"Bang bang—"

"Sigh the law ......"

On the grassland in the eastern part of Horqin, with the sound of cavalry, more than 5,000 Ming cavalry were chasing less than 3,000 Mongolian cavalry on the grassland.

It was the Lord of Korqin who was responsible for spearheading the escape...... Oba Oba.

Behind Oba, large and small Korqin Taiji and Baylor were also running wildly, for fear of being thrown off due to lack of horsepower.

Behind them were less than 3,000 elite Korqin cavalry, and this group of Korqin elites who had fought in the Yehebu and conquered the Nurhachi War were now like lost dogs.

From day to night, from night to day......

Finally, when they didn't know how far they had run, when the horses began to tire down in batches, the Ming army finally gave up the pursuit of them......

Looking at their fleeing backs, some of the commanders in charge of the pursuit could only spit out:

"These dog tartars can really run ......"

It was really impossible to catch up, and the generals of the Ming army could only announce the rest of the army, and then withdraw to the city of Geljurgen.

By the time they withdrew, it was already noon the next day, and Man Gui and Sun Shoufa had already led the army to retreat to the post road pass.

The details of the seizure of the city of Geljurgen were also placed on Zhu Youzhen's head, with more than 1,500 cattle and more than 1,400 sheep.

There are not many of them, and it seems that before the Ming army arrived in the city, Oba had already sent people to break through with the herd.

However, these cattle and sheep are also a lot of seizures, plus thousands of acres of cultivated land near the city of Geljurgen, this may become the northernmost city of the Ming Dynasty.

"When the war is over, the prisoners and convicts from all provinces will be the first to move here, and the city will be expanded to be two miles long and wide, enough to accommodate 50,000 people, and at the same time ensure the safety of the water source."

"The city is according to the standard of rammed earth, and it is enough to build some gravel collected during the opening of the wasteland outside, and there is no need to make it according to the standard of the gate, and the importance of the city wall will be greatly reduced in the future."

Walking on the city of Geljurgen, Zhu Youzhen kept saying his opinions to the scribes of the army, and when everything was said, a scribe said: "Your Highness, does this city need to be renamed?" ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment: "Change the name and set up a mansion, it will be set up as Taining Mansion, and the southern part will be added as Duoyan Mansion." ”

"In the future, the entire northeast region will be won, and then Fuyu and Beishan Fu, Murowei, Buyeo, Donghae and ...... will be added."

"Specifically, I will have people depict it and send it to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so that the imperial brother can make the final decision."

After all, the Northeast region is cold, Zhu You has calculated, no matter how he moves, it is estimated that the population of the Northeast will not exceed 20 million.

This is not to say that the Northeast is not good, but that the Ming Dynasty could not maintain too many people moving into the Northeast.

The Western Regions, the Old Port, and the Indochina Peninsula are places that need far more people than the Northeast.

In addition, it is better to maintain a population density that is not too high.

It remains to be questioned whether the education system after the Ming Dynasty can complete the first industrial revolution, and Zhu Youzhen cannot treat the people of the Ming Dynasty as consumables like the first industrial revolution in Europe.

At this time, some people go to be the people, but they don't have to be the people of the Ming Dynasty......

The expansion of the basic plate is the main thing he has to do, and the expansion of the basic plate requires the people of the Ming Dynasty to become the main ethnic group in the local area.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen glanced at the vast Horqin grassland outside the city.

In his lifetime, if he can reclaim 100 million mu of cultivated land in the northeast, and then let the per capita cultivated land owned by the people of the Ming Dynasty reach 10 mu, even if land annexation breaks out again, it will be more than 100 years later......

What the world will look like in more than 100 years, even he can't say.

Even if Daming still can't compare with the innovation ability of the Europeans, there will not be much difference in technology between the two sides.

"Beep-"

Just as Zhu Youzhen was thinking this, the whistle interrupted his thoughts, and the pursuing cavalry began to return one after another, and before they had entered the city, they were told to go west to catch up with Man Gui's team.

Without a moment of rest, more than 6,000 people continued to embark on the journey, and at this time, the commander of Yu Linwei stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, we have more than 5,000 people here, do you want to leave some ......?"

"No need, one hundred Yanshan five-pound cannons with a car formation are enough to resist tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry." Zhu Youzhen glanced at the commander of Yu Linwei, and was not worried about his safety.

His arrangements are based on the premise of his own security and the security of the army, as well as the achievement of strategic goals.

If the current situation is detected by Jianyu, Dai Shan may still think about touching the Ming army, but Huang Taiji will definitely know what to do......

"Oba is an idiot!"

When Zhu Youzhen was still thinking about it, it took a day to learn that Huang Taiji, who had fallen to Geljurgen City, was about to die of anger.

At this moment, he also led the army to gallop on the grassland, searching for the mountain roads where the Ming army was heavy.

It was not easy to explore where the Ming army's baggage mountain road was, but before the army could move, the city of Geljurgen fell.

Huang Taiji, on horseback, counted the time, and almost from the time he set out, Oba only kept watch for six hours before escaping.

There were still four hours when the Ming army was on the way, and it might not be two hours before Oba ran away......

Thinking about it like this, Huang Taiji's chest was dull, and he seemed to be out of breath.

He glanced around, and saw that the stretching Haravan Mountains were not far from them, and according to the intelligence of the Tang Cavalry, the heavy soldiers and horses of the Ming army were in the mountain pass more than thirty miles to the south.

"To fight or not to fight?"

For a while, Huang Taiji hesitated, because he always felt that it was too much of a loss not to fight, but he felt that it was also a loss to fight.

The Ming army has already taken the city of Geljurgen, counting today's time, which means that the time for their return trip will be two days.

In two days, without carrying artillery, it was simply wishful thinking to take down thousands of Shangzhi Ming troops who were holding the mountain pass.

"Withdraw!"

After thinking about it, in the end, Huang Taiji still chose to retreat without contact with the Ming army, and many people did not understand this.

"Master, won't we try?" Gushan Ezhen stepped forward to ask, but Huang Taiji twitched the corner of his eye and explained:

"According to the return of the fleeing Mongols in the city of Geljurgen, Zhu Youzhen's troops are about 123,000."

"Coupled with the Tang cavalry that was released, he should have brought the four cavalry guards to the Northern Expedition, and the number of Geljurgen City is only three guards at most, where do you think there is another guard?"

Huang Taiji looked at Gushan Ezhen, which made the other party also realize his gaffe, and hurriedly complimented:

"The master is far-sighted, if it was a minion, I am afraid that he would have been unable to go up and kill the enemy, so that the army would be lost."

Let the army be at a loss......

Such a sentence came out of the mouth of a general of Gushan Ezhen's level, which was really a bit demoralizing.

However, Huang Taiji didn't blame the other party, after all, it was a fact, and he didn't want to fight anymore.

Thinking of the power of the Shangzhi Fourth Cavalry Guard and the Ming Army's artillery, Huang Taiji felt a faint pain in his waist.

"Two days...... As long as I hold on for two more days, I will have a chance...... Oba this stupid donkey that deserves to be killed! ”

Huang Taiji's breath burned a lot when he thought that he hadn't hit the time gap, failed to usher in a great victory, lost dozens of important iron cannons, and spent thousands of stones of grain galloping to this place.

In order to recover the loss, he turned his head and immediately said:

"Order the whole army to retreat to the north, and don't show mercy to other tribes in Horqin along the way, and plunder all the cattle and sheep back to Shangjing."

"Since they did not report the news of the Ming army to Oba, it means that they have surrendered to the enemy, and the cattle, sheep and horses left behind will only become a boost for the Ming army."

"The minion takes orders." Gushan really should go down, and Huang Taiji was reluctant to take a look at Hara Wen Mountain.

He used his behavior to tell the generals of the Jin State that not everyone can fight a big detour and outflank like Zhu Youzhen and Nurhachi.

If you don't grasp the time difference well, maybe you will get into trouble with a pig teammate, and if you can't say it, it will be the result of the annihilation of the whole army.

The Jin army began to retreat, and the traces of their retreat were not discovered by the Ming army until a day later, and were sent to Zhu Youzhen three days later.

"It's his style...... too"

The city of Grejurgen, no...... Maybe it should be said that Taining City.

When Zhu Youzhen received the news from Man Gui in the simple courtyard in the city, he was not surprised by Huang Taiji's retreat.

Huang Taiji is not a fool, and Hou Jin is not a Ming army, they are destined to be unable to exchange heavy casualties for a partial victory.

When he learned that the Ming army had captured Taining City, and some soldiers and horses began to come back to help.

Unless Huang Taiji was willing to take the risk of being caught by the Ming army, it was impossible to take the initiative to attack the Ming army at the post pass.

However, Huang Taiji's tactics this time did disrupt Zhu Youzhen's tactical arrangement, otherwise he could have let the three cavalry guards pursue Oba to Eastern Siberia and then return.

It is always a pity that Oba was not exterminated this time, but it is indeed worth celebrating the acquisition of hundreds of millions of acres of grassland and the opening up of a provincial territory.

The only thing to be done now is how to consolidate the territory of this province.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen began to think, and at this time, a commander outside the courtyard also walked all the way into the courtyard.

He held a piece of parchment rolled up in his hand, and when he entered the courtyard, he presented the parchment roll with both hands and said:

"Your Highness, Taiji, the fourteen tribes of the north and south of Horqin, such as Ombu, expressed their willingness to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and respected Long Live as "Bogda Khan", and respected His Highness as the Taishi......"

"......" heard the table of Taijibel of the Horqin tribe such as Ombu, and Zhu Youzhen was really happy when he heard that his brother was honored as Bogda Khan, because if it was translated, it should be "Holy Khan".

It's just that when he heard that he was respected as a master, he always felt a little weird.

In his impression, those who are respected as Taishi don't seem to have a good end......

"These guys aren't connotating me......" Zhu Youzhen was a little speechless, but no matter what, it was still more pleasing to be presented with the title of Khan.

He immediately turned his head to look at the commander of the Yu Linwei next to him, and said:

"Report to the court, don't exaggerate, be humble in your words, otherwise the civil officials in the court will think that we are bragging."

"Yes...... Your Highness. Commander Yu Linwei responded with a smile, and then arranged for the military scribe to start reporting the victory.

However, when he did this, Zhu Youzhen glanced at an official squatting in the corner, and was a little speechless.

This is the official he captured from the living note to serve as a war record, but the other party seems to have left the bad habit of writing the living note here.

"I couldn't get started with Huang Taiji, I always feel that this battle is a little boring......"

Touching his chin, Zhu Youzhen only felt that this second time he swept the north, except for a little pleasure with the tiger and the rabbit, the rest of the whole process was not interesting.

At this time, he understood why his ancestor Zhu Di felt bored every time he swept the north, but he was enthusiastic.

If you don't sweep it, he'll harass you, sweep it, this guy is running as fast as a rabbit.

At present, the Russian expeditions are still west of the Yenisei River, and they have no restrictions on Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia, nor can they squeeze the living space of the Mongols.

This gave Mobei and Modong Mongolia room to escape......

"Forget it...... Let's report the victory! ”

Zhu Youzhen got up and walked out of the courtyard, and the eight-hundred-mile rush pond rider with good news also led the team south unimpeded.

Unlike when they came, they still had to cross the Haravan Mountains to carry out surprise attacks, and many Horqin tribes from Taining City to the south obediently bowed their heads when they saw the Ming cavalry.

Whether it was the nobles of the tribes, the herdsmen, or the slaves......

They all knew one thing yesterday, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty became their Bogda Khan, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty became their imperial teacher.

In other words, now they are the people and subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more wars between the two sides in the future.

However, how their Bogda Khan and the Grand Master were going to govern them made everyone worry in their hearts.

The unimpeded Tangqi soon went south, from Taining City to the capital, a distance of 1,900 miles, they calmly went to the Horqin tribes along the way to change horses, and continued to the south after enjoying the gaze of everyone.

On this day on the third day of the fourth lunar month, twelve Tang cavalry rushed into the Great Wall, after two hours of galloping, in the afternoon when the people were full of food, twelve Tang cavalry deliberately rushed into the capital from many gates of the capital, holding up the documents in their hands and shouting:

"Sweep the Great Victory!"

"Sweep the Great Victory!"

"The king of Qi broke the tiger and squatting rabbit in the Duolun grassland, and broke the Horqin Oba in the Taer River of Harawen Mountain......"

"The tiger squatted and the rabbit fled north, Oba fled east, two thousand miles north and south from the capital to the ...... of the kingless court"

"The Monan tribes respect the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow as the Bogda Khan......"

The Twelve Horsemen seemed to have deliberately, and read the news very clearly, especially on the news of the honorific title of Bogda Khan of the various tribes.

Some of the people along the official road are still picking their teeth with toothpicks, some are still eating roadside stalls on the roadside, and some are taking a walk after dinner.

They didn't even react to what was going on, as if the horsemen with a loud horn rode past and ran towards the Daming Gate of the palace.

Don't ask why you don't go to Donghua Gate......

Fought a big victory, took a trip to Daming Gate, and experienced the addiction of a hundred officials and a court, which is the highest honor of a Baojietang ride.

Under the loud propaganda of the Tang Riders, soon the people of the four cities inside and outside the east and west knew the news of the victory in the Great Sweep.

This news set off a thousand waves for a while, and many people were overjoyed, and they couldn't believe that the tiger squatting rabbit who led the troops to knock on the pass last year ran away like this.

There is no royal court for 2,000 miles from the north and south of the capital, which is a grand occasion and praise only in the Yongle period.

For a time, the entire capital fell into an atmosphere of crowd affection, and twelve Tang horsemen also gathered in front of the Daming Gate, holding high the good news in their hands to signal the three guards of the imperial city to open the city gate.

The three guards of the imperial city informed the Wenhua Palace, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Zhu Youxiao, who had just returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The inner and outer courts were in an uproar, and hundreds of officials flocked to the Huangji Palace, and Zhu Youxiao had to put down his wood, put on his regular clothes again, and go to the Huangji Palace on a big chariot.

Along the way, hundreds of officials were in a hurry, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Some people are happy, some are red-faced, some are red-necked, and some are uncontrollable.

It's just that compared to the one-sided jubilant, some officials don't look good, although they are smiling on their faces, they always feel that they are smiling and not smiling.

Hundreds of officials and officials from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies flocked to the Wenhua Hall one after another, like people watching gossip, discussing the war one by one before Zhu Youxiao arrived.

"How long has it been? It seems like less than a month......"

"Yes, thirty-three days."

"But even so, it's too fast......"

"It's really fast, Hongwu's thirteen northern expeditions, Yongle's five expeditions to Mobei, each time is a long year, as short as three months, and there has never been a situation where there is no royal court in Monan in 33 days."

"I heard that the Ministries have given Banzai the honorific title......

"There aren't many tribes left......

On the Emperor's Palace, hundreds of officials discussed, thus arguing.

However, what is at issue is not Zhu Youzhen's merits, but the so-called honorific title of the Monan Tribes......

Everyone knows that the Seven Divisions of Mo Nan have been swept by Zhu Youzhen last year, and the Tuban Department has been attacked and attached, and there are only three left on the grassland.

Now Horqin Great Khan Oba fled eastward, and the Tatar Hutudun and Karaqin tribes fled north.

Mo Nan couldn't even pull out a complete majority, and everyone was questioning whether the matter of the honorific titles of the ministries was directed and acted by Zhu Youzhen.

After all, there is no one in the south of the desert at the moment, not to mention that Zhu Youzhen reported that Zhu You's report said that Zhu You's list of "Bogda Khan" and even the above table of "Genghis Khan" no one objected.

Therefore, the officials still look at the last part of the good news with suspicion.

At the same time as they questioned, Zhu Youxiao walked onto the high platform, and the officials immediately knelt down:

"Hooray, hooray, hooray......"

"Spread the good news of Mo Nan!"

Zhu Youxiao only figured out what happened on the way.

For him, who likes to be famous, it is undoubtedly a very face-saving thing to be honored by the Monan tribes, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait for Xuantang to ride up to the palace.

"Long live Xuantang riding up to the palace......"

"Long live Xuantang riding up to the palace......"

"Long Live the ......"

From the Huangji Hall to the Huangji Gate, the Noon Gate, and the End Gate......

When the sound sounded, it was finally ushered in the opening of the Daming Gate.

As a small flag officer of the twelve Tang Riders, a Tang Rider in his thirties was excited and started a long-distance run with good news in his hand.

As he ran, he shouted the great victory of Mo Nan, the victory of the great victory.

From Daming Gate to Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, Wumen, Huangji Gate, Huangji Palace......

If it weren't for the nearly three-mile journey, if it weren't for the training of running morning exercises, it is estimated that people would have been tired and lying down.

When Tang Qi ran into the square behind the Huangji Gate, his voice began to get louder and louder, and the officials in the hall also clearly heard the news of the victory.

The last time this Daming Gate was opened, it seemed that it was when the Korean War was sacrificed, and I never thought that more than 20 years later, some of them could actually experience it twice.

The old ministers who have experienced it twice for a while have puffed up their chests, although the victory of sweeping the north has nothing to do with them, but they still think that there are no hundred officials in the court to strategize, how can there be such a thing as sweeping the great victory?

Tang rode up to the white jade platform, and after the release of the Han general at the door, he walked into the Imperial Palace with a nervous mood, and trotted all the way to the high platform, and presented the good news with both hands:

"Sweeping the Great Victory, King Qi broke the tiger and squatted in the Duolun grassland, and the tiger and rabbit dun and Bo fainted fled north for 2,000 miles."

"The king of Qi broke Oba in the Taer River of Harawen Mountain, Oba fled 700 miles east, and Huangtaiji was forced to retreat, and there was no royal court from the north and south of the capital."

"The Monan tribes surrendered, and the total table honored His Majesty as the Bogda Sage Khan......"

"The king of Qi asked the imperial court to set up Kaiping, Duoyan, and Taining three mansions outside the Sai, and immigrate to the real side!"

Tang Qi repeated the words he had said many times, while watching someone take the good news from his hand and hand it over to the emperor on the high platform.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao listened to his words in a daze, he opened the good news in his hand, and still can't believe that he has completed the feat that Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu, and the first fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty have not completed.

How many years have Han Chinese emperors been honored as Khan? It seems that since Tang Xuanzong Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty, there have been few emperors in the northern desert who have honored the emperors of the Han dynasty as Khan.

Although Zhu Youxiao knew that his Khan, like Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, was only the honorific title of a small number of tribes, and it was not as heavy as Li Shimin's Heavenly Khan, this did not prevent him from getting excited.

Looking at the decapitation and battle exploits on top of the good news, Zhu Youxiao's hands clenched the good news nervously, and then after a few breaths, he put down the good news in his hand and said in a loud voice:

"The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, together with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, are discussing the issue of the three foreign provinces."

"In addition, the silver will be allocated from the interior to reward the soldiers of the battle to sweep the north."

"In addition, Yuan Keli, the political envoy of Shandong, was transferred to serve as the governor of the three prefectures, and then 17 people, including Li Tengfang, Chen Yuting, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zheng Sanjun, Li Banghua, Sun Juxiang, Rao Shen, and Wang Zhihuan, were transferred to the three prefectures to take up their posts......"

Zhu Youxiao's words made the hearts of the parties in the palace tighten, and Wei Zhongxian beside him felt a pain in his heart.

The hearts of the parties were tight, because they knew about Yuan Keli's request to return to the capital as an official.

It's just that the emperor has transferred Yuan Keli to Guanwai, which means that the emperor doesn't want Yuan Keli to come back.

This is in line with the interests of the eunuch party, but the Donglin ministers who immediately transferred 17 officials abroad are a little tired.

Everyone knows that Wei Zhongxian asked Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate these seventeen people, which means that the death of these seventeen people is actually not far away.

However, at present, these seventeen people have passed through the hands of the emperor and are directly transferred to the outside of the pass, which seems to be a Ming surrender, but in fact it is difficult to say whether the emperor is trying to protect them.

The emperor's arrangement made Cui Chengxiu, Yao Zongwen, Tang Binyin, Gu Tianjun and others frown, while Han Yi, Zuo Guangdou and others breathed a sigh of relief.

It's Wei Zhongxian, at this moment, he doesn't care about Donglin's life or death, he only heard that the emperor wants to transfer the internal money to the army.

He had just raided the salt merchant's house, and he had managed to get the money inside, and before he could smooth out his deficit over the years, the silver was about to be transferred.

It's uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable, the money is taken away, it's worse than killing him......

Now that he has no money, where will he get the money to smooth out his short books? Is it true that you want to spit out the money you have eaten?

Impossible, absolutely impossible......

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, and his eyes began to scan the hundred officials, as if he was ready to find someone to attack......
