(Haha, did you guess?) Wowhahahaha)

The person who cried stood in the queue of relatives, obviously the knighthood was not low, he was already in his sixties, his eyebrows and beard were all gray, but at this moment, the face that was generally full of wrinkles was full of old tears, crying like a child.

Those who are familiar with him can't help but sigh.

This person is Xue Han, the Marquis of Yangwu, this person is also from a famous family, and his ancestor is Xue Lu. Xue Lu, the sixth in the family, known as Xue Liu, changed his name to Xue Lu after the development, and accompanied the Yongle Emperor to fight against Jingjing as a small soldier, and repeatedly made military exploits. In December of the eighteenth year of Yongle, Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, was named the Marquis of Yangwu, this person lived a long life, during the Hongxi period, he served as the governor of the left army, and added the prince Taibao, and gave the world bonds. He once served as the chief military officer and guarded the outside of the fortress. Later, because of the meritorious service, he added another 500 stones. In the same year, General Pei Zhenshuo sealed, governor Kaiping to the Datong frontier. In the first year of Xuande, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was recruited from Xuanzong and served as a striker. After Zhu Gaoxu was arrested, Xue Lu and Shangshu Zhang Ben were left to guard. In the spring of the following year, he was ordered to inspect the cities of the southern prefectures. In the summer of the same year, he re-admired the general's seal, toured Kaiping in the north, and was also stationed in Xuanfu. During this period, he led elite soldiers to attack Warat. After recall. Xuande for three years, followed the northern expedition again, won in Kuanhe, and then stayed in Jizhou and Yongping. Wear the seal of Zhenshuo again, and carry out border patrol and salary. In the fifth year of Xuande, he met the enemy at Phoenix Ridge and won, and was crowned Taibao.

In the same year, he died of illness and was given the title of Duke of Yin, and he was loyal to the martial arts.

Emperor Xuande was very fond of him, and he said that Yongningwei should build castle guards in some places, and Xuanzong approved and sent 36,000 soldiers and civilians to work, and 1,500 elite cavalry to escort him. All were dispatched by Xue Lu. Before leaving, he gave poems to praise, using Zhong Shanfu and Nan Zhong as metaphors. Xue Lu is a military general, and he doesn't know what he means. So he asked Yang Shiqi for advice. Yang Shiqi said: "The saint treats the king with an ancient sage. Xue Lu said: "Lu An dared to look at the former sages, but he dared not to repay the favor." ”

This person even appeared in the strange book chatting about the strange things. It's an outlier.

The Yangwu Marquis family is also regarded as one of the few wealthy families among the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the top one in Xue Han's generation, Xue Han was also a fierce general when he was young, and he conquered Annan, Xining, Pingjiangnan, and Guizhou Tusi, all of which have made many military exploits. Later, the Jin State became independent, and Xue Han took the title of Marquis of Yangwu as the governor of Nuergan and was ordered to suppress the Jurchens, and the task given to him by Emperor Zhengde at that time was to exterminate the Jurchens within five years.

As a result, the Jurchens became stronger and stronger. The more and more they fought, but the power of the Ming Dynasty in the northeast was shrinking day by day, getting worse and worse, losing the city and land all the way, and retreating from the Hate Ancient River to the Songhua River.

Da Ming could only acquiesce in the existence of Jurchen, and Xue Han, who was unfavorable in battle, was also removed from his post and investigated by the angry Emperor Zhengde, and stayed in the edict prison for half a year, and only after Emperor Zhengde went to Huo'er did he intercede and release him. It's just that since then, it has also been sluggish.

The monarch lost his manners, or in front of so many envoys, but the harsh Zhengde was one of the few who did not get angry. Instead, he comforted him with two words, and someone helped him down to rest.

Then Tuha offered the annual tribute, but there were not many things. It's less than what was given to Lian Zining, which is roughly tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. More than 1,000 taels of sand gold, more than 100 horses. Zhengde didn't care about this at all, and glanced at the list and put it aside. For him, what he wants is the Jurchen surrender!

Nothing else.

Then, there was no then, and after handing over the credentials, there was nothing to do with Tuha. Emperor Zhengde waved his hand, and he and the officials of the Jin Kingdom stood up and stood aside.

In fact, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the next thing is the main event.

After all, the posture that Lian Zining made was really too big - drink, good fellow, there are eighty-six khans who have come to make the pilgrimage!

In the minds of the people in the country, anyone who can be crowned with a title such as 'Great King' and 'Great Khan' must have great power and great force, and his subordinates must have tens of thousands of elites!

And Lian Zining actually got a full eighty-six people to come to the Khan King to pay homage this time, could it be that he wiped out all the major forces in the vast land of the northeast?

Naturally, none of them would have thought, or dare not think, that Lian Zining had created such a big gimmick.

Lian Zining is also an extremely scheming person, he is even more proficient in the psychology of Zhengde and the entire Ming court, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if the Ming court and the Zhengde emperor know the truth, they will not debunk it, because at this time, the whole world knows that eighty-six Khan kings came to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, but at this time, there was a sudden news that these people were fakes, so the most humiliating and majestic loss was definitely not Lian Zining. It's Emperor Zhengde, it's the Ming court! They will become the laughing stock of the people of the world.

Lian Zining had already kidnapped the court unconsciously, of course, he was more confident, and he would never be exposed. You know, under his command and leadership, these tribal leaders constantly hypnotized themselves, and even subconsciously began to believe that they were really a certain Great Khan King.

Zhengde asked again, "Who are you kneeling down below?" ”

Helian Leopard and Azig glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Helian Leopard (Azig), a foreign citizen, knock on His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, we are the people of the wilderness outside the Celestial Empire, and we are not educated by the Celestial Empire, if we talk nonsense, I am afraid of displeasing the Emperor of the Celestial Empire." It is to promote the two of us to speak to the emperor. ”

They said this straightforwardly and cutely, and Emperor Zhengde was also satisfied when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Since you are a guest from afar, you don't need to be polite, so let's be even!" ”

Everyone thanked them and stood up one after another.

Zhengde asked again programmatically: "Why are you here this time?" ”

Everyone knelt down again, and said in unison: "We are waiting for the people outside the world, admiring the enlightenment of the Heavenly Empire, and I am here to return to Shun, and I am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, call the ministers and pay tribute, and serve the Ming Dynasty forever." ”

Emperor Zhengde wanted this sentence, and he was very happy in his heart, and this kind of happiness. The direct manifestation is in the reward.

He laughed and laughed, "Everyone, come and submit." I am very relieved that I am the kingdom of heaven. Ze is the commander of all nations, and has the bearing of a great country. When you come, you will accept them all, and from then on, your home country will be a country that I will not conquer! ”

After saying this, even if the matter of the submission of the tribes is given. Next, after the Great Dynasty was dispersed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites naturally registered these tribes. Issuing documents, gold seals, book seals, and the like.

Then Zhengde waved his hand again, and Ma Yongcheng behind him took a step forward and said in a sharp voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The Khan Kings of the Northeast Tribes, sincere and resolute, came to the Hajj from thousands of miles away, showing loyalty, and specially passed the decree, the Khan Kings of the Tribes." Each of them will be rewarded with 100 catties of platinum, 1,000 taels of silver, and 500 taels of gold. Each gives seven beams of crowns, plus a cage scarf and a sable cicada, and a pen is folded in four folds. Before and after using gold for a cicada. Each gave a jade belt and a jade pendant. Give a python robe! ”

The courtiers listened. They were all taken aback, and secretly said that the emperor was so generous. Our Ming Dynasty has eighty-six more commanders at once, but this is nothing, after all, this is a false title, it doesn't matter how much or more, they are not under the control of the central government. But today, just the real money that was rewarded is enough to be as much as 100,000 taels! In addition, these jade belt python robes or something, it is also a lot of expenses.

When the leaders of the various tribes kneeling below heard this, their hearts were filled with joy, and they said in their hearts, Lord Wu Yibo really didn't lie to us, this Ming Emperor is really generous! We just knelt here and said a few words, kowtowed a few times, and brought this mouth without bringing anything, which rewarded so many things?

There is also an official mile!

Although I don't know how big an official that Rausch commander is, it shouldn't be small, right?

They were about to thank him, but Helian Leopard at the front blinked and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, I don't know if you can give us a reward?" ”

"Huh?" Zhengde glanced at him suspiciously, a little unhappy in his heart, why, is it too little?

But he heard Helian Leopard say: "So that His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire will know that over there, as far as the eye can see, there are thousands of miles around, all of which are tribes of all sizes, even if there is real money and silver, there is nowhere to spend it." What's more, we have a lot of sand gold over there, but we are not short of gold and silver. On the contrary, it is ......"

He paused and smiled awkwardly: "On the contrary, it is only when we go south to the capital this time that we can see what it means to be rich in land and resources, and know how prosperous the Ming Dynasty is, like a brocade, which can be sold ten times the price of our place." It's not something we can produce ourselves. It is the emperor who rewards us with these gold and silver, but it is better to reward some iron pots, silk, medicines, and the like. On the contrary, it is affordable. ”

He mouthed us one by one, and one by one great emperor, which made everyone laugh in their hearts, so they ignored the little disrespect in his language intentionally or unintentionally.

If others were so ignorant of lifting, Zhengde would have been furious a long time ago, and today's grand ceremony, such a face, rare laughter a few times, but at this time it was in a good mood, and seeing this Helian Leopard had a word, straightforward and cute, he smiled slightly: "Okay, it's time to play." Ma Yongcheng, go down later, and discount those gold, silver, and silk in half according to the market price, and exchange them for iron pots, cloth, and other things. ”

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly responded, his heart was happy, and his heart could use this to make a fortune.

Helian Leopard got the quasi-play, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Zhengde, he smiled and said: "Helian Aiqing, go back slowly, I have something to ask you." ”

Helian Leopard hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, please ask, the ministers know everything, and they have nothing to say." ”

Zhengde squinted his eyes and asked, "Your tribe, where is it, how large is the territory, how many populations, how many soldiers can fight?" ”

As soon as they heard this question, the ministers in the palace all pricked up their ears and listened, which was also a question they were quite concerned about.

Obviously, Emperor Zhengde definitely didn't trust Lian Zining's words, but at least he believed ninety percent, otherwise, although he was tempted, he wouldn't have come in front of so many people.

It's just that Lian Zining has been premeditated for this kind of problem, and he has already taught everyone a set of rhetoric for them to memorize, but he is not afraid.

Helian Leopard's face showed a slight self-esteem, and he said proudly: "So that His Majesty the Great Emperor will know that the tribe of the subordinates is north of Songjiang." It is one of the best in the majority, from the Hadamu Mountains to the Goulian River. It stretches for more than 500 miles, and it is the territory of our people. There are endless grasslands, dense forests, rushing rivers, and towering mountains on our territory, and every year the ice and snow have melted in the south of our pastures, and when the mountains are full of flowers, the north of our pastures is still snowing heavily! There are more than 60,000 people in our people, and there are 20,000 warriors who can lift up swords and spears to kill! Our cattle and sheep are grazed all over the mountains, and there are countless of them! ”

The ministers listened. Many people let out a burst of exclamation.

Ancient numbers are mostly imaginary fingers, because the ancients generally had no concept of numbers, once they are big, it is tens of millions to count, plus there is no accurate map in ancient times, and there is no accurate aerial photography technology. In their consciousness, five hundred miles is naturally already a huge territory, but they don't know that five hundred miles is roughly the straight-line distance from the capital to the political envoy in Shandong. And Helian Leopard's series of exaggerated adjectives gave birth to a sense of vastness and boundlessness in their hearts. Although the number of Helian Leopard's people is not particularly large, everyone knows that this northern land is wild and sparsely populated. It is not easy to have 10,000 people, and most of them are among the best.

Such strength. is called a great king, but it is not worthwhile.

But they don't know. Under Lian Zining's instructions, Helian Ministry's strength surpassed Helian Leopard's mouth. That's a multiplication.

And even Zining is not afraid that the lie will be exposed, after all, the land north of Songjiang has been out of the control of the Ming Dynasty for decades, not to mention that the household registration statistics and other systems of the Ming Dynasty have always been very bad, and even the number of wild Jurchens in the jurisdiction of General Songhuajiang does not have an exact number, let alone the more distant Jiangbei. Even if there were historical statistics, it was a few decades ago, and it has not been corrected in these years, and no one can say what happened in the meantime, so it is naturally unclear.

When it comes to understanding the inside affairs of the Northeast, there is really no one inside and outside the government and the opposition who knows better than Lian Zining.

Unless it was Helian Leopard who said it himself-as for those who knew the truth would leak the secret, Lian Zining didn't worry about this problem at all, he had his own plan, he was scheming, and every step was calculated. Not to mention that all the clan leaders have been tied together by him, even if he doesn't talk about this, after all, Wu Yijun is now in the northeast, like Mount Tai, who dares to say more, then he is really waiting to be wiped out and ruined!

They still think about this clearly.

Emperor Zhengde also nodded and said, "In that bitter cold place, there can be more than 60,000 people, which is not coarse. ”

This sentence means that Lian Zining has completely concealed the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty and Emperor Zhengde, and it also means that Lian Zining has spent several months and thousands of miles, and the overall situation laid out has been completely formed!

And his purpose of making such a big battle and taking such painstaking steps is naturally not purely to add glory to the Ming Dynasty.

He's going to get a great deal out of it!

You know, getting a group of small chieftains of a small tribe and a group of khans in the past are two completely different concepts and two kinds of merits!

Zhengde was in a good mood today, so he asked again: "I heard you speak elegantly, but why?" ”

Helian Leopard sighed, with a reminiscing expression on his face, and said, "Back to His Majesty the Great Emperor, speaking of which, I have also been in school. At the beginning, Shangguo set up a county school in Demu Henan Wei, popularized the education of the Ming Dynasty, and selected the sons and nephews of the patriarchs of various tribes to study, so that I could also feel the grace of heaven and understand the classics, which was really a great good governance! From thirteen to sixteen, three years were spent in the county school. ”

When these words came out, everyone's faces were a little heavy, but Zhengde didn't care, anyway, the things that were lost in the past have now been taken back.

He nodded: "No wonder so. ”

At this time, Helian Leopard smashed his mouth and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, speaking of which, the subordinate has a reluctant request. ”

Zhengde was a little puzzled, waved his hand and smiled: "Say!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty set up the Nuer Gandu Division in the northeast, under the jurisdiction of various guards, immigrated people in each guard, built cities, opened teachings, built markets, and the tribes around dozens of miles and hundreds of miles can go to the local area to do trading and trading, communicate with each other, and settle in it. It's a pity that all of these were ruined and all gone. So much so that we couldn't even use an iron pot, so we had to chisel stones for pots, not even cloth, only animal skins for clothing, not even a needle, but had to grind bones for needles. Pity me and other people who have a heart for the Ming Dynasty, but they have ended up in such a situation! ”

These words came out. The people in the court were all moved. But I didn't expect these outsiders. For Daming, he is so attached to it.

Since these people entered the main hall, Yang Shen had always been watching his nose and nose, as if he hadn't seen it, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Dai Zhangpu's eyes jumped slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, Chengbi has a big appetite.

Then I saw that Helian Leopard took a deep breath. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, my subordinates, please ask the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to reset the Nuer Gandu Division, reset the three hundred and eighty-four guards, twenty-four institutes, seven grounds, seven stations, and one village in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and rule the north and south of Songjiang!" ”

After he finished speaking, the rest of the eighty-five Khan kings also said in unison: "Your subordinates, please ask the Great Emperor of the Celestial Empire to reset the Nuer Gandu Division." Command the north and south of Songjiang! ”

Show one’s true colors in the end!

This is Lian Zining's ultimate goal!

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――

Above the court, there was a sudden uproar!

"Reset the slave Gandu Division? Oh my God, these barbarians really dare to mention it! Such a big deal. Can they call the shots? Say it's set up? ”

"You still don't understand this? It was clearly discussed before people came! ”

"But it's no wonder, who doesn't want to live a good life? These brutes say that, but they're not wrong! ”

Whispers suddenly sounded in the court. And seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it, those ceremonial officials also selectively ignored it.

They don't want to offend so many people.

It's not that these courtiers are making a fuss. Indeed, the re-establishment of the slave Gandu Division is a matter of great importance!

Establishment of an institution. There are many aspects involved, how many people have risen and fallen, how many people's future has changed, how much benefit these new errands can bring, who can climb up, who is estimated to have to fall.

The abolition or establishment of an ordinary organ involves a wide range of interests, and it is very difficult to handle, not to mention that there are two outliers in the Nuer Gandu Division.

One is its vastness.

Huge, extremely vast.

The full name of Nuer Gandu Division is: Nuer Gandu Command Envoy Division.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, in a province, three divisions were established: that is, the political envoy of Chengxuan, the probationary envoy and the commander of the envoy, collectively known as the "three divisions", the three divisions were in charge of the administration, criminal name, and military of a province, which was also a model of the separation of powers in the local area. The three divisions are all the highest organs of the provincial-level administrative regions, and the heads of the three divisions have the same rank and rank as the second rank, which is equivalent to the level of Shangshu in the court.

However, due to the special situation, there are few Han people, many ethnic minorities, and many barbarian tribes, and they are adapted to local conditions, and there is no political envoy department and a criminal envoy department, but only a command envoy department, and the military and the people are integrated, and they all command the army and the people.

In Nuergan, the position of commander has been magnified to the maximum, and it can be said that its power is similar to that of the Jiedu envoy who seized a place at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the scope of the Nuer Gandu Division in the Orthodox Dynasty and the Xuande Dynasty, it was east to the sea, west to Tatar, north to Wai Xing'an Mountains, and south to Liaodong. From Emperor Hongwu, until the end of this dynasty, Duoyan Sanwei and the three surnamed Jurchen are still honest and honest ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and their territories belong to the jurisdiction of the Nuer Gandu Division, which was the peak period of the Nuer Gandu Division, and its area is equivalent to the sum of the area of Shandong, Shanxi, North Zhili, Shaanxi, Henan, South Zhili, Huguang and Sichuan, and even larger.

Later, with the independence of Duoyan Sanwei and the three surnamed Jurchen, the area of Nuer Gandusi was also greatly reduced, and by the time of Zhengde 30 years, its jurisdiction area was roughly east to the Whale Sea, which is now the Sea of Japan, west to the current Daqing, north to the Songhua River, south to North Korea and Liaodong. Although it has shrunk like this, it is equivalent to the size of three Shandong.

Nuer Gandu Division is too big, including 384 guards, 24 guards, 7 ground, 7 stations, 1 village, and more than 400 guards.

And the establishment of a guard requires at least one commander and three products; Command the same two people, from the three products; Commanding four servants, four products; Pacify the two, from the five products; Experience one person, from seven products; The governor is one person, and he is eight products; One officer, from the ninth grade; There is one ambassador in the warehouse, who has not entered the stream; and one deputy envoy, who did not enter the stream.
