"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Brother Xin, don't cry! Don't cry! Brother Xin is already two years old, not a baby anymore... Crying every day will make the bad guy Huang Taiji laugh!"
"Woo woo woo... Huangtai is good or bad, baby Xin is afraid..."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? You are two years old, and you are still afraid of Huang Taiji?"
"Woooooooo..."
"Don't cry, it's useless!"
"Wow, I believe the baby won't cry anymore..."
"Don't be afraid of Huang Taiji! Brother, help you beat him and beat him to death!"
In the city of Beijing, inside the Deshengmen Urn City, a three-year-old kid was scolding a two-year-old kid in front of a group of dumbfounded senior officials!
Needless to say, the three-year-old kid who was being disciplined was none other than Zhu Cixiang, the great nephew of the Ming Emperor and the most rebellious son in the world. The one who was being punished was, of course, his younger brother Zhu Cixuan, the king of Daming Xin.
A few days ago, Zhu Cixuan's biological mother, the imperial concubine Wu Liangha, was summoned to Beijing to pick up her son, and she fell in love with Zhu Youjian by the way. Today is the day when Concubine Wu Liangha left Beijing with her son to join the feudal clan in Xinzhou... But although this Zhu Cixuan was born to Concubine Wu Liangha, he had been following Empress Zhou and his brother Zhu Cixuan since his birth. Grow up together.
Even though the two brothers often fight against each other, they still have a very good relationship. When the brothers parted ways today, Zhu Cixuan couldn't bear to leave his brother and burst into tears in front of the officials who came to see him off...
Zhu Cixiang, on the other hand, still looked like a young and mature man. When he saw his younger brother crying like a man in tears, he taught him a lesson. Moreover, the words he used to discipline his younger brother were very impressive. If Hou Jin's Tian Cong Khan heard this, he would definitely be shocked - he is such a fierce Khan, but he can only scare a baby under two years old? Where is the majesty of the Great Khan?
Of course, Huang Taiji couldn't hear it. Those who can hear this now are the elders of the Ming Dynasty, including Wang Zaijin, the first assistant, Wen Tiren, the second assistant, Zhang Fengyi in charge of the military department, Zhang Yiming in charge of the household department, and Xu Guangqi in charge of the engineering department. , Sun Chengzong in charge of the Ministry of Punishments, Qian Qianyi, the king of small reports, oh, and Sun Chuanting, who has just replaced the right minister of the Ministry of War (he is now the right minister of the Ministry of War, the commander-in-chief of the army in front of the palace, and the ninth admiral). Door).
When these high officials heard Zhu Cixiang's words, they felt so ashamed!
Look, such a little kid is not afraid of Huang Taiji, but among them, the important civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to say that they are not afraid of Huang Taiji or the Eight Banners soldiers?
Two little brats were bragging, and a group of big men were feeling ashamed. But Zhu Youjian and Concubine Wu Liangha, who were also about to part ways temporarily, were not in the Wengcheng at this time, but were on the top of the Deshengmen tower, looking at the city. The 4,000 camel soldiers lined up neatly outside were whispering.
"My eldest concubine, the military ministers whom I have placed in high esteem now, in addition to the generals who are marching in front of the tent, are the generals of the Hou family, the generals of the Ma family, the generals of the You family, the generals of the Hei family, the generals of the Zhao family, and the generals of the Man family. As for the generals at the border, I recently asked the civil servants in the DPRK to recommend the companions for brother Xin. Those civil servants did not want to go, so they recommended the generals of the Hou family and the generals of the You family in Yulin. I think these two families are also good, both from Yulin. All the generals in Shaanxi Province have their own servants and generals, and there are many poor military households who depend on them. It is no problem to raise a thousand households to Xinguo. Now that the five towns in Shaanxi have to lay off their troops, heroes like them have less room to use them. ...If you don’t object, I will talk to the two families when I return to Shaanxi and ask them to bring together one thousand households to Xinguo to assist Brother Xin.”
Of course, Concubine Wu Liangha will not object, because her son will not only rely on the strength of his mother's family in the future. He must have his own direct ministers, and he must also have someone who can compete with the Mongolian aristocratic group that Concubine Wu Liangha left for her son. Han nobles. If possible, it would be best to introduce one or two more powerful wife clans... This way, a large group of nobles from different origins can surround him, and King Xin Zhu Cixuan's power base can be solid.
But after some arrangements, Zhu Cixuan's Xinfan became Xinguo!
"Of course I don't object," Concubine Wu Liangha frowned slightly, "It's just..."
"Just what?" Zhu Youjian looked at the imperial concubine, "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that Brother Xin's vassals are too prosperous and there are too many military households and civilian households under his jurisdiction. In the future, he will be too big..."
Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "Don't worry, the emperor's nephew has the air of an elder, and he will definitely be able to tolerate brother Xin. Moreover, brother Xin is honest and cannot threaten his brother."
The traitor is so powerful, how can he not be able to deal with dozens of Sai kings? Moreover, Zhu Youjian knew that he had a life expectancy of 90 years. It would be hard to tell whether Brother Xin would still be alive by then, and it would be impossible to "raise troops to quell the troubles"...
Princess Wu Liangha said: "If Your Majesty is relieved, I will have nothing to say."
Zhu Youjian nodded: "There is one more thing... Huang Taiji will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to attack after I go south to Shaanxi. I have already made plans for Yanshan and Liaoxi. Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan can resist Huang Taiji." .So Huang Taiji is very likely to use his troops to attack Monan Mongolia. Concubine...can you beat Huang Taiji?"
Concubine Wu Liangha shook her head and said: "I am not sure of winning in the field battle...but Guihua and Jining are strong cities with sufficient reserves, so they can be defended."
"Where is the Jinlianchuan Grassland?" Zhu You asked, "I still plan to hold the Kulitai Conference there. I can't let Huang Taiji snatch it away!"
"Then stick to the Kaiping Palace..." said the noble concubine Wu Liangha. "Long live the Lord, you can recruit the second concubine Zhong Muna and the fourth concubine Batma Hong to serve by your side. In this way, I can command three thousand households. Orduo's troops are fighting against the slave thieves in Kaiping Palace City!"
"I will take Su Tai away and let Siqintu come to your account to serve you..." Zhu Youjian said, "Fifty thousand households in Orduo will be under your command. In addition, I will transfer Wu Sangui A regiment of soldiers entered Kaiping City, and there is an artillery battalion in Kaiping City, which should be able to hold it."
"Then there is nothing to be afraid of," Concubine Wu Liangha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "When the old soldiers of Huang Taiji's army are exhausted, I will lead 30,000 troops to fight him in a decisive battle!"
This girl is really stupid and bold. How else could Zhu Youjian be captured alive? If it weren't for the amazing defense of Tuocheng during the last battle of Tuocheng, Hauge would have captured him again!
And Huang Taiji is better than Hauge! If he really wants to go to the Monan Grassland, where can he be defeated so easily?
"No!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "Huang Taiji is a poor man who jumps over the wall in a hurry. Don't fight with him...just force him to run out of food."
It's not that Zhu Youjian is afraid of a decisive battle with Huang Taiji, but "not giving Huang Taiji food to eat" is the treacherous trick, and it can't be wrong!
"I know," Wu Liangha said, "when the time comes, I will send people to burn the grassland, so that Huang Taiji's cattle, sheep and horses will have no grass to eat!"
Zhu Youjian nodded, "Also...it's not easy for Huang Taiji to hold it in for once. We have to make good use of it."
"How to use it?" Wu Liangha asked, "Should we take the opportunity to hold a Kuritai conference?"
Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "It's not urgent... It's only interesting if it can't be opened. So what if it is opened? I want to take advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Huang Taiji to retire and give Brother Xin Let’s talk about some good relationships!”
"Who are you proposing to marry?" Concubine Wu Liangha was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Xin!" Zhu Youjian said, "The first male is to be married, the first female is to be married... He is already two years old, shouldn't we start talking about this? I'm still waiting to have a grandson. !”
Concubine Wuliangha opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment - you know Brother Xin is only two years old! How to get a wife at the age of two? Besides, even if a two-year-old baby marries a wife, there is no way to consummate the marriage! If you want to be a grandfather, you have to wait...at least until you are in your thirties!
Zhu Youjian looked at the surprised Wu Liangha and said to himself: I was very powerful back then. I had more than a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren... and most of my descendants were very promising. Brother, you have to work hard!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian said to Wu Liangha again: "My dear concubine, you have to find a way to make Brother Xin the son-in-law of the chiefs of the Khalkha, Ordos, and Tumut tribes... If If you can get in touch, it's best to marry a Fujin from Mongolia! Multiple Fujins will give you more backers, and you can also get some subordinates. It will be easier for Brother Xin to develop westward in the future.
Brother Xin has a distinguished bloodline and is the son of a direct marriage between the Yuan and Ming dynasties. He will not disgrace the daughters of those Mongolian chiefs, and I am not afraid of spending more money! "
