Before the man had reached the hall, he heard a cat meow.

That's right, it was a "meow", Zhu Youxiao glanced sideways, but it was Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, holding a black and white kitten in his arms.

"See Your Majesty—"

The nobles were still talking, and when they saw the emperor and the [Bayi Chinese www.x81zw.xyz] coming in with the ministers, they saluted one after another, and then Xu Hongji came out and said with a smile:

"I heard that Your Majesty likes to raise cats, and it just so happens that the missionaries and foreign businessmen in Nanjing City know each other, so they bought this Francophone cat with a lot of money."

"It is said that this is just a purebred in their foreign court."

Looking at the cat that was picked up by the inner supervisor, Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, but still took it in his hand, put it in his arms, looked at Xu Hongji and said:

"Wei Guogong has a heart."

"Your Majesty has liked to raise animals since he was a child, in fact, the minister can also understand what His Majesty thinks, this animal is indeed empathetic and very spiritual."

Xu Hongji said, with an honest and honest smile on his face.

Zhu Youxiao praised it in his eyes and praised it in his mouth, but he sneered in his heart.

In this court now, no one is wearing a few masks to show people, no matter how high the official is, in front of his own emperor, he is all honest and responsible.

Turn your head away from your sight, and who knows what it looks like?

But then again, I can't show my preferences anymore.

The things in the palace spread quickly, and the three things that he liked to eat stew were somehow spread out, and then Wei Zhongxian secretly said that after half a month's effort, the cooks who cooked for him, and the people who went out to purchase raw materials, changed several batches back and forth.

Nowadays, people like to prescribe the right medicine, and think on the bright side, that is to rush to tie themselves up.

But if you think about the bad things, there are many problems.

Before eating the three things of serious palace stew, from purchasing raw materials to simmering slowly, there are many processes and steps required.

In case of a mistake in any link, poison the person again.

Since then, Zhu Youxiao has stopped eating stew, and once deliberately smashed a plate in front of several ministers, which was to show them.

Looking back, when I supported Wei Zhongxian and Dou Donglin, I was really scared.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at it and observed the expressions of the nobles at his feet, needless to say, each of these people must have a cat in their homes.

After all, if they like to be the emperor, whether they like it or not, they have to raise one to pretend.

Now the matter of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's good cat has been known to women and children.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that perhaps because of his own reasons, the pet cat actually became popular in the upper social circle of the Ming Dynasty.

Sensei said that the nobles and the royal family, even some big families, have also started to raise cats...

Moreover, a number of shops specializing in cats have gradually appeared in the local area, and they cooperate with some maritime merchants to import cats from other places, and then breed locally and sell them at low prices in batches.

These mongrels are generally sold to the middle class and the poor class, so that they can also join the national cat ownership boom led by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Breed and then come out of your own cat pavilion, you have to be called a royal cat, no matter what kind of imperial cat was before, the price is several times more expensive than ordinary purebred cats.

No way, can it not be expensive to match with the emperor's cat?

This time I called them to a meeting, I wanted to go straight to the point and release the military power with a glass of wine, pick out the thorns and destroy them, and then let go of the reform.

didn't think about it, as soon as the talent sat here, he gave someone a head shot.

The cat is still spoiled in your arms, are you embarrassed to get angry directly?

That's too unkind.

Zhu Youxiao caressed the black and white snowball in his arms, glanced at the inner supervisor, and silently watched the attendants go up to the hall to arrange the banquet, with a cold expression.

Thinking of the urgent report sent by Xiong Tingbi this morning, Zhu Youxiao's face couldn't get better.

Jiannu is Jiannu after all, and when he comes down, there will be ghosts if they don't use troops on their side, so we must solve the matter here as soon as possible.

Nurhachi hadn't finished dealing with his own, and as soon as he heard the news that the Emperor of the Apocalypse led the Yongwei Battalion to tour the south, he immediately gathered the Eight Banners Army to "cut Ming".

This time, the old slave played with his heart.

He knew that the Liaoshen area under Xiong Tingbi's management had become an iron bucket, and it would lose a large number of troops if he took Shenyang or a large area of land alone, but it would not be very useful.

Therefore, while attacking Liaoshen, Nurhachi told the lords of the four major tribes close to Houjin among the five major tribes of the Korqin Department and the Inner Khalkha tribe, asking them to jointly attack the Fuyu Division.

The head of the Fuyu tribe is the son of the golden family, a distant descendant of Genghis Khan, with an impure bloodline, but he is often proud of it.

The Fuyu Department under the command of Zaisai is close to Chahar and Daming, and is mortal enemies with Houjin, and they are also the only ones among the five major departments in Inner Khalkha who have not fallen to Houjin.

In this morning's emergency report, Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, had an unobstructed view of Nurhachi's tactical intentions, and had an insight at a glance, saying that Houjin's attack on Liaoshen was a vain.

Nurhachi deployed the heavy troops of the Eight Banners in Liaoshen, and easily asked Horqin and other troops to help, and it seemed that he was going to attack Liaoshen on a large scale, which was just a pretense.

The real battlefield this time is not in Ningjin, but in Fuyu.

The Fuyu Department is stationed in the middle reaches of the Liao River, within the reach of its influence, starting from Zalut in the west, crossing both banks of the Liao River in the east, controlling the south of Horqin in the north and Guangning in the south.

Once the Fuyu tribe was destroyed by the Houjin, the Inner Khalkha would be connected with the Outer Khalkha and Korqin tribes, and these tribes, without exception, had fallen to the Houjin.

At that time, the Ming army in Liaodong was almost completely at a disadvantage, and even Quang Ninh would be directly threatened by the Houjin soldiers.

Liaoshen and Ningjin are all chicken ribs, whether they stick to Liaoshen or abandon Ningjin, it is nothing more than empty waste of money and food, and it is of little significance.

Rather than sending troops to rescue Liaoshen, it is better to wave troops to the north and rush to the aid of the Fuyu Department who have fallen into a bitter battle.

As Xiong Tingbi said, the battle situation in the Fuyu area determines whether Nurhachi will transfer Liaoshen's Houjin troops, and if the battle situation in Fuyu improves, it will make the Liaoshen war easier.

Of course, as the most powerful of the five major departments of Inner Khalkha, the Fuyu Department is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.

Nurhachi was afraid that the rest of the four major Inner Khalkha tribes combined would not be able to defeat the Fuyu Division, so he let most of Korqin, which was located in the eastern part of the steppe, do it together.

The old grudge between Zai Sai and Nurhachi is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao adopted Xiong Tingbi's suggestion this time and placed his bet on Fuyu.

During the Battle of Salhu, in order to deal with the aggressive Houjin, Emperor Wanli had left a generous golden silk to Zai Sai, the leader of the Fuyu Tribe, and asked him to help send troops.

At that time, Zai Sai had long looked down on the Jianzhou Jurchens, and felt that this time the Ming Dynasty dispatched a large army, and he did not need to send too many people at all.

Who can let go of this kind of lying down to make money?

Zaisai gladly accepted the bounty, and only led more than 10,000 light horsemen to join the Juniper army on the North Road.

After Nurhachi defeated Juniper on the North Road, Zaisai just arrived, and before he could run, he was caught off guard.

Zaisai and Nurhachi fought fiercely in Tieling, and in the end, because there were too few soldiers they brought, and they were temporarily recruited light cavalry, they were defeated in the battle, and their two sons were captured alive.

Soon, Fuyu suffered a heavy hemorrhage and exchanged more than 10,000 horses, cattle and sheep for slaughter.

When Zaisai was taken prisoner, he obeyed Nurhachina's words in Hetuala, and bluntly said that he had been convinced, like a good baby, and always said that when he went back, he would take the "big gold" as the horse's head.

Nurhachi was overjoyed, and when he saw the envoy from the Fuyu Ministry, he didn't raise the price much, and immediately put him back.

As soon as Ke Zaisai returned to the Fuyu Department, the first thing he did was to send an envoy to Beijing, accept the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and completely break with Houjin.

Regarding the defeat and capture of Salhu's army, Zaisai was not only unconvinced, but extremely unhappy.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao and Lindan Batur of Chahar made a big alliance, and in addition to more than ten tribes in southern Mongolia, it was this Inner Khalkha Zai Sai who shouted the most joyful.

Since he couldn't defeat Liaoshen, then Nurhachi didn't bother on it, and attacked the Fuyu tribe and surrounded Liaodong in the sphere of influence, which was his new strategy.

Zhu Youxiao definitely can't watch him connect like history, and then steal Daming's ass casually, although the person is not there, the holy oracle was sent back to Beijing this morning.

didn't say it, Zai Sai is an ally of the Ming Dynasty, this year's alliance is not a joke with you, since Jiannu dares to fight, the Ming Dynasty will dare to accompany you.

In a word, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid, you have to fight with Nurhachi, and you will have Daming's father to support you!
