Chapter 119: Provocation from the North!
Two days later.
Zhu Tong and Tang Yanke walked side by side on the street.
Both of them have extraordinary temperaments, and walking on the street naturally attracts the attention of many passers-by.
Tang Yanke's eyes always looked at Zhu Tong intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Tang Yanke hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
"Huh?"
Zhu Tong looked at Tang Yanke's eyes, a little puzzled.
"Daddy told me..."
Tang Yanke glanced at Zhu Tong and snorted lightly.
Zhu Tong's face turned red when he was asked, he was waiting to tell him about it, but he didn't expect Tang Yanke to already know.
He himself didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang's movements to be so fast, and in just a few days, he sent the holy decree to the Tang family.
"Then you... Would you like to? ”
Zhu Tong looked at Tang Yanke, and the two looked at each other.
Tang Yanke looked at Zhu Tong's sincere eyes, very excited, and was about to answer when he suddenly reacted.
"What do you mean by whether I want to or not? You start by saying whether you want to or not. ”
Tang Yanke pretended to be angry and asked.
I thought to myself: What is the use of my willingness if you are reluctant? I want a girl to say it first, really.
Zhu Tong said slowly: "That day, Niangniang also asked me this question."
"And what do you say?"
Tang Yanke asked curiously.
Tang Yan Keke didn't know what Zhu Tong said, he only knew that His Majesty gave it
gave her a marriage and asked her to marry Zhu Tong, all she said just now was to let Zhu Tong say what she said.
"I told the queen that I have always admired Miss Yan Ke, if
He doesn't dislike me, he is willing to marry me, I will live up to him in this life, love her all my life, and spoil her all my life. ”
Zhu Tong looked at Tang Yanke and said with a serious face.
Zhu Tong didn't find out that Tang Yan didn't know.
After Tang Yanke listened to Zhu Tong's words, his face turned red and he walked away quickly.
Zhu Tong looked stunned and hurriedly chased after him.
"Yan Ke, what's wrong?."
Zhu Tong asked at Tang Yanke.
"You... You're too bold......"
Tang Yanke has a fever.
Zhu Tong suddenly realized that in this era, women are very reserved and conservative. thin-skinned, Zhu Tong's words are irresistible to any woman.
Zhu Tong looked at Tang Yanke's shy appearance and smiled, and directly grabbed Tang Yanke's delicate hands and held them in his hands.
Tang Yanke subconsciously struggled, but it was only for a moment, and he let Zhu Tong hold it.
A sweet smile appeared on his face.
......
Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair and was reviewing the recent memoranda sent from various places.
It stands to reason that the New Year has just passed, and Zhu Yuanzhang should take advantage of this time to take a good rest.
However, now Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting next to the dragon case, looking at the music in his hand with both eyes, carefully reading.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang just passed the New Year was that he hurriedly got busy.
The Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and just after the New Year, the foreign clans of the major states began to send envoys to pay tribute to Tianfu.
In recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang has been sending troops to subdue all the foreign clans around the Ming Dynasty and make them his subordinates.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's own estimates, this time Fanbang's tribute should be more than last year.
When Zhu Yuanzhang opened the fold in front of him, he looked at the content of the fold and became angry.
"We haven't cleaned them up for half a year, do you really think that our Daming is afraid?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly slammed the fold in his hand to the ground.
Li Shanchang had been waiting in the main hall, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang Boran being furious, he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to pick up the fold that had fallen to the ground.
I thought nothing had happened recently, huh? What could make His Majesty so angry. He opened the fold and took a look, and Li Shanchang was stunned directly in place after reading it.
I thought: No wonder there is such a big fire, it turns out that this is a congratulatory letter from Tatar!
Anyone who looks at it will feel angry......
Everyone in the world knows that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who defeated the last Northern Yuan Dynasty and sat on the throne of the Central Plains Emperor.
The defeated Northern Yuan has been divided into three tribes of the grassland.
They are Tatar, Warat, and Uliangha.
Among them, Tatar is the most ruthless group of Yuan Court remnants who were chased and killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
After they were defeated, they retreated to the steppes and changed their name to Tatar.
It is to distinguish it from the name Beiyuan, so as to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Tatars returned to obedience, a large number of cattle and sheep were paid to the Ming every year, thus showing their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Now, instead of paying enough tribute, the congratulatory letter is also very bad.
This congratulatory letter says that this year's Tatar tribute gift can only be handed over to the Ming Dynasty in the past thirty percent.
And between the lines, there is a strong sense of threat and provocation!
"Li Shanchang, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank and asked Li Shanchang, who was standing below.
"Your Majesty, judging from the contents of the recital alone, this Tatar has revealed their ambitions."
Li Shanchang put down the fold, stroked his beard, and pondered:
"The minister thinks so, my Ming Dynasty has been fighting in the east and west in the past few years, and the army is also exhausted, these remnants of the north must see that the Ming army is a tired army, so they dare to be so presumptuous!"
"This congratulatory letter, in my opinion, is a provocation by the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Shanchang held up the congratulatory letter and said.
Li Shanchang has always been very conservative in his speech, and as soon as these words came out, it could be seen that he was really angry.
"If we can defeat them once, we can defeat them a second time."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Li Shanchang.
"Your Majesty is right, we have tens of millions of men, and we are afraid that he will be a Tartar."
And Li Shanchang's words also raised the atmosphere in the hall sharply and tightened it into a string.
Since ancient times, war has not been child's play!
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly did not think that the enemy was merciful.
Especially the Tatar people, they are all remnants of the Northern Yuan, and they hate the Ming Dynasty from the bones.
"Ascendant, the Tatar envoy has now arrived in Yingtianfu, and he should go to the court tomorrow to meet the saint!"
"Then let's meet them tomorrow, let's see what kind of wind and waves a group of barbarian foreigners can set off!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held his hands behind his shoulders, looked into the distance and said coldly.
The entire people of Daming are immersed in the joy and reunion of the New Year.
No one would have thought that at this time of the Chinese New Year, a bloody storm would begin!
