Chapter 839: New Strategy (II)
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the strategy of the Ming Dynasty against the Mongolian people is not too new, as early as the Taizu Taizong Dynasty, they used similar means to collect some Mongolian tribes near the Ming border for their own use, and then use the power of these tribes to constantly attack the enemy in the distance, and the price paid by the court is just some money, food and official positions.
Among the many Mongolian tribes attached to the Ming Dynasty, Duoyan Sanwei is obviously one of them. Since the Yongle period was attached to the Ming Dynasty, he helped Emperor Taizong to expedition the grassland in the north, completely defeated the Tatar leader Taishi Arutai, and created conditions for the re-rise of Wara, this huge ethnic group formed by the union of several grassland tribes has completely become the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and has been working with the border army to defend the border for the Ming Dynasty.
However, at the moment, the nomadic Duoyan Sanwei on the Horqin grassland is still quite peaceful, after all, such a Ming Dynasty is in its prosperous era, the country is strong and the people are rich, and the warehouses are sufficient, it is when they need the assistance of the imperial court. It is precisely because of their obedience that the imperial court will send them sufficient food and other logistical materials every year, so even if it is now the turn of autumn and winter, the grassland is about to usher in a long time of heavy snow and no life, and the herdsmen of these tribes are not as panicked as the Tasu tribe, but look quite leisurely.
After a little hesitation, Boyan took a dozen horses and headed towards the continuous tent groups in front, and his group quickly attracted the attention of the herdsmen scattered in front of them to herd their horses and sheep, and many of them showed friendly smiles and stepped forward to greet them: "Distant guests, where are you from?" Do you need to get off the horse and drink a sip of sweet mare's milk wine and eat some cheese before leaving? "Although they have been attached to the Ming Dynasty for many years, they have not abandoned the nature of the grassland tribe themselves, and they are extremely enthusiastic about strange guests.
"A friend from the depths of the prairie? I don't know who you're going to meet? The herders asked curiously. They had been away from the other tribes for years, and they really couldn't remember any friends there.
"It turns out that you are a friend of Diespeeda, and the distinguished guests are also invited inside, so we will go and find Diespeeda to meet you." When the herdsmen heard this, the smiles on their faces became even brighter, and they hurriedly welcomed him to the tribal settlement, and invited him into a large tent that looked very imposing, and some women of the tribe brought him some cheese, milk tea, and meat, which could be regarded as the food for entertaining the guests on the grassland.
Before he saw anyone, he laughed enthusiastically: "My friend can come to see me from the depths of the grassland, I'm really happy...... but after seeing the appearance of Boyan who smiled and greeted him, the patriarch's face suddenly stiffened: "You are ......"
A few strange lights flashed in Diesuda's eyes, and then he calmed down a little, and said, "As I grow older over the years, I have really forgotten some things." Boyan ...... The name is familiar. "My heart was full of unhappiness, and those messengers told me to come back, saying that there were old friends waiting for me, why didn't my people make it clear, it was actually this guy!
"Well...... this" Boyan didn't reply in a hurry, but looked thoughtfully at the men of the clan who had followed Diesuda into the tent. Diesuda immediately understood, waved his hand and said, "I want to have a good talk with my old friend, you all go out and get busy first." ”
It was only at this time that the smile on Diesuda's face completely disappeared, and he looked at the other party with a wary expression: "Why did you come to us?" Do you know who you are, do you know who we are? Although his tone was serious, his voice was very low, and it was clear that he did not want to be heard.
This obvious sarcastic remark made Diesuda's face change again, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart again, and just said coldly: "Why are you here, say it." If you want to get some food from us, I can help......"
"And what do you want?" Seeing this, Diesuda's expression became more and more solemn.
And these words made Diesuda's body suddenly shock: "Don't you think about it!" He didn't think about it at all, so he flatly refused: "It's not the same time now, how can I do something like that again?" What's more, this matter is done by me in unison, and I can't be the master alone. ”
"You...... Is this threatening me? He stood up in an instant, as if he might attack the other at any moment.
"Hehe, I think that when the time comes, you Wuliang Ha Sanwei will face a two-sided attack on the grassland and the Ming Kingdom, and the wealth you have accumulated over the years is really tempting."
"I said, I just came on the orders of the Taishi, in order to persuade you to finish all the things that were not done back then. Don't worry, don't look at the fact that our Taishi has not used troops against the Central Plains over the years, but in fact, we have been doing something that we have never done before. Soon, the Ming Kingdom you fear will be on fire again, and then our chance will come. ”
Just as the Ming Dynasty used new methods to deal with the Mongolian people, the Warat people, who had been suspended for some years, also began to use some methods that were very different from the past.
