My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 451 Room to play

Gao Lin's proposal was perfect.

Zhu Houcong decided to act accordingly for the time being.

"By the way, Your Majesty, when I was chatting with the official from the Ministry of Rites, he told me some news about the north -"

Gao Lin was silent for a while, hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said to Zhu Houcong.

"speak--"

As expected, the emperor was extremely concerned about affairs in the north.

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, I felt the emperor's serious gaze.

Gao Lin replied.

"The Ministry of Rites told us that a group of Jurchen sailors recently revealed a piece of news when they were selling furs here, saying that the Mongols recaptured Genghis Khan's sacred objects after the Western Expedition, and were preparing to worship Genghis Khan in the Babai Chamber. Convene the Kuriltai Conference to discuss the rebuilding of the Mongol Empire——"

Hearing this, Zhu Houcong stopped moving in his hands.

During the brief resurgence of the Mongol Empire, the scale of their invasion was not as small as before.

The unification of Mongolia lasted for more than ten years. Dayan Khan was born, unified the Mongolian grasslands, expelled the Central Asian tribes, and rebuilt the Northern Yuan Empire.

The internal fighting in the Mongolian grasslands was more direct and fierce than the internal fighting in the Ming Dynasty.

"Have the Mongols harassed border markets recently?"

The large-scale invasion of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry reached its peak during the Jiajing Dynasty.

Today's Mongolian Empire has suddenly changed its national policy of restoring the Yuan Empire. It is deeply felt that Ming Dynasty's combat effectiveness has recovered too quickly. If Mongolia wants to go south, it will probably have to pay a very heavy price.

Anda Khan claimed to have led 400,000 cavalry to attack the capital, and then returned with a large plunder around the capital.

And Western invaders from Central Asia, such as Ye Xian and others, are also a huge threat.

But like Akito, the Mongols themselves had many, many enemies besides this powerful opponent in the south.

The northern frontier troubles faced by the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties were completely different from those faced before during the Chenghua and Hongzhi years.

In the original history, after Chenghua exhausted its national power to attack on all sides and eliminated the four separatist forces, Hongzhi rested and recuperated for twenty years to fill the treasury, and Zhengde reorganized its armaments in the fifteenth year, the Ming Dynasty's national power also began to recover.

There were wars and peace between the Ming and Mongolia. From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to its demise, the times of peace between the two sides were numbered.

Perhaps compared to going south to reconquer the Ming Dynasty, the Western Expedition might be a good choice.

Although the Mongols once again unified the Mongolian Plateau, everyone was thinking about the colorful world of the Central Plains. The Khans' dream, without exception, was to conquer China southward and rebuild the Yuan Dynasty, rather than to conquer westward and establish some Mongol empire.

Even during the Tumubao Revolution, the size of Ye Xian's army was far inferior. They unified Eastern and Western Mongolia, conquered Oara, forced them to move westward, defeated Yisi Mayin and Huoshai successively, and defeated the right-wing separatist forces Yebu La and Manchu. The Mongol Empire was re-established by Dayan Khan of Dulai Agulehu.

There was absolutely no such thing in history.

The resurgent Mongol Empire and the Ming Dynasty, which had just taken a breath, began to fight each other again, which eventually led to both sides being wiped out by the Jurchens who rose in the northeast.

Destiny will never simply favor one party.

Obviously, there have been some subtle changes in history.

The Ming Dynasty can have a revival, and Mongolia can naturally have one too.

They looked west again, at the Central Asian barbarians who had invaded the territory of their great Genghis Khan.

Zhu Houcong sighed.

He did not expect the series of chain reactions caused by the rapid increase in Mingting's strength.

The Mongols changed their original strategy, and even took the initiative to move their left and right royal tents westward in order to avoid possible attacks by the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Lin's answer was not what Zhu Houcong expected.

"No - according to many businessmen in Shanxi and Shaanxi, the tranquility of the northern border cities is rare in a century."

Isn’t it rare for hundreds of years? The Mongols probably accounted for one-third of the invasion of border cities in the past dynasties, and most of the rest were carried out by border generals in order to make money.

After the Ming Dynasty rectified the military discipline of the Nine Borders and began to repair the wealthy warlords in various places.

The trade between Mongols and Ming people in border markets was rarely infringed.

The Mongolian cavalry no longer attacked the caravan camps at this time.

For these businessmen, it is simply great news. The best times that have never been seen before are coming!

As for the remaining Mongolian thieves and horse bandits from the Ming Dynasty, the escorts hired by the merchants themselves and the Mongolian tribes involved in the trade can handle them themselves.

"God willing--"

Zhu Houcong sighed.

But he did not give up the idea of ​​using troops against the north.

On the contrary, this further strengthened his determination to accomplish his mission in one battle, to devote all the power of the world to mobilizing hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of civilians in the north to completely eliminate the troubles in the north.

If the Mongols were really allowed to reopen the Silk Road on the grasslands.

Relive the glory of Genghis Khan.

If the Ming Dynasty covets the comfort of the past few years and slacks off in preparing for war, then it will be difficult to predict how things will develop.

"If the Ming army goes north, can the Jurchens and the Liaodong army complete the task of crossing the mountains and outflanking Mongolia to the west."

Zhu Houcong stood up.

Gao Lin's answer made him feel happy.

"It only takes half a month for the Jurchens to be ready to go out with the army."

So now there's only one question left.

"The Ming army on the west route will come out of Yumen to cut off the Mongolians' retreat to the west. The monk soldiers in Uzang can help our Ming Dynasty——"

"Or he may become our enemy, and then be killed by the Ming army in the Western Expedition like in the early years of Hongwu, and the old and weak will be killed, and the young and strong will be plundered and raped."

……

East China Sea, Tanegashima.

"When I return to my country, I will certainly confer titles on you so that you can become the pillars of our Ryukyu Kingdom."

Inside the cave, accompanied by the mixed light of the torch, the long table in the center was filled with jewelry plundered by the wanderers from all directions, sparkling in the firelight.

Wandering warriors drank wine here.

The great pirate Gao Chuanzhen held a skull wine glass and sat on a huge animal skin throne snatched from a cannibal tribe. This skull was naturally obtained from the head of the previous savage chief who sat on this throne.

He looked with interest at the young man in front of him who was selling his dream of regaining the royal family to everyone.

Like him, most pirates only looked at the young man who claimed to be the heir of the Shanbei Kingdom with a joking look.

Only a few people who are really dazzled by interests will be tempted by the theoretical land and titles he promised.

Everyone knows who is standing behind the King of Ryukyu.

The Ming people did not hesitate to rent a ship from North Korea and sell them firearms at a high price, and then went to Luzon to recruit Western mercenaries for them. All fools knew that the Ming people were determined to help the Ryukyu people consolidate their rule to show their respect for the Emperor Mingzu. Completely obey the training.

After all, theoretically, Akito has basically fought the country without conquering.

First, Zhu Di conquered Annan, and now he sent troops to control North Korea. Some time ago, a certain daimyo tried to go to Luo in the name of the shogunate's unrighteousness, holding the emperor hostage, and not paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

There is really not much room left for future generations to play.
