"Brother Zhao, I can't hide it, I also doubted her identity, but since the other party has already found the door, my mother can't turn her away on the grounds that there is no jade pendant, in this case, don't people outside think that I am a heartless person?"

Li Hongyu keenly noticed the subtle changes in Zhao Xin's face, and knew that she must be very anxious now, and she didn't know how to expose the liar to herself, so she couldn't help but smile and said seriously, "My mother said, anyway, that girl looks pretty good, in order to avoid trouble, it is better to marry, but also a matter of heart." ”

"Aunt asked you to marry her?" Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, but she didn't expect that Li Hongyu marrying a wife was the meaning of the old lady Zhao.

"My mother said that my family affairs were decided by my father before he died, so I must marry a wife according to my father's wishes." Li Hongyu bowed slightly and replied quietly.

Zhao Xin felt that Li Hongyu was reasonable, it was not good for the Li family to refuse this fiancée who came to the door, otherwise Li Hongyu's reputation would be damaged, after all, the Li family had no evidence to prove that the other party was fake.

Moreover, if he refuses, Li Hongyu's father's wish will be frustrated, the marriage of children in ancient times paid attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, and he could not disobey the marriage set for him by Li Hongyu's father.

"Auntie, did you ever think that if that woman was impersonating, the consequences would be unimaginable."

But whether the other party is a counterfeit counterfeit, Zhao Xin was worried that it would be unfavorable to Li Hongyu, so he said to Li Hongyu with concern.

"My mother said that after getting married, let her stay in Xiangyang Mansion to accompany her, so that she won't cause any trouble." Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin looked concerned, so he smiled and said, putting on a look of disapproval.

"Will they be bad for my aunt?" Zhao Xin saw that Li Hongyu didn't seem to care about the fake fiancée, so he suddenly became anxious and asked in a coquettish voice.

God knows what purpose those people approached Li Hongyu, if they were greedy for money and pleasure, it would be okay to say, I am afraid that they have other unknown purposes.

"That's what you said."

Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin was acting a little out of shape and knew that she was really in a hurry, so he couldn't bear to tease anymore, and after hearing this, he bowed slightly, and said to Zhao Xin seriously, "Although there is an old saying that 'soldiers come to block, water comes to cover', but for the safety of my mother, I can't take risks, so it's better to send it to Shanghai County." ”

Zhao Xin saw that Li Hongyu began to pay attention to the fake woman, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but her heart was still hanging, and it was always a danger to place that kind of woman of unknown origin by Li Hongyu's side.

Therefore, Zhao Xin secretly made up her mind in her heart, she wanted to find a way to drive the imposter away, so that he would retreat in the face of difficulties, so as not to be detrimental to Li Hongyu and the Li family.

"By the way, how is the battle in the northwest?" Li Hongyu felt that the atmosphere in the room had become a little depressing with his family affairs, so he changed the topic again and asked Zhao Xin with a smile.

The "war situation in the northwest" in his mouth naturally refers to the situation of the Mongolian westward army with the Inner Khalkha tribe as the main force, and the tribesmen of the Inner Khalkha tribe have been moving westward with the westward army for the past two or three years, leaving the place where they used to live.

The Mongols have long lost their former glory, and can be divided into southern Mongolia, northern Mongolia and western Mongolia according to their geographical distribution.

Traditionally, the lords of Southern Mongolia were members of the Golden Family, descendants of Genghis Khan, while Western Mongolia was descendants of local nobles who had taken refuge in Genghis Khan.

In fact, the power struggle between the Mongolian golden family and the local nobles gradually became prominent after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, in the early Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes ruled by the descendants of the golden family were called Tatars, and the Mongolia ruled by the descendants of the local nobles was called Warat, and the battle of Tumubao was fought by the Warat people.

Compared with the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the cohesion between the Mongols became weaker and weaker, and both the Tatars and the Warats had formed a situation of secession between the tribes, and no one could unify the tribes.

In order to avoid the sharp edge of the Houjin people and plan for the future situation in the northwest, Li Hongyu hoped to control the right-wing tribes of Monan Mongolia and the Mongolian tribes of Moxi.

Therefore, Li Hongyu persuaded Lin Dan Khan to carry out a westward expedition under the banner of restoring the former prestige of the Mongol Empire, in fact, he wanted to seize the territory of the right wing of Southern Mongolia and Western Mongolia through the close Inner Khalkha Department.

Unlike Moxi Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia, Monan Mongolia is divided into left-wing and right-wing tribes from east to west, which is related to Dayan Khan of Mongolia.

Dayan Khan once unified the various tribes in eastern Mongolia and re-established the feudal order, dividing a total of 60,000 households, 30,000 on the left and 30,000 on the right.

Over time, the left-wing and right-wing tribes of Mongol were formed, and the relationship between the right-wing tribes and the Ming Dynasty was closer than that of Lin Dan Khan's left-wing tribes.

In the fifth year of Longqing, the Ming court named Altan Khan, the right-wing Tumut of Southern Mongolia, as the king of Shunyi, and granted many lords of the right-wing tribes of Southern Mongolia to official positions, while the left wing of Southern Mongolia has always been in opposition to the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dan Khan had the opportunity to revive the Mongol Khanate, and he had even brought the right-wing tribes, which did not have a good relationship with the left-wing tribes of Monan, into submission, and received the support of Mobei Mongols.

Unfortunately, Lin Dan Khan later failed to achieve the unification of Mongolia due to religious issues, and the Mobei Mongol tribes and the Mongol right-wing tribes that originally supported him, plus some other factors, and finally failed to achieve the unification of Mongolia, which in turn also contributed to the rise of the Later Jin.

Just imagine, if Lin Dan Khan unified Mongolia, even if it unified Monan, then the Houjin, which was sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, especially the Houjin, which had many conflicts of interest with Mongolia, would not be able to show it anyway, and the Mongols would not sit idly by and watch it rise, but would only squeeze and enslave it, so that the Houjin would have no time to deal with the Ming.

The three largest tribes of the right-wing tribes of Mongol in southern Mongolia were the Tumut tribe, the Ordos tribe and the Yongshebu tribe, and Li Hongyu adopted the policy of killing chickens and monkeys, vigorously co-opting the Tumut tribe that was friendly to the Ming Dynasty, and then united with the Tumut tribe in the name of Lin Dan Khan to carry out military strikes on the Ordos and Yongshebu tribes.

Among the right-wing tribes of Monan, the Tumut tribe is the most powerful one, and the "Naturalization City" built by it is the political, economic and religious center of the Mongol tribes in Monan.

The reason why the Tumut Department did not resist the Western Expeditionary Army, in addition to the military pressure, there are also its internal factors, the internal stability of the Tumut Department, the forces of the two factions are fighting very fiercely, and the two sides are inseparable from each other, and there is no way to resist the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army and the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army.

According to the agreement between Li Hongyu and Lin Dan Khan, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty would cooperate with the Mongol army to attack the Mongol right-wing tribes in Monan, which made it difficult for the right-wing tribes in Monan to resist the combined forces of the two.

Up to now, the Western Expeditionary Forces of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have captured most of the territory of the right wing of Mongol in Monan, and by the fourth year of the Apocalypse, they will control the entire right wing of Mongol in Monan.

"Brother Li, Lin Dan Khan's hand is now stretching out longer and longer, and he has bypassed the Western Expeditionary Army several times to directly appoint officials in the right wing of Monan, which makes the generals of the Nekhalkha and Tumut departments very dissatisfied, and the relationship between the two sides has become a little tense."

Hearing Li Hongyu mention the war in the southwest, Zhao Xin smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it won't be long before the Khalkha and other departments will part ways with Lin Dan Khan!" ”

The main force of the Mongol expedition to the west was the Inner Khalkha Division, so according to the rules of the steppe, the Nekharka generals should get the most abundant spoils, but Lin Dan Khan gave the greatest benefit to the Chahar generals who coordinated the battle.

In the Mongol expedition to the west, the Chahar tribe not only had a few thousand troops, but also hid behind to preserve their strength during the war, and the reason why they were able to get the most lucrative booty was naturally because they were a tribe under the control of Lin Dan Khan.

This is bound to make the generals of the Inner Khalkha Department and the Tumut Department dissatisfied, and Lin Dan Khan's main purpose is to pacify the left-wing tribes of Southern Mongolia, and there is no extra energy and strength to control the Western Expeditionary Army, so it is only a matter of time before the two sides turn against each other.

Anyway, the Inner Khalkha Department has now migrated to the territory of the right-wing tribes, and it is difficult for Lin Dan Khan to control it anymore, and the Inner Khalkha Department, which has grown in strength through the western expedition, no longer needs to look at Lin Dan Khan's face and act.

"If the right wing of Mo Nan is pacified next year, the next year will be able to launch an offensive against Mo Western Mongolia, and Lin Dan Khan should not turn against the Inner Khalkha Department and Tumut and other departments at that time."

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile after listening to Zhao Xin's words, a relaxed look appeared on his face, this was the best news he had gotten so far.

Because Li Hongyu was far away from the Western Expeditionary Army, and he was busy with the Customs Department and overseas trade, Zhao Xin was the actual decision-maker of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty, and he remotely controlled the war of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Hongyu believed in Zhao Xin the most, although Zhao Xin's military talent was not as good as him, but he knew his plans for the Mongolian tribes, so Li Hongyu asked Zhao Xin to help him with this, except for Zhao Xin, he really couldn't think of a second person.

"Brother Li, you have really paid too much for the Western Expeditionary Army, no wonder the generals who command the army are in awe of you."

Seeing that Li Hongyu's expression was relaxed, Zhao Xin's mood also became relaxed, and she said to Li Hongyu with a smile that she could clearly feel the awe and worship of Li Hongyu in the two years she had dealt with the Western Expeditionary Army.

If the Wanli Emperor can still command the Western Expeditionary Army, then Zhao Xin believes that without Li Hongyu's order now, it will be difficult for the young Emperor of the Apocalypse to mobilize the Western Expeditionary Army.

The Western Expeditionary Army not only established a completely new military and personnel system, but also had a close relationship with Li Hongyu both generals and soldiers, especially those non-commissioned officers who led the troops, and even regarded Li Hongyu as a horse.

In addition, the military salary of the Western Expeditionary Army was raised by Li Hongyu and guaranteed first, although it was released under the banner of the emperor, but the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army knew what was going on, otherwise Li Hongyu would not have gone to the Customs Department to make money.

Zhao Xin admires Li Hongyu very much, she knows very well that the military expenditure of 20,000 Western Expeditionary Army is not a small amount, plus the cost of the sailor soldiers and the new forbidden army formed in the capital, I am afraid that no one can do this except Li Hongyu.

"Serving the country and being loyal to the king, I just did my duty."

After listening to Zhao Xin's praise, Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and replied disappreciatively, if he can't even control the Western Expeditionary Army he formed, then how can he deal with the upcoming troubled times?
