Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 260 Chapter 260, Zhu Cihong decides to go to war, and Heshuo Te should be the target

After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, the hall fell into a moment of silence.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help touching his beard and began to think, but accidentally tore two of them, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

Everyone started thinking.

It is recorded in the Chinese history books that the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty. This is true, but it does not mean that the Mongolian regime has disappeared.

In 1388, after the leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Togu Stimur, was killed by Yesudiel, a descendant of Alibuge, he went to the Great Yuan Kingdom and became known as Mongolia. From then on, the Mongolian plateau entered an era of competition among heroes.

The main branches of the Mongolian tribes headed by the descendants of Genghis Khan, that is, the "Golden Family", are in today's Inner Mongolia and eastern Outer Mongolia, including Chahar, Tumed, Horqin (including Yongxiebu tribe), Ordos, Aso ( Ossetians) and other ministries were collectively called "Tatar" by Ming Dynasty.

Corresponding to Tatar is Wala.Oala is active in the western part of Outer Mongolia, northern Xinjiang and Central Asia, so it is also called Moxi Mongolia (Oirat Alliance), mainly including Junggar (the famous grand master also came from this department), Heshuote, Turhu Special, Duerbert four.

It sounds very laborious, but it is easy to understand by making an analogy.

First of all, everyone is Chinese (Mongols), but they are also divided into northerners (Wala) and southerners (Tatars).

Then the northerners (Wala) were further divided into Northeasterners (Zungar), Northwesterners (Heshuote), etc., and Southerners (Tatars) were also divided into Liangguang (Chahar), Hujian (Korqin) and so on.

Now take out the map of Ming Dynasty and look at it. From Tibet to Qinghai, from Xinjiang to Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, and even Northeast China, there are all Mongols, but they belong to different Mongolian tribes and are ruled by different Mongolian kings.

Speaking of which, Daming was actually very good at beating the Mongols.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were more victories and fewer losses in the fight against Mongolia, which was basically described as ruined. Although there was a trash like Zhu Qizhen in the middle period, at least it was not a problem to hold the nine sides firmly.

Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty's hard steel Mongolia was indeed free to steel, but it was hanged and beaten by the Jurchens who were abused by the Mongols hundreds of years ago. This may be the legendary mutual generation and mutual restraint.

All in all, the Tatar Mongols are now basically the running dogs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Oara Mongols are still relatively ambiguous due to their long distance.

But an obvious fact is that after any qualified Ming people hear the words "fighting Mongolia", the DNA in their genes will definitely move.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fan Jingwen's DNA moves the fastest.

Fan Jingwen said, "I don't know which route His Highness plans to attack Mongolia first?"

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Some time ago, when I was suppressing the rebellion in Shaanxi, I just heard that the Heshuo Special Forces had gone south to Qinghai, and they even planned to covet our Daming's Uszangdusi and Duogandusi. Can this palace bear it? Fang Gongqian has already been sent to collect information with Dongchang people in advance. As long as the father gives an order, I can immediately lead the army to Qinghai to destroy this group of Wala people. The strength does not need to be large, [-] to [-] people are enough. "

Heshuote, who had just entered Qinghai, became Zhu Cihong's final target.

Fan Jingwen couldn't help wondering: "Why is it Heshuote? Heshuote belongs to Wala, and is farther away from Daming. According to the old minister's thinking, shouldn't it be better to fight the Tatars who are closer and prefer to join forces with Jiannu?" Is it Mongolian?"

Zhu Cilang said: "Lord Fan, you don't know something. Although Jiannu has hurt his vitality, it is far from being unable to fight a big battle. If we fight the Tatars first, then the Jiannu who are close at hand We will definitely send troops. When the army of founding slaves moves, we will either retreat in a desperate manner, or we can only increase our troops to fight a decisive battle. This is not what you want, Mr. Fan, right?"

Fan Jingwen shook his head again and again: "A decisive battle? No, absolutely not."

Zhu Cixiang snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Yes, so we went to fight the Heshuo Special Forces in Qinghai. Qinghai is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, and Lord Fan felt that the slave-building society was willing to fight for Heshuo who had not yet surrendered to them. Did the special department make such a big move and come all the way to fight a decisive battle with our Ming Dynasty?"

Fan Jingwen's eyes gradually brightened.

Fan Jingwen couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness really only needs [-] troops?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Not [-], but at most [-]!"

Fan Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with several other cabinet members, quickly turned his head, and said seriously: "The veteran has no objection to His Highness's proposal."

Li Banghua and Shi Bangyao said one after another: "The old minister seconded the proposal." "The old minister has no objection."

When Chongzhen listened, his brows suddenly relaxed.

For Chongzhen, the people who fought against the tiles were somewhat "not quenching their thirst", but as Zhu Cihong said, this was actually a part of strengthening the entire Ming Dynasty and weakening the Qing Dynasty.

Chongzhen said: "Prince Yingying and Uncle Xiangcheng, what's your opinion?"

The Duke of England laughed and said, "Of course I have no objection."

Li Guozhen was eager to try, and said: "I am willing to go to war, and please give me a place to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

When the British Duke heard this, he became anxious and said: "Uncle Xiangcheng, you are not being honest. We, the old Zhang family, are the best at fighting Mongolia. How can you compete with me? I am the best lieutenant of His Highness the Crown Prince." selection."

Li Guozhen smiled and said: "My lord, you are the pillar of the country. You should guard the capital and defend against slavery. Let the lower officials do the dirty work like this."

The British Duke was angry: "Whoever likes to guard this capital, I want to fight with His Royal Highness anyway!"

After the words fell, the hall suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Chongzhen said dumbfoundedly: "My lord, the next time you say something like this, can you stop saying it in front of me?"

The British public apologized again and again.

Chongzhen didn't take it seriously, in fact, the result of this kind of generals vying to fight just showed that the Ming army's morale and morale were indeed extremely strong, which was what Chongzhen wanted to see.

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihuang, and said a little unsteadily, "Long'er, are you really going to fight in Qinghai?"

Zhu Cihong nodded earnestly: "To tell the truth from my father, my ministers have already been very unhappy seeing these Mongols. This time, even Tibet has been pacified, and it has truly been brought under our Ming Dynasty's rule!"

Chongzhen was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Actually, I have no reason to stop you, it is the queen's side..."

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "It will be next year at the earliest. Why should my father be anxious? As for my mother, she should understand."

This court meeting reached a consensus on this.

After the beginning of spring next year, Zhu Cihong will lead an army of no more than 2 people to set off from Shaanxi, advance to Qinghai to repel the Wara and Heshuote troops, and then decide whether to continue marching into Tibet according to the situation.

A new war is about to break out again!
