Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze walked down slowly from the city wall.

Behind him were the towering walls of Tianhai Pass and the tragic battlefield.

Every step he took was steady and powerful, as if he was stepping on the destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Lu Bing followed behind him, not daring to make any noise.

He knew that His Majesty already had a bigger plan in mind.

Tianhai Customs’ victory is just the beginning of this game.

Chu Ze's eyes were deep and calm as he looked towards the tent in front of him, as if he was thinking about every move that would come next.

Suddenly, Chu Ze stopped.

He stood with his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Lu Bing."

Chu Ze spoke softly, with a suppressed majesty in his voice.

Lu Bing immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Chu Ze frowned slightly, his eyes swept across the distance coldly, and said lightly: "Batur is dead. Although the main force of Mongolia has collapsed, this does not mean that the threat on the border has been completely eliminated."

"There are still many small tribes on the grasslands. They act independently. If we don't take precautions, they will sooner or later become hidden dangers."

"I don't want to see them unite again and become a new threat in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Bing nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty is right. Although these small tribes on the grassland are scattered, if they are allowed to develop, they will indeed breed new disasters."

“Do we need to send troops to clear them out one by one?”

Chu Ze shook his head, a hint of depth in his eyes.

"Clearing out is only a temporary measure. The people on the grassland have always lived on nomadism. If we clear out one tribe, the other tribes will immediately scatter and flee."

"We can't keep wasting our manpower on this endless grassland forever."

Lu Bing was startled, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should we deal with these hidden dangers?"

Chu Ze smiled gently, with a glimmer of wisdom in his eyes.

"I want them to solve their own problems."

"The tribes on the grasslands already have conflicts of interest with each other. As long as we give them some guidance, they will kill each other and will never be able to form a united force."

"In this way, we can reap the benefits without spending a lot of manpower."

When Lu Bing heard this, he suddenly understood.

Your Majesty's intention is very simple, which is to take advantage of the conflicts between the grassland tribes, let them fight among themselves and weaken each other.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty's borders could remain stable in the long term without having to worry about threats from the grasslands.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"In this way, the major tribes on the grassland will be forever in chaos and will no longer be able to threaten the Ming Dynasty."

Chu Ze nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "Lu Bing, I want you to arrange personnel immediately to secretly contact some small tribes on the grassland."

"Especially those forces that have grudges against Batur's tribe."

"Tell them that Batur's death means a new era is about to begin."

"As long as they are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, I will grant them more land and supplies."

"Let them fight each other endlessly, and I will personally support the final winner."

Lu Bing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

"I will send the most reliable spies to contact the major tribes on the grassland."

"I believe that once the conflicts between these tribes are provoked, they will inevitably fall into endless infighting."

"By then, they will no longer have time to care about the borders of our Ming Dynasty."

Chu Ze smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"good."

"I will cause the tribes on the grassland to fall into civil strife and never be able to unite again."

"I will not only defeat them on the battlefield, but also fundamentally destroy their unity and cohesion."

When Lu Bing heard these words, he felt a chill in his heart.

Your Majesty's methods are truly cruel and ruthless.

But it is precisely such means that can ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I will make sure this is done perfectly." "The tribes on the grassland will inevitably suffer heavy losses due to the internal strife."

Chu Ze nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "In addition, I also want you to arrange an elite team to sneak into the depths of the grassland."

“These people don’t need much, but they must be agile, smart and decisive.”

"Their mission is to monitor those tribal leaders who may rise on the grasslands, and to eliminate them immediately if they are found to be doing anything wrong."

"I will nip all potential threats in the bud."

Lu Bing nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will select the most elite experts from the Jinyiwei to form a team to be responsible for this matter."

"Ensure that the mission is completed without leaving any hidden dangers."

Chu Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of chill in his voice: "Lu Bing, I gave you this important task because you have been loyal to me for many years."

"I don't want anyone to go against my wishes."

"There can't be any mistakes in this matter, understand?"

Lu Bing immediately knelt down and clasped his fists, his voice full of determination: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will live up to your trust."

"If there is any mistake, I will be beheaded!"

Chu Ze looked at him, nodded, then turned around and continued walking forward.

His steps were still steady and powerful, as if he was thinking about the overall situation in the future with every step.

"Lu Bing."

Chu Ze suddenly stopped and looked at the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield not far away. His tone was heavy: "The problem on the grassland has been solved, but the soldiers on the border are always on the front line of the battle."

"They paid countless sweat and blood to defend the borders of the Ming Dynasty."

"I want you to convey my order to bring the families of these soldiers stationed on the border to the interior so that they don't have to worry about anything."

"At the same time, reward those soldiers who have made great contributions in this battle. I want everyone to know that I have never been reluctant to reward those who have fought hard for the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Bing was immediately filled with respect and quickly clasped his fists in response, "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. I will definitely pass on this order."

"The soldiers will surely be grateful and swear to serve your majesty till death."

Chu Ze nodded slightly, with a hint of gentleness in his tone: "The border is bitterly cold, and as the Son of Heaven, I cannot personally guard every inch of the territory."

"But what I can do is to ensure that everyone who has shed blood and sweat for the Ming Dynasty can get the due reward."

"Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be stable and the world be peaceful."

Lu Bing couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart.

Your Majesty is not only a wise and brave emperor, but also a benevolent ruler who cares for his soldiers and the people.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty’s national fortunes prospered and stood at the top of the East.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you and will never regret it until I die."

Lu Bing's tone was firm and his eyes were full of determination.

Chu Ze smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"very good."

"You have been with me for many years, so I naturally trust you."

"Go, and arrange everything according to my instructions."

"The future of Northern Frontier is in your hands."

Lu Bing quickly clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly and watched Lu Bing leave, but he was still thinking of more plans in his mind.

Batur was dead and the Mongolian army was defeated.

But he knew that was only part of the picture.

The future of the Ming Dynasty faces far more than just the threat of the grassland.

He must always remain vigilant, plan ahead, and make better plans for the future stability and prosperity of the entire empire.

"The northern border... the grasslands... and places even further away."

楚

Ze murmured softly, his eyes deep and distant.

In his mind, he has already drawn up a more ambitious blueprint. (End of this chapter)
