Super Smuggling System

"So, I have to go back from time to time, and ask the Empress Dowager for permission."

"That would be better than conquering your husband's country and bringing it into the territory of Ming Dynasty, then wouldn't your husband have to go back?" Zhang Yan suggested foolishly.

Hearing Zhang Yan's proposal, Li Mu smiled, didn't say anything, but thought, not to mention whether it can be realized, but launching a plane war is very difficult.

In addition, Daming can't beat China in its own plane at all.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. The old country of the minister is not something that the Ming Dynasty can resist. Otherwise, what will the minister use to support the Ming Dynasty, which is about to collapse?"

Zhang Yan patted her head, and suddenly realized: "What the husband said is true, the concubine only thought of this, but will the husband's hometown know?"

The words came to his lips, he wanted to say but dared not say it, he looked up at Li Mu with a hesitant expression.

Li Mu understood what the beauty in his arms wanted to say, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, with the minister here, the old country will not attack Daming."

In any case, with the development of the original plane, without the help of the variable Li Mu, if the original plane wants to launch a plane war, there will be no development of thousands or tens of thousands of years, which is simply a dream.

Reassured, Zhang Yan let go of the trace of worry in her heart, put her head on Li Mu's shoulder again, and said softly: "With my husband here, everything will be over in this Ming Dynasty."

"Why are you so emotional today?" Li Mu looked down at Zhang Yan, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit too sensational, which made the air heavy.

Zhang Yan said without hesitation: "It's because my husband is leaving, and I feel a little bit reluctant."

"It's not that I won't come back. Besides, I won't leave until after the Chinese New Year. It's still early. I still have a long time to spend with you, Yan'er."

Li Mu couldn't stand this kind of sentimental sentiment, so he changed the subject and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell Yan'er, why don't we talk about it around the stove in this pavilion while it's quiet now."

"Husband, what do you want to say?" Zhang Yan raised her head when she heard that Li Mu had something to say, and her tone didn't sound like something in the boudoir.

As soon as he picked up Zhang Yan, Li Mu moved closer to the copper stove, and asked the maid to change him into a grand chair, so that he would have a support and would not feel his back empty.

Sitting on the grand master's chair, letting Zhang Yan enjoy the heat of the stove, Li Mu looked at his pink cheeks and said, "It's not a big deal. Yesterday I arranged the wedding for Guan Ning's iron cavalry. After the next year, I plan to spend the [-] Guan Ning's iron cavalry stayed in the capital and served as the capital's city defense force, guarding the outer city of the capital."

"After all, the [-] Guanning iron cavalry can be regarded as trained by the minister. They are used as a city defense force in the capital. With Guan Ning's Iron Cavalry, together with Eagle Guards and Wolf Cavalry Guards, it will ensure that no one in this world can break through the Daming Palace."

Li Mu spared no effort in protecting his woman.

"Okay, the concubine is completely at the mercy of my husband. When the new year is over and the court reopens, the concubine will ask the cabinet, six ministries, to discuss and set up an acropolis outside the capital for the [-] Guanning cavalry. In this way, there is an acropolis, and the newlyweds of Guan Ning's cavalry can also have a place to live, instead of living in the barracks often."

Zhang Yan agreed to keep the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the capital as a defensive force, and proposed to build a new acropolis for this reason.

Li Mu's eyes lit up when he built a new Acropolis. He didn't expect that the beauty in his arms would become stronger and stronger, and he could even think of such a good idea.

You know, at the beginning, Li Mu only planned to keep the [-] Guanning iron cavalry in the capital, and never thought about other things down below. Now that there is the Acropolis that Zhang Yan said, everything will be solved easily.

Overjoyed, Li Mu lowered his head and kissed the beauty in his arms, and praised: "Yan'er is getting better at handling government affairs."

"No way." After being praised by Li Mu, Zhang Yan said embarrassingly: "The concubine also often listens to the cabinet, the six court performances of the nine ministers, and learned it by ear. If I change to a husband to manage the government, I will definitely be stronger than my concubine. .”

Li Mu shook his head, did not answer, then talked about the Horqin tribe, and said, "Yan'er, there is one more thing about Zhezhe and their tribe, the Horqin tribe."

"Husband, do you want to talk about the fact that the Horqin tribe has become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Yan interjected.

Li Mu was taken aback, thinking of Zhe Zhe and the other three, he laughed and asked, "Did Zhe Zhe and the other three tell Yan'er?"

"Hee hee, that's not true, I guessed it."

Seeing Li Mu's puzzled eyes, Zhang Yan went on to say: "My husband thinks, if it wasn't for the fact that the Horqin tribe was about to become a vassal of Daming, my husband would not have brought Zhezhe back to the palace. Although my husband likes women very much, he would not So lost for three Mongolian beauties."

"If my husband had wiped out the Horqin Tribe when he was in Liaodong, he wouldn't have placed such three beauties by his side who had a vendetta for extermination. Thinking about it this way, it only makes sense that the Horqin Tribe wants to seek refuge with Daming. Zhe Zhe and the others Why did you stay safe and sound in the Daming Palace?"

Li Mu nodded. Although Zhang Yan's analysis was not very accurate, it was similar. The only thing that was wrong was that he was not afraid to keep Zhe Zhe and the three beauties who had the hatred of extermination by his side.

"That's right, Yan'er's analysis is quite correct. The Horqin Department is indeed going to become a vassal of Daming, and the covenant has been initially drawn up. One copy of the covenant is placed in the Horqin Department, and the other is brought back by Zhe Zhe. Wait a while Go back and let Zhezhe take out the covenant and give it to Yan'er.

After a pause, Li Mu looked up at the red plum blossoms.

"I want to wait until the spring of the next year, and the head of the Horqin tribe will bring a mission to Daming to express their surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and pay tribute to Yan'er."

Zhang Yan raised her head and asked, "Husband, do you want that concubine to take care of the mission of the Horqin Ministry for Zhe Zhe's sake?"

After all, Zhezhe and she are sisters, and they always have to take care of them.

"No need." Li Mu rejected Zhang Yan's good intentions, and said, "Da Ming will rely on these vassal states to support the people of Daming in the next ten years, but Yan'er doesn't have to worry about these things, I will leave it to Wei Zhongxian Let's do it, Yan'er don't want to interfere, so as not to dirty her hands."

He does not intend to let Zhang Yan intervene in the plan to support Daming around the world, but to Wei Zhongxian, who uses his ability to make money and greedy for money to help Daming collect food, taxes, money and silver from all vassal states, and collect all supplies .

In order to deal with the natural disasters in the next ten years of Ming Dynasty.

"For the Horqin Department, Da Ming can definitely help it grow stronger, and then make the Horqin Department a supply place for Da Ming's cattle, sheep, and war horses."

This is Li Mu's initial thoughts on the Horqin Department.

"The other thing is that after the meeting with the Horqin Tribe, Yan'er will make a decree to entrust the Horqin Tribe, just like Daming did to other vassal states, and canonize a Horqin King in the Horqin Tribe."

"I have written it down." Zhang Yan nodded, expressing her understanding

After talking about the arrangements for Guan Ning's cavalry and the Horqin Department in the pavilion, and admiring the scenery of the back garden of the Winter Palace for a while, Li Mu and Zhang Yan stood up and went back to Renshou Palace for dinner together.

By the way, Zhezhe also asked Zhezhe to take out the gold-embedded covenant and hand it over to Zhang Yan.

As for the arrangement of the wolf cavalry guards, Li Mu has other plans, and now they are temporarily placed in the capital as guards
