The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 776
When Teng Jisi was in a critical situation, he immediately said without hesitation: "If you have any orders from the general, please tell me."

Qin Yiming gestured to a civil servant with his side, "This is Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Officials."

The Lord Zhang immediately got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Chahar, you know that the Khalkha tribe has been entrenched in Mobei for a long time. If we want to repel them, this battle is bound to be protracted. The court means, If the army wants to attack the enemy outside the Great Wall for many years, it is better to farm on the spot."

Teng Jisi was stunned for a moment, "Garrification? What can be grown in this barren land beyond the Great Wall?"

"Ah, Your Highness doesn't know something. In recent years, there are many kinds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in the pass. Even if these things are planted outside the Great Wall, they can still have a good harvest."

Teng Jisi said indifferently: "It is what the army needs, so let's plant it."

"Your Highness is indeed straightforward. However, the Chahar Department has never been involved in farming. What the court means is that in order to teach the people how to plant, some officials from the Household Department must be sent to Chahar."

Teng Jisi didn't realize it for a while, and was in a daze when he heard Lord Zhang continue: "The military and luggage used by the army also need to build more warehouses for storage. The road outside the Great Wall is difficult, and post roads and wooden rails have to be built. Chahar Civil servants recruited by various ministries also need to be managed uniformly.

"Therefore, the officials in charge of treasury, the officials of the Ministry of Industry and craftsmen in road construction, and the officials in charge of civilian husbands all have to be appointed by the imperial court. To manage these officials, the Ministry of Officials must send someone else..."

Teng Jisi finally heard the smell, and said in a deep voice: "Is the imperial court going to send me an official to Chahar?"

Mr. Zhang smiled unabated, "Well, you can also say that."

"Dreaming!" Teng Jite jumped up first, and shouted angrily, "Chahar belongs to my elder brother! Every citizen, every cow and sheep, and even every blade of grass here belong to my elder brother! How can Ming Dynasty interfere? Come in?!"

Mang Gudai also yelled: "My brother's current territory is all hard work, don't think that the Ming Dynasty can do whatever he wants by giving the title of King Chahar to the elder brother! Without you, the elder brother is still King Chahar!"

Lord Zhang looked at Teng Jisi, "What does His Highness mean?"

The latter grimaced and didn't speak, just snorted heavily, "Hmph!"

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhang immediately put away his smiling face, "His Royal Highness King Chahar wants the court to send troops to help you, but he doesn't understand the court's difficulties. If that's the case, let the Sunite department deal with the Khalkhas themselves."

Harhu slapped the wooden table hard, "Hmph, do you think we will be afraid of the Khalkha tribe without the help of the Ming army?!"

Lord Zhang squinted at him and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

Teng Jite said coldly: "Ming people don't talk dark words. It is indeed difficult for us to repel the Khalkhas under the current situation. However, we are all descendants of Temujin. If it is really impossible, the whole family will belong to Mobei. This Chahar Grassland will definitely be entrusted to my elder brother, it is better than being ruled by the Ming Dynasty."

Qin Yiming said with a blank expression on his side: "My five thousand white-armed troops have passed through the Yanmen Pass. There is plenty of food and supplies, and the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow."

Ten Jite frowned and looked over, "What do you want to say?"

"Hey, brother, they don't understand you when you're so reserved." Qin Zuoming grinned, turned to Teng Jite and said loudly, "Let me explain to you. My brother said that you, Sunit, betrayed Daming at the beginning of the month. At the end of the month, our [-] troops will be able to celebrate the great victory by the shore of Hulun Lake!"

"What, what big victory?"

"Naturally, it is a great victory in countering the rebellion."

The Teng Jisi brothers turned pale when they heard this.You know, now Daming's wooden track has been repaired to Zhamutu, that is to say, the 5000 men and horses of the Baigan Army can reach the hinterland of Chahar in two days!

They are also very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

In the past two years, they have heard almost every day that the Ming army won more with less and wiped out tens of thousands or even 10,000+ Qing troops.In the previous episode, the officers of the Sunite Department who escorted grain and grass into Shanxi saw with their own eyes the scene where the white pole army wiped out He Luohui's more than [-] troops.

Several people firmly believe that the Ming army can wipe out Chahar within a month.

There was a dead silence in the felt tent.

Qin Yiming coughed lightly, "Zuo Ming, don't be presumptuous." Then he said to Teng Jisi, "His Royal Highness King Chahar is a sensible person. With the support of the Ming court, you can sit firmly on the throne and enjoy glory and wealth for generations. Without the support of the court , Although you can be beautiful for a while, you are rootless duckweed. But if there are any incompetent children and grandchildren, the Chahar Grassland will immediately change its owner.

"The imperial court appointed officials to come here. Although you have shared some of your power, it will also make the various ministries of Chahar more prosperous and powerful. Both the population and wealth in your hands will far exceed what they are today. The people of all ministries will also respect them more. king.

"Whether you want to be your grass-headed king with trepidation, or be a famous vassal king with peace of mind, I believe His Highness has his own discretion."

Teng Jisi's complexion changed a few times, he was embarrassed and ordered to hold a banquet for the envoy first.That night, the brothers discussed again until midnight, weighing repeatedly.

The next day, King Chahar finally nodded to Qin Yiming and the others, "The Chahar Ministry follows the imperial court's arrangement, please send troops as soon as possible."

……

North Korea, Pyongyang city.

Li Ying looked at the confidants in front of him, frowned and said, "The Celestial Dynasty already has [-] troops stationed in the south of Huanghai Road, how can it add another [-] troops?"

The status of Daming in North Korea today is comparable to that when Wanli aided North Korea to fight against the Japanese, two thousand naval infantry first landed and set up camp, and then sent someone to notify Lord Ren Xing.Moreover, in order not to leak the news, the North Koreans were not informed of the purpose of the trip.

Li Ying's leading minister, Jin Zhengqing, said, "Your Highness, this time the Celestial Army came straight to Pyongyang after landing..." He took a deep breath, "Could it be to help Li Zhen deal with us? ?”

Everyone in the room was shocked.Li Ying pointed at the people in front of him and said tremblingly: "I said to send three thousand soldiers to support the Northern Expedition of the Celestial Dynasty. You must say that the food and pay are not enough. Now the Celestial Dynasty must think that Li Zhen is sincere, so they sent troops to help him!"

North Korea does not have wooden tracks, canned food, and four-wheeled carriages. The cost of sending troops overseas is astonishing. The food and supplies of 3000 troops far exceed the domestic army of [-].

Jin Zhengqing hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, it's not too late to make up for it. Right now, you can't fight Li Zhen decisively, so you will send 3000, no, [-] troops to the front line to ask for forgiveness from the heaven."

"Hey... that's all. Jin Aiqing, you personally lead people to meet the Heavenly Army."

"Yes."

A few days later, in the south of Pyongyang, Liu Guoxuan patted Kim Jong-kyung on the shoulder with a smile on his face. There must be many victories!"

Jin Zhengqing said with a bitter face: "General Liu, it's not...these troops and food are for..."

"Don't worry, when I send a memorandum to Nanjing, the imperial court will definitely allocate these soldiers and horses to me." He smiled slyly again, "I will definitely speak a lot of good words for you in front of the Holy One, and overwhelm Li The limelight."
