First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 603
These two jade claws are all tamed and completed. After punching, running rope, and shafting, they can understand people's yelling. If they are taken out for hunting, they can catch swans, wild ducks, foxes, gulls, ptarmigans, Rabbits, roe deer, fish and shrimp and other sea and land animals.

In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Haidongqing was already a precious tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty in the Mohe Dynasty of Jurchen ancestors. There was even such a regulation in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties: Anyone who violated the criminal law and was exiled to Liaodong, who can catch Haidongqing and present it When you come up, you can redeem your sins and pass on the post.

That's just an ordinary Haidongqing, these two good-looking jade claws Haidongqing don't say atonement, even if they rely on this to turn around and find a prince, there is hope. Ask for Haidongqing, and every time the envoy goes to his clan, he will forcefully ask for a pillow recommendation.

This also aroused the resentment of the Jurchens. Under the leadership of Aguda, the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan Tribe, they gathered all the soldiers of the Jurchen, and created the reputation of the Jurchen as dissatisfied and invincible, and established the Kingdom of Jin.

Of course, Zhu Biao scoffed at the so-called invincibility. The Jurchens who just came out of the deep mountains, old forests, black mountains and white waters of Liaodong were really good at fighting. It took only 11 years to destroy the country that had been established for more than [-] years. The Khitan people, and then wiped out the Northern Song Dynasty non-stop.

But apart from the fact that the Jurchen cavalry were really strong, Zhu Biao felt that it was Liao Song's own problem. He underestimated the Jurchen in the early stage and was too fearful in the later stage, which led to the irreparable defeat of internal and external troubles. Their internal problems were greater than the problems of foreign enemies.

Zhu Biao stared at the two jade claws in a daze, Naha's intention to send both of his sons was very clear, it seems that the battle with Li Chenggui in Korea really ruined his ambition to separate Liaodong and dominate the side up.

Then Daming is about to take over Liaodong again, so the Jurchens in Liaodong will be a problem, and Zhu Biao can’t let them go. The poor mountains and rivers have a fierce army. This is the inevitable result of the ecological environment, and the cruel living conditions will be eliminated. Among the weak in their clan, those who can survive are all capable players.

"His Royal Highness, in addition to these two jade claws, Haidongqing, my father also ordered me to offer you 45 pieces of Dongzhu, as well as sturgeon fish gelatin, wild ginseng, Tianshan snow honey, sea pine nuts..."

Zhu Biao patted the table lightly and said with a smile: "I have felt the sincerity of your father. I believe the Holy Majesty will be delighted when he finds out. After all, we have been friends for many years."

Chahan bowed first and replied: "A little thought is not worth mentioning, it will be like this every year in the future."

Alatan Ula also bowed and said: "The Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the Goryeo Jurchens are ambitious. We are willing to guard the Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, and we are willing to serve the emperor and prince of the Ming Dynasty loyally and obey orders!"

The smile on Zhu Biao's face didn't change, but the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold. Alatan Ula, who was originally very calm, changed his face, and couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple a few times.

"Haidong Qingshenjun is extraordinary and worthy of the reputation of the god of the eagle. Each oriental pearl is also a treasure that cannot be counted without a clam, and a boat full of clams cannot be filled with a pearl. But these palaces don't look at them. It’s just for entertainment, you guys might have underestimated my appetite too much, right?”

Under Zhu Biao's coercion, Chahan couldn't help turning his eyes to his younger brother. Alatan Ula sighed and took out an atlas from his bosom, holding it over his head and said: "There is one last treasure, the atlas of Liaodong terrain and troops. , please accept the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

As expected, Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and asked Jiang Yu to fetch the album. Just as he said, such things as sea dongqing and winter pearl ginseng are just incidental entertainment. Bringing Liaodong into the Ming Dynasty is the most important thing. What Zhu Biao really wanted desperately.

Taking a deep look at Alatan Ula, Naha should understand his father's thoughts, and he will not have any delusions at this point. It is estimated that this kid is making his own decisions, thinking whether he can muddle through and preserve his own foundation , It can be seen that he is unwilling.

Damn this son, Zhu Biao doesn't like people who play tricks on him in big matters, especially those who are not very smart, presumably Chahan is also happy to see it.

Compared with this person, Zhu Biao prefers Chahan. He has nothing to be afraid of, knowing his own weight, and being content with wealth is the attitude he should have under the fence of others, and it is also the necessary character for living a long time.

When things cannot be violated, it is also a kind of wisdom to be willing to stay away from home. Untimely ambition will ruin everything. It seems that this young man is still favored by Naha too much. He should have intelligence and bravery, but he is covered by his smooth life experience. up.

Jiang Yu took the topographic map and scanned it quickly, then looked at Alatan Ullah, who was kneeling on one knee, with mocking pity in his eyes.

I have been working in the Duwei's Mansion for a long time, and I have been working beside His Highness the Crown Prince for more than a year. His Highness, the outer saint and the inner king, seem to be more benevolent than the current saint, but in fact they are not bad at all.

If this son happily presented the album together with Hai Dongqing, then perhaps there would still be glory and wealth to speak of. After all, Chahan also needs encouragement, but now he is about to lose his life.

Zhu Biao took over the atlas of troops stationed in Liaodong from Jiang Yu. In fact, this atlas was of little use. Liaodong had countless spies, and there were also generals who secretly defected to Ming Dynasty under Naha's command. The symbolic meaning of this atlas was greater than its practical significance.

It has to be said that the timing is still very good. In the current turbulent situation in the south of the Yangtze River, the attachment of such a large territory in Liaodong will undoubtedly increase the prestige of the court and the emperor, especially the northern state capital will be more stable.

Zhu Biao stood up from the chair happily and laughed loudly: "Okay, good! The attachment of Liaodong is good for the world, and it is also beneficial for Liaodong. The Holy One will not be stingy with Juelu. This palace can promise on behalf of the Holy One, but what you ask for will be answered. !"

At this point, Chahan and Alatan Ula could only bow down and thank each other, repeatedly declining the noble titles and official positions that Zhu Biao said.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said: "The surrender of Liaodong is a major event, and the imperial court must make good preparations. The Taiwei should also inform the people of Liaodong that there are many and complicated things here. Why don't you ask the young prince to go again and bring the Taiwei to take care of you?" A personal letter to the palace."

Alatan Ula was obviously unwilling. He came here in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to fully appreciate the prosperity and beauty of the capital, but he didn't dare to shirk when facing the prince, so he could only accept it.

Zhu Biao seemed very excited, and immediately polished the pen and wrote the letter himself, and soon filled several sheets of letter paper. Seeing this, Chahan Alatan Ula felt much more at ease.

Thinking that even if Daming sold horse bones for a thousand catties, he would treat them favorably. After all, there is still King Liang in Yunnan, and Daming should also want to take Yunnan without bloodshed.

After writing the letter, he asked Jiang Yu to seal the wax seal, and then ordered Fuduo to bring out many precious treasures from the vault, some of which were tributes from various countries in Southeast Asia, and asked Alatan Ula to take them away with Naha.

Zhu Biao patted Alatan Ula on the shoulder and said: "The affairs of Liaodong have always been in charge of my palace, and I have worked hard for my little prince Lao. The Holy Majesty's will needs to be discussed with the Ministry of Liaodong and the Ministry of Rites before sending envoys to Liaodong to deliver the decree." ……”

Zhu Biao had the intention to coax people, which was of course beneficial. Alatan Ullah and the few servants behind him were very happy and excited, while Chahan was a little jealous, his expression changed again and again but he couldn't get in.

After giving Alatan Ula a few jars of royal wine, Zhu Biao couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling a few times watching his leaving back, and Jiang Yu, who had been standing with his head bowed, immediately approached him.

Zhu Biao ordered calmly: "After entering the area of ​​Liaodong, let the gathered Koreans and Jurchens do it. You should know who to kill and how many to keep, and don't make any mistakes."

"promise."

Jiang Yu walked away quickly, Zhu Biao turned around and looked at Chahan who was terrified and asked with a smile, "Why, you like your younger brother, don't you want to inherit the family business?"

Chahan knelt on the ground with a thud, Zhu Biao bent slightly and patted his shoulder, trembling with every pat, so funny that he couldn't help but kicked him and said, "I'm helping you, otherwise In the future, what if your father really wants to pass the title to your younger brother? Are you going to give up the garden and lead your wife and children back to Liaodong to herd horses?"
