The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin read through the memorials of Xuanfu.

The Dushi Fort was plundered by the Tatars, and Jiang Bin led his men to kill more than a hundred people.

Judging from the literal report, the common people came to the government to report, and the soldiers of the guard went out of the city to meet the enemy. It happened outside the city, and the censor could not tell the truth from the false.

"Send someone to Xuan Mansion to find Jiang Bin's soldiers."

Zheng Qian took the instructions and strode out.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked in and his eyes lit up when he saw Yan Chengjin, "Old Gao, my father just gave the order for General Jiang to go to the capital camp."

Sitting in the guest seat, he stared straight at Yan Chengjin with a smile on his lips.

As if he was sure that Yan Chengjin would give him some advice.

"This is not the first time that the new emperor has resisted an imperial decree." Yan Chengjin rolled his eyes at the man, full of hints.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes seemed to be shining. He thought for a while, but still shook his head: "Jiang Bin dare not resist the order, and his father will secretly transfer him out of the capital."

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment and said, "I dare not disobey the Supreme Emperor's will."

The next moment, Zhu Houzhao laughed out loud and stared at Yan Chengjin with fiery eyes.

"Old Gao, did the idiot really go on a study tour? If you don't help me, don't blame me for exposing you to the Supreme Emperor. You forced me to tell you."

"When the new emperor took his grandson out of the palace, he even went to see a geisha in a brothel. It was you who forced me to tell you!"

"This bitch, Lao Gao, actually sent someone to follow me." Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he pinched Yan Chengjin's neck.

The two of them struggled together.

Fang Xue sent Shu Zuo in, saw the scene in front of him, and immediately retreated, closing the door behind him.

After a long time, the room gradually became quiet.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Yan Chengjin's face, and he cheered up: "Old Gao, can you help me?"

He claims to be the best in the world in talent and learning, but he has to admit that Lao Gao is a little better than him in strategy.

Yan Chengjin hesitated for a moment, and then spoke after a long hesitation: "The new emperor will let Jiang Bin go to the capital camp first, and then I will think of a way to transfer him back to the palace."

To keep Jiang Bin in the palace, he must also disobey the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and avoid being punished.

It takes time to think of a plan.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, and then became happy. After Lao Gao said this, he agreed.

…

Xi Nuan Pavilion,

The eunuchs lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, just like vases standing in the palace.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the melodies sent back from Dongnuan Pavilion, with a trace of sternness flashing across his brows: "I asked him to read the melodies, why did he send them back again?!"

Gu Dayong was so frightened that he hesitated to say anything, "The new emperor said... the Supreme Emperor would not let him take power. He might as well let the Supreme Emperor read this memorial himself..."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was speechless.

With Jiang Bin by his side, this treacherous child is addicted to riding and shooting without any psychology.

I want him to be a good emperor, but he doesn't understand my painstaking efforts.

The voice seemed to come through the winter, and it was a bit scary, "Where are the people?"

Xiao Jing was frightened and said hurriedly: "I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It seems that I want Master Yan to come up with some ideas to keep General Jiang in the palace."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's gaze shot at Gu Dayong like an arrow, and Gu Dayong knew that it was over and he was going to suffer from the imperial staff again.

After a while, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang strode in, holding several memorials in their hands.

Liu Jiandao: "There are reports from Yongping Mansion that the Tatars have plundered Yanhe City and Liujiakou one after another, and are still moving south."

Taking a deep breath, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi ignored Zhu Houzhao.

Pulling himself together, he took the notes from Xiao Jing's hand, and while reading them, he was thinking in his mind whether Zhu Houzhao was going to give out relief money, or allocate military pay?

The Tatar horses were frozen to death, and they had nothing to exchange with the people in the border towns. In order to survive, they had to plunder.

Just like people need to eat to live.

At this moment, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi actually understood why Dayan Khan always took risks and led his troops south to plunder during the Spring and Autumn Period.

…

In the north, on the vast grassland.

A group of soldiers and horses galloped along the river embankment. They were wearing light armor and were attacking very fast.

Weng Guochu was riding on horseback, looking at the endless grassland.

Squinting his eyes, he turned to look at the red-faced young man next to him: "Taiji, what is the most precious thing on the grassland?"

The young man's light armor was elegant and elegant, and he had a golden sword on his waist. His cheeks were red from the cold wind, and he said without thinking: "It's horses, cattle and sheep."

On the grasslands, both women and power could be traded for horses, cattle and sheep.

If a small lord brings horses, cattle and sheep to submit to the big lord, he can obtain an official position.

But if you want to buy a horse, others may not sell it.

Therefore, horses are worth more than silver.

Weng Guochu kicked the young man off his horse and said angrily: "Idiot, it's not a horse!"

The group of lords behind him were stunned for a moment, understanding Khan's intention, and they were quickly relieved. Khan taught Taiji to become the next Khan of Oara.

One of the lords said slowly: "Taiji is a human being.

The laws on the grassland are not as strict as those in the Ming Dynasty. If there are people, everything can be robbed. "

In the grassland, large lords often annex small lords, or large lords annex and plunder among themselves.

The laws established today may not have the people to legislate them tomorrow.

Therefore, the laws on the grassland are not as strict and systematic as those in the Ming Dynasty.

Weng Guochu's face looked better, and he nodded with a smile: "It's just people. The Han invaded Dayan Khan's soldiers and horses, but they were unable to truly recover the grassland."

The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to the Tatars in the north.

He came this time to bring the people of the Tatar lords and lords back to Oara.

As for this grassland, it’s okay not to have it.

…

Early in the morning, Yan Chengjin got up in a hurry, ran around the courtyard for a few laps, and sat in a sedan chair towards the Forbidden City.

The retired emperor Hongzhi frowned and said lightly: "The matter of the Tatars has been discussed for some time."

All officials bowed their bodies and did not dare to neglect it.

After a long time, they may develop into enemies again.

When the treasury is tight, the salary will be converted into military pay.

It will become more and more difficult for each department to beg for silver.

A single move will affect the whole body.

Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang, then raised his eyes slightly: "The cabinet has agreed to allocate silver to the Tatars.

It will be led by the lords of the Jinong tribe, Yongxiebu tribe, Asut tribe, Tumed tribe and other tribes."

Dividing the unified Tatars into small pieces is similar to reducing the power of the vassal.

No one among the tribes is submissive, and the grassland consumes excess energy.

Once a tribe sends troops to the Ming Dynasty, it will worry about whether it will be annexed by other tribes, forming a check and balance.

The eyes of the retired emperor Hongzhi were slightly bright, and he seemed to let out a long sigh.

Yan Chengjin thought about it and decided that this was not the best strategy.

On the grassland, divisions will eventually unite, and unity will eventually divide. Sooner or later, a lord who will unify the tribes will emerge.

Even if the princess of the Daming Dynasty married her khan, it would be useless.

The Tatars lived on nomadism, and changing their lifestyle might help them to become Han Chinese.

Like later generations, building cities on the grasslands, intermarrying with the Han people, the Tatars did business like the Han people, changed their nomadic customs, and gradually became Han Chinese.

However, there were still many poor places within the territory of the Daming Dynasty that were beyond their power.

At this moment, there was no spare energy to manage the Tatars.

Wang Qiong was no longer in a daze, but smiled and said, "How much silver do you want to allocate? I'll go back and calculate it. Perhaps, we have to open the big and small treasuries."

The retired emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao's faces tightened, and they looked at each other tacitly.

The big treasury belongs to the retired emperor, and the small treasury belongs to the new emperor.

The officials were excited. The retired emperor and his son both had one advantage: they knew how to save money!

The retired emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly and said, "It comes from the new emperor's treasury."
