Seeing that his son was unwilling, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously. If the prince was unwilling to do it, then he would leave it to Wang Guangyang. He was about to go down, and finally disgusted Hu Weiyong.
Such a big thing happened in the six yamen, and the left prime minister of the government could not escape his responsibility. Wang Guangyang also sent several memorials to apologize, but Zhu Yuanzhang never approved it.
The father and son had a lunch together, and there were only four dishes and one soup on the table. There was a drought in Shaanxi and Gansu, and a famine was about to happen. Queen Ma had ordered the palace to strictly prohibit the waste of food. Except for the extra care of the pregnant woman, the rest of the family The food portions for everyone were reduced, and the concubines and princesses were organized to weave and embroider clothes together.
This resulted in that even the emperor and the prince did not have a few dishes to eat. Of course, the staple food was enough, and the father and son did not dare to have any objections. They ate whatever was served, and at most they would have some sesame seeds later.
In the afternoon, he suddenly received eight hundred miles of urgent documents from Chang Yuchun. At first, Zhu Biao thought that the Mongolian army had launched an army. However, it turned out that the current Mongolian Khan, Boljijin Togusi Timur, was captured. Timur and Yesudier killed them together, and the Mongolian civil war broke out. Chang Yuchun now gathered troops to guard the border, asking how to deal with it, whether to sit back and watch or go to the grassland to help a certain party.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately summoned Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Wang Guangyang, Hu Weiyong and others into the palace, and then walked around the room. Zhu Biao looked again carefully. Tuo Gusi Timur was the younger brother of the former Northern Yuan prince, who was once the Northern Yuan prince. King Yi.
After Zhu Biao captured Shangdu, he captured many members of the Northern Yuan royal family. In order to appease the Mongolian tribes and divide them, he did not kill them all. After being escorted to Shuntian Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang canonized them all, and Tuogu Si Timur That is, the Mongol Khan who was selected by the Ming Dynasty.
This man's mediocre ability is far from convincing the public. The other Mongolian kings with the blood of the Golden Family are very dissatisfied, but the Ming Dynasty will naturally not help Mongolia select a wise Mongolian Khan. This man and his eldest son Tianbaonu are both It is perfect for people who have had their spines broken by extravagant pleasures.
After he was put back to inherit the throne, he still only cared about having fun. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally worried about whether this person had the temperament to try his luck, but he was relieved after observing for a long time. After that, the internal conflicts in Mongolia became more and more acute, and none of the kings recognized it. His status, and he doesn't need it.
After a while, Xu Da and others hurried in. They probably knew the situation. After entering the palace, they first saluted the emperor and the prince, and then Xu Da took the lead and said: "This Mongol Khan was established by me in the Ming Dynasty. If you dare to attack him, you are dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty. I suggest you order Chang Yuchun to lead Qingqi into the grassland. Even if you don't fight, you should show your attitude!"
Wang Guangyang immediately answered: "I think we should just sit back and watch. No matter how the Mongols fight, it will only benefit our Ming Dynasty. If we start a war rashly, it will waste people and money. Our Ming Dynasty's current family background is really thin. How can we waste it in vain?" Grassland, it’s better to send envoys to deal with it.”
Xu Da frowned and said: "Xiang Wang, this is not the time to consider losses. What the Mongols do secretly is of course irrelevant to our Ming Dynasty, but they should not touch Gusi Timur. That is the face of my Ming Dynasty in controlling the grassland. , if there is no reaction after being beaten, then Mongolia will see that my body is weak, and there will be great chaos within two years."
Wang Guangyang stopped talking after being rebutted by Xu Da. He had already said what he needed to say, and what happened next had nothing to do with him, a person who was about to quit.
Hu Weiyong sighed and continued: "Xu Shuai is right. Pressure should be put on the grassland, but we still have to pay attention to propriety. How can porcelain and earthenware jars compete head-on?"
Li Wenzhong shook his head: "It is about the dignity and integrity of our Ming Dynasty. We must not take things lightly. All the grassland tribes belong to the wolf. If we relax the control of the grassland, we will definitely come back to bite our Ming Dynasty in the future, and there will be even greater wars. Not far away, we cannot allow the ambitions of the Mongolian tribe to grow because we consider the temporary gains and losses."
It’s not that Hu Weiyong doesn’t understand these truths. The Mongolian tribe has been so honest for the past two years. It’s because His Royal Highness the Prince first killed Wang Baobao and then defeated Shangdu in the Northern Expedition. He captured the princes and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop, which made them realize the power of the Ming Dynasty. Dare to form alliances at will, and pay tribute to cattle, sheep and horses every year.
But the imperial court now has a big war over supplies. It just sent troops to recapture Bashu this year. It has already transferred the grain reserves from various places. Now there are signs of drought in the Shaanxi-Gansu region. The imperial court still has to prepare relief grains, and various regions have to prepare food. Corvenes were collected to consolidate the river embankments, and tens of thousands of mouths needed to eat. We still don’t know where to get this food. If the north breaks out again, there will be no other option but to forcibly collect food from the people.
After a while, the newly appointed six ministers also came. Except for the Minister of War, the other ministers were strongly anti-war and hoped to live in harmony. Especially the Minister of Hubu, when he heard that there might be a war, he started shouting at the top of his lungs, Tears are about to flow.
If you are not the Minister of Household Affairs, you don’t know how poor the imperial court is now. Today, the emperor is willing to reduce or reduce local taxes. However, when the dynasty was first established, all places were in dire need. Where did these food supplies come from?
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in charge, kept frowning. At this time, the report from the pro-military Duwei Mansion came over. Some of them were directly and openly placed beside Togu Si Timur, and most of them were already in turmoil. He died in the attack, and the remaining people rescued Tianbaonu, the eldest son of Togu Si Timur. Under the cover of other pro-Ming Mongolian kings, they fled to the army of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, so this letter is better than Chang Yuchun's army. Spring is a bit late.
Zhu Yuanzhang read it and circulated it to everyone. Xu Da said after reading it: "It is also beneficial to our Ming Dynasty that Tianbaonu is alive. After all, he is an orthodox golden bloodline. He can use his name to call on the Mongolian kings to strangle Ye Sudie'er. We, the Ming Dynasty, only need Just send out a few troops."
Hu Weiyong thought for a while and said: "I heard that Yesudi'er's ancestor is brother Alibu, the younger brother of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. If it is said that he is also of golden blood, I am afraid that many Mongolians who are already dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty will be attracted. The tribe supports them. Once the war starts, if they cannot be wiped out smoothly, more and more people will come to their side."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch on the side to get a topographic map of Mongolia. The imperial court had never relaxed its surveillance of the Mongolian tribes. Naturally, it knew the general political tendencies of the various Mongolian tribes. If calculated, the tribes who were dissatisfied with Ming rule probably accounted for about 70%. The poorer the tribes were, the more dissatisfied they were with the Ming Dynasty. After all, they produced the cattle and sheep that they paid tribute every year.
The Mongolian tribe has never stopped since the death of Genghis Khan. It is not uncommon for various tribes to fight for power and suppress each other. Kublai Khan's line treated other Mongolian kings very harshly, and now they have lost the Central Plains, so Sudie'er can raise troops to attack and kill them. It is not surprising that Togu Si Timur.
