answer the Xi, and the Duoyan Wei Taining Wei also had a bad attitude towards us. If the Ming Dynasty court did not help us, due to the difficult situation, the Haisha man and ask the man and answered Xi, he would not know that he would surrender, or he would be defeated by the Mongolian tribes in the north and south."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while and said, "The loyal tribe of the Ming Dynasty will of course receive help from the court. I will not sit idly by. General Jier and Haishaman will rest assured that the leader Xi."
General Jier immediately pressed his hand on his chest and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu asked quietly again: "The people of Wurianha do business to exchange things with the Han people. Where did the Han people flow in from?"
General Jier immediately replied: "The people of Wurianha mainly go to Daning City to trade, where many Han people sell things to the people of Wurianha. Some merchants are
The fields were cultivated nearby and farmed, and the grain and other goods were sold to the Urianha people."
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked suddenly, and he immediately understood that there must be the interests of the border troops.
Because since the fourth year of Jianwen and Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty court formed a monarch-subject relationship with the Urian-Harmonese people. In order to ensure the source of materials for this part of the Mongols, the court opened legal trades in Kaiyuan (near Tieling) and Guangning (west of Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong). If those Urian-Harmen wanted to conduct legal transactions, they should not go to Daning City.
However, this kind of trading is an official commodity transaction. Perhaps because the government is less efficient, higher prices, and will track down the places of goods, the Urianha people choose to trade in Daning City.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say much, and reached out to pat the armrest, "I already know about Fuyuwei. You are here in Peiping and live there for some peace of mind. Before you go back, I will give you a formal reply."
General Jier stood up and kowtowed, then said, "I thank you for your kindness and leave." When the Mongolians saluted, they seemed to not speak.
As soon as General Jier left the door, Zhu Gaoxu immediately called Cao Fu outside the door and said, "Call Zhang Sheng to speak."
Cao Fu said: "I obey the order."
After a while, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, walked in, clasped his fists and said, "I am hereby decree to see you, long live the priest."
Zhu Gaoxu asked straight to the point: "The Liaodong border army is walking... I sold things from Daning City to the Urianha people. Why have I never heard the Jinyiwei report?"
Zhang Sheng's expression changed suddenly and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Damn it, I have never received such a report."
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him: "You don't have to be too nervous. I don't mean to blame you too much. You were not from the Jinyiwei before. You have only been doing this job for a few years. It's understandable that you haven't taken care of too far away."
Zhang Sheng said: "I should immediately start to rectify and manage and clean up the Jinyiwei lieutenant who was sitting in Liaodong. The emperor clearly explained that they received the salary of the imperial court and were inherited from generation to generation, and they could not make up any prodigal sons."
"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "Get up."
Zhang Sheng said again: "But I heard that the border troops have already collected money to let merchants entering and leaving the pass and smuggled goods. This kind of thing is not unusual."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "If I become an emperor, I will not allow border troops to do such things."
Zhang Sheng said: "Yes."
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself that if there are some border troops with weapons, if they have even money, why would they listen to the court in the future? So he didn't have to think too much about it. He would definitely rectify such a thing, and would never allow the border troops to slowly obtain the financial power to collect "tariffs".
He thought for a while and said, "I will do other things myself. You can't take care of them. Just care about the Jinyiwei's problem. Let them understand their identity and who should be directed to, and change those who cannot."
Zhang Sheng bowed and said, "I should follow my teachings."
After Zhang Sheng left, the eunuch Cao Fu walked in. However, Zhu Gaoxu did not instruct Cao Fu to do things anymore. He was still free in front of the Grand Master Chair he had just sat on, walking back and forth slowly, silently thinking about a series of problems. Now what Zhu Gaoxu faced was obviously more complicated than the war in the "Battle of Crime".
The time spent on earth will take longer, and the courage and perseverance required in the battle formation will be slowly worn out. Perhaps only by keeping one's breath can we achieve success.
In the evening, before dinner, Zhu Gaoxu called the accompanying nobles, civil servant Hou Hai and others, and the king and his ministers had a meal together. During the meal, Zhu Gaoxu did not talk about the important matters, and everyone was excited to reminisce about the past.
Although more than half of these direct civil and military officials were formerly subordinates of the Han Palace in Yunnan, before Zhu Gaoxu was vassalized in Yunnan, they were subordinates of Zhu Gaoxu. Before Zhu Gaoxu became the King of Han, he was the Prince of Gaoyang, and the place was in Peiping. Veda, Wang Bin, Hou Hai and others, and their former homes were in Peiping. They were talking about taking time to go back to see where they had lived before.
Qiu Fu was a hero of the "Jingnan". He was originally a guard general of the Yan Palace and was also a person who once settled his family in Peiping. He revisited his hometown and everyone had a topic of discussion.
After the meal, the maids put the table in hand and put tea and dried fruits and snacks. Only then did Zhu Gaoxu tell everyone about the afternoon meeting with General Jier and Liaodong Dusi smuggling through Daning City.
Qiu Fu said in an understatement: "Don't worry, just an imperial edict is required to summon the commander of Liaodong to Peiping to confess his guilt. What else can he dare?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded without comment.
Of course, Qiu Fu's words were feasible. At this time, the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp was very strong and had an absolute advantage over the local garrison troops. Therefore, only the Central Committee had the right to speak in military affairs.
Usually, the imperial court had to carry out large-scale military operations. The conventional method was to appoint a number of generals, and then mobilize a part of the Beijing camp to engage in the local garrison and mobilize some garrison troops to form battalions to mobilize the army. Among them, the Beijing camp is the main force of the camp and the core elite. The garrison troops mainly assist in combat and boost momentum. Including He Fu's Northwest Army in Ningxia Prefecture, his elite soldiers were also from the capital and the past garrison cavalry.
Qiu Fu's suggestions can be achieved, but it seems that the problem cannot be properly solved. No matter how people say loyalty and filial piety, it will be very troublesome once it involves real interests. If it is not handled well, it will at least cause everyone's dissatisfaction.
Hou Hai's voice said: "The Liaodong Dushi is an official, and he is in business with the generals of Daning City to make money. But the border generals on the west side of Halawen Mountain (Daxingan Mountains) can only watch it, and they should be very unhappy. The right way is to not worry about the lack of troubles. The emperor only needs to open the mouth of gold. Most generals of the multilateral army will definitely support the emperor and punish those generals who violate the imperial court's laws."
Zhu Gaoxu looked back and found that Gao Xianning was missing. Gao Xianning was still in the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Office.
He thought of Gao Xianning, and then Gao Xianning's teacher Qi Tai. If Qi Tai made an idea here, he would definitely suggest Zhu Gaoxu to make plans for the long term first and not force him too much from the beginning. Because this is Qi Tai's always advocate for doing things.
So Zhu Gaoxu said, "This matter should be discussed for a long time."
After hearing this, everyone had to agree: "The Lord is wise."
That night, Zhu Gaoxu took out a memorial, a list of border generals submitted by the Peking Administrator a few days ago. He looked for it from the memorial and saw that among the generals who came to report their duties, there was a man from Daning City named He Hao.
Zhu Gaoxu remembered this name. He hesitated for a moment and finally gave up the idea of summoning He Hao alone.
