Zhu Yijun saw Gao Pragmatic pretending to be serious, but there was a smile in the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help laughing, and said happily: "There are many people who want to be officials, but not many people dare to ask for them in front of the emperor."
See you. Tell me, what kind of official position do you want me to give you? Well... you are already the Young Sima, could it be that you want to be the Great Sima now?"
Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Da Sima has a great responsibility, but I am young and have little knowledge..."
"It's true that you are young, but you are too modest for being ignorant." Zhu Yijun chuckled, and then said: "Oh, keep talking."
Gao pragmatic wanted to be humble, but when he interrupted him, he simply didn't bother to continue and said directly: "I haven't decided what official I want to be..."
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned. The meaning of his expression was very obvious. You didn't even think about it, so why did you still say you wanted an official position?
Gao pragmatic continued: "But in principle... it should sound like we are preparing to launch a decisive battle against Chahar."
Zhu Yijun was slightly startled, but he quickly understood and his eyes lit up: "Oh, I understand. Are you trying to use the reputation of the Monan War to pretend to be in command to scare the Tumen?"
Gao Pragmatic smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, I do mean this, but I don't know if that false reputation is enough to scare the people."
"If your 'false name' is not enough, I don't think anyone will be enough." Zhu Yijun laughed, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I think this idea is good. As you just analyzed, Huo Luochi, focus on
The two rabbits are just two free chess pieces on the Burihatu chess board. If you get them, you will be lucky, if you lose them, you will die. They are not important at all. What really matters is the movements of the Ordos Department."
He curled his lips slightly and snorted: "However, no one can guarantee when Qie Jin will die. As for how the situation will develop if Qie Jin really dies, it is still unclear at the moment. In this case, in the end,
The best way is to make Tumen dare not move. As long as he dare not move, Tumut can confidently subdue Ordos and ensure that our Ming Dynasty is proclaimed great and that the defense line of thousands of miles on three sides and other places is unshakable."
Gao Pragmatic nodded and said: "What the emperor said is very true, and there is another point by the way: once Tumen is worried about our Ming Dynasty sending troops, Burihatu will not dare to stay in Qinghai for a long time, whether Tumen calls him back or he takes the initiative
Returning will make the fire fall red, and the two captives will lose their support. With the wisdom of the two captives, once there is no guidance from Burihatu, how will their plans be implemented? It is nothing more than dry bones in the grave, and sooner or later they will be captured by our Ming Dynasty.
, Xiao’s first pass is right in front of you.”
"Of course!" Zhu Yijun felt that these words sounded particularly encouraging, and he seemed a little excited, and said: "As soon as Burihatu leaves, Huo Luochi, Jilihao is not worth mentioning, and Guyuan's army may not be needed by then.
Mobilizing, one town in Gansu may be able to regain Xining. And if Burihatu really goes back, it means that his conspiracy has completely failed, and Tumut will still order the entire right-wing Mongolia to defend our country."
Gao pragmatically smiled and nodded.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "You are now the Minister of Military Affairs. If you are transferred to the outside as usual, you will only be a governor. Ji Liao? Xuanda? It seems that it is not enough..." He scratched his head and seemed a little hesitant.
.
At this time, Chen Ju, who had been standing quietly beside him, suddenly reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, according to the old court rules, it seems that you can be temporarily appointed as an administrator."
Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, he struck with both palms, and said happily: "Yes, the governor is not enough and he has a manager!" He reacted quickly this time and said immediately: "I see it, it turns out that according to our previous plan, we will deal with the Tumen
The main forces of the First World War were also located in the seven towns of Jizhen, Liaodong, Changping, Baoding, Xuanfu, Datong, and Taiyuan. Since you want to scare Tumen this time and make him think that the Ming Dynasty is about to send troops, then simply send them
Doing a complete set of this play can even be regarded as a rehearsal, covering all seven towns!"
Gao Yingshi hesitated and said: "These seven towns are of great importance, and I have little official experience. If one person manages the seven towns, I wonder if the court will approve it?"
Zhu Yijun didn't take it seriously at all, waved his hand and said: "I only let you visit Jiliao. The seven towns of Xuanda have already considered the imperial meeting. If not, I would also let you visit the three towns and four towns at the same time - that way
It will definitely make people more afraid."
Gao Pragmatic still said: "But generally speaking, it seems that only the four towns of Jiliao are needed to launch troops against Tumen..."
"Otherwise." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "To shock the Tumen, perhaps only one Ji Liao is needed, but if that's the case, you can just replace Zhou Yong (Governor of Ji Liao). What else is needed?"
Zhu Yijun said seriously: "I want you to take over the three towns of Xuanda, not only for Tumen, but also for Ordos in Hetao. After you analyzed those words just now, I suddenly remembered something. This matter was reported by Jin Yiwei.
, it’s about losing the rabbit and cutting it off.”
The lost rabbit is Boshu Ketu (different from the other lost rabbit in Tumut). He is a Mongolian Jinong, a lord of ten thousand households in Ordos, and a serious "Khan". Old Khan Jineng is his grandfather.
The Jin Yiwei has always been responsible for external investigation, and the investigation of the Mongolian ministries is one of the focus, so it is normal for the Jin Yiwei to report to the Ordos Ministry. Gao Pragmatic nodded when he heard the words, and looked like he was listening.
Zhu Yijun said: "Buyan Batur, the father of Boshu Ketu (in order to distinguish Tumote's divination rabbit, Boshu Ketu will be used from now on, but please note that Boshu Ketu is not the name the Ming Dynasty called him)
Same as above, the clear translation is "Baduer Huangtaiji", which is different from Tumut's Baduer, but the latter cannot be called Huangtaiji) Do you remember?"
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "This man died in the first year of Wanli. If I remember correctly, he died in the Western Expedition."
Zhu Yijun praised: "Qiuzhen really knows the situation well! Yes, in the sixth year of Longqing, this man succeeded his father as the governor and Tongzhi. In the first year of Wanli, perhaps in order to establish his authority, he personally led the army to conquer Oara and surrendered the Oarahuite tribe.
, but was immediately killed by Eserebe, the leader of the Huite tribe who surrendered. At that time, the Ordos tribe was leaderless..."
When he said this, he smiled slightly: "If it were in other places, I'm afraid it would be time to take advantage of the situation and fight for the position of helping farmers."
Gao pragmatic smiled, but shook his head and said: "I know that I am not this kind of person."
"What kind of person do you think he is?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and asked.
Gao pragmatically said calmly: "The Duke of Zhou in Ordos."
Zhu Yijun was startled and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Your evaluation of Qie Ji is really unexpectedly high."
Gao pragmatic didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Zhu Yijun was too lazy to dwell on this and continued: "You guessed it right, Boshu Ketu was originally young at this time, and Qie Jin had a good chance of replacing him, but Qie Jin did not do so, and instead raised him seriously.
He...oh, by the way, he is still the cousin of Jungen Hatun in Taigal, that is, the cousin of Boshu Ketu."
This kind of situation is very common in Mongolia. Besides, Qie Jin was also a person with the title of "Huang Taiji" and was Anda's nephew. We were all related to each other to some extent.
Gao Pragmatic remained silent, and Zhu Yijun continued: "Although the Mongols have the tradition of 'Hatun Regency', the situation at that time was not very good, because Buyan Batur was in power for less than a year, and he originally wanted to
After a battle to establish his prestige, he unexpectedly died in Wala. This was a huge blow to the prestige of his team. Many people in Ordos hoped to replace Qie Jin. If Qie Jin refused, they would establish another Buyan.
Batur’s brother—anyone.”
Gao pragmatic thought: "Judging from Qie Ji's personality, he should focus on stabilizing the internal situation. After the situation is settled, it may be time to send troops to avenge Buyan Batur."
"Yes, he did do this, so the position of Jinong remained vacant for four or five years. It was not until Qiejin personally sent troops to the west to bring back the heads of his enemies that he used his military power to conquer Boshu Ketu.
Support the throne of farmers."
Gao pragmatically nodded: "So, if Chejin has raised Boshu Ketu and supported him, then Boshu Ketu should be deeply grateful to Chejin?"
"Ordinary people should be honest." Zhu Yijun curled his lips and said: "It's a pity, I'm afraid it may not be possible."
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised: "How to say?"
"Last year, I tried my best to pay tribute to Boshu Ketu first." Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jinyiwei himself went to investigate this matter because it was not in line with the convention - guess what happened?"
Gao pragmatic thought and said: "He is definitely not a rash person. Of course he also knows that according to the convention, Jinong should pay tribute first, and his turn will come later. Since he is the first to pay tribute, I am afraid it will be Boshu Ketu's side.
problem. In other words, he is forcing Bo Shuketu to stand up."
"You are really good at predicting things." Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "Something really happened over there at Boshu Ketu... At that time, Chejin just got sick, and there happened to be an envoy from Tumen visiting Boshu Ketu.
, the messenger was nominally saying that Tumen intended to re-establish the five ruling powers, but in fact he was trying to persuade Boshu Ketu to turn against Tumut. In this way, Boshu Ketu wanted to deliberately delay the payment of tribute to see if everything could be done.
There was a reaction...The result was that we tried our best to pay tribute first and forced him to express his position."
Gao Pingshi sighed, shook his head and said: "Qie Jin has shown all his kindness to Boshu Ketu, but it's a pity that his illness is getting worse and worse."
"Yeah, it's true that good people don't live long..." Zhu Yijun sighed with emotion, and continued: "And there will be a follow-up to this matter."
"What's wrong?" Gao pragmatically asked.
Zhu Yijun said: "When Qie Ji was not sick, no matter what he did, no one in Ordos would dare to object, or at least no one would dare to object openly. But this time is different. After Qie Ji rushed to pay tribute, although
Boshu Ketu was forced to quickly make up the tribute and come to the court, but soon many people in Ordos started making noises, blaming Qie Jin for not following the rules and paying tribute first to farmers."
Gao Pingshi snorted and said disdainfully: "Take advantage of others' danger."
Zhu Yijun nodded in recognition and added: "But this incident is enough to prove that at least two factions have been formed in Ordos today, one is pro-Ming, and the other is pro-Tumen."
Gao Pragmatic thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not necessarily the case. In my opinion, many of these people are not really close to Tumen. The reason why they do this is probably because they do not want to always be inferior to Tumote.
——The emperor must not forget that according to Mongolian tradition, Jinong is both the 'deputy khan' and the 'prince' of all Mongolia, and the status of Ordos was originally higher than that of Tumote."
Zhu Yijun thought about it and said: "You mean, Tumen wants to use them, and they also want to use Tumen?"
"Of course." Gao Pragmatic nodded in affirmation.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, but I don't think they have much wisdom. These moves are just to adapt to the wind and fall on both sides. They think they have a plan, but they don't know that they are already in Buriha
The chess game is being planned."
Gao pragmatic smiled: "That's for sure. In the eyes of Burihatu, it doesn't matter what the various departments in Ordos really think. He just needs Ordos to be in chaos. Hey, Boshu Ketu and others want to rebel.
It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to come here and use the help of Tumen to weaken Tumut and allow his Ordos tribe to become a real 'Jinong' again."
Zhu Yijun nodded, agreeing with Gao's pragmatic point of view, then sighed, turned the topic back, and said: "This is also the reason why I asked you to manage the three towns of Xuanda together. Now these idiots in Ordos have been exposed
Rihatu's plan deceived everyone, and the original Dinghai Shenzhen was cut off and he was seriously ill. He didn't have much time left to live. If you don't use your name to scare them, I'm really afraid of what these idiots will do.
If something stupid happens, it doesn't matter if they kill themselves, but it ruins our plan, which is not a good thing."
Gao pragmatic thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "It is true that the opinions of people and things are terrible, but since the emperor is so sincere, I have no choice but to do it in the name of strategy, hoping to make those people sober up."
"It's not the name of a false manager." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "If you are asked to do a good job, you can do it well. The affairs of these seven towns - the two governors and the six governors (Ji Town and Changping have no governors, both are under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Governor)
All the areas under your jurisdiction are under your control. Except for not actually launching a decisive battle against Tumen for the time being, you have planned all preparations for the war in advance. I think this is also a good thing, and you can be more fully prepared."
Gao pragmatic hesitated and said: "Isn't it the old suspicion formation? My original intention is just..."
"I know." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "But Burihatu is not stupid. If we are just spreading suspicions, I think Burihatu will be able to see it. It is better to really do something, or even to do something.
Show your authority as a manager and let Burihatu discover that you can indeed mobilize the power of these seven towns, so that he will be afraid."
Gao Pragmatic said in astonishment: "But I haven't even considered where this strategy should be stationed..."
Zhu Yijun said nonchalantly: "Then you should think about it now. Hmm...but I think it's best for you not to be too far away from Beijing."
Gao Pingshi asked: "Why is this? I just thought about whether to go to Daning altogether, so Tumen would definitely be the most nervous."
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "That's definitely not possible. You are the Minister of Rongzheng, and your people have gone to Daning. Who is in charge of the Imperial Guard?"
Gao Pingshi was shocked: "Since I want to be a real manager, why don't I step down from my position first?"
"Why do you want to resign?" Zhu Yijun took a look and said: "The Imperial Guard and the Production and Construction Corps are just starting to look good. Now that you are resigning, who can take care of them?"
