Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 515
After a little probing, Jiang Yueguang stopped talking.

In the end, he took a thoughtful look at Zhou Shixian, which made the latter feel nervous, and then walked away slowly.

Zhou Shixian was afraid: "Princess, why is Jiang staying behind?"

"I'm afraid it's a reminder, or a warning."

Princess Changping sighed, and said, "Don't meddle in the court affairs, let's accept the reality!"

For Jiang Riguang, this is the love and care for Princess Changping.

In the final analysis, he was once a courtier of Emperor Chongzhen, and now there is only one orphan left, and he really can't bear to let him be compromised in the slightest.

Naturally, the civil and military officials couldn't hear anything, they just saw Jiang Riguang talking with Princess Changping from a distance, and then left.

Returning to the left-behind yamen, Jiang Riguang saw the deputy left-behind Chen Dong before he had a rest.

"Chen Zongbing, aren't you in Shanhaiguan?"

Jiang Yueguang said in surprise.

"Your Majesty is here to pick up the rations."

Chen Dong opened his mouth and said, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Jiang Yueguang frown and secretly sighed for being rude.

During the reign of Chongzhen, civil servants were naturally the third-rank military officer. Even if both of them stayed behind, but just because of the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Dong should bow deeply and greet him from afar.

"About military rations." Enduring discomfort, Jiang Yueguang said, "In Tianjin Wei, it should be here soon."

"In Shanhaiguan, Jiannu should be fine!"

"Ningyuan, the second guard of Guangning is lost, and the road outside Shanhaiguan is smooth, and it may be difficult just to defend the city."

When Chen Dong heard the words, his words were full of helplessness: "If you are only confined to the city gate, it may be difficult to hold on."

"However, since the family members are all in the pass, the Guan Ning army is quite determined, so there is no need to worry about it for a while."

"Since Shanhaiguan is in danger, we should do our best to defend it. How can we open up a battlefield and use one army for two purposes? Wouldn't it be a gap for Jiannu?"

Jiang Yueguang stated mercilessly that he expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chen Dong's desire to open up a battlefield again.

But Chen Dong retorted calmly: "Shanhai Pass still has a checkpoint at least, and the Chahar Department directly leads to the Xuan Mansion, Jiannu entered the pass many times, and even the Mongols invaded Gyeonggi through this, how can we sit idly by?" ?”

"Jiang stays behind, Beijing is going to be the capital, how can there be troubles around?"

"Now Beijing has [-] soldiers, Shanhaiguan has [-], and Xuanfu has [-]. It is precisely to show the country's prestige. Only by taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the slaves and solving the Chahar tribe once and for all can Beijing be as stable as a mountain."

The two argued, but neither could convince the other.

The next day, Tianjin Wei's food was approaching.Nanjing's decree came: courtesy first and soldiers later.

To put it simply, send someone to see if the Chahar people are obedient. If they are stubborn, they can only be destroyed humanely.

Therefore, Chen Dong must be prepared to send troops.

However, Chen Dong felt displeased with this kind of bullshitting: "What's the use of a submissive attitude? Only by solving the person, all problems will be solved."

And Jiang Yueguang was also dissatisfied, the risk of sending troops was too great, the grain reserves in Beijing could not be supplied for a long time, the only thing to do was to temporarily stop the war.

However, the will of the imperial court does not depend on their will.

So, a group of caravans and envoys went to the Chahar Ministry.

At this time, the ruler of the Chahar tribe was Lindan Khan's concubine, Abu Nai.

Chahanhot, the capital once built by Lin Dan Khan, is now an earthen enclosure, and many knee-high earthen walls have collapsed.

In it, a large number of yurts are erected like stars and moons, and only the middle one is particularly huge and extravagant.

The eight major tribes in Chahar (Haoqite, Naiman, Keshigten, Ujumqin, Sunit, Aohan, Alakjot, and Zhuxiti) lost their hearts and were incorporated into the Mongolian tribe. There are countless Eight Banners.

"Harvesting the Xuanfu?" Abu Nai was furious when he heard Liaodong's order: "The Ming people have hoarded a large number of troops in Xuanda. If we go to harass, it will be a waste of energy."

"Besides, how can I fight without weapons and armor and food for the expedition?"

In his twenties, Abu Nai is young and vigorous.

"But, Big Khan, it's Manchu!" the noble persuaded earnestly.

"So what about the Qing Dynasty?" Abu Nai said disdainfully, "Didn't he be chased away by the Ming people?"

Man Qing returned from inside the pass to outside the pass, it was nothing, the key was that its strength was greatly damaged, and its control over the Mongolian tribes had been greatly reduced since then, which made its thoughts come alive.

After his elder brother Ezhe died of illness, Abu Nai took over the title, and he married Huang Taiji's second daughter, Princess Makata of Gulun Wenzhuang, according to the custom of Mongolian brothers' marriage.

Compared with his elder brother E Zhe's obedience, A Bu Nai is a bit carefree, and ignores the orders of Man Qing from time to time.

Sitting in the headquarters of Chahar, with thousands of troops, it is almost impossible to meet opponents in the Monan area. Coupled with the grievance of his father Lin Danhan's death, he hated the Manchu Qing more than he was grateful.

With the withdrawal of the Qing Dynasty from the customs, the influence on Chahar dropped sharply, and he naturally became ambitious.

No, when he first heard that Ming Shang had arrived, he couldn't wait to inquire about his true meaning, even if his princess wife objected, it would be of no avail.

"Tell me, what can Emperor Ming give me?"

Abu Nai swaggered on the wolfskin chair and asked the businessman in front of him directly.

"Emperor Ming is willing to recognize your rule over the grassland."

The businessman pretended to be an official has too much temperament, so he had to say: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the grassland has been ruled by the Jin family, and during the reign of Chongzhen, the privileges belonging to the Jin family were stolen by the women of Liaodong, and thus lost their sweat. "

As he spoke, he was filled with righteous indignation: "And Daming only recognizes that the descendants of the Jin family ruled Mongolia, not the Jurchens."

These words, however, came to the bottom of his heart.

In fact, ordinary Mongols don't care about the rule of the Jin family. There are no written and book records, and there are only legends about Genghis Khan.

Otherwise, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not have split into two regimes, Oala and Tatar, and then there would be Monan, Moxi, and Mobei.

And only the members of the Golden Family truly recognized this sentence.

For example, Abu Nai.

At this time, he talked about the history of the Golden Family in high spirits, eloquently recounting the glorious history, and finally concluded: "Without the Golden Family, there would be no Mongolia."

"Only members of the Golden Family can be great sweaters."

"As the descendants of Dayan Khan and Lindan Khan, the Great Khan naturally inherited his mantle and became the real lord of Mongolia."

Seeing his appearance, the businessman said loudly: "My Emperor Ming knew about this, so he sent me here to convey his support."

Abu Nai was disappointed when he heard the words: "What about your money and food? Empty words and white teeth are also called support?"
