After coming out of the Shu Palace, Zhu Youxiao could no longer hide the joy in his heart. When he was far away, he laughed loudly and wantonly.
Ma Xianglin on the side was confused, but for the emperor to be so happy, he knew it must be a good thing, so he also giggled.
This is a huge sum of money. You must know that not counting the additional levy of Liao Xiang, the court's annual tax revenue is only about 6 million taels of silver.
The food supply is incomparable. The imperial court can collect 10 million to 20 million dan a year, and these 600,000 dan are just a fraction.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, the King of Shu is really rich and powerful, he paid all the money and food in just one day.
When King Jin was forced to pay so much money and food, King Jin had a hard time collecting it all.
For that son of his, he really spent all his family wealth.
Unlike the Shu vassal, the Jin vassal had a good geographical location and received special preferential treatment. Compared with the fertile land in Sichuan, compared with the areas in Shanxi that were hit by disasters from time to time, the Jin vassal could really be said to be a land of abundance.
After returning to the military camp, before Zhu Youxiao could celebrate today's happy event, a Tiqi from Fusi in Beizhen came to report to him with the warrants of several left-behind prime ministers.
During the past few months of his southern expedition, the wild boar skins outside the customs were not idle, and they were very active in causing trouble.
However, because the emperor was not in the capital, the remaining prime ministers did not dare to make any independent decisions regarding the war. They strictly ordered all ministries to stay put and drafted a memorial as soon as possible and sent horses south to report to the emperor.
After reading it, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath. This old slave is really not easy to worry about.
He originally thought that Jiannu had suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses in strength and population, so there would be no big moves in recent years.
It's a pity that he once again underestimated the wild boar skin, this gambler and careerist who once wiped out the entire army of the northern elite of the Ming Dynasty and established a political power.
I have to say that Boar Skin still has a bit of vision and sense of smell, and he is also good at seizing opportunities on his own.
When he learned that Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, was patrolling the south with soldiers and horses from Beijing, Nuerhachi burst out laughing and called God to help me.
In his opinion, the little emperor is still too young. He thinks that after winning a few battles, the world will be at peace? Will you surrender to him?
Several consecutive defeats made the old slave, who had always been extremely shrewd, fall into reflection. During this period of time, he was always wondering why the Ming court and the Ming army had undergone such huge changes.
For this reason, he also sent his confidants to Beijing for the first time to investigate, trying to find out what kind of person the newly succeeded young emperor was.
When looking through the information, Nuerhachi's psychological thoughts were extremely complicated.
Judging from the things the young emperor has done since he ascended the throne, he must be an emperor who wants to make a difference, and unlike those emperors before the Ming Dynasty, who were afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, they were extremely ruthless in doing things.
He was even worried that the Ming Dynasty would produce such a young and talented emperor, and he was already over fifty years old.
He can't take advantage yet. When he dies in the future, will his sons be his opponents? Will Daikin still exist?
But judging from his current tour to the south, this little emperor is just a man who enjoys great achievements. He is proud of himself even with a little achievement. He is really a young boy.
So he gathered the soldiers and horses of Zhenghuang Banner and the two red flags, contacted Kerxin and sent troops together to attack Lin Danhan in Monan again.
Lin Danhan is a soft persimmon now, and he is also the kind of soft persimmon who has riots and chaos at home.
Among all the forces, he is the weakest. Naturally, everyone wants to bully him. Naturally, Lao Nu will not give up this opportunity to attack him.
Lin Dan Khan's strength was not as strong as before, and he did not dare to face the coalition forces of Lao Nu and Horqin tribe again. The entire northern part of Monan was empty. Lin Dan Khan had already withdrawn the tribes there to the south.
Lao Nu led tens of thousands of coalition troops all the way south, approaching Lin Dan Khan's capital Chahanhot, vowing to destroy Lin Dan Khan in one battle.
Lin Danhan retreated again and again, originally thinking that by giving up hundreds of miles of grassland, they would return without success, but he did not expect that it would only encourage the opponent's military strength and arrogance.
As the Great Khan of Mongolia, he also had his own arrogance, so he sent his most trusted Tuolihai to lead a cavalry team of 5,000 people from his tribe to fight against the coalition's vanguard, hoping to regain confidence. Change the situation.
Needless to say, the result was that the Chahar tribe, which suffered successive defeats, had no military morale at all. As soon as they came into contact, they were defeated by the slave-building Eight Banners soldiers and fled in all directions.
Lin Danhan saw that his side was helpless, so he fled westward in panic with his cronies.
They ran to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, to the east of the Tumote tribe, before stopping their escape.
In this western expedition to Lin Dan Khan, it can be said that Lao Nu obtained huge benefits without any effort. Not only did he expand the territory of Dajin, but he also captured countless cattle, sheep and horses.
The most important thing is that he obtained the population resources and labor force that are now in urgent need, and further strengthened his relationship with the Horqin Ministry, which suddenly relieved the great conflict pressure.
At the same time, Lao Nu also dispatched his four-beile Huang Taiji to lead the soldiers and horses of Zhengbai Banner to conquer Mao Wenlong's troops entrenched by the Yalu River again.
After several months of development and growth, and with the full support of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, Mao Wenlong's strength is no longer what it was before, and it can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds.
When he learned that Jiannu's bannermen were approaching him in mighty force, Mao Wenlong did not back down this time, but chose to fight head-on.
He first reported the news to Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli, and then took his 5,000 elite troops out of Pi Island by boat and stationed troops in Zhenjiang.
Huang Taiji divided his only 7,000 troops into two groups, with 4,000 troops on each side, personally led by him, and crossed the river directly into the hinterland of North Korea to plunder money, food and people.
The other three thousand people were used as suspected soldiers to attract the attention of Mao Wenlong and the rest of the Ming army, so that he would have sufficient time and safe space to attack North Korea.
He didn't want to fight Mao Wenlong at all, and he even disapproved of sending troops this time. It was just the old slave's order that forced him to do so.
For more than half a month, Mao Wenlong only had a small encounter with Jian Nu, and beheaded more than thirty heads.
After this battle, let alone fighting, he didn't even see any sign of Jiannu, which made Mao Wenlong depressed for several days. Could it be that Jiannu had changed his gender?
By the time he realized that something was wrong, Huang Taiji had already robbed a lot of money in North Korea, and returned to Hetuala without stopping with a large amount of money, food and supplies.
Such a good opportunity but no meritorious achievements were made. Mao Wenlong was so angry that he cursed and greeted all the eighteen generations of the old slave's ancestors.
But Jiannu had already left, and he had no choice but to lead his army back to Pi Island and continue to train troops and generals, waiting for the next opportunity to make achievements.
