Sheng Yong and the others hurried to the Qianqing Palace, and found that the emperor was calm as usual, talking and laughing, and couldn't help but secretly admire.

Taking into account all considerations, Zhu Yunwen decided to give up the idea of rushing to attack the Japanese state and instead delayed the map.

At the end of August of the seventh year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen issued edicts continuously.

1. The Fujian and Zhejiang fleets were transferred to form the Pacific Fleet, with its headquarters in the Ryukyus, and the fleet was commanded by Zhang Rong, the commander of the Naval Governor's Office, whose task was to control all the islands southeast of Kyushu and Shikoku and prevent the Japanese from using these islands to harass the Ming Dynasty, and the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy was also assigned to Zhang Rong's command.

2. The Korean Fleet was formed, with its headquarters on Jeju Island, and the fleet commander was concurrently served by Tan Yaowu, the commander of the Royal First Fleet, whose mission was to control the islands in the northwest of the Japanese Kingdom and prevent the Japanese from harassing Korea, Shandong, and Liaodong.

3. Order the Shandong Fleet to take control of the islands off Shandong and drive away the pirates entrenched on it.

Fourth, order the Zhejiang Fleet and the Fujian Fleet to go to sea to patrol to prevent the Japanese from entering the Yangtze River and to protect the safety of coastal guard posts.

5. Establish a civilian ordnance management department under the Ministry of War, implement unified management of civilian ordnance, and at the same time provide standard ordnance for maritime merchants in accordance with certain requirements, such as crossbow arrows, bows and arrows, and other controlled ordnance.

6. Shipbuilding shall be fully opened to the private sector, but there are restrictions on tonnage and armament, and the Navy Governor's Office will send commissioners to conduct regular inspections, and if the regulations are exceeded, they will be punished for rebellion.

After the edict was issued, the hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, while the maritime merchants cheered and enthusiastically went to the military department to register and buy ordnance, preparing to go to sea in a big way.

Crossbow arrows were the most purchased weapons by maritime merchants, this kind of crossbow arrows were originally designed for cavalry combat, which could destroy the enemy at close range, but with the development of firearms, crossbow arrows were gradually eliminated, and cavalry preferred to use handcuffs because they were lighter, more powerful, and less expensive. But this kind of weapon that was eliminated by the cavalry is very suitable for dealing with opponents like the Japanese who like to play with blades, so the maritime merchants purchase a large number of crossbow arrows, as for bows and arrows, only a few maritime merchants purchase, after all, there are still relatively few people who can shoot arrows and shoot accurately!

After temporarily solving the problem of the Japanese invaders, Zhu Yunwen's energy was more focused on internal affairs, and occasionally he would pay attention to the north, where there was the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Warat.

At this moment, the Mobei grassland is already completely the world of Warat, and the great leader of Warat, Ugqi, not only unified the headquarters of Warat, but also took the opportunity of the Ming army's sneak attack on Helin and the abduction of the Great Khan Elbok, and came to the Helin and Modong grassland as a savior, becoming the undisputed "king" of the grassland.

In order to reduce the resistance of the Mongol tribes in Modong, Ugqi's son Eseku married the only remaining bloodline of the Golden Family, the daughter of the Great Khan Erlebok, Samur, who is now the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and became the concubine of the Golden Family, and had the qualifications to command the Mongolian tribes, while Ugqi appointed himself as the Taishi and held great power.

But around July, Changshengtian appeared, was captured by the Ming army, and left Mongolia for more than ten years Dibaonu - the young son of the Mongolian Tianyuan Emperor Tugusi Timur miraculously returned to the grassland.

The appearance of the Dibao Nu immediately shook the grassland, and also rekindled the half-cooled blood of the old part of the Golden Family. Although they had lived a cautious life in the Ryukyus for more than a decade, they did not look like the Great Khan or even the Mongols, but they still strongly advocated the establishment of the Dibaonu as the new Great Khan. In their opinion, the return of the Earth Protector and the return of the bloodline of the Golden Family to the grassland are the favor of Changshengtian for Dayuan, which is ominous.

In the face of the Modong steppe tribe who was suddenly full of blood and courage, Taishi Wugeqi also had to obey the consensus and agreed to establish a slave as the Great Khan.

On August 7 of the seventh year of Jianwen, Dibaonu succeeded to the throne as the twentieth Mongolian Great Khan on the shore of Lake Bell, that is, the ancestral land of Mongolia.

In the jubilant and harmonious atmosphere of the grassland, but began to circulate a terrifying rumor, that is, the Ming army sneak attack on Helin, was pre-negotiated with the Taishi Ugqi, Ugqi increased troops to the east, Erlebok Khan had to transfer troops to resist, in this way, Helin became empty, giving the Ming army a chance to sneak attack, and finally the Ming army burned Helin, kidnapped Erlebok Khan, and Ugqi took the opportunity to annex the Golden Family's subordinate departments to achieve its goal of dominating the grassland.

In response to this rumor, the various departments of the grassland will be skeptical, and everyone has different opinions.

Some people think it's true, otherwise it can't explain why the luck of the Ming army was so good, and they arrived at Helin just when he was the emptiest?

Some people believe that it was the instigation of the Ming army, and the goal was to undermine the unity of Mongolia, and once there was a gap between Warat and Modong Mongolia and split, it would be greatly beneficial to the Ming army.

There are also people who believe that it is the trick of the new Great Khan to protect the slaves, in order to compete for power with the Taishi Ugqi, and there are not a few people who hold this view, they believe that the Great Khan has stayed in the Han land for more than ten years, learned the cunning and intrigue of the Han people, and no longer has the simplicity of the Mongols.

......

Lake Bell, North Shore.

Wang Xing, the national teacher of Wara, was already old, he sat in the car, his eyes were cloudy and looked south, his gaze seemed to pass through the clear, vast water of Bear Lake, and returned to the haunting Jiangnan water town.

"Sir, are you feeling better?"

A voice came from behind him, and then a stout man walked over, standing beside Wang Xing, it was the golden sword horse of the Golden Family, Eseku.

"It's okay," Wang Xing sighed slightly, and patted his chest lightly: "Eseku, have you arranged it over there?" ”

"Well, it's almost, it's basically arranged, and soon we'll set off for the west!"

"Well," Wang Xing patted the wheel lightly: "Come, sit with the old man!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Eseku sat down and looked at the lake quietly.

"Eseku, are you reluctant to leave here?"

"This," Eseku scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed, "I'm fine, but Samur is pregnant and doesn't want to travel far!" ”

"Hehe, cough, cough!"

Wang Xing smiled and was about to speak, but he was choked into his throat by a gust of wind, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

Seeing this, Eseku hurriedly reached out and patted Wang Xing's back, but Wang Xing's cough not only did not stop, but coughed even more violently.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Xing finally stopped coughing, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and the tears in the corners of his eyes, and gasped: "Eseku, twelve years ago, the old man escaped from Jiayuguan and fainted in the desert, you saved me!" ”

"Sir, what do you say about this?"

"Listen to me," Wang Xing waved his hand lightly: "The grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, and the old man has been in Wara for twelve years, and he has long regarded Warat as the old man's home, so the old man has a few heartfelt words, can you listen to it?" ”

"What's wrong with you, sir?" Eseku jumped out of the carriage: "Did I do something wrong?" ”

Looking at Eseku's eager eyes, Wang Xing smiled with relief, he gently stretched out his hand and grabbed Eseku's arm: "You are a good boy, generous, good at soothing soldiers, fair, and one of the best warriors on the grassland, so everyone in Warat regards you as the natural heir." ”

"The old man is very satisfied and happy about this!"

"But, but," Wang Xing hesitated for a moment before he said, "Eseku, you are too emotional, it is an advantage now, and it may be a disadvantage in the future." ”

"Take Samur as an example, she has given birth before, and she has always been in good health, but at this juncture, she says that she does not want to travel far, have you thought about why?"

"Why?"

"Have you ever thought about letting your father go first, and then you will take Samur away after she has given birth?"

"Hehe, sir, I can't hide anything from you!" Eseku scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"The old man can assert that as long as you stay, when the child is born, Samur will inevitably have a new reason for you to stay, and at that time, you will become a hostage in the hands of the land protectors, and the great chief will have to be a rat trap, or can only replace the heir of Warat, do you understand?"

"No," Eseku broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned pale, and he said sneeringly: "I'm not alone here, there will be Warat elite soldiers around me, and they don't dare." ”

"Hehe, they don't dare, but what about Samur? She's your pillow person! ”

“...... No," Eseku laughed dryly: "Sir said that we Mongolians, as long as a woman is married, she will stand on the side of her husband's family, even if she fights with her parents' tribe, she will not have two hearts!" ”

"Samur's husband's family, is that you?"

Wang Xing's words pierced Eseku's heart like a knife, his face immediately turned pale, his body shook, as if he couldn't stand steadily, he took two steps back before he stood dangerously, he looked at Wang Xing's old face, wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.

Seeing Eseku's expression, Wang Xing was a little unbearable, but he didn't say anything.

......

On September 13 of the seventh year of Jianwen, the Mongolian Taishi Ugqi suddenly led his army to the west, leaving the Modong grassland to the golden family.

Since then, the pastures of Warat and the Golden Family have been bounded by the forest.
