The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 839 The imperial driver's personal conquest (please subscribe and ask for a ticket)
Most of the spies sent by Pizarro were Indian bananas who had naturalized in Spain and began to convert to God.

Because, if the spies he sent north were white-skinned Spaniards, it would be too conspicuous.

As for the banana man, it is more hidden and easier to gain the trust of the Indians.

In this way, it will be easier to detect the specific situation in the north.

Under the deliberate investigation of the Spaniards, the news that Da Ming's manpower appeared in the New World could not be hidden, and they got the exact news soon.

By a big river in the north, there was indeed a team of Ming people appearing.

It has been two or three years since the Ming team set up camp by a big river and established a settlement.

In the past two or three years, those Ming people also actively communicated with the Indians and colluded with each other.

It is said that many chiefs of Indian tribes accepted the official positions conferred by Ming Dynasty and became officials of Ming Dynasty.

And where the weapons of those Indian tribes came from is already very clear.

When Pizarro heard the news, his heart felt a little chilled.

His face turned slightly pale.

Not because of anything else, but because of Da Ming's actions in the New World.

Daming has come to the New World, so can the Spaniards still have one?

Somewhat panicked, Pizarro summoned General El to discuss the matter, and explained his worries to General El.

"Your Excellency, the current situation is like this!"

"The Ming people appeared in the New World, and they are still linking up with the Indians in the north. They may go south to attack New Spain at any time."

"This time the Indians went south, maybe the Ming people were obstructing it!"

"How should I deal with this?"

General El picked up his coffee and took a sip.

The mellow aroma of coffee exploded in his mouth, and he stared at Pizarro with strange eyes.

General El was a little puzzled, what is going on in Pizarro's brain circuit, is he so afraid of Mingren?
Fearing the light like a tiger?

"Why should the governor be worried?"

"So what if the Ming people can reach the New World? How long have they been operating in the New World? How many troops can they have?"

"And we, Spain, have been operating the New World for 200 years, and our heritage is extremely profound."

"How could those wise men threaten New Spain?"

"You know, the Pacific Ocean is wider than the Atlantic Ocean."

"Ming is certainly powerful, but it is not so easy for Ming people to project power across the Pacific Ocean, and the power they can project in the New World is bound to be limited."

"Your Excellency, it is not us who should be worried now, but Mingren!"

"After we figure out the exact location of Mingren's camp, I suggest that we send troops to destroy Mingren's camp."

"Tell those Ming people, in the New World, who has the final say!"

When Pizarro heard this, he was also a little moved.

But he didn't make a decision hastily, but said in a deep voice.

"Before mobilizing troops against the Ming people's camp, adequate preparations must be made."

"You know, the Ming people are not the group of native Indians!"

"Behind them is a rather huge super empire as a backer."

Suddenly, Pizarro had a flash of inspiration.

It occurred to him that maybe they could use the Ming people's stronghold in the New World to make a fuss.

Using the settlements of the Ming people as a threat, they forced the Ming people to enter into peace talks with Spain and stop hostilities.

Take the opportunity to request the restoration of Spain's global routes, so that Spain can re-participate in the trade between the East and the West.

If the Ming people agree, they can withdraw their troops and allow the Ming people to establish settlements on the New World.

And promise not to attack Mingren's stronghold.

If the Ming people don't agree, then it won't be too late for them to mobilize troops to pull out the Ming people's stronghold in the New World!

As the governor of New Spain, Pizarro did not want to start a senseless war.

But Pizarro didn't mind going to war with the Ming, if necessary, for the benefit of Spain.

Because this matter is necessary, if it can be done, then Pizarro may become the hero of the whole of Spain.

The king had to meet him in person to reward him for his great service to Spain.

After the loss, Spain realized how important the East-West trade is to itself!

Now the whole of Spain is eager to resume the East-West trade.

Pizarro expressed his vision to General El.

"After determining the exact location of Mingren's camp, we may be able to send troops to attack and surround it."

"Threatening the Ming people in that camp, I demanded that the Ming Empire negotiate peace with Spain in order to restore Spain's global shipping routes and allow Spain to re-participate in the trade between the East and the West."

When General El heard this, there was a flash of emotion on his face.

After pondering for a while, he had to admit that Pizarro was right.

It is really important for Spain to resume east-west trade and global routes.

This is a very urgent matter!
"This matter may be feasible, but we also need to plan carefully!"

"..."

……

The end of the seventh year of the restoration of Ming Dynasty!

Nanjing, the Forbidden City!

Zhu Hongyu sat behind the desk in the imperial study, and Wang Guanghan, head of the logistics department of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, submitted a report to his desk.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the list of materials that I, Daming, have stored in the nine border towns of the Northland for going out of the fortress."

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Hongyu asked the soldiers of the Ming army to go out and clear the grassland.

Before mobilizing troops, it is natural to figure out how much material and weapons you have in reserve for use.

At that time, it is better to dispatch the army according to the amount of materials and weapons stored by Daming!
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, picked up the report and read it.

As he flipped through the report, the expression on Zhu Hongyu's face gradually became cheerful.

After several years of accumulation, the current Jiubian Town has a total of more than [-] million shi of grain.

Most of them are new food!
There are [-] muskets of various types, which is the reserve figure excluding the equipment of the active troops.

There are [-] field artillery pieces of different calibers. This is the number that can be pulled to the grassland for decisive battles after excluding the city defense artillery required for each pass.

120 million catties of gunpowder, all of which are granulated black gunpowder.

There are 30 artillery shells, including 20 flower shells, [-] shot shells, [-] chain shells, and [-] solid shells.

500 bullets in custom-made paper shells.

Half of them are for the consumption of the rotary machine gun.

In addition, there are 500 catties of medicinal materials needed for various types of trauma and internal injuries, [-] sets of brand-new military uniforms, [-] million stones of feed, [-] sets of armor, countless swords, and countless bows and arrows.

There are 20 war horses available for mobilization, and [-] poor horses.

Zhu Hongyu looked a little dumbfounded.

After several years of successive reserves, he had already stored such an astonishing amount of supplies in Nine Sides without knowing it.

With so many supplies, how could it be unreasonable for the imperial court to send troops to the north this time?
Even if it is piled with money, it can kill all the Tartars on the grassland.

Zhu Hongyu laughed and said.

"That's right, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has done a good job!"

"With these materials, I believe that Ming Dynasty will be able to completely conquer the grassland."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu continued.

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the cabinet should make overall arrangements, and prepare for the conquest by the emperor!"

"I want to go to the grassland in person to watch my great Ming athletes hunt captives!"

When Wang Guanghan heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he still spoke persuasively.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold. Since he is in charge of the capital, it is enough for a general to lead troops to guard against captives. How can His Majesty be allowed to go to the front line to take risks?"

"If something unbearable happens, it will be my great misfortune!"

"I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

Zhu Hongyu was not annoyed when he heard the words, but just spoke.

"I've made up my mind on this matter. The Qing family doesn't need to persuade you any more. Let's make preparations."

"Back then, Taizu Chengzu did not compete for his achievements, and I will personally complete them!"

When Wang Guanghan heard the words, he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he just bowed down and said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

After speaking, he left.

After he returned to the government office of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, Wang Guanghan's expression changed drastically, and he directly went to discuss matters with the other chief officials of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

We are going to ask everyone to jointly write a letter, admonishing the emperor not to conscript himself.

Since ancient times, those who have conquered by the driving force have either won a big victory or lost a big one.

In the Ming Dynasty alone, there were two examples.

A positive example is Zhu Di, Zhu Lao Si on the banks of the Onan River is heroic and heroic, with his hands in his pockets and he doesn't know what an opponent is.

A negative example is the God of War in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Mingmen in the Tumu Fort cried with his head in his arms, he was beaten and didn't know how to fight back.

The current situation facing the Ming Dynasty can be called a good one. Even if the emperor does not personally conquer, the result of this Northern Expedition will definitely be a big victory.

That being the case, why did the emperor take the risk of personally conquering?
If it wasn't for the emperor's personal conquest, even if the army was defeated in the Northern Expedition, it would be a big deal to organize an army to fight again.

Daming now has the ability to bear the risk of defeat!

You can't fight twice once, and you can't fight three times twice. Sooner or later, you can use your national strength to level the grassland.

But if the emperor's personal conquest is to happen, if there is another civil fort change, then the sky will really fall, Daming can't hold on to such a toss!

The news that the emperor wanted to take the imperial conquest in person quickly spread, not only in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, but even the cabinet got the news.

Everyone is connecting with each other, trying to persuade the emperor!

……

It's night, Biyuxuan.

Zhu Hongyu lay on the couch, letting his beloved little wild horse gallop on him.

Although the weather has turned cold now, the palace is still as warm as spring because of the floor heating.

After the matter was over, Qiqigetan opened her mouth slightly, and lay on Zhu Hongyu's chest like a docile kitten, her little face was full of laziness.

Listening to Zhu Hongyu's strong heartbeat, she curled up in Zhu Hongyu's arms, yearning for the scent of Zhu Hongyu's body.

"Your Majesty~"

Qiqige suddenly spoke in a gentle and sweet voice.

Zhu Hongyu coughed lightly, and then said.

"What's the matter? Don't get mad."

"This is not like you!"

In Zhu Hongyu's impression, Qiqige has always been a wild girl, not the kind of good baby who can act like a baby with a sweet and greasy voice.

Qiqige smiled and said in a flattering tone.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you want to go to the Northern Expedition in person?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to caress Qiqige's smooth back, feeling the sensitive reaction of the little wild horse's body, he opened his mouth to answer.

"Yes, where did you hear that?"

Qiqige smiled coquettishly and asked questions instead of answering.

"Can His Majesty take the concubine with him during the Northern Expedition? The concubine wants to go back to the grassland to have a look."

"I want to ride horses on the grassland with His Majesty, I want to hunt and shepherd sheep with hounds..."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu fell into silence for a while, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The expression on his face was that of contemplation.

He was thinking, is it necessary for the Northern Expedition to bring Qiqige?

Or, after bringing her along, will it be good for my Northern Expedition?

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Hongyu had to admit that he brought Qiqige to the Northern Expedition, which might really have the effect of stabilizing the place.

Qiqige is a descendant of the golden family.

If I can take Qiqige on the Northern Expedition, it should be able to reduce a lot of resistance on the grassland.

When the herdsmen on the grassland surrendered to Daming, they would feel much less psychological pressure.

They are surrendering to the son-in-law of the golden family, not to the enemy.

Thinking about these things, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll take you with me if I want to go!"

"However, I promised to take you to the grassland with me, so don't you have to behave well?"

While speaking, Zhu Hongyu looked down.

Qiqige didn't feel shy when she heard the words, after all, they were old couples, she just lowered her head and got under the quilt...

In the next moment, Zhu Hongyu showed a relaxed expression on his face.

……

On the second day, although Zhu Hongyu had worked all night last night, he still woke up energetically at dawn.

On the contrary, Qiqige was exhausted and was still sleeping soundly.

Because the whole process of last night can be summed up in one sentence: Sit up and move by yourself!

Lying on the bed, her mouth was slightly opened, revealing her sparkling teeth and pink tongue, she looked extremely cute.

Zhu Hongyu looked a little moved, but he held back after all.

Qiqige's eyebrows were still full of exhaustion, she was too tired last night, so I won't bother her today.

Get dressed, wash up, do morning exercises, have breakfast...

Zhu Hongyu finished his breakfast in a restful manner, then changed into the imperial mianfu, and headed for Fengtian Hall.

Today is another customary day.

The end of the year is coming soon, and all ministries of the imperial court are preparing to report to the emperor, so Zhu Hongyu can't be lazy.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

After Zhu Hongyu sat on the dragon chair, his personal eunuch shouted loudly.

After the chief eunuch finished speaking, someone stood up and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and spoke.

"speak!"

The official who stood up was Zuo Xinran, and he was the censor of the right capital of the Inspectorate of the Ming Dynasty.

Well, the speaker!
Seeing Zuo Xinran come out, Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, thinking that he was going to impeach someone again.

Although Zhu Hongyu is indifferent to speech officials, he knows that empty talk is harmful to the country.

But he had to admit that if the speech officer is used well, it will also be beneficial to the government.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, Yanguan was indeed used as a tool for party struggle. A group of Yanguan impeached indiscriminately, causing a mess in the court.

But if you think about it from another angle, the existence of officials can also greatly deter those corrupt officials in the court.

After all, there is a group of trolls standing there who are innocent. As long as you are wrong, whoever is caught and trolling, even the emperor will not let go. Who can not be afraid?
As long as officials still have fear in their hearts, there will naturally be less blatant corruption.

Besides, in the matter of party disputes, is it the officials who are wrong?
It's obviously a party dispute. What's the matter with Guan Yanguan?
They are just a knife.

It is impossible for a murderer to use a knife to kill someone, and he should be convicted of the knife during the trial, right?
Isn't that bullshit?
Although the speaker is indeed at risk of being used by party struggles, shouldn't he exist as a monitoring mechanism?
The judge is innocent!
Guilty is partisanship.

What's wrong is that the officials don't talk about evidence, but hearsay.

rather than the speaker itself.

Zuo Xinran stepped out of the courtroom, adjusted the official robes on his body, and said.

"My minister heard that His Majesty wants to conquer the grasslands in the north, so I came here to advise you!"

"Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold. He is responsible for the rise and fall of the world and the survival of the country. You must not personally take risks."

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice and take it back!"

Seeing that he was persuaded, Zhu Hongyu didn't get annoyed, but just spoke in a calm tone.

"There is no need to mention this matter again, I have made up my mind!"

"After the New Year's Eve, I will personally lead the imperial guards northward."

Zhu Hongyu's voice fell, and more people stood up to persuade him.

"I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't forget the old things about Yingzong."

"Your Majesty is the most important thing in the world, and there must be no mistakes."

"..."

Zhu Hongyu just shook his head and said.

"Emperor Yingzong was born in a deep palace and fought in the hands of a woman, so he is not good at military affairs."

"When leading troops to the Northern Expedition, it can be said that there are constant tricks."

"There is a change in civil engineering, and it is also self-inflicted!"

While speaking, Zhu Hongyu directly put the blame for the civil fort change on Zhu Qizhen's head.

Although Wang Zhen is not a good guy, but in the Tumu Fort change, he is basically responsible for Zhu Qizhen.

The courtiers below may take the blame for His Holiness and blame Wang Zhen.

But Zhu Hongyu didn't care.

It is not terrible to make a mistake. The most terrible thing is to know that you have made a mistake and still not correct it. Instead, you try your best to cover up your self-deception.

The credibility of the imperial court is exhausted bit by bit in constant self-deception.

Besides, Zhu Hongyu had long since disliked that bastard Zhu Qizhen.

It's fine if you get captured during your f*cking Civil Fortress change, I don't blame you, there's no way around it.

But your food is good, don't be so bad!
After you are captured, even if you can't commit suicide and die for the country like Chongzhen, "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country", don't be Zhu Mingmen!
His behavior of bringing the enemy's army to call his own city gate is so fucking inferior to those two bastards, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong.

Although those two bastards kept making troubles, at least they didn't take the golden soldiers to knock on the gate of Lin'an, right?

This product is simply inferior to the two emperors of Huiqin, the lower limit floor tiles of these two emperors.

The system of the Ming Dynasty was really ruined by Zhu Qizhen.

More importantly, if you seize the door, you will be the one who seized the door. Why did you kill Yu Qian?

Yu Qian made such great contributions in the defense of the capital, and he was a clean and honest official. There was nothing wrong with him. Yu Qian didn't even participate in your seizure of the door. You won't be able to stand up if you kill Yu Qian, okay?
Zhu Qizhen really belongs to the kind of food that is bad at the same time.

"However, I started at the end of the century and personally led the troops to fight. I have been invincible in several years of battles and have not lost any traces. Only then can I recover my Ming Dynasty and take control of Nanjing."

"It's definitely not a weak emperor like Emperor Yingzong who doesn't know military affairs."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind."

After speaking, Zhu Hongyu got up from the dragon chair and ordered to retreat.

Faced with such a monarch with almost unlimited power, the courtiers can only choose to obey.

No one has the confidence to fight against the emperor!
Don't look at the emperor's attitude towards those who persuade him is not bad, but if he really pissed off the emperor, no one can afford the consequences.

……

Time passed quickly, and the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty passed in joy.

The fact that the emperor wants to drive the northern expedition to the grasslands is also known to everyone.

At the beginning of the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, the matter of the emperor's personal expedition to the grasslands in the north was finally finalized.

Zhu Hongyu ordered the queen to oversee the country, and the cabinet to assist the government, while he was planning to set off northward with [-] imperial guards himself.

Get ready for a personal conquest!
Most of the troops he was going to carry were cavalry.

To fight on the grassland, to some extent, the infantry is a bit of a drag.

After all, the enemy is all cavalry. Even if you win with infantry, you will never be able to catch up.

It's better to use all the cavalry. Although the consumption must be more than that of the infantry, Zhu Hongyu is not short of money!
As long as he can win, Zhu Hongyu doesn't care how much money he spends.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the combat army going out of the fortress.

Since Zhu Hongyu wanted to conquer the imperial army himself, in addition to the cavalry, he also needed a certain number of elite infantry to guard the imperial army to ensure the safety of the imperial army.

Not just cavalry!

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Guangfu, Yu Jia was about to set off.

Zhu Hongyu wore a military uniform and rode out of the city on horseback.

And behind him is a full set of guards of honor for the emperor, as well as teams of imperial guards.

These Imperial Guard soldiers carried muskets, wore bright silver breastplates, and walked on the concrete road in Nanjing City to the beat of drums.

The iron boots clanged on the ground, and clouds of smoke and dust billowed up.

And behind these infantry, there are countless groups of cavalry.

The tall horses, majestic and mighty knights, and the sharp armor are all shocking.

Then, there are field artillery and tanks equipped with rotary machine guns.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the Ming army is victorious!"

"Northern Expedition! Seal the wolves to live in Xu, and block Shi Yanran!"

"Show me the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

The people on both sides of the road who came to watch the excitement cheered endlessly, cheering for this mighty division who was about to set foot on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.

Feel free to express your enthusiasm!
Some women even threw their personal sachet embroidered handkerchiefs to these soldiers who were about to go out, and let out bursts of ear-piercing screams.

"Don't you see, the army at the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crowned captives invite long tassels!"

"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!"

"A man's behavior is in danger, how can he miss this life because of the crown of Confucianism..."

"..."

"Burning with anger, leaning on the railing, the drizzle is resting. Looking up, looking up to the sky and screaming, with a strong heart..."

"..."

Amidst bursts of military songs, the morale of the expedition army was high.

After leaving the city, Yu Jia crossed the river directly from the ferry in Nanjing.

Then, boarded the train north to the capital in Yangzhou.

That's right, it's the train!
After several years of hard work, tens of thousands of foreign prisoners of war were buried under the railway sleepers.

This railway connecting the north and south of Ming Dynasty and Beijing has finally been completely repaired, and a trial run experiment has been done.

This time Zhu Hongyu's royal driver was going north, and he was going to march through this railway.

Carriages gathered at the railway station outside Yangzhou City.

The stations along the way have received the news, and while preparing to pick up the train, they are preparing to replenish water and coal for the train in advance.

After Zhu Hongyu boarded the train in person, the various departments of the Imperial Guard also began to board the train according to different arrangements.

About 100 people in a company occupy two compartments, and 50 people in one compartment.

To say that it is crowded, it is indeed a bit crowded, but it is actually okay.

The hard sleeper trains of later generations have almost the same density of people.

A little cramped for sure, but not unbearable.

……

In Zhu Hongyu's special car, he was wearing a military uniform and sitting on a sofa.

The dragon pattern on the epaulets is dazzling, and the cuffs and neckline of his clothes are all embroidered with golden thread dragon patterns.

Zhu Hongyu crossed his legs and flipped through a report.

On the opposite side of him, several officials from the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as Zhou Tianxu, the commander of Jinyiwei, sat in a row to receive the emperor's lecture.

"From the current point of view, the situation is like this!"

"The actions of my Ming Dynasty have not been able to hide the truth from the grassland ministries. In the face of the imperial court's conquest, the grassland ministries are also making corresponding preparations."

Xu Bin opened his mouth to report.

When Burni attacked Zhangjiakou in the Ming Dynasty, the grassland ministries did not join in the fun.

Because they know that they can't beat the current Daming.

Get together with Burni, that is to give away the head!
As long as Da Ming reacted from the surprise attack, Burni would be finished.

As it turned out, Burnie was really doomed.

He has been dancing in Nanjing for several years!

However, they dare not take the initiative to attack Da Ming, but if Da Ming wants to beat them, they will not lie down and die equally.

A group of people got together and planned to have a fight with Da Ming, which was their response to Da Ming.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and asked.

"What about Mobei? Is there any action? Is Monan Mobei linked together or Guangmonan moving?"

Xu Bin replied after hearing the words.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the tribes in Mobei and Monnan on the grassland have basically moved this time. The leaders of the tribes gathered in Hang'ai Mountain, preparing to make an oath of alliance in Hara and Lin, and then launch a southward invasion."

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, his slightly squinted eyes instantly opened, and he just said with a sneer.

"Haha, interesting, really interesting!"

"As Hara and Lin Meng swear, it seems that they still want to restore the glory of Mongolia in the past."

"It doesn't matter if they are all together, after this battle, I will make them sing and dance well from now on!"

Zhu Hongyu's eyes were full of contempt and disdain.

Now he has only four words for those who are gathered in Hara and Lin now.

I don't know the number of days!

Do they think that they are still the same Mongolia that swept across the Eurasian continent and looked at everyone as rubbish?
Even Qi Qige, who was standing behind Zhu Hongyu in military uniform and looked heroic, couldn't help but complain.

"Are they courting death?"

She has stayed in Daming for so long, and she basically knows how strong Daming is now.

Not to mention anything else, just the train they are taking now is a real miracle.

In addition, there are countless new types of weapons in Ming Dynasty.

Those chariots equipped with rotary machine guns will be complete life-harvesting machines once they arrive on the battlefield.

Makes the scalp tingly.

Qiqige didn't understand who gave those people the courage to go against Daming.

Didn't you see that even Burni, the Khan of the golden family, is lying flat in Nanjing now?

"However, this is also good. They gathered their troops together, and the provincial imperial army filled the grasslands to find them."

"Only by annihilating them in one battle can we show the prestige of the country!"

Zhu Hongyu's expression changed, and he said with a smile.

Qiqige on the side opened her mouth when she heard the words, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"I also hope that His Majesty will kill less after defeating those traitors. This concubine is willing to stand up for His Majesty and persuade the herdsmen on the grassland to submit to Daming."

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he just nodded and said.

"That's natural!"

"In my eyes, the herdsmen on the grasslands are also my people. When I send troops to suppress the rebellion, I only punish the evil ones, and I will definitely not kill them wantonly."

As an emperor, the most important thing is to have an ambition to enter the world.

If he, the emperor, did not regard the herdsmen on the grassland as his own people, then the grassland would never be truly peaceful.

Of course, Zhu Hongyu really didn't treat the Mongolians on the grassland as outsiders.

You must know that among the Nine Frontiers of Ming Dynasty, there are many Mongols who have surrendered and joined the army.

It wasn't just the Mongols, among the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the number of minorities of all ethnic groups was not small.

There are Mongols, Jurchens who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, Daurs, Oroqens, and Saurons in the Northeast, and there are Qiangs, Tibetans, and Uyghurs in the frontier army in the northwest...

Among the cavalry of the Ming army, the ratio of Han people to Shaomin has almost reached a ratio of one to one.

Although he didn't want to admit it, those young people were indeed better than the Han people in terms of riding skills.

Moreover, Daming also recruited a lot of young people to form an army in the southwest and the Nanyang region.

Zhu Hongyu, who traveled from later generations, was indoctrinated with the idea that 56 ethnic groups belong to one family since he was a child. He really didn't treat Shaomin as outsiders.

Of course, the Shaomin here refers to those who actively accepted Sinicization and gradually assimilated with the Han people.

In his eyes, these people can be regarded as his own.

Those real die-hard diehards who refuse to accept Sinicization, when it is time to strangle, Zhu Hongyu will not show mercy.

As if remembering something, Zhu Hongyu then asked.

"Those tribes on the prairie want to swear an oath to Hara and Lin. Who is the leader elected?"

Zhu Hongyu was really curious about this.

Most of the direct descendants of the Jin family, that is, the family members of the Burni family, were brought to Nanjing by Zhu Hongyu and placed under house arrest.

And without the Golden Family as a signboard, who would those grassland tribes recommend to be the leader?

Besides the Golden Family, are there any people on the grassland who can convince others?
Zhou Tianxu on the side spoke.

"Your Majesty, according to the report sent back by the brothers of Jin Yiwei, the leaders elected by those tribes in Hara and Lin are the descendants of Yexian, the Grand Master of the Wara tribe."

"A guy named Eridimu."

Qiqige at the side heard the words, but snorted very disdainfully.

"The Oirats? They are just the horse slaves of my golden family at the foot of Mount Kent. He is also qualified to be the leader?"

Qiqige is very proud of her golden family blood.

This kind of pride seems to be justified, and no one thinks it is wrong.

Zhu Hongyu just patted Qiqige's hand lightly as a comfort.

"The descendants of Yexian, it seems that these Mongols want to build another civil fort!"

When speaking, Zhu Hongyu's words were full of disdain.

Xu Bin who was on the side heard the words, and remonstrated in a persuasive way.

"This time the imperial conquest, His Majesty's visit to Beidu is a great encouragement to the frontline soldiers!"

"To be on the safe side, Your Majesty must not leave the customs!"

Wang Ruxian on the side also spoke.

"That's right, Your Majesty. His Majesty is already able to boost morale when he is in the northern capital. The soldiers will definitely fight to the death. Your Majesty does not need to go out."

When Zhu Hongyu heard the words, he just waved his hands and said.

"I've said it, I've made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me anymore!"

When the two heard the words, they had no choice but to nod.

……

As time went by, all units of the Praetorian Guard were boarded.

With a dull whistle, the train started.

There was a sound of friction between the wheels and the rails, and the steam train began to steam, heading north all the way.

Gradually, with the accumulation of inertia, the speed of the steam train began to get faster and faster.

From the beginning, it was almost like a human walking, but soon it became a trot speed, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The speed of the steam train is almost twenty kilometers per hour.

Well, it is much slower than the electric cars of later generations.

It's just that, although this speed sounds quite slow, but after calculation, 480 kilometers per hour, that's [-] kilometers per day.

This is even faster than the legendary [-]-mile rush.

Marching at an accelerated speed of more than eight hundred miles, in the eyes of people in this era, is no different from a miracle.

Zhu Hongyu was sitting on the sofa dealing with government affairs, taking a sip from his teacup from time to time.

The noise on the train was very loud, but Zhu Hongyu was able to sit comfortably.

Qiqige was standing by the window, looking out of the window curiously.

Seeing the scene outside the window quickly receding, her eyes were full of surprise.

Although she knew about trains, she never thought that trains could run so fast.

This speed is not much slower than a horse!

And, more importantly, horses need to rest, but as long as the fuel and water are constant, the train can run fast day and night without rest at all.

The words of traveling thousands of miles a day, which are similar to legends, have become a fact in Daming at this time.

With this sharp weapon in the Ming Dynasty, the army can travel thousands of miles a day, and after reaching the battlefield, they can immediately go into battle with abundant physical strength and energy. How terrifying is this?
How could the tribes on the grassland be the opponents of Ming Dynasty?

It's really not surprising that Qiqige is pessimistic about the future of the grassland.

In her opinion, if the Mongols on the grassland want to have a future, actively integrating into Ming Dynasty and becoming a part of Ming Dynasty is their only way out.

This is why she begged Zhu Hongyu to take her with him during the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Hongyu wanted to use Qiqige's identity to recruit the various Mongolian tribes on the grassland, and Qiqige also wanted to use his identity to recruit as many people as possible to join Daming, so as to prevent the Ming army from massacring on the grassland.

As Zhu Hongyu's bedside person, Qiqige knew what kind of personality this great son of heaven had.

If you submit to him, he will be the most benevolent, kind, wise and generous king in the world.

But if you rebel against him, there is no lack of the ruthlessness of the emperor who bleeds a million when he is angry.

Myanmar is the most typical example!
Under the attack of the Burmese Allied Forces, Burma lost more than a million people!
Qiqige could vaguely see the shadow of Genghis Khan from Zhu Hongyu.

What is the hero?

The one with the world in mind is the hero!
The emperor in front of him is the real one with the world in mind.

All the people in the world are in his heart.

Zhu Hongyu looked up and saw Qiqige lying by the window looking at the scenery, her full and round buttocks supported her military uniform in an astonishing arc.

Uniform temptation?

Zhu Hongyu coughed lightly, walked behind him, patted his butt lightly, and asked.

"looking at what?"

"..."
