Since the siege of the city in the north, Jiajing basically has not had much personal time, and even has less time to greet the Zhang family and his mother. The main energy is spent on discussing the military situation with the minister. For example, this kind of separate summoning obtained by Yang Chengzu can be regarded as a supreme honor.

Jiajing saw that Yang Chengzu's face was still not very good-looking, and helped him to the chair with great concern, "Big brother, how is your body?" The imperial doctors in the palace are clever, but they ...... I'm not too convinced. Since those big clans can reach out to the army, they may not be able to reach the Tai Hospital, and even the medicine is not very safe now. You have to let your henchmen try the medicine first, but I have already asked Immortal Tao to pray for your longevity, and this level will definitely pass. ”

The courtiers didn't have a good opinion of Tao Zhongwen, a monk, but now everything is complicated, and no one cares about him. As soon as the Mongolian soldiers came, Tao Zhongwen said that he would raise the altar and refine ninety-nine eighty-one flying swords to kill the Tartar soldiers. I asked for a few thousand taels of silver from the inner treasury before and after, and as for how much of the result, only God knows.

Jiajing didn't care about this little money because he had Jiang Bin's property to fill his pocket, as long as the flying sword could play a role, it would be worth it back. Yang Chengzu walked back from the Mongols, not only brought back letters, but also heard that he also had a relationship with the head of the Mongolian side, if this road is passed, it may not be bought back for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has always liked to fight one faction and pull one faction for foreign ethnic issues, but there will always be various deviations in the specific implementation. For example, in the implementation of this policy, the Ming Dynasty always chose the wrong ally, or because of the change of specific managers, the newcomer did not recognize the old man's friends, once the son of heaven and a courtier, and even the allies made by the previous dynasty also gave up. In another time and space, the problem of the three ladies is almost a specific portrayal of this low execution.

But now Jiajing is a teenager, but there is no need to think about the change of day and night in a few years, as a young man, no matter how gloomy his temperament is, he always has a passionate and angry side. was besieged by the northern captives, and he was unhappy, so he naturally thought about finding this field.

Expecting the Beijing camp to go out to fight a big battle and kill the Mongols in a river of blood, the probability of this kind of thing happening is too low. Even the division of the Nine Frontier Qin Kings probably has some problems, and what they can rely on now is this kind of off-the-board move.

Seeing Yang Chengzu's haggard appearance, he thought that he had made such a fuss to protect his second sister. Thinking about it one more time, if it weren't for the fact that he carried the account book, he would not have become the target of the family, and he would not have ended up like this, and Jiajing's heart became more and more unpleasant.

"Big brother, speaking of which, it's all to blame for this ancestral family law. If you become a colt, you can't be an official anymore, otherwise, I will let you marry the eldest sister openly, fulfill her wishes, and save no one from daring to attack you again. This time it happened, and you suffered again, and more importantly, you can't find a way back now, I'm sorry for my eldest brother, and I don't feel comfortable. ”

"Heaven doesn't have to be like this, let's remember this account, and it will be calculated slowly in the future. The Mongols will not stay long, and it will not be long before they leave. Those big families, their roots are in the Central Plains, and they can't leave. When this period passed, they had a good time. But for now, let's take a look at what to do with Luo Feihong's side. She has also left a lot of tricks in her, just like my letters to you, and maybe in a while someone will get their hands on them, bring them to you, or negotiate some deal with me. If it weren't for Banzai putting An Luying outside my house this time, I don't know what to do, and the minister should really thank the Wanzai Emperor for his grace. ”

Jiajing smiled, "Forget it, my sister has gone to the town herself, can I still sit idly by." Between you and me, the name is Junchen, but they are actually brothers and a family, and they don't need to say so many polite words to help their own people. Even if someone really takes the evidence that the eldest brother colluded with the bandits and had bad intentions in the future, I will treat it as a fake. What's more, doing business with Tartars is not a big deal, and when the water is clear, there are no fish, this is the truth that my eldest brother taught me in Anlu, and I haven't forgotten it. But I want to know, the eldest brother is so sure that he can control this tribe? ”

Yang Chengzu shook his head and said, "Grasp? How could there be such a thing? Not to mention that the woman is not familiar with me, even if she is a real friend, I am not sure to control her. What's more, when her power grows, even if she doesn't want to invade the south, her subordinates will encourage her to invade and encourage her to plunder. But having said that, as long as there are people on the steppe, whether it is Mongols or Han Chinese or whatever, they will think about plundering the Central Plains. What can control them is not friendship, let alone bloodline, but interests. ”

Jiajing also knew that what Yang Chengzu said was indeed the truth, but this kind of truth could not be explained in the court. If anyone directly says that we support us when discussing politics in the imperial court, he is a white-eyed wolf who will turn his face against us as soon as he becomes strong, and he is afraid that he will be sprayed to death immediately. Therefore, the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty is unpredictable, and many times it is also based on this reason, but it cannot be declared.

Only when the relationship between the monarch and the minister is so close can Yang Chengzu have the opportunity to express his opinions, if someone else says something similar, I am afraid that he will be scolded by the emperor sooner. Otherwise, it will be regarded as an ulterior motive, maybe colluding with the northern captives and plotting against the north, and the hat will have fallen from the sky.

Yang Chengzu continued: "You can't control them by relying on favors, but you can rely on interests." After all, Bodi Khan has been a Great Khan for so long, and he is tougher than Luo Feihong in terms of strength. It is not so easy for her to deal with Bodi, and in a short period of time, she will definitely not give up the big tree of Daming. As for the future, the grassland is full of wolf smoke and continuous killing, even if they want to rob the Ming Dynasty, they must have this capital. Moreover, the lord of Turpan, Ah Heima, has eaten away at my Daming Hami Guard, and we have no strength to send troops to interfere at the moment. However, with the help of Luo Feihong and her tribe, the Mongols can be used to deal with the Tulupan people, and it will not be a bad thing whether the Mongols or the Fan people die at that time. ”

Jiajing's eyes brightened more and more when he listened, and he clapped his hands, "Big brother said well!" Then you just let it go, I don't worry about who I will hand over this matter to except you. If this matter is in the hands of those ministers, they may sell it clean and not receive any benefits, so you can do it yourself. Through business, we will sell things, and we will divide the silver in half. Now I feel more and more that it is urgent to train a new army. ”

If it was originally just an idea to train the new army, this Mongol siege forced Jiajing to hurry up the implementation of this plan. The Son of Heaven is nominally the lord of all peoples, but he was constrained by those famous families and the ministers in the court, and even the Beijing camp could not be moved, and in the end, the only reliable ones were An Luwei who followed Beijing from Anlu and the former ministers of the Wangfu Yiwei Division.

The cruel facts have made Jiajing understand how important it is to have an armed force that is absolutely subordinate to him. If the grassland civil strife can be successfully provoked, the pressure on the northern captives on the Central Plains will be greatly reduced, and the vacated time is just for Jiajing to train the new army and strengthen the monarchy. The only person who wants to handle this matter is also the one in front of him: Yang Chengzu.
