The next day, Tianqi came to the Military Affairs Institute only to find that not only Sun Chengzong was there, but Gao Di, who had been cultivating for nearly half a year, was also here, as well as Wang Zaijin of the Bohai Military Region, Xiong Tingbi of the Jizhou Military Region, and Yuan Keli of the Liaodong Military Region. After many days of deliberation, they agreed on a new disposition, but it would not take effect until the Apocalypse agreed. First of all, there will be chaos in the north of the Military Affairs Yuan, and then there will be a follow-up plan for counterinsurgency matters in the south, and the red-haired ghosts who occupy Taiwan are also very arrogant, and some scattered bandit gangs have also appeared in the northwest.

After everyone sat down, Sun Chengzong asked Xiong Tingbi to first introduce the situation in the north, it turned out that the Jurchens had been taking advantage of the different religious beliefs of the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan and his subordinates to sow discord, taking advantage of the difference between the red and white religions they believed in, and using the most influential Wumu Sat Yuerji Lama, to instigate the Naiman tribe in the eight major departments of the Han Dynasty to defect to the Jurchens. After years of hard work, there was finally a result, in June of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Naiman and Ao Han in the eight major departments of the Han Dynasty officially drew a line with Lin Dan Khan and threw themselves into the arms of Huang Taiji, which made Lin Dan Khan, who had always wanted to integrate the Mongolian tribes together, very angry and decided to fight back.

However, Huang Taiji was unforgiving, according to the information sent back by the military intelligence department, it was said that the Jurchens did not know what demon methods were used, and now there were several Taiji who were inserted into the Han Department to return to Huang Taiji, and Lin Dan Khan was about to reach the point of betraying his relatives and leaving. Huang Taiji also stretched out his hand to the north of the Jizhou Military Region, if he wanted to plot against the Mongolian Karaqin Department, Lin Dan Khan had sent his Dorot tribe to intercept and kill along the way, which made Huang Taiji angry, the secret battle between the two sides has now been put on the bright side, everyone is accumulating strength, and it is not impossible to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in a large-scale dispute, and the Ming side must take countermeasures.

A few people in the Military Affairs Yuan mean that if the Mongols and the Jurchens really carry out a strategic decisive battle, the consequences are nothing more than three, one is that both sides are defeated and injured, and each side collects troops and goes home to add wounds, and it is impossible for both sides to have a substantial threat to the Ming in a short period of time, so that the Ming can also seize the time to develop well for a few years, this situation is the best but also the most unlikely, the Jurchens are very proud of the continuous encroachment of the Mongol tribes, and everyone agrees that the scattered Mongols will be completely defeated under the leadership of Lin Dan Khan, who is stubborn and self-serving. If he can thin a certain strength, it will be difficult for him to get Qing'er's idyllic life if he is not completely annihilated.

The second possibility is that the Jurchens completely ate the Mongols, but because they ate too quickly, they couldn't digest it internally, so Huang Taiji had to go back and slowly integrate and eliminate the dissidents, and integrate the annexed Mongols with the original Jurchens, which is not something that can be done in a few days and months. Just like a strong man who eats too much but has no combat effectiveness, he must wait for too much food in his stomach to be digested before he can do things, Cao Cao is leveling Yuan Shao and Liu Biao immediately after he can't wait to sweep Jiangnan, and the soldiers have not completely returned to their hearts, no matter how many people are cumbersome.

If this is the case, although the Ming Dynasty can obtain temporary peace, but the pressure will be greater, once the time is ripe, Huang Taiji can lead the Jurchen Mongol coalition army from the northeast, north, northwest three directions to threaten over, although the Ming army will not be defeated in a short period of time, but will also feel that the left and right sides are very difficult. The Mongolian tribes still have the Duoyan Department in the Ming Dynasty's side wall to see the limelight, and they still have an inexplicable connection with the Mongolian Karaqin Department, once the Ming Dynasty is at a disadvantage, it is difficult to guarantee that the Duoyan Department of the Ming Dynasty will not lead the way to the Jurchens.

The third possibility is that the Mongols loyal to Lin Dan Khan fought a short battle with the Jurchens, whether they won or lost, Lin Dan Khan led his people to drift west, because now the territory controlled by the Mongols is really large≈ Dan Khan's Han Department plus the Khalkha Department, the Karaqin Department, the Horqin Department, etc. are considered to be Eastern Mongolia, that is, the Tatars as the Ming Dynasty has always called, and to the west there are also Western Mongolians, that is, the Wara people entrenched in the vast land north of Jiayuguan, and their power extends from the north of Ningxia to Hami, Turpan finally spread to the original Wusi Zangdu Division of the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Dan Khan still had a certain influence among the Western Mongols, and he might come back after cultivating for a while.

In this case, the Ming may suffer from two attacks, one is that the Jurchens are not happy enough to kill people, and the Mongols run away to ensure that they will not spill their anger on the head of the Ming army, just like a person who gathers strength to beat people, and after the target is not there, he may go to hit the tree, the wall and the air in order to release the energy, so the Ming must be prepared. The fleeing Mongols suffered little losses, and on the way to defeat and escape, they must have also planned to enter the Great Wall to get a handful of money because of supplies or shortcuts, among which Ningxia, Ganzhou, Suzhou and other prominent areas are key defense places.

Xiong Tingbi's introduction and the addition of everyone made Tianqi understand the current situation in the north, and he thought about it and asked Yuan Keli, the overseer of Liaodong: "Lord Yuan, can you find any changes in Liaodong?" ”

Yuan Keli said: "The Jurchens in Liaodong have not come to harass this year, but according to the observation post near Yizhou, the defenders of Yizhou have shown signs of increase, seeing that they have added a lot of equipment in addition to the addition of men and horses, and there may be some actions, but after our assessment, we believe that these arrangements of the Jurchens are not a big threat to Ningyuan Pass, and most of the equipment purchased by the real people is used for defense, and it was also found that they imitated the mobile fire cage used by me when Ningyuan City defended the city, and it seems that they are afraid that our Ming army will attack Yizhou." ”

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Everyone is not stupid, and useful good things will naturally be picked and sent." However, I think this shows that the Jurchens wanted to attack the Mongols on a large scale, and the reinforcement of the defense of Uiju had the intention of consolidating the rear. The news brought back by the military intelligence department said that not only Yizhou, but also Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and other places are shrinking their forces to defend with all their might, and the Jurchens have been very good to the local Ming people and the Mongolian people who have moved in for more than a year, and many local people have been recruited and organized, and let them guard the city to protect their homeland, and many locals have also listened to it. ”

Tianqi nodded slowly and said: "The common people only know that they live well, and the hatred of the family and the country is very indifferent, this Huang Taiji knows that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and it is not easy ♀ to care about him, have you ever thought about giving him a knife behind the Jurchens to help Lin Dan Khan?" Like in the Three Kingdoms, it becomes a balanced situation? ”

Sun Chengzong said: "There have been considerations in this regard, and some soldiers have even put forward suggestions in this regard, for example, Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the southern Liaoning army of the Bohai Naval Region, suggested that the Jurchens be given a few blows as he did at the beginning of last year, and that they would be disgusted and disgusted if they did not try to occupy places and grab things, but after discussion, they were rejected. ”

Apocalypse asked, "Why is that?" I remember that the slogan mentioned at that time was to kill horses, not kill, and the effect was very good, and it was said that the actions that made the emperor jump to his feet in anger and make the enemy angry were good. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Of course, it has an effect at the beginning, but later others strengthened the prevention and the effect was not great, it is better to concentrate on doing something else, the current form is like the Three Kingdoms period that the emperor said, but we are now weak and strong." In the Three Kingdoms, Wu and Shu united against Cao Wei, because the Sun and Liu families were very weak, and the two weak combined could maintain a balance of power with one strong, and the three kingdoms would maintain a strong momentum for many years. From the terms of the negotiation between the emperor and the Jurchens, it can be seen that the emperor is not a person who is content with the status quo, and wants to unify all the nomadic peoples until Mobei, so we can't unite the weak and resist the strong to maintain the balance of power for a long time, even if we want to unite, we can only unite with the Jurchens to kill the Mongols. ”

Wang Zaijin, the overseer of the Bohai Military Region, said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what Lord Sun said about uniting the Jurchens to fight the Mongols, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty did this back then, but later lost the country. The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty now, as a result, they first united with the Jurchens to fight the Khitans, and the Northern Song Dynasty died as soon as the Jurchens became strong, and later they united with the Mongols to fight the Jurchens, and the Southern Song Dynasty was gone as soon as Mongolia was strong. ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "Yes, the soldiers must see the situation clearly, and if they are not careful, they will trap themselves, but what should we do according to Lord Wang's wishes?" Is it to unite the Mongols or to unite the Jurchens? ”

Wang Zaijin said: "What the minister means is that it is better to keep the status quo for now, that is, to hold a few places in the rear of the Jurchens when they go to attack the Mongols, even if the long-term benefits are not obtained, the immediate benefits are always ready-made." ”

Sun Chengzong was not unhappy because of Wang Zaijin's opposition, on the contrary, he said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is very thoughtful, if we unite with the Jurchens to completely defeat the Mongols, because of living habits and national identity and other issues, those Mongols will definitely join the Jurchens in the end, the minister said that the joint Jurchen attack on the Mongols is based on a foundation, that is, we have the ability to deal with the joint attack of the Jurchens and the Mongols, if we can have these grasps, things will become easier after the joint Jurchen attack on the Mongols, after all, the two enemies have become one." , the Ming Dynasty has fought Tatar and Wara for more than two hundred years, and Warla and Tatar, it is indeed not as simple as fighting one. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The nomads outside the Great Wall and the farming people in the Great Wall have been fighting for thousands of years, and there will be one or several big battles every once in a while, and now is the time to fight with them again≌ You said that the time of the war will be postponed a little bit, if you unite the Jurchens to fight the Mongols, then the big war between the two sides will come immediately." Apart from these two ideas of either uniting one side or uniting the other, what other way do you have any? Is there any way for Daming to stay out of it? ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, this is also the reason why we invited the emperor to come up today, and another way is not to participate in it and only defend on one side, and the worst plan is to prevent the joint attack of the Mongols and Jurchens." ”(
