At the moment of the imperial power struggle such as the change of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a bloody storm in the distant northern Mongolia, and the leader of Warat also convened a meeting of the Mongolian tribes to officially announce to the whole Mongolia that he inherited the throne of the Great Khan, denying the legal system inherited by the golden family for hundreds of years.

Although Tokh was born as a puppet Khan, his ability was very mediocre, and he bowed down to the Ming Dynasty, which was regarded as a shame by many Mongolian tribes. However, Genghis Khan once brought supreme glory to the Mongols, and it has become the consensus of the steppe that his descendants inherit the legal system of the Great Khan.

No matter how you explain it first, you didn't commit the crime of killing the king, and Tokhtobuhua died at the hands of his brother Agabarji. But this kind of argument can fool a three-year-old child, and it is also known that the Khan's intentions are known to passers-by, how can it be possible to convince the Mongolian nobles?

It is clear that you, this old boy, are a great rebel, and you have the experience of getting rid of the army and dying without spending money in trying to usurp the throne, how can you have the face to say that it is for the revenge of the Great Khan that you raised troops to attack the Tatars?

More importantly, an edict came from the Ming Dynasty, announcing that the crown prince Mengke was about to return to the Tatar Ministry to inherit the throne. The bloodline of the Golden Family has not yet been extinct, which round will you be the Great Yuan Heavenly Saint Khan, and you are also worthy?

Of course, no matter how dissatisfied he was, his neck was no harder than a steel knife, and after he first killed a few Mongolian nobles who were "outspoken" in public, the remaining tribal leaders immediately understood a wise saying in later generations - "power comes out of the barrel of a gun".

Therefore, under the oppression of the powerful power, the Mongolian nobles and Yexian jointly worshiped the immortal heaven and announced the accession of a new generation of Mongolian heavenly saint khan, which also means that from Genghis Khan to Emperor Yuan Shun, the orthodox Great Yuan and even the inheritance of Mongolian kings "fell aside".

Even if he still used the name of the Great Yuan, in fact, even the legal system of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had been lost, and there was no inheritance of the "Great Qianyuan" in the vast grassland, and only the Mongolian Khan remained.

Originally, he also ascended to the throne first, but he relied on the two points of many soldiers and horses and hard fists, which caused the dissatisfaction of most of the Mongolian nobles. The prestige he achieved in the Battle of Tumubao collapsed, and he faced the same situation as the Great Khan's majesty after he surrendered to the throne.

Theoretically, there is a possibility of hidden dangers, but according to the previous strategy, it should be very keenly aware and find a way to eliminate it. As a result, I don't know if he was carried away by the Khan position, or because of the power to inflate his ambitions, he made a faint move after calling the Khan.

Long before the attack on the Tatars, he also reached an agreement with the Arazhiyuan, saying that the Khan would later grant the position of Taishi to the other party as a reward for loyalty and years of life and death.

However, the rise of Wara, as early as the reign of his father Tuhuan, relied on the authority and honor brought by the Mongolian Taishi. There may be no one who knows better than Ye Xian, the importance and potential of this position, even if Ah Ra Zhiyuan has always been loyal to accompany him, he is not at ease to give up the position of Taishi to others.

So he also reneged on his oath first, and added the title of Taishi who should have been crowned as the master of the Arazhiyuan to his son, after all, his own bloodline is more reliable at the critical moment.

But the Taishi also committed the same taboo as Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu first, that is, he bypassed the eldest son Bolonahal and first established the second son Ashi Timur as the Mongolian Taishi.

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's suppression of the old lords and the operation of Liyou, if it weren't for the historical change that met Shen Yichen, the change of Emperor Zhu Qizhen might have been successful. Now that he is respected as a khan, there is no Shen Yichen around him to help him change history.

As a result of this operation, the eldest son Bolonahal and his tribe were seriously dissatisfied, and the title of Khan caused the Mongolian nobles to be dissatisfied, so they simply lost the way and fell into the end of "rebellion and separation".

When the force is strong, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, and it seems that there is nothing to do. As long as there is any turmoil within the first or the warat, the whole stable situation will fall apart in an instant.

This is why in history, Warat was extremely strong, after the soldiers came to the city of the Ming Kingdom, it seemed to disappear in a few years, and then when the Mongol army attacked the Beijing Division, it was already Altan Khan a hundred years later.

The reason is that he has also made frequent faint moves, completely judging the image of the previous wise and martial arts, and he has killed himself.

Of course, even so, the Mongol army is still a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Ming State, and the annual invasion and plundering of the nine sides have led to countless casualties among the military and civilians. It was like cutting an unhealable hole in the dragon's body, and the Ming Dynasty also lost blood and declined from moment to moment in the confrontation, and finally the two world enemies were destroyed by the Jurchens.

After completing the coveted integration of the Mongolian tribes, he immediately set his sights on the hinterland behind the Xuanda defense line. You must know that last year's battle of Tumubao led to the destruction of hundreds of kilometers of Fengsui fortress in Xuanda, and if you want to commit a crime, it can be said that you are in a no-man's land.

Later, the siege of Jingshi was lifted, and in November, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ordered that Liu An, the Bo of Guangning, be responsible for repairing the passes along the border, which finally blocked some holes in key terrain and restored the basic role of early warning to the Xuanda defense line.

At the same time, this order to repair the pass can be regarded as the beginning of the history of large-scale construction of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until the Jiajing period that it was completely formed, with a complete nine-sided concept.

In another sense, the large-scale construction of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty meant that the entire strategic policy of the Ming Dynasty changed from offensive to defensive, and it was no longer able to carry out large-scale conquest of the grassland.

Now the repaired Xuanda defense line is still fragile, and it will first seize this time to deploy troops to commit crimes. On the one hand, the difficulty can be greatly reduced, and you can go deeper into the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom and plunder more and more precious materials and populations.

On the other hand, he also knew in his heart that he would abolish the golden family bloodline and ascend the throne as the new khan, and he would inevitably suffer a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment. If you want to get more support, you have to let the Mongol tribes benefit from it, and realize that they have meat to eat.

Where does the meat come from?

Of course, it is squeezed from the two-legged sheep of the Ming Kingdom, and while the Xuanda defense line has not been repaired, if you don't take it at this time, when will you wait?

Almost a few days after the end of the Rebellion, the borders of Ningxia, Shanxi, Beizhili, and Liaodong, which stretched for thousands of miles, were full of beacon fires and the military information of the Tartar prisoners.

Among them, there are virtual and real, the Mongolian soldiers and horses dominated by cavalry occupy a great mobile advantage, and it is impossible to guess the direction of their main attack, and the border army defended by the Ming Dynasty is extremely passive.

That's why Shen Yichen always insisted on taking the initiative to attack the Northern Expedition, because the long border defense of the Ming Dynasty could not be prevented. Even if the Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, it is still a symptom rather than a cure, and at most the warning time will be accelerated.

Offense is the best defense, and only by burning the beacon fire of the battlefield to the grassland can we ensure the recuperation of the people in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty once and for all, and enjoy the peaceful and prosperous era brought by the great unified dynasty!

May of the first year of Jingtai seems to be a little colder than in previous years. During the period after the end of the Seizure of the Gate, although Emperor Jingtai promised not to hold any officials accountable, the emperor's promise was just listened to, and whoever really believed in it would not be far from death.

Not to mention this kind of verbal promise, even if the holy decree iron coupon is issued, it is not a piece of scrap iron when it is really fatal?

However, Zhu Qiyu is not a tyrannical king who is purged after all, and for the officials and ministers who participated in the change of seizing the door, they were only demoted or demoted to commoners, and did not set off a bloody storm in Beijing.

Even the "diehards" of Emperor Zhu Qizhen and his party, such as Anyuan Hou Liupu, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao and others, were only sentenced to a short prison sentence, and after all, their subordinates were not as merciful as the previous coups of the Ming Dynasty.

But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew in their hearts that the fate of one person was already doomed, waiting for the verdict of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

On the avenue of the Beijing division before dawn, there is an endless stream of carriages to participate in the Wangshuo Dynasty on the fifteenth day of each month, and often the great changes in the court situation mean that there will be a great establishment in the future, and many officials want to take advantage of this opportunity to perform more in front of the emperor, maybe they can be quickly promoted to soar to the sky.

The carriage of the Chengguo Mansion was driving on the official road of the Beijing Division, and the official carriages that met avoided it after seeing it, and the powerful position brought by the once smash hit reappeared on Zhu Yong's body.

It's just that this time in the carriage, it was not only Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was sitting, but also Shen Yichen.

Speaking of Shen Yichen, it has been a long time, and he has not taken a carriage with Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to go to court. On the one hand, between him and Zhu Yong, he will never reach the intimacy of ordinary father and son, and on the other hand, Zhu Yong, as a commoner, does not need to go to court for more than half a year.

The scene in the carriage was as silent as ever, but soon Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, covered the corners of his mouth and coughed, breaking the silence.

"Grandpa, the situation between the DPRK and China has stabilized now, and you should cultivate well in the mansion, there is no need to participate in the early dynasty."

Shen Yichen couldn't help but admonish, which was different from the outside world's eyes when Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, used his escort skills, and Lao Ji Fu was determined to be thousands of miles away. He knew very well that although the other party had walked out of a state of illness and decadence on the surface, showing the toughness and majesty of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, his physical condition was far worse than at the beginning.

There is still a slight chill in the early morning of May, and now many Beijing officials are finding various excuses to be absent from the early court, with the age and body of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, there is no need to insist on entering the palace to go to the court.

"It's okay, my father-in-law hasn't reached the point of being decrepit and old enough to be bedridden!"

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yongqiang held back his cough and pretended not to care, as a veteran of Rongma for half his life, he didn't want his son to be underestimated, this may be the last pride that Zhu Yong has always maintained.

"In the past few days, the imperial court has received urgent reports from the border gates, and the Tartar soldiers and horses have been plundering everywhere, resulting in heavy casualties among the army and civilians, and the loss of property by the people is immeasurable."

"Yi'er led the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and has gone to Juyong Pass again to deter the three guards of Wuliangha, and Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, has also returned to Xuanfu from the Beijing division to prevent the Tartars from breaking through the pass and repeating the siege of the Beijing division last year."

"If nothing else, His Majesty should officially order you to go to Liaodong this time, and at the same time to conquer the three guards of Wuliang Ha, and at the same time pull the Tartar soldiers and horses from the flanks to reduce the pressure on the Xuanda defense line."

The reason why Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, rode in a carriage with Shen Yichen was to discuss the current situation on the frontier, after all, he had fought with the Mongol tribes for decades, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty had more experience than him.

Shen Yichen is about to be the governor of Liaodong, and Zhu Yong hopes to use his experience to help, maybe this is the only thing he can do for his son at present, to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

"Xuanfu has Huichangbo Yang Hong to sit in the town, Datong has Dingxiangbo Guo Deng to stick to it, and it is almost impossible to break through the customs first. The younger generation guessed that he committed a large-scale border attack this time in order to divert the contradictions and reduce the internal pressure brought by the accession to the throne for the Khan, and at the same time use the plundered wealth to win over some of the old Mongolian nobles and gain their support. ”

Shen Yichen said his conjecture, in fact, even if the Ming Dynasty in the early and middle stages did not have a defense line like the Great Wall, there was not much disadvantage in the face of the Mongolian iron cavalry. Yanghe, Harrier Ridge, and Tumubao suffered several fiascos, and the problem was not in combat effectiveness, but because of the chaos in internal command.

Yang Hong and Guo Deng didn't dare to say anything peerless, but their ability and command were definitely at the middle and upper level, even at the most critical moment after the defeat of Tumubao, the Mongolian iron cavalry led by them first did not capture the two important towns of Datong and Xuanfu, and it was even more impossible now.

For this, Shen Yichen has absolute confidence!

"Then did you think of a little bit, and the first offense was actually Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, which was intended for Pei Gong?"

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong asked meaningfully.

"Please also ask Grandpa to make it clear."

"The leader of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, my father has dealt with them several times, and they are all capricious, hoping to maintain their independent status between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia."

"The news of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Wuliangha, I believe they have already learned that it is almost impossible to resist the encirclement of the Liaodong Army and the Beijing camp on both sides with the strength of the three guards. They either fled to the desert north, or surrendered and pretended to be submissive, waiting for another rebellion in the future. ”

"Now the Ming Dynasty is determined to swallow its land and collect its people, and the past system of surrender and rebellion will not work. The Varat Department on the grassland has been unified, and there is also no place for the three guards of Wuliang Ha, and this duke judges that they will ask for the assistance of sending troops first to annex the capital of Liaodong! ”

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, expressed his conjecture, how is the Liaodong Dusi not a sword hanging over their heads for Mongolia?

Whenever the Ming Dynasty Jingying went on a northern expedition, the Liaodong Dusi cooperated with the western expedition, threatening the flanks of the Mongol soldiers and horses, and now it hindered the ambition of the Tiansheng Khan to annex the Jurchen three tribes and subdue Korea.

Liaodong is not dead, and even if the Jurchen and North Korea are obedient, there is a possibility that they will repeatedly jump sideways. This is why the Ming Dynasty could give up Nu'er Gandusi, but under the premise that the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty was about to destroy the country, it never gave up the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

Whoever occupies Liaodong will gain absolute strategic advantage!
