Chapter 583: Break with Lin Dan Khan
Sun Chengzong knew what Zhu Youxiao was going to do as soon as he heard it, but he also knew that this was indeed more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
He smiled and said, "Your Majesty can leave this matter to the minister." ”
Zhu Youxiao was stunned.
It's not that he doesn't believe Sun Chengzong. You must know that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are very talented in this regard. How many years did the ancestor play with these things? It's completely proficient, but you can't play it when you don't have the strength.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has such strength, it is easy for them to play such a trick. It's just that Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Sun Chengzong to take the initiative to take this business next.
After all, it's not so easy to operate in this matter, and if there is a slight omission, it is easy to be caught, not to mention that it may attract criticism if the matter is done well.
This is a thankless task for many courtiers, especially high-ranking ministers.
You must know that these ministers, who have been ministers for many years, have reached high positions and are about to start slacking off, and they strive to be innocent and do not seek merit. In such a situation, they are also reluctant to take risks.
Zhu Youxiao is actually ready to change a group of old ministers. The group of people who just came up are more young and energetic than these old ministers.
For example, Zhu Youxiao is ready to be replaced by Xiong Tingbi. This time, when he left, he would take Xiong Tingbi with him, and after arriving in the capital, he would be the secretary of the military department, and I believe that there will be a lot of new weather coming out.
Moreover, in the future, the Ming Dynasty had more foreign wars, and he had to further strengthen his control over the military department.
At the same time, Daming is going to usher in military reform next, and it also needs a person with courage and responsibility to preside, and Xiong Tingbi is a more suitable person.
And Sun Chengzong's willingness to accept this matter at this time really didn't make Zhu Youxiao expect.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong and nodded with a smile and said, "If Master Sun is willing to follow, it will naturally be the best thing." That way, I will be able to take a break. ”
"Leave the matter to the minister, Your Majesty can rest assured." Sun Chengzong hurriedly said.
Zhu Youxiao also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then Master Sun will do it." ”
After speaking, Zhu Youxiao walked behind him with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was also very relaxed.
Then you just have to wait quietly. No, there is one more thing to do, and that is to meet the famous Hai Lanzhu.
After Sun Chengzong left Zhu Youxiao's residence, he returned directly to his residence and ordered someone to find Hasar.
For Hasar and the others, Sun Chengzong's desire to see them is just a matter of one sentence.
Hasar never thought that Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty would actually see him in person. The teacher of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a pivotal position in the Ming Dynasty.
After getting the news, Hasar immediately came to Sun Chengzong's mansion with a generous gift.
For them in Ordos, the past two years have been very good, and they have made a lot of money. Although their tribe is small, the pasture is not bad, and the cashmere produced is relatively good, and they have made a lot of money by selling wool in the past two years.
In such a situation, Ordos is already very eye-catching, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty and Huang Taiji, maybe it would be swallowed up.
On the grasslands, good pastures and livestock are wealth. Ordos is like a big piece of fat meat, placed on everyone's mouth, and no one wants to go up and take a bite. This is true of Korqin, Nekhalkha, and even Lin Dan Khan. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Ordos to think about it.
This time Huang Taiji is finished, and this land will be the final say of the Ming Dynasty in the future. And how friendly the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is to Horqin, everyone can see that this time he not only wants to marry Wu Keshan's sister, but even marry two as soon as he marries.
In this way, I am afraid that the small life here in Ordos will not be easy.
If Korqin and Nekharkha fight, then it will definitely be their own small tribes that will be killed first.
Before Korqin and Nekhalkha fight, they will first encroach on the surrounding small tribes, firstly to increase their strength, and secondly, to prevent them from taking refuge in each other; What's more, it also prevents small clans from growing when they lose both sides.
This time, it was a small tribe like Ordos who was very nervous. Based on this situation, Ordos also proposed the concept of a small tribal alliance.
Everyone united to resist the big tribes, and they were equal to each other, helping each other, supporting each other, and acting together when there was a war.
Sure enough, in the face of an external threat, all the small clans agreed to the alliance, and they were very enthusiastic.
But Hassal knew that this was only a superficial thing. Once the war starts, it is not certain whether you are stabbed in the back or not. Such an alliance is simply too loose to make much practical sense. When the time comes, the big tribe will pull it together, and maybe they will surrender directly.
It's just that Hassal knows that the Ming Dynasty should be concerned about the small tribal alliance. As long as it has the support of the Ming Dynasty, then it is not a big problem.
How does Hassal know?
Do you think that the struggle between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years is all playing?
For more than two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been divided and merged, fighting back and forth. What about these people in Mongolia?
The Ming Dynasty's divide and rule, sow discord, and merge vertically and horizontally have long been accustomed to by the Mongols.
The Ming Dynasty supported Horqin and Nekhalkha and allowed them to annex Duoyan Sanwei, and the reason is the same. It's just that the Mongolian tribes are not subordinate to each other, and there is not only estrangement between them, but also hatred, and it is impossible to unite them.
After all, no one else can reach out to this place of the grassland, and many things in name are not so important. So they don't care too much, the actual territory is under our control, what can you do with us?
Even if you know the purpose of the Ming Dynasty, what can you do?
Hassar ran to Sun Chengzong very excitedly, he knew that his guess was right, the Ming Dynasty was really going to intervene. That's a good thing.
After seeing Sun Chengzong, Hasar hurriedly said excitedly: "Hasar has seen Master Sun. ”
Sun Chengzong raised his head, glanced at Hasar, raised his eyelids slightly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Sit down and talk." ”
After Hasar sat down, Sun Chengzong didn't go around the bend, and said directly: "I heard that you are forming a small tribal alliance? Is there such a thing? ”
For Sun Chengzong, there is no need to be polite or detour when talking to people like the small Mongolian tribe Hasar, and it is very good to be straightforward.
What requirements they have can be made, and what they have can be said, but whether they agree or not is their own business. And if you make your own requests, it is not easy to change.
Hasar's face immediately showed an excited expression, and it was really for this matter.
Hasar hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Sun. We do have this idea, after all, it will be much easier to do so. Whether it is to trade in Daming or to do other things, it is convenient. ”
"Are you afraid of being annihilated?" Sun Chengzong directly broke Hasar's illusions, brought the matter to the table and said: "We can also understand your behavior in doing this, after all, Da Ming has just finished fighting with Huang Taiji. Peace in eastern Liaodong was not easy to come by, and peace on the grassland was even more difficult to come by. ”
"In the past few years, the trade between Daming and the grassland has developed very quickly, and you should have gained a lot of money and harvest from it. This is a very good thing for everyone, and Daming very much does not want to see another war on the border. The war has rekindled, poisoning the people of Lebanon and harming everyone. ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Sun is right! The adults are kind-hearted and worthy of being the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Admire in the heart! Hasar said with an admiring look on his face.
He is also a human being, and of course he understands what Sun Chengzong means when he says this.
That's what it means to meddle.
Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction, knowing that this guy learned from a businessman, and he seemed sincere, but in fact it was just like that.
Whoever believes this Hasal and is fooled by his words is a real fool.
"The Ming Dynasty supports you in forming an alliance, and the current unstable factor in the Mongolian steppe is Lin Dan Khan." Sun Chengzong looked at Hasar and said slowly: "The threat that all of you face is Lin Dan Khan, and you are also afraid of Lin Dan Khan, right?" That's why the alliance was formed? ”
After speaking, Sun Chengzong's eyes were firmly fixed on Hasar, and the expression on his face was also very serious.
The meaning is obvious, do you dare to say that you don't try?
The smile on Hassar's face disappeared in an instant, and he was about to cry.
He knew one thing very well in his heart, that is, this time the trouble was big, and he thought that the Ming Dynasty was too simple.
Although this time it's just a name, but this name is the name of life. The Ming Dynasty wanted them to make an open break with Lin Dan Khan.
This kind of thing can't be done, once you really do such a thing, you will be scolded for forgetting your ancestors, and the people under your command may not be convinced, and if you don't do it, you will rebel directly. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to live my life.
And the Ming Dynasty made it clear that it was going to pull everyone to deal with Lin Dan Khan, which was the rhythm to make everyone break up.
Once he did this, Lin Dan Khan's side would not let him go no matter what the outcome was in the future. No Great Khan could have allowed such a betrayal.
When Korqin allied with Nekharkha and Nurhachi, it was also a fight against the Ming Dynasty, and there was never a intention to target Lin Dan Khan.
In those years, Nurhachi forced Korqin and Nekharkha to join his alliance to attack Lin Dan Khan, but this matter has never been negotiated and never done.
Is Daming going to do it this time?
