Chapter 889 Oirat Mongolia
Inside the council hall, there was silence.
Although the generals did not speak, their faces were puzzled.
In their opinion, it was already very good for Gushi Khan, the leader of the Oirat League, to send an envoy to pay tribute to them.
The king didn't even have a hospitality, so he drove him away.
However, they did not raise any objections.
Because they believed that the king had a reason for doing so.
When they saw Yang Chengying waving his hand, they got up one after another and retreated.
Only Yang Chengying and Hong Chengchou were left in the hall.
"It's really strange how His Highness is interested in Tibet and the Western Regions so far away."
Hong Chengchou said, "And with the position of His Highness, it seems that it is beyond the reach of the whip to threaten the Oirat Mongols thousands of miles away."
"That's why I say this because the whip can't reach me." Yang Chengying said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Sun Ziyun's 'unexpected, unexpected. Those who travel thousands of miles without working will also walk in a land where no one is man; He who attacks and takes will attack what he does not defend."
Yang Chengying memorized a few words recorded in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Strategy".
Surprise, attack unpreparedness - just eight words, is the best commentary on this article. Look at the book
Hong Chengchou's eyes widened: "What do you mean......
"Send troops against the Oirat Mongols. In addition to training, there is also marching to temper an army. It's time to let these wolf cubs come out and have a good time."
Yang Chengying took over the conversation and told his true intentions.
The first is to divert the internal contradictions in Mongolia, the second is to temper its own army, the third is to deter Tsarist Russia, which is becoming more and more frequent, and the fourth is to personally go to Mobei and make an alliance with the nobles of various tribes in Mobei.
"This is an unprecedented expedition, and I am afraid that the army will not be able to support it."
Foresight and foresight were all frightened by Yang Chengying's bold plan.
Tens of thousands of heavy soldiers, without the support of the Hexi Corridor, how can they reach the Western Regions!
How is this possible!
However, Hong Chengchou felt that Yang Chengying's plan was not crazy, but based on his own strong strength.
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou regretted very much that as the governor of the Ming Court, he could not follow the army to the distant Western Regions.
"I guess what you want to say, the march doesn't have to take the Hexi Corridor, maybe there is another way for us to go on an expedition."
Yang Chengying said, "What's more, I don't plan to march all the way, but divide the troops into three routes. Besides, I'm not entirely aiming to clean up the Oirat Mongols, there are other goals."
Since the Tang Dynasty, the Han army rarely set foot on the Mongolian plateau, let alone Lake Baikal.
The Mongolian tribes of Transkhalkha and Nekhark are also obedient to Yang Chengying on the surface, but they are always unconvinced in their hearts.
Yang Cheng should take advantage of the fact that the peasant army is still in the south, and pull the ass of the Mongolian tribes with small knives - open their eyes to ensure the stability of the rear.
If the rear is unstable, even if the entry is successful, it will face a situation of endless troubles in the north and endless war in the south.
Yang Chengying could not allow such a thing to happen.
"Your Highness has a point." Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement, "This battle can be fought, anyway, there won't be a big event in the south for a while." In a year at most, His Highness will be able to triumph."
"To the south, there is Inspector Laohong." Yang Chengying took the opportunity to woo.
The nine-sided elite of the Ming Court is still there, and Li Zicheng wants to overthrow the Ming Court, which is not easy in a short time.
Yang Chengying's only concern was that Hong Chengchou did not cooperate with the imperial court, resulting in the Ming court lacking a new army and the Beijing division was not guaranteed.
The meaning revealed in the words implied that Hong Chengchou would hand over 30,000 soldiers if necessary.
Hong Chengchou heard it: "Your Highness, don't worry, when it's time to make a move, I won't be soft. But don't worry too much, although I can't participate, Sun Chuanting is still there."
"Yes, Sun Chuanting is still here."
Yang Cheng should have only two words of impression of this person - good at fighting.
"Your Highness, there is one
You need to pay attention." Hong Chengchou reminded loudly, "If there is no guide who is familiar with the internal situation of Oirat Mongolia, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed."
"Haha...... Don't worry, this person will take the initiative to find me."
Yang Chengying smiled mysteriously.
As he spoke, Bai Guangen came in and reported that Yin had called Tuketu to go and returned, and was asking to see him again outside the door.
Hong Chengchou was stunned and admired Yang Chengying.
He got up, trying to avoid it for a moment.
Yang Chengying raised his hand slightly, motioning for him to sit down and listen together.
Only then did Hong Chengchou return to his seat.
A moment later, Bai Guangen led Yin Wehu Tuketu in.
"Your Highness," Yin said to Tuketu, "The old monk cheekily asked to see His Highness, but he didn't expect His Highness to be willing to see him, and the old monk was grateful."
"Master, please be seated."
Yang Chengying waited for the other party to sit down before he continued, "I have met my master many times, and although I don't have a heart-to-heart relationship, we are still old friends. If it weren't for the temper of the monk who came with you, I wouldn't have driven you away."
Yin Hu Tuketu first nodded to Hong Chengchou, and after listening to Yang Chengying's words, he said:
"The Great Living Buddha preaches the scriptures and teachings, which is unparalleled in the world. In the world, I don't know much. I have offended many times before, please forgive me."
Yang Chengying listened with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart, "If I didn't know history, I would have been fooled by your old boy."
Razun Nawang Tenzin is an Oirat Mongol.
In history, he was named "Erdeni Iraq Sanhu Tuketu" by the fifth ***, and he was Galdan's military advisor, giving advice and transmitting intelligence for Galdan.
His purpose in doing this was naturally for the great cause of the Yellow Sect.
"These are just small things, how can I take them to heart." Yang Cheng responded, "But Gushi Khan infiltrated Tibet and conspired with the two Great Living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect in an attempt to lead an army into Tibet. I'm not going to give up on this."
"Is Your Highness really going to attack the Oirat Mongols?"
Yin Hu Tuketu recited the Buddha name, and then asked nervously.
"That's what I'm waiting for you to come back for."
Yang Chengying said: "The Living Buddha is familiar with the internal situation of Oirat Mongolia, and often travels in all directions, and is still the Living Buddha of Wensa respected by everyone, so it is the most suitable as a guide."
"This ...... Inappropriate, inappropriate. As a living Buddha, how can I do murderous acts."
"As a living Buddha at his feet, he should be more considerate of the sufferings of living beings and persuade the local tribal leaders to surrender so as to avoid a bloody disaster."
Yin Wehu Tuketu laughed angrily at these words: "Your Highness, you brought the bloody light disaster."
"That's not right. If it weren't for Gushi Khan's rash moves, how could I use the sword. Besides, when Gushi Khan enters Tibet, he doesn't move his sword soldiers?"
"This ......"
"I'm a person who never lets my friends suffer. If the Living Buddha is willing, I will allow the reincarnation of two Living Buddhas in Wensa Monastery, and they will run side by side with Drepung Monastery and jointly manage the Yellow Sect."
"What if I refuse?"
"The Yellow Sect has deep roots, and I can't eradicate it immediately. can only cooperate with him, then in addition to the Yellow Sect, I naturally have to choose another living Buddha to check and balance the religion. Wensa Living Buddha, who do you think is suitable for this position?"
Hearing this, Yin Zahu Tuketu's eyes showed horror, and he silently lowered his head.
