Fan Qing wrote a secret memorial about the last suspect and sent it to the palace.
Dongchang exited the Gongyuan, and the candidates in the Gongyuan continued to answer questions.
But when the secret music entered the palace, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
That night, Shu Liang led Dongchang out of Beijing and took up residence in Shanxi. Fan Qing was left in the middle of the capital. Dongchang was still responsible for the make-up examination, with Fan Qing in charge.
On June 18, the college entrance examination officially ended.
Candidates were informed that their scores would be invalidated due to a fraud case, but the test papers were reviewed as usual. As a result, a fire broke out in Gongyuan that night and all the test questions were burned.
When Zhu Qiyu heard the news, a sneer appeared on his face: "It's really audacious."
"Your Majesty, do you want to investigate?" Feng Xiao also felt a fire in his heart.
The emperor has already taken a step back, but that force is still aggressive, forcing the emperor to give in again.
What are they? Dare you force the Ming Emperor?
"I endure it!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "Send Song Jie here!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Even though the key to the palace has been secured, the emperor has decreed that the corner gate must be opened to welcome Song Jie into the palace.
Song Jie has become a lot darker. He was originally in charge of the bodyguards, but Liang Yue left the capital and he was temporarily appointed as the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
He has been recruiting and training recently, and there are too many things pressing on him alone, but he is content with himself.
Because the more things happened, the more it showed that the palace favored Jane in the emperor's heart.
"stand up."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I'm thinner, darker, and tired."
"I am announcing your entry into the palace at Xingye because I have something to discuss with you."
Song Jie bowed and did not dare to say anything.
He heard a lot of rumors in the court, but he did not dare to get involved in political affairs. He positioned himself very clearly as the emperor's loyal dog.
But the emperor's killing of his ministers made him feel that his position was unstable and not very secure.
I was also confused in my heart.
There were also people at home who lobbied him and wanted to attach themselves to civil servants.
But he explicitly prohibited it from being discussed by anyone, let alone having any contact with civil servants.
The emperor was very sensitive to the collusion between honorable ministers and civil servants and would never tolerate it. Once he has the slightest clue, the Song family will be in catastrophe.
When passing by the Meridian Gate, he heard the screams of Uncle Peng Cheng and Uncle Hui'an.
Think about it again, Zhang Jin scolded the emperor for having no children...
If you put yourself in his shoes, he would be so angry that he would jump off his feet.
Therefore, he knew that he should be careful about his words and actions.
"We discussed in court today that there are plans to reset Kaiping Guard."
"What I mean is to connect the three rivers of Luanhe, Suhe, and Tanghe to form a new line of defense and reset the Wandu Division."
"I plan to move the capital camp to the north and assist the town to open the Pingwei."
"What do you think?"
Song Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the emperor was asking about military issues.
He thought the emperor would let him kill civil servants.
Fortunately not.
Song Jie did not answer directly, but looked at the map.
Enough time for a cup of tea.
The emperor did not rush him, and looked at the map in trance.
Song Jie then said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think the Luanhe River is too far."
"Just control the Tanghe River and trace the river."
"Just control the Liuhe River, a tributary of the Luanhe River, and build a defense line."
"The capital will have room to move around."
He knew very well how obsessed the emperor was with pushing the border northward.
Just want to get rid of Ming Dynasty's defensive.
There are only two ways to get rid of it: First, it is obviously impossible to move the capital of the Ming Dynasty back to Nanjing.
The second is to move the border northward and set up troops along the way, so that the capital will be safe.
This was the only way to choose, so Zhu Qiyu tried his best to push the border line, even making political deals.
On the other hand, the civil service group is actually opposed to changing the national border.
The reason is too simple. As long as the Ming Dynasty is in danger, civil servants can continue to encroach on Wu Xun's power and gradually form a huge civil servant group.
Moreover, the closer they are to the foreign race, the more profitable some people will be. How could this financial path be cut off?
Once the capital is safe, the civil service group will continue to shrink.
"How many soldiers are needed?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, immigration is the biggest problem."
Song Jie said: "As long as Han people move there, they can naturally be classified as military households, and there will be soldiers."
Zhu Qiyu took his eyes off the map and said with a smile: "Don't worry about immigrants. I have asked the Ministry of Punishment to compile strict laws. All criminals will move to the border. In the future, there will be a steady stream of people from the Central Plains immigrating to the border."
Song Jie nodded: "We need one hundred thousand soldiers to defend."
"Don't always think about defense. When it's time to fight, just go north."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "I have already discussed it with the courtiers. The strategic goal of the Ming Dynasty next year is to swallow up half of Mobei. I will reset Nuergandusi and restore the territory of Yongle Dynasty!"
Song Jie took a breath of air.
He somewhat understood that the emperor used the imperial examination fraud case to gain the support of the courtiers.
This shows the emperor's determination to expand his territory.
"That fifty thousand cavalry is enough!" Song Jie said.
Zhu Qiyu was quite satisfied with this number: "In the past, the Ming army only wanted to defend because it took into account the location of the capital."
"But now, I want to tell the border generals that I will guard the capital."
"Jiubian will do his best!"
"Create territory for me!"
Zhu Qiyu has made up his mind.
It is necessary to create a military group to check and balance civil servants.
Fighting is the fastest way to create a military group.
Song Jie's eyes showed hope. He wanted to be the commander-in-chief of Wandu Division, and he wanted to fight in Mobei and accumulate military exploits.
"I have asked Sun Yuanzhen to rebuild Kaiping Guard."
"So I asked you to come. When Qian returns to the capital, you will go out of the capital to be the commander-in-chief of the Wandu Division."
That's right.
Zhu Qiyu wants to release Song Jie from Beijing.
Next year, Song Jie will be the pioneer officer in the northern expedition against the Tatars.
This is painting a cake for Song Jie.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Song Jie kowtowed.
"But now, recruiting elite soldiers in Beijing is the most important thing."
Zhu Qiyu slowly returned to the chair and asked, "Do you think I am too harsh on my honorable ministers?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
Song Jie knelt on the ground: "Zhang Jin is disrespectful. His Majesty did not kill them all. God's grace is already great!"
"Really think so?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
Does Song Jie dare to say no?
Anyway, two lords died, and a member of the family of an honorable minister died. The entire lordship was in shock, thinking that the title was becoming increasingly worthless.
"Song Jie, you should understand me. I am not the kind of person who cannot share wealth and status."
"As long as you have merit, I will reward you with anything."
"Taizu can give you a king's title."
"I can do it too!"
"You can also split the earth and seal the king!"
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I do go too far sometimes, but I also have my reasons."
"If Uncle Pengcheng and Uncle Hui'an have a capable person in their family."
"I'm not that mean."
"It's just that they don't serve the court, and they turn a deaf ear to my imperial edict."
"You, Song Jie, are a marquis. Upon my decree, you sent all the men and women of your clan to the palace to serve you, which shows your loyalty."
"Hu Hui and Yu Qian, what are their statuses?"
"Did you disobey the imperial edict?"
"But what about Uncle Pengcheng and Uncle Hui'an? Because they are my relatives, they turned a deaf ear to the imperial edict."
"You are also my relative, can't you feel the same way?"
"Do you think I can stop being angry?"
Zhu Qiyu is complaining.
He is wooing Song Jie.
Song Jie was in charge of the nine admiral's offices, and there were no checks and balances in the capital.
Once Song Jie changes his mind and turns to civil servants, it is hard to say whether he is a blessing or a curse to the emperor.
Therefore, after the imperial examination fraud case, he immediately attracted Song Jie and could not let Song Jie go to the civil service.
He regretted a little, and had sent all his iron men out of Beijing, and now he was all alone.
"Zhang Jin is so disrespectful. I wish I could kill him for His Majesty!"
Song Jie expressed his thoughts: "I don't know anything else. I only know that the king, the king, and the ministers are eternal righteousness. I dare not forget it for a moment. I am your majesty's loyal dog, and it will never change!"
Wang Cheng was sent away.
There was no eunuch guarding the palace, which showed that the emperor trusted Song Jie.
Once Song Jie fails to pass today's test, he will be dismissed immediately, and the palace will send eunuchs to take charge of the army.
"good!"
Zhu Qiyu was very pleased: "I saw you right!"
"Your son and nephew are fine in the martial arts hall, so you don't have to worry."
"Wait until you go to Wandu Division and achieve great results."
"I will give you a certificate to make Song Jie a hereditary marquis."
"but!"
"I hope that one day you can be honored as a Duke!"
Song Jie understood that this was the emperor's deal.
If he is obedient, the emperor will protect his wealth.
The Song family must be members of the emperor and must not have the slightest connection with civil servants.
Otherwise, stop being a marquis and go to hell to report. The emperor does not keep white-eyed dogs.
"Civil and martial arts are clearly distinguished. This is an ancestral system." Zhu Qiyu reminded him again.
Song Jie knelt down to thank him.
Zhu Qiyu sent him away.
With Song Jie stabilized and the military power in hand, no one would dare to touch him.
I really didn’t expect that not having a son would become a trump card to keep his throne. Isn’t it ridiculous?
At noon the next day, Sun Yuanzhen's official report came.
It was almost like a handwritten letter. Zhu Qiyu put it down after taking one look at it, and ordered the Military Aircraft Department to issue the reward without any mistakes.
June twenty-two.
Morning.
Zhu Qiyu's face was radiant. Liu Zhenhai entered the palace this morning and sent Fo Lang's gun to the palace.
He asked Pei Mutou to try the gun.
They also deliberately postponed the morning court time, and all the officials went to the shooting range to try their guns.
A mere foreign weapon, the emperor of the Chinese dynasty and all the civil and military officials went to watch the ceremony.
All the officials slandered: The emperor seems to be a bit too foreign, so how could the Folangji people make a more powerful gun than the Ming Dynasty?
As a result, several muskets and shots were fired.
Yi Ming, who knew military matters, was stunned: "This Folang machine gun is twice as powerful as our artillery!"
This sentence caused a lot of discussion among the courtiers.
That gun is also very powerful.
Pei Mumu talked about many theories.
The courtiers didn't understand. They only knew that it was indeed powerful and easy to operate. If new tactics were devised, the power would be improved.
Return to Fengtian Hall.
The courtiers were talking a lot.
The noise of imitation firearms is very loud.
"My lords, have you ever thought about how the little Folangji can make such a powerful firearm?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
I really haven't thought about this issue.
"progress!"
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up: "The Folangji people continue to make progress. They inherited Zheng He's legacy and started a great voyage to open their eyes to the world."
"Looking at the Ming Dynasty, look at the firecrackers used in the army. They are all old gadgets used by the Yongle Dynasty."
"It has been more than thirty years since the Yongle Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty is still treading water, stuck in its ways."
"So, the decline of the Ming Dynasty is visible to the naked eye."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I don't mean to blame anyone, because the Ming Dynasty is so rich that you can have enough food just lying down. Who would run up to grab food?"
"Fo Langji is different. They live in a corner. If they don't start running, they won't have food to eat."
"My lords, it has been more than thirty years since Zheng He went to the West."
“We no longer know what it’s like overseas!”
"I don't have money to go to sea."
"It is also unable to organize a fleet like Zheng He's to go to sea."
Zhu Qiyu lowered his attitude.
He is currently in trouble at home and abroad. If he proposes to open the sea again, he will probably die suddenly tonight.
"but!"
"There are still many businessmen coming to Ming Dynasty to do business. We need to learn about the situation overseas from their mouths."
"My lords, stop being complacent and immersed in the glory of the heavenly kingdom."
"Wake up and see the world."
"We are already behind the times!"
"Perhaps there is a new Genghis Khan in the west, gearing up to fight from the east."
"We can't even defeat the small Oara and Tatars, how can we fight against more powerful enemies?"
"It's time for us to recognize ourselves."
"My lords!"
Zhu Qiyu's words are serious and thoughtful.
The courtiers felt really uncomfortable.
Nowadays, there are many capable ministers and virtuous ministers in the court, who are dedicated to the good, create a prosperous era, and leave their names in history.
As a result, I watched a gun test and was completely discouraged.
Is the Ming Dynasty still the Kingdom of Heaven?
The emperor said countless times that if he couldn't even defeat the small country of Luchuan, how could he be regarded as a great kingdom?
If you can't even defeat the Tatars and Oaras, what kind of kingdom is this?
If there is domestic injustice and unrest on the border, will the Ming Dynasty still be glorious?
"Your Majesty, I thought I was going to imitate firearms and chase Fo Langji." Geng Jiuchou said loudly.
"Geng Qing, have you ever thought about what if this firearm is just the inferior firearm of Fo Langji?"
"The Shipping Department has arrested the person, and the East Factory is investigating."
"But I think this group of people is a private armed force."
"Do you think that wealthy landowners among the common people can have military firearms?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Geng Jiuchou took a breath of air.
How advanced should the firearms in the Folangji army be?
"Your Majesty, can such an advanced firearm be obsolete?" Ye Sheng was stunned.
"I'm just guessing, but there will be results soon."
There was silence in Fengtian Hall.
If this Fo Langji comes to attack Daming, can Daming stop it?
"Your Majesty, it must be imitated!"
Wang Hong knelt down and said loudly: "Not only must we imitate, but we must also surpass Folangjiren."
"Weichen suggested that the Ordnance Bureau set standards for how many firearms to develop every month!"
"Behead him wherever he can't finish it!"
This move is cruel enough.
But it turns out that sometimes you can’t figure it out even if you ask him to think about it for a lifetime. Sometimes he gets an idea and he figures it out.
The court officials supported it and put pressure on the Ordnance Bureau.
After all, in the eyes of literati, craftsmen are not human beings at all. They do not understand that science and technology are the primary productive forces.
Today the court is filled with a sense of urgency.
The Tatar soldiers surrounded Daning and approached the capital. The capital was in danger.
Another imaginary enemy of Fo Langji appeared.
Therefore, the court paid more attention to the Arms Bureau.
"Give the Ordnance Bureau some more time. If they cannot develop more convenient and powerful firearms, then set a target for them."
Zhu Qiyu did not delegate power to the Metropolitan Procuratorate because he did not want courtiers to interfere.
There are some things that if the court does not care about, free development will be very good. If the court does not take care of them, the Arms Bureau will surely die.
A layman blindly guides an expert, and everyone will die.
"Fo Langji's warships are also docked in Guangdong. I also want to see if their warships are also more advanced than ours?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "However, Liu Zhenhai brought back a batch of crops."
"These crops are just like the ones I saw in my dreams."
"If cultivated well, these crops will allow the Ming Dynasty to stay in Mobei, and there will even be no food problems in the future."
Zhu Qiyu talked about his dream again.
The courtier had only smiled before.
But Xue Xilian, who grew Yumi, found that this crop was particularly strong and fearless in the wind and rain.
"There's a lot of crops on board."
"If you want to cultivate it, please take one back and cultivate it carefully."
"When these crops become popular all over the world, I will remember your contribution!"
There is also a kind of food in these boats that no one knows.
But Zhu Qiyu knew at a glance that it was an onion.
Onions native to West or Central Asia were brought to the ship by the cannibals to supplement vitamins. These French crew members ate onions.
Onions are easy to grow, just plant the bulbs in the soil and they will survive.
This thing saved the stomach and intestines of the entire Central Asia.
An indispensable tool for big voyages.
Zhu Qiyu has asked the palace to plant it.
Just when the next court was announced.
A sound of good news came from outside the hall: "Good news! Good news for Daning!"
The eunuch's heartbreaking voice stopped the officials who were about to disperse.
"Send it over quickly!"
Zhu Qiyu walked quickly outside the palace, and Feng Xiao trotted to receive the good news, ran up and handed it to the emperor.
After unfolding it, Zhu Qiyu opened his mouth wide: "How is that possible?"
Hu Xi and others were so anxious that they came over and knelt beside Zhu Qiyu's legs to read the success report. When he saw a few words, his mouth opened wide.
"nice!"
"What is so great is to be modest!"
Zhu Qiyu read it again and then handed it to Feng Xiao: "Read it, let the courtiers listen! They will all be happy!"
In Yu Qian's victory report, he briefly described several battles, and then talked about the military exploits and achievements, including tens of thousands of words about the meritorious ones.
The courtiers all opened their mouths.
is this real?
How many years has it been since our country won such a great victory?
The Yongle Dynasty's second northern expedition, and since then, there has been no more!
It’s been forty years!
"In one battle, the Tatars defeated 140,000 elite soldiers. How heroic is Yu Qian!"
Zhu Qiyu was so excited that he could not control himself. The Tatar soldiers besieged Daning City, as if they were stuck in their throats.
"great merit!"
"Great work!"
"With this merit, Yu Qian can be made a Duke or even a King!"
"Hahaha!"
"I'm really proud of myself!"
"Yu Qian is the number one hero of the Jingtai Dynasty!"
"The number one hero is my great Ming Yu Qian, hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu was so excited that he danced and slowly walked up to Danbi: "According to the list of military merits, all rewards will be given. The rewards will be doubled again. I will take out the jewels from my own money and reward them!"
"Give the soldiers who died in this battle more land as rewards!"
"As long as the soldiers who participated in this battle will be rewarded heavily!"
"Yu Qian, Hu Xiu, Yu Kang, Gu Rong, and Qi Zhuo all contributed greatly!"
"The cabinet will draw up a list of rewards and send them from the capital. They will all be generously rewarded!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed loudly, sweeping away the decline.
The danger of Daning has been resolved.
The capital is no longer in danger, and Song Jie can completely move north and rebuild Wandu Division.
Wait, the Tatars are out.
Then the entire Mobei is an empty map.
"Hurry up and bring me the map!" Zhu Qiyu saw the rough map of Tatar.
Ming Dynasty really didn’t know how Tatar and Wala were divided.
He pointed at the land in Mobei: "I want all these lands!"
"Move the border north, to Helin!"
"Move to Khan Mountain! Give me the imperial mausoleum of Genghis Khan!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu was excited.
The courtiers were also excited.
This is the first great victory in forty years.
A great victory that will go down in history.
There are 140,000 elite Tatar soldiers. How many people do Yu Qian have? More than 100,000 people.
Win more with less, fight beautifully!
"Your Majesty, the Jingtai Dynasty ranks first in the contribution to the Taibao!" Hu Hui shed tears. His son Hu Xiu emerged in this battle, and he was also honored.
"Yes, Jingtai Chao is number one!"
"He is my Zhongshan King (Xuda)!"
"Old Master, you personally draw up a list of rewards. Don't miss anyone. They are all meritorious officials of the Ming Dynasty."
"Those who die must also be greatly rewarded."
"He died for the court. I can't let them feel cold."
"For those who died in the war, let one of their sons, Yin Guan, start from Xiaoqi."
"Everyone alive will be promoted."
"Old Master, you will draw up the plan yourself, discuss it with the Cabinet, and then submit it to me."
Zhu Qiyu was beaming with joy.
At the end of the memorial, Yu Qian pleads guilty. He took the initiative to seize the reward without authorization.
"Tell Yu Qian!"
"When he leaves the capital, I will allow him expediency!"
"What he did was what I authorized him to do. There is no need to apologize, and he is not guilty either!"
"Those seized do not need to be put into the official treasury. They are all distributed and recorded to reduce the loss of transportation."
"If you don't get enough rewards from the luck, you must not treat the heroes lightly!"
"Write this sentence into the imperial edict, including all rewards. It must be written into the imperial edict so that the meritorious ministers can see it. I am watching them in the center!"
"Tell Yu Qian again to go to Liaodong and fight hard."
"Don't worry about your superiority overshadowing your master."
"I have prepared the prince and will be waiting for him in the capital! Celebrate his success!"
Make the king!
He wants Yu Qian to become the leader of honorable ministers!
However, once Yu Qian is crowned king, he will no longer be able to go out to fight in the capital, and he will always have to sit in the middle of the capital.
Besides, Yu Qian's merits are not enough to be crowned a king. A posthumous title is enough. If he wants to be crowned a king while he is still alive, he has to fight a few more beautiful victories like this.
The reason why Zhu Qiyu said this is inspiring.
He decided to vigorously support the military group and give people enough sweetness.
"Your Majesty, Yu Taibao is a civil servant, how can he be crowned king?" Hu Hui immediately knelt down.
Yu Qian is the backbone of civil servants.
You must not be dragged away by Xun Chen.
He guessed the emperor's thoughts to some extent, and wanted to use the military group to check and balance the civilian group, forming a civil-military division of the Hongwu Dynasty.
But Your Majesty, have you never thought that once a large number of lords are sealed off, will you be able to suppress them with your ability?
Who is Taizu?
He brought out all the generals and generals under him, and he could kill whomever he wanted.
How powerful was Taizong?
The generals under him may not be as good at fighting as Emperor Taizong and his three sons.
You are awarded based on your merit. Once the military merit group becomes bigger, you will not be able to suppress it.
When the time comes, you still have to find a way to kill someone.
But killing military generals is different from killing civil servants.
The most important thing is that the civil servants do not want the Wu Xun Group to appear again.
Don't look at it now. All the people who can fight are civil servants.
Hu Xiu and Yu Kang were going to take the imperial examination.
The decline of Wu Xun is a foregone conclusion.
The era of military knighthood has passed and will never be allowed to reappear.
"Hahaha, even if I make him king, will he be willing?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "I will confer a title on Yu Qian, and Yu Qian will commit suicide in Daning, hahaha!"
The courtiers couldn't help laughing.
The people in Fengtian Hall were extremely excited.
"I plan to be promoted to the Marquis of Kanghuai'an. Hu Xiu, Gu Rong, Niu Zhen, and Tar Gujin are the uncles. What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, although Yu Kang had military exploits, he committed a crime on the battlefield, which almost led to the collapse of our army. I think there will be no reward without punishment."
Wang Hong said: "I'm afraid Hu Xiu has ambitions to take the imperial examination, so it's not appropriate for him to be ennobled."
"Although Niu Zhen and Gu Rong have military exploits, it is not in line with the ancestral system to be knighted based on just one meritorious service."
Anyone can see that the emperor is eager to support military groups.
"You mean, no reward, no seal?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, Hu Xiu wants to take the imperial examination. Once he is knighted, he will not be able to take the imperial examination." Hu Hui firmly opposed the knighthood of Hu Xiu.
His family is a civil servant family, and he will never become a stinking lord.
"Okay, Hu Xiu will not be sealed for now."
"Although Yu Kang was at fault, Yu Qian has already been punished. He has indeed made great achievements."
"The first Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Marquis of Huai'an, but did not grant him a world certificate."
"Taer, Niu Zhen, and Gu Rong were all granted the title of earl."
"But they don't give world coupons."
"World certificates can be earned through great achievements."
"Tal Gujin granted him the name Zheng Guta and granted him the title of Le'an Bo; Gu Rong was granted the title of Changyi Bo; Niu Zhen was granted the title of Anqiu Bo."
Zhu Qiyu sealed the coffin and concluded.
This earl is sealed.
This battle was fought so beautifully, how could it not be awarded a few titles?
Spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
Regarding this battle, the soul is Yu Qian, and the others just borrowed Yu Qian's light. I let them lead the army alone, but they are not the commanders of an army.
But Zhu Qiyu forcibly knighted them to tell the generals in the army that as long as you have military exploits, I will give you a great reward.
"I obey the order!"
Hu Xi sighed, the emperor was too impatient.
This third uncle Hou is not a talented general in his own right.
After going to court, Zhu Qiyu was in high spirits.
He left behind the important ministers of the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to push the territory northward." Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly.
The emperor stared at the map endlessly, still squatting in front of the map to draw lines.
The thoughts are clear.
"How do you say it?" Zhu Qiyu did not raise his head.
"Your Majesty, how can we provide food when the border is pushed so far?" Geng Jiuchou asked.
"Persevere for a few years. After a few years, rice and other things will become popular, and you won't have to worry about food problems." Zhu Qiyu replied.
"By then, it won't be too late to push our front line north."
Zhu Qiyu raised his head: "The 140,000 elite Tatar soldiers have all collapsed!"
"Yu Qian worked hard and suffered more than 100,000 losses in the battle. Is this the end?"
"No, I won't give in!"
"I want land!"
"Let the people of Mobei have nowhere to graze!"
Zhu Qiyu was indignant and sat on the map: "I am going to push north! Drive the Tatars to the west!"
He is like an angry child.
That's right.
Yu Qian did defeat the Tatars.
However, the wealth on the grassland will only benefit Wala, Uliangha, Jurchen, etc., but Ming Dynasty cannot enjoy it.
But Ming Dynasty was the hero of this battle.
But he couldn't even harvest the spoils of war.
Zhu Qiyu felt aggrieved.
Hu Xi smiled bitterly: "The Central Plains Dynasty has always been like this. We can't gain a foothold in Mobei."
"How did the Tang Dynasty gain a foothold?" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Feng Xiao told him that the ground was cold, and Zhu Qiyu stood up.
"Your Majesty, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, barbarians were used to control Mobei, so the territory was naturally vast."
"But it was precisely because the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline and the Hu people did not obey the orders of the Central Plains Dynasty generals that the Anshi Rebellion occurred."
Hu Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Although our Ming Dynasty's territory is far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty."
"But the two capitals and thirteen provinces are all under the direct control of our Ming Dynasty, and our imperial decrees can be carried out unimpeded."
"This is the core of the Han people."
Zhu Qiyu was angry.
Yu Qian fought such a beautiful battle, but the result was cheap for foreigners.
This battle was so fucking frustrating.
"How can we gain a foothold in Mobei?" Zhu Qiyu asked through gritted teeth.
"Food, as long as there is enough food, Mobei will be our home."
Hu Hui said seriously: "This is true for all the territories in the world. As long as it can produce food, it can become our territory of the Ming Dynasty."
"Then Yumi..."
Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Hui: "Your Majesty, the imperial rice has just been planted, and we don't know what the results will be yet."
"Even if it is true as you said, promotion will take at least two to three years."
“It will take more than ten years to really popularize it.”
"We are rooted in Mobei. The huge consumption every year is more of a headache than fighting a war."
Zhu Qiyu didn't listen to his nagging and looked at the ministers angrily: "Xue Xilian, what do you think?"
"The veteran agrees with what the old master said. Mobei is easy to fight but difficult to defend. It is a plain. Even if a city is built, it cannot stop the cavalry charge."
Xue Xilian told the truth.
Ye Sheng, Wang Fu and others all said that the border cannot be pushed.
"Damn it!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious: "Then we will hand over the victory to others?"
"I am really unwilling to do so!"
"Why? We lost so many people and won a huge victory, a feat that will shine in the annals of history."
"In the end, I couldn't get anything. I feel so frustrated!"
The ministers bowed.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Emperor Taizong defeated Wu Liangha, which gave the Oara and Tatars room to rise.
This has been the case in the Central Plains dynasties since ancient times.
What if the wolf is sealed in Xu, and Shi Yanran is restrained?
Eventually we have to withdraw from the grassland.
War costs a lot, so it is better to spend money to buy peace, so many dynasties use Sui coins to buy peace.
This is determined by the geographical environment.
There is no way.
"If royal rice can be grown in Mobei, can it provide enough food?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers.
"That Mobei is the back garden of the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Xi said proudly: "Not to mention the Tatars and Oaras, even if Genghis Khan comes back to life, he will not be able to defeat us!"
The Central Plains dynasty needed a complete logistics line to fight the war.
As long as the logistical supplies are sufficient and relying on human sea tactics, defeat is impossible.
"I believe in my dreams."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hui and softened his tone: "Old Master, can you allow me to be willful for once?"
"My lords, I have no son. I just want to make great achievements for the ages, so that future generations will remember me and know that there is a person named Emperor Jingtai."
"My only pursuit in this life is to shine in the history books."
"My lords, please give me a chance to be willful, okay?"
As he spoke, tears fell down.
The courtiers knelt on the ground and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, government is not a child's play. If we push the border to the north and occupy the Tatar pastures, we will need a large number of immigrants."
"once……"
"My veteran is saying that once we can't hold that land, what will happen to the people who moved there?"
"When we build a city, we will bring all the secrets of the Central Plains' culture, economy, etc. to Mobei."
"Once we're kicked out."
"The Mobei Hu people have learned what we have learned. Can we still defend the Great Wall?"
Hu Xi shed tears: "I also want to restore the territory of Yongle Dynasty."
"But those are barren lands."
"You will say that we guard the Great Wall. Even if one day we are attacked by the Hu tribe, we can rely on the Great Wall to build a defense line."
"But have you ever thought about it, people's minds change."
"When we lose our enemies in the north, Jiubian will quickly decline."
"Just like Bei Yuan was rushed into the capital by my Mingjun, those Bei Yuan nobles can't even ride horses."
"Your Majesty, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
"Your Majesty's heart is felt by me."
"But the country is not a child's play after all. I cannot allow your majesty to do as he pleases!"
Hu Xi said while crying.
In the Fengtian Hall, the officials were crying and howling.
The emperor burst into tears.
But I know that rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can be grown in Mobei, and Mobei can be supplied with food.
The Qing Dynasty is so bad, but they can use food to control Mobei and the Ming Dynasty. Don't they need to be ten thousand times stronger?
"I'll figure out a way to get the money and food. All of it will come from internal funds."
"In just two years, if my plan fails, I will issue an edict to move the people back."
"My lords, please allow me to do whatever I want for once!"
Zhu Qiyu said in a consultative tone: "This is the only time in my life that I will be willful. Please allow me to do so!"
This is what the emperor said.
If you continue to refuse, you will have to break up.
"Just two years!"
Hu Bi gritted his teeth and said: "But the border cannot be pushed too far, and the border is captured by Hu Mountain."
This capture of Hushan is the capital of Yi.
In the 23rd year of Hongwu Emperor Taizong's reign, he was awarded the Northern Yuan Taiwei Nai'er Buhua here.
In the eighth year of Yongle's reign, Emperor Taizong visited this place again during the Northern Expedition. He ordered his officials to pay homage to the mountains and rivers, and renamed the mountain "Qinhu Mountain" and the spring "Lingji Spring", which was carved on the rocks.
Zhu Qiyu didn't expect that Hu Hui was more ruthless than he thought.
He just thought that it would be enough to use Huanghe River as the boundary and push it parallel to the west.
As a result, Hu Xi went to Yidu in one go.
"Old Master, push to the Lqu River, break Qiuba Mountain, break Helin, build a defense line along the line, and next year send troops to Yuerhai to drive the Tatars to the west."
hiss!
The courtier vomited blood directly.
It’s winter for ten months a year in the Lqu River area. If you go further north, can you still graze?
Moreover, this place is the hometown of Genghis Khan. If you take over his hometown, why don’t you wait for the Oara and Tatars to beat you like crazy!
"Your Majesty, too much is not enough." Geng Jiuchou whispered.
"Geng Qing, if you had said it before, I would have listened, but now the Tatars have been defeated, and the entire Mobei is barren, and it is all our territory."
"Don't talk about knocking down Genghis Khan's imperial mausoleum. Even if Genghis Khan is resurrected, he still has to bow down to me!"
"However, the Mongols are a Chinese branch after all."
"The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system, and the legal system came from the Yuan Dynasty. Genghis Khan is one of the outstanding emperors of China. I will not allow others to destroy his imperial mausoleum."
"Didn't our Ming Dynasty still worship Kublai Khan?"
"Where's Bai Gui?"
Zhu Qiyu took a look and found that Bai Gui was not here.
It turns out that Bai Gui was involved in the imperial examination fraud case.
He was stubborn and went to Dongchang Prison to prove his innocence.
"Your Majesty, Shangshu Bai is in prison." Wang Fu reported.
"Let it out quickly."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "This Bai Gui is still playing tricks with me. Let him come out and I will rewrite the history of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Huh?" The courtier did not understand the emperor's thinking.
"Make Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan and other Mongol Khans Chinese, and then write some myths and legends, and more operas, so that everyone in the world knows that Genghis Khan is the emperor of the Han people!"
Well?
The emperor’s bad taste!
The ministers were speechless.
However, this is also a good way for Huairou Mobei to give Mongolian people a sense of belonging.
"Let the Hanlin Academy come up with more Chinese names, don't be perfunctory, and make them sound nice, with some two-character names and some three-character names."
"All common people under the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to be called by other names, and they were all given Chinese names."
"In every city, give me a good name."
"From the ancient books, we can't say anything about capturing Hu Shan. We can talk to the Hu people in private, but don't say it in formal situations."
Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes: "Not all ethnic groups in Mobei are Mongols."
"We divide each tribe into different ethnic groups, compile their myths and histories, and tell them that they are all descendants of Chinese Miao people, not Mongols."
"Your Majesty wants to weaken Mengren's existence?" Geng Jiuchou understood.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, the energy Genghis Khan injected into the Mongolian people is terrible. Hundreds of years have passed, and the Mongolian people are still so proud."
"Mongols will never succumb to foreigners."
"So, let's turn each ethnic group into a different ethnic group."
"And then naturalize these ethnic groups into Han people."
"Ten years from now, if the history of these ethnic groups is swept into the trash, new children will only know that they are Han Chinese."
"I will no longer remember who they are or what their ethnicity is."
“In particular, no words are allowed to exist.”
Zhu Qiyu wanted to destroy the roots of culture.
Then Chineseize its people.
Step by step, little by little Chineseization.
This requires a strong central dynasty as a backer.
The Ming Dynasty must not decline after a short period of prosperity, otherwise all these things will be in vain.
"I agree with your Majesty's thoughts!"
Hu Hui's eyes flickered: "Since we are making history, we should make it thoroughly. Erase the original place names and replace them with Chinese names."
"I will go back and check the history books, find the ancient Chinese name, and replace it."
"We have given favors, but we must also be punished."
"All naturalized aliens must use severe methods to intimidate them so that they dare not leave the Ming Dynasty."
This is a hard knife.
If you use a soft knife, it will take too long.
It requires a huge amount of money to assimilate, which could only be done in the past.
But things are different now. The Tatar grazing area is completely blank and should become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Hong laughed suddenly: "Your Majesty, if you become a Han citizen, you will not be a Han citizen after all."
"What do you think of Mr. Wangge?" Zhu Qiyu took this old man seriously.
This old man has a vicious mind and can be called a modern poisoner.
"But by immigrating from the Central Plains to the border areas, forcing Han people to marry foreign women, and then driving up prices so that foreign men cannot find wives, they will become completely extinct in a few years."
You are still cruel enough!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sparkled: "If they can't get a wife, won't they rebel?"
"Your Majesty, are you afraid of their rebellion?" Wang Hong asked.
"Of course I'm not afraid."
Zhu Qiyu understood immediately.
This vicious plan is to hope that they will rebel. If they rebel, they will be defeated and they will be captured as prisoners. After a few generations, the blood of this ethnic group will be gone.
The Han people became the sole owners of this land.
"Wang Hong, does this move harm Tianhe?" Zhu Qiyu relented.
But in Wang Hong's eyes, His Majesty is still dissatisfied.
When it comes to poison, it depends on you.
"What I mean is that those who are obedient will be allowed to marry Han women, and those who are disobedient will not be allowed to marry." Zhu Qiyu took a step back.
Originally, a group of moral gentlemen in Ming Dynasty should criticize this kind of behavior.
As a result, all the ministers nodded.
"Your Majesty, this plan can be carried out secretly. In order to save face, we must naturally declare that they are members of China and do not let them see anything strange."
Hu Xi added.
"Wang Hong, since you have come up with a plan, please write a detailed plan and submit it to me. After all the ministers discuss it, we will begin to implement it."
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "This plan is called the Jiu Occupy Magpie's Nest Plan. It is classified as top secret in the Military Aircraft Department and can only be accessed by senior cabinet ministers."
"I obey the order!"
The courtier smiled evilly.
In fact, this kind of thing has been done in all dynasties. Assimilation is often bloody.
"How many governors should be established?"
Zhu Qiyu did not plan to directly establish a province, because naturalization would be bloody, but directly established a capital department and military control.
timing! Please subscribe! I wrote it wrong. I forgot that Liang Yue had left Beijing, so I changed it to Song Jie.
