"Your Majesty, the existence of the Kong family does not have any impact on the empire, and Your Majesty needs to be cautious in this matter." Sun Chengzong persuaded him.

"Don't discuss this matter, I have decided to set up the Qinghai Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and I am going to place it in Xining, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"What is the purpose of Your Majesty's establishment of the Qinghai Domain?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"For the sake of the West, Gushi Khan and Zangba Khan are inseparable from each other for a while, but for the empire, it is a rare and good opportunity, I control Qinghai, and I can enter the West at any time and control the overall situation." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Pastla is a piece of chicken ribs, and it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless." Sun Chengzong said.

"I don't think so, the geographical location of Xifan is extremely important, you can enter the territory of the Mughal Dynasty by going south, and at the same time, Xifan is like a barrier, which can also prevent the Mughal Dynasty from entering the empire, so Xifan must be controlled by the empire." Zhu Youxiao explained.

"The minister doesn't know much about the Mughal dynasty and can't comment." Sun Chengzong said frankly.

"The Mughal dynasty was an extremely wealthy and powerful state, but it did not pose a threat to the empire for the time being." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, there are already quite a few enemies of the Empire." Sun Chengzong said.

"I understand that the main purpose of controlling Zephan is to guard against the Mughals." Zhu Youxiao explained, "In addition, I am preparing to move the Xi'an Governor's Mansion to Lanzhou, and change the Xi'an Governor's Mansion to the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion to deal with the Oirat Mongols in the west. ”

"Sooner or later, Oirat Mongolia will become a big problem for the empire, and Your Majesty's move will definitely be approved of by the minister." Sun Chengzong said.

……

Zhang Guoji did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately passed Zhu Youxiao's dictation to the ears of the businessmen, and Zhang Guoji, Jiang Yan and other big businessmen first announced their support for Zhu Youxiao's decision. But most of the businessmen are still waiting, and they believe that Zhu Youxiao will not be held accountable to the public.

However, after Zhang Pu and several others were beheaded by Zhu Youxiao for public display, the businessmen realized that Zhu Youxiao was by no means a joke, and at the same time, the Jingshi Imperial Forest Army went to a place in the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the merchant's strike.

"I heard that Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society yesterday, was beheaded by Jinyiwei, I don't know if it's true or not?"

"This matter is true, Zhang Pu is not the only one who has been beheaded, there are more than a dozen people who have been beheaded at the same time, and there are even more people who have been raided, it is said that thousands of people will be exiled to Leng Zhou this time."

"Even Zhang Pu said that he would kill him, it seems that His Majesty is serious this time."

"But no, Your Majesty sent 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, just to suppress the strike, the announcement of the Yamen said that on the day of the arrival of the Royal Forest Army, if the market has not been restored, they will be killed."

"Alas, my arms can't twist my thighs!"

"Otherwise, don't do this business at all, whoever wants to do it will do it, I don't believe that I won't do business anymore, and what can the court do to me."

"What to eat if you don't do business, the business tax has increased, doing business is just to make a little less, if you don't do business, you won't make a penny, do you want to sit and eat nothing?"

"Alas, the imperial court won this time, and the business will be even more difficult in the future!"

……

The merchants' strike quickly ended under Zhu Youxiao's threats and suppression, and the market resumed in various parts of Jiangnan. But the strike has also had an impact on Jiangnan's economy. But the strike was short-lived, and Jiangnan's economy soon recovered.

In July, Zhu Youxiao issued an order abolishing half a tael of silver dollars, one silver dollar, and one copper dollar, and stipulated that after three years, these three types of money were no longer allowed to circulate, and were replaced by five types of treasure banknotes, including 500 yuan, 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, and 10 yuan.

Namu Zhong was also the first to arrive in Jingshi at this time, accompanied by Lin Dan Khan's daughter Shuqi. As soon as Namu Zhong arrived in Kyoshi, he was immediately sent to the Imperial Palace.

"Concubine, Borzigit Namu Zhong has seen the emperor!" Namu Zhong said.

"Flat." Zhu Youxiao said, "This is Lin Dan Khan and your daughter Shuqi." ”

"Exactly." Namu Bell replied.

"Although Lin Dan Khan is my main opponent, since he has died of illness, then all grievances should also be over, I have decided to make Shuqi the lord of Xining, and you will personally raise it, can you?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Namu Zhong pulled Shuqi, the county lord of Xining, and thanked him together.

……

A month later, Su Tai and Ezhe also arrived in Jingshi, accompanied by Orzhetu Fujin, Tesna Birch Fujin, and Lin Dan Khan's sister Tai Song Gege, and all the 1,000 herdsmen who followed them were arranged to the Great Caotan in Qinghai.

Ezhe was named the king of the north and participated in the deliberations of the House of Nobles. However, Su Tai, Orzhetu, and Tesna were included in the harem together at the suggestion of the cabinet. The successful marriage to Namu Zhong led the cabinet to see another way to deal with the problem, and the three men were from different northern tribes.

Sutai, Yehenara clan, descendants of the Haixi Jurchens, and the four tribes of the Haixi Jurchens all died at the hands of Nurhachi. Orzhetu, Nala, Chinese translation is Nalan. Tesna, from the Chahar tribe of Mongolia, was called the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the tribe of Lin Dan Khan. Su Tai was named a concubine by Zhu Youxiao, and the other two were named concubines by Zhu Youxiao.

However, Tai Song Gege was married to Zhu Youzhen by Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao's political marriage married four in one go, Zhu Youxiao felt that Zhu Youzhen should also marry one for Daming, and finally decided to marry Tai Song Gege to Zhu Youzhen.

At this point, Zhu Youxiao is only one step away from completely controlling Monan Mongolia, that is, he was supported as a khan by the tribes of Monan Mongolia, although the tribes of Monan Mongolia have been fragmented by Zhu Youxiao, but at this time the Ming Dynasty has just owned Monan Mongolia, and Zhu Youxiao also needs a nominal ruling title, if it is after thirty or fifty years, it doesn't matter if there is a title or not, but at this time, having this title is completely different from not having a title.

At the behest of Zhu Youxiao, the leaders of the Mongol tribes in Monan, led by Ezhe, began to go to Beijing to prepare to support Zhu Youxiao as the new Great Khan of Mongolia.

Although the soldiers took down the Han without blood, the war against the Donghu Dynasty was a real sword. In order to deal with the southern expedition of the Ming Dynasty, King Talong made full preparations, and when the Ming Dynasty transferred troops, King Talong raised 200,000 troops in the country.

In this battle, Zhu Youxiao allowed merchants to go with the army for the first time, but there were also restrictions on the merchants who went with the army, and Zhu Youxiao only allowed Xu Xinsu, a slave trader and a merchant of the Royal Shipping Company, to go with the army.
