Magui and Tokhtar returned to Iksibar one after another, and the supreme and pragmatic deeds were seen.

According to the pre-war agreement, in this battle, the bodies of those who died in the Ordos Department belonged to the Ming army as a whole; Those who are captured or wounded by the Ordos Department will be disposed of by Toku.

Since the Ming army only needed corpses and loaded carts and horses to drag them away, and Totok had to find a way to control this large number of prisoners, which was much more troublesome, so the Ming army cleaned up the battlefield faster than the Tumut side, and Ma Gui returned to the high-pragmatism of Jinglu earlier than Toto.

As for the follow-up, it is also simpler on the side of the Ming army, and Tumut is more complicated.

The Ming army only looked at the head of the merit here, and after dragging it back, cut off the head, and use lime and other materials for "disinfection" and "preservation", and the remaining corpses were piled up somewhere, and burned them down as soon as they were basically done, and there was not much trouble.

Although they were pragmatic and generous enough to let them take over the "baggage" of the Ordos Ministry at the same time, as we all know, the so-called baggage of the Mongols was actually very small, and the "military rations" were mainly related to the cattle and sheep carried by the march.

Although the cattle and sheep do not need "capacity", they are much slower than the war horses, so they have to send people to the direction of Huamachi to grab them - the cattle and sheep of the Ordos Department are still behind and have not followed. In addition, it was necessary to guard against the escape of the prisoners, commotion, etc., and the layout of the camp had to be rearranged, etc., in short, it was very delayed, and it was more than an hour slower than Magui to arrive at Gao Pragmatic to report the specific situation of the battle.

In fact, at this time, Ma Gui had already reported the battle situation clearly, and Gao Shishi did not need to repeat it again, so the famous Mongolian general just made a brief statement, and then shifted the topic to the issues that everyone was concerned about - what to do next?

Chataiji said with a little headache: "Don't hide it from the cardinal, the development of this battle is a little beyond my expectations, originally according to the meaning of the Great Khan, I mainly came to cooperate with the cardinal to defeat Boshoketu, and then only took Boshoketu himself to the naturalized city to ask for responsibility." However, for now...... At least seventy or eighty percent of the main force of Boshoketu's Jinong headquarters has been wiped out, and I am now holding so many people, how to deal with it is not appropriate, it is really rare. ”

If you can, of course Gao Pragmatic wants to say, "Since it's embarrassing, then you might as well give it to me Daming", but unfortunately this is definitely impossible, and the Tumuts are crazy and probably won't agree.

And if you really want to do this, the balance within the Ordos Department will be completely broken, even if it must be a great decline in power for a while, it seems to be good for the Ming Dynasty, but it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to eat the Hetao now, so after that, a single big cutting department can take the opportunity to unify Ordos.

This in itself is also a situation that Gao Shishi wants to prevent, so he can't let the Boshoke Tujinong headquarters really collapse, and may even have to help them a little.

"It seems that General Tokhtar thinks that these more than 30,000 captives have now become a hot potato in your hands, and it seems inappropriate to deal with them?" Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "What is the general's preliminary intention?" ”

Tokhtar smiled bitterly: "What can I do?" This is Jinong headquarters, I am just a Chataiji, I dare not swallow others, otherwise I will be regarded as a rebel by the whole of Mongolia. Even, I can't take them to Tumut - Jinong headquarters has the responsibility to protect Genghis Khan's mausoleum, and if you bring Tumut, in case the Great Khan can't help it...... Well, the Great Khan can't afford to be charged with that at that time. ”

Genghis Khan was almost a god in Mongolia, and no one dared to take him seriously, not even the slightest disrespect to his mausoleum.

The name "Ordos" comes from the ancient Turkic language, which roughly means "the palace of the Khan, the place of the mausoleum", it can be seen that their existence is to protect the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, so even if Jinong is replaced, it is a trivial matter, but his headquarters must not be moved, otherwise it is disrespectful to Genghis Khan.

This is also the reason why Tokhtar is worried that Hannaji will not be able to resist annexing the main force of Jinong's headquarters, because once he does this, it will give Tumen an excellent excuse to claim that Hannaji does not respect Genghis Khan - an analogy is equivalent to saying that Zhu Yijun is not surnamed Zhu at all, and the consequences can be imagined, and even the rationality of inheritance is gone.

But since Hannaji can't do anything to them, bringing this group of people back to Huacheng will become a burden, and if Tokhtar really brings them back, Hannaji will definitely not be happy, and he will feel that he has also received a hot potato in his hands.

When Gao Shishi heard this, he asked, "According to Mongolian customs, what should be done at this time?" ”

Chataiji said: "If the father dies and the son succeeds, if Jinong dies, or is unable to perform his duties for other reasons, of course his son will take over." ”

Gao pragmatic asked: "Does Bo Shuoketu have a son?" ”

"The trouble is here, Boshoketu currently has only one daughter, and no son." Chataiji smiled bitterly: "Besides, even if he has a son, it doesn't matter, he himself is only twenty-one years old, how old can his son be, how can he manage the huge Ordos Wanhu?" ”

Gao pragmatically said: "So according to Mongolian tradition, is it time for Hatun to be regent at this time?" ”

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but it is more troublesome here, Boshoketu's Dahatun died in childbirth at the end of last year, and there is no new Hatun now." Chataiji looked like he had a headache, and he spread his hands helplessly, and said, "So the Regent of Hatun can't find anyone." ”

Gao asked again: "Are there any other options?" ”

"Yes, yes and ......" Chataiji frowned, hesitated, and said, "Then only the ministers will take the temporary regent, but generally speaking, the two ministers will be regents." ”

Gao asked quietly: "If this is the case, who can be the regent of the Ordos Ministry?" ”

"At the moment, there are exactly two of them." Chataiji still frowned, and said: "One is to cut off the Huang Taiji, and the other is to recklessly Sichuguker Dai Hongtaiji. [Note: The meaning of the words Huangtaiji, Hongtaiji, Hongtaiji, etc. is the same.] ]

Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with the latter one, who is he?" His name seems to be somewhat similar to that of Ilduzi's younger brother Chukukr? ”

"The resemblance is just a coincidence, this person is the youngest uncle of Boshoketu." Chataiji explained, and then asked: "The Shutai should remember our Mongolian tradition, the youngest son guards the stove - so Gukardai has a lot of military power, and even this time he went out with Bosoktu. The veteran I just mentioned that reminded Bosho Ketu many times is Gu Keldai. ”

Oh, so that's the case, no wonder that man wasn't even afraid that Bo Shuo Ketu would be angry, and he couldn't imagine that he was actually Bo Shuo Ketu's uncle, which is understandable.

Gao pragmatic said: "General Tokh thinks these two people are inappropriate? "Old friends Chinese network

Tokh hesitated a little, and replied: "Actually, I am not very good at this matter, but Gu Keldai is the main supporter of Boshoketu, and he should be very tough, if he is regent, I am afraid that the Ordos Ministry will still have trouble." As for the cut, he is a good candidate, but unfortunately he is very sick now, and he doesn't know how long he can last. In case it doesn't take long for him to ascend to heaven, then I'm afraid that there will be some turmoil in the Ordos Ministry, which doesn't seem to be appropriate. ”

As soon as Gao Shishi heard it, he knew that Tokhtar was really not good at this kind of thing, and in fact, neither Gukeldai nor Che Duan was indeed not suitable for regency, but the reason was not as Tokh thought.

It should not be wrong to say that Gukeldai is the main supporter of Bosoketu, but he supported Bosoketu in the first place, and I am afraid that a large part of the reason is that at that time, the strength of the cut was actually stronger than that of Bosoketu. In this way, as the son of Ji Neng, in order to ensure the dominance of their large branch in the Ordos Department, he can only help Bo Shuoketu, so as not to become a "big sect" instead.

However, if Boshoketu himself loses power or freedom for some reason, in order to ensure that his power is not lost, he may not only be satisfied with co-regency with Cheto, but also consider taking control of his own "inheritance".

This reason is very simple, it is his own headquarters that he has mastered, and he Gu Keldai is only in charge of the Khan's court headquarters on behalf of Bo Shuoketu. The word "generation" means that the authority is insufficient, and the strength of the Khan's court headquarters has been cut off after this battle, and now it is still not authoritative enough, so isn't he, the regent, going to be suppressed to death? In the long run, who is the master of the Ordos Department?

Therefore, he will have to find a way to change the situation, and the easiest way to change this situation is for him to directly seize power.

However, this kind of seizure of power is inherently risky, and its success or failure is unknown, and the slightest failure may lead to direct chaos in the Ordos Ministry - this is obviously not what Gao Pragmatism wants.

Gao pragmatic doesn't want Ordos to mess around, he just wants Ordos to maintain a basic balance and maintain a situation where both sides must find ways to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, which is the best situation for the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ordos Department can easily control and increase infiltration.

On the other hand, he became one of the two regents? Tokhtar thinks that it is a good thing to be a regent in itself, and the only thing to worry about is that Che is going to die of illness as soon as possible.

There are also problems with this idea. Of course, Che Duan is a pro-Ming faction, there is no doubt about this, but the prestige of Che Du in the Ordos Department is already very high, and in recent years, it has finally been difficult because Bo Shuo Ketu has entered the "youth rebellious period" and began to disagree with him, so his prestige has declined to a certain extent.

If this time he becomes regent again, or even overpowers Gukrdai, then the situation will return to ten years ago. However, the Ming at this moment is not the Ming ten years ago, and the Ming ten years ago needed to firmly control the Ordos Ministry from chaos, but the Ming at this moment not only asked the Ordos Ministry not to be chaotic, but also required that no one in the Ordos Department should be dominant.

Why? Because in Gao Pragmatic's view, the Ming Dynasty aimed at the Mongolian tribes, whether they were close to or behind us, they would eventually want to unify the Qiankun, but this unification of the Qiankun did not necessarily need to be forced by war.

For example, Tumut and Ordos, who accepted the tribute, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty was generally relatively relaxed and close, could completely rely on political and economic penetration and influence to achieve their goals, and such unification also had a more social foundation and was not prone to recurrence in the future.

Then, after maintaining the overall situation of the Ordos Department in the early days of the tribute, he has actually completed his historical mission, and there is no need for a strong man like him to control Ordos in the future. Ordos now needs to "decentralize power" and form a situation of "various factions competing for favor", so that it is convenient for the Ming Dynasty to gradually divide and disintegrate, gradually control secretly, and gradually sinicize them one by one.

Therefore, neither Che Duan nor Ilduqi are suitable to be the regent, and this regent should be another person with a high status, but who does not have the possibility of unifying Ordos.

Of course, Tokhtar is not good at politics, but at this time it is good news, because it is convenient for high-level pragmatic intervention.

Gao Shi was pretended for a moment, and then said slowly: "General Tokhtar is right, since Gukerdai is a hawk - oh, I mean, since he is a hardliner, it is indeed not suitable for regent, lest in the future he disagrees with Chechen Khan, and there will be a situation where Hetao does not obey orders, which will be somewhat a trouble for my Ming Dynasty."

As for Che Quan, he is one of the few great sages in the Ordos Department, and the title of Chechen Hongtaiji is worthy of the name (Note: Chechen, that is, the Mongolian word for wisdom, wisdom, and the title of Che Du in Mongolian historical books is Kutuktai Chechen Hongtaiji). However, the general also said that he is now seriously ill, and he may not be able to take on the responsibility of regent, and second, in the event of his death, his son Ildu Qi ......"

Gao Shishi said that Ilduqi, his face seemed to be a little hesitant.

Tokhta's heart moved, and he asked, "The cardinal is worried about Ilduqi's disloyalty?" ”

Gao Shishi didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly: "I'm just a little worried about this, but what's more important is that this time he helped me defeat Boshoktu, and Gukerdai himself was captured because of this, I'm afraid I'm extremely dissatisfied with Ilduqi." As for Ilduzi, you can see it, he also seems to be a little belligerent...... If these two people are both regents, if there is a fight in the future, it will not be a good thing for Daming or Tumut. ”

Only then did Tokh remember that there was still such a "possibility", and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly nodded: "Not bad, this is not a good thing, Ordos can't be messed up anymore!" Otherwise, when the time comes, I, Tumut, will have to fight against the Tumen on the one hand, and on the other hand, I will have to be distracted and take care of the situation in Ordos, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? ”

Gao pragmatic nodded with a solemn face, looking worried, but his heart was happy.

If Lao Tzu's political opponents are all at such a level, it will be really good luck in the world, but unfortunately Shen Shixing's level can also get rid of seven or eight streets, alas...... It's tricky to play politics or Han Chinese, and it's all old monsters who have become elves.

Seeing that Gao was a little hesitant, he couldn't help but become anxious, and asked restlessly: "Then what should I do, I just made a rough inventory, and there are more than 30,000 prisoners on hand now, plus the baggage troops of the Bosho Ketu Rear Army who are advancing, it is estimated that there may be between 33,000 and 35,000 by then, how should I deal with so many people?" ”

Although today's battle seems to be on a grand scale, because the main battle is only an ambush and a short fight, the real loss of the Ordos Khan's tent headquarters is not large, it is estimated that it is about 2,000 at most, so the anxiety of Toktok is reasonable, and he may really have about 35,000 prisoners on hand by then.

Gao pragmatic pretended to think about it again, and then finally saw the dagger, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "Ah, I have thought of the best candidate for regent." ”

Tokhtar was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Taihu is rare - Taigal Zzungen Hatun."
