Chapter 133: The Jade Seal of the Country

The side walls are not majestic, and even look a little rudimentary.

The reason is simple.

This section of the side wall is not the center of gravity of defense, and the center of gravity of defense before the Ming Dynasty has been Xuanda. It was only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the center of gravity of defense shifted to this side.

For example, Huang Taiji broke through from this area.

The side walls in this area were really repaired until the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

And now, thousands of miles outside the side wall are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to repair the side wall here. For the Ming Dynasty, there may be a Great Wall, but the route of the Great Wall is different from that of later generations.

Within the Great Wall, although the number of people is gradually decreasing, there are still some people on the whole. Especially near the side wall, there are a large number of guard tuntian.

If you just look at the area under cultivation of grain.

It is hard to imagine that these lands have been in the imperial court account books for many years, and they still need to be replenished by the imperial court.

It is true that at the foot of the Great Wall, due to climate and other reasons, the yield per mu here is not so high, and even in many places, sorghum must be planted.

But on the whole, it is not to the point of such extinction every year.

However, even when the water conservancy in Hebei was repaired, this area was deliberately ignored. But it's also true.

It's just that this situation will soon change.

After the victory in Mobei.

Zhu Qizhen has a lot of time to adjust the shortcomings in the guard.

Beyond the Great Wall, the scenery becomes vast.

If nothing else, it seems that everything has returned to the true nature of nature, and the existence of human beings has not brought the slightest change to the world at all.

The only change may be this galloping path between the peaks.

Even the gallop road could not be changed, the erosion of nature, large patches of weeds, emerged from the cooked soil under the gallop.

It's quite thriving.

This also made Zhu Qizhen pay attention to one thing, that is, the maintenance problem of Chidao.

The road has been built for several years.

There are also a lot of questions. The biggest problem is maintenance. Even if hardwood is in the open air, it decays quickly.

"But I don't know when I can use the rails."

From the north of Xifengkou, although the mountain road is not rugged, but all the way uphill. Only after crossing the Mayu Mountain. It suddenly dawned on me.

At this moment, it is the time of autumn and horses.

The cavalry of the brigade and the cavalry of all kinds of livestock, about hundreds of thousands, covered Zhu Qizhen's sight.

There are more than 10,000 people, boundless, and even more so livestock, and the sight on the grassland is very open, and there is still no edge to be seen. But Zhu Qizhen can also see that the people from Zhu Qizhen who came to greet him are divided into two types.

One is the Ming soldiers, that is, the garrison in Daning, under the leadership of Fang Jin, to greet Zhu Qizhen, including Duanmurui, and He Yong and other officials.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." A shout, the sound shook the field, countless Mongolian herdsmen all knelt at their feet, Zhu Qizhen looked over, and could not see a person looking up.

Wu Jin was very nervous.

Tens of thousands of soldiers around Zhu Qizhen were all led by Wu Jin.

Although Wu Jin was born in Mongolia, Zhu Qizhen also trusted Wu Jin, and Wu Jin had proved their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty with countless blood in his family. 、

Therefore, this time the Northern Expedition almost emptied the forces of the Beijing Division, Xuanda, and Haixi. The one who stayed in Beijing was Wu Jin.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care, and with a wave of his hand, he separated the left and right, and Zhu Qizhen rode forward, making everyone move forward.

Suddenly, a man came out with a small child, knelt on the ground, and said, "The Great Khan of Mongolia, the Taishi pays a visit to the Great Khan of Tomorrow." ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes froze and looked at Fang Jin.

Fang Jin immediately said: "Your Majesty, these two people have come to vote with more than 1,000 people in the past few days, and the ministers have no time to tell the difference, so they can only ask Your Majesty to show them." ”

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and did not speak.

He also knew that Fang Jin was probably a little selfish.

Probably wanting to surprise him, Zhu Qizhen looked at the two and said, "Who are you all reporting your fate?" ”

The old man said: "The minister is the Mongolian Taishi Maoli child, he is the youngest son of the Mongolian Great Khan Tokhan Makgulghis, the only descendant of the Golden Family. ”

Zhu Qizhen already had a premonition in his heart.

This is perhaps the biggest takeaway of this Northern Expedition.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What happened? ”

Marco Gurgis took a few steps forward, knelt at the feet of Zhu Qizhen, and presented a square wrapped in a yellow cloth with both hands.

The soldier beside Zhu Qizhen immediately stepped forward to take it with both hands and presented it to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and saw that it was a jade seal, Zhu Qizhen looked at the text on it, and his heart moved, but he gave this jade seal to Li Xian beside him.

Zhu Qizhen was already suspicious. Li Xian took it with trembling hands and looked at it carefully, but saw that there was a seal on it: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." "There is also a piece of gold and jade, and even the inscription on the front side.

Li Xian looked up and down, left and right, looked at it carefully, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is the heirloom jade seal." ”

As soon as the words "Heirloom Jade Seal" came out, everyone around Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed.

Zhu Qizhen took it with both hands, rubbed it carefully, and then looked at Marco Guergeth and the Maoli child behind him. Mao Li child immediately understood, walked a few steps on his knees and said: "Heaven and earth have a great emperor, and now the grassland is your pasture, the world is your Happy Valley, the descendants of Genghis Khan, I want to invite you to rule, yes."

Place. Please also ask the Great Emperor to be lenient. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at the old man and the young man kneeling below, knowing that they were also forced by the situation and had to do it.

For the Mongols, betrayal was never too much of a problem in the face of survival. If it weren't for the fact that he raised troops to oppose Yexian, he was beaten to the ground first, and under the pressure of Yexian, Maoli could only take Marco Guergis and hide in Tibet. All of their more than 1,000 tribes were already the only ones in Chahar's department.

The so-called Chahar Department is the descendant of the Yuan Dynasty's cowardly Xue army, and has always been a direct subordinate of the Mongol Great Khan, that is, the hardcore subordinate of the Golden Family.

Willing to fight for the Golden Family until the last moment.

It's just that in the face of the strong strength of the tile spurs, they had no way, at the beginning of the Ming army's Northern Expedition.

They still have some luck mentality, if this time the tile spur and Daming are both defeated and injured, they may still be able to gain a foothold on the grassland, but now the result of the battle of Yanran Mountain has completely dispelled the idea of gaining a foothold on the grassland.

The Ming army broke 130,000 from 50,000 and ordered to die first, this result was too appalling

In this way, they have only one way.

Take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no other way.

It's just that being a dog also has a different way of doing it.

In order to strive for the best treatment, they handed over their biggest hole card, which is this heirloom jade seal. Not necessarily true.

Zhu Qizhen naturally didn't care.

All he cared about was the political influence of the jade seal. This thing was in the hands of Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen said that he was real, so naturally it was true.

In fact, now the influence of the jade seal on the Ming Dynasty is not great, and under the management of several generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has long been unstoppable.

The heirloom jade seal is just an embellishment.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, Li Xian is going to do it." ”

Li Xian immediately agreed, and someone moved the case table from the carriage on the side, and Li Xian laid the paper and grinded it in one go. Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while and said: "Feng Ma Ke Guerjisi, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, after inheriting the Yuan, the hereditary is in vain. ”

As soon as these words came out, the child didn't know the inside story, and just kowtowed according to the rules, but the disappointment between Mao Li's eyebrows was difficult to hide.

It wasn't what he wanted.

What he wants is a pasture, and finally Mobei, even if it is Beihai.

These places beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty can allow them to graze, and he believes that the descendants of Genghis Khan will one day make a comeback.

It's just Zhu Qizhen's words, but it cut off all his thoughts

If it was Emperor Taizong who was here, he might agree to come down, but Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to be in Mobei, and in the future, the Son Jin family will be like the Ashina family in the Tang Dynasty, and it may not be able to become a noble family.
