In the imperial study, the cabinet ministers came together with news from the north.

As soon as the Minister of Hubu arrived, he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! We also sent 30,000 troops to attack Ningxia first. Ningxia Mansion hurriedly fought and lost to the Oara offensive. Now the Oara army of 30,000 troops is advancing in Ningxia Prefecture.

As people's land is being plundered everywhere, I request your Majesty to immediately send soldiers to Ningxia to destroy the Wala."

"Get up." Zhou Yu frowned slightly and looked at all the cabinet ministers who were kneeling. He glanced in the direction of Cheng Jing and said, "My lord, please give me a seat for all of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Zhou Yu glanced at these ministers: "As long as you work wholeheartedly for the Ming Dynasty and me, what does mere kindness mean? Don't talk about it. You tell me that a 30,000-strong army can disturb Ningxia Mansion.

, tell me whether this Wala is too strong or our Ming Dynasty’s border troops are too weak?”

The cabinet ministers were all silent, why didn't they know the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's border troops?

Today's border troops are completely different from those of more than ten years ago. They are just paper tigers that can be broken by just poking. And now the strongest border army is directly north of the capital. But now the Oara army bypasses that side and chooses to attack.

There was a bug in Ningxia Mansion, which allowed Ye first to gain a channel to directly attack the Central Plains.

Zhou Yu took out a piece of paper and asked: "The army of Wala supported the person suspected of being the late emperor and entered Ningxia. This person suspected of being the late emperor is that bastard from Wala who came out of nowhere? What is Wala going to do?

?”

The cabinet ministers twitched at the corners of their mouths. What does it mean to be suspected of being the former emperor? It is basically the former emperor's Baozong. If they don't participate in this royal matter, they can still acquiesce to the death of the Baozong said by the Queen Mother, but the premise of all this must be given.

The Baozong could not appear in the capital and could not appear in this court. If that person suddenly appeared, it would not be a question of whether he wanted to admit it or not. He would have to admit it even if he pinched his nose and said he was resurrected.

A minister cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, maybe this person is trying to use this fake person to establish a second court in the Ming Dynasty. According to the spies' reports, the army seems to have plans to march to the south of the Yangtze River. The minister guessed that maybe he is also planning to take that person first.

I was sent to Nanjing, but I too underestimated the Han people in the first place. Who in the world doesn’t know that Baozong is dead, so how could he be fooled by a mere fake."

"Jiangnan? Nanjing?"

Zhou Yu recalled the map and nodded slowly: "It is possible. Now that our Ming army has assembled on the border fortress, there is no army in the hinterland that can resist the Oara cavalry. If Oara really breaks through Ningxia Prefecture and enters the Central Plains, then

There are not many natural dangers that can stop the Wala army, maybe we can actually break through and reach Nanjing first."

"But if we only have an army of 30,000, we underestimate the Ming soldiers. I sent a message to General Shi and Prince Consort Xue, instructing them to mobilize all available Jiangnan troops and go north to block the Oara offensive. Do not let the Oara army survive."

The generals guarding the Yangtze River, Xuanfu, Datong, and other places in the north were ordered to strictly guard and act carefully so that Wala would not find any opportunities to take advantage of it."

As soon as Zhou Yu's arrangement was announced, all the ministers in the cabinet stood up to receive the order. But just after the order came, some ministers were startled and looked up at Zhou Yu in shock. When they raised their heads, they met Zhou Yu's

Deep eyes.

Zhou Yu said calmly: "Ai Qing, do you have any other ideas?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I think your Majesty's arrangement is the best."

Zhou Yu looked at the memorial in his hand again. He first wanted to fight from the north to the south within the Ming Dynasty with only 30,000 people. It was impossible to do this. There was only one prerequisite for this, which was that the Baozong in his hand could be obtained.

It is recognized everywhere, but how could such a thing happen?

Now the Ming Dynasty court has announced to the world that Baozong will die. If he wants to resurrect from the dead, someone with more power must come out to speak and stand up. Before that, even if Baozong personally stood outside the city gate and continued to knock on the door, it would be

If it is of no use, everyone everywhere will use all their strength to resist.

Although we have only led 30,000 troops this time, it does not mean that only these 30,000 troops are available. The reason why we did not mobilize more troops is probably because we feel that this operation may not be successful. More importantly, we must be prepared to escape.

Hana and Arachiin.

Wala seems to be a unified force with a great khan and a prime minister, but in fact it is a combination of tribes, and it depends on whose fist is bigger.

If the Great Khan's fist is big, then the Great Khan is the real Great Khan. If the fist of other tribes is big, then the Great Khan is the nominal Great Khan. He has purely learned the rules of the Han people but has not fully learned them...

Ye Xian's fist is the biggest now. Whether it is the Great Khan Totuo Buhua or the Prime Minister Alazhiyuan, they actually want to kill Ye Xian. The voice of Wala is actually Ye Xian's voice.

The three parties jointly attacked the Ming Dynasty and gained the greatest benefit. Tuotuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan not only did not benefit at all, but also lost a lot of things. And the cause of all this was what Ye Xian brought about by attacking the Ming Dynasty.

To make Totuo Buhua and Ara Zhiyuan not angry, Totuo Buhua had understood this a long time ago, so in the previous battles, he just worked hard and did not attack at all.

Alazhiyuan was blinded by the temporary benefits. Of course he would not admit it and secretly gave him good conditions and practical things. But after the defeat in the Juyongguan battle and even himself being captured

Those are nothing. Not to provoke Daming has become the most sincere thought in Alazhiyuan's heart.

However, this is not the most important point, because the war with the Ming Dynasty led to the interruption of the mutual trade between Oara and the Ming Dynasty, which also made the voices of dissatisfaction among the tribes in Oara louder and louder. If the previous war went smoothly, everyone would naturally benefit, but now many people have

They clearly knew that continuing to attack the Ming Dynasty would bring no benefits, so they were no longer willing to continue the war with the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they wanted to quickly resume mutual trade.

Don't look at it as just a small issue of trade between the two sides, but such a small issue has a huge impact on Wala. If the time is delayed longer, Wala will be in chaos first without Daming doing more.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You probably know this well first, so in order to prevent your back route from being cut off and to prevent yourself from being copied by those dissatisfied tribes, before you are sure that you can open the south passage

We simply don't dare to bring more troops into the Great Wall.

First of all, I have a clear understanding of the current internal situation of Ming Dynasty. The troops he can use now are only more than 100,000. It is courage to make a desperate move, but if you want to be dumped by Ming Dynasty and the people behind you, you will be a fool.

A few days later, Ye first took Baozong to the foot of Datong City again. This time, he chose a day with a good view to dress Baozong neatly, and also made a special set for Baozong.

Emperor's outfits, such as dragon robes, coats, luxurious carriages, and eunuchs, but this time I still found nothing.

Guo Deng naturally recognized Emperor Baozong. I don’t know if he recognized it, but also his generals and Jin Yiwei. However, Guo Deng still pretended to be invisible. He, Guo Dingxiang and Guo Zhongwu, were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

It's your Majesty, how can it be possible for a mere fake to be given away?

He opened the door and surrendered to the enemy. He knew how he got his hereditary earldom. He was surrounded by great powers, and he was the leader of the Ming Dynasty. His son was highly regarded in the Suwei Palace. He also joined that working group and became the emperor's confidant. So

How can we tolerate fake goods in front of us?

Guo Deng also remembers the cemetery for the Ming Dynasty heroes that was built immediately. Now many soldiers who died for the Ming Dynasty in the previous battle are buried in it. Guo Deng even went to pay homage and burn incense in person. Every time he thinks of the endless forgotten monuments neatly arranged,

Tombstone Guo Deng looked at the guy below the city with hatred and anger in his eyes.

"Raise the bow!"

As Uncle Xiangwu shouted, all the archers on the city wall took aim at the carriages below the city. As soon as they heard the order again, they could immediately draw their bows and release arrows.

Upon seeing this, Baozong hurriedly hid in the carriage, stopped showing up, turned around and ran back to Ye Xian.

"Fake goods are fakes. Do you think that we are all fools when you lead thieves to knock on the door again and again?" Guo Deng snorted and waved his hand for the archer to put down his bow: "I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, will not stand like this fake in front of me.

They were all unable to stand still, so they all braced themselves to prevent the bandits from attacking the city."

"yes!"

The guarding eunuch looked at the high-spirited Guo Deng who kept his mouth shut and said nothing. Even though he recognized that the person who just appeared was the orthodox emperor, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty and one of the most trusted people in the royal family, naturally he could only stand with the emperor.

On the battle line, otherwise the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei behind him would probably draw their swords and kill him immediately.

Not long after, Totobuhua and the envoys from Alazhiyuan arrived in the capital in a hurry, and Rang Ye started to get anxious.

The Ministry of Rites sent people to receive the two envoys and accepted the tributes brought by the envoys, including cattle, sheep, horses, and beauties.

The purpose of coming here is to explain and seek peace. Explain that it is not the intention of Oara to attack Ningxia first this time. It is to lead his tribe to make his own decision first. However, they dare not speak out when Oara is too powerful.

They could quietly help Ming Dynasty do something so that they could not mobilize all their troops to attack Ming Dynasty. I hope the emperor of Ming Dynasty can forgive them.

As for asking for peace, it is even simpler. As before, I professed my willingness to pay tribute every year and hoped that Ming Dynasty could open a mutual market.

But everyone knows what is going on when it comes to making offerings. The tributes that Ming Dynasty received may not necessarily be many, but the rewards given out are definitely quite a lot. Offerings to the Ming Dynasty is also equivalent to an alternative kind of transaction, but the object of this transaction has become

The emperor himself and Wala.

The envoy wanted to see Zhou Yu but was unable to see him, but all the gifts given to Zhou Yu were accepted. After the beauties they brought were delivered to the palace, one beauty was favored on the same day, and this beauty was favored in the following days.

They all accompanied the emperor, but their demands were not agreed to by the emperor. They seemed to be conveying some special attitude to the Oara mission.

It was as if he was telling Wala's envoy that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was very satisfied with Wala's attitude. I like the gifts you gave me, but this is not enough. You have to do better.

A month passed in a hurry, and Wala's mission still stayed in the capital without any reply. Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette would entertain them every now and then, and at banquets they would take the initiative to reveal what His Majesty the Emperor was doing recently and where he was with him.

A beautiful woman went on an outing, and who did she favor last night?

Finally, the representative of the Wala Mission couldn't hold it in anymore and directly sent a large box of gold to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and asked for advice.

"Your Majesty likes the gifts you sent very much. As we all know, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, the number of concubines in the palace was very few. The tribute girls are good but their status is despicable, so how can they always be with His Majesty? Now His Majesty does not want the two countries to continue to fight and cause suffering to the people.

I am thinking every day about how we can become one family once and for all and achieve long-lasting peace. If there are several princes and princesses with the blood of the Wala nobles in His Majesty's harem, will our two countries be able to become closer."

The envoy who seemed to have drunk too much pointed to the sky and reminded softly: "Now our Ming Dynasty does not have a queen yet. Your Majesty is the common ruler of the world and the Khan of Heaven recognized by you. But if there is a queen in the next generation,

What will happen to the real Tian Khan? Wala

If the warriors can sincerely surrender to Your Majesty and are willing to expand the territory and eliminate the rebellion, then there is no need to worry that Your Majesty will not give you rewards. It is up to you whether you are willing to continue grazing cattle in that bitter cold land or if you want to get His Majesty's permission to enter the customs and become a noble.

Chosen."

Everything that happened during the banquet was presented to Zhou Yu in writing as quickly as possible. After reading it, Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Ma Shun."

"I'm here."

"I heard that there is a group of wandering horses wandering near Datong, numbering about a thousand people."

Ma Shun said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I have already found out the specific location of this group of roving horses. As long as the emperor gives the order, I can personally lead the army to destroy them."

Zhou Yu nodded lightly and said: "You go to Shenji Camp and lead 500 new troops, one person and three horses, and kill these 1,000 people for me to try the power of the new weapons. If you lose, you don't have to come back."

.”

Ma Shun's face was filled with joy and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

This is really a reward. Ma Shun is one of the people who knows the best about new weapons. Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies are the main force in protecting the workshop. The 500 new troops are definitely capable of destroying the 1,000-watt cavalry, and they are still devastating.

To destroy them, to destroy one thousand cavalry with five hundred soldiers without any casualties is an absolutely huge achievement. If this is not a reward, what is it?

"Bring the people from the mission with you so that they can see how my new army can destroy their most proud cavalry."

"I accept the decree."

"Go." Zhou Yu waved his hand and drove Ma Shun away. He picked up a booklet from the table and looked at it before closing his eyes and leaning on the counter.

The troops that can be mobilized in the Jiangnan area have now gradually begun to gather. It seems that they are actively preparing to resist the Oara army from going south. However, in fact, few people know that this is the preparation for the upcoming attack on Jiangnan. Under the guise of external
