The once cold and quiet Rouyi Hall in the west of the Wu Tower finally regained its popularity. Zhu Gaoxu began to court in Fengtianmen and came here to work, and began to deal with the affairs of the court that was delayed during the Northern Tribunal. However, the problems in the north were obviously not over.

A few days later, Qi Tai came to the Rouyi Temple and talked about the news about the Tatars.

Qi Tai sat on the stool opposite the table and said, "The Lord sent envoy Chen Xiang to the Tatars. The Tatars's magistrate Alutai then wrote a letter, leaving Taining Guard, and sent it to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division. Cao Yi, the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, reported to the Ministry of War, so the matter was reported from the Ministry of War. I have written the inscription book. When I went to Wuying Hall today, I heard that the Lord was in the Rouyi Hall, so I simply came to see him and reported to the Emperor in person."

Zhu Gaoxu was reading a letter printed by Alutai, which was written in two words, and the Chinese text should be written by his translation.

The content of the letter is relatively simple. The general meaning is that according to the agreement between the Tatars last time, the Ming Dynasty Emperor promised to let the remnants of the Tatars go back; then Alutai then surrendered to the emperor and accepted the enthronement of the Ming Emperor. Now the remnants of the Tatars have arrived in Peiping, but were detained by the Ming government. Alutai asked the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to issue an order to release the remnants of the remnants back, and then discuss the matter of surrendering to the emperor.

At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui walked to the door. Zhu Gaoxu looked up and waved his hand.

Wang Gui bent down and said, "Emperor, Hou Zuo Envoy asked for a visit."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Call him in."

Wang Gui said: "I obey the order."

After a while, Hou Hai kowtowed at the door and came in to give a big gift. Zhu Gaoxu asked him to sit on the stool, and then pushed Alutai's letter to the opposite side of the table.

Hou Hai received the letter and handed a report to the eunuch Wang Gui, saying, "Sir, Guo Ang received the news from the Urianha people, Huang Yan's news. Huang Yan secretly told the Tatars that the Tatars had detained our envoys."

Qi Tai's voice immediately said: "Arutai means to use the Ming envoy to threaten us to release people?"

Hou Hai said: "These grandsons... I think the Tatars are not trustworthy, and the court really doesn't need to talk to them."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said, "Why did Arutai send a letter through the Urianha people of Tainingwei?"

Hou Hai had just spoken, and was in a concealed expression. At this time, he hurriedly said: "Return to the emperor, some Tatars in the Korchin tribe are stationed in the north of Tainingwei, close to the Liaodong Dusi."

Zhu Gaoxu hummed quietly, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

Qi Tai's voice said: "The original emperor decided to make a strategy to the north, and wanted to use the Oirats to restrain the Tatars, and tried to restore peace on the eastern border and increase the exchange of trade. If the exchange personnel made any mistakes this time, the early strategy would have to be abandoned."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The Qi tribe's words are reasonable, and I didn't expect Alutai to do this. The Oirats in the west have increased pressure on the Tatar tribes, but Alutai does not intend to stabilize the east and avoid tensions between the two sides? In addition, Alutai uses Tainingwei to deliver letters, which is too blatant and obviously can easily anger the Ming court."

Qi Tai said: "What the Tatars believe most is force."

Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "It seems that way at first glance, and there are fewer twists and turns." He paused and said, "If the winner can be decided quickly."

The hall suddenly became quiet and suddenly became quiet. It seemed that what I could say was over. The key was how the court responded, but the decision could not be settled for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu remembered the meeting before Chen Xiang left. Chen Xiang said that he was ready to be loyal to the country; and Zhu Gaoxu also told him that if things go back and forth, he would first try to save his life and escape without being obsessed with the enthronement of Alutai.

"Issuing an order to release all the remnants of Tatars in Peiping." Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and said decisively, "If you send a letter to Alutai, you will say that the Ming Dynasty is willing, but the matter of enfeoffing Alutai is a consensual and there is no need to force it. Ask Alutai to release Chen Xiang back and to report on the enfeoffment of the vassal later."

Both of them were stunned for a moment and said, "I will receive the order."

Hou Hai finally couldn't help but say, "If we let people go first, will Alutai release people? I look at these people, it's not trustworthy at all."

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the letter signed by Alutai on the table, "He didn't agree, it was written in black and white. I want to see how shameless he is. Besides, the Ming Dynasty wants to take revenge and there is no need to kill hostages. It's useless to keep the remnants of Tatars now, so it's better to let others go openly. Let's see what we know in the battle, and the one who died is not the remnants of Tatars."

Hou Hai bowed and said, "The Lord is wise."

Qi Tai asked cautiously: "The Lord wants to re-emerge the Tatars?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The people of Korqin are not on Tainingwei? They are the most powerful allies of Alutai. They have been jumping up and down recently and can attack them. I don't care whether Alutai lets go or not, and eliminate this force first."

Qi Tai advised with kind words: "Weapons are important matters of the country, and the emperor should use them with caution. The places where the Urianha tribes are active are indeed close to Liaodong, which is convenient for attack. However, Taining Guards and Doyan Guard cavalry are brave and good at fighting, and with Korqin people behind their backs, I am afraid this battle will not be easy."

"With the flintlock rifle, the battle formation is different from before." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The two ministers didn't say anything for a moment, and they seemed to have just remembered the "Xingguang Gun" improved by Ma Xingguang.

Hou Hai spoke: "I heard that Xingguang gun only changed the mechanism of ignition and firing."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "There are also tactics, different weapons and tactics. For example, cavalry cannot be arranged as dense as infantry."

He stood up from his chair and took two steps and said, "Do a few things together. Send a minister to Peiping, change Peiping to Beijing, establish the six ministries and five temples in Beizhili, which belongs to the Beijing office, and presides over the change of the supply method of military supplies on the nine sides. At the same time, he sent generals to accompany him, investigated the smuggled generals in Liaodong, and sent Cao Yi to Nuergandus. Then find a reason to attack Tainingwei and Korqin people."

Hou Hai thought for a while and said, "When the Emperor was in Peking, he ordered the Fuyu Guard to move south, and in name, the three guards exchanged pastures, Taining Guards and Duoyan Guards should move north. However, it was believed that the Taining Guards and other departments were unwilling to move the place, so the Emperor then set up another territory in the south to station the Fuyu Guards. This time the imperial court forced the Taining Guard to move the tent and land. If it was rejected, it would be famous."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "That's it. I can quickly use it when I left one. Then, in the name of the Tatars seizing my envoy for no reason, they attacked the Korchin tribe."

After hearing this, Qi Tai bowed and said, "I should discuss with the ministers such as Xiabutang to let them understand the fact that the Tatars went against their words and the great ties between the imperial court."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "It's great. When you see Qian Xun, you ask him to let the Nanchang Iron Factory immediately, and the various bureaus and institutes will mass-produce the "Xingguang Gun" and let the soldiers of the Beijing camp re-practice the tactics."

The two of them worshiped: "I will obey the order."

The two ministers thanked each other and gave up, and did not mention the candidates for civil and military personnel to go north this time. Zhu Gaoxu was also thinking about this matter.

The first candidate he thought of was Liu Sheng, because Liu Sheng was good at using firearms and there was no big problem with marching and formation, but Liu Sheng was still in Japan. Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, was best to be the deputy general. Wu Gao was familiar with the customs and climate of Liaodong, and was cautious, but not good at attacking.

There are many candidates who can be the leader, including Sheng Yong and Qu Neng, who are more than enough to host such local battles.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a long time, and suddenly thought that once the Peking Administrator was promoted to Beijing, he would naturally directly take charge of the eastern defense line on the nine sides, and he needed a general to be in charge of the Northern Zhili; if the "Liaodong Battle" was replaced, the behavior of suspicion of the general would be too obvious. The characteristic of this person is of course loyalty and reliable.

In the past, Taizu trusted his son most, so the person who was in charge of Peking was King Yan Zhu Di. It turns out that the vassal kings were also unreliable, and they were more likely to dominate the officials in their status. On the contrary, the nobles must be controlled by the five temples in Beijing.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu also trusted Sheng Yong and Qu Neng and others, but the most confidant was obviously the commander of the three guards of the Han Palace. Among the commanders of the three guards, Wang Bin and Wei Da served under his command when Zhu Gaoxu became the prince of Gaoyang. Among them, Wei Da and Zhao Wang Gaosui had a marriage, and Wang Bin was the one who was willing to block the gun for Zhu Gaoxu.

Wang Bin... Zhu Gaoxu silently recited his name in his heart, not doubting his loyalty, but was a little worried about his ability.

Zhu Gaoxu recalled Wang Bin's past battles and thought of the Battle of Luorong in the "Battle of Crime". At that time, Wu Gao used his superior troops to defeat the two groups of the Crime Army entering Guangxi. Wang Bin was deceived by Wu Gao and disobeyed, but suffered a loss. Fortunately, he was able to maintain his rules and regulations under the disadvantage of several times his troops. Wang Bin also had a general who assisted him, Chen Zhen, who was born in the Yunnan Guard.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately became scheming. The three old acquaintances, Wang Bin, Duke Dingguo, Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, and Chen Zhen, may be able to barely meet Zhu Gaoxu's various requirements.

However, it is even more difficult for civil officials to handle. First of all, it cannot be an old party that violates the new policy. Secondly, the status and qualifications cannot be too low, otherwise it will be difficult to handle things and it will be difficult to preside over the officialdom of Beizhili.

Most of the real new party members have very little qualifications and have not been reused for a few years. Zhu Gaoxu first thought of Qi Tai and Gao Xianning. However, the people who presided over the reform of Beizhili hold great power and are far away from the capital, so they will definitely gain connections in the local area.

Qi Tai Gao Xianning, the two men, are already the most talked people in the capital because of their ability, because they are older than the chiefs and officials of the old mansion of the King of Han. If they have prestige in the north, they are afraid that they will not lose their sternness. Zhu Gaoxu believed them very much, but he found that after he became the emperor, his mind had indeed changed a lot.

For a moment, Zhu Gaoxu was alone and remembered something old.

Was Zhu Di sincere when he promised Gao Xu to be the crown prince? After all, Zhu Di really didn't like Gao Chi. There was a speculation that Yongle had eliminated too many old parties in the early days, and several advisers from the Yan Prince's Mansion were the only ones, which caused Zhu Di to obey their opinions; and Daoyan, Jin Zhong and others were all those who supported Gao Chi.
