People walked along the canal and gradually reached the west side of Kaifeng City.The Dahe (Yellow River) was right in front of him. The cavalry of the central army protected Zhu Gaoxu and other monarchs and ministers, and everyone rode their horses to the south bank of the Dahe River first.
The river embankment is very high and thick, and has several parallel protective berths.
Zhu Gaoxu abandoned his horse and walked, climbed up the dirt road along the steps on the embankment. The civil and military officials had to follow him to climb the hill. After a while, some officials with poor physical strength were panting.
After a long time, everyone walked up to a river bank.Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh and looked around.After a while, he looked down at the soil under his feet and found that there were many branches and sacks in the soil.
At this time, Gao Xianning said in his voice: Master, that is the material left by the willow roller.This place must have experienced a river breaking and flooding, so the water control officials used willow rollers to repair it before they could see this branch.
Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: What does Gaosigong know how to control water?
Gao Xianning bowed and said: Go back to the emperor, I just listened to people's talk and knew a little about the fur.However, since the beginning of Wude, the court has changed its strategy of governing the river, and at first it was the suggestion made by the ministers.
Zhu Gaoxu felt a little strange. Since Gao Xianning said that he knew a little about fur, could he still suggest a major strategy for river management?
Gao Xianning pointed to the east and said: Master, please see, there is a tributary of a big river (Yellow River) in the distance. Over the past few years, no less than a hundred tributaries have been blocked along the river.This is the result of the implementation of the new court policy of "building dikes to bind water and using water to attack sand".
He continued: At that time, a student from Shanxi sent a letter to his official residence and put forward a detailed discussion of this strategy.The minister handed it over to Qibutang.Qibutang contacted the Minister of Works Ru Wei and other ministers to discuss and finally decided to adopt the method of Shanxi students. The memorial was approved by the emperor's imperial pen.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything because he had no impression of it or had completely forgotten it. Perhaps he didn't read it too carefully when he was commenting the memorial.
He couldn't remember what was going on, as it was possible that it was a time when the Northern Expedition and the war were distracted, and that everyone agreed with Qi Tai and others, Zhu Gaoxu would not generally refute it.
Gao Xianning said: The previous strategy of water control was to focus on diversion to avoid floods breaking the dam.Only in recent years did the Dukes change their minds, blocking tributaries, gathering water and rinsing sand in the river, and lowering the riverbed.The effect is immediate.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and thought to himself: No wonder since he ascended the throne, the most common earthquakes were earthquakes, and no one reported the news of the flooding of the Yellow River.
He immediately asked: Who is this Shanxi student and where is the person?
Gao Xianning said: There is no name on the letter, only the four words "Shanxi Students". The minister sent someone to search, but no one was found.This person should be a hermit and is unwilling to become an official.
There are still people like this?Zhu Gaoxu blurted out.
But he immediately remembered that Gao Xianning was also such a person. Gao Xianning was forced to become an official at the beginning.
Zhu Gaoxu then asked again, why did he want the imperial examination?
Gao Xianning said: There are many conveniences for gentry, such as being able to travel around the world with weapons.
Zhu Gaoxu was speechless because Gao Xianning made a lot of sense.He said casually: Send two to Shanxi to search, find him out, and serve the country.
Gao Xianning bowed and said: I will receive the order.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at He Kuisi who was accompanying him. He Kuisi bent his waist, looking a little embarrassed.
The river in front of me was turbulent and the noise was very loud.In order to make others hear clearly and speak loudly, Zhu Gaoxu rested and stared at the surface of the river for a long time.
The water of the Yellow River at this time seems not as yellow as hundreds of years later. No wonder people still call it the Great River.
After watching for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little moved, and turned his head and said loudly: The Ming Dynasty used the sun and the moon as the country's name, which was the symbol of fire.
Several civil and military officials agreed.
Zhu Gaoxu said: But it is irresistible that we must be hydrophilic for many years in the next few years.In this era, only water transportation equipment, such as chariots, horses, boats, etc., can be transported to the most lasting water.Use sea transportation abroad and river transportation domestically. This is the only way to maintain the new policy.
After he said that, he couldn't help but say: My words must be passed on to future generations.
At this time, Hou Hai had already got the paper and pen from somewhere and recorded it on the spot.
Hou Hai was unwilling to return to the camp to record again. Could it be that he would forget it after a few hours?
Several people around him looked at him silently.
Everyone walked east along the river bank for a while. When Zhu Gaoxu saw the dug steps in the south, he took his people down and left here.
After returning to the camp, Zhu Gaoxu decided to stay here for two days.Because a nearby warehouse was used to hoard military supplies transported from the south, he wanted to go on a patrol in person.
Of course, even if there is any problem with this transportation line, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't see it; officials would definitely clean up and cover it up so that the emperor would look good, and the world would be peaceful and peaceful.
However, Zhu Gaoxu was not here to pick on the trick. He was too lazy to ask about too specific matters and just wanted to understand the general operating process.
There were countless affairs in more than a dozen provinces and more than one thousand counties in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Gaoxu had no effect on one or two things.
So far, the most effective way of rule for the wise ruler and ministers is to rectify the administration of officials and choose talented and virtuous young people with real power, and to formulate strategies and laws that conform to reality. The other is to make no difference in other things.
Unexpectedly, another thing has made progress at this time.
Before leaving the capital, Zhu Gaoxu issued an imperial edict, asking He Fu from the northwest to send people to Hami Guard to report the situation that King Zhongshun (Mongol Su King) knew about the remnants of the Tatars to the court in writing.
He Fu's messenger arrived now and sent it straight to the emperor's camp.
The journey back and forth for thousands of miles, but things were done so quickly, maybe it was because the emperor personally inquired about it, and no one was willing to neglect it.
King Zhongshun knew that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked questions himself and exposed many things.
There are several important figures in the remnants of the Tatar tribe, one of the Mongolian prime ministers, and the other is the unmarried Khan concubine Ashari who lost her khan.
There is also a child, the Mongolian prince born to Ashari and Benjali.
When Asari first arrived at Hamiwei, he lied that he had been infected with smallpox and was isolated in the house for several months.
After the Wasan army attacked Hami Guards and withdrew their troops, Tuhuochi took the initiative to tell King Zhongshun that Asari was not infected with the disease, but had a secret child.
The reason why the Tatars concealed it was for the safety of their children.
The uncle of King Zhongshun was killed by Gui Lichi, the former Mongolian Khan. The uncle was first occupied by Gui Lichi, and is now occupied by Alutai.
Tuohuochi and others promised King Zhongshun that as long as he could return to the Tatar tribe, he would release and return the uncle of King Zhongshun.
Now the Ming Dynasty court has agreed to the remnants of the Tatars to borrow the passage, and King Zhongshun should hand over the Tatars and be escorted to the east by the Ming Dynasty official army.
After reading the letter, Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong with this matter.He immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the Central Army to discuss matters.
Six civil and military people arrived one after another, and the memorial sent by He Fu on a fast horse was circulated.
Zhu Gaoxu said straight to the point: Benyali Shihan indeed has a biological son, who is in Hamiwei; we used to speculate that Alutai was granted the title to rescue the Mongolian prince, so we probably guessed that it was not wrong.In this way, it is very strange that Alutai wants to support Korqin's human-made Khan.
Gao Xianning bowed: Wei Duwei’s previous inference may be correct.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly and glanced at He Kuisi.
Gao Xianning's voice said again: But I have doubts.According to the news of King Zhongshun, Asari gave birth to a child when he arrived in Hamiwei; this news was spread to the Tatar tribe thousands of miles away?
There are tile thorns moving to the north, and to the south are the fortresses in the Ming Dynasty and the Nine-Border Guards.Not to mention that the Mongolians had to go such a long way, even the Han people could not reach Eastern Mongolia in time without official guidance.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Gao Xianning in a sideways: It makes sense that the journey is too long and the danger is too great, making it extremely difficult for the Tatars from both the east and west to communicate.
Gao Xianning leaned forward and bowed: If the existence of the Mongolian prince and Alutai did not know in advance, then what reason did he use to do things? He sent envoys to pay tribute to him and bribe the Han people to help him.
He Kuisi spoke: Wastu suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Hami Guard, and something went wrong.Alutai may have guessed a little based on this matter.
Everyone was talking a lot, and Hou Hai's voice said: You are very mysterious.If Alutai dares to do such a big thing just by guessing it?
Veda said: When the emperor led the ministers and others in the battle, many decisions were made by guessing, and they could only guess.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: The transportation is inconvenient. If you have to confirm the news in everything, then you can only make a decision in the year of the monkey and horse.
Gao Xianning said: If Wei He’s inference is correct, then Alutai and Tuhuochi will be too amazing.
The Watshu people knew about the Mongolian prince, and it might have been that Tuhuochi deliberately leaked it; it was like Tuhuochi who took the initiative to tell King Zhongshun.
Otherwise, how did the Watsai people know that Asari gave birth to Benjali's son?
The Wats must have no idea that Asari was pregnant at first, otherwise they would have taken strict care of the Tatars, so that the Tatars would not have a chance to escape, or they would have killed them as soon as possible.
The reason why Tuhuochi deliberately leaked the news was to ask Alutai to cooperate with this strategy and provoke the Ming Dynasty and Wassai's strategy.How can the Bohuo Chi and Alutai be so connected?What's even more amazing is that Alutai really understood the idea of taking off the fire, so he did so many things to cooperate with the remnants of the west.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard Gao Xianning’s statement, he also felt that this fact was a bit magical.
He would rather believe that the Tatar Tuhuochi's subordinate had a man with wings who had passed through the thousands of miles of land where Wats and the Ming Dynasty were active, and flew to Alutai and informed Tuhuochi's strategy.
He Kui Si said: Gao Siqing said this, the matter of Asari giving birth may also be fake. They just need to plan to pretend and then spread fake news.
Gao Xianning nodded and said: That's true.No one would doubt the news that she gave birth to a Mongolian prince, because at first glance, this news is very unfavorable to the fire-drawn Ashari and others.
Even He Kuisi, who proposed the idea, was shaken at this time: Perhaps the speculation of Xiaguan a few days ago was completely wrong.There are many things in the world, and there is no reason to say.
Zhu Gaoxu reached out to rub his forehead. He was a little used to thinking, as if touching his head could increase energy.
The river embankment is very high and thick, and has several parallel protective berths.
Zhu Gaoxu abandoned his horse and walked, climbed up the dirt road along the steps on the embankment. The civil and military officials had to follow him to climb the hill. After a while, some officials with poor physical strength were panting.
