When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked Hai Lanzhu: "Among the Mongolian tribes, are there any tribes that have not arrived?" ”

"No, it looks like it's all here!" Hai Lanzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Probably because Huang Taiji's meaning this time is too harsh, no tribe dares to bear the danger of extermination, and they are all here in the end." Your Majesty, think about it, there is no city like your Ming Kingdom on the grassland to defend, and in this winter, it is not convenient to move, isn't it? ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it and thought about it in his heart, as far as the current Mongolian tribes are concerned, it seems that they really can't see the external strength and middle cadres of Jianyu. In this way, they do not dare to disobey Jianlu, or they think that they will eventually reap the benefits by listening to Jianlu.

Hehe, since this is the case, then I should also teach these people a lesson, so that they can understand that it will be sad to offend Ming Guo. Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he asked Hai Lanzhu again: "I want to know, what is the specific situation of those tribes?" ”

"Oh, please wait a moment, Your Majesty, I'll go and ask my forehead." When Hai Lanzhu heard this, she couldn't answer in detail, so she went to ask Buhe first.

At the same time, in Ningyuan, Sun Chengzong listened to the cold wind howling outside, thinking that Jianyu braved such a cold expedition, he couldn't help but feel a lot better, he smiled and said to Zuo Yingxuan: "Speaking of which, our Ningjin army has a lot better this year, in this winter, you can hide in the house to avoid the cold, and you can eat a full meal every day, you have a lot of credit!" ”

This year, Jianyu almost never came to Ningjin, and all of them were running around in Liaodong and North Korea, exhausted. Sun Chengzong is also a little leisurely, and the pressure on his body is much lighter. Therefore, he often asked Zuo Yingxuan to come over to drink tea and chat with him, and his life was comfortable.

Zuo Yingxuan heard Sun Chengzong praise him again, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and hurriedly said modestly: "The elder of the pavilion is serious, this is all Your Majesty's strategy, so that Jianyu has no time to take care of us Ning Jin." Only then could the lower officials arrange for people to grab and plant a season of grain. It was His Majesty's timely notification that the grain would be harvested before Jianyu took revenge on us Guanning. ”

At the beginning, the Guanning cavalry also participated in the operation to destroy the grain in Liaodong, and on his own side, Zuo Yingxuan led people to harvest the grain they planted, whether it was ripe or not, when the operation was about to end. Later, a large number of Jianyu scouts came to Ningjin and found that there was nothing in the field, so they left disappointed.

Sun Chengzong listened to his words, nodded and said, "Your Majesty's merits don't need to be said." But you're also doing a good job of preparing for the war, you don't need to be modest about this, the old man sees it in his eyes! ”

Saying this, he also had to admire the emperor. Zuo Yingxuan is just a person, because of the merit of Shouchang Li, the emperor has a discerning eye, and he is promoted beyond the ranks, but he has done a lot of good work in the logistics and military discipline of the Guanning Army. Among them, Sun Chengzong can also see that Zuo Yingxuan is talented, but his enthusiasm is also very high, I am afraid that he will repay his kindness and repay the emperor with twelve points of hard work!

He was thinking about it, when suddenly a personal guard came in and said, "Kong Youde and the others who have been ordered by the elder are already waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned!" ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately remembered the emperor's order, so he immediately asked people to bring Kong Youde and others in, and at the same time asked the surrounding people to retreat, leaving only him and Zuo Yingxuan.

After a while, the five northeastern men were brought by the guards, and Kong Youde, who was the leader, presented a letter with both hands, and said at the same time: "This is the letter of the patriarch of the Horqin clan, and I want the villain to present it to the elder of the pavilion with his own hands!" ”

Sun Chengzong already knew, so he personally stepped forward to take the letter, and under the gaze of Kong Youde and others, when he opened the letter, two letters fell out, and after a little inspection, he looked at one of the letters addressed to him.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he couldn't help but be taken aback at first glance, and then a hint of amusement appeared on his face, so that the few people in the hall who watched him read the letter looked at each other, not knowing what was written in the letter.

I saw that after Sun Chengzong read the letter, he had a smile on his face, and he didn't look at another letter, looked up at Kong Youde and the others, and began to ask them a lot of questions about the Horqin tribe.

Kong Youde and the others would not hide it, so after they were injured, they were escorted by Hai Lanzhu until they recovered from their injuries and came back, basically everything in the Horqin clan was said by you, and I made it clear.

After listening, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "You go down to rest first, and after the spring next year, you can return to Lu Zhongcheng!" ”

Kong Youde and the five of them are now considered to be members of the hussar battalion, so Sun Chengzong has this to say. He asked the Korqin people who were escorting them back again, and after knowing that they were still waiting outside, he asked Kong Youde and them to go down.

As soon as they left, Sun Chengzong gave the letter to Zuo Yingxuan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is peach blossom luck, and others regard marrying a daughter as one of the conditions." But it's not surprising to think about it, only in this way can that Buhe be truly at ease! ”

Zuo Yingxuan was a little confused when he heard it, and hurriedly unfolded the letter and read it. After reading it, he laughed too. However, the smile immediately disappeared, and I saw him say solemnly: "Pavilion Elder, the lower officials think that with this example, the Mongolian tribes will rest assured." This is a good thing, and it is the most beneficial to my Ming Dynasty. It should be written to the emperor and explain the powerful relationship! ”

"Hehe, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, and he is not bad for a Mongolian woman!" Sun Chengzong stroked his white beard with a smile, nodded and said, "Even if this Hai Lanzhu is an ugly and old woman, the old man must let the emperor marry her." However, the old man heard that this Hailanzhu is the pearl of the grassland. Nabu and never married her off, but also in the guise of being a strange thing! Now that I think about it, I really made him wait for the opportunity to marry his daughter to the most suitable person! ”

Liu Wang, the invisible man on the side, listened to them talking, and immediately remembered that Hai Lanzhu was not in the group!

He was thinking about it, and suddenly received a private chat from Emperor Chongzhen. So, she immediately interrupted the two old men who were talking about sexuality, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty has a decree to order the Guanning cavalry to assemble ......."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, the old man knows, who His Majesty should be, this is also a big gift to me!" Bu and the old horseman also calculated that my old man would definitely help him sell his daughter, ahaha......"

Zuo Yingxuan listened to it and laughed along. For such a political marriage, for them literati, it should not be too normal. As long as it is good for Daming, it is ten or eight more, and it can be put in the palace anyway!

So, Sun Chengzong began to arrange things, and Emperor Chongzhen, who was still in the dark, did not take long to receive important information from Hai Lanzhu.
