Chapter 714: Calmly Go to the Banquet

At noon, more than two or three hundred heavily armed Uliangha soldiers gathered in the courtyard of Haisa Nan Daxi's house, and Aza Shiri, Hai Sa Nan Da Xi and Tulu Kuchar thought that Li Yuntian would definitely bring a lot of people this time, so they took precautions in advance, and they could deal with them in case of any accidents.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Hamur is here." Just as the three of Azashiri were discussing Li Yuntian in the living room, a guard walked in quickly and shouted loudly.

"How many people did he bring?" Hearing this, Tru Kuchar suddenly asked, his tone a little nervous.

Hamur is the pseudonym of Halbara, and for the sake of secrecy, Azashri invited Li Yuntian to the banquet under the banner of entertaining Halbara.

"Five followers." The guard bowed to Tarukor and replied in a loud voice.

"Five...... Five people! Turuk Tshar's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Azashri, he never expected that so few people would come to participate in such an important banquet, didn't Li Yuntian come?

"It is worthy of being the Marquis of Zhenwu, with this mind and courage." Azashri didn't expect that there were so few people coming to the banquet this time, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh, he was sure that Li Yuntian was among the five entourages in Halbara, and there was actually no need to take such a risk as Li Yuntian.

"Zhenwu Hou is here?" Tulu Kuchar's expression became a little surprised, he didn't believe that Li Yuntian only brought five people to the banquet.

"Inform the people, withdraw the people outside, don't let the Marquis of Zhenwu see the joke." Azashri nodded solemnly, and then gave a deep order to one of the guards standing at the door, who immediately withdrew the Uliangha soldiers gathered in the courtyard.

"Let's go and meet you." Afterwards, Azashri stood up and beckoned Haisa Nan Daxi and Tuolu Kuzar to meet Li Yuntian.

At the gate of the courtyard, Hai Sanan replied that Xi saw Li Yuntian who was following behind Harbara, and quietly glanced at Azashri and Tulu Kuchar, which made the two secretly relieved.

"Stand down, no one is allowed to enter without my summons." When Li Yuntian and Halbara and his party were welcomed into the living room by the three of Azashiri, a sumptuous banquet had already been set up in the living room, and Haisa Nan replied in a deep voice to the people in the house.

The men bowed to Hai Sanan and retreated, leaving only a few Uliangha guards in the room.

When the door to the living room was closed, Harbara, who was sitting at the top of the room, got up and gave up his seat to Li Yuntian, who was standing behind him.

"The Marquis of Zhenwu is here, and the humble house is shining." After Li Yuntian sat down, Hai Sa Nan raised the wine glass in front of him and saluted Li Yuntian, and said to Azashri and Tulu Kuchar with a smile, "Come, let's toast the marquis." ”

"The commander of the three guards is polite." Li Yuntian picked up the wine glass and replied to Hai Sa Nan with a smile, and the three of them touched the void, and then everyone drank the wine in the cup.

"Marquis Zhenwu, we invited you here this time because we don't know something, and I want to ask Master Hou." After putting down the wine glass in his hand, Azashri looked at Li Yuntian straight to the point and said, "Does the imperial court really want us to stay in Daning and Hetao this time!" ”

"It's true." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, glanced at the Hasa man who was staring at him, Daxi and Tulu Kuchar, and replied in an orderly manner, "Daning is the pastoral area of your three guards, but the Hetao area is vast, not only your three guards are stationed there, but also the Dayan and other departments who assisted the Ming Dynasty in the battle will also be stationed there. ”

Hearing this, Azashri couldn't help but nodded, in fact, Daning was enough for the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to be a herd, so he didn't have the intention of monopolizing the more vast Hetao area, he knew that Li Yuntian had married the Dayan Ministry, if the Dayan Department could be stationed in the Hetao, which was more geographically important, then the Wuliang Ha Sanwei would naturally be able to live in the Daning area.

"Marquis Zhenwu, is the emperor's title a real title or a fictitious title?" Tulu Kuchaer was concerned about another matter, looked at Li Yuntian and asked in a deep voice, Generally speaking, the titles given by the Central Plains Imperial Court to the indigenous tribes in the border are all fictitious titles in name only.

"The emperor has made it very clear in the holy decree that the three are the real lords, not only have a fortune but also an official position, if the three want to enter Beijing, they will enter the military cabinet to do things." Li Yuntian smiled and said to Tulu Kuchar, "Actually, the three of them should have been transferred to the Xiaowu Army as officials after they became knights, but the emperor considered that the three of them had a very high prestige in the local area, so he let the three stay in place to serve. ”

"Can I enter the Xiaowu Army?" Tulu Kuchaer couldn't help but be stunned, the three battles in Liaodong not only made Li Yuntian famous, but also made the Xiaowu Army famous in the first battle, shocking Liaodong.

In the opinion of Tulu Kuchar, the Xiaowu army was the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, how could they let these obedient Mongol tribes join it?

"The Mongolian cavalry dominates the world, and the Xiaowu army will be inseparable from the impact of the cavalry if it wants to crisscross the battlefield in the future, so the Xiaowu army will form a cavalry team based on the Mongolian cavalry, and its commander will also be dominated by Mongolian generals."

Li Yuntian smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Halbara standing behind him, and said with a smile to Tru Kuchar, "General Halbara is now the deputy commander of the cavalry of the Xiaowu Army, the cavalry of the Xiaowu Army is now composed of the Mongolian cavalry and the Jurchen cavalry, and the other deputy commander is the Jurchen Jianzhou Guard Commander Meng's brother Timur, if the three join the cavalry, they will also be the official position of deputy commander." ”

Since forcing Adai Khan to retreat to Xining Fort, Li Yuntian has been busy with official business in the past two or three months, and he has been busy with every day, not only dealing with military and political affairs in the eastern Liaodong region, but also reorganizing the Jurchen and Mongol soldiers, especially the Jurchen cavalry and the Mongol cavalry, so that he can exert the greatest power on the battlefield.

With Li Yuntian's successive victories on the battlefield, he had already established great prestige among both the Mongol and Jurchen soldiers, so he was very smooth in his reorganization of the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers, and those Mongol generals and Jurchen generals were very cooperative.

In fact, in addition to the prestige established by Li Yuntian, the most important thing is that he treats the Xiaowu Army and the Jurchen soldiers and the Mongol soldiers equally, which makes the Jurchen generals and Mongolian generals have great trust in him and are in awe, so that the reorganization can be completed, otherwise he will definitely be resisted by the other party.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Yuntian defeated the Mongol army of the Balpola in the Tiger Skin Camp, the Jurchen tribes have increased their forces to join the Ming army, which is of course related to Li Yuntian's successive battles and successes that have made the Jurchen tribes participating in the war a lot of profits, and also involves the grievances between the Jurchens and Meng Yuan.

The Yuan Dynasty had strict control over the Jurchens, the military service tax burden was severe, and even forbade the Jurchens to hunt with bows and arrows for a time.

The Ming Dynasty governed the Jurchen with the Jurchen chieftain and adopted a kind of loose national autonomy; Financially, it is to use financial resources to provide support; In military affairs, it is prudent to act cautiously, and it is rare to punish without teaching.

In the second and third years of Yongle, the Yongle Emperor once issued an edict to the Jurchen tribes:

"Today, I am the great position, the world is peaceful, and there is the same family at home and abroad. I am afraid that you don't know, you don't belong to each other, the strong bully the weak, the tyrannical widows, how can there be a time for peace? Now listen to my words, give the letter, subordinate to each other, fight around the pasture, live in peace, do business, come and go, and share the blessings of peace. ”

"Edict to ten thousand households, Tong Meng, brother Timur, etc., the former Aha came out of the court, his words are smart, he knows the way of heaven, and he has sent an envoy to send an edict. The messenger replied, and he was able to respect my life and return to the court, and I was very pleased. Now send a thousand kings to educate and wait for the gift to take the inside and outside. And you can come to the court in person, and the name, reward, order and appease the army and the people, fight the grazing, and facilitate the physiology. The rest of the leaders may come with them. If there is a union and a name in the other steward and cannot come, you can clearly write and play, and give the title and reward in one piece. Therefore. ”

"I know that I have been on the throne for three years, the world is peaceful, and there is the same family at home and abroad. Today, I will send hundreds of households to give me the message, and give them colors, coins and other things. And if they can obey the will of heaven and come to the court sincerely, each of them will set up a guard to give the seal letter, and give him a name and a reward, so that he can live in the native land, belong to each other, fight around the herd, and live in peace, and do business and trade, so as to come and go, and share the blessings of peace. Therefore. ”

From these edicts of Emperor Yongle, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty's policy program for the Jurchens was also the Ming Dynasty's national policy for the Liaodong Provinces:

First, the Ming Dynasty also implemented the system of guards and institutes for the Jurchens who were subordinated;

Second, the central government did not appoint Han officials as governors in the Jurchen region, but the leaders of the Jurchen tribes as governors to govern the military and civilians.

Thirdly, the Jurchen chiefs who served as the chiefs of the guards were given a seal letter, i.e., a letter of appointment, as evidence for the exercise of their rights;

Fourth, give a reward in lieu of money;

Fifth, for the subjurents, they were allowed to "subordinate themselves to each other, fight and graze, live in peace, do business, and come and go", so as to "share the blessings of peace".

There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty adopted a loose strategy of national autonomy for the Jurchens, and no Jurchen leader wanted to return to Mongol rule, which would have been severely suppressed.

"Our children can enter the Lecture Hall?" After listening to Li Yuntian's words, he groaned for a moment and asked.

He knew that Li Yuntian had a lot of Mongolian soldiers and Jurchen soldiers under him, and it was the Jurchen cavalry and Mongolian cavalry that would block the Mongol iron cavalry under Bal Polo in the first battle of the Tiger Skin Battalion, and then make the Ming army win the key battle in Liaodong, so he believed that Li Yuntian would not treat those Jurchen generals and Mongolian generals badly, otherwise those Jurchen soldiers and Mongolian soldiers would have unimaginable consequences, so naturally they would not lie to Wuliang Ha Sanwei.

Therefore, for Trukuchar, what he is most interested in now is whether the Ming will fulfill their promise to make them have the same rights as the Ming nobles, and the most important thing is whether their children will be able to interview for admission to the lecture hall.

Obviously, if he relied on his ability to take the exam, it would be impossible for him to pass the martial arts examination of the Ming Dynasty to enter the Jiangwu Hall with the education level of the Uliangha area, so he needed the privilege of the children of the Ming Dynasty to interview and enter the Jiangwu Hall, so as to ensure that their descendants could continue to be rich and prosperous, and would not decline.

Haisa Nan replied Xi and Azashri also looked at Li Yuntian, these days they have a certain understanding of the Xiaowu Army and the lecture hall, and know that only if they can enter the lecture hall without examination can they really rank among the ranks of the great nobles, the reason is very simple, the lecture hall was founded by Li Yuntian by the imperial order of Emperor Xuande, and the Xiaowu army is regarded as the forbidden army of Emperor Xuande, so the lecture hall will become a royal academy for Emperor Xuande to train military attachΓ©s of the Ming army in the future.

"This is natural, it is the emperor's grace for the children of Xun Qi to enter the martial arts hall without examination." Li Yuntian saw that Hai Sanan replied to Xi and the three of them looking at him with a stern expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a subtle smile, he was afraid that the three of them would not be interested in Emperor Xuande's holy decree, so he said calmly.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Haisa Nan Daxi, Azashri and Tulu Kuchar eased, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Emperor Xuande could really fulfill his promise, then it would be a rare opportunity for the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to avoid the attack of war in the future.
