In terms of status, Li Xuan and Wang Ji are about the same. One is a prince, the other is an earl, and the military department is still a scholar.

As for the question of who commanded whom in military affairs, it was to be determined by the emperor's edict.

Here again, the benefits of sitting on the name of righteousness are reflected.

The scope of authority given by Zhu Qiyu to Wang Ji is: to command an army of 100,000 and clear the remnants first. In the western part of Warat, Wang Ji could act cheaply and have full command.

The eastern part of Warat is now controlled by Ara. Ara, the Great Khan of Warat appointed by Zhu Qiyu, was not allowed to take the initiative to attack Ara, in the east of Warat.

Zhu Qiyu's authority to Li Xuan is: to be in charge of all soldiers, horses, money, and food in Gansu, and for civil and military officials below the third rank in Gansu, they can be cut first and then played.

Any civil and military official could be temporarily dismissed from his post and imprisoned on the spot, and then reported to the emperor.

This is obvious, as long as he is in Gansu, Li Xuan has the right granted by the emperor to be in charge of all soldiers, horses, money and food, including Wang Ji's 100,000 army.

In extreme cases, Li Xuan even had the right to directly remove Wang Ji from military power, detain him on the spot, and then take over the 100,000 army under Wang Ji's command.

However, this is all theory, in fact, Li Xuan was extremely polite to Wang Ji, and even temporarily gave up the Yamen of Shaanxi Xingdu to Wang Ji.

Li Xuan's elite 50,000 border army, the nominal task was only to defend the flank of Wang Ji's army, and as a reserve army, ready to support Wang Ji at any time.

There are also 30,000 elite border troops in Shaanxi, which are under the jurisdiction of the Houjun Governor's Office and are under the command of Xu Heng, the Duke of Anguo, who is also responsible for defending the flanks of Wang Ji's army and is ready to support at any time.

In Xuanfu, there are also a total of 40,000 people stationed in the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Shenji Battalion.

There are nearly 70,000 people in the capital, including Yingzhou Wei and Tiance Wei.

In an emergency, Zhu Qiyu can also transfer another 30,000 people.

There are as many as 220,000 troops in several armies, which is why Zhu Qiyu dared to let go and let Wang Ji command an army of 100,000 to welcome back the emperor.

Even in an extreme situation, an army of 220,000 can quickly strangle the rebels.

It can also be seen from this that the focus of Zhu Qiyu's military deployment is all concentrated in the capital and the northwest line.

For the South, it is completely laissez-faire.

In the entire south, not a single soldier is Zhu Qiyu's direct army.

Now in charge of the whole army in Nanjing, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi, Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Yu Qian, Nanjing Ministry Shangshu Wang Ao, are all descendants of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen's father and son.

Zhu Qiyu was worried about the rebellion of the emperor's army, and Wang Ji was also afraid that the emperor would be stimulated, and his mentality suddenly collapsed.

The commander who led the troops abroad was most afraid of the suspicion of the emperor who was far away in the capital.

Wang Ji couldn't help but want to learn from Wang Ji.

When Wang Jian raised the whole country to attack Chu, he didn't do anything serious, and first endlessly won money with King Qin, asked for land, and asked for beautiful women, so as to eliminate King Qin's suspicions.

Now Wang Ji also wants to have a lion with the emperor.

But what Wang Ji wants most is the marquis, the hereditary one.

On this day, he also sent a special envoy Naha to negotiate.

From the original intention, he definitely didn't want to send it back to the emperor.

With the Emperor Taishang in hand, Totobuhua and Ah Ra never launched a large-scale attack against him, let alone killed them all.

But if the emperor is not there one day, then everyone will have no scruples at all.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, and I can't understand why the Ming Emperor is living a good life, but he suddenly gathered an army of 150,000 and threatened to welcome back the emperor.

Is there any benefit to the current emperor to welcome back the emperor?

He was puzzled at first, but under the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty, he had to send a special envoy Naha out to explore the truth in the name of peace talks.

In order to show the importance of the Ming Dynasty, the reception specifications given were very high: Li Xuan, the Duke of Cao Guo, Wang Ji of Jingyuan, Liang Xuan, the deputy chief soldier of Baoding, and Fang Ying, the deputy chief soldier, were all present.

Naha knew Li Xuan and Wang Ji.

After saluting and making a few noises, he went straight to the topic: "Dare to ask Cao Guogong and Jing Yuanbo, last time the imperial army abducted half of my troops, it has only been more than half a year, why did the imperial court come to conquer again for no reason?"

I advise you that it is autumn, and there are still plenty of aquatic plants. Although we only have an army of 20,000, if we wander around and do not fight with the main force of the Ming army, dare to ask what the Ming can do to me?

The vast grassland, stretching for thousands of miles, how can you catch up with our cavalry who grew up on horseback when an army of 100,000 marches with baggage.

In my opinion, forget it. Your army should give up as soon as possible and don't do useless work. It will also avoid wasting national strength and increasing troubles. ”

Li Xuan shook his head when he heard this, and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Ji with a smile on his face.

Li Xuan made up her mind not to express her opinion, and she just had to do her job well. His job is to supervise the army in the northwest, and as long as no one rebels, the task will be completed.

As for how Warat is, it doesn't matter how it is, how about love, that's what Wang Ji has to worry about. In the future, it will also be Wang Ji who will be responsible for explaining to the emperor.

Wang Ji was helpless, so he sighed and replied to Naha: "We can leave you alone, and we don't mean to kill them all." As long as you return it to the emperor, Your Majesty will have your own reward. ”

When Naha heard this, he immediately asked, "If it is returned to the Emperor, will Your Majesty restore the tributary rights of our department?" ”

These words stopped Wang Ji, and he just said casually that the tributary right of the first was canceled by the emperor himself, and naturally only the emperor could restore it.

How dare a minister make decisions without the emperor's instructions?

But this question could not be answered, and Wang Ji had to look at Li Xuan with an embarrassed face.

Li Xuan gave a little face, and replied for Wang Ji: "It is impossible to restore the tributary power of Yexian, this is what Your Majesty meant." So if you want to regain tributary power, you must do two things:

First, return it to the emperor. Second, change the leader. I can't continue to be the leader for the first time, that's the bottom line.

His Majesty will not be too unreasonable, and may allow it to be passed on to his son first.

However, which son of Yexian will inherit the position of leader must be designated and canonized by His Majesty in the name of the Heavenly Khan. ”

When Naha heard this, he was not pleased.

As a special envoy, Naha has repeatedly traveled back and forth between Warat and Daming, responsible for communicating major matters, and is naturally not an ordinary person.

The meaning of Li Xuan's words, Naha heard the mystery at once: the Ming Emperor wanted to designate the son of the Taishi to inherit the position of leader. So who will the emperor appoint? Naturally, he is still the third son of the Taishi in the capital of Daming: Amasanchi.

The emperor played the trick of killing three soldiers with two peaches before, and let go of the captured Taishi's wife Mi Lost Hatun, Taishi's eldest son Huo'er Huda, and the third son Amasanchi.

At that time, it was Nahachu, as Yexian's plenipotentiary envoy, who abandoned Yexian's third son, Amasanchi, in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not kill Amasanchi, but also sent him back to succeed him as the head of the tribe.
