Chapter 234: Crying and Laughing
"What?"
Since the overall situation has been decided, and the time for going south is almost up, Zhu Youxiao is now following the officers and men of the North Sea Fleet down the river and preparing to return to Beidagang at the northern tip of Sakhalin Island.
He never thought that Yan Yingyuan, Sun Chuanting and others would jointly send a letter!
It doesn't matter if it's something else, his current state of mind, the ordinary situation, can't make him feel the slightest bit moved.
However, this letter jointly played by all the first-class members really frightened him and made him cry and laugh.
"Korqin's Zhaisang, want to marry his eldest daughter, the first beauty of the grassland, Hai Lanzhu, who is just nineteen years old, to me and be my side concubine?"
"This ......"
Standing on the deck of the big warship that was hurrying down the Heilongjiang River and towards the mouth of the sea, holding the letter in his hand that had just been sent by the battle chicken F12, Zhu Youxiao was a little speechless.
Although Hai Lanzhu's hearty and generous temperament and gorgeous beauty have spread all over the northern prairies of the Ming Empire, Zhu Youxiao is a little speechless about this kind of interest-based marriage.
Obviously, these are the important ministers of the Ming Empire, and they are a little anxious.
No matter what Hai Lanzhu says, he is also a gege, and he is barely qualified to be a side concubine for the Ming Emperor.
The current Zhu Youxiao has not yet been released, and he likes to wander everywhere, so he doesn't like to stay in the capital at all, so there are very few concubines who are favored by him, which makes these important ministers very anxious.
They are playing so together now, and the deep meaning behind it is hidden: that is, the emperor, you hurry up and spread the rain and dew, and add a few princes and princesses to the royal family, which is the top priority of the thriving Ming Empire!
Indeed, now that there is a huge Ming Empire, there are few royal people, how can Zhu Youxiao be alone?
The Han Empire has always focused on spending scattered leaves, and other gods and horses have to stand aside.
Whether it is for the prosperity of the Ming Empire, or to stabilize the minds of the ministers of civil and military affairs, or to stabilize the country and society, it is urgent to add more to the royal family.
This just proves what Zhu Youxiao thought before, many things, especially the big things of blood inheritance, are simply involuntary.
As long as Zhu Youxiao dares to refuse this family affair with Hai Lanzhu, they will be forced to play, keep playing, and even bypass Zhu Youxiao to have a national draft!
But when they did this, Zhu Youxiao didn't blame them, and he didn't dare to object.
Otherwise, people's hearts will really be scattered, and it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Speaking of which, the cause of this incident was Cao Bianjiao of the Xuanwu Army and Huang Jingyi of the Firearms Brigade of the Royal Guards.
The two of them led the Xuanwu Legion and the Guards Firearms Brigade, and after cleaning up and controlling the entire Liaohetao, they started the idea of the Horqin tribe next door.
Although there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people in the main account, the Horqin tribe has countless affiliated tribes, with a population of at least one million or more, and it is a large tribe with very strong strength.
The main reason why the two of them fought the Horqin tribe was because this tribe blocked their two legions and continued to expand to the northwest.
The second is that today's Huang Taiji, with more than 400,000 people, is resting among the Horqin tribe.
They have a lot of territory, horses, cattle and sheep, and they are really a big fat sheep that can't be fattened anymore.
Therefore, it is understandable to be targeted by Cao Bianjiao and Huang Jingyi, two bold people.
So, these two guys, after discussing it in a hurry, began to gather troops, and the 100,000-strong army rushed towards the Horqin tribe!
Although His Majesty the Emperor did not approve of the immediate expansion of the Northwest Prairie, there was no hard and fast rule.
As long as you do your job well, you can choose the opportunity to attack the enemy.
That's the case with Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi.
Li Dingguo and Hao Shaoqi, the two guards corps led by the two of them, have completed their own work in the three regions of the great northwest, and have basically completed the two basic national policies of Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Shaanxi in an all-round way.
Therefore, it is reasonable for them to attack the great northwest of the empire in a big way, and they only have merit, not fault.
And now Cao Bianjiao and Huang Jingyi are the same, after more than two months of hard work, they have cleaned up and controlled the entire Liaohetao area, and the two basic national policies have been promoted.
Therefore, their large-scale attack this time is also excusable and not at fault.
Where would you have imagined that as soon as the 100,000-strong army entered the steppe of the Horqin tribe, Nazhai Sang personally ushered in with a large group of men and horses. Think
They are not here to go to war, they are here to surrender and submit!
After pleading guilty, Zhai Sang said that yesterday, after Huang Taiji heard that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was attacking, he led more than 400,000 clansmen overnight and continued to run towards the west!
And their Horqin tribe used to submit to Huang Taiji and his Houjin, which was a last resort.
Sending his sister and youngest daughter to Huang Taiji as a princess is also because of Huang Taiji's aggressiveness.
Like this time, Huang Taiji came to ask for help, but his own Horqin didn't give them any help, but was forced to hand over some rations, barely enough to let Huang Taiji and his more than 400,000 clansmen eat one meal a day.
Now, since Huang Taiji has run away, the Horqin tribe is willing to completely surrender to the Ming Empire and swear a blood oath never to betray.
Moreover, he is also willing to marry his eldest daughter Hai Lanzhu, the most shining pearl on the grassland, to Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Empire, as a side concubine.
At this moment, Cao Bianjiao and Huang Jingyi were completely dumbfounded!
Nima's! Don't do that.
Lao Tzu just killed with great interest, and wanted to have a three-light sweep, so you tell us this?
However, reach out and don't hit the smiley man.
What's more, behind this big event, the Ming Emperor is also involved.
Obviously, this situation is no longer something that the two of them can handle.
So the two ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot to rest, and at the same time used battle chickens to immediately report to the military department and the government affairs yuan.
The reason why he didn't report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately was because it was not easy to report this kind of marriage directly to the Emperor.
What's more, both of them have now been strengthened three times in a row by Zhu Youxiao's artifact, their minds are flexible, their thinking is clear, and they also know that the biggest problem of the Ming Empire at the moment is the problem of the royal population.
Such a huge empire, and it is still growing rapidly, and there is only one royal family, Zhu Youxiao?
How can this work?
No matter from which point of view, the two of them are very much in favor of His Majesty the Emperor to recruit concubines and spend as much as possible for the royal expenses as soon as possible.
Before this extremely important issue, the other Shenma situations were drizzle.
If it weren't for the fact that in the past year, His Majesty the Emperor has accumulated too much power, and everyone is so busy that they don't touch the ground.
Ministers of civil and military affairs, they have already joined forces.
This is a big matter that cannot be delayed, and it is absolutely impossible to let His Majesty the Emperor continue to be willful.
Otherwise, everyone's hearts are not steady, and there is no pressure on the long-term future of the Ming Empire.
Therefore, after receiving the news reported by Cao Bianjiao and Huang Jingyi, everyone thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Whether it was the Wenchen headed by Yan Yingyuan or the military general led by Sun Chuanting, everyone was closely using the battle chicken to send messages and discussed.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that this Hailanzhu should be accepted.
Not only that, but two or three concubines of Han women must also be selected.
Together with the sea blue orchid beads, in order to enrich the harem, as soon as possible for the Ming royal expenses to disperse.
If you want to do it, you have to do it big!
For such a large empire, there must be a thriving royal family.
So, the important ministers who had hurriedly finished the discussion jointly signed a concert for Colonel Zhu You.
This time the performance is completely a death sentence for the palace.
Whether the emperor agrees or not, the matter has already been decided.
In this way, there is Zhu Youxiao's current tangled appearance.
He's really crying and laughing now.
