Taigalzhungenhatun is the wife of Buyan Batur and the mother of Boshu Ketu. Taihuhan is also the common translation in the Ming Dynasty. "Taihu" is the Mongolian transliteration of the Chinese "Queen Mother", "Taihu" is the Ming Dynasty's common translation.
"Han Tong" means "Hatun".
She is the cousin of Huang Taiji of Qie Jin, and she is a pro-Ming sect like Qie Jin. For more than ten years, she has worked hard to maintain the tribute and mutual trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and has won the praise of the Ming Dynasty.
In the fifteenth year of Wanli in the original history, her son Boshuoketu Jinong led his troops out of Hetao and headed west to attack Mingbian. She cried repeatedly and sent people to dissuade her, but unfortunately Boshuoketu did not listen. The result was not good.
Unexpectedly, Boshu Ketu was not only defeated and injured, but also his beloved daughter was captured. (Note: Baidu Encyclopedia said that his granddaughter was captured. This record should be wrong, because Boshu Ketu was only 22 years old at this time.
.Or maybe the "granddaughter" in the encyclopedia refers to Taihu Hantong's granddaughter, which is correct).
Taihu Hantong then came forward to apologize to the Ming court, Boshuoketu's daughter was released, Boshuoketu himself was allowed to return to Hetao from the West Sea via Gansu, and the Ming Dynasty and the Ordos tribe resumed the mutual trade relationship.
It can be seen from this that Taigal Zungen Hatun and Tumote Zhongjin Hatun are both pro-Ming sects, or they can also be called "doves".
But the reason why Gao Pangshi chose her to replace Boshu Ketu as regent is not only that. The more important point is that there is another difference between her and Zhongjin Hatun: Zhongjin Hatun is a real person because he inherited a large number of Ada's headquarters.
A powerful faction, but Taigal Zhungen Hatun does not have the strength of Zhongjin Hatun. After her son Boshu Ketu "pro-administered", she "returned the great power" and only had a very small amount in her hand.
Guard, apart from her own identity and prestige, she does not have much influence within the Hetao.
Gao's pragmatic consideration is that Taigalzhungenhatun, as the biological mother of Boshu Ketu, has no grandchildren and no daughter-in-law, so it is natural for her to act as regent on her son's behalf. At the same time, she has no personal power.
It would not cause some internal strife within the sweat account headquarters and damage the strength of the Jinong headquarters - if she really had this intention, Boshu Ketu might not have been able to successfully obtain the power.
At the same time, she has a close relationship with the Chejin family. Gao Pragmatic believes that even if Chejin himself really dies, Yilduzi is unlikely to do anything to his aunt. After all, Taigalzhungenhatun is a very restrained person.
A woman would not easily provoke her nephew. Even if Ilduzi had the intention, it would be difficult for her to find any reasonable reason to argue with her aunt.
But the "non-dispute" between the two sides is superficial. Taigal Jungenhatun will definitely not allow Yilduzi to encroach on her son's subordinates and territory. This is the inevitable mentality of a mother. And if she will face
The pressure was really too great. According to her status as a pro-Ming sect, there were only two people she could turn to for help, either Tumut or Daming.
However, regardless of whether she seeks help from Tumut or Ming, her pragmatic goal has actually been achieved. Ming will have the opportunity to penetrate deeper into the Ordos Ministry with power and influence, especially within its top management.
If things go on like this, just as Tumut is now inseparable from the Ming Dynasty, the Ordos tribe will one day be the same as Tumut, and can only serve as the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.
War can quickly suppress the problem, but war cannot solve the problem in the long term. If you want long-term peace and stability, you have to start from the foundation. The above are Gao pragmatic means to reshape the foundation for the Ordos Department.
Tuotuo obviously didn't expect what Gao Pragmatic was thinking. He just felt that if Taigalzhungenhatun was regent, judging from the current situation, it would be the safest. She not only had reasonable reasons for being regent, but also had a suitable identity.
It will clash with the Kirin system, which is perfect.
So Chatterji expressed his support for this, but he also said that this support was only his personal one. The final decision of what should be reported and what instructions should be requested from the Khan was still with Hannaji and not him.
Of course, he thought there would be no problems with the Great Khan. After all, there was no problem with this candidate, and it was proposed by Gao Pragmatic, so it was impossible for the Great Khan to refuse.
After this important matter was negotiated, Qia Taiji felt much more relaxed. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Now that my errand to the south has been completed, I wonder if there are any other instructions from the hub? If not, I will wait for you."
When the cattle and sheep of Boshu Ketu's rear army arrive, it's time for me to return north to Tumut and return to the Great Khan."
Of course, Gao Pragmatic was not willing to let Chataiji go back so easily, and said with a troubled face: "It stands to reason that since General Tuotuo's mission has been completed, it is natural for him to return to the north, but... you can also see the situation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the moment.
In my eyes, I think it is not the best time for the general to return north."
Although Tuotuo was not at the level of a politician, he was a famous Mongolian general, and he could still understand the current military situation. Therefore, when Gao pragmatically said this, he directly asked: "Do you want me to stay in Ningxia?"
Do you want to put more effort into the battle? To be honest with the Privy Council, I don't mind staying and fighting, but there are two issues that I hope to reach an agreement with the Cardinal Council."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "General, let's not talk about it for now. Let me take a guess."
Chataiji laughed and said: "The Priest is wise and wise, and everyone in the world must have guessed what two things I want to say?"
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "The first thing is that the general must hope that I can ensure that Tumen will not invade the west, right?"
Qia Taiji was really not surprised at all. He nodded directly and said: "Yes, this is the first one. I wonder if the Cardinal can guarantee it?"
Gao pragmatically said calmly: "I can ensure that the Chahar Ministry will never invade the west with its main force. At best, it can only feign an attack or a little test - I wonder who is guarding the eastern front of Tumut now?"
"It's Qingbadu." Qia Taiji asked seriously: "He has more than 20,000 cavalry on hand. I wonder if the governor thinks he can handle this 'feint' or 'test'?"
"Yes." Gao pragmatically said with certainty: "If Tumen didn't have Burihatu by his side, I might have to think more carefully about whether he would send his troops to invade the west this time, but in the end, Burihatu would have no choice.
It will take ten days at most to return to Chahanhot. Now that he has returned, it will be impossible for Tumen to launch a large-scale westward expedition."
Qataiji was a little confused: "This guy Burihatu still has some abilities. Now that he has gone back, Tumen will be even more powerful, so why won't they go to the west?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Because Burihatu knows that the westward expedition to Tumut at this time will not only be unprofitable, but will also make his achievements in the past two years in vain. General Tuotuo, you can think about it,
If the Ming Dynasty and Tumut are still in a hostile relationship, will Chechen Khan send a large number of troops to attack Chahar when the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops are directed at Guihua City?"
Tuotuo shook his head and said: "Of course not, isn't this crazy? As soon as he leaves, Guihua City and Dabansheng will definitely be taken away. Even if Chahar is captured, the foundation of his family will be completely lost.
Jing, this is not a good deal."
"Of course." Gao Pingshi said immediately: "The current situation in Tumen is actually the same. As long as he dares to launch a large-scale western expedition, the Ming Dynasty will dare to go to Chahanhot. Not to mention whether he will directly station troops at that time, at least he can
The fire burned Chahanhot for him, making it difficult for him to return home. And if he sent troops to Tumote, he might not be able to win, and now he has such worries, how dare he do it?
Moreover, in the past two years, Chahar has also begun to reclaim wasteland like Tumote. Compared with Jurchen ministries and private markets, Chaharhot is no longer the same as a few years ago. Once lost, the loss will be too great, Tumen
How can he give it up? He still has to save up his family wealth to cope with the Ming Dynasty's attack on him in the future."
Qia Taiji nodded and said: "What the Shutai said is indeed reasonable, but I don't know if the Ming Dynasty soldiers will really attack? I heard that the Ming Dynasty court is also short of money now."
Damn it, the imperial court is short of money and even Tumote knows about it...
Gao Pangshi secretly cursed the Ming Dynasty's financial system as a piece of shit, but he smiled calmly on his face and said: "The imperial court is going to open a vassal ban this year, and the treasury is indeed tighter than in previous years, but as long as we can really control the situation,
If we carry out a big blow, I think the court is still willing to spend money."
Qataiji is a happy person. Since Gao Pragmatic said this, out of his trust in Gao Pragmatic's always keeping his word, he believed it and nodded: "In that case, I feel relieved. I don't know what the Privy Council thought I was going to say.
What’s the second thing?”
Gao pragmatically said: "The Mongolian cavalry is not good at attacking fortresses. I guess the general doesn't want to waste his troops under the Ningxia city, right?"
Qataiji laughed and said: "As expected of Gao Shutai, no one can hide their thoughts from you. I really think that attacking Ningxia is of no use to me - unless I want to escape. However, since the Shutai knows
…”
"There is no need for General Tuotuo to go out in Ningxia. General, you should go and meet Huo Luochi for a while, and focus on the two rabbits." Gao pragmatically paused for a moment and then said: "Yiluduqi will also go, and his troops will also be led by General
You have unified command, I have already told him this."
Qataiji thought for a while and said: "Huo Luochi and the others should be arriving at Zhuanglangwei soon, right? In addition to Yilduzi and I, there must be heavy Ming troops there. I wonder if there are general soldiers among them? If so.
If so, Yilduzi and I..."
Upon hearing this, Gao pragmatic knew what Tuotuo was worried about. He stretched out his hand and pressed it softly, and said comfortingly: "General, don't worry, you and the Yilduzi Second Division are directly responsible to me and do not need to obey the local dispatch. Of course, there is a premise here. Since
We are fighting within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and I don’t want your subordinates to do anything to abuse and disturb the people."
Qataiji did not answer immediately, but asked: "What about the supplies of our army? I didn't bring many cattle and sheep with me here, and I didn't think about going as far as Zhuanglangwei. I must have been in Ilduqi."
also the same."
Gao Pingshi said: "I have already considered this matter. As long as the two armies of your army enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the various places in the Ming Dynasty will be responsible for their supplies. However, in view of the different eating habits of Han and Mongolia..."
"Don't worry about this." Qataiji stretched out his hand to interrupt and said: "We have also been growing food in the past few years. Ilduqi's subordinates and I are used to eating rice, flour and other food, at least during the war.
There will be problems.”
Gao pragmatic hadn't been interrupted while he was speaking for a long time, but since the other party was a Mongolian, he could still be a little more tolerant in terms of etiquette, so he didn't mind, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "That would be best,
What about military discipline?"
"As long as you are not hungry, I will take care of the military discipline matters, and these brats will not dare to be arrogant in front of me." Chatterjee seemed very confident when he said this, and of course he did have such prestige.
.
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, this matter is settled. In addition, I will also make it clear to the court about the military merits of the two branches of your army. I also make a guarantee here: the court will
The rewards for your army’s military exploits will be treated equally with those of our army. Well...it will be calculated according to the standards of Datong Town, your army’s headquarters. What do you think, General?”
Tuotuo smiled and said: "I have no objection to the lordship's arrogance."
Datong Town’s military merit reward standard is not the highest, because there are also servants of various generals, and they are the ones with the richest rewards, far more than ordinary soldiers. But then again, Datong Town’s standard is the standard of the Ming army after all.
It is much higher than the standards of the Mongolians themselves. For Qataiji and Ilduqi, this is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Gao Pangshi and Chaterji continued to discuss many details. When it was almost nightfall, there was suddenly a noise outside.
Chatterji listened and said: "A lot of cattle and sheep have come. It seems that Bosho Ketu's rear army has been brought."
Gao pragmatic nodded and was about to answer when he heard a messenger shouting from outside: "Report - Ningxia Deputy Chief Military Officer Xiao Ruxun has led his troops to come to the rescue and is waiting outside the camp gate to see the pivot!"
"Xiao Ruxun?" Gao Pingshi was stunned for a moment, then stood up in shock, his face changed drastically, and asked: "Isn't he in Pinglu City? Why did he come to me? Where is Pinglu City?"
How did the messenger outside the tent know this, so he could only reply: "This Deputy Rong Xiao didn't say anything, but Deputy Rong Xiao looked dusty, and he came with Boshu Ketu's rear army... Oh, so did General Tuotuo's cavalry.
Came with him."
Gao Pangshi and Chaterji looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. At the same time, a thought came to their mind: Oops, they shouldn't have a fight, right?
"Xiao Ruxun came in to ask questions!" Gao Pingshi was anxious, and his words were not very polite.
Not long after, a young and loud voice came from the door: "Xiao Ruxun, the lackey of Mu En's sect, would like to see the Lord Privy Council."
The "adults" all came out, and it was obvious that Xiao Ruxun kept his attitude very low.
But this time, Gao Pragmatic became even more nervous. He was afraid that Xiao Ruxun was so humble because he lost Pinglu City.
"Come in and talk."
Immediately outside the battle, a man walked in. He was about the same height and body shape as Gao Qingpang. He had handsome features and looked talented, but he was covered in dust and was really "travelled".
"The youngest member of Mu En's family..."
"There is no need to be polite, Deputy Rong Xiao." Gao Pingshi interrupted directly: "Why did you come here, and where is Pinglu City now?"
