Chapter 107: Surrender to the South
Zhu Ao was also infected by their pride, why didn't the man take Wu Hook, lead 100,000 iron horsemen, crisscross the region, drink the Danube River, how magnificent! Said loudly: "After the founding of this king, Zhong Aiqing will not give up, and is willing to follow this king to operate miserably, this love will always be in the heart of this king, and it will not be lost!" Judge the verdict, you go on. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of heroes is obvious to everyone, and Zhu Ao doesn't want people to think that he is the same as his Lao Tzu, which will make your ministers very insecure.
Hearing Zhu Ao's words, the ministers all sat back in place in peace, only Guan Ziyu was still standing outside the shift, and after making a gesture, he continued: "I am in the south of the country, the remnants of Qinghai Mongolia, their forces are weak and scattered, and they do not pose a huge threat to me, plus there is a towering Qilian Mountain between us and them, no matter who wants to attack anyone, it is not an easy task, so we should take an attitude of valuing peace to them for the time being." ”
"After His Royal Highness defeated the thieves of the Western Domain from Jiuquan City, the Mongolian tribes of Qinghai were deeply shocked by the thunderous power of the king, and have sent an envoy to sue for peace, expressing their willingness to be the vassals of our country, and the minister suggested that they should be promised first, so as to remove the threat to the south of our country."
"The Hulu in the north is the Warat Department, although there is a certain amount of power, but after all, it is not a descendant of Temujin, but a tribe with him who has a hereditary marriage, after the destruction of the Northern Yuan, Wara got rid of the suppression of the Yuan court and began to work hard to develop their own power, but they are now not a mortal threat to us, we can completely defend the northern frontier by relying on the pier platform and the Great Wall."
"Therefore, we should adopt a strategy of defending the Warat, after all, the northern desert is vast and thousands of miles, and the Central Plains has been invaded by the northern captives since the Qin and Han dynasties. Even if we defeat them temporarily, it won't be long before they recover again, and we will never be able to completely destroy them. ”
"Our real threat lies to the west, and the king of Hami has been very reluctant since his last defeat, and his ministers have received reports that he has been thinking about revenge all day long, and even thinking of borrowing troops from the Uighurs. The mighty Uighurs have been in existence for more than 100 years, and they are always coveting the wealth of our country, and if the Uighurs subdue Hami, they will surely lead troops to invade. The minister heard that the Uighurs had more than 200,000 elite soldiers, and I am afraid that the less than 100,000 soldiers of our country will be difficult to resist at that time. Therefore, our top priority is to take Hami, block the mountain passes of the Uighurs advancing eastward, and take advantage of the situation of the Tianshan Mountains. Then we should step up the development of our strength in order to destroy the Uighurs in the future. ”
The ministers present nodded again and again and said yes, no one dares to underestimate this down-and-out talent anymore, Zhu Ao nodded again and again with great satisfaction, Guan Ziyu's talent is enough to prove his knowledge of people, the value of this Luhua, and said with a smile: "Bing Cao's judgment is really talented, and in just a few words, the development prospects of my Su country have been outlined, which is really a blessing from God to this king." ”
The official Cao Jushu Ji Jun took a step forward and lost no time in patting his ass: "This is all because His Royal Highness has the wisdom to know people, and he has selected the great talent of Lord Guan among the many candidates for the examination. ”
This sycophant was just right, and there was no trace, which coaxed Zhu Ao not only to laugh, Ji Jun glanced at Ji Jun with a very resentful eye with Zhang Wenyuan, who was judging the Hu Cao next to him, and scolded secretly: Fuck, Lao Tzu was going to say this, but I didn't expect to be preempted by your kid.
This discussion between the monarchs and ministers set the future national policy of Su Guo, with only six short words: south peace, north guard, and west expansion.
In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the largest force among the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai, the Yuan Dynasty Qi Wang Duo'er, sent an envoy to Zhangye to ask Zhu Ao to surrender. This fully proves Guan Ziyu's judgment, since Zhu Ao broke the thieves of the Western Domain, Qinghai Mongolia is afraid of him like a tiger, and he no longer dares to make any changes.
In accordance with the established strategy formulated before, Zhu Ao ceremoniously received the envoys of Duo'er Zhiban.
Under the guidance of the Licao receiving officer, the envoy of Duo'er only class respectfully walked into the hall used by Zhu Ao, and when he was still twenty steps away from Zhu Ao, he knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed, and said: "The envoy of the late Yuanqi King Mo suddenly knocked to see His Highness, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”
Every king likes to enjoy this feeling of surrender of all nations, Zhu Ao is no exception, although now there is only one Duo'er only class to express surrender, but a good start is half the success, I don't feel happy in my heart, and I smiled proudly: "Calm down, it's really hard for the messenger to come from afar." ”
Mo suddenly raised his head, but still knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Highness, on the orders of my master, I came to meet Your Highness and express my obedience." The master of my family is willing to surrender to the country with all the tribes, and suppress the disobedience of Qinghai on behalf of His Highness, and I also ask His Highness for his permission. ”
This result is the best, Zhu Ao's heart is happy, it has been a good thing recently, but his expression has not changed in the slightest, and he still said with a straight look: "Duo'er is only willing to return to the Heavenly Dynasty and serve the Heavenly Dynasty, which shows his loyalty and filial piety, is this king not allowed?" This king named him the commander of Huangshuiwei, and he was hereditary. ”
This sentence shows that Mo Suer's mission has been completed, this grassland man seemed very excited, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said with a red face: "Thank you, Your Highness, from now on, my master will definitely get rid of his old title, and call him the commander of the Ming Su Guo Huang Shui Wei, and serve His Royal Highness for generations!" ”
"Good, good, good." Zhu Ao nodded with great satisfaction, which indicated that his south side would not be attacked again for the time being, and he could concentrate on dealing with the enemies on the west and north sides, and said with a smile: "The messenger has worked hard, and the herald inn is good to receive students, and he must not be lazy." Step aside. ”
Mo suddenly kowtowed his head again, and said loudly with great excitement: "Your Highness Xie, the minister is proud to be a part of the Su Kingdom!" ”
Zhu Ao smiled faintly, this fart was comfortable, and waved his hand to signal him to step back. Mo suddenly kowtowed and retired under the guidance of the usher.
After Mo suddenly walked out of the main hall, Zhu Ao said very happily: "In this way, the Hulu in the south don't have to worry for the time being, we just need to do a good job of guarding the north and advancing west." Do you have specific countermeasures? ”
It was still the soldier Cao Judge Guan Ziyu who was the first to stand up, and it was his duty to make suggestions for national defense, plus he was in the limelight last time, this time he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and consolidate his position in the heart of the prince, so he made a gesture and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that the current strength of my Su country is still good, and it is difficult to focus on the north and the west at the same time." There are Longshou Mountain, Heli Mountain, and Horsehair Mountain in the north of our Su country, although it is not as dangerous as Qilian Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it can also be used as a natural barrier, we only need to mobilize the people, build castles and piers according to the mountain, we can hold on to the danger, save troops to concentrate on dealing with the western thieves. ”
