Chapter 103: Past Events II

On the one hand, the Empress Dowager felt that Zhu Qizhen was right, but on the other hand, she felt that this matter was too risky.

Now because of Ma Zheng, Wei Institute, and so on, Daming's ability to go out of the fortress on a large scale is weakening. If for the sake of a few dozen people. And dispatch a large army, not to mention, whether the grassland can be found or not is still between the two. Even if it is found, if the tile thorn gathers a crowd to besiege it, once these elites die in the grassland, I am afraid that the nine sides will be empty.

To be on the safe side, this is absolutely unacceptable.

But what Zhu Qizhen said also makes sense.

People also influence each other, Zhu Qizhen in front of the Empress Dowager, has always said that the threat of tile thorns, and even Zhu Qizhen hung a map in the Qianqing Palace, beyond the nine sides, from Liaodong to the Western Regions, a large area of white, and wrote the word tile thorn. When the Empress Dowager saw it, she also felt shocked.

Although the proportions of the maps in this year are not very good, it can also be seen that the territory of the tile spur and the Ming Dynasty does not seem to be much different.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager did not want to show weakness in front of the tile thorn.

Zhu Qizhen finally planned his first military operation.

He ordered Ma Shun to let Jinyiwei determine the whereabouts of Adai Khan, and selected good men from the Beijing camp from Rang Li Dachuan, with a total of more than 300 horsemen.

From Beijing to the northwest, Jiang Gui also sent his own righteous son as a leader, and it took three months of preparation before he got out of the fortress in one fell swoop, crossed the desert, and killed Adai Khan.

At that time, the tile spur also found Adai Khan, but was pulled out by Li Dachuan and others. Tuhuan was furious, and the soldiers were surrounded by three times, and Li Dachuan led the troops to break out.

It is also because most of the soldiers are cavalry, and there are also heavy armored elite cavalry, and defense is not a strong point, but it can also be seen that the elite of the Ming army is also a first-class strong.

Fled more than 300 miles south.

The official government of the Datong General Army brought thousands of cavalry to respond. Seeing this, the tile spur gave up, saying that he had seen Wang Shi haunted the desert, and he had come to see him off, and returned the captured people one by one.

Even so, Li Dachuan and the others only came back with more than 100 horses, more than half of which were lost, and only one head of Adai Khan was left.

It's this spring.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty greatly appreciated this matter, and even the Empress Dowager felt that Li Dachuan was a general.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is a little depressed.

It's right to use one hundred and fifty elite cavalry to exchange human heads.

The people who died were not only the people who died on the grassland, but also a lot of Jinyiwei's manpower, and the spies who had been arranged on the grassland since the tenth year of Xuande were discovered by the Tile Thorn people and disappeared from there.

Just think about what happened to them.

However, the amazement in Zhu Qizhen's heart could only be suppressed in his heart, he added all the more than 100 surviving people to the guards of the Qianqing Palace, and also expanded the guards of the Qianqing Palace to as many as 300 people.

Zhu Qizhen has practiced riding and archery every day for several years. These guards naturally followed Zhu Qizhen.

Even some princes, if they couldn't endure this hardship, they were all driven out.

However, most of the nobles are still the second generation now, and their parents are generals who can lead troops to fight, and they can't see this kind of person who escapes from the battle.

Not to mention, the emperor held on.

On the contrary, you can't hold on, you are more precious than the emperor.

So anyone who can't hold on, after going home, will be whipped hard, unless like Zhang Zhong, he is really born with a disease. There is no way to do it.

The rest of the people are counted as one and must stick to it.

Therefore, these three hundred horsemen, placed in the Ming army, dare not say that they are first-class elites, but they are also determined to be above the level.

Unconsciously, Zhu Qizhen has gathered a large number of noble hearts.

This time I came to Nanhaizi to hunt, and there were also strong political factors.

Because Zhu Qizhen did not come by himself, but there were thousands of horsemen, among which there were various nobles with their own family soldiers, officers at all levels, these middle-level officers, they did not have the right to bring their own soldiers, but they could bring their sons.

The entire Nanhaizi has a direct guard in charge of guarding.

It can even be said that this is the aftermath of Li Dachuan's beheading of Adai Khan.

The Empress Dowager wants to show the whole world one thing with such an act, that is, the emperor has grown up.

Zhu Qizhen let out a sigh, wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the continuous red wall of Nanhaizi, and then looked at the stretching team behind him, although there were as many as 10,000 horsemen, but under the organization of Jinyiwei, it was neat and tidy, and there was no clutter.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's go." ”

"Drive." With a bang, Zhu Qizhen entered Nanhaizi with three hundred guards.

After Zhu Qizhen arrived in Nanhaizi, he did not immediately start hunting, but rested first. The official hunt will not begin until tomorrow.

The same will be placed, as well as various nobles and even civil officials.

This kind of hunting, when Emperor Xuanzong was there, there were a few times, and now I haven't seen a grand occasion for several years. All the nobles are gearing up, wanting to take the lead in front of the emperor.

When Zhu Qizhen was resting, Wang Zhen was always busy. Don't dare to slack off.

Zhu Qizhen's side is indeed inseparable from Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen has taken care of him since he was a child, and he even knows himself better than Zhu Qizhen himself. After Zhu Qizhen replaced Wang Zhen with Ruan An to serve by his side, he always felt uncomfortable.

There is no other reason, Ruan An is too honest.

It's not good for the celebrant and eunuch to be too slippery, and it's not good to be too powerful, but it's not good for the city government to be unscrupulous. There are many things, and the emperor and the cabinet must not be allowed to fight in the ring.

Wang Zhen doesn't need Zhu Qizhen to say, he knows what to do? It's a great way to get a sense of proportion.

But Ruan An must Zhu Qizhen give an order to know what to do, but how much Zhu Qizhen says and how much he does, it is like an architectural drawing, no more, no less.

This may be Ruan An's nature, so he can take on the heavy responsibility of building the city of Beijing, but he can't take on the heavy responsibility of the celebrant and eunuch.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen secretly transferred Wang Zhen back.

At first, he only let Wang Zhen serve by his side, and then he was in charge of the celebrant little by little.

Wang Zhen seems to have eaten a trench and grown wise. Zhu Qizhen asked Jin Ying to check, Wang Zhen really didn't do anything, and he didn't make any money.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen found a house in the capital and gave it to Wang Zhen, and gave him a lot of gold and silver as a comfort. And this time, Wang Li's intelligence was timely and led Datong's soldiers out of the jam. It also made a contribution.

has been sealed brocade clothes and thousands of households.

Zhu Qizhen has decided to let Wang Li go to Xin'an and set up a new Xin'an Thousand Households. It can be regarded as a reward for Wang Zhen.

After Xin'an was demarcated in Zhu Qizhen, it became an important window connecting Nanyang, and the actions of the Ming people were not bad with Zhu Qizhen's expectations.

Although there are strict restrictions, you must be registered in the Ming Dynasty overseas before you can go to sea. Such as the old port, Wansheng Shitangyu, and other places of household registration, in order to go to sea to trade.

But for many maritime merchants, this is not a problem.

After all, the Shi family has the final say in the old port, and Zhu Qizhen named Shi Chang'an as the consolation envoy of the old port, which is to entangle a large number of pirates to kill back the old port and take away the family business.

These maritime merchants or pirates who helped each other were rewarded, and the household registration of the old port was not a matter of a pen and paper?

This matter is not a problem even for some powerful people in the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Xin'an immediately developed, and for a time some people called it small Guangzhou.

After Li Shimian served as the magistrate of Xin'an County, he was very concerned about the things that Zhu Qizhen explained. Almost single-handedly, a tax collection system was established.

Especially after Li Shimian found out that the maritime merchants were all in their pockets, they never relented in collecting taxes. Xin'an County has also become the richest county in Guangzhou, even richer than the two counties attached to Guo in Guangzhou.

The only problem is that it is not very friendly to foreigners, after all, Zhu Qizhen's excuse is to support overseas people, so anyone who can come to Xin'an can fake their household registration, but they can't even speak Chinese.

How does this claim to be a Ming person?

Sanyang also looked at Xin'an differently, and Yang Rong played it directly, suggesting that he should also speak in Fujian. After all, Yang Rong is a native of Fujian, and he always wants to work for the welfare of his hometown.

Such things are also the norm in this era.

Therefore, Xin'an is mixed, Zhu Qizhen intends to strengthen his control over Xin'an, and use this as a tentacle to extend overseas, and send Wang Li to the past, which is also to give him an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

As for whether you can make meritorious contributions? Wang Li has a lot of right-hand men sent by Wang Zhen in the past, and Ma Shun takes care of him above, if this can't be done, then Wang Li's life will be divided into eating and waiting for death.
