Autumn.

It has been seven days since Lao Zhu went north.

During this time, Zhu Yunxi felt that he had grown a lot, and he found that he was still too dependent on Lao Zhu before.

Although everything will be planned in advance, thinking of the worst outcome.

But Zhu Yunxi actually always had a hidden idea in his heart, that is, Lao Zhu would help him clean up the mess, so no matter what he did, he was not afraid of accidents.

But when Lao Zhu went north, these seven days.

Zhu Yunxi realized that his thoughts were sometimes not cautious and careful.

Especially after the death of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, after Zhu Yunxi's position as the grandson became more and more stable, his thoughts changed a little.

No longer walking on thin ice like before, think one step at a time.

Relaxed a lot.

Lao Zhu's departure this time may not be a bad thing for him, but it can make Zhu Yunxi realize his shortcomings more clearly.

After all, Lao Zhu is not very old, and Zhu Yunxi always wants to be in charge of the Ming Dynasty alone!

Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Yunxi has been dealing with many affairs as always, such as land reform, national highways, and factories...... There are so many things that Zhu Yunxi has to do.

Especially after Lao Zhu left, Zhu Yunxi always had a sense of crisis in his heart.

For fear that he would make a mistake, especially in the current situation of soaring prices, he wants to run the factory as soon as possible.

Ease price pressures.

But at this moment, a hurried footstep came.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

"Good news! Good news! ”

"Your Royal Highness, good news!"

Zhu Yunxi followed the prestige, only to see a white-haired official wearing a crimson court robe, with a complement on the chest and back of the robe, and a bird engraved on it.

With just one glance, Zhu Yunxi recognized the other party.

The Ministry of Rites is still in the book Zhan Wei!

It's just that what is the other party doing in Wenhua Hall at this time? Good news?

Zhu Yunxi had a trace of expectation in his heart, couldn't it be that Zheng He's news came back?

If that were the case, it would be great!

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly got up and asked, "What's the good news?" Say it! ”

This Ministry of Rites Shangshu is quite old, and he came in a hurry, and he is already a little tired.

But I don't care about resting.

Congratulations: "Congratulations to the grandson! Congratulations to the grandson! ”

"Your Majesty led the army north, and when Beiyuan learned that my Great Tomorrow soldiers were coming on the seventh day, he was immediately frightened!"

"Look at the wind!"

"Now a messenger has been sent to ask us for peace!"

"The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is now staying in Honglu Temple!"

Northern Yuan sum?

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, it was not Zheng He's news, which made him a little disappointed, if Zheng He lost, then even if Beiyuan sued for peace, what was the use!

Beiyuan is far less important in his heart than in the hearts of others in the Ming Dynasty.

is not as obsessed as Lao Zhu.

In fact, after Zhu Yunxi's treasury was full, he didn't have much idea of using troops in the Northern Yuan Dynasty at all.

It's just a vast grassland.

After the development of the Ming Dynasty, it can be easily incorporated into the territory, so why force it to take the Northern Yuan now, and spend more effort?

In Zhu Yunxi's plan, the troops were used against the Northern Yuan, and the order was ranked at the back of the comparison.

It is still based on the development of Daming and overseas development.

didn't expect that Lao Zhu would have an unexpected joy when he went north! That Beiyuan was frightened by Da Ming's rapid dispatch of troops!

I was so busy sending messengers to sue for peace!

But on second thought, this is indeed very likely to happen, because the Northern Yuan is still a predominantly nomadic country after all.

The grasslands are vast, and the tribes are scattered.

Even the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could not gather too many soldiers and horses, and it took time to gather.

But it was at this time that something went terribly wrong!

It stands to reason that the capital division of the Ming Dynasty is in Yingtianfu, which is located in the southerly zone.

According to the usual situation, it will take a long time just to gather troops and prepare food and grass, not to mention the march of the army to the north.

It will take at least a month!

In this way, it also gave Beiyuan time to react and gather his own soldiers and horses.

And the Northern Yuan often reacted at this time, gathered the tribes, and joined forces.

Each of them had horses, and they were accustomed to a nomadic life and were extremely mobile, so the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty often did not achieve much success.

But this time it's different!

How many days has Lao Zhu been in the north? It has already gone straight to Beiping!

It directly threatens the Northern Yuan tribe who are still grazing at this time!

Although Zhu Yunxi knew that Lao Zhu was only going north to inspect and had no real plans to use troops, Beiyuan didn't know!

In this way, it made the people of Beiyuan panic.

Send someone directly to sue for peace.

I want to delay the time to give them a chance to join forces and reduce losses as much as possible.

Otherwise, in front of this 100,000-strong army, the Northern Yuan would be like being undefended.

Lao Zhu can lead the army to rush into the hinterland of the Northern Yuan at any time, even if he can't destroy the Northern Yuan, he can still make the Northern Yuan hurt his muscles and bones!

So this time, Beiyuan is afraid!

Especially after Lao Zhu counted how many Northern Expeditions, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was actually no longer a climate, the infighting was serious, the army was full of leaders, and everyone was unwilling to fight with the Ming Dynasty.

Especially now in an unprepared battle!

And what makes Beiyuan even more uncomfortable is that if you go from Daming Jingshi to Beiping, it only takes seven days.

Doesn't this mean that the Ming Dynasty can hoard millions of troops at the border at any time!

And don't worry about the shortage of food and grass, or the change in the center?

In this way, the territory actually controlled by the Northern Yuan Dynasty will retreat indefinitely, losing a large area of fertile grassland with abundant water and grass!

This is simply unacceptable for Beiyuan!

That's why they sent people to sue for peace, wanting to see if they could delay the pace of the Ming Dynasty's troops, or to see if they could sign a peace treaty with the Ming Dynasty at a very low price.

They were really scared!

If you can't fight, it's better not to fight!

"What a blessing! His Royal Highness can make peace with the Northern Yuan without bloodshed, which is exactly what depends on His Highness's decree to build the national road! ”

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness Taisun reforming the Ming Dynasty, how could the Northern Yuan Dynasty come to sue for peace so easily?"

"This is all the work of His Highness!"

In the Wenhua Palace, one by one the advisory ministers began to pat their ass.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't get lost in it, because he knew that compared to the Northern Yuan, the affairs of the Wa Kingdom were more important!

It's just that it's useless to worry about the Wa Kingdom now.

Moreover, the Northern Yuan Dynasty sued for peace, which was also a happy event, and Zhu Yunxi had an idea in his heart.

Perhaps the Northern Yuan could temporarily replace the role of the Wa State.

Help Zhu Yunxi calm down prices.

After all, summing ...... How can there be no price?!

"Don't worry, hang him for a few days, and then talk about it, in the next few days, no one should bother with this Northern Yuan envoy."

"Just let him stay in the Honglu Temple."

"If anyone dares to approach and reveal my secrets, they will be punished for treason!"

"No mercy! Zhu Jiu Clan! ”

Zhu Yunxi said decisively.

Everyone in the Wenhua Hall bowed their heads and said yes.

Until what Zhu Yunxi said is true! In the previous Zhejiang case, the head of the person was killed, and there are still blood stains, but it is not false!

His Royal Highness the Taisun, like His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is ruthless in killing!

"In a few days, we will meet this Northern Yuan envoy again."

Zhu Yunxi is confident.

This time, something must be knocked out from Beiyuan!

……

A few more days passed, and the autumn wind gradually rose.

The sultry air was swept away by a rain last night and gradually cooled.

Zhu Yunxi's mood also improved like this weather.

According to Jiang Zheng's words, the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has almost traveled all over the Beijing Division in the past few days, but no one dares to invite him into the door as a guest.

I didn't even dare to have the slightest contact.

have avoided suspicion.

This made the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty sleep unsteadily, and in just a few days, he was much haggard.

Zhu Yunxi felt that the time had come.

Without further delay, he ordered: "This morning, go and ask this Northern Yuan envoy to come with you." ”

"It's time too."

……

Fengtian Temple.

Morning.

Zhu Yunxi sat high above, overlooking the ministers below.

And today, all the officials are wearing bright red court clothes, neatly dressed, and even their spirits can be raised.

Everyone is in a lean state.

"Xuan, the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is here!"

Soon, a Mongolian, of average height, but noticeably fat, and strong, walked in.

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty walked into the Fengtian Palace, and first looked at the Ming officials in surprise.

seems to be wondering why all the officials of the Ming Dynasty have a positive appearance.

It is completely different from the lifeless court of the Northern Yuan.

And when he saw Zhu Yunxi, his jaw was about to drop in surprise.

How did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty become a child?!

"This ......" The Northern Yuan envoy was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Shouldn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be ......?"

But before he finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Lan Yu: "Presumptuous! ”

"This is my Ming Prince, His Royal Highness!"

"Don't get down on your knees yet!"

Lan Yu is a fierce general, and he has gone on a Northern Expedition I don't know how many times, so naturally he will not be accustomed to the Northern Yuan people.

took the first step and directly pressed the Beiyuan envoy to the ground.

Deal with the struggle to resist, but his seemingly huge size can't resist!

"Let go of me!" The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Royal Highness, is this how you treat the envoy?" ”

"It's not out of place!"

"Aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty?"

But Zhu Yunxi is a bird, and he doesn't bird him.

glanced at him disdainfully, as if the entire North New Year's Day was extinguished.

Snorted coldly: "Is Beiyuan also qualified to declare war with Daming?" In the past few decades, which time has it been that I have declared war on you Beiyuan instead of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"It's just that you can't see the situation clearly, and you just resist stubbornly!"

"I advise you, it's better to surrender as soon as possible and submit to my Ming rule!"

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was suddenly out of words.

In the past few decades, at the beginning, Beiyuan was able to fight with Daming for a few rounds, and the two sides mobilized millions of troops, with a total battlefield strength of more than two million!

Can be further back...... The worse the combat power of this Northern Yuan.

Nowadays, with only a few hundred thousand troops, it is naturally no longer the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

You can only be beaten on the head.

But even so, Beiyuan still has some ability to fight back, but it is not enterprising enough and has more than enough self-preservation.

"E......" The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty can send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and after all, he still has some eloquence.

Soon he said: "Your Royal Highness, you are here for peace. ”

"Between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, although there are old grudges, there is no actual conflict of interest, so why fight for life and death?"

"It's better to be okay with each other and not invade each other, isn't this a good thing for the people of the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty?"

"I also hope that His Highness will take the people into account and stop this war."

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty wanted to kidnap Zhu Yunxi again.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't eat him, and said directly: "Your ambition to be a wolf son of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, recuperating is just to accumulate strength to invade the Central Plains again." ”

"Let you go now, and you'll come back decades later."

"Wouldn't it hurt the people of the border passes and the Central Plains even more?"

"It's better to kill you now!"

At this time, the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was completely speechless, no matter how he scraped his intestines and searched his stomach, he couldn't think of a word.

He never expected that Zhu Yunxi, who thought he was a child, would be so difficult to deal with!

But just when he was desperate.

Zhu Yunxi said suddenly: "However, it doesn't make sense for what you said. ”

"In the battle between swords and soldiers, it is the people who suffer after all, and it is the innocent soldiers who die after all."

Zhu Yunxi's face was 'unbearable', as if he was moved by compassion.

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty saw that there was a play, and hurriedly pursued the victory.

said: "Your Highness is merciful! This is the time to bring peace to both sides! ”

"Beiyuan is willing to ask for peace with Daming at the cost of 10,000 cattle and sheep!"

At this moment, there seemed to be a trace of 'heartbeat' on Zhu Yunxi's face.

But just when the envoy of the Northern Yuan was happy.

Lan Yu jumped out again.

said: "Your Highness! Never! The immortality of the Northern Yuan is a hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty after all! ”

"When we send another million troops to the north, with 100,000 troops as the vanguard, we will pacify the Northern Yuan in one fell swoop!"

"Even if you can't destroy Beiyuan, you have to beat Beiyuan to pieces!"

When he heard about the million-strong army, the eyelids of the Northern Yuan envoy couldn't stop jumping.

Cold sweat runs down the face.

It seems that he has seen the coming catastrophe of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!

With the current speed of the Ming army, it may not be a joke to mobilize a million troops in a short period of time!

"Moreover, these 10,000 cattle and sheep are simply the same as nothing!"

"Back then, there were more than 100,000 cattle and sheep that I captured from the Northern Yuan alone!"

Lan Yu said disdainfully: "If you ask for peace, you have to be a little sincere!" ”

"Take out at least a million head of cattle and sheep!"

Millions of cattle and sheep?

The pupils of the Northern Yuan envoy shrank, this is simply asking for his own life!

Where did the Northern Yuan get a million cattle and sheep now? Even if there is, it will have to be the head of the army to make most of it, and relying on the royal court alone will not be able to make up so much!

"This ......" the envoy of the Northern Yuan cried poorly: "Your Highness, the Northern Yuan is poor, there are not so many cattle and sheep at all......"

Zhu Yunxi also seems to agree.

Nodding.

said: "That's right, where did Beiyuan get such cattle and sheep, Lan Yu, don't mess around." ”

After Lan Yu was 'reprimanded', she seemed to be unwilling to retreat.

He also glanced at the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty hatefully.

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that His Royal Highness the Taisun also has the idea of seeking peace in his heart.

It's not like I don't have a chance!

"But ......" Zhu Yunxi's voice suddenly changed, and he saw the poor dagger: "Just divide the millions of cattle and sheep to pay the bill." ”

"Let's take you for ten years."

"Supply one million cattle and sheep to Daming in installments, and supply 100,000 cattle and sheep every year as capital."

"Another 20,000 cattle and sheep will be given as interest."

"And my Ming court gave you ten years, and you Beiyuan also have to express it, right?"

"In this first phase, 320,000 cattle and sheep were sent to show sincerity, how about it?"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly reduced the number to 320,000 cattle and sheep.

But the envoy of the Northern Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

Because His Royal Highness the Taisun was even more ruthless, he directly asked for 1.4 million cattle and sheep as the price for peace!

But the difference is that Zhu Yunxi gave them the option of supplying in installments.

In the first year, they only needed to bear 320,000 head of cattle and sheep.

That's how it works...... The burden is much easier than sending a million cattle and sheep directly, and the agreement between the two countries will have a chance to rely on the debt in the future......

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty calculated that 320,000 cattle and sheep were just the limit of what he could call the shots!

As......

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty hesitated for a long time.

I still can't make up my mind.

But at this time, Xu Huizu jumped out again and encouraged Zhu Yunxi to send troops to attack the Northern Yuan.

Hubu Shangshu said bluntly that the money in the treasury is simply not used up now!

It's perfectly fine to fight!

Completely broke through the heart defense of the Northern Yuan envoy!

"Your Highness...... On behalf of the Northern Yuan, I agreed, and I hope that His Royal Highness can collect troops and return to Beijing. ”

The envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty sweated like rain, and the whole person became prostrated and powerless.

It's like losing a battle.

Zhu Yunxi smiled nonchalantly and said, "After the Northern Yuan sends 320,000 cattle and sheep." ”

"I'll withdraw my troops."
