Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 551 He wishes we could die sooner so we can come back and inherit the throne, right?
Zhu Yunxi opened the Beiyuan Guoshu with great resentment, and his jaw dropped in shock after seeing the content on it.

"What?"

"Bei Yuan changed Khan again?"

Zhang Zongjun was also surprised when he heard this, and hurried up a few steps, and went to Zhu Yunxi's side to watch.

If it was in the capital, Zhang Zongjun wouldn't dare to make such a move even if he had a hundred guts.But who let this be Guihua City, Zhu Yunxi's temporary residence.

Zhu Yunxie's three masters are not there, and he is the only cabinet minister accompanying him. As long as Zhu Yunxie does not speak, no one dares to control him!

"Ugzihashha became Khan?"

Zhang Zongjun was so surprised that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground when he saw this content. He had studied the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and knew that Ugqihashha did not have the qualifications to be a Khan at all, so he supported several puppets one after another.

Otherwise, with the strong soldiers of his Wala clan, can it be someone else's turn to be a Khan?

However, now that something happened to Beiyuan, Ugqihashha actually took the last step, completing a major breakthrough from being a power minister to being a Khan!

"Your Highness, there must be something strange about this matter!"

"Even if Wuge Qihashiha is the strongest in the Beiyuan Khan Court and no one dares to provoke him, he doesn't have the guts to call himself Khan!"

"Because of his background, not only will the grassland tribes not admit it, but they will attack him together!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded upon hearing this.

"Gu also thinks there is a problem with this matter. Now it seems that we still don't pay enough attention to Beiyuan. We should send some people to investigate there..."

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Zongjun looked awkwardly at the special envoy of Bei Yuan who was kneeling below, and then coughed vigorously.

Hearing the voice, Zhu Yunxi quickly realized that he was stupid, how could he mention the matter of installing spies in front of Bei Yuan's special envoy?
"Beiyuan Special Envoy, Ugzihashha really became your Khan?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty, all the tribes of our grassland collectively elected Mr. Ugzihashha as the Khan. Now our 72 grassland tribes, under the leadership of the Destiny Khan, have joined forces with the Western Golden Horde and Chaga Taiwan Khanate, Timur Khanate and more than a dozen countries formed an alliance."

"If Da Ming is unwilling to conclude a peace treaty with my Da Yuan and return it to my Da Yuan herdsmen, my Da Yuan will not be afraid of you!"

Although the special envoy of Beiyuan tried his best to promote the prosperity of Dayuan, Zhu Yunxie and Zhang Zongjun still felt guilty from his tone.

If Bei Yuan was really that powerful, there would be no need to come to sue them for peace.

Moreover, it was stated in the document that as long as Da Ming agreed to Bei Yuan's peace request and did not send troops to attack Bei Yuan, they could even form a brotherly alliance with Da Ming.

However, in Zhu Yunxi's view, even if Daming asked them to become ministers, they would agree without hesitation.

After all, with their national conditions in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they couldn't resist the Ming cavalry at all.

But this is not what I want!

What I want is a clean prairie, not a hungry wolf who has a ulterior motive and will pounce on Daming from time to time!

Zhang Zongjun saw that Zhu Yunxi's face was not good-looking, so he rushed to answer for him first.

"Come here, take the special envoy down to rest first!"

Zhu Yunxie glared at Zhang Zongjun unhappily, resenting him for being troublesome, but he did not stop the guards from taking Bei Yuan's special envoy away.

After the special envoy of Beiyuan was taken away, Zhang Zongjun hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Your Highness, please punish the crime of usurpation!"

"Humph!"

"Now you are a cabinet minister by Gu's side. If Gu punishes your crime, who will work for Gu!"

Zhang Zongjun smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Your Highness calm down, I am just worried that His Highness won't be able to control his anger and say something that shouldn't be said."

Zhu Yunxi threw the Beiyuan Guoshu on the table in depression.

"Old Zhang, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly nodded his head when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, this is a good thing!"

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has made more than a dozen Northern Expeditions, not to completely destroy Bei Yuan, but to make Bei Yuan surrender!"

"Now that Bei Yuan has softened, we only need to add more fire to make Bei Yuan surrender and fulfill His Majesty's long-cherished wish. Wouldn't it be a great thing!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Zongjun in surprise, and asked back with an unhappy face.

"You really think this is a good thing?"

"Although Daming's national strength is now strong, Beiyuan is awed by Daming's majesty and submission. But who can guarantee that Beiyuan will still submit after decades or hundreds of years?"

Zhang Zongjun smiled indifferently when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, your thoughts are too unfounded..."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought hard enough against the Xiongnu, and directly destroyed the Huns. But after the Western Jin Dynasty, why did the grassland tribes abuse the Central Plains again?"

"The Tang Dynasty was very strong in its war against the Turks, but didn't the Uighurs still plunder Chang'an in the late Tang Dynasty, leaving the Guanzhong area empty?"

"The grassland is vast, and the Xiongnu and the Xianbei were beaten away, the Xianbei and the Turks were beaten away, the Turks and the Jurchen were beaten away, and the Jurchen and the Mengyuan were beaten away..."

"Even if His Highness raises millions of troops to completely destroy Beiyuan, but after a hundred years, other grassland tribes will still emerge and plunder our Daming as usual."

"For our Ming Dynasty, instead of thinking about how to destroy Beiyuan, we should think about how to always have absolute power to suppress the grassland, so that they will never dare to rebel or attack me, Ming Dynasty!"

Although Zhu Yunxi did not agree with Zhang Zongjun's words, he had to admit that what he said made sense.

As Zhang Zongjun said, even if the Ming Dynasty beat Beiyuan away, a Manchu Qing would emerge a hundred years later and continue to abuse his people.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a once-and-for-all statement, only continuous high-handed rule, so that it dare not give birth to rebellion.

"Ugh!"

"Gu admits that what you said makes sense, but Gu is still unwilling!"

"Furthermore, the barbarians keep repeating themselves. Who knows when they will rebel again. It will be even more troublesome to toss back and forth. Why don't you subdue them all at once!"

Zhang Zongjun nodded affirmatively.

"Your Highness is right."

"The Hu people are fearful of power but not virtuous. Even if they accept their peace proposal, they must first be defeated on the battlefield."

"Only in this way, we have to make some adjustments to Beiyuan's strategy. We only need to annihilate its main force and make it unable to plunder Daming, instead of combing from east to west as we originally imagined... ..."

Since the strategic plan was to be changed, of course Zhu Yunxi had to call Chang Sheng in to discuss it together.After all, as his second uncle, he has been living in Guihua City for several years, and he is far more familiar with Bei Yuan than he is.

With Chang Sheng joining in, it was much easier for the three of them to discuss.Whenever Zhu Yunxi proposed an idea, Chang Sheng could immediately mark it on the map, and tell the detailed terrain and landforms of the place, and what kind of arms were suitable for combat.

The three of them discussed for a day, and it was not until dark that they roughly determined the future battle plan.

In general, Ming Dynasty will still divide its troops into three groups to attack Beiyuan, but its strength has been reduced by more than half, and many soldiers from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty who surrendered have been filled.

Moreover, in terms of combat methods, the previous annihilation battle was also canceled, and it was changed to only attack Bei Yuan's vital forces, making them completely surrender and accept the alliance under the Ming Dynasty.

As for the complete rule of the grassland, civil and military go hand in hand, suppressing by force while invading culture, changing the customs of the Mongols and Yuan people in terms of pronunciation, writing, and customs, and making them completely Wanghua.

According to Zhu Yunxi's words, in the future northern grasslands, there will only be Mongolians who speak the official language of Ming Dynasty, and there will be no so-called Mongolian Yuan.

Zhang Zongjun highly praised Zhu Yunxi's statement, and believed that it should be written as a national policy, and asked the kings of later generations to implement it from generation to generation.

Just thinking that the grandson of the emperor had no heirs, Zhang Zongjun swallowed back the words that followed.

Although Zhu Yunxi revised his battle plan against Beiyuan, he still did not immediately accept their summation, but flatly rejected it, and put forward a series of harsh conditions.

For example, professing ministers and paying tribute, sending the sons of the leaders of various tribes to study in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, accepting orders from the Ming Dynasty, accepting officials sent by the Ming Dynasty to assist them in governing the country, and so on.

Pick out any one of these conditions at random, and insert them into the Beiyuan lung tube.

However, Zhu Yunxi did not expect them to agree. If they really agreed so happily, then he would save trouble. He would directly send officials to take over and manage the Mobei Grassland, and then use Ming’s powerful and leading economic, cultural, and political systems to slow them down. Slow assimilation, wouldn't it save tens of millions of taels of military expenditure?

After Zhu Yunxi rejected Beiyuan's peace proposal and sent troops to escort Beiyuan's special envoy back to Mobei, he sent a large number of spies to Beiyuan in batches. position, always pay attention to the movements of the major tribes on the grassland.

At the same time, he also ordered Chang Sheng to lead the army to mop up Mobei, and continue to create a deterrent force for Beiyuan, so that they would not dare to cross the desert easily and invade the Hetao and Monan areas that are recuperating.

After Zhu Yunxi was busy with all this, he began to calmly dispatch troops and generals, putting aside whether to fight or not, but first put on a posture that he was not afraid of fighting.

Palace of Qianqing in the Forbidden City.

Lao Zhu sat lazily on the dragon chair, reviewing the memorial prepared by the cabinet, and then put a red seal on it listlessly.

Although handling state affairs in this way, he lost a lot of sense of participation.But compared to the previous practice of doing everything by himself, these methods really relieved him too much burden.Not only greatly improved his work efficiency, but also greatly reduced the chance of making mistakes.

Therefore, Lao Zhu could only slander him while accepting cabinet benefits from Ni Sun.

Just as Lao Zhu was stamping his big seal on a disaster relief booklet, he suddenly saw a blank booklet.

This made Lao Zhu refreshed all of a sudden, he hadn't seen such a clean memorial for a long time!

Lao Zhu immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to work hard on this booklet without a ticket, but suddenly found that there was a problem with the signature of this booklet. Ni Sun sent it back!

When Lao Zhu saw the words "Sunchen Zhu Yunxi nodded", he was so angry that he picked up the booklet on the spot and threw it heavily on the table.

"This rebellious grandson actually has the face to write notes for us!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he quickly winked at the eunuchs nearby and told them to slip out quickly, so as not to be caught in trouble by Chi Yu.

After everyone retreated, Qin Deshun bravely stepped forward.

"My lord, His Highness came back from writing a letter from thousands of miles away, but he still misses you..."

"Look at what he wrote, did he mention us half a time in the whole memorial!"

"My lord, you know that slaves don't know many words..."

Old Zhu said angrily when he heard the words.

"It's okay, let's read it to you!"

"Sun Chen Zhu Yunxi nodded!"

"Grandpa Huang, grandson is going to fight Beiyuan. You send Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Li Jinglong, Ping Baoer, Geng Bingwen and others to help grandson give Beiyuan a fatal blow!"

"In addition, military supplies still need to be raised..."

"The guards from all over the country must also gather in Guihua City..."

Qin Deshun said tentatively after hearing the words.

"My lord, this servant seems to have mentioned you from His Majesty the Emperor Taisun, how can you say that you didn't mention it half a time?"

Old Zhu was so angry that he cursed.

"Is he mentioning this?"

"He didn't ask us how we were doing recently, nor did he ask if our appetite was good, nor did he ask if we were angry..."

"This……"

Just when Qin Deshun didn't know what to say, he suddenly heard a eunuch whispering a report outside the door.

"Qizou Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wan please see me!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he waved his hand angrily.

"Let him in!"

Not long after, Zhu Yunwen walked into the hall with low eyebrows and bowed respectfully to Old Zhu.

"Greetings to Grandpa Huang, my grandson pays respects to Grandpa Huang!"

"We're safe!"

"What are you doing in the palace today?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes turned red when he heard the words.

"Grandson... Grandson is fine... nothing is wrong..."

"It's just that I haven't seen Grandpa Huang for a long time, and I'm worried about Grandpa Huang's health. I want to ask Grandpa Huang if he is eating well and sleeping soundly."

"If Grandpa Huang finds it bothering you, it's okay to ask grandson to take a look at the door. As long as grandson sees Grandpa Huang in good health, he will be at ease, woo woo woo..."

Seeing Zhu Yunqi crying and crying at every turn, Lao Zhu immediately showed a disgusted expression on his face.

"Why are you crying!"

"We're not dead yet, why are you crying in such a hurry?"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't bear such words, he was so frightened that he kowtowed on the spot.

"Grandpa, calm down, grandson didn't mean it, grandson just..."

Seeing that he was so nervous, Lao Zhu's heart suddenly softened.Then thinking that he is not good at words, but only has a heart of sincerity and filial piety, I feel more pity for him in my heart.

"We're fine, we didn't blame you, you read it, you read it, you asked it, you can go back with peace of mind, right?"

"Ok!"

"My grandson feels relieved when he sees that the emperor's grandfather is in his prime and in good health."

"Grandpa Huang will continue to deal with state affairs, grandson will leave first."

After Lao Zhu watched Zhu Yunwen leave, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh!"

"If that grandson had half the filial piety of this child, we wouldn't be so angry..."

When Qin Deshun heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward to give Zhu Yunxi a big patch.

"My lord, you actually don't know something. The reason why His Royal Highness didn't ask about your recent situation in the memorial is because he already knew about it through other channels!"

"what?"

"The emperor's grandson will send someone to send a telegram every day, asking about your diet and daily life. It's as big as how much you eat every day, and as small as what time you sleep every day. The questions are extremely detailed."

"Oh?"

Lao Zhu's expression turned pale when he heard this, but he still felt a little resentful in his heart.

"Why are you keeping this from us?"

Hearing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly called out to bump Tianqu.

"My lord, it's not that the slaves are trying to deceive you. It's actually the emperor's grandson who issued a seal order, saying that true filial piety lies not in what you say, but in what you do. It's like the cold wild vegetables that the emperor ate this morning. His Highness Taisun specifically asked the Imperial Dining Room to make it, saying that it would improve the emperor's dietary fiber and help the gastrointestinal motility..."

"There is also the velvet cloak presented by the Needlework Bureau two days ago. The emperor's grandson sent a telegram to urge him, saying that he is worried that you are too old to bear the autumn chill..."

Old Zhu couldn't believe it when he heard this.

"Then Ni Sun has such filial piety?"

"Isn't he wishing that we would die soon so that he could come back and inherit the throne?"

"My lord, what you said is an unjust death for His Royal Highness, the grandson of the Emperor. If His Highness knew that you said that about him, he would definitely be wronged..."

"Humph!"

"We don't believe your nonsense. If he is really so filial, then there must be a file in the telegraph office, right?"

"Let's go to the telegraph office to check now. If we can't find these archives, let's see how we can deal with you!"
