Chapter 124: Observing Politics by Order (16)

His Royal Highness the right-wing Mongolian Dacheng Taiji seems to have a relatively limited consciousness, and his concern has not been extended to the whole of Mongolia, let alone to the well-being of the whole Mongolian people, but has been limited to worrying about the tribes under his control, or rather...... He only cares about his property.

Of course, the sensible Gao Shishu understood this deeply, and not only understood, but was also very satisfied, and explained in detail the evils of shamanism and the benevolence of Lamaism. It's just that in view of the fact that Gao Shishu's understanding of these two religions is superficial, regardless of his past or present life, and he may not even touch the skin, it is only around one center: believing in shamans will inevitably go bankrupt, and believing in Buddha can make a fortune!

Dacheng Taiji certainly knows a lot about shamanism, and he also has some understanding of Lamaism, and according to his comparative thinking, he thinks that it is difficult to say whether he can make a fortune by believing in Buddha, but it seems that believing in shamans may really go bankrupt.

Especially since the great lamas in the Ming Dynasty have calculated that there will be continuous disasters in Tumochuan in the next few years, in this case, they still believe in shamans, and they slaughter cattle and sheep at every turn to pray for immortality, but they are afraid that by the time Changshengtian responds, their cattle and sheep will have already disappeared.

Although he has now voted for Daming, he still subconsciously regards himself as a Mongolian Taiji, and can't help asking: "Is it really because the killing is too great, so the Tumochuan has frequent disasters?" ”

Gao Shishi's face was calm, and he asked with a smile: "Didn't Taiji find out that as the Great Khan sent troops more and more frequently, the disasters in Tumochuan became more and more frequent?" ”

Hannaji's face changed and he muttered, "Yes...... It seems to be true. ”

Gao pragmatic showed a "of course" expression, smiled and stopped talking.

However, the thought in his heart was: nonsense, it is precisely because of frequent disasters that your grandfather Khan has to send troops to plunder frequently. I don't understand this bit of reverse thinking, so it can be seen that people like you are suitable to stand on the cusp and take off and make due contributions to the friendship and mutual assistance and even national unity of the Han and Mongolian peoples......

In fact, Gao Pragmatic didn't know if the great lamas of the Jingshi had said that Tumochuan would continue to suffer disasters in the next few years, anyway, Han Naji didn't have the ability to verify it, so it didn't matter how he talked nonsense?

However, he is indeed not talking nonsense, and there are still certain reasons for judgment. According to his line of thought, after the end of the tribute in history, the relations between Ming and Mongolia eased significantly, the border areas were war-free for decades, and bilateral trade quickly flourished.

However, in this case, I Ta's dispatch of troops to Qinghai was still delayed until the sixth year of Wanli, which shows that there must have been something within Tumochuan that dragged me down, but there is no record in history that their internal contradictions are so big that I can't suppress them, so there is almost only one possibility: Tumochuan will still have disasters in the next few years, so that I have to stay in Fengzhou River to sit in town.

Therefore, Gao pragmatic is not afraid that this cowhide will be blown apart.

After successfully instilling the advanced idea of "harmony and wealth" in Hannaji, Gao Pragmatic beckoned, recruited the tea maid who left the king in this courtyard, and began to show Hannaji the Chinese tea ceremony to Hannaji, who has always been yearning for the Ming culture.

The delicate tea set, complicated steps, beautiful movements, and detailed explanations, as the cups of tea exuding a refreshing tea fragrance appeared in front of him, making Hannaji feel excited, and his body seemed to tremble a little, and he only felt that his taste had been greatly improved, and even his soul had been sublimated a lot.

It's a pity that these are all arranged by the tea maids of the palace, although Gao Shiyu is almost omnipotent in the minds of some of his subordinates, but after all, he is not really omnipotent, at least the tea ceremony, he is almost a layman, and the only little knowledge of the tea ceremony is learned in this life - his cheap mother Zhang was born in a wealthy family, and as a woman in this era, she doesn't have to read too many books, and she is naturally more proficient in the tea ceremony - Don't think that the ladies of the ancients were not going out of one door or another, and they just sat at home in a daze every day, that was a misunderstanding.

They still have their activities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, tea ceremony gardening, embroidery and brocade, etc., not only elegant and noble, but also are some time-consuming work, it is too easy to pass the time, not to mention that the ancients are also good at "playing cards", for example, Li Qingzhao is a leader.

Tea tasting is just a microcosm of the sugar-coated cannonballs of the high attendant, and the selfless Gao attendant even paid out of his own pocket for the first time to let Cao Gan and others arrange rich entertainment activities for Hannaji in the next period of time, and the purpose is needless to say. However, in view of his age here, "cockfighting lackeys and lackeys" is not a life he dares to pursue, so what are the activities, Gao Shiyu did not ask in detail, anyway, Cao Gan and their old rivers and lakes will naturally handle it properly.

In addition to fully showing the "beautiful life of the Ming people" to Hannaji, Gao Shiyu, who was the deputy envoy of the Qincha and a loyal friend of Dacheng Taiji, also quietly revealed to Hannaji that the imperial court would reward him generously to calm his heart. Of course, you also have to bring some high-ranking squires to read their own private goods......

It wasn't until the evening, after the guests and hosts had their own fun, that Gao Shiyu left the Daiwang Courtyard and was about to rush back to Qinchaxingyuan, but he saw Huang Mengyu and Huang Zhenshou coming in a hurry with people, his face was a little ugly, and he stopped Gao Shishi from afar.

After approaching, Gao Pragmatic asked, "Why is Huang Zhenshou so eager?" ”

Huang Mengyu waved his hand and repelled the entourage beside him to the side, looking at Cao Gan beside Gao Shishi, a little hesitant.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic understood what he meant, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, Huang Zhenshou has something to do, but please speak up." ”

When Cao Gan heard this, his waist immediately straightened up, and he looked like an officer and soldier under review.

Huang Zhenshou didn't dare to question the prince's companion who was secretly called "Xiaoge Lao" by some people in the Beijing Division, so he had to look left and right, and said in a low voice: "The news I received just now is that the Beiyu has sent troops, and more than 100,000 iron cavalry from Fengzhou Sichuan have poured out, and the troops are coming in three ways, and I have personally led the main force of about 50,000 or 60,000 horses to attack Desheng Fort, an important pass in the north of Datong!" ”

Gao Shishi's eyelids jumped, and he asked, "Who is guarding Desheng Castle over there?" What is the current strength of troops? What decision do Wang Jianchuan and Fang Jinhu have to decide? What is Ma Lanxigong's response? ”

Although Huang Zhenshou looks mediocre, it seems that he is indeed not a waste town guard who can only slap horses, and after listening to Gao Shishi's words, he immediately replied: "I know that Desheng Fort is one of the northern gateways of my Datong, and now the guard of Desheng Fort is Ma Wei, the general of Datong North East Road." This person is the son of Ma Zongrong, who was originally a naturalized Mongolian, who has been fighting with Ma Zongrong for many years, and three years ago he accumulated merit to the general, and was sponsored by Ma Zongrong to take up his current position. ”

"The strength of Desheng Fort is about more than 2,000 people, less than 3,000, but they are all old subordinates brought by Ma Zongrong for many years, according to the city to defend the city, as long as I don't go crazy, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Gao pragmatic is good at strategy, and his understanding of this kind of "ancient city defense warfare" basically comes from books that are seriously out of touch with reality such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so he didn't dare to guarantee his judgment, and subconsciously asked: "What does it mean that as long as I don't go crazy?" Can Huang Zhenshou explain it clearly? ”

Huang Mengyu explained: "Well, the slave maid means that the army of Alta is sufficient, and if you have to fill it with human lives, I'm afraid that Desheng Fort will still be a little troublesome, but I have always refused to fight such a tough battle with me, so I ......"
