Zhu Hengjia, who was far away in Nanjing, received Norbu's letter of sincerity, as if he had found a treasure. In the letter, Norbu sold the snowy area for everything. Not only did he surrender to Zhu Hengjia, he also asked the Ming Dynasty to set up a political envoy in the snowy area and impose a punishment.
According to the inspection and envoy division, they all command the envoy division's Yamen and take charge of all affairs in the snow region.
This actually regarded Xueyu as a province of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Hengjia was very satisfied with Norbu's respectful attitude. If everyone can imitate this person, there will be no need to worry about the uncertainty of the world!
It's a pity that Norbu's influence in the snowy areas is far less than that of Dayan Eqil and Ngawang Losang Gyatso.
However, although his strength is a little weaker, he is still a famous noble in the Snow Region, and he has sold himself to join the family, and is willing to dedicate the population and household registration of the Snow Region to the court. There is no reason not to swallow the fat meat that is delivered to his door. Zhu Hengjia decided to march into Qinghai-Tibet and completely solve the problem of Mongolia and Mongolia in the desert. I am the emperor of the ages and I have thousands of states. How can I tolerate a land that disobeys the emperor's orders?
The Snowy Region is far away from the Eastern Land, and it has been dissatisfied with Wang Hua for a long time. If you want to pacify this place, you have to use both soft and hard tactics. If you don't have some skills, you must send a ruthless person.
After thinking about it, Hu Zhigong, the governor of Xuanda, was very suitable. Ever since Sun Jinding was expelled from the capital and appointed as governor of Nuerqian, Sun's party was severely squeezed out by the Guan party. Sun's generals were impeached, and rumors about Hu Zhigong, the governor of Xuanda, were everywhere. p>
Hu Zhigong was a family friend of Sun Jinding's son-in-law Chen Zengyu, so he was naturally regarded as a Sun Party member. China has had a good tradition of beating down flying dogs since ancient times, and the officials scolded him thoroughly.
His view of Hu Zhigong and Zhu Hengjia is that they are brave, scheming, and vicious. In the Battle of Daming Mountain, he gave Chen Bang bad ideas and suffered a big loss. After surrendering, he appeased Annan and made great achievements many times. He was a
What a talent!
Emperor Guangwu was good at this. He cherished talents and was unwilling to punish Hu Zhigong. However, the voices of impeaching Hu Zhigong became louder and louder, which made him feel the pressure. Since he was unwilling to dismiss Hu Zhigong, he simply sent him to Qinghai and Tibet.
Far away, far away from the officialdom. It is not only a kind of training, but also a kind of protection. Good steel must be used on the edge of the knife!
Emperor Guangwu appointed Hu Zhigong as the governor of Qinghai and Tibet to control the Qinghai and Tibetan armies. In order to quell the dissatisfaction of the Guan party, he also appointed Tang Zhen, the general of the Guan party, as the governor of Duogan to control the Qinghai area.
Governor Si Zang.
It’s not enough to just match civil servants, you also have to match military commanders.
Well, Gansu Admiral Li Chengjue is good and can fight; the generals Peng Mingyang, Chen Bao, Hu Guozhu, and Wu Guogui are all famous for their bravery and can be used; Tianquan Sixth Recruitment Envoy Gao Jitai, deputy generals Yang Guanglie, Da Yuanzhen,
Yang Guangguo and Yang Guangyu have been in the border areas for a long time, and they are familiar with border affairs and are also involved; using Mongolia to control Mongolia is a national policy. My loyal king Wu Keshan of Laoshan Taishan and my in-law King Manzhu Xili of Shunyi can also make up the number.
With all the civil servants and military officers present, Emperor Guangwu ordered a selection of 50,000 elite soldiers, who were led by the Governor of Qinghai-Tibet, Hu Zhigong, into the snowy region.
??
"Gao Zhaobao, you have been in the border area for a long time and know the situation on the border. Tell me, which route is the best for me to enter the snowy area?"
Hu Zhigong smiled with the spring breeze blowing on his face and asked the Tianquan Sixth Band to recruit Gao Jitai. The Tianquan Sixth Band was originally a surrendered Jiarong tribe. It was right on the edge of the snowy area and was very familiar with the terrain of the snowy area.
"Governor Xian, the last general thought that we should first take the Jiarong Babu and enter the snowy area from the Rong area. This road has been the key pass into the snowy area since ancient times. In addition, Gushi Khan conquered the Jiarong Babu and the Jiarong people.
Forged a deadly feud. Danhenzhakba, the chieftain of Yutong, Jiancannanha, the chieftain of Muping, Quyishen, the chieftain of Wasi, etc., have all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. From Rong District to the snowy area, you can get Danhenzhakba
With the support of Ba and Muping chieftain Jiansan Nanha, Dajianlu is undefended against the Ming Dynasty," Gao Jitai said.
Hu Zhigong nodded. Gao Jitai's words made sense and coincided with him. Rong District is the gateway to the Snowy Region, and Dajian Lu is a military key point. It must be in his own hands and cannot be careless.
Fortunately, in the past, Gushi Khan annexed the eight tribes of Jiarong and conquered all other lands, except Dajianlu. The reason why it was not conquered was mainly due to the intervention of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Jiarong was in crisis, and Dan could not conquer it.
Chieftains such as Ba, Jiansannanha, Qu Yishen and others asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu sent the general Wang Ziqi to rescue him. After that, the Jiarong tribe near Dajianlu relied on the Ming Dynasty for survival and became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
It is convenient to enter the snowy area.
Hu Zhigong is a happy man, so he must be sure and lead his army to set off immediately.
The Ming armies in Sichuan and Shaanxi were all battle-hardened divisions, and they moved very quickly. The vanguard, Xi Ningbo, and the Gansu Admiral Li Chengjue were both powerful generals who were accustomed to fighting, and they quickly arrived at Dajianlu City.
When they heard that the heavenly soldiers from the imperial court were coming, the chieftains Danhan Zakba, Jianshen Nanha, Qu Yishen and others all killed cattle and sheep to welcome them.
Li Chengjue was not polite, accepted the supplies with a smile, and asked them to prepare supplies to welcome Hu Zhigong.
Hu Zhigong arrived at Dajianlu City, but he saw that "two rivers diverged and three mountains separated each other". The two rivers converged here, and the surrounding Guoda Mountain, Paoma Mountain and Zi'erpo surrounded the city. It was really a fortress of Xiongguan.
Ah!
This place must be controlled by my Ming Dynasty! Governor Hu is determined.
"Duke Xian, please try this lamb. It's freshly slaughtered."
"Yes, Du Xian, this highland barley wine is also a specialty of Jiarong, please try it."
Danhan Zakba, Jianshen Nanha, Qu Yishen and other chieftains held a banquet for Hu Zhigong and his generals.
"You have recruited envoys to guard the border for the imperial court. Your hard work has been great. Today, I will lend you flowers to offer to Buddha and give you a cup." Hu Zhi respectfully raised his cup to honor all the local officials.
"Thank you, Du Xian", everyone hurriedly expressed their thanks.
As soon as the wine started to drink, the feelings deepened. As soon as Danzha Zakba slapped his hands, a group of Jiarong boys and girls sang folk songs in Jiarong dialect, which seemed to be Paoma Mountain, Liu Liuyun, Sister Li's,
The Zhang family elder brother and the like sang folk songs, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to the climax.
"Alas!"
While everyone was drinking happily, Hu Zhigong suddenly sighed heavily.
"Why is Du Xian worried?" the chieftains asked hurriedly.
"You all don't know that the territory of Dayan Eqi'er is vast and the troops are strong, with two hundred thousand armor. However, the snowy terrain is dangerous and the transportation of materials is inconvenient, making it difficult to send a large army. The imperial court only gave 50,000 troops and horses. This battle
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to fight!”
"Duke Xian, the Heshuo Special Forces have invaded our Jiarong, and our Jiarong people are fighting to the death. The general is willing to send 6,000 troops to help in the battle," Yutong Tusi Dan Hezhakba shouted.
"The last general is willing to send 6,000 troops." Muping chieftain Jian joined Nanha and was not to be outdone.
In addition to the two of them, other little chieftains also gathered three thousand soldiers and horses.
Haha! These Jiarong people are quite simple, and the governor managed to gain fifteen thousand more troops without any effort! Hu Zhigong was overjoyed and quickly thanked them.
The army rested for three days in Dajianlu and then set off for Ganzi.
Hu Zhigong ordered the 15,000 native soldiers of Danhan Zakba, Jiancan Nanha, Qu Yishen and other Jiarong chieftains to be the vanguard. He led an army of 45,000 to the rear and stationed the necessary supplies in Dajianlu City.
, leaving the general Wu Guogui and the five thousand elite soldiers of the general Yang Guangyu to guard it.
Hu Zhigong summoned the two generals to give them an interview, "You two must live well and fulfill your duties."
"Don't worry, Governor Xian, we will take good care of the military rations," Wu Guogui and Yang Guangyu responded enthusiastically.
"It is not enough to take good care of military rations."
Hu Zhigong smiled sinisterly, "The main force of the Jiarong people has been transferred away. Once the army is far away from Dajianlu, you will immediately take over the city defense. This city must be in the hands of the imperial court!"
