Chapter six hundred and seventy seventh good situation

The next day, in the southern part of the Mo, Chahar Khan tent.

Lin Danhan had the imperial edict in his hand, his face was gloomy and changing, and he gritted his teeth!

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty bullies people too much!"

Lin Danhan suddenly threw the imperial edict to the ground and cursed viciously. He was still not satisfied with this, so he pulled out the long knife behind him, slashed on the table desperately, and sweared in his mouth.

Below him was Nikru, the Mongolian national master, with a look of indifferent expression, lowered his head, looked at the ground, his eyes were cold.

"What do you think? What do you do? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to paint the world and control our cavalry. What do you think? What do you do? What do you do!"

Lin Danhan roared angrily and chopped the table desperately.

Nicklu raised his head, his face full of disdain and said nothing.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very strict with his decree and had a strong warning intention. At the same time, he cut off all material support from Chahar, and the tiger and wolf guards were eyeing him. This was the most thorough warning and threat.

There were only two roads before Chahar. One was to listen to the Ming Dynasty obediently, draw a line with Korqin, and divide the desert equally.

This is naturally hard for Lin Danhan, who is determined to unify Mongolia and ancient times and realizes Genghis Khan's ambition.

The second way is to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, which naturally requires a huge price, and even the danger of the destruction of Chahar.

Chahar's current power can indeed annex the extremely weak. Korqin, who cannot relieve the aura, also has to face the strong blow from the Ming Dynasty. The 30,000 tiger and wolf guards who have been training for many years, and the Ming Dynasty has been providing assistance, these are all threats that cannot be ignored for Chahar.

The previous path is naturally good. For Chahar, it also needs to continue to grow slowly and annex the surrounding small tribes until the powerful ones can annex Korqin, unify Mongolian and compete with the Ming Dynasty! But they are unwilling to give up, and just obey the Ming Dynasty so much, which is extremely humiliating!

The latter one is extremely dangerous. Even if Chahar fights hard, even if he wins in the end, it will be a huge victory. It does not mean that the court is, just talking about other small tribes is enough to destroy Chahar!

"Speak!"

Lin Danhan roared angrily and split the table with one knife.

Nicklu turned his head to look at Lin Danhan, who was panting and sweating profusely, and at the same time his eyes were ferocious. He wanted to choose someone and ate him. His face moved and said sideways: "Shan, now we can only follow the will of the Ming emperor."

"You said you want me to listen to that little emperor? Don't think about it!"

Lin Danhan continued to chop the table again and roared in great anger.

Nicklu knew that Lin Danhan could not persuade him now, so he lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

Lin Danhan knew very well what was going on in the desert. They could not compete with the Ming Dynasty. Except for the first road, everything else was dead!

Lin Danhan was in pain and tangled, struggling desperately. Every knife cut was like slashing on Zhu Xu, venting fiercely.

The only one who is in conflict with Korqin's Khan Badali is the only one who is in trouble.

Badali's imperial edict was received earlier than Lin Danhan, and now he is in Shenyang.

"Khan, what should we do? There is no news about Mingren yet."

In Badali's room, a Taiji, namely Beller, walked around, with an anxious face.

Badali was a timid khan, without great ambitions, without ambitions, and as timid as a mouse. After all the Korqin elites were taken away by Huang Taiji, he became more and more incompetent.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head and said with dry mouth: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, as long as Chahar has no movement, everything will be in time."

"Khan, it will be too late to do anything when Chahar takes action!" Taiji almost shouted out, he was really scared.

Although Chahar would be concerned about the pressure from the Ming Dynasty, but Chahar would really annex Korqin at all costs. Even if the Ming Dynasty wiped out Chahar in the future, their Korqin would be gone!

Badali's lips moved and he didn't say anything. He now entrusted all of them to the Ming Dynasty. If there were no Ming Dynasty, their Korqin would have to be swallowed by Chahar.

Shen. Yang Governor's Office.

Sun Chuanting, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Hucheng, Zu Dashou and others are all here and are discussing in detail.

Zhang Wenda has been transferred to the position of Minister of Justice, and Sun Chuanting, the Liaodong Prime Minister, has served as the governor. They have all read Zhu Xu's decree and the words of the internal supervisor.

Xiong Tingbi looked very happy and looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Mr. Sun, the emperor has a good idea! Establish Taining Guard and divide Korqin into eight, forming eight schools. It not only divides Korqin and is easy to control, does not rebel, but also makes a mold on the grassland. In the future, I will unify the desert in the Ming Dynasty, so I will do this as I do, and I will no longer have to worry about border troubles!"

Yang Hucheng, Zu Dashou and others nodded. Korqin is now the meat on the chopping board, and the choice that has no choice really gives them a good opportunity. The only worry is Chahar, which is a huge variable.

If Lin Danhan could not bear the temptation and forcibly annexed Korqin despite the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would have to face a bloody battle.

"If Lin Danhan really dared to resist the order, even if all the tiger and wolf guards were killed in battle, they would have to destroy Chahar. They would never give them a chance to get married!" Zu Dashou's voice was deep, his eyes were covered with cold light.

Unification must not appear on the grassland, and no tribe is allowed to sit in the big picture. This is the Ming Dynasty’s policy on the grassland!

Yang Hucheng also nodded, looked at Sun Chuanting, and asked for his order: "Sir, the 30,000 troops in the Governor's Office have been gathered. If necessary, you can set off now. Please defend Korqin first!"

Although the troops in the Governor's Office are all infantry, if they are equipped with cannons, it will be enough to cause enough damage and losses to the Chahar's cavalry.

Sun Chuanting listened to their words, slid his fingers on the map, and said calmly for a while: "Don't worry, there is Mangui in Tumu Fort, Chahar must hesitate even if he wants to move. We still have time. General Xiong will send 10,000 people first, don't go to Korqin, directly insert it between Korqin and Chahar, and the other soldiers will be ready at any time. Zu Dashou's cavalry is now rushing to Korqin and camping twenty miles away from Korqin. Then he will order Mangui and full of armor. Keep a close eye on Chahar. If there is any abnormal movement, you don't have to ask for your order and directly attack, and do whatever you want!"

The few people present were all old soldiers and generals on the battlefield. They thought about it and felt like they had some realization when they heard this.

Xiong Tingbi said: "Mr. Sun means that Lin Danhan may not dare to move?"

Sun Chuanting laughed and said, "Although this temptation is great enough, Chahar will never take risks even if he only has a hint of clarity!"

Everyone nodded. Even if Chahar moved, they would fight at all costs. Even if they wiped out all the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, they would never allow Chahar to annex Korqin!

Chen Yang's actions naturally cannot be concealed by the cabinet. They do not have the power to mobilize Man Gui, and they all need authorization from the Ministry of War, so they will naturally inform the cabinet.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were also discussing that the matter in the north once again involved their attention.

Since Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China, the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties have been a major concern for the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong even fought against Mongolia for five times, and attacked Mongolia and ancient times, but this situation will continue one after another over time. For two hundred years, Mongolian and ancient forces have been invading the Great Wall, which is a major concern for the Ming Dynasty.

Even now, it is still the case.

"Gemaster Sun, do you think Lin Danhan dares to do anything randomly?"

Bi Ziyan looked at the map on the table with a solemn look on his face.

Sun Chengzong was calm and calm, smiling without even looking at it: "It is the same as daring to the end. Our dynasty will never allow any force that threatens our Ming Dynasty to appear north of the Great Wall!"

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly. The Ming Dynasty's border troubles were the best at this time. The division of Korqin brought opportunities to the Ming Dynasty and also hidden risks.

Bi Ziyan felt a hint of confidence in his heart and said freely, "Our dynasty has controlled Korqin, plus the Tiger and Wolf Guards of Tumu Fort. In a few years, Chahar should be able to be eliminated, and the north should be worry-free..."

Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded, holding the teacup in both hands, looking thoughtful.

Lai Zongdao had already resigned because he was sick. Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, who were only left and right assistants in the cabinet, and Zhu Xu rejected the memorial to increase the cabinet's assistants several times. Both of them vaguely understood that the emperor seemed to have no intention of expanding the number of cabinet ministers and regarded the two as left and right prime ministers.

‘Is it possible that the emperor intends to regain the position of prime minister?’

This was the thought in the two of them, but they didn't say it. They couldn't guess Zhu Xu's thoughts.

"Let's talk about summer grain this year." Bi Ziyan closed the map and said.

Sun Chengzong put down his teacup and said, "The tax grain this year should be further reduced, less than 20 million stones, but sweet potatoes will increase in a large amount, which should be alleviated. The southwest is expected to be around 8 million stones throughout the year, and other places are around 5 million. The key is that Liaodong is still the difference, and the top ten granaries need to be supplemented."

Liaodong is accepting immigrants on a large scale, and those who are cultivated and planted cannot support themselves and need supplies from the court, so the number is getting bigger and bigger.

Bi Ziyan shook his head slightly and said, "In the past, tax and silver were mostly corrupted and consumed by local governments. If the General Administration and the Criminal Prison Department were fully constructed, perhaps the tax and grain would increase this year may not necessarily increase."

Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Except for Hebei, Shandong, other places are extremely slow and have no results. I am afraid that you and I will leave Beijing too."

Not long after Bi Ziyan returned to Beijing, he understood in his heart that without the strong pressure from the emperor or the court, the local willingness to innovate would be extremely low. Even if they went out and did not have the emperor's prestige, they would have little effect.

After pondering, Bi Ziyan said, "Okay, the six southwest provinces can be temporarily suspended. For the other provinces, we will personally go to supervise them."

This was agreed upon, and Sun Chengzong said again: "Feige from Jiang and Su passed on a letter. The emperor gave up Huang Liji and asked Xu Jie to deal with the salt merchants in Suzhou. It must be that the emperor was already in Yingtian and wanted to do something."

Bi Ziyan also knew it and said, "I am not worried about Ying Tian and Jiang Su. The emperor should have wanted to cut the mess quickly. I am worried about the war in the south now."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he frowned.

Jiang and Su were the Ming Dynasty's money bag, and more than 60% of the imperial court's money and food came from here, so how could it be a big fight? On the contrary, the two wars prepared by the south were good to be defeated. If it was defeated, it would be an extremely serious blow to the morale of the entire Ming Dynasty and the emperor's prestige, and would also affect the "Jingzheng New Policy".

However, Sun Chengzong quickly smiled and said with confidence, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to Liaodong, the south has been making arrangements. The navy has devoted a lot of effort. With the emperor's character, he will not do things that are not sure about, so don't worry."

Bi Ziyan nodded. He wanted to be stable. In his opinion, the entire Ming Dynasty needed stability and wars in the south should be avoided. However, in terms of military affairs, he always spoke cautiously.

Bi Ziyan thought for a while and whispered softly, "Royal Money House..."

Sun Chengzong heard it, but did not answer.

The Royal Money Bank holds everything about Huitong Trading Company before, with tens of millions of deposits, and money banks all over the country now hold the power to mint and issue coins!

Such great power is uneasy in the hands of a wise and powerful emperor. If a mediocre or even stupid emperor is enough to drag a country into a desperate situation!

However, both of them knew very well that this royal money house belonged to the emperor. They could covet it, but they must not touch it!

At this moment, Zhu Xu was still reading the memorial to the Ministry of Revenue by the president of Huitong Trading Bank. This memorial was really interesting.

Through the data from major commercial banks, he roughly calculated the amount of salt from Lianghuai and silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou gathered in Jinling, and then went north for three years, and then conducted some seemingly simple research on the economic situation of the entire Southern Zhili.

This kind of research was not available in the Ming Dynasty. Something similar to statistics was nothing but drawing pictures.

This was considered timely for Zhu Xu. Although this was not accurate enough and there was no big data, it still gave Zhu Xu a lot of information and ideas.

From the quantity, time, rhythm, etc., Zhu Xu can see many things that he cannot see or even imagine.

"Interesting..." Zhu Xu said with a smile while eating pastries.

This memorial also describes the canal, saying that the imperial court has newly built water conservancy and added hundreds of new towns on both sides of the canal. It also describes the people of the Ming Dynasty who liked Tibetan silver, which reduced the market's silver price, forcing prices to rise and people's livelihood to suffer.

It’s easy to say about the canal, but the “Tiangyin” incident also made Zhu Xu think deeply.

Is it because the Ming Dynasty lacked silver or because of the Tibetans of the people? If the imperial court issued too many new coins, would it cause new and uncontrollable inflation?

Cao Huachun stood quietly not far behind Zhu Xu, and as for the Hai Lanzhu sisters, they were chatting in the room upstairs.

"Han Yanzhi..."

Zhu Xu looked at the last signature and nodded slightly.

In Zhu Xu's opinion, this memorial was a bit late, but for most people in the Ming Dynasty, it should be the first time they have seen it, and it should have a certain impact.

At this time, there were actually many enlightened people in the aristocratic clans, and Zhu Xu had already seen a lot. However, how can we open a gap in these two thousand years of barriers?

“Sea trade…”
