Chapter 279: A Way Out
(Recommended reading: "This official is the new governor of Liaodong, and he used a false identity in order to avoid being detected by Nurhachi. (2) (5) (8) 鈡雯?
Li Hongyu knew that it was difficult for Jin Taishi and Buyangu to accept his identity for a while, so he said to the two of them quietly, "This official went to Chahanhot to meet the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan before, and Bahat Taiji can prove that what this official said is true. ”
"Two Baylors, Ben Taiji can testify, Li Qian...... Governor Li did go to Chahanhot to meet our Mongol Great Khan. ”
As he spoke, Li Hongyu turned to look at Bahat, who looked stunned, and Bahat reacted when he heard this, and hurriedly affirmed Li Hongyu's statement in a deep voice, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.
Bahat didn't think that Li Hongyu had lied, and in any case, he couldn't have imagined that Li Hongyu, who was the governor of Liaodong, would go to Chahanhot to see Lin Dan Khan, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.
"I've seen the Governor." When Jin Taishi and Buyanggu saw that Li Hongyu had really gone to see Lin Dan Khan, they immediately realized that Li Hongyu's identity was true, and hurriedly bowed to Li Hongyu in both directions.
Obviously, Nurhachi would never send someone to Chahanhot in order to deceive Jintaishi and Buyangu, and now Nurhachi's energy is all focused on Kaiyuan and Tieling, where the army is empty, where is there any heart to spend so much energy to deal with Yehebu.
According to the information obtained by Jintaishi and Buyangu, the Houjin army, which had experienced the Battle of Salhu, was now seizing the time to rest and recuperate, and placed its forces in Sancha'erbao and Jilin Cliff, cutting off the connection between Kaiyuan, Tieling and Shenyang and other cities, making it isolated in northern Liaobei.
As long as the Houjin army captures Kaiyuan and Tieling, then the Yehe army will lose the protection of the Ming army, and the strength of the Yehe army will not be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Houjin army at all.
Moreover, Zhang Baihu of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division testified on the side, Zhang Baihu worked in the yamen of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, so he did not participate in the four-way attack of the main force of the Ming army transferred from all over the country commanded by Yang Hao, so Jin Taishi and Buyanggu naturally believed his testimony and believed that the young Li Hongyu was the new governor of Liaodong.
After all, the Ming army fought such a big defeat in Salhu, and it was normal for the imperial court to remove the governor of Liaodong, and someone needed to bear the blame for the failure of the Salhu War.
It's just that Li Hongyu is too young, and he doesn't look like the governor of Liaodong at all in terms of age.
"Two generals, this official's visit this time is related to your Yehe Department." Seeing Jin Taishi and Buyangu saluting him, Li Hongyu looked at them and said with a serious expression, "Although this official doesn't want to admit it, Kaiyuan and Tieling can no longer hold on due to the emptiness of their troops, and sooner or later they will fall into the hands of Jiannu." ”
"And as soon as Kaiyuan and Tieling are broken, you Yehebu will be isolated." As he spoke, Li Hongyu raised his voice and asked in a deep voice, "This official wants to ask you now, are you willing to live and die with here, or move to another place, recuperate and then plot?" ”
"Moving somewhere else?" Hearing this, Jin Taishi and Buyanggu couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, the two of them thought that Li Hongyu was going to talk about them running away without a fight during the Battle of Salhu, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a matter of migration.
"Dare to ask the Governor, where can we go?" Afterwards, Jin Taishi couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu curiously, wanting to know where Li Hongyu placed them.
"Ning Yuan!" Li Hongyu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said solemnly, "This official has already invited the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord understands that you have been fighting against Jiannu for many years, so he let you go to Ningyuan to recuperate, (2) (5) (8) >
"To Ningyuan?" Jin Taishi and Buyangu were taken aback again, the two naturally knew that Ning Yuan was outside the Shanhai Pass, but they didn't expect the imperial court to place them so far away.
But then again, with the rise of Houjin, Liaodong and Liaoxi have become unpeaceful, and Ningyuan is much safer as the rear, so there is no need to worry about being poisoned by the war, so it is a good place to take refuge.
"Your Excellency, do you mean that the emperor personally placed us in Ningyuan?" Buyangu quickly thought of another thing, and looked at Li Hongyu with a surprised expression, he never expected to be noticed by Emperor Wanli.
"The emperor has a lot of praise for you, so when the official came, he asked the official to rescue you no matter what, and the official was worried that you would stay here and wait for help, so he had to go there in person.
Li Hongyu nodded when he heard this, and said seriously, "Two generals, don't let down the emperor's expectations." ”
Obviously, Li Hongyu is lying, how could Emperor Wanli pay attention to a frontier barbarian tribe like Yehe when he was busy with national affairs? But in order to persuade Jin Taishi and Buyangu, Li Hongyu could only pull the banner of Tiger Pila, and hoped to persuade the two under the banner of Emperor Wanli.
"Your Excellency, I wonder which route we are taking?" Jin Taishi and Bu Yanggu didn't know that Li Hongyu was telling a white lie, and after the two glanced at each other, Jin Taishi asked with concern.
"Take the grassland, so that you can avoid Jiannu, and at the same time the road is better, and then enter the pass from the Great Wall Pass in Quang Ninh!" Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression, "However, for the sake of the overall situation of Liaodong, one of you will lead the army to follow this official to fight against Jiannu, and this official will not let Jiannu run rampant in Liaodong and do evil." ”
"Your Excellency, this matter is very important, let us go back and discuss it before making a decision." After all, it was a matter of life and death for the Yehe tribe, so Jin Taishi and Buyangu couldn't make up their minds, and they needed to discuss with the patriarch of the Ye He tribe, so Jin Taishi bowed to Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, this official has given you two days, and I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible." Li Hongyu knew that Jin Taishi and Buyangu were not easy to answer him now, so he nodded and agreed.
The east and west cities of Yehebu are divided into two cities, the inner city is inhabited by the families of Jintaishi and Buyangu, and Li Hongyu's noble status naturally cannot be arranged in the outer city, so Jintaishi prepared an elegant courtyard for Li Hongyu in the inner city for him to rest.
"Brother Li, you ...... Are you really the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty? ”
In the living room of the small courtyard, Bahat looked at Li Hongyu nervously, he really couldn't believe that the young Li Hongyu was the new governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.
Ang An, who was sitting on the side, also stared at Li Hongyu with a surprised expression, along the way, Li Hongyu talked and laughed with him and Bahat, without the slightest arrogance, which was different from the Ming officials he had seen, you must know that even a small official was full of officialdom in front of him, showing off his might.
"Bahat Taiji, my lord is really the governor of Liaodong, he is the new champion of the Ming Dynasty this year, so the emperor sent my lord to Liaodong to stabilize the situation." At this time, Man Gui, who was standing behind Li Hongyu, opened his mouth and solemnly explained to Bahat.
"Champion?" Bahat and Ang An couldn't help but glance at each other, a look of surprise on their faces.
They had heard that the champion was the most learned person in the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't expect to appear in front of the two of them now, and they were suddenly impressed by Li Hongyu in their hearts.
Bahat finally understood at this time, why was Li Hongyu able to win Kuba, it turned out that Kuba met the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty, how could he be undefeated?
"Ang'an Taiji, your Zalut Department is the closest to Jiannu, and Jiannu is now flourishing in Liaodong, what are your plans?" Li Hongyu smiled and asked Ang'an, once Houjin has an advantage in Liaodong, then the Zalut Department will be the first to be impacted.
"If it were me, I would definitely join forces with the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Jurchens, the Jurchens' ambitions are too great, and the marriage will not be able to satisfy their appetites at all, and sooner or later they will swallow up the surrounding tribes!"
Ang'an's brows suddenly furrowed when he heard this, and he said to Li Hongyu with a solemn expression, he has always been full of vigilance against Nurhachi, thinking that Nurhachi is a scourge and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Ang'an Taiji, Jiannu is ambitious, it is better for you to prepare in advance." Li Hongyu clearly felt that Ang An didn't have a good impression of Houjin, so he said quietly, "Otherwise, you will lose the opportunity when Houjin makes a move." ”
"Nurhachi's life is really too great, and the nine alliances led by Yehebu failed to kill him back then, but instead caused Belebuzhai of Yehebu to be killed."
Ang'an couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, looked at Li Hongyu and said, "Our Zalut Department is too close to Nurhachi, and there is nowhere to escape if you want to." ”
In September of the twenty-first year of Wanli, Nurhachi and Yehe, the two large Jurchen tribes, finally fought because of conflicts of interest.
At that time, the Yehe tribe united the five divisions of Jurchen Hada, Ula, Huifa, Zhusheli, and Nayin, as well as the three divisions of the Mongolian Horqin, Xibe, and Vorcha, with a total of more than 20,000 troops from nine divisions attacking Nurhachi, and the two sides fought fiercely near the Gule Mountain in the upper reaches of the Hunhe River.
Although the Nine-Division Coalition Army had the advantage in numbers, the result of the fierce battle ended with the killing of Yehebu Belebuzhai and the capture of Ula Beyleb Zhantai.
It is worth mentioning that Belebuzhai, who was killed by Yehebe, was Buyangu's father and Jintaishi's cousin, and it was precisely because Nurhachi personally cut Buzhai in half and sent half of it back, which made the contradiction between the two sides irresolvable.
"Ang Antaiji, in my opinion, if you want to keep the Zalut Ministry, then you must lead your troops out of here and go to the west to avoid Jiannu."
Li Hongyu saw that Ang'an's expression looked a little lost, so he muttered for a while and said, "Otherwise, Jiannu will definitely swallow your Zalut Department." ”
"The governor doesn't know, our five Khalkha departments are in the same spirit, unless we move away together, our Zalut department will not be able to leave." Ang'an's face suddenly showed a depressed expression, and he opened his mouth to explain to Li Hongyu.
The leaders of the five tribes of Inner Khalkha are all brothers of the same ancestor, among which the Uziyat tribe is the suzerainty of the five tribes, and the other four tribes are the leaders of their horses, and the usual actions are the five tribes advancing and retreating together, so the Zarut tribe has no way to leave.
"If you really want to leave, it's not impossible." Li Hongyu saw Ang'an's face of loss, so he smiled and said, in his opinion, this problem is not difficult to solve.
"Governor, what do you do?" Ang An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, he wanted to hear what Li Hongyu had to say, and even Bakht couldn't help but stretch out his ears.
To tell the truth, the position of the Inner Khalkha Department is not good, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies, the Mongolian Horqin Department in the north, the Ming Dynasty in the south, the Jurchen Yehe Department in the east, and the Mongolian Chahar Department in the west.
In particular, the Chahar tribes in the west put tremendous pressure on the Inner Khalkha tribes, forcing them to submit to the strong military power of Lin Dan Khan, so it would be a good choice to move elsewhere.
"Lin Dan Khan is ambitious, he wants to revive the Mongol Khanate, once the exchange market with the Ming Dynasty is opened, he will get abundant funds, and as long as you ask for war to subdue the right-wing Mongol tribes, then Lin Dan Khan will be very happy to support your westward expedition, so that you can take the opportunity to migrate away."
Li Hongyu smiled and methodically said his method, in his opinion, Lin Dan Khan would definitely support their Inner Khalkha tribes to march west, so that he could subdue those tribes who kept commanding.
In fact, Li Hongyu's target is the Mongol tribes of Moxi, since the rise of the Later Jin will be unstoppable, then of course he must find a way to weaken the power of the Later Jin, and the best way is to let the Monan tribes migrate to Moxi in the name of the Western Expedition, avoiding the sphere of influence of the Later Jin.
At the same time, Li Hongyu also wanted to weaken the power of the Mongol tribes in Moxi, and divide their forces while they had not yet formed a great khanate, so as not to be difficult to deal with in the future.
Li Hongyu thought of the "Dzungar Khanate", a great khanate formed by the Mongol tribes in Moxi in the future, and he had to use Monan-Mongol to prevent the birth of a unified Mongol Khanate in Moxi before its formation.
During the Wanli period, the Warat tribes living in Moxi were finally merged into the four major departments of Dzungar, Dulbert, Heshute and Turgot, and the Huite department attached to Dulbert.
The pasturelands of Moxi Mongolia continue to move to the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Kazakh steppe in the northwest, the Ili River basin in the southwest, and Qinghai in the southeast.
At the beginning, the Dzungar tribe was nomadic in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River to the area of the Khobok River and the Sari Mountains, and later centered on the Ili River Basin.
The Dulbert tribe was nomadic along the Irtysh River, the Turghut tribe was originally nomadic in Tarbagatai and its north, and after migrating westward, the Huite tribe lived there, and the Heshute tribe was nomadic on both sides of the Emin River.
Like the southern and northern parts of the desert, the western part of the desert lives together and does not belong to each other.
However, the Mongol tribes had a loose deliberative body, the Churkan, which held regular meetings of the lords' representatives as a temporary organization to coordinate the relations between the various tribes, strengthen feudal rule, and defend against foreign aggression.
"Expedition to the West?" After listening to Li Hongyu's words, Bahat and Ang'an's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but think of the westward expedition of the Mongol army during the period of Genghis Khan.
"That's a good idea." Ang An then nodded, I have to say that Li Hongyu is amazing, since he can think of such a good way to migrate.
It is worth mentioning that the Mongol army often brought their families with them to take care of logistics and other affairs when they were fighting, so as long as the Inner Khalkha troops went west, they could bring many troops to follow them to the west.
Li Hongyu keenly noticed the excited look in the eyes of Bahat and Ang'an, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, it seemed that the "Western Expedition" he just said moved the two.
But it is not easy to talk about the western expedition, such a large military operation must pass through the nod of Lin Dan Khan, otherwise Lin Dan Khan will think that the Inner Khalkha Ministry has betrayed him, so Lin Dan Khan's attitude towards the western expedition is very important.
