Mandulu and the others are dead, which is also a relief.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will not support the new Great Khan, but will build a country with a prince and rule the grassland.

Zhu Qiyu counted with his fingers: "The line of the northern grassland, at least ten princes need to be sealed. The rest of my life is enough to give birth to ten princes. ”

Ning Xiang teased: "It's really laughing to death, the husband's original plan was to use Zhu Wenfang as a fertility tool, let him recruit the harem, and spread the branches for the royal family." As a result, he is very chic, but you are struggling to make fertility tools here.

And it's fifteen women over and over again, and they are not allowed to accept new ones, it's been ten years, and it is estimated that the husband is already very tired, right? ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu put forward a constructive suggestion: "Why don't you accept a few Mongolian women?" For example, isn't Qizig, the wife of Haraku, the daughter of Yexian, I heard that she is not very favored in Haraku, and her husband can take her over to comfort and comfort. ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Even if I want to learn from Cao Thief, I don't want this, the sons of Hara Kuchu and Qi Qige are ten years old."

Don't look at Hara's bitterness, who was once obsessed with women, shouting to keep planting or something.

In fact, his eldest son, Bayan Mengke, has always been taken by Agabarzi, and I heard that the young master Hutuketu has recently taken him back to Wulianghai, which is the real kind of stay. ”

Zhu Qiyu changed to a comfortable posture and leaned on, and then sighed. In history, Dayan Khan, who was killed by Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor of Zhengde of our Ming Dynasty, that is, the one who reunified Mongolia and was called the little prince by the Ming Dynasty, is the son of Bayan Mengke and the grandson of Haraku.

The territory of the Mongol khanates was too vast, and it was really difficult to kill people.

It can really be said that the wildfire is inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

"Why don't we do an assassination as well?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "That's not good, we are the Heavenly Empire, and we must maintain political correctness." Assassination is absolutely not allowed to be done.

Once the rules are broken, everyone will lose the bottom line in doing things, and it will be a mess.

Even the ministers won't agree, if you assassinate someone today, you can assassinate the ministers tomorrow.

We now actually have three major spy agencies: the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Inner Factory, and the government and the opposition have gradually become vigilant.

These officials are not stupid, they are naturally against the factory guards. ”

Ning Xiang retorted slightly: "Our Jingtai Dynasty's factory guards are already gentle enough, they have been silent in recent years, but they haven't shown their faces at all." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The Big Buddha doesn't let go of the knife in his hand, and I haven't used the factory guard too much before." But after the war with the Mongols, I was going to significantly strengthen the factory guard. The more peacetime there is, the more it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the entire empire. ”

Ning Xiang changed the subject: "The last batch of Japanese cargo ships has arrived this year, and another 30,000 taels of gold have been added to the reserve. In addition, there are 1.2 million taels of silver in the account, plus the 3 million taels of silver allocated by our internal funds, which is enough to support another month or two for the time being. ”

Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he heard this, it was really a cannon sound, and there were ten thousand taels of gold. More than four million taels of silver, not counting copper coins, you told me that it was enough to support a month or two.

The Ming and Yuan wars, spending money like running water.

Don't look at the process of the war, it doesn't look too dangerous, if it weren't for the considerable national strength accumulated in the past ten years, the logistics supply would have collapsed until this autumn.

In that case, Agabarzi could really win.

Ning Xiang comforted: "Husband, don't feel too sorry for the silver, we can see the money back." Tian Huiqing went to Annan to buy 1 million stone of grain, which was shipped to Tongzhou by sea and delivered.

The household department issued a bill of exchange of 500,000 taels, and our Qi Wangfu is the owner behind it, and most of this money is left in Denglai to expand our own maritime trade business. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked: "One million stone of grain, by sea from Annan to Beijing, the household department only gave 500,000 taels of silver, is it too picky?" ”

"We mainly rely on the opportunity to transport grain and engage in trade along the way. For example, the mountain treasures of Liaodong, the porcelain of Jiangxi, and the silk of Zhejiang were transported to Annam, Myanmar and other places for sale, and then grain and grass were purchased and shipped back. By the way, he received a batch of overseas spices and treasures and returned them to the mainland for resale.

Take this trip, you can make a net profit of four or five hundred thousand taels. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled knowingly: "Is this considered collusion between officials and businessmen?" ”

Ning Xiang asked rhetorically: "How can Daddy say that, Tian Huiqing is an imperial businessman, who raises food for the country and serves the country." ”

"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing."

"Tian Huiqing is coming to Beijing, do you want to meet him, comfort him, and then arrange the future strategy."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I just want to be with you, I'm tired of seeing other people." You go and see it, say what you have to say, and I don't want to worry about business matters. ”

……

On the tenth day of October, twenty miles east of Dongsheng City.

The Ming army, which supported Dongsheng, began to urgently set up camp.

The grain and grass were surrounded by a circle of chariots, and 20,000 auxiliaries hid behind the chariots, ready to use bows and crossbows and artillery to kill the enemy.

Around the periphery, there were 20,000 Tiance guards, 15,000 Baoding guards, 10,000 battalions of state guards, and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers.

This time, Baodingwei was mainly used as heavy infantry. Each guard of 5,000 men formed a phalanx, relying on bows and crossbows to support the cavalry.

The commander of the troops was Liu Chang, the Marquis of Wu'an, Hao Yi, the commander of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Zhang Ying, the commander of the Baoding Guard.

The pressure of the three is extremely high, and these troops are not enough to protect all sides.

In Dongsheng City, He Yi and Xu Yongning decisively transferred 30,000 infantry and 30,000 auxiliaries, advanced in formation, converged with the reinforcements, and undertook the defense of the western side of the reinforcements.

At the same time, the Shaanxi-Gansu border army had already taken the surrendered city, Xu Heng, the Duke of Anguo, stayed behind to preside over the army, and Li Xuan, the Duke of Cao, and King Su led 50,000 elite cavalry, bypassing the grassland on the north side, and went straight to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

The camp of Agabarji was at the southern foot of Yin Mountain.

This can also be regarded as encircling Wei to save Zhao.

The Ming army planned to besiege the main force of the Mongol army from the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, Xihetao, Dongshengcheng, and the Yellow River.

In the camp of the Mongol army, Agabarzi had a fierce dispute with the Taishi Maoli Child.

Mao Lizi was already discouraged: "If the report of the outpost is correct, the elite of the border army of the Ming Dynasty will have two more days, at most three days, and they will be able to reach the northern foot of Yinshan, and then we will be completely blocked between the Yellow River and Yinshan, and we will not be able to enter Shanxi or retreat back to the grassland."

An army of more than 100,000 will only destroy this road.

We will now immediately withdraw our camp and withdraw to the north, or there may be a way out. ”

Agabarzi shook his head and said nothing. The timing of the Ming army's choice was too annoying: the Mongol army would definitely not enter the mountains to ambush the Ming army, for fear of being counter-ambushed. The Ming army this time is completely different from the original Ming army of Tumubao.

The mobile advantage of the cavalry in the mountains could not be brought into play, and if they collided with the heavily armored and crossbow Ming army that had been prepared for a long time, they would not be able to bargain at all, and they would send themselves in if they couldn't get it.

Therefore, they could only wait for the Ming army to enter the open land of the plain east of Dongshengcheng before volleying.
