Zhu Yunxi opened the Northern Yuan State Book with great resentment, and his jaw dropped directly after seeing the content on it.

"What?"

"Beiyuan has changed khan again?"

Zhang Zongjun was also surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly walked up a few steps to Zhu Yunxi's side to watch.

If it was in the capital, he would not dare to make such a move if Zhang Zongjun was given a hundred dares. But who let this be the Naturalization City, Zhu Yunxi's temporary palace.

Zhu Yunxi's three masters are not there, only one cabinet minister is with him, as long as Zhu Yunxi doesn't speak, no one dares to care about him!

"Ugqi Hashha became a khan?"

Zhang Zongjun was also so surprised when he saw this content that his eyes almost fell to the ground, he had studied the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and knew that Ugqi Hashha did not have the qualifications to be a khan at all, so he supported several puppets one after another.

Otherwise, with the strength of the soldiers of the Tavarat clan, can it be the turn of someone else to be the khan?

However, now I don't know what happened to the Northern Yuan, Ugqi Hashha actually took the last step and completed a major breakthrough from a powerful minister to a khan!

"Your Highness, there must be something strange about this matter!"

"Even if Ugqi Hashha is the strongest in the Northern Yuan Khan's Court, and no one dares to provoke him, he doesn't have the courage to proclaim himself Khan!"

"Because with his background, the grassland tribes will not only not admit it, but will attack it en masse!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"Lone also thinks there is something wrong with this matter, and now it seems that we still don't pay enough attention to Beiyuan, so we should send some people over there to investigate......"

"Ahem......"

Zhang Zongjun looked at the Northern Yuan envoy kneeling below in embarrassment, and then coughed vigorously.

Zhu Yunxi reacted quickly when he heard the voice, he was also stupid, how could he mention the matter of planting spies in front of the envoy of the Northern Yuan?

"Special envoy of the Northern Yuan, did Ugqi Hashha really become your khan?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our steppe tribes collectively elected Lord Ugqi Hashha as the Khan. At present, under the leadership of the Mandate of Heaven Khan, the 72 divisions of our steppe have formed alliances with more than a dozen countries in the west, including the Golden Horde, Chagatai Khanate, and Timurid Khanate. ”

"If Da Ming is unwilling to conclude a peace treaty with my Dayuan and return my Dayuan herdsmen, my Dayuan will not be afraid of you!"

Although the envoy of the Northern Yuan tried his best to promote the strength of the Great Yuan, Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Zongjun still heard a sense of weakness in his tone.

If Beiyuan is really that powerful, there is no need to come to make peace with them.

Moreover, it was also written in the document that as long as the Ming agreed to the Northern Yuan's request for peace and did not send troops to attack the Northern Yuan, they could even form a brotherly alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

However, in Zhu Yunxi's opinion, even if Da Ming proposed to make them ministers, they would not hesitate to agree.

After all, with their national conditions in the Northern Yuan, they could not resist the Ming Iron Cavalry at all.

But that's not what I want!

What I want is a clean grassland, not a hungry wolf with a ghost in his heart and a cold child from time to time to pounce on Daming and bite Daming!

Zhang Zongjun saw that Zhu Yunxi's face was not good-looking, so he hurriedly replied for him first.

"Come on, take the envoy down to rest first!"

Zhu Yunxi glared at Zhang Zongjun in displeasure, annoyed that he was troublesome, but he did not stop the guards from taking the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty down.

After the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was taken away, Zhang Zongjun hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Please treat the crime of trespassing!"

"Humph!"

"Now you are a cabinet assistant by Lone's side, if Lone is to cure your crime, who will work for Lone!"

Zhang Zongjun smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

"His Royal Highness is angry, Weichen is just worried that His Highness will not be able to control his anger and say something that should not be said."

Zhu Yunxi frustrated when he heard this, and threw the Northern Yuan Guoshu on the table.

"Lao Zhang, what do you think about this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zongjun hurriedly nodded.

"Your Highness, this is a good thing!"

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there have been more than a dozen Northern Expeditions, not to completely destroy the Northern Yuan, but to make the Northern Yuan surrender!"

"Now that Beiyuan has softened, as long as we add another fire, we can make Beiyuan surrender and fulfill His Majesty's long-cherished wish, wouldn't it be a great thing!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Zongjun in surprise, and asked with an unhappy face.

"Do you really think that's a good thing?"

"Although the Ming Dynasty is now strong, the Northern Yuan is intimidated by the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. But who can guarantee that the Northern Yuan will still surrender after decades, hundreds of years? ”

Zhang Zongjun smiled indifferently when he heard this.

"Your Highness, your thoughts are too unfounded......

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ruthless enough against the Xiongnu, and directly destroyed the Xiongnu. But after the Western Jin Dynasty, why did the grassland tribes abuse the Central Plains again? ”

"The Tang Dynasty was very strong in its war against the Turks, but didn't the Uighurs in the late Tang Dynasty still plunder Chang'an, causing the Guanzhong region to be ten rooms and nine empty?"

"The grassland is vast, the Xiongnu and Xianbei were defeated, Xianbei and the Turks were defeated, the Turks and the Jurchens were defeated, the Jurchens and the Mengyuan ...... were defeated."

"Now, even if His Highness raises millions of troops and completely annihilates the Northern Yuan, there will still be other grassland tribes popping up a hundred years later to rob our Ming Dynasty as usual."

"For our Daming, instead of pondering how to destroy the Northern Yuan, it is better to ponder how to always have absolute suppressive strength over the grassland, so that they will never dare to rebel and dare not use troops against my Daming!"

Although Zhu Yunxi did not agree with Zhang Zongjun's words, he had to admit that what he said made sense.

As Zhang Zongjun said, even if the Ming Dynasty defeated the Northern Yuan, a Manchu Qing would emerge a hundred years later and continue to abuse his people.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a one-and-done solution, and there is only continuous high-pressure rule, so that it does not dare to rebel.

"Alas!"

"Lone admits that you have a point, but Lone is still unwilling in his heart!"

"Moreover, the Hu people are repeated, who knows when they will rebel again, and it will be more troublesome to toss back and forth when the time comes, so it is better to subdue them in one go!"

Zhang Zongjun nodded affirmatively when he heard this.

"Your Highness has a point."

"The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue, even if they accept their request for peace, they must first be subdued on the battlefield."

"It's just that in this way, we have to make some adjustments to the strategy of the Northern Yuan, only annihilating its main force, so that it is unable to plunder the Ming Dynasty, instead of combing from east to west as we thought at the beginning......"

Since he wanted to change the strategic plan, Zhu Yunxi of course had to call Chang Sheng in to discuss it together. After all, his second uncle, has eaten sand here in Naturalization City for several years, and he is far more familiar with Beiyuan than himself.

With Chang Sheng's joining, it is much more convenient for the three of them to discuss. Whenever Zhu Yunxi put forward an idea, Chang Sheng could immediately mark it on the map, and tell the detailed topography of this place and what kind of troops are suitable for fighting.

The three of them discussed for a day, and it was not until dark that they roughly determined the future battle plan.

In general, the Ming Dynasty still attacked the Northern Yuan in three ways, but it reduced most of its strength and filled many surrendered Mengyuan soldiers.

Moreover, in terms of combat methods, the previous war of annihilation was also canceled, and it was changed to only attack the living forces of the Northern Yuan, so that they would completely surrender and accept the alliance under the city of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the complete domination of the grassland, the civil and military forces went hand in hand, suppressing by force while invading the culture on the other hand, changing the customs of the Mengyuan people in terms of phonetics, writing, and customs, so that they could be completely returned to the king.

According to Zhu Yunxi's words, in the future northern grasslands, there will only be Mongolian people who speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no so-called Mengyuan.

Zhang Zongjun gave high praise to Zhu Yunxi's statement, and believed that it should be written as a national policy and instructed future generations to implement it.

It's just that when he thought that the imperial grandson had no heirs, Zhang Zongjun swallowed back the words behind.

Although Zhu Yunxi revised his battle plan against the Northern Yuan, he still did not immediately accept their request for peace, but categorically refused and put forward a series of harsh conditions.

For example, he called the minister Nagong, sent the sons of various tribal leaders to study in the Ming Dynasty, and accepted the orders of the Ming Dynasty, and accepted the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty to assist him in governing the country, etc.

One of these conditions was taken out at random, and they were all inserted into the lung tube of Beiyuan.

However, Zhu Yunxi didn't expect them to agree, if they really agreed so happily, then he would save trouble, directly send officials to take over and manage the Mobei grassland, and then use the strong and leading economic, cultural, and political systems of the Ming Dynasty to slowly assimilate them, wouldn't it save tens of millions of taels of silver in military expenses?

After Zhu Yunxi rejected the Northern Yuan's request for peace and sent troops to escort the Northern Yuan envoys back to Mobei, he sent a large number of agents to the Northern Yuan in batches, always paying attention to the political situation of the Northern Yuan, exploring the specific location of the Northern Yuan Khan's court, and always paying attention to the movements of the major tribes on the grassland.

At the same time, he also ordered Chang Sheng to lead the army to sweep like Mobei, and continue to create a deterrent force for the Northern Yuan, so that they would not dare to easily cross the desert and intrude on the Hetao and Monan regions that were recuperating.

After Zhu Yunxi was busy with these, he began to calmly dispatch troops, and put it aside if he didn't fight, but first he had to put on a posture that he was not afraid of fighting.

Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Lao Zhu sat lazily on the dragon chair, reviewing the prepared folds of the cabinet ticket, and then listlessly put a red stamp on it.

Although this way of handling state affairs has made him feel a lot less involved. But compared to the previous one, this method really relieved him of too much burden. Not only has it greatly improved his work efficiency, but the chance of making mistakes has also been greatly reduced.

Therefore, Lao Zhu could only slander while accepting cabinet benefits from the anti-grandson.

Just as Lao Zhu was stamping a big seal on a disaster relief fold, he suddenly saw a blank fold.

This made Lao Zhu feel energetic all of a sudden, he hadn't seen such a clean performance for a long time!

Lao Zhu immediately rolled up his sleeves and was ready to make a big deal on this fold without a ticket, but suddenly found that there was a problem with the signature of this fold, and it turned out to be the reverse grandson who threw him, the imperial grandfather, down and ran out to play in the mountains and rivers alone!

Lao Zhu was angry when he saw the words "Sun Chen Zhu Yunxi's head", and he picked up the fold and slammed it on the table on the spot.

"This rebel grandson even has the face to write an excerpt for us!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he hurriedly gave the eunuchs on the side a look, and asked them to sneak out quickly, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.

After everyone retreated, Qin Deshun stepped forward boldly.

"Emperor, Your Highness has written back thousands of miles away, and his psychology is still worried about your ......"

"Look at what he wrote, did he mention us half a time in the whole memorabilia!"

"Emperor, you know, the slave doesn't know how many words......"

Lao Zhu snorted when he heard this.

"It's okay, let's read it to you!"

"Sun Chen, Zhu Yunxi, paused!"

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson is going to fight Beiyuan, you send Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Li Jinglong, Ping Bao'er, Geng Bingwen and others over to assist your grandson in giving Beiyuan a fatal blow!"

"In addition, military food and grass still need to be raised......"

"The guards from all over the country will also assemble to the Naturalization City......"

Qin Deshun said tentatively when he heard this.

"Emperor, the slave and maid seem to have mentioned you when I heard His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, how can you say that you didn't mention it half a time?"

Lao Zhu was so angry when he heard this.

"He's also mentioning it?"

"He didn't ask us how we were doing recently, nor did he ask us if we had a good appetite, let alone if we were angry......

"This ......"

Just when Qin Deshun didn't know what to say, he suddenly heard a eunuch outside the door whispering.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Anhui asks to see you!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he snorted angrily and waved his big hand.

"Let him in!"

After a while, Zhu Yunwen walked into the main hall with low eyebrows and saluted respectfully to old Zhu.

"Meet the imperial grandfather, my grandson has said hello to the imperial grandfather!"

"Let's be safe!"

"What did you do when you entered the palace today?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes turned red when he heard this.

"Grandson...... The grandson didn't ...... Nothing was wrong......"

"It's just that I haven't seen the imperial grandfather for a long time, and I am worried about the imperial grandfather's health, and I want to ask the imperial grandfather if he eats well and sleeps soundly."

"If the imperial grandfather is annoying, let the grandson look at the door, and the grandson will be relieved as long as he sees the imperial grandfather in good health, woo woo woo woo ......"

Lao Zhu saw Zhu Yunwen crying at every turn, and immediately showed a disgusted expression on his face.

"Cry what cry!"

"Aren't we dead yet, what are you crying in a hurry?"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't stand such words, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed on the spot.

"The emperor's grandfather is angry, the grandson is not intentional, the grandson is just ......"

Lao Zhu saw him so nervous, and his heart suddenly softened. Thinking that he is not good at words, but with a sincere and filial heart, I feel more pity for him in my heart.

"We're fine, we don't blame you, you've seen it, you've asked it, you can go back with peace of mind, right?"

"Hmm!"

"The grandson saw that the imperial grandfather was in his prime, and his health was healthy, and he was relieved."

"Grandpa Huang will continue to deal with state affairs, and the grandson will leave first."

Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh after seeing Zhu Yunwen leave.

"Alas!"

"If that rebel grandson has half of this child's filial piety, we won't be so angry......"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to give Zhu Yunxi a big patch.

"Emperor, in fact, you don't know, the reason why His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun didn't ask about your current situation in the song is that he already knew about it through other channels!"

"What?"

"The imperial grandson will send a telegram back every day to ask about your diet and daily life. From how much you eat each day to what time you sleep every day, it's all very detailed. ”

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu's expression was slightly pale when he heard this, but he was still faintly resentful in his heart.

"Why are you hiding this from us?"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he hurriedly called out to hit the sky.

"Emperor, it's not that the slave wants to deceive you, it's really the emperor's grandson who has issued a gag order, saying that true filial piety is not about what you say, but about what you usually do. It's like the cold salad that the emperor ate this morning, which was specially instructed by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson to make it in the imperial dining room, saying that improving the dietary fiber of the emperor will help gastrointestinal peristalsis......"

"There is also the goose down big goose that the Needle Work Bureau presented two days ago, which was also urged by the emperor's grandson in a telegram, saying that he was worried that you were too old to stand the autumn coolness......"

Lao Zhu was full of disbelief when he heard this.

"That rebel grandson has such filial piety?"

"Doesn't he wish we died sooner so that he could come back and inherit the throne?"

"Emperor, your words are unjustly killing His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness knows that you said this, he will definitely be wronged......"

"Humph!"

"We don't believe your nonsense, if he is really so filial, then the telegraph office must have an archive, right?"

"Let's go to the telegraph office now, and if we can't find these archives, let's see how we clean you up!"
