The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Li Dongyang was a little puzzled.

Yang Yiqing is as stubborn as Liu Gong and has a lot of complaints against Yan Chengjin. How could he take the initiative to go to the island country in exchange for a chance to return?

Yan Kesong only felt that it was related to his son.

Ying Ning went to the house and that was it.

Cheng Jin might have been impeached because he was afraid of competing for the position of Minister of War. Thinking of this, he actually felt guilty in his heart.

In the court, all the officials speculated on Yang Gong's true intention of going to the island country.

Was Yan Chengjin caught?

"You don't have to worry too much, sir. I went to the island country to guard it. I naturally want to serve the imperial court."

Yang Yiqing heard from Yan Chengjin that the silver mines dug by Li Zhaofan might soon be exhausted, and other mines were in the hands of daimyo, so it was time to use troops.

Although the boy from the Li family knows the art of war, he is far inferior to Wang Shouren, so he has no way to defend the two mines.

Zhu Houzhao touched his smooth chin. Lao Gao suddenly impeached Yang Yiqing, and Yang Yiqing suddenly asked for an order to go to the island country. The two of them walked into the hall together...

Eighty percent of it was Lao Gao's idea.

"Quick beggar, Master Yang has made great achievements in destroying the tiles. Now that he is going to the island country, I will grant Master Yang the title of Pingnan Bo."

Li Dongyang has no objection. It was a great achievement to destroy the Wala royal court and he should be made an uncle.

But why did Yang Yiqing go to the island country?

Yang Yiqing didn't seem to care.

The scene when he met Yan Chengjin in the side hall just now was recorded by historians. If there was a prosperous age, it would be remembered in history.

That's enough.

"Above Oala is the Grand Duchy, and the court still needs to discuss how to control it."

Oara, like Tatar, has a vast territory.

The Han people did not want to live in that kind of place. Even if they were defeated, they would still need to send people to guard it.

Otherwise, the disciples would fall into the hands of the Grand Duchy and the Jurchens.

Yang Yiqing continued: "Previously, I agreed with the Tang and Song Dynasties to divide one-third of the territory of the Tang and Song Dynasties."

Li Dongyang had some understanding of the Tang and Song Dynasty's conquests in the east and west.

The Tang and Song Dynasties gradually grew stronger, which may not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. "I think it should not be allocated to the Tang and Song Dynasties."

"What Li Gong said is true. This dynasty has spices to trade, and it is becoming more and more prosperous. If we gain territory again, I am afraid it will become a threat to the court." Jiang Mian said.

Yang Yiqing raised his head: "I have agreed to send troops to the Tang and Song Dynasties."

"It's accurate." Zhu Houzhao is not a person who is willing to suffer losses, so how can he give it to the Grand Duchy in vain, "Old Gao, why is there no Grand Duchy on the map?"

Doesn't this guy want to be beaten down?

Yan Chengjin said: "The new emperor, we should discuss the Wala issue first. I think the land should be redistributed, and each herdsman family should be granted a hundred acres of pasture, establish laws, and order the guards to guard the border."

In the previous life, the pastures were divided.

Abolish tribal rule, and no one can think of raising a large number of private slaves, which will make it difficult to fight in the future.

Moreover, distributing cattle and sheep to herdsmen will also allow them to settle down on the grassland and prevent them from migrating around.

"This is not as good as being the fiefdom of the vassal king." Xie Qian said.

During the reign of Emperor Gao, King Ning was granted a title on the Jiubian Grassland. This land could also be used as a reward.

However, Yan Chengjin shook his head and said: "I think it is impossible. Although the imperial court can use this place as a fiefdom, it can be managed by the vassal king, which means that it can raise private slaves and it is difficult to Chineseize the captives."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully and ordered Gu Dayong to go to the clerk's room to draft the decree.

…

Li Mansion,

Li Dongyang held a banquet to bid farewell to Yang Yiqing, and invited Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and other cabinet members to have a drink with him.

Only Yan Chengjin was not invited.

"Ying Ning, is it difficult to explain something to the court? If my son-in-law is framed, I will only be fair."

Li Dongyang suspected that Yang Yiqing was hiding something from him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mian and others looked deeply at Yang Yiqing.

It can be seen that Yang Yiqing is a little different from before. He actually took Yan Chengjin's bullet without making a sound.

"Brother Bin is too worried. I am guilty of not being in the same league as Yan Chengjin."

Yang Yiqing picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and said with a very cheerful smile: "Foolish brother, it's not like you are going to die, why are you brothers looking so sad?"

Oops, is this not happiness out of extreme sorrow?

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang felt ashamed of his former classmates, but Yan Chengjin was his son-in-law, could he still make Ying Ning take revenge?

After the banquet dispersed, when Yang Yiqing returned to the mansion, the servants had already packed up the belongings.

A large blue sedan stopped at a deserted corner.

Yang Yiqing stepped forward and heard Yan Chengjin's voice coming from the sedan: "Before the prosperous times come, please Master Yang stay in the island country, maybe three years, maybe ten years..."

Li Dongyang and Jiang Mian were very sensitive, and they were always a little uneasy leaving Yang Yiqing in the capital.

It happened that it was also necessary to liberate the entire island country, dismantle the shogunate rule, and transfer Li Zhaofan back to the capital.

"I certainly know."

"Master Yang is lucky." Zhu Houzhao's voice suddenly came from the sedan.

Yang Yiqing raised his head slightly: "..."

A group of carriages and horses went to Liangxiang Pier and took a large ship to the island country. Yan Chengjin sat in a sedan and watched Yang Yiqing go away.

"Lao Gao, when will you tell Master Yang?"

"It's the Supreme Emperor. I didn't say a word about it."

"Where is my father?"

However, Yan Chengjin did not answer. It seems that in order to prevent Zhu Houzhao from looking for him and exposing him to the public, the Supreme Emperor ordered the Jinyi guards not to lead the way or search, and it was difficult to find Zhu Houzhao.

…

Island country, silver mining city.

Li Zhaofan took in the people of the island country here and erected a city wall.

The daimyo led his troops to invade once, but did not taste the benefits, so he did not invade the river.

"Just passed, and I am one year older. I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing."

Wrote a letter to his father Li Dongyang, but the reply was to let him rest assured to guard here for the time being.

He also wrote a letter to Lord Yan, but never received a reply.

"Lord, there are more and more debris on the silver ore." The deputy general presented a piece of silver ore.

This is a sign that the ore will be mined out.

If the silver that can be refined from a ship of ore is not enough to offset the freight cost, it is a loss.

"I have already submitted a petition to the court."

………

In the capital,

After Yang Yiqing left, the court discussed whether the three borders still needed to be guarded by a general.

The Oirat and Tatar had been defeated by the court. If there was a threat, the only one left was the Grand Duchy in the far north, but the Grand Duchy might not send troops to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the officials discussed moving the defense line northward to the border between Oirat and Tatar, and setting up a guard post at the border with the Grand Duchy.

Gu Dayong ordered the eunuchs to move the sand table.

Zhu Houzhao drew a map with his fingers, and Yan Chengjin was really impressed by this skill.

"I think we should set up garrisons in these thirty places."

Li Dongyang took a look and felt that it was a bit inappropriate. How many soldiers would be needed to set up this, and how could they be supported if they could not cultivate land?

"There is no money in the treasury, the new emperor should think twice." Wang Qiong said with a smile.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are Jurchens in Liaodong. They can hunt in extremely cold places. They can be ordered to set up garrisons here to guard the border for the court."

The Jurchens cannot be killed. They live in the Heihe area and have a long-standing feud with the Grand Duchy.

"And, if it is not enough, we can send Korean soldiers."

For some reason, Yan Chengjin suddenly remembered the big name, Qingshan Jun.
