Chapter 12 Strong Intervention (3)
Chapter 12: Strong intervention (III)
Although there were some bumps and bumps in the Ming Dynasty during this period, it was generally quite calm. After half a year of running-in, the ten cabinet yamen all found their direction. Zhu Yinglong originally planned to launch the "rectification" movement in the first half of the year was postponed to the second half of the year because of insufficient estimates and blind optimism about the situation and too idealized. However, although the domestic economic infrastructure has slowed down, economic growth has not slowed down. Instead, while the country has reduced its investment, some private businessmen with unique visions have seen the potential business opportunities here and raised funds to join it. This has also reduced the burden on the court. From the wrinkles on the forehead of Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Finance, stretched a lot of wrinkles on the forehead of Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Finance, can be seen that the financial pressure has been much lighter during this period.
Although Li Yao did not win the highest ranking in the Imperial Guards Competition, her unyielding character made many bearded men lower their heads, and no one underestimated this charming and attractive female general again.
Li Yao has never announced her other identity. Maybe she has any concerns. Zhu Yinglong doesn't care about this kind of thing, and she just follows her everything.
What made Zhu Yinglong most happy was that good news came from Zhang Yan's belly, but this good news could only be shared among a limited number of people. Moreover, the child's background and identity will be a huge problem in the future. However, Zhu Yinglong had already thought about it. Anyway, he was considered a romantic person and came to visit him from time to time. Therefore, it is normal to leave one or two dragon species outside. In a few years, he would just take people into the palace directly. As for Zhang Yan's appearance, there were enough gossips inside and outside the palace, so he didn't care about the extra gossip "The emperor secretly fell in love with the emperor's sister-in-law, so he found a woman who was similar to the emperor's sister-in-law outside the palace. He was favored by him. But he didn't know that he was pregnant with a dragon species. With the emperor's boldness, he simply brought the mother and son into the palace." Whoever was gossiping behind such things was going to be unlucky.
Zhu Yinglong was so precious to Zhang Yan, who was pregnant. He asked Xu Yingyuan to give him everything, food, use, and clothes every few days.
Looking at the piles of items like hills, Zhang Yan and Da Yu'er were worried. These things have been enough for them to wear for several years. They are almost in a semi-seclusion state. They are all paid by someone on weekdays. They almost never leave their homes and live a life of luxury. Except for the smaller house, they are no different from being in the palace.
Zhang Yan herself never thought that one day she would live as happy as she is now. Although that man could not come back to accompany her every day, and there was more than just a woman, Zhang Yan felt that her life was thousands of times better than before, and the shadow of Emperor Tianqi had already blurred and forgotten in her mind.
After entering the Ming Dynasty, the convoy of Taisong returning to China got off the horse and rushed towards the capital without stopping at her urging.
Taisong was worried that Chaharmony was not a match for the backwards, so he naturally thought of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, only her husband could help her parents overcome this difficulty. Although she knew that her husband might not listen to her, she could not see her tribe and relatives being killed, so Taisong was worried inside.
"Emperor, Concubine Kang has returned to the palace!"
"Ah, so fast?" Zhu Yinglong said in surprise, looking at Xu Yingyuan who was reporting the news in disbelief.
"The Empress traveled day and night, eating, drinking and sleeping all the way in the carriage, so..." Xu Yingyuan quickly told the situation he learned.
"That's right, where are people?"
"I'll go back to the palace to wash up, and I'll come to Yangxin Palace to see the emperor later."
He rushed back so anxiously, it must be for the war between Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty. Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Concubine Kang was exhausted all the way. I must be extremely hard. I'll go to Changchun Palace to see her."
On the one hand, Concubine Kang must be exhausted along the way. When she asked her to come over to see her, she seemed to be inconsiderate as a husband. Secondly, some things were hard to say in the Hall of Heart, and it was convenient for the couple to speak in the closed door.
Just as Zhu Yinglong took Xu Yingyuan to Changchun Palace, Taisong was almost ready to go to Yangxin Palace to see him.
Seeing that Taisong seemed to have lost weight, he became much haggard. Although he tried his best to hide it, the tired look in his eyes could not hide from Zhu Yinglong's sharp eyes.
"Why don't you notify me in advance if you are back so that I can send someone to pick you up?" Zhu Yinglong stepped forward and pretended to blame him.
Taisong was moved and hurriedly said, "I am back in a hurry and I don't have time to notify the emperor. I would like to forgive me."
The emperor, Empress Kang, spoke, and the idle people had long disappeared without a trace.
"I, I guess you know that you are so anxious to get back after being worried about the battle between Harmon and the Later Jin Dynasty, right?" Zhu Yinglong sat down with Taisong's hand and asked.
Taisong is also a smart woman, saying, "I know that nothing can be hidden from you by your eyes, but I still can't help but beg the emperor..."
"Do you want me to send troops?" Zhu Yinglong looked at Taisong with a smile.
Taisong lowered his head unnaturally. You should know that as a concubine, she should not interfere with the military and political affairs of the court. She said this today as a crime of usurpation. The emperor was furious and could be instigated to the cold palace.
If you don't speak, of course it's a default.
"I understand the worries in my beloved concubine's heart, but sending troops is not that easy and simple. Although the Ming Dynasty and Chahar Mongolia are allies, they can be regarded as family members, but they are not real family members after all. Even if I want to send troops, I need to get your brother's consent. If I rashly send troops, what will your brother think? This is not as simple as the two families having a dispute and brother helping their brothers fight." Zhu Yinglong explained.
Why doesn’t Taisong understand the interest relationship? In general, her husband, brother and Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, the relationship between the lion and the tiger and the wolf are all ambitious and conspirators. The wolf wants to eat the tiger and then eat the lion. The lion wants to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and eat both the tiger and the wolf. The family is the dominant one. Although the tiger is in the middle, it wants to use the relationship between the wolf to temporarily stabilize the lion, and then irritate the lion to deal with the wolf, and gain the strength to fight against the lion.
If Zhu Yinglong knew about himself, Lin Dan and Huang Taiji would become three beasts in Taisong's mind, he would not know how to feel it?
Seeing that Taisong was silent, Zhu Yinglongyan knew that she was also in an extremely complicated struggle. If she blamed her, she could only blame her for being born in an imperial family.
"My dear, please have a good rest. I will come to see you in the evening. If I really reach that point, I will not be able to save you." Zhu Yinglong gently patted Taisong's shoulder and said calmly.
Zhu Yinglong didn't plan to tell her the news of Lang Su's death now. She wanted to wait for her to calm down, and it wouldn't be too late. What she needed most at this time was rest.
"Your Majesty, thank you." Taisong knew that this was the maximum promise her husband could give. His eyes turned red and he said gratefully.
"Let's rest, this is your home." Zhu Yinglong said heavily on the word "home".
The word "home" suddenly penetrated Taisong's heart and woke her up suddenly. How much does the word "home" mean?
Although more than 40,000 Mongolian athletes were lost in one battle, the morale of Chahar Mongolian was shocked with the arrival of Quetu Khan and the arrival of 20,000 Mongolian athletes in the northern desert.
Lin Danhan set up a banquet in his golden tent to welcome Quetuhan, and the arrival of reinforcements also dispelled a lot of sorrow.
Many tribes gloat about Langsu's death. You should know that although Langsu is Lin Dankhan's right-hand man, he is very unruly. He usually doesn't take some tribes' minister Taiji seriously. He has done all kinds of bad things. Many tribes are frightened by Lin Dankhan's power and dare not speak out. Now Langsu is dead in battle, which makes these tribes feel very pleased. You should know that many small tribes can't bear Langsu's cruelty and turn to the Later Jin Dynasty.
In Lin Danhan's brutal rule, Lang Su, the elder brother-in-law, had made a lot of efforts. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's assistance in recent years and Su Tai's continuous blowing of the pillow, Lin Danhan had restrained a lot of his previous style of levying heavy taxes, otherwise this time the Huang Taiji army would have been attacked, which would have been faster than in history!
The Huang Taiji Central Army camp was also a quarrel at this moment. No one could convince anyone who supported the continued battle and the support of retreating.
In the fight, Huang Taiji lost 20,000 troops, and more than 140,000 left. Although Chahar Mongolia lost double troops, it obtained reinforcements from Khalkha, Quetu Khan from the northern Mongolian Mongolia. The total force was more than 130,000, and there was almost no advantage in military strength. Moreover, the combat power and equipment shown by the Chahar Mongolian Army were not weak. If it could not be defeated in one blow, it would be itself who suffered a long-term battle.
If you don't fight, you have your own reasons. Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty played Chahar Mongolia and Dajin hard at the beginning of the war. Now it controls the only way to retreat westward. Chahar Mongolia either does not get stuck by the Ming Dynasty, so there is only one battle. Although after winning, it will survive in the cracks between the Ming Dynasty and Dajin, it is better than relying on others. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is actually forcing Chahar Mongolia to fight a battle with Dajin.
The Ming Dynasty was forcing Harmony to take his chariot, but everyone knew that the chariot of the Ming Dynasty was not so easy to get on. It was just by looking at the fate of Elinchen. Although the master of Qingcheng is Elinchen, in fact, the Ming Dynasty can be replaced by someone else tomorrow. The battle of Qingcheng in Daming is not just to tell the leaders of Mongolian forces on the grassland that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with now. It is more important to wake up the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, let them recognize the situation and not stand in the wrong team!
Perhaps Zhu Yinglong himself didn't know that he was forcing Lin Dankhan to fight a war with the Later Jin Dynasty. He still thought that it was the Ming Dynasty's aid, the changes in the situation in Mongolia, and Lin Dan's own unyielding personality that changed history. In fact, what he didn't know was that he blocked Lin Dankhan's retreat and had to fight, but peerless advisers like Fan Wencheng had already seen how far-reaching impact the Ming Dynasty's move had brought to the situation on the Mongolian grassland.
Two birds with one stone, no, just a few birds with one stone! Fan Wencheng kept sighing in his heart.
