That afternoon, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi came to Du Guangting's camp. Li Delin sent someone to pass the news to Xuanfu, but he didn't want Sun Chengzong to return to the capital, so the messenger had to continue to run to the capital. After Sun Chengzong received the letter, he immediately entered the palace to face the saint, and Zhu Youxiao immediately gathered the cabinet members and the ministers in Beijing to discuss how to reply to Lin Dan Khan's request.

After Zhu Youxiao and others came to Qi, he said: "Everyone has read Li Delin's report just now, and it seems that Lin Dan Khan can't fight anymore, so he wants to ask for peace, and even wants to use the power of the Ming army to unify Mongolia." The unification of Mongolia is obviously impossible, but it is not a fig leaf that can be provided to Lin Dan Khan. Now let's talk about it. ”

Bi Ziyan spoke first: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear. Now that the Mongols are torn apart, why don't we beat the Mongols to death with a stick and take all their places, how simple it is? ”

Sun Chuanting raised his hand and said: "I can answer this matter, most of the areas occupied or inhabited by the Mongols are not suitable for cultivation for us Han people, and it is actually useless for us to occupy them, but the Mongols can graze here and produce cattle, sheep and horses." That's why we carried out Operation Han Wu to recover the Hetao area, which was suitable for farming. But it is obviously impossible to exterminate all the Mongols, and we cannot do it. ”

Bi Ziyan said: "Then we can also defeat Lin Dan Khan, preferably killing him, so that the scattered Mongols can not pose a threat to us." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Lin Dan Khan is now the nominal Mongol co-lord, and he is an extremely weak Mongol co-lord. Although most tribal leaders don't take him seriously, in the minds of ordinary Mongolians, his identity as the Mongolian co-leader and descendant of the Golden Family is still quite weighty. It would be easy to defeat him, of course, but there would inevitably be people among the Mongols who would compete for the position of Mongol co-ruler. And the person who competes for this position will definitely not be as easy to control as Lin Dan Khan, and maybe it will set off a war with Daming. We are not afraid of fighting the Mongols, but the Mongols are at least about the same ethnic group as us, and to the north of Mobei, there is an even more brutal and tyrannical country called the Rakshasa Kingdom. If we fight the Mongols and weaken the Mongols, we will give the country a chance to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, we must first stabilize the Mongols, and then face the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north. ”

Bi Ziyan looked at Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi said: "It's true, north of Mobei Mongolia, there is indeed a Rakshasa country, they are the same as the Buddha Robot, and the color of their eyes and hair is different from ours. And most importantly, according to the Franco, the Rakshasa people are cruel and cruel, and even in Europe, they are not liked by other countries. And they like to occupy land, and now some convenient land to the north of Xiaohai has been occupied by them. ”

Bi Ziyan said: "No wonder we want to build a railway to Xiaohai, it turns out that Your Majesty wants to fight against the Rakshasa Kingdom." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Yes, my least favorite country is this Rakshasa country, which is an aggressive country, whether it is their dynasty or ordinary people. More than thirty years ago, the Rakshasa annexed the Siberian Khanate in the north, which was located to the north of us, and split from the Mongol Golden Horde. Since Taizu defeated Meng Yuan, then of course all the things of Meng Yuan should belong to our Ming Dynasty, and I want to recapture these places, so that all places in our north up to the sea are Ming Ming. ”

Xu Guangqi glanced at the emperor, he didn't quite understand why the emperor had so much hatred for this Rakshasa country. Even if the Rakshasa State occupies the Siberian Khanate, it actually has little to do with the Ming Dynasty, and Taizu defeated Meng Yuan, then everything in the Meng Yuan should be the Ming Dynasty This sentence is actually nonsense, because Meng Yuan is actually just a part of the Mongols. But the will of the emperor is the will of the country, the emperor just wants to occupy more places, as a Ming person, of course, he will raise his hands in favor of this idea.

Zhu Youxiao has always regarded the Rakshasa country as China's biggest enemy, they seized China's land and killed China's border people, which can be called all kinds of evil, but there are many people who regard it as an "old friend" and can't wait to pounce on it and call their father. At the beginning, his brother Zhu Xiaotian hated the Rakshasa country deeply, thinking that as long as there was a slight possibility, China should wipe out this evil country. The current Rakshasa Kingdom is not as powerful as in later generations, and Zhu Youxiao believes that it should be weakened when he is not very strong, and it is best to destroy it.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhu Youxiao did not want to exterminate the Mongols, with the Mongols there, firstly, it can prevent the Mongols from rushing to join the Rakshasa country, and secondly, the Mongols can be the vanguard to deal with the legendary very powerful Cossack cavalry.

Since the emperor has made his meaning clear, of course the ministers will not object to this matter, the emperor will rob other people's land as the cultivation of barbarians, so that these Confucian disciples rush to this, there have been several officials invited to Luzon, Vietnam and other places to educate the local natives, in order to realize the sage said "Yi Di into China is China", in their opinion, how to rob a large area of land compared to the indoctrination of the barbarians, among them is the right of the capital of the imperial history Yan Mingtai.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally decided to send Lu Xiangsheng to negotiate with Lin Dan Khan, Lu Xiangsheng is now a military general, but everyone thinks that a Tanhua should of course be regarded as a civilian official, and everyone in the General Staff also thinks that it is a civilian organization, Lu Xiangsheng asked to go with Xiong Tingbi, because Xiong Tingbi has dealt with Houjin and Mongolia for many years, and knows what the Mongols think.

After Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi received the order, Lu Xiangsheng discussed with Xiong Tingbi: "Brother Zhigang, why don't you go to control Du Guangting first, and after you arrange things in the staff department first, then bring one or two staff officers to come again?" ”

Xiong Tingbi said angrily: "Xiaotian sees that I am old, although I am over sixty years old, I still ride a strong horse and drink strong wine, you don't have to take care of me." There is something in the staff that we need to worry about, and the little cubs are sorting out information and making deductions every day, and there is no need to rush at all. Someone went and called Bai Jiansen, and we could go with a few guards. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was helpless, he was worried that Xiong Tingbi was old, and it would be a little bad to run in a hurry on the road, he didn't want Xiong Tingbi to be old and strong, he was sixty-one this year, but he didn't want to hear people say that he was old, so he insisted on going at the same time.

So after calling Bai Jiansen, the three of them took the servants and headed north. Xiong Tingbi kept urging him to leave, and the group ran five hundred miles in one day and rushed to Du Guangting's military camp.
