Chapter 323: Civil Strife in Mongolia
At that time, Torre's eldest son MΓΆngke Khan led an army to attack the Diaoyu City in Chongqing, but the city was not captured, but he was injured by the cannon stones fired in the city, and he died of a violent illness due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.
Meng Ke died suddenly, and even so hurriedly that he did not leave an edict to determine the heir before his death, which led to a five-year civil war between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge for the throne, in which Ali Buge was defeated and died in solitary confinement, and Kublai Khan eventually became the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The victory of Kublai Khan's line lasted for hundreds of years, even if he was expelled from the Central Plains by the Ming Dynasty, he was still the Great Khan of Mongolia, but today, the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia has been transferred from the line of Kublai Khan to the line of Ali Buge, and it can only be said that the loser has a time to turn over, even if it has been a hundred years.
The controversy below continued, and suddenly the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "The kings of Ali Buge's descendants have lived in the steppe for generations, and they have a strong Mongolian tradition, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of conflict with other kings who are accustomed to the customs of the Central Plains." β
Hearing this, the military department Shangshu thought about it: "Li Shangshu is reasonable, not to mention that Su Die'er is not in the right position after all, although Mongolia does not attach much importance to this aspect, but the kings will inevitably die and the fox will be sad, if anyone can wantonly attack and kill the Great Khan, then who can guarantee that Su Die'er will not attack them, after all, they are the descendants of Kublai Khan." β
As long as there are more people, there will be intrigues, no matter what nationality is the same, although the Mongolian kings are all Genghis Khan's bloodline, but they are not harmonious with each other, and now the orthodoxy of the lineage that has lasted for more than a hundred years has suffered repeated blows, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it can be said that it has made a start, and the grassland is likely to become an era of strength rather than blood.
This is actually a kind of degradation, 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 ambitions will swell, the golden blood will lose its sacredness, and the contradictions between the tribes will be difficult to ease.
In the long run, Mongolia will be divided and return to the state it was before Genghis Khan, and the various tribes will be hostile to each other, scattered in the open steppe, and will not have the courage to sweep the world.
So what the Ming has to do is to promote this matter, and Sudieer is now uniting the ministries, hoping to be supported to become the new Mongolian Great Khan, and what the Ming has to do is to divide and let them take the initiative to give up the name of Mongolia that connects all the tribes of the steppe.
Zhu Biao sat quietly on the chair and thought quietly, Mongolia can only have the power to dominate the world if it is completely unified, just like the Soviet Union in later generations, once it collapses, it will no longer be able to become the power that dominates the world.
The discussion continued until dusk, during which news from the north continued to be transmitted, and officials from various state capitals hurriedly wrote to ask whether to mobilize grain and grass materials in case of accidents.
Such a big thing is naturally not something that can be decided in a few hours, and when everyone retreats, the father and son of the Zhu family stood up and moved.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sunset outside and asked, "Biao'er, what should you do if you sit in this position?" β
Zhu Biao didn't hesitate, he didn't say anything after listening to it all afternoon just because it was unnecessary: "Erchen thought he wanted to fight, but he could only fight one battle, and then he had to withdraw regardless of victory or defeat, and he must not be dragged in." β
Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal: "Why do you want to fight?" You should know your own background, it's not for the so-called face. β
Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head: "What kind of face do you want for the major affairs of the country, Erchen just thinks that even if we don't take the initiative to attack, Sudie'er will definitely build momentum to unite the Mongolian tribes to enter the sixteen states of Yanyun, and his position is unstable, so he must transfer the internal contradictions, and at the same time take advantage of this to rein in the neutral tribes." β
"Mongolia was beaten back by us in the end, it's only been a few years, and we are far from forgetting the hatred, there was originally a Timur of Tagus to restrain them, and now it is natural for Sudieer to take the throne to do the opposite to him, otherwise his righteousness to kill the Great Khan will be gone."
Until now, the details of the Mongolian rebellion have been passed on in detail and detail, and Sudieer and the Great Khan's personal guard commander Kuokuo Timur led the troops to surround the Golden Horde of the Great Khan, and scolded him for betraying the glory of the golden blood to the Ming Dynasty as a dog, and was not qualified to inherit the throne at all, and then led the troops into the camp and personally killed the Mongolian Great Khan with a bowstring.
There are also a lot of kings who responded later, and they have long been unwilling to shrink on the grassland, and the prosperity of the Central Plains has long made them think about it, in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty can win them, it is completely the fault of Wang Baobao and the prince of the Northern Yuan, it is they who have cut off the sixteen states of Yanyun, otherwise where would they be confined to the grassland.
There is support and there is naturally opposition, but their preparations, dead and wounded, are forced to go south, hoping to work with the Ming army to destroy the rebels, and then elect a new Mongol Khan from among them.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and frowned, in fact, it is okay to hold on, 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, but once the confrontation situation is restored, then the hard work of the past two years will be in vain, Mongolia will send troops to invade at any time, and the Ming Dynasty will have to constantly garrison troops in the north.
Zhu Biao continued: "Since Tianbaonu is still alive, then I will call on the kings of Kublai Khan's line in his name, and promise to divide all the pastures in the northern grasslands to them after exterminating the rebels. β
"After the victory, it is naturally good, my Ming still has control over the grassland, you can collect cattle, sheep and horses every year, if you don't win, it doesn't matter, there are Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in enough to maintain the Tianbao Nu side will not be completely wiped out, the grassland has been divided into two since then, the Tianbao Nu is weak and can only rely on the blessing of the Ming Dynasty in order to survive, and there is an extra layer of barrier in the north."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It's easy to fight, but what if you don't have money or food?" β
Zhu Biao also thought about it and said directly: "The people definitely don't have it, then they can only start with the rich businessmen of the family, just a few years after the troubled times, they must still have the grain they saved back then, maybe the taste is not good, but it is enough to serve as military food." β
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, in addition to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, what he hates most is the rich businessmen of the family, and he feels that both of them are unreliable, not to mention how can they give food for no reason, it is estimated that they are waiting for the drought in Shaanxi and Gansu to sell it at a high price.
Zhu Biao also knew that his father was unwilling, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't conjure up food out of thin air, if the Mongolian side didn't take advantage of the fact that the foundation of the country was not stable and suppressed in time, then the cost in the future would be much more than now, and just a large number of troops would be a terrifying consumption.
