Rule over Ming Dynasty

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

After night falls here, the lights are brightly lit, and dozens of palace maids and eunuchs are milling around one person.

Just when the white curtains were hung up in the Khan Court thousands of miles away, and the [-] cavalrymen from Datong and Beiyuan were at war with each other, it was also very intense here.

The Northern Concubine Ikesi is an authentic Mongolian beauty with a very charming pretty face, fair and graceful figure, and long hair.

Jingshi is very dignified and generous, but underneath this sunny personality, there is still a bit of wildness in his heart, and he even has a hint of strength in his heart.

The silver ring in the hand of the Northern Concubine Yi Kexi kept ringing, and the bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, but she still said stubbornly: "No...I won't accept it!".

"I'll make you take it tonight!" Zhu Youtang found that this girl was quite stubborn, so he immediately increased his firepower, showing off the majesty of a Chinese man.

News from the north has come back, and years of planning have finally paid off.

In fact, the biggest threats to the north have always been Mongolia and Dayan Khan. Dayan Khan is not only brave and good at fighting, but also the only descendant of the Golden Family, and can be regarded as the only person who can unify the entire grassland.

Just like the Chinese dynasties longed for the Zhou Dynasty, the Great Yuan Empire built by the Golden Family was quite influential, which would make many tribes whose lives were unsatisfactory choose to follow.

Since Manduhai can see the value of Dayan Khan, Zhu Youtang has naturally already seen the potential of Dayan Khan. Even if Dayan Khan does not go back on his promise and reveal a huge flaw this time, he will still try to destroy the unified prairie. the optimal solution.

"No...not convinced!"

Northern Concubine Yi Kexi found that Zhu Youtang tonight was a general who would never surrender, but she allowed him to manipulate her, biting her teeth and saying stubbornly.

At this moment, she didn't know if she was lucky that the blunt arrow she shot that day hit her?Or should I regret that arrow?Being in pain and happy.

In fact, she is not as stupid as Dayan Khan thinks, nor is she as loyal to Bei Yuan as Dayan Khan thinks.After all, she is a woman first, and now she has a husband who loves her, so there is no reason for her to be filial and loyal to her stepfather who is younger than her.

Not to mention, Zhu Youtang donated a batch of cotton cloth to Beiyuan in her name to protect against the winter. As a married woman, she naturally wants to care for her husband's family.

In fact, Zhu Youtang told her the plan to get rid of Dayan Khan in bed long before the incident happened, and she also knew that this was the best way to maintain peace between the two countries.

I would like to ask a person who goes back on his word and greedily wants to intercept the second batch of ordnance and supplies, especially trying to put himself in a dilemma. What reason do I have to help such a person?
After Dayan Khan was assassinated, news came that his mother had been killed by Yebu, and there was actually a "letter" written by his mother.

If my mother was really seriously injured and dying, how could her handwriting be unaffected at all? There was no reason to even write it herself. She really wanted to rub her IQ into the ground.

The scene in Xiyuan was performed by her and Zhu Youtang for the Mongolian spies. The purpose was not only to respond to Dayan Khan, but also to provide an opportunity for the two countries to restore peace.

In order to make her act like that, Zhu Youtang agreed that once the blunt arrow could hit her, she would have a special chance.

Now the promise is being fulfilled, but when she meets Zhu Youtang, who is now in a good mood, she will only be ravaged, not to mention that she wants to fight back against Zhu Youtang.

"Kneel down!" Zhu Youtang liked to conquer this woman who was a bit wild on the grassland, so he slapped her arm hard.

After many years of planning, history has finally undergone some subtle changes.

Not only has the Mongolian steppe failed to unify, but it has also evolved towards fragmentation, and will even be completely annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this ending is almost already doomed.

In line with the extremely short-sighted policy of sharing the blessings of peace, the Ming Dynasty he controlled did not give the Northern Yuan Dynasty a chance to unify, but chose to intervene in the chaos of the Mongolian forces.

A unified Mongolia will definitely point its finger at the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants long-term peace and stability, the best way is to prevent the rise of Dayan Khan.

It is precisely this way that after Zhu Youtang reshaped the Central France and consolidated the nine-sided granary, he also strengthened the construction of the army, but he formulated a "decapitation plan" early on.

The most subtle thing is that now that Dayan Khan dies, many conflicts will be exposed within Beiyuan, the most serious of which is the issue of successors.

Although Manduhai obtained all of Mandulu's property, the reason why he chose Dayan Khan, who was only four years old, was to take advantage of the only bloodline of Dayan Khan's golden family. In fact, it had the flavor of "holding the emperor against the emperor to order the princes."

It's just that Dayan Khan died. Not only did Manduhai lose the best golden sign of gathering the Mongolian tribes, but it also lost its best successor.

Although Dayan Khan left behind an heir who was just three months old, Mongolia, which advocates military power, does not overly superstitize blood. Even the Ming Dynasty did not support the two-year-old crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

That's why, whether Manduhai wants to stand up and become the "empress" or his son Azao, who is only three months old, will actually face great pressure.

"Your Majesty, I'm convinced! I'm convinced!"

The Northern Concubine Yixi was finally defeated. She shot Zhu Youtang with an arrow that day, but now she seems to have suffered a hundredfold "retaliation", and she can no longer hold on.

Zhu Youtang was not complacent because of his victory, but continued to attack and was thinking about new directions.

Although Mongolia's grasslands are more vast, since the Ming Dynasty chose to build the Northeast into the northern granary of the Ming Dynasty, it no longer urgently needs Mongolian soil.

Zhu Youtang slapped Yikesi's arm hard again, but said carefully: "Tomorrow, contact the contact point in Beijing and ask them to help you escape from here!"

"No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to give birth to a prince for Your Majesty!" Northern Concubine Yi Kexi hugged Zhu Youtang's arm tightly, but said with incomparable faith.

Zhu Youtang felt that this body was as warm and moist as jade, and finally he collapsed.

At this moment, everything was quiet except for the female officer writing down the time when the war ended in the rustling ground.

"How could I let you leave? It's impossible for you to escape from the palace. This is just a signal to your mother that you are in a bad situation!"

Zhu Youtang caressed this gentle and jade-like woman, but he revealed his inner plan.

Although Manduhai had a high reputation and held the last bloodline of the Golden Family, unlike Dayan Khan, Azo was too young after all.

There may not be a problem in the short term, but the long-term variables are really too great.

Manduhai wanted to maintain the situation in Beiyuan, but he did not have the capital to start a war with Ming Dynasty. Instead, he had to rely on the help of Ming Dynasty.To this day, the most effective buffer is still the original Princess Iksi of Beiyuan.When Yikesi heard that he was not going to drive him away, he seemed to be happily nestled in Zhu Youtang's arms, but he gently nodded and agreed to Zhu Youtang's arrangement.

Zhu Youtang knew that the current situation was actually an opportunity to invade Mongolia. If Manduhai was stimulated to go to war with him, the entire Beiyuan could easily fall apart with orphans and widowers.

It's just that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he also has to consider the financial issues of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention how much it would cost to conquer Mongolia, the Northeast Granary is currently being developed. Even if Mongolia is included, there will be no funds for further development.

That is why the Ming Dynasty maintained a chaotic and turbulent Mongolia at a low cost. This was in the best interests of China as a whole and could also avoid having to raise taxes on the people.

The wind from the north turned the grassland green, but it was a bit desolate.

Dayan Khan's body was taken deep into the grassland by a group of personal guards and buried vertically in a hollowed-out nanmu. He killed her cub in front of a female camel, causing the female camel to shed tears.

This era is cruel after all. No matter how absurd the contradiction is, many things are often resolved through fists.Unlike the scholar-officials who aspired to share the blessing of peace, the nomads were accustomed to looting.

Tuo Huochi is Mandu Hai's first general. This time he was ordered to lead one hundred thousand cavalry to Datong to knock off the pass.At first it was to raise an army to investigate the crime, but now that Dayan Khan is dead, it is natural to avenge Dayan Khan.

Due to some reasons, although they had arrived here a few days ago, they had not received the attack order from Manduhai, so they continued to confront the Datong Army.

But now that the army's food supplies were no longer sustainable, a forward battalion was sent to explore the road, preparing to break through the wall and enter the areas near Datong to burn, kill and loot.

"The people have entered the castle to take refuge!"

"Other reinforcements are already in place!"

"All artillery has been deployed!"

……

The current appearance of the Jiubian soldiers is completely new. Whether it is the military management for so many years or the pressure brought by the frequent victories in the Northeast War, they are resolutely not afraid of this war.

In fact, Datong has never forgotten their hatred against Mongolia. Even when the two countries were in the honeymoon period, they had a premonition that there would eventually be a war.

Although the Mongolian army's invasion of the country was unexpected, they had already made sufficient preparations. With their solid granaries and advanced weapons, they were completely unafraid of the invading Mongolian army.

Just when the war was about to break out, an eagle came from the north.

Although Tuo Huochi already knew that Dayan Khan had died due to injuries, his heart did not waver at all. After all, his allegiance had always been to Mandu Hai.

After seeing Manduhai's letter, he sighed secretly, and then ordered to the army: "The Great Khan has passed away, and now some tribes want to rebel. Let's go back immediately to support the new Khan!"

Manduhai had already made his choice, and instead of following Wu Zetian's approach, he decided to support his son Azhu as the new khan of Beiyuan.

It's just that this matter is still controversial after all. Not to mention whether A'Zu, who is just three months old, can survive to adulthood, some people also want to take the opportunity to seize the throne.

"Return!"

"The Mongolian army has retreated!"

"After checking, there is no one in the Mongolian army camp!"

……

Datong always monitors the movements of the Mongolian army of [-] people. They learned about it as soon as the Mongolian army of [-] people began to retreat, and then they discovered that there was already an empty camp there.

At this time, the dark clouds shrouding the sky dispersed, and rays of golden sunshine fell on the Great Wall that stretched across the grasslands and mountains.

Datong Fucheng, Governor's Mansion.

The person sitting here now is Chen Kun, the governor of Xuanda. From the small Guangdong minister in the past to the current governor of Xuanda, he is already one step away from the six ministers.

It's just that in this era where promotion is based on military merit, although he managed Datong and Xuanfu very well, his situation was far different from that of Liu Xuan, the former governor of Liaodong.

Although Chen Kun was over forty years old, he still had a few more gray hairs. He was not surprised when he saw the military information just sent: "If Dayan Khan was in power, there might be an attack, but now Manduhai is definitely I won’t fight!”

"Thanks to our thorough preparation, they actually retreated!" Datong general Chen Jian actually wanted to start this war, but he seemed a little disappointed.

Chen Kun saw that the former deputy commander who was not afraid of death still maintained his bloody spirit, but he smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Chen, don't you think this is the best result?"

"The Tatars are so ambitious that only by getting rid of them can we avoid future troubles!" Chen Jian did not hide his disgust, but expressed his opinion.

Chen Kun knew that Chen Jian had been a border soldier for generations, and also understood his feud: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although they have defeated the Tatars many times, Datong soldiers and border people have also suffered heavy losses. Even if the war starts this time, there will be no sacrifices." Major General, this is actually our stubborn problem. Now our emperor has great talents and broad strategies. Even if he has not started the war, he has already played with Mongolia in the applause. Isn't it more subtle? "

"Mr. Governor, is this all your Majesty's plan now?" Chen Shu was actually a smart man, and he immediately understood.

Chen Kun looked at the sunlight that had shone on the threshold and looked towards the Forbidden City: "If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could there be such a good situation in the north? I know that you really want to kill the Tatars to satisfy your hatred, but we also have to serve the world. People think about it, now that our Ming Dynasty has Haixi Sanwei and Jianzhou, it is impossible to conquer Mongolia in the short term! Even if we want to get rid of the Tatars, it should not be now, we cannot be people who neglect public affairs for private purposes!"

"The lesson learned by the Governor is that in a humble position, one must put the overall situation first and obey His Majesty's will! In your opinion, will His Majesty go to the north like Da Zong did?" Chen Jian thought about the getting better and better situation now. He asked seriously.

Chen Kun is no longer the little man who smiles like Maitreya and fawns over others, but a far-sighted Governor-General of Xuanda: "Your Majesty has great talents and great plans, but don't you know that the ambition of the Tatars is the most serious concern of the Ming Dynasty! As long as your Majesty does not After being assassinated by traitors, our Ming Dynasty will not only create a prosperous era, but it will also be just around the corner to conquer the outside world."

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for clearing up the confusion!" Although Chen Jian hated the consort Wang Zeng, he still held his hands in excitement.

Chen Kun saw Chen Jian's excitement, but at this moment he sighed in frustration: "That position seems to belong to that guy!"

Chen Jian was slightly stunned, but he didn't understand what he meant.

It's just that he knows very well that although the military ability of Governor Xuanda is average, he is a wise man. I'm afraid these words are not without purpose. (End of chapter)
