Although Gao Gong already had great power when I paid tribute, he did not control the sky with one hand. In fact, at that period, the entire Shi School was only a small political group in the Ming Dynasty official circles, and it was far from being able to control the court.
At that time, the Bureau and Real School relied heavily on Gao Gong's own status. It should be said that it was only an upper-level faction and its foundation among middle- and low-level officials was relatively weak.
This leads to a big problem, that is, even if top-level political decisions have been issued, they will be offset by intentional or unintentional confrontations at the implementation level, or at least they will be overt and covert, and will be delayed until there is no follow-up.
Of course, the Practical School is also aware of these situations, but due to limited power, it can only focus on some key matters, follow up on major issues, and supervise the implementation. However, it is inevitable for other things that have less significant impact, or that are not so direct.
Turning a blind eye is what is called "grabbing the big and letting go the small."
There is no doubt that the tribute itself is a major event, and the two most critical elements in this major event are the "truce" and the "tribute market." The main forces of the Practical School at that time were focused on protecting these two, so for the relative
The less important issue of "Shunyi King's Seal" will inevitably not be taken into consideration.
As a result, the Shunyi Royal Seal was tampered with by some officials who were opposed to Anda's tribute. In other words, the legal specification of the Shunyi Royal Seal itself was indeed a gold-plated silver seal, but it was actually made
The gold-plated copper seal was indeed damaged intentionally.
It is difficult for any reform to satisfy everyone, and the rise of any political group does not happen overnight. This is an objective reality. Although the Real School at that time could effectively influence Emperor Longqing and allow him to successfully approve the casting of the seal, the process of casting the seal
But he couldn't control it, so it's not clear what he ended up creating.
As for the problem that Tumote later discovered and caused a commotion, of course the Practical School was aware of it. However, it is not necessarily easy to solve it if it is clear - if it were honestly admitted, wouldn't it expose the internal problems of Ming Dynasty itself?
, and the practical school’s lack of control over government affairs?
This influence was obviously very bad. Without being able to truly fully control the government, even though Gao Gong was already Gu Ming's chief minister at that time, he did not want to do anything unnecessary, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb based on the principle that more things are worse than less things.
Fortunately, at that time, Tumote had been kidnapped by the Ming Dynasty's economy, and the military also found that the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more tough. After getting Zheng Luo's "explanation", they could only take the fake ones as real, and swallowed their anger and did not continue to make trouble.
.
This delay has lasted for more than ten years. Now that Chahar has been destroyed, Tumut has become the best-performing part of the Mongols. In addition, Han Naji believes that his contribution this time is not small.
He should be able to use a seal worthy of his status to demonstrate his political achievements, so he found a high pragmatism - that's the whole thing.
There is a question here: does it really matter what material King Shunyi’s royal seal is made of? The answer is yes, it is really important.
The King's Seal of Shunyi is a symbol of the power of King Shunyi, so whether the King's Seal is important is essentially based on whether the throne is important.
Is the throne of King Shunyi important? Extremely important! Because "King Shunyi" has the most important power for right-wing Mongolia: the right to decide on tribute cities.
Here is a brief review of the tribute process and the power system of King Shunyi that Gao Pingshi worked hard at that time: In March of the fifth year of Longqing, Emperor Mu Zonglongqing officially issued an edict to confer Anda Khan as King of Shunyi, and rewarded him with "Red Five-color Silk"
"As soon as you wear the python robe, you will be able to adopt the Duan Ba exterior and interior". After that, I was granted the command of the capital by my brother Anda Khan, and Huang Taiji was appointed as the governor's co-president. Bin Tu Taiji and other sixty-one leaders were granted command, and thousands of households and other officials.
"Everyone has an edict."
After some preparations, on May 21st, the canonization ceremony of King Shunyi was officially held at the horse-drying platform outside the Desheng Fort in Datong. Anda Khan gathered his subordinates and a huge crowd went to attend.
The situation at that time was: "A factory was built nine miles outside the Victory Fort. The factory director could be three feet wide. He used wire poles and wood, fifty pieces of blue silk for the hall, twenty pieces of red cloth, twenty pieces of three shuttles of green cashmere, and handkerchiefs and sweat towels.
It is forty square meters, with fifty mats, one hundred hemp ropes, four colorful pavilions, and twenty pairs of colorful flags. There is a yellow curtain in the courtyard and incense is burned.
The capital first sent the barbarian envoys to beat the Han, and the Han people went to the government office to practice the rituals. After that, they went to the tent factory with great fanfare. The capital ordered the capital to be prosperous and granted the fort, and moved the deputy commander Zhao Boxun to the guerrilla Kang Lun. He also issued twelve edicts and gave me answers.
Once dressed in a python robe, one looks pure on the outside and inside, as if they were dressed like a lion.
On the 21st, I led the barbarians to welcome the edict, and four people kowtowed to the south. After that, the Han officials copied the yellow and opened the reading. After finishing, I responded and performed a ceremony of thanks, and took off their hats and kowtowed to four people. The barbarians took off their hats and kowtowed as a sign of respect.
also."
As a result, Anda Khan was officially canonized as King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty. This canonization further consolidated the status of the lord of the Tumote tribe as the right-wing leader.
After the canonization ceremony, the eager King Ada Khan of Shunyi immediately presided over the tribute and market affairs. He sent Ji Neng of the Ordos Department and his nephew Qeji Huang Taiji, who were familiar with the Buddhist scriptures of the Han Dynasty, to write a memorial. Later, together with the old commander, they loved Huang Taiji.
, presented Hannaji and others with tributes and horses.
"Fifty-nine tribute horses, thirty horses, a pair of silver-plated autumn bridles and saddles, and sixty-four people including the barbarian envoys to pull the cloth, and the Polo Busha tablecloth paid homage to the ancients. The text is changed to refer to Buddha
The language is very respectful, but still lacking in writing.
Chonggu means that the Han Dynasty envoys sent the foreign envoys to Taiwan to verify the records, correct the lists, etc., and send them to the box for sealing and inspection. Because they had a banquet for the barbarian envoys, they went to Yanghe City Residence. Forty horses of green, white, red, yellow, silver, and dates were selected, and the coat color was issued.
, Teeth year old, the Council of Ministers selected thirty horses to enter. Four hundred and sixty-nine tribute horses were sent to the three horses." (Note: From "The Biography of An Da")
The Ming Dynasty rewarded the price of the horses, rewarded Anda Khan and others and the barbarian envoys with clothing, silk and satin, cloth coins, etc., and gave Anda Khan an imperial edict. From then on, Anda Khan presided over Monan as the king of Shunyi.
Tribute exchange matters between the Mongolian right wing and the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of "Ada Tribute", the Ming Dynasty granted Anda Khan the title of king and a seal in order to "use his power to bind all the tribes" and gave him the power to take charge of the tribute and mutual trade. This power is very remarkable because it stipulates
King Shunyi was responsible for writing tributes from the three tribes of Xuanda and Hetao; all rewards were received by King Shunyi, and then forwarded to the heads of each tribe; the promotion of the heads of each tribe was also reported by King Shunyi during the tribute period, and then the Ming court
Deal with it as appropriate; for every tribute to the city, King Shunyi must first pay tribute, and then the court will allow the market to open.
In addition, according to the Ming-Mongolian agreement, King Shunyi formulated his own relevant laws. Mongolian tribesmen who violated the tribute market were punished by King Shunyi in accordance with Mongolian law.
In this way, on the one hand, King Shunyi had the power to trade tribute with the Ming Dynasty. Having the royal title and seal meant that King Shunyi had complete control over the power of paying tribute.
In the original history, "in order to control the power of market rewards", the reason why Tumut fiercely competed for the right to inherit the throne of Shunyi was because of this - the economic base determines the superstructure, and the power of tribute and city is actually the economic foundation of Tumut.
Ah, who can not be jealous?
On the other hand, as the Mongolian person in charge and moderator of the tribute city affairs, whether King Shunyi can successfully inherit the throne is directly related to the maintenance of the relationship between Ming and Mongolia and the peace of Gong City and the stability of the Ming Dynasty's border defense. In order to ensure his own interests, regardless of the original
Both the Ming Dynasty in history and the Ming Dynasty in this world actively exerted influence on the succession of King Shunyi, and even directly intervened.
For example, the outbreak of the Battle of Monan was actually caused by Gao Jingshi's forcible intervention in Si Feng. To be honest, at that time, the battle was won, so everything was easy to say. If the battle had been lost at that time, Gao Jingshi would have
The person directly responsible may have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
Now, with the Chahar tribe fleeing to the west, the situation in the Mongolian grasslands has undergone tremendous changes. Tumote has actually become the most powerful force in Mongolia. At this moment, Han Naji hopes to strengthen the legitimacy of King Shunyi
, which is obviously a reasonable thing.
Gao pragmatic not only agreed to Han Naji's request, but also informed him to quickly go south and go straight to the border. Although this incident happened suddenly, Gao pragmatic's decision was not only quick, but also had several layers of considerations.
The first consideration is that today is different from the past. The situation that Gao Gong was worried about more than ten years ago has changed. Although the Practical School still cannot cover the sky with one hand, the power of the entire faction is far stronger than it was then, not only in terms of political ecology.
The roots are deeper, allies are stronger, and relationships are stronger than before.
At this time, Gao Pragmatic, as the de facto party leader of the Practical School, had the courage to lift the lid that had been covered up in the past and gave Han Naji justice.
The second consideration is that Gao Pragmatic suddenly decided to take this opportunity to let Han Naji accompany him to Beijing, because he found that this was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Although the "Golden Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty" is nominally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it has actually always had a very high degree of autonomy from the founding of the country to being granted the title of King of Shunyi, and now to taking Han Naji to power.
There is no explicit stipulation, but in fact it is regarded as an external vassal, not an internal vassal.
If Han Naji can be brought to Beijing to receive the reward, on the one hand, it will further change the relationship between the two parties and make the "Ming Dynasty Jin Kingdom" more like an internal vassal state, and on the other hand, it can strengthen the achievements of this conquest of the Yuan Dynasty - you
Look, I not only solved Chahar, but also almost completely surrendered Tumut. This means that the Ming Dynasty can declare to the whole world: From now on, the entire Tatar and Mongolia will be my territory of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, Gao pragmatically has a third additional consideration, that is, if Hannaji leaves Helin and goes south, Helin will be handed over to Erdemutu. Gao pragmatically does not want Erdemutu to engage in any conspiracy, but
This is to allow him to take the opportunity to exercise his abilities, and at the same time, he can also raise his hopes.
There is a difference between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's prince's status is as stable as Mount Tai thanks to the system, while the Mongolians are not so stable in this regard. To a certain extent, their system is the continuation of customs, and this is only one aspect, the other is
On the other hand, it also depends on personal strength. In addition to inheriting his father's legacy, part of this strength is his own prestige.
Erdemutu had stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time due to his apprenticeship with Gao Jingjing in the past few years, and his connection with Tumut's hometown had weakened a bit. Although the direct lineage of Hannaji, the "Western Post" during the Anda Khan period, was
"Because he has been close to Ming Dynasty for a long time, he is quite supportive of Erdemutu, but Erdemutu still needs to have his own direct lineage.
The princes of the Ming Dynasty have no direct military lineage at all, so the most trusted person after they ascend the throne is the lecturer who once served as their teacher. Mongolia is much more direct than this. "Huang Taiji" not only has direct lineage, but also must be
Yes, otherwise if something happened to Dahan, it would be hard to say whether Huang Taiji would be able to ascend to the throne.
The two most direct examples are there one after another: Did Xinai Huang Taiji have a direct lineage back then? Did the Buyan Huang Taiji not long ago have a direct lineage?
In the same way, of course, Erdemutu, the prince of Shunyi, must also have direct descendants, and Gao Wuzhen now wants to make Outer Khalkha the direct descendant of Erdemutu. Gao Wuzhi knows that it will not be possible to change Hannaji
Reject this proposal.
First, after Abadai Saiyin Khan led his troops to flee west in Outer Khalkha, the remaining scattered tribes were not strong enough to pose a threat to him;
Secondly, Huang Taiji originally required direct lineage, which was in line with Mongolian customs, and the allocation of Outer Khalkha to Erdemutu actually strengthened the power of the Great Khan - Erdemutu was his eldest son.
A family that is directly related by blood.
After the death of Toktok Chataiji, because none of his sons could carry the cauldron, the three-legged separation within Tumote gradually changed. With Hannaji relying on King Shunyi, the orthodox status of Chechen Khan was under control
They had an advantage in the process, and now the royal power is gradually strengthening. Although Zhongjin Hatun has the elite of the old Khan court left by Anda Khan, it is also becoming increasingly weak.
At this moment, if Gao Pragmatic wants to play a balance game, what he should do is actually strengthen Jongjin Hatun's power to ensure that he can check and balance Hannaji.
However, Gao Pragmatic believes that the situation has changed significantly at this stage. With the victory of the Battle of Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's military power has been enough to frighten the world. In addition, Han Naji was a thorough pro-Ming faction, and his son
Demutu even knew the horror of Beijing. As long as the father and son were still alive, it was impossible for them to waver in joining the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, after Chahar fled to the West, Tumote also needed to put more power in the west of the territory to help defend the Ming Dynasty. This required a powerful general Han Naji - after all, his direct lineage was Tumote Xi.
Sentence. Therefore, it is the practical need of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen the control of Hannaji.
As for the tilt of Tumut's power to the west, it will make Ming Dynasty's northern frontier safer. This can be regarded as a collateral benefit. It doesn't matter if it is not there, it would be better if it is.
With so many benefits, Gao Pingshi continued to stay in Yanqing Prefecture to wait for Han Naji to go south. Of course, such a major event would have to be reported to the court and asked for the emperor's approval. Especially to move Han Naji to the south.
How many people Naji can bring to Beijing is even more important, and the court must discuss it quickly and come up with a result.
At this time, Gao Pingshi didn't know that Qi Jiguang would actually be tricked by Zhong Jinhatun and bring him a completely unexpected hot potato.
