Most of people's fears and worries come from the unknown.

Daning's side never knew how big the black army was and how many troops there were, so it was worried, and vice versa, the black forces didn't know how big Daning was and how many troops there were, and the two countries had been fighting for so many years, so it was roughly judged that they were equal.

But in fact, the territory of the Heiwu Kingdom is beyond imagination, when the Heiwu Kingdom unified hundreds of small kingdoms, large and small, the patchwork of the empire was so large that even the Heiwu Khan Emperor himself did not know how big it was.

Just in terms of the area of the territory, Heiwu is almost equivalent to two Daning, which is even larger than the emperor predicted before.

However, except for the cold land in the southeast of Heiwu, which is equivalent to half of Daning's territory, coupled with the low productivity of Heiwu, agriculture is not as developed as Daning, not only agriculture, but all industries are worse than Daning, so the strength is greatly reduced.

However, it is because the black force is too big, so there is no way to rule, the Mongolian Empire has ruled for a short period of time, but it can't be controlled at all, if you want to ensure that the place as big as the black force is always stable, Daning needs at least more than 1.5 million soldiers to garrison all year round, but this is simply impossible.

The one who knows Heiwu best on Daning's side is Ye Yunsan, so after he returned to China, the emperor had already talked to him in detail many times.

East Warm Pavilion.

Ye Yunsan unfolded the maps he brought back and spread them on the ground, you can imagine how much risk he has taken in order to collect maps over the years, and it is even more risky to hide these maps from being discovered.

"It's still not complete."

Ye Yunsan squatted there and pointed: "Red City." ”

"This is the capital of the Heiwu country, and it is comparable to Chang'an in terms of scale, but the black martial arts are far less rich than our Daning, even if most of the people living in the red city are not doing well, the black martial arts country is heavy in taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are barely enough to live after paying, and the people over there often eat something called black bread, which is rough and difficult to swallow, far less than our steamed buns."

Ye Yunsan's fingers moved south with the map: "There are at least more than 10,000 miles from Hongcheng to our northern Xinjiang, and from Senbao to their southern Xinjiang, which is about more than 4,000 miles from north to south, and the range of nearly 10,000 miles from east to west is regarded as the Black Martial Southern Courtyard, and the strength of the Southern Courtyard alone is at least two million, but the combat power is uneven, in addition to the fierce combat power of the border army, there is also the most elite beggar army in the Southern Courtyard, the beggar army is about 50,000 people, which is trained by Su Gai, the general of the Southern Courtyard, and the combat power is terrifying." ”

Ye Yunsan said: "The most worrying thing is that there are many tribes in such a large area of the Southern Courtyard, and the men of these tribes can participate in the battle when they get on horseback, so if you really want to count the total strength of the Black Martial Southern Courtyard, I am afraid that it will be ......."

Ye Yunsan looked at the emperor's face: "At least three million people can be pieced together." ”

The Emperor nodded.

In the Northern Expedition of Daning, the number of soldiers that can be mobilized does not exceed 500,000, plus the first-line border army in northern Xinjiang, and the total number of troops drawn from western and eastern Xinjiang will not exceed 1 million.

One million against three million, still attacking.

"The strategy against the Black Warriors will not change in the next few years."

The emperor was silent for a while and then said, "Since three months ago, seven or eight small tribes have successively surrendered to Daning, but I don't dare to let these people in." ”

This strategy is actually a double-edged sword.

If it is used well, the disintegration of the strength of the black martial arts will naturally have a miraculous effect on the future war, but the black warriors know that Daning is doing this, if they send a group of people to pretend to surrender to him, it will be a huge hidden danger to start a war in the future.

The contest between countries is not so simple.

The emperor frowned slightly: "In your opinion, where is our advantage?" ”

"First, the minister has already said just now, although the black martial arts

There are three million troops in the Southern Courtyard, but two million of them can't even beat our van soldiers, and its composition is complicated, if it can be differentiated, it is naturally not worth mentioning, there are more than two million troops are pieced together by various tribes of the Black Martial Arts, the command is chaotic, it is not one heart, the wartime dispatch is difficult, and the Daning soldiers naturally cannot be compared. ”

"Second, we have a steady stream of sailors transporting food supplies from overseas, while the Black Warriors are internal friction, their territory is too large and the northern Xinjiang line can't grow food, all rely on transportation, the grain road is long, and the consumption is serious."

"Third, Su Gai is already old, although his talent is not inferior to the general Tie Liuli, but because the black military changed the Khan Emperor Su Gai gradually lost his previous status, the impact on the Southern Yuan is not as great as before, and his Liao Killing Wolf and others are not so close to him."

"Fourth, morale."

Ye Yunsan looked at the emperor: "Fighting spirit, the black warriors are far inferior to my Daning soldiers." ”

The emperor snorted, "Then what do you think the odds are?" ”

"Five-five."

Having said so many advantages, Ye Yunsan actually didn't have the slightest grasp that the Daning Northern Expedition would win.

"Five-Five-Five......

The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked slightly: "Before me, if Daning and Heiwu defeated the duel, it was only four or six at most, but now it has reached five or five." ”

"Actually, there is one more thing that the minister is not sure about."

Ye Yunsan said: "The minister has been operating in the black army in the past few years, and he has secretly built an espionage organization, but those who are bought from various tribes are not reliable, their loyalty is based on the amount of silver given by the minister, and the minister has broken off contact after he comes back, so the first thing the minister thinks about after returning to the north is to pull this line up again, which requires a large amount of silver investment, and it may not be effective." ”

"Daning is not short of silver."

The emperor said: "You calculate how much you need, and I will ask the household department to allocate it to you." ”

"Yes."

Ye Yunsan raised his head and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty...... I heard that His Majesty is sleeping less and less, so this is not good. ”

"I know."

The emperor rubbed his temples: "It's good to be busy for the past few years." ”

He walked to the window and moved: "After fighting the battle against the black martial arts, at least I can relax for ten or twenty years, and then I will have time to rest more, how can I do it now." ”

Ye Yunsan wanted to persuade a few more words, but was stopped by the emperor waving his hand.

"There is no need to mention these things, marry the girl home in a down-to-earth manner, I owe you and Han Zhaozhi, and I don't know what you two can give you when you get married."

"Your Majesty......"

Ye Yunsan knelt down: "The few of us can have this day because Your Majesty adopted and taught at the beginning, this is already the greatest gift, if it weren't for Your Majesty's acceptance, we might be a businessman now, a farmer and a farmer, how could we have such an identity and status now." ”

"Okay, okay, it's so tiring to kneel around."

The emperor stretched out his hand to help Ye Yunsan up: "I thought, can you kill Su Gai after returning to the northern frontier?" ”

"Kill Sugai?"

Su Gai is the general of the Southern Courtyard of the Heiwu Kingdom, and his power is monstrous, although he may not have a good relationship with the new Khan Emperor of Heiwu now, and the new Khan Emperor naturally has to choose his cronies, Su Gai's position is unstable, but it is not easy to move people like Su Gai.

"You have to plan carefully."

"After you go back, you can talk to the old dean Han Zhaozhi and Shen Xiaosong more, they are flexible, especially the old dean is more far-sighted, maybe help you, right...... Shen Leng is full of ideas, you can also talk to him about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, maybe it will help. ”

"Obey."

Ye Yunsan could naturally hear some cold things, after all, he had such a good relationship with Ye Liuyun Han Zhaozhi, thinking

Seeing that kid might be His Majesty's child, Ye Yunsan felt sad for His Majesty for a while.

"The minister retired."

"Go ahead."

The emperor habitually raised his hand and rubbed his temples, sat down and continued to review the folds, and suddenly thought that according to the previous practice, the New Year was approaching, and the rewards in the palace should also be issued.

"Ship on your behalf."

The emperor shouted, and Dai Fangzhou hurriedly trotted in from outside the door: "Your Majesty commands." ”

"Is there a list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this year's New Year?"

"It's been listed a long time ago, and it was placed on His Majesty's desk two days ago, and His Majesty hasn't read it yet."

"Hmm."

The emperor looked to the side, picked up the list and looked at it carefully: "This year is different, Ze'er is already the crown prince, the year will be doubled, the queen will follow and add 30%, and Concubine Yi will also add 30%...... Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen's side will be sent over according to last year's share. ”

"Yes."

"Also, ask how the Internal Affairs Office could have leaked someone?"

"Huh? Your Majesty, who is missing? ”

"Cha Yan."

The emperor frowned slightly: "Cha Yan is Concubine Zhen's goddaughter, and it stands to reason that she should also be counted, so it will be distributed according to Concubine Zhen's quota of forty percent, and let the Internal Affairs Office draw up a new list according to what I said." ”

"Your Majesty, General Shen's wife, Concubine Zhen sent someone to send a lot of New Year's goods yesterday, if you give it again, is there a violation system?"

"That's what Concubine Zhen gave, and this is what I gave."

The emperor looked at Dai Fangzhou: "When did you have so many problems?" ”

His Majesty said that he would give it, and he said on behalf of Zhou Xin that he was doing something blind, raised his hand and slapped his mouth twice: "The slave is guilty, and the slave is guilty." ”

But I can't help but think in my heart, Miss Shen Chayan is just the county lord knight, Concubine Zhen has already rewarded a part, and His Majesty will reward another part, although it adds up to more than the concubine, but it is more than the ordinary concubine, look at it now, I don't know how many people in the palace will be red-eyed, but what else can be said by the red-eyed, because Concubine Zhen's side has not risen.

Harem, there are always many rights and wrongs, and no one has broken the gossip about Concubine Zhen over the years, saying that she was born recklessly, and that she didn't even give birth to a child for His Majesty, why should she sit on the throne of a concubine.

In fact, if you think about it, it's not just Concubine Zhen who didn't give birth, if it wasn't for His Majesty finding out a few years ago......

Thinking of this generation of boats, he hurriedly put away his thoughts, and he didn't dare to think about this matter anymore, it was going to happen.

"Also, Concubine Zhen's parents are here this year."

The emperor said: "According to the share given to Chayan before, it will also be sent to Xia Chan Pavilion Garden, and the two old people will come to Chang'an City for the New Year, and they can't be treated badly." ”

Only then did Dai Fangzhou understand why even the queen added three percent of Concubine Zhen but did not add one percent as usual in previous years, counting Miss Shen's Concubine Zhen's parents, it was equivalent to twice as much as Concubine Zhen took last year.

It's just that the people in the palace can't say anything.

His Majesty just thought about it casually, and all the people in the harem had to shut up honestly, and they didn't dare to say it openly.

The emperor opened the cabinet and took out a small wooden box from inside: "There is a thing here that the people of the Western Regions paid tribute to you a long time ago, and you sent it to Concubine Zhen, so I should take something out for Chayan myself, I can't let Concubine Zhen go out by herself, her goddaughter is naturally mine." ”

Dai Fangzhou knows that it is one of His Majesty's favorite things, the white jade tiger head buckle, which was hung on his belt when His Majesty was fighting, so where was it rewarded to Miss Shen, it was clearly awarded to General Shen.
