Chapter 180: If You Can't Beat It, Join
Sent Yao Guangxiao away.
Zhu Yunxi held a military report from Jiubian in his hand.
The first piece of good news of the new year.
"Chen Zhu Di plays: The Mongol Warat and Tatar tribes are on fire again......"
Last year, Zhu Yunxi was in Datong at the same time, and the Ming army in the First Battle of Saibei broke up the Warat and Tatar.
After the lieutenant was captured, the Mongol Great Khan Elbok ran away.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was ordered to lead the kings and nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses on the nine sides to sweep the grassland.
By the time they caught up with them, it turned out that the Mongols were already fighting among themselves.
Because Taiwei Haohai Dayu was captured by the Ming army, Erlebok Khan lost his backbone, and it happened that Haohai Dayu's son Mahamu took the Warat people and horses to escort him all the way.
Elebak also wanted to rely on the powerful Khiros family, so he made Mahamu the prime minister with his meritorious protection.
Mahamu and the noble leader of Warat, Taiping, divided the tribes of Warat.
As a result, the Mongol tribes were not convinced.
The reason is that Mahamu is young and cannot convince the public.
Moreover, his father, Captain Haohai, cheated everyone, so that he was defeated by the Ming army, and all departments suffered heavy losses.
Arutai, who was born in Tatars, was the first to disagree, and he led his troops to raid Mahamu, and captured Mahamu's son Tuhuan, who kept him as a domestic slave and served him.
After Mahamu was defeated and ran away, the Mongol Great Khan, who had lost his cronies, was killed by the great lord of Warat, Ugqi Hashikha.
This was the second monarchicide incident in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
These six people on the grassland are playing with backstabs one by one.
Seeing that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the Ming army to kill the people, the first one to jump out was Arutai.
He chose Gongma to make peace, indicating that he had a sincere heart.
If you can't beat it, join in!
What Arutai is most afraid of is Zhu Di, who does not hesitate to run once he sees it.
Mahamu, the leader of Warat who was defeated by Arutai, was worried that he would be hit by the Ming army after learning that Arutai had surrendered to the Ming army.
So he also sent an envoy to the Ming army's big tent, expressing his willingness to surrender, and offering the seal of the late Yuan Dynasty.
Mahamu asked Daming to give the headquarters generously, and the treatment should not be lower than that of Arutai.
......
After reading Zhu Di's military report, Zhu Yunxi raised a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Arutai and Mahamu, one is a Tatar chieftain and the other is a Warat chief.
These two men surrendered, and the north could be determined.
The day before yesterday, Zhu Yunxi and Lao Zhu discussed the situation in northern Cyprus.
According to the military reports submitted by Zhu Di several times, it is difficult for the Ming army to destroy the Northern Yuan at one time.
The main reason is that the other party is too capable of running, and it is very difficult for the Ming army in the big winter to pursue.
Even if most of them are exterminated and let them escape one or two nobles, after a while, they can pull up a banner on the grassland and pull up a group of people.
Most of these Mongolian nobles grew up in the Yuan Dynasty, and they always wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors in their bones.
Even if only a few people are left killed, they will find an opportunity to make a comeback.
For example, the son of the slain Erlebok Khan, Benjamin, saw that his father was killed, and he was so frightened that he fled directly to the Timurid Empire in Central Asia for refuge.
With his special status as a "Yuan descendant", the Timurid Empire also had to accept him.
Historically, he fled to Central Asia for many years, and finally returned to the Mobei steppe, where he was proclaimed the Great Khan of Mongolia by Arutai.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang meant that for the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, for the time being, it was mainly to surrender.
Then, according to Zhu Yunxi's previous ideas, the surrendered Mongolian nobles were canonized, and the Dadu Protectorate was established on the grassland, the herdsmen were educated, and the Han culture was promoted.
Referring to the policy of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, the canonization of the Hami king Nahuli as the king of loyalty, Mahamu and Arutai are indispensable to be crowned kings.
Historically, the two received the canonization of the Ming Dynasty respectively, one was named the king of Shunning, and the other was named the king of Hening.
Zhu Di subdued them well, but only adopted a policy of division, and did not sinicize the garrison.
So much so that Mahamu's grandson also sat down first.
However, at present, Zhu Yunxi is not worried about the first problem.
Regardless of anything else, Yexian's father is still a house slave in the hands of Arutai, and life and death are unpredictable.
Now Zhu Yunxi only needs to make a will, so that Arutai can kill Yexian's father and get out of love.
Of course, he couldn't do that.
The dignified prince of the Ming Dynasty actually let him kill a child?
Not to mention damaging reputation, I'm afraid Arutai himself will think more, Ming Ting is deliberately creating contradictions?
After all, that child was the eldest son of Mahamu, the leader of Warat, and if he really killed him, the two sides would be completely enmity.
Between thoughts.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has called you."
Outside the palace, the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace brought a set of clothes.
Zhu Yunxi saw that it was a civilian dress.
He understood in an instant.
Lao Zhu wants to pay a private visit again.
Zhu Yunxi quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the noon gate to meet.
I saw Zhu Yuanzhang's figure from afar.
He was dressed in a gray robe, and he stood there even more lonely.
Every Chinese New Year, watching the family reunion, the elderly are the happiest.
However, after the new year, the children and grandchildren will go their separate ways to make a living, and the elderly will often feel lonely.
As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang is the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the lively palace in the past, but now he is the only one left.
Touching the scene, I can't help but feel melancholy.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers set off by ordinary people outside the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to go out of the palace to relax.
"Grandpa!"
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward.
"So fast?" A smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
"There's not much going on these days, just waiting for grandpa to summon."
Zhu Yunxi hugged him, sentence after sentence, trying to make himself a chatterbox.
Out of the noon gate, the grandparents and grandsons walked and walked by the front of the six yamen.
Found it brightly lit inside.
"The officials are all resting, why are there still people in the yamen?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered.
As he spoke, he walked into the yamen of the household department.
The busy household yamen in the past is empty at this time.
Further inside, I found a young official in a green robe sitting in the class room.
There are two side dishes on the table, a pot of wine, and one person drinks alone.
The little official looked up and saw an old man and a young man on the opposite side.
Seeing that the two were dressed ordinarily, he did not scold, but greeted each other with a smile.
"You two are looking for someone?"
When the Chinese New Year came to the six yamen, most of them were the family members of the officials who came to look for them.
Xu is a family member who goes out to socialize, and pretends to be working overtime.
The little official also met one yesterday.
The household member Wailang obviously stayed in the Qinglou overnight, but he told his family that he was on duty in the yamen, and the family who harmed him came to him.
It's embarrassing to encounter this kind of thing during the Chinese New Year.
"It's not looking for someone, it's just passing by, and it's cold and I want to ask for a glass of wine."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over as he spoke, and sat down opposite the little official.
The little official looks at the two of them with extraordinary bearing, and they should be official families.
Especially this old man, it is likely that which retired old cadre returned to the yamen to reminisce about the past......
"Sir, please feel free."
The little official greeted him warmly and personally poured a glass of wine for Zhu Yuanzhang.
poured another cup for Zhu Yunxi: "Little brother, come and sit too." ”
"Good!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and sat down.
Three people at a table, a simple touch.
"This is Jiangxi Magu wine?" Zhu Yuanzhang smelled it.
The little official said: "The old gentleman is well-informed, and he can be admired." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, drank another drink, and then asked, "Why don't you go home for the New Year." ”
The little official replied: "My home is in Huguang, and I don't have enough time to go back and forth. ”
It's just five days off, and this time it's all on the road!
It's not even enough to go back and forth.
Zhu Yunxi said: "Didn't the imperial court allocate housing to the officials in Beijing, why didn't they bring their families?" ”
