Chapter 348: Only One Way to Naturalize
Since Ma Chengfei said that he would talk about business tomorrow, Nuke was real, so he no longer spoke, but only said that he drove a group of cattle and sheep to come, wanting to win the favor of Ma Chengfei and others first.
Hunak Du Ling knew that things might not be so simple, but Ma Chengfei kept his mouth shut, and he was not easy to ask, forced a smile, and accompanied him to drink and eat.
"In a few days it will be the Spring Festival, and Nuke and Lord Hunak have come from afar, so they will spend the New Year here before leaving." Ma Chengfei suddenly opened his mouth and proposed: "I am afraid that the new governor of Liaodong, Lord Wu, will not arrive until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he will nod and agree to major affairs. ”
Hunak asked tentatively: "Lord Yuan is the emperor's master, he is acting in Liaodong, can't he still be the master?" ”
Ma Chengfei smiled and said, "Lord Yuan naturally has a holy family, but he is about to leave office, and caution is certain. It is not a matter of urgency, and it is left to the next governor, which will not cause trouble, but also save face for the successor. ”
Nuke didn't know much about the rules of Ming Dynasty officialdom, and blinked his big eyes, showing a look of confusion.
Hunak Du Ling sighed secretly, admitting that Ma Chengfei was reasonable.
Now that Liaodong has been pacified and the biggest threat of the Ming Dynasty has been lifted, the policies and attitudes towards the Mongol tribes will most likely change.
If Yuan Keli didn't get the permission and authorization of the imperial court, he would leave office immediately, so why bother making trouble for himself? Wouldn't it be better to wait for the new governor to deal with it with the new measures of the imperial court?
Whoever let the civil strife of the Mongolian tribes has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, and the Houjin is finished, and the Mongolian tribes will lose the qualifications to bargain left and right.
Therefore, Hunak Duling believes that the matter of him and Nuke coming to ask for assistance is not a hundred thousand urgency in the eyes of Ming officials.
Of course, Hunakdulen did not know that the plans and guidelines for the Mongol tribes had already been formulated. While the situation has changed the strategy, the main thrust remains the same.
The primary goal was to naturalize the Mongol tribes and become the subjects of the Ming Dynasty. This was also the safest for the Mongol tribes, and Lin Dan Khan did not dare to risk war with the Ming Dynasty and continue his crusade against the tribes that did not return.
In the early days of Liaodong, the emperor was still able to approve the annexation, which was equivalent to the form of an alliance. But Jiannu has fled to Haixi, and it will be difficult to satisfy the emperor if he joins him.
Nuuk had already drunk a lot of wine, and he was young, and he did not have the meticulous thinking of Hunak Dulen, and he was more and more relaxed and hearty.
He only saw the closeness of the generals of the Ming army to him, but he didn't know that when it came to major events, personal relationships were no longer ranked.
was eating and drinking, Ma Chengfei's eyes moved, and he stretched out his hand with a smile and greeted: "Wu Keshan, why is it only now, but you have to be punished for drinking." ”
Wu Keshan and his brother Chahan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and their sudden appearance surprised both Hunak Duling and Nuke.
Looking at the surprised and puzzled expressions of the two, Ma Chengfei explained with a smile: "Wu Keshan and Chahan are now the Zasaks of the middle and rear districts of the right wing of Horqin appointed by my Ming Dynasty, which are equivalent to the Baylor of the Mongolian tribe, and will lead their subordinates to naturalize the Ming Dynasty. ”
Wu Keshan arched his hand and said: "Long live the emperor's grace and forgive us and other sinners." ”
Naturalization? Or do you take the original people with you?
Hunak Du Ling's eyes narrowed, and he guessed the strategy of the Ming Emperor.
In fact, the Korqin tribe had been defeated, and its people were either captured and received by other tribes, or scattered and fled.
Of course, the Horqin grassland is very large, and the joint crusade of the Chahar Department and the Ming army only basically wiped out its upper nobles.
However, it is not easy to occupy the entire Horqin steppe and gather all its troops.
Therefore, after Wu Keshan and Chahan took office in Zasak, they showed their banners, and they were still able to recruit a lot of scattered Korqin tribesmen.
This move was very unfavorable to Hunak Duleng, because the troops he led escaped from Lin Dan Khan and fled to the Horqin grassland to take refuge.
Wu Keshan and Chahan re-raised the banner of the Korqin Tribe, and it would be difficult for Hunak Duling to improve his strength by recruiting the scattered herdsmen of the former Korqin Tribe.
More importantly, there is no legitimate reason for the development of the Horqin grassland, and it may be allowed by the Ming court.
"Congratulations!" Hunak Duling raised his glass to Wu Keshan and Chahan, and said with a smile: "The Horqin right-wing area is a good place, I don't know when the two of you will go to work?" ”
When Wu Keshan saw Hunak Duling and Nuke, he guessed why he called their brothers to come for a drink, and also heard the meaning of "Korqin right-wing area" emphasized by Hunak Duling.
Hunak Duling means that although we live in the Horqin grassland, you are not the masters of the Horqin grassland. Emperor Daming only gave you two districts on the right flank, and you have no reason to drive us away.
Wu Keshan sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and smiled faintly at Hunak Duleng: "Long live is looking for candidates, and the front, middle, and rear districts of Horqin's left wing will be appointed soon." ”
Hunak Dulen's expression froze.
I originally thought that the Horqin Department had been destroyed, and the Horqin Grassland was a borderless land that would be divided by the surrounding tribes, but I never expected that the Ming Emperor would push the nobles of the Horqin Department out again.
Whoever has the big fist has the final say. Hunak Duling smiled bitterly and understood this sentence deeply.
If Jiannu had not been defeated and Liaodong had not been pacified, the Ming Emperor would definitely not have been like this. In the current situation, the Ming Emperor stretched out his hand to fight for the grassland, but the Mongolian tribes who were at odds with Lin Dan Khan had almost no choice.
Lin Dan Khan pressed tightly, and the Mongol tribes were certainly not opponents. Without the protection of the Ming State and the protection of the Ming army, defeat is a certain thing.
Obviously, the Ming State will not lend a helping hand to the Mongol tribes who refuse to be naturalized. The reason is also very sufficient, the Ming Dynasty does not care about the internal disputes in Mongolia, and there is no excuse to intervene.
If the Ming Dynasty is naturalized, it is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army will have a legitimate reason to send troops to confront the Chahar Department.
Nuke shook his somewhat dazed head, realized the seriousness of the matter, and frowned.
Wu Keshan and Chahan looked at the faces and expressions of Hunak Duling and Nuke, glanced at each other, and a sense of pleasure of revenge floated in their hearts.
A year ago, it was these two guys, with the help of the Ming army, who broke through the city of Geljurgen in the Korqin tribe and captured them and their families.
Now, given that their brothers were trusted by the Ming army, Hunak Duling and Nuke would be alienated from the Ming army until they were willing to lead their troops to naturalize.
"The Horqin grassland is very big!" Ma Chengfei said in words: "Around the prairie, you still have a common language. Don't worry, let's talk while eating! ”
A common language?!
Hunak Du Ling glanced at Wu Keshan, nodded helplessly, and said in his heart: The common language of fart is not all your conspiracy.
