Chapter 803: Emulating the Sages, Han Wu Story
Hua Dang heard that his body was cold, but what Zhengde said was a little hot, so he made a gesture, and then the manpower electric fan turned again, and the equipment was still the same equipment, but the person who contributed had changed, and this time it was a fat man who went into battle shirtless. [Full text reading]
This thing made Hua Dang a little dizzy, but what was even more deafening was what Zhengde said next.
With the cool breeze, a satisfied smile appeared on the young man's face, and he only heard him Shi Shiran say: "The easiest way is to make the shepherds on the grassland disappear completely・・・・・・"
“… "Don't mention the horror in the heart of the flower, exterminate the grassland dead race?" It's really unthinkable, even the first emperor of great talent only built the Great Wall, trying to keep the grassland aliens out of the pass, without considering this kind of anti-heaven means.
"Of course, although I haven't done it, I can't be sure that I can't do it, but it is indeed a very troublesome thing to completely kill all the grassland people, the grassland desert is so big, there are too many places to hide." Zhengde sighed, looking a little bored, but in Hua Dang's eyes, he felt that the other party's image was so powerful and domineering.
"If you don't kill all of them, it's also a way to let them be attached, but you can't use the previous model, the entire tribe's attachment is just a matter of raising tigers, and the tribe must be broken up and let them completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty. However, the two Tartars and Warat have committed many crimes, and I do not intend to give them this opportunity to deal with some bloody executioners, only swords and axes. ”
This sentence is murderous, and Hua Dang is also secretly frightened in his heart, looking at this posture, the scale of this northern expedition is not small.
Zhengde turned his head, smiled at Hua Dang, and said with relief: "Duoyan has always been loyal and diligent, and he is considered his own person, but I can open the net, and when the time is ripe in a few years, I can open this special case." ”
"We・・・・・・ thank you, Lord Longen." Hua Dang didn't feel comforted at all, but his heart was full of bitterness.
In the past two years, he has secretly thought about the choices and circumstances of Duoyan Sanwei, especially after last year's Yingzhou War, this matter has become a thorn in his heart. How can you allow others to snore next to the couch, Liaodong is no longer what it used to be, regardless of wealth and military strength, with Xie Hong's strength, it is difficult to maintain the original relatively equal relationship.
Attached, this thought has always been in his mind. In fact, theoretically speaking, Duoyan Sanwei was already in an attached state, and the leaders of the three departments were all sealed by the Ming Dynasty, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty was not as tense as the two neighbors in the west, which were very similar to the tribes such as the Southern Xiongnu attached in history.
However, after dealing with Xie Hong a few times, Hua Dang also knows very well that this cheap son-in-law is not the kind of person who only cares about face, and he also takes national affairs more seriously than private affairs.
But Rao is like this, for the kind of attachment method that Zhengde said, Hua Dang is not mentally prepared enough, and he is not very reluctant.
For ordinary herdsmen, it is already a good thing to surpass their dreams to settle in the Central Plains and say goodbye to the life of eating and sleeping in the open; And for Hua Dang, it is good to go to a prosperous place, the tribe is scattered, his power is gone, and the power is difficult to give up, so although he knows that this is a good way, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
In the past, he didn't need to worry about such a problem, because it was impossible for Da Ming to make such a request. If you want to move inward, you have to distribute the land, now is not the time of the founding of the country, there will be a situation where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is too late for the gentry to annex the land, and where will they be willing to distribute the land to foreign tribes, but now the situation is pressing, the emperor Chrysostom said, open the mouth can not be refused, not to mention, according to the meaning of Zhengde, it seems to be to follow the example of Chengzu, to adopt the most drastic strategy on the grassland. Now if he doesn't comply, maybe he will be included in the first batch of targets, after all, Duoyan Sanwei is close, and his cheap son-in-law is an unsympathetic ... ・・・Huadang made a very difficult choice, but Zhengde didn't even look at him, just said to himself: "These two methods were thought up by me, although they are very direct and very relieving, but they are indeed a little troublesome, fortunately, there is a big brother, so there is this perfect solution." ”
Only resignedly, Hua Dang glanced at Zhengde, and found that the young man's face was complacent, and he had no dissatisfaction with his own opinions, and secretly said in his heart: Although the emperor is not in tune, he is a person who can accept advice and has the amount to accommodate people, which is not bad, but ・・・・・・ he glanced at Xie Hong again, and his heart is still worried, this is not a good stubble, the suggestions he put forward may not be as direct as the emperor, but Bacheng will be a little more bizarre, of course, the effect may be very unexpected.
"Hua Aiqing, do you know Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
"Weichen knows・・・・・・" Zhengde's question was a little sudden, Hua Dang was slightly stunned, but the answer was like a stream. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already very famous, coupled with Xie Hong's activity in recent years, even if he didn't know it before, he has heard of it now. Duoyan Sanwei has been plagued for so long, how can you not inquire about the allusion of the champion Hou?
"Then what Emperor Wu of Han did, you should know, right?" Zhengde asked again.
"Wechen ・・・・・・ know." Hua Dang nodded blankly, unable to figure out what Zhengde's intentions were. Speaking of which, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is really a bit similar to the two in front of him, the style of the two emperors is very tough, and the records of the two champions are also amazing, especially the strength of the foreign race, which is simply the same.
"Now, I plan to do the same thing as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, that is, ・・・・・・" Zhengde waved his hand and said loudly: "Drive away all the tribes on the grassland and let them go to the west, ha, how about it, this idea is very interesting, right?" ”
"Huh?" Hua dang's jaw almost fell to the ground, what kind of rotten idea is this, it's not more reliable than killing them all!
Yes, the ancestors of the Mongols once went west, but that was under certain circumstances. At that time, they integrated all the forces on the grassland, expanded rapidly, and in the process of destroying Jin, they obtained the advanced technology of the Central Plains, and the Golden Horde occupied the richest Central Plains, and the other departments could only find their own way out, which led to the Western Expedition.
But now? Not to mention the khanates in the Western Regions that have long been self-contained and cut off from the pillars, even if it is the king's tent, it is actually divided into three parts, and each part is divided into a number of reading forces.
Expedition to the West? How could it be done!
"Hua Aiqing, why do you have such an expression?" Zhengde frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't you think my strategy is not good and don't want to cooperate?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare," noticing his gaffe, Hua Dang hurriedly bowed down and apologized, "Wechen is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he is willing to serve His Majesty, but Wechen really doesn't know how to make the Tatars and Warats raise the idea of going west, and how to implement it・・・・・・"
If Zhengde doesn't mention the matter of cooperation, Hua Dang won't say the worries behind, this monarch wants to play, just let them go, the Tatar side is not going well, and the things attached to the Duoyan Department must also be shelved. But now, Zhengde kept asking him to cooperate, so he had to say that he didn't want to get involved in this whimsical plan in a daze.
"It's very simple, hit, hit until they are scared and realize that a catastrophe is coming, they will naturally not continue to fall in love." Zhengde waved his hand, slammed everything down, and said viciously: "That's what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did, he crossed the Qilian Mountain, and hit the edge of the desert, and the Huns were beaten out of breath, and finally they could only flee westward. ”
"That being said・・・・・・" Hua Dang thought nervously in her heart. If the Ming army goes all out to the north, there is the aftermath of the Yingzhou War, and a few more victories, Tatar and Warat are indeed likely to be shaken, and on this basis, they will find a way to release the rumors of the western expedition, which may not be as Zhengde wishes.
But the problem is that the Mongols are not Huns, and the latter has never traveled far away, so they still have a sense of expectation from the outside world. But the Mongols have seen the world, the west is barren, the north is a bitter cold land, and the locals are not very easy to mess with...... There are many versions of the legends outside, but according to the old legends of the Duoyan Department, the Western Expeditionary Army was defeated in the end.
Although the Western Expeditionary Army was not the main force of the Mongols, it was after all the army of the Golden Horde in its heyday, although the number was small, and the fierce place was not under the elite soldiers of the King's Horde today. Thousands of miles of migration, all the way to the danger of countless dangers, even to reach the destination, is life and death is uncertain・・・・・・ with the Ming Dynasty now, and the predictable results, I am afraid that the Tatars can not make up their minds, desperate. Compared with the western expedition, the Tatars are probably more willing to play hide and seek with the Ming army in the grassland, even if they can't turn the tables, they can have a hope.
"Hide and seek?" Zhengde smiled, "That's up to them, this plan will not be implemented in the short term, but the effect will be seen soon, a foundation will be laid this year, and it will be invalid next year." What Hua Aiqing has to do is to let out the rumors as much as possible, do a good job of foreshadowing, and when the time is ripe, she can make contributions in one fell swoop. ”
As he spoke, he pointed out on the sand table, "Tomorrow, 50,000 guards will be pulled, 30,000 veterans who have experienced the battle of Yingzhou, and 20,000 new soldiers, passing through Xuanzhen, passing through Datong, stationed in the mouth of the tiger, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, they will march north, and then build a city here・・・・・・" He pointed all the way, and finally nodded in a place northeast of Hetao.
"This city, I will name it naturalization, and stationed heavy troops here・・・・・・" to the periphery, a large circle was circled, Zhengde proudly said: "With the shield of the naturalization city, Xuanfu and Datong will no longer have soldiers to worry about...... After naturalization, I will rebuild Daning City, and then ・・・・・・"
While speaking, Zhengde was also a stroke on the sand table, Hua Dang only looked dizzy, and he couldn't remember the details anymore, he only knew one thing, that is, Daming's northern expedition was much more grand than the few times in Yongle Nian, and it would be step by step to move the entire front northward, such a grand plan could never be a whim.
