Zhu Youzhen's words, with a strong killing intent, made everyone in the hall awe-inspired.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been fighting in all directions over the years, except for the original Jiannu, Zhu Youzhen has not shown such hostility to any countries or tribes. Most of them are mainly incorporated after being subdued.

It stands to reason that the loss of a soldier would not cause His Majesty so much anger in any way, but at this time, no one dared to question or even ask.

"Alright, that's it. Everyone, get moving, and make all preparations before August 15! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, launch a full-scale war against our country! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone responded in unison and slowly retreated.

In the next time, Daming was still calm, but some functional departments were busy and entered a state of preparation.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhiji, all the people in the Beijing camp actively trained, and the training changed from one training every two days on weekdays to one training every day.

Ghost Festival.

The annual Midyear Festival.

A group of Mongol soldiers entered the capital after passing through many checkpoints.

Judging from the formation of this group of Mongolian soldiers, it is clear that it is a unit escorting prisoners. And there were only two prisoners, one large and one small.

The small one is naturally Ezhe, and the big one is his uncle, Gui Yingcha.

It's not the first time Guiying has entered the capital, but every time the capital brings him a different feeling, and this time is no exception.

In just over a year, the capital seems to have become different again.

But as far as the outer city is concerned, it has expanded a lot, and construction has begun outside the city walls, and the concrete roads are straight and flat, and on both sides of the road are patches of houses, which are clearly inhabited by many people. The least changed is the inner city, which is still bustling with pedestrians, and you can see all kinds of people coming and going from the south to the north everywhere.

"Uncle, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Hmm." Gui Yingcha nodded and looked at the various buildings in the distance. "This is the capital!"

There was an indescribable complexity in his tone, remembering that the last time he came to the capital, it was on behalf of the Khan, who had carried out a lot of trade with the Ming Dynasty at that time, and had also obtained far more wealth than before. At that time, what a beautiful scenery it was outside the Guan, although there was no name confirmed, but it was indeed a well-deserved Mongolian overlord.

But everything changed when the Great Khan contracted smallpox.

If you want to live, you have to temporarily agree to Daming's conditions. But they all forgot one thing, that is, how could such a powerful Ming tolerate their deception?

If the Great Khan had led his troops to submit to the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, would the result be different?

Definitely.

In that case, he will not be escorted into the country in this way, but will continue to sweat and sit firmly in his second position, right?

If time were to come back, I wonder if the Great Khan would make another choice.

Or maybe not, after all, how can an ambitious Khan be willing to be subordinate?

How beautiful the sweat was at that time, and how embarrassed I was at this time.

Recalling the eventful years of the past, Hudun Rabbit had endless emotions in his heart, but in the end it just turned into a long sigh.

"Ezhe, what do you think of this place?"

"It's big, it's bustling. There were a lot of things I hadn't seen and a lot of food that I hadn't eaten, and it seemed like most of them were happy, and they were very neatly dressed, and although not everyone was well dressed, I didn't see a single person who was not well dressed.

Is the entire Ming Dynasty as prosperous as the capital? Ezhe pondered for a moment, and said what he had observed along the way, and what he had summarized.

"No, this is the capital, so it is naturally more prosperous. The people here are also relatively wealthy. But in some unseen corners, there is still darkness. Greedy officials, gentry who oppress the people, are still not uncommon. But compared to before, it is much more convergent. Emperor Chongzhen promulgated a series of decrees that were beneficial to the people, such as spreading the land into the mu and returning the fire to the public, which greatly reduced the burden on the people. He also appointed a number of capable and practical officials to make the best use of their talents, so that they could give full play to their abilities and work for the well-being of the people.

In addition, he also vigorously rectified the officialdom and punished some corrupt officials. Although it does not solve the root cause of corruption, it is much better. The Ming Dynasty, which has been founded for more than 200 years, was once again revitalized in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

They eliminated Jiannu with extremely tough means, formed a powerful fleet, recovered Taiwan, took Lüsong, recaptured Jiaozhi, plus the initiative to belong to North Korea, and we once stayed in Monan, at this time, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has far exceeded the area at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Not only that, but he also paid considerable attention to contacts with distant Western countries, and formed an organization called Global Commerce, doing business all over the world, and earning countless silver money for the Ming Dynasty.

Over the years, when I was doing business with them on behalf of the Khan, I learned a lot about the Han culture, but I couldn't figure out how he did all this when he ascended the throne as a sixteen-year-old boy! ”

"Sixteen!" Ezhe's eyes widened, that wasn't much bigger than himself. "How old is he now?"

"I'm only twenty-four."

"Ahh

Ezhe was deeply shocked, and Gui Yingcha's words outlined for him a young, wise, and eloquent imperial monarch.

A lord of Zhongxing who ascended to the throne when he was not a few years older than him and turned the tide.

If it were you, would you be able to do that?

It seems that even Father Khan doesn't have this ability, right?

"The first time I saw him, it was Chongzhen seven years ago, he drove the expedition in person, and he led dozens of military cadets to the battlefield.

"My father Khan?"

"Yes."

"He was only seventeen then, right?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, Ezhe wailed in his heart, it was too strong.

When encountering such an enemy, it is really not a loss for Father Khan to be defeated.

Unknowingly, Ezhe threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Zhu Youzhen had admired. There is no one who does not worship a hero, not to mention that this hero is so strong that even the enemy has to look up to it.

The two chatted all the way, and the team, under the command of the soldiers of the inner city, stopped at the gate of a small mansion.

"Brothers of Tumut, today is the Midyear Festival, the old men from all over the court are busy, you stay here first, and when tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, someone will come to contact you."

An officer walked over and said to the leader of Tumut.

"And the two of them?"

"I still need your brothers to take care of it for two more days, but don't worry, when you enter the capital, it will be difficult for them to fly away."

The officer said with a smile, and looked at Ezhe twice.
