Zhengde left, and as he told Zhou Chong, he only stayed at Tianjin Port for two days. During these two days, he only saw Zhou Chong alone, and then he did not go to Beijing, but went directly by boat.

After Liaodong, Liaodong went to Fisher Sea. The Ming army there had been recuperating for a long time and was planning a war of destruction against the Tatars, which required Zhengde himself to command.

In addition, before Zhengde left, he issued another imperial edict, which was to grant Zhou Chong's son Zhu Zaiyuan the crown prince. If Zhu Zaiyuan was not a man when he died, then Zhou Chong would temporarily take over the throne. If Zhu Zaiyuan was already a man, then he would take over the throne.

Take over the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving Zhengde's imperial edict from the prince, the cabinet was relieved. After all, the emperor was fighting abroad all year round, and God knew when something would happen. If there was no prince in the middle of the country, then a turmoil would definitely trigger at that time, even if

With Zhou Chong, the governor, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the vassal kings across the country. Now the Ming Dynasty finally has a crown prince. To put it bluntly, even if Zhengde died the next day, they don’t have to worry at all.

It is also worth mentioning that the cabinet did not know that Zhengde would not return to the capital in the future. Otherwise, if they knew, they would definitely be happier, because in their opinion, Zhou Chong is more like an emperor, but Zhengde

He is like a child. Now that Zhengde can do a good job in the army, let's continue to do it. Anyway, Zhengde does not need Zhengde to intervene in the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhengde left Tianjin, Zhou Chong had not returned to Beijing yet, so when the other party left, he stood on the dock to see Zhengde off. He even felt it. This was probably the last time he met Zhengde.

In fact, Zhengde was determined not to return to Beijing. Even in fact, he gave up the emperor's power, in addition to being betrayed by Jiang Bin and Liu Liangnu, Zhengde was actually worried about another thing, that is, the relationship between him and Zhou Chong.

It was this incident that made him finally make up his mind not to return to the capital.

Zhengde is not a good emperor, which is well known to everyone. However, since Zhengde went to Xuanfu and Zhou Chong took over the Ming Dynasty's government, the entire Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether in the people or in the officialdom, it was because of Zhou Chong.

There have been great changes, and these changes are more conducive to the development of the Ming Dynasty. In just a few years, the entire Ming Dynasty was almost completely renewed, and all aspects of agriculture, industry and commerce burst into great vitality, and the lives of the people were greatly improved.

At least when encountering natural disasters, no one will leave their hometowns and flee. Just relying on the food stored at home is enough for them to spend the famine.

It was Zhou Chongduo who did this outstandingly, which immediately highlighted the ridiculousness of Zhengde's previous actions. Many people even believed that if His Highness Zhao had served as the throne, the Ming Dynasty would have become very prosperous and strong long ago. As for Zhengde

This incompetent emperor is most suitable for riding a horse to fight, so it is better to pass the throne to His Highness Zhao early.

At the beginning, the rumors above were only spread in a small way among the people, but as time went by, even the officialdom and the Shilin began to make these remarks, which was very unfavorable to Zhou Chong. After all, he

After all, he is just a minister. His reputation now exceeds Zhengde, and there are rumors of such disobedience. If Zhengde is suspicious in his heart, it is likely to cause the tragedy of brothers killing each other.

Fortunately, Zhengde values ​​feelings very much, especially for his closest brother, he almost unconditionally believed it. When he heard these rumors in Liaodong, he just smiled and didn't take them to heart. He even Jiang

Bin once mentioned this in front of Zhengde, but was scolded by Zhengde because he believed that his younger brother was not that kind of person.

It is precisely because of Zhengde's trust that Zhou Chong can gain a firm foothold in the court, and at the same time, he can also carry out a series of reforms to the Ming Dynasty. Although these reforms encountered a lot of resistance, many people even deliberately provoked Zhou Chong.

The brotherly relationship with Zhengde was unsuccessful.

However, as the saying goes, things in the world are impermanent. Zhengde never expected that King Ning, who was respected by him some time ago, suddenly rebelled. This caused Zhengde to suffer a great emotional blow, and what Zhengde did not expect was that in him,

After just quelling the rebellion of Ning Wang, he accidentally broke the affair between Jiang Bin and Liu Liangnu. One of these two people is his most trusted minister and the other is his most favored woman, but they both betrayed themselves.

, This made Zhengde feel that his whole world had collapsed.

Zhengde suffered a huge blow in his relationship twice, which made Zhengde begin to doubt everything around him, and even Zhou Chong began to doubt the rumors that he didn't care about before suddenly felt harsh in an instant, although rationally

He felt that Zhou Chong would not betray him, but he still could not fully believe Zhou Chong in his heart. What's more, Zhou Chong now controls the power of the court and has established the Ming navy. It can be said that if Zhou Chong launched a rebellion, he would definitely be able to do so.

Justin Dracula was brought down from the throne.

Zhengde knew that it was wrong for him to doubt his brother so much, but he still couldn't control himself because of his emotional damage. So in this case, he decided to give up the military power in his hands and completely hand over the entire Ming Dynasty to Zhou Chong.

He just needs to control his army and do what he wants to do, so that it will not hinder Zhou Chong from exercising his abilities in the court, and Zhou Chong has no reason to deal with him.

Zhou Chong actually guessed Zhengde's thoughts, but he didn't know how to persuade Zhengde. After all, after several betrayals, the other party could not withstand another betrayal, so Zhengde chose to stay away from the Ming Dynasty.

The political core is to hand over all the power to him. If Zhou Chong wants to launch a rebellion in this way, then Zhengde can only think that he is blind.

Of course, Zhou Chong would not betray Zhengde. He had no ambitions for the throne, let alone Zhengde could not have children. The throne would definitely belong to his son in the future, so Zhou Chong had no reason to betray Zhengde. He should even be the one who was most worried about Zhengde's safety.

People, because if Zhengde has an accident, others may doubt his head. Zhou Chong is not a person who likes to take the blame.

Thinking of the reason why Zhengde left, Zhou Chong, who was standing in Tianjin Port, couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't like the royal atmosphere, he always felt that there was less humanity in the palace, but in his position, he had no other choice.

His son will definitely take over the throne of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Since this is the case, he can only strengthen the Ming Dynasty. Even if there are foolish people among his children and grandchildren, it will give the Ming Dynasty confidence to hold on for a while.

A few months later, Zhengde, who arrived at the fishing sea, was about to launch the final battle of destruction against the Tatars, and a news that shocked the grassland came, and the little prince of Tatars was lying on the hospital bed for several months.

Afterwards, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. He died in his tent a few days ago. His sons fought for the throne of the Khanate. The Tatar Khanate split into several forces in the blink of an eye.

Fighting with each other endlessly.

The same is true for the inheritance of the Khan throne in the grassland. Whenever a Khan king dies, several of his heirs will fight for the Khan throne and fight. This may be the tradition of the people in the grassland. Only those who win in the end are qualified to sit.

However, such a fight is often difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time, and may even split the grassland for hundreds of years. However, whenever a talented grassland leader unifies the grassland, it will give the central plains to the south

Dynasty posed huge threats, such as Turks, Mongolia and other countries, which were all products of this division and unification.

However, the death of the little prince of Tatar at this critical moment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. So under this circumstance, Zhengde once again increased his troops and made a move of 150,000 troops from Fishing and Xuan

The prefecture and Ningxia attacked the grassland in three directions. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was also surrendering to the tribes of the grassland. As long as the tribes who were willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they could be protected by the Ming Dynasty and traded with the Ming court first.

It can be said that this attack on the Tatars was not only conquering with force, but also invading the grassland with economy and culture. After years of transactions, the tribes of the grassland had close trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's commodities were also

It has entered every corner of the grassland. In this case, the relationship between those tribes and the Ming Dynasty has also improved. In addition, the current strength of the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the tribes on the grassland cannot resist at all. So in this case, surrender becomes

Those tribes' wisest choices.

It was also in this case that when the three Ming troops entered the grassland, they had almost no resistance in the first half of the month. These tribes were the closest to the Ming Dynasty and had the closest relationship with the Ming Dynasty. They were facing it.

During the Ming Dynasty, the army also surrendered the fastest. In order to acquire these surrendered tribes, the army in Ningxia had to delay the speed of the march.

When they entered the hinterland of the grassland, the three Ming troops finally encountered some resistance, especially the sons of the little Tatar prince. Although they fought endlessly, they also knew that if they did not unite now, they would have to die together in the end.

It’s a pity that there has been a split between them. Even if they unite again, they cannot fully trust each other. Under the involvement of all forces, the army cannot exert its due combat power. They fought with the Ming army several times in the early stage.

He was defeated, and even one of the sons of the little Tatar prince died in battle on the battlefield. Moreover, the three armies of the Ming Dynasty began to gather at the core of the Tatar Mount Kent Khan. If the Ming Dynasty occupied this place, then the Tatar Khan

The country is equivalent to destruction. (To be continued...)
