Three hundred and twentieth chapters Mongolian civil strife
At that time, Torre's eldest son Meng Gehan led his army to attack Diaoyu City in Chongqing, but the city was not captured. He was injured by artillery stones fired from the city. He was not accustomed to the acclimatization and died of a sudden illness.
Meng Ge died suddenly and suddenly, and he was so hasty that he did not leave a will to determine the successor before his death, which led to five years of civil war between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge for the throne. In this battle for the throne, Ali Buge was defeated.
, was imprisoned and died, and Kublai Khan eventually became the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The victory of Kublai Khan's line lasted for hundreds of years. Even if he was expelled from the Central Plains by the Ming Dynasty, he was still the Great Khan of Mongolia. But today, the position of Great Khan of Mongolia has been transferred from Kublai Khan's line to Ali Buge's line. He can only
It is said that losers can turn around sometimes, even if it takes a hundred years.
The debate below continued, and suddenly the Minister of Rites said something: "Kings descended from Alibuge have lived in the grasslands for generations, and have strong traditional Mongolian customs. I am afraid that there will be considerable conflicts with other kings who are accustomed to the customs of the Central Plains.
"
After hearing this, the Minister of War thought and said: "What Li Shangshu said makes sense, not to mention that Yesudie'er was attacked and killed improperly. Although Mongolia does not attach much importance to this aspect, the kings will inevitably die in grief. If anyone can attack arbitrarily,
If they want to kill the Great Khan, then who can guarantee that Yesudier will not attack them, after all, they are the descendants of Kublai Khan."
As long as there are more people, there will be intrigues. It is the same no matter what ethnic group. Although the Mongolian kings are all of the blood of Genghis Khan, they are not harmonious with each other. Now the orthodoxy of the direct line that has lasted for more than a hundred years has suffered repeated blows.
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. It can be said that Yesudier has made a start. In the future, the grassland will probably become an era where strength is valued rather than blood.
This is actually a kind of degradation. Although it seems that the strong is king from generation to generation, in fact, civil strife will break out in each generation, everyone's ambitions will expand, the golden blood will lose its sanctity, and the conflicts between tribes will also disappear.
Difficult to relax.
If things go on like this, Mongolia will be divided and return to the state before Genghis Khan. The tribes are hostile to each other and do their own thing. They are dotted in the vast grassland and no longer have the courage to sweep the world.
So what the Ming Dynasty has to do is to promote this matter. Yesudier is now uniting various ministries, hoping to gain support and become the new Mongolian Khan. What the Ming Dynasty has to do is to divide and let them voluntarily give up the name Mongolia, which connects all the tribes in the grassland.
Number.
Zhu Biao sat quietly on the chair and thought quietly. Only when Mongolia is completely unified can it have the power to dominate the world. Just like the Soviet Union in later generations, once it collapses, it will no longer be able to become a world-leading force.
The discussion continued until dusk, during which news from the north continued to be transmitted, and officials from various state capitals also hurriedly wrote letters asking for instructions on whether to mobilize grain and grass supplies to prevent unexpected events.
Naturally, such a big matter cannot be decided in a few hours. After everyone had retreated, the Zhu family and his son stood up and moved around. As the saying goes, there are many plans, but the only one who can make the decision is the emperor. In the end, it was the emperor who took the blame.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sunset outside and asked: "Biao'er, what should you do if you sit in this position?"
Zhu Biao did not hesitate. He did not say anything after listening to it all afternoon just because it was not necessary: "I thought we were going to fight, but we can only fight for one battle. After that, no matter whether we win or lose, we must withdraw. We must not be dragged in."
Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal: "Why fight? You should know your family background. It's not just for the so-called face."
Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile: "What kind of dignity should be paid to the important affairs of the country? I just thought that even if we didn't take the initiative to attack, Sudie'er would definitely build momentum and unite the Mongolian tribes to advance into the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. His position is unstable, and he must
It can transfer internal conflicts and at the same time win over neutral tribes."
"After all, Mongolia was beaten back by us. It has only been a few years, and the hatred is far from forgotten. Originally, Tuogu Si Timur restrained them, and now that Sudie'er has come to power, he will naturally do the opposite to him.
Otherwise, his righteousness in killing the Great Khan would be gone."
Up to now, the details of the Mongolian rebellion have been passed on in detail. Yesudier, together with the commander of the Great Khan's bodyguard, Kuokuo Timur, led the troops to surround the Great Khan's golden tent, and cursed him for betraying the golden bloodline.
Glory acted like a dog to the Ming Dynasty and was not qualified to inherit the throne of Khan. Then he led his troops into the camp and personally hanged the Mongol Khan with a bowstring.
Many kings responded later, and they were unwilling to languish on the grassland. The wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains had long been in their hearts. In their eyes, it was entirely the fault of Wang Baobao and Prince Beiyuan that the Ming Dynasty could defeat them.
They destroyed the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, otherwise they would not be restricted to the grassland.
Of course there were those who were supportive and those who were opposed, but their preparations, the dead and injured, were all forced to go south, hoping to join forces with the Ming army to wipe out the rebels, and then elect the new Mongol Khan from among them.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as he looked at the map. In fact, it is possible to hold on. The land of Yanyun is in hand, and Mongolia's vitality has not yet recovered. It is impossible for them to break through the defense line. However, once the confrontation resumes, the hard work of the past two years will be lost.
In vain, Mongolia will send troops to invade at any time, and Ming Dynasty will have to constantly station troops in the north.
Zhu Biao continued: "Since Tianbaonu is still alive, then I, the Ming Dynasty, will call on the kings of Kublai Khan's line in his name and promise to annihilate the rebels and divide all the pasture land in the northern grasslands to them. Tianbaonu
I don’t dare to object to this situation now.”
"It will be great if we win in the future. My Ming Dynasty still has control over the grassland. We can collect cattle, sheep and horses every year. It doesn't matter if we don't win. The Sixteen States of Yanyun are enough to maintain the Tianbaonu side from being completely wiped out. The grassland
Since then, the Tianbaonu are weak and can only rely on the protection of the Ming Dynasty in order to survive, and there is an extra layer of barrier in the north."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Waging a war is easy, but what should I do if I have no money or food?"
Zhu Biao also thought about it and said directly: "The common people definitely don't have it, so we can only start with the wealthy merchants. Just a few years after the troubled times, they must still have the grain they saved back then. Maybe it tastes bad, but
It is enough to serve as military rations."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Apart from corrupt officials, what he hated most was wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families. He felt that both of them were unreliable, not to mention how could they donate food for no reason? They were probably waiting for the drought in Shaanxi and Gansu to sell it at a high price.
Woolen cloth.
Zhu Biao also knew that his father was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He could not conjure food out of thin air. If Mongolia did not take advantage of the fact that Yesudier's foundation was not stable and suppress it in time, it would cost far more in the future than it does now.
Much more, just adding a large number of troops to garrison would be a terrible waste.
