Chapter 7 Bewildering (1)
Chapter 7 Confusing (I)
Mongolia is now like a stone falling on a calm lake. Although the ripples it produces are only a little big and not enough to make the entire lake water move, the calmness of the lake water has been broken.
Taisong is such a stone, one that makes Mongolia. To be precise, the Mongolians in southern Moon were all caught in a confused and helpless speculation because of Taisong's arrival. Especially the route of Taisong's return to Mongolia, which makes people even more doubtful whether the Ming court took advantage of Taisong's opportunity to return to Mongolia to visit relatives and reconciled the conflicts between Mongolian tribes in southern Moon. The Ming court did this obviously using Mongolia to fight against the Later Jin.
Maybe Taisong herself didn't know that her chess game had become a key piece on her grassland. Her every word and action affected the changes in the current situation and even affected the future changes in Mongolia.
Taisong himself did not know it, but it did not mean that no one knew it. Although Huang Taiji was bold and ambitious, he was very cautious in his character and did not do things that were unsure. Although the army and food and grass were all prepared to conquer Chahar Mongolia, Taisong's sudden return to Mongolia had already disrupted Huang Taiji's original deployment. Especially Taisong's route back to Mongolia made Huang Taiji have an extremely bad premonition. He had concerns in his heart that this was not the time for a large-scale conflict with the Ming Dynasty.
Fearing wolves in front and tigers in the back is a true portrayal of Huang Taiji's inner heart.
Huang Taiji is indeed a hero who is invincible, but he has lost the aura of his youth. Although he is ambitious, he is no longer the age of desperate consequences. Now he always has many concerns when making a decision. Too many constraints make him very helpless sometimes.
The angry one was Lin Danhan. The sister whom he liked and loved the most actually ran to meet the living Buddha of the Mongolian Yellow Sect, the pope of the Mongolian Yellow Sect, and also met his mortal enemy Bai Yantaiji, saying that he knew nothing. Although the news sent back showed that the court had the intention of forming an alliance, there was no substantial progress at all. The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty could stabilize the domestic mess and eliminate all the opponents one by one. Such a person is not easy to deal with. Although the Little Tu was his younger brother, he was indeed far behind the cunning and trickery of the southerners.
What made Lin Dan very dissatisfied was that the photo actually revealed all his bottom line to the Ming court, including the imperial seal. This thing was of little use to the Ming court, but it was of great significance to him. Emperor Ming took this as a condition and clearly wanted to control him. Once he handed over the imperial seal, not to mention the entire left wing of Chahar Mongolia, all the Mongolians would not forgive him. On the day the jade seal was handed over, once the news leaked, it was when he betrayed his relatives and relatives, even revealing a little meaning would cause an endless bloody storm in the entire Mongolian grassland.
When he told the material map that the jade seal was used as a condition, it was just a temporary measure to attract the Ming court. When it was not necessary, he even harshly instructed the material map not to leak any news. Unexpectedly, the material map was so useless that it actually said everything. Fortunately, not many people knew it.
For Lin Danhan, even if he sleeps in the same bed as Sony in the Houjin now, this can be forgiven. But what is unforgivable is that this idiot has accomplished nothing and tells Emperor Ming about his details. This is an unforgivable sin.
However, this time Taisong returned to Mongolia, the most favored Empress Dowager Su Tai, Lin Dankhan, was the most beloved Empress Dowager Su Tai. The Ming Dynasty was getting closer and closer to Chahar Mongolia. Su Tai's son married the princess of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest son. If she was not the identity of the concubine, there was basically no suspense that Ezhe inherited the Khan throne. Now, no matter whether the Empress Dowager Namu Zhong was born with a man or a woman, Su Tai, who was supported by the Ming court, had almost no need to worry that his mother and son would be robbed of power and wealth in the future. Therefore, this time Taisong returned to Mongolia to visit relatives, was regarded as a signal by the senior leaders of the Chahar Mongolian nobles as a strong signal. The Ming Dynasty no longer just helped Mongolia materially, but may interfere in Mongolia's economy and military next time, but in fact he had already intervened.
The grassland economy is too single. Once natural disasters or man-made disasters occur, it is at a critical moment for the people on the grassland. Therefore, the horse-backed nation living on the grassland has a huge dependence on the farming nation. This is why the grassland nation has developed a tough life and likes to plunder the farming nation for thousands of years. It can be obtained without effort. Who is willing to exchange their own things with others?
The power of the grassland nation has always been based on the blood, tears and bones of the farming nation. This is a kind of unsolvable hatred. For thousands of years, this hatred has almost never stopped. Even if two ethnic groups are taken to the same country, this hatred is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time. It must be resolved through hundreds, generations, or even dozens of generations!
Therefore, as long as the force is strong, controlling and conquering Mongolia is not a problem. The problem is how to integrate Mongolia into the Ming Dynasty. This is not something that can be achieved by simply immigration or economic and trade dependence. What is needed is an attitude, an attitude of letting go of all grudges and living in harmony. Of course, before this, deaths and wars are inevitable.
After Taisong and his group left Guihua City, the convoy and escort army slowly headed towards Chifeng New City.
There were escorted by two thousand elite Guanning Iron Cavalry. There was no unsightly force or horse bandit on the grassland that dared to easily offend the tiger's power. The herdsmen on the grassland also called this murderous iron cavalry "Black Tornado". The black armor and black battle swords, with speed like whirlwinds, set off the most feared nightmare on the grassland in the future!
Taisong did not notice it, nor did the accompanying materials. Two or three people in the special forces brigade of the personal guard Taisong left the team almost every day. No one knew where they went and what they did, but when the team arrived at Chahanhot, there was no one missing.
Later, when the palace secret files were unsealed, someone accidentally discovered a record that recorded another important task undertaken by the Special Forces Brigade when Kang Fei Taisong met with Mongolia to visit her relatives, which was to secretly survey the terrain of Mongolia and draw the topographic map for the future army to enter Mongolia.
After traveling about a hundred miles in one day, Wu Sangui ordered people to find a flat place near the river to camp.
Because the river is frozen, ice layers must be chiseled to remove the water. Therefore, the Guanning Iron Cavalry divided one-third of the manpower to dig the thick ice layer, and three-pointers and one-way horses set up camp, and three-pointers and one-way horses are on guard.
Although he had not encountered any danger along the way, Wu Sangui knew that he had a heavy responsibility and could not make any mistakes. The scouts sent out had to go at least thirty miles away, and he would be sent out once every incense stick, which would be repeated in this way to ensure the safety of the camp.
In a blink of an eye, a ray of light from the west horizon slid over the horizon. The biting cold wind blew the military flags planted in the camp and the flames burning from firewood flashed and flashed, and the light and darkness.
"Brother Yan." A shout came from his ear. Yan Peiwei took the lead and looked back. He saw Wu Sangui, who had not yet removed his armor, walked closer with a smile.
"So it's a major general!" Yan Peiwei said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yan is still so polite. Every time he is the major general and the major general is short, Sangui sounds strange." Wu Sangui seemed dissatisfied.
"Haha, I'm used to it for a while." Yan Peiwei touched his nose and smiled, "Also, you can call me 'Old Yan' in the future. Brother Yan is so awkward to hear it."
The two have been together for three or four years, but there are not many opportunities to sit down and chat and say what they think, but their tacit understanding is said to be a model in the army.
In the past two years, Yan Peiwei has been training Guanning Iron Cavalry, while Wu Sangui has led the special operations team and trained new players. Although the training grounds of the two teams are together and they can meet almost every day, everyone is very busy, so it would be nice to have the opportunity to say hello. In addition, Yan Peiwei has become a family and has to take care of family affairs. There are very few opportunities to sit together and talk like this tonight.
"Lao Yan, we have been partnering for almost four years, right?" Although Wu Sangui is not old, he seems extremely mature and sophisticated. Many generals in the army are not as good as those in this regard.
"Yes, it's been four years." Yan Peiwei breathed a long sigh towards the sky.
"Brother Yan, you have no idea in the past four years?" Wu Sangui asked in a low voice.
"Thoughts?" Yan Peiwei looked at the fire in front of him with a blank look, "What are the thoughts?"
"The court? And our emperor." Wu Sangui said.
"Major General, what do you want to say?" When Yan Peiwei mentioned the words "The Emperor", his eyes suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were sharply staring at Wu Sangui's face.
"Brother Yan, what I mean is, do you think there is any difference between our emperor and the previous emperor?" Wu Sangui immediately realized that his words were a bit strange. It was easy for people to have any ideas and explained quickly.
When Yan Peiwei heard this, he immediately relaxed his tone and said, "Old Yan is a rough man. I only know that our current emperor is the best emperor I, Lao Yan, have ever seen in my life."
"Yes, our emperor is wise, courageous and wise. He is a rare good emperor, but..." Wu Sangui stopped talking.
"Just what?" Yan Peiwei was also curious.
"It's just that sometimes it's too generous." Wu Sangui said.
"Good and generous?" Yan Peiwei followed subconsciously.
"Yes, according to me, the rebels of the pseudo-official dynasty and the rebellious ministers of the King of Shu should have been beheaded for a long time. I really don't know what the emperor was thinking, but they still had their lives." Wu Sangui said.
"Maybe the emperor thinks they are useful, right? Although these people betrayed the court and the emperor, what they learned is true. The emperor loves talents and the major general knows." Yan Peiwei said.
"Yes, our emperor attaches great importance to talents, is inclusive and all-encompassing. This tolerance will probably be comparable to the Emperor Wu and Tang of Han in the future." Wu Sangui said with sighing.
