I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Under such a surrounding situation, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, Lindan Batur, apart from his headquarters in Chahar, can actually only control dozens of tribes in the southern Mongolian area in the Liaohetao area.

Even so, there are still many tribes who are obsessed with him.

Lindan Batur was in charge of most of Monan two years before the apocalypse, namely Haoqite, Naiman, Keshiketeng, Ujumqin, Sunit, Aohan, and Alakjot And the master Xiti eight Etuoke.

Other than that, he was only regarded as the nominal co-lord by the tribes of Monan.

As for the powerful Waikha tribe in Mobei, they have already claimed that the era of the golden family is no longer in this world, and they do not recognize the Mongolian Khan as the co-lord.

In June of the second year of the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty mobilized heavy troops from the nine sides to fight against the five tribes of Houjin, Horqin, and Neikalkha.

Lin Dan Batur received Zhu Youxiao's edict and replied very decisively, but he just didn't send troops. He didn't take this so-called covenant seriously at all.

Lindan Batur knew that this move of reneging on the alliance would definitely provoke Ming Dynasty's retaliation, or Hou Jin's invasion.

He is not someone who just sits and waits to die. Since the beginning of his succession, he has determined to restore the hegemony of his ancestor Genghis Khan. At a time when both Ming and Jin are busy fighting, it is naturally a good opportunity for the expansion of the Chahar tribe.

From June of the second year of Tianqi to December of the third year of Tianqi, Lin Dan Batur used various means to promote the split of the powerful Tumed tribe in Chi'er Mountain.

Since then, Tumed has been devastated and split into East and West Tumed.

After that, Lindan Batur led the Chahar tribe to conquer the east and west, and successively attacked and destroyed more than a dozen Mongolian tribes in the south of the monastery who did not obey the edict, annexed their tribes, and expanded their power to the three guards in the northern part of the country.

Soon, Lindan Batur received the news of Ming's victory.

Where there are winners, there must be losers.

The Fourth Division of Neikalkha and Horqin were defeated by the Seven Towns Ming Army led by Zhu Xieyuan in Fuyuwei, and their vitality was severely damaged. They were unable to organize any large-scale cavalry in the short term.

Lindan Batur did not let go of this godsend opportunity.

In November of the third year of the Apocalypse, when Ming Dynasty was busy with major imperial examination cases, and when Zhu Youxiao was reorganizing the cabinet, Lin Dan Batur sent troops non-stop.

Lindan Batur led 12 Chahar light cavalry to invade Neikalkha on a large scale, and used force to force the four major ministries that had fallen to Houjin to submit to him.

So far, all the Mongolian tribes in Monan belonged to Chahar, and even the five major tribes of Neikha, four of them also surrendered to Lindan Khan.

On this day, Zhu Youxiao stood in Maoqin Hall with his hands behind his back, looking at a map.

It seems that Lin Danbatur, the Lindan Khan who was committed to restoring the hegemony of the Mongolian Empire in history, was still thinking about it simply.

This Lindan Batur was able to make such a big commotion in the west while he was fighting Nurhachi.

The battle of Liaodong lasted for a year, and it took half a year to raise the case to eliminate Donglin. It took half a year to reorganize the cabinet and the military aircraft department. In just one and a half years, Lin Danbatur actually unified the various tribes in Monan...

Not only did he unify the tribes of Monan Mongolia, but he also used his victory in defeating the four coalition forces of Nekhka to force Nekhka to surrender to the Chahar tribe with heavy troops.

Looking at the large area of ​​Chahar area in the west that suddenly appeared on the map, Zhu Youxiao's Bingbu inscription in his hand fell to the ground inadvertently.

On the inscription of the Ministry of War, there is such a sentence:

"Its influence extends from Hetao in the west to Sanwei in the north of Saibei in the east, Neikalkha in the north, and Chi'er Mountain in the south. It threatens Datong and stretches for thousands of miles."

Chapter 454 It's All About You

"The reason why the Chahar tribe rose was because the Ming Dynasty was fighting Jiannu at that time, and the Nine Frontier Army suppressed seven of them, which allowed him to invade Monan and Neikalka."

In the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, is playing a duet.

This example has existed since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, whenever there was a major event, when the emperor could not make up his mind, he would call his confidant humerus minister to meet and discuss with him.

The courtiers after playing the right game will basically be regarded as the emperor's confidants by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, and their prestige will increase a lot, which is also a symbol of honor for the courtiers.

Cui Chengxiu has always regarded himself as an eunuch, although Emperor Tianqi has always had a close relationship with him, but this is the first time he has been summoned to come to Xinuang Pavilion to play a duet.

For him, this is a kind of affirmation and even more a spur.

The downfall of Dong Lin in the imperial court is already an irreversible trend, and the eunuch party will dominate in the future, the emperor must have the skill of weighing, how to choose, it depends on him.

Cui Chengxiu knew in his heart that the emperor asked him to take the dangerous position of Minister of War, not because of his excellent combat strategy knowledge, but because he didn't want Donglin to occupy it.

Now that Dong Lin has fallen, on the one hand, he can only continue to give his best advice, on the other hand, it is time to prepare to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.

As for where the Minister of the Ministry of War will go to serve, or resign and return to his hometown, it depends on Emperor Tianqi's intention.

After listening to him, Zhu Youxiao tightened the brocade fur on his body, and said:

"You're right. Lindan Batuer has always regarded himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia. To me and to Ming Dynasty, he is just obedient and obedient. In fact, in his heart, he only wants to restore his golden family's hegemony."

"Aiqing, what's the solution? Tell me, let me hear..."

After speaking, he looked at Cui Chengxiu.

When Cui Chengxiu received the imperial decree last night, he guessed that it was for this matter. In order to perform well in front of the emperor, he racked his brains and couldn't think of any good solution.

"Your Majesty, the Chahar Tribe is very popular now, and all the Monan Tribes and the Neikalkha Tribes are all subject to it. Lin Danbatur also flocked to the three guards of Saibei more than once."

"Look, the imperial court can order the three guards in northern Saibei to move inward, and give the land of the three guards to Chahar as a pastor..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and reprimanded:

"absurd--!"

"The imperial court fought Jiannu last year in order to keep Fuyuwei, so as to prevent Jiannu from spreading across the area from Guangning to Jinzhou. If they gave up so easily, wouldn't it cool the morale of the army."

"Fortunately, you are still the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you don't have any other ideas in your stomach?"

Zhu Youxiao said, sighed, and glanced at the window eaves, looking at the light snow flying outside the Nuan Pavilion. He didn't know whether it was a sigh of relief at the current situation or disappointment with Cui Chengxiu.

Cui Chengxiu was helpless and had nothing to say.

The monarch and his subjects were silent to each other. After a while, Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked at the frontier situation map hanging in the Xinuang Pavilion.

Since the news of the rise of the Chahar tribe came, this picture was often hung in Xinuang Pavilion by Zhu Youxiao, so that he could watch the situation at any time and curb the Western captives.

Donglu Jianzhou mainly refers to Nurhachi, and Xilu Mongolia refers to Lindan Batur, which is the Ming Dynasty's name for this area outside the Great Wall.

It has to be said that at this time, the domestic famine has just started, and the two people outside the Great Wall are the so-called heroes in history.

Zhu Youxiao tried his best to suppress one, but another one popped up in a blink of an eye.

However, compared with Nurhachi, Lindan Batur's so-called stretching thousands of miles is actually endless internal troubles. Zhu Youxiao has already had some ideas, but they have yet to be verified and confirmed.

After all, such a major national policy cannot be decided on the basis of one's own wishful thinking, and its impact on the future situation is immeasurable.

Zhu Youxiao had to ask more questions before he could make up his mind.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Youxiao broke the deadlock first, turned around and threw out a pond newspaper, saying: "Look, this is the latest pond newspaper sent by Datong Town yesterday."

"You, Minister of the Ministry of War, I'm afraid you don't know yet."

Cui Chengxiu was startled, and quickly picked it up to look at it.

This is incredible, and he didn't expect Lindan Batur to be so bold.

Lindan Batur is a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he issued a letter of credence to attract attention, and asked for the three northern guards of the Fortress with great fanfare. The Uqiyet, Duoyan, and Ongniud tribes who claimed to be the three guards of the Saibei Sanwei were originally under the rule of the Mongolian Khan.

Among them, Zaiser of Uziyet is a descendant of his golden family.

As the Great Khan of Mongolia, he has the right and ability to deal with his own rebellion. He also hopes that Daming will not interfere with Chahar's attack on Uziyet of Fuyuwei.

"Now it's Uziyet, and then it will be Duoyan and Wengniute's turn. I'm afraid the three guards in Saibei can't stop him. Horqin and Dongtumot will be next."

After Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, he put down the pond newspaper in shock.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said:

"It seems that you, Minister of the Ministry of War, still have some insight, much better than Zhang Heming and Wang Huazhen, but I don't think so."

"If Lindan Batur eats up the three guards in Saibei, but he doesn't dare to do too much with Horqin and Dongtu Mote. Although the Jiannu over there suffered heavy losses, their strength is still there after all."

"Lindan Batur has always been afraid of Jianzhou, and there will be tentative moves, but as long as Jianzhou sends troops, he will not provoke Horqin and Dongtumed again."

Having said that, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said:

"It's still too early to say these things. Besides, I won't give up the three guards of Saibei easily. If it doesn't work, let's fight again."

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the dragon chair, sneered and said:

"This Lindan Batuer, clearly issued a letter of state to ask me for the three guards of the fortress and the canonization. In fact, look, he has already gone to Datong to fight the grass valley."

Cui Chengxiu nodded and sighed:

"Lindanbatur looked like he was going to launch troops against the three guards in Saibei, but in fact he sent Xitu Mote to surround Shahukou. The imperial court gathered heavy troops on Datong West Road, but they came in from Baiyangkou on Datong East Road. "

"Baiyangkou's military equipment is weak, and the Chahar tribe has invaded since then, and the commander of the Zhenluwei died three days ago."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"The Killing Tiger's Gate and the Three Guards of Saibei are both bait to lure troops. In fact, Lin Danbatur is going to come in through Baiyangkou. He has long made up his mind to come to Datong and Xuanfu to gain votes."

Cui Chengxiu also came to the edge of the map, looked at the military deployment of the border town, and said:

"I stretch thousands of miles towards the border, and there are not enough troops on the nine sides. It is too difficult to defend every point of such a long border. This is not the fault of the local generals."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that this was not the fault of the local generals, and he had no intention of punishing the crime. The commander of Zhenluwei made Tian Geng fight to death in Baiyangkou, and he also proved with practical actions that he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of war.

But the situation is like this. In history, Lindan Batur has been invaded several times, and no one can stop him. On the current issue, how can he not come back and prevent the next invasion from happening again.

Right at this point, Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, came to the door and said softly:

"Master, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are here."

Chapter 455 is awesome

Hearing this, Cui Chengxiu's heart changed somewhat.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, these two men only came to prominence two years ago, and now they are ordered to train new troops and reorganize their military equipment.

There are so many military ministers in North Korea and Chinese, why did they have to call two local soldiers to play the right role?

This is the first time that this kind of official position came to Xinuang Pavilion to face Shengzuo. Could it be that His Majesty is too partial to them?

Just as he was thinking, two people walked in from outside the hall.

One of them was wearing a cloth armor, and his saber had been handed over to Chief Qian of the Yongwei Battalion who guarded the Chengtian Gate. His demeanor looked like a civil servant, but he didn't have the look that a literati should have.

Cui Chengxiu had seen this person before, it was Sun Chuanting.

The other man was wearing the official uniform of a local military official in front of him. He looked like a decent local official, without any conspicuousness.

These two people, Cui Chengxiu really didn't understand what His Majesty asked them to do.

"Sun Chuanting, Chen Shanhaiguan's military equipment, please see Long live Your Majesty——!"

"Minister Daming Mansion Brigade Lu Xiangsheng, see Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, the two raised their heads slightly and took a peek at Shangyan. This was the first time they had entered the palace for a face-to-face interview, and every look was extraordinarily novel and reverent.

To be honest, when Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng received the correct decree from Xinuang Pavilion, they also wondered if they had heard it wrong, but in fact, this was the real imperial decree.

Right!

This is a symbol that the emperor regards himself as a confidant, and countless people flock to it, but in the four years since the Tianqi Dynasty, few courtiers have received such an honor.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian didn't talk about it, let alone playing it right, he spent more time alone with Emperor Tianqi than anyone else.

"Look at all the pond newspapers sent by the border yesterday."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Cui Chengxiu immediately handed over the Tang newspaper in his hand to Sun Chuanting.

Lu Xiangsheng also took a closer look. The two of them finished reading one after another, and subconsciously glanced at each other with serious expressions on their faces. Then, when they looked in front of them, they found that the emperor was looking at the frontier situation map with his back to them.

All of a sudden, both of them understood what they were going to ask this time.

Before Zhu Youxiao asked, Sun Chuanting said directly:

"Your Majesty, Lindan Batur seems powerful, but in fact he is far less of a threat to our court than Jianshou. The court only needs to do a little trick, and the border siege can be solved!"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and added:

"I feel that what Sun Bingbei said is very true, but we must pay attention to one thing. When dividing the relationship between Chahar and the various ministries, we must not let Chahar fall into a slump."

"The imperial court also needs to use Chahar to contain the eastern captives on the west wing. Once the Chahar tribe loses its containment effect, Mongolia may completely fall to the western captives!"

"At that time, the real disaster is imminent!"

Cui Chengxiu listened to the two people's words, but he felt a sense of enlightenment, and he quickly echoed:

"Your Majesty, I think what the two of them said is reasonable."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Cui Chengxiu, nodded at him, then sat back on the dragon chair, pointed to the map and said:
