Chapter Eight Combined Vertically and Horizontally
Zhu Shou understood that there was nothing wrong with Wang Shouren's analysis and it hit the nail on the head.**
Although he has never studied history, based on the various information sent by Chen Jing, he can clearly see the situation in the Western Regions at that time. The competition between the Green Sect and Buddhism has reached its most critical moment.
The two powerful Western Regions of the Green Religion: the Samarkand Khanate that ruled the Transoxiana region of Central Asia, and the Safavid Dynasty on the Iranian Plateau were both newly established. Shaybani, the hero of troubled times, and Ismaili I, the genius boy, each entered their most prosperous period.
During the period, a huge and unparalleled force was established to confront Central Asia.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. A life-and-death battle will soon take place between Tabriz and Samarkand. The scale is far greater than Zhu Shou's conquest of the Turpan Khanate.
Babur, a generation of genius lurking in Kabul, Afghanistan, has been waiting for his opportunity. According to official history, he will establish the famous Mughal Dynasty of India on the body of Shaibani, the hero of the troubled times, in a few months.
As long as there is a battle between the heroes of troubled times and the genius boy, the situation in Hezhong will stabilize. Countless green believers will follow the footsteps of their ancestors and pour into the Hexi Corridor from various countries in the Western Regions to fight with the Buddhists.
A showdown between males and females.
And what are the Buddhists in the Hexi Corridor doing now?
To the north is Parsopolo, King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty given by Zhu Shou. However, if given the opportunity, King Shunyi would not mind being unfaithful again. There are still many stories that have to be told between him and Zhu Shou.
To the south, there are various small khanates that are torn apart, including Mongols, Uighurs, and some ethnic groups whose names Zhu Shou can't even remember. These small countries are sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Uzang, struggling to survive.
.
Those who have strength want to become the "Khan of the entire Mongolia"; those who don't have strength, think about how to survive every day. If the green believers come over, relying solely on the meager strength of the Ming Dynasty in Hexi will not be enough. By then
, Hexi, Ningxia, Xining and other places are in danger of being greened.
This is a situation that Zhu Shou never wants to see. It's not because he discriminates against green believers. Otakus have no concept of religious discrimination. It's just that green believers are a combination of politics and religion, and Zhu Shou doesn't want to be called a certain bastard.
The emperor sounds much better than the magic stick.
There wasn't much time left for Zhu Shou. This was Wang Shouren's focus.
Between righteousness and interests, for the success of the Western Expedition, the emperor must choose interests. Only in this way can he have time to destroy the Turpan Khanate. He can resist countless green believers and secure the front line for the Han Dynasty to enter the Western Regions.
As for the emperor after giving up his righteousness?
Wang Shouren smiled in his heart. The young man in front of him was still too immature. He could easily dig a trap and he would have to step in. ()
Joining the army? What the hell is joining the army? Wang Shouren, who did not want to be a jester, despised this so-called military position from the bottom of his heart.
But facts have proven that Saint Wang is not omnipotent. And joining the army is not omnipotent.
A soldier who joined the army spoke slowly in a very obscene voice: "The general, no, the guilty minister, uh, the young one. I don't agree with killing Baiya."
This man was very old, about six or seventy years old. His eyes were wandering, and his originally tall and majestic body was almost bent into a hunchback. His powerful facial features were wrinkled, with only two big nostrils exposed, and
His face was covered with a messy beard. Zhu Shou couldn't help but smile when he saw it. This man was none other than the remnant of Liu Jin's eunuch party, the Commander-in-Chief of Shenyingshen.
A few months ago, the Divine Governor was still a well-known northwest general, with the generals of the Shen family inside and the support of Boss Liu outside, and at that time, he was still Jingyang Bo.
It is a pity that as soon as Boss Liu died, the Earl of Shenying was dismissed by the elders at the suggestion, leaving only the empty post of right governor.
Uncle God’s lesson is for future generations: Never follow the wrong boss or stand in the wrong team.
If you don’t look at his status as a eunuch, but only look at his ability, Old Man Shen is still very good. His ability to command cavalry is unmatched by anyone in the Ming Dynasty. His son Shen Zhou, in his prime, is also a fierce general on horseback.
.
Zhu Shou's original intention of establishing the Fifth Army was that he thought he didn't know how to fight at all, but it didn't matter. Who called him an emperor? He quickly found a few professionals to help him.
With the aim of not wanting fame but strength, Wang Shouren and Shenying were the first to be selected after being recommended by the eunuch leaders. One proved himself to be the best at defending the city in the Ming Dynasty with the battle of Yingzhou, and the other with countless achievements
Prove that he is the best person in Ming Dynasty who is good at field combat.
He can attack or defend. Zhu Shou is very satisfied with his choice, but these are not enough. War is a major matter of the country. Qiu Yue, who is best at sneak attacks, Liu Wen, who is most daring to fight to the death, and Wei Zhang, who is best at transporting heavy equipment, were also captured by him.
Come and join the army.
Zhu Shou didn't know that except for Cao Xiong, an old farmer who was implicated in stepping down, Zhang Jun who was recuperating at home, Feng Zhen who was doing soy sauce in the Western Expedition, and Yang Rui and Cui Wen, who had not yet become famous, his army lineup was
, half of the top ten famous generals in official history of the Zhengde Dynasty have been gathered.
The old man who was lucky enough to survive the catastrophe had not regarded himself as the number one general in the northwest for a long time. He had been sitting farthest away from the emperor, but his eyes were fixed on the emperor's subtle movements, and when he saw Zhu Shou's hesitation
When he was undecided, he understood that his opportunity had come!
"Ai Qing, come quickly!"
Zhu Shou was unwilling to bow to Saint Wang, nor was he willing to kill Baiyaji, but the situation forced him to do it, so when he heard that there were different opinions, he was so excited that he even pulled out the play.
"The guilty minister has been to Turpan before," Shenying clenched her fists, seized this rare opportunity, and said in a deep voice, "These Mongolian species are not monolithic!"
There is actually a big problem with what he said. If a general goes to a foreign country, what else can he do besides private trade? Although this situation is a secret known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty, if there is an impeachment by a civilian official present, Zhu Shou cannot cover it up.
he.
However, those present, except for joining the army, were the eunuch bosses. Zhu Shou did not have the bad taste of bringing civil servant bosses around to cause trouble. And the joining army, except Wang Shouren, were all military generals and nobles. Their own butts were not clean, so how could they dare to impeach?
God old man?
"I second the proposal." Qiu Yue and Shenying have a close relationship. Both of them have been involved in the three sides and know Mongolia very well. Naturally, they know what Shenying wants to say.
"It's not difficult for you to kill Mansu'er!" Shenying said slowly, "He has a brother, Said, who is currently in the Fergana area of the Western Region. If the Holy Spirit grants him great justice, he can do anything west of Turpan.
It's decided in one fell swoop! And to the north of Mansu'er, there is Shaibani, a great hero of the generation. The Holy Emperor might as well send an envoy to the Samarkand Khanate and make an appointment with them to take Turpan together. After that, the two sides will use Liucheng as the boundary.
, divide East Turpan equally!"
The implicit meaning of Shenying's words was nothing more than an attempt to kill people with a borrowed knife, to lure Said and Shaibani into Turpan and make them kill each other. The Ming Dynasty wanted to profit from this.
When Wang Shouren heard this, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch. There is no doubt that this is a wonderful move. It stands at a higher historical level than Wang Shouren's Buddha Green Controversy, and is more practical.
Said, the so-called invincible Xiaoqiang, is a legendary figure in the Western Regions.
He is the son of Ahima and the biological brother of Mansuer. This unlucky guy was thrown on the battlefield after his father was defeated by Shaibani, and was finally sent to the prison of Shaibani. Not long after, he escaped
After escaping from the clutches of Shaibani, unfortunately, before I could embrace the motherland, I heard that my father Ahemah had passed away.
The grief-stricken Said was chased here and there by his brothers, so he had no choice but to seek refuge with his nephew Babur.
It stands to reason that he followed Babur. No matter what, he could also be a founding king in the Mughal Empire. It's a pity that this unlucky guy actually hooked up with his old gay friend Mahamu Khan again.
Then, without further ado, without any accident, they were defeated by Shaibani again!
Mahamu was executed, and Said had to escape to the river and become a turtle, but unfortunately he was imprisoned. At this time, Shaibani decided to kill all the Eastern Chagatai people!
From this moment on, Said's fate began to improve. He met a conscientious official, escaped from prison, and returned to his nephew Babur.
"I will never leave again!" He said to his nephew affectionately, imitating Zhou Xingxing's expression in "Journey to the West", "From now on, God will let me help you build a new Timur Empire!"
After Timur's empire was destroyed by Shaibani, Babur was bent on restoring the glory of his ancestors. He didn't care about his uncle's return. What he valued was his uncle's little use value in the Turpan Khanate.
According to the intelligence collected by Chen Jing, Babur and the talented young man Ismail I have been hooked up for a long time, and the war to destroy the country between the two powers is about to begin.
If Ming Dynasty showed goodwill to Shaibani at this time, at least Ming Dynasty would have enough time and manpower to wipe out the Turpan Khanate before the war of annihilation between the young man and the hero ended.
The old man's plan was an upright and upright combination of vertical and horizontal, with style and magnanimity, which defeated Wang Shouren's plan by dozens of avenues.
"This plan is very good," Xuancheng Boweizhang, who had been silent without Wang Shouren's judgment, finally spoke, "the total number of soldiers of the three governors of Hami is only more than 15,000; the total number of soldiers of Turpan is only 50,000."
A man who can fight. His weapons and morale are not as good as those of the Celestial Empire. The only thing he can rely on is the geographical advantage of thousands of miles of yellow sand. If the Samarkand Khanate and Nasaid can be attracted to help, the battle will be 90% sure.
!”
Wei Zhang was a descendant of Wei Qing, the famous Jingnan general, and a die-hard loyalist of Zhu Laosi's family, so Zhu Shou had no reason to doubt his words.
Wang Shouren's words were a bit strange, and Old Man Shen's words were a bit utilitarian. Although Zhu Shou thought they were both reasonable, he still refused to make a decision. It was not until he heard Count Wei's speech that he laughed heartily and said: "Chen Jing, send an effective eunuch.
He went to the Samarkand Khanate and Fergana to proclaim the decree. In addition, he named Said the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, and Xian Kebola was the King of Liucheng. He also wrote that Huxian was the general manager of Hami, and Baidili was the deputy of Hami.
Manager."
Zhu Shou's political skills have been improving recently. A few free posts have forced Man Su'er into a dead end.
Standing on top of the behemoth of the Ming Empire, the homely emperor began to slowly reveal his fangs.
Note 1: Wei Qing of the Ming Dynasty was not the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. He shined brilliantly in the Battle of Jingnan and the battle to destroy Sai'er of the Tang Dynasty. His son Wei Ying was named Xuancheng Bo and Wei Zhang because of the coup.
He is the son of Wei Ying, and Wei Tao is Wei Ying's grandson. Volume 175 of Ming History says "it was passed down to Sun Tao". Therefore, the information on Wikipedia is wrong. (To be continued.
