"But does Mongolia really need a Great Khan?" Zhu Cihong pondered, "Great Khan! What if he doesn't have the strength? When I ran out of Beijing with the emperor, how much strength did I have? ”

Wu Sanfu said: "Your Majesty, where can Elu Chen compare with you?" He was nothing more than a thief at home, and he was old enough to have many years to live. ”

"He's old," Zhu Cihong asked again, "what about his son?" ”

Wu Sanfu shook his head: "He doesn't have a son, just an adopted son, named Batu, who is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Acting King." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said lightly: "The acting king turned out to be also a yuan horse!" ”

Hearing the words "Yuan Horse", Wu Sanfu was in his heart, he knew that Yuan Horse was talking about the Yuan Horse Timur who created the Timurid Empire!

Wu Sanfu immediately changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, after the Battle of Hetao last year, His Royal Highness the Acting King has gained great momentum, and the land south of Yinshan Mountain is owned by him. The Mongolian Ordos Six Banners, which were attached to the king, were also strengthened, and many Mongolian herdsmen who originally belonged to the Tumut Banner were attached to the Ordos Six Banners. The county king banner (one of the six banners of Ordos) directly under the Eluchen has been moved to Dongshengwei, and the front of the army is directed at Tumo River! ”

Although the battle of Hetao was not a big fight, the "black spearmen" of Zhu Cijiong, the acting king, also played a majestic style, and there was no one who was not afraid of the Mongolian tribes participating in the war, especially the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes were even more afraid to death - the fighting style of the black lancers of the acting king was similar to that of the Cossacks of the Rakshasas! That's all hundreds of people who can beat thousands of Mongolian warriors full of demons and monsters, how can the Han people be so powerful now?

Therefore, after the deputy Lin moved to the eastern front, Zhu Cijiong and Eluchen began to expand their territory!

Zhu Cijiong's goal was the inter-river area between the foot of the Yin Mountains and the Yellow River, where the Yellow River was divided and merged, where the Yellow River bent from north to east in the west, and at the foot of the Muna Mountain in the east. Therefore, it will become a humid and fertile riverside area, suitable for farming and grazing, and has long been targeted by Zhu Cijiong.

After Fulin withdrew his troops, he personally led 20,000 foot cavalry, and went straight to the Hejian area at the foot of Yin Mountain to grab the land, and also bumped into the cattle and sheep herds placed in the Hejian grassland by the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes in the Hejian area, so he not only grabbed the territory, but also grabbed hundreds of thousands of various large animals by the way, and made a ruthless fortune.

After grabbing the territory, cattle and sheep, Zhu Cijiong ordered people to build Jiuyuan Castle in the south of the Yellow River North Road, and set up Jiuyuan Guard.

The ancient city of Dongshengwei in the Ming Dynasty moved to the east of the Ming Dynasty many times, and the ancient city of Dongshengwei occupied by the Emperor was the earliest Dongshengwei in the fourth year of Hongwu, and was set up in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, and was ordered to move inward by Zhu Di in the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu (four years of Jianwen). Since then, the Ming Dynasty's control over the Hetao has declined considerably.

Before the Eluchen entered Dongshengwei, this area was the territory of the naturalized city of Tumut Left Banner and the naturalized city of Tumut Right Banner of Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty. The so-called internal Mongolia refers to the Mongolian banners that do not have hereditary Zasaks and are directly governed by officials appointed by the Qing court. Before the "Qing Dynasty was gone", there were two major parts of Inner Mongolia, one was the two banners on the left and right of the naturalized city of Tumut, which was originally a tribe directly under Altan Khan. One is the Chahar Eight Banners.

Because the Tumut Khanate was once strong, so Huang Taiji and Dolgon were very jealous, so they did not allow the descendants of Altan Khan to inherit Zasak (the banner with the hereditary Zasak is the outer Mongolia), but placed the two banners of the naturalized city of Tumut under the direct jurisdiction of the Qing court, but at the same time did not incorporate them into the Eight Banners Mongolia - they entered the Eight Banners Mongolia is the real own people of the Qing Dynasty, and the two banners of the naturalized city of Tumut are not their own people of the Qing Dynasty.

And the Chahar Eight Banners needless to say, Lin Dan Khan's old subordinates, how could the Qing Dynasty treat them as their own?

The so-called Inner Mongolia, at least for the naturalized cities of Tumut and Chahar Eight Banners, is "residential surveillance", so when Fulin was preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army, he would rather mobilize the troops of foreign Mongolia than mobilize the men and horses of the Ten Banners of Inner Mongolia.

The six banners of Ordos were from the Tumut Khanate, and the great-grandfather of the Ermut Khan, Ji Neng, was the nephew of Altan Khan, and after the rise of Altan Khan, he nominally unified the right wing of the Mert Khanate, but in fact only led 10,000 households in Ordos, and was stationed in the west of the Yellow River Loop.

With this relationship, after the weakening of the descendants of Altan Khan and the decline of the power of the Qing Dynasty, the Elu ministers could take advantage of the weakness with the support of Zhu Cijiong, occupy the Tumo River, collect the two banners of the naturalized city of Tumut, and even go one step further to take the eight banners of Chahar together.

In this way, Eluchen has the "strong strength" of the six banners of Ordos, the two banners of the naturalized city of Tumut, and the eight banners of Chahar, a total of sixteen banners.

It looks like he has the power to win the throne of the Great Khan!

However, the three Khalkha Mongol tribes will not necessarily buy the accounts of the ministers...... As long as Emperor Zhu does not support it, Mobei Mongolia will inevitably peck at each other!

Zhu Cihong paced up in the main hall, walked back and forth several times, and finally stopped in front of a map of the situation of the Mongolian tribes hanging on the wall.

"The Great Khan of Mongolia can not be sealed by an edict of my will, according to Mongolian tradition, he can only become the Great Khan at the Khar and Linkai Kuritai conferences, elected by the leaders of the Mongolian tribes." Zhu Cihong said slowly, "I can first crown the Elu minister as Har and Lin Khan, and order him to rule the six banners of Ordos, the two banners of the naturalized city of Tumut, and the eight banners of Chahar, and have the old Mongolian capital of Har and Lin. ”

Zhu Cihong paused, and then said: "Give another secret decree to the acting king, ordering him to help the ministers of the Elder to go north to compete for the throne of Khan and Har and Lincheng, and at the same time take advantage of the situation to occupy Tumochuan and Guihua City, as well as the former hometown of Shanxi Xingdu. When I recover Datong, I will let him return to Datong Mansion, and I will also make him the protector of Anbei and govern the former Shanxi Xingdu Division. ”

"Your Majesty, what about Shuofang Town?" Li Ruolian asked, "Do you want to remove Shuofang Town?" ”

"There is no need to remove it," Zhu Cihong shook his head, "It can be divided into towns, and Hetao, Hejian, and Ningxia will still be returned to Shuofang Town." Yulin Town was newly established in Yulin and Yan'an. Let the king of Tang be the envoy of Shuofang Town, and the envoy of Yulin will be handed over to Huang Degong...... As for the debts of the Shuofang domain, all of them were repaid by the imperial court. ”

Zhu Cijiong will definitely be moved to tears when he hears this news!

Li Ruolian said: "Your Majesty, there are six military towns such as Beiting, Anxi, Pingxi, Shuofang, Anbei, and Yulin!" In the future, will the northern frontier be in charge of the feudal towns? ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "Pingxi Town will be changed to Hexi Town...... The Pingxi feudal debt was also followed by the imperial court! The west of Lanzhou, including Lanzhou, is under the jurisdiction of Hexi Town. The west of Hamiwei, including Hamiwei, is under the jurisdiction of the town of Anxi.

The envoy of Hexi Jiedu and the protector of Anxi are temporarily served by the Duke of Liangguo, but in the future, the Duke of Liangguo can only serve as one of the towns.

In addition, I also plan to set up Beiping Town north of Yanshan to govern the former Northern Parallel Capital Division and Xuanfu territory. can let Gao Jie go to be the envoy of the Beiping Festival.

Together with the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, there are nine border towns in total...... The land of 20,000 or 30,000 miles in the north is controlled by these nine border towns! ”

Zhu Cihong's nine border towns are much larger than the nine border towns set up by Zhu Di, and their strength and autonomy are certainly much greater.

After arranging the nine border towns, Emperor Zhu took a breath and said to Wu Sanfu and Li Ruolian on the left and right: "After dividing the territory, it is time to finish the battle...... The plan for the siege of Beijing can begin to be prepared! At least 200,000 troops must be dispatched, not only the army of the imperial court, but also the monks of the Erlin and the monks of the northern court must also send troops to participate in the battle. If possible, we must let those Zasak banners in the south and north of the desert also send troops to participate in the war, and let the whole world see who is the lord of Mongolia! ”
