"Your Majesty, I heard that you are gathering the army this time... to seize the Han tribe's Princess Wuliangha on the grassland?"
"Long live my lord, there is really nothing good about this Princess Wuliangha. She is not young, almost thirty, and she is a vulgar and ugly Tatar woman. She cannot be compared with the women of our Han family. If your majesty feels that Datong Palace If you are cold and cold, why not choose a few good girls from Dagong Town to enter the palace..."
"Yes! The women of Datong are very beautiful. I am from Datong, so I can go and make arrangements for Your Majesty..."
"Long live my lord, you mobilized all your troops to snatch a woman on the grassland. If word spreads about this, will the world look at you like this?"
"Yes, people's words are scary. Your Majesty, please think twice..."
Zhu Youjian's order to gather the army had just been issued, and all the loyal people who knew that the emperor was going to snatch women on the grassland came to remonstrate.
It’s impossible not to remonstrate with me on this matter! The emperor is so lustful that he can just choose some folk girls to enter the palace here in Datong. How can he go to the grasslands to rob Tatar women? And he has to bring 20,000 cavalry to rob him. No one can do this nonsense!
When the loyal friends came to speak, Zhu Youjian was crouching on the desk writing a letter... to Lin Dan Batur and Princess Wu Liangha. He has to tell people that he is coming to steal the marriage! Princess Wu Liangha had to be prepared. It was best not to stay in Kuku and Tuncheng, but to wait for the emperor to grab it at Xiashuihai (the name of a lake) outside the border wall of Datong. And you have to bring your own tribesmen and herds with you.
The Han tribe implemented a traditional grassland enfeoffment system. Not only the sons of the Great Khan could get a share of the family property, but also the daughters. Wu Liangha's late husband Gui Yingqia was also a big nobleman who joined the Han Dynasty. Of course, he also had his own tribesmen and herds. Since Guiying had no sons, his tribesmen and herds also belonged to Wu Liangha. The combined industries of the two are almost a thousand households, which can be considered a medium-sized grassland tribe.
What Zhu Youjian really values is this tribe with more than a thousand households... This is the heart of Chongzhen's Er!
That's right, Zhu Youjian is ready to learn from the yet-to-be-born "Loan King" Zhu San and build his own grassland Or'er. Then based on this Or'er, some small tribes of Uliangha and Karaqin Mongolia who were nomadic on the edge of the Great Wall were annexed, and gradually formed a Chongzhen Or'er with thousands of households.
With this Chongzhen Ten Thousand Households' Office, Zhu Youjian's "emperor's servants" truly have the ability to run rampant on the Monan grassland - unlike the Jianzhou Jurchens who have the courage to fight decisively, the Mongols of this era are best at Run away. Not only is one sweat running, but other sweats are also sweat running. It is not difficult to defeat them in a decisive battle. What is difficult is to chase them and catch their headquarters in the vast grassland, and only then can they deal a truly devastating blow.
For Zhu Youjian, the cost of attacking these "Khan Paopaos" cannot be too high, so he cannot rely on tens of thousands of civilians to transport food to support tens of thousands of cavalry going deep into the grasslands and deserts. The current Ming Dynasty cannot afford such a war!
Therefore, the only feasible option is to learn from the "Loan King" or Jianzhou, firmly control some Mongolian tribes, and let them drive cattle and sheep to provide logistical support for their expeditions.
"My lords," Zhu Youjian had finished writing the letter, put down his brush, looked at a group of Zhongliangs who didn't understand anything but just yelling, and said calmly, "I am not trying to rob Princess Wuliangha, but We want to take back Princess Wuliangha!"
Rob... and snatch back?
Those present were all officials who were literate in writing, so of course they understood the difference between the two!
"Your Majesty," Hong Chengchou, who had a treacherous look on his face, reacted immediately and asked immediately, "Have you already favored Princess Wu Liangha?"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "Of course I have favored her...and more than once, maybe she was pregnant with a dragon seed! Mr. Hong, do you think I should take her back?"
"Yes, we should snatch it back!" Hong Chengchou said sternly, "Since Princess Wuliangha is His Majesty's woman, we cannot let Hutu Dunhan marry her to someone else! I am willing to take thousands of cavalry to Tumo. Techuan, grab someone for His Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Hong Qing is indeed my humerus... But Hong Qing is from Fujian and has never been a governor or commander-in-chief in Datong. He doesn't know much about what's going on outside the walls of Datong." What a situation!”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops out of the fortress!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to pay a visit to Guihua City!"
Zhang Yiming and Man Gui understood what Zhu Youjian's words meant and hurriedly left work to ask for a fight. Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded, and then turned his attention to Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Zhu Guobi.
These three great nobles, under the supervision of Zhu Youjian, led people to inspect the military fields of Shanxi Xingdusi and the Eighth Guards Sixty-fourth Fort these days - this matter is not difficult for them, because they have been in the family for generations They are all engaged in invading military camps. Naturally, he knows all about the tricks involved.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian didn't want to take back the military camp. He just wanted to collect one bucket or two liters of wheat or millet from one acre of farmland, and some fodder. If we can clear out more than 2 million acres of military settlements in Datong, we will be satisfied with collecting 250,000 shi of grain a year.
"Okay!" Zhu Youjian nodded and said with a smile, "You are all loyal and good...send troops with me! This time not only my servants are going to attack, but also the servants of the generals in Datong, as well as the servants of the Beijing camp. The general's servants also attack!
Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu... you should not go, stay in Datong and take care of the affairs of the Datong Governor's Office and the Datong Imperial City. "
What? In charge of the governor's office and the imperial city of Datong?
Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu were both stunned. Didn't they become the governor of Datong and the acting official of the palace? What about Zhang Yiming?
Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhang Yiming and said with a smile: "In this battle of Datong, Zhang Qing has made great contributions... He can be promoted to the governor of Xuanda. When the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the cabinet arrive in Datong, I will issue a formal edict."
"Your Majesty," Zhang Yiming was stunned, "Do you want... to live in Datong forever?"
Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "I want to spend the summer in Datong! Of course I have to call the Director of Ceremonies and the Cabinet...at least Xu Yingyuan and Huang Liji must be called to Datong."
What? To escape the heat? A group of Zhongliang were stunned again. It was already autumn, so why should they avoid the heat? In two or three months, it will snow here in Datong!
Zhu Youjian chuckled: "Everyone go back and prepare. In three days, I will personally carry 20,000 cavalry, leave the Datong border wall, and station troops into the sea!"
...
"Everyone, please go back and prepare. In three days, I will personally bring 100,000 troops and swear to go south to attack the Southern Dynasty!"
On the tributary of the Liaohe River, in the upper reaches of the river, which the Mongols call Laohamulin, there are countless yurts set up on a riverside grassland called Kekohetao. All yurts are centered around a large golden tent.
Right in front of this golden tent, Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of Tiancong of the Kingdom of Jin, was sitting high on a throne placed in the open air. There were two rows of chairs on both sides. Sitting there were the political leaders of the Kingdom of Jin, Baylor and Horqin, Taiji of the left-wing Mongolian tribes such as Karaqin and Inner Khalkha.
Behind these two rows of chairs stood a group of warriors from the Jin Kingdom and Mongolian tribes. When Huang Taiji personally said that he wanted to go south to conquer the Ming Dynasty, they all cheered in unison.
Huang Taiji looked at the warriors from Daijin and Mongolia gearing up, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this time he went south to attack the Ming Dynasty, he had a high chance of winning!
Although there have been some strange news from right-wing Mongolia in the past few days, such as the great emperor of tomorrow who bravely defeated the three armies, the great emperor of tomorrow who defeated the first warrior of Mongolia, and the duel between the great emperor of tomorrow and the Mongolian Khan... ..Obviously, the Great Tomorrow Emperor was not caught or beaten to death by Hutu Dunhan, a runaway Khan! But Huang Taiji still did not give up his plan to go south to attack the border wall of Ji Town!
Because the Emperor of Heaven is definitely not in Beijing now... and he has also taken away quite a lot of Beijing elites, the area around the Great Wall in Ji Town must be relatively empty, so the Kingdom of Jin has an opportunity to take advantage of it!
