Chapter 427: Imperial Will
At such a time, the emperor summoned Qi Jiguang, isn't this attitude obvious?
It's just that the Ming courtiers all know that this is not a matter of passing on the jade seal of the country at all, what is the situation on the grassland now? Daming is already garrisoning in Naturalization City, although no civilian officials have been dispatched, but Daming knows that it is a matter of time or time. The eastern imperial court built a city in the Jurchen department, operated in Liaodong, took the three departments of Duoyan, and destroyed Horqin.
not only built the city, but also sent civil officials, directly accepted as the land of the Ming Dynasty, what is left in Southern Mongolia?
The big tribes are left with Chahar and Ordos, and the rest are small tribes, which are completely worrying. Can the emperor watch Chahar stumble? Can you give him a chance to jump? Completely non-existent. With the strength of His Majesty today, and with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is imperative to take Chahar.
Not to mention the emperor, the court, the nobles, civil officials, local businessmen and gentry, which one doesn't want to take out Chahar?
Once the Chahar is removed, the entire Monan Mongolia will be the Ming Dynasty, which has not been done by any emperor in history, and the emperor will let go of this opportunity? Completely non-existent. The nobles, officials and gentry all want to make money, how can such an opportunity be missed? Either way, Chahar must be destroyed.
Now it is Chahar who has come to surrender, and he is also pulling other small tribes, if the court persecuts too much, it will cause the small tribes to follow Chahar with iron hearts.
When things got to that point, it was a trouble for the imperial court, and it was not conducive to the imperial court's rule over the whole of Mongolia. Now for Monan Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty has passed the stage of imminent power, and is about to enter the second stage, that is, pacification and governance. The emperor asked Chahar to take out the jade seal of the country, but he just found a reason.
There are other reasons for not inheriting the jade seal, anyway, Chahar can't stay, the golden family bloodline, or the largest tribe on the grassland, must be destroyed.
Now in the name of the jade seal of the country, we are targeting Chahar, which is to tell other tribes, big and small, don't make trouble, Daming accepts your surrender, we are just unhappy with Chahar. As for what the heirloom jade seal that Chahar took out, Zhu Yijun didn't care, and the noble ministers of the Ming Dynasty didn't care, it was fake anyway.
In fact, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was quite disdainful of the jade seal of the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I am the right cloth of Huai, and the world is in my place." The Ming Dynasty didn't care about the jade seal, and the Song Dynasty and the later Qing Dynasty put the jade seal on their lips.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty all know the beginning and end of this matter, and they also know that this is the absolute will of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is also the absolute will of the military. Of course, it is impossible to shut up, little Chahar, how dare you deceive Your Majesty.
What is this behavior?
This is not to put His Majesty in his eyes, not to put Daming in his eyes, how should such a Chahar Department be treated? Of course, it was a slap to death, absolutely no nonsense. So the ministers were excited, and they sent troops to extinguish Chahar and were sent to the palace, and the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be burning.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yijun announced Qi Jiguang's entry into the palace, and everyone knew what he was going to do.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "Aiqing, sit down!" ”
As the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Beijing camp, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, and the marquis of Dingbei of the empire, Qi Jiguang was naturally granted exemption from worship. When he saw Zhu Yijun, he could naturally sit. When Qi Jiguang sat down, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Aiqing, look at it, this is the heirloom jade seal sent by Chahar." ”
Zhu Yijun smiled mockingly, originally Zhu Yijun thought that Chahar couldn't take out this thing, but he didn't expect it to be really taken out by him.
Regarding this heirloom jade seal, Zhu Yijun has really heard of it, but Zhu Yijun always thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect that there was really something.
How did this jade seal come about? It is said that a shepherd dug it out of the ground and then offered it to Buyan Chechen. Buyan Chechen was immediately overjoyed, so he used this jade seal to order the Mongolian tribes to prove that he was the man of destiny, but the Mongolian tribes still ignored him.
Originally, there was no role for this jade seal, but someone needed to add a play, and this person was Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji destroyed the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, and his descendants offered the so-called "national seal" of the Yuan Dynasty, which is actually this jade seal, and the "emperor's seal" is engraved on it.
This thing is fake at first glance, whether it was made by Buyan Chechen at the beginning, or whether it was a fake dedicated to Buyan Chechen, then no one knows. Huang Taiji felt that this was an opportunity, and he forged a piece himself, but did not use this jade seal of the "Emperor's Seal". After getting this jade seal, Huang Taiji declared that he was the destiny of heaven, and he should inherit the Yuan Dynasty as the lord of the grassland and establish the country, so he changed the Houjin to the Qing Dynasty and officially established the country.
During the Qianlong period, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty was quite good at researching the evidence, and he recognized it as a fake, but he had the right to take the fake as the truth, and the conversation was full of numbers, and there was no one who studied it deeply. Later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this jade seal was stored in the Shenyang Forbidden City and was missing.
The one in the Shenyang Forbidden City was forged by Huang Taiji, or the jade seal engraved with "The Emperor's Seal", Zhu Yijun does not know. It's just that Zhu Yijun didn't expect that he would really be able to see this jade seal, Zhu Yijun felt that it was unlikely that this jade seal was forged by Buyan Chechen, why did he engrave these words if he forged it? It's too fake.
So this jade seal may be carved by the emperor during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the origin is no longer known.
However, when this jade seal arrived at Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun definitely couldn't admit it, it really had to be said to be fake, not to mention that it was so fake.
Qi Jiguang saw that Zhu Yijun handed the jade seal to him, and he didn't hesitate too much, and took it after thanking him. After looking at it, Qi Jiguang felt that this thing should be an old object, and there were really four words engraved underneath: The Emperor's Seal, then there is no doubt that it is fake.
"I'm looking for Aiqing today, I want to discuss something with Aiqing!"
After Qi Jiguang saw the jade seal, Zhu Yijun decisively turned the topic to the point: "I want to ask Aiqing, if I give Aiqing the right to command the army, and send out the Jizhou soldiers and Xuanda people, will Aiqing destroy me in a battle?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's enough!" Qi Jiguang nodded and said.
Although some of the soldiers of Xuanda have been laid off, since the Ming Dynasty entered the Naturalization City, the Xuanda people of the Ming Dynasty have actually expanded. The naturalized soldiers commanded by Ma Gui have a lot of young and strong people, and the number of Xuanda people has reached 100,000. The key is that most of the Xuanda soldiers are cavalry, and the number of cavalry is 40,000, which is a strong cavalry of the first class of the Ming Dynasty.
Coupled with the cavalry of Jizhou, Qi Jiguang was able to fight a cavalry battle.
