In the days when the Ming Dynasty entered the summer in the sixth year of Hongxing, the political situation in the Central Plains was in a strange harmony. First of all, the Gulun princess of the Great Qing Dynasty, Ajige, married Nanjing, a good funeral, no, it was a beautiful marriage! The Ming Dynasty was also very face-saving and gave Ajige a very high courtesy, even more beautiful than when Donggu Gege arrived.

And both sides seem to have achieved a discussion, in the process of Ajige's marriage, no one mentioned the matter of "Ajig dowry", as if there was no Zhongzhou land transfer at all.

Of course, Ajige, who is only 13 years old this year, will not be able to enter Zhu Cihong's harem immediately. She was also arranged to live in the Laoshan Palace, just like Donggu Gege back then, and began to receive four years of re-education for her before officially entering the palace......

At the same time that Ajige arrived in Laoshan Palace, Emperor Zhu also changed his past style of "not being a good woman" and started his first "draft" after taking power.

It seems that this rare Ming monarch of the Ming Dynasty is ready to develop on the path of absurdity and immorality.

In addition to marrying Ajige and the draft, two major events occurred in the first few months of Hongxing's sixth year, one was that Zheng Chagu gave birth to a son for Emperor Zhu at the beginning of the year, named Hezeng. Now Zhu Cihong has a total of five sons, including He Hao, He Yao, He Yan, He Xing, and He Zeng, and it seems that there is no one to take over......

Another major event is that the Daming Household Department successfully issued a 10-year bond bill with a face value of 20 million taels of silver, with a coupon of only five cents (annual interest).

With such a low interest rate and such a long term, a "short supply" was issued, and it was sold out in less than a month!

At this time, in the northwest of the Central Plains, the originally peaceful situation suddenly changed drastically. The Khalkha Mongol Three Khans and the Mongol fifteen allied armies began to drive to the Hetao grassland outside the Great Wall in Yulin Town one after another.

This is a rare joint dispatch of troops by Monan and Mobei Mongolia! According to the report of the secret envoy sent by the Yikezhao League, who was attached to the acting king Zhu Cijiong, the total number of the Mongol army currently assembled in the northern part of the Hetao steppe is likely to exceed 100,000!

And soon there will be a Mongol Khan who will lead his "Cowardly Xue Army" from Dadu, and the Mongol army will eventually reach 120,000 people gathered in Hetao!

A Mongol Khan, a 120,000-strong Mongol army...... This thing also looks a bit like traveling through time and space.

However, Zhu Cijiong, the acting king of Yulin Town, did not dare to take it lightly.

Although Yulin has been afraid of the Mongols for many years, this time it is a Mongolian Khan who has returned! And there are as many as 120,000 troops under his hands, which sounds a bit of a deterrent.

"The Great Khan of Mongolia? Old, it should be your relative, right? ”

"Distant relatives, far, far away relatives...... It's quite close to you, the prince. ”

"What? Are you related to this king? That's ......"

"It's Erzasak Khan, your eldest brother's brother-in-law."

"It turned out to be Fulin!"

In the Daiwang Mansion in Yulin City, Zhu Cijiong was talking to an old Mongolian man at this time, this old man was chubby, happy, and there was no deterrent when he looked at it, and there was a little Mongolian girl who looked a little similar to him, with her head down, her face red, and she couldn't help but peek at Zhu Cijiong, the "third prince"!

This Mongolian old man has a bit of a background, his surname is only a catty, the number of Linchen, he is a descendant of the "little prince" Dayan Khan, a descendant of a serious golden family, and he is qualified to be the Great Khan of Mongolia.

However, his strength is not good, and he has an Ordos Wanhu in his hand, known as "Jinong", which means prince. In the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and sealed the Ordos Department Jinong.

Later, Zhu Cijiong ran over from Shanxi again, when he first came, this Erlinchen still felt that the third prince of Zhu was easy to bully, and once sent troops to attack, but he was beaten all over the ground by a group of murderers killed by Lu Liangshan and Datong Mansion, and he was no longer the "Jinong" of the Qing Dynasty, but the "Jigong" of the third prince. Zhu Cihong himself is the king, of course, he can't be crowned the king of the people below, so he kept an Ordos county duke for Erlin Chen - the current Ming Dynasty does not have the county duke, but Zhu Cijiong is on the table, and Zhu Cihong will approve it.

And this time, Erlinchen brought his granddaughter Saren to Zhu Cijiong as a side concubine, and by the way, he explored the confidence of the third prince Zhu.

Zhu Cijiong's confidence is very strong when he looks at it!

He returned to Yulin from Nanjing with guns, gunpowder, and cloth worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and as soon as he returned, he summoned the generals and announced the method of reorganizing the troops and horses of the institute -- there were more than 40,000 households in the army of Dai Wang, and they all disposed of land in Yulin, Yan'an, Ningxia, and other places, and according to the standard of one soldier per household, about 40,000 troops could be concentrated. Because the sources of these armies are a bit miscellaneous, the internal rectification has always been a problem, and Zhu Cijiong, Li Jiantai, Jiang Xuan, Gao Di, and Luo Xiushen have been tossing for several years before they can be regarded as a bit eyebrow-raising.

Taking advantage of Zhu Cijiong's return from the make-up class this time, there was still an opportunity to make great gains, and it happened to be a drastic rectification, and the army of more than 40,000 people was organized into 16 regiments according to the standard of 2,500 people per regiment, of which 4 were cavalry regiments (not traditional cavalry, but musket cavalry) and 10 infantry regiments. They were all equipped as much as possible according to the standards of the new army of the Ming army - muskets and long barrels were enough, but the cuirass was a little less.

While reorganizing the army, Zhu Cijiong learned the news that the Mongol army had gathered in the grasslands north of the Hetao, so he issued an order to Erlinchen, who was attached to him, and asked him to send his granddaughter Saren to Yulin as his side concubine......

This is actually forcing Erlinchen to express his position, if he refuses to send his granddaughter, then Zhu Cijiong will immediately send troops to wash the Ordos Department in blood!

In the past few years, the Ordos Department has made a lot of money by selling muskets and iron tools to the grassland, and selling horses to Yulin.

However, Erlinchen is also an old fox, and he has already inquired clearly - the brave king of the Qing Dynasty will not come, at most, the "Mongolian Great Khan" Shunzhi will come to the Hetao grassland to take a turn, maybe he will not get close to Yulin, so he will be stationed in Guihua City and deal with the matter.

So Erlinchen took his granddaughter and came to Yulin in a hurry.

"Is Duoduo really not coming?" Zhu Cijiong is still a little worried, he is not afraid of Fulin, but Duoduo is still a little scary.

"Not coming." Erlinchen said with a smile, "Recently, there has been chaos on the Korean side, and Duoduo has to go to calm down." ”

"What's wrong with North Korea?" Zhu Cijiong hurriedly inquired.

Erlinchen said: "What else? The untouchables are making trouble...... In order to build a grain transportation station between the Liaohe Hetao and Xuanfu, Duoduo had to recruit 80,000 Korean people to build roads, tuntian, and fortifications, and he was not allowed to bring his family! This is to force people to death! How can the North Koreans not rebel? ”

Duoduo's oppression of the Koreans seems to have gone too far, and after the promulgation of the latest "Levy Order", there was a commotion in all eight provinces of Korea, so Duoduo mobilized 12,000 troops into Korea, and he himself was stationed in Uiju, North Korea, to personally supervise the collection of people.

"If Duoduo doesn't come, why should Fulin come?" Zhu Cijiong was still a little skeptical.

"Of course he has to come!" Erlinchen said, "Now Wu Sangui and Zhunger are attacking the Yeerqiang Khanate, and the Yeerqiang Khanate is in chaos, how can it be stopped?" Moreover, the Kazakh Khanate was also broken up last year, and the Bukhara side did not dare to move, and the Hoshute Khanate, of course, could not support the Yarkand Khanate...... And as soon as the Yaerqiang Khanate collapsed, the communication between Tibet and Mongolia was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty! When the time comes, how will the blessed Mongol Great Khan be? The current Mongolia is not Genghis Khan's time, and the lama has half the final say! If he dares not to come, the Great Lama of Tibet will decree that the Great Khan of Mongolia may have to be replaced. ”

It seems to be the truth......

Zhu Cijiong squinted his eyes, was silent for a while, and then turned his gaze to the slightly mellow little girl Saren, and laughed: "Today is a good day, so I won't talk about national affairs...... Saren, come here and let the king take a closer look! ”
