Zhu Qizhen did not ask in detail.

There are some things that cannot be asked.

Although in Zhu Qizhen's view, Jiang Gui had the appearance of a famous general, but with the appearance of a famous general, he must be extremely innocent.

Maybe Jiang Gui got a little bit involved when he was working abroad. But are his children back home necessarily innocent?

The Ming Guard's current state of decline was definitely not caused by one person. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty nobles, even the commanders of various local guards, thousands of households, and other guards officers, all of them are clean.

of.

It was just because of this that Zhu Qizhen didn't know how to deal with the military system of the guard station.

This is what is really going to shake up the country.

Zhu Qizhen changed the subject and asked: "Does the general know about the Northwest War?"

Jiang Gui said: "I have understood that Adai Khan will not be able to join him. He wants to fight to the death."

Zhu Qizhen said: "When you arrive in the northwest, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Gui calmly said: "I am going to the northwest. I will first reorganize the guard station, and then go out of the fortress to defeat Adai Khan."

During this period, Zhu Qizhen also gathered intelligence from all parties and gained a new understanding of the war in the northwest.

Adai Khan himself was a relative of Horqin.

But he still has territory, which explains one thing, that is, Mongolia's special state after retreating to the grassland.

Although the Mongols on the grasslands still call themselves a court, they have degenerated into their original tribal state, so almost every Mongolian Khan has two Khans.

A Khan's court is located in Helin.

Helin was the capital of Mongolia before they took over the Central Plains. It was also the capital of the Mongolian Lingbei Province and the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Only in the battle for the Khans, the winner could take over Helin and issue orders to the entire Mongolia.

However, Emperor Yuan Hui's lineage was defeated by the Ming army, leaving the grassland without an owner. From the end of Hongwu to the Yongle period, there were several great Khans on the grassland.

These sweats all have one characteristic.

Even if they own territory, they also have the blood of the Golden Family. Even after taking over Helin, they also established the Khan's Court on their original territory.

This is the double Khanate with Mongolian characteristics. It also shows that the Northern Yuan Dynasty can no longer be called a complete regime.

Even the Ming Dynasty followed this point and tried its best to contact all the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty respectively, while avoiding contact with the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. However, in this state, with the decline of the power of the Mongolian Great Khan, the rise of Siva Ci and Dong Alutai

, and there has been a change.

Although Adai Khan was supported by Arutai, he did not have much power.

Therefore, he was killed by Wa Ci in Arutai. Only then did Adai Khan break away from the control of the Tatar tribe and fled to the northwest.

Adai Khan fled to his own territory and did not even dare to stay in his original territory. He then went south to the border of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to join the Ming Dynasty and become a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen was an afterthought to this matter, and Empress Dowager Gein suppressed it.

It’s not that the Queen Mother is not allowed.

It was just that the Empress Dowager and Zhu Qizhen were having a conflict at that time. The Empress Dowager was trying to dispel Zhu Qizhen's innocent thoughts, so the news was naturally suppressed.

However, the Empress Dowager was not acting on impulse. She suppressed the matter and did not ignore it. The contact with Adai Khan was still in progress.

This matter was the responsibility of the government at that time. The central government was presided over by Yang Rong.

Since the Empress Dowager had no intention of intervening in the grassland disputes, she naturally did not regard Adai Khan as a rare commodity. Instead, she regarded Adai Khan as a trouble.

Even Wa Ci knew about it, and Wa Ci didn't dare to act rashly.

The envoy of Wasi was at the court, demonstrating and asking for a marriage. As far as we know, his intention may not be that of Adai Khan.

The Empress Dowager tried her best to seize Washi. After all, Adai Khan went south to defect to the court, so he could not hand over Adai Khan to Washi. In this case, no one from the Mongols would come to defect to the imperial court.

It's just that Adai Khan and the court couldn't agree on the terms.

Adai Khan himself wanted to become a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty with the support of the Ming Dynasty, act as a barrier to the Ming Dynasty outside the Great Wall, and even be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

But the Empress Dowager was much more pragmatic.

It’s not like the Ming Dynasty had never conferred such foreign vassals. The three guards of Wuliangha were the foreign vassals that were conferred during the Hongwu period. It’s just that they were on the grassland this morning, at both ends, no longer obeying the court’s words.

Emperor Xuanzong attacked the three guards of Wuliangha.

Now, what is the use of canonizing another foreign vassal?

How foolish is it to expect the Mongols to be loyal?

Of course, it is not that there were no Mongolians who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, namely the Mongolian Tartar officials. Even the Manchu and Guangxi generals who died in battle during the Chongzhen period were of Mongolian origin.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager's intention was to let Adai Khan enter the court and be granted a title of marquis or duke. The soldiers under his command would each receive rewards and be added to the guard posts along the border.

As a result, neither party can reach an agreement.

There were constant exchanges of envoys between each other, and finally the Empress Dowager felt that she was dragging Adai Khan away.

Anyway, the person who is worried now is not the court.

Just this delay caused trouble. Firstly, Adai Khan's situation became increasingly embarrassing, and secondly, he also got a glimpse of the reality of the imperial guard.

Is it specifically caused by conflicts or something else? Anyway, Adai Khan found out after a fight that the Ming court was nothing more than this.

Since there was something that could be obtained with swords, Adai Khan stopped talking to Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning to the end, Adai Khan never thought about truly surrendering to the imperial court. It was just a last resort, but now he found another way.

That is victory itself. As long as he leads the Mongols under his command to victory, they will be loyal to Adai Khan. Adai Khan decided to grab a big grab in the northwest and then return to the grassland. Such a victory can unite people and gather people.

The scattered tribesmen might still be able to compete with Wa Ci.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen was not angry at the Empress Dowager for hiding him.

After all, Zhu Qizhen was very clear about his position. Although he was named emperor, he was actually just the prince. The real master of the Ming Dynasty was Cining Palace.

Zhu Qizhen was very rational, and it was impossible for him to cross the line without the permission of the Empress Dowager.

Even if he knew this, he probably wouldn't be able to change the situation. However, what he was really angry about was, what was the situation at the Northwest Guard Institute like?

How many people are there in Adai Khan?

In fact, Zhu Qizhen had carefully calculated how many people Adai Khan had under his command. Even if Zhu Qizhen counted many miles away, Adai Khan's troops would not exceed Wanqi.

The reason is very simple. There are limited manpower on the grassland.

On the Mongolian grassland, there are various natural and man-made disasters, as well as productivity restrictions, so their manpower is limited. How many people are there on the Mongolian grassland? Zhu Qizhen doesn't know, but there has been a definition from ancient times that the Huns are a county in China. This

The definition of Dawang Banner changes with the grassland. But the most basic thing has never changed.

If Adai Khan had tens of thousands of horses, he would be able to compete with Wa Ci. You must know that Emperor Taizong defeated Wa Ci in the Battle of Hulan Huwenwen.

The opponent was only 30,000 cavalry from the core of Waqi.

Even though Wasi was much better than before, Wasi's main men and horses definitely did not have 100,000 riders. A large number of peripheral men and horses only had hundreds of thousands of riders. Adai Khan had 30,000 riders, which could neutralize many Mongols.

At most, Adai Khan could ride thousands of horses. But with only this small number of men and horses, Adai Khan could dare to defy the Ming Dynasty's Northwestern Guard for nothing.

Is Adai Khan an unborn hero who dared to defeat the weak and challenge the Ming Dynasty? Or is it that the Northwest Guards of the Ming Dynasty were so bad that I can’t say, but after Adai Khan saw it, he felt that they could sweep across the northwest?

The most ironic thing is not that Adai Khan is so arrogant, but that Adai Khan is so arrogant that he succeeds. The situation behind this makes Zhu Qizhen shudder.

In this situation, Zhu Qizhen was not sure, so he naturally did not disagree with Jiang Gui's strategy of reorganizing the garrison first and then going out to fight.

Zhu Qizhen and Jiang Gui did not have an in-depth discussion. After talking for half an hour, they arranged for Jiang Gui to go down.

However, after Jiang Gui left, the depression in Zhu Qizhen's heart still did not dissipate. He suddenly decided on something and said to Wang Zhen: "I want to go to Cining Palace."

Wang Zhen immediately said: "I will make arrangements right away."
