Chapter 099: Borrowing a Knife
Where does this dawn appear? In the royal palace.
At the time of the Ningxia mutiny, the Qingwang Mansion was broken, and the Qing King (the old Qing Wang, this is the son but has not yet been attacked) because he was young, he was hidden in the cellar by his mother and concubine and escaped a catastrophe, but the Qingwang Mansion in Ningxia belonged to the fields, products, gold and silver and soft and other things, which were looted by the Bibai party.
This money was originally intended to be used as the capital for the Bibai party to recruit troops, but later, because the city could not be conquered for a long time, Bibai and others were worried that the back road would be lost, and spent a lot of money to persuade Boshoketu to act as its reinforcement. For this reason, Bibai not only promised Huamachi to Bo Shuoketu, but also gave him the gold and silver obtained from the Qingwang Mansion, and only the things such as land and real estate remained in his hands.
Gao Shishi had heard this news a little before, but it was not very conclusive, and it was not clear how much property the Qingwang Mansion had been scraped by Bibai, but now Ilduqi told him the answer.
Although the real estate of Qingwangfu left in the hands of Bibai and others is unknown, the total value of the gold and silver obtained by Bo Shuo Ketu alone is as high as 1.47 million taels, which does not include those antique toys that Bo Shuo Ketu does not understand at all, and Bo Shuo Ketu only knows that these antique cultural toys "have a total of 19 cars".
This news really frightened Gao Pragmatic, like Jinghua is so famous for his wealth, he may not be able to take out nearly 1.5 million taels of cash anytime and anywhere in the northwest, more wealth is actually reflected in all kinds of real estate and commodities, goods, and just a Qingwang Mansion, can actually scavenge so much cash, it is really dumbfounded.
However, Gao Pragmatic thinks about it carefully, and it seems to be understandable. King Qing is not a "rising star", the first King of Qing is called Zhu Chang, and there is also a record of Zhu Yu, he is the sixteenth prince of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, called Ning Zhen, Ning Zhenzi.
Ming Hongwu Wuwu, that is, the first month of the eleventh year of Hongwu, was born in Yingtianfu. He died of illness on the third day of August in the third year of Orthodoxy at the age of 61. After his death, he was buried in the tomb of King Ming of Weizhou, Tongxin County, Ningxia. After Zhu Chang's death, he was called "Jing" by Yingzong - this is a compliment, probably saying that he has made great contributions to the country.
The first Qing king was in Ningxia in the twenty-sixth year. In order to pay for it, he was ordered to be stationed in the city of Guweizhou in the north of Qingyang, and rented in Yan'an, Sui, and Ning. In the twenty-eighth year, the emperor Li Qingyang, Ningxia, Yan'an, and Suide were in military affairs. Thirty years after the establishment of the residence.
According to the official records of the imperial court, "Wang is studious and literate, loyal and filial by nature." Cheng Zu is good, so that the year one to Weizhou summer. At the beginning of Xuande, it was said that Ningxia was humble and wet, the water spring was evil, and the beggar was still in Wei. Don't allow, let the year come and go, such as when you become an ancestor. At the beginning of orthodoxy, Shi Zhao, the chief military officer of Ningxia, played Wang Fu's border affairs, occupied the pastures of Lingzhou for animal husbandry, and sent envoys to return from the Suide grassland to incite the local people. Before the chapter was issued, he or sued the king for military parades, made weapons, and purchased heavenly documents. Zhu Chang's suspicions are all obvious. Three years on the book, please migrate to the country to avoid Zhao. Yingzong can't, Yishu condolences. Its year. ”
The main meaning of the whole paragraph is that the king of Qing does not like Ningxia and wants to move a little inland to Weizhou, but it has not been approved. Later, he was reported by the Ningxia General Army, saying that he was occupying grassland again, parades, making weapons, and buying heavenly books - which means that he was suspected of rebellion.
So in order to avoid this general soldier, and also to prove his innocence, King Qing asked for internal relocation. At this time, it was already the Yingzong Dynasty, and the imperial court's suppression of the vassal king had been much more relaxed than during the Chengzu period, so Yingzong did not agree, so King Qing's family stayed in Ningxia.
It doesn't matter whether the first Qingwang thought about rebellion or not, but there is a clue worth noting here, that is, as early as the time of the first Qingwang, there was such an act of "occupying grassland" in the Qingwangfu.
The pasture itself is not valuable, but the pasture of the early Ming army was used to raise horses, and King Qing's occupation of grassland was definitely not to enjoy the natural scenery of the prairie, he either raised cattle and sheep, or raised horses, but no matter what he raised, because this person actually did not have any rebellion or even signs, so he occupied the grassland must have been to make money - in other words, the first Qingwang had already begun to operate.
Eight generations have passed since the Qingwang lineage, and the current generation of "Qingwang" is the ninth generation, and the Qingwang Mansion has been rolling money for two hundred years, even if it has been staying in Ningxia, which is not rich, it is indeed not surprising that it is rich.
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the property of the vassal king must of course be particularly protected, and since Gao Shishi defeated Bo Shuo Ketu and even arrested people, then the silver in Bo Shuo Ketu's hand should of course be recovered as "dirty silver", and then returned to the Qingwang Mansion as it is.
However, Gao Pragmatic obviously doesn't plan to do things according to this convention - what to do for Qingwangfu? The ban on the opening of the feudal domain by the imperial court did not harm the interests of the princes, and the return of this money to King Qing was nothing more than to continue raising pigs. Instead of that, why not do something more meaningful?
As for the future livelihood of Qingwangfu, there is actually no need to worry about it at all, because Gao Shishi can only take away the floating wealth that can be obtained from Bo Shuoketu, the land and real estate of Qingwangfu, etc., and he will definitely have to return it to him after he is pacified, and Qingwangfu will not starve to death.
However, this floating wealth cannot be taken away and finished, and there are many possible troubles, so it is best to be prepared in advance. For example, after the war in the future, King Qing Shangshu wants the court to return the money to him, and he has to have an explanation, and he has to let the court have an explanation, otherwise he will be very passive.
There are two easiest ways to do this, one is to directly claim that you don't know the money, or you don't know where the money went; The other is to openly say that I have collected the money and will spend it on the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi.
The first way, if nothing happens, of course it is excellent, you can spend it however you want, but the trouble is that it is unlikely that there will be no accident, King Qing lost nearly 1.5 million taels of silver, can he not say anything? Not to mention the virtues of these princes, even if he is pragmatic, he can't bear it, such a large sum of money is gone for no reason, how can it not make a fuss?
And as long as there is a commotion, this matter will definitely not be hidden, because there are too many people who know, and now a large number of people in the department of Bosshoketu know, and Ilduqi also knows, and in the future, as soon as Gao Shishi collects it, there will be more Ming troops who know. Even if you want to spend this money in the future, it is impossible not to explain where this money came from, and it is even more of a well-known situation, how to hide it? I can't hide it.
So this path doesn't work, you have to look at the second one.
Confiscated this dirty silver openly and then used it in the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi, theoretically speaking, it seems to occupy justice and justice, but in fact, things are not so simple.
This is the Ming Dynasty, not the Red Dynasty, and it is impossible to convince people with the truth that "the people are above all else", and few people will listen. Although "water can carry a boat and capsize a boat", this money does not rise to this extent, because it itself is the private property of Qingwangfu - Daming may not have the saying that "private property is sacrosanct", but it does not mean that there is no such thinking, especially under the premise that the owner of this property is still the prince of the clan, it is impossible to violate and occupy it at will.
Looking at Zhu Yijun's performance, you can know that in the world where filial piety governs the world, the "kissing" relationship belongs to the relationship between the sect and the government, and even the emperor does not dare to ignore it, so although the royal family can suppress the military power of the clan, they dare not easily touch their property - what's the matter, you, the emperor, are reluctant to even give the same sect a mouthful of food?
Whoever is the emperor can't bear this sentence, otherwise when Gao Pragmatic unleashes the ban on the domain, why does a lot of space be spent on solving the problem of the survival of the clan? Didn't you dare to provoke this kind of sect **, and didn't dare to let the emperor carry such a big pot.
For this reason, it is not easy to collect it directly, and we have to find another way.
When he came back to his senses, Gao Pragmatic praised Ilduqi, but found that Ilduqi didn't seem to be very happy, and he rolled his eyes and understood the reason.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said, "General Ilduqi is disappointed because he failed to show his military might in this battle?" ”
Ilduqi sighed unhappily and said, "Yes, I thought I could fight a battle, make some merits, and go back to Abu...... Well, confess to my father, who knew that Boshoketu was frightened by his uncle's words...... Alas. ”
Gao pragmatically smiled and said: "In this battle, you have already made great contributions, general. "Pythagorean Library
"What is this?" Ilduqi shook his head and said: "The cardinal platform doesn't know, this credit may be counted in the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of our Mongolians, it doesn't count, the Mongols count their war merits, and they must win the battle in a real way." The last general took this exploit and went back to Abu and told him that Abu might be able to drive me out. ”
Gao pragmatic laughed and said very intimately: "I see, the headquarters understands." However, it is actually very easy for you to make war exploits, general, but ......"
"Just what?" Ilduqi hurriedly asked.
Gao pragmatic sighed: "I'm just afraid that the general won't want to......"
After all, Ilduzi was not a stupid person, and his heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "What does the cardinal mean...... Is it to let the last general go to fight Ningxia? ”
Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Ningxia?" Well...... What does the general think? ”
Ilduqi opened his mouth slightly, and stopped talking.
Gao pragmatic said with a smile: "If the general has anything to say, you might as well make it clear, although once the military order is announced in the headquarters hall, it is indeed not discussed, but it is not the case in normal times, everything is easy to discuss." ”
Ilduqi smiled bitterly: "The last general doesn't want to discuss anything, but the 20,000 warriors under the last general's department are all cavalry, and I'm afraid it's not easy to fight Ningxia...... Ningxia is surrounded by the Great Wall Xiongguan, the inner and outer twin cities and the 47 forts. Don't be afraid to say something taboo, if the last general's department had this ability, Ningxia City should have been owned by the Ordos department at least a few decades ago. ”
Oh, that's right, if the Mongols could really take these fortified cities and forts, they should have been defeated long ago when Altan Khan was dominating the north, so why wait until today?
Gao Pragmatic smiled when he heard this, and didn't care about his "taboo", but nodded and said: "What the general said is reasonable, but the headquarters doesn't plan to let the general go to Ningxia Jiancheng." ”
"Oh?" Ilduqi was a little surprised, but he remembered that Gao was pragmatic and good at using soldiers, so he couldn't help but think about it, and asked with some surprise: "The last general has long heard that the cardinal is the smartest person in the world, does the cardinal have a way to trick Bibai out of the city to fight in the field?" ”
Gao Pragmatic didn't know when he became the "smartest person in the world", and it was estimated that the Mongols were wrong about the meaning of "champion", but this was not the key, he just shook his head slightly: "There is no such consideration in the headquarters for the time being, it is not a question of whether it can be done, but that the battle of Ningxia should not be fought like this." ”
This is a new thing, is it any difference how to fight? Ilduzi even forgot about himself, and said in surprise: "Why? Oh, the last will say...... So how to fight? ”
Gao Pragmatic said lightly: "Don't count, force the fight." ”
Ilduqi looked stunned, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?" ”
Gao Pragmatic smiled softly, revealing a touch of coldness indifferently: "Because I want some people to take a look, no matter what fortified city and giant fortress, the great tomorrow soldiers can attack everything." ”
Ilduqi thought that Gao Pragmatic meant to warn himself or other Mongol leaders, but he thought about it and felt that it was wrong.
What Gao Pragmatic just said was "no matter what fortified castle", but Mongolia has a fart fortified fort? Even if the naturalized city of Hannaji or Dabansheng is promoted, it is obviously far from a fortified city in front of the city of the Ming Dynasty, and the object of Gao Shipra's words is obviously not the Mongols.
But if it's not the Mongols, then who else can it be? There is a Burma in the south, which is said to have been very jubilant a few years ago, but it was cleaned up by the Ming Dynasty last year; There are still Jurchens in the east, but the situation between the Jurchens and the Mongols is not much different, although some villages are also called "cities", but that thing is a fart in front of the Ming Dynasty? Obviously, there is no talk of a "fortified castle".
Can talk about the ...... of the fortified castle It seems that only Daming's own family has it, what's going on?
In fact, Ilduqi guessed correctly, the object that Gao Pragmatic was referring to was actually in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not clearly referred to - any feudal king who might raise troops to rebel or make a commotion in the process of opening the ban was the object of Gao Pragmatic's warning through the Battle of Ningxia.
Ilduqi thought for a while and didn't understand, but since he didn't mean the Mongols, he didn't bother to think about it all the time, and turned around and mentioned his stubble: "Since the battle of Ningxia doesn't need the assistance of the last general, I don't know where else to find the last general's military exploits?" ”
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said, "Naturally, I went to Huo Luochi and the Rabbit brothers to find it." ”
Ilduqi suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Where are the two of them now?" ”
Gao Pragmatic pointed to a pair of military newspapers on his desk, and said: "I just received the news today, they sent troops ten days ago, and they have forced the defenders of Nian Bo to retreat eastward, and now they are attacking the West Datong River Fort under the jurisdiction of Zhuang Langwei. ”
As a member of the suite, Yile Duqi is no stranger to the situation near Zhuang Langwei, if Nian Bo has been lost, and Huo Luochi is attacking the West Datong River Fort, it means that the "corridor" leading to the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty is already in danger - the width of this passage is not even a hundred miles, and it may be broken at any time.
This is indeed a good place to make meritorious contributions!
"The last will go!" However, Ilduqi still has a big question that must be asked: "But if the last general goes to Zhuang Langwei, this command ......"
