The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After Liu Jian and others returned to the cabinet, they couldn't help but think about it.

Li Dongyang sat back by the case, took a long breath, and after thinking for a moment, said: "The new emperor is somewhat reasonable, but if he gives the Tatars money and strong soldiers and horses, they will counterattack the Ming Dynasty."

What all the princes are considering is how to combine kindness and power to make the Tatar people truly surrender.

The Tatars are not educated in Confucianism and only respect the strong.

They only obey the strong. Even if the Ming Dynasty attacks the Tatars again, the result will still be the same. It makes no sense to reason with them.

It is precisely because the Tatars are warlike that the cabinet is afraid that the Tatars will become stronger.

Yan Chengjin looked at the white paper on the desk, making endless speculations up and down, and pondered for a long time.

Jiang Mian looked over seriously and asked, "What do you think, Master Yan?"

Yan Chengjin thought about it seriously, and after a long time, he said: "It is too difficult to govern the world, and I can't think of a good strategy."

Liu Jian frowned, showing suspicion. This guy had ideas, but he always shied away.

Xie Qian couldn't help but secretly spit in his heart about this guy with a secret sword.

Sensing the change in the weather in the duty room, Yan Chengjin stood up and left, taking the opportunity to be lazy.

Follow the door from the left,

Jiang Bin waited for the little eunuch to report the news, handed over fifty taels of silver, and bought Zhu Houzhao's preference.

After some preparation, I went to see the saint.

Entering the main hall, I saw an official sitting in the main hall, wearing a crane patch and looking similar to him.

I don’t know if it’s been well maintained or if it’s just that old.

"My minister, Jiang Bin, has met the new emperor and Lord Yan."

According to the news, the new emperor often hangs out with Yan Chengjinsi of the cabinet. The official in front of him is wearing a first-grade official robe.

Apparently it was Yan Chengjin, an official rumored in the border areas.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Jiang Bin, his eyes glowing. After looking around, he said excitedly: "General Jiang killed more than a hundred bandits in Xuanfu?"

Yan Chengjin faced Jiang Bin, his face as calm as the white clouds in the sky, and he did not move for a long time.

Jiang Bin is the most powerful traitor after Liu Jin.

Not only was his face handsome, but there was also a scar on his face, which gave him an aura of heroism and prowess.

Jiang Bin lowered his head, sighed, and then said: "Chen Xuanfu shot more than thirty people with bows and arrows. The most heroic arrow among them hit the bandit's cheek, shot out from the ear hole, pulled it out and shot again.

Although the quiver could only hold fifteen arrows, more than fifty people were killed in one attack. "

Pull it out and then ejaculate? Zhu Houzhao showed admiration. The Tatar quivers were different from those made in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a sandwich layer to hold the arrows and prevent them from falling when running.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mostly used the quiver type, mainly to hold more arrows, depending on the thickness of the arrow body.

"General Jiang is brave!"

Jiang Bin looked flattered. He had speculated for a long time that Zhu Houzhao was indeed following this trick.

But he still took a deep breath and continued: "The people were invaded by the Tatars. When I arrived, there were already more than a dozen casualties. I am useless after all."

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said happily: "General Jiang has such achievements and dedication, which is a testament to his talent and loyalty."

Gu Da snorted softly with his nose, the dissatisfaction in his heart was completely written on his face.

Except for Yan Chengjin, who is not jealous, all the other slaves who come into contact with the new emperor should die.

His lips were trembling with anger, he looked at Yan Chengjin as if asking for help, and whispered: "Master Yan, look..."

Yan Chengjin had a calm face, but Jiang Bin was as famous as Liu Jin, so he remembered the historical data about this person quite well.

Jiang Bin killed more than 20 members of Xuanfu's family, dressed them in Tatar costumes, and falsely claimed that they were the ones who wanted to revolt.

"General Jiang is a talent."

Jiang Bin turned his eyes to Yan Chengjin, feeling very happy and saying gratefully: "Master Yan is so complimentary. Bin is a martial artist and he doesn't dare to take credit for his achievements."

After hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao admired Jiang Bin very much: "General Jiang enters the palace and becomes the Jinwu Guard for thousands of households."

Jiang Bin didn't say anything, and his face was filled with joy. Staying by the emperor's side was a hundred times better than being at the border.

Fengtian Temple,

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Has Hou Zhao summoned Jiang Bin to the palace?"

"Yes, I'm in Dongnuan Pavilion. I heard that I will be called into the palace as a Jinwu guard."

Liu Jian and others looked sad.

Jiang Bin was a military attaché on the border and was a good archer. It was a pity to become a military eunuch in the palace.

Jiang Mian suddenly said: "I heard that Jiang Bin grew up in the border area. Why not call Jiang Bin and ask, so that the Supreme Emperor will know whether to make peace or fight."

There are only so many things that can be explained in a sparse letter, and border officials are also suspected of concealing information.

Only by calling Jiang Bin and asking about people's livelihood in the Tatar border can we know how to make a decision.

Li Dongyang thought for a moment and said, "It's a very important matter, so it's better to ask first."

When Dayan Khan ruled the Tatars, in order to solve the problem of food shortage for his people in winter and spring, he led his army south to plunder.

Now, the people of Dayan Khan have become the people of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

The problems that Dayan Khan once encountered have become the problems of the Supreme Emperor.

The Tatar people can no longer survive, and plunder is inevitable.

Not long after, Jiang Bin appeared in the main hall. He glanced at Liu Jian and others from the corner of his eye, and saw that they all looked expectant.

Robbery in the Spring and Autumn Period is a Tatar habit.

The imperial court did not allocate food, so they had to rely on plundering on their own. If they could solve this problem for the imperial court...

"The people at the border don't like Tatars entering the border, and the Tatars don't abide by the rules of the border towns. Therefore, there are often disputes. I have been guarding the border towns for several years and I can see clearly."

I will know this as soon as I investigate, so I don’t dare to lie.

The five university scholars were stunned, and all of them looked convinced.

They also read the memorials, but submitting memorials often required the use of horses, and the border officials were also afraid that the court would question their abilities.

They often concealed it.

Therefore, the friction between the Tatars in the border towns and the Ming Dynasty was always happening.

But what you saw was not frequent.

Jiang Bin continued: "The Beijing army is brave, while the border army is slack. I think that the Beijing army and the border army should be transferred to each other for training to prevent laxity."

The retired emperor Hongzhi looked at Jiang Bin seriously, knowing that Zhu Houzhao wanted to summon him to Beijing as a thousand households, and said: "General Jiang, go to the Beijing camp to report first."

Jiang Bin was dumbfounded.

Going to the Beijing camp to report as a deputy general, he would have to train soldiers and lose the opportunity to stay with the new emperor.

He frowned slightly, bowed to the retired emperor Hongzhi, and took the order to leave the Fengtian Hall.

When he went down the imperial steps, he walked very slowly.

"If I go to the Beijing Camp like this, I won't have the chance to see the new emperor again."

The location of the Beijing Camp is confidential. Even if a memorial is to be sent, it should be sent to the Ministry of War, not the new emperor.

Jiang Bin's eyes flickered, and he turned and walked towards the East Warm Pavilion to say goodbye to Zhu Houzhao.

"The emperor asked me to go to the Beijing Camp, I'm afraid I will let the new emperor down."

Zhu Houzhao was angry, and the dog emperor grabbed power again, looking at Gu Dayong next to him: "Where is Lao Gao?"

Gu Dayong was laughing secretly with his head down. Jiang Bin was good at riding and shooting, and he was a big worry for him. Now he was sent to the Beijing Camp, which was the best.

"Lord Yan is in the Censorate."
