After preliminarily deciding on the canonization and garrison of the Ryukyu State with the envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Emperor Chongzhen also asked the Imperial Court to set up a Ryukyu Hall after the New Year, and let the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shang Yi, bring part of the entourage to the Ming Dynasty.

Shang Yi, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Cai Tong, the deputy envoy, although they resisted Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement, they did not dare to oppose it, and they were speechless, so they had to receive the decree in a complicated mood and thank the grace, and followed the pedestrians of the Imperial Court to kneel and leave.

These practices of Emperor Chongzhen seem to be a little not authentic, or not very benevolent, and there is a suspicion of bullying the small and bullying the weak with the strong, but it is very much in line with the current interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the more typical modest and gentleman-type figures such as Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister, disdain to do things by surrendering their identities, that is, playing tricks on power and engaging in some conspiracies, because this practice does not conform to the ideal of royal benevolence and benevolence that these scholars have always flaunted.

But that doesn't mean they can't see the benefits.

For them who have been up and down for decades, what else is there that they can't see through?

Therefore, although these two people did not speak, they kept quietly watching the emperor perform, but they were happy to see the final result.

After all, a gentleman can cook far away, but he can't live without meat.

When the emperor kills the pigs, they can stand aside and act as if they didn't see it, but when it comes time to divide the pork, they will not stand up against it.

As for the second prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shangyi, and the retainer Cai Tong who came with him, it doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart.

Because of Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement, they couldn't refuse at all.

Either accept it amicably, or tear your face and be forced to accept it, in the final analysis, even a Kagoshima domain in Japan, or thousands of Japanese vako from the Satsuma domain in the Kagoshima region of Japan, they can't resist, so in the face of the behemoth-like Ming Dynasty, in the face of such a Ming emperor, do they have any other choice?

After Emperor Chongzhen received the envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom, he rested for a while, and then asked Jiang Yueguang to bring several envoys from the Mongolian domain to meet together.

Among them, Chen Gebatu, the eldest son of the Guiyi King Burhatu from the Karaqin Tribe, has been in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than a year.

After graduating from the first phase of the cavalry section of the lecture martial arts, he was first arranged to serve in the 3,000 battalion of the Beijing camp, and within a few months, he was transferred back to the lecture hall by Emperor Chongzhen by name as an assistant teacher of the cavalry department, specializing in teaching the skills of archery and horse riding and archery for the students of the lecture hall.

This is what Chen Gelbatu is good at, so it can be regarded as competent and pleasant.

Since Chen Gebatu entered the Ming Dynasty, he usually gets along with people in the name of Chen Ge, and his clothes and hairstyles are all made in the Ming Dynasty.

This time, he followed the envoy of Karaqin, Delige, into the palace to meet him, and Chen Gelbatu deliberately changed into a traditional Karaqin attire.

Otherwise, people who don't know the inside will only think that this is a typical northern man, and they can't easily see that he is the eldest son of Kundulun Khan of the Karaqin Tribe.

After the annexation of Karaqin, the imperial court opened two farms with Karaqin, trading horses, cattle, sheep and furs with the Karaqin tribes with salt, tea, wine, grain and iron tools.

After that, not only did the border outside Jizhen and the left flank of Liaodong calm down a lot, but also the cavalry in Jizhen and the Liaodong Army also had a steady stream of war horses.

The same is true of Enkhbayar, the Kulen Ministry, after its annexation.

The Kuren tribe is much weaker than the Karaqin tribe, and the total population is not large.

However, these Kulen Mongols, who were accustomed to the climate and steppe life of the steppe outside the eastern Liaodong border, were born wranglers and cavalry outposts.

With the Wranglers and cavalry of the Kulun Department on the northwest side of the Ningjin defense line in Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of the Jin State had to go west in and out of the grassland, or the soldiers and horses of the Horqin Department could not escape their surveillance.

Their annexation is a very important strategic outpost for Liaodong Town.

Therefore, for the matter of the canonization of the Kulen Ministry's request for canonization, from the Liaodong Governor's Mansion to the Ministry of War to the Cabinet, all of them were happy to see it, and there was no opposition.

In this regard, of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not have a different opinion.

After all, the scale of the Duolun Ministry is about the same size as the scale of the Cullen Ministry, and they have all been officially canonized, so of course the Cullen Ministry can't be left alone.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen immediately agreed to the request submitted by the Liaodong Governor's Mansion to canonize Enkhbayar, the leader of the Kulun Tribe, and with reference to the specifications of the original canonization of the Duolun Ministry, Enkhbayar was given the title of Fengyi Marquis.

The canonization of Mongolian princes and nobles in the Ming Dynasty has always been a bit inflated, with a lot of water, and they are princes at every turn.

However, after hundreds of years, the leaders of these Mongolian tribes have also formed such expectations, and they will not be able to lower them for a while.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is continuing to win over the Mongolian tribes, the titles given can only be high or low.

What's more, Enkhbayar of the Kulun Department is also very knowledgeable, in order to win the trust of the Ming Dynasty, in order to show the sincerity of his subordination, he also sent his son to the way, and in the name of requesting admission to the lecture hall, he was sent to the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty as a hostage, and the title given by Emperor Chongzhen had to be given higher!

Emperor Chongzhen met with these so-called envoys from the Mongol domain, and said words of concern and encouragement to Chengelbatu, Erdemutu, Arslen, and Manzhu Xili, and rewarded some small objects such as binoculars, as well as some new gold and silver coins from the Jingshi Mint General Factory of the Baoyuan General Bureau of the Ministry of Households, and then ended the meeting.

According to the arrangement made by Emperor Chongzhen's instructions, the noble children of these Mongolian tribes should continue to stay in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Gelbatu, who came from Karaqin, continued to serve as his cavalry assistant instructor in the Huangming Zhongyi Lecture Hall.

Erdemutu from the Duolun Department has been arranged by the emperor to enter the Yulinwei since he graduated from the Wutang, and he is on duty at the Chengtianmen in the imperial city, and now of course he continues to be his commander in the Yulin Weili.

Arslen, who came from the Kulun Ministry, entered the lecture hall to study after the year according to the request of the new Fengyi Hou Enkhbayar, the leader of the Kulen Ministry.

As for Concubine Lan's younger brother, Manzhu Xili from the left wing of Horqin, was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen to enter the pedestrian division of the Li Fan Yuan as a pedestrian, so that he could work in the pedestrian department of the Li Fan Yuan while waiting for the opportunity to return to Horqin one day in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen's concise and bright arrangement not only made a noble old minister like Zhang Weixian feel impressed in his heart, but also made the attendant military attaches Deng Tianhe, Yang Zhen, Hou Tianxi and others who were still on duty in the palace during the Chinese New Year secretly smack their tongues.

These young military attachés, who were originally born in the Jiangmen family, mostly joined the army when they were young, and they have long developed a temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth, but the longer they have been with Emperor Chongzhen, the more they feel that this emperor who is much younger than them is really unfathomable, and they don't need anyone to mention it, and they quickly put away their personalities and become more and more cautious.

The eldest son of Hou Liangzhu, the eldest son of Dingyi Bo, Hou Tianxi, who personally cut off An Bangyan's head, is like this.

In today's southwest region, the Dingyi Bohou family is in full swing, as the eldest son of Dingyi Bohou Liangzhu, Hou Tianxi is of course the kind of person who can walk sideways in the world.

When he went all the way north and came to Beijing to report for duty, just in time for the news that Emperor Chongzhen had won a decisive victory against Jianlu at Juyong Pass, Hou Tianxi immediately understood that the exploits of their father and son in the southwest had become a thing of the past.

This emperor, who was several years younger than himself, personally led the Jingshi Guards to face Jianyu and achieved a great victory, which was much more difficult than following the army of the Marquis of Jingnan in the southwest to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

After he reported to the military department, and then entered the Forbidden City on duty, whether it was Chen Zuoting, the "imperial guard" who was outstanding in his inner boxing kung fu, or Deng Tianhe, Yang Zhen and others who participated in the battle of Juyong Pass with the emperor, they were all handsome for a while, and the arrogant Hou Tianxi quickly recognized the reality that a mountain is higher than a mountain.

Especially during the period after joining the military attaché of the Imperial Chamberlain, it was an eye-opener to see this young emperor turn his hands into clouds and rain and cleanly handle the affairs of Korea, Annam, Ryukyu and various Mongolian domains.

Hou Tianxi's feelings, Deng Tianhe and Yang Zhen and other imperial attendants, of course, have experienced them.

And this is exactly where Emperor Chongzhen's intentions lie.

Whether it is to leave the royal children of the subject countries such as Li Li, Mo Jingwan, and Shangyi, or to leave the heirs of the Mongolian vassal departments, including the selection of young military attaches such as Hou Tianxi, Deng Tianhe, and Yang Zhen to their side for training, they all have one purpose, that is, to win the hearts of the people.

A few years later, or more than ten years later, these young people will become the backbone of each vassal country, vassal or border town, and it is of course more conducive to the future of the Ming Dynasty to bring them together in advance and domesticate, cultivate and observe them, of course, than let them grow naturally.
