Just when Lin Dan Khan was struggling with what to do with his own people, Apocalypse was listening to the legend of the Duoyan Department in the Military Affairs Yuan.

When Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, he was ready to rebel and seize the world, in order to prevent the king of Ning behind him from stabbing him in the back, he spent a lot of money to buy off a group of Mongolians under King Ning, among these Mongolians there are people from the Duoyan department, which also shows that the Mongolians at that time only recognized gold and silver and were not loyal to use the visit site.

The success of the rebellion of King Yan began to reward the heroes, Duoyan, Fuyu, Taining and other three people and horses were called Ha Sanwei by the descendants of the seal, and the Ming Dynasty allowed them to graze in the Liaodong area and accept the reward. Later, when the two departments of Fuyu and Taining were jointly annexed by the Khalkha Department and the Han Department who moved eastward, the Duoyan Department first rushed to the edge of the Great Wall to accept the protection of the Ming army, and then saw that the Ming army could not protect them and began to protect themselves.

The Mongols of the Duoyan Department are not ordinary Mongols, because of their low status so that their women can only be little wives when they marry other ministries, but they still have no regrets, and they have made a difference while keeping their heads in obscurity, which is to use the Ming Dynasty to give him a reward for mutual market patents to engage in reverse infiltration.

The most powerful encroachment on the Duoyan Department is the Karaqin Department, and the Karaqin Department has the ability but the head does not turn and does not learn. The other Khalkha Ministry swallowed the Taining Department and the Fuyu Department first, and then pretended to trade with the Ming Dynasty and accept the reward, and lived a very nourishing life. Seeing that Duoyan was holding a golden rice bowl that could be traded in the market with regular rewards from the Ming Dynasty, the Karaqin Department couldn't help but just asked Duoyan to give him some of the rewards after receiving the Ming Dynasty's reward, and the relationship between the two sides slowly changed after a long time.

Identity and status are only temporary, and long-term interests are what people want. Take the woman who married out of Duoyanbu as an example, although she can only be a little wife when she marries into her husband's house according to the rules, this little wife's status in the family is higher than that of the eldest wife, and there is nothing else just because the other one brings more dowry, and she can also receive regular subsidies in her mother's family. If a woman in the Duoyan tribe dies her husband or is abused by her husband, many people take their children back to their parents' house without saying a word, because their mother's family has food and drink much better than starving every few days at their husband's house.

In this way, many years passed slowly, and the original population of Karaqin slowly flowed to the Duoyan Division, and the Duoyan Department and the Karaqin Department were inseparable from each other in terms of you and me, and I and you. For the Ming Dynasty, they were the Duoyan Ministry, and externally they were the spokesmen of the Karaqin Ministry, whether the Karaqin embezzled Duoyan or the Duoyan assimilated the Karaqin only God knows.

After listening to the narrations and additions of Sun Chengzong, Zhang Weiying, Gao Di, Wang Yongguang and other old ministers, Tianqi gradually understood why the always docile Duoyan Department broke out and hurt people this time. First, the construction of the two estuaries meant that the Duoyan tribe's channel for rewarding and inter-market was no longer the only channel, and exclusivity and jealousy made them lose their minds. Second, the Ming Dynasty was also very impatient, and the pressure of the integration requirements forced the people of the Duoyan Department to bear it unbearable, so they had to rise up and resist the destruction of the city and kill people.

It seems that this explanation makes sense, but when Apocalypse thinks about it, he always feels that there is something unusual in it. Judging from the consistent behavior of the Duoyan Department, they are very tolerant, and they give up the regular rewards given to them by the Ming Dynasty for the sake of impulse, which is a very typical act of willfulness, which is not in line with the consistent style of Taoguang Yanghui in the legend of the Duoyan Department. Tianqi told the ministers about his doubts, and Sun Chengzong and others also felt that there must be something inside, but this kind of thing could not be guessed, and it could only be said with evidence.

So everyone's topic turned to the Jurchen negotiation requirements, and when it came to the Jurchen Apocalypse, his eyes lit up, and he asked Sun Chengzong: "Sir, I heard that this Jurchen person formed an alliance with the Mongolian Horqin tribe to kill horses, and before Nurhachi's death, he named the leader of the Horqin tribe Oba as Tushetu Khan, and married his granddaughter to Oba , do you think it could be that the Horqin people instigated the Karaqin people to attack the Ming army that built the city at the mouth of the two rivers?" If this is the case, the Jurchens are the masterminds, and they don't really want peace, but just want to use negotiations to drag us down so that he can free up his hands to attack north. ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "There is no evidence, but it is very likely. ”

Apocalypse said: "Otherwise, we will negotiate as we do, but the offensive cannot be stopped." Mao Wenlong's men had 30,000 men, and 15,000 were sent to Liaodong to fight a while ago, and the effect was very good, so he immediately sent another 15,000 people to Liaodong to continue harassing, so as not to let Huang Taiji have a chance to breathe. As for the silver that is not used, now all the fire consumption of the whole country is owned by the Central Bank, and yesterday's first dividend of the Central Bank has made Zuo Guangdou laugh. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The last time we sent 15,000 men to attack Liaodong, there were gains and losses, and yesterday the Heavenly Army Staff Office just made an analysis of the Dongjiang Army's combat process, and the results of the analysis have not yet come out. And the matter of the two estuaries can't be ignored like this, if you want to use troops against the Duoyan Department, you should increase the number of troops to Jizhou from other places, and Mao Wenlong's Department should be the first choice. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "It's a little inappropriate for us to attack from two sides now, but to look at it this way, the 15,000 Dongjiang Army sent troops to Liaodong to cooperate with the negotiations with the Jurchens. It's just that there are no more battles and wars of attrition like the last attack on Anshan, and this time we must make it clear to Mao Wenlong. As for the use of troops against Duoyan, let's wait and see the attitude of the Han Department, if the Mongols form a group this time and the Jurchens hook up with them again, it is not a good thing for us to send troops rashly. ”

Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't speak, Wang Yongguang asked: "May I ask the emperor, if the Jurchens want peace, we want to negotiate but we want to attack, and the Mongols killed 3,000 of us, but we are afraid, so will the soldiers not be able to figure it out?" ”

You can't figure it out, right? Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The Jurchens are fake and fake negotiations, so we have to fight while talking to force them to change from fake talks to real talks, and in doing so, we have the certainty that we can let go of what we are sure of." The Mongols killed people but the specific reason for the killing is unknown, and the attitude of the surrounding forces is unclear, if we rashly send troops, there will be variables, it is better to accumulate men and horses first and not to see what the forces of all sides move, and then use the power of thunder to make a contribution. Of course, I just suggested, what to do with the military staff to discuss the execution of the military aircraft, and then give me a result. ”

Sun Chengzong said at this time: "The matter of the Dongjiang Army sending troops will be ordered now, as the emperor said, we are sure of this, if the Jurchens are angry and angry, they will just hit out the real purpose of their fake negotiations." First transfer Zu Dashou's 5,000 sailors to Ningyuan, and Zu Dashou will take over Zhu Mei's position as Ningyuan's deputy general, because I estimate that if you want to use troops against Duoyan this time, it should mainly be mountain warfare. ”

Zhang Weiying also said at this time: "Yes, most of the Duoyan Department is mountainous, although the mountain infantry battalion transferred to Jizhou has been expanded to 30,000, but most of the recruits are still training, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, plus the 2,000 people led by Zhang Jing'an have not yet returned, and the transfer of Zu Dashou's 5,000 veterans back should be able to increase a lot of strength, not to mention that the mountain infantry battalion and the marine battalion of the Navy Division were trained together at the earliest, and if they want to cooperate together, they should be able to cooperate very well." ”

Gao Di said at this time: "I think that the first thing I should do is to give Duo Yan Bu a tight and stern question letter, and let him explain all this himself, after all, Duo Yan has not announced that he wants to turn against me, and it is better for him to explain it himself." ”

Seeing that everyone has their own opinions, Tianqi said: "Then give an order to Mao Wenlong now, and the Military Affairs Yuan of the Duoyan Department will discuss it." After saying that, he went back to the palace.

In the afternoon, Tianqi was reading the chapter in the Yangxin Palace, and talked about repairing the palace, "For a while, the queen said that the Qianqing Palace was old, and she couldn't tell what dirty things were recommended to repair it, and she just had a little silver, and Tianqi ordered the craftsmen to enter the palace to repair the Qianqing Palace Hall in three days, and send more people to prepare for it in a few days." Just said a few words, Yang Gongchun came, and brought the explanations from the Han Department and the Duoyan Department that the Military Affairs Institute had just received.
