MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 708 shadow

  Chapter 708 Shadow

   "Your Highness, the rest of the memorials will be moved to Zhongshu Province."

   "Well, let's go."

  Zhu Biao rested in peace of mind for a few days, and his energy and spirit were fully nourished. He planned to restore the old regulations to supervise the country, but the emperor sent back an imperial decree, reprimanding all the ministers for slack in state affairs and causing the prince to fall ill...

   This is not a small crime. The men and women of the court were so frightened that they kowtowed to the empty dragon chair and pleaded guilty.

  The decree finally ordered the prince to recuperate in peace of mind, and not to be too strong to mislead the country. The prime minister led the six books of Zhongshu to take care of the government affairs by himself.

   All in all, it’s just a sentence, don’t tire me and my son anymore, or you will die when we come back!

As a result, Zhu Biao said that he could not recover from his health, and the ministers really cried and advised him to cultivate more. The memorials that can be reviewed every day are limited to the important affairs of the military and state, and the cumbersome local memorials are all taken by Zhongshu. Take it up.

  Zhu Biao looked at the sun outside, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. It's really a bit of an ordinary prince's feeling, doing nothing all day long.

  Today, I just approved a few reports on northern Xinjiang, met with a few officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, and took the time to have three cups of tea?

  Probably that's it...

According to the report sent by Northern Xinjiang, the Mongol invasion was as expected, with the intention of taking back their former Shangdu. Fortunately, Li Wenzhong had been vigilant. Still kept it.

  Kaipingwei is located at Batou in the south of the monastery, the desert in the north, and Yanji in the south. It has been the mouth of the mountains in the west of Yanshan since ancient times, and its strategic position is extremely important.

  Zhu Biao has issued a death order to Li Wenzhong, be sure to guard Kaipingwei, regain it if you lose it, and never give up!

It is said that the war does not focus on the gains and losses of a city or a place, but Kaipingwei is too important, and it may not be obvious during the prosperous period of Ming Dynasty. After all, it is fighting against Mongolia now, but once it loses or waits for the country to weaken, Kaiping and Daning will be defeated. The importance is revealed.

In history, in order to reward the three guards of Duoyan for their help in the battle of Jingnan, and to eliminate the influence of Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, on Daning, Zhu Di reached an agreement with the three guards of Duoyan to station them in Daning, which also meant that Daming voluntarily gave up on Da Ning. The strategic fortress location of Ning Wei.

Abandoning Daning left a large gap between Xuanfu and Liaodong, causing Kaipingwei to lose coordination and become extremely isolated. It was difficult to supply the defenders and fled. Then Ming Xuanzong made another decision that made Daming regret more than 200 The decision in 2010 was to abandon Kaipingwei and abandon the land for three hundred miles.

   Lost Daning and Kaiping one after another, and the entire northern defense line of Ming Dynasty moved back, which increased the danger on both sides of Xuanfu and Jizhou, and made the other closed gates feel like they had lost the key, changing from a strategic offensive to a passive defense.

  Daming lost its advance base, and the front line to attack Mongolia was long and difficult to supply. However, Mongolia’s southward movement was unstoppable, the capital was always under threat, and the emperor guarding the country gate became a reality.

  The result is that the Wacha army repeatedly violated Xuan and Ji after more than ten or twenty years, and they often haunted this place, which led to a young emperor deciding to march in person...

  Zhu Biao stood in front of the topographic map with his hands behind his back, thinking. He couldn’t give Ye Sudieer a chance anymore. His role had already been exhausted. It was time to die. His death would be more beneficial to everyone.

  As a traitor who murdered the king and proclaimed himself Khan, he has caused serious splits in the Golden Family. The cultural customs of the Yuan Dynasty were abandoned in his hands, and Mongolia returned to the barbaric and pure tradition.

   When he had just experienced a white disaster, he took the initiative to launch a war against Ming Dynasty and wanted to take back Shangdu aggressively. This was obviously Ye Sudieer's last gamble.

  Multiple failures put his Khan position in jeopardy. If the ferocious and terrifying fangs and sharp teeth of the surrounding wild wolves can't bite the delicious flesh of their prey, they will bite the incompetent wolf leader.

Zhu Biao has already ordered the dead soldiers lurking in the Wara Ministry of the pro-army Duwei Mansion to assassinate the only son of Ye Sudieer. He never expected to succeed, but as long as there is such a thing, the seeds of suspicion will quickly take root and germinate. , Will trigger Ye Sudieer's final crazy counterattack.

  But Ye Sudieer's defeat was already predictable. He didn't have enough strength to support so many failures, nor did he have enough trusted tribes to support him to suppress the rebellion.

   And arbitrarily provoked a war with Ming, without an explanation, it is impossible, and Ming will not agree to a truce, the leaders of the Oala Tatar tribes will facilitate all this.

  Soft light shines in, Zhu Biao stretches out a palm and hangs over the northern border, the dark cloud-like shadow covers the Mongolian grassland...

  The remaining question is who will be the next Mongolian Great Khan. The blood of the Golden Family suffered heavy casualties, but there are still many left. Judging from the current situation, it still has to be the blood of Genghis Khan to convince the public.

   It will take time for the Golden Family to completely lose their sanctity. It is useless to support a Khan who is not of the blood of the Golden Family now, but it will make the people of the grassland move closer to them.

  The glory that Genghis Khan brought to his descendants cannot be destroyed by two or three generations of khans. At least a few licentious, brutal and incompetent khans are needed to personally cut off the sacred foundation of this family.

The divided Mongolian tribes are not terrible, but the Mongolia integrated by the golden family is terrible. Zhu Biao wants to completely destroy this family that has been honored for more than a hundred years, so that the leaders of the Mongolian tribes are not limited to blood. , various tribes kill each other and become enemies, there will never be peace...

   Not long after, Zhu Biao withdrew his palm and pinched the ring around his waist. If the child named Enke is not dead, then support him to be the next Khan. I think that's what he meant when he came to Wala.

   After all, a child who is only a few years old is perfect as a puppet. I believe that with the lesson of Ye Sudieer, Wala does not want to see another profusely pointing fingers.

Enke, as the son of the previous Great Khan, Ye Sudieer, is a descendant of the Alibu brother lineage, so he is obviously qualified to inherit the position of Khan. As long as his father died decently, it would not be too rough if he wanted to come to Wala .

  According to the current situation, Sudieer is also doomed to die. The difference is that he led his own Khan bodyguards to resist desperately, resulting in an ugly death, or he wisely chose to die from a sudden illness, and he could still give life to his children and grandchildren.

The result of Enke's succession to the Khan position will definitely arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the Tatar kings. After all, the blood of Kublai Khan has always been dominant. It is not impossible for two Khans to appear in the grassland for a while. things.

If this is the case, then Zhu Biao canonize Tianbaonu as Mongolian Khan again, and then forcefully conscript Mongolian Jurchen from Liaodong to help Tianbaonu conquer disobedient subjects. After repeated natural disasters and military disasters, the Golden Family is no longer synonymous with glory but disaster up.

  Liu Jin walked in slowly holding a memorial and whispered: "Master, this is the memorial sent by Huguang Pingzhang Political Officer Zhao Yannian. It was not easy for the Zhongshu Ministry to approve it, so it was sent back."

"oh?"

  Zhu Biao took it casually, glanced at it quickly and understood it, but he was calm. It took so long to make an apology, and he almost forgot about it.

   "No approval required, just put it away."

   "No."

  In addition to reporting the local people's livelihood and government affairs as usual, there are also words of apology for his granddaughter, Zhu Biao's Chengwei matter.

   Now that Zhao Chengwei is useful now, Zhu Biao will not criticize him harshly. Moreover, because of such a small matter, Zhu Biao can't possibly embarrass a big official in the frontier, who are all pillars of the court.

Zhao Yannian was also one of the earliest ministers of the old Yuan Dynasty who surrendered to Lao Zhu. He was born in a famous family and had sufficient ability. , Let his granddaughter enter the East Palace to serve the prince.
