After the end of the early dynasty, Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long and Yuan Shichun came to the Wende Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The things to be discussed today are very clear, the emperor assigned a task to everyone a few days ago, asking everyone to think, even Cai Siwei, who had just returned from the south.

Soon, Wu Shaogang, who had rested for a while, entered the Wende Palace.

After watching everyone salute and sit down, Wu Shaogang spoke.

"I won't be verbose, you all know everything, I want to see what you think, what suggestions you have, how our Ming army can better destroy the Mongolian army."

As soon as Wu Shaogang's words fell, Li Tingzhi stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is impossible to really unite between Haidu and Kublai Khan, even if they want to unite, the imperial court should not give them the opportunity to unite, Tong Weihua analyzed the Mongolian personality, and now the Ming army threatens the Great Yuan court and the Mongolian army, Haidu will definitely choose to unite with Kublai Khan for the future of the Mongolian tribes, and the minister sees that such an analysis is biased, only seeing one side, not combining the current actual situation."

When Li Tingzhi said this, the afterglow swept by.

Yuan Shichun and the others lowered their heads, as if they were pondering something.

"The minister did not deny the boldness of the Mongols, and the minister had come into contact with many Mongols in the past, but after his own interests were involved, this boldness may not be able to persist."

"The minister thinks that Haidu is far away in the Mobei grassland, and has never been to the Central Plains, and he does not know about the affairs of the Central Plains at all, and Haidu is extremely repulsive to the Han people, thinking that the Mobei grassland is the richest place, and it is not too much for the minister to praise Haidu as the frog at the bottom of the well, it is precisely because of Haidu this understanding, he will not care about the feelings of the Dayuan court and Kublai Khan, once the Dayuan court and Kublai Khan encounter a major threat, Haidu must think of inheriting the position of the Mongol Great Khan, how can he think about Kublai Khan...

Li Tingzhi's analysis is very reasonable.

Wu Shaogang fell into contemplation, Li Tingzhi's thoughts coincided with his thoughts, the historical Haidu is indeed the hero of the Mongolian steppe, and is also known as the real Great Khan of the Mongolian steppe, throughout his life, Kublai Khan was not able to completely conquer Haidu, it can also be said that he was not able to defeat Haidu, and in the Mongolian steppe, Haidu's influence even surpassed Kublai Khan to a certain extent.

is such a hero, how can he stick to the so-called promise.

Judging from the intelligence from Dadu, Kublai Khan sent Prince Moge and Wuliang Hetai to negotiate in the Mobei grassland, first of all, he did not correct his mentality, did not really think about the peace on the grassland, it was because he encountered the threat of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming army, and he was forced to send envoys, and Kublai Khan did not really promise much to Haidu.

Even if he didn't know that the Mongolian army was preparing to compete with the Ming army for the world, it could be seen that Kublai Khan did not have much sincerity, and the steel knife in Kublai Khan's hand was not completely put down.

In such a situation, the choice of the sea will be able to be imagined by a fool.

Hai will not choose to really unite with Kublai Khan, and at the same time will not make trouble in the Mobei grassland in a short period of time, so no matter what, it will be unfavorable for Haidu, if the Mongolian army under Kublai Khan and the Ming army start a life-and-death struggle, Haidu just takes advantage of this opportunity to strengthen its own strength, and when it is not afraid of Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court, I am afraid that it is the time to do it, and then the right to speak is on Haidu's side.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this is the most likely choice that Haidu will make.

This is the point of view stated by Li Tingzhi.

Wu Shaogang believed that this understanding was obtained after Li Tingzhi discussed with others, especially Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian, Xu Heng and others, who knew about Kublai Khan and some of the situation in the Mobei grassland, and they were able to make such a judgment.

Haidu adopts the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, strictly speaking, it is beneficial to Wu Shaogang and the Ming court, but Wu Shaogang is not at ease, everything is developing and changing, the Mongolian tribes in the Mobei grassland, its strength should not be underestimated, if the Ming army and the Mongolian army are fighting at the critical moment, Haidu suddenly inserts a bar, which is definitely unfavorable for the Ming army, and Haidu will definitely be the first to intervene in the affairs of the Monan grassland, which is also unbearable for the Ming court that needs the complete stability of the Monan grassland.

The sea must be moved, and no matter what kind of movement it has, it is better than doing nothing.

。。。

Li Tingzhi's views have been supported by everyone, and even Yuan Shichun, who previously agreed with Tong Weihua's analysis, also believes that such an analysis is reasonable.

Consensus was formed on the first aspect.

Then it's time to discuss how to get the sea moving.

Li Tingzhi still spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should send an envoy to the Monan Grassland to discuss with Haidu, so that Haidu can continue to launch an attack on the Mongol army in Mobei, as long as he knows the reason, Haidu will definitely not stop the pace of conquest. . . ."

This time, Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, Haidu is a Mongol after all, although there is an uncommon hatred with Kublai Khan, but there is still an unusual relationship with Prince Moge and others, and it is probably not very realistic to want Haidu to immediately turn around and launch an attack.

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, the privy deputy envoy Yuan Shichun spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that sending an envoy to the Monan Grassland, and the matter of discussing with Haidu must be implemented, no matter what, only to see Haidu, let it hesitate, it is also a victory, but the minister feels that it is somewhat difficult to let Haidu immediately launch an attack on the Mobei Grassland, Haidu is a soldier, the minister is also a soldier, if you change to Haidu to think, will not immediately send troops, the Mongolian army and the Ming army to fight, if Haidu waits quietly, you will be able to get benefits, at least strengthen your own strength...

Even Li Tingzhi felt that what Yuan Shichun said was reasonable, and if he were Li Tingzhi himself, he would do the same, let Kublai Khan and the Ming army fight, observe in the middle, and fish in troubled waters, and always get benefits.

However, since then, Haidu has become a real threat, making it difficult for all parties to control.

No one wants to see such a situation, and this is something that must be prevented.

How to make Haidu move, everyone has not thought of a particularly good way, including Wu Shaogang, there is no particularly good way, there must be no stupid way for Haidu, since people can gain a foothold in the Mobei grassland, and have fought against Kublai Khan for so many years, they must have extraordinary skills, and being able to seize the opportunity is their greatest ability.

Finally, everyone stopped discussing and looked at Wu Shaogang.

Wu Shaogang slowly spoke.

"You Aiqing is right, want the sea to move, it's not so easy, put the best opportunity in front of you, if the sea gives up looking, isn't it against common sense, if the Ming army and the Mongolian army launched a desperate fight, at this time the sea is just to strengthen its own strength, it will never be mixed with it, just now some people are worried, the sea is afraid that at this time to send troops to aid Kublai Khan, to attack our Ming army, in fact, this is not possible, because the sea is very clear, He didn't want to be able to live in harmony with Kublai Khan in his life, and the two of them were also immortal. ”

"If Haidu helps Kublai Khan, when Kublai Khan's strength grows stronger and he survives the difficulties, the next person who encounters the fate of destruction is afraid that Haidu himself, Haidu knows this very well."

"The place where there may be an exception to this is interests."

"The Ming army and the Mongolian army are fighting to a critical moment, Kublai Khan is very likely to come up with attractive benefits, prompting Haidu to send troops to attack our Ming army, when Haidu attacks us, if he can strengthen his own strength and get benefits, then he will definitely send troops, this is the situation I am most worried about."

"Since Haidu sees benefits, then we will find a way to give Haidu some immediate benefits, so that he can calm down, at least not participate in the battle, at least I can let Haidu sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight forever, and even let Haidu attack the Mongolian army at a critical time."

"All of you Aiqing have talked about the matter of sending envoys, I have just thought about it, the matter of sending envoys, it is worth pondering, I will let Shangjia act as my envoy, so that Haidu in the Mobei grassland, in the trade and trade transactions, after having money, Haidu can really strengthen its own strength, without money everything is empty, so Haidu will definitely hesitate to think, if he agrees to Kublai Khan's request, it is very likely to lose huge wealth, so I can guarantee that Haidu will not do anything, In order to obtain more money, he even launched an attack on Kublai Khan. ”

"I also know that there is no shortage of silver in the sea, there are mountains of gold and silver, but I think that this thunder is a rare good thing for Haidu, and when the trade transaction reaches a critical moment, I can take out the thunder, and even take out a few Dingkun cannons, it is also possible."

When Wu Shao just said this, everyone was surprised, Dingkun cannon and thunder, this is the top secret weapon of the Ming army, in order to keep its secret over the years, I don't know how much thought has been spent.

It is too cost-effective to trade the Dingkun Cannon and the Thunderbolt.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke unhurriedly.

"The occurrence of the Dingkun cannon needs a fuse, a cannonball and gunpowder, etc., these things are all under my control, Haidu has obtained a few Dingkun cannons, how much effect can they play, besides, if Kublai Khan knew that Haidu had Dingkun cannons, you Aiqing, what do you think Kublai Khan would think...

Li Tingzhi and the others finally showed a smile on their faces, killing two birds with one stone, trading a few Dingkun cannons, not only to get the support of Haidu, but also to create a huge rift between Kublai Khan and Haidu, such a situation is the most beneficial for the Ming army.
