Chapter 0470 - Can't Help Yourself
As soon as he returned to the palace, although it was the afternoon of the second day, he knew that the emperor had not closed his eyes all night, but Wang Chengen still insisted on seeing the emperor.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was diligent and wanted to rest for a while, but he immediately granted Wang Chengen's request to see. The two met in Chengqian Palace.
Wang Chengen directly invited the emperor to the big map that only had in the Chengqian Palace, this is a detailed map of the entire Ming Dynasty, which is different from the map of the various areas used by the people below, very detailed, of course, this map, only the emperor and Wang Chengen can see the whole face.
"Your Majesty, please look, this is the Chahar grassland! In order to effectively control the Mongol tribes and consolidate the Khan's power, Lin Dan Khan directly controlled the five tribes of Inner Khar, Bahrain, Zalut, Bayut, Uziyat, and Hongjirat, based on the Chahar tribe, and also remotely controlled the other Mongolian tribes. In the early period of Lin Dan Khan's reign, the three Khalkha Khans of Mobei and the Kundulun Khan of Karaqin in Monan, the Chegen Khan of Alu Korqin, the Horqin Oba Hongtaiji, and the Ordos Tuba Jinong regularly went to Chahanhot to meet Lin Dan Khan, discuss major government affairs with the Great Khan, and participate in banquets, hunting and other activities held by the Great Khan. The Mongol Khan, Jinong, Nuoyan, and Taiji constrained the Etok in accordance with the Dafa of Tumen Zasaktu Khan, and regularly contributed to the Lindan Khan Dynasty. Wang Chengen introduced the emperor to the map.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen probably knew these things, but Wang Chengen spoke concisely, and he didn't interrupt Wang Chengen, listened patiently, nodded, and knew that Wang Chengen had more important information to report to him, and Jinyiwei's secret sect system had infiltrated the gates!
"Your Majesty. The old slave got the news that Huang Taiji used both soft and hard means to win over and conquer the Inner Khalkha (Bahrain, Zalut, Bayout, Uziyet, Hongjirat) and Korqin tribes on the periphery of the Chahar Ministry, which greatly weakened the power of the already powerful Chahar Ministry. So Huang Taiji pointed the sharp edge of the military operation directly at the Chahar Department.
Naiman and Ao Han were members of the Chahar Ba Etok and had a great influence. Nurhachi and his successor, Huang Taiji, had long since communicated with the influential Umu Sat Sulji Lama in the Naiman Otok, and instigated the Naiman minister Gunchuk Baturu Taiji to return to Houjin. Just when the emperor was out of Beijing, the old slave got the news! Huang Taiji secretly sent people to the location of the Naiman tribe Gunchuk, hoping that Gunchuk would persuade the leader of the Ao Han tribe, Sonomu Duling, and the leader of the Keshiketeng tribe, Sonomunuo, to return to Houjin. Naiman and Ao Han sent people to say that they had persuaded Lin Dan Khan to make peace with Hou Jin, but their efforts were rejected by Lin Dan Khan and Minister Keshiketen. Minister Naiman and Minister Ao Han sent the Umu Sat Sulji Lama to the city of Durbi. After the notification, the two Mongolian tribes came to surrender. Huang Taiji led Zhu Beile to cross the Liao River from Duerbi. The two ministers were greeted. The ministers of Chahar Alakchut, such as Dolziyilden, Anban and Shuoqi, Kuken Baturu, and Angkun Duling, also led their troops to attach themselves to Huang Taiji.
During this period, Huang Taiji sent people several times to instigate the Karaqin tribe to return to Houjin, but the envoys he sent were all intercepted and killed by the Dorot tribe to which Chahar belonged. Wang Chengen looked at the map. Constantly pointing out the positions of the various alliances to the emperor.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen frowned. "Say so. Huang Taiji will immediately secretly contact the various alliances in the hands of Lin Dan Khan to discuss the joint attack on Lin Dan Khan! So as to sweep away the Mongolian tribes in the north of my Ming Dynasty and open up all the passages from Houjin to Jingshi! So. Can they bypass Shanhaiguan at any time and go straight to the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also pointed to the map with a solemn expression.
Wang Chengen nodded, "Judging from the information we have so far, Lin Dan Khan is already alone, even if there are a few Mongolian tribes who are still attached to Lin Dan Khan, but outside the pass, it is difficult to compete with Huang Taiji's Houjin!" The emperor must make arrangements as soon as possible. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, "Immediately report these situations to Lin Dan Khan, we are now allies, and in the future, when these situations are sent to the Beijing Division, a piece of information will also be sent to Lin Dan Khan!" On the battlefield, intelligence is life! ”
Wang Chengen said respectfully, "Obey the order, it's just that Lin Dan Khan doesn't have many men, even if he gets the news, he doesn't do anything, the Mongols attach great importance to pre-war reconnaissance, Huang Taiji's every move will not cause the effect of a surprise attack on Lin Dan Khan, they can blatantly launch an offensive against the Chahar Department!" The old slave estimated that in the past two months, there would be a big war in the north of Daming! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen understood what Wang Chengen meant, Wang Chengen was asking himself for an attitude, asking about his attitude towards Lin Dan Khan, to see if he was talking about cooperation, or really regarded Lin Dan Khan as an ally! Wang Chengen doesn't have to hide it from himself, he is his own brain. He must also know what he, the emperor, thinks.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still thought of the North Korean issue, "It seems that it is not wrong for us to take the North Korean move at this time, and we can distract some Huang Taiji's attention!" At the same time, regardless of whether the Ming has the strength or not, we cannot discard our allies! The fact that I married Lin Dan Khan to Anda should already be known to everyone, right? As an emperor, he is an example for the subjects of the world, if I am a person who goes back on his word, then what dignity will there be in the future? What dignity do the people of the Ming Dynasty have? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said firmly! He remembered that in his previous life, when he was the emperor, there were too many times he went back on his word! He had already made up his mind that in his life, no matter how wrong he was, no matter how he fell into a place of no return! I can't change my orders overnight, I can't shirk my mistakes, I don't dare to take responsibility, I'd rather make a mistake to the end! I'd rather be wrong again and again! For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can no longer help himself!
Wang Chengen nodded slowly, "But, Your Majesty, have you ever considered that my Ming Dynasty is now difficult to protect itself, and the food shortage in Beijing has not been completely resolved, even if the more than 400,000 displaced people have been transported to North Korea, but there are still more than one million people, can't they all be sent away?" What's more, North Korea is so big, and when the time comes, it is clear that it is already overwhelmed over there, and it keeps sending people there? Doesn't it push people to their deaths? If unfavorable news about North Korea continues to spread, I am afraid that it will cause immeasurable damage to the already unstable people's hearts! Public opinion is like a tiger! Emperor. ”
Wang Chengen's words were a little bold, he didn't dare to say these questions to the emperor before, but the emperor's changes during this time were too great! (To be continued......)
