After reading the letter, Zhu Youxiao became more confident about this trip. As expected, Ahailai's father had long been dissatisfied with Lin Danhan, and he clearly stated the reasons for his dissatisfaction.
The Mongols originally believed in the Yellow religion, but Nalindan Khan forced everyone to convert to the Red religion by force.
In addition, he deliberately suppressed other tribes, which caused him to lose people's support, and Ahailai's tribe was the one that was suppressed.
Originally, he did this to consolidate his dominance, but it ended up shaking his position. Like Emperor Chongzhen in history, this man was headstrong and suspicious.
The result was that the same situation happened in the Ming Dynasty, with internal instability and strong enemies from Jianzhou approaching from outside, so he had no choice but to run away to Qinghai with his trusted tribe.
The key is that not long after this brother died, his son took his tribe to join Jianzhou, and the Mongol Empire completely disappeared.
The stupid things he did were even worse than those of Emperor Chongzhen. Zhu Youxiao even suspected that the two of them were "twins" who were both equally stupid and performed the same mysterious operations.
After Zhu Youxiao read it, he put the letter away and went straight to Wenhua Hall.
"See His Majesty the Ming Emperor!" As soon as they entered the Wenhua Hall, the Mongolians who had been waiting here immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
When Zhu Youxiao walked to the imperial stage, he said expressionlessly:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!"
"I heard from Sun Yunhe, are you willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and serve the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, His Majesty the Great Emperor, we swear to the Immortal Heaven to serve His Majesty the Great Emperor wholeheartedly!"
These people speak broken Chinese, and if you don’t listen carefully, you really don’t know what they are talking about!
Zhu Youxiao would not believe their nonsense. The Immortality they talk about is probably not as real as a few silver ingots.
He looked at them and smiled slightly:
"Then would you like to take me to the grassland to see it?"
How could these uneducated Mongolians get around? For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you. A relatively young man reacted and replied:
"Is the Great Emperor going to send troops outside the Pass?"
"That's right, I plan to personally conquer the Chahar tribe, which will also happen to rescue your tribal brothers who have been suppressed by Lin Dan Khan."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately knelt down and shouted:
"This slave is willing to serve the great emperor as hard as a dog or horse!"
The other people were so nervous that they followed suit and said:
"Slave, please wait!"
When going to an unfamiliar place outside the customs, it is always good to have a guide, at least you will not get lost. Moreover, his purpose of going out to the fortress this time is for the war horses and knights. It is always to his advantage to recruit more Mongolians.
The purpose of using wild boar skin to defeat Mongolia is the same. Who doesn’t need the excellent war horses and natural knights on the grassland? Who doesn’t covet them?
The Three Thousand Battalions that Emperor Chengzu was so powerful in the world were mainly composed of Mongolians.
More than half of the 8,000 servants Li Chengliang swept across Liaodong were Mongolians, and there were also many Jurchens and other tribes. On the contrary, the Han people had no problem.
These people are indeed more brave than the Han people in fighting, and they dare to fight to the death, let alone riding and shooting. The Han people are simply incomparable, at least in this era.
It is precisely because of this example of Li Chengliang that the military generals in Liaodong now regard him as their idol. Who doesn't want to be a powerful local emperor like him?
Since they have become idols, it is natural to learn from the idol's family history, which led to the prevalence of servants and the intensification of warlordism. They also like to recruit Mongolians and raise bandits to respect themselves.
"Sun Yunhe, find a place to settle them down, and find a few people to teach them Chinese!"
"I obey the decree!"
Zhu Youxiao sat alone on the dragon chair again and began to think. If I send troops outside the pass, how will Ye Zhupi and Huang Taiji react? Will they take the opportunity to attack Liaoshen?
If I remember correctly, they will launch a large-scale attack this year. Historically, it was brought forward because Xiong Tingbi was dismissed. Now because of his own changes, will it be brought forward?
If they really come, can Xiong Tingbi defend Liaochen?
Boar Skin has not yet been taken seriously by Zhu Youxiao. What worries him deeply is Huang Taiji. This person is much scarier than Boar Skin. Can Xiong Tingbi cope with this worldly hero?
…
Liaoyang
After the entire city of Shenyang was cleared of Jiannu's internal agents, Xiong Tingbi made all arrangements for defense and immediately rushed to Shenyang.
According to his understanding, Liaoyang is much deeper and more chaotic than Shenyang.
When Yuan Yingtai was the governor, he recruited Mongolians and Jurchens on a large scale and incorporated them into the army. The refugees were also put into the city without even checking.
I don't know how many slave builders were working hard, just waiting for their army to attack, and then cooperate inside and outside to capture this important town.
Moreover, the situation in Liaoyang is no better than that in Shenyang. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty outside the Pass, and most of the general families in Liaodong are here.
I can't clean it up like Shenyang. If I offend them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to move forward in Liaodong. After all, these people have firmly grasped the military power.
The prestige in the local area is not small, but it is not comparable to the generals in Shenyang. They have a solid foundation.
When Xiong Tingbi arrived outside the city gate, countless people were welcoming him warmly, and the troops were also lined up in two rows to welcome the Liaodong Governor into the city.
Xiong Tingbi looked furious, but it was hard to get angry in front of so many people. He said slightly angrily to his commander, General Biaoying:
"Is Liaoyang so free? There is no need to deal with military affairs!"
The general quickly ordered his men to disperse the crowd and quickly explained:
"Tai Tai, calm down. These are all suggestions made by the people in the Inspectorate, and several generals have also agreed. The general has no choice!"
Xiong Tingbi could only sigh helplessly. These people must have known what he did in Shenyang. This is also the current popular trend.
"Come into town!"
Liaodong officials, big and small, had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. When they saw Xiong Tingbi coming, they all smiled and said congratulations:
"The great success of Taiwan-Taiwan tiger-skin translation really strengthened the power of our Ming army!"
"Taitai's troops are like gods, they are truly the pillars of Liaodong!"
"Congratulations to Taitai, I don't know when he will take us to build a reputation!"
Xiong Tingbi could only smile helplessly:
"It's better to rely on the Shenyang generals to fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
"The government office has prepared a banquet for Taitai, so that we can welcome Taitai and wash away the dust!"
Xiong Tingbi was welcomed into the city with shouts of congratulations.
At the banquet, after three drinks, Xiong Tingbi stopped writing and took a preemptive strike to test how deep the water was. He looked at the people below and said:
"My generals, I am here in Liaoyang on the orders of His Majesty."
Upon hearing that this was the order, these generals immediately became quiet.
Xiong Tingbi also paused deliberately and said in a deep voice:
