Jinlianchuan Grassland, Kaiping Palace.
Kaiping Palace is the palace of the fourth noble concubine Batma Hong on the Jinlianchuan grassland. It is called the palace, but it is actually a castle. Right by the water of Jinlian River (Jinlian River is a river and the source of Luan River), it is not a traditional square city, but a bastion. The civil structure, outer walls and protruding gun platforms are all made of sandbags, and protected by trenches outside.
A 3-pound bronze cannon imitated by the Xuanfu Artillery Factory was mounted on the gun platform, and was controlled by artillerymen sent by the Zhangqian Army. Kaiping Palace City is not large, and there are only 6 protruding gun platforms. Each gun platform is equipped with 3 3-pound cannons, for a total of 18 3-pound cannons, which is the establishment of an artillery battalion. The number is not large, but for Houjin, who does not have heavy artillery (in fact, he already has it), a bastion with 18 3-pound cannons is simply impossible to break.
In addition to 3-pound cannons and bastions, Batma Hong's Duoyan Wanhu Orduo also has a camel army equipped with three-eyed guns. Of course, the power of three-eyed guns cannot be compared with that of Banjiu guns, but it is better than nothing. Good. And as long as it is used correctly, the three-eyed gun is still very useful in hand-to-hand combat!
Because the castle of Kaiping Palace is not big, there is no way to accommodate all the troops brought by the five noble concubines and four princes, as well as the troops brought by Zhu Youjian himself. So thousands of yurts were set up on the surrounding grasslands. When viewed from a high place, it was very spectacular.
Zhu Youjian himself lived in Kaiping Palace with Queen Zhou, Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan, and five Mongolian concubines, as well as a small number of ministers, eunuchs, maids, and soldiers.
The palace wall is therefore divided into two parts: the inner court and the outer castle. The barbican is where the soldiers and accompanying officials live. It is also where the government hall, armory, warehouses, and stables are located. The inner court is Zhu Youjian's cozy home on the Jinlianchuan grassland. After hunting wild animals for a day on the grassland, Zhu Youjian has returned to his palace. During dinner, I personally served dishes to Concubine Wu Liangha and Concubine Su Tai... This was to ask them to wait in Zhu Youjian's palace after dinner!
After Concubine Wu Liangha and Concubine Su Taisan bathed and changed clothes, they went to Zhu Youjian's palace. It is said to be a dormitory, but it is actually a very ordinary courtyard with a brick bungalow built in the courtyard. This is not only the study room where Zhu Youjian handles government affairs, but also his bedroom.
After Wu Liangha and Su Tai announced outside the door, they heard Zhu Youjian's voice coming from inside: "Come in!"
The two women pushed the door open and walked in. It was already dark and the lights were on in the room. Zhu Youjian was leaning on the desk to review the memorial - he is relatively careless in handling government affairs now, but no matter how careless he is, he still has to deal with it. In the past, in such a big country, how could there be less miscellaneous things? Sometimes something unexpected happens unexpectedly!
For example, among the memorials sent urgently with 600 yuan, there is a memorial jointly signed by Bi Ziyan, the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Yingyuan, the general of the Zhangqian Youth Army, and Li Zicheng, the deputy general of the Zhangqian Youth Army.
In this memorial, Zhu Youjian saw the title of "Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang"!
King Chuang...has finally appeared!
Moreover, he boldly raided the city of Xi'an, burned down an entire street, and robbed a lot of property... Although the leader of the thieves, Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong, and the leader of the Baishui Rebellion, Wang Er, were both in Xi'an and Luochuan was conferred, but the most critical figure, Gao Yingxiang, managed to escape!
And he also rushed into the vast Qinling Mountains...
In addition, according to Bi Ziyan, Sun Yingyuan, and Li Zicheng, there were at least 2,000 thieves who followed Gao Yingxiang and fled into the Qinling Mountains, and they also took away a large amount of property!
Shaanxi is short of everything these days, except for the poor who don’t have enough to eat! If Gao Yingxiang had been empty-handed, he might not be able to make a fuss. Now that he has wealth, the harm will be even greater!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh.
The two Mongolian women who came to serve heard it. Concubine Su Tai did not dare to ask, but Concubine Wu Liangha did not care. She knelt down and asked: "Long live Lord, are you getting the jade seal for Huang Taiji?" Do you sigh about it?"
After Jin Yiwei finally started to get down to business, Zhu Youjian was finally able to get some outdated news. The biggest thing among them was that Huang Taiji got the imperial seal!
The jade seal was fake, but Huang Taiji made a big show of it as if it were real, and even sent a message to the Mongolian ministries in Monan and Mobei, asking them to congratulate him.
This matter makes it clear that we must fight for Mongolian orthodoxy!
Zhu Youjian looked up at the two women who were already kneeling and smiled: "Please say hello first!"
The rules in Zhu Youjian's palace are very strict, which is different from the style of the rebellious son. Except for Queen Zhou's special treatment, all other beauties in the harem have to pay courtesy to the emperor and ministers, even the noble concubine Wu Liangha is no exception.
After bowing and saying hello, Zhu Youjian asked the two concubines to stand up, but did not let them sit down. Instead, they stood and answered.
"Wuliangha, now Huang Taiji has obtained the real jade seal." Zhu Youjian looked at Princess Wuliangha, "What do you think if there is another attempt to persuade Wuliangha to join and become the Great Khan of Mongolia?"
"Huang Taiji is the Great Khan of Mongolia?" Princess Wuliangha was stunned, "But he is not a Mongolian..."
Zhu Youjian smiled: "Kublai Khan was not a Han, so didn't he become the emperor of Han? Why couldn't Huang Taiji, a Jurchen, become the Great Khan of Mongolia?"
"Long Live Lord is right..." Wu Liangha smiled bitterly, "This Mongol Khan is now a man with strong soldiers and horses!"
Zhu Youjian snorted: "What is not done by those with strong soldiers and horses? How many people have been replaced by the Lord of the Grassland? Your Golden Family is also a later one!"
Concubine Su Tai, who was standing silently by the side, was a smart person. She had already heard the connotation of Zhu Youjian's words, so she asked in a low voice: "Long live my lord, do you also want to be the Great Khan of Mongolia?"
Zhu Youjian snorted: "Can I be this great Khan?"
This question is for Princess Wu Liangha. She is a direct descendant of the Golden Family!
Princess Ulyanha thought carefully and said: "Since Xue Chan Khan can be the emperor of China, of course you can be the Great Khan of Mongolia... But Mongolia is barren and vast, with many tribes. It's difficult to control. If Your Majesty becomes a prostrate, I'm afraid it will cost you money and trouble, and the gain will outweigh the loss. It's better..."
She didn't say any more, she just looked at Zhu Youjian sincerely. She is the most devoted of Zhu Youjian's five Mongolian concubines, and the most trusted by Zhu Youjian. Of course, she will not fight against Zhu Youjian for her mother's family.
But this big sweat really has nothing to do with it... It is no exaggeration to say that this big sweat is a big pit!
Zhu Youjian knew that Wu Liangha was planning for himself, so he smiled and said: "If I am the Khan of Mongolia alone, it would be meaningless. If I and Huang Taiji become the Great Khan together, it would be interesting!"
Princess Wuliangha seems to have understood Zhu Youjian's meaning. The little emperor wants to have a "battle of two khans" with Huang Taiji...Using the Mongolian khan position to attract Huang Taiji's attention Attracted to the Mongolian grasslands.
"I understand what Long Live Lord means!" Princess Ulyanha said, "I can hold the Kulitai Conference for Long Live Lord... Xue Chan Khan held the Kulitai Conference on the Jinlianchuan grassland. With this precedent, Long Live Lord can also summon the Mongolian nobles on the Jinlianchuan grassland and accept their support."
Zhu Youjian nodded and said to Concubine Su Tai: "Su Tai, what do you think?"
Concubine Sutai's son Ezhe is the heir to the Mongolian Khanate...
Hearing this question, Concubine Su Tai immediately knelt down to Zhu Youjian: "Long live Lord, Ezhe is willing to take the lead in supporting you to become the Great Khan!"
Zhu Youjian is still satisfied with this answer...Ezhe supported Huang Taiji once in his previous life, it's time for him to support someone else in this life!
Zhu Youjian then said to Concubine Wu Liangha: "Concubine, please write a letter to Princess Taisong and tell her that I, the Ming Emperor, plan to imitate Li Shimin and become the Khan of Mongolia! Let her ask Huang Taiji’s meaning!”
