"Wow, it really lives up to its reputation!"
Standing outside the city, I saw the tall city walls and the countless people coming in and out of the city gate, including men, women, old and young, merchants and scholars, all kinds of people. Seeing them dressed in gorgeous clothes, Babu, the son of the Chechen Khan, was stunned. Unable to recognize the exclamation.
The Chechen subordinates and representatives of the other two tribes who accompanied him also agreed and stood there sighing.
Fang Yizhi, who was going to announce the decree to the three tribes in Mobei, was riding a horse and walking in front. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw that those people were standing there talking. Although I couldn't understand him, I could guess something from his expression.
Seeing him turn his head, Gulusi Qibu, who was standing next to him, quickly came over and translated for him: "Sir, they were shocked by the prosperity of the capital!"
This is just outside the city, are you shocked? Fang Yizhi thought to himself, feeling a little surprised, but then he felt relieved when he thought that these people were from Mobei where they were the only ones who were so poor.
So, he didn't care and continued to move forward.
Sure enough, when they entered the city, they saw wide streets, countless shops on both sides, a dazzling array of goods, and more people. Babu and others suddenly felt a little breathless: How could there be such a prosperous place in the world?
Since entering the city, their eyes have been looking at everything on the street, and they can't take care of it at all. They wish they didn't have more eyes to see.
Gulu Siqibu can best understand the feelings of these Mobei people, because even he was shocked by the prosperity of the capital when he first came to the capital. This was one of the reasons why he finally settled down to be a wealthy earl in the capital.
But at this time, he looked around and was shocked. Because he could tell that the common people, merchants, etc. on the street seemed to have more smiles on their faces than before they left, as if everyone was very happy.
Gulu Siqibu didn't think that he felt this way because he had been away from the capital for so long and had seen a lot of the desolation of Mobei. The herders there had droopy faces. Although it did happen, he was sure that something must have happened.
He was thinking about it when suddenly, Fang Yizhi in front of him stopped and was talking to someone.
"Brother Fang is back, thank you for running so far!"
"Doing errands for the emperor, there is no hard work or not, it's all due!" Fang Yizhi disagreed. He was also a little strange. He felt that it was different from when he left, so he asked again: "Brother Song , is there anything good? Why do you feel that everyone is so happy!"
"There are many good things! After Brother Fang left, oh, by the way, the emperor's personal expedition has wiped out all the captives in Liaodong and restored the entire Liaodong!"
"Ah, is it really possible?" Fang Yizhi couldn't help but said in surprise after hearing this, "Is it really true that all the Jianlu who have been vicious for decades were wiped out by the emperor?"
"How can this be false? Although those Jianlu were ferocious, but the emperor personally led the expedition, they all fled after hearing the news. However, they were all wiped out by the emperor's ingenious plan. Not a single Jianlu, big or small, escaped! Now Governor Ji Liao is here To restore the people's livelihood in Liaodong, the court will provide grain fields to those who are willing to move to Liaodong. You will know this later."
"Yes, yes, the emperor's fighting ability is unrivaled!" Fang Yizhi sighed happily. When he was still about to speak, he heard the man say to him: "When you left, it wasn't the emperor who awarded you Do you want to borrow food from everyone in the capital? Now the food from the south has been transported to the capital. Originally, everyone in the capital said there was no need to pay back the food. However, the emperor heard about this after returning to the capital a few days ago, but insisted on paying it back. The food will be repaid as agreed in advance, plus bank interest. No, it’s almost enough! Everyone is naturally happy!"
"That's natural. When did the Emperor ever speak with caution?" Fang Yizhi heard this and immediately nodded in praise, "The Holy Emperor is on the throne, what a blessing to the people!"
The two of them chatted for a while, and even talked about good people being rewarded. Then because they still had the emperor's life, they didn't dare to talk more, and they said goodbye and left.
During this process, Gulusi Qibu, who was listening on the side, was speechless for a long time. He is very clear about Jianlu's power. I think back then, the whole of Mongolia surrendered to the Jianlu. Outside the pass and inside the pass, the Jianlu were galloping freely, sweeping the world, and no one dared to be an enemy. However, after all the calculations, just a few years later, the emperor was personally conquered and destroyed!
The emperor is so powerful!
He was thinking that Babu beside him had come to his senses. He was a little curious about what the Ming envoy was talking about, so he asked him in Mongolian.
After hearing this, Gulusi Qibu turned to look at him. Suddenly some pride welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he immediately answered him: "The emperor has wiped out all the rebels, liberated the entire Liaodong, and just returned to Beijing with his troops not long ago."
When Babu heard this, he was stunned.
Before coming to the capital with the Ming envoy, his father Khan Shuolei had a chat with him. Although judging from the situation, the Ming Kingdom should have become stronger, they did not think that it was once so powerful that it forced all three tribes in Mobei to surrender. The Qing Dynasty would be so easily wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. After all, only a few years have passed, and the soldiers of the Qing Kingdom are still the same soldiers as before; the generals of the Qing Kingdom are still the same generals as before; and the Prince Baylor of the Qing Kingdom is still the former Prince Baylor. It can be seen that no matter how good the Qing Dynasty is, at least it does not have the same combat power as before. Even if the Ming army becomes stronger, there will definitely be a fight between the two countries. He came to Mobei to xuanfu, most likely just to win the support of the three tribes in Mobei.
However, what I heard now was that the Qing Dynasty had been annihilated by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It had to be said that this news shocked him even more than the bustling streets of the capital. So much so that Gruschibu urged him several times to follow him before he came back to his senses and kept up, while still feeling lost.
The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, and many of the explanations given by the father Khan are unrealistic. For a moment, Babu didn't know how to deal with it!
Seeing his devastated look, other people were also curious and asked him one after another. Then, naturally, they were like him, what else could they do besides being shocked?
However, before they reached the inn, they just turned the corner and heard quite a noise coming from the original street.
Fang Yizhi also heard it, and it seemed to be cheers. He was very interested in this, so he reined in his horse and stopped, turned around and listened.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Well done, awesome!"
"..."
Hearing this news, he felt like he was back when the good news came. However, hadn't the Jianlu been wiped out now? Why was there another good news?
Fang Yizhi was a little confused. At this time, the sound of a fast horse was heard. He was very close. At the same time, he naturally heard the sound of victory: "...all three hundred warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy" We destroyed thousands of Japanese warships, and now we have cut off the retreat of 150,000 Japanese troops. A great victory! The Ming Dynasty Navy..."
Hearing this, Fang Yizhi couldn't help but wonder, when did the Japanese army become enemies of the Ming Dynasty again?
Of course he didn't know yet, so he was confused. But he just wondered for a while, and he was relieved. Regardless of whether the Japanese army was an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, they were just here to show off their military merits and to give the warriors an advantage. No, the retreat of the 150,000 Japanese troops was cut off by the navy! He also defeated the Japanese Navy, which had several times its strength!
The more you win, the stronger your natural resistance will be. When Fang Yizhi heard the news of the victory, although he was happy in his heart, he was not overly happy and continued on his way.
But people like Gruschibu and Babu were shocked again after hearing the good news.
Originally, Babu didn't know what the Japanese army was about, but Gulusi Qibu naturally wanted to know more than those in Mobei. He also knew that during the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country fought a war. Conceptual. Not to mention, for the number of thousands of warships and 150,000 Japanese troops, they naturally understood that the scale of this war was rare.
Therefore, he was quite shocked by this good news. After telling Babu and others, it was a great shock to these Mobei Mongolians. As a result, these Mongolians in Mobei had not yet recovered from the continuous shocks until they settled down in the post house.
After they came to their senses, Babu immediately summoned representatives of the other two tribes and held an emergency closed-door consultation meeting.
At this meeting, they were all shocked by the different power of Ming Dynasty in the past, and decided to change their words so as not to anger the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you should lower your posture, lower it. Even if the Ming Emperor wants to save face, there is no problem. However, the vital interests of the three tribes in Mobei, especially the interests of the nobles among the three tribes, must be protected.
At the end of the meeting, Babu concluded: "Everyone, the Central Plains Dynasty has been doing things to save face since ancient times. It is not as practical as our grassland. Therefore, you remember to say more good things, so that they like to hear it. Yes, but the final bottom line must be maintained.”
Others naturally agree with this. Face is nothing. Compared with the actual benefits, face is completely unnecessary.
As a result, the three tribes in Mobei began to prepare. However, in their opinion, the Ming Emperor had just won a great victory and wiped out the powerful Qing Dynasty. This should be a time for him to be energetic and arrogant. Maybe he would let them hang out for a while and dampen their spirits. Only when they were tired of waiting would the Ming Emperor summon them.
This move seems to have a name, play hard to get!
However, Babu and others never expected that they would receive a notice the next day as soon as their application forms were submitted, telling them to meet in person the next day.
They were very surprised about this. Why was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty so anxious? Could there be something wrong with him? In fact, there was not that much victory at all, so he just wanted to get the tens of thousands of cavalry in Mobei?
With doubts, they went to the palace to meet him the next day.
