Zhu Youzhen actually didn't want to play this kind of trick, as a traverser who understands the history of artillery development, he is very clear about the prospects of artillery on the future battlefield. But he also knows very well that the leap from solid bullet to * is not something that can be achieved overnight in a short period of time.

That is, the period of the use of solid shells in artillery will be quite long. Now Wednesday Wei used a false method, so that these Mongols were shocked by the power of the new artillery of the Ming army, and made them afraid of the Ming artillery.

However, if the Ming army used artillery on the battlefield in the future, but the power was not as strong as today, some people might despise the power of the Ming army's artillery, and thus produce a fluke mentality. Therefore, for this kind of scam that cannot last long, Zhu Youzhen does not want to use it.

But now that he had taken the form of cutting first and then playing in front of the leaders of the Mongolian tribes and the ordinary herdsmen who participated in the Naadam conference, he did not want to expose his shortcomings, so he could only cover up the matter.

After the artillery exercise ended, Zhu Youzhen beckoned the leaders to get off the city wall, and Zhuo Erbi, who had recovered from the shock, hurried to the emperor's side, and complimented Chongzhen with a smile on his face: "The minister wants to congratulate Your Majesty, with such a batch of artifacts, what kind of army in the world can resist." ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed a few times, and then raised his voice a little and said: "The soldier's murder weapon is also a last resort. In my opinion, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it cannot compare to your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, artillery is a dead thing, and only people are the most precious. If there were no tribes on the grassland that were loyal to our country, would this grassland still be the land of my Ming Dynasty? Alright, let's go watch the warriors continue to play, and when today's meeting is over, I'm going to invite you to drink. ”

The emperor's words finally reassured the tribal leaders who had watched the artillery shooting, and also made many leaders rejoice, they chose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty instead of following the Houjin to the northeast, which seemed to be indeed a correct choice.

In the center of the castle, which was named Chengde Castle, is the official office where the officers such as Wednesday are located, and although the entire building has not yet been completed, the main building can still be used. The Frontier Fortress, the building of this official office is naturally in a sturdy and simple style.

However, after the arrival of Chongzhen, it has now become Chongzhen's temporary palace. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the lobby and courtyard of the government office were full of tables and chairs.

More than 600 people, including the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, the officers of the Ming army, and the winners of the congress in the past few days, entered their seats under the guidance of the emperor's guards.

The feast is mainly based on the diet of the grassland, except for a large amount of wine from the mainland, the other food is purchased locally, mostly meat and milk.

Hai Lanzhu commanded the ladies of the various tribes attending the meeting, making food for the huge feast, and directing the distribution of food. One after another delicacies were delivered to everyone like flowing water, so that everyone feasted.

Sitting in the main hall of the official office were the generals around Taiji and Chongzhen of the major tribes, and unlike the guests who opened their mouths and chewed outside, the people sitting in the main hall were much more elegant.

However, under Chongzhen's constant persuasion, the drinks drunk by everyone in the hall were not much less than those outside. The feast began when the sun was setting in the west, and continued until the whale candles were lit in the hall. Seeing that everyone's faces were colored, the food on the table was almost gone.

Zhu Youzhen picked up a chopstick and gently tapped the copper basin in front of him. The crisp sound soon reached everyone's ears, and the people who were still chatting with each other on the left and right quieted down and turned their heads to look at the top of the hall.

Zhu Youzhen raised the wine glass in front of him with drunken eyes and said: "Since I left the customs this time, I have seen the scenery outside the customs and seen the warriors of various Mongolian tribes, which can be described as a worthwhile trip.

Outside the pass is the scenery is magnificent, the sky is high and the sea is wide, it is not similar to the scenery inside the pass, it is really a great river and mountain. These days, I have also seen the heroes and warriors of various departments, who are tall and mighty, and can be called the pillars of the country.

I once heard a poem in which the child was determined to go out of the country, but he vowed not to return if he could not become famous. Why bury bones, there are green mountains everywhere in life. There are also sages in the grassland who said that horses should gallop in the grassland, and eagles should fly above the blue sky.

Therefore, I plan to set up a cowardly Xue Wei to recruit young people from various tribes to serve the country, and let them soar into the wider sky. Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to dedicate the children of your clan to me and make them my wings? ”

The Mongolian taiji in the hall looked at Chongzhen with a flushed face, the alcohol had made their brains a little dull, and they didn't think about how to answer the emperor's reply for a while.

Zhuo Erbi, who was sitting in the first place on the emperor's right hand, had quickly gotten up and walked to the middle of the hall, knelt down on one knee to the emperor and said: "Chen Zhuo Erbi is willing to bring his own people to serve His Majesty, and His Majesty will let the minister go to the water, and the minister will go to the water; Your Majesty asked the minister to go to the fire, and the minister went to the fire. The place where His Majesty's horsewhip is pointed is the direction in which the minister is fighting forward..."

Just when Zhuo Erbi swore allegiance to Chongzhen, more than ten Taiji finally reacted, walked behind Zhuo Erbi, and began to swear to Chongzhen.

When the remaining Taiji were still hesitating, there were suddenly non-stop shouts from outside the hall, "Long live", "Long live Your Majesty", "Long live the cowardly Xue Wei", "...".

The remaining Taiji in the hall immediately woke up and hurriedly joined the ranks of swearing to Chongzhen. After witnessing the power of the Ming army's artillery in the morning, and the personnel of these small tribes outside began to swear allegiance to the emperor, these Taiji immediately lost the last trace of hesitation in their hearts.

Listening to the voices of the Mongolians inside and outside the hall swearing to themselves loudly, Zhu Youzhen did not look very proud. Because he knew that although the Mongols were known for their integrity, for the upper taiji and chieftains, maintaining the survival of the tribe was the first priority.

Although in the past two years, he has been courting the Mongol tribes in southern China near the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but this kind of subordinate relationship based on economic interests is not as solid as it seems.

Lin Dan Khan's political appeal to these Mongol tribes, the threat of the Later Jin to the Mongol tribes by force, and the cultural and customary co-optation of the Mongol tribes were not much worse than the lure of the economic interests of the Ming Dynasty.

In the current situation, he also needs to use political and military connections to tie these Mongolian tribes tightly together with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen listened to the oath of the Mongols while repeatedly thinking about his next plan in his heart.

When these Mongols stopped swearing and fixed their eyes on him, Zhu Youzhen continued to speak: "Zhuo Erbi, you are the first commander of the cowardly Xue Wei, you selected young people from various departments to join the cowardly Xue Wei for me, and the 10 winners of Naadam this time were all awarded the position of cowardly Xue Wei hundred households. Naadam has been held for so long, have all the Mongolian tribes on this steppe arrived? ”

Zhuo Erbi replied without thinking: "Back to Your Majesty, north of the Laoha River, in the upper reaches of the Daling River, Longshan and other places, there are still seven or eight tribes such as Weng Niute who have not accepted Your Majesty's orders and come to participate in the conference. ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately put down his wine glass with some displeasure and said, "They don't accept my orders, why?" ”

Zhuo Erbi said cautiously: "Several tribes say that they have sworn allegiance to the Later Jin Khan and can no longer obey His Majesty's orders. A few tribes said that the season was not right and they did not want to come..."

Zhu Youzhen frowned and said coldly: "I heard that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Do they think that with Houjin's backing, they can defy my orders? ”

Yasun, a Jurchen who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately got up and said after seeing Chongzhen's dissatisfaction: "In the past, my Ming Emperor issued an edict to the old Khan, and the old Khan still had to bow and worship before he dared to raise his head to receive the edict.

A few small clans in the mountains and wilderness dare not come when they are summoned by His Majesty, this is contempt for Your Majesty and despise my Ming Dynasty. When the monarch's father is humiliated, how can the courtiers be indifferent.

He begged His Majesty to allow him to lead his troops to fight against these tribes who did not know whether they were alive or dead, and to capture those rude people before His Majesty for questioning. ”

Yasun's first precedent immediately unraveled the prelude to everyone's request for battle. Jurchens such as Du Du and Ashan, Ming generals such as Wu Huai and Zhou Wei, and Mongolian Taiji such as Zhuo Erbi all bowed down to the emperor one after another, saying that they would crusade against those tribes who did not submit for the emperor.

After Zhu Youzhen saw that all the Mongolian Taiji had joined the ranks of the battle, he softened his face a little and said: "All the gentlemen get up, I will record the loyalty of all the gentlemen to me."

However, whether I went out of the customs this time, or convened all the ministries to participate in Naadam, I actually really wanted to see the lives of the subjects on the grassland, and I wanted you to share the benefits brought by the development of the Ming Dynasty just like the Han people in the mainland.

Although these tribes have humiliated me, I can give them one last chance when it comes to your tribe's loyalty to me.

Is any of you willing to go to these tribes to make a declaration on my behalf? Tell them that I am willing to forgive them for their rudeness, but that they need to come to Chengde City immediately and plead with me. ”

The emperor's questioning made the Taiji hesitate for only a moment, and five or six people took the initiative to stand up and express their willingness to persuade these tribes to submit for the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen brushed down Zhuo Erbi and others, leaving only 3 people as envoys. The Emperor sent them to prepare for their departure, and then said, "I have heard that the spring rain nourishes all things, but it also needs thunder to remove the evil qi of the world, so that all things can be revived and grow.

Although I am willing to give these tribes a chance, I will not accept another humiliation. Zhuo Erbi, in the remaining 4 days of the Naadam Conference, you have to build the framework of the cowardly Xue Wei for me.

If they are not willing to accept my kindness, then they will take my thunderous wrath..."
