Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 806 Hara Ku sent out the main force and went south to Mongolia to reinforce Linhai Prefecture.

Taizu had determined the total number of acres in two capitals and thirteen provinces.

The farmland has no legs, and it cannot run. It is a bit too much to lose half of it in a hundred years.

This is not like a woman's feet being bound, where the bones are broken and the length is immediately reduced by half. The original six-inch foot is instantly transformed into a three-inch golden lotus.

You can't break bones in farmland. In the past, during the heyday of Renxuan, the emperor didn't take matters into his own hands with the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he just got over it.

Now in the Jingtai Dynasty, both the emperor and the prince wanted to get the hidden fields back.

This will touch on the interests of the gentry, powerful officials and eunuchs.

The ministers present carefully responded, but their hearts became more and more worried.

Zhu Wenfang doesn't care about this, and he won't mess with it now anyway. If Mongolia is destroyed, we will use the power of victory to inventory the hidden fields and small households.

No one can stop it then.

If it fails, let’s talk about it differently.

Now it's just warm-up and testing.

The monarch and his ministers chatted about many trivial matters before they dispersed.

When Zhu Wenfang returned to the Biyu Fang, she saw Xu Qing sitting on the couch, playing with a small jar in her hand.

Zhu Wenfang took off his outer robe and lay down on the couch: "Oh, it's cold. It's been raining for two days. It's really cold. The wind is cooler over the Hetao. Meng Yuan's cavalry is on the grassland. It's windy and rainy. It's colder than us. Still suffering.”

"Brother is so philanthropic. My father went to Shaanxi with me, and the King of Han, King Xia, King Wei, King Ping, and King Ning were all sent to fiefdoms. Don't worry about it, you still have time to care about the welfare of the Meng Yuan cavalry."

Zhu Wenfang replied helplessly: "What else should we do? My brothers have taken the initiative to go to the fiefdom to boost the morale of the frontline troops. They can't hold them back. Everyone has a way.

Daddy is the same, he really dares to let them go. "

Xu Qing complained again: "They are princes, so just go. I don't know why my father can't think about it and insists on going."

Zhu Wenfang smiled and said: "I know this. After fighting this battle and accumulating some qualifications, my father-in-law will inherit the Dukedom of Anguo.

This is also the last time that my father-in-law will attend the battle in person. From now on, he will be the father-in-law of the country and become a wealthy and noble prince.

Otherwise, the Xu family's military exploits would be too high and it would not be a long-term solution. "

"Good guy, my brother hasn't even become emperor yet, and he's already trying to suppress his relatives."

Zhu Wenfang waved her hand: "I don't want to suppress my relatives, but it is the long-term way of a distinguished family to retire after success and be cautious.

As the saying goes, too much is never enough. Anyone with a long-term vision will choose to be modest and conservative. "

Xu Qing smiled and said: "That's true. Is it just that the mother-in-law really doesn't want to be the queen? In more than ten years, I will be the mother-in-law of the world?"

Zhu Wenfang shook her head firmly: "The mother-in-law will definitely not be a queen. Once she becomes a queen, she will become a target. When the time comes, the front court will fight against you, and the harem will fight against you, so why bother.

Especially in the harem, none of the mothers and concubines is the queen. They all have equal status and get along well with each other.

If the mother-in-law really insists on being superior to others, there will be resentment.

Think about it, after you become a queen, other concubines will greet you every day, have to set rules and receive lessons from you, and kneel down to kowtow to you during New Year's Day ceremonies. Which woman would be happy in her heart?

At that time, just wait for the endless underground palace fight, maybe there will be a battle to seize the rightful son. "

"Is it okay not to accept concubines?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to tell. Even if the father and mother don't care, the officials will chatter endlessly. You are in charge of the Siyuan Supervisor now, why not select a group of girls and train them from an early age. When they grow up, they will earn a lot of money. The harem can also be with you." Xu Qing heard this, stuffed the small jar in Zhu Wenfang's hand, and then stretched out her slender feet: "Stop talking about these annoying things, brother, let's eat some honey first, Si The honey from hundreds of flowers newly collected by Yuan Supervisor in Xishan is very sweet, please try it."

Zhu Wenfang was confused: "Let me eat honey, why do you stretch your feet? What is the way to eat it?"

Xu Qing whispered, and Zhu Wenfang's eyes widened: "Which bastard invented this way of eating?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "You are not joking. Since my brother asked this, I will ask my mother and concubine for you tomorrow. Just tell me that you want to know which bastard invented the way to eat it."

"Is this invented by my mother-in-law?"

"The eldest lady said it was invented by the tenth lady. In fact, it may have been invented by the two of them together. Who can say for sure."

Zhu Wenfang sighed, her sisters are all good at playing games.

Contrary to Zhu Zhanji's two sons who were extremely unworthy, Zhu Wenfang was very much like his father, and he immediately started eating honey according to Xu Qing's instructions.

……

June 6, Liaodong.

Fan Guang and Gu Zhong joined forces and pursued Bolai for many days, causing considerable damage. Borai had completely fled into the mountains and entered the Jurchen territory of Jianzhou.

Jianzhou Jurchen has been baptized many times by the Ming army, and its population is now less than 10,000. Because resisting the Ming would mean death, and not resisting the Ming would also lead to death. The Jianzhou Jurchens had no choice but to come together with the Mongols and form an alliance to fight against the Ming.

The Jurchens in Jianzhou couldn't understand why Emperor Jingtai had such great malice towards their own tribe and had to kill them all before giving up.

However, Fan Guang and Gu Zhong also made command errors. Both of them believed that the only troops near Shenyang and Haizhou were Bilai's troops, so they relaxed their approach to the north.

Unexpectedly, Hara Kuchu and Chang'annu led a coalition of Mongolian and savage Jurchen forces to pursue Mandulu all the way south and directly seized Kaiyuan.

The two sides continued to fight, Mantulu ran to Haizhou, and Haraku went out to chase Haizhou.

By the time Fan Guang and Gu Zhong received the report, both groups of people had already passed Liaoyang and were actually heading to Haizhou.

The Ming army's baggage was all in Haizhou City, and Wu Zhong and Zhang Ning led 20,000 elite infantry and cavalry troops to garrison Haizhou.

Fan Guang called Wu Zhong and Zhang Ning to the Chinese army's tent to discuss countermeasures.

Fan Guang has always been brave, but he is not too afraid of the Mongolian army: "Ha La Ku Chu has an army of 30,000 people, Chang'an Nu has about 10,000 people, plus the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers who came here, the total is only more than 50,000 people.

And we have a total of 80,000 soldiers, 80,000 versus 50,000. The advantage is mine.

In my opinion, we can set up a formation at Tangwang Mountain, fight Hara Kuchu, and have another offensive and defensive battle. "

As a civil servant, Zhang Ning pays more attention to the overall situation when looking at problems, and immediately reminded: "Marquis Shenwu did not count a large army. There are 30,000 Mongolian Yuan cavalry stationed in Da'erhaizi north of Kaiping.

If Xia Guan's prediction was good, Hara Kuchu would definitely have transferred this cavalry team. All together, there were 80,000 troops in Hara Kuchu.

In other words, we are 80,000 against 80,000. It is a fair fight and we must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. "

Fan Guang said with a smile: "The Duoyan Guards still have 30,000 cavalry. We immediately requested an order to transfer these 30,000 elite cavalry, and we will have a strength advantage again."

Zhang Ning shook his head: "The Holy One must be planning to transfer most of Duoyan's elite troops to Dongsheng, how could he be willing to transfer them to Liaodong.

The main force of Mongolia on the western front is extremely strong, and Dongsheng has few troops, so the Holy Emperor must give priority to increasing troops to Dongsheng. "
