583 Suzerain's Means (2-in-1)

Throughout the early and middle periods of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen was far less important than the Tatars, after all, compared to the Great Yuan or the Mongol Empire, the Jurchen Sanbu was just a small fishing and hunting tribe, how could it be put in the eyes.

But it was precisely such a fishing and hunting tribe that survived in the gap between the Mongol Khanate and the Ming Dynasty, and grew step by step to become the Later Jin, and even completed the steps of snake swallowing elephants to establish the Qing Empire.

In fact, the time point of the rise of the Jurchens is much earlier than many people's historical cognition, and during the orthodox dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens relied on trade to grow, and they had already begun to show their backbones, and the entire Jingtai Dynasty actually played a combination of vertical and horizontal.

It's a pity that they met the Chenghua Emperor, who was more martial arts, and under the situation of the decline of the Ming Dynasty's strength after the Tumubao Change, he ordered the commander-in-chief Zhao Fu to hang the seal of the general Jinglu, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, and Li Bing, the governor of Zuodu Yushi and Liaodong, was the deputy commander-in-chief, and led the army to recruit the Jianzhou Jurchens.

At the same time, the Ming court also issued an order to the Korean king Li Jiao, asking him to send troops to cooperate with the Ming army to encircle and suppress the Jianzhou Jurchens, forming a two-sided attack on the three guards of Jianzhou.

This war almost appeared a one-sided posture in the back, the Jianzhou Jurchen Three Acropolis Walled City was all breached, the tribal leader Aixin Jueluo Dong Shan was killed in Guangning, Liaodong, and almost the entire Jianzhou Jurchen Three Guards were close to extinction!

The reason why this war is called "Chenghua Plough Court" is actually an adjective close to the truth, which means that the territory of the Jurchen Sanwei in Jianzhou was repeatedly ploughed and swept like cultivated land, directly interrupting the rise of the Jurchens.

The impact was far-reaching, and it was not relieved for more than 100 years, until the birth of Nurhachi, the fifth grandson of Dong Shan, which changed the weak situation of the three Jurchen tribes and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Qing Dynasty later.

Shen Yichen knew the direction of the entire history, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether the Jurchen Sanbu would rise in more than a hundred years, after all, he wouldn't live to that time. But he can be sure that there will be no luck with the rise of the Qing Dynasty, at least during his own reign.

The three Jurchen tribes can hide for a while, they can't hide for a while, Shen Yichen will force the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Dusi to continue to conquer, and sweep all cultivated land and forest farms. Fishermen and hunters did not live a completely indefinite life like nomads, and in order to withstand the cold, they had to build permanent shelters and replenish large quantities of meat.

As long as the Liaodong army maintained a strong posture, it would continue to destroy the walled cities of the Jurchen Sanwei in Jianzhou, seize their hunting grounds, and frantically plow the court and sweep the caves. You just need to wait for the arrival of winter, and the other party will come to a dead end and wagging its tail and begging for mercy!

In order for agriculture to become the direction of civilization evolution, and to occupy the richest and warmest land on the continent, it is because the supply capacity of both sides for logistics is not at the same level.

The Ming Dynasty led by Shen Yichen will become the most powerful backing of the Liaodong Army, allowing them to go on a reckless expedition without worries, demonstrating the prosperity of the "Han Army"!

Shang Shi didn't understand Shen Yichen's tough attitude towards conquest, but he didn't object. The reason is that after so many years of getting along, Shen Yichen has his own reasons for everything he does, and he has been proven right afterwards.

It is not difficult to take the right step, but the difficult thing is to take the right step by step, and now the business has a blind trust in Shen Yichen.

"In that case, then according to your ideas, order the Liaodong Army to continue to conquer the three Jurchen tribes in winter until the other party completely collapses and surrenders."

Shang Chen expressed in a strong tone, now that the imperial court tax has followed the open source rhythm of the Jingtai Dynasty for several years, and there is no large-scale Northern Expedition against the Tartars, he has the confidence to support the Liaodong Army's partial conquest of the Jianzhou Jurchen Sanwei.

"Hmm."

Shen Yichen nodded, and then added: "In addition, the attitude of the imperial court king Li Yao to admit his mistakes is good, but if he is not subordinate, he can resolve it with just a letter of "Confession of Guilt", where is the face and majesty of the suzerain? ”

"Shunyi Wang Mengke's side, we have good food and drink to supply him and the Tatar Ministry for three years, since you can't pry the corner of the first wall, you have to play a role from other places."

"Didn't the Li dynasty take advantage of the unpreparedness of the previous emperors to expand its territory from the vicinity of the Datong River to the Yalu River and the Tumen River? simply ordered Shunyi Wang Mengke to lead his Tatar troops to seize these places, and I believe he would definitely be very happy. ”

The Tatar leader Meng Ke was single-handedly supported by Shen Yichen, and later inherited the canonization of the "Shunyi King" of the Ming Dynasty and the title of "Mongolian Khan".

Shen Yichen's original intention was to use the bloodline of the Mengke Golden Family to create a puppet Great Khan and an army of assistants, triggering a dispute over the legal system of the Great Yuan Tiansheng Dynasty established first, and dividing and disintegrating the entire Mongolian tribe from within.

As a result, the development of the later plan was unsatisfactory, mainly due to three reasons, the first point is that after the end of the battle of Liaodong by Shen Yichen, he was stationed in Monan Mongolia to expand its territory, and the transmission of information in ancient times was very time-consuming, and it was very difficult to command Liaodong remotely.

The second point is that Meng Ke collected a number of Tatar remnants, and the three guards of Wuliang Ha were swept away, and some tribes also chose to take refuge in Meng Ke, who has the blood of the golden family. As a result, his strength increased greatly, which made Shen Yichen a little jealous, and he didn't dare to continue to support it, for fear that he would eventually raise a tiger.

The last point is that the prestige of the Heavenly Sage Khan is too high, and the Great Khan recognized by the previous Mongolian tribes has not been spent, and they have all been dried up first, not to mention a crown prince who has no qualifications and prestige.

The Mongols are a little reckless, but there are not many fools, Meng Ke is clearly a puppet in the hands of the Ming State, even if he has the blood of the golden family, he still does not get much respect and followers, which leads to the entire division and collapse of the plan with little effect.

Since the Mongols can't be destroyed, it's better to simply attack the Koreans, there is the temptation of a piece of territory, you can get rid of the situation under the fence, I believe that Meng Ke will definitely attack with all his strength!

Hearing that Shen Yichen asked Meng Ke to capture the territory of North Korea, Shang Shi looked puzzled. Not to mention that King Li Yao has a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and the other party is a country that is not to be conquered, Shen Yichen is a little immoral in doing this.

Just Shunyi Wang Mengke, his identity and bloodline are destined not to surrender to the Ming Dynasty forever, and when he gets the opportunity, he will inevitably have a rebellion. If you put it in Liaodong Capital, you can still rely on the powerful Liaodong Army to suppress it, and if you put it in North Korea, it will be endless trouble after letting the tiger return to the mountain!

"To the north, can you give me a reason for you to do this?"

With such an obvious move, Shang Yu believed that Shen Yichen definitely knew, so he was curious why.

"Li Yao has a good attitude, and it is a country that Emperor Taizu does not conquest, so it is morally difficult to send troops to recover his homeland. But if the Great Ming soldiers are going to conquer the Tartar rebels and help the subject countries avoid invasion, then there is a justifiable reason to recover, and North Korea has to thank the Ming for saving the country. ”

"In the past few years, Kublai Khan's lineage has been slaughtered, and only Shunyi Wang Mengke is left, and if you want to completely conquer Mongolia, then you can't leave them any thoughts, they should be eliminated."

Shen Yichen said this in a very calm tone, but it made people feel an infinite chill in the midsummer environment, he was fighting the idea of killing two birds with one stone, and was ready to completely solve the two troubles between Meng Ke and North Korea!

"To the north, this ...... Is that good? ”

Even if Shang Chen feels that he is now much more pragmatic, he still feels a little morally unacceptable in the face of such a "despicable and shameless" scheme.

"Emperor Qin and Han Wu are known as tyrants who are reckless in their military forces, but the people who have lived in the Central Plains for generations must be grateful for their exploits, otherwise they will be divided and wars will be endless."

"If I do this, I may be infamy, but the sin is in the present and the benefits are in the future."

"Benevolence and righteousness can't shelter the people of the Ming Dynasty, only swords and swords can."

Shen Yichen didn't have the slightest sense of guilt, this kind of thing to fight for the survival space of the nation, if you don't do it when you have the ability, that is the real corpse vegetarian meal to the people!

No matter how much infamy there will be in contemporary times, how insidious and despicable it may seem, history will tell.

Shang Yu didn't know whether Shen Yichen's "utilitarian" plan to attack these vassal countries was right or wrong, but there was one thing he agreed with now, the set of Wang Dao's education has indeed been abandoned by the times, and only the sword in the hands of the Ming soldiers can ensure the peace of eternity.

"Although I can't understand it for the time being, I believe that Xiangbei is your foresight, and if you decide to do it, you will let it go, and I will unswervingly support you behind it."

Using history as a mirror to tell Shang Chen a truth, that is, the wrong direction is better than no direction. Now that Shen Yichen is in charge of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be in ruins, you must come up with absolute execution, whether it is right or wrong!

"By the way, to the north, there is one more thing I must remind you."

"What?"

"You have been busy appointing border guard generals during this time, and you have not officially gone to the Qianqing Palace to teach Your Majesty. Cao Jixiang's ambition and appetite are getting bigger and bigger, and his only reliance is on imperial power, and he can't be allowed to continue to be close like this. ”

Shang Chen's reminder was to tell Shen Yichen not to make the identity of "imperial teacher" dragged down by the government into a false name. Cao Jixiang was able to become the biggest winner of Shi Heng's mutiny, undoubtedly convincing the emperor and the Empress Dowager Hang.

If Shen Yichen wants to reverse this sign, he has to walk around the Qianqing Palace and become a veritable imperial master.

"I see."

Shen Yichen nodded, in fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to go, it was true that Shi Heng had too many affairs to deal with after the fall, for fear that it would cause a larger-scale military rebellion.

"It's useless to talk about it, go now!"

"Now?"

"Of course, I will vote for the things that were determined in the conversation just now, you can go to the Qianqing Palace to meet Your Majesty now, it doesn't matter if you give a lecture or something, Your Majesty's current age, you can get acquainted with him."

Shang Chen's words were very direct, Emperor Zhu Jianqing of the Ming Liang Dynasty was not yet five years old, and he was in the stage of literacy and learning, and any scholar could be competent, so wouldn't it be overkill to let Shen Yichen, a three-yuan and first-tier cabinet assistant, teach reading and literacy?

It doesn't matter what you teach, the important thing is to brush your familiar face more!

Hearing Shang Chen's words, Shen Yichen also felt that there was some truth, so he admitted: "Okay, then I'll go over now." ”

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies was holding a reading book and teaching Zhu Jianqing, the emperor of Ming Liang, to read and read.

To be honest, this should not be within the scope of the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, just like Shen Yichen is busy with government affairs, and the emperor is young Cao Jixiang is busy ghostwriting and approving red, even if he has time to do this kind of thing?

But the problem is that Cao Jixiang is "apprenticed" by Wang Zhen, how the other party grasped Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen step by step, and was respectfully called Mr. to obtain the status of "Weng Father", but it is clear to see.

No matter how busy the government affairs of the ceremonial supervisor and the yamen are, Cao Jixiang has to find ways to squeeze out a certain amount of time to accompany Zhu Jianqing, the emperor of Mingliang, every day, and also relies on reading and writing, just to obtain the identity of a teacher.

Only the status of a teacher can offset the humility of the eunuch status and get the true respect of the emperor!

The story that Cao Jixiang told to Emperor Zhu Jianqing of Mingliang today is the battle between Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Before the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to ensure the smooth succession of the young Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he selected four auxiliary ministers to support him, and after several years of evolution, the scene of the confrontation between the general Zuo Shangguan and the great Sima Huoguang was formed, and both sides wanted to become the ministers who controlled the government and the opposition.

It's just that Huo Guang's skills are superior, and he united with Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty to preemptively quell the rebellion and exterminate the Shangguan Ji party, and since then the Eastern Han Dynasty has entered the stage of Huo Guang's monopoly of power and governing the world on behalf of the emperor.

Cao Jixiang specially chose this story to read to Emperor Mingliang, which had an obvious hint of meaning, and wanted to bring Shi Heng into the identity of Shangguan Ji, so Shen Yichen naturally became Huo Guang and others.

And the process and result of the battle between the two parties are so similar to the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Emperor Mingliang can be brainwashed naturally without naming names.

Sure enough, when Emperor Ming Liang heard that Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty had died, Huo Guang arbitrarily deposed Liu He, the king of Changyi, and then used Liu Xun to support Ming Xuanzong to ascend the throne and so on. Even though he was still young, the emperor's instinctive offense still made him subconsciously frown, thinking that Huo Guang was not a good person.

"Cao Banban, is Huo Guang's behavior what you often call a minister?"

"That's right, the dictatorship and manipulation of the Son of Heaven are the powerful ministers that everyone shouts and beats!"

"Long live the lord, you must remember that you can't let such a powerful minister appear in the court, otherwise the Daming Sect Temple will be in danger!"

Cao Jixiang smoothly entrapped a sentence of private work, waiting for Emperor Mingliang to ask curiously who would become a minister, so that he could continue to rely on Shen Yichen by the way.

But at this time, the voice of the guards came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Shen Gong Bao asks to see you." ”

Hearing that Shi Shen Yichen was coming, Emperor Zhu Jianqing, who was originally frowning, showed a look of joy on his face, and then beckoned: "Call Mr. in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the guards received the order, they immediately turned around and passed on Shen Yichen to meet him.

Originally, Shen Yichen's sudden face made Cao Jixiang feel a little secretly unhappy, when he saw the change in Emperor Mingliang's expression, and naturally called out the word "sir", this unhappiness became a full sense of threat!

What did Shen Yichen do to make the emperor so close, could it be said that this son would not be able to do sorcery?

Some people died, but not completely......
