"It doesn't matter, I dress simply, it's very convenient to go anywhere, besides, in the past half a year, I have been on the grassland, and I have practiced bow horses diligently, but I have exercised my body and bones much stronger, and now it is only more than a hundred miles, and I can't really talk about the fatigue of the saddle horse." Zhu Qizhen smiled and explained to the old man with a slight bow. The tone of these words was much gentler than when Fang had just said it to Jiang Fu.

This Luo Hengxin is orthodox five years ago in the border town as a civil affairs official, now in the border town has been more than ten years, in the border town of Xuanfu, in addition to Yang Hong, the prestige of this pro-people official is the most, and when the tile spur invaded the south, although Luo Hengxin was a civilian, but he was not afraid of swords, personally carried the sword, and urged the border forts to defend and resist, so that the Xuanfu would not have too much loss, this, Zhu Qizhen really admired this old man.

"Your Majesty is so brave, but you really have the style of the ancestor of the world." Hearing this, seeing that Zhu Qizhen's originally white and tender face is now a healthy red, and the body looks much stronger than when I saw it in the Forbidden City, and a pair of big hands that can only hold a pen and pinch chopsticks can now hold a strong horse and pull a hard bow, which made the old minister sigh a few times. However, Xuan Ji felt that something was wrong, and now that this son of heaven had abdicated the throne, he was really a little old and confused when he said so.

Zhu Qizhen smiled disapprovingly: "Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shizu are both immortal heroes, I envy them very much, it's really not too much, Luo Qing's words make me feel blushing......"

Everyone present couldn't help but let out a few knowingly laughs, not only covering up the embarrassment for Luo Hengxin, but also admiring the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.

"By the way, Jiang Qing, you have summoned someone to me, saying that the team of the Beijing division is not going to Xuanfu, I don't know where it can be called?" Zhu Qizhen didn't forget the Jiang general, turned his head, and asked with a smile at Jiang Fu.

"About to be said later, there is another thing, Weichen wants to report to His Majesty, the Queen Mother's decree, the emperor returns to the Ming, and the etiquette is too simple, so the four sons of Tena will Changbo continue to lead the family Ding maid and a utensils to the Xuanfu, waiting for the emperor's holy drive, about Ming can be here. Therefore, Wei Chen thought about waiting for the mansion to be prepared by Lord Sun, and then asked His Majesty to move. Jiang Fu's words had an obvious flattering meaning, and it seemed that he also noticed that Zhu Qizhen seemed to be cold to him, and wanted to make up for his previous mistakes.

"Liu's house has not yet been cleaned up, and the minister implores His Majesty to live in the mansion today, and the ministers can rest assured......" Jiang Fu looked at Zhu Qizhen with blank eyes, the two tigers fight, there must be an injury, and the two dragons fight? There will definitely be an injury, but it's no wonder that the fish that stays on the edge of the pond is not affected. Therefore, Jiang Fu made up his mind that both parties should not be offended, at least not to let Zhu Qizhen, who was close in front of him, turn his face against him.

"I see, it's really hard for Jiang Qing, then I will stay here for a while, in fact, about Xuanfu, I also have a lot of things, I want to have a good exchange with Jiang Qing." The other party extended an olive branch, and Zhu Qizhen naturally would not refuse, after all, the other party was at least the nominal highest military commander in Xuanfu Town. And Zhu Qizhen will not simply go back, maybe, there will be a lot of places to deal with and communicate in the future.

-------------------- the wine banquet was dispersed, and the guests and hosts were happy, all the officials resigned from the General Military Mansion, but Er Yang and Wang Jinchang stayed, according to Zhu Qizhen's meaning, you brothers saved me, you have to have a beginning and an end in things, unless I leave the Xuanfu and return to the capital, otherwise you will stay by my side and continue to serve as a guard.

Jiang Fu is also happy to be a favor, after all, Zhu Qizhen was able to return to the Ming Dynasty, thanks to these three people who worked hard to serve their lives, and the merit could not be run away, but whether it could be counted as meritorious, Jiang Fu estimated that he was afraid that the Son of Heaven who was sitting in the Forbidden City now did not count this as a mistake, and it was already for the sake of Yang Hong, the military boss.

Therefore, if the Son of Heaven wants to stay, he will stay, and he will save himself more worries, and he can also calmly withdraw to avoid it, so that if Zhu Qiyu is not in a bad mood that day, he will take the knife on himself, after all, the matter is on the side of Xuanfu.

The Yang brothers and Wang Jinchang were stationed in the mansion to take care, but Zhu Qizhen was in the back hall, and once again got together with his henchmen Yuan Bin and others. And Naren is making milk tea with a well-behaved and graceful appearance at the moment, which is her best skill.

Although there is not much difference between milk tea and tea, Zhu Qizhen's eyes are not too different, but he likes the appearance of Naren making tea for himself with his heart, plus Naren is already his woman, so there is naturally no need to avoid her for such things.

"It seems that between the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that there has been an unpleasant incident because of the welcome incident, otherwise, how could they come to their own places?" Yuan Bin's expression was extraordinarily solemn, which was not good news for Zhu Qizhen, the emperor. "One sedan chair, two carriages, and seven products, this new emperor is really ......"

"This kind of treatment is not as good as the envoys of those vassal states who have entered Beijing, Your Majesty, you must not agree to it." Gao Yun angrily smashed his fist on his thigh, and his honest and honest face was full of anger that could not be concealed.

"What if you don't say yes?" Yuan Bin glanced at Gao Yun and said. "Could it be that if the Son of Heaven does not raise the specifications, the emperor will not leave the Xuanfu for a moment? You must know that Jingshi is the Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Don't leave Xuanfu?" Zhu Qizhen's gloomy face that was almost dripping water heard Yuan Bin's words, and he couldn't help but stiffen, and the eyes that had been staring at the milk tea cup in his hand suddenly jumped with that shining light. "Aren't you leaving Xuanfu?"

"Your Majesty, what are you ......" Yuan Bin couldn't help but be startled when he saw Zhu Qizhen repeating this sentence with a bit of a nervous expression.

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, stopping everyone present from wanting to speak, and got up and paced in the hall, trying to catch the glimmer of light in his mind that he had just suddenly gotten up early.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, to the decades of Zhu Di's reign, a series of military conquests against the Northern Yuan Dynasty were carried out and great victories were achieved.

However, they were well aware that this was still far from completely eliminating the Mongol power. Although the military strength of the Mongols declined for a time in the late Yuan Dynasty, once they returned to the steppe, the Mongols quickly regained the quality of the former fierce and brave martial arts, and once again showed the characteristics of enduring hardships and standing hard work, and being able to conquer and fight.

At the same time, although the army of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly fought in the north, due to logistical and living habits, as well as the limitations of historical vision, the Chinese people and the nomads on the grassland could only leave after the battle, and could not permanently occupy the grassland area.

Therefore, the nomads on the steppe were always a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty, and this threat experienced the entire Ming Dynasty. It was in order to ensure the security of the northern frontier that the Ming Dynasty, after a series of military victories, established a number of settings in the Mongolian regions and the Mongol-Ming border that it was able to control. Some of these settings are spinning and extinguishing, and some are long-term and changing.

One is to subordinate the leader of the Ming Dynasty to the governor, the commander of the capital, the commander of the envoy, the thousand households, the hundred households, the town and other official positions, the establishment of the guard station, the title of Duoyan Sanwei is from this.

-------------------- the second is to build a large number of buildings, starting from the Yalu River and following the present-day Fushun; Changtu, the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, Montenegro, Yixian, and Shanhaiguan line, built a moat. From Shanhaiguan in the east, to Jiayuguan in the west, after eighteen times of earth and stone, the Great Wall was built, called the side wall, in which Xuanhua, the south of Datong also built the inner Great Wall, called the second side, this is the Great Wall of ten thousand miles that is seen today. These Great Walls and moats, which were built with countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources, were basically to defend against the southward movement of the Mongol cavalry.

The third is to set up important towns along the Great Wall and station heavy troops. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, nine important towns have been set up to command the front-line soldiers, these nine important towns are collectively referred to as Jiubian Town, namely: Liaodong Town (Zhiguangning, now Liaoning North Town), Jizhou Town (Zhisantunying, now the northwest of Qianxi County, Hebei), Xuanfu Town (Zhixuanfu, now Xuanhua, Hebei), Datong Town (located in present-day Datong, Shanxi), Shanxi Town (governed in present-day Ningwu, Shanxi), Yansui Town (governed in present-day Yulin, Shaanxi), Ningxia Town (governed in present-day Yinchuan), Guyuan Town (governed in present-day Guyuan, Ningxia), and Gansu Town (governed in present-day Zhangye, Gansu). Each town has a chief military officer and governor, one is the commander of the army, and the other is the pro-people officer.

During the entire Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Nine Sides reached one million at most times, and hundreds of thousands at the time, accounting for about two-thirds of the country's military strength. Such a large number of troops, of course, were basically to stop the fierce Mongol cavalry.

And now the deployment of the Ming Dynasty, the total strength of the nine sides does not exceed 500,000, and among them, the Ming soldiers in Xuanfu Town have 110,000 people, which can be said to account for more than one-fifth.

Moreover, the border defense line of Xuanfu Town is also the longest, the Great Wall under its jurisdiction starts from the Yongguan Sihaizhi in the east, and reaches the Xiyang River in Yanggao County, the northeast corner of Shanxi in the west, which is 1,000 and 23 miles long. In addition to guarding Jizhou Town in the suburbs of Beijing, guarding the longest border town along the line, and because its defense is almost completely direct contact with the grassland, the strength of its town is also the first of the towns, and the rest of the border towns, more than 50,000, less than 30,000, compared with Xuanfu, it seems to be much less.

Moreover, the border army of Xuanfu Town has been operating in the hands of Yang Hong for many years, and the commander of this famous general of the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all in the world.

Otherwise, the soldiers of just one town could make the powerful tile thorns invade the south several times and could not be able to do so, so they could only find another way and go south, which led to the defeat of the civil fort.

If these hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers are in the hands of Zhu Qizhen, then even if he doesn't fight with Zhu Qiyu, at least Zhu Qizhen is equivalent to having the capital to protect himself, at least, 100,000 elites, in the eyes of people in this era, it is not too much, and it is not enough to launch a strategic war, but in the eyes of Zhu Qizhen, a traverser, only 350,000 strong soldiers are needed to deal with those scimitars and bows and arrows on the grassland, which is enough to sweep the entire prairie.

This is not Zhu Qizhen bragging B, but the later generations of Tsarist Russia and the Japanese State have proved it to future generations through history with facts. And they even spend fewer troops, of course, this has a lot to do with weapons and equipment.

Zhu Qizhen, a hot-blooded young man, still firmly remembers a classic saying of later generations, the truth is within the range of the cannon, in a word, the distance of firearms is the distance of truth.

As long as enough improvements can be obtained, as long as enough training can be obtained, Zhu Qizhen believes that the Chinese nation, which was able to drive the Mongols out of the Central Plains with hoes and kitchen knives, will definitely be able to completely control their own destiny after gaining the strategy and tactics beyond the understanding of this era, as well as military science and technology.

Zhu Qizhen, who had already fallen into the realm of the traverser YY Future Yiyin, suddenly felt that someone was pushing him, and a warm little hand was on his arm, and when he looked at it, he saw Naren's blue eyes full of concern and worry. "Brother Zhu,...... Husband, what are you doing, why are you smiling here for a long time and not saying a word? ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I thought of something, in fact, staying in Xuanfu Town may not be a bad thing." Zhu Qizhen was moved to shake Naren's slender hand, turned his face, and looked at those subordinates, the smile on his face was a little more firm and bright, and there was an emotion called expectation.
