Chapter 143: The Tuda Rebellion

Why is it impossible?

Zhu Qizhen was influenced by stereotypes.

Do you really think that the Mongols are herding?

Not necessarily, not to mention how many modern Mongols can bow horses, just to show that north of the Great Wall in the later period, many Mongolians also farmed.

And the Mongols have lived with the Han people in the northwest, and it is a mistake in itself to regard them as Mongols outside the Cypriot for so many years.

Sure enough, Yang Hong said: "The Tuda people in various places are in the northwest, and they also cultivate and graze. And the pastures in the northwest are much better than those in the north. When it comes to the northern steppes, many of them are not adaptable. Although the grassland allocated to them by the imperial court was several times larger than before. ”

Zhu Qizhen understood the reason for this.

But he couldn't say he was wrong.

Without him, it is hard to garrison the grassland.

But didn't the guards of the Ming and Han people garrison the grassland?

The relocation of a large number of guards to the north was itself a means of reforming the imperial court, cutting off all ties between the guards and the local area, and then purging the interior.

The interior of the guards was reorganized, and many of them were restored to their combat effectiveness.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen is the absolute main force in his heart, and he has always been the people of the Beijing camp, and the guards in various places are just used to garrison, or simply to maintain law and order and provide food and grass.

The imperial court is so political, naturally there are some things that can't be taken care of.

But this is not a reason for Tuda to rebel everywhere.

It is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to give Tuda special treatment. Otherwise, what about other health centers?

Even Zhu Qizhen has been given special treatment, and this special treatment is that these Tuda tribes, although most of them have the official title of the Daming Guard, but the internal is in the mode of a tribe. This pattern is not easy to disrupt.

Therefore, the internal structure of these guards has not been moved much by the imperial court.

Now that Zhu Qizhen thinks about it, he always feels that this talent is rebellious, not because he is too heavy, but because he is too light.

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, thinking about why it was useless at the moment, what he wanted to think about was how to suppress it. He immediately asked Yang Hong and Guo Deng: "How is the garrison in the northwest?" ”

Guo Deng's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Northwest emptiness? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What's the matter? ”

Shaanxi is an important town in the northwest, in charge of several towns, Gansu, Ningxia, Xining, Guyuan, are all garrisons, and now how can it be empty.

Guo Deng said: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions. In Dading, Tibet, the imperial court transferred a large number of troops from the northwest and stationed them in various places, but now the northwest has a great shortage of soldiers. And they are stationed in various places. ”

"Take Gansu Town as an example, there were originally 70,000 soldiers, but now Gansu Town has 15,000 soldiers. The soldiers of Gansu, Ningxia and Yulin did not exceed 50,000 people. ”

"And on and on

A land of a thousand miles. ”

"I think the situation is not easy to clean up."

Zhu Qizhen got up and paced, his brain spinning as he walked. He knew it in his heart. The soldiers and horses in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty have not changed much, but a large number of troops were in Gansu and Shaanxi before, but now they are distributed in Tibet, southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang and other places. This made the local forces in the northwest very insufficient.

It's also a shift in the strategic significance of the Northwest Territories.

In the past, the northwest region was faced with enemies on three sides, and it was natural to garrison troops on a large scale, but now the northwest region is a major transportation route, with Tibet in the southwest, the Western Regions in the northwest, and the grassland in the north.

It's just that I never expected that such a thing would happen.

Yang Hong still didn't seem to think that the situation was bad enough, and he said: "Your Majesty, as soon as Shi Heng goes, Man Jun will rebel on his hind feet, and Juyan is in the east of Yizhou, once he goes south, he will cut off the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. ”

"This matter must be left untouched."

Yizhou is Hami.

Hami is the gateway to the Western Regions, and the road from Gansu to the Western Regions is also the most traveled road from the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions.

Once this road was cut off, the Ming Dynasty could only take Longcheng westward through the Maoli Tribes to transport supplies to the Western Regions, and then they could reach Ili.

This road is much more difficult to walk.

And when Zhu Qizhen thought of Maoli children, he chuckled in his heart, and immediately had a bad conjecture.

He asked Yang Hong, "Do you think that Man Jun's rebellion is his own intention?" Manjun was a Mongol. ”

Yang Hong and Guo Deng both knew what Zhu Qizhen was referring to, and naturally he was the only person with real power in the Erjinjin family, Mao Lizi.

Yang Hong said: "It's hard to say now. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I know, first of all, the Manjun Rebellion must be settled quickly, who do you think can take charge of this matter?" ”

Yang Hong said: "Wu Jin. Wu Jin is born as a Tartar official in the northwest, and even has a marriage with Tartar officials in various places, and he is also loyal to the imperial court. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Guo Deng, and Guo Deng immediately said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Zhu Qizhen said to Huaien: "Pass on Wu Jin." ”

Wynne immediately sent someone.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Maoli has to be guarded. Ordered Fang Jin to gather the soldiers and horses of the Mobei Dusi, west of Jinshan, once there is a change, he will cross Jinshan and break the hair. ”

"Your Majesty, no." Yang Hong immediately said: "It's autumn now." ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "It's a good calculation." ”

Zhu Qizhen felt more and more that this matter was calculated in advance.

Because Mobei is in winter, the snow covers the mountains, even if there are millions of troops, too

It is difficult to fly, and if you want to go from Mobei to the Western Regions, you must wait until the beginning of spring next year.

It's going to take more than half a year.

It's hard to say what will happen during the time of most of the year's own activities.

This is after Zhu Qizhen put the strategic focus on changing the law, his strategy for the Western Regions has changed from the previous aggressiveness, the destruction of the thorns and the speed of the thorns, to the current maintenance of stability.

I can't say that Zhu Qizhen made any mistakes.

But the world is not Zhu Qizhen's alone. Time is fair for everyone.

Zhu Qizhen has his own rhythm, and others have other people's plans.

At this time when Zhu Qizhen was unwilling, he had to face the challenge of the Western Regions.

Wu Jin has been a general of the Chinese army all these years, and part of the Chinese army is the garrison army stationed in the palace. Wu Jin is also one of Zhu Qizhen's most trusted generals.

After all, the Wu family has proved themselves with loyalty.

So Wu Jin came quickly.

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qizhen immediately asked Guo Deng to tell Wu Jin about the situation.

Then Zhu Qizhen said: "In this battle, the two princes recommended you. I can also trust you, tell me, how are you going to fight? ”

Wu Jin pondered for a while and said: "This battle is very involved, and it must be resolved quickly, so I ask Your Majesty to allow your Majesty to transfer 50,000 cavalry from the three armies, go out of Xuanda to Dongshengwei, drive westward, and attack Yanwei." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Ju Yanwei? Will Man Jun still be in Juyanwei? ”

Since Man Jun rebelled, he would not stay in Juyanwei and wait for the army to encircle and suppress him.

Wu Jin said: "Your Majesty, even though Manjun does not defend Juyan, Juyanwei is still Manjun's lair, and Juyan is not attacking the city, but attacking the heart. ”

"The power of the imperial court in a hundred battles and victories, shocking the world, Man Jun is only a moment of pride, Juyan is broken, all the departments will be frightened, Man Jun or look back at the battle, head-on to break the imperial army, in order to unite the army. Otherwise, it will be an end of scattered departments. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yang Hong and Guo Deng, and Yang Hong and Guo Deng nodded one after another.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, let's do it." ”

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen asked people to write the holy decree and use the jade seal, and then Guo Deng signed it on behalf of the cabinet, and Yang Hong used the seal on behalf of the Privy Council, and this holy decree of transferring troops had legal significance, and Yang Hong, Guo Deng, and Wu Jin immediately went down to work.

After all, it is quite difficult to mobilize 50,000 cavalry between the stars and nights, even if there are many garrisons in Beijing, and it will probably be a sleepless night for the Privy Council, the three armies, the military department, and the various yamen tonight.

"Your Majesty, the head of the cabinet asks for a meeting." After Zhu Qizhen was just done, he listened to Huai En.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Think about it, he should come too." ”

After all, the head of the cabinet is the head of a hundred officials, and there is such a big movement in the imperial court, so naturally it cannot be hidden from him.

"Please." Zhu Qizhen said immediately.
