The capital in September is destined to be an extraordinary time.

The news that Yu Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had entered the cabinet counselor before the Son of Heaven reinstated, made countless court officials toss and turn, and at the same time, a Hongling urgent report knocked on the gate of the imperial city that had just been locked.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Changluo looked at the submission of the three ladies below, and he knew that he was one step closer to completely subduing Tumut.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime time!

In the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty, only when Emperor Chengzu was there, he could suppress the grassland and make several northern expeditions, which made those aliens tremble, but even Emperor Chengzu could only ensure that he was not threatened by the grassland when he was alive, and after his death, the Ming and Tatars immediately returned to a hostile state.

This is a problem that has plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years, when the national strength is strong, it can defeat the grassland, but it cannot destroy the grassland, as long as the Central Plains once the national strength is weakened, the grassland will take the opportunity to invade.

Although Zhu Changluo did not start this war in a planned way, since the war started, he had to win, not only to win, but also to go all out.

Frankly speaking, Zhu Changluo is actually confident that he can win Tumut, even if he has the support of the Chahar Ministry, but after all, it is a chaotic grassland, not to mention that after a thorough reform, if the three major battalions that have armed themselves to the teeth come out, Tumo especially said that it is a siege, and it would be good to be able to withdraw the army in a hurry.

But in the end, he only sent the Shenji Battalion, and strictly ordered the Shenji Battalion to only participate in the defense of the city before the general attack, and the reason why he did this was not only because of the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also because he had deeper considerations.

Naturalization!

This is the only way to completely solve the border problem, the Central Plains nation has never been a xenophobic nation, Confucius made the Spring and Autumn Period, Yi Di into China, then China, China into Yi Di, then Yi Di; Mencius even made it clear that Shun was born in Zhufeng, moved to Negative Xia, died in Mingtiao, the people of Dongyi, King Wen was born in Qizhou, died in Bi Ying, and the people of Xiyi also.

Only to be able to completely integrate the grassland people into the Ming Dynasty, is the way to cure the root cause, this inclusion, not only to make the grassland people submit to the Ming Dynasty, nor to simply corrupt their nobles, but to start from the bottom, so that the people on the grassland recognize the Ming Dynasty, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, only in this way, can the border problem be completely solved.

But Zhu Changluo also knew in his heart how difficult it was to achieve this step!

The distinction of Huayi has always been the unshakable fundamental concept among the Central Plains nations, the ancient sages took culture and civilization as the theory, inclusive, but today's people have never had the idea of sages, the so-called non-my race, its heart must be different, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Central Plains ethnic group assimilated and accepted less and less, and began to pay attention to bloodline.

Not to mention anything else, Zhu Changluo dared to say that if he dared to make his thoughts public, he would immediately be greeted by the sound of impeachment.

What's more, even if he doesn't talk about the problems of these ministers, in this matter, Zhu Changluo is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

What he wants is to make the grassland people's hearts turn to the Ming Dynasty and admire the Central Plains, and then hope that he can become the people of the Ming Dynasty, rather than completing this transformation through coercion.

Facts have proved that this method is effective, and judging from the news sent back by Jinyiwei, at least for now, the people of Jianzhou Jurchen are no different from the people of other towns in Daming.

Murhazy has repeatedly sought Li Rumei's help, but it was not for nothing.

Over the years, Li Rumei's biggest thing to do is to gradually affect the lives of the people of Jianzhou, Zhu Changluo is different from other emperors, he is very generous in the exchange with the Jurchens, especially in some daily necessities, he is extraordinarily generous.

Silk cloth, which was usually regarded as a rarity, was easily available to the Jurchen people, especially in order to curry favor with Li Rumei, Murhaqi took the lead in wearing the crown of the Central Plains, which caused a wave among the Jurchen nobles.

In today's Jianzhou City, if you don't take off the crown of your head and expose the money rat tail on your head, those people are no different from the people of the Ming Dynasty.

And this is the first step, if one day the Jurchens can truly live according to the habits of the Han people, then the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about it......

Of course, there is still a long way to go from this step, but Zhu Changluo is also confident in his heart.

So he planned to try this method on Tumut, of course, Zhu Changluo knew in his heart that this matter would be very difficult, in fact, although the Jianzhou Jurchen and Tumut tribes were both aliens, they were actually different.

People are often accustomed to treating the peoples that threaten the survival of the Central Plains as nomads, but in fact they are not, although the Jurchen people are also famous for their cavalry, they are actually fishing and hunting civilization.

It should be said that the transformation of fishing and hunting civilization into agricultural civilization is relatively easy, and more importantly, before Zhu Changluo, Nurhachi was also trying to learn from the Central Plains culture, although the two are different, but after all, the Jurchens were more influenced by the Central Plains civilization.

And the reason why Zhu Changluo was so anxious to make a move on the Jianzhou Jurchen was not only because of the fighter planes at that time, but also because the Jurchen at that time was in the shaping period of a civilization, and it absorbed enough Central Plains civilization, and if it took a step forward, it would be assimilated by the Central Plains civilization, and if it took a step back, it would be able to form its own cultural traces.

If Zhu Changluo remembers correctly, it was in those years, after Nurhachi unified the Jurchens, the first thing he did was to establish Manchu and break away from the influence of the Central Plains civilization.

What Zhu Changluo did at that time was to kill the sprout of this small civilization, and sure enough, it was too late for Murhaqi to become the leader of the Jianzhou Department, and he didn't have the heart to create his own writing and language.

On the contrary, with Zhu Changluo's hint of Li Rumei, she spared no effort to promote the Central Plains culture in Jianzhou, so for the Jurchens, assimilation and naturalization are relatively easy, but Tumut is different.

From the perspective of civilization evolution, the fishing and hunting civilization is a secondary civilization level lower than the agricultural civilization, while the nomadic civilization is a civilization product of the same level as the agricultural civilization, so it is very difficult to assimilate it.

One of the most important problems, and the core contradiction between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, is that the environment in which they live is different: the Central Plains has a mild climate and fertile land, which is suitable for the growth of crops, while the grassland has a severe climate and abundant water and grass, which is suitable for nomadic living.

The birth of the two civilizations is inseparable from the way of life of the common people, and their way of life is determined by the environment, whether it is the Confucian culture of the Central Plains, or various officials and living habits, they are all born based on the condition of farming.

Therefore, it should be said that if the nomads still live in the steppe, then it is very unlikely that they will accept the agricultural civilization from the Central Plains.

But Zhu Changluo wanted to try!

As Fang just said, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this opportunity is not from the Ming Dynasty, but from the grassland.

Today's grassland is divided, the tribes are at war frequently, although the Chahar Department has the name of the co-owner but has no real power, if you meet a strong tribal leader is even more unbinding, take Altan Khan, he accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty as the king of Shunyi, although it is only a matter of name, but it is tantamount to treason, but as a result, the Chahar Department can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and even dare not pierce this layer of window paper, which shows how weak its control over the grassland is.

But the ingenious point is that no matter how small the real power of the Chahar Department is, it will always be the co-master of the grassland, and with it, the major tribes on the grassland will be constrained by each other, and it will be difficult to work together.

This gave Zhu Changluo a chance.

In the past, if you want to naturalize the Tumut Ministry, in addition to the difference in objective conditions, it is easy to provoke the rebellion of the various tribes of the grassland, and they will take the opportunity to annex the Tumut Ministry in the name of treason, but in this case, the various ministries lack the basis for unity, so Zhu Changluo dared to boldly display his ideas in the Tumut Ministry.

Giving the three ladies and Bu him is only the first step, and the next step is to treat the Jianzhou Jurchens and gradually use the Central Plains civilization to assimilate them, of course, this still needs time, but if he expects it to be good, this time should be soon......

"Your Majesty, a great victory at the front!"

Zhu Changluo had just helped the three ladies up, and the banquet was open again, and Chen Ju ran in in a hurry, waving a red feather urgent report in his hand, and spoke.

"Oh, get it!"

Zhu Changluo suddenly stood up from the throne, and his expression was vaguely excited.

After receiving the urgent report in Chen Ju's hand, Zhu Changluo didn't care about the wax seal on the top, and directly tore off the cover of the envelope and took out the military report in it.

"The minister Magui respects His Majesty, by the emperor's grace of heaven, the majesty of thousands of miles, the minister led the army to raid the Tumut camp tonight, captured the enemy chieftain Pullik and his subordinate generals, beheaded more than 2,000 heads of the enemy, captured nearly 10,000 troops, repelled the combined forces of the Chahar Department and the Horqin Department, and the remaining small remnants are fleeing to the Naturalization City, please show your Majesty!"

"Good!"

Zhu Changluo held the military newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but scream.

beheaded 2,000 and captured nearly 10,000, this is an unprecedented victory for the Ming Dynasty for many years, how can it make him unhappy?

"I want to congratulate Madame, now that the front line has been pacified, and the traitor Lalik has been captured, I'm afraid it won't be long before Madame can return to her hometown and restore the orthodoxy of King Shunyi!"

In addition to being happy, Zhu Changluo hadn't forgotten the occasion at hand, and said to the third lady.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, you will help the ministers to quell the rebellion, and the ministers will remember it in their hearts and never forget it!"

The third lady stepped forward and bowed to worship, but her face was complicated, she knew in her heart that this battle would definitely hurt Tumut's vitality, and now that Daming has won, it means that there are countless Tumut men who have died on the battlefield, but when she turned around and looked at her son, she felt that it was all worth it......

"I still have important things to deal with, so I won't accompany my wife more! Madame herself! ”

Zhu Changluo smiled, but he didn't have the heart to stay here longer, his mind had already flown to the front line.

After that, Zhu Changluo immediately went to Kunning Palace, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Eunuch, is there any other news from the front? Where did the Chahar Ministry go? What about Lindane? ”

Zhu Changluo knew that the military newspaper that Chen Ju gave him was a military newspaper on the surface, that is, the kind that was to be sent to the Ministry of War for archiving, and there must be many things on it that were inconvenient to write, so Ma Gui only simply wrote down the beheading and capture, and did not mention any details.

But these details are not mentioned, it does not mean that they do not exist, with the arrival of the military report, Jinyiwei will inevitably send a more detailed military report, which is also one of the reasons why Zhu Changluo sent Liang Yong over in the first place.

However, this time Chen Ju did not take out another military report as usual, but smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, this time Father-in-law Liang didn't send the military report back, but he sent two people back to His Majesty!"

"Two people?"

Zhu Changluo subconsciously frowned and asked.

"Who?"

"Your Majesty Rongchen sells a pass, these two people are waiting for orders outside the palace, Your Majesty will know when you see it!"

Xu is because of the great victory on the front line, Chen Ju, who has always been calm, is also full of smiles on his face at the moment, and he rarely sells Guanzi.

Zhu Changluo's brows expanded, and there was a faint guess in his heart, and he waved his hand and said.

"Since this is the case, let these two enter the temple and face the saint!"

"Yes!"

Chen Ju arched his hand and exited the main hall, but after a moment, he turned back again, and this time, there were two more people behind him.

These two people, one old and one young, one calm and moderate, the other is gloomy and cold-faced, the two of them walked to the hall, they all bowed and worshipped, and said respectfully.

"Chen Yang Lian......"

"Chen Luo Sigong ......"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Yang Lian? Commander Locke? ”

Although Zhu Changluo had a guess in his heart, when he saw these two people, he couldn't help but get up, his face was excited, he turned out of the imperial case directly, walked to the hall, stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said.

"The two Aiqing are up quickly, this great victory, the two Aiqing should be the first to take the lead, but I never thought that I would be able to see the two of them at this moment! Wang An, give a seat to the two adults! ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, the great victory on the front line is to protect Your Majesty's prestige and the four seas, the ministers are only attached to my emperor's tail, and they dare not speak out, and those who are fortunate have not lived up to the trust of our emperor, and finally raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty!"

Facing such an excited Son of Heaven, Yang Lian couldn't help but kneel down again and spoke.

These days, in fact, Yang Lian has the most pressure on his shoulders, because the entire battle situation in Liaodong, and even the battle situation in Datong, are maintained on him, if he hadn't relieved the siege of Liaodong in time, and took the Jurchen cavalry army to aid Datong, this war would definitely not end so quickly, and it would never have achieved such results.

It is precisely because of this that the responsibility on his shoulders is great, and the pressure is the greatest, from rushing to Liaodong to the present, it has only been a few months, but the thirty-year-old Yang Lian's sideburns have a lot of gray hair, until now, Yang Lian's heart is still not slow, but when he heard the comforting words of the Son of Heaven, he instantly felt that all the things he had done these days were worth it......

The king treats the ministers as a countryman, and the ministers should be smeared with liver and brain, and death will not spin!

"Let's talk about the battle situation ahead, and how did our army break the enemy? Where did Lin Dan and Horqin flee to? ”

After a while, Zhu Changluo returned to the throne, still unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked.
