Ming Empire

Chapter 284 Returning to Nanjing
Ready to return to Nanjing, Cao Yue handed over all military affairs in the north to Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Yue also made it clear to Cao Bianjiao directly why he returned to Nanjing years ago: "Cousin, all the military affairs in the north will be entrusted to you. My younger brother will go back to Nanjing. I have been away from Nanjing for too long, so I have to go back once. Many Business needs to be dealt with. Sun Chuanting sent a secret letter to ask someone to go back to Nanjing. I will not know about some things until I return to Nanjing, and I will write to you when the time comes."

Although Cao Yue didn't speak clearly, Cao Bianjiao immediately understood the meaning of the words and didn't ask any further questions.

However, Cao Yue's decision still surprised him.

Of course, the surprise was not that Cao Yue wanted to return to Nanjing. At this time, Cao Yue was going back to Nanjing. Cao Bianjiao was not surprised. After all, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty today, and members of the royal family and important officials in the court were there. But the center is not here.As a person who has mastered the actual power of Ming Dynasty, it is very necessary to go back before the end of the year and arrange some things.

To Cao Bianjiao's surprise, Cao Yue handed over the military affairs of the entire north to him.

You know, this is the hundreds of thousands of elite Ming Guards. With these troops in hand, they can directly control the situation in the world.Cao Yue's decision was really bold, and he really trusted him. In an instant, Cao Bianjiao had mixed feelings in his heart.

He is much younger than Cao Yue in terms of qualifications, and he is a little unconvinced that he has mastered the military power of the Ming Dynasty. He also thought about whether he would be superior to Cao Yue if he had so many soldiers in his hands.Cao Bianjiao even thought about whether one day he would have a dispute with Cao Yue because of the power struggle.But he never expected that Cao Yue would trust him so much and show such generosity that he would hand over most of the troops of the Ming Guards to him.You must know that most of the Ming Guards are currently stationed in the north, and there are only a few guards in the Nanjing area.

If he wanted to change his mind and lead these well-prepared and outstanding guards to rebel, he might be able to win the world.

However, this idea only popped up in Cao Bianjiao's mind, and then it was extinguished. It is impossible for him to rebel.

Not to mention that he didn't have this idea, even if he had this idea, could he completely command these troops and take these hundreds of thousands of Ming guards as his own?Most of the main generals in the guards are Cao Yue's cronies, who are appointed by Cao Yue himself. If he acts according to Cao Yue's wishes, then these people will obey him.But if he wants to rebel, at least most of the guard masters will not obey him.

Moreover, most of the firearms needed by the Ming Guards today are transported from Nanjing to the north. If the north transport is interrupted, the backup will be lost, and it will not be long before the army's firearms will be unsustainable.

This is Cao Yue's trust in him and a test of him. This is the conclusion that Cao Bianjiao came to after serious thinking.It's just that he didn't point it out, and didn't refuse. He simply accepted Cao Yue's entrustment, saying that he would definitely lead the northern army well, and if there were foreign enemies to invade, he would definitely fight head-on.If there is no war, strengthen the training of the army.

Cao Yue was quite satisfied with Cao Bianjiao's performance, and he left Beijing with confidence.

When leaving Beijing, Hong Niangzi followed him south with a soldier of the Guards Division as Cao Yue's bodyguard.Accompanied by Cao Yue, there were Bumbutai, Zhezhe, Namuzhong and other women who were more respected among the members of the Manchu royal family, as well as Fulin, the former emperor of the Manchu Dynasty.These people went to Nanjing with Cao Yue, and they were ready to wait for the court to deal with them.

During this time in Beijing, Cao Yue and Hong Niangzi did not get along for a long time. Most of the time, Hong Niangzi was leading the army to fight or maintaining order. When Cao Yue was about to leave Beijing, she was asked to come back and go south with him. .The red lady was naturally very happy with Cao Yue's arrangement, and accepted the arrangement without any doubts.

She was thinking, this time going south, Cao Yue is going to let her make a public appearance in Nanjing, and let her make an official appearance in the court, and maybe take her home as the daughter-in-law of the Cao family to meet Princess Kunxing , and the elders of the Cao family.Cao Yue had already promised her to become the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, so the red lady naturally had such expectations.

She is not young, and she plans to give birth to Cao Yue as soon as possible.Because she was afraid of getting into trouble, she paid great attention to contraception during the time she was with Cao Yue, but she also prepared to get pregnant with Cao Yue's flesh and blood in the following time.

During Cao Yue's stay in Beijing, he let Bumbutai sleep most of the night.

Now Bumbutai's age is the most touching time in a woman's life. She is mature, stable, and has a deep understanding of the affairs of men and women. She also has the boldness of northern women, and she let go of her mind and doesn't think about Manchu Instead, he intends to follow Cao Yue and gain Cao Yue's glory.So every night, Cao Yue was served by the emperor.This time he went to Nanjing with Cao Yue, and Bumbutai also had expectations.

Of course, she didn't expect a lot, but hoped to take it step by step.It would be best to be forgiven and rewarded by the Ming court first, to recognize her contributions to the war to regain Beijing and her role in the future, and because of these, to be rewarded by the Ming court and gain a certain status.For my son Fulin, I will try to find a better way to deal with it, and there will be a better place to go.

If these ideas come true, then think about getting a reward from Cao Yue, getting a name, and becoming a real Cao family woman.

Bumbutai believes that as long as Cao Yue gives her a chance, she will take it well. She also thinks that she can handle Princess Kunxing and other women of Cao Yue. long-term plans.

Among Cao Yue's women, Bumbutai now knows Princess Kunxing, Lady Hong, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan.But Bumbutai only thought that her opponents were Aimee Zhu and Hong Niangzi, and she didn't take the other women who came out of the brothel courtyard seriously.

Bumbutai didn't want Cao Yue to bring Zhezhe, Na Muzhong and other women who used to be Huang Taiji into the mansion. She also expressed this meaning euphemistically. Of course, the reason she said was that she was afraid that Cao Yue would be tolerated by the world.Bumbutai knew that if Zhezhe and Namuzhong were not accepted by Cao Yue, then they would not compete with him for favor, and she would not have too many scruples when she started to do things in the future.

However, Cao Yue did not make a clear statement to Bumbutai on this point, and when he was in Beijing, he also favored Zhezhe and Namuzhong.Although Zhezhe saw that she was a little bigger, her charm was still the same, and her appearance and body were well maintained. In addition, she was a woman of Huang Taiji, and when she conquered and sprinted on her body, she had a special sense of accomplishment.The same is true for Na Muzhong, who has a good figure and appearance, and is the most attractive age for women. Cao Yue, who is full of energy, also regards her as the object of his desire to vent his desires.

Power and beauty are the two major hobbies of men. Cao Yue does not want to give up power, nor does he want to give up beauties.It's just that he has already made up his mind on how to deal with them and what status and status to give them, and he doesn't need Bumbutai's reminder at all.

Twenty days after leaving Beijing, Cao Yue led the accompanying navy fleet to Yanziji Stone, Nanjing.And at this time, it's only ten days before Chinese New Year!
