If he didn't plan to rebel, Zhang Han didn't want to get into a stalemate with the court now, at least on the surface, he had to maintain the image of a loyal and peaceful courtier.

This time, the reward of the imperial court was to give 5,000 silver medals, hundreds of silk tables, and 1,000 taels of silver to Zhang Hanyin, who was promoted from the governor of Tongzhi to the governor of Zuo, and at the same time added honors and ranks to the Zuozhuguo and hussar generals, and also Yin One son commanded Tongzhi for Tianchengwei, and the other son commanded the affairs.

In this way, the official position, the honor, the grace, the whole set of things have been completed.

If you don't consider Zhang Han's own position or the commander of the palm prints of Tianchengwei and Zhenyu and the garrison officer of Tiancheng Acropolis, the imperial court has actually done it quite well, such an official position and honor, and one step further can only be knighted, I don't know how many chief military officers, such as Ma Chengen, there is no shadow post now, his shadow position is handed down by the ancestors of the Ma family, not earned by himself, in addition, Ma Chengen is the chief military officer of Yansui Town, but his official position in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is only the governor of the same knowledge, and there are still several steps to go from the best position of the military attache of the Zuo Governor.

As for the knighthood that the military attache is most looking forward to, of course, it is impossible, and the crown prince and the prince have not been honored. However, the imperial court was originally stingy with the name, and some of the current honors, such as the military attachΓ©'s upper guard, the scattered hussar general, and the general Jinwu are gone.

Once there is an exact promotion channel, it means that many generals can get the top ranks, and if they make new contributions, the court will have to take out the title of Hou Count to reward, once the generals have a knighthood, it means that they can be on an equal footing with civil officials, and things will be troublesome.

It would be good to adopt a vague and uncertain approach, preferably not even to confer loose ranks and honorable officers, but at most the positions of the governors of the five armies to determine the rank of military attachΓ©s.

This will contains a lot of things, and what Zhang Han felt this time was not the hostility of any faction of civilian officials towards him, but the precaution and hostility transmitted by the entire civilian official group.

The young civil official in front of him should have been specially singled out, and he must be the kind that is domineering and very proud, Zhang Han was already mentally prepared and planned to look at the other party's chin and speak.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shiqi also hugged his fists, and took the initiative to bend down, and said, "Xiaguan has seen Master Zhang." ”

"I've seen Master Zhang." A group of literati staff around those who have a person or a talent also bowed down on the side.

Everyone including Zhang Han looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

……

After sending off the envoy and the team, Zhang Han and Li Shenming retreated left and right and talked secretly at Li Shenming's residence.

Zhang Han looked around and said, "Brother Zunlu still pays attention to enjoyment, this place is much more comfortable than my residence." ”

Li Shenming is also from a family, and he will not treat himself badly when he runs around, except for the bed where he sleeps, most of the rest are pulled by carts, everything is very exquisite, and it is not comparable to the rich man here in Beiyu.

Li Shenming snorted and said: "You are a descendant of Fengpan Gong, and there are few people in Shanxi Province who are stronger than your family background, so you just make yourself like a martial artist, and you are not particular about Ma Chengen, you can't blame others for this, you can only blame yourself." ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "I'll just praise it, Brother Zunlu is a car back, it seems that we won't be able to chat in the future." ”

"Where is there time to talk?" Li Shenming frowned and said, "It seems that I am going to the north once, and it will take a month or two to come back." ”

Zhang Han said quietly: "You mean to go to the alliance with the three khans of Mobei?" ”

"That's right." Li Shenming said: "Sun Xiaozheng is not here, do you have other suitable candidates?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhang Han smiled and said, "Although Brother Zunlu is the best to do, this time I don't have to work for you." ”

Li Shenming lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It seems that Wen Lan plans to go by himself, but in this case, will Mobei despise us because of this?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhang Han said categorically: "The Huntsman Battalion, the Lancer Regiment, and the First Cavalry Regiment all go north with me." Lined up in military formations, set up more banners, and joined me to form an alliance with the three khans of Mobei. I will meet them before the battle and reassure them. ”

"Good." Li Shenming praised: "Oppression by force, and then sweet words, Wen Lan treats the three khans of Mobei as a little lady, so do you not throw yourself into your arms?" ”

"It's easy." Li Shenming said again: "Many people may understand the truth, but like Wen Lan, who can quickly make up his mind and do it immediately, can pick out the best way in the chaotic situation, this is Yingming's teaching." ”

Zhang Han actually just felt that he didn't have to delay things back and forth, and he also planned to take a look at the business roads in Mobei in person, this time he would also bring the giants of the company such as Ma Ren and Li Dayong, and Liang Xing would also follow, and then he would make an alliance with the Three Khans, and by the way, the trade exchange point with the Russians was given...... In fact, I didn't think it was so complicated, but when Li Shenming said this, I was naturally a little proud in my heart.

Zhang Han thought for a while and said: "Winter will soon begin, and the Military Orders Department and the General Staff Department will draw up a winter garrison and training plan according to the battle situation, and the other is to formulate an operational plan for next spring. ”

Li Shenming asked: "Is Mingchun going to use troops against the set and Ordos?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Han said: "These two places occupy the most fertile land in the Hetao region, how can they just let them occupy it easily, and then talk about it first, at least they can get the profits of trade." In addition, after obtaining these two places, we can go to the Western Regions, first mix through the caravan and a small number of troops, and see the specific situation before deciding whether to fight or not. ”

The situation in the Western Regions is completely different from that year, the current Western Regions is the territory of the Oirat Mongols and the Yarkand Mongols, and several important ethnic groups in Xinjiang in later generations are still subdued by the Mongols of various tribes, completely unable to move, there were originally dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, and now they no longer exist, either they belong to the rule of several Mongol khanates, and are now occupied by the Russians, or they are the territory of the four Oirats and the territory of the four Oirats from Qinghai to Tibet also belong to the Lazang Khan and are divided into several tribes, such as the Gelug sect. The Guge tribe, the Ladakh tribe, and the Qiangtang tribes, they don't have a lot of Dingkou, and in addition, the tribes of the original countries in the Western Regions actually still live there, and if you talk about the number of Dingkou, it must be far away from the grassland.

Li Shenming said: "The situation over there is very complicated, and there are many Dingkou, according to my will, don't go in until you have a fairly strong force, stop in the west, and do business with the Oirats and the people of the Western Regions, open up this trade route, and the profits are not small." ”

Zhang Han was thoughtful and did not immediately agree.

The western border of the Ming Dynasty had expanded to the Western Regions at the beginning of the country, but now Hamiwei and Shazhouwei have been owned by the Eastern Yarkand Khanate, the border of the Khanate established by the Mongolian nobles who believed in Islam has reached Jiayuguan, and after leaving the customs is the territory of the Yarkand Khanate, the territory of the original Tang Dynasty Beiting Protectorate in the north is the Oirat Mongol tribes, and now the Oirat Mongols are much stronger than the Mongolian steppe tribes, and they have been expanding their territory, until a few decades later, The Qing Dynasty is from Kangxi to Yongzheng Qianlong three dynasties have been at war with the Geldan Department of the Oirat Mongols, the Qing army has been fighting with the Oirat Mongols with the support of the entire Chinese power and the northern Mongolian tribes, and the Oirats have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, until Qianlong could not bear it and ordered the slaughter of more than 100,000 tribes of the Geldan Mongol tribe, until then, the native ethnic groups of the Western Regions were free from the rule of the Mongols and stood on their own, However, by that time, their original cultural heritage had almost been destroyed, and in fact it was not the same as their ancestors.

Thinking of the situation outside Jiayu Pass, even those who are determined to be as strong as Zhang Han are also sighing, the native people, the Mongolians who believe in Islam, the Mongolians who believe in Buddhism, and the Tibetans of the Gelug sect, these groups of people are divided into large and small forces, love and kill each other, and the forces are complex and entangled like capillaries, after the Qing Dynasty took over the territory of China, there was also a period of enterprising and expansion of the emerging dynasty, and sure enough, they encountered a lot of trouble here, and the war lasted until the Qianlong period, and it was really stable for less than a hundred years, and they met Lao Maozi westward, If it weren't for Zuo Zongtang carrying the coffin into Xinjiang, I am afraid that this piece of land that has been belonging to China for thousands of years would have to be lost at least more than half.

However, the temptation of going north to the grassland, after all, is not as big as recovering the Western Regions, the grassland place, to be fair, except for the Tang Dynasty established the capital and the state, most of the time the dynasty established by the Han nation has not established effective rule over it, this is not like the Western Regions, any unified dynasty will enter the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, the two Han Dynasty and the Jin, and then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions has been firmly controlled under the rule of the Central Dynasty, for two thousand years, the Central Dynasty has the Western Regions when it is strong, and it is lost after the civil strife is weakened, It can be said that the Western Regions is the touchstone of the dynasty, and the Song people even lost Xiazhou and Yinzhou, and completely lost the Hexi Corridor, the pedal to enter the Western Regions, not to mention the territory of the entire Western Regions, no matter how rich it is, it is still called the Weak Chicken Dynasty.

At the beginning of the dynasty, it advanced to Hami, Shazhou, Guazhou, and was considered to have occupied the Hexi Corridor, and the front of the army pointed to the Western Regions, and canonized many nobles in the Wusizang area, and established the Wusizang Command Envoy and Duoganwei Command Envoy. Although it did not actually rule, it was considered a fetter, which provided a legal basis for the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to occupy Tibet.

However, when the Ming Dynasty was the strongest, it was just like this, and now even the Hetao place has been lost, if Zhang Han first recovers the Hetao, and then gets involved in Shazhou and Guazhou, and waits for the western half of the Hexi Corridor to recover the Western Regions, this feat is really comparable to the emperor.
