The reason why Zhu Zhanzhen came to Helin was to check and fill in the gaps for His Majesty the Emperor.

His imperial orders were Wang Huahe Lin, and His Majesty the Ming Emperor was in charge of the capital, so he had some insight into the situation in southern Monan and Mobei.

This is normal. If His Majesty is omniscient and omnipotent, what do you want these ministers to do?

With policy support, how to quickly realize the complete kingship of Tatars was Zhu Zhanzhen's first priority after leaving the country.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, the Oara people had already reached Samarkand, and the 30,000 troops left behind in Helin could be completely ignored. However, as soon as Zhu Zhanzhen left the fortress, he discovered that His Majesty still made some omissions.

There are not many Oara people left in Helin, but this does not mean that the Oara people have no influence on the Tatars and the Ulyankha tribes at all. Before the king transforms the Tatars, what must be done is to train the Oara people in Helin.

Became Daming's dog.

These 30,000 people are well-trained robbers and brave people who have been fighting against the Ming Dynasty's border troops for a long time.

The grasslands are vast and the sea of ​​sand is endless. Whether it is building a city or the Great Wall, it is impossible to guard against these robbers.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen came and went like the wind, burning, killing, looting and fanning the flames. No matter how virtuous and unparalleled his wisdom was, Zhu Zhanyi was unable to do anything.

So Zhu Zhanyi rushed from Yuerhai to Helin in order to appease these guys and maintain border stability. The method he used was the same as the old three, treating guests, eating, and treating them like dogs.

Using the context of the Ming Dynasty, it is Zhu Zhanzhen's attempt to turn the Wala people in Helin into the control area of ​​the Ming Dynasty again.

Zhu Zhanchen drank a full cup and said with a smile: "Alazhiyuan also returned east first, so the Ming Dynasty will have at least two princes. It is really a happy event that the whole world celebrates."

Alazhiyuan frowned and drank a drink, his brows gradually relaxed. He understood the meaning of Zhu Zhanzhen's words, that is, if he returns east first and the main force of Oala returns to Helin, the Ming Dynasty King will surely take action.

Will sit back and ignore it.

"Your Highness, is the Ming Dynasty really willing to send troops to support us?" Alazhiyuan asked seriously.

Zhu Zhanzhen glanced at Luo Bingzhong, who immediately said: "Alaqizhiyuan knows why the Ming Dynasty was willing to forgive the Tatars and the Uuliangha tribe?"

Alazhiyuan immediately replied: "It is because your Majesty is so open-minded and broad-minded that he treats everyone equally and is a benevolent king, so he forgives the Tatars."

These are all well-prepared words, and they can be used in many ways, but flattery cannot be used. These words are not afraid of the wind blowing the tongue.

As for whether the Ming Emperor was a most benevolent king, everyone knows.

If it weren't for the imperial silver coins that completely destroyed the fragile financial affairs of the grassland, if it weren't for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who launched the sale of their bodies, if it weren't for the Ming Emperor's Farm Law to admit Tatar fugitives, if it weren't for the Taijimen of the Tatar tribes.

It was too stripped. If it weren't for Chen Bing, a veteran of the Ming Dynasty's elite Beijing army, how could Tuo Tuo Bu Hua have honestly gone to the capital to present the alliance letter?

It is said to be a letter of alliance, but in fact it is just a letter of surrender.

So among the emperor's many methods, which one has the most to do with benevolence?

But the situation has to be said on the spot.

Luo Bingzhong said with a smile: "In fact, after the Battle of Yuerhai, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty had canonized all the kings of the Tatar tribes. There were four kings in Oara alone. This was entirely because the Yuan Dynasty became a Khan."

Mongolia went south and settled in the Central Plains. This is a grudge. There is no explanation and no way to explain it to the world.

This grudge was avenged by the Ming Dynasty after the Battle of Yuerhai. Yuan Ting was stripped of his imperial title and did not dare to proclaim himself emperor. Only then could this matter be over.

Luo Bingzhong continued: "The sixty-six ministers who died in Tumubao's natural disaster have not yet been granted titles. So far, all civil servants and military officials have been guilty ministers. After that, they will all be guilty ministers. Those who have been dismissed will be dismissed, and those who are deprived of their favor will be deprived of their favor. shade."

"Two hundred thousand troops from the capital, nearly three hundred thousand civilians, Xuan Mansion, and the two towns of Datong, nearly a million civilians are littered with corpses. Every household in the capital and nine states outside the mountains is wearing hemp and mourning."

"The civil and natural changes have not yet passed in our Ming Dynasty, and there is no explanation."

"First of all, if you return eastward, Your Majesty will definitely ask for an explanation. If Your Majesty doesn't ask for an explanation, you won't be able to give an explanation to the world."

"Alazhiyuan, do you think Ming Dynasty will send troops?"

The wronged soul sighs for a long time, and His Majesty's heartache is still there.

Luo Bingzhong did not know that in the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion, there is the memorial tablet of the fallen soldier Wen Chen Wuxun of Tumu Fort. His Majesty would offer sacrifices to it on August 15th every year, and he would wear it with him even when he was on tour.

But Luo Bingzhong still accurately guessed the emperor's thoughts. After all, His Majesty is not a difficult emperor to understand, nor is he a difficult person to guess. His Majesty's personality is basically clear.

Your Majesty will not dare to forget hatred and history for a moment, because forgetting is tantamount to betrayal.

Ming Dynasty has not forgotten it either.

Although Luo Bingzhong's words were hard to pronounce, Alazhiyuan heard clearly that they were threats and reassurances.

The threat is that the Ming Dynasty still has a lingering hatred for Oara. If Alazhiyuan is ignorant and sabotages the great plan of the Ming Dynasty to convert Tatars, then Alazhiyuan will be a lost dog.

The reassurance was that Luo Bingzhong made it clear that if he returned to the east first, the Ming Dynasty would definitely send troops, and he would do his best.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops, the army of Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops, the civil servants and officials of Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops, and the people of Ming Dynasty even more wanted to send troops. This involves the foundation of Ming Dynasty.

Alazhiyuan closed his eyes and rested his mind without saying a word. It was very quiet in Helin's Dragon Court tent.

"If your highness gives you orders, don't dare to disobey." Alazhiyuan sighed, bowed his head and said, in the end he chose to become Ming Dynasty's dog. He might die if he became Ming Dynasty's dog, but if he goes to Samarkand, he will definitely die. .

Zhu Zhanzhen calmly raised his glass and said with a smile: "Drink up."

"Drink!" Alazhiyuan quickly raised his glass.

Daming didn't make any promise to him, but it was still a promise. It meant that he tacitly agreed that he and Lin would survive. This was enough.

Alazhiyuan drank a lot one after another, and he didn't know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. He said in a drunken state: "Your Highness is unaware of something. This westward advance is not a trivial matter. Dashi is determined to move westward, and I am opposed to it."

"All the elite men who marched westward have left, and the women, children, old and young are left behind in Helin. Dashi gave me 30,000 soldiers and horses. At most, I can protect these women, children, old and young."

"That's all."

"It was clearly agreed at the beginning that after establishing a foothold in Samarkand, these women, children, old and young, began to move westward to live a better life in the Western Regions."

"It's been three years, no, almost four years. I've been waiting here and there for Dashi's order to mobilize troops."

"I left with my elite men. What will happen to these women, children, and children? They can neither herd nor hunt, so how can they survive?"

As soon as Alazhiyuan started chatting, he couldn't stop complaining, especially about life in Mobei.

As he spoke, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks. He didn't know whether they were crocodile tears or tiger tears.

How bitter and cold is it outside the Great Wall? Helin belongs to Mobei, and life is already difficult. The weather has changed in recent years, and it has become colder. The strong men have all moved westward, and women, children, old and young cannot bear the long journey and can only stay behind.

If Alazhiyuan leads his troops and leaves again, these women, children, old and young will have no choice but to die.

Gu Hao

For a while, Zhu Zhanzhen couldn't tell whether Alazhiyuan was genuine or fake, whether he was really worried about these women and children, was looking for a reason for himself to kneel down and act like a dog, or was setting a trap for him to get help.

"It's not authentic." Luo Bingzhong knew that Zhu Zhanyang was not easy to answer, so he immediately echoed Alazhiyuan's sympathy. The relationship was so stiff, it was completely unnecessary. If King Xiang talked to him, then Ming Dynasty would have to make some promise. or benefit.

Luo Bingzhong's words were just right.

Alazhiyuan stopped talking and drank a glass of wine, sighed heavily, and stopped talking about the internal affairs of Oara. He already knew that the Ming Dynasty had no intention of turning Mobei and Lin Wang into kings, and just told them not to go south to plunder.

Raising and fighting crickets outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty has passed. During the Yongle period, the four kings of Wala were granted the title to raise wolves and contain the Tatars.

But after raising and raising him, a Zhongshan wolf was born, which bit Daming severely in Tumubao.

In the future, it is absolutely impossible for Ming Dynasty to raise wolves on the grassland. If anything happens, he will probably do it himself.

This was a change in diplomatic strategy, which in later terms was a shift from proxy war to personal participation in the war.

The cooperation between Zhu Zhanzhen and Luo Bingzhong has been very tacit since they were in Prince Xiang's Mansion. When they arrived in Anding, Guizhou, they lived and died together for three years. The two of them cooperated flawlessly. What they should say and what they meant should be expressed clearly.

Zhu Zhanzhen asked curiously: "Why did Wala attack the Ming Dynasty in the 13th year of Zhengtong? Is it because the Ming Dynasty felt that Wala was disrespectful and reduced the scale of Wala's tribute?"

"Or is it because of rumors that he first asked to marry the Princess of Ming Dynasty, but was rejected by King Jili, so he became angry and angry, and raised an army in anger?"

Ye Xian's ambition to attack the Ming dynasty was obvious to the entire court. Only King Jili didn't know about it. He was also very kind to the four kings of Wala, Ye Xianwai. Every time Wala sent envoys to pay tribute, he was generously rewarded.

But in the 13th year of Orthodoxy, the strategic purpose of attacking the Ming Dynasty first was really to destroy the Ming Dynasty?

He doesn't seem like a guy who likes to daydream either.

Alazhiyuan was very clear about this matter. He thought for a while and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Dashi said at that time that he was attacking the Ming Dynasty, but in fact the purpose was to attack the Hetao. This Yellow River has many harms, but only one thing is rich."

"The attack on the Ming Dynasty also forced the Ming Dynasty to admit that Oara occupied the Hetao."

"But who would have thought that in this fight, the emperor would be captured? There were several opinions in the army at that time."

"Boyan Timur, Dashi's brother, wanted to get King Jili to disguise himself and escape back to the Ming Dynasty."

"Dashi and Boluo wanted to kill King Jili to sacrifice the flag and go south to destroy the Ming Dynasty once and for all. Haihan's idea was to take the emperor to the capital and blackmail him."

"These forces were arguing back and forth for two months, but nothing was clear. However, given the Ming Dynasty time, Yu Shaobao was well prepared in the capital, so Wala was defeated in the capital and returned."

Alazhiyuan talked about the past, and Wala had no intention of destroying the Ming Dynasty in one battle. The grassland people were indeed a little reckless, but they were not stupid. How strong the Ming Dynasty was. They were beaten for eighty years, so they had something to say.

.

So when he captured King Jili, Wala was a little caught off guard. The various forces had different opinions, and they were hesitating and hesitating, but they didn't get anything.

In the Battle of the Capital, the Wala people suffered a defeat, and everything that Tumubao won was vomited out in the Battle of the Capital.

Alazhiyuan's idea at that time was to send King Jili back and make a fool become the emperor. This was the gift of Changshengtian to Wala and Tatar, and the blessing of Changshengtian to them to restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty in the past.

If King Jili is in the capital, and the battle of the capital has not yet begun, King Jili will definitely flee south, and Wala will win.

"If King Jili were to fight in the capital, he would have thousands of troops in the capital, not least 200,000 troops!"

Alazhiyuan changed the subject and said: "If there was no King Jili in the Ming Dynasty, why would Wala need to conquer the west?"

"Oh, it's all fate." Alazhiyuan said extremely depressed, raised his glass and drank a glass of dull wine.

Zhu Zhanchen stood up and said: "I am a little tired. I have a day off today and will go back to Daning Guard tomorrow. If anything happens, just send envoys to Daning Guard to form an alliance."
