With the wine in hand, and the presence of such a praising expert as Gao Pragmatic, the Qing Jiang Du Taiji really knows everything and says everything.

Chataiji, this is not the name of the first great general of Tumut, but only an official position or title.

There is no love without a reason, no hate without a reason, and likewise no loyalty without a reason. Therefore, of course, there is a reason and history as to why this person is infinitely loyal to Meda.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty retreated to the grassland, known as the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was extremely strong, and implemented the "three ploughs and five levies" for the Northern Yuan who retreated to the grassland, and Mongolia was divided for most of the time thereafter, until Genghis Khan's fifteenth grandson Dayan Khan unified the Mongolian tribes and established 60,000 households.

In the fourth year of Zhengde, Dayan Khan sent his second son Urusborot to serve as the right wing of 30,000 Jinong, which aroused the serious dissatisfaction of the leader of Yongshebu and the lord of Ordos, Mandu Agulhu, who launched a rebellion and attacked and killed Urusborot when he worshiped the tomb of Genghis Khan.

At this time, Dayan Khan's third son, Balsborot, was living with Hatun in the house of the lord of Tumut, Kosetta Bunang.

When Kosseta Bunang learned of the rebellion, he immediately sent Balsborot and his eldest son to Dayan Khan, while Balsrobert's second son, Altan, was placed in the house of the clansmen Keurruk and Ebokai Uyuhan.

After the couple accepted the task, they were afraid of harming the young Altan, so they asked a firewood scavenger to disguise herself as a widow with a baby in her arms, and fled back to Dayan Khan with the babbling Altan.

In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Altan was enthroned as the lord of Tumut Wanhu, and the Ming side called him Altan Khan.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, the son of Xingkai Urluk and Ebokai Uyuhan, who had rescued Altan Khan, was born by Yuhandu Leixiya, and Altan Khan in order to repay his parents Xingkai Urluk and his wife for saving their lives, he accepted Handu Leixiya as his son, awarded the official position as "Cha", and awarded the name of "Taiji", enjoying the same privileges as Genghis Khan's golden family.

Here, "Cha" is usually a diplomat, and "Taiji" is similar to a prince or prince, so the title "Chataiji" has both an official position and a noble status.

When Khandu Leishiya, that is, Chataiji, grew up, he was extremely shrewd and capable, and he was highly skilled in martial arts, and Altan Khan also valued him very highly and gave him real power. His military exploits are high and pragmatic and no longer need to be told by the Qing General, he has already figured out those things twelve years ago, so the Qing General has said some other things.

For example, in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the Gengxu Rebellion occurred, and Altan Khan led his troops to attack Yanjing, and the troops came to the city. Since Altan Khan's purpose at that time was to "seek Tonggong City", and he did not have the ability to break through Yanjing, in order to strive for the conditions for a peaceful settlement, he finally took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

In the second year, Altan Khan sent Chataiji to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, and after many difficult mediations, the Ming Dynasty had to agree to open horse markets in Datong and Xuanfu. The opening of the horse market has temporarily brought peace to the border between Ming and Mongolia, and the border people on both sides have benefited greatly, changing the hostile state of Ming and Mongolia for 200 years.

But the good times did not last long, and it didn't take long for Emperor Jiajing to repent, and the Ming and Mongolian sides entered the melee again, until Gao Gong seized the opportunity of the Hannaji incident to dominate the tribute.

In the fifth year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty named Altan Khan as the king of Shunyi, and another 65 people were awarded the official positions of governor, commander, thousand households, and hundreds of households.

Five years later, it was already the year of Wanli, and after I answered the above table, Chataiji was directly promoted from 100 households to commander and stationed in Tutuo City, more than 200 miles outside the border of Shanxi.

Totuo City, also known as Tuotuo, Toto, that is, the later generations of Inner Mongolia Tuoketuo County, is located in the southwest of the naturalization city not far away, this county is named because of the Chataiji residence here.

However, he did not stay here for a long time, in order to avoid the mutual interference of agriculture and animal husbandry, Chataiji took the initiative to make way for the emerging agriculture, and moved to the area of Beishizhou Township, Tumut Left Banner in later generations, settled and grazing, and gradually formed Gacha there, and later people named the village after Chataiji, and his descendants have been living in Chataiji Village until the Red Dynasty.

However, of course the Qing Jiang didn't know about the so-called Chataiji Village, and even Gao Shishi didn't know, he only knew that Chataiji's pastoral land was very close to the Naturalization City, almost only a day's journey.

In addition, the Qing general also told him that there were indeed not many troops led by Chataiji, and it was not even as good as the news that Gao Shishi originally got that there were "6,000 soldiers" - his headquarters was only 3,000 cavalry, and the other 3,000 were handed over to him by Alta, and theoretically this was the army of Alta's headquarters.

However, Chataiji has been the number one general under Alta for nearly thirty years, and his prestige in the army is unmatched by no one except Alta himself, even Xin Ai cannot be compared with Chataiji in this aspect.

In addition, he was a fair and serious person, so some small tribes, and even the Dongtao, Xitao, and Qinghai tribes, attached great importance to his attitude, especially on the affairs of war. If Chataiji said that he couldn't fight, then everyone would basically be reluctant to move, because if he felt that he couldn't fight, he would naturally not be able to fight if he changed to someone else.

However, when Gao Shishi asked the Qing generals what their attitude was towards the current Ming Dynasty, the Qing generals said categorically: "Cha Taiji feels that he can't fight with the Ming army anymore." ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, but his face remained unchanged, he smiled and raised his glass and drank the green hand, and then asked, "Why?" Can Chataiji explain why? ”

"Yes, of course I did." Qing Jiangdu is very addicted to alcohol, but in terms of the amount of alcohol, I am afraid that it is slightly inferior to the soldier of Gao Pragmatic's alcohol test, and he is already a little drunk at this time, but his thinking is still very clear, and he said very neatly: "Chataiji said, first, the Ming army has infinite financial resources, and the border defense has been overhauled over the years, especially the cement fortress, which is extremely strong, and it is impossible to conquer it at all.

Second, the Ming army often won big victories in Jiliao, and the ordnance of the department became more and more sophisticated, which was not comparable to twenty years ago, so the probability of winning the battle was too low.

Thirdly, I can recuperate, sit and watch Chahar run out of strength, and maybe I will become the Great Khan of all Mongolia again...... Eh, this is Chataiji's words, even if the 30,000 households of Tumut become the Great Khan of all Mongolia, they will still be the Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Gongzi, don't get me wrong. ”

Am I mistaken? Why should I misunderstand, Tumut wants to be the emperor of Mengyuan, that is a well-known thing. However, even if Emperor Mengyuan and his family are transferred to the branch of Alda, I am not worried, I am even looking forward to this day, but ...... Before I can do that, I'll have to get your Tumut under control.

As for Chataiji's analysis, Gao Pragmatic felt that the Qing General had not deceived him, and with Chataiji's level, it was not surprising that he could see this. Of course, this also shows that the policy of Gao Gong has had an effect.

In fact, the current policy of "West Huaidong System" in the Ming Dynasty was originally from the hands of Gao Gong.

At that time, Gao Gong's consolidation measures for the tribute were mainly two points: strengthening armaments and using troops against Liaodong.

The high arch is on a sparse, called "the captives are attached, the border is a little quiet, begging in time to overhaul the border government to Yongtu public security", in this sparse, the high arch is to overhaul the border government and canonize the mutual market together. [No wind note: This omission is a historical fact. 】

Gao Gong believes that the real purpose of canonizing the mutual market is to win border tranquility, so as to overhaul border politics and lay the cornerstone of long-term peace.

In other words, the completion of the canonization and the exchange of markets does not indicate that the tribute has ended. Therefore, the further rectification of armaments, especially border defense, after the tribute was sealed, was part of the Alberta tribute incident, and it was of great importance.

Moreover, Gao Gong's "Furong Chronicle" also included "The Capture of the People, the Border Troubles are a Little Peaceful, and the Begging Timely Overhaul of the Border Administration to Yongtu Public Security and Sparseness" is included in it, which shows that "timely overhaul of the border government" and "Furong" are inseparable.

In "Answering Qi General Soldiers", Gao Gong expressed this opinion more clearly, he said, "The west is newly attached, and the east is still inward, if it is successful, then it will be arrogant to enlighten the west with yin, although it is not rare to get tribute city." If there must be a big setback, not only will this captives be chilling, but also the western captives will be afraid, and the tribute city can be eternal. ”

It can be seen that in Gao Gong's view, in order to maintain the favorable situation formed by the tribute of Alta, it is necessary to use troops in Liaodong and strive for great victory, on the one hand, to frustrate its spirit, and on the other hand, to form an effective deterrent force for Alta, so as to maintain and consolidate the good situation of Alta Xinfu at that time.

Gao Gong knew very well that further reorganizing armaments and strengthening border defense were the pillars for maintaining long-term peace and prosperity, and that using troops to Liaodong and vigorously defeating the "eastern captives" could dispel my undesirable thoughts.

Peace is prone to slackness, and peace without strength is unreliable and must be temporary. Therefore, the border peace maintained by relying on tribute is not reliable. Temporary peace should not be a reason to neglect one's duties and be taken lightly, but should be turned into a ladder of positive progress.

Therefore, he has always regarded vigorously rectifying armaments and border defenses and enhancing military strength as the key to consolidating and maintaining the tributary city and forming a good situation.

In other words, at that time, Gao Gong had already seen that the key link in the entire tribute was to use the existing peace "solid cultivation" to improve the strength of border defense and lay the cornerstone of long-term peace and security.

In this regard, Gao Gong said very clearly and thoroughly, he said: "But if you have three or five years of tranquility, you must settle down, arrange weekly, fill the soldiers' food, and consolidate the fundamentals, and the opportunity to win is in me." When the time comes, if he seeks an alliance, I still show the righteousness of restraint; If he breaks the contract, I will ask the teacher of sin, and I will expand and retreat, and I have my own room. It will be difficult to succeed in the old state of madness, and China can enjoy infinite peace...... If you can rely on the temple and cultivate with a solid heart, so that the side affairs will win day by day, it will be the foundation of long-term rule. ”

This idea later became the consistent ruling idea of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the "West Huaidong System".

Now, from Chataiji's analysis, it can be seen that Gao Gong's original idea has had obvious results.

Due to the internal reform, the Ming Dynasty has more financial and material resources that can be used for overhauling the border government, such as the construction of cement fortresses - because the monopoly capitalist Gao pragmatic is unwilling to sell goods at a low price, the price of cement has been very expensive so far, but because the Ming Dynasty gradually began to collect commercial taxes and customs duties, he insisted on vigorously purchasing cement, and almost all the important side walls and fortresses were rebuilt, which caused an important factor that Chataiji thought could not be beaten.

The effect of the "Eastern System" to deter Tumut is also obvious, and the second rule that Chataiji believes that he cannot fight again with the Ming army is because of the Jiliao side. Qi Jiguang was able to repel the intrusion of the Duoyan tribes every time, and although Li Chengliang could not resist the enemy outside the country, he could hit the homes of Chahar, Duoyan and other tribes at every turn.

According to Chataiji's idea, Qi Jiguang lacks horses, so he can only guard; There are horses in Liaodong, so Li Chengliang can attack. So if you compare this situation with Xuanda's side, you will come to a conclusion: Xuanda also has horses, if Tumut and the Ming army rise again, then the Xuanda Ming army can actually enter Tumut like Liaodong!

If Tumut is still the same as back then, it will be okay for the Xuanda Ming army to come in, let's just go, it's good that you have horses, but you eat rice and grain, which means that you still need logistics, so you can only follow my Mongolian people and eat fart.

But the problem is that the current Tumut is no longer the Tumut of the past, with the establishment of cities such as Guihua City, nearly half of the Mongols have begun to live a "settled" life, where can they still walk as before?

Moreover, the agriculture has not been in vain in recent years, and now the Mongolians' ability to resist disasters has improved much compared with before, and it is difficult to form a devastating blow to a tribe due to ice and snow disasters, especially for those tribes that follow the Han people to reclaim famine, their ability to resist disasters has increased several times.

It's just that this also means that the Mongols can no longer just pat their butts and walk away - you can go, but you don't want your crops? When there is a snow and ice disaster in winter, and the livestock freeze to death, will the whole family go to drink wind and smoke?

Therefore, the deterrence of the high arch "West Huaidong System", coupled with the highly pragmatic "Sinicization" and economic control, Shengsheng has put Tumut in a dilemma - he doesn't dare to fight, and he doesn't dare to go.

The other third one, Gao Pragmatic really doesn't mind, and it is completely human nature for Chataiji to think like this. They are all descendants of Genghis Khan, why can you be the "Great Yuan Emperor", but my father-in-law cannot?

In Khattaiji's view, his father-in-law, Altan Khan, was clearly more eloquent than Tumen Khan.

Gao Shishi laughed and said loudly: "Come on, come here and two more jars of imperial tribute wine, today the official wants to accompany the Qing brothers to have a good drink!" ”

Yes, please have a good drink, with your introduction, I will be clear about Chataiji's bottom line!

What's the bottom line?

The bottom line is that no matter how I canonize Daming, at this moment, he Cha Taiji will never dare to talk to me!
