Nurhachi is dead......

His body was buried in the fire with Huerhan, and the fire burned for a whole day and night, and by the time the Ming army finally extinguished the fire, Nurhachi and Huerhan had already become ashes.

Although there are some regrets, Houjin finally perished, and Zhu Youzhen no longer has to worry, when he governed the country, Huang Taiji made trouble for Daming outside the customs.

Of course, although Houjin is dead, the iron-headed baby Lin Dan Khan is still there.

It's just that after the firing gun was put into production, he wanted to clean up Mobei Mongolia, that is, the matter of 10,000 or 20,000 people, Zhu Youzhen no longer took Lin Dan Khan to heart.

"Send a letter to the capital, divide the land outside the customs into three provinces, Taining Mansion, Duoyan Mansion, and Kaiping Mansion are Modong provinces, and set up Modong Chengxuan Political Division, one province, three prefectures and twelve counties, and the province governs Taining County."

"South of the Heishui River is Donghai Province, with five prefectures and twenty counties, and the capital is changed to Songhua County, and Songhua County is set up as the province of Donghai Province."

"Set up Songhua Mansion, change the capital to Jilin Mansion, change Huifa City to Baishan Mansion, change Mowenhe to Donghai Mansion, and change Duolun to Sanjiang Mansion."

"Then set up Beishan Province, govern Nuer Gancheng in the province, change its name to Beishan County, and set up Beishan Mansion."

"In addition, two more prefectures of Fushan Prefecture and Lushan Prefecture were added, totaling three prefectures and twelve counties."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Youzhen turned the three eastern provinces into the four eastern provinces, and the largest of them was probably Beishan Province, because it needed to manage the East Siberian region east of the Lena River, covering an area of nearly 4.5 million square kilometers.

However, the climate of Beishan is destined to have a small population here, and even if the Ming Dynasty enters industrialization, it will be difficult for the local population to develop like several other provinces outside the Guan.

This can be seen from Zhu Youzhen's renaming of Nuergan as Beishan County.

Beishan County is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the northernmost part of Beishan Province, and it is the deer and dog tribes that live in the area, and if they knew that they could migrate, they would probably abandon the local area and go south en masse.

How to let them stay, this is the problem that Zhu Youzhen needs to solve.

All in all, the Kingdom of Jin has perished, and all that remains is some finishing touches.

Zhu Youzhen planned to spend three months to take a good look at the situation in the vast northeast, and then select the 44 counties of the three provinces that had been decided.

"I'm busy......

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen stroked his head with a slight headache, but at the same time as he had a headache, a fierce battle was breaking out in the south......

"Bang Bang Bang

"Quick! Shoot the arrows!"

"Hiss-"

On the Duolun grassland in April, when the official words of the Ming Dynasty sounded, there were also the sound of arrows and rumbling horses' hooves.

On the plain, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry dressed in simple leather armor, chain mail, and iron armor rushed into this place where peace had been going on for several years.

A cavalry squad of patrol posts on the outskirts of Duolun County spotted them, but with their strength, they were unable to stop the large cavalry contingent.

"Beep-"

"Back to the Stone Castle!"

The team of the Gongwei battalion was blowing the whistle and fled east with six cavalry under his command, and after galloping for several miles, they saw their own cement stone fortress standing on the plain.

The Ming army in the fort was reminded by the arrows and had opened the door for them in advance, and they also rushed directly into the stone fort, turned over and dismounted in a panic, closed the stone castle gate, and directly lowered the jack gate.

The Ming army has hundreds of frontier stone forts in the Monan grassland, each covering an area of 200 square meters, three zhang high, like a stone tower.

Each stone fort corresponds to a team of soldiers and horses, a team of twelve people, the fort has enough rice and wheat for them to eat for a year, and a hundred square meters of vegetable fields have been cultivated in the stone fort.

The stone fort is in the shape of the word "Hui" and is divided into three levels, each with 12 windows for people to shoot.

Although no pig iron was used, the stone-to-wood and cement structure made the castle resistant.

When the Ming troops stationed here used the roof of the fort and lit the beacon fire, they saw a "black line" appear on the edge of the sky.

It was a dense Mongolian cavalry, and this scene made everyone endure

I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

They looked around, there were only some small trees with the thickness of an arm within a radius of more than ten miles, and they were basically trees that only grew after the Ming Dynasty ruled Modong.

Originally, the Ming army was going to cut them down after they were almost the same, but now it seems that it is too late.

Fortunately, these trees could not be used to build cloud carts and ladders, so the Ming army was not afraid.

"Grandma's Land...... This group of northern captives, taking advantage of His Highness's Northern Expedition to build captives, came south to fight the grass valley!"

The team was scolding, but they didn't dare to take the lead.

After all, as long as these tens of thousands of rangers get close to the stone fort to shoot arrows, the dense rain of arrows can shoot them to the hedgehog.

The fort was small and easy to defend, and there was nothing to capture when captured, so the Mongol rangers did not stop, but rushed directly to the east.

"They're going to plunder the village and the county."

The team was muttering, and then looked at the lighted beacon, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the beacon tower is lit, with the wolf smoke reminder of the beacon tower, each stone fort will remind the nearby villages and market towns, and the people will be able to hide in the village forts and town forts.

When their task is completed, they no longer have to worry about being punished.

Thinking of this, the sentry cavalry of the Shangzhi Gong Guard Battalion stationed here all relaxed, and just watched the Mongolian army get farther and farther away from him.

It was only after the eastward advance of the Mongol army disappeared that the team reacted, frowned and said:

"Isn't that right? We are still sixty miles away from the Taifu Temple Horse Farm to the west, why didn't the Taifu Temple Horse Farm release wolf smoke?"

The man scratched his chin, and the deputy team next to him comforted him when he saw this:

"Anyway, we lit the beacon, and the punishment can't be punished on our heads, instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry about Zhang guarding them in Duolun County."

"Zhang Shoubei ......" Hearing this, the team's face also showed a look of worry.

Two quarters of an hour after they finished saying this, as the wolf smoke continued to drift, Duolun County, which stood on the plain between Yanshan and Harawen Mountain, also rang urgently.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

"The North Captives are here! Go back to the city!"

"Come back to the city!"

When the bell of Duolun County rang around it, the nomadic herdsmen around Duolun County immediately drove their cattle and sheep to flee to Duolun County.

The people are fleeing, but some are preparing for battle.

The sound of armor sounded in the head of Duolun County, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed here, only one garrison.

When more than 500 soldiers went up to the city wall, as the armor sounded, a young man with a thin face and a slightly yellow face, a beard six inches long, and wearing a Daming cloth face armor also walked up to the city wall.

"! How many people can come? Scared you into such virtues!"

When this person spoke, the deputy garrison who had gone up to the city wall in advance hurriedly said: "Garrison, I am afraid that there are quite a few northern captives who have come this time, and looking at the scale of the wolf smoke, it is estimated that it is at least more than 10,000 people."

"Ten thousand?" Hearing this, the yellow-faced guard paused, but he still puffed out his chest and glared:

"Scared? I, Zhang Xianzhong, are here, how many Beiyu have come to kill as many as many, and the head of a Beiyu is twenty taels of silver, don't you want to earn this silver?"

"But......" The deputy guard wanted to cry without tears, there were tens of thousands of people, and there were only more than 500 of them here......

"Don't chirp, go! Call all the soldiers and horses and officials in the city to the city walls, and call some Mongolian men who have migrated here as well."

Zhang Xianzhong held on to the female wall and glanced at the herdsmen who were constantly driving cattle and sheep into Duolun County, although he was a little panicked, but he still had to show an undisturbed appearance on the surface, otherwise his people would probably be panicked at this time.

"Yes......"

As Zhang Xianzhong expected, under his calm and calm appeasement, the soldiers of the Gongwei battalion gradually settled down.

In fact, their unstable mood Zhang Xianzhong can also be understood, because Duolun County is too big......

He turned his head to look at Duolun County, and saw a city with a circumference of eight miles appearing

His eyes.

Although the circumference is eight miles and can accommodate more than 200,000 people, in fact, there are only more than 30,000 people in the city of Duolun County.

The reason why it was built so large was ordered by the officials and people who were stationed here at that time.

Guan Fumin knew very well that Duolun County was easily attacked by the northern captives, so in order to take care of the local herdsmen, he deliberately built Duolun County bigger.

At that time, the Ming army stationed a guard and horse in Duolun County, so there was no need to worry about not being able to defend such a large city.

It's just that with the withdrawal of the Shangzhi Guard, the official Fu people were transferred from the three prefectures outside the Guanwai, and there was only one battalion of soldiers and horses newly arrived in Duolun County.

Three days ago, the emperor was preparing to hunt in the hunting ground in the north of Yanshan County, and the soldiers and horses close to Duolun County were transferred to four posts, leaving only Zhang Xianzhong, the sentry horse.

Now, he has to use 500 men to defend the city wall of Bali, and on average, each person has to guard four battlements, how can this be successful?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth, and after a quarter of an hour, the soldiers and officials of the Duolun County Soldiers and Horses Division also went to the city.

There are not many people in Duolun County, and there are not many soldiers and horses, but there are only about 300 people.

This point of people, plus the strength of the Gongwei battalion, is less than 900 people, and the defensive pressure is still very great.

Fortunately, with the influx of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep from the four city gates, some Mongolian herdsmen who submitted to the Ming Dynasty also took bows and arrows and scimitars to the city wall, and the number of defenders of the city still reached more than 3,000 for a time.

"It should be almost......

Looking at the more than 3,000 Han and Mongols guarding the city, Zhang Xianzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could take a sip of water, a "black line" appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves became louder and louder.

In the end, when the soldiers and horses stationed in Duolun County saw all the Mongol cavalry, all of them gasped.

The Mongolian people seemed to be standing all over the Duolun grassland, and their number was so large that Zhang Xianzhong and they could not see the grassland in the distance, but could only see dense human heads.

"Go! Call all the men in the city over the age of thirteen to the wall!"

Seeing this Mongolian army of no less than 50,000, Zhang Xianzhong's first reaction was to roar and ask people to call all the men in the city.

Not only that, but he also questioned the deputy guard, "Has the messenger been released?!"

"Let it go, it's estimated that you've run out for thirty miles by now!" The deputy guard was yelled at and hurriedly replied.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong calmed down a little.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Gongwei Battalion of Kaiping Prefecture have gathered in the Yanshan hunting ground 300 miles away, and according to the accelerated speed of the Tang cavalry, they can run to the hunting ground in four hours at most.

With the preparation of the army, they set out overnight and arrived in Duolun County in four days at most.

Reinforcements are enough, and with reinforcements, it is not difficult to hold the city for four days, because the Mongols do not have siege equipment, and they have to go thirty miles north to cut down trees at the southern foot of the Haravin Mountains thirty miles away to make siege equipment.

This back and forth is almost a day's time, so in general, he Zhang Xianzhong only needs to guard for three days.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the people around him, and then waved his hand:

"Let the royal shop in the city take out all the iron materials, and order all the blacksmiths in the city to make armor and weapons, and the women in the city take out the stones in their homes and polish them into stone bullets."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xianzhong ordered in an orderly manner, and the chief flag officer under his command also did what he said.

In short, under his military orders, Duolun County soon became a war machine.

The fifty Yanshan five-pound cannons left behind in the city were also pushed onto the city wall, and the Mongols outside the city also surrounded Duolun County in three layers and three layers outside, but they did not attack, but only observed Duolun County three miles away from the city wall.

"There are quite a few people stationed there, and it looks like it's not easy to fight."

On horseback, Lin Dan Khan held the captured thousands of miles

The mirror looked at Duolun County, and Suburi next to him also frowned:

"As I said earlier, it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to leave a flaw for us, instead of opening Pingfu, it is better to go to Shuofang Mansion in Hetao to fight grass valleys, where millions of people have been relocated and millions of acres of arable land have been cultivated, which is much richer than Kaiping Mansion."

"Once the Duoyan Mansion in the east and the Taining Mansion in the north learn of our attack, they will definitely send troops to support, and they will arrive in Duolun County in seven days at most."

"Okay......" Lin Danhan was not flustered at all, and the clairvoyant mirror in his hand also kept looking at Duolun County, and after putting down the clairvoyant mirror for a while, he said with a smile:

"The southerners gave me news that Zhu Youxiao is now hunting in Yanshan, three hundred and twenty miles to the southeast."

"That's where you used to be, you should know how to get there, right?"

"You ......" Subu frowned, he did know where Lin Dan Khan was talking about.

That place is called Daxingzhou by the Mongolians of Karaqin, located in the northern mountainous area of Yanshan, the mountain is ancient, similar to hills and the river valley is flat, especially the valley on both sides of the Yixun River is relatively wide.

Its ground is flat, and the soil is fertile, the green grass is fragrant in spring and summer every year, and it is called "eight mountains, one water and one field".

If you want to attack there, you can only attack with a small number of soldiers and horses.

Although Su Budi was surprised that the southerners that Lin Dan Khan knew could make the whereabouts of the Ming emperor clear, he did not think that the 40,000 iron horsemen after the current division of troops could go through the not wide Yanshan River Valley to attack Zhu Youxiao.

"Think about it, that place ......."

Saying that, Subu Di explained the situation in Daxing Prefecture to Lin Dan Khan, and finally added:

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a fool, he went out hunting, and he must have gathered a lot of soldiers and horses to defend him."

"You should know the combat power of Shangzhi, even if it is not the Shangzhi Guards but the Shangzhi Gongwei Battalion who are in charge of the Gongwei, it is not something we can provoke."

"10,000 Shangzhi Gong Guard Battalion is enough to cover Zhu Youxiao's withdrawal to the capital."

"This time, you let you set off lightly, the army only brought ten days of dried meat rations, and if you can't go back in ten days, we don't want to go back."

Su Budi said that he didn't want Lin Danhan to provoke Zhu Youxiao, but Lin Danhan couldn't listen to him at all, and said to himself:

"I naturally know that Zhu Youxiao is followed by a lot of people, and Kaiping Mansion alone was transferred by him with 20,000 people to defend him."

"It's just that I didn't plan to attack him with a large army, but you will lead a large army to feint on this Duolun County, and at the same time fight grass valleys against the surrounding market towns and villages."

"As for the affairs of Taining Mansion and Duoyan Mansion, you don't have to worry, the 20,000 people of Subati have already walked the mountain road and headed towards Duoyan Mansion to fight the grass valley."

"The soldiers and horses of Taining Mansion and Duoyan Mansion can't be drawn, so as long as you can attract the 20,000 soldiers and horses from Daxing Prefecture, I will have a way to lead my headquarters to the Ming Dynasty Emperor."

"You...... Where did you get the news?" Subu Di was a little surprised for a while, he didn't expect Lin Dan Khan to be able to find out the news of the Ming army so clearly, and even the fact that Zhu Youxiao transferred 20,000 people to defend his safari could be known to Lin Dan Khan.

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I have my way." Lin Danhan said with a smile, and touched the beard on his chin:

"Taking advantage of the bloody head of Zhu Youzhen and Nurhachi this time, let's grab a good wave."

"Regardless of whether we can catch the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or not, we will withdraw after robbing it anyway, and then wait for the spring of next year, and a few of our troops and horses will be able to move west."

"Where's Zhu Youzhen?" Subudi was still afraid of Zhu Youzhen, but Lin Danhan touched his beard and said with a smile:

"Zhu Youzhen? He is still more than 1,800 miles away in the capital."

"Don't say ten days, even fifteen days, he can't lead his troops to Yanshan."

With that, Lin Dan Khan took out a sheepskin map from his arms: "Draw the route, preferably the kind of road that the Ming people themselves don't know."

"......" Listening to Lin Dan Khan's words, although Subudi felt that it was not very reliable, he still took the map and cut his war horse with a knife and used his fingers

A route is drawn on the map.

"This road was opened thirteen years ago when we had a conflict with Su Nang, and it can go straight to the rear of Daxingzhou and cut off the road for Zhu Youxiao to go south."

"But after the Ming Court adjusted our relationship with Su Nang, the road was deserted, and now it is estimated that it has been overgrown with bushes."

"After you pass, if you find that it has been reopened, come back and don't go on."

Subdi still didn't want Lin Dan Khan to lead his troops south, he was not reluctant to Lin Dan Khan, but as soon as Lin Dan Khan died, then he and Suba were destined to be unable to unite and go on.

It's a pity that Lin Dan Khan didn't respond to him, but turned around and ordered his ten thousand households, and then the most elite eight thousand elite horsemen in Lin Dan Khan's headquarters were transferred out, Lin Dan Khan rode his horse to front them, turned his horse's head to face the dozens of generals standing in the first row, and said loudly:

"Today, I want to take you to Yanshan to catch a person who can give you glory and wealth, do you dare to go with me?!"

"Dare! Dare! Dare—"

The generals had long known about Lin Dan Khan's plan, so they followed suit, and the elite horsemen behind them also raised their swords to echo this.

"Good!" Looking at his eight thousand elite horses, Lin Dan Khan turned his horse's head proudly and rushed towards the Yanshan Mountain Range with eight thousand elite horses according to the map given by Subudi.

Looking at their distant backs, Subi could only hold his forehead: "I hope I can catch it......

"Meow—"

When Subu was holding his forehead, at the foot of a mountain in the northern mountains of Yanshan County, accompanied by the wailing of a leopard, a leopard was shot by an arrow and fell to the ground wailing.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from afar, and Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed in armor and slightly fatter than a few months ago, rode a white sweaty and bloody horse.

Looking at the whimpering leopard on the ground, he opened his bow and skillfully replenished an arrow.

The arrow hit the leopard in the chest, and with a few convulsions, it finally stopped moving, and dozens of Yiluan guard cavalry who followed Zhu Youxiao from a distance also hurriedly stepped forward, packed up the leopard and sent it back to the camp.

After finishing this, a man in his thirties dressed in the armor of the guard commander rode a horse and came to Zhu Youxiao to make a move:

"Long live, it's getting late, I'm afraid I'll have to camp in Daxingzhou today."

"Well, you can do it." Zhu Youxiao looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers with great interest, turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the camp.

After he showed his intention to return, the commander of the guard also followed him back to the camp with dozens of cavalry.

This camp is encamped on a low hill by the river, condescending, and the camp is surrounded by 2,000 cavalry guards of Yiluan, the garrison is not strict, but it is not very bad, it can only be said to be decent.

"Long Live ......"

Zhu Youxiao rode his horse back to the camp, and Wei Zhongxian, who had a shy old face, immediately greeted him, and while leading the horse for Zhu Youxiao, he helped him turn over and dismount.

After dismounting, Zhu Youxiao looked around, and then asked, "What about Ran'er and Baozhu?"

"The middle palace said that it was not early, so I went back to the Dading Palace in the south first, but His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still here just now, probably found something new and ran out to play."

"Hmm......" Wei Zhongxian explained with a smile on his face, and Zhu Youxiao also bowed slightly, and returned to his big tent with a bow and arrow.

After returning to the big tent that was large enough to accommodate 100 people after it was unfolded, Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair with a golden knife, and did not let people help him take off his armor, but waited for the whole person to cool down before asking people to help him take off his armor.

"There is nothing to hunt in this Daxingzhou, and it is estimated that you have to go to the mountains of the northeast to hunt tigers and bears."

Zhu Youxiao explained to Wei Zhongxian while letting people take off his armor, and Wei Zhongxian also smiled and nodded.

After taking off his armor, Wei Zhongxian watched Zhu Youxiao take a bath, and hurriedly retired and walked out of the big tent.

After he walked out of the tent, the commander of the Yiluan guard also made a gesture at the moment when he saw him walk out: "Uncle......

"Hmm..." Hearing his nephew call him, Wei Zhongxian answered, then looked around before saying:

"Liangqing, arrange the soldiers and horses well, our family always feels a little uneasy today."

"Uncle rest assured, there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Shangzhigong Guard Camp on the periphery of this hunting ground, even if the northern captives come from the nest, they can't help the safety of my uncle and Long Live and His Royal Highness." Wei Liangqing hurriedly responded, not daring to slack off.

"Well, you just know." Wei Zhongxian nodded, and then left absentmindedly.

However, at the same time as he left, Wei Liangqing also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that serving the emperor and his uncle was also a little tired, so he was ready to find a place to sit and rest for a while.

Just before he could sit down, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a Tang rode a horse up the low hill and almost rode into Zhu Youxiao's big tent.

"Whew-"

"Don't die?!"

Wei Liangqing hadn't reacted yet, but fortunately, the two Yiluan guards at the gate of the big tent were quick to reach out and pull the reins of the war horse before the war horse rushed into the big tent, and the war horse neighed at this, and the pond horse on his back was also thrown off and controlled by the rest of the people.

"Where did you come from and don't know the rules? How did your counsellors teach you?"

Seeing this scene, Wei Liangqing was stunned for a moment, and then trotted over, scolding at the same time.

Their movement made a noise to Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao, who had not yet taken off his clothes, walked out of the big tent wearing a middle coat.

Looking at the flustered Tang Qi, as well as Wei Liangqing and the others who surrounded him, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Tang Qi is coming, it is estimated that there is something important, let's talk about it......

The emperor spoke, and everyone let go of the hand that was suppressing Tang Qi, and Tang Qi quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed when he heard this:

"Hooray! Daxingying 800 miles urgent!"

"The Tiger Mound Earth has ordered tens of thousands of iron horsemen to knock on Duolun, and it is only three hundred miles away from here! Hurrah, please!"
