The next day, Monan, Chahar Khan's tent.

Lin Dan Khan held Zhu Xu's holy decree in his hand, his face was gloomy and changeable, and he gritted his teeth!

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty deceived people too much!"

Lin Dan Khan threw this holy decree to the ground and scolded viciously. This is still angry, pulled out the long knife behind him, and slashed desperately on the table, spewing dirty words in his mouth.

Below him sat Nikru, the Mong. The ancient national teacher looked indifferent, lowered his head, looked at the ground, and his eyes were cold.

"You say, what to do, what to do, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to paint us the world, but also to control our cavalry, you say, what to do, what to do!"

Lin Dan Khan roared angrily, slashing the table desperately.

Nikru looked up, his face indifferent, and did not speak.

The Ming emperor's decree was harsh in wording and had a strong warning intent. At the same time, all material support for Chahar was cut off, and the tiger wolf guard was eyeing the tiger, which was already the most thorough warning and threat.

There are only two roads in front of Chahar, one is to obediently listen to the words of the Ming Dynasty, draw a line with Horqin to rule, and divide the desert equally.

This is important for the single-minded unification of Mongolia. In ancient times, Lin Dan Khan, who realized Genghis Khan's ambition, was naturally unacceptable.

The second way is to turn against the Ming Dynasty, which will naturally have to pay a huge price, and even the danger of Chahar's destruction.

Chahar's current strength is indeed able to swallow up the extremely weak, and Horqin, who can't breathe, but he also has to face the powerful blow of the Ming Dynasty, 30,000 tiger and wolf guards who have been trained for many years, plus the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, these are threats that cannot be ignored for Chahar.

The former path is naturally good, and for Chahar, it is also necessary to continue to grow slowly and annex the surrounding small tribes until the powerful can annex Horqin and unify Mongolia. Ancient, and the Ming Dynasty against each other! It's just that I'm not reconciled, so obedient to the Ming Dynasty, extremely humiliating!

The latter is extremely dangerous, even if Chahar fights hard and can win in the end, it will be a huge loss of victory, not to mention the dynasty, just other small tribes are enough to destroy Chahar!

"Speak!"

Lin Dan Khan roared angrily and split the table with a knife.

Nikru turned his head to look at Lin Dan Khan, who was panting and sweating profusely, and at the same time his eyes were hideous, and he wanted to choose someone to devour, the corners of his face moved, and he said sideways: "Great Khan, now I can only act according to the will of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"You said you want me to listen to that little emperor? Don't! ”

Lin Dan Khan continued to slash the table, roaring angrily.

Nikru knew that he couldn't persuade Lin Dan Khan now, so he lowered his head slightly and didn't speak.

What is the situation in the desert, Lin Danhan knows very well in his heart, they can't compete with the Ming Dynasty, except for the first road, everything else is a dead end!

Lin Dan Khan was in pain and entanglement in his heart, struggling desperately, every time he cut down, it was as if he was slashing on Zhu Xu's body, venting fiercely.

The only one who is entangled with the same is the Great Khan Badali of Korqin.

The holy decree of Badali was received earlier than Lin Dan Khan, and now the people are already in Shen. Yang.

"Great Khan, what should we do, there is no news from the Ming people yet."

In Badali's room, a Taiji, or Baylor, walked around, his face full of anxiety.

Badali was a cowardly Khan, without ambition, without ambition, and as timid as a mouse. After the Horqin elite were taken away by Huang Taiji, he became more and more incompetent.

He wiped the cold sweat on his head and said with a dry mouth: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, as long as Chahar doesn't move, everything will be in time." ”

"Great Khan, when Chahar makes a move, it'll be too late!" This Taiji almost shouted, he was really scared.

Although there is pressure from the Ming Dynasty, Chahar will be scrupulous, but Chahar really wants to annex Horqin desperately, even if the Ming Dynasty exterminates Chahar in the future, they Horqin is really gone!

The corners of Badali's mouth moved, and he didn't speak. He is now all entrusted to the Ming Dynasty, if there is no Ming Dynasty, they Horqin can really only be swallowed by Chahar before their eyes.

Sink. Yang Governor Yamen.

Sun Chuanting, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Hucheng, Zu Dashou and others are all here, discussing in detail.

Zhang Wenda has been transferred to the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, and Sun Chuanting, the prime minister of Liaodong, has concurrently served as the governor. They have all read Zhu Xu's will, as well as the words of the inner supervisor.

Xiong Tingbi looked very happy, looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Lord Sun, the emperor has a good idea!" Set up Tainingwei, divide Horqin into eight, constitute eight, not only divide Horqin easy to control, not to rebel, but also to play a mold on the grassland, in the future, I will unify the desert in the Ming Dynasty, I will do it according to this, no longer need to worry about border troubles! ”

Yang Hucheng, Zu Dashou and the others all nodded, Horqin is now meat on the chopping board, and the choice without it is indeed a good opportunity for them. The only concern is Chahar, which is a huge variable.

If Lin Dan Khan couldn't resist the temptation and forcibly annexed Horqin despite the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, then their Ming Dynasty would have to face a bloody battle.

"If Lin Dan Khan really dares to resist the order, even if all the tiger and wolf guards are killed in battle, they must destroy Chahar, and they must not be given a big chance!" Zu Dashou said in a deep voice, his eyes were cold.

There must be no unity on the grassland, and no tribe is allowed to sit on the grassland - this is the policy of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland!

Yang Hucheng also nodded, looked at Sun Chuanting, and pleaded: "My lord, the 30,000 horses of the Governor's Mansion have been assembled, if necessary, you can start now, and hold Horqin first!" ”

Although the men and horses of the Governor's Palace were all infantry, if they were equipped with cannons, they were enough to inflict enough damage and losses on the cavalry of Chahar.

Sun Chuanting listened to their words, his fingers slid around on the map, and he said calmly as usual for a while: "Don't worry, there is Man Gui in Tumu Fort, and Chahar will hesitate again and again even if he wants to move." We still have time. Xiong sent 10,000 troops first, not to Horqin, but directly between Horqin and Chahar, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were ready at any time. Zu Dashou's cavalry is now rushing to Horqin, camping twenty miles away from Horqin, and then ordered to be full of Gui, full of armor, keep an eye on Chahar for me, if there is any change, don't ask for orders, directly crusade, at all costs! ”

Several people present were all old men in the army, generals on the battlefield, and they all thought about it when they heard it, and they all realized something.

Xiong Tingbi said: "What does Lord Sun mean is that Lin Dan Khan may not dare to move?" ”

Sun Chuanting laughed and said, "Although this temptation is big enough, even if Chahar only has a trace of clarity, he will definitely not take the risk!" ”

Everyone nodded, even if Chahar moved, they would fight at all costs, even if the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years was wiped out, they would never allow Chahar to annex Horqin!

Sink. Yang's actions naturally can't be hidden from the cabinet, they don't have the power to transfer Man Gui, they all need the authorization of the Ministry of War, which will naturally be reported to the cabinet.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were also discussing, and the affairs in the north once again attracted their attention.

Since Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, Mengyuan has always been a major problem for the Ming Dynasty. Ancient, beating the Mong. Gu couldn't hold his head up. It's just that this situation will come and go over time, and for two hundred years, Meng. Ancient forces have been invading the Great Wall, which is a great disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

Even now, this is still the case.

"Elder Sun Ge, you say, does Lin Dan Khan dare to mess around?"

Bi Ziyan looked at the map on the table with a solemn face.

Sun Chengzong was calm and indifferent, and said with a smile that he didn't look at: "The result is the same whether you dare or not, our dynasty will never allow any forces north of the Great Wall to appear again that threaten my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly, the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty are the best at this time, and the split of Horqin has brought opportunities to the Ming Dynasty, but also hidden risks.

Bi Ziyan had a touch of confidence in his heart, and said freely, "I have controlled Horqin, plus the tiger and wolf guards of Tumu Fort, in a few years, I should be able to cut off Chahar, and the north should be worry-free......"

Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, holding the teacup with both hands, looking thoughtful.

Lai Zongdao has already resigned due to illness, and there are only Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong in the cabinet, and Zhu Xu has rejected the transcript of increasing the cabinet auxiliary ministers several times, both of them vaguely understand that the emperor seems to have no intention of expanding the number of cabinet ministers, and regards the two as left and right prime ministers.

'Could it be that the emperor intends to restore the position of prime minister? ’

This was the thought in the hearts of the two, but neither of them declared it. They couldn't guess Zhu Xu's thoughts.

"Let's talk about this year's summer grain." Bi Ziyan put away the map road.

Sun Chengzong put down the teacup and said, "This year's tax grain should be further reduced, less than 20 million stones, but sweet potatoes and the like will increase significantly, which should be alleviated." The southwest is expected to be about 8 million stone in the whole year, and about 5 million in other places, the key is still Liaodong, there is still a difference, and it needs to be made up by the ten major granaries. ”

Liaodong is receiving immigrants on a large scale, and those who cultivate and cultivate are not self-sufficient, and need supplies from the imperial court, and this number is getting bigger and bigger.

Bi Ziyan shook his head slightly, and said, "In the past, taxes and silver were mostly corrupted and lost by local governments. ”

Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Except for the river. North, mountain. East, other places are extremely slow, no effect at all, I'm afraid that you and I will have to go to Beijing. ”

Bi Ziyan had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and he knew very well in his heart that without the strong pressure of the emperor or the imperial court, the willingness of local innovation would be extremely low, and even if they went out, without the prestige of the emperor, most of them would not have much effect.

With a deep groan, Bi Ziyan said, "It's okay, the six southwestern provinces can be suspended, and the other provinces, we will personally go to supervise it." ”

This was agreed, and Sun Chengzong said again: "Jiang. Su's flying pigeon passed the book, and the emperor dismissed Huang Liji, and let Xu Jie in Su. The state deals with the matter of salt merchants, presumably the emperor is already in Yingtian and has something to do. ”

Bi Ziyan also knew about it, and said, "I'm not worried about Ying Tian and Jiang. Su, the emperor should want to quickly cut through the chaos and deter, but I am worried about the war in the south now. ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his brows also furrowed.

River. Su is the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and more than sixty percent of the money and grain of the imperial court come from here, so how can he make a big move. On the contrary, it is the two wars prepared by the south, and if they are defeated, it will be an extremely important blow to the morale of the entire Ming Dynasty and the prestige of the emperor, and it will also affect the 'Jingzheng New Deal'.

However, Sun Chengzong quickly smiled, and said confidently, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to Liaodong, the south has also been arranged, and the navy has put a lot of effort into it. ”

Bi Ziyan nodded, he wanted stability, in his opinion, the entire Ming Dynasty needed stability, and the war in the south should be avoided, but in terms of military affairs, he had been cautious in speaking.

Bi Ziyan thought for a while, and whispered softly, "Royal Qian Zhuang ......"

Sun Chengzong heard it, but did not answer.

The royal money bank, which controls everything in the previous Huitong Commercial Bank, has tens of millions of deposits, money banks all over the country, and now holds the power to mint coins and issue them!

Such a great power in the hands of a wise and martial emperor is unsettling, if a mediocre, even mediocre emperor, is enough to drag a country into a catastrophe!

However, both of them also know very well that this royal money house belongs to the emperor, and they can covet it, but they must not touch it!

At this time, Zhu Xu was still reading the recital given to the household by the president of the branch of Huitong Commercial Bank, which was really interesting.

Through the data of major commercial houses, he roughly calculated the salt of Lianghuai, the silk of Suzhou and Hangzhou gathered in Jinling, and then went north for three years, and then conducted some seemingly superficial research on the economic situation of the entire Nanzhili.

This kind of research was not available in the Ming Dynasty, and something similar to statistics was just a drawing.

This is a timely rain for Zhu Xu, although this is not accurate enough, and there is no big data, it still gives Zhu Xu a lot of information and ideas.

From the amount of salt, silk, tea, etc., time, rhythm, etc., Zhu Xu can see many things that he can't see, or even think of.

"Interesting......" Zhu Xu said with a smile while eating pastries.

The canal was also written in the song, saying that the imperial court had built a new water conservancy and added hundreds of new towns on both sides of the canal. It is also written that the people of the Ming Dynasty, the rich like to hide silver, which makes the silver on the market decrease, forcing prices to rise and people's livelihood to be difficult.

The matter of the canal is easy to say, and the matter of 'Tibetan silver' also made Zhu Xu think deeply.

Was it the lack of silver in the Ming Dynasty, or was it because of the private collection of silver? If too much new currency is issued by the imperial court, will it cause new, uncontrollable inflation?

Cao Huachun stood quietly not far behind Zhu Xu, and as for the Hai Lanzhu sisters, they were still chatting in the upstairs room.

"Han Yan Zhi ......"

Zhu Xu looked at the last signature and nodded slightly.

In Zhu Xu's view, this recital is a bit of an afterthought, but for the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty, it should be the first time to see it, and it should have a certain impact.

At this time, there were actually many enlightened people in the scholar clan, and Zhu Xu had already seen a lot. It's just that how can we open a gap in the barrier of these two thousand years?

"Maritime Trade ......"

Zhu Xu pinched his chin and muttered to himself, he vaguely remembered that Ying. The rise of the country, the Netherlands. There was a blank period in East Asia, which was suitable for the development and expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
