A few days later, Commander Qi Jiguang, who had always been calm and composed, stood in front of Gao pragmatically with an awkward expression, explaining to him the unexpectedness and helplessness of all this. Gao pragmatically could only sigh after hearing this, and his head was as big as a bucket for a while, but he still asked Qi Shuai
Sit down and talk slowly.
After listening to Qi Jiguang's description, Gao Pragmatic couldn't be said to be angry. After all, the other party was Zhong Jinhatun, with a very special status. With Qi Jiguang's identity, it was difficult to refuse her request at the time, and it was difficult to regret it after learning the truth.
In fact, let alone Qi Jiguang, Gao Xiang asked himself, even if he was in the situation at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to find a way to refuse without causing serious consequences.
Now trouble has come. The Butashri people have arrived in Yanqing Prefecture, and they have also brought gifts and personal letters from Zhongjin Hatun. Can I refuse? Obviously not.
It is easy to say no, but the problems it may cause are unpredictable. Originally, with Chahar's flight to the west and the Transkarkha tribe actually being handed over to the hands of Erdemutu, the balance of power in the Mongolian grassland has been seriously changed.
, at this time it is best to help Han Naji and his son stabilize the situation, and turn the new situation into normalcy, which is most in line with Daming's needs.
This need is an overall need, that is, not only to maintain a pro-Ming Tumote, but also requires them to be able to concentrate a relatively strong force to a certain extent to deal with the threats in the west, and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition in the near future.
Restore and expand Ming's power in the Western Regions, regain control of the Silk Road, and determine Ming's absolute land power advantage in East Asian geopolitics.
However, judging from Zhongjin Hatun's actions, I am afraid that everyone has underestimated this famous third lady in original history. The political acumen of the third lady is far beyond previous imagination, and she is not only aware that the situation has undergone major changes
The reality is that it is very possible that he has seen through Gao Pragmatic's idea of "strengthening the centralization of power of Hannji and his son" in Gao Pragmatic's vision, so he took the initiative to seek changes.
As for why he went to Gao Jingjing instead of the court or the emperor, it was of course because Zhongjin Hatun knew very well that almost all decisions made by the Ming Dynasty in all matters involving Mongolia relied on Gao Jingjing's decision-making. In this case,
So what's the point of looking for the court and the emperor? In the end, don't you still have to go back to Gao Jingshi?
Only by eliminating middlemen from making price differences can profit margins be guaranteed. Even Mongolians, who are not known for their commerce, understand this truth.
But now the difficult question comes to Gao Pragmatic. The first point is: what will Zhongjin Hatun do if he doesn't agree?
This question is difficult to answer. Although Zhongjin Hatun, as a member of the rulers and with so many years of experience, should be very rational in nature, Gao Pragmatic feels that it is not necessarily safe.
Because, judging from the performance in the original history, Zhongjin Hatun's reason often appears at the "last second", and before she feels that the end of the road is over, she actually has a very strong gambler character, which is really very dangerous.
.
In the original history, because there was no high pragmatic intervention, Anda Khan's eldest son Xin'ai Huang Taiji successfully succeeded to the throne. In the eleventh year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty named Xin'ai Dulong Khan the King of Shunyi, and a king-conferring ceremony was held in May.
Shortly after he attacked and granted the title of Queen Shunyi, a large-scale war broke out among thousands of households in Tumote, also known as the "Battle of Dabansheng".
The Battle of Dabansheng has a profound background. Originally, during the Longqing period, the direct inducement for Anda Khan to pay tribute was the surrender of Han Naji to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty always thought of his "first" contribution. Therefore
In the fifth year of Longqing's reign, the Ming Dynasty awarded Han Naji the rank of commander, which was the highest rank after Ada Khan himself, second only to Kundulun Khan and Xin'ai Huang Taiji, who were all members of the Karaqin family.
.
After returning Han Naji to Tumut Wanhu, Anda Khan returned the custody of the Bansheng tribe and the Western Shalejin tribe to Han Naji and let him take direct command. However, on the 11th day of Wanli period,
In April of that year, Hannaji fell off his horse and died while hunting. His wife Dachengbiji took possession of his tribe according to traditional customs, and these tribes immediately became the coveted objects of other tribal lords.
At this time, it was Sanniangzi who was the first to provoke internal strife. Sanniangzi and Altan Khan had three sons: Butashri, Shachixing, and Yierjiangxun, who were also the three youngest sons of Anda Khan.
Since before they were born, Anda Khan had already enfeoffed his tribe to six brothers including Xin Ai, Huang Taiji, etc., the three Butashri brothers failed to get the enfeoffed tribes. This is obviously inconsistent with Anada Khan's treatment of them.
The favor and political status of Sanniangzi are not commensurate with each other, so Sanniangzi always seeks to obtain direct subordinate tribes for them. Therefore, the death of Han Naji provides an excellent opportunity for Sanniangzi to realize her intention, and Hannaji's legacy is
The public naturally became her target.
"In September of that year, the third lady saw Dacheng Biji supporting the tribes and Bansheng left by Anda. She was very powerful. She wanted to do something that would be disrespectful to him (that is, the translation of Butashri). She thought it would be beneficial to her.
There was a political rift between Taiji and Sanniangzi, so she could not follow her. Sanniangzi urgently asked the chief to pull the cloth, Tu Guchi, Ji Long and others to lead 2,000 elite soldiers to surround Dabansheng. Hui Mo [twilight] was unable to fight. Qia Tai
Ji and Mangu stayed in the house for a day, so they organized the army like pulling cloth. They wore armor and fought in Bansheng. They killed more than eighty barbarians including pulling cloth, and killed twenty people. The wounded were dead.
"At the end of the day, we captured thirty pieces of armor and more than a hundred camels and horses. We also killed the Qatai Jiyi people Ba'er Guda and five other people. We have killed six of them and injured them equally."
In short, starting from September of this year, the battle of Dabansheng began. Sanniangzi and Qataiji each fought on one side, and the two sides fought evenly.
The outbreak of the "Battle of Dabansheng" caused quite a shock among tens of thousands of households in Tumut and even Ordos: "Therefore, tigers who are harmful and careless will go away, but Duoluo Tu
Manmai Ligen, Ao'er Dusi cuts off all the Huangtai auspicious things, is there any meaning?"
This record says that due to the influence of the Battle of Dabansheng, the tribes harmed by tigers were so serious that Bayote and other tribal leaders led their people to stay away, while Meligan Taiji and Ordos Wanhu of the Duolun Tumed tribe
Kutuk Taiqie and Huang Taiji paid close attention to this and tried to play some role in it.
At that time, most of the leaders of the tribes of Tumut's ten thousand households actually sympathized with or supported Qataiji's side. However, Qataiji had only more than 2,000 elite members of the original Anta Khan Court, which was far less than what Sanniangzi received. The rest of the herdsmen in the tribe were definitely
Not as good as the elite of the Khan Court.
Therefore, in order to support Çataiji to persist in his struggle against Sanniangzi, Mailigantaji provided material assistance to Çataiji. In November of that year, Çataiji took the opportunity to plunder more than 100 of Sanniangzi's fine horses.
At this time, Zhu Taiji came forward to coordinate and negotiate peace between the two parties, and made a three-part agreement, stipulating that neither party was allowed to kill people or drive horses. If they broke the contract, Zhu Taiji would both be punished. However, Sanniangzi did not take the agreement seriously and sent someone to Zhubansheng to copy it.
The plundering of livestock attracted Dacheng Biji and his crowd to rush to Bansheng's aid.
At this time, not only was the unity and stability of the Tumut households severely threatened, but there was also a situation where the tribesmen were "exhausted from the military" and full of complaints. Even Sanniangzi's own camp had differences of opinion, but Sanniangzi still
He insisted on going his own way and actively prepared for war. He would not give up until he captured Chataiji.
But at the same time, besides Sanniangzi, there was also Zalik who was spying on the Dacheng Biji tribe. At that time, he was second only to Xin Ai Dulong Khan and Sanniangzi among the thousands of Tumut households.
When Sanniangzi wanted to take in Han Naji's remnant, Zhalik saw that his father Xin'aidulong Khan was old and sick, and most of the government orders came from Sanniang. If Sanniang sat back and watched, Hannaji's remnant would
If they are taken under Butashri's account, then there will be a group within Tumote that is superior to itself in terms of political status and population, headed by Sanniangzi, Butashri's mother and son, which is important for
Zalik is obviously a huge threat to become the lord of thousands of Tumut households and to seize the title of King Shunyi in the future.
From Zalik's point of view, the key to solving the problem is to bring the people like Dacheng Biji under his command. Therefore, the remaining people of Han Naji have also become the goal that Zalik is determined to win.
In May of the twelfth year of Wanli, when Sanniangzi and Qataiji were at loggerheads, Zalik was also involved in the battle of Dabansheng. At that time, he heard that Sanniangzi had sent someone to deliver gifts to Dachengbiji.
After hearing the news, they discussed countermeasures with Qia Taiji and decided that Qia Taiji would accompany Chali Ke to the Dacheng Biji camp behind Daqing Mountain to marry Dacheng Biji.
Sanniangzi's actions were discovered by Sanniangzi's subordinates. After receiving the news, Sanniangzi realized that Zalik was also involved in the fight and had taken the lead. So Sanniangzi did not hesitate and immediately sent troops to the back mountain. When they arrived at the back mountain,
It was learned that Zalike had already joined forces with Dacheng Biji on May 11th, and the Western Sentinels commanded by Dacheng Biji had fallen under Zalike's command. Therefore, although the battle of Dabansheng came to an end, Sanniangzi and Zalike
There is a serious contradiction between them.
Let’s not mention the funeral for the moment. From this period of history, we can actually see that although Sanniangzi was submissive to the Ming Dynasty, she was extremely tough internally and dared to strike hard at any time. She even even fought against the Ming Dynasty.
She dared to fight against Ji, who was recognized as the most powerful general in Mongolia, and relied on the strength of the elites of the Khan Court to always maintain an attacking posture.
Such a woman, whether she simply loves her son or has a strong desire for power by nature, makes Gao Pragmatic find it quite difficult.
Touching her? It's obviously inappropriate. She is a thorough pro-Ming sect, so what's the point of touching her properly? All Mongolians may feel frightened and uneasy because of this - the Ming Dynasty even has to deal with such a thorough pro-Ming sect leader, then
What is your attitude towards other people? Naturally, you can live and kill as you please. This is likely to cause a right-wing chaos, and even Ordos will not be spared, let alone the newly acquired Transkarkha.
What's more, with Sanniangzi's character, if Daming really shows signs of attacking her, who knows if she will fight back? Attacking Daming may be impossible, after all, she should be very afraid of Daming now.
However, Guihua City has always been in her hands as Anda's inheritance, and Han Naji is still her current husband. If she pretends not to know, she will wait until Han Naji returns to Guihua City.
, what kind of tricks will be used to "deal with" Han Naji? How will this matter end?
From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, the first step was to quickly confer Erdemutu as the new King of Shunyi. However, the problem was that Tumote's ruling structure had not changed, and the foundation of his rule was still the alliance of the "elite elites of the Western Post Khan Court". Changes
In other words, no matter how Han Naji was killed, Erdemutu had to continue to form an alliance with Sanniangzi if he wanted to secure his position.
So in this way, if Ming Dynasty did not want to see Tumut's internal divisions and rule out the possibility of sending troops to quell the rebellion, it could only go back and persuade Erdemutu to marry his stepmother Sanniangzi to maintain political stability.
This is so fucked... Gao Pragmatic feels like his head hurts just thinking about it.
Qi Jiguang obviously also knew the reason. When he saw Gao Pragmatic, a talented Wang Zuo who always had the pearls of wisdom, he frowned deeply and thought hard without saying a word for a long time. He couldn't help but advise: "Jingtai, I will not be fooled by this battle."
, I, the Ming Dynasty, have already shocked Mongolia. Even if what I do is not in line with Mrs. Zhongshun’s wishes, it is expected that she may not dare to act rashly..."
"This is the truth, but you can't rely on luck when it comes to major national affairs unless you have to." Gao Pragmatic sighed, suddenly thinking of Japan, and added: "Small countries may often have to do it because of their strength, but big countries are not like that.
If you can use a majestic formation, you can't stick to surprise troops; if you can think of a perfect strategy, you can't think of luck. Qi Shuai is a great military strategist, and he should be the most familiar with the truth."
Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and said: "But how can we solve the current difficulties?"
"Is it currently..." Gao Pragmatic pondered: "I think the difficulty seems to lie in the present, but in fact it lies in the future. Therefore, if we want to solve the current difficulty, we must focus on a few years later."
Gao Pragmatic's words were purely based on political considerations, so Qi Jiguang rarely failed to follow his train of thought and said in shock: "Jiguang is stupid, please give me a clear explanation."
Gao Pragmatic did not show off, and explained: "The reason why Mrs. Zhongshun did this was not for herself, but actually for her son. She and Anda had three sons, and none of the three sons were enfeoffed. Although Mrs. Zhongshun had Anda's inheritance,
Several, but there are only two core parts among them: one is the elite of the Khan Court that I originally answered. After more than ten years, these people still suffered some losses during the period, and now they do not exceed 20,000..."
"Less than 20,000, probably only around 14,000 to 15,000." Qi Jiguang added.
"Okay, let's count it as fifteen thousand." Gao Pragmatic continued, "This is the trump card of force in her hand. Besides this, the most important thing is Guihua City. This city is also called Guihua City among the Mongolians.
Sanniangzi City (naturalized as Hohhot in later generations, also known as Sanniangzi City) was not only the core of Tumut rule, the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, but also the most populous city.
According to Jinghua's information, except for the blacksmith shop and weapons industry, which are not as good as Daban Shengcheng, the other industries in this city may have surpassed Daban Shengcheng, Han Naji's hometown. The population has also surpassed Daban Shengcheng due to the advantage of the capital, and is said to have reached ten
There are tens of thousands of people, which should be very rare in Mongolian history."
That must be rare. After all, the Mongolians were purely nomadic in the past and had no interest in cities. During the Yuan Dynasty, although several cities were built in southern Mon and northern Mon, the permanent population in the city was very small - ordinary people
If you want to live a life of herding, what will you eat in the city? The Mongols do not have a nuclear-powered money printing machine.
When Gao Pragmatic said this, Qi Jiguang followed his train of thought and said, "What Jingtai means is that although its military force is elite, its total strength is insufficient, and its economy is too concentrated, so it is difficult to satisfy the three sons?"
"Yes, this is the internal reason why Sanniang is eager to change now." Gao Jingshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "But there is a paradox here, that is, if the inheritance she leaves to her three sons in the future is too rich, it may turn out to be too rich.
Come and threaten Erdemutu's rule.
If we, the Ming Dynasty, want to solve this problem, we must find a magic solution, that is, we must respect and satisfy a mother's desire to protect her son, and at the same time ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty's Jin Kingdom regime and military power."
Qi Jiguang frowned: "This... seems difficult." It seems that these two premises are fundamentally contradictory, so it is naturally difficult.
However, Gao Pragmatic laughed and said: "It may be difficult, but now I have some new ideas."
