Chapter 794: Whatever You Say You Have to Fight (Still a Big Chapter)
Speaking of the third lady, her life is legendary, once married to three Tumut Khan, and as a woman, now as a woman, in charge of Tumut's power for more than ten years, in the history of Tatar, only once raised Dayan Khan and helped the Golden Family successfully regain the position of the Mongol Khan can be compared.
The original name of the three ladies was Ye'er Ketu Hatun, is the daughter of the leader of the Turghut tribe, Zheheng Ahha, when Altan Khan was powerful, once famous in the grassland, the Turghut tribe in order to marry the Tumut tribe, then married the three ladies to the eldest grandson of Altan Khan, Khan Naji, but on the night of the wedding, Altan Khan saw that the three ladies were young and beautiful, so they had lust and wanted to be included in the account.
It should be said that this kind of thing is completely unthinkable in the Central Plains, and the leader of the dignified Tumut, Altan Khan, who is famous in the steppe, would have lusted for his granddaughter-in-law.
But it is a pity that there is a Tatar, a people of the steppe, who have always been honored with fists, and Altan Khan is the supreme leader of Tumut, so all the things of Tumut, women, children, slaves, all belong to him.
So he not only thought about it, but he did it, and that very night, despite everyone's opposition, he put the third lady in the account, and all the people, despite the opposition, no one dared to really raise an objection, because that person was Altan Khan.
All those who dare to rebel against him have become a delicacy for the wolves!
However, although no one dared to resist, there were people who dared to be angry, and this person was Khan Naji, the husband of the third lady who was supposed to marry.
Khan Naji is the eldest grandson of Altan Khan, and his father Tiebeitai died in the war with other tribes in his early years, so Khan Naji has been raised by Altan Khan's side and is deeply favored by Altan Khan.
But today, it was his respected grandfather who gave him endless humiliation, which made Khan Naji unacceptable, so he made a bold decision to take refuge in Daming!
At that time, the Ming and Tatars were still in a state of hostility, so at the same time when Khan Naji arrived in Datong, he was detained, and on the other side, although Altan Khan liked the three ladies, he was not stupid, and Khan Naji was not only his favorite grandson, but also the future heir of Tumut, and he could not let Khan Naji be held hostage by Daming.
So after a long war, the two sides finally took this opportunity to start peace talks, and finally Altan Khan agreed to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, while the Ming Dynasty needed to open the mutual market and return the Khan Naji, which was known as the tribute of the Ming Dynasty.
Since then, the border of Daming has been stable for a long time......
Of course, this is something recorded in the history books, Zhu Changluo is the emperor, he can naturally see more confidential, more unspeakable secrets, for example, a whole Altan tribute, just a tacit compromise between the Ming Dynasty and Altan Khan.
If you think about it a little, you will know that in fact, in the above story, there are many illogical places, even if the steppe people do not pay attention to ethics and morality, but who is Altan Khan, the leader of the dignified Tumut, what kind of woman does he want, Zhu Changluo believes that if Khan Naji did not ask to marry the third lady, but Altan Khan himself asked to marry, then the Turghut tribe would definitely happily send the third lady over, and he had no need to rob someone on the spot on the wedding night, and it was to rob his grandson's wife.
And when Khan Naji was robbed of his wife, he either swallowed his anger or fought back, but he didn't, but instead ran to the territory of the hostile Daming, which was like sending hostages to the door!
In fact, this seemingly accidental farce was directed and acted by Altan Khan from beginning to end, with the aim of ending the war for many years.
In fact, Altan Khan fought from the beginning of the war, in order to force the Ming Dynasty to open the mutual market, from the beginning of the war to the beginning of the Altan tribute, he never gave up this effort, but helplessly, even though the Emperor Sejong at that time was obsessed with the elixir, but he saw the border affairs clearly, and the biggest concession he gave was to open the horse markets in Datong and Xuanfu, and strictly limited the types and quantities of the mutual market.
But these insignificant materials are completely unable to satisfy Tumut's appetite, so I have been looking for an opportunity to completely open up the mutual market to the Ming Dynasty.
Until one day, he learned the news that the stubborn, pill-loving, and Taoist emperor had died, and his son, a mild-mannered and lazy emperor who did not like to be troubled, and even less like to fight, ascended the throne.
So he actively proposed a collegiate discussion with Da Ming again, but to his surprise, he was still ruthlessly refused!
He was angry, but more puzzled, why? Why did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty obviously don't like to fight, but he still had to fight?
Then there was one more woman beside him, and this woman was the third lady!
In fact, the third lady is not only the princess of Turgot, she also has a layer of identity, that is, Altan Khan's niece, her mother, is Altan Khan's twin sister!
Sanniangzi is different from other Mongolian women, she began to learn the culture of the Han people when she was a child, so she understands the way of thinking of the Han people and understands the reasons for Altan Khan's frustration.
She told Altan Khan that the Han people are a suspicious people, but also a people who pay attention to grievances, and they like to pay attention to one thing, which is called reputation.
Tumut and the Ming Dynasty have been at war for many years, and thousands of soldiers have died on both sides, and at this time they proposed peace, and the soldiers of the Han people would definitely not agree, not to mention, the Han people were very wary of foreigners, and they would not believe in the "good intentions" of Altan Khan to sue for peace.
So in order for them to agree to the collegiate, they need a name......
What name? Altan Khan understood, but he couldn't think of a way, and he really couldn't understand the way of thinking of the Han people.
So the third lady gave him another idea to make a farce of taking his wife, so that the Han people could think that they had the upper hand, and only in this way would they rest assured that they would negotiate peace with Tumut.
Altan Khan readily agreed, so there was the historical Altan tribute!
Zhu Changluo saw these inside information in the secret history of the palace, and the truth of my answer to the tribute, in fact, the Ming court has long known, but as the third lady expected, the Ming Dynasty did not want to fight, and Emperor Muzong's control of the border was far less persistent than Emperor Sejong.
All they need is an opportunity, a name, and the three ladies just gave both sides this title, as for Khan Naji, he is just a pawn and a puppet, he is not the heir of Tumut at all, but an incompetent and cowardly eldest son.
Zhu Changluo still remembers how complicated his mood was when he saw this secret note, who would have thought that such a major event related to the fate of the two countries would come from the mouth of a young girl, which shows how deep the scheming city is for the third lady......
And in this huge confrontation, the third lady is undoubtedly one of the ultimate beneficiaries, she became the wife of Altan Khan, Kedun of the Tumut tribe.
But this was only the beginning of her life, and she was only twenty years old that year! And Altan Khan is already sixty-four years old!
After Altan Khan's body also entered the twilight of his life, many years of southern and northern wars made him sick, and the three ladies began to slowly take over the affairs of the Tumut Ministry, so ten years passed, Altan Khan died, and his son Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne.
But at this moment, the three ladies have already held the power within Tumut, although Huang Taiji is called the Great Khan, but there is no actual power, so soon after, Tumut has a coup d'Γ©tat, Huang Taiji asked the three ladies to marry themselves to become the new Kedun in accordance with the ancient Mongolian rules of father and son, in order to receive the power in the hands of the three women.
But how could the third lady obey her fate? So in the second year, the third lady led his cronies and cavalry, surrounded the city of Bansheng, and fought fiercely for nearly five months, and finally Huang Taiji sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, and the third lady made a slight concession and agreed to marry Huang Taiji, but the actual power was still firmly in the hands of the third lady.
And now the Great Khan of Tumut, named Pullik, is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, five years after marrying the third lady, Huang Taiji lingered on the sickbed and died, but it was in this short five years that he and the third lady had a son, named Bu He was rude, the third lady originally wanted to let his son inherit Huang Taiji's throne, but because he was too young, so he failed to do so, but there is no doubt that even if Tuo Lik successfully ascended to the Khan throne, but the core power of Tumut, It's still in the hands of the three ladies!
But now, the third lady is missing, and it is said that she is missing on the way to Daming......
"Your Majesty, there is a deception in this!"
After a moment of silence, Magui spoke.
"The minister once had a relationship with the three ladies, this person is indeed very yearning for the Ming Dynasty, and has been actively reconciling with my Daming, but within Tumut, there is no shortage of opposing voices, the strongest of which is the former Khan Huang Taiji of Tumut, and the reason why Tulik was able to succeed to the throne smoothly is precisely because of Huangtaiji Libao, so the minister suspects that the disappearance of the three ladies this time is inseparable from Tulik! As long as the three ladies can be found, the border peace of Daming can be restored......"
"Will peace be restored to the borders?"
Zhu Changluo narrowed his eyes and repeated lightly, but a faint trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This matter is within the scope of Jinyiwei, General Magui, as a military general, thinks about how to fight!"
In fact, when he just saw the military report, Zhu Changluo roughly understood what happened, all changes in power have always been uncalm, and this time the disappearance of the third lady is probably the same.
Like Ma Gui's judgment, Zhu Changluo also felt that the rash disappearance of the third lady must be inseparable from Tu Lik, but Zhu Changluo didn't agree with Ma Gui's last sentence.
Now that the tranquility of the border has been broken, how can it simply be restored to the original peace?
What's more, even if the third lady is indeed sincerely attached to Daming, what about Lin Dan?
The third lady didn't have an accident early or late, Lin Dan had just arrived at the Tumut Department, and the third lady disappeared inexplicably, saying that there was nothing to do with it, Zhu Changluo categorically didn't believe it.
And behind Lin Dan is the Chahar Ministry!
That is to say, even if the third lady is found, what Daming has to face is the Chahar Department.
What's more, the big war has started, how can anyone stop it, even if Tumut wants to withdraw at this moment, Zhu Changluo may not be willing!
Raising troops to invade the territory and slaughtering soldiers and civilians for no reason, this is simply throwing Daming's face on the ground and stepping on it, if they are just allowed to leave, what face does Zhu Changluo have to continue to sit on the throne.
So this battle must be fought, and it must be fought well, it must be won, and it must be won beautifully!
"Yes!"
Seeing that the emperor's face suddenly turned cold, Ma Gui suddenly realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and hurriedly lowered his head and said.
Zhu Changluo waved his hand and spoke.
"It's okay, General Magui, I have already discussed with the gentlemen of the cabinet, this war, with General Magui as the main general and General Li Rusong as the deputy general, lead an army of 100,000 and go to Datong!"
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Ma Gui and Li Rusong glanced at each other and immediately bowed down.
"Of these 80,000 people, I will transfer 10,000 from each of the five major military towns such as Yulin and Gansu, and then transfer 50,000 from the rear, a total of 100,000 troops, and now we are already on the way to Datong, in addition, this expedition, I will transfer the 20,000 troops of the Shenji Battalion to Aiqing's command, as for the 10,000 cavalry I promised, I will send them to Datong in a month! There is also military spending, the military expenses of this war Aiqing don't have to worry, I can give as much silver as I want, there is only one requirement, play the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, two generals, may it be done? β
Camp Divine Machine?
Ma Gui was shocked, you know, the current three battalions are extraordinary, after today's determined reform, now it can be regarded as the elite of the elite, I didn't expect this war, the emperor was willing to send the Shenji battalion!
At the same time, Ma Gui finally realized that Jinshang's determination for this battle was ......
"Minister, you will be a big Tartar and return triumphantly, please rest assured Your Majesty!"
But the more this is the case, the more excited Ma Gui becomes, just ask a qualified general, who doesn't want to take an invincible team to fight a vigorous victory!
At that moment, the two of them clasped their fists and saluted, and replied.
Zhu Changluo nodded and said.
"Good! I waited for the good news of the two generals, this expedition, I sent two generals to two people, one is Liang Yong, the commander of the East Factory, he will serve as the supervisor of the expedition, but the two generals rest assured, he will not interfere in military affairs, only responsible for the supervision of logistics and intelligence exploration, if there is a need for Jinyi Wei or the need to inquire about intelligence, the two generals can find him! β
On the side, Liang Yong arched his hand and said.
"I've seen two generals! Our family must cooperate well with the two generals and live up to Your Majesty's grace! β
"This is the second person I have sent to the two generals! Zhao Shizhen, the left deputy general of the Shenji Battalion! β
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Changluo motioned for Liang Yong to step back, and at the same time, the man in the python robe who had been behind Zhu Changluo stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Zhao Shizhen, I've seen two generals!"
As soon as this person came forward, Ma Gui didn't react, but Li Rusong gasped.
No wonder, he has been wondering who is qualified to stand by the emperor's side, if he remembers correctly, the history of the palace chief at the time of the palace is named Zhao Shizhen, but the strange thing is that after the succession to the throne, this palace chief Shi disappeared inexplicably, but it turned out that he was hidden in this place by Jinshang, but what he didn't understand was that this person inexplicably became the left deputy general of the Shenji Battalion......
"Two generals, the Shenji Battalion has recently used a lot of new firearms, all of which were developed by Zhao Aiqing, this time, when the cavalry troops have not arrived, the two generals may wish to try the Shenji Battalion, but when the Shenji Battalion is used, it is necessary to seek Zhao Aiqing's opinion, I believe that the two generals will receive unexpected results!"
As if seeing the doubts of the two, Zhu Changluo smiled and said with a mysterious expression......
