Zhu Youxiao had long expected that Monan would be so chaotic.
In the past, Lin Dan Khan could still suppress the grasslands with the strength of his Chahar tribe, but after his strength was greatly reduced, those tribes that were originally dissatisfied and dissatisfied would no longer remain dormant.
In particular, the external pressure they faced made the tribes in the Monan Grassland fearful every day, especially Horqin in the north and Sanwei Jiannu in the east. The relationship between Lin Danhan and them was extremely bad.
"What happened to the defeated generals of the Kalaqin and Wengniute tribes?"
Zhu Youxiao was particularly concerned about the trends of these two tribes. When they learned that their tribe had been taken away by a group, he didn't know how they would react.
"Your Majesty, they have surrendered to Lin Dan Khan and swore in front of Lin Dan Khan that as long as he can lead them south again, they are willing to be the vanguard!"
It seems that the people in these two films still have a little bit of spirit, so they are underestimated.
"In addition to these two tribes, there are several tribes that have also voluntarily surrendered to Lin Dan Khan. Although the situation on the grassland is chaotic, it has gradually become clearer, and all parties have basically stated their attitudes."
"The tribes that are willing to surrender are led by the three stronger leaders of Wanhu from Naiman, Bahrain, and Zarut. Now they have gathered according to the envoy's order. They are just waiting for His Majesty's order to arrive. They can immediately
Move south!”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh that these Mongolians were truly top-notch in their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances.
However, since people have already submitted to you and asked for surrender, they cannot be treated as enemies.
"Since they are willing to join the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites should immediately start arranging the matter and let them all move outside the Great Wall of Xuanda Town. At that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs will send officials to register them and divide the land!"
"Especially their young knights and fine war horses. These two things are particularly critical. They cannot be neglected and left behind. They must be recorded truthfully. You should pay more attention to them when the time comes!"
"According to the order!"
The surrender of Mongolia is very important. It is related to his future strategic layout, but he can't spare any time now, so he can only leave it to the civilian officials for the time being.
"There is nothing else important. Let's come here today to implement all the matters I just mentioned as soon as possible and keep them confidential at the same time!"
Not only the emperor was tired, but also the ministers. Although the emperor gave him a seat, it was extremely uncomfortable to sit for a long time. Moreover, this is in the Qianqing Palace. You must sit properly according to etiquette and cannot move around.
This makes it even more uncomfortable.
The ministers stood up together and shouted:
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After the ministers retreated, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to stand up from the dragon chair. The ministers felt uncomfortable sitting on the small bench, so why didn't he feel uncomfortable sitting on the dragon chair.
This chair is really not for people to sit on. Every time he sits on it, he gets sore, especially his cervical spine and buttocks. It is really miserable.
Principal Zhu You said to Wang Chaofu who was standing next to him:
"My dear companion, please pass on my order to Yuan Keli, Hong Chengchou and Fu Zonglong to come to the palace to see me tomorrow!"
After saying that, he walked quickly outside. It was really stuffy in here and he needed to go out and breathe fresh air.
He needed to move his muscles and bones more. He didn't want to suffer from the disease at a young age and be inconvenient to leave the womb due to physical reasons just like his grandfather.
When Zhu Youxiao walked out of the Qianqing Palace, he saw a young man waving a wooden spear in his hand in the square outside the palace.
Ma Xianglin, who was holding his sword next to him, was looking at him with a satisfied expression. Zhu Youxiao was very interested, sitting on the steps and quietly watching Cao Bianjiao practice his martial arts.
After an unknown amount of time, Ma Xianglin, who was guiding below, discovered the emperor and immediately ordered Cao Bianjiao to stop. The two trotted all the way to the steps and knelt down in unison:
"Blessings to Your Majesty!"
"Why stop? Keep practicing as if I don't exist!"
When Cao Bianjiao, a big kid, heard the emperor's words, he immediately stood up and returned to his original position to practice. Ma Xianglin also showed a smile. His Majesty also knew about Cao Bianjiao's favor, so he did not stop him.
"Rui Zheng, come up and talk!"
Zhu Youxiao waved to Ma Xianglin below with a smile and said.
When it comes to his favorite and most trusted generals, Ma Xianglin must be his first choice. There are not many generals who are both loyal and able to fight. He is also the best in the Ming Dynasty in leading and managing troops.
Moreover, after Ma Yuan, the famous general, Ma Xianglin lived in the southwest for generations. He had a clean background and did not have so many interest disputes. He was a pure military general. This is why Zhu Youxiao valued him so much and appointed him as the first commander of the Royal Forest Army.
It is a pity that he has not been discovered in history. Because of his family and status, he is not well received by civil servants. Otherwise, the title of the best general in the late Ming Dynasty may not be Cao Wenzhao.
"Rui Zheng, what do you think of Linlong?"
When Ma Xianglin came closer, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked.
Ma Xianglin bowed his hands and said:
"I will become a general in the future. Your Majesty is really wise, I admire you!"
"When did you learn to flatter others? Tell the truth!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, and then said angrily.
Ma Xianglin chuckled and replied immediately:
"Your Majesty, how can this be flattery? What I said is indeed the truth. Linlong is talented and very interested in armaments. More importantly, this child is naturally brave. He is no longer as good as the military when he is only more than ten years old. There is no difference between the soldiers in the army. When he grows up in a few years, Linlong will definitely be able to make a name for himself."
After speaking, he added:
"I will definitely be much better than me in the future. It is a great pleasure for me to be able to take Linlong under my command and teach him!"
Ma Xianglin, like Zhu Youxiao, liked this lively and brave young man from the bottom of his heart. Since he returned to Beijing, it can be said that he taught him martial arts day and night. In addition to daily patrols, he also took Cao Bianjiao with him to the military camp. He valued Yu very much. he.
"Well, he is still young. You should pay attention to it and don't practice too much. Take him to experience the atmosphere of the military camp more often and tell him what he should do to be a qualified general and become a famous general. What about the famous generals in the world?"
"I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not be stingy. I will teach him everything I have learned throughout my life."
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor valued him very much, had high hopes for Cao Bianjiao, and attached great importance to his training. If he was free, the emperor would even take the time to teach him personally. The young Cao Bianjiao was extremely smart, and naturally he was also
knew.
"I haven't practiced for a long time. I'm almost rusty. Go get my sword!"
A guard at the back immediately took the order and left.
Zhu Youxiao said to Ma Xianglin again:
"Rui Zheng, go down and practice sword practice with me!"
Ma Xianglin replied with a smile on his face:
"I accept the order, but I am afraid that Your Majesty is no match for me!"
