Chapter 121: Emperor Tianyuan's thoughts

Emperor Tian Yuan discussed many things with Timur. Finally, he got up and sent off Taintim, and after a few days of preparation, a general meeting was convened to announce all the appointments to Tamur.

Then Emperor Tianyuan summoned the prime minister, the barbarian Hague.

Emperor Tian Yuan's treatment of Taeki Timur was different from that of the barbarian Hague.

The Yuan Dynasty employs people the heels the most. But this unspoken rule has not changed until now. The heel of Taeki Timur was in the king of Ruyang, in the king of Baobao. And the barbarian Hague is much inferior. His ancestors were also officials. But their names are brought out, and most people don't recognize them.

Although the barbarian Hague also had some private soldiers, the scale was not at all comparable to that of Taeki Timur. It is also because of the support of Emperor Tianyuan that the barbarian Hague has today.

Therefore, even if Emperor Tianyuan secretly dealt with Timur, he had to be polite when facing Timur. But for the barbarian Hague it was different.

Emperor Tian Yuan first told the barbarian The Hague about his conversation with Taeki Timur, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The barbarian Hague secretly said in his heart: "What can I think? ”

Taeki Timur had the power to say no in front of Emperor Tianyuan. But the barbarians The Hague did not. The barbarian Hague could only follow Emperor Tianyuan's thoughts, he sighed and said: "It's not that the old minister slanders the Taishi, it's really the Taishi's strategy, in fact, it is to take the court to die vigorously, and it is easier to die than to live." Who wouldn't want to die, and maintain the current situation. It's the hardest part. Don't say anything else. As far as the conscription order of the Taishi is concerned, he may be able to get an army of one or two hundred thousand. But it's good to last for three months. What to do then? ”

"For the sake of big things, you can't be impulsive."

Does what the barbarian Hague said make sense? It makes so much sense. Of course, the Mongols were able to be soldiers. But logistics are a huge problem. It is also a fault of Timur's strategy. Detached Timur was in a short period of time, bursting out of the maximum military potential of the Yuan court, as for the rest. Don't care at all.

In the view of Tamur, it is difficult to say whether Dayuan will have three months later.

Emperor Tian Yuan said, "Hey. It's too old. Some omissions are also quite normal. However, now that the Taishi is in command of the whole army, you must not slander it, just talk about what you say here. Out of the door, you can't say. ”

The barbarian Hague said: "The old minister understands. "At this time, the barbarian Hague also figured out Emperor Tianyuan's thoughts. To put it bluntly, Emperor Tianyuan actually didn't want to fight. He hoped that there would be other ways to solve the problem. It's just that this is not a solution that decaffeinated Timur could provide.

The barbarian Hague said: "The old minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Speak." Emperor Tian Yuan said.

The barbarian Hague said: "My dynasty has reached such a situation, only use strong, I am afraid it is not the best policy, Gou Jian lie down and taste the courage, only then can there be a day of rejuvenation of the country, and now what we have to do is to be hasty and patient, use all means, recuperate, in order to do it again, not to fight with the Ming people." I ask Your Majesty to ignore the stigma and be attentive to this matter. This is the way to preserve the court. ”

Emperor Tianyuan's favor to the barbarian Hague is not unreasonable. Emperor Tian Yuan hinted slightly. The barbarian Hague sent the steps up. Emperor Tianyuan said: "Bold, I asked the Ming people for peace, and it was spread out, how to face the people of the world?" ”

The main thing is that this matter has been spread, how to end it. And nothing else.

The barbarian Hague sighed inwardly, knowing what to do. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, if this matter is leaked, it will be the fault of the old minister alone, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

The Yuan Dynasty has reached this point, and it still holds on to its own stinky shelves. However, many people recognized the reality, and even the hardest faction, such as Taeki Timur, raised their hands and feet to agree on how to achieve a lasting peace with the Ming Dynasty.

But the problem is that Taur saw too clearly. It's simply not possible.

Because it's about the legitimacy of the imperial court.

That's why he doesn't propose much and things. It's useless to mention it, it's just a humiliation in vain, and it shakes the morale of the army even more.

Emperor Tian Yuan said, "What do you think we should talk about?" ”

The barbarian Hague said: "The old minister thinks that no matter how you talk about it, there is one that will never be without. ”

Emperor Tian Yuan said, "That one." ”

The barbarian Hague said, "Go to the Emperor." Titled Minister. ”

Emperor Tian Yuan was silent for a long time, he stroked the faded dragon chair beside him, sighed, and said, "Let's go, what's the use of having a false name?" ”

In fact, this false name is still useful.

It is precisely because of this false name that he is the co-master of the grassland, although he does not have much strength now. Unable to control the grassland heroes. But this title is still a sharp weapon, as long as you have strength, you can unify the sharp weapon of the grassland.

Of course, there are drawbacks to this title.

If it weren't for this title, why would Da Ming chase him. The kind of momentum that does not hesitate to fight to the ends of the earth is because of the false name of Emperor Dayuan.

Once this reputation is abandoned, of course, there is a possibility of negotiation and success. But at the same time, he also gave up his nominal rule over the vast steppe, and even from then on, even tribes like Uliangha would not listen to the greetings of the Yuan court. Since they are all ministers. Isn't it good for them to go directly to Daming?

Why should a Yuan court who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty be a middleman to make the difference?

It's just that for Emperor Tian Yuan, being alive is the most important thing.

The barbarian Hague said: "What about the war? ”

Emperor Tian Yuan said: "You don't know this, you just need to send someone to talk." Everything on the battlefield is left to the Taishi. ”

Emperor Tian Yuan was still very sober. War with one hand, peace with the other, and peace can be made only when you can fight. Even in the case of peace talks, military actions cannot be stopped, and even intensified.

——

All kinds of changes in the Yuan court, He Xi and King Yan don't know.

Although King Yan wanted to leave Beiping immediately. But it turns out. Impossible.

He Xi's status and relationship with the crown prince are there, there are many people who want to see He Xi, and He Xi has a close relationship with the nobles of the Kaihai faction, not to mention that the fierce struggle between Nanjing Xie Jin and Ding Xian has already involved many scholars.

For the matter of opening the sea, the interests are related, and many nobles also attach great importance to it.

Naturally, I have to communicate with He Xi.

As for the ushering in and sending off in other officialdoms, it is even more indispensable.

At least He Xi's status has not yet reached the point where he can not give face to anyone.

As a result, even if He Xi hurried and hurried, it took nearly ten days to complete the affairs of Beiping. Go to Yingkou with King Yan.

But five days later. They have reached the entrance of the camp.

Practice makes perfect in many things. The same goes for navigation. Today, the Bohai Sea has become one of the most prosperous bays, from Tianjin to Yingkou, it is the busiest route, the most important transportation of raw materials. cotton, linen and so on. Then transport the goods back from Yingkou.

Such as cotton, linen, soybean oil, paper, wood and so on.

It can be said that many raw materials in this era were grown in the land. Liaodong's agriculture has seriously dragged Liaodong's industry back, but agricultural production cannot be expanded in a day or two. Therefore, the trade between Liaodong and the north is very frequent.

Although compared with the south, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and there is not much in the resources, but in any case, there are more than 10 million people in these northern provinces. More than ten years have passed since the large-scale relocation of people to land and cultivate the wasteland, and it has long entered the receiving period.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been in business for 20 years, and there are still some things.

As a result, He Xi relied on southern maritime merchants to supply raw materials. However, during this period, trade with the north became more frequent.

King Yan didn't know what was going on.

Anyway, he got on the boat from Tianjin to Yingkou and spent two days and nights on the ship. Ships can be seen almost every day. Let him have a kind of that, from Tianjin to Yingkou, the boats are almost next to each other.

This situation is actually quite common in some of the busy rivers in the south. For example, if you are lucky enough to be on the boat of these rivers in the busy season, you can also feel that there may be no traffic jam in Daming. But blocking ships is already a commonplace.

But this situation is very difficult to occur in the north.

King Yan sighed and said, "Brother He, why don't you come and help me, in the future, you and I will join forces to sweep the Western Regions and conquer a big world." ”
