Man Gui won a complete victory with a sneak attack on Shuolei, Shuolei was killed on the spot, only more than 3,000 people escaped from the 20,000 army, more than 10,000 were captured, and the rest were killed on the spot.

When they learned the news of Mangui's sneak attack, the 60,000 Chechen troops stationed in Kuku Cherbo were suddenly in disarray. At this moment, their situation became very dangerous, Zu Dashou's 30,000 army was only fifty miles away from them, and behind them was Mangui's army. As a result, Chechnya's 60,000-strong army could not advance or retreat.

After Zu Dashou learned the news of the success of Mangui's sneak attack, he led the army to advance again thirty miles on the second day, and the purpose of his march this time was not to fight the Chechen army, but to oppress the Chechen army and force them to surrender.

After the two armies held each other in close proximity for a day, Zu Dashou sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender. The persuasion went very smoothly, and two days later, all 60,000 Chechen troops surrendered.

The Ming army completely eliminated the Khalkha Mongols in a battle, and Zasaktu Khan Suba led the entire tribe to move westward and entered the territory of Gushi Khan Tulubaihu. Historically, Tulu Baihu was to enter Tibet in 1641, but now Suba's westward migration has forced Gushi Khan to turn around and deal with Suba's westward migration.

However, the Twenty Years of the Apocalypse also hurt the vitality of the Empire, making it impossible for the Empire to launch large-scale battles for the time being.

"I have decided to set up a political envoy for Outer Mongolia in Khalkha Mongolia and implement the land reform and return to Outer Mongolia according to the model of Inner Mongolia Province, and the cabinet will come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The minister thinks that it is better to merge Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia into one domain, Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia are both located in a wild and sparsely populated place, and it is better to merge them into one domain, so that it can not only save the expenses of the imperial court, but also facilitate management." Sun Chengzong suggested.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Since the large-scale application of the Apocalypse Gun, the nomads in the north are no longer enough to threaten the empire, and once the smokeless gunpowder trial is successful, it will completely end the threat of the nomads to the Central Plains. As for how to govern the nomads in the north, Zhu Youxiao has done everything he can do, and the rest can only rely on the people of the imperial court.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" The cabinet agreed.

"Since this is the case, we will deal with it according to our master's opinion, but the establishment of prefectures, prefectures, and counties must be cautious, and we must not act hastily." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"How's the relief going?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It's ongoing, but this disaster relief is over, almost seventy percent of the food reserves of the empire have been consumed, and the disaster situation in various places this year is serious, and the grain reserve will be an extremely serious problem." Bi Ziyan replied.

"What about the price of food?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Although the imperial court mobilized a large amount of grain to the disaster area to stabilize grain prices, grain prices still rose by 30% compared with last year, and the minister expects grain prices to rise." Bi Ziyan replied.

"I'm going to build another gallop from Jingshi to Kulun." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, the treasury has no money to build the road at the moment, unless it is appropriated from the treasury." Bi Ziyan said.

"I not only want to work for relief, but also want to immigrate them to Kulun and other places, and the people who built the Chidao this time I want to keep them in Outer Mongolia, although Outer Mongolia is extremely barren, but if the land is properly cultivated, there can still be access to hundreds of thousands of hectares of land." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhu Youxiao has always wondered why the Han people have survived so many disasters and still stand? Zhu Youxiao felt that one of the most powerful places of the Han people was the ability to plant, Zhu Youxiao had personally seen people plant crops in the cracks of the stones, although such a planting environment could only barely make a living, but it ensured the continuation of the bloodline.

"The minister seconded the proposal, as Your Majesty said, that immigration would not only alleviate the disaster of the empire, but also bring the new territory to its heart." Wen Tiren agreed.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with the funds that just built the Chi Road?" Bi Ziyan asked.

"In the early stage, I allocated another one million taels of silver from the internal treasury to support the construction of this gallop road, and if the funds are not enough in the later stage, how about the imperial court solve it by itself?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"In this case, there should be no problem, the summer grain is about to go on the market, and after the purchase of summer grain is completed, the imperial court should have the money to build the Chi Road." Bi Ziyan said.

"Next March is the time to vote for the Cabinet, and you should think about who will be in the next Cabinet, and the rules will remain the same as last time." Zhu Youxiao reminded.

"No."

……

The severity of the disaster in the empire has affected the entire empire. In the palace, Zhang Yan even launched a thrifty campaign.

"Baozhu, there is nothing wrong with being thrifty in the palace, but I think you should go out for a walk, and sometimes, you find that you go out for a walk and are more useful than your thrift in the palace." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Why? The concubine didn't understand very well. Zhang Yan said.

"Disaster relief should be divided into two parts, one is to save himself, that is, the court to carry out disaster relief, and the other is to save himself, but also to save himself, in the early stage he is relatively important, but in the later stage of self-help is relatively important." Zhu Youxiao said.

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "The concubine understands this. ”

"And disaster relief is like a war, in war, morale is the most important, and in disaster relief, hope is the most important, in the face of the disaster itself some people could have lived, but lack the hope of living, they die in the disaster. Have you thought about it? What would happen if you and I were in the disaster area right now? Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zhang Yan thought about Zhu Youxiao's words and said: "This must be an extremely exciting thing, the people in the disaster area will also think that the imperial court will never abandon them, and they will also have hope of survival, and at this time, the people will definitely support Your Majesty and the imperial court even more." ”

"The people of the empire are the most simple people, and when you are kind to them, they will definitely be doubly good to you, so have you ever wanted to go to the disaster area to take a look?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Then the concubine will accompany Your Majesty to the disaster area." Zhang Yan nodded.

"I am extremely opposed to the emperor sitting in the palace and not going out, sitting in the palace will be completely out of touch with the people below, and it is impossible to understand the suffering of the people, how can such an emperor's decision be right? Therefore, it is absolutely right to go to the disaster area and go to the place for a walk, but the travel must be simple, otherwise, it will be a matter of labor and money. Zhu Youxiao said.
