Zhu Yijun has reason to be worried, after all, the origin of this incident is indeed an accident in his opinion, and the important thing is that the time when this accident happened is very unfortunate.

In order to defeat Chahar in one fell swoop, the Ming Dynasty is now in the final accumulation of strength, so it opened a ban on the domain, and it is difficult to open a ban on the domain.

If these three years can be spent peacefully, it is conceivable that the Ming Dynasty at that time will be able to temporarily get rid of the unfavorable situation of financial embarrassment, and can concentrate on conquering the remnants of the Chahar Yuan forces, and achieve the long-cherished wish of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. And Zhu Yijun, the son of Wanli, didn't dare to say that he was comparable to Taizu, at least he could be compared to Chengzu's great achievements.

As a young genius, what could be more exciting?

It's a pity that although the battle of Gao Shishi Monan was fought very well, it also created a Buzhihatu, who came out when his father's love was in great danger, and was finally taken in by the Tumen, and became the mastermind that the Tumen now rely on.

It's really a hero in troubled times, if there is no battle in Monan, maybe Buzhihatu, who is not the eldest son, Taiji, will be unknown to everyone.

Gao pragmatic always suspected that Xining's matter was not so simple. The reason is not complicated: the depth of the Tumen by Buzhihatu should probably be regarded as "not leaving for a day", and even so, he still made a detour to Mobei to Qinghai, is it just to fool the two fools of Huo Luochi and Zhuli Rabbit?

The strength of Huo Luochi and Zhu Li Tu is probably calculated at the upper middle level under the intelligence of Jinghua, and the total number of people can be 50,000.

This strength is indeed not weak, but if it has to be said to be strong, it is not necessarily very strong, after all, their strength is the sum of the two of them, and the second is that they need to be mobilized. If you look at it separately, there are more than 20,000 people in their own family, at best, it is only the level of fried flowers the year before last, and it may even be worse.

If it weren't for the checkmate thing, it would probably be very difficult for Buzhhatu to win them over, because he was not only the eldest brother of the two of them, but also very strong, and he was the dominant Hetao—stronger than the titular head of the Ordos Ministry and the Great Mongolian Jinong Boshuoktu.

With all the suppression, the Ordos Department will not be in chaos, and Huo Luochi and Zhuli Rabbit are afraid of Tumut and Ordos joining forces, and they dare not easily agree to the wooing of Burihatu.

However, as soon as he could not see things, this situation was immediately shaken, and it was very likely that Buzhhatu saw this, so he traveled west to Qinghai, wanting to use Huoluochi and the two as a breakthrough, not only to disturb Qinghai and Gansu, but also to take advantage of this disaster to lead the water to the east, and pull Tumut's loyal ally Ordos into the water, resulting in a situation where Tumut was either left and right enemies, or lost an arm.

No matter what Hannaji chooses in the end, Buzhhatu or Tumen Khan can reap the benefits of this - when the enemy declines, he is strong.

Gao pragmatically estimated that the time point at which Buzhhatu chose to travel west should be the time when he was sure to be seriously ill and dying. I have to say that his grasp of the situation is quite accurate, because Huang Taiji is really an important figure in maintaining the master-slave relationship between Tumut and Ordos.

Back then, he was able to ask for tribute on behalf of Ji Neng after I successfully paid tribute. To this end, the hard work of seeking tribute was carried out, and it was successful, and it was also affirmed by Wang Chonggu and rewarded by the Ming Dynasty.

Longqing Xinwei (1571), Ji Neng sent to cut all the "tribute city than Xuan, big", cut the pro-text for the text. In the inside, "most of them feel that Xu I replied to the king and paid tribute, and Gu Ci participated in the Buddhist language". Wang Chonggu "made him look at me and answered." Do your best as promised".

Therefore, Wang Chonggu "read and did his best to welcome the table, accumulate more merits, and please appreciate the color paragraphs", and the edict can be reported. Immediately afterwards, he summoned all his efforts to the Qingshui camp to give it, and he kowtowed to thank him.

This shows that from a long time ago, Che was the tribute faction among the Mongols, and he was the person who actually presided over this matter within the Ordos Ministry.

There is another point that Gao Pragmatic has already thought about after learning that Xining was lost, that is, what kind of impact has the strength of the cut on the relations between Ming and Mongolia.

Undoubtedly, the strength of the exhaustion is indeed second to none in the Ordos Department, he "has a strong vision, and the left and right are important", and he was deeply relied on by Alta and Ji Neng at the beginning, and even had a significant influence on the entire Mongolian tribe.

In the past, the Tuban "gathered 60,000 households, formulated a great law, and instructed Namuda Huang Taiji, the left-wing Wanhu Zhongchahan'er [Wanhu], Weizheng Subuhai of Hanha [Wanhu], Namutala Heluo Chinayan of Asu [Ministry], and Namulu Pullik Huangtaiji of Tuban [Wanhu] to take charge of the regulations." [Note: The translated names of the Mongolian historical books used above.] ]

In other words, at that time, the five consuls of Mongolia, Alta sent to Chahar was his eldest son Xinai, that is, the eldest grandson of Alta (he went on behalf of his father Xinai), and the Ordos Ministry sent it was Che Quan, which shows that Che Duan was already a figure second only to Ji Neng in the Ordos Ministry at that time.

However, does the strength of the cut pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty and the peace of Ming and Mongolia? Gao Pragmatic recalled that whether he was going west or returning to the east, he tried his best to restrain the Ministry, and used strict discipline and means to restrain the Ministry, and he himself would definitely not threaten the Ming Dynasty.

"Ji Neng died, hurt his father day and night, and urgently treated the funeral. In the aisles, they all take robbery as a ring. ”

"In the spring and February of Renshen (1572), it was all about treading water and bordering the border...... It was to tell the ministers in a book, roughly saying: 'Don't dare to violate the Taishi's prohibition, and go to the Black Mountain, rain and snow for ten years, hardships, so that horses and cattle are consumed, but the Taishi is merciful, and allows me to open the market, dare to compare the fire with the red? ’…… Commanding the subordinates not to rob or offend the Han, the order will be set up immediately.

So, from the crow's mouth to the black city, before the trip to the ancient city of grass, left two horses, and the guerrilla Zhu Xun made the envoy chase him. And the captives also burned down four rafters of my Wujiazhuang earthen house, and fined 40 sheep, a flag, and four sheep. Naturally, the Han captives were damaged, and the punishment rate was normal. "And restrain the people, and obey the commandments." Cut off the chieftain and make her layman. ”

Gao pragmatic carefully recalled the records of the offenses over the years, but did not find a record of the offenses. In other words, abiding by the agreement all your life is a sincere tribute, and it is by no means a "fallacy and tameness".

This kind of taminess that has been consistent for more than ten years cannot be pretended to be - such as Huo Luochi and Zhu Li Rabbit, they have long had a record of committing crimes, and even appeared after the tribute, and they were only reined in after being reprimanded by the Cutting Letter, until this time they were seriously ill.

Moreover, Gao Pragmatism is different from Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun probably does not take into account deep-seated cultural issues and other issues, while Gao Pragmatism has always supported the Mongols to worship Buddha as early as the beginning of the year's tribute. In the matter of worshipping Buddha in Mongolia, Che Duan is also a very important figure.

There is a saying in the historical circles of later generations, which is to say, "Do your best to welcome the Buddha". This statement is even supported by historical materials in the "Wanli Wugong Lu", which is explained in the biography of "Wanli Wugong Lu: Cutting the End of Huangtai Jilie", saying that as early as the year of Renshen (1572), he had asked for scriptures and Buddhist beads from Fuchen Liao Fengjie during his westward journey, indicating that he had already believed in Tibetan Buddhism at this time. It's just that in the eyes of the Ming officials at that time, they tried their best to "be loyal and sincere to the Buddha". When he arrived in the year of Ding Chou (1577), he tried his best to "trick" me into leading his army west to welcome Buddha, in fact, in order to reach Suzhou and the West Sea to provoke disputes between Ming and Mongolia. No. 3 Chinese Network

There are some problems with the statement of "Wanli Wugong Lu" here, probably because the Ming officials did not trust the "Tartars" very much during this period, and in fact, Huang Taiji was a faithful believer in Tibetan Buddhism. In the later period of Jiajing, when he led his army deep into the Qinghai region, he came into contact with three local monks and brought them back to the Ordos Department. [Note: This account is too long for me to quote it.] ]

So, at that time, was the reason and purpose of the westward expansion passive or active, and was it really a belief in Buddhism or an intention to invade the border? Gao pragmatic thinks that he really believes in Buddhism.

Because in fact, Altan Khan's relationship with Tibetan Buddhism has been established since the Jiajing period. According to historical records, in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558), Altan Khan met and captured some Tibetan merchants and more than 1,000 lamas in the West Sea during his expedition against the Sali Uighurs (Yellow Headed Uighurs), and then released them.

However, in fact, the Mongol right-wing departments had already gone to the West Sea many times before, and the first time Altan Khan personally led his troops to the West Sea was in the 11th year of Jiajing (1532). Even if the "Biography of Altan Khan" prevails, before the 37th year of Jiajing, Altan Khan still had three records of expeditions to the West Sea region, namely the 11th, 13th and 22nd years of Jiajing, so this time in the 37th year of Jiajing was actually the fourth time.

If it is said that Altan Khan did not encounter Buddhist monks and monasteries on his previous expeditions, it is probably unrealistic and absolutely unbelievable, but these activities are not recorded in historical records, after all, Mongolian documents are relatively rough and cannot be compared with Chinese documents. Therefore, Gao Pragmatism can be sure that Altan Khan's contact with Buddhism should be before the 37th year of Jiajing.

Of course, Altan Khan's detailed understanding of Buddhism should have been in the fifth year of Longqing, or the first year of Wanli, but Altan Khan's belief in Buddhism was not the result of exhaustive demagoguery, which is also recorded in the "Biography of Altan Khan", which will not be said here.

All in all, he was a great believer in Buddhism, and he and he contributed to the great conversion of Tumut and Ordos to Buddhism at the same time. Then it is very important for Gao to maintain the policy set by the exhaustion, which means that he must urge the Ming to help Tumut in this matter.

"Although the loss of Xining happened suddenly, in the final analysis, it was the plot of Burihatu, and the key to the plot of Burihatu is not the fire falling red, focusing on the rabbit, let alone Xining." Gao said in a deep voice: "The real key to this matter lies in the Hetao!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at him intently, Gao pragmatic stretched out his hand and pointed at Kanyutu, and said: "Your Majesty, please look, from west to east, Qinghai, Ordos, Tumut, Chahar." Of these four forces, Chahar was originally alone in the east. If Burihatu wants to disturb Tumut's interior, Qinghai alone is not enough.

Huoluochi, the two captives of the rabbit are only 50,000, if the Hetao is not chaotic, it is at most just the disease of ringworm scabies in the western Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, the minister made the worst assumption - if I let Xining go and leave it alone, what would the situation be? ”

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, and hesitated: "This...... Embarrassing, right? ”

"Just hypothetical." Gao pragmatic emphasized.

Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Then let it go first, let all parts of Gansu be careful for a few years, and wait until we destroy the remnant yuan." ”

"Exactly." Gao pragmatically nodded and said: "Without Xining, I will definitely be harassed in the past few years on the northern foot of Qilian Mountain, but it is impossible for Buzhihatu to stay in Qinghai for a long time to give advice to Huo Luochi and others, so once he returns to the east, as long as he is careful, he can still be prevented." Even if there are some losses, it is not fatal to the big picture. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "And once the Ordos Department is in chaos, the matter will be serious. As I said earlier, once the Hetao is in turmoil, Tumut will have to make a choice, either to conquer the Hetao south and regain control of the situation, but then it is likely that the Tumen will attack the Toyosu Beach.

Either stick to the Toyoshu beach and abandon the Hetao, but in this way, Tumut will be completely isolated. If Burihatu makes persistent efforts and says that Boshuoktu (the lord of Mongolian Jinong and Ordos Wanhu) and Tumen will attack Tumut, then my efforts for more than ten years in the Ming Dynasty may be in vain. ”

Zhu Yijun's face sank like water, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "It is better not to happen if the matter of Tumut's southern expedition does not happen, because even if everything goes well, it will be a civil war, and the damage will be to the strength of Tumut and Ordos - the emperor, these two forces are now at least subordinate to my Daming, and they can also be used to balance or even threaten Chahar." ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "I know this, the problem is that now I can't help!" ”

"We can still help." Gao pragmatically shook his head.

Zhu Yijun was surprised: "Yes, how can you help?" Then he immediately added: "Don't say that you will send troops, that will not work, it will delay the big thing." ”

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "The retracted fist is the most deterrent." As he spoke, he made a fist clenching motion.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but move in his heart, and thought about it: "You mean...... Let's set up suspicions, scare and scare the figures? ”

Gao Shishi laughed when he heard this, and said, "Why not scare the figures? I thought it would be best to scare everyone except Tumut! ”

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, he was interested, and hurriedly asked, "How to scare?" ”

Gao Pragmatic suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister is going to be an official." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned: "An official? ”
