Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 705 The 72 Leagues of the Grassland is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his title is Naren Khan!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Heavy drums sounded above the grassland.

The sound of rumbling drums accompanied by the sound of melodious and desolate horns wakes up the Chahar Grassland in winter. On the snow-covered grassland, teams of riders are galloping on horseback, and flags are fluttering in the wind.

This is a rare good weather on the grassland. As the wind and snow stopped, the sun shone on the grassland through layers of fog, and the ice and snow melted slightly, reflecting crystal clear colors.

At the foot of Saihan Mountain, the camps are connected to each other to form several large camps. The banner of the Ming army is planted on the camps, announcing who the owner of this grassland is.

When the sun came to the center and Gao Juzheng Kong shone the light down, Nayan from all the tribes of the grassland dressed in costumes and lined up on Mount Saihan.

A famous soldier of the Ming Dynasty wore a distinctive iron armor, with his left hand holding his waist sword and his right hand holding the sun and moon banner, with a solemn expression, extending from the foot of Saihan Mountain to the top of the mountain.

Under the watchful eyes of these Ming soldiers, the Nayans from various Mongolian tribes climbed up Saihan Mountain step by step and reached the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain that has already been repaired, a round platform stands tall. On the round platform stands a three-legged tripod. Under the tripod is a dragon chair. I can't see his expression clearly.

On both sides of Zhu Youxiao, the civil and military officials who accompanied him stood quietly in uniforms, holding jade wats in their hands, waiting for the audience of Nayan, the Mongolian ministries.

The people who lead the bow in the grassland will only submit to the powerful Central Plains dynasty, and it is even rarer to see Zhu Youxiao accepting the surrender of the grassland people on the grassland like this.

This not only represents the prosperity of the Central Plains dynasty today, but also reflects the confidence of the court.

A gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the emperor?
In today's Ming Dynasty, the country is strong and the people are rich, and the soldiers are brave. One Han can be ten Hu, and a thousand cavalry can fight ten thousand enemies. Under such absolute force suppression, the confidence of the imperial court and the emperor's self-confidence have been created.

Nayan from the Ordos tribe, Nayan from the Horqin tribe, as well as Nayan from the Khalkha tribes and the leaders of the tribes on the grassland came to the top of the mountain and looked at Zhu Youxiao and the big tripod at the end of the long red carpet, A group of prairie leaders stepped forward, pressed their right hands to their hearts and bent down, showing their respect to the Ming emperor with the etiquette of prairie people.

The previous record of the Ming army on the grassland, the disintegration of the Tatar tribe, and the disastrous defeat of Liaodong Huangtaiji are enough to prove the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty. The defeat of [-] warriors by the Ming army with [-] iron cavalry a few days ago is even more impressive to the leaders of the grassland tribes. How strong is the military power of the Central Plains Dynasty?

It was the scene of a strong man in the Han Dynasty when the Huns lost Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain for eight hundred miles, and made the Huns cry, "If I lose Qilian Mountain, my animals will not live; if I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my women will have no color" , It is to seal the wolves to live in Xu, make the banners of the Han family shelter the whole world, and even shout out the courage of "those who openly offend our strong Han will be punished even though they are far away".

That was the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty when three thousand iron cavalry stormed Yinshan Mountain in the snow, and captured Jieli Khan in the first battle to destroy the Eastern Turks. The heyday of all nations coming to Korea.

The sun and the moon are shining, Weitian has the Han, Zhaozhao has the Tang, and the sky serves all nations.

The once powerful Tang Dynasty was a lingering shadow over the heads of foreign races in all directions, which was the pride and backbone of the civilization of the Central Plains.

Today, a more powerful Central Plains dynasty has emerged. The founding ancestor Taizu commoner started to restore the land of China, and reopened the Han Dynasty with the sun and the moon;

This dynasty has experienced all kinds of tribulations, so that the country is facing danger, and the prosperity has taken a turn for the worse, but this dynasty is not the Song Dynasty after all, and it will not travel south in clothes.

Now this dynasty has regained its vitality, with a new emperor, a new center, and a new beginning.

Not to mention the complicated moods of Nayan from the various tribes of the grassland, but the civil and military officials standing solemnly and quietly on both sides, these self-proclaimed clean, loyal and honorable people, all kinds of feelings in their hearts are only their own. Got it.

Just when Nayan of the various ministries was about to speak, a knight hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty! General Cao and General Zhou destroyed the Aso tribe and captured Nayan Qierza and tens of thousands of women and children of the Aso tribe alive. .”

As soon as this battle report came out, not to mention the honorable officials, the heads of all the ministries in the grassland were shocked when they heard it.

The term “destroy” is not commonly used. It is used to indicate that the tribe or faction has no chance of turning around. It has been beaten and lost its last bit of strength. It has either perished or been reduced to fish.

Look at what this knight reported, tens of thousands of Nayan and starting women and children were captured alive. What about the men from the Aso tribe?

Where did the man from the Aso department go?

Everyone had a clear understanding in their hearts that the men of the Aso Department were buried in the ice and snow together with the future of the Aso Department. These Nayan leaders could even imagine that scene: the iron cavalry general of the Ming Army, the Aso Department Surrounded by crowds, the old and the weak, all the men were killed, leaving only women and children who were not as tall as the wheels. Nayan Qierza of the Aso tribe led the remaining warriors to fight back, but was overwhelmed by the flood of Daming cavalry.

A powerful tribe with [-] to [-] cavalry died just like that, which made all the Mongolian leaders shiver. At the foot of Saihan Mountain, there are countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Where are General Cao and General Zhou?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

The messenger knight said: "Return to Your Majesty, General Cao and General Zhou are at the foot of the mountain with Nayan from the Aso department."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Xuan."

Wang Tiqian immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan, Marquis Dingyuan, Uncle Weiyuan see you!"

The big Han generals on both sides began to shout, and then the soldiers on both sides of the mountain road, one by one, passed on the will to the downhill.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji took Nayan Qierza of the Aso tribe who was covered in blood and a mess, and the big banner of the Aso tribe to Mount Saihan: "Your Majesty, the ministers have destroyed the Aso tribe and captured Nayan of the Aso tribe." Make a big deal with Asobu."

Looking at the big banner of Asobu on the ground and the messy Asobu Nayan, the expressions of each tribe in the grassland are different, while the civil servants and generals of Ming Dynasty looked at the Asobu Nayan who looked like a clown with contemptuous eyes. Nayan Qierzha, thinking that this guy dared to bring tens of thousands of people to launch a surprise attack before, causing them, the pillars of the country, to be frightened, now feels extremely happy.

Zhu Youxiao's expression was very calm, and it was nothing rare to capture an Asobu Nayan.

Today's Daming is extremely powerful, and he, as the supreme ruler of the world, the emperor in charge of the universe, as long as he wants to, there is nothing he can't do.

"The two lovers have worked hard, so let's use the blood of this Asobu to start this alliance." Zhu Youxiao said.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji picked up Qierzha and escorted him to the front of the round platform, then Zhou Yuji pulled out his sword, winked at Cao Wenzhao, and then cut Qierzha's throat with his sword, letting his blood spill on the round platform above.

Standing in front of the cauldron, Zhu Youxiao looked at the steaming blood that spilled out, held up a golden bowl and said softly: "Since I ascended the throne, every time I think of the great achievements of Taizu and Taizong, I can't help being overwhelmed with emotion." Thousands. The grandparents are heroic, they have become the hegemony of the ages, and they will determine the rise and fall of the ages. It makes people yearn for it, and sighs how difficult the current situation is."

"When I first ascended to the Great Treasure, the country was weak, the world was in turmoil, the border was suffering from civil strife, the wind and rain were blowing, the Liaodong Jurchen invaded, and the southwest rebellion spread. Looking at this great mountain and river, it is full of wolf smoke."

"Fortunately, the loyal ministers and good generals have devoted themselves to helping me restore the rivers and mountains, cultivate political principles internally, and calm border troubles externally. Only then can I have the strong and prosperous Ming Dynasty today."

"However, after several years of fighting, although the border troubles have subsided, the blood of all ethnic groups and the loss of life, I heard that it is also heartbreaking."

"I often hear that one should not be brave and fierce. The Son of Heaven should tell the world with benevolence and righteousness, use the situation to resolve the hostility, show favor to the world, and quell disputes."

"Therefore, with benevolent government, I will calm the inside and outside, rest with the people, and finally usher in a peaceful world, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Nayan of the grassland ministries: "Swords are easy to raise, but ravines are hard to level. Today, I will meet with Nayan of the grassland ministries to fight the Khan Mountain. The first is to settle the dispute. I hope that everyone will not fight again and make brothers bleed." Relatives shed tears, and the second is to form alliances and friendship with everyone, and help each other."

"I hope that in the future, there will be no swordsmen in the world, and we will be like a family inside and outside the customs, and we will be brothers all over the world."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Nayan of the Ordos Department and Nayan of the Horqin Department hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness are as broad as the sea, and your majesty's kindness and dew are as warm as the sun."

"All the ministries in the grassland are willing to obey the emperor's will, and they will be like a family inside and outside the pass, and will not fight again."

"At the same time, the 72nd Department of the Grassland is willing to give His Majesty the Ming Emperor the title of Naren Khan!"

Nayan chiefs from all ministries behind shouted together: "Naren Khan!"

Naren, which means the sun in Mongolian, is a comparison of Zhu Youxiao to the sun hanging high in the sky, shining on the world.

Zhu Youxiao, who has been popularized in simple Mongolian, naturally knows what this means. The Mongolian ministries compare themselves to the sun!This is really comparable to Tang Taizong!

At this time, the sun was hanging high and moved to the main palace. The big sun in the sky sprinkled golden light on the Saihan Mountain, reflecting the land.

With a satisfied smile on Zhu Youxiao's face, he stretched out his hand and raised it up, signaling the ministries to stand up: "I accept your honorary title, and hope that there will be no more disputes inside and outside the Great Wall."

With the end of the alliance, the grassland ministries really fell into a sea of ​​joy.

At the foot of Saihan Mountain, the Ming Dynasty and the grassland ministries held a banquet that lasted for several days.

The sons of various tribes in the prairie fought bravely to show their bravery, while the girls in the prairie danced passionately. Everyone celebrated the success of the alliance and the cessation of the war in their own way.

No one wants to continue fighting. If they can live a good life, who would like to lick blood on the edge of a knife?
Now Daming has proved that he has the ability to lead everyone to live a life full of food and clothing. As long as he can eat and wear warmth, no matter how brave and sturdy the grassland boy is, he is not willing to knock his head on the Great Wall to touch porcelain.

The celebratory dance and the enthusiasm of the girls on the grassland not only attracted the young men from various ministries, but also attracted the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have strong and bright armor and excellent weapons. They eat three meals a day and wear warm clothes. The day-to-day training makes them have a strong body. Whether it is height or physique, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty There are no opponents in this era.

After all, not everyone is full, and not all grassland warriors can eat meat. Those Mongolian warriors with big arms and waists are only a minority nowadays, otherwise they would not be called warriors.

In addition to the equestrian, wrestling, archery and other walking aids performed by the various ministries of the grassland, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also performed horseback riding, archery, fighting and other events. .

Speaking of this polo competition, it was also the result of Zhang Haogu's whim.

After all, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has often held grand polo tournaments in order to train more knights. Such horse games cannot be participated by those who are not proficient in equestrianism, and the polo tournaments that were promoted throughout the country during the Han and Tang Dynasties were not only circulated among the rich and powerful. Cultivating honorable bloodlines between them became popular among the army and common people, and became a color of martial arts in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, polo was also an extremely important event. It was not only held in the palace, but also very popular in the army in the early Ming Dynasty.

Although after Baozong, with the relaxation of the Ming Dynasty's armaments, lack of food and military equipment, and a large number of horse farms and pastures being embezzled by the powerful, the Ming Dynasty once lacked war horses and polo activities gradually decreased, but now with Zhu Youxiao ascending the throne, the army's food and Sufficient, well-armed, and more and more horses, the sport of polo naturally became popular again.

Now this polo competition is also to let Prairie Erlang experience Han Jiaerlang's riding style.

The exciting polo is full of danger and violent aesthetics. It can not only arouse the courage of the men, but also the girls are fascinated by it. Those boys who are galloping on the field and swinging the club are so heroic. , admirable.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the scene where the two sides hit the ball alternately, and couldn't help but eager to try: "Okay, these soldiers are really brave."

Zhang Haogu looked at this polo game, but he was thinking about the longer term. Why did he wait for the Westerners to hold the Olympus?

The Ming Dynasty can definitely lead the eastern countries to hold a grand sports event in the Eastern Chinese Civilization Circle. Cuju, stepping, wrestling, archery, javelin, polo, horse racing, etc. are not all competitions.

Including Dongyi, North Korea, the grassland ministries, Nanyang countries and even Western countries, it will be held every few years, and it will be held in Daming. It will also let these countries see how strong Ming is and how much it changes every year. This is another way to spread the majesty of Ming Dynasty to all directions.

Zhu Youxiao thought about participating in polo a few times in person after returning home, while Zhang Haogu thought about how to hold a sports event in the oriental cultural circle. Not too much attention.

Waiting for the night to fall, piles of bonfires were lit, and the girls seemed even more enthusiastic. They twisted their bodies and swayed their limbs beside the bonfires, not only looking at the dumbfounded boys on the grassland, but also showing the eyes of the civil and military nobles of Ming Dynasty. I can't take my eyes off it. Although this thing is degrading, but if you look closely, it still has an exotic flavor.
Not to mention them, Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he saw it: "Master, I never thought that apart from the women from the Western Regions, the women on this grassland are also so hot and enthusiastic."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Earlier, the ministries of the prairie asked me what they wanted to perform for His Majesty. I said that the ministries of the prairie are good at singing and dancing. Why not show the friendship and harmony between the two sides by presenting songs and dances. I didn't expect that this grassland Can sing and dance well, that's what it looks like."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu with a strange look: "Master, you are busy with government affairs all day long, working day and night. You have never seen you take a concubine or go to the land of flowers and willows. I thought that Master is a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply?"

Zhang Haogu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have never been an upright gentleman, but I have never been obsessed with women. It is nothing more than seeing these girls in their prime years, youthful and energetic, who can show themselves to the fullest and serve them. Just happy."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "Master, if you really like this mouth, you can choose as many as you want. If the imperial sister knows, I don't need to tell Qiqi. Why?"

Zhang Haogu waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, the minister and his wife love each other as much as one, and have never planned to take a concubine, not to mention that the minister is also a father now, so he should be cautious."

Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao talked and laughed happily here, and the civil and military officials and the ministries of the grassland also had their own circles of chatting and laughing, drinking and eating meat, everyone in the whole banquet was extremely happy, and the atmosphere was very lively and harmonious
After the dinner, Zhu Youxiao stayed in the big tent and invited Zhang Haogu to come and sleep.

The charcoal fire was burning in the big tent, Wang Tiqian and Eunuch Wei were waiting beside, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu soaked their feet in a wooden bucket of hot water, looking leisurely and comfortable.

Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes and leaned on the bed, and suddenly said: "Master, what do you think it was like when Yingzong lived outside the Great Wall?"

Zhang Haogu couldn't help laughing and said: "Presumably, sorrow, happiness and remorse are mixed together, right?"

Zhu Youxiao asked: "What sorrow and joy, what regrets and hatred?"

Zhang Haogu was also not polite: "The sad thing is probably that he lost his face as an emperor but was captured by the Oirats. The happy one is that the Oirats have more courtesy and don't die outside the Great Wall? As for the regret, it is probably that he regrets leaving the army easily, and regrets going his own way. Do you hate the appointment because you hate that there is no civil and military man in the court to save him?"

Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes and raised his feet. Wang Tiqian immediately stepped forward to wipe Zhu Youxiao's feet, and Eunuch Wei also served hot tea. Zhu Youxiao took a sip of the tea and said, "Yingzong, Yingzong , Yingzong. He made an appointment with this idea, but he also deserves to be sad and hated. With such an ancestor, I feel deeply humiliated."

"Da Mingzi, instead of dying in Sheji, was captured by Wala and called his own city gate. It's really embarrassing!"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Fortunately, His Majesty swept Monan, wiped away the shame of the past, and regained the glory of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youxiao also laughed and said: "In the past ten years, I have attacked Liaodong, swept Monan, destroyed Annan, recuperated, and the people are rich and happy, comparable to Tang Zong and Han Wu."
