Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 697 The King Has No Love
"Your Majesty, the older one is called Hailanzhu, and the younger one is called Bumbutai." After seeing the two sisters hugging each other and crying, Liu Ruoyu lowered his head slightly and reported to Zhu Youxiao who was standing with his hands behind his back.

"Entering the palace with them were women from other tribes of Khorchin and a group of women selected in Korea. Except for these two who were appointed by the emperor to Kunning Palace, the others were assigned to various places where there were vacancies."

"Ah."

Zhu Youxiao responded.

He knew very well the identities of Hailanzhu and Bumbutai. Both of them were daughters of Khorchin Beile Borjigit Buhe. Their brothers were Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili. The identities of these two were very noble in Khorchin, but that was only limited to Khorchin.

After entering the Ming Dynasty, they had only one identity: captured Khorchin women! !

Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao was quite surprised at the capture of the two men. At that time, the power of the Ming Dynasty had not yet penetrated into the Khorchin area.

However, due to his concern about the situation in front of Liao, Xiong Tingbi sent He Shixian to lead a group of cavalry, disguised as grassland horse bandits, to harass the Khorchin tribes. His original intention was to stir up the situation in Liaohe, and then have a great impact on the Liao left front, so as to tie down the ambitious Eight Banners of Jianlu.

Against this backdrop, Hailanzhu and Bumbutai were abducted.

Under the absolute trend, personal destiny changes with the ever-changing situation. If personal will wants to compete with the trend, it will only work if one has enough and the influence is great enough!
When they learned about this, Hailanzhu, Bumbutai and others had already arrived in Tianjin by boat. At that time, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about one thing: Aisin-Gioro Fulin was gone.

Fulin, who seems to be trapped in love, actually hides too many secrets. However, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care much about it. Does it matter whether Fulin is happy or not?

The rise of the Eight Banners of the Jianlu was gradually strangled by him. Unable to capture the important areas of Liaoshen, the Jianlu had to face the Ming Dynasty's changing rhythm of defending the enemy. It had to make solid efforts to implement the grand strategy of steady progress and using war to promote reform. With just the few core people of the Jianlu, what could they use to compete with the Ming Dynasty?

Relying on horseback archery?
I’ll fire at you!

If the Ming Dynasty really improved its firearms and artillery technology and equipped a certain scale of firearms and artillery in its army, and the Ming Dynasty's military reform was completed step by step, let alone the Eight Banners of Jianlu, even if the various tribes in the grasslands south and north of the desert, as well as those in the northwest, the western region, and the snowy region were tied together, as long as the food reserves and various military supplies reserves for several years of war were properly solved before the war began, the roads leading to various border areas were improved, and the officers and soldiers on the front lines in each region were well equipped, Zhu Youxiao really did not think that the Ming Dynasty would be defeated.

Of course, this is the most extreme approach.

The forces that truly conquer the above-mentioned regions must adopt the grand strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, provoking conflicts and creating confrontations among different tribes, and then gradually resolve these alien forces and integrate them into the Ming system.

The Ming Dynasty was a ruling structure dominated by the Han people and supplemented by multiple ethnic groups. What Zhu Youxiao had to do in the future was to strengthen the identification of multiple ethnic groups with the Ming Dynasty and China, and, under the premise of the continuous rise of firearms and artillery, make them a group that sings and dances, rather than a group that would pick up swords and ride horses to rebel at any time.

The Ming Dynasty was tolerant enough to feed a larger population, but the prerequisite was that people should not even think about rebelling. Anyone who dared to rebel would have the same fate.

die! ! !
"Go ahead and talk to the Queen and ask them to study the classics of the Ming Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said to Liu Ruoyu, "It's time to change those habits and customs from the grassland. Now that you have come to the Ming Dynasty, you must understand the etiquette and rules of the Ming Dynasty."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Hailanzhu and Bumbutai were both pretty, and their high-calorie diet on the grassland also made them look taller than Han girls of the same age or women of other ethnic groups.

However, Zhu Youxiao is not a hungry ghost who cannot move when he sees a woman. Love and affection are too luxuries for Zhu Youxiao.

He doesn't have the time, let alone the energy.

As the ruler of a country, what he loves is the Ming Dynasty, the world, and power. As for other things, it’s okay to have them, but don’t let them be excessive.

Love the country, love the beauty. This multiple-choice question, from the moment he ascended the throne, has already had the answer in his heart. If the Ming Dynasty is overthrown, then what does it mean for him to love?
No!

If it weren't for the future strategy towards the grassland, and the fact that Hailanzhu and Bumbutai could interfere with the Khorchin grassland, Zhu Youxiao would not have allowed them to come to Kunning Palace.

It was true that the two of them entered the Kunning Palace, but they could not even get close to Zhang Yan. On weekdays, it was the female officials of the Kunning Palace who taught them, and after they learned a little, they would go to other places.

People often don’t know how to cherish things that are too easy to get.

"Did the Military Affairs Council submit any latest internal reports on the war situation in Liaodong and Korea?" Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Hailanzhu and Bumbutai who were hugging and crying, then turned around and left without looking back.

"Your Majesty, not yet."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly asked, "Should I send someone to ask?"

"Wait until tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao said as he walked: "In addition to asking about this matter, I also need to ask whether the cold-resistant items dispatched by the Military Affairs Council to Liaodong and Korea are sufficient. Whether it is Liaodong or Korea, people can freeze to death when the winter comes. Several wine-making workshops under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu should allocate another batch of distilled liquor to the Liaodong and Korean fronts. I don't want my Ming warriors to die in this cold winter instead of on the battlefield. This is absolutely not allowed..."

As Zhu Youxiao walked further away, his voice became quieter.

"Sister, are they gone?"

At this moment, Bumbutai, who was holding Hailanzhu, raised her head with tears in the corners of her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"gone."

Hai Lanzhu turned her head to look in the direction where Zhu Youxiao left, but there was a deep sense of loss in the depths of her eyes. She thought they would attract attention, but she never expected that she wouldn't even be able to see him.

"Sister, is he the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

Bumbutai frowned slightly and said to Hailanzhu, "He looks so young. Shouldn't the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be an old man?"

"The one you're talking about is Emperor Wanli."

Hailanzhu replied: "The one just now was Emperor Tianqi. It was he who ascended the throne and defeated the arrogant Jurchens."

"He has also been to Liaodong?"

Bumbutai asked in confusion.

"The Ming Emperor will not leave the capital easily." Hai Lanzhu said: "The Ming Emperor defeated the Jurchens just by staying in this Forbidden City."

"Is it so powerful?"

Bumbutai showed a surprised expression, and her smart eyes stared in the direction where Zhu Youxiao left. At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking...
