First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 318

  Chapter 318 Mongolian civil strife

  Back then, Torre's eldest son Mengge Khan led an army to attack Diaoyu City in Chongqing, but the city was not captured, but he was injured by the artillery stones fired in the city.

Meng Ge died suddenly, and even in such a hurry that he did not leave a will to determine the heir before his death. This led to a five-year civil war between Kublai Khan and Ali Buk for the Khan throne. In this battle for the throne, Ali Buk was defeated , was imprisoned and died, and Kublai Khan eventually became the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

The victory of Kublai Khan's family lasted for hundreds of years. Even if he was expelled from the Central Plains by Ming Dynasty, he was still the Great Khan of Mongolia. It is said that losers also have time to turn around, even after a hundred years.

The debate below was still going on, and suddenly the Minister of Rites said: "The kings descended from Ari Boke have lived in the grasslands for generations, and they have a strong Mongolian traditional atmosphere, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of conflicts with other kings who are accustomed to the customs of the Central Plains. "

The Minister of the Ministry of War heard the words and thought: "Li Shangshu's words are reasonable, not to mention that Ye Sudie'er was not in the right position after all. Although Mongolia doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, the kings will definitely be sad. If anyone can wantonly attack Kill the Great Khan, then who can guarantee that Ye Sudieer will not attack them, after all, they are the descendants of Kublai Khan."

As long as there are too many people, there will be intrigues, no matter what nationality is the same, although the Mongol kings are all Genghis Khan's blood, they are not in harmony with each other, and now the orthodox lineage that has lasted for more than a hundred years has suffered repeated blows , I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public, and Sudie'er can be said to have made a head start. In the future, the grassland may become an era that depends on strength rather than blood.

This is actually a kind of degeneration, although on the surface it seems that the strong are kings from generation to generation, but in fact, civil strife will break out in each generation, everyone's ambition will expand, the golden blood will lose its sanctity, and the conflicts between the tribes will also increase. Difficult to moderate.

  If things go on like this, Mongolia will split and return to the state before Genghis Khan. The tribes are hostile to each other and act independently, dotted across the vast grasslands, without the courage to sweep the world.

So what Daming has to do is to promote this matter, and Ye Sudieer is now uniting with various ministries, hoping to get support to become the new Mongolian Great Khan. What Daming has to do is to divide and let them voluntarily give up Mongolia, the name that connects all tribes in the grassland. Number.

  Zhu Biao sat quietly in a chair and thought about it quietly. Only when Mongolia is completely unified can it have the power to dominate the world. Just like the Soviet Union in later generations, once it collapses, it will no longer be able to become a world-leading power.

  The discussion lasted until dusk, during which news from the north was continuously transmitted, and officials from various state capitals also rushed to write letters, asking whether to mobilize food and grass materials to prevent accidents.

   Naturally, such a big matter cannot be settled within a few hours. After everyone retreated, the Zhu family and his son stood up and did some activities. The so-called plan lies in many plans, and the final decision lies in the emperor.

  Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the sunset outside and asked, "Biaoer, what should you do if you sit in this position?"

  Zhu Biao didn't hesitate. He didn't make a sound after listening to it all afternoon because it was unnecessary: ​​"I thought we would fight, but we can only fight for one battle. After that, we must withdraw regardless of victory or defeat. We must not be dragged in."

  Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal: "Why did you fight? You should know your own family background, it's not for the so-called face."

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head: "What kind of face do we have for the great affairs of the country? I just think that even if we don't take the initiative to attack, Sudieer will definitely build momentum and unite the Mongolian tribes to attack the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. His position is unstable and he must Transfer internal conflicts, and at the same time use this to gather neutral tribes."

"In the end, Mongolia was beaten back by us. It's only been a few years, and the hatred is far from forgotten. Originally, Tugusi Timur restrained them. Now that Sudieer is in power, it is natural to do the opposite of him. Otherwise, his right to kill the Great Khan will be lost."

Up to now, the details of the Mongolian rebellion have also been passed on in detail. Yesudier joined forces with the Great Khan's personal guards to lead the troops to surround the Great Khan's Golden Tent, and scolded him for abandoning the golden blood. Glory gave Daming a dog, and he was not qualified to inherit the Khan position at all. Then he led the soldiers into the camp and personally hanged the Mongolian Khan with a bowstring.

Afterwards, many kings responded, and they were unwilling to shrink back on the grassland. The prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains had long fascinated them. In their eyes, it was entirely the fault of Wang Baobao and Prince Beiyuan that Daming was able to defeat them. They ruined Yanyun Sixteen States, otherwise they would not be confined to the grassland.

   Those who have support naturally have those who oppose, but their preparations, dead and wounded, are all forced to go south, hoping to join forces with the Ming army to wipe out the rebels, and then elect a new Mongolian Khan from among them.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and frowned. In fact, it is possible to stick to it. The land of Yanyun is in hand, and the Mongolian vitality has not yet recovered. It is impossible for them to break through the defense line. It was in vain, Mongolia would send troops to harass it at any time, and Ming had to keep stationing troops in the north.

Zhu Biao went on to say: "Since Tianbaonu is still alive, then I, Daming, will call on the kings of Kublai Khan's line in his name, and promise to divide all the grazing land in the northern grasslands to them after the rebels are wiped out. There is no objection to this situation.”

"It will be good if we win in the future. My Ming Dynasty still has control over the grassland. I can collect cattle, sheep and horses every year. It doesn't matter if I don't win. The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are enough to keep the Tianbaonu side from being completely wiped out. The grasslands Since then, Tianbaonu is weak and can only rely on Daming's protection for Gouquan, and there is an extra layer of barriers in the north."

  Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "War is easy, but what if you have no money or food?"

Zhu Biao also thought about it and said directly: "The common people definitely don't have any, so they can only start with wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families. The troubled times have just ended a few years ago, and they must still have the food they saved in the past. Maybe the taste is not good, but It is enough to serve as military rations."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Apart from corrupt officials, what he hated the most were wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families. He felt that both of them were unreliable. What's more, how could they donate food for no reason? They probably waited for the drought in Shaanxi and Gansu to sell at a high price Woolen cloth.

Zhu Biao also knew that his father was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't concoct food out of thin air. If the Mongolian side didn't take advantage of Ye Sudie'er's unstable foundation and suppress it in time, it would cost far more in the future than it does now. Much more, simply adding a large number of troops to garrison is a terrifying consumption.
