380 [The Empress Dowager is dead]

Xifengkou, inside the city.

The eldest son of the leader of Tainingwei treated him as a child, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yuan: "The minister is a child, meet the son of tomorrow, and meet Wang Shilang!" ”

"Flat," Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said, "Give a seat." ”

The eunuch brought a chair and sat down carefully, but his eyes were secretly aimed at Wang Yuan.

Zhu Houzhao asked casually: "How are the lives of the people of Tainingwei doing?" ”

He looked around and did not dare to answer.

Zhu Houzhao said to the idle people: "Go out, Erlang stay." ”

Jiang Bin and Xu Tai were very speechless, don't look at them being favored on weekdays, they have to get out of the way at critical moments.

Only the emperor, Wang Yuan, and the interpreter were left in the room, and the child knelt down with a puff and cried: "Please Your Majesty make the decision for Tainingwei!" ”

Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile: "Who bullied Tai Ningwei?" ”

The child said: "There are Khalkha Mongolia in the north, Duoyanwei in the south, and Tainingwei is having a hard time, please Your Majesty expand the scale of the mutual market." ”

Poor Tai Ningwei was originally the strongest of Duoyan Sanwei, but now he has become the weakest.

In the south, Tainingwei's territory and population were frantically occupied and assimilated by Duoyanwei. In the north, the Khalkha Tatar Mongol tribes have been beaten for decades by arresting the Tainingwei, forcing the Tainingwei herders and farmers to move south.

The Khalkha Mongols were the tribe of Alchuborot, the fifth son of Dayan Khan.

Because it is too far away from Daming, Khalkha almost does not come to the border of Daming to plunder, and runs to grab the grassland of Tainingwei whenever he is free. Every time Tainingwei was robbed, he invaded the area around the north entrance of the Ming Dynasty to make up for the losses he suffered.

In history, the man in front of him was a child, and later became the leader of Tainingwei, but he was hacked to death by Ma Yong when he invaded the Ming Dynasty. The Khalkha Mongols took the opportunity to go south, forced Tainingwei to marry, seized Tainingwei's seal, and pretended to trade with the Ming Dynasty under the guise of Tainingwei.

As a result, there was embarrassing content in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, and Hulahachi, the leader of the Khalkha Mongols and the grandson of Dayan Khan, was mistaken for the new generation of leaders of Tainingwei.

Wang Yuan suddenly asked, "Duoyan Sanwei, what is the specific situation now?" ”

"Lord Shilang ...... to say a lot of beans in a bamboo tube immediately."

It turned out that after Duoyan Sanwei was stationed in the herdsmen, there were not only herdsmen in the territory, but also many farmers engaged in farming.

Some of these peasants were snatched away by Duoyan Sanwei, and some took the initiative to take refuge when they couldn't survive in the Ming Dynasty. The farther south went, the more peasants came in the Sanwei area, and in some places Chinese became the lingua franca.

Tai Ningwei was caught between the north and the south, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only bow down to Duo Yanwei and obey his orders.

Fuyuwei was also oppressed by Duoyanwei, and could only continue to develop westward, and his troops had reached as far as Heilongjiang and Jilin, fighting with the savage Jurchens in the northeast all day long.

Duo Yanwei was beaten by the Tatars, bullied Taining and Fuyu two guards, and occasionally came to the Ming border to rob.

Wang Yuan asked again: "Do you know any news about Tatar Mongolia?" ”

He replied, "The grandson of Dayan Khan, Buchi, has succeeded to the throne as the Great Khan, known as 'Bodi Khan'. The Khalkha Mongol chieftain, the fifth uncle of Bodi Khan, does not seem to respect his nephew. Although there was no open rebellion, large swathes of left-wing Mongolian pastures had been stolen. ”

"Bodi Khan's third uncle, the Mongolian deputy khan, has he established himself as a khan?" Wang Yuan asked again.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, right-wing Mongolia is too far away from us. ”

Wang Yuan turned his head to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Tatar Mongolia has been divided into three. ”

Zhu Houzhao was very happy and said with a smile: "This is the work of you and my monarchs, as soon as the little Mongolian prince dies, the Tatars will definitely decline!" ”

The child hurriedly patted his ass: "The martial arts of the Holy Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty are known to all parts of the grassland, and children can be stopped crying." ”

"Hahahaha!"

This sycophant is so cool to shoot Zhu Houzhao, he likes to be praised by others, words such as "Wu Yong" and "Shengming" can't scratch the emperor's itch.

The boy took the opportunity to say: "I ask His Majesty the mighty and brave Holy Son of Heaven to allow Taining Weihu to have more goods. ”

"Accurate!"

Zhu Houzhao was happy in his heart, and directly expanded the scale of trade with Tainingwei.

Wang Yuan did not stop it, and supporting Taining and Fuyu is now the right strategy. To the north, it can block the expansion of the Khalkha Mongols, to the west, it can suppress the development of the Jurchen tribes, and to the south, it can beat the arrogant Duoyanwei.

Wang Yuan only added: "After the expansion of the mutual market, Tainingwei must not invade the south again, otherwise trade will be cut off directly!" ”

"Don't dare," kowtowed to the child, "Since the grace of the Holy Son of Heaven, Taining Wei will never betray again, and will only be the grassland barrier of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and smiled: "Let's go down." ”

Waiting for this person to leave, Zhu Houzhao asked, "What do you think of Erlang?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "If the child is telling the truth, then Tai Ningwei must support it." Even if His Majesty moves north, it should mainly recover the cities of Jibei, and cannot directly destroy the Duoyan Sanwei. Forced too hard all at once, they either took refuge in Khalkha Mongolia or left-wing Mongolia, and the Ming border would have to bear more pressure. Therefore, our future combat goal is to recover the cities of Kuanhe and Daning, weaken the strength of Duoyanwei, and make Duoyan Sanwei balance and contain each other again. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Erlang is right, just act according to this strategy." ”

Duo Yanwei sent Proton Boge, Tai Ningwei sent Proton Treat as a child, Fu Yuwei was too far away and didn't react for the time being.

Zhu Houzhao was also ready to continue hunting in the grassland, but news came from the capital that the Empress Dowager had died of illness and asked the emperor to go back to mourn as soon as possible.

The Empress Dowager's surname is Wang, and she was very beautiful when she was young, and Xianzong Zhu Jianshen wanted to make her queen. But the eunuch estimated that he had accepted a bribe, and he made a hindrance and renamed Wu as the queen. Empress Wu was only in office for a month, and was abolished by Zhu Jianshen, and finally let Empress Wang take the throne.

It's a pity that Queen Wang met Wan Guifei. If it weren't for his forbearance and virtuousness, if he didn't make any mistakes or omissions for more than 20 years, Queen Wang would probably be abolished.

Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was raised by Empress Wang, and he also loved Zhu Houzhao very much.

Although Zhu Houzhao fell out with his mother, he had great respect for this grandmother, and he had to go back to mourn him.

Wang Yuan also had to go back with him to attend the funeral of the Empress Dowager.

However, the emperor granted mercy this time, and Wang Yuan only needed to wear plain clothes to mourn, and he could immediately go south to Guizhou. Fortunately, it was the Empress Dowager who died, and if the Empress Dowager died, officials across the country were not allowed to marry wives for 100 days (one month for civilians), and the marriage between Wang Yuan and Song Linger had to continue to be postponed.

When Wang Yuan left Beijing, he also carried the royal flag, and it was a very special royal flag, which could mobilize troops and horses nearby in case of local rebellions, and even lead military operations across provinces.

Of course, this is for King Ning!
