As Xue Xilian proposed to include Ryukyu in the management of Zhejiang, Xuan Hui's heart immediately tilted towards Xue Xilian.

Today's governor is completely different from the period of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen. The main task of the former governor was to maintain stability, which was above all else.

But here today, more attention is paid to political performance.

The butt decides the head, and Xuan Hui, as the governor of Zhejiang, naturally seeks benefits for Zhejiang. After taking the Ryukyus, Zhejiang had both the large port of Ningbo and the transit point of Oriental trade, Ryukyu, so it occupied an extremely advantageous position in the maritime trade.

But Xuan Hui still had some doubts: "Ryukyu is a country established by the Holy God not to conquer, and there is no reason why it cannot use troops against Ryukyu." ”

Xue Xilian is very familiar with overseas affairs, and replied very confidently: "The Ryukyu Kingdom will be opposed, their transit trade is controlled by the imperial court, and the Ryukyu elites and the common people have long been extremely dissatisfied.

The magnates may still be able to fear the Ming and keep their sanity. But the people, if they are instigated and bewitched by others, are prone to impulsiveness.

For example, everyone has seen the southeast civil uprising at the beginning. Although they all knew that the popular uprising would inevitably be suppressed, the people still rose up to resist, and the scale was huge to one million. ”

When it comes to popular revolt, it's convincing. The people in the southeast were in rebellion, and the imperial court sent the Marquis of Ningyang to lead the elite of the Beijing camp to come, and it was completely suppressed in only one year.

But knowing that the Ming Dynasty still has the elite of the Beijing camp, the people of the southeast are still not afraid, whether they should resist or resist, and they do not flinch in the slightest.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that the people of Ryukyu were oppressed by the powerful and rose up to resist.

So the two governors agreed to join forces to expand outward.

Nianfu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, seems to be a little alone. The military generals of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces were more anxious than the two governors, especially Tang Jie, the Duke of Xinguo, who was eager to make great contributions in order to consolidate the position of the Duke of the Kingdom that he had finally sought back.

Under pressure, Nianfu also relented.

Once an agreement is reached, the rest of the battle will be easy to fight. There are no decent enemies on the island of Ryukyu, Luzon, and Taiwan, and the Fujian Navy Division has participated in the attack on Japan, and now it is much easier to fight a small country like the Ryukyus.

Zhejiang will provide money and grain, Fujian will send troops, and ready-made sailors will be able to complete war preparations in a few months.

……

On the fourth day of the second month, Qingyun Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the soft couch in a daze, looking at Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake in the distance, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Wenfang sat on the side, flipping through the military newspaper.

After sitting for a long time, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily: "I was also confused by the messy relationship between these Mongolian magnates.

This half-brother who doesn't want to be a Tatar Khan also wants to be a Tatar Khan, who is better for us to choose? ”

Several people present did not dare to answer first.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask by name: "Tingyi, tell me your opinion." ”

Since Qiao Feng and Dingguogong's sister were decided, Zhu Qiyu has been cultivating Qiao Feng as a closed disciple.

Fortunately, Qiao Feng is twelve years younger than Zhu Qiyu, and it is not particularly outrageous to accept an apprentice.

Qiao Feng had already thought about this question, and replied: "Weichen thinks that Guergis should be the new Khan immediately."

Ma Erguergis has been in Beijing for many years, understands Chinese, learns scriptures and righteousness, and has a much stronger sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty.

Supporting Maergulgis was more conducive to the Ming Dynasty's control of Mongolia. Moreover, he is a parent and son who is free from spending, and he can be supported by the Mongolian tribes. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile, and then patiently replied: "Their situation at this time is very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty after the change of the Civil Fort.

You don't know when you're young, there was also a very big difference in the court at that time, one side supported the establishment of the emperor's eldest son Jianshen as the emperor, and the other side believed that the country depended on the emperor and supported the establishment of me as the emperor.

Because Warat was about to come to the city soon, the government and the opposition had no choice but to support me to take the throne.

So I have to support the theory that 'in the autumn of critical survival, the country depends on the long king', which is also my legal principle.

Today's Tatars are also facing the same choice, if they want to talk about the inheritance of father and son, they have to get rid of the young son who does not spend; If you want to invite the country to rely on the king, you have to get rid of your younger brother.

I am limited by my own legal principles, but it is still advisable to insist that the country depends on the monarch. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Feng broke out in a cold sweat. I was negligent for a moment and didn't think deeply.

Sure enough, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, you have to be extremely cautious in everything you say and do, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will make mistakes.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and reassured: "It's okay, you don't have to worry too much, let's talk behind closed doors, there's no need to worry so much."

Since this Mandulu escaped death and is a younger brother who can't get rid of it, let him try it as a great khan.

Ala's grandson is also very young, so let's just don't do it, and let's make Mandulu the Great Khan of Mongolia. The original Great Khan of Warat and the Great Khan of Tatar were temporarily canceled.

In this way, the Mongolian Great Khan Mandulu, whom we supported, fought in the ring with their self-reliant Mongolian Great Khan Agabarzi, and we sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

Mandulu had already fled to Beijing, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a ceremony and officially canonize him. ”

He Yi asked, "Holy Lord, who will preside over the canonization?" ”

"Let the prince go, accompanied by Duke Dingguo and Marquis Wu'an."

"After the canonization, will the imperial court provide Mandulu with an army?"

Zhu Qiyu was asked, there were only a few thousand remnants left under Mandulu, and if he didn't provide him with an army, wouldn't he be sent to death.

But what to give him an army? Now the Mongolian army under the actual control of the emperor is only Duoyan Sanwei, and this must not be handed over to Mandulu.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically: "I have allocated more than 100,000 yuan to Duoyan Sanwei as slaves for the Wara tribe who were captured before, do you want to recruit some young people from these people?" ”

He Yi replied: "Taking people's money is like killing your parents." These captives have become the private property of the slaves of Duoyan Sanwei, how can the people who eat them be willing to spit it out. ”

Qiao Feng also added: "I heard that the son of the Mongolian puppet Khan Agabarzi, Hara, married the daughter of Yexian, Qiqige, and gave birth to the eldest son, Bayan Mengke.

Even if Duoyan Sanwei is willing to hand over the Warat captives, are those people willing to attack Yexian's son-in-law? ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Then what do you say?" ”

Qiao Feng replied: "The Hulunbuir grassland is the base camp of Agabarji, and further east is the Xing'an Mountains.

We can temporarily assign the east of the Xing'an Mountains to Mandu Lu Rongshen, and provide ordnance, money, and food, so that they can recruit the savage Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens as subordinates.

In this way, the Mongols and the Jurchens can consume each other, and we will not feel distressed if either side dies anyway. ”

"Yes, let's try it first. Guangning has Fan Guang's army of 30,000, Daning has Xu Tong to lead Duoyan Sanwei, and Kaiping is about to be transferred to the elite of Beijing.

We will be the main guard, wait and see what happens, and let Agabarzi make the first move, and wait until we understand his reality and truth. ”
