Chapter 83: Post-War Disposition

"Great!"

When he received the report, Zhu Yunwen jumped up happily, ignoring the emperor's appearance, and the little dissatisfaction with Zhang Fu had completely disappeared so far.

"This Zhang Fu, yes, I didn't see the wrong person!"

"Haha! Hahaha! ”

The emperor was pleased, and so did the others.

Xu Huizu, Geng Xuan, Sheng Yong, Guo Key, Wu Gao, Qi Tai, Yang Rong and others were all excited.

Although this victory was somewhat accidental, even reluctant, its effect was almost comparable to the battle of Lanyu's fishing in the sea.

After this battle, the last strength of the Golden Family no longer exists, and the Great Khan Baonu only led a few hundred people to flee westward, and more than half of the cavalry under his command were damaged, and the remaining more than 20,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of old and young all surrendered to the Ming army.

However, the Ulkert Department of Warat Headquarters suffered heavy losses, and the elite was greatly damaged, with only more than 20,000 people left, and they were no longer able to command the Warat Divisions, and their decline was inevitable.

At the same time, the great leader of Warat, Esekul, was discredited, and many attributed the heavy defeat to the credulity of the Esekku, and if it were not for the threat of the Ming army, the Ulekt tribe would probably have been divided immediately.

In the end, the blood feud between Warat and the Mongols could no longer be resolved, and it was impossible for Samur's son Jeddah to become Warat's heir.

"Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's achievements cover the universe, the desert surrenders, and Weichen thinks that His Majesty should be honored with the title of 'Heavenly Khan'!"

"Yes, Your Majesty should be honored with the title of 'Heavenly Khan'."

......

Listening to the compliments of the important ministers, Zhu Yunwen was also a little fluttering, and the threat of Mobei was lifted like this? Seems too easy!

However, in the midst of the congratulatory voice, someone poured cold water.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's too early to congratulate at this time!"

"Oh?"

Which one doesn't open the eyes? The laugh lines on everyone's faces had not yet subsided, but when they heard this sound suddenly, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the secretary of the secretariat standing beside the emperor, Wang Gen.

Zhu Yunwen frowned, Wang Gen was a little disliked, he knew what Wang Gen wanted to do, and he also knew that the other party was for his own good, but he couldn't wait for a while? Could it be that I am a faint king, will I get carried away? However, he still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked softly, "Jingzhi, what do you suggest?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the tire situation is still in danger, and we must not take it lightly."

"The Mongol army was only temporarily surrendered for three reasons: first, the leader of the land was nowhere to be found, and the Mongol army had no owner and could only surrender; Second, the Mongolian army was located in the West China Sea, and it was unfamiliar with the place, so it did not dare to make mistakes easily; Third, it was winter at the moment, and Luntai was dripping into ice, and even if the Mongol army escaped, it would have no place to go, but would die in the ice and snow. ”

"And Warat, because of the sudden changes, the great loss of the elite, and the great loss of the prestige of the leader Eseku, caused the dragons to be leaderless, so they were helpless and could only surrender."

"But this situation will soon change, and after two or three months, the weather will become warmer, and the horror in the hearts of the Mongol army and the Warat army will gradually disappear, and at that time, as long as one or two ambitious people climb the heights and shout, the West Sea will inevitably erode."

"In the final analysis, this victory is just a coincidence, not that the Mongols and Warats are not strong enough, once it is not handled properly, repeated times are inevitable."

"Therefore, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should urgently order the Duke of Yiguo to move the Warat and Mongolian tribesmen to the east of Jiayuguan and settle in Suzhou and Ganzhou, and at the same time order the Waseku and other Warat and Mongolian nobles to come to Beijing to see His Majesty, so that it can be done."

Wang Gen's words had some truth, but they still caused dissatisfaction among the military, Xu Huizu and the others glanced at each other, Guo Jian stood up first, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, like a fish in the throat, don't vomit unpleasant!" ”

"Say it."

Guo Jian turned around, faced Wang Gen, and said sharply: "Lord Wang, at this moment, Luntai is dripping into ice, tens of thousands of soldiers have left their hometowns, traveled thousands of miles, killed and injured countless thieves, how can it be wiped out by a 'coincidence'?" ”

"Lord Wang, do you know that your fluttering words will make many soldiers who died on the battlefield unable to close their eyes? How many orphans and widows will have no pension and can only live miserably? Have you thought about it? ”

"But—"

Wang Gen was robbed by this, and he was also a little anxious: "If it weren't for a coincidence, how could the Mongolian rear army and family members just encounter our army?" As long as it is staggered for a day or two, Zhang Fu's thousand-mile raid will be a joke, and it will even bury His Majesty's elite guards! ”

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Hahaha," Guo Jian suddenly laughed: "Lord Wang, please forgive the last general, fighting on the battlefield is not as easy as it is said in the book of Tao Strategy; Commanding thousands of troops is not something that can be done by staying in the library and pointing at the map. ”

"The two armies are facing each other, there is no absolute victory or defeat, the main generals of both sides are exhausted, the soldiers on both sides are born and die, what they are fighting for is nothing more than that fleeting chance of victory, and Zhang Fu's victory lies in the fact that he traveled thousands of miles and surprised the enemy, so that he could give the enemy a fatal blow in the most suitable place."

"This kind of victory is very risky, but if Zhang Fu does not attack, then by next spring, we will not face the problem of erosion in the West Sea, but the problem of the Northwest Border Pass in an emergency, and the smoke outside the Jiayu Pass."

"But,"

Wang Gen's face turned red in a hurry: "Di Baonu didn't send someone to deliver a letter, the purpose of his westward expansion was only to unify Warat and continue to advance westward, he didn't have the idea of returning to Mobei!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Guo Jian laughed angrily: "Lord Wang, do you believe it? ”

"I-"

"When a man is destitute and has no food or clothing, he only needs to get a little scraps to be satisfied; But once he's had enough to eat, it's only natural that he'll covet more. ”

"Our army operates Rehe, Tongliao and the northeast, and it is difficult for the land to eat and sleep, and it is only more than a thousand miles from Tongliao to the fishing sea, and it only takes a few hundred miles to start from Baicheng in Heilongjiang, and it can reach the hinterland of Mongolia in ten days, how can the Mongolians not be alarmed?"

"In addition, my Ming country is thriving, and the Mongols have been repeatedly hit hard, and they are unable to compete with my Daming, so the best strategy for the Mongols is to go away."

"But to the north, the climate is cold, and there is no way to feed the Mongol army; To the west, there will inevitably be a conflict with Warat. ”

"Therefore, the Dibaonu had to come up with this method to lure Warat eastward, waiting for an opportunity to weaken it, and then occupy it and unify the power of Warat and even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, in order to raise it again."

At that time, the land security slave jumped from a vagabond to a wealthy man with a huge fortune and countless families. Lord Wang, at that time, can we still drive the Ming Dynasty to the west like we drove Warat and East Chagatai? ”

"How much effort does our Ming need to make to prevent it from returning to Mobei, or even to the fishing sea?"

"General Guo, this is a bad statement, what you said is all imagination, this official only asks you, if Zhang Fu's army is defeated, what should I do?"

Wang Gen was speechless, Qi Tai had no choice but to stand up and ask with a smile.

This sentence was said easily, but Guo Jian didn't know how to deal with it, and finally could only say: "But Zhang Fu won." ”

"This is what this official is most worried about, Zhang Fu is just a second-level capital division, he dares to go on an expedition alone, and win meritorious deeds with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers, this wind must not rise."

"General Guo, although you have said a lot, you also admit that Zhang Fu's victory was just a fluke and seized the opportunity, do you want to let our generals of the Ming Dynasty fight like this in the future?"

"Then how do you say to fight?" Guo Jian said angrily.

"It's very simple, never fight unprepared battles!"

Guo Keyqi's face turned red, but he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

"Lord Qi, it is inappropriate for you to say this!"

Geng Xuan stood up and retorted to Qi Tai.

Soon, all the civil servants and generals participated, and the Qianqing Palace quarreled into a pot of porridge.

......

"Silence!"

Zhu Yunwen listened for a while, then raised his hand, and Liu Zhen hurriedly shouted, waking up the noisy crowd.

Only then did everyone react, and they saluted one after another, saying "Forgive your sins!" ”。

Zhu Yunwen's gaze swept over the ministers, then stood up and said, "I have heard all of you Aiqing's words. ”

"Now, tell me what I think."

"The soldiers lie on the ice and drink the snow, go on an expedition of thousands of miles, and their loyalty is commendable, Qi Tai and Wang Gen, don't be too harsh on them!"

“...... Yes, Your Majesty! ”

"As for Zhang Fu, I have always pursued the principle that meritorious service must be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, I will be punished, so I will not hesitate to reward Zhang Fu as the Marquis of Wu'an, and give the earl hereditary coupons."

"The other generals will be responsible for the military department and the military aircraft department, and they will report it before the year, and I will reward them one by one."

"In addition, what Wang Gen said is not unreasonable."

"The Luntai garrison is indeed insufficient, the Fifth Guards Cavalry Corps has arrived at Jiayuguan, and immediately ordered the commander Si Wang to lead the army to Luntai, which was controlled by Zhang Fu, Marquis of Wu'an."

In addition, the Northwest Front Army was formed, with Zhang Fu as the commander-in-chief, under the jurisdiction of the Fifth and Ninth Cavalry Armies. The duty of the northwest side is to pacify the Warat tribes, arrest the land security slaves, and if the land security slaves escape into the East Chagatai, Zhang Fu will dispose of them at his discretion, and I will give the right to arbitrarily determine the opportunity. ”

"The edict ordered Yiguo to move Warat, Mongolian women and children and soldiers into Jiayuguan and settle in Suzhou and Ganzhou."

"Order Tie Xuan, the political envoy of Shaanxi, Song Xuan, the governor of Shaanxi, and Ge Cheng, the supervisor of the Gansu Xingdu Division, to fully cooperate, so that the troops and their families have no worries."

"In addition, Yang Rong and Wang Gen obey the order!"

"Wechen is here!"

"I have appointed the two of you as the chief and deputy envoys, and will go to Gansu to inspect and ensure that the troops are properly settled.

"Wechen obeys!"

"Order Fang Bin to rush to Luntai and serve as the inspector of the Northwest Front."

"In addition, there are too many troops in the northwest area, and the local feudal and Han people live together, which is prone to chaos, so the guards in various places immediately recruit soldiers, and the military salary and supplies are raised by the household department and the military department!"

"Yes!"
