Chapter 102 The Limit of Ming Dynasty

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty!!" However, since Zhu Houzhao is like this, Emperor Maode can still bargain. "

"As for the betrothal gift..." Zhu Houzhao looked at the little eunuch aside and said, "Bring it up!"

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not need to prepare these things by himself. The people from the Ministry of Rites naturally

He will prepare it, but he has already given Shao Min a betrothal gift. Emperor Maode can't just say nothing, right?

Moreover, this is a political show in itself. After all, among many countries, Song Dynasty is the richest country.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was not even comparable to that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was even said to be that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Why did Kublai Khan focus on fighting the two Song Dynasties? Isn't it because the two Song Dynasties had money and food?

Then the little eunuch came to Maode Diji with a box and opened the wooden box.

At first, Emperor Maode thought someone had offended Zhu Houzhao, and then Zhu Houzhao wanted to show her something bloody. After all, wasn’t the dowry gift Zhu Houzhao gave to Princess Shaomin just a human corpse?

And this box seems to be just right for a head, and Zhu Houzhao's betrothal gift is too scary.

However, Maode Diji was slightly relieved when she saw what was in the box. Fortunately, it was not a human head or anything.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Maode paid more attention to the box, and even the eyes of Cai Jing, Princess Shaomin, and even the civil and military officials also paid attention here.

Some civil servants who didn't know the truth felt a trace of desire in their hearts when they looked at those glass products, the glass cup, and what seemed to be a glass pen!

Such a thing is absolutely priceless!

I didn't expect that His Majesty would come up with something like this as a betrothal gift for Princess Maode.

Even Maode Diji was moved in her heart. Compared with what Shao Min got, what she got here was obviously much better. In other words, Zhu Houzhao still cared about herself.

"I asked some time ago about getting these glazed products as a betrothal gift for the Song Emperor from my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao looked at Cai Jing aside and asked.

"Thank you Emperor Ming!" Cai Jing knew that Zhu Houzhao gave it to Zhao Ji, so he quickly saluted.

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looking at Emperor Maode with a hint of apology.

I don’t know what Maode Diji would think if she knew that these glasses were just made from some sand.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Emperor Maode in the future. After entering his harem, her fate would not be so tragic.

"Emperor Ming, in addition to consolidating the alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, when I come to the Ming Dynasty this time, I also want to seek help from the Ming Dynasty." At this time, Cai Jing glanced at Emperor Maode and then turned to Zhu Houzhao Waist salute.

"Oh? The Emperor of the Song Dynasty needs to ask the Ming Dynasty for help?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't know the dilemma of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Dog Emperor, you clearly know, but you still pretend not to know. Isn't this interesting?

Cai Jing scolded Zhu Houzhao countless times in his heart, but he still said: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor, this time the Liao and Jin countries invaded our Song Dynasty, and at the same time Fangla rebels rebelled, please ask the Ming Emperor to send troops for the sake of our allies. Help me Da Song."

"It's just the Liao and Jin Dynasties and some rebels, but it's hard to reach the Northern Song Dynasty?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Cai Jing with a face full of surprise: "My Ming Dynasty just encountered the Ning King's rebellion and the Qing troops moving south some time ago.

Aren’t these rebellions something that can be wiped out with a wave of your hand? "

Zhu Houzhao's words made Cai Jing couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Can Shen Te Miao be wiped out with a wave of his hand?

However, if you think about it carefully, how similar is the situation encountered by the Ming Dynasty to that of the Northern Song Dynasty?

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has solved its internal problems, but they did not in the Northern Song Dynasty.

<divclass="contentadv">At this point, even Shao Min didn’t know how to complain about Zhu Houzhao.

Shao Min was still prepared for Li Chimei's death, but he just couldn't accept it.

More than a month ago, he could no longer contact Li Chimei, and the same was true for Dayuan, which gave Shao Min a bad feeling.

It was difficult for them to accept this matter, but they had to accept it, and at this time, Li Chimei's body was sent back.

Shao Min actually had the feeling that he was marrying well.

What a fuck, this tone must be spoken, but why did Zhu Houzhao do this? Could it be that he was just warning himself?

When facing Zhu Houzhao, there were many things that Shao Min couldn't understand.

"Your Majesty Emperor Ming, now that the Song Dynasty is in the midst of internal and external troubles, I would like to ask Emperor Yin to consider our alliance and send troops to help our Northern Song Dynasty repel the Liao and Jin coalition forces." Cai Jing said quickly.

"Send troops to help the Northern Song Dynasty?" Zhu Houzhao looked thoughtful, which also made Cai Jing and Maode Diji's hearts sink. The most important thing was to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops. If Zhu Houzhao was unwilling to send troops, Maode Diji's marriage was for What.

“I’m sorry, several wars have just broken out in our Ming Dynasty, although King Ning’s rebellion has been put down.

But the army in Jiangnan did not dare to act rashly, and from time to time someone wanted to cause trouble.

In the north, our Ming Dynasty has 400,000 troops at war with the Qing Dynasty. These troops cannot be easily moved.

Some time ago, I was assassinated by Wa Ci. The 120,000 troops from the northwest were also on their way to conquer Wa Ci.

Now my Ming Dynasty has no soldiers! "Zhu Houzhao said after thinking for a moment.

"Emperor Ming! Can't you let the southwest army move?" Cai Jing asked quickly.

In fact, they also know the military distribution of their opponent Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao's behavior of constantly bringing out hundreds of thousands of troops to attack other countries also made Cai Jing's eyelids jump wildly.

It would be great if the Song Dynasty also had such a strong military force.

The troops in the north and northwest were clearly aiming to destroy the Qing Dynasty and Washi.

It is said that one-third of the Qing Dynasty's scholars have fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Cao Cao's army had just started the battle, they had gained a lot.

But it seems that the Ming Dynasty does not have no army at all!

"There is a large army, but the national power of our Ming Dynasty is a bit overwhelming!" Zhu Houzhao sighed softly, "Our Ming Dynasty is not the Yuan and Qin Dynasties. We can casually bring out hundreds of thousands of troops. Today's military strength is almost Our Ming Dynasty has reached its limit. If those armies in the southwest are dispatched, and if Dayuan invades on a large scale, the southwest of our Ming Dynasty may fall directly into the hands of Dayuan."

Shao Min: "Thank you, I was offended."

However, not to mention, if the Ming Dynasty dispatches the army to guard the southwest at this time, the Yuan Dynasty can really invade the Ming Dynasty.

After all, it was only an army of 500,000 that attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. As long as the Yuan Dynasty was willing, they could bring out another 500,000 troops at any time.
