Yang Hong's voice was old and powerful, echoing in the Qianqing Palace.
However, everyone's brows did not bloom because of this.
It is true that what Yang Hong said is the state that everyone wants to see. However, such major national affairs must be handled with caution. They cannot ignore the risks of this matter because of their own hopes.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Ao spoke first and said.
"What Yang Hou said is not unreasonable, but there are not only the Oara tribes outside the border, but also the Tatar tribe under the command of Totuo Buhua, who are also eyeing me, the Ming Dynasty."
"Indeed, in all the major battles after the Battle of Tumu, our Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses. However, in contrast, the army led by Tuotuo Buhua was basically unscathed because it retreated early."
"Furthermore, because Tuotuo Buhua took the initiative to withdraw his troops, our Ming Dynasty agreed to open trade with him. Over the past year, his strength will inevitably increase instead of decreasing."
"Don't forget, in addition to the envoys sent by the Oara this time, the activities of the Tatar ministries at the border are also an important reference for our judgment. How does Yang Hou know that this time is not the reunification of the Oara and the Tatars?"
Although he did not have Yang Hong's many years of experience in fighting on the border, Wang Ao had previously supervised military affairs in Liaodong, and later participated in the negotiations with Tuo Tuo Bu Hua together with Wang Wen.
He knew very well that the Tatar Khan was not a mediocre king, so he had to be on guard!
"Yes, although Oara and Tatar have long had old grievances, in the previous civil war, the two abandoned their old grievances and used troops together against the Ming Dynasty. However, that time, Oara was the main force and Tatar was the auxiliary. .”
At this time, Yu Shiyue also said.
"Nowadays, Oara is indeed weak, but if the Tatars want to annex Oara, it will not be easy. At this time, it is not impossible for the two to unite again to attack the Ming Dynasty."
After all, the various signs appearing on the border today are not simply due to the arrival of envoys from Oara. Tatar activities also need to be paid attention to.
One person alone may not be worthy of these ministers' massive efforts, but when the two appear at the same time, one has to suspect that they are cooperating with each other...
You know, this is how the previous civil war started.
However, at that time, they were also provoking provocations at the border first, while Tuo Tuo Bu Hua sent envoys to test the Ming Dynasty with a letter of state.
This time is just the opposite of last time. The Tatars are active on the border, and the Walas are sending envoys here. Except for the change of roles, it is almost the same as before.
However, in the face of the two people's doubts, Yang Hong shook his head and said.
"I understand what you two mean. Although Oara and Tatar want to annex each other, this does not prevent them from joining together and wanting to annex our Ming Dynasty. This is also the last civil war. We must first fight Tuotuo. The reason why we didn’t spend three armies to attack my Ming Dynasty.”
"However, the reason why I say that this war cannot be fought is precisely because the roles of Oara and Tatar have been reversed."
After hearing this, both Yu Shiyue and Wang Ao looked puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ao asked.
"Please, Marquis Yang, please explain more clearly."
"Property!"
However, this time, before Yang Hong could speak, another voice sounded.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Yu Qian speaking in a deep voice.
"Chief Assistant, Yu Cifu, what you just said has ignored one point, that is, even among the various Mongolian tribes, they still have the status of monarch and minister!"
"If Yu guessed correctly, this is what Yang Hou wants to say, right?"
Guyan
Yang Hong nodded and relaxed his brows slightly. Although he was sure of the matter, it was normal for him to feel a little nervous when faced with so many people's doubts.
Now, Yu Qian's words obviously made him more confident in his judgment.
Yang Hong raised his hand towards Yu Qian and said.
"Yu Shaobao said it right, it is the word "name"!
"As we all know, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua has been disobedient to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua for a long time. Even before the Battle of Tumu, Wala's power was so strong that he could coerce Tuo Tuo Bu Hua to cooperate with him in raising troops to attack the Ming Dynasty."
"But, have you ever thought that even though he has become so domineering, why did he still not annex the Tatars and become his own Khan?"
When asked this question, both Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue looked thoughtful.
There was no need for them to answer, Yang Hong gave the answer directly, saying.
"Because Tuotuo Buhua is a descendant of the old Yuan Dynasty and has the blood of the Golden Family flowing through him. Although the Old Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed, the Golden Family established by Genghis Khan still has a very high appeal among the grassland tribes. Because of this , Only by taking off the flowers can you become the co-owner of the grassland."
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just one of the grassland tribes. Once he takes action against Tuotuo Buhua, he will face a joint crusade from all the grassland tribes."
"Therefore, even though Wala's power is far stronger than that of Tatar, he only dared to call himself Grand Master at first and did not dare to openly compete for the throne of Khan."
After saying this, Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue understood.
It is true that they are not as familiar with things on the grassland as Yang Hong, but when it comes to things like status and etiquette, they naturally understand it very well after receiving orthodox Confucian education.
Many times, title itself cannot bind people.
Just like today's Oara and Tatar, it is a joke to say that they are limited to the so-called status and do not dare to compete for the throne.
The real reason is that although Ye Xian is strong, he is not strong enough to sweep across the grassland.
It's not that the tribes in the grassland really have any respect for the Golden Family, but when every family wants to take the throne, it is a way to maintain a balance by letting the descendants of the Golden Family who hold the title take the position.
Everyone is looking forward to the person who kills Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and starts the battle for the throne, but this person must also die the most tragic death.
Because he will be attacked by a group, after the death of this 'rebellious thief', the owner of the title will disappear, and then everyone can truly fight for it legitimately.
This kind of thing has happened many times throughout the ages.
At the end of each dynasty, the emperor was weak and the powerful ministers were domineering. However, even if those powerful ministers could depose and establish the emperor, they would not dare to take the throne casually. This is the reason.
Especially in troubled times, those who first deposed the emperor and established themselves often had to face a joint massacre by various forces under the banner of King Qin.
Yang Hong continued: "So, if you want to take a step further and become a great Khan on the grassland, there are only two ways."
"Either he and Tuotuo Buhua go to war, and he may be able to win, but after winning, he will face a joint encirclement and suppression by various ministries. If he can continue to win, then he can become the new co-owner of the grassland, but,
This road is really difficult.”
"So, I chose the second path first, which was to unite with the Tatars to attack our Ming Dynasty."
"The reason why the Golden Family can be recognized by the grassland is because Genghis Khan established a powerful empire. If he can replicate Genghis Khan's feats, then all the grassland tribes will naturally recognize him as the new 'Golden Family'."
"This is the most important reason why we launched an army against our Ming Dynasty in the first place. However, it should be noted that this reason is not valid when it comes to Tuotuo Buhua. Therefore, although the situation now seems to be similar to the situation before the Civil War.
, but in fact, the difference in strength between Wala and Tatar is the biggest difference!"
