Chapter 176: Common Enemy (Part II)

How could Warat and Tatar suddenly send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to offer their surrender?

If Zhu Yunwen had a deep understanding of history, there would be no such doubt.

In the fourth year of Jianwen in history, Zhu Dijing was difficult to rebel successfully, and the fourth year of rebuilding Wen was the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, this year, Timur led the army to the east, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was so frightened that he hid in Tibet and did not dare to fight, so that the first thing that the Warat and Tatar departments who got the news did was to offer a surrender to Zhu Di.

In other words, forced by the deterrent power of the lame wolf Timur, the great butcher, Zhu Di had just succeeded in rebellion, and he had not fought a foreign war, so he inexplicably 'expanded' five or six million square kilometers.

Well, this 'martial arts' Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Taizong have never been established together.

Therefore, after this matter was processed by the group of surrenderers and exaggerated, the princes and scholars of the world and the common people of Confucianism were all taken aback by Zhu Di.

The rebellious new emperor is so hanging?

Just ascended the throne, and was so frightened that all the wilderness surrendered? That's not even more powerful than Taizu.

It was also because of this incident that indirectly caused Zhu Di's throne to become as stable as Mount Tai in an instant.

Where do the orthodox factions in the provinces still dare to brush the tiger's beard, and they don't know what is happening in the outside world, they only know that the two major nomadic tribes that have been against the Ming Dynasty for decades have surrendered, and they only know that the Ming Dynasty has expanded tens of thousands of miles of land overnight!

This fame bonus made Zhu Di himself stunned, and then Zhu Laosi, who thought that he was the son of destiny, happily gave Ma Hamu and Arutai a lot of materials such as Wenqi, gold and silver, banknotes and clothes.

However, history played another big drift, and Timur had just stepped on the land of the Chagatai Khanate when he fell ill and died.

The vast Timurid Empire, like Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire, was instantly in civil strife and strife with the death of the supreme leader.

The military aristocracy in the religion became one, and no one had the heart to go to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty and unify the steppe, Warat and Tatar were afraid for several years, but they did not wait for the group of green madmen, and immediately became arrogant and turned against the Ming Dynasty, and Arutai even killed the messenger sent by the Ming to appease.

Everyone knows the rest of the matter, Zhu Di sent Qiu Fu to the Northern Expedition, and the defeat was the Yinma River, followed by the Yongle Emperor's first imperial Northern Expedition, which broke the two divisions of Arutai and Benya, and the troops arrived at the Tatar Khan's Court on the Difficult River.

Timur's Eastern Crusade was supposed to start four years after entering Jianwen, but Zhu Yunwen, a little butterfly, had wings, but it was about three or four months earlier than in history.

This history is rarely mentioned in the systematic teaching of our country, because Timur's Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty died with his death, and the soldiers did not even hit the Hami Kingdom, let alone fight with the Ming Dynasty.

In the records of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such record, and the historians of the Ming Dynasty don't know about Timur's Eastern Expedition at all, what do they remember?

This matter has to be excavated, and it will not be until the king of the Hami country, Totok, like Zhu Di, sent an envoy to surrender to the table and call the minister, and Zhu Di sealed Tokhtar as the king of Hami, and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty learned the news in the Chagatai Khanate, and then said it as an anecdote, and the official Ming did not record it into the official history.

As far as Zhu Yunwen's shallow historical background, who knows, so after he heard the report of Double Happiness, he was stunned on the spot.

After taking the two drops in Shuangxi's hand and looking at them carefully from beginning to end, Zhu Yunwen fell into deep self-doubt.

When did I, Zhu Yunwen, have such a deterrent?

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is above, and the herdsman Mahamu (Arutai) bows his head and respects.

Although there are disputes between the grassland and the Central Plains, they are always friendly neighbors, and they have been interacting continuously for thousands of years, and trade has not stopped. The battle of the ancestors, with many casualties, is actually caused by the ambition of the thugs and wolves.

Today, I offer a table of surrender to prove my innocence, and I will serve His Majesty as a saint Khan, and be the lord of the steppe for generations. The millions of herdsmen of the Warat (Tatar) Department will be the sons of His Majesty in the future, and they are willing to graze herds with the north from generation to generation, and work together to protect the Taiping in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

The herdsman Mahamu (Arutai) bowed his head again. ”

It can be seen that these two letters should have been written by Warat and Tatar with cultured people, and these two reckless men did not have the ability to write such high-level letters.

"Your Majesty."

Shuangxi reported with a happy face: "In addition to the letter, the envoys of the two barbarians also said that their departments also paid tribute to 10,000 good horses, cattle and sheep, and this time they also came to pay tribute. ”

Cattle and sheep are worthless, but they are 20,000 horses!

The two are hemorrhage, the cavalry of the border defense in the north of the Ming Dynasty is strong enough by relying on the elite armor, and they have been beating the Tatars and Warat all these years, and adding 20,000 good horses, they are not afraid of being stabbed and bleeding by the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Yunwen's brows were about to squeeze out the ink, and he couldn't figure out what kind of famous game these two were playing.

"First send someone to isolate these 20,000 horses, and see if there are other sick horses with the plague."

The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and before figuring out the true situation of these two parts, Zhu Yunwen was still cautious: "Summoning Wang Qian, oh yes, by the way, summon King Yan as well, and let them wait for me in Wuying Palace." ”

Shuangxi answered and left in a hurry with a happy face, leaving Zhu Yunwen to continue pacing back and forth in this Kunning Palace.

"It's a great thing for the barbarians to offer their surrender and surrender to the courtesy."

Seeing this, Ma Enhui, who didn't know what to do, approached and said softly: "Your Majesty is mighty, and he is an unborn male lord and saint, so it's no wonder that these barbarians are all fearful. ”

The more relaxed and joyful Ma Enhui was, the more Zhu Yunwen felt bottomless.

Look at this honorific title that this steppe man sent to him Zhu Yunwen, Sage Khan!

Back then, Tang Taizong Li Shimin's honorific title was Tian Khan, and now the honorific title given to Zhu Yunwen by the grassland is no worse than him Li Er.

With this alone, Zhu Yunwen's reputation in history in the future will already be on par with Tang Taizong, plus other trivial achievements, among the Ming Emperors in this history, he Zhu Yunwen is enough to rank in the top three.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

Zhu Yunwen shouted: "Come on, quickly change clothes with me." ”

As soon as the order was given, four or five palace maids surrounded him with imperial costumes, and they changed Zhu Yunwen's clothes that had been soiled by cooking before.

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to be done, since it is a good thing, why doesn't Your Majesty know what the New Year is dealing with, and you can also tell the hundred officials of the court by the way?"

Seeing her husband's posture, Ma Enhui persuaded her, but was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen waving her hand.

"It's a big deal, I don't understand the reason, where can I still be in the mood to eat?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly took steps: "Don't wait for me at night, you eat first, if it's late, I will sleep in the Qianqing Palace and not come to the harem." ”

The voice fell, and the whole person had already left this Kunning Palace with dozens of his little followers.

"Alas, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, we have to eat it ourselves."

Ma Enhui shook his head and sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has always attached great importance to state affairs in his heart, and I am afraid that when it is dealt with, it will be late at night." ”

And Zhu Di, who was summoned, also hurriedly put down his wine glass, threw down his children and grandchildren, and went to the palace with a solemn expression.

It will be a great event to keep the New Year's call urgently.
