Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 764: The prince’s first independent court meeting, the monarch and his subjects join hands to support Mongolian Khan

Ningxia, Zhu Qiyu had a headache when he heard about this place.

This is the weakest point in the northern defense line. Emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to Hetao and its surroundings.

In the first eight years of the Jingtai Dynasty, the imperial court could not spare any time to manage Hetao and Ningxia.

Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen did not succeed in his restoration, and the tragedy of Zhu Qizhen handing over the Hetao to the Mongols did not happen.

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Oh, it's so annoying. I want to drink milk."

Qianxue lowered her head and looked at her chest, then looked around: "This request is a bit difficult. It's really hard to find at the moment."

"Forget it, take off your clothes and sit on my lap."

"Our government affairs haven't been finished yet."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I will sit in front of the coffee table first, and then you will sit on my lap. You will be writing on the coffee table, and I will raise and lower your hands. Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

Qianxue teased: "My husband is really the magic star in Xueer's life. No one else has so many requirements for raising a thin horse like you."

The beauty's mouth was a bit harsh, but her body was very honest. Not long after, Zhu Qiyu hugged the beauty from behind, with his head resting on his shoulders, touching each other, and they became one.

After relaxing for a moment, he had to continue to deal with government affairs: "The memorial just now has been approved. The guards of Ningxia want to increase the amount of soybeans. It's accurate.

In addition, tell them that if the Mongolian army presses the border, there is no need to fight to the death, and preserving strength is the first priority.

At the same time, the household department was ordered to transport grain and grass. If the enemy came, just occupy the city and stand firm. "

This needs special emphasis. With the lessons learned from Shanxi and Liaodong, ordinary generals would not dare to hold on for fear of being held accountable by the emperor.

But Zhu Qiyu was not unwilling to adapt. If Mongolia gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and asked the Ningxia guards to fight, it would really be a difficult task.

As for what to do if the Mongolian army really breaks into the Neihetao, Zhu Qiyu is also very Buddhist. Even though the Neihetao is hundreds of miles away, there are not many people there, otherwise the emperors of all dynasties would not have ignored it.

Zhu Qiyu added: "Let the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate funds to purchase 30,000 to 50,000 horses in Kaiping, Daning, and Guangning and send them to Dongshengwei.

In addition, grain, grass and baggage were stored in Dongshengwei to meet conditions sufficient to support an expedition of 150,000 troops. "

Qianxue groaned in a low voice and replied intermittently: "I understand, my husband wants to, ah, wait for the Mongolian army to enter the Hetao, and then... come and catch the turtle in the jar."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "What does a little skinny horse know? In the Hetao Plain with a radius of several hundred miles, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry running around, how can you catch a turtle in a jar?"

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of pigs, there is no way to catch them on the vast grassland.

Don't worry, I have other tricks to deal with those bastards. "

While the two were talking, Ningxiang walked in with a smile, took the pen and paper, and sat opposite the two of them: "Husband and Xi'er, don't move. You are both beautiful and warm now. I'll wait for my concubine to draw it."

Zhu Qiyu lost confidence at these words, and once again took a closer look at the beauty in his arms: "Is she Xue'er or Xi'er? As soon as Ningxiang came back, I was even more confused."

Ningxiang consoled her: "It's rare for people to be confused when it comes to life. Anyway, both Xue'er and Xi'er are your little sex slaves, so they know exactly what to do."

"Hey, that's right, then let's draw."

……

On the sixth day of February, Zhu Wenfang went to the Wenhua Hall in person and, under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, officially canonized Mantulu as the 28th Great Khan of Mongolia.

At this point, both Mantulu and Agabarji claimed to be the 28th Mongol Khan. On the one hand, it has the approval of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it has the recommendation of the Kulitai Assembly.

After the canonization, Zhu Wenfang organized a small court meeting at the Wenhua Hall to help the new great khan he supported ask for assistance from the three ministries of household, industry and military affairs.

The ministers participating in the small court meeting were all complete. In addition to the six ministers and ministers, all the ministers from the six subjects were also present.

Everyone bowed and looked up, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Wenfang just sat stunned on the dragon chair, looking like it was natural.

Wang Yining, the Minister of Rites, was a little confused. Is it okay to sit like this? Did Renmiao sit on the dragon throne like this carefree when he was the prince of the prison?

There is a precedent for the prince to sit on the dragon throne with the emperor. In the past, Zhu Zhanji loved the prince Zhu Qizhen very much. He once sat on the dragon throne with his arms around Zhu Qizhen, and boasted to Sanyang that the prince would be a wise king and a holy master in the future.

Wang Yining finally chose to ignore this issue, and other ministers made the same choice. The emperor himself made it very clear that he was willing to share power with the prince, so why did the ministers care about that? Moreover, the emperor made it clear during the last court meeting that from now on the prince's words will be the emperor's words, and the prince's thoughts will be the emperor's thoughts.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Zhu Wenfang went straight to the point: "Father said that he would form an army of 30,000 for the Great Khan and assemble it east of the Xing'an Mountains and west of the Wulong River.

The people were recruited by the Great Khan from the Mongolian tribes, Haixi Jurchens, and Barbarian Jurchens.

Money and food are provided by the Ministry of Household Affairs; weapons, armor, and firearms are provided by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

The horses are handled by Taipu Temple. "

Taipusi Qing immediately asked: "Your Highness, it is difficult to bring out tens of thousands of war horses at once. Can you ask the horse supervisor to help bring out some?"

When Zhu Wenfang heard this, he stared at Taipusi Qing for a long time. You are not done yet. The royal family has not taken any money from the treasury, but continues to subsidize it.

Gold, flowers, silver, and the three major weaving industries were all transferred from internal funds to the imperial court, and the emperor frequently allocated hundreds of thousands taels or thousands of hectares of land to the imperial court. It's okay if you don't care about the royal family, but you still ask for horses from the Royal Horse Guards. It seems that you won't be able to pass the test unless you are given tens of thousands of horses.

Considering that the Yuma Jian had successfully reformed in the past few years, and the horses in his hands were fat and strong, and there were a surplus of horses, Zhu Wenfang finally agreed: "The Yuma Jian can provide 10,000 horses, and the remaining Taipu Temple will come out.

I have something to say first, you Taipu Temple should not fool people with bad horses or thin horses. "

Taipusi Qing accepted the order and left with satisfaction. After a few words, he asked for 10,000 horses from the prince, so that he could brag to his colleagues later.

Luo Tong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and asked for instructions: "May I ask, Your Highness, what specific types of firearms are given to the Khan? Do you want to give artillery?"

Zhu Wenfang nodded: "We will give you three hundred cannons that are light and easy to transport, and five thousand muskets. There is no need to give other firearms.

The infantry will be given 5,000 sets of heavy armor, and the cavalry will be given 30,000 sets of light armor. In addition, 500 chariots and 500 crossbows were given.

This is what Father has decided long ago, and you just have to follow it. "

What Zhu Qiyu means is that after the Agabarji army is dispatched, at most 50,000 troops will be left to garrison the base camp, of which there should not be more than 30,000 elite soldiers.

Therefore, the army formed for Mantulu was controlled to be just strong enough to perish together with Agabarji's remaining army.

It is best for Agabarji's left-behind army to kill Mantulu first, and then the Ming army goes up to kill the left-behind army, thereby occupying Agabarji's base camp.

Mandulu knew very well what the Ming Emperor was thinking, and it was all a conspiracy.
