Qi Jiguang asked "Will King Shunyi agree?" But in fact, all the generals knew that this matter was not just a question of whether King Shunyi would agree or not? Even to a certain extent, King Shunyi might be the easiest to persuade.
However, Qi Jiguang had some words that he couldn't express clearly at the moment.
King Shunyi, this is the Ming Dynasty's title of "Chechen Khan" to Tumut. In fact, he still calls himself Khan within Mongolia. And Gao's pragmatic plan is bound to affect some things within Tatar Mongolia, so
That is the main contradiction.
What's going on?
On the Tatar-Mongolian side, status is often directly linked to strength, and the "positions" that symbolize status still have a certain value. This will lead to a trouble: Tumut's Chechen Khan was not originally the "Mongol Khan"
, but the "Western Khan" after Tatar and Mongolia were divided into east and west. However, the position of "Jinong" of the leader of the Ordos tribe was theoretically "Deputy Khan of Mongolia".
In other words, in the internal power organization of Tatar-Mongolia, the status ranking was originally like this: the Mongol Khan was the largest, followed by Jinong, and then the Eastern and Western Khans.
So why does it seem a bit confusing? It's because the previous Tumen Khan was both the "Mongol Khan" and the "Eastern Khan" - that is, the Great Khan of the Chahar tribe. The Jinong of the Ordos tribe should have been the Great Khan of the Mongolia
The deputy's nominal status is actually higher than that of the "Western Khan" - that is, the "Great Khan of the Tumote Department". Therefore, Tumote's status in the Mongolian power structure is actually lower than that of Ordos.
However, because Anda Khan was really good at that time, Tumote began to absorb the Han people who fled north, and gradually transformed into a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural system. Its strength soon surpassed the Jinong headquarters in Ordos, resulting in the difference in strength and status between the two sides.
dislocation.
After a period of time, especially after a series of marriages between the two parties, the Ordos tribe recognized the reality and actually joined Anda Khan - as evidenced by the fact that Qie Jin and others have stayed with Anda to serve.
This change in strength has continued to this day, especially after the Ming Dynasty completed the "Ida Tribute", Tumut's strength made the Ordos tribe no longer even have the idea of catching up. When Hannaji became the new Chechen Khan and
After King Shunyi, the status of "Gao Taishi Anda" allowed Tumote to continue to complement the economy of the Ming Dynasty. Its strength not only crushed the Ordos tribe, but was even stronger than Chahar, the headquarters of the Mongolian Khan. The Ordos tribe was completely
Became Tumut's follower.
A large part of the reason why Boshu Ketu jumped out to help Kuaibai was that he hoped to strengthen himself and improve his prestige through this matter, so that "Jinong" would no longer surrender to the "Western Khan" - it is a pity that
He is doomed.
Now that the fundamental issue has been clarified, it’s time to talk about the current situation.
According to Gao's pragmatic plan, the Ordos tribe will move westward as a whole to the Qihe area, forming a hierarchical structure in which "the Han army will take the Ili River Valley as the center of rule" and "the Ordos Mongolia will use the Qihe area as the periphery of the Han army."
Although the most elite Ili River Valley was controlled by the Han army of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the Ili River Valley is important is that it is convenient for growing food. This is what the Han army of the Ming Dynasty and the Han military households who will inevitably migrate there are good at.
Even if this treasure land is handed over to the Ordos tribe, they will most likely only use it for grazing, which is a waste of natural resources. However, the proportion of this land in the entire Qihe region is not high, and it is no more than one-fifth in size at most.
The remaining four-fifths of the Seven Rivers area is actually a geomantic treasure land—one of the two best areas in Central Asia. Well, the other one is the Fergana Basin, which we will talk about later.
The Han army of the Ming Dynasty was stationed in the Ili Valley, and the periphery was the best grassland in Central Asia, which was occupied by the ally and subordinate Ordos tribe. Now that the two armies were combined into one, not only did they have food, but they could also rely on the inland for weapons, and an immediate formation was formed
It has created a situation that is both offensive and defensive, and can completely rely on the Qihe area to radiate and dominate the surrounding Central Asian grasslands for thousands of miles!
But here comes the question raised by Qi Jiguang: What is Han Naji’s attitude towards the Ordos tribe’s westward migration?
If it is a positive attitude, it means that Hannaji attaches great importance to the name. As long as this comes true, Tumed Chechen Khan will become the highest-status person in Eastern Mongolia, not only in terms of strength, but also in name - "Mongolia
The "Great Khan and Eastern Khan" was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and then "Jinong" chased him, so wouldn't he be the biggest Khan in Mongolia?
This is not impossible. After all, in Mongolia, the name is really useful - if you are not from the Golden Family, even if you are stronger than you, you will only dare to be a Grand Master, and the position of Great Khan cannot be arbitrarily occupied.
.
On the other hand, if all your followers are gone and only one bloodline of the "Golden Family" is left, it doesn't matter. As long as you climb up and shout, there will naturally be people following you to help you risk your life. It can only be said that Genghis Khan is
The god of the Mongols, as long as he can raise his flag, he is not afraid of stirring up trouble in Mongolia.
Now, although Han Naji is strong, the status of "Jinong" in the Ordos Department is always a time bomb. Don't think that it can be ignored just because of its strength. Just make a hypothesis: Suppose that one day, there is civil strife in the Tumote Department.
, two factions competed for the position of Chechen Khan, but both sides were similar in strength, and neither could do anything to the other. At this moment, Jinong suddenly stood up to support one of them, and this person was basically considered stable.
Next, whether the two sides join forces to subdue the other person, or simply join forces to attack the other person, there is a high probability that Jinong will become bigger in the end and surpass Chechen Khan again. Some people may ask: Does the Ming Dynasty not care?
Yes, as long as Ming Dynasty does not govern in a pragmatic and pragmatic manner, there is a high probability that Ming Dynasty will really not care. Because Ming Dynasty's consistent position in this situation is actually - you fight first, and I will confer whoever wins.
Therefore, moving the Jinong headquarters thousands of miles westward to the Qihe area can also be regarded as a bomb disposal for Tumote, which is beneficial.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, everything has two sides. Since one side is beneficial, the other side must be harmful. Where is the harm? The harm is caused by the soil in Ordos.
Tumut's de facto followers, their strength is led by Tumut. Therefore, the Ordos tribe's westward movement will still break Tumut's arm in terms of strength, which will greatly damage Tumut's strength.
The situation is now clear: at best, Ordos moved westward to dismantle a time bomb for Tumut; at worst, Ordos moved westward and chopped off Tumut's arm on the spot. Now, let's look at Hannaji
How did you choose?
Of course, in other words, it depends on how Gao pragmatism can persuade Hannaji.
After Qi Jiguang asked this question, Gao Pingshi did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around at the generals and said with a smile: "How do you think the court should persuade King Shunyi?"
Yes, the ball was kicked back.
However, everyone does not think that Yuan Fu has no plan. This is completely inconsistent with Yuan Fu's usual style. He should be just asking for a test. In other words, whoever answers correctly will definitely be looked down upon by Yuan Fu.
.
It is definitely a good thing to be highly regarded by Yuan Fu, especially now. Why do you say that? Because "Ili Town" will obviously be powerful in the future. It will be the only town in the country and its status is extremely important. However, it is a planned new military town, and it is still
Only exists on paper.
This means that before the formal establishment of Yili Town, whoever gets the best impression in Yuan Fu's mind will have the best chance to preside over this powerful town in the future - even if it is not said to preside, at least it will get a share of the pie.
Families with generals often have many children. It is very rare for Liu Jiajun to have only one person in his generation, so the "Ili Town" proposed by Gao Yuanfu is undoubtedly very attractive to them. No one wants to miss out on their family.
Not to mention Ma Gui, who was born in Xuanda University, even Li Chengliang and Li Rumei were moved.
Yili Town needs to set up an A-type army! Instead of having a commander for the family, wouldn’t it be nice to have a commander (a town)? That’s 12,000 elites!
You know, now that you have three thousand elite servants under your command, you are enough to qualify as a general soldier! Although the establishment of Type A Army is obviously very large, the minimum standard for the general soldier after this military reform is probably to be one-town control, but
No matter what, who would not want to add another commander to the family?
Therefore, as soon as the high pragmatic question came out, all the generals immediately started thinking, everyone hoped to grab the jackpot.
However, this issue may be that those who have been defending Tumut for a long time have an advantage. Ma Gui finally seized the opportunity to speak first: "For the Mongols, the most important things are nothing more than three things: tribes, cattle and sheep, and pasture.
"
Seeing that everyone, including Gao Jingshi, was paying attention, Ma Gui stood up and talked: "My tribe, there is no way. The Ordos tribe will definitely take away all the tribesmen it can take away, and will not leave any tribesmen behind."
To King Shunyi - even if he were to stay, he would definitely be an old man with poor behavior and would be of no use.
The same goes for cattle and sheep. Everything that can be taken away will be taken away, and it is difficult to leave anything to King Shunyi. Then, the only benefit King Shunyi can get from this matter is probably the pasture. If the court can seal the Hetao to Shunyi
King, I think King Shunyi will consider it."
Gao pragmatic asked deliberately: "The Ordos tribe was originally ordered by King Shunyi. They moved westward. King Shunyi directly sent people to take over the Hetao grassland. Does it matter to him whether the court can seal it or not?"
Ma Gui shook his head and said: "Yuan Fu is joking. In terms of the current situation, if the court does not grant him a title, then even if he takes the Loop, he will still be unjust, and he will even have to worry about the court becoming suspicious of him... The general will think
, According to King Shunyi’s usual behavior, he will not do this despite the suspicion of the court.”
"It seems that Commander Ma has a good understanding of King Shunyi, and I am very pleased." Gao pragmatically affirmed at first, but then asked something that shocked everyone: "But what if the imperial court does not intend to give up the Hetao anymore?"
Give it to the Mongols, but plan to raise horses yourself in Hetao?"
