The rewards for the meritorious soldiers of Liaozhen and Rehe Town not only made the people who received the rewards cheer, but also made other border town soldiers who had no merit envious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition, at this time, the first year of Chongzhen's military salary given to the nine sides has been fully distributed, and all of a sudden, the spirit of the nine sides of the army is cohesive, the morale is soaring, and the desire to fight is becoming more and more urgent.

The reward for the recent meritorious soldiers is easy to do, and the current Emperor Chongzhen is not as financially embarrassed as in history, and the land that was rewarded was not originally controlled by himself.

However, for Niu Juming's merits, Emperor Chongzhen did not know how to give praise, in addition to personally receiving him and listening to him report the entire battle process in person, there was only a land reward near Rehe Fort.

Because Niu Juming, in addition to stirring up the situation in the northern part of the country and making contributions, he also brought back Hari Zhula to the emperor, and this matter cannot be publicly rewarded or punished.

The arrival of Hari Zhula made the current Emperor Chongzhen feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the Ming army in Rehe Fort had just killed nearly 10,000 of Horqin's old and weak, and now they had snatched the first beauty of Horqin to offer it to themselves.

However, such a stunner at the level of red face and trouble, killing it is definitely a tyrannical thing, and it is even more impossible to give it to others, and how can he be willing to give it, these problems are more troublesome to the emperor than the rewards given to the generals of Liaodong Town and Rehe Fort.

In particular, it is necessary to consider whether or not to welcome Hari Zhula into the palace is linked to Emperor Chongzhen's future grassland strategy.

The total number of Mongolian tribes in the Saibei steppe, including the southern and northern parts of the desert, may not even be more than 2 million, but they cannot be easily eliminated.

Besides, the grassland pastures on the Mongolian Plateau are not suitable for the survival and production of the Han people in Middle-earth, if this nomadic people who have lost their enterprising spirit because of their belief in Lamaism are really destroyed, the Mongolian Plateau beyond the Great Wall will lose a barrier to deal with the Rakshasas in the future.

Maybe Siberia will rise up some kind of steppe people, once again occupy the Mongolian plateau, and then develop southward.

In the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, as long as the steppe tribes on the Mongolian Plateau submitted to the Han Empire in the middle of China, then there was no need to exterminate them.

Now this steppe people, who are obsessed with Tibetan Buddhism and Lamaism, is no longer the biggest threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.

As for how to treat them, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has already made it very clear, that is, "Those who belong to me will always be in peace with China, and those who turn their backs on me will run outside the plug!" ”

Those who belong can continue to be settled in the Mongolian plateau, and those who do not will be driven farther away, such as the vast expanse of Siberia!

To implement such a strategy, of course, we should start the layout now, and Borzigit-Harizula, the pearl of the Horqin grassland, is an important part of it.

Although Niu Juming is not as far-reaching as the current Emperor Chongzhen, some of his ideas are not wrong in the direction.

When Emperor Chongzhen received him in the study of the Qianqing Palace, Niu Juming said to the emperor: "Ordinary people inside and outside the court can regard Weichen as lucky, thinking that Weichen instigated Cao Wenzhao's department to run thousands of miles and bring back Horqin's Hari Zhula to the front of the palace, just to please Your Majesty with beauty and seek to advance to the body."

Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Weichen and others brought back Harizhula to His Majesty, although they had the selfish intention of respecting His Majesty, but more out of the consideration of my Ming Dynasty to appease the Eastern Mongolia and even the Mobei Mongolian tribes in the future. Not only is Harijula beautiful, but what amazes her subordinates is her wisdom.

"Her beauty and wisdom are enough to be a good match for His Majesty's harem, and especially important is her Mongolian noblemanship, if His Majesty includes her in the harem, then Eastern Mongolia and even Mobei Mongolia can know Your Majesty's sincerity in treating the Mongolian tribes well.

"Although the Dongyu is humble and lowly, its slave chieftains are also very wise and know how to marry with the Mongolian tribes in order to encircle Mongolia and conspire with my Ming.

"I, the Chinese nobles of the Ming royal family, have always disdained to make peace with foreign races, but now that the situation is at this point, if Your Majesty is unwilling to condescend today, he will give up the Mongolian tribes to the Dongyu, and the result is just a cheap Dongyu!

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and I don't think so. Your Majesty, please see it! ”

Niu Juming's words are high-sounding, and the emperor can't agree if he doesn't agree, because if you don't agree, it means that you ignore the comfort of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty for the sake of your own Qinggao.

Emperor Chongzhen snickered in his heart, and he also admired Niu Juming even more.

Niu Juming, who was also the famous Prime Minister of the Dashun Dynasty Niu Jinxing in later generations, does not really think so in his heart.

The important thing is that he said what the emperor was thinking, and even said to some extent what the emperor wanted to say but it was inconvenient to say at the moment.

After Niu Jinxing finished saying these words at that time, the cabinet and military ministers who accompanied him were also a little dumbfounded, looking at each other, and even forgot how to refute for a while.

And before they could speak, Emperor Chongzhen had already spoken: "Niu Aiqing's words made me pause. Everything I have done since I ascended the throne is for the sake of Zhongxing Daming and Zhongxing China. But whoever is conducive to the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, even if my reputation is damaged, I must deserve it. There is no need to have any doubts about this. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the meaning was already understood, and the ministers of the cabinet and the military aircraft department who accompanied Niu Juming to listen to Niu Juming's report on the situation of the war in the north of Cyprus also had nothing to say.

Today's cabinet chief assistant Li Guoqi, cabinet minister Xu Guangqi, as well as cabinet ministers and ministers of military aircraft Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, are not rigid pedantic people, seeing that the emperor and Niu Juming, who is now full of praise for the emperor, sang and harmonized, and said everything that should be said, several people looked at each other, in addition to praising His Majesty Shengming, there was nothing to say.

Besides, whether to welcome Ha Rizhu into the palace or not, in the final analysis, it is still the emperor's private affair, as long as the queen of the Ming Dynasty agrees, what can they say?

However, after this incident, the perception of the cabinet and several important ministers of the Military Aircraft Department on Niu Juming in the military aircraft dormitory has suddenly deteriorated a lot.

Several important ministers who originally admired the wisdom and strategy of the new military aircraft housekeeper, after a conversation in front of the emperor, suddenly found that Niu Juming, who had the name of poisonous Zhuge , was really an unscrupulous opportunist who wanted to cater to his intentions.

Therefore, for Niu Juming's contribution in the war in northern Cyprus, several important ministers of the cabinet and the military aircraft department also quietly reached an agreement, but they did not mention it.

In this regard, Niu Juming doesn't care, his life goal is quite ambitious, and now it has just begun, and these old ministers in front of him will eventually grow old, and now as long as he gets the emperor's approval, are he still worried that he has no great future?

While obtaining the understanding of the cabinet and the important ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, Emperor Chongzhen also told the Empress Zhou, the imperial sister-in-law Empress Yi'an, Empress Zhang, as well as Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan, about the matter agreed by the Military Aircraft Department.

Of course, these concubines were unhappy in their hearts, but only Concubine Tian dared to express it, after all, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Chongzhen in the harem.

However, her displeasure was meaningless, because the imperial sister-in-law, Empress Yi'an, was the first to express her support, because for her, the whole thing had little to do with her, and the emperor had already discussed with the cabinet and the military aircraft department, how could the harem oppose it.

So as soon as the emperor finished speaking, she noticed the unhappiness on Concubine Tian's face, and then immediately expressed her supportive attitude, and the emperor really gave a grateful look, and he was very happy in his heart.

Empress Zhou also followed up to express her welcoming position, now there are few people in the emperor's harem, and people who don't know the situation still think that she is jealous, but in fact, the emperor himself has never expressed the intention of enriching the harem before.

But it has been two years since the emperor's wedding, and the Zhou family, Tian family, and Yuan family have not given birth to heirs, although the emperor always says that they are still young and not in a hurry, but there is already a discussion in the court.

If Empress Zhou showed an unhappy or unwelcoming attitude on the issue of Hari Zhula, wouldn't it confirm the rumors of jealousy?!

Besides, Hari Zhula is a stunning beauty of the Saibei grassland tribe, and when she enters the palace, even if she can't be her own helper, she can also distract the emperor's favor for Concubine Tian, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
