The heavy snow continued, and the days on the steppe were not easy, and in recent years, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke had conquered the east and west, and finally defeated the west of Warat, but his Dayan Khan's position was not stable, because he was still facing the situation of the dictatorship of the ministers with different surnames.

Dayan Khan led 30,000 households on the left flank, but the 30,000 large and small lords on the right wing, Yongsheb, Ordos, and Tumut, did not completely obey Dayan Khan's leadership.

This year, he was already thirty years old, and he became a full adult, and he must establish his own merits. When he was still a child, his adoptive mother and wife Mandu Haihatun took him to warat, galloping across the desert, and the westward migration of the Warat people was more or less due to Mandu Haihatun.

Now, these right-wing ministers with different surnames and the Ming Dynasty, he can no longer rely on women.

Winter is like eternal night to the grassland, the sun god no longer gives the sun a warm sun, the north wind calls at every turn, some sheep and cattle in the tribe will freeze to death, and if people lack food and warm clothing, the same is true.

But since the eleventh year of Hongzhi, the influence of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty has increased, and he has struck at several merchants who have a good relationship with the tribe, withdrawn the original Datong general army, and placed a cavalry unit in Datong.

To the west of Datong, Gansu, Yansui, and Yulin set up trilateral commanders. At the beginning, Wang Yue made them suffer when he was there, and later, although Qin Hong did not take the initiative to fight, this person also trained and prepared for war all day long.

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, they could still take advantage of some advantages, but in the fourteenth, fifteenth, and seventeenth years, it was actually more and more difficult to fight.

The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty didn't know what was going on, and kept expanding the cavalry force of Datong, although they could avoid this cavalry force, but it also made them feel the pressure.

Because they can no longer offend so casually, what if the news is leaked, these cunning Ming men come to wait and transfer the main force of the cavalry troops to the place they want to attack?

It is even more difficult to cross the Great Wall, they used to rely on the horse to be fast and could grab and run, but now they also have the possibility of being entangled. With just one loss, the vultures on the right flank will open their mouths.

The good news is that as soon as the seventeenth year of Hongzhi arrives, Qin Hong will not be able to do it.

changed to a person named Yang Yiqing.

They don't know this person yet, maybe they can check it out.

Anyway, you have to be careful in Datong.

The biggest impact of this, in fact, is that after the eleventh year of Hongzhi, their tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty was cut off, it is said that the Ming prince did not allow it, he is really too hateful, if there is no trade, there is no tea, salt, food and medicine on the grassland, and now it seems that it can only be maintained by smuggling.

The deterioration of the external environment is such that even those bastards with the right wing do not take him seriously.

Dayan Khan's start was much more difficult than Zhu Houzhao's.

Mandu Haihatun took the hand of his little daughter, who was only ten years old, and put on a warm coat made of sheepskin for the male of the grassland in the cold wind.

The woman knew what her man was thinking as she looked at the south worriedly.

"This year's looting in Daming has not been as expected, there is not enough food, there will definitely be people starving to death, and if there is not enough cloth, there will definitely be people freezing to death......"....

Snowflakes fell on Batu Mengke's beard and swayed in the wind.

The flat-faced man showed a ruthlessness, "I can only wait for next year, and when the winter is over, let's fight again!"

Mandu Haihatun was also a little worried, "Don't worry. The changes in the Ming Dynasty are slow, and they can't see anything in the past few years, but their little prince must be prepared. Therefore, they chose the border guards who could train the warriors, and put the horse farms in order, fed the war horses, and forcibly levied silver from their south to feed the cavalry, I think they must have wanted to break into the grasslands, rob our cattle and sheep, and trample our tribes!"

If you don't get it right, you won't recover.

"Afraid of what? The grasslands and deserts are our world, and no matter how many troops they have, it is useless if they can't find us."

There is some truth to it.

So the current border pass is just one word, boil.

The Ming Dynasty gradually strengthened its military strength and tightened material control, while the Tatars were like a fierce tiger, rushing everywhere to bite to death

Take a bite of meat down and eat it.

The Tatars and the Ming people are not having a good time, and they are all suffering.

Fortunately, the cavalry rations of the Ming Dynasty in Datong were guaranteed.

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the command of this army gave Yang Shangyi the power to directly surrender to the crown prince. Of course, its name is not called Mi Zhe, so it is too easy to cause misunderstanding among the courtiers, and its official name is "Report on the Semi-annual Development of the Daming Iron Cavalry".

At the earliest, Yang Shangyi didn't know how to write. But after several years of development, now he already knows the prince's requirements, first of all, he must write an overview, how many people, how many horses, what situation they face, what difficulties they encounter, what solutions they have, what they don't solve, what support they need, what contributions they make, and so on.

This semi-annual report, the prince reads it personally, and the fire paint seals it, and no one is allowed to open it halfway, and those who open it without permission die.

Therefore, the household department does not dare to owe salaries, and the military department does not dare to owe horses, in case he makes a small report to Yang Shangyi, the prince will definitely trouble him. Therefore, the biggest enemy of this cavalry unit is actually itself, there is no shortage of external resources, and only internal corruption and laziness can destroy them.

For this reason, Zhu Houzhao stuffed many students from the military academy into it.

If it is said that Jinyiwei is overbearing because of the name of the Son of Heaven's army, then Yang Shangyi's Ming Iron Cavalry is pretentious because of the name of the prince's army.

Pride, the military must be proud.

Sometimes, they will also make very dangerous and arrogant actions, such as dozens of people and dozens of horsemen dare to go out of the city to patrol the border!

Ma Yihuai is leading such an army, the winter is cold, but fortunately they have extremely thick cotton clothes, straddle the horse, carry a big knife, gallop on the grassland.

「…… Judging from these years, as long as there are many scattered Tatars in winter, the Tatars will inevitably raise troops on the border in the second year." Ma Yihuai's second son, Ma Rong, has gradually grown into a strategic, "It must be that there is a lack of food in the tribe, and if they don't come to rob it, they won't survive."

"And as long as they don't take advantage of much, there will definitely be a lot of scattered Tatars this season."

It's a cycle, and the reason for it is very simple, live.

Maybe a small group of troops came over to engage in the smuggling trade, exchanging sheep and horses for food and clothing. Clothing is really crucial, the grassland people do not have enough weaving skills, and there are not enough clothes to wear in winter, no matter how strong they are, they can't compete with nature. ….

"And this year, we've already met the fourth batch." Ma Yihuai grabbed the horse rope, and the grimness on his face could be seen clearly.

The dozens of soldiers around him knew that this was a lot.

"Maybe, the fifth batch." Ma Rong pointed to a black spot in the distance.

"Someone!" The eldest son, Ma Sheng, has always been eager and impulsive to fight.

As long as they have made meritorious contributions, they will easily be known to the prince, and even Yang Shangyi does not dare to hide much, because ...... You are not the only one who has a relationship with the crown prince.

There may be nobles here.

Therefore, it also leads to them being more courageous than ordinary troops, and many people from the military academy are literate, and it is different if they are literate, not to mention fighting for the nation and the Ming Dynasty, at least they also know how to fight for themselves and be rewarded for meritorious service!

So as soon as Ma Sheng took the lead, dozens of people behind him suddenly became excited, screaming and riding horses to follow.

"Dad, I'll go too, and kill the thief with my eldest brother! Exchange the head of the Tartar for the bounty!"

Ma Yihuai pulled out a scimitar and pointed it straight at the sky, "Up!

……

……

Zhu Houzhao could only feel a different feeling when he watched the announcement on the grassland, just a few hundred miles away from Beijing, there was a group of soldiers killing the enemy every day.

And Jingshi doesn't seem to feel that Daming actually has a 'battle' every year.

How should the officials be or how should they be.

This country is a big chessboard, while everyone's eyes are on Zhejiang, he also has to pay attention to the north, and the news from the north constantly shows that the Tatar offense in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi is almost a high probability event.

So today's early dynasty, maybe some people think

The crown prince is targeting the military department, and in fact, Zhu Houzhao is already preparing for what will happen in a few months.

National affairs, how can too many personal preferences be involved.

「…… According to His Royal Highness's strategy, after the establishment of the Shaofu, the silver in and out of the household only went through the household department, and where it was spent, it was published on the "Ming Pao" every year to ensure the realization of "take from the people, use it for the people, eight words, so the household department thought that in this way, it could increase the income of the imperial court and improve the ability of the imperial court to cope with disasters." Why not have a sum of money that can be used where the people need it most?"

In the court, the dispute about Shaofu continued.

Previously, Zhang Mao, who 'cooperated, now began to support it again', and the prince set up a Shaofu, and he played: "The old precedent of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties was in front, because there was a Shaofu, and most of the people's wealth was robbed by the imperial court, and the ministers believed that with His Royal Highness's talents, they might be able to take it from the people and use it for the people. But I am afraid that the king of the future generations will only take it from the people and not use it from the people, and at that time, I will be the people in the future!"

Zhu Houzhao had been listening to this kind of dispute for a while, and when he felt that it was almost the same, he spoke out to stop it, "I know that many people think that Zhang Demao's words make sense. However, speaking of which, the institution of Shaofu existed in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, but the Yuan Dynasty did not, but the Yuan Dynasty was only a hundred years old. What's to blame for this?"

"The prince's words are reasonable." Gu Zuo, the left attendant of the household department, said loudly, "Qin has the hero of the unification of the six countries, and the second will die! Tang Youzhenguan Kaiyuan's prosperity will eventually return to dust! Their rise and fall are not because of a young government. Even if there is no Shaofu, as long as the lord is dark and mediocre, it won't be long before the people's hearts will be lost!" ….

Zhu Houzhao nodded, this was what he wanted to say, "Gu Shilang's words are insightful. That's the case with Shaofu, Gu Zuo ordered Shaofu to go to Zhejiang to sort out and confiscate shops, workshops and other property, and the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also sent one person to accompany them, and how to judge it should be based on the Ming Law. In addition, when I asked you to tidy up, I didn't tell you to go and grab the shops of the law-abiding people with your eyes closed."

He moved his eyes and looked at that Zhang Mao, this person is stubborn, but in fact, as a leader, employing people is art, and different personalities should use him in different places.

You can't expect everyone to put your interests first, such people are hard to come by. It's more about 'using the right people'.

It's Liu Daxia, and Zhu Houzhao can give him a value of 'cleaning up empty salaries. Compared to slashing him with a knife, it is obvious which one is more beneficial to the country.

And this chapter is also very useful.

Zhejiang's matter, it's not that Zhu Houzhao trusts Gu Zuo, there are too many entanglements of interests in it, silver is flying all over the sky, and there must be a lot of people staring at it from the local area to Beijing, maybe sometimes Gu Zuo can't make up his mind.

There is only an old man like Zhang Mao, hey, he doesn't give the face of the prince. Anyway, you're not right, it's just not right, I care so much about you, or you'll kill me.

Many people want to imitate this approach and set up this character, but unfortunately they can't control their greed behind them and become a hypocrite, so their weaknesses are obvious.

Only those who are really honest and honest and willing to abide by poverty like Zhang Mao, then Zhu Houzhao really wants to give some face, although power can also be used, but when it is used on this kind of person, power becomes violence, and violence is the worst use of power.

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

There is no shortage of wise monarchs and sages of their own people, but there are not many good ones that can be used even by people who are not their own."

Han Wen saw it with his own eyes, and naturally he was as happy as Wang Wei, "It's a pity that the old man is not as young as you, an old heavenly official, and I can't see the Ming atmosphere that His Highness governed in his prime."

"Why did Da Situ say this, you, you have to live longer, a little longer......

Their voices are getting farther and smaller... Leaving a quiet Forbidden City behind you...
