Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 786 Daning’s money order buys good horses, Shenyang’s Mongolian army sets up an ambush and waits

Xu Tong was unconvinced when he heard this: "Your Majesty, are you willing to kneel down and sit at the feet of your empress?"

Wang Yunmeng shook his head: "Your Majesty, he did not kneel down, but knelt directly at the feet of the sisters. After closing the door, the Holy lord is willing to do anything, and he does not take advantage of men's poverty.

Otherwise, why would the sisters Xiangyu and Ningxiang follow the Lord wholeheartedly? Do you really think they like to be abused?

Any woman would be jealous of the way the Holy Father doted on them. Heck, you can’t even imagine that there are not many men in the world who can do that. "

Xu Tong nodded: "That's true. If you look at how much land we have reserved for the palace in Daning New City, you will know how much the Holy Lord loves people.

In addition to the same regulations as other princely residences, it also has a huge garden. Next to the palace, there is a barracks on the southeast, northwest and four sides, which can accommodate at least 50,000 people.

In addition to the three guards of King Ning stationed in these barracks at ordinary times, once encountering an enemy attack, the court can also immediately add additional troops.

The Ministry of Revenue established the second Beijing foreign exchange official warehouse in Daning, which also benefited from King Ning's favor.

This is the eleventh empress ranked at the bottom of the Lingyu Palace, and her son Prince Ning is so favored.

In the future, when Shi Niangniang gives birth to the King of Chu, I can’t imagine how favored the Holy Emperor will be. "

Wang Yunmeng said with a smile: "Those sisters are so coquettish that they charmed the Lord. My husband hasn't told you what the Lord asked you to do when he gave you the two hundred thousand taels of money order?"

Xu Tong replied: "Buying horses, over there in Kaiping, the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry are blocking the door, and it is no longer possible to maintain mutual trade.

Over in Guangning, more than 200 miles away, the Mongolian cavalry was besieging Shenyang, which was not safe either.

As for Daning, we are fine and can continue to buy horses.

And even if other Mongolians dare not come to Daning, we still have Duoyan Sanwei here.

They took refuge with the Holy One relatively early, and the Holy One rewarded them with hundreds of thousands of captives as slaves, as well as countless cattle, sheep, and horses.

If that doesn't work, we'll buy horses from them. About 30,000 horses will be enough. After buying it, send it to Dongsheng, and the mission is completed. "

"The three guards of Duoyan will not be instigated by Agabarji and will turn against them."

"Then how could it be? The Holy Father said that Duoyan and the three guards can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

Sanwei Zhengding was a member of the emperor's personal army and received high military pay, which was paid on time and never in arrears.

Over the years, Duoyan Sanwei has lived a very comfortable life. When the weather is warm, he goes to the grassland to graze, and when the weather is cold, he returns to live in the old city of Daning.

The Holy Spirit allocated houses, gave them cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and daily necessities, and also opened schools to teach their children to read.

Now that the mutual market is open, they can also easily sell cattle, sheep and horses in exchange for silver coins and copper coins.

Store some silver coins and copper coins at home, which can be used to buy needed supplies at any time.

With such a good life, other Mongolian tribes are envious, jealous, and hateful, and they almost go crazy.

Duoyan Sanwei's brain was flooded, so he would rebel against the Holy One. "

Wang Yunmeng nodded and praised: "The currency reform that the Holy One has insisted on for so many years is indeed amazing. Mencius said that those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who do not have perseverance.

Silver coins and copper coins were popularized, completely replacing treasure banknotes, and Mongolians also had savings that were portable and easy to store.

The cattle, sheep and horses in hand can be easily converted into money, and the money can be kept at home and used to purchase various items.

If you can maintain a comfortable life by just herding cattle, who would want to rob every day?

Over the years, I have also seen that many Mongolians are not vicious by nature, but they like to burn, kill and loot. If they can live a stable life, most people will be kind. "

Xu Tong sighed: "Before our Jingtai Dynasty, the imperial court and Mongolia carried out unequal trade in which tea was expensive and horses were cheap.

Tea was monopolized by the imperial court, which then raised the value of tea and lowered the value of horses. A small amount of tea leaves could be exchanged for a large number of Mongolian horses.

The Mongols are oppressed and very cowardly.

The Holy Emperor was much more generous. Although tea was still exclusively owned by the imperial court, the tea-horse exchange ratio was much fairer. "

... On the fourth day of April, the Shandong Navy successfully arrived in Gaizhou, transporting 5,000 Japanese soldiers, 30,000 shi of grain, 3,000 horses, and 100,000 bunches of beans.

The thirty thousand cavalrymen who arrived were outside Shenyang City, three hundred miles north of Gaizhou.

The leading troops of the Ming army built fortifications and defense lines outside Gaizhou City, waiting for the arrival of the main force.

Borai had already received information about the Ming army's landing in Gaizhou. Someone in Shenyang City deliberately leaked the secret.

Borai pretended not to know, secretly adjusted his deployment, and prepared to ambush halfway when the Gaizhou Ming Army set out to support Shenyang.

Sitting in the Chinese army tent, Borai also sighed: "Shenyang and Guangning are separated by Liaoze. When the weather warms up, the ice melts, and the lower reaches of the Liaohe River turn into a muddy swamp that is difficult to navigate.

Originally, with Liaoze blocking the way, Guangning could not support Shenyang, so we could safely besiege.

However, the Ming army's navy was so powerful that it landed in Gaizhou and then supported Shenyang from Gaizhou, which really caused trouble.

It would be okay if 30,000 to 50,000 reinforcements were brought, but we are afraid that the emperor would bring over the elite Ming army stationed in Japan, and then we would have to run away. "

Now there are two sides afraid. The emperor is afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongols are afraid of the Ming army's desperate attempt to be serious.

The general advised: "We have transferred 20,000 elite troops to the south of Shenyang City. As soon as the Gaizhou Ming Army is dispatched, we will intercept and kill them halfway.

The Ming Dynasty did not have so many troops that could be mobilized, especially the situation in Japan was extremely unstable. Once a large number of Ming army elites were transferred away, there would definitely be rebellions one after another.

The emperor himself was also afraid, so he delayed the transfer of elite troops to Liaodong.

There is also the Jurchen savage commander Chang Annu, who has also gathered his troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty with us.

Our Great Khan ordered Chang'an Nu to occupy the Xing'an Mountains and destroy Mantulu, the puppet Khan who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty on our behalf.

Mantulu has no foundation and may be chased all over the place. "

Hearing this, Bolai smiled happily: "The emperor didn't know what he was thinking. He asked Mantulu to bribe the Jurchen savages and Haixi tribes, and then invade the Hulunbuir grassland from the Xing'an Mountains.

It's a good idea, but it's just all whimsical. The Jurchen tribes have long hated the Ming Dynasty. "

The more Borai thought about it, the happier he became. Whether it was the Liaodong Army or the various Jurchen tribes, they were all at odds with the Emperor of Heaven. So much so that his 30,000 cavalry invaded for many days without any care and no one went to fight at all.

Then when the Gaizhou Ming Army marches north, they will definitely be defeated by the Mongolian cavalry, Liaodong Army, and Jurchen troops.

The emperor had to send more elites to Liaodong, and the strategic purpose of containing the Ming army was achieved.

……

In the Hehuan Hall, Zhu Qiyu was sitting on the couch, also thinking about this issue.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu slapped the table: "It's decided, no matter how hard it is, I won't send the elite Ming army from Japan to come back for reinforcements.

The core thing of my Jingtai New Deal is mining and minting. You can throw away anything, except gold, silver, and copper ores.

Only with mines can we have everything and have a bright future. "

Lin Xiangyu, naked, knelt beside Zhu Qiyu.

Ningxiang poured the wine into the beauty's shoulder.

Lin Xiangyu advised: "Husband, let's have a glass of wine to relieve your worries."

Zhu Qiyu leaned over the beautiful woman's fragrant shoulder and drank the wine, then praised: "The ancients had jade screens and beautiful women's bowls, and I have a fragrant jade cup, so I am worthy of being an emperor."

Things are fine at home, but the situation outside is a bit awkward.

Is there any military report from the south? My Governor Xu, is the battle in Old Port over?

Come back quickly, I really need a young and powerful Minister of War. "
