Wu Weiying glanced at Liao Zhong and her lips curled into a smile. She naturally understood the meaning behind Liao Zhong's words.
The first part could basically be ignored. Would the Yehe Tribe attack her?
Looking at the current situation of the Yehe Tribe, it was already very miserable. Did they want to provoke the Daming?
If they provoked the Daming at this time, the Yehe Tribe would be brainless. Once they provoked the Daming, the Daming would not need to send troops. He could just support Nurhachi to destroy them.
As for the second part, Wu Weiying did not believe it.
The rise of the Yehe Tribe was not good, the rise of the Yehe Tribe was not good, who was better?
Although she had not been in Liaodong for a long time, Wu Weiying knew a lot about the situation in Liaodong. Especially on the way, the old guy Hak told Wu Weiying a lot about the relationship between the Jurchen tribes.
Especially after knowing Wu Weiying's identity as the Marquis Gongshun.
It should be known that Wu Weiying's ancestor was a Mongolian. Look at him now, the Marquis Daming, a general.
Hak knew that he would have to fight with the Daming for a long time in the future.
It was not easy to hold on to Qi Jiguang's thigh, but holding on to Wu Weiying's thigh was also beneficial!
From Liao Zhong's words, Wu Weiying understood one thing. That was, his idea was different from Li Chengliang's.
Wu Weiying was dismissive of this. Li Chengliang was nothing.
In terms of military achievements, the Grand Marshal was eight streets ahead of him. In terms of title, the Grand Marshal was nine streets ahead of him. In terms of the Emperor's favor, the Grand Marshal was ten streets ahead of him.
Although he had the support of the Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi, it was still useless.
"Tell me about the war that year!" Wu Weiying thought for a while and asked.
She wanted to go to the Yehe Tribe, so she had to know about the war that year. This was very important. Maybe it could be the starting point for her to open up the situation in the Yehe Tribe this time!
"Yes, Marquis Gongshun!" Liao Zhong quickly agreed.
"It happened in the eleventh year of Wanli's reign. The Hada Tribe of the Haixi Jurchen Nation died, and internal strife broke out in the Hada Tribe. His son, Hu 'er Han, Kang Gu Lu, and Fierce Bone Bei Luo fought each other for power.
"Yehe tribe's Xinganu and Yanganu took the opportunity to attack Hada tribe, attempting to annex Hada tribe."
"In the twelfth month, Cheng Jianu and Yang Jianu gathered their troops to attack the newly established Fierce Bone Boruo.
At that time, the Inspector-General Li Song, Daren Li, repeatedly issued orders, but the Yehe Tribe did not listen, and became more and more arrogant. "
"Therefore, Official Li and Zongbing Li came up with a plan. Governor-General Li led an army to open up the plains for forty li, and set up an ambush at the fortified city, while Inspector-General Li sat at the Northern Pass South Tower to command.
Senior Generals Li Ning and Su Zhenwu set up ambushes at the four corners of the Great Wall, and sent Deputy Commander Huo Jiugao to Yehe Tribe to lure the enemy. "
"Cheng Jianu and Yang Jianu led three thousand elite soldiers to the Northern Pass, and set up an ambush at the fortified city. They killed Cheng Jianu, Yang Jianu, and more than three hundred of Bai Hu Chi's men. Cheng Jianu and Yang Jianu's sons, Fan Sun Bei Luo and Ha 'er Ha' ma, were also killed by us."
"When Zongbing Li, who was lying in ambush at the fortified city, heard the sound of the cannons, he rushed out of the fortress and attacked the Yehe Tribe's cavalry, killing more than one thousand five hundred men.
The Yehe Tribe suffered a heavy blow, and swore to be bound to the Yehe Tribe forever. "
Hearing Liao Zhong's words, Wu Weiying nodded. They won the battle against the Yehe Tribe, but they did not kill them all.
Judging from this incident, the Daming's policy was very simple. Basically, it was to maintain the balance of power among the Jurchen tribes, and not give any tribe a chance to grow stronger. Wu Weiying agreed with this point.
In fact, Li Chengliang did a good job in this matter.
When Li Chengliang was still in power, Nurhaci was still fighting to unify the Jurchen tribes in the Jian Province. It was not a big deal, as the other Jurchen tribes were also united, and Nurhaci did not do anything out of line.
In history, Li Chengliang was removed from office by Daming in the nineteenth year of Wanli.
Li Chengliang's son, Li Rusong, was sent to Ningxia, too. As a result, Li Chengliang's forces in Liaodong collapsed.
The Ming Dynasty's influence in Liaodong plummeted, and the Jurchen tribes saw an opportunity.
In the twenty-first year of Wanli, the Yehe Tribe joined forces with the nine tribes to attack Nurhaci, trying to annex the Haixi Jurchen tribes and stop Nurhaci's rise.
Without Daming's help, the Jurchen tribes started a war of annexation.
In the end, Nurhaci won the war, and the nine tribes lost.
If Li Chengliang had been there, this war would not have happened, and Nurhaci would not have taken advantage of the situation to defeat the Haixi Jurchen and unify the Jurchen tribes.
However, there were no ifs in history. Li Chengliang struggled at death's door in the capital as Count Ningyuan, and the war of annexation of the Jurchen tribes officially began.
In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Li Chengliang came out of seclusion again, and Nurhaci had already unified the Jurchen tribes in the Jian Province.
He destroyed the Hada Tribe of the Haixi Jurchen and killed Mengge Boruo.
The balance between the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong was completely disrupted, and Nurhaci became the most powerful person in the Jurchen tribes.
At this time, Nurhaci had laid a solid foundation and had the strength to unify the Jurchen tribes.
When Li Chengliang returned to Liaodong again, he was already seventy-six years old, and the situation in Liaodong had changed greatly.
The Earth Barbarians, who used to be a big threat, had not offended the border for a long time, and the Jurchen tribes had become a big threat.
Li Chengliang established his power by killing. First, he killed Tai Ning Tribe's Shaobahai, then Yehe Jurchen's Qing Jianu and Yang Jianu.
Nurhachi, on the other hand, was fighting for the unification of the Jurchen tribes.
Although Nurhaci was very powerful, he was still not out of Li Chengliang's control, because although the Hada Tribe was destroyed, the other three tribes were still there.
However, the three tribes were in a mess, and they all wanted to annex each other and fight with Nurhaci.
The three tribes did not have a hero like Nurhaci, and after more than ten years, they were still in the same state, and they even consumed each other's strength.
In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Li Chengliang was removed from office again.
In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, when Xiong Tingbi was guarding Liaodong, he pointed out that Li Chengliang was guilty of a crime worthy of death.
In consideration of Li Chengliang's contribution in guarding Liaodong and his old age, the Wanli Emperor only removed Li Chengliang from office, but did not kill him.
After Li Chengliang was removed from office, Nurhaci began to annex the remaining three tribes of Jurchen.
In the forty-third year of Wanli, Li Chengliang died in Beijing. From the thirty-sixth year of Wanli to the forty-third year of Wanli, Li Chengliang lived in Beijing, and Nurhaci took advantage of these six years to annex the remaining three tribes of Jurchen.
Yehe Tribe was preserved because of the Ming Dynasty's interference, but it was already dead in name.
In the second year after Li Chengliang's death, Nurhaci established a country. In Hetuala, Nurhaci was known as the "Wise Khan who overthrew other countries", and the country's name was "Great Jin" (also known as Later Jin), and he became the Great Khan of Later Jin.
Two years later, Nurhaci issued the Seven Great Denunciations and officially broke with Daming.
In fact, when Nurhaci established a country, he was already prepared to break with Daming.
It was not surprising that Nurhaci had the ambition to unify the Jurchen.
Not only Nurhaci himself, but other Jurchen tribes also wanted to do so, but Nurhaci did it.
Throughout the period, Nurhaci's explosive growth period was all during the time when Li Chengliang was removed from office.
It was precisely when Li Chengliang left Liaodong and lived in the capital that Nurhaci had the opportunity to take advantage of.
When Li Chengliang was in Liaodong, the policy he adopted was very simple, that is, he would beat up whoever showed up.
Coupled with Li Chengliang's military talent, Liaodong had maintained stability for many years.
Perhaps Li Chengliang had this or that flaw, but since ancient times, a general's self-deprecation was a means of self-protection.
In addition, corruption was prevalent in the Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, so what Li Chengliang did was not out of line in that environment.
As it turned out, Li Chengliang's strategy was correct, and he did a good job in Liaodong.
If Daming had always adhered to Li Chengliang's strategy instead of removing Li Chengliang, perhaps there would not have been such a thing.
Of course, there was no "if" in history. In his previous life, Zhu Yijun would never allow such a thing to happen in this life.
This was also the reason why Zhu Yijun did not touch Li Chengliang.
Over the years, many people had impeached Li Chengliang, and it was not that Li Chengliang had not done anything out of line, but Zhu Yijun did not pursue it.
Even during the military reform, Zhu Yijun did not touch Li Chengliang.
He did not hesitate to send Zhang Weixian to Jiliao to guard against Li Chengliang's rebellion, and he did not take an easier way to remove Li Chengliang.
At that time, Zhu Yijun had made up his mind that as long as Li Chengliang did not rebel, he would not touch Li Chengliang.
Of course, Wu Weiyingzi did not know about this, but after hearing Liao Zhong's words, Wu Weiying quite agreed with Li Chengliang's policy.
But Wu Weiying had another idea, that was, Li Chengliang's policy was outdated.
If it were in the past, it would not be a problem. Of course, it would not be a problem now, either. However, in Wu Weiying's opinion, the Daming did not need such a policy anymore.
Since the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong were in such a mess, it was better to sort them out.
Weren't they not obedient?
Then they should all be obedient.
"Young Marquis, why don't we go back?" suggested Liao Zhong when he saw that Wu Weiying was silent for a long time.
Wu Weiying glanced at Liao Zhong and smiled, "Open the gate!" Wu Weiying went down the gate.
Liao Zhong let out a sigh helplessly as he watched Wu Weiying leave the Northguard Fortress with her men. He said to his trusted aide, "Go and meet Commander Li personally."
"Tell Commander Li what happened here, do you hear me?"
The aide nodded, turned around, and ran down the tower. He left the Northguard Fortress with a few men on horseback.
As Wu Weiying went to the Yehe Tribe, the situation in Liaodong was once again complicated.
The capital, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at the people in front of him with a smile. He asked in a pleasant tone, "How have you been these years?
Did you encounter any difficulties?
You can tell me about it. "
Among the people below, the leader was a muscular Mongolian man.
His maroon face was full of respect. When he heard Zhu Yijun's words, he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the Wala people have been living a better life these years. We don't lack tea, food, and salt anymore."
"A lot of livestock were frozen to death during the heavy snow two years ago. The court has also given us food for the disaster, so no one has starved to death."
Zhu Yijun nodded. The trade between the Daming and the Wala had been increasing for the past two years, so the Wala people had been living a better life.
The Wala people were not brainless. They had the potential to become second-hand traders.
The Wala people had started selling the goods they bought from the Daming.
The Wala people had made a lot of money from this.
The Daming knew about this situation, but did not impose any restrictions.
Other than restricting some military supplies, the Wala basically opened up the supply of everything else.
Thick woolen cloth, tea, salt, all kinds of wine, and even glass products, including all kinds of skin care products. The Ministry of Internal Affairs even made snake oil cream that was specially made to protect against wind and sand.
In short, think what you want. Everything is for your needs.
This made the Wala people's lives a lot better. At the same time, the Daming's control over the Wala was further strengthened.
From the intelligence collected by the Inner Factory and Dongchang in the past two years, the situation of the Wala people was very good.
Zhu Yijun had asked Sanniangzi this time for only one purpose, and that was to further strengthen his control over the Wala people.
Originally, Zhu Yijun had thought of a strategy. The main purpose was to use the burly man in front of him. His name was Wu Lihan, and he had another identity. He was Tsetseg's brother.
Behind Wu Lihan, there were a few other men. They were all from Tsetseg's family.
Originally, Tsetseg's family had been controlled by Sanniangzi, but as the Daming penetrated deeper into the Wala, this family had been rescued a long time ago.
In these two years, the Inner Factory had spent a lot of effort on this family. This time, Zhu Yijun wanted to use Wu Lihan.
Tsetseg stood beside Zhu Yijun, a smile on her face as she listened to the conversation between Zhu Yijun and her brother.
Zhu Yijun glanced at the time and smiled as he stood up. "Zhen still has matters to attend to. Let Jing Fei accompany you for a chat. Don't leave the palace for the next two days. Stay in the palace and spend more time with Jing Fei."
"She has missed the grasslands and all of you these years."
Wu Lihan and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After everyone had left, the smile on Zhu Yijun's face slowly disappeared.
Turning his head to glance at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun asked, "Is there anything strange on Sanniangzi's side?"
"Imperial Majesty, no!" Zhang Jing hurriedly said. "But the Duke of Shunyi seems to be somewhat dissatisfied."
Zhu Yijun smiled. "It's right for him to be dissatisfied. This Bu Ta is disrespectful. He has great ambition but little talent. The older he gets, the more dissatisfied he will be. No matter, zhen will let him be satisfied."
In reality, as he grew older, Bu Ta became more and more dissatisfied with the current situation.
Zhu Yijun knew this. This time, taking advantage of Sanniangzi and Bu Ta's disrespectful entrance into the capital, Zhu Yijun wanted to give this mother and son a warning.
At the relay station of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
Bu Ta stood impolitely behind Sanniangzi and said angrily, "Erji, the Daming Emperor left Wu Lihan's family in the Imperial Palace!"
Glancing at Bu Ta's disrespectful behavior, Sanniangzi felt helpless. Even though Bu Ta's disrespectful behavior had grown up in these two years, he hadn't inherited any of his wisdom. Instead, he was more like his father.
"Then what do you want?"
Sanniangzi was naturally clear about her son's disrespectful behavior. She also knew what Bu Ta's disrespectful behavior was.
