[Chapter 317] Princess, Queen, the girl who is in charge of her family?

(0317)

In fact, the relationship between Lin Danhan and Ming Kingdom is also quite complicated. Let’s talk about it first. On the one hand, Ming Kingdom hopes to stabilize the tribes of the grassland through Lin Danhan, reduce the pressure for their northern defense line. The top leaders of the Ming Kingdom know the decay of the important towns of the nine borders. Since the combat effectiveness of the nine border troops is not good, it is only necessary to reduce the threat of the enemy as much as possible. It is best to turn the enemy into friends and eliminate the potential enemies in the bud.

The Ming Kingdom once gave Lin Danhan a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, as well as other materials, to maintain close contact between the two sides and to show the sincerity of the Ming Kingdom and the tribes of the ***. The iron spear cavalry under Lin Danhan was established in this way. There is no doubt that Lin Danhan's iron spear cavalry was indeed the strongest among the tribes of the ***. The leaders of other tribes dared not challenge Lin Danhan head-on.

However, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty did not dare to let Lin Danhan be too powerful. Everyone knows that if they are not my race, their hearts will be different. The *** people's wolf ambitions cannot be fed. No one will be foolish to think that Lin Danhan is really so obedient and will be so friendly with the Ming court. Once they become stronger again, they will definitely go south again and try to re-enter the Central Plains. The *** people are obsessed with the Central Plains! There have been enough such stupid things in the Song Dynasty, and the Ming court cannot repeat the same mistakes.

Due to this fundamental reason, the Ming court would never agree to Lin Danhan's further requirements, such as expanding 50,000 iron-spun cavalry to 100,000, or opening up the supply of iron tools. If you Lin Danhan had 100,000 iron-spun cavalry, my nine-sided important town in the Ming Dynasty, would that be fine? Once you turn against each other, the Ming court would be terrible. Thinking about Altan Khan's 50,000 iron-spun cavalry, all the border towns of the Ming Dynasty changed their qualities and fought to the capital. Who dares to forget such a painful lesson? Even Wei Zhongxian dares not!

It was during the Jiajing period. The Jiubian important towns had not completely rotted and still had a certain combat effectiveness. Nearly a hundred years later, the situation of Jiubian important towns was much worse than before. Now, as long as the combat effectiveness of Jiubian important towns was mentioned, the ministers of the Ministry of War in all dynasties would shake their heads. To be honest, they themselves did not have any hope for Jiubian important towns. If Lin Danhan had 100,000 iron spear cavalry, they might have won the Northern Zhili again. In fact, many people have expressed concern about Lin Danhan's 50,000 iron spear cavalry.

From Lin Danhan's perspective, of course, he hopes to obtain a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Ming court, as well as important strategic materials such as tea and iron. The more the quantity, the better. It is best to empty the Ming army's warehouses. The Tumote tribe does not lack cavalry, but it is not a sufficient number and sufficiently excellent weapons and equipment. The 50,000 iron-spray cavalry cannot unify the tribes, especially the Korqin tribe.

However, Lin Danhan himself knew that it was unlikely to obtain a full set of equipment for another 50,000 iron-spun cavalry through the Ming court. After all, for the Ming court, the Tumote tribe he commanded was also a potential enemy. It would be absolutely impossible to completely eliminate the hatred between the Han people and the *** people. If he really had 100,000 iron-spun cavalry, he was afraid that the Ming court's nine-sided important towns, especially the Ming army in Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu towns, would not be able to sleep at night. The threat was too great.

In fact, Lin Danhan never had the idea of ​​going south. Who doesn’t like the splendor of the Central Plains? Who doesn’t like the beautiful women in the Central Plains? However, in front of the Ming court, he was able to hide his thoughts well, which gave the Ming court an illusion that his relationship with the Han people was quite friendly. If it weren’t for his efforts to cover it up, even the 50,000 iron-spun cavalry equipment would not have been given to him. Do you think the Ming court was really full, so you would just take out 50,000 sets of cavalry equipment to give it to others?

Simply put, the Ming court and Lin Danhan are mutually utilizing and guarding against each other. Both sides are carefully maintaining a delicate balance. If someone breaks this delicate balance, it will inevitably cause strong uneasiness from the other party. In this case, Lin Danhan's decisive dispatch of troops to the Helejin tribe is very likely to make the Ming court uneasy. Perhaps, this is a good opportunity for Xu Xingxia.

After pondering for a while, Xu Xingxia temporarily left Lin Danhan's affairs behind and said slowly: "Continue to monitor closely. Especially pay attention to whether the Hellerjin tribe is in contact with people in the capital. I am a little worried that Hellerjin will take the fake route of surrender. If possible, you must stop this situation. You can consider sending someone to assassinate Hellerjin's messenger, and I will bear all the costs and consequences."

Wang Qinian said with a strange look: "Xu Qianhu, the envoy sent by Helejin, has already gone from Datong Mansion to the capital and contacted a head of the Ministry of Revenue named Cui Chengxiu. Even if you send someone to stop it immediately, it is too late."

Xu Xingxia frowned. He didn't think Heller Jin was moving very quickly, but noticed the name Choi Chengxiu. Choi Chengxiu? Isn't this guy an important backbone of Wei Zhongxian's ***? In a few years, he will be the most powerful civil servant minion under Wei Zhongxian. The Donglin Party members failed in his hands. Why did he jump out so quickly? He also hooked up with the messenger of the Heller Jin tribe?

It seems that this guy is really not to be underestimated! Those guys who can leave their names in history books, whether they are loyal or treacherous officials, do not have a good time. Cui Chengxiu should be no exception. As long as there is a suitable soil, he will immediately rise to prominence and become a success. Should he send someone to kill him now and end it? If he waits until he and Wei Zhongxian are hooked up and want to get rid of the other party, it will take some effort.

Cui Chengxiu is currently not a dazzling person. If you kill him, he will not be very serious. However, when you go to the capital to kill someone, you must use the Internet of Jinyiwei and use the killer of Jinyiwei. It is too easy to make mistakes in confidentiality. Even if the things are done beautifully, outsiders don’t know, and Jinyiwei must know it. In this way, it is equivalent to Jinyiwei taking control of his Xu Xingxia. If you have a handle in the hands of others, it will be an unpleasant thing after all. If you really want to kill someone, it is better to send someone to do it yourself.

Unfortunately, with the current strength of the White Army, it is not realistic to send people to the capital to take action. Not to mention that qualified killers are difficult to find, it is also quite difficult to establish an intelligence network. Without accurate information, how can you kill people? If you fail and the matter is big, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant parties. Killing people at the foot of the emperor, Dongchang and Jinyiwei cannot ignore it. After thinking about it, the risk is still too great.

Seeing Xu Xingxia's face changing constantly, Wang Qinian didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he continued: "Cui Chengxiu is currently only the head of the Ministry of Revenue of the Sixth Centre. He is definitely unable to speak in the capital, but he just doesn't know who he would recommend to. I heard that this person named Cui is a slippery man, very good at speculation and has a good relationship with many ministers. He was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He has only been more than three years, and other Jinshis are still working in Hanlin Academy and other places. He has successfully transferred to the Ministry of Revenue."

Xu Xingxia was also worried about this. The six ministries of the Ming Dynasty, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and labor were arranged according to the importance of the department. The two most important departments were of course the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, which were ranked first. The Ministry of Personnel had personnel power and the Ministry of Revenue had financial power. The officials of these two ministries must have a large background. Most of the time, they were the Grand Secretary. Cui Chengxiu could speak as long as he flattered one of them.

It seems that Hellerkin is indeed not a fool. He thought of the path of false surrender so quickly. However, after careful consideration, Xu Xingxia felt that Hellerkin might not be that smart. If Hellerkin's brain was really so flexible, he would probably not do so many stupid things. In the previous battles, he did not see how resilience Hellerkin had. There should be a clever person around him. I just don’t know who this master is, is it Tesna? If it was this woman, it means that her brain was also flexible enough.

After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "We can't take care of the affairs of the capital for the time being. Send someone to monitor them closely! If there is any emergency, make plans."

Wang Qinian naturally nodded and agreed. With the Jinyiwei secret stake he was in charge, it was barely possible to pay attention to the movements in the capital and spy on the basic news. However, if you want to do any big moves in the capital, you must rely on others. After all, the main task of the secret stake is not to kill people. They are not good at this at all.

Suddenly he remembered something, and Xu Xingxia said again: "By the way, maybe, I can ask Miss Azhu to pay attention and see what His Majesty the Emperor is."

Wang Qinian was a little surprised and hesitantly said: "This..."

Xu Xingxia curled her lips lightly and said disapprovingly: "Don't be nervous. I just asked her to pay a little attention, and there was no need to do anything. She was scared by the Tartars of the Hellejin Tribe at the time in Weizhen Fort. Now she heard the news about the Tartars of the Hellejin Tribe and expressed her concern. This is a normal thing, right? It is okay to even act coquettish in front of her grandfather? She is not a wood, so she can't have no reaction, right?"

Wang Qinian thought to himself, only you can think of such a ridiculous thing. It was already a bit surprising that Hellejin had taken the line to the capital so quickly. However, Xu Xingxia's actions were really shocked. He actually thought of asking Miss Azhu to come forward! It was thanks to him that he had such courage. He was really not afraid of the majesty of the Tian family! Others are veritable nobles of the Tian family, not the girl you sent to call at any time!

Besides, the Tian family has the rules of the Tian family. Even if Miss Azhu’s identity is a bit special, she cannot be asked about political affairs casually. If she backfired and made Miss Azhu an exception, it would be a big trouble? At that time, Miss Azhu would be angry, and he, the hundreds of households of the Jinyiwei, would probably be unlucky. He had no backing in the Jinyiwei, and if such a thing happened, he would really have to be bedded and left.

Xu Xingxia seemed to see Wang Qinian’s thoughts, smiled slightly, and said confidently: “Old Wang, you, the hundreds of households of the Jinyiwei, are really boring to do it. Why not come and do it with me! I, Xu Xingxia, promise not to treat you badly! Come and be the intelligence leader for me, and I promise that your life will be much more comfortable than being in the Jinyiwei.”

Wang Qinian really didn't want to stay in the Jinyiwei. He had two enemies in the Jinyiwei, one was Tian Ergeng and the other was Xu Xianchun. These two were both Qianhu and the position was much higher than him. It was basically impossible for him to defeat these two people. Instead of being suppressed by the two of them, it would be better to really leave the Jinyiwei and make a mistake for Xu Xingxia. After all, you should be more happy when doing things under Xu Xingxia.

Xu Xingxia was too lazy to pay attention to what Wang Qinian was thinking about and continued: "Even if she is not suitable for her, it is okay to let her younger brother come forward? Doesn't her younger brother like to be a carpenter? Isn't he always used to make trouble? Using this as an excuse to inquire about politics is also a manifestation of progress, right? If her younger brother is not good, wouldn't she have a bull's nose master? Tang Chen's bull's nose was also in the Weizhen Fort, and he was also covered in dust by the Tartars, and his face was dull. You can't let the Tartars go like this! It's normal to ask and vent their grievances."

Wang Qinian thought to himself, since you want to make trouble, then you can do whatever you want. I am just spreading the message in the middle, and I will pass it on whatever you say. At worst, I really took off the tiger skin of the Jinyiwei and went to the White-Yijun to do things. After figuring this out, Wang Qinian had to send it to him too much. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll transfer the words to them immediately!"

Xu Xingxia nodded, suddenly remembered something again, frowned slightly, and then slowly stretched out. He thought of a person, a useful person. However, he didn't really want to use this person's relationship. If he owe that person's favor, it would be difficult to repay. After a moment, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "By the way, you can also think about Salina. Wasn't she also frightened by the Tartars in Ningxia Town? As her identity as Queen Khurasan, she should be able to protest, right?"

Wang Qinian tilted his head and looked at Xu Xingxia in a little astonishment. In fact, he was not really surprised, but felt a little speechless. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Xu Qianhu was really capable of causing trouble and was really not afraid of trouble. He encouraged Miss Azhu to do bad things for the time being, and also accompanied the queen of Khurashan. I really don't know what he was thinking in his mind. Could it be that he really regarded a princess and a queen as the girl who was ordered by his family? Whatever he wanted them to do?
