In fact, before Hong Chengchou's recital was sent to Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen already knew about it, and he knew more than Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also worried! There was another good opportunity, but unfortunately there was no food here in Daming, otherwise, he could harvest a wave fiercely. Of course, just like Jianyu, if you make it up, you can still make it up. However, Emperor Chongzhen did not want to make up.

After all, Jianyu is already a grasshopper after autumn, how many more days can he jump? Emperor Chongzhen is confident that he can clean up Jianyu. In addition, there is another main reason, that is, Emperor Chongzhen is really not very familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't know if there will be another big disaster this year? If he scraped together grain and used it to fight a war, and as a result, a major disaster suddenly occurred in the country, then he would rather not fight the construction of the country, but should first do a good job in domestic construction.

The food problem, on the whole, is slowly improving. However, it still takes time, and it is impossible to solve the food problem of Daming in just a few years. You must know that after Emperor Chongzhen crossed, with his efforts, the thieves were pacified, and I don't know how many lives were saved, and the focus every year was disaster prevention and disaster prevention, and I don't know how many lives were saved.

It is merit that these lives are saved, but it is also a mouth that consumes food, and more food is needed than in the original history to support the people of the Ming Dynasty from starvation.

It was for this reason that Emperor Chongzhen actually learned about Jianyu's conspiracy early on from the Grade A eavesdropping seeds on Dai Shan and Azig, but he did not take action, but was busy with internal affairs first.

The Nanyang news fed back from the Zheng family said that because of the large number of grain purchases on the Ming side in the past few years, most of the Ming people in Nanyang began to grow grain on a large scale, and there were more and more Ming people from the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty who went to Nanyang. This situation seems to have attracted the attention of the authorities in the South Seas.

It is said that some countries in Nanyang have begun to rumor that the Ming Dynasty has a conspiracy, and it is likely that they covet the land of Nanyang and want to occupy Nanyang permanently, so that they no longer have to spend so much silver to buy food every year. More and more Ming people went to Nanyang, which was the first step to occupy Nanyang.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled, don't say it, if he didn't have his hands free now, he really wanted to knock down Nanyang, it was better than letting Xiyi continue to colonize Nanyang!

In addition, there is another situation in Nanyang that is not friendly to the Ming Dynasty. It is the countries of Nanyang, especially those areas ruled by the Xiyi, who buy a large amount of silk, cotton, silk, tea, etc. from the Ming Dynasty every year, and feel that their silver continues to flow to the Ming Dynasty, which is a bit of a loss. Seeing that Daming seemed to have a great demand for food, he thought about raising the price of grain to make up for the cost of buying silk, cotton, silk and tea.

For this, the Zheng family also told Emperor Chongzhen that at present, the Zheng family is coming forward to buy these grains, and all the countries in Nanyang are giving face.

After Emperor Chongzhen knew about this, he was not in a very good mood. As far as he is concerned, he hopes that the purchase of grain from Nanyang will be smooth and smooth, and there will be no moths. At least before the domestic grain production of the Ming Dynasty can reach self-sufficiency, it is best not to have twists and turns. Otherwise, we really have to raise troops to go south and teach a lesson to those who took advantage of the fire to rob the Ming Dynasty!

It was because of this incident that Emperor Chongzhen paid attention to the innovation of the Wei Institute. In the war in the south, after all, it is necessary to use the talents of the southerners to minimize the non-combat attrition in the army. It is also for this reason that the Yunnan Shapu Rebellion has not been increased in troops, but only let Qin Liangyu's white pole army assist Mu Guogong in suppressing it.

Seriously, there are a lot of things about Emperor Chongzhen.

But now, since Hong Chengchou's recital has been sent to Jingshi, it must be dealt with.

Huang Taiji was unexpectedly angry to death, and Jian Yu was very peaceful throughout the winter. Of course, excluding the Northern Expedition to the Sauron Department, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The mixed formation of the Yongwei Battalion and the Rock Battalion that stayed in Jinzhou to defend also spent a winter peacefully.

That generation of good people wants to plan everything, and if Yin Daming takes it, he will no longer let this army move. It's just more than 10,000 people's food and grass, and this can still be had.

After thinking about it like this for a while, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea in his heart. This time, if you move the Mongolian tribes in the east, I believe that on the Hetao Plain, there should be no Mongolian tribes who dare to make an idea, and they can move some Ming people to the past to open up wasteland and farm!

With this Hetao Plain, even if there is another disaster and famine in Qin and Jin, then there is no fear!

It's time for the military might of the Ming Dynasty to shock the grassland again!

So, Emperor Chongzhen approved Hong Chengchou's performance, and at the same time, he gave Hong Chengchou a secret decree and sent it to Shanhaiguan together.

In Hong Chengchou's recital, he first explained his previous strategy, and then explained that the effect was good, at least the Karaqin Department was willing to follow. Therefore, he suggested in the chapter that the patriarch of the Karaqin tribe, Gulu Siqibu, should be left in the capital to be given a false title as a hostage, and then let the Karaqin tribe cooperate to defeat the Ao Han tribe, and then cut off one of Jianyu's allies, laying the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to finally recover Liaodong.

After receiving Emperor Chongzhen's reply, Hong Chengchou went to see the approval of his own chapter as soon as possible. After all, it's about his credit.

If he is affirmed by the emperor, it means that he Hong Chengchou is not inferior to Lu Xiangsheng, and even stronger than Lu Xiangsheng in some aspects. After all, Lu Xiangsheng went to the battlefield to play with his life, while he Hong Chengchou was in the midst of strategizing, and his realm was different.

Opening the chapter, Hong Chengchou saw that Emperor Chongzhen agreed to his suggestion, and even asked him to send Gulu Siqibu into Beijing, to make him an earl, and retire in Beijing, which made Hong Chengchou even more happy, feeling that the emperor was wise and martial, and he Hong Chengchou also had a great credit.

However, what Hong Chengchou never expected was that when he opened Emperor Chongzhen's secret decree again, the cold sweat came down.

In his opinion, everything was a natural thing, but he didn't expect it to be a conspiracy of Jianyu.

For example, everyone thinks that the Karaqin Department is weak and close to the Ming Dynasty, so they will definitely not be able to withstand the coercion of the Ming Dynasty. Not only Hong Chengchou himself thinks so, but also the Ao Han Ministry, and even several princes of Jianyu think so.

In addition, the current predicament of Jianyu, such as lack of food and grass, such as low morale, etc., are also objective realities. At this time, the possibility of sending troops to the grassland is very low. And Gulusiqib's complaint also proves this.

In this way, Hong Chengchou didn't think that there would be anything wrong with this. It was also for this reason that he felt that with the ability of the Guanning Army and the cooperation of the Karaqin Division, which was familiar with the grassland, he would definitely be able to defeat the Ao Han Division. In this way, the credit is all your own.

However, I didn't expect Jianyu to be so cunning, and he used this mentality to make a plan. If there is no secret decree from the emperor, it is really possible to be fooled!

After Hong Chengchou finished reading the secret decree, the hands holding the secret decree were already full of sweat.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully put down the secret decree, wiped his sweat, and said to himself: "Fortunately, the emperor is watching, if you make your own decisions and do this first, then the consequences will be really unimaginable!" ”

After slowing down and stabilizing his mind, Hong Chengchou began to arrange according to the original plan, just waiting for Jianyu's side to make a plan.

So, next, the Guanning army began to make moves on the side, and the Jianyu side also estimated that it was about the same, so they began to deploy troops under various names, mainly to draw out the cavalry, saying that it was Gongwei Shengjing, and it was possible to continue to reinforce the north to crusade against the Sauron Department. Of course, in fact, there are enough cavalry to quickly break through into the steppe and intersperse.

On the side of the Ao Han tribe, its patriarch Ao Han Bandi asked Princess Gulun after some affection: "What is the place in the bag that Sheng Jing gave me, why don't you take a look first?" ”

Although Princess Gulun was very satisfied just now, when she heard this, she still shook her head and refused: "There is a strict order from Shengjing's side, and you must not look at it until the time is ripe." If I had seen it beforehand, I would have been punished! ”

"What does it matter if you look at it, how can Sheng Jing know about it?" Ao Han Bandi couldn't help but suggest again.

After reporting the matter of the Karaqin Department to Sheng Jing, Sheng Jing sent someone to give Princess Gulun two tips mysteriously, one of which was opened on the spot, saying that there was no need to care about the movement of the Karaqin Department, just keep the status quo; In addition, there is another bag, but it is for Princess Gulun to keep it, not for him to keep it, which makes him very curious, I don't know what Sheng Jing is going to do over there?

When Princess Gulun heard this, she was a little unhappy, and said to Ao Han Bandi: "Do you want me to be punished by Sheng Jing?" What are the benefits of doing so for the Ao Han tribe? ”

It was about her own vital interests, and she obviously didn't want to open it. On the other hand, she loves the Xinjueluo family, although she married into the Ao Han tribe. But Sheng Jing told her a thousand times, and even threatened her, letting her know that the matter must be very important, just for curiosity, she opened it in advance, and she would never agree.

When Ao Hanban heard this for the first time, he also felt that she was unhappy, so he didn't dare to insist, but he couldn't help but ask another question: "Then when can you open that bag, this can always be said, right?" ”

When Princess Gulun heard this, she still shook her head and said, "I can't tell you, otherwise, it will have an impact on things on Shengjing's side." ”

When Ao Hanban heard it for the first time, he was also a little unhappy, what the hell was going on in Sheng Jing, he hid everything from him. Could it be that if you marry a princess, you can really have the final say in the Ao Han tribe?

As if seeing his displeasure, Princess Gulun explained: "You are not more angry, Sheng Jing said that he will not let the Ao Han Department suffer." After the success of the matter, the pastures of the Ao Han tribe will be greatly increased. ”

Hearing this, Ao Hanbandi was finally happy, although he was still curious about the contents of the bag, but in the end he didn't continue to ask.

At the same time, on the side of Jinzhou City, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding, came from Guanglu Island with the will of Emperor Chongzhen.

When the guards Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong heard the content of the holy decree, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "I've been doing nothing in Liaodong, and I'm about to get sick." ”

"That's right, the last time I fought Jinzhou, before I had time to fight seriously, Jianyu surrendered, which didn't mean anything at all. This time, it's okay, and I can finally really fight him. ”

Lu Xiangsheng listened, smiled and nodded, there is a battle under the emperor's personal command, although it is very relaxed, but it always feels boring. For these capable civilian and military generals, they hope that their opponents can be stronger, so that they can fight strongly, and the opponents are too weak to really be interested.

Originally, Jianyu was the most powerful opponent of the Ming Dynasty, in the past, the Ming army and Jianyu fought, that was a series of defeats, and then defeated. Such an opponent, if he can win, will be the glory of his life.

However, once the emperor leads the army, under the emperor's clever calculation, as long as they fight according to what the emperor said, they don't need to bother their brains at all, every time they can fight more and less, and bully Jianyu unexpectedly, which does not let them reflect the value they should have!

Although this time, there is also a secret decree of the emperor, and there is an explanation of the matter. However, after all, the emperor did not come in person, which made Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong extremely excited. Even Lu Xiangsheng has some expectations.

Then, there was nothing to say, and according to the emperor's will, he began to move. Of course, if you don't accept it at night, you still have to block it if you don't accept it at night, and you can't let Jianyu know that there is movement on Jinzhou's side.

The situation in Liaodong seems to be calm, but in fact, it is calm before the storm again. It's just that Jianyu doesn't know, but the Ming army knows it.

On this day, after many times of communication, Jin Guofeng, the general soldier of Jinzhou, led 3,000 cavalry troops drawn from the Ningjin line and quietly entered the grassland.

On the Karaqin tribe's side, the son of Gulu Siqibu cooperated and led Jin Guofeng to appear in his camp.

For the arrival of the Ming army, and the Ming army and the patriarch were so harmonious, many clansmen were very surprised.

In this regard, the son of Gulu Siqibu naturally disclosed the situation to the clan, first talking about the pressure on the clan, including the oppression of the Chahar horse thieves and the Ao Han tribe, and as for the threat of the Ming army, he did not mention it. Then asked for help from Shengjing's side, but he couldn't even see anyone, but it was the Ming side, regardless of the previous suspicions, he was willing to accept the Karaqin Department, and the Ming Emperor also sealed the title of Gulu Siqibu. In this way, the Karaqin tribe can only survive if it takes refuge in the benevolent Ming Dynasty......

After explaining everything, and not giving the herdsmen below a chance to choose, he dispatched troops, about 2,000 people, to move with the Ming army and left the camp.
