Chapter 157: Zhu Han's One Sentence, Subduing the Monan Grassland [Seeking to Follow]
"It's too polite, these are what you should do!" Hocker said with a smile.
Wang Baobao followed Hawker all the way to meet the Empress Dowager Qi's chariot, a huge chariot pulled by twenty horses, and the woman sitting on the soft couch was gorgeously dressed, she was the Empress Dowager Qi of Dayuan.
"Queen Mother!"
"Participate in the Queen Mother!" After Wang Baobao and Hawker came in, they immediately saluted respectfully to the Qi clan.
"Get up!" Qi Shi waved his hand vigorously.
Then he shifted his gaze, looked out of the car window, and asked Wang Baobao: "This is the River of Difficulty?" ”
"Yes! Dowager! Wang Baobao said.
Hocker knew how to read words and feelings, and when he saw Wang Baobao and Queen Mother Qi, a pair of men and women, with warm eyes, he immediately withdrew with interest.
After Hocker left, the Qi clan in the carriage suddenly turned serious and said to Wang Baobao: "Brother Bao'er, I'm afraid our situation is dangerous!" ”
"Why did the Queen Mother say this?" Wang Baobao asked.
"I have received the news just now that after the Ming army captured Dadu, it also deployed 100,000 troops, and it will definitely not let us go!" Qi said worriedly.
"Queen Mother, you don't have to be afraid, with my Wang Baobao, no matter what happens, I will try my best to protect the Queen Mother." Wang Baobao said with an oath.
"It's a pity that the mourning family can't help you!" Qi said with some shame.
"The Queen Mother, don't say that! If there is no Queen Mother, where is my Wang Baobao today, my Wang Baobao will never let the Queen Mother down. ”
The Dayuan court has now retreated to the banks of the Mobei Troubled River, and their only hope is to unite the various tribes in the Mongolian steppe and unite around the Dayuan court to jointly resist the future northern expedition of the Ming army.
And if you want to unite the various tribes of the Mongolian steppe, then the only sign is the blood of the Golden Family.
Genghis Khan left a glorious legacy to his descendants, the greatest of which is the nobility of the golden family bloodline.
Even after more than 100 years, the various tribes of the steppe still respect the descendants of Genghis Khan as orthodox.
Now that Wang Baobao is in the same boat with the Empress Dowager Qi and the little emperor Aiyou, Wang Baobao naturally has to do his best to ensure the power and status of the Empress Dowager Qi.
When the Empress Dowager Qi came to Mobei, all the important figures of the entire Great Yuan Dynasty had all moved to Mobei, and Wang Baobao assisted the left court in the name of the crown prince and prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and immediately ordered the various tribes to let their tribal leaders gather together on the banks of the Mobei River to convene the Nale Gutai Conference.
Nalegutai, which means the Council of Kings.
Although more than 100,000 people in the Great Yuan court have migrated to Mobei today, the population of other tribes is even larger, and Wang Baobao must give them full attention if he wants to unite the various tribes of the Mongolian steppe.
At this Nalgutai Congress, the crown prince and prince Wang Baobao gave full autonomy to the tribal leaders, and only required them to provide the necessary troops to defend the Yuan court in the event of an invasion by the Ming army.
As for the usual taxes and tribute, Wang Baobao did not have the slightest hard requirements for each tribe, if any tribe wanted to honor the Empress Dowager Qi or the Emperor of the Great Yuan, then it was all up to their personal wishes, and the Great Yuan Court would never force it.
In fact, this is the reason why the Great Yuan Court has limited control over the various tribes on the grassland.
For these grassland tribes, they did not buy Wang Baobao's account, they were originally able to live quietly on the grassland, a large part of the reason is that the Great Yuan Court will give them rich rewards every year, whether it is food or cloth, all will meet their requirements for winter and cold.
And now that the Great Yuan Imperial Court has retreated to the Mobei grassland, it is already difficult to protect itself, and it is impossible to give them rich rewards at all.
There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for how the tribes will survive the difficult winter this year.
How could anyone take the initiative to give the Great Yuan Emperor and the Queen Mother any cattle and sheep food.
Isn't that full-fed?
Therefore, after the Nalegutai Conference was held, although the various tribes still nominally respected the orders and orthodoxy of the Great Yuan Emperor, after the return of the leaders of the various tribes, they were all extremely disappointed with the Great Yuan Court.
Now that the weather has entered autumn, some tribes that lack food and grass to survive the winter have begun to sharpen their knives.
As the saying goes, my neighbor is my gun, and my neighbor is my granary.
Now the Ming army in the south is invincible, and it belongs to the objects that the Mongolian tribes dare not provoke, and the Mongolian tribes naturally dare not go south to fight the grass valley and rob.
In this way, the object of their robbery becomes their fellow neighbors on the steppe.
In just one month, more than a dozen tribes were caught in the chaos of the Fire Alliance.
The prestige of the Great Yuan Court could not prevent these tribes from stopping the disputes, except for the various tribes in the east that were closest to the Great Yuan Court, the entire Moxi Mongolia fell into chaos.
At this time, winter on the steppe is also coming soon.
Strong winds mixed with snowflakes raged throughout the Mobei grassland.
In just one day, the camp of the Great Yuan Imperial Court in Mobei fell into a vast sea of snow.
Even before moving to Mobei, the Great Yuan Imperial Court had prepared sufficient grain, grass and cloth, but in the face of such a harsh snowstorm, there were still many people who did not carry it.
A few days later, when the blizzard stopped.
The entire Dayuan Imperial Court camped in Mobei, and more than 100 people froze to death.
Although most of these people who froze to death were old and weak, it was a heavy morale blow to these Mongols who had just come to the Mobei steppe from the Central Plains.
Wow wow!
With a burst of baby crying, coming out of a yurt, I remember that the Dayuan Xingying station brought a hint of joy.
Empress Dowager Qi, who was ten months pregnant, gave birth to a young son.
"I'm a dad, I'm a dad!" Wang Baobao whispered excitedly in the tent.
The reason why he whispered was because although everyone knew about this matter, Wang Baobao was the child's father, but no one would come to pierce this layer of window paper on the surface.
"Heaven and man induction, heaven and man induction, the first emperor bless the Great Yuan Dynasty!"
After Empress Dowager Qi gave birth to her son, a large number of Han cultural officials such as Kong Kejian, the Holy Duke of Dayuanyan, braved the wind and snow, and congratulated loudly outside the camp.
The Great Yuan Dynasty fled north from the capital, followed by a large number of Han Chinese officials.
Among them is headed by Kong Kejian, the Holy Father of Yan.
As for a large number of military generals, whether Han or Mongol, many of them surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and stayed in the Central Plains.
As long as the military generals hand over their military power and territory, they can basically be exempted from the crime and punishment of traitors and traitors.
And Confucianism is dressed up as a traitor, but he has no capital to atone for his sins to the Ming Dynasty, and it is understandable to follow the Mongols to run.
Although the days of running away from Mobei are not easy, I have to grit my teeth and persevere.
Emperor Tuhuan Timur died for three years, and the widow Qi Shi who was left behind gave birth to a big fat boy.
Such a big happy event is naturally to be celebrated by the whole world.
It's just that now all the materials in Mobei are very precious, and the prince and prince Wang Baobao want to be generous, but they don't have the capital to be generous, so they can only give each official a leg of mutton, even if it is a reward.
In the warm tent, Wang Baobao looked at the little baby in his arms, and his eyes showed a new ambition.
"My son, you are the Great Yuan Imperial Family!"
"I will make you the lord of the steppe in the future!"
The Queen Mother Qi on the side didn't know about the change in her lover's mood.
All she could think about now was what a good name she should give her youngest son.
"Brother Bao, let's give the child a name!" Empress Dowager Qi said.
Wang Baobao thought about it seriously for a while, and then said solemnly.
"Bayan Timur!"
Empress Dowager Qi also knows some Mongolian, so she naturally knows that this is a good name.
"Bayan Timur, you will be the second prince of Dayuan in the future!" Empress Dowager Qi looked at her youngest son with a doting expression.
In recent years, with the exception of her own son Aiyou, the rest of the young sons of the dead ghost emperor Tuhuan Timur have all died of inexplicable illness.
Therefore, now the royal bloodline of the Great Yuan Dynasty has only one Aiyou, plus a newborn Bayan Timur.
Because of the birth of Bayan Timur, the Great Yuan court on the Mongolian steppe was full of joy.
Yingchang City on the Menan Grassland did not have such a jubilant atmosphere, but a thick dull depression shrouded in Yingchang City.
The Great Wall of Ying was originally the Shangjing Prefecture of other Liao Kingdoms, and it was also a very important city during the Jin Kingdom.
In the Mengyuan Dynasty, Yingchang City, although not the capital, but also has a very important position, here belongs to the nomadic and agricultural convergence of the area, for each tribe is the first prosperous and rich city of the grassland.
It's just that Yingchang is too close to the Central Plains, and the short road of hundreds of miles makes it possible for the Ming army to break through Yingchang at any time.
Therefore, the army of the Mengyuan court led by Wang Baobao all fled to the bank of the Mobei River, and there was only one Li Siqi who defended in Yingcheng.
Most of the Han exile troops led by Li Siqi were in Shanxi and Henan, and they had all kinds of unsuitable situations after entering the grassland, so they did not follow Wang Baobao's army to the Mobei grassland, but stayed and stationed in Yingchang.
Now that the weather has entered winter, the strong winds and blizzards on the grassland make Li Siqi's subordinates feel extremely difficult, and because it is too close to the Central Plains, the news of the Ming army's preparations in Beiping also makes Li Siqi's subordinates in Yingchang very frightened.
And the surrounding Mongol tribes did not identify with these Han Chinese armies.
They often robbed and stole the grain, grass and sheep hoarded by Li Siqi's subordinates.
After the two sides entered the winter, more than a dozen clashes broke out, large and small, and in the end, they were all suppressed by Li Siqi with strong means.
But in this way, the Mongols around Yingchang were very hostile to Li Siqi and others.
Li Siqi's army had nowhere else to go except for Ying Chang.
The panicked information of the Meng Yuan army in Yingcheng was quickly transmitted to the Northern Parallel Division.
After Xu Da, the governor of the Northern Parallel Capital of the Ming Dynasty, learned of this information, he immediately sent someone to report this information to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han of Yingtianfu.
After Zhu Han got the information, he immediately suggested to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to send someone to Yingchang to carry out the rebellion.
"Li Siqi's tens of thousands of troops are basically Han people, they joined the army at that time is nothing more than a life-saving job, now my Ming Guang to restore the Central Plains is the time to need manpower, if we can recruit these tens of thousands of Han people to the Ming Dynasty again, it can not only strengthen our strength, but also weaken the momentum of Meng Yuan."
Zhu Han's words were immediately approved by Zhu Yuanzhang,
After the two brothers completed their discussion, they immediately asked their second brother-in-law Li Zhen's Seven Seas Trading Company, which is now the secret intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, to send an envoy and a caravan to Yingchang Mansion.
After several years of operation, the second brother-in-law Li Zhen is no longer the honest small businessman he was at the beginning, but a proper intelligence expert.
After sending out a few more waves of caravans and spies.
The second brother-in-law, Li Zhen, quickly grasped Ying Chang's situation clearly.
Li Siqi and others in Yingchang were in a difficult situation, and Wang Baobao of Mobei was no longer able to take care of them, so it was naturally reasonable for the Mengyuan army composed of these Han people to return to the Ming Dynasty, and it was not a conspiracy like a deception at all.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Han immediately sent the most capable cadre to get in touch with Li Siqi.
The two sides quickly set a time and a contact method for the uprising.
In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, October 29.
Mengyuan general Li Siqi led 30,000 subordinate soldiers, raised troops in Yingchang to revolt and killed more than 20 Mengyuan officials and other local generals, announced the change of flag, and returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Da, the governor of the Northern Parallel Metropolitan Division of the Ming Dynasty, personally led 30,000 troops from Beiping.
rushed to the grassland to respond to Li Siqi.
In less than three days, Yingchang and the surrounding lands and tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles were all controlled by the Ming army.
The entire Monan steppe was shaken, and the Ming army took over Yingchang, set up defenses there, and then issued a proclamation to the surrounding Mongol tribes.
The Northern Parallel Capital of the Ming Dynasty declared sovereignty over the Monan grassland, and if the various tribes on the grassland want to continue to live and graze here, they must send people to Yingchang to swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, if they do not come, they will be regarded as enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they will inevitably be expelled and expelled by the Ming army in the future.
The various tribes on the Monan grassland suddenly panicked and had no ideas.
These tribes have lived on the steppe for hundreds of years and have never thought of leaving the land, but if they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it will be very difficult for them.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is a fierce and vicious existence for the Mongols, and the Mengyuan court on the Mobei grassland also has hundreds of thousands of troops, once these tribes surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is unknown whether they will be criminally questioned by the Mengyuan court in the Mobei grassland.
So these steppe tribes are in a state of hesitation.
And Ying Chang's general Li Siqi had already led his subordinates back to the Central Plains at this time, and any grievances and hatreds on the grassland from then on had nothing to do with Li Siqi.
Li Siqi was whipped by Xu Da's army and sent to Yingtianfu together with the Li family's scrolls.
After entering Yingtianfu, Li Siqi wore a white coat and met Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as a guilty person.
In front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
Zhu Yuanzhang generously ordered Li Siqi to be given a red official uniform symbolizing high-ranking officials.
In order to show the world the tolerance and generosity of the Ming Dynasty.
When Li Siqi fought against the Red Turban Army in Shanxi and Henan, he had a lot of blood debts on his hands, not only slaughtering the soldiers of the Red Turban Army, but also plundering the local people.
But Zhu Han persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, for such a small role, it is really not worth damaging Daming's reputation for tolerance and generosity.
So under Zhu Han's persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang still rewarded Li Siqi with an earl.
Then he was given an idle position as the commander of the Goryeo Metropolitan Protectorate.
