Chapter 316 Sending troops to the grassland
It is no exaggeration to describe the current situation as internal and external troubles.
What can calm the situation?
Of course it is a powerful army!
When the new army came over Chang'an Street, countless people were stunned.
This is the first time that the new army has made its debut on Chang'an Street.
Wang Chenghai, the head of the Ministry of Rites, shouted: "Your Majesty, it is a taboo for the army to enter the city. These martial artists are not trustworthy. Please drive them out of Beijing immediately!"
As soon as he said it, the emperor was furious: "Come on! Kill this man!"
As soon as the emperor said this, all the civil officials were shocked.
The Jinyiwei acted very quickly, and brought Wang Chenghai to her and started spanking on the spot.
The one who takes action is definitely a ruthless move, the kind that fights to death.
He was beaten to death in just a few strokes.
After being beaten to death, Luo Yangxing came over: "Your Majesty, you're dead."
Chongzhen looked cold and didn't even look at Wang Chenghai. He just waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei took the head of the Ministry of Rites down.
There were officials who wanted to talk to him just now, but they all shut up.
Chongzhen rode on the horse, and after Lu Xiangsheng came over, he turned over and dismounted and half knelt on the ground: "I will be the last one to win Lu Xiangsheng, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"No gift."
Lu Xiang rose up and turned over the horse again.
The emperor pulled the reins and rushed out.
He ran in front of the neatly lined up new army troops.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him and moved with him.
He drew out the Emperor's Sword and shouted loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
In the sun, the armor reflected the dazzling light, and the voices of countless people gathered together, rolling like waves, and could be heard in half of Beijing.
At this moment, everyone felt the strong morale of this new army and the will to fight.
After the military parade, the spies in Beijing rushed to write letters and sent back the news of the emperor's military parade.
Even the detailed work that Huang Taiji put in Beijing began to write letters.
On February 15th, Guihua City.
Liu Ce met King Shunyi's son Omubu.
Liu Ce kindly called him: "Crown Prince."
After all, the title of King Shunyi was enthroned by Jiajing back then and belonged to the king in the Celestial Empire system. Of course, the son of King Shunyi is the prince.
Omubu said in Chinese: "Mr. Liu."
"This time I came here to meet King Shunyi and discuss the issue of buying a horse."
The emperor was expanding his cavalry, so he naturally wanted to purchase more horses.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were several main channels for buying horses.
One is the Naihua City in the south of the Moon, and the other is the Chechen Khan in the north of the Moon.
Liu Ce came to further discuss business.
The court's current policy on the outside of the pass is to win over the economy.
For example, if you do business with Kalaqin's tribe, you will of course want to expand your business with Guihuacheng.
The deepening of economic ties may have some strategic consolidation.
Omubu said: "Mr. Liu, I'm afraid the horse transaction will not go so smoothly this time."
"Why, I remember that King Shunyi promised me before the new year."
"Mr. Liu, Dorgon's envoy is here."
Liu Ce was stunned for a moment and then said, "So what if Dorgon's envoy is here?"
"I came to persuade the surrender. Lin Danhan was defeated last year. Now the Kalaqin tribe is in chaos. My Abu (Mongolian father) and his men want to contact Jianzhou again."
Liu Ce thought about it for a moment, what did this Omubu say to him mean?
This shows that this kid does not agree with his father doing what he does.
Otherwise, I would have put on a pair of pants and told the envoys of the Ming Dynasty what they did?
"What does the prince think about this?"
Omubu hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't agree."
“Why?”
"The current state of mutual trading has made the people's livelihood in Guihua City very stable. It is better for us to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty than to cooperate with Jianzhou."
"Then why did King Shunyi contact Jianzhou?"
"He was worried that Dorgon's cavalry would come to Guihua City."
"The prince isn't worried?"
"This is also something I'm worried about, so I want to see you."
"What are the plans of the prince?"
"The grassland is in turmoil now, and Your Majesty should take action. Believe me, if the Ming Dynasty can curb the iron cavalry of the founding state, many people in the Monan Grassland are willing to get close to the Ming Dynasty."
What he said was not fake.
Mongolia in Monan itself is the Ming Dynasty. The mutual markets in Datong Town and the mutual markets in Zhangjiakou are all economic links between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols in Monan.
The daily necessities in the pass, such as grain and salt, are indispensable items on the grasslands in the south of the desert.
But Jianzhou cannot provide them with these.
However, the weakness of the Ming Dynasty was also very obvious. The troops could not suppress the rising Jianzhou, which made most of the grasslands now have no choice but to compromise with Jianzhou.
Liu Ce thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, so he naturally has his own opinions."
Omubu hesitated: "There is something I must tell Lord Liu."
"What's the matter?"
"Just yesterday, my Abu received a letter from the pass, which was written to him by a prince. The prince was treason in the pass, and wanted me Abu to cooperate in sending troops in the pass."
When Liu Ce heard this, his heart trembled.
However, he did not immediately believe Omubu's words, after all, this was a big deal.
"Why did the prince tell me about this?"
"Mr. Liu, please tell the emperor that I hope to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. The grassland needs the Ming Dynasty's daily necessities, provided that the Ming Dynasty also needs to send powerful troops to check and balance Jianzhou."
"I will remember the words of the prince, and I will convey them to His Majesty the Emperor."
After Liu Ce left Guihua City, he sent 800 miles to rush into the pass.
It was really a rush to rush to 800 miles, and several horses ran to death.
On February 20, a piece of grassland intelligence was placed on the emperor's desk.
After reading it, Chongzhen was furious: King Shu, if you are fucking treason, you will rebel. You are a bullshit! For the sake of treason, you will be willing to lead the wolf into the house?
What is shamelessness?
This is shameless!
That night, Chongzhen stood on the map and watched it all night.
The next day, he slept in the Ganqing Palace until two o'clock in the afternoon.
He had planned a big move.
What big chess?
Send troops to the grassland!
This time, I took the initiative to send troops!
Solve problems inside and outside the pass together.
If you can use human heads to solve problems, don’t be reasonable!
After getting up, Chongzhen felt much better after sleeping.
Wang Chengen said: "Emperor, Empress Yi'an has come to you before."
"Oh, what did she do?"
"She heard that the Manufacturing Bureau has recently made some Western clocks and wants one."
"Do you still need to come to me for such a simple request? Just arrange it."
"yes."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chongzhen summoned Sun Chengzong.
Chapter completed!
