Chapter 443 Touring Mobei

The man laughed and said, "Naturally, it was collected from the local herdsmen."

"It is said that……"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly elongated his voice, and said slowly: "There is a kind of snow wolf in Mobei, which is tall and white all over, which is extremely rare, and the fur of this kind of snow wolf is even rarer. It has the effect of relaxing tendons, activating blood circulation, prolonging life, isn’t it?”

The guy looked a little puzzled, and said, "You may be mistaken. I have lived on the grasslands for decades, and I have seen wild wolves that are all white."

"is it?"

Zhu Qizhen pretended to be disappointed, sighed, and said: "I thought you lived in Mobei all year round, and you have seen this kind of snow wolf skin!"

Wynn understood from the side, and then said: "When my master was young, his heart and lungs suffered from cold air, leaving him with old diseases. He was most afraid of the cold weather. I heard that the snow wolf skin can cure diseases. If you can get it, the price is negotiable !"

After hearing all this, the man didn't have any suspicions, so he said truthfully: "It is said that that kind of snow wolf is only found in the extreme north. It is very cold in that place, and few people go hunting. The snow wolf fur is naturally extremely rare. Precious, the small ones are only heard of, never seen."

Zhu Qizhen showed a look of regret, and said: "Then there is no fate, let's settle the score!"

"Chenghui, the total is 52 taels, let's count 50 taels for you!"

"Okay, give me the money!"

Zhu Qizhen stood up, walked to the door, and looked at a piece of white leather on the signboard, which had turned yellow due to the wind and sun.

"What kind of skin is this?"

The guy suddenly became nervous and said, "It's white fox fur!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, turned and left.

Wynn paid the money and walked out of the fur store with a bundle of leathers in his arms.

"Your Majesty, if you want snow wolf skins, your slaves can send someone to find them."

Zhu Qizhen looked at him helplessly, and said, "What do I want that thing for?"

"what?"

Wynn was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't you say that snow wolf skin can relax muscles, activate blood and prolong life?"

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "You still said that I had a cold when I was young, can you take these words seriously?"

Wynn looked distressed and asked, "Then... What do you mean by snow wolf skin?"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, and said: "The reason why snow wolves are white is a kind of protective color, that is to say, this kind of wolf only lives in the extreme north covered by ice and snow, don't you understand?"

"Oh, servant girl understands!"

Wynn patted his thigh and said, "You're going to test it out to see if they have any connection with the Tatars in the Far North."

"Actually, there is no need to test it at all. Didn't you see the signboard they hung at the door? It's made of snow wolf skin!"

"Ah? Isn't it fox fur?"

Wynn was stunned, a piece of leather that looked yellowish, how could it be a wolf's fur.

Zhu Qizhen said with a sneer: "Fox fur has more hair and less hair, and wolf skin has more hair and less hair, you can tell it at a glance!"

Wynn was very puzzled, why do you, the emperor, know everything?
Could it be that an emperor must learn these things from an early age?
A cold light flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, he knew very well what the white wolf fur of this firm meant.

There are no snow wolves in Mobei, which means that someone hunts wolves in the extreme north, and then goes to the caravan to exchange supplies, and Tuotuobuhua is in the extreme north!
Now the situation is very clear, there is no need for any evidence at all, it is enough to prove that there is some kind of connection between this firm and Tuotuobuhua.

"Your Majesty, return to the palace this way!"

"Don't go back yet, go to Beizhen Prefecture!"

Zhu Qizhen returned to Beizhen Fusi with a sullen face, and ordered Yuan Bin to find out all the information about Mobei.

Over the years, Jin Yiwei has placed hundreds of spies in Mobei, and the information they have collected has filled two big boxes, and they can't read it all for three days and three nights.

I saw two large boxes opened, and there were countless booklets inside...

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "So many?"

Yuan Bin replied: "Since the emperor personally conscripted, every move of Mobei has been under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and said: "Don't read it, tell me what's going on in Mobei now!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin sorted out his thoughts, and then described the general situation in Mobei in detail.

In the 15th year of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen's royal conquest, Oala was destroyed, Tatars fled, and Monan and Mobei returned to the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court established Monanwei and Mobeiwei.

Among them, Monanwei is mainly composed of Han Chinese immigrants outside the pass, while Mobeiwei is mainly composed of the remaining Mongolian tribes.

Jinyiwei's key monitoring area is Mobeiwei!
In fact, the Mongolian tribes in Mobeiwei changed their living habits and became the people of Ming Dynasty. From the beginning, it was not smooth.

It's not that they are used to the nomadic life, but that someone is obstructing it.

The nomadic life seems to be free and easy, but in fact, it's not that they want to, it's just forced by life.

They need to drive cattle and sheep, keep moving with tents, and live in no fixed place. Moreover, because they mainly eat meat and have unbalanced nutrition, various diseases often occur.

However, the medical conditions on the grassland are very limited, what's more, no one will know if you are sick!
In the vast grassland, just find a place, pitch a tent, and you have settled down.

When the grass here is eaten up by cattle and sheep, change to another place. Even you don't know where you are going next, let alone others.

If you are really sick, you can endure it if you can, but if you can't... you can only wait for death.

Deep in their hearts, they are actually eager to integrate into the civilization of the Central Plains.

Therefore, after the Ming court issued the edict, some people quickly changed their living habits.

Most of these people are former Wala civilians. They have worked hard to graze all year round, but they have to hand over most of the harvest. Once a war breaks out, they have to go to the front line to fight or work as coolies. In general, Wala is divided into three or six or nine Wait, the life of the people at the bottom is the hardest.

When they learned that they had become subjects of the Ming Dynasty, they were the most willing to accept it.

They are low-level people in Wala, and they are still low-level people in Daming. However, the people of Daming obviously live a good life. They have spacious houses, own arable land, and can work in workshops to earn money. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will not worry at all. Why not eat and drink?
However, if some people are happy, others will be sad.

The people's living standards are improving day by day, but the former Oirat nobles are not feeling well.

In the past, they had privileges. When civilians saw themselves, they had to back down and bow their heads in salute. Anyone who dared to raise their heads would be considered disrespectful.

It's a kind of favor for the girl to take away the girl who looks at her.

Now it's all right, the former commoner actually walks side by side with him, and if someone's girl falls in love with her, she won't follow him.

If you go to grab it, you will be beaten...

What the hell is this!
Therefore, these former Wala nobles became opponents of the Ming court, but they did not dare to openly provoke troubles, so they could only make small moves secretly.

For example, spread some rumors that the Ming court was very corrupt and dark, and all you see are illusions!

If you tell him, everyone's life is getting better and better, and things are moving in a good direction.

He will say, you have all been deceived. In fact, what you see is what the court wants you to see, and many shady scenes are not made public.

Usually at this time, someone would call him a stupid dog, and then he would be spit all over his face.

Of course, they knew that what they did would not be of much use, but they just enjoyed it and feared that the world would not be chaotic.

As a result, the Mongolian tribes of Mobeiwei are basically divided into two factions, one is supporters and the other is opponents.

For these opponents, the court has taken action many times, beating or punishing them. Various punishment methods have been used, but there has been no effect.

Because they are not stupid, once the court sends people to investigate, they will immediately calm down.

After the limelight passed, the court relaxed its vigilance and immediately became active again.

For this reason, the imperial court was also very helpless. Anyway, they couldn't do anything, and as time passed, they didn't want to care about it.

After Zhu Qizhen listened carefully, he asked, "What outrageous actions have these people made recently?"

Yuan Bin shook his head and said: "Back to the emperor, not only did he not move, but he was very calm!"

"Could it be that the local government has started to control it again?"

Yuan Bin shook his head again, with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "That's where the blame is. The government hasn't stepped up control. However, these people have been very peaceful recently, and they haven't acted abnormally."

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "It's nothing strange, it's just the calm before the storm!"

After hearing this, Yuan Bin frowned suddenly, and said, "What does the emperor mean... what big moves are they going to make?"

"I'm just speculating. Think about it, when you are dissatisfied with someone and speak ill of him behind his back every day, but suddenly one day, you stop talking, why?"

"Um……"

Yuan Bin pondered for a moment, and seemed to have figured it out: "Unless the minister has found a way to deal with this person, there is no need to gossip behind his back!"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and continued: "Looking at it now, the matter is very clear. Tuotuobuhua has made a comeback, there are some restless forces in Mobei, and there is a fur firm who is a spy. Everything is right. Now There is only one crucial point missing."

"The emperor means..."

"Opportunity!"

Zhu Qizhen spit out two words slowly, and then looked at Wynn: "They have made so many preparations, they must be plotting something big. Tell me, where are they going to cut in?"

"Ah, this..."

Wynn smiled awkwardly and said, "Slave is stupid..."

Zhu Qizhen shook his head in disappointment: "It seems that I can't hope to go to Dongchang."

Wynn: ...

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yuan Bin again: "Come on!"

Yuan Bin thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Using the small to gain the big, and the weak to defeat the strong, we need a point of surprise to win. The point mentioned by the emperor...I dare not speak nonsense..."

"Have any ideas, but it's okay to say!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin thought for a while, and finally said: "It should be the emperor!"

Wynn froze suddenly, looked at Yuan Bin with strange eyes, his face was full of unknown reasons.

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Tell me your reason."

Yuan Bin continued: "Tuo Tuo didn't spend so much time planning so many things, and he didn't hesitate to send the Yacha Kingdom out, just to arouse Beishan Wei's vigilance, which shows that he is ready to fight to the death. If people want to cause a great disturbance in Mobei, the only possibility is to harm the emperor."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said again: "But, I have no plan to travel to Mobei, where is his plan?"

Yuan Bin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, is Qi Qike still in the capital?"

"Yes, it's still there."

"If... I mean if she invites you to visit Mobei, will you go or not?"

Zhu Qizhen also seemed to think of this episode, and said, "What do you think?"

Yuan Bin shook his head vigorously and said, "Of course I can't go."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "However, this can also be explained, why Tuotuo does not spend a lot of trouble and set up doubts."

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and said: "Yes, if I go to Mobei, then everything can be explained."

These days, he has been thinking hard, what kind of tricks is Tuotuobuhua doing?
Today I finally figured it out. It turns out that the goal is myself.

Although everything is just speculation, it is very close to the truth.

Bang bang bang!
Someone knocked on the door, Yuan Bin dissatisfied: "What did I tell you just now, don't bother me!"

"My lord...the East Factory is here..."

Yuan Bin frowned and asked, "Who?"

"Eunuch Bingbi of Dongchang, Xiao Jing, Eunuch Xiao, please see me!"

Yuan Bin looked at Wynn and cast a questioning look.

Wynn said blankly, "I didn't let him come!"

Yuan Bin looked at Zhu Qizhen again, and Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly.

"please come in!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, the door opened, and Xiao Jing walked in hastily.

"Slaves kowtow to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "Get up and talk!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Jing got up and took out a memorial from his bosom.

"This is the memorandum that Mobei Qixike sent to the cabinet, and all the cabinet elders forwarded it to the Supervisor of Rituals."

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but said: "Nian and I listen."

Xiao Jing bowed and said: "Qiqike, I implore the emperor to visit Mobei!"

Zhu Qizhen: ...

Yuan Bin: ...

Wynn: ...

Xiao Jing didn't notice anything unusual, and continued: "I implore the emperor to give instructions!"

Wynn hurriedly said: "The emperor's tour is a major event. You go back first and tell Qi Qike that the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites have discussed it before making a conclusion."

But Yuan Bin said: "This man's wolfish ambition is beyond doubt, I might as well go and arrest him!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "You caught her, will Tuotuohua come back?"

Yuan Bin hurriedly said: "It doesn't take long to think about whether to take it or not. Take a step back and say that the remnants of the Tatars no longer have the strength to attack our Ming Dynasty. It doesn't make sense for them to die or live."

Zhu Qizhen didn't think so. There must be something not so simple behind this matter, and there must be something he overlooked.

The hidden danger has not been ruled out, and it is always a hidden danger.

If you want to find out the truth, you have no choice but to use your body as bait to catch the big fish Tutuobuhua!
"I just want to see, Tutuobuhua has planned so many things, what kind of conspiracy is he up to?"
