Chapter 424 The Mongolian faction in the military

The two brothers following Ulutus looked at each other and knew something in their hearts. They had already prepared a draft for this matter. They just waited for Ulutus to ask questions and expressed their opinions.

Even if Ulutus didn't ask them, they had to show their position on appropriate occasions. In the Ming Dynasty, although the factions were not obvious, there were still factions. Without mentioning the division of civil and military officials, they were divided into several factions based on ethnic groups. There were also regional factions in Eastern Mongolia, Liaodong, Shandong, and Goryeo, and even the Yuan Cong faction and surrendered minister faction divided according to Ulutus's family.

This time, the title of Zhou Shao is a contest between the civil and military officials and the Mongolian sect and the Han sect. You have me and I have you, but I have you, but the position is not clear. As a military general, Quan Xu is a Han minister. In the military general faction that mainly consists of Mongolian generals, he is a rare representative of non-Mongolian generals.

The surrendered generals, as well as the generals of the Jurchens, Khitans, Goryeo and other military generals, were used to following him as the leader. Although Quan Xu was low-key, his power could not be concealed. It was precisely because of this that he gained a firm foothold within the military and received the same status as those Mongolian generals.

Regarding this title, the few non-Mongolian factional generals in the military were very peaceful. It was precisely because of this that Ulutus would ask Quan Xu about his opinion in person. As for Quandong, as a civil servant, his position was established and it was not difficult to guess. Ulutus's inquiry was just an accomplice.

At the banquet, almost all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital came. Seeing Ulutus coming in dressed in brocade clothes, they all worshiped and saluted.

In front of everyone, Ulutus did not put on any airs, but helped Zhou Shao and Abatu up in person.

This kind of respectful behavior immediately aroused the two of them, and they refused to accept it.

Because although Ulutus had acted as a respectful wise man in the past, he always helped him in vain, unlike this time, who bent down to lift the arms of two important officials of the court.

"You don't have to be too humble. I say you can bear it." Ulutus praised in front of everyone: "As the heads of civil servants and military generals, you protect our Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles. I know this contribution in my heart."

While saying this, Ulutus looked at the others present.

I don’t know the profound meaning of Ulutus, and the other court officials only lowered their eyebrows and nodded, looking like they listened carefully to their teachings.

Then he heard Ulutus say again: "I have always clearly defined rewards and punishments. I will definitely give what should be given. I will definitely not give more. Military generals have made contributions outside and civil officials are comforting the place inside. Zhou Qing, you are the founding minister who followed me from the Eastern Mongolian grasslands. I have seen the hard work and great contributions over the years."

"Old me thank your highness for your wish!" Zhou Shao shouted, and was about to worship and salute, but was blocked by Ulutus and said, "You and I have been with you for many years. There is no need to be so polite. And today I am here to celebrate my nephew's first year ceremony. It is not a strict court, and everyone doesn't have to be arrogant."

Zhou Shao could not violate the will of the saint, so he had to give up. But his eyes were a little red and his voice was choked. After all, women were to please themselves, and scholars died for themselves. It was also a blessing for him to be a minister who was polite to his ministers.

I thought that I was just a ninth-rank sesame official from the Jin Kingdom in the first half of my life. Later, I was captured in Mobei and became a low-ranking herd slave. I thought that my second half of my life would be like those Jin people who were similar to those whip of the Mongolian master, and slowly disappeared into the vast grassland under the whip of the Mongolian master. Finally, Huawei was covered with loess.

It was not until he met Ulutus that he had the opportunity to get rid of his status as a shepherd slave and become a superior person. Now facing his former face, he doesn't have to bow down. All of this was given by the boy in front of him.

In this regard, he was not only grateful, but also devoted himself more and more to the efforts of his energy to make the Ming Dynasty stronger and the throne of Ulutus more stable.

As for Feng Jue, he said he was not moved, that was fake!

But the criticism that this caused was indeed not what he wanted. He even thought that if his title attracted strong opposition from the Mongolian faction, he would take the initiative to resign. After all, he knew that the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty lies in the army and the Mongolian generals who held military power.

As a Han minister, there was nothing unacceptable to surrendering to the Mongolian generals. In the Khan Court, the status and status of Han ministers were much lower than those of the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Jin Dynasty, Han ministers did not have such emphasis on the Ming Dynasty.

As a person, you must be grateful and repay with evidence. As long as Ulutus understands himself and understands himself, it is enough.

Now that Ulutus's words fell, all the court officials said they did not dare. The civil officials all agreed and praised Zhou Shao for his good governance. The military generals remained silent, as if waiting for a higher level of statement.

Seeing this, Ulutus looked at Quan Xu.

Understanding the meaning of Ulutus, Quan Xu immediately said: "Zhou Shumi's envoy was in charge of the rear and was a meritorious in assisting the government. Our front army generals only focused on conquering cities and territories, but were not good at appeaseing the local areas. If it weren't for the colleagues led by Zhou Shumi, they were well-organized, and those areas they had won would not be so easily under the banner of the Ming Dynasty."

His statement represented the opinions of the non-Mongolian generals of the military. Immediately, the generals of Borha and others praised Zhou Shao.

At this time, Ulutus smiled and looked at Abatu, and said warmly: "The Grand Governor is the strong minister of the Ming Dynasty and the right-hand man of my king. I think when I was in Manzhouli, you and Zhou Shumi also cooperated with each other to make my king's tribe stable and orderly.

If it weren't for the help of you two, my king's foundation wouldn't have been so smooth.

Now you are old acquaintances. In your opinion, can Zhou Shumi deserve the position of county magistrate?"

Abatu suddenly understood that Ulutus was asking him to express his attitude.

In fact, he was not disgusted with Zhou Shao. When he was a small tribe of 100 people, he had never thought of his current achievements, so he didn't care about the identity of the other party's Hannu at that time. He just felt that Zhou Shao was very modest in dealing with people and doing things smoothly together, so he looked up to him a little bit.

Although Zhou Shao's character is relatively taciturn and his relationship is not considered brotherly, he is also familiar with each other. I don't know when, but the two suddenly became unfamiliar and gradually became farther and farther away. Later, due to the differences in factions, they even felt a natural sense of hostility.

Although both of them have never broken up on the surface, they have never had any contact. They both abide by their own acres of land without crossing that boundary and interfering in their own affairs. Sometimes, if the people below can do it, they will still tacitly restrain one or two. But there are still defenses between them. For example, Bagabandi, who was isolated among civil servants in the past, and Quan Xu, who is now a slightestly one or two in the military.

This kind of existence that naturally was probably brought with him the attributes of the camp. While they were guarding each other, they also had a tacit understanding and did not attack. Even if Bagabandi committed suicide, it was the other party's own attack, not the result of the entire civil officials' attack on him. Later, Ulutus supported Zheburige again, and the civil officials also accepted it silently.

Although there is a truth that Ulutus cannot disobey, the tacit understanding between their civil and military factions is also indispensable.
