Domineering Daming

Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Concubine Liu and the others heaved a sigh of relief and swarmed behind Zhu Xu.

When Zhu Xu entered the room, the child was still cleaning. The female imperial physician and midwife saluted Zhu Xu and quietly gave him space to meet Hai Lanzhu.

Zhu Xu glanced at the child, with a complicated state of mind, and secretly exhaled. He came to Hai Lanzhu, saw her pale face, sweat all over her face, and her whole hair was soaked. He gently touched her forehead and said in a low voice. Comforting: "Thank you for your hard work, it's all right, take a good rest."

Hai Lanzhu was very tired, it seemed that it was very hard to blink, looked at Zhu Xu, forced a smile, and said: "I don't work hard, this is what I should do."

Zhu Xu straightened the strands of hair sticking to her face, held her hand, and said warmly, "Go to sleep, I'll be with you, don't worry about the child, I'll watch in person."

Hai Lanzhu's pretty face was full of tenderness, her eyes were watery, she pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu nodded and pulled the quilt for her.In any case, this is his woman who gave birth to his son, and Zhu Xu is not stingy or lazy if she can give and do what she can.

Hai Lanzhu was extremely exhausted, she held Zhu Xu's hand, closed her eyes gently, and her breathing gradually became even.

There are many "rules" when a child is born, and the midwife is there with ghosts and ghosts, and the female imperial doctor is even more careful.Although the Tai Hospital is doing its best to study and try its best to keep the newborn baby, but this kind of thing still has more elements of doing its best and obeying the destiny.

The old concubine and the others looked at the newly born second prince, feeling as if a boulder had landed in their hearts, their faces became happy, they whispered for a while, and seeing Zhu Xu guarding Hailanzhu, they quietly retreated go out.

For a while, Zhu Xu felt that Hai Lanzhu had fallen asleep, so he carefully pulled out his hand, covered Hai Lanzhu with a quilt, ordered the good female imperial physician, and the maid to take care of him, and looked at the sleeping child for a while. Just left the room.

Empress Dowager Zhang, the old concubine and others were very happy, and after talking to Zhu Xu, they left one after another. Only Zhu Xu and a bada were left in the pavilion.

Ba Dali stood in front of Zhu Xu, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your son, I have a small gift, and please appreciate it."

Zhu Xu is in a good mood now, took a look at it, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Badali with some surprise.

Thirty top quality horses, five hundred good horses, plus various precious things, this gift list should be at least 3000 taels of silver.For the current Horqin, this is really a big deal.

"I accepted it!" Zhu Xu looked at Badali and said, "It's rare that you still miss me. In this way, I'm considering reopening the exchange market. The location is being discussed. Huimeng Chamber of Commerce will give Horqin a director seat."

Trading with the Ming Dynasty is what all the northern nomads long for. The grasslands and deserts are too scarce. Without the trading with the Ming Dynasty, they would have a hard time in terms of basic necessities of life.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the 20 people of Horqin, thank you for your kindness!" Badali was overjoyed and saluted Zhu Xu again.

Horqin is really too weak and needs too many things. Although Daming shelters Horqin, he has always been very cautious in helping Horqin.In addition, the Huimeng Chamber of Commerce has always been in Tumubao, directly facing Chahar, and Horqin has received very little benefit, and urgently needs a blood transfusion from Ming Dynasty.

If it's Gansu Town or Zhangjiakou, it's even better!

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, Horqin is my vassal state of Ming Dynasty, I won't just sit idly by. By the way, why are you rushing into the palace?"

Hearing the words, Badali immediately calmed down his excitement, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this time I'm here, it's about Chahar."

Zhu Xu remained expressionless, and said, "Continue."

Badalley looked at Zhu Xu, and said in a careful and careful tone, "Your Majesty, I heard that Gansu Town has been a bit uneasy recently?"

Zhu Xu had already guessed what Badali meant, and smiled inwardly. Following his words, he said calmly, "Well, Gansu and other towns have not been peaceful. Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to build them, and no bandits can enter the pass."

Seeing that Zhu Xu said lightly, Badali felt his heart tighten, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I have noticed that the envoys from Junggar and Chahar have relatively close contacts."

Jin Yiwei did a very good job of infiltrating Chahar. Zhu Xu also knew about it, and said with an unchanged face: "Lin Dan Khan is a Mongolian Khan, a descendant of the Golden Family. Although Junggar is a different branch, it is also a Mongolian Khan after all. China, some interactions are not surprising."

These Khanates in Mongolia have long been torn apart and hated each other. As for the so-called Golden Family, the Mongolian Great Khan, they are only in name, and no one has paid attention to them for a long time.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was still not moved at all, Badali thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Huang Taiji has now entered Junggar and married the second daughter of Harahula Khan, and conquered several tribes for Junggar. Obtained a huge pasture..."

Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly sank, he looked up at Badalley, and said coldly: "Is this true?"

Badali sensed Zhu Xu's "unkindness", lowered his head and said, "There are some people who fled back from Moxi. I got it like this from their mouths, but I can't confirm it."

Zhu Xu looked at Badali and tapped his fingers on the table slowly.

The current Mongolia is still divided into three major regions. The first one is Monan Mongolia. Horqin and Chahar are the strongest. They are basically close to the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, stretching tens of thousands of miles from south to north.With years of wars and changes, this part of the strength withered and spread widely.

The second is Mobei Mongolia to the north of the center of the desert. This part is called Khalkha. There are various khanates. The Tuxietu tribe is the strongest and is the leader of all tribes. However, it does not border the Ming Dynasty and has little contact. safe".

The third one is Moxi Mongolia, which has the widest distribution area and the strongest strength. They were formed after the split of the Oala part. Junggar, Yarkand, Heshuot, Kazakh and other khanates are all concentrated here, with strong strength. Among them, Junggar is the most aggressive. In recent years, it has annexed many small tribes and factions, and has had trouble with Khalkado.At the same time, Junggar and the leader of the alliance, Heshuo Te, are still fighting among themselves, competing for hegemony in this area.

Zhu Xu's heart raced, and he tapped his fingers extremely fast.

Junggar will be a confidant in the future, and Huang Taiji, who has great ambitions, is like a tiger with wings, and cannot be underestimated!

"Monan must be resolved!"

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, he looked at Badali and said, "If I want to eradicate Chahar, what do you think we should do?"

Badali was overjoyed, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chahar is a Mongolian Khan, and I can't bear to wait. If the Great Ming Army joins forces with Horqin and other tribes to attack from east to west, Chahar will definitely be destroyed!"

Chapter 964

Zhu Xu looked at Badali, sitting still, with sharp eyes.

Sending out troops from Ming Dynasty is no easy task!

Badali clearly knew that his proposal was an extremely important decision for Ming Dynasty. Since Emperor Yongle, the Ming Dynasty had never conquered Remnant Yuan.Especially Yingzong's disastrous defeat marked the transition between Ming and Mongolia's offense and defense. They were completely on the defensive and could only be beaten.

Although it is said that since His Majesty Jingzheng ascended the throne, he has resorted to militarism, invested energy, money and food, and cleaned up the guard system, making the Ming army reborn, but it is still a very challenging thing to really conquer the desert.Not only the matter itself, Da Ming must make up his mind to send troops, and this hurdle is equally difficult.

Badalley looked up at Zhu Xu, and said nervously and cautiously: "Your Majesty, Chahar can no longer be indulged, otherwise sooner or later it will be a serious problem for Daming. Please make up your mind to kill it as soon as possible!"

Zhu Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Badali's words.

Regarding Chahar, he had planned for a long time, but listening to Badali's words, perhaps Chahar's situation was more serious than he expected, otherwise Badali would not be so eager to ask Daming to send troops.

Although the cabinet and the six ministries will not agree, and even Sun Chengzong, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Lijiao, Man Gui and others will have scruples, but this matter must be done, and we must take action against Chahar this year!If it is allowed to develop, it will be more difficult to clean up in the future.

Once this battle starts, Da Ming must win a complete victory, wipe out Chahar completely, and leave no legacy behind!

If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous for Daming. Not only the Great Wall will be threatened, Liaodong will also fall into chaos, and the consequences will be disastrous.

In this battle, we must be cautious and bold, and decide in one battle!

Zhu Xu wandered in his mind for a while, raised his eyes to Badali, and said, "How are you preparing?"

Badali was startled, and immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, before I entered Beijing, I had already signed an alliance with the seven Khanates, agreeing to jointly resist and attack Chahar!"

"How many troops are there?" Zhu Xu looked straight at Badali and asked.

"There are a total of 6000 people, all elite soldiers." Badali bowed again, his voice more or less confident.

Because of the climate, the entire Asian region is getting weaker and weaker. Decades and hundreds of years ago, the kind of legion battles with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn were basically invisible.

Even Zhu Xu can't launch a war with hundreds of thousands of troops at will, and he doesn't have such conditions in terms of military strength, mentality, and money.

The various tribes in Mongolia are also very weak. They basically rely on plundering each other if they want to survive. Those close to the Ming Dynasty used to have gifts and mutual markets in the past. Now, except for Horqin, others can only rely on themselves.

In addition, Horqin split once, so 6000 people are already very many for them.
