Everyone present thought carefully, the emperor's formation is really a bit subtle!

Arrange artillery in the middle, first deterrent the cavalry from a long range, wait for the cavalry to approach and then wait for the cavalry to rush in, but it cannot cause damage to the formation, and even suddenly finds that he is surrounded!

This is such a surprise and surprise!

Now, everyone's eyes were completely different when they looked at the emperor.

Chongzhen continued: "This formation requires training. The most important thing is the psychological quality of the soldiers. They can be practiced in actual combat without firing muskets, but the cavalry must really collide with them."

Li Banghua said: "Yes!"

"Let's start training tomorrow."

Chongzhen glanced around and said casually: "Li Aiqing, the armor and weapons of the cavalry must be submitted to the Ministry of Works in a timely manner, and everything must be decided."

"What your Majesty said is that I have already started to do it."

After staying here for a while, Chongzhen left.

It is already early April (lunar calendar), and the grass on the grassland outside the border has emerged.

Teams of grain were sent out from Zhangjiakou and transported to Yuanshang Capital.

This is the location of the Kalachin tribe in Mongolia.

The Kalaqin tribe was mainly from Urianha, namely Duoyanwei.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the chieftain system for ethnic minorities, and the Duoyanwei was actually a product of restraint.

What is banishment?

1. Military deterrence; 2. Economic support.

The original version of the autonomous region originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

For example, Zhangjiakou's mutual market is to win over and support Outer Mongolia.

This is a method that the Ming Dynasty has always had in history, but large-scale economic exchanges were still after Altan Khan came to the city of Beijing during the Jiajing period.

In short, this routine is definitely useful.

Unfortunately, after Chongzhen ascended the throne in history, he removed this routine.

Duoyan also ran away with Huang Taiji.

Seeing teams of grain entering Kalaqin's territory, Liu Ce still felt a little aggrieved.

After all, the Ming Dynasty did not have enough food now, so it still had to give the Kalaqin tribe food.

And one gift would be 300,000 shi (about 36 million jin).

It's enough for 100,000 people to eat for half a year.

Soon, a team of cavalry looked like about 800 people.

It is the second son who is shabby, and his color is covered in leather, fat and greasy, and his narrow eyes reveal a hint of contempt.

It is not inferior to two sons, the eldest son Gurusiqibu, who followed Huang Taiji to the south during the Jisi change last year.

The second son Se Leng is also a person who is a relative of Huang Taiji. He also wants to enter the pass and rob, but unfortunately he has no chance.

Since the Jisi Change, the Kalaqin tribe's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty has also made a big turn of 180 degrees.

I was still afraid of it before, after all, in their hearts, the Ming Dynasty was a powerful Central Plains dynasty. Zhu Di, the former Ming Dynasty master, pressed the Mongolian tribes to the ground and rubbed them back and forth many times.

But the Jisi Incident exposed the corruption and weakness of the Ming Dynasty.

Inside Kalaqin, he was hesitating between Huang Taiji and the Ming Dynasty, and even people like Gurusiqibu were forced to accompany Huang Taiji into the pass.

But now the pro-Huang Taiji Sect is the mainstream voice within Kalaqin.

"Are you the envoy of the Ming Dynasty?" Selen said arrogantly in Mongolian.

The translator next to Liu Ce translated it to Liu Ce, and Liu Ce said: "I came to give food to the Kalaqin tribe on the order of the emperor."

"Follow me."

After saying that, Selen turned around and left, and then said to the others: "Calculate the food, and I missed the labor and capital and killed you!"

The subordinate next to Liu Ce was called Li Ping, and Li Ping said a little angrily: "Mr. Liu, these Mongolians don't take us seriously at all."

"If you lose a war, you will definitely not be able to do the same as before, otherwise the emperor would not send us out." Liu Ce adjusted his emotions, "Remember, don't expose your emotions just now. We are going to the capital now. Diplomacy has diplomatic methods. Our goal is to bribe Wan Danweizheng, rather than to talk to them."

"Yes, the official knows!"

"Let's go."

The sunset sank into the horizon, and Liu Ce finally arrived at Shangdu City.

This is a big city on the grassland outside the border. It was one of the capitals of the Yuan Dynasty during the Kublai Khan era, and the other capital was the capital, which is now Beijing.

Later, the Urianha people moved here and occupied it.

The city gate slowly opened and trucks of food were transported in.

No one came out to greet him, and Li Ping was about to be angry, but was stopped by Liu Ce.

From a legal perspective, Shu Bu, as the commander of Duoyanwei, was still a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the envoy of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has arrived, there is not even a single person to come out to greet him, this is a great insult.

But Liu Ce has no choice now.

Chongzhen also knew that Liu Ce would inevitably encounter cold reception when he went there.

Because a weak country has no diplomacy.

The seemingly powerful appearance of the Ming Dynasty was already full of holes. The change in Jisi made the Mongols realize that they didn’t have to respect this once powerful Central Plains dynasty.

But this trip must be gone, and I will be leaving even with gritted teeth.

Just like Li Shimin, who was sent to the grassland to divide after the Weishui Alliance.

What politics requires is rationality.

When Liu Ce entered the city, a young man named Hulu came to receive him. The young man had a cold attitude and took him to his place where he lived.

Liu Ce took out 30 taels of silver (about 20,000 yuan) from his body and stuffed it into Hulu's hand. The other party pretended to refuse twice before accepting it.

After accepting it, my attitude became completely different and I immediately became enthusiastic.

"When will we meet Taiji in Shu Bu?"

Hulu said: "Shu Bu's Taiji is meeting the Jin envoy, and it may take a few days later."

Liu Ce was slightly stunned, and Jiannu actually sent an envoy to come.

It seems that the emperor is right. Jiannu is determined to completely win over all Mongolian tribes.

"Can we take us around the city casually these days? We still like Mongolian food and wine."

As he said that, Liu Ce took out another 50 taels (about 32,500 yuan) and gave it to Hulu.

Hulu said: "No problem, you have a good rest first. I'll come to you tonight. We will have a bonfire party tonight."

"It's been a labor."

After Hulu left, Liu Ce quickly took out his pen and paper and wrote: "Let's establish a relationship with Hulu first and find out how to meet Wandanweizheng from him."

Li Ping nodded.

Liu Ce immediately burned the paper.

Wandanweizheng was Shu Bu's younger brother. Liu Ce sighed, hoping that as the emperor said, there were differences within Kalaqin about Jiannu.

Once the Kalaqin is successfully divided, it will at least delay the speed of Huang Taiji's conquest of Kalaqin.

Kalaqin was outside Xuanfu, in the Tumote tribe and in the eastern part of the Ordos tribe. If Huang Taiji wanted to go westward to conquer Mongolia, he had to take down Kalaqin tribe first.

Once delayed, Lin Danhan in the west had time to prepare.
