Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1050: Wind Rising in the South
In response to the sudden situation in the south of the desert, not only did the officials from the Lifanyuan come to the emperor's presence, but the officials from the Military Affairs Council also came. Although the Lifanyuan was mainly responsible for the affairs surrounding the Manchus and Mongolia, it involved the stability of the Ming Dynasty's borders, especially Liaodong, and the Military Affairs Council could not just ignore everything.

When the Ming Dynasty entered the sixth year of the Tianqi reign, Zhu Youxiao carried out relatively intensive adjustments and reforms. In fact, from the central government to the local levels, the powers of some officials overlapped greatly.

Zhu Youxiao was very clear about this situation and of course knew that it would cause a certain amount of waste of resources, but institutional reform would not be so easy.

The organizational structure with clear division of powers and responsibilities can only be gradually adjusted according to internal and external situations to ensure that the Ming Dynasty is always in a stable situation and does not fall into chaos due to any unexpected situations, in which case everything will lose its meaning.

"According to the information obtained by all parties, the chieftain of the Jianlu, Huang Taiji, left Shengjing and rushed to the area around Bulahanwei to hold a meeting, inviting the Khorchin tribes and some tribes that were defeated by the Jianlu in the past."

Under the gaze of Dao Dao, Liu Hongxun, the Minister of the Lifan Yuan, pointed to the map in front of him and said with a serious expression: "The reason for this alliance is that according to the careful deduction of the officials of the Lifan Yuan, it is very likely that the Jianlu side, among the armed merchants who went deep into the grasslands in the various customs under the jurisdiction of the Zongrenfu, spied on the fact that our dynasty was going to build a summer resort in Chengde."

"When Huang Taiji fought with Hu Dun and Tu Han, the battle ended with a tragic victory for the Jian Lu. But since then, the Jian Lu has sent many secret agents to infiltrate. The exact scale of the infiltration is unknown to the Dragon Guards who infiltrated the Jian Lu."

"I know that."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "The secret agents sent by the Jianlu to the grasslands have been found to be the heads of intelligence, including Fan Wencai, Fan Wencheng, and Sony. They are all Huang Taiji's confidants."

"As grassland trade continues to deepen, it is normal for some intelligence leaks to occur. However, I want to know why the border areas learned about the alliance and flag system secretly implemented by the Lifanyuan so quickly?"

"I am guilty!"

The officials of the Lifanyuan immediately bowed and apologized.

They were also very surprised about this matter.

"Don't just accuse me of something, check it for me!!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "Find out what went wrong and keep talking!!"

When the officials of the Military Affairs Council headed by Xiong Tingbi saw the scene, they all looked at Liu Hongxun and others with serious expressions. This kind of situation in Mo Nan was something that no one wanted to see.

"And during the Buqihanwei alliance, Huang Taiji actually killed the Khorchin leader Oba!" Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Hongxun said with a serious expression.

"This move caused unrest in the area around Buqihanwei, and some tribes even fought against the Eight Banners of Jianlu. But in the end, Huang Taiji stabilized the situation."

"Not only did Khorchin elect a new leader, but more importantly, after the turmoil ended, the Eight Banners of Mongolia under Jianlu gained a batch of fresh blood."

He is really decisive in killing.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, he had not expected that Huang Taiji would kill Oba. You know, this Oba was married to the Aisin-Gioro clan.

However, Oba always had a volatile attitude towards Chahar. Even though Hudun Tuhan led his troops to invade Khorchin, causing his subordinates to suffer a lot of losses, as the leader of Khorchin, Oba did not show an extremely strong determination for revenge.

This goes against Huang Taiji's philosophy.

Even now, the foundation of the Eight Banners of Jianlu is still not strong, at least in the view of Zhu Youxiao. This forced Huang Taiji to launch foreign wars time and time again. In addition to plundering wealth, what is more important is to plunder the population, in order to strengthen the foundation of the Eight Banners of Jianlu and then resist the continuous bloodletting of the Ming Dynasty.

"At the Buqihan Guard meeting, Huang Taiji successfully reached a consensus with the various tribes that came to the meeting to launch an offensive against Hudun Tuhan's troops." Liu Hongxun continued, "Now the two sides have had many conflicts and tests in many places in the southern part of the desert, but according to the report from the Dragon Guards who infiltrated the Chahar tribe, Hudun Tuhan is not enthusiastic about this battle and even has the idea of ​​moving west to the area outside the Xuanda Pass!"

"Where to move to?"

Xiong Tingbi glared and questioned.

"Outside the Xuanda Pass."

Liu Hongxun said with a serious expression.

"His Majesty!!"

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, he immediately bowed to the emperor and said, "We must not allow the main forces of Hudun and Tuhan to move westward to the area outside the Xuanda Pass. Otherwise, once this move is successful, it will inevitably threaten the stability of the northwest."

"The situation in the northwest is turbulent now. Even though Sun Chuanting has been appointed as the governor-general of the three borders and has made clear the reorganization of the army in Shanxi and Shaanxi, once Hu Dun and Tu Han's troops move west, it will definitely affect the stability of the northwestern border towns."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Chen Shiqi, Zhang Guowei and other ministers of the Military Affairs Council bowed in agreement.

They came to the emperor this time to report the situation, but they didn't expect to know this situation in front of the emperor. The Lifanyuan was responsible for handling the infiltration from Mongolia.

If the Military Affairs Council wants to know the information in this regard, it needs to share it with the Lifanyuan.

"This tiger-like fool has really been frightened by the Jianlu."

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao frowned and said in a low voice, "It's just a meeting, but he actually wanted to move west. His move west will not only affect the situation in the northwest of our dynasty, but also expose nearly half of the area south of the desert to the Jianlu army."

"Among the various Mongolian tribes active in that area, there are many who are Huang Taiji's opponents. They are all short-sighted and have ambitions but no vision."

"This Huang Taiji is really ruthless. He wants to use this war to stir up unrest in the south of the desert, and then plunder the population in this war to strengthen the foundation of his forces."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Hongxun bowed and said, "This is what I am worried about. Once the Jianlu convenes a meeting and gathers a large army to attack the areas south of the desert, if Hu Dun and Tu Han really lead their troops to move west, it will definitely have a great impact on our dynasty both inside and outside, which will be detrimental to our dynasty's policy deployment on the grassland."

"If Huang Taiji wins this battle, then the previously planned Chengde Mountain Resort and the alliance flag system that has been extended from it will be greatly affected."

Huang Taiji must be killed!
Zhu Youxiao secretly made up his mind that if he didn't kill this beast, there would be great changes in the grassland strategy. Even though the strength of Jianlu is far inferior to that of Ming Dynasty, everything is possible on the grassland. As long as people are not dead, it is not impossible to turn the tide. After all, the grassland respects the strong!
