Chapter Eighty-Six: Chaos in the Northwest

Zhu Qizhen didn't ask in detail after all.

There are some things that you can't ask.

Although in Zhu Qizhen's view, Jiang Gui has the posture of a famous general, but with the posture of a famous general, he must be extremely innocent.

Maybe when Jiang Gui was working outside, he touched the slightest. But his children in his hometown must be innocent?

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty, and even the commanders of the ground guards, thousands of households, and other guards officers, one counts as one, and none of them are clean.

It's just because of this that Zhu Qizhen doesn't know how to start with the military system of the guard.

This is what really wants to shake the foundation of the country.

Zhu Qizhen changed the topic and asked, "Is the general clear about the war in the northwest?" ”

Jiang Gui said: "The minister has already understood that Adai Khan cannot be attached. Want to die and struggle. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "When you arrive in the northwest, what are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Gui said calmly: "The minister will go to the northwest, first rectify the guards, and then go out of the fortress to defeat Adai Khan." ”

During this period of time, Zhu Qizhen also collected intelligence from all sides and gained a new understanding of the war in the northwest.

Adai Khan himself was a relative of Korqin.

But he still has a territory of his own, which has to explain one thing, that is, the special state of Mongolia after retreating into the steppe.

The Mongols in the steppe, although they still call themselves the imperial court, have degenerated to their original tribal state, so almost every Mongol Great Khan has two khanates.

A Khan court is in Helin.

Helin is the capital of Mongolia before entering the Central Plains, and it is also the capital of the northern province of the Mongolian Ridge, and it is also the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

However, Emperor Yuan Hui was defeated by the Ming army, and the grassland was ownerless, and several great khans were replaced on the grassland from the end of Hongwu to the Yongle period.

These Great Khans all have one characteristic.

It is that it has a territory and has the blood of the Golden Family. Even after entering the Horin, they also established the Khan court in their original territory.

This is the Mongol Twin Khan Court. It also shows that the Northern Yuan can no longer be called a complete regime.

Even the Ming Dynasty followed this and tried to make contact with the various forces of the Northern Yuan separately and avoid contact with the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan. However, this state of affairs changed with the decline of the power of the Mongol Great Khan and the rise of Siva Thorn and Eastern Arutai.

Although Adai Khan was supported by Arutai, he did not have much power.

Therefore, he was slain by the thorns of the tile in Arutai. Adai Khan then broke free from the control of the Tatar tribe and fled to the northwest.

Adai Khan fled to his own territory, and did not even dare to stay in the original territory, and then went south to the border of the Ming Dynasty, wanting to belong to the Ming Dynasty and become a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just this one thing, Zhu Qizhen is an afterthought, and the Empress Dowager Gayin has suppressed it.

It's not that the Empress Dowager is not allowed.

It's just that the Empress Dowager and Zhu Qizhen were in conflict at that time. The Empress Dowager was trying to dispel Zhu Qizhen's vain thoughts, so such news was naturally suppressed.

However, the Empress Dowager is not willful. She pressed the matter down, not to ignore it, and the contact with Adai Khan was still ongoing.

This matter was the responsibility of the government at that time. The central committee is presided over by Yang Rong.

Since the Empress Dowager had no intention of intervening in the grassland dispute, she naturally did not regard Adai Khan as a strange commodity. Instead, he treated Adai Khan as a problem.

Even the Tile Thorn knew, and the Tile Thorn did not dare to act rashly.

The messenger of the tile spur was in the imperial court, and it was a demonstration, and it was also a request for peace. It is not necessarily Adai Khan who knows it.

The Empress Dowager is trying to spur the thorns. After all, Adai Khan went south to defect to his own dynasty, and he could not hand over Adai Khan to Waspur, so who of the Mongols would come to defect to the court.

It's just that the conditions between Adai Khan and the imperial court can't be discussed.

Adai Khan himself, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, wants to become a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and is a barrier for the Ming Dynasty outside the Saiwai, and can even be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

But the Empress Dowager is much more pragmatic.

This kind of foreign domain, the Ming Dynasty has not been canonized, and Wuliang Ha Sanwei is the foreign domain canonized during the Hongwu period. It's just that they are on the grassland this morning, at both ends of the end, and no longer listen to the words of the court.

Emperor Xuanzong fought Wuliang Ha Sanwei.

Now, what's the use of canonizing another foreign domain?

What loyalty do you expect from the Mongols? How foolish.

Of course, it is not that there are no Mongols who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, that is, Mongolian Tatar officials, even during the Chongzhen period, the Mangui general who died in battle was from a Mongolian background.

Therefore, the meaning of the empress dowager is to let Adai Khan enter the court, and the marquis or duke can be discussed, and the soldiers under his command also have their own rewards, which are added to the guards along the border.

As a result, both sides cannot get along.

The envoys of each other kept coming and going, and in the end, the Empress Dowager felt that she was dragging Adai Khan.

Anyway, the person who is in a hurry now is not the imperial court.

It's just this delay, but something happened, first, the situation of Adai Khan is becoming more and more embarrassing, and second, he also peeks through the reality of the imperial guard.

Is it a contradictory motivation, or something else. Anyway, Adai Khan is a dozen. found that the original Ming court was nothing more than that.

Since there are things that can be obtained with sword soldiers, Adai Khan will not talk to Da Ming.

From beginning to end, Adai Khan did not think about the intention of truly submitting to the imperial court. It was just a last resort, but now he found another way.

That was the victory itself, and as long as he led his Mongols to victory, they would be loyal to Adai Khan, who decided to grab a big fight in the northwest and then retreat back to the steppe. With such a victory, the hearts of the people are rallied, and the scattered people are gathered, and maybe they can even compete with the tile thorns.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen was not angry at hiding him from the Empress Dowager.

After all, Zhu Qizhen is very clear about his positioning, although he is called the emperor, he is actually just a prince. The real master of the Ming Dynasty is Cining Palace.

Zhu Qizhen is very sensible, without the permission of the Empress Dowager, it is impossible for him to cross the line.

Even if he knew about this matter, I am afraid that there was no way to change the situation, but what he was really angry about was, what was the situation of the Northwest Guard?

How many people are there in Adai Khan?

Zhu Qizhen actually carefully calculated Adai Khan, how many people are under Adai Khan, even if Zhu Qizhen counts more miles, Adai Khan's department will not exceed 10,000 horsemen.

The reason is simple, there is a limit to manpower on the grassland.

On the Mongolian steppe, there are all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, as well as the limitation of productivity, so how many people are there in the Mongolian steppe with their manpower limit? Zhu Qizhen didn't know, but there has always been a definition since ancient times, the Huns should be a county in China, and this definition changes with the grassland of the Great King Banner. But the most basic thing has not changed.

If Adai Khan had tens of thousands of horsemen, he would be able to wrestle with the tile, you know, Emperor Taizong defeated the battle of Hulan and sudden loss of temperature in the tile.

The opponent is only 30,000 horsemen at the core of the Spurs.

Even if the tile spur has made great progress than before, the people and horses of the tile spur headquarters will definitely not have 100,000 horses. A large number of peripheral men and horses are only hundreds of thousands of horses, and Adai Khan has 30,000 horses, which can neutralize many Mongols.

Adai Khan rode up to several thousand. But just this little bit of people can make Adai Khan dare to defy the Ming Dynasty's Northwest Guard.

Is Adai Khan an unborn hero, who dares to defeat the strong with the weak and challenge the Ming Dynasty, or is the Ming Northwest Guard so rotten that it can't be said, but after seeing it, Adai Khan thinks they can sweep the northwest?

The most ironic question is not how arrogant Adai Khan is, but that Adai Khan is so arrogant, but he just succeeds, and the situation behind this makes Zhu Qizhen shudder.

In such a situation, Zhu Qizhen is not sure, so he naturally does not disagree with Jiang Gui's strategy of rectifying the guard post first, and then going out to fight.

Zhu Qizhen and Jiang Gui didn't have a deep talk, and after talking for half an hour, they arranged for Jiang Gui to go down.

It's just that after Jiang Gui left, the depression in Zhu Qizhen's heart still didn't dissipate. He suddenly decided on one thing and said to Wang Zhen: "I want to go to Cining Palace." ”

Wang Zhen immediately said: "The slave and maid will arrange it." ”

Since the grandfather and grandson released their previous suspicions, Zhu Qizhen's frequency of running to Cining Palace has increased again. Wang Zhen had already prepared, and after a while, he would be able to go out.
