Chapter 176: The Common Enemy (Part II)

Not long after Zhu Di and Wang Qian arrived at Wuying Palace, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly walked in.

"No need to be courteous."

Kankan stepped into the palace, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, he didn't have time to be polite with these two people, but directly took out the two-point drop table and handed it to Zhu Di: "Fourth uncle, let's take a look first." ”

Zhu Di was taken aback by Zhu Yunwen's anxious attitude, and when there was another rebellion, he hurriedly opened his eyes to take a look, and he was also taken aback.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Arutai and Mahamu were kicked in the head by a donkey?

As soon as he saw Zhu Di's state, Zhu Yunwen knew that it seemed that Zhu Di was also confused, so he looked at Wang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"What about the envoys of the two ministries?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the envoy is now resting in the post house, do you want to summon him?"

Seeing the emperor's question, Wang Qian hurriedly got up and replied.

Zhu Yunwen didn't answer, but asked again.

"What did they tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that I hope to be friends with my Ming Dynasty forever, and I am willing to be the minister of the northern land of my Ming Dynasty and herd horses for His Majesty's grassland."

So it's all nonsense?

This so-called pilgrimage is actually meaningless, and people are only nominally serving the Ming Dynasty as the monarch, and it is not attached to the people, and the symbolic meaning is only.

"Call them."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, if he didn't understand this matter, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"Wait!"

Just when a little eunuch who had received an order was about to pass on his life, Zhu Yunwen suddenly shouted.

This Wuying Hall is the main hall of the Ming Dynasty's main military, the hall can be seen everywhere is Kanyu map, and the side hall also has a huge northern sand table, which was added when Taizu remotely commanded the Northern Expedition. Zhu Yunwen, who was pacing around in the hall, saw the southwest map that he had brought back from the Xiping Marquis Mansion earlier, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his head.

"It's hard work, keep the New Year today, and go home first."

The emperor has issued an order to expel the guests?

Although Wang Qian was confused, he still got up and bowed respectfully: "I wish Your Majesty a healthy and prosperous New Year, and everything goes well, and the minister will retire." ”

Looking at this posture, it is estimated that the emperor has thought of something, and it is inconvenient to say to his small Ministry of Rites, well, he resolutely refuses to listen to it.

Zhu Yunwen really thought of a particularly important thing.

I almost forgot about the sitting tiger of the Timurid Empire.

"Fourth Uncle come and see."

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly walked to the southwest Kanyu map, and pointed to the location of Nan Tianzhu: "Does the fourth uncle know which country is north of this Nan Tianzhu?" ”

What does the Varat Tatar Offering Table have to do with the Southwest?

Zhu Di was confused, he had been in the north for many years, so he naturally didn't know much about it, and he had been fighting in Jiaozhi when he had quelled the chaos in the southwest earlier, and he didn't need a map too far.

"I don't know."

"Which country is the location of the Chagatai Khanate to the west, does the fourth uncle know? And what about the west of Warat? ”

Zhu Yunwen asked several questions excitedly, so that Zhu Di couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his eldest nephew.

"To the west of the Hami country is the Yili Jangli, that is, the Chagatai Khanate, and to the west of Warat is the Golden Horde."

Zhu Di knew the situation bordering the grassland, and replied when he saw Zhu Yunwen asking.

"To the west of the Chagatai Khanate, to the south of the Golden Horde, to the northwest of Southern Tianzhu, there is another country."

Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand and patted the blank space on the map: "Timurid Empire." ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty is talking about the Timurid Khanate." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwei was wrong, Zhu Di explained: "When the minister of this country first arrived in the northern border, he heard that its monarch Amy Timur was the son-in-law of the Chagatai Khanate, and he conspired to cause chaos and divided the Chagatai Khanate into two, namely the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the Timurid Khanate paid tribute to my Ming Dynasty for the last time, and then stopped paying tribute for three years, and the father sent a messenger to urge the tribute. ”

This time, Zhu Yunwen was stunned.

He thought that no one in Daming knew about this country at this time, but looking at Zhu Di's posture, he knew it all.

"Tell me about it."

Zhu Yunwen pulled Zhu Di to sit down hurriedly, and the left and right waiters served tea and snacks.

"The minister is just a few shallow things that make His Majesty laugh." Zhu Di thanked him and said in a deep voice: "The minister doesn't know much about this country, but he knows that since the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the expansion of this country has been very rapid, and he has defeated the two khanates of the Golden Horde and Chagatai and occupied a large amount of land.

As for the other ministers, I don't know, even if this information is still said by those Mengyuan slaves in the minister's mansion. ”

Zhu Di has won victories in battles year after year, and Zhu Yunwen knows about the fact that many princes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were slaves, since it was Zhu Di's slave who said it, the situation should be basically true.

"I've been wondering why Warat and Tatar suddenly surrendered to me, and the source should be from this Timurid Khanate."

Zhu Yunwen patted the table, and Zhu Di came to his senses.

"Your Majesty means that this Timurid Khanate is coming from west to east?"

"If this Timurid Khanate goes east, then the context of this matter will be clear."

Zhu Yunwen clasped his fists and clapped his hands, excited. "The grassland people are not just the feud of our Han people."

The glory of the golden family was fought by Genghis Khan, this Temujin was also a butcher, and he did not leave an inch of grass all the way to the west, and later died on the battlefield of the Western Xia, and the Dangxiang clan ushered in the crazy revenge of the Mongols. The sabers of the Mongols slaughtered all the way in the direction of the escape of the Dangxiang people, which can be described as a heavy blood debt.

Coupled with the fact that his grandson Kublai Khan slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Green Christians in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, it can be said that the current steppe tribes, the descendants of these Mongols, have enmity with most countries on the Eurasian continent!

Now it's the turn of these descendants to pay for the sins of their ancestors!

The theory of innocence is simply the most ridiculous thing here, and the ancestors of all countries and nations who were slaughtered during the time of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan are not innocent?

Why was Timur's crusade able to scare the Varat and Tatars like this? Because Timur is also a great butcher, coupled with the violent conflict of religious thoughts, Timur's Green Religion and the Great Mongolia of Immortality have only one result.

But as long as there is a trace of the idea that they can get along, it is impossible for Warat and Tatar to come to him in such a hurry to come to him Zhu Yunwen to surrender the table.

This is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will take this opportunity to stab their chrysanthemums in the Northern Expedition.

Once the Ming Northern Expedition occurred, where would they flee? Fleeing west will run into Timur's butcher's knife, they dare not go west, then they can only flee north, but further north of Lake Baikal, it is not a place where people live, and the cruel and cold nature will directly kill their entire clan!

"We have a common enemy with Timur, and that is the steppe."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes tightened, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Similarly, we also have a common enemy with the steppe nomads, and that is Timur. ”

The Ming Dynasty, Timur, and the steppe are three incompatible forces, and there is no such relationship between the enemy and the enemy as an ally.

In terms of strength on the bright side, the Ming Dynasty is the strongest, because the population base is here, but even so, it is impossible for the Warat Tatars to find Timur to jointly attack the Ming Dynasty, because once Timur's army crosses Chagatai, the first thing is definitely to carry out a bloody sweep of the steppe!

There is no such thing as a woman or a child in the eyes of the Greens.

Similarly, once the red-eyed green disciple entered the Ming Dynasty's Duogandusi from the Eastern Chagatai and followed the Hexi Corridor into Guanzhong, it would be impossible for him to let the Han people live.

"Transfer Sheng Ren's army to Gansu."

After thinking about it for just a few minutes, Zhu Yunwen made a decision: "And Uncle Ning's 80,000 troops are all transferred to Gansu, and they will defend the Hexi Corridor to the death, and we can't let Timur's army fight us first, let him go to the prairie to the death." ”

Zhu Yunwen will not do anything about stabbing the rear of Warat and Tatar.

Together, these two are estimated to be enough to beat Timur, and he is participating in the war, won't he play the steppe people to death all of a sudden?

Sandpipers and mussels compete with each other for fishermen's profits.

As long as you keep the Hexi Corridor and don't come to harm Daming, what kind of person does he kill outside?

Zhu Di also frowned and thought about it: "The 40,000 in Beiping is the elite trained by the ministers, plus the 80,000 athletes of King Ning, and there are almost 150,000 elite soldiers in Gansu, so there must be no problem in guarding it." There are still more than 200,000 armored soldiers in the north, and even Song Sheng's Mo Nanwei is not afraid that the Tatar Department will surrender this time, and secretly go south to knock on our border. ”

That's the benefit of having more people.

The Ming Dynasty can pull out millions of troops at any time, and due to logistics, it is true that the expedition cannot be launched, but there is no problem at all in defending the territory.

"Then arrange it like this."

Zhu Yunjiao let out a long breath and laughed heartily: "Today, our Han people have a good day on Chinese New Year's Eve, and these barbarians have given such a big gift to Shu, good!" Very good! It's a pity, this matter is very important, we have to deal with it first, I won't leave the fourth uncle to drink, let's arrange it quickly. ”

Zhu Di is not in the mood to go home for reunion now, so he got up and left with a fist.

"Spread Yang Shiqi."

Shuangxi originally wanted to persuade Zhu Yunwen to go back to the harem for dinner, but the latter suddenly spoke, but he named Yang Shiqi.

The Varat Tatar tribe's pilgrimage to the table, no matter what the purpose is, is a great joy for Daming to reach the sky at the moment, and it is also a great joy for him Zhu Yunwen!

The political value of these two letters is too high, and the prestige bonus of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, is naturally far beyond all the achievements he has made before!

Be sure to polish it well.

"With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds."
