Chapter 287 Prime Minister (Twenty-one) 'Encouragement'
"But what if the imperial court does not intend to give the Hetao to the Mongols anymore, but plans to raise horses in the Hetao itself?"
As soon as Gao Jingshi said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. The generals stared at Gao Yuanfu with wide eyes, seeming to suspect that they heard wrongly - Yuanfu and King Shunyi were "An Da"! They were about the same age.
Over the past thirty years, a high degree of mutual trust has been maintained, and the friendship between the two parties has even affected national policies, not only maintaining the achievements of "An Da Tribute", but even becoming increasingly fruitful.
At the beginning of the "Anda Tribute", everyone in the government and the public believed that this move was just to temporarily stabilize the powerful Tumut Mongolia. When the government solves the financial problems and builds a strong army, sooner or later these Mongols will be
All people are wiped out.
As for how Tumut views this matter, both the government and the opposition believe that it is just because of the continuous white and black disasters in recent years that they need to maintain trade with the Ming Dynasty to ensure material supplies. Once they recover, the same
He would not give up raiding southward, and would even entertain the idea of ​​restoring Mongolian rule.
However, both Gao Wenzhenggong and Yuan Fu's uncle and nephew proved one thing with facts: the tribute tribute is by no means a delaying tactic as both sides thought. It can really ensure long-term cooperation between the two parties and generate mutual trust from this long-term cooperation.
Eventually a certain stable situation will be formed at all levels including politics, economy, and military.
Therefore, later on, the Tumote tribe obeyed the court's orders many times and counted the cavalry to accompany the imperial troops to conquer Chahar and even Korean Japanese pirates. During this period, King Shunyi even sent his eldest son, Erdemutu, to his place.
An Da's disciple received the purest Chinese cultural education. At this point, the relationship between the two parties has made all onlookers think that it is absolutely intimate.
However, under such circumstances, Yuan Fu actually said today that he would take food from Tumote and take the entire Hetao occupied by the Ordos tribe for the court to raise horses. Isn't Yuan Fu afraid of King Shunyi's feelings?
I was betrayed, and something bad happened to me?
This time, even Qi Jiguang felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but said: "This move... may need to be done with caution."
"Yes, Yuan Fu." Seeing Qi Jiguang's opening, Ma Gui immediately followed up: "King Shunyi has helped the court a lot in recent years... Now the Ordos tribe has arranged for them to move westward, although they have arranged seven
Such a treasure land as the Hetao area, but the land they left behind in the Hetao area was the place they had been operating for many years. Even if they left, they must have believed that it should be left to their own Mongolian family.
Not to mention King Shunyi, the Ordos tribe's westward movement was originally a move that damaged his strength. Now that he can't even take over the territory left behind, then... Even if King Shunyi himself understands the righteousness, he may not be able to do so.
It is difficult to convince the generals under his command. The last general is worried that by that time, King Shunyi may..."
When Gao pragmatic heard this, he thought that all the generals should form a unified thought, but unexpectedly, Li Chengliang expressed different opinions at this time. Uncle Ning Yuan coughed lightly and said: "You all think that the native
Mert will certainly not be able to accept this move, and he may even worry about Tumut causing trouble, but from my point of view, there is no need to worry too much."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Li Chengliang's face.
Li Chengliang has commanded the Liaodong Army for many years. He has never seen any big scenes, so naturally he will not have any stage fright. He glanced at Gao Pragmatic calmly and said lightly: "Everyone, Totuo Qataiji has passed away. Although Tumote's strength is still there,
, but without the most powerful Mongolian general in charge, the remaining generals have enjoyed peace for many years... Under such circumstances, who in Tumote dared to stand up and compete with the invincible Nanning Hou?
Furthermore, you must not forget that the Tumut people have become accustomed to exchanging most supplies from the Ming Dynasty in the past thirty years. As far as I know, they now have complete production capabilities for even the most basic fabrics, ironware, etc.
After losing it, they have already devoted themselves to exchanging horses, livestock, lake salt, minerals, etc. with us.
Haha, speaking of it, Yuan Fu is far-sighted... In this case, why do the Tumut people question the court's decision? If they really dare to question it, I dare to say: as long as Yuan Fu gives an order, all border crossings will be cut off
If we contact them and cut off all trade with them, this winter we will be able to reduce their population by 30% from white disasters, and more than half of their livestock will be killed or injured!"
Speaking of this, Li Chengliang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sinister glare flashed in his old eyes: "And if Yuan Fu still wants to be more ruthless, then... he can contact the Nen Horqin Department and promise them Chahar
Pasture, let them take advantage of the heavy losses in Tumut this winter to sneak attack Tumut.
At the same time, our court should also gather an elite cavalry and set a time to attack Nen Horqin from both sides... By then, I am afraid that King Shunyi will become the second Jieli Khan."
Jieli Khan, the unlucky man in Li Jingxue's night attack on Dingxiang, the Khan of the Eastern Turks who subjugated the country.
Li Chengliang suddenly "explained" with examples, and all the generals were moved.
Maybe it was the connection between father and son. Li Rumei suddenly felt blessed and immediately said: "That's great. Then Yuan Fu will lead his troops north again and capture all the Tumote in one battle. From now on, I will have no rivals in the Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty! With this,
For great merit, can't Yuan Fu also be granted the title of Duke of Dai?"
Dai Guogong, this is the title Li Jing was awarded.
When Li Rumei said this, the generals suddenly felt that although Li Chengliang's words sounded a bit unkind at first, if the subsequent development is really like this... then it seems to be really acceptable.
In particular, Yuan Fu has unparalleled achievements, but he is still just a marquis. If he could be granted the title of Duke, wouldn't Yuan Fu be moved? If Yuan Fu is also moved, wouldn't it be wrong if we still express opposition?
Very unwise?
Others thought a little deeper: Li Chengliang suddenly mentioned such a solution, which was a bit baffling. After all, he had come to the capital for retirement for many years, but he had never interfered in military and political affairs. But what Li Rumei just said was even more straightforward. In fact,
The above compares Yuan Fu to Li Jing, and then points out that Li Jing has the title of "Duke of Dai"...
Yes, yes, Li Rumei is Yuan Fu's brother-in-law! Could it be that this method of disposal was Yuan Fu's intention, and was "informed" by the Li family and his son at some unknown time, and now it is up to them to speak out
...that must be the case!
"If so, I think it is feasible." Although Cao Yu is about to retire, he has always appeared as a direct descendant of high pragmatism in the army. At this moment, he can express his position without hesitation - as long as it is beneficial to Yuan Fu, we will
Lao Cao absolutely supports it.
