Domineering Daming

Shen Yongmao said: "Yes, there is also Horqin's emissary, Hai Lanzhu. Huang Taiji's four sons accompanied him. Huang Taiji's eldest son was killed in Liaodong, and the rest died young. These four sons are the eldest sons."

Zhu Xu laughed when he heard this, and said: "They are afraid of being killed by me. They dare not even send an important person, but they actually send a woman..."

Shen Yongmao was not as optimistic as the emperor in his heart, and he tried to persuade those who would not be seen in such a matter, which would harm their dignity, in a disguised form: "Your Majesty, do you want Tumubao to refuse them to enter the customs and ask them to send envoys again to ensure that they can go back?" that is."

Zhu Xu couldn't understand the meaning of Shen Yongmao's words, so he smiled again, tapping his fingers on the table, thinking slowly in his heart.

Huang Taiji is a very tolerant person. In the era of the four major Baylors, he was silent and ranked at the bottom, harmless to humans and animals, but he was the one who finally succeeded Nurhachi to the Khan throne, and eliminated the other three major Baylors. The cutting of power, the confinement of confinement, and the enthronement of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty!

This is a very scary person, Zhu Xu has to deal with it carefully!

The Ming Dynasty in Liaodong has stood firm. As long as Shenyang is not lost, Jiannu will have no chance to recover!

So what was Huang Taiji's plan?Even Bumbutai and Hailanzhu were sent here.

Seeing Zhu Xu thinking, Shen Yongmao pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there has been a severe drought on the grassland recently, and many places with rich water and grass have dried up. This time, I am here to seek peace."

"Begging for peace?"

Zhu Xu was stunned, shook his head and said: "Huang Taiji won't sue for peace so easily after suffering such a big loss, inform Tumubao to let them enter the customs, I also want to see what Huang Taiji is fighting abacus."

There is no objection to this, Shen Yongmao responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the north has changed recently. Many tribes have allied with Horqin, and even Lin Danhan's Chahar has escaped."

Zhu Xu opened his eyes, feeling very helpless.

Lin Danhan is obviously a dou who cannot be supported. Originally, Chahar had such a strong foundation, but he failed within a few years in his hands. Now even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, he can't even control his own tribe. He is counting on him to check and balance Horqin and Huang Taiji are simply dreaming!

Zhu Xu habitually tapped his fingers on the table and asked at the same time, "What countermeasures does the Ministry of War have?"

Shen Yongmao looked up at Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice with a firm expression: "Your Majesty, I believe that we should vigorously support the various tribes of Mongolia, not limited to Chahar, and let them conquer each other, while the Tiger and Wolf Guards will 'eliminate the strong and help the weak' Suppress the various tribes to maintain the balance!"

Zhu Xu was silent, tapping faster with his fingers.

The current military strength of the Ming Dynasty is more than 100 million. To maintain such a large army, the expenses are like running water. In addition, blood transfusions to the southwest must be continued.But for Zhu Xu, it's still too little, far from enough to safely get through the "little glacier" that has more than ten years left.

So he always saves when he can, and never spends a cent more.

If it is necessary to fully support the tribes of Mongolia, it will not cost 01:30 points. The most important thing is that Zhu Xu has no confidence in how effective this support will be.If the support resources fall into the hands of Horqin and Huang Taiji, then he will become a big joke.

But Mongols can't ignore it, if Huang Taiji and Horqin are allowed to annex various tribes, it will definitely be a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty, and this big problem will surpass the history of Hou Jin!

"Is there any other way?" Zhu Xu asked.

Shen Yongmao knew the emperor's disapproval as soon as he heard it, his expression was calm for a while, and he said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has done many deduction, and Horqin and Huang Taiji are too powerful, even if Chahar is as strong as before, they will not belong to them." Opponents, now that Jiannu and Horqin have just united, there is still time to contain them, I think this is the best way at the moment!"

Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Well, I know, I'll think about it later. You let Bumubutai enter the pass first, and I'll talk about it after I see them."

Shen Yongmao sighed in his heart, the emperor wanted to consider it, obviously he disagreed, so he could only say: "Yes. Also, regarding the emperor going south, who will be brought with him, the dispatch of troops and horses, whether the officials from various places will welcome him, etc., the emperor has some questions. Any other ideas?"

Zhu Xu sat up straight, his eyes pondered, and after a while he said: "The number of people has not yet been determined, but the six ministers will not be moved, and the cabinet will not be moved. The rest is optional. I will look at it when the time comes. Soldiers and horses, I will bring two thousand imperial troops. , one thousand from the Shenji battalion, and I won’t bring the rest. No receptions are allowed in various places, and news cannot be leaked, so I want to look everywhere.”

"Follow the order." Shen Yongmao said.

Zhu Xu still has the northern grassland in his heart. This is a heart disease of his. If it cannot be cut off early, as the disaster worsens, Daming will become weaker and weaker, and the grassland will become more and more crazy. It will be very unfavorable to Daming!

"I still have to think of a way..." Zhu Xu's heart was heavy.

At the same time, Bumbutai and his party were less than a mile away from the fortress, watching from a distance.

Bumbutai and her elder sister Hai Lanzhu sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and looked to the south, both of them had complicated expressions.

Huang Taiji chose Bumbutai after careful consideration, while Hai Lanzhu was secretly chosen by his brother. A beautiful widow stayed in the clan and caused too much trouble.

Beside them, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy with a cautious expression and fear in his eyes.

In addition, there were ten guards, two Jiannu and eight Horqin, standing on both sides of the carriage, looking at the Tumu Castle with different expressions.

The smoke and dust billowed there, the shouts of killing were like boiling, the flags fluttered and the cavalry shuttled faintly.

Hai Lanzhu's complexion is fair, her eyes are like waves, she doesn't look like a Mongolian, but she looks like a weak woman from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, looking at the south with a worried expression on her face.Recently, all she had heard was how the Ming people murdered people in such a ruthless and unreasonable manner, she was so panicked that she couldn't help holding the hand of her sister beside her, and said, "Sister, are we really going to the Nanren's tent? "

Hai Lanzhu is 28 this year, and Bumbutai is 25. Both are charming young women, each with its own merits.

Bumbutai was calm, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister, I'm here, it's fine."

Only then did Hai Lanzhu feel a little relieved. Her ex-husband often abused her, which made her very timid. She took Bumbutai's hand and hummed softly.

Although Bumbutai said so, he was very worried in his heart. The Ming Dynasty was furiously raising troops and training hard. In such a huge country, the population and food were not comparable to them. They could really do what the Great Khan said, and they could still Back to Shenyang?

Not long after, a group of cavalry galloped over on horseback to welcome them into the customs.

Hai Lanzhu held Bumbutai's arm tightly, and the closer she got to the Great Wall, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Bumbutai had learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and talked with the cavalry captain in a serious manner, and then they escorted him into the customs.

A seven or eight-year-old boy was riding a horse and following the carriage, shaking uncontrollably all over his body.

He is Huang Taiji's fourth son, Ye Bushu, and there is only one younger brother under him. Hauge is dead, so he can only be the proton. Although he is young, he also knows that this trip to the south will probably never return. So scared to death.

A group of people walked slowly towards the civil castle.

Concubine Xin's head had already been bandaged, and was sent back to Prince Xin's Mansion by Queen Mother Zhang.

When Concubine Xin came to the hall, Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly when he saw it, and he stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

Concubine Zhou fell to her knees and said sadly: "The concubine is stupid and useless, I can't help the prince!"

Zhu Youjian's expression turned pale, he helped her up, and sighed softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my disagreement with the emperor's political views."

Princess Zhou stood up with tears in her eyes. She felt that the end of their Xinwang Palace was coming.

Zhu Youjian is a rigid person, imitating the sages everywhere, at this moment of rare tenderness, he wiped the face of the princess, and said with a smile: "Don't worry so much, we just have different ideas of Zhongxing Daming, we didn't reach the point of killing me Impossible, don't worry."

Concubine Zhou was still very scared, she couldn't help but shed tears, and said suddenly: "By the way, the emperor guessed that someone taught the prince, and asked the prince to send that person away."

Zhu Youjian's face was slightly stiff, and he said immediately: "Well, the master has already left."

Princess Xin felt a little relieved now, she could feel that the harem didn't like her very much this time, and the life of Prince Xin's mansion would be even more difficult in the future.

The six newspapers were still in trial operation, and the newspaper was renamed "Jingzheng Chaobao". The next day, it published an article by Fu Changzong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

It explained the benefits of the separation of taxation rights by the Ministry of Households, the new system of household registration, field acres, etc., and finally changed the situation and mentioned "gentry paying grain".He said that the governors of various places proposed to restore the Taizu ancestral system, but after repeated discussions, the court decided to "return the fire consumption to the public" to reduce the burden on the people of the world.

Although such rumors had long been heard in the capital, it was the first time that the court newspapers spoke convincingly, which naturally sparked a "controversy" in the capital.

"Taxing the gentry is absurd and unprecedented!" A middle-aged man patted the newspaper indignantly.Unwillingness was written all over his face, and his eyes were full of anger.

A young man with a pale face and an obvious overdose, with bloodshot eyes, snorted coldly: "Yes, if a gentry pays for food, how is it different from ordinary people?"
