Chapter Twenty-Six: Plotting against Warat and Killing with a Knife
Ge Cheng has been the long history of Yanwangfu since the Lao Zhu period.
He was ordered by Lao Zhu to return to Beijing to do something.
In the face of Lao Zhu's inquiry, he did not hide it at all, and reported the affairs of Yanwangfu to Lao Zhu according to the real situation.
In the Zhu Yunwen period, because of the cutting of the domain, Zhu Di chose to pretend to be sick to show weakness.
Ge Cheng also reported to the imperial court, saying that Zhu Di still relied on the stove in the summer, and he was very afraid of the cold, and it was estimated that after a while, he would die soon.
Zhu Yunwen was convinced at first, but later Xu Huizu's siblings made him suspicious, so he secretly sent someone to plot against Ge Cheng.
As a result, Ge Cheng was not only successfully countered by Zhu Yunwen, but also prepared to unite with Chen Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Xie Gui, Zhang Xin and others, the commander of Beiping, to join forces with each other and capture Zhu Di alive.
However, this plan was finally recognized by Zhu Di and ended in failure.
Ge Cheng, Chen Yu and others were also killed by Zhu Di's order.
Zhu Le looked at Ge Cheng who was riding a horse, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't look normal until he knelt in front of him.
"Ge Cheng, meet His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"Well, Ge Changshi, how is the Yan Wangfu?"
Ge Cheng replied respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, everything is as usual. ”
After speaking, he had some doubts in his heart, why did this Yan King return to the fiefdom overnight, could it be that something big happened?
"Since everything is as usual, let's go home, the princess and the others are also tired." Zhu Le said lightly.
"Yes!" Ge Cheng saluted respectfully, then led someone to take over the carriage and drove towards the other side of the Lugou Bridge.
Zhu Le returned to the carriage and was about to close his eyes to recuperate, when Yao Guangxiao, who was sitting opposite, suddenly asked him, "Does the prince think this person is wrong?" ”
"Who?"
"The history of the Yan Wang's Mansion, Ge Cheng."
Zhu Le smiled dumbly, raised his hand and said, "Whatever the master wants to say, just say it." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that this person is appointed by Taizu, loyal to Daming, loyal to Taizu."
"Huh!"
Zhu Le sighed, and said in his heart that Yao Guangxiao really likes to knock on the side, which is thought-provoking.
You say that he is loyal to Lao Zhu and Daming, but he does not say that he is loyal to himself, isn't this clearly saying that people have two hearts?
And it's no wonder.
As soon as Ge Cheng made a move in history, he was recognized by Zhu Di and successfully counter-killed. To say that there is no secret that he has long been discovered that he is Erwuzai, Zhu Le does not believe it.
"This king just has something that needs to be done by manpower, this Ge Cheng, this king thinks it's quite suitable!" Zhu Le smiled lightly.
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, his heart moved, and there was a hidden brilliance in his eyes, and he asked tentatively: "What did the prince say?" ”
"Master, do you remember the king's first plan?" Zhu Le asked rhetorically.
"The prince's first plan?" Yao Guangxiao was stunned, and then asked tentatively: "Could it be a border war?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhu Le nodded and said with a smile: "Today's Warat, the wind is surging, and some people are almost unable to sit still, we might as well light a fire and make them lively." ”
"Oh? Does the prince have any news from the Warat? ”
Yao Guangxiao had long known that there was an undercover agent of Daming on the side of Warabu, so when he heard Zhu Le's words, he immediately became interested.
But Zhu Le didn't know about the undercover agent at all, he just thought of a major event that changed the situation in Mobei based on history.
"The lord of the Warat tribe, Ugqi, has greatly increased in strength, and has long been dissatisfied with the Northern Yuan Erlebok Khan, and recently got closer to the eldest son of Erlebok Khan, Kun Timur, this king speculates that the two may be plotting to seize the throne!"
"This ......"
Yao Guangxiao was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "If Ugqi supports Likun Timur as the Great Khan, won't the actual control of Warat fall into his hands?" ”
'It's obvious, so we have to take advantage of it before he takes the position.' Zhu Le said, as if he remembered something, and added: "But you can't let him sit big, you must find a way to split Warat." ”
"Only by letting them completely strife can Daming have a chance to pacify Mobei!"
"That'...... What is the prince going to do? ”
Zhu Le thought for a while and said in a low voice: "This king is going to send an envoy to propose the establishment of a horse market to Elbok Khan, and then secretly contact Ugqi to support him!" ”
"How do I show my support?"
"Naturally, it is a rebellion!"
Yao Guangxiao muttered: "While sending envoys to propose the establishment of a horse market, while raising troops to invade the territory, Elbok Khan will definitely be furious, and then kill the envoys and transfer troops to fight against our army!" ”
"At that time, the internal emptiness of the Yuan court is just right for Ugqi to take advantage of the void and kill Erlebok Khan to seize the throne."
"After Ugqi seizes the throne, he will definitely want to recover the lost territory, and we will fight and retreat, which can not only deceive the imperial court's cutting of the domain, but also develop with the trend....."
"What does the master think of this?" Zhu Le asked rhetorically with a smile.
Yao Guangxiao squinted his eyes and said: "What a plan to kill people with a knife!" ”
"But ......," he said, and then he continued, "It seems a pity to just kill people with a knife." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Le knew that Yao Guangxiao was resourceful, so he needed to humbly ask: "What else does the master want to add?" ”
Yao Guangxiao pondered for a moment and replied: "According to the poor monk's opinion, since the prince doesn't want Ugqi to sit big, it is better to secretly support his hostile forces and let them fight with each other!" ”
"Although the idea is good, there is a risk of raising tigers!"
Zhu Le shook his head and said, "This king only needs to gain time to prepare, and there is no need to waste too much energy on them." ”
"What's more, Ugqi can't control Warat for long, and there will be new forces to replace it."
"Why is the prince so sure?" Yao Guangxiao asked a little puzzled.
Zhu Le glanced at him and said faintly: "The grassland people are different from the Central Plains people, they have no tradition to settle down, and they have been fighting for power and profit all their lives. Ugqi was able to kill the Khan and seize the throne, and the leaders of other tribes could follow suit. ”
"Therefore, this king only needs to open the precedent of Ugqi killing Khan to seize the throne, and the various tribes of Warat will definitely be chaotic and even completely divided."
What he said was the truth, because the historical Warat, it was precisely because of this Khan killing that he seized the throne and gradually moved towards division.
However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was also in a civil war and missed the best opportunity to destroy the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Later, Warat split into a Tatar and became the 'overlord' in the east, and was in civil war with the Warat in the west.
Even after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Daming was often harassed by these two 'overlords'.
However, Da Ming will convince them every time.
But it was only a convincing, and it was not completely solved.
The real solution to the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
It took more than two hundred years for the Ming Dynasty to solve the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it took only a few decades for the Qing Dynasty, which is quite ironic.
Sometimes opportunities are like that, and once you miss them, you really miss them.
But Zhu Le felt that it didn't matter.
There are pros and cons to everything.
The Ming Dynasty did not take the opportunity to destroy the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty because Zhu Yunwen cut the domain and destroyed the overall situation of Lao Zhu.
But Zhu Di also seized the throne because of the cutting of the domain.
Therefore, it is imperative to seize the throne first.
As long as he seized the throne, Zhu Le had the means to solve the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
It certainly doesn't have to be handed over to future generations, or even the Braided Dynasty to solve.
