Chapter 111: Hunting Grounds, Tatars as Prey! Shoot me! Nearest the king nearest the gallows!
At the banquet, light singing and dancing.
Zhu Qiyu didn't drink a drop of wine, he raised the water in the glass, and replied to Yan: "I can agree to your invitation, but I have one condition, Tatar will first offer 100,000 horses." β
"I don't want you to breed horses, I just need strong horses."
"Then, I will open the border trade with you and trade with you."
"I have granted all the trade you wanted."
"Even I can sell weapons directly to you, what you want, just list them and discuss them directly with Honglu Temple, since the Tatars are obedient, I will allow anything!"
Zhu Qiyu also fought hard.
Yan Da's face is full of greed, Da Ming is willing to sell weapons?
Then you must buy firearms, after Dayuan, there is no shortage of blacksmiths in the grassland, and iron can be bought through smuggling, and what makes the grassland greedy is the firearms of the Ming Dynasty!
"Respected Tian Khan, the herdsmen will meet all your requirements, but it takes time to raise war horses, please the Great Tian Khan to start border trade first, and bring two hundred horses from your courtiers' mission, please accept the Great Tian Khan!"
Yan Da brought horses and gold, which were used to bribe Ming officials, and it was better to give them directly to the emperor.
"It's still filial piety, so I'll accept it reluctantly."
Zhu Qiyu bowed: "Sit, drink this cup full!" β
Yan replied and drank down.
"Ouchi's wine is the best in the world." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of water, looking intoxicated.
Yan Da wanted to spit it out, this wine is too spicy, this must be the first pot of wine, it smells very fragrant, and it doesn't choke its nose, but it can directly suffocate the donkey.
"Hahaha, my servant is a good drinker!"
Zhu Qiyu gave Xiao Weizhen a look and asked the officials of Honglu Temple to pour them hard.
But it has to be said that those who engage in diplomacy have a good amount of alcohol.
Yan Da drank a few glasses, his face turned red, and he didn't get drunk, this is a high-grade liquor treasured by the Imperial Palace.
"My servant."
"Your Majesty is here!" Delay can bend and stretch.
"When will the 100,000 war horses given to Daming be escorted to Daming?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty does not dare to deceive the Great Heavenly Khan, it does take time to raise war horses, please wait patiently for the Great Heavenly Khan, your loyal servants will definitely send the war horses to Daming!" Yan promised to kiss Zhu Qiyu's shoes.
Zhu Qiyu thought he was dirty: "Specific time!" β
"Within a month!"
Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, it seems that 100,000 horses are going to be less? Are the Tatars so rich?
No, even if I asked for a million horses, they would have agreed!
The Tatar coup d'Γ©tat is very likely to be completed within a month, and neither the Taishi nor Manduru is in power will recognize these 100,000 war horses!
I'm having fun!
"No, I don't want to wait that long, ten days, I want to see the war horse!"
Yan Da's face was full of bitterness: "Great Heavenly Khan, unless you put wings on your faithful servant, there is nothing you can do about your faithful servant." β
"Is there too many war horses to raise? Or is it a matter of distance? Zhu Qiyu asked quietly.
"Great Heavenly Khan, both factors have ......"
"It's okay, I can send someone to the grassland to take over, there are not enough horses, and I can use cattle and sheep to settle the account, I will send someone to drive it back." Zhu Qiyu said.
Yan A's face stiffened, why didn't the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty fool around?
"The Great Heavenly Khan ......"
"Alright, you return immediately, and I will send an embassy to follow!"
Zhu Qiyu paused, turned his head and asked Fang Ying: "How many movable soldiers does the Beijing Division have?" β
Fang Ying is forming a regimental battalion.
Tonight, there was a banquet for hospitality, and Zhu Qiyu invited him over, and there were some things to talk about.
"Your Majesty, the Jingshi can move the number of 50,000!"
Fang Ying counted the 50,000 people stationed in the hands of Fan Guang who was stationed at Juyong Pass.
Warat was defeated, and there was no need for Juyong Pass to guard so many people.
The Beijing camp led by Fan Guang naturally needs to return to Beijing, and the Beijing camp in Xuanzhen will return to Beijing one after another.
"I will send an army of 50,000, plus soldiers and horses from Liaodong Town, to receive 100,000 horses on the grassland!"
Zhu Qiyu replied to Yan: "My servant, you set off in the starry night, take my handwritten message, and go to Liaodong to transfer troops. β
Yan replied directly dumbfounded.
You're in a hurry, aren't you? Didn't let the mission finish a single meal, and drove back?
Hu Hu and the others pursed their lips and wanted to laugh, but the emperor was not in a hurry, but picked.
This wine banquet, I don't know how painful it is.
"Let's go."
Zhu Qiyu saw that the Tatar mission was still eating: "Don't eat, take down the banquet." β
You're really picky!
Hu Hu and the others rolled their eyes.
Yan Da was also dumbfounded: "Great Heavenly Khan......"
"Alright, let's pack up and go back."
Zhu Qiyu stood up, pointed at Fang Ying and said, "This person is Nan Hebo, my son and daughter's family, and I sent him and you to Tatar." β
"Fang Ying, you go and reorganize the army and lead the elite 50,000 people. An hour later, they set out for Tatar without a moment's delay, you know? β
Fang Ying didn't know what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.
He is conscripting more than 30,000 people, how can there be 50,000 people, and they are all new soldiers, and they don't even know how to use weapons, how can they go to the battlefield?
But when the emperor said that, he answered loudly and retreated heroically, full of momentum.
"Prepare a basin of cold water for my servant, let him sober up, return to Mobei overnight, and raise 100,000 horses for the greatest heavenly khan of the grassland." Zhu Qiyu stood up, looking excited.
Wang Wei and Yi Ming couldn't help laughing, and they couldn't hold back their laughter.
Poof!
Yan Da knelt on the ground, and couldn't pretend anymore: "Great Heavenly Khan, your servant has deceived you!" β
"Huh?"
The excited expression on Zhu Qiyu's face stiffened, and his voice was gloomy: "Say it again!" β
"The great Heavenly Khan, the Tatars are poor, and they can't muster a hundred thousand horses!" Yan replied tremblingly.
"That's it, for the sake of being so deferential to the Marquis of Guishun, let's reduce it by 10,000 or 90,000 horses."
Yan Da said cautiously: "Ninety thousand horses can't be scraped together." β
"Eighty thousand!"
Yan Da didn't dare to speak, paused for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Eighty thousand is not either!" β
"50,000 horses, no less!" Zhu Qiyu's expression was cold, as if his anger could erupt at any time.
The hall was silent, the singing and dancing were about to stop, and the ministers knelt on the ground in horror to plead guilty.
Invisibly, it gave Yan a huge pressure.
"Great Heavenly Khan, your servant has deceived you, this winter is too cold, the herdsmen have suffered, and the Tatars, who are not rich in the first place, have become even poorer, and they can't muster together 50,000 horses!"
"What about 50,000 cows?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy.
Yan Da cried: "The cattle are all frozen to death, it's really not enough!" β
"Then you say, how much can you pay tribute to the Heavenly Khan?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like knives.
Yan Da cautiously held out a finger.
"Ten thousand? Although there are fewer, the greatest heavenly khan of the steppe can also forgive his servants, just 10,000 horses! β
Zhu Qiyu sighed, in fact, his heart blossomed, in fact, he was content with two or three thousand horses.
"Honorable Heavenly Khan, you misunderstood what your servant meant, your servant can only make up a thousand horses......"
Before Yan finished answering, Zhu Qiyu blew up first, pointing to the basin of cold water: "Splash him on his head and make him sober!" β
Crash!
A basin of cold water poured down, and it was really cool to answer.
"Are you teasing the Heavenly Khan?" Zhu Qiyu is steep.
"No, don't dare!" Yan Da's head was full of water, and he didn't dare to shake it off.
"From 100,000 horses to 1,000 horses, are you kidding me?"
Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "Come on, prepare a basin of cold water for him and pour it into his mouth, I want to see if he is talking nonsense!" β
Yan was surprised, he never expected that the emperor of the Celestial Empire would be even more violent than Ye Xian!
Soon, a copper basin came in with water.
"Crack your mouth, pour!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at everyone in the mission suddenly: "No one is allowed to intercede, those who intercede, kill!" β
The mission of nearly 100 people trembled.
Grunt! Grunt!
A basin of cold water was poured into Yanda's stomach, and Yanda's stomach was swollen.
"I'll give you another chance, say, how much will the Tatars pay me tribute?" Zhu Qiyu asked in a cold voice.
Yan Da wept bitterly: "Your humble servant does not dare to deceive the great Heavenly Khan, you are as majestic as an eagle, please forgive the weak lamb!" β
"Even if your subordinates agree, the Tatars will not be able to muster so many horses."
"Tartar fear, the great Heavenly Khan led the heavenly soldiers to the steppe, and your people trembled!"
Diplomats just speak nicely.
It was as if the Ming Dynasty really ruled the grasslands.
"Refill!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed to the copper basin: "When to tell the truth, when to stop!" β
Yan was surprised, the emperor of the Central Plains changed his sex?
In previous years, Tatars were rewarded with numerous rewards for attaching their vassals to the table.
The Central Plains is vast, and good things emerge in endlessly, and the emperor of the Central Plains only needs to pluck out a leg hair, which is enough for the northern Mobei tribe to live for a few years.
As long as the Tatars were poor, they would pick up the wool of the Ming Dynasty, and they would live for a few years at a time, and they were used to it.
But when did this Jingtai Emperor become as treacherous as a fox?
"Don't, don't pour ......"
Gollum!
Yanda's belly was visibly stretched to the naked eye, and the water was still pouring wildly.
The mission trembled and did not dare to speak.
Zhu Qiyu watched the play with great interest, and from beginning to end, he didn't move a bite of the food in front of him.
Hu Hu coughed lightly and reminded the emperor not to play to death.
"Say, say, don't pour it......" Yan Answer's voice was dying, and pouring cold water was also torture.
But his voice was too low for the guard in charge of irrigation to hear it, and he continued to pour it.
"Said, spoken!"
Yan Da was poured and spit out, two streams of water were blocked in his throat, almost suffocating, and the cold water poured into it flowed down the nasal cavity, and the entire lung cavity was about to burst.
"Ahem, ahem!"
When no more watering, Yan Zhi coughs violently.
He is a little messenger, even if he is killed by the Ming Emperor, the Tatars will not attack the Ming because of him!
Especially after the defeat of the Warats, the Tatars would never dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Da overestimated himself and underestimated the Ming Emperor.
"Honorable Heavenly Khan, your servant knows that he is wrong!"
As a diplomat, Yan Da got up and saluted respectfully.
Even though his belly was about to burst, he still insisted on saluting: "Your servant confides the truth to you, please help your servant, please thank you Great Heavenly Khan!" β
"Please give your servant a private space!"
"I want to hear the truth, understand?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him coldly.
"Your humble servant does not dare to deceive the wise Heavenly Khan!" Yan Da is sweet in the mouth.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and asked the delegation to roll out of the hall.
The hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty stayed in the palace.
Have the guards close the temple gates.
"This ......"
Are we outsiders?
"The palace is all the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all my henchmen, there is nothing that cannot be known!" Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
These words made the hearts of the ministers in the palace warm.
Yan Da kowtowed: "Your Majesty is a ...... sent by Taishi Jiaslan."
He first spoke of the contradiction between the Great Khan and the Taishi, and it was the Taishi who was in charge in the Khan's court, but Mandulu and the young master Naoyan Baolide united, and married his subordinate Toluogan, and married his daughter to the son of Toluogan.
These names are also big in the Ming Dynasty.
Because there has been no war for many years, Da Ming is not familiar with Tatars, and he does not even have intelligence.
To put it simply, Mandulu and Gan Jiaslan started a power struggle and began to attack each other, and Taishi Gan Jia was already at a disadvantage.
He doesn't have the ability to do it first, and if he wants to get the various tribes to sell his life, he has to spend money to buy it.
He had no money in his hand, so he hit the idea of the Ming Dynasty, wanting to cheat some rewards from the Ming court and buy the Tatar tribes so that they could fight for them.
Even, I want to borrow troops from Daming.
That's why there is a proposal to attach tribute.
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
But in Yan Da's eyes, it was like a demon's smile.
"Honorable Heavenly Khan, please listen to your servant!"
"Taishi is really willing to attach Daming!"
"As long as the Taishi is in power, he is willing to send a proton to Daming, no, His Majesty has already brought the second son of the Taishi, this is the sincerity of the Taishi!"
"Moreover, the 100,000 horses that pay you tribute, the Taishi can also do it!"
Yan Answer trembled.
"How? Wait for the victory to fulfill the promise? Zhu Qiyu asked, he was not interested in the son of Zhijia, and the ghost knew whether it was true or not.
Even if it's true, what's the use? Can I exchange money?
"Great Heavenly Khan, your wisdom is infinitely ......"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted Yan Da's praise.
Yan Da said honestly: "Only by waiting for the victory of the Taishi can we give you enough horses!" But the respected Heavenly Khan, the Taishi can make a document......"
Zhu Qiyu interrupted him: "The empty glove white wolf is put on my head!" β
"It seems that the Tatars are not submissive!"
"There's no need to keep these missions, let's kill them all!"
"It's all gone!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up and left.
"The Great Heavenly Khan ......"
Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was really gone, he replied quickly, but was held down by the guards and dragged directly outside, and a eunuch came out to pass on the message.
The Ming guards drew their knives out of their sheaths and slashed at the mission!
"Ahh Yanda saw the mission killed.
Emperor Ming is not joking!
It's not to scare him, but to really kill them all!
"Don't kill, don't kill, I have something to say to the Heavenly Khan, I have something to say...... That can't be killed, that one is the son of the Taishi! β
But no one listened to him, and the son of the Taishi fell in a pool of blood, his face full of disbelief.
Don't they all say that the Han people are the most reasonable?
Why is this emperor unreasonable at all?
When Yanda was dragged into the temple again, the whole person was stupid.
Before he came, he was full of confidence, thinking that by saying a few beautiful words, he would be able to deceive the Ming Emperor, after all, the Ming people are all fat sheep in the eyes of the grassland people, fat sheep who are easy to deceive.
The Confucianism they learned was even more ridiculous, wanting to turn people into saints and establish a prosperous era of great harmony.
As a proficient Chinese language prolong, I think it's ridiculous.
The grassland peoples always believe that strength is king, and if they have strength, they have ambitions, either kill the enemy or play to their death.
However, the scene outside the hall frightened Yan Da.
The mission of three hundred people was killed by more than a hundred!
The brave steppe warrior was slaughtered like a lamb, and he didn't even dare to think about it.
"Spread my word, kill one every other breath! I'm going to hear screams! β
Zhu Qiyu was not allowed to open the door of the palace, the spring was biting, and he was afraid of the cold.
The guards could only drag the Tatars and kill them at the gate of the temple.
"Great Heavenly Khan, please don't kill your loyal herdsmen......"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly burst into tears: "Where are you loyal?" Don't insult the word loyalty! Playing with the Heavenly Khan? Think you're smart? You're going to have to pay the price! β
Yan Da kowtowed humbly: "Before leaving, Taishi prepared a thousand horses and two thousand sheep, and put them in the Ao Han tribe, please send someone to receive them!" β
"Why don't you just bring Da Ming?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Because the goal is too big, the subordinates don't dare to bring it rashly."
"I think you want to swallow it privately!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was gloomy: "In the face of the gods on the grassland, but they are not sincere at all, I will give you heavenly punishment!" β
"Keep watering!"
"Huh?" Yan Da rubbed his belly, and if he poured it again, his belly was really broken.
"Irrigation!"
Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with a thousand horses at all, and Ao Han was far away from Liaodong Town, and it was really not worth it to send troops deep into the grassland.
Originally, he thought he could knock on a bamboo pole, but as a result, the white wolf with empty gloves knocked on his Zhu Qiyu's bamboo pole!
"Don't dive it to death, tomorrow I will go hunting, and the prey will be Tatars, all of them will be lost, and they will be thrown into the hunting ground, and I will hunt myself!" Zhu Qiyu was indignant.
Yan Da was still begging for mercy, but Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to listen and killed him.
"Don't give them anything to eat tonight!"
Zhu Qiyu returned to the Qinzheng Palace, too lazy to talk nonsense.
The ministers didn't dare to persuade him, the emperor was angry.
If the Tatars die, let's die, it's useless anyway, and the Tatars don't dare to attack the Ming Dynasty!
At noon the next day.
After the early dynasty, Zhu Qiyu was dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Liang Xuan, Fang Ying, Song Wei, Li Jin, Chen Shao, etc., and set off for Nanyuan.
Nanyuan is also Shanglin Garden, which can be traced back to the Liaojin period and is the royal hunting ground.
Taizong, Xuanzong, and Emperor Taishang all have a soft spot for Nanyuan, and Nanyuan's hunting and martial arts have also become a rule, which has been followed to this day.
But the prey hunted today is different, it's all people.
All Tatars.
"Tian Khan, the two countries will not fight each other!" Yan Da is dying, and it is also one of today's prey.
In order to make them lose their attack power, they are all eight.
Wang Wen was worried that these strong grassland men would hurt the emperor, so he cut a knife on his ankle and wrist to make it impossible for him to use force.
The subordinate husband drove them into the mountains and forests to hide.
Syllable!
Zhu Qiyu whipped Yan Da's body: "Two countries? The Tatars are the Marquis of Guishun and my servants! What is the matter if I kill a few servants? Even if I drive the whole family of Guishun Hou to kill, dare you refuse the great Heavenly Khan? β
"Hahaha, drive him aside, and finally I will shoot him myself!"
Zhu Qiyu patted the horse and ran.
The horse army and the guard army are close to the enemy, and there are nine army outside, newly trained regimental battalions, and tens of thousands of people obey the emperor.
Shout!
Zhu Qiyu pulled his bow and shot an arrow, and he heard a scream.
"Hit! Your Majesty! Li Jin shouted.
"Hahaha, did you shoot to death?" Although Zhu Qiyu is not good at hunting, he is very unstable when riding a horse and opening a bow.
But I can't stand some people's praise.
Li Jin personally dragged the expulsion over, and secretly stabbed the arrow into the expulsion, stabbing the person to death.
"Your Majesty's divine shooting, one blow will be hit!" Li Jin praised.
"Good!"
Zhu Qiyu was a little fluttering: "All gentlemen can hunt, I have a colorful head, Young Master Yu will escort the war horse back to Beijing, I will take out a thousand war horses, the one who hunts the most today can get this thousand war horses, how about it?" β
Li Jin, Liang Xuan and others had blazing eyes.
"Only count these drives, not counting the hunted livestock, the one who hunts more wins, and there is no restriction on the means!"
"Today, they are not lambs, but the spoils of war!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed roughly: "Sons, let's kill!" β
Using the Tatars to give these recruits eggs blood, Zhu Qiyu is also well-intentioned.
He also wanted to gallop on horseback, but the problem was that his thigh hurt, and he couldn't kill it alone.
Shout!
Zhu Qiyu set up another arrow, and the Tatar man spoke in an incomprehensible bird language, obviously cursing the emperor.
"Don't move, I'll do another arrow!"
The Tatar man lay on the ground, his hands and feet useless, and he was allowed to be killed.
Shout!
An arrow missed, piercing him in the back, and the cursing continued.
Seven or eight arrows were set up in succession before he was shot.
Zhu Qiyu saw that the way was coming, these Tatars were all abolished, they couldn't run or jump, and they were a little excited when they landed.
Because he rode very slowly, it was the man who sent people to him and asked him to shoot them.
It is equivalent to saying that everyone is cooperating with him in acting.
He was in a mood.
Return to camp.
Yan Da was tied to a tree with a miserable face.
"Lift my bow!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up, shot arrows with a bow, and aimed at Yan Answer.
"His Majesty the Heavenly Khan...... Yes! Yan Da closed his eyes in fright.
And the arrow was at his feet.
Looking further up, the emperor is going for him!
Fortunately, the accuracy is poor, otherwise it would have been pierced.
Where is this emperor of the Celestial Empire, obviously a tyrant of the grassland! The bad taste has reached this point! Don't the scholars of the Celestial Empire care?
Shout!
Another arrow, and another miss!
Yan replied that Zhu Qiyu was determined to shoot him, and he was furious: "Emperor Ming, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!" β
He can't pretend anymore, bullshit god Khan, you're the weak dog emperor!
Lao Tzu called you Tian Khan, that is to put a high hat on you!
If you don't know how to lift, it's okay, if you want to kill or chop, the grassland man won't frown...... But where are you going?
"Don't move! I won't wear him today, and I won't give up! β
Zhu Qiyu is also on fire.
I have to put on your burden!
Shout!
Arrows pierced his thighs!
"Ahh Yan replied and screamed, the emperor's bow was special, not very powerful, and not deep piercing.
He looked down and trembled, so close!
Just a little bit, and I won!
Looking at the emperor again, he took up his bow and crossbow again.
Shout!
An arrow flew over, and his whole person was not good.
The other leg, hit!
Now he suddenly had a strange idea, it is better to set an arrow to be hit, early death and early life.
"Don't! Don't! β
When Yan Da saw the emperor pull his bow again, he went crazy directly!
"Great Heavenly Khan, give your servant a little...... Yes! Yan Da looked down and saw that he had been hit by an arrow in the leg again!
How many arrows are there?
Can the emperor be accurate, die early and be born early!
"Heavenly Khan, Your Majesty is useful to you! It works! Yan Da shouted in horror.
Zhu Qiyu aimed: "What's the use?" β
"Your Majesty knows the Tatars, and the Tartar tribes know them...... Yes! "Yan Da has been tricked again!
Sour!
"I have no interest in Tatars, what is there to worry about in such a poor and remote place? Don't move, I'll be able to hit this time! β
Shout!
The arrows galloped away.
Yan Da didn't want to scream anymore, his thighs were about to rot, it hurt.
Zhu Qiyu moved his shoulders and asked people to present the crossbow, but he was too tired to pull the bow, because his arm strength was not enough, so his accuracy was very poor.
It would be much better to switch to a bow and crossbow.
"Don't move, I'll be able to hit this time!" Zhu Qiyu aimed with a bow and crossbow.
"Your Majesty is useful!"
Yan Da shouted in horror: "Your Majesty has a grassland map to present to Tian Khan!" β
"Maps? Really? Zhu Qiyu took the bow and crossbow, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected joy.
"Yes, yes!"
Yan replied and nodded repeatedly, saying that in his head, there was a map of the grassland.
Shout!
Yan Answer suddenly screamed!
It's worn!
With an arrow in his arms!
Hit the bull's-eye! Absolutely!
At first, it was pain, then it was frightened, and finally it turned into despair, which cannot be repaired!
"For the sake of seeing that you are still useful, send the Huanyi Bureau and enter the palace to serve."
"Anyway, the map is in your head, draw it slowly."
"I believe in you, and it is your honor to let you serve the Heavenly Khan closely!"
"Isn't it? My servant? β
Zhu Qiyu put down his bow and crossbow and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Yan Da is stupid, it's all like this, and you still want to be grateful? Do you want to eat fart?
"Great Heavenly Khan, please accept your loyal servant!" Yan Da didn't want to thank him, the key emperor raised his bow and crossbow again!
If you have another arrow, it hurts......
"Hahaha!"
"See? Tatars are cheap! β
"It's useless to talk to them and discuss with them!"
"This thing works! Hahaha! β
"Leave this thing here, there will be foreign missions in the future, bring them to watch first!" Zhu Qiyu asked people to take a bow and crossbow, sat on a stool, and took a sip of tea.
According to the emperor's dictation, it was cut directly.
Yan Answer screamed non-stop.
The husband was disgusted that the screams were too terrible, so he asked people to cover his mouth and drag him down to treat his injuries.
Then, Lin Cong, Li Xian and others were announced.
Hu Hu was unwell today, so he didn't let him drive.
"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it will be unchanged to respond to all changes."
Wang Zhi was the first to speak: "Warat was crippled by our army, and the Tatar civil strife was just a precious time for the Ming Dynasty to recuperate, we should close the door and develop ourselves." β
Li Xian had a different opinion: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should send an envoy to Warat and Tatar. β
"Go on!" Zhu Qiyu became interested.
"Warat is defeated, I am the victor, and I should force Warat to be called a minister and pay tribute;"
"And the Tatars, the heart of the Ming Dynasty is immortal, and it is time to take this opportunity to thunder and plough its Khan Court, decompose the Tatars, and completely eliminate the troubles in the north."
"The old minister thinks that I, Daming, should take a two-pronged approach, and at the same time use a spicy hand on Warat and Tatar, once and for all!"
Li Xian said urgently.
I didn't see it, Li Xian is still a main battle faction!
Wait, something is wrong!
Li Xian wanted to transfer my eyes from home to abroad, and use Warat and Tatar as nails for me to touch.
When I hit the nail and knew that it hurt, and then I wanted to return to China to rectify the country, the resistance I faced was a thousand times that of now!
Good means, Li Xian!
The most treacherous thing is that Li Xian did not say it directly, but first let Wang Zhi say it, and then oppose Wang Zhi.
Pick yourself clean.
Wise man.
"Your Majesty, although you have won the battle, but it is also a lot of luck, at present, it is still mainly stability, Shandong and Huguang are still unstable, and Ning Fan is eager to try, the old minister thinks that it is better to be stable."
Wang Wen glared at Li Xian, you can't push Da Ming into the fire pit in order to divert His Majesty's attention!
Mobei is a bottomless pit!
The grassland people are not very powerful, but they will run, run until no one can find them, and when the Ming retreats, they will come back.
Taizong made several expeditions to the north, but they all wasted money and food, and he couldn't find the enemy.
Unless the Ming Dynasty can take root in the grassland, it is chasing and fighting, fighting, people are lost, they can't be found, and when the Ming army withdraws, people come back.
"Lord Wang, this is the best opportunity to sweep Mobei!" Li Xian said seriously.
"Where's the money? Where did it come from? Wang Wen asked.
Li Xian glanced at the emperor.
The 100 officials of the court returned the embezzled money to the internal treasury, and the emperor's internal treasury was estimated to exceed 7 million taels of silver.
If you include real estate, it must be more than eight million taels!
The emperor has never been so rich.
The Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, the Horse Army, the Guard Army, and the regimental camp are all expanding the army, and they are all living forces, estimated to be 50,000 people.
How good it is to have soldiers and food, take them out and consume them.
Wang Wen glared at Li Xian, you have a lot of eyes!
Zhu Qiyu is really thinking about it, you can make more money when the money is gone, anyway, there are many fat sheep in the world, if you can really take the opportunity to sweep Mobei, it will be really profitable.
But how to take root in the grassland?
He didn't want to be as useless as Taizong, fighting a war in exchange for twenty years of peace, such a battle was meaningless.
"Wang Wei, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks you can fight, or you don't have to fight!"
Wang Wei said seriously: "The reason for not fighting, although there is no one of Warat, there are still two, and the strength has not been compromised, and in the west, there are also Warat tribes, such as Hami and other countries, all of which are subject countries of Warat, and if you really want to recruit soldiers, you can do it." β
"Although there is a coup d'Γ©tat in Tatar, Weichen is worried that once the Ming army penetrates deep into Mobei, the Tatars will quickly quell the political turmoil and become monolithic, and our army will instead promote the unification of Tatar, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"Moreover, if our army breaks through Warat or Tatar, the biggest benefit is Uryanha, and it is very likely that Uryanha will become a new Warat and Tatar after being absorbed and annexed, and it will become a big trouble for my Ming Dynasty!"
Wang Wei spoke clearly.
Mobei is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and if you want to fight, you have to weaken it at the same time.
Otherwise, we have to find a way to take root in the grassland and turn the grassland into Han land.
"Weichen said to fight, it's okay."
"Because our army is carrying the power of a great victory, it is more than enough to win another battle when we go out of the customs."
"However, it is just a few innocuous victories, and it can't decide the situation in Mobei."
Wang Wei turned around and persuaded the emperor not to fight.
The reason why they spoke boldly was because Zhu Qiyu, who took back the imperial power, became very talkative, as long as he asked, what his subordinates said was something, even if he angered him, he would not be angry.
The emperor encouraged speaking freely.
Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly: "Wang Qing is talented!" β
Li Xian was a little unhappy, and Wang Wei ruined his good deeds.
"Wang Qing, tell me, how did the Ming people take root in the grassland? Or rather, how am I going to rule the grasslands? Zhu Qiyu asked.
Li Xian rolled his eyes, do you really think you are a heavenly khan?
Your Majesty, what is the meaning of the Heavenly Khan? Look at the Tang Dynasty, the brilliant Tang Dynasty, but in the end it was destroyed by foreign races, how regrettable!
In the final analysis, it was the Tang Dynasty that did not distinguish between Hu and Han, used Hu to control Hu, and gave Hu people military power, which led to the Anshi Rebellion.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts!
"Weichen thinks that with money and food in one hand and a knife and axe in the other, His Majesty can become the king of the grassland!"
Wang Wei said seriously: "However, when the Celestial Empire loses money and grain, the grassland will be separated from the Celestial Empire; If the Celestial Empire loses its sword and axe, the Hu people will enter the Central Plains and become the emperor of the Central Plains! This is an eternal truth! β
"Isn't there a one-size-fits-all solution?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't figure it out, how did Taqing govern the grassland?
"Yes! Assimilation! β
Wang Wei said: "In the year of his reign, he quickly sinicized, abandoned the original tradition, destroyed his writing and history, and made the newborn children become Mingren!" β
"The minister estimates that with the size of Mobei, it will take at least two hundred years to completely assimilate!"
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, you might as well just say it, give up!
Assimilation of Mongolia, the Ming and Qing dynasties were doing, it took more than 500 years, only to assimilate to Monan.
But after Mobei broke away from the Tatar Qing Dynasty, why was it quickly assimilated by polar bears? Are times different? Or is it something else?
Firearm!
Yes, Wang Wei is looking back on history and came to a conclusion, so it has limitations.
History is the era of cold weapons, but with the development of firearms, it is completely different, ruling the grassland, using firearms, money and food, it will definitely be possible!
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly laughed: "Wang Qing's words are very true, it takes two hundred years to completely assimilate, but I can wait, the Ming Chengyuan system, the Warat, Tatar, and Uliangha people are all of Chinese Miao descent, and I can wait for them to slowly assimilate!" β
Li Xian glanced at the hunting ground, that's how you treat "your own people"?
Your mouth is so good at fooling ghosts.
"Two capitals and thirteen provinces, it's too small!"
"Ming Chengyuan system, but the land is only as small as the territory of the Han family!"
"Annan also lost ......"
"That's it, let's not mention these sad topics, let's talk about it, I plan to take the opportunity to recover the Hetao, and use the Hetao as a gateway to guard against Mobei and Xifan."
"What do you think?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Li Xian shook his head directly: "Your Majesty, the Hetao is broken, and it can't support many people." β
"If you go through the water, there will be a freezing period, and in winter, how to transport grain?"
"If you can't settle the people, you can't raise an army."
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows Your Majesty's ambition to recover the world, but Hexi and Hetao are no longer in the Sui and Tang dynasties, they are too dilapidated and can't carry too many people."
Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty can make Shanshan a variety of trees, protect the water and soil, and slowly nourish, after many years, Shanxi may also reappear in the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and then it will be the day when my Ming Dynasty returns to Hexi!" β
Wang Wen, Lin Cong and others bowed their heads and agreed with Li Xian's words.
"Bai Gui, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Weichen agrees with Li Ge Lao's words, it is not difficult to recover the lost land, it is rare to govern, even if the court is more prosperous now and can support it for a few years, it will have to give up after a few years." Baekyu was blunt.
Grain!
What restricts the development of the Ming Dynasty is the food problem!
"What if I can solve the food problem?" Zhu Qiyu looked around at the ministers.
"If the food is not a problem, Your Majesty will not say Mobei, even if it is the whole restoration of the territory of Dayuan, it doesn't matter!"
Li Xian said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, food is the top priority, the reason why Dayuan rules such a vast territory is because there are few people, the Mongolian people are not good at governance, and they like to kill, and they will massacre cities everywhere they go, and often kill thousands of miles of uninhabited people, so they rule such a huge territory."
Bai Gui said seriously: "But I am not a brilliant Ming, I am a good ruler, everywhere I go, I will practice a gentle policy, multiply people, it will not take many years to prosper, and the population is large, and there is not enough food." β
"It is the Central Plains Dynasty that is rich and the Hu people are barren."
"Bai Shilang's words are reasonable, Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has only relied on two capitals and thirteen provinces, but it has become the richest and prosperous country in the world, all because of the diligence and intensive cultivation of the Ming people."
Lu Yuan spoke: "And the Hu people were careless, thinking that they would immediately fight the country, and they would immediately govern the country, and finally they were in a mess and withdrew from the Central Plains in disgrace. β
Lu Yuan's implication is that if the Han family has surplus food, they will have children like crazy, and after a few years, there are too many children, and there is still not enough to eat.
Therefore, he was advising the emperor that the rest of the land in the world was barren, and it was enough for the emperor to focus on the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
The Central Plains Dynasty has been in power for 200 years, and the reason is this, the population is too large to be raised.
"What Zhu Qing said makes sense."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Spread the message to all places, search for plants that can be planted, and transport them all to Beijing, and I will personally cultivate them!" β
"If the Ming Dynasty doesn't have it, they can trade with Xifan, as long as they have crops, no matter how much it costs, they will also get them for me!"
"Cabinet, give a decree!"
"Officials from all over the world are looking for me, and those who can't be found will be demoted and included in the next Beijing inspection, do you know?"
Zhu Qiyu said with a cold face: "I found it, this crop can be eaten and widely planted, and it can be given a golden talisman!" β
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Hundreds of officials bowed.
Finding new crops and promoting planting is what the Son of Heaven should do.
Of course, if there were any edible crops, some people would have offered them a long time ago.
The emperor is willing to toss, so let him toss.
Zhu Qiyu actually wanted to find corn, but he didn't know if corn had been introduced to Daming, anyway, there must have been one in the Franco.
"Then give an order to the merchants, those who donate crops will be allowed to enter the imperial examination!" Zhu Qiyu's move is ruthless enough.
Those who trade frequently with the West are smugglers, and if they are given an official position, it may be able to stimulate their enthusiasm.
"Your Majesty, where did the merchant get the crop?" The stupid Yu Shan spoke.
I regretted it after saying it.
Seeing that the other officials bowed their heads and were silent, it was obvious that this was a hornet's nest, tacitly.
I guess I will lie to the emperor!
As everyone knows, the emperor knows it.
It's a bit embarrassing, and even more embarrassing, being poked by some fool.
"When they get it, you'll know, don't underestimate the power of the merchant, if you have three times the profit, the merchant will go crazy."
Zhu Qiyu's voice fell.
Li Jin and Liang Xuan came excitedly to repay the merits.
The two hunted the same number of people, tied for first place.
"Good! You two will each be rewarded with 500 horses! β
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, asked the ministers to retreat, and called Fang Ying, Liang Xuan, Song Jie, Song Wei, and Li Jin together for questioning.
"Fang Ying, you first talk about the conscription situation."
Fang Ying presented a book of notes, which was deleted, deleted, and subtracted, apparently written over the years, a bit like a diary.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Why did you recruit more than 30,000 people?" β
Fang Ying glanced at Liang Xuan and Song Jie.
"Your Majesty, during this time, about 250,000 displaced people gathered in Gyeonggi, and the best of the micro-ministers were selected, and in addition, the conscription office was not a minister, so so many soldiers were recruited."
Zhu Qiyu understands that Fang Ying has connotations of Liang Xuan, Song Jie, and Li Jin.
The Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, the Guards Army, and the Horse Raising Army must also survive the fittest, eliminate a group of old and weak, and recruit some from the homeless people.
Especially in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, Zhu Qiyu promised Liang Xuan to recruit troops at will.
At that time, Zhu Qiyu believed that all the Jingying Society died in Xuanzhen.
So the conscription was opened.
As a result, Yu Qian gave him a big surprise, and Jingying didn't lose much.
"How much have you levied?" Zhu Qiyu asked Liang Xuan.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has recruited 14,000 people, and the actual amount of the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion is 25,000!"
Liang Xuan used a word, real.
Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction, and asked Song Jie and Li Jin again.
The guards and horse armies are mainly to eliminate the old and weak.
They all recruited some of each, not much.
The actual amount is 10,000 people!
Zhu Qiyu is very satisfied with this result.
Suddenly, the conversation changed!
"Here in me, you can't mess up my army, drink the blood of soldiers or something, I advise you and others to stop as soon as possible, those who don't take it as a warning, and some stop as soon as possible, I don't ask or investigate."
"Start counting today!"
"In the future, if I know about it, touch my head more, and I won't be able to touch it when I can save it."
"The ministers will never dare!" Fang Ying and the others knelt on the ground, cold sweat on their foreheads.
The emperor is to beat them, don't fight among themselves.
I just had wings, and if anyone fights and hurts my wings, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Especially Fang Ying, he provoked contradictions first, insinuating innuendos.
Trembling at the moment.
It's really a companion like a tiger.
