It’s not just the white jade that is flawless—it’s also Cena. Huo Luochi is so sincere that if the emperor insists on refusing, it will inevitably chill his inner heart. Zhu Yijun thought about it for three seconds, then got down the slope and accepted it decisively.
Because Cena had followed Huo Luochi to Saihanba secretly, so after Empress Dowager Li took a look at it, she went directly to the emperor's golden tent to stay. After Zhu Yijun saw it, he was amazed and felt that this Persian-Mongolian hybrid looked a bit attractive. The meaning of Guo Qingcheng. Well, it is a bit like Ba and a bit like Zha - combining the strengths of the two.
After Cena entered the Golden Tent to serve Zhu Yijun, Zhang Siwei saw her several times when she was reporting on political affairs. He actually didn't understand why Chen Ju, who went to have her examined, and the later emperor thought this woman was pretty.
In his opinion, Cena was too tall, her chest was too firm, her hair was brown and curly, her nose bridge was a little high, her eyes were a little deep, and she had a strange appearance - the emperor had sacrificed too much in order to appease the various tribes!
Since the emperor has made a sacrifice, he must use the political influence of this matter. Therefore, Zhang Siwei urged Zhu Yijun to give Cena the title of concubine. The emperor accepted it and promised Huo Luochi to give Cena the title after returning to Beijing. In the book of treasures, first concubine Yi will be granted the title. If a prince is born, then concubine Yi will be promoted.
"Yi" means "beautiful" and is homophonic for "different", which means "Yi". Han officials all understand this concubine name, but no one dislikes it in front of King Duoluo. They analyze and explain the meaning behind it to him. Huo Luochi’s original intention was to curry favor with her, but she didn’t expect Cena to be granted the title of concubine. She was overjoyed and took out a lot of large pieces of mutton-fat jade. Everyone around the emperor had a share.
Now that they are married, the leader of the Saikai Doro tribe cannot become a duke. Although the thirty thousand households are somewhat reluctant, they are still given the title of third-class hereditary county king and awarded a gold seal.
The banner owners of Monan Thirty-Nine Banner, Mobei Twenty-two Banner, and Xihai Nineteenth Banner almost lost their waists due to Huo Luochi's arrogant maneuvers. Kuimengk of Nenhorqin was preparing to send a courier because it was close to Saihanba. Ma returned to the tribe and brought his daughter to the emperor to see her.
Zhang Siwei heard about it and hurriedly went to persuade her: "My lord, you are already a second-class prince, so don't cause any trouble. Besides, I heard that my concubine is of Persian blood - you are too busy now and it's too late."
Tashara looked up to the sky and sighed, hating that his pasture was too far away from the Western Regions and that he would not be as stunningly beautiful as Cena's mother Yena. Otherwise, fifteen years later, the emperor would only be in his thirties, so he could have more relatives.
Zhang Siwei induced: "Your Majesty, follow the imperial court to the north. I heard that west of Beidi Mountain, there are many women with blond hair, fair skin, and long legs, and you will... this one is not included. It’s not bad to be related to the emperor for personal use.”
Tashara's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. Then he patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zhang, I will definitely accomplish this! If I gain anything in the future, I will never forget you, brother!"
Zhang Siwei waved his hand: "No! No! I still like women from the Central Plains to be delicate and cute. Your Majesty, you don't have to think about me. This is not polite, really! It's more real than real gold!"
...
This conversation was Zhang Siwei's break from busy government affairs. After the meeting of the chiefs, he and the ministers who came with him were so busy that they went crazy in order to implement the emperor's edict.
Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu and other ministers in the Privy Council were buried in piles of documents. Government affairs such as awarding rewards to the chiefs, setting up flag masters, dividing pastures, appointing ministers in Mongolia, and forming the Han-Mongolian coalition army. In addition, there were also quick reports from the capital Ma Jijiao kept sending other important memorials to Zhu Yijun for instructions, and Zhang Siwei also led people to sort them out and organize various meetings before the imperial court: he almost died from exhaustion.
Tired to death, but leisurely. Shen Shixing, the Minister of Etiquette, in addition to putting into effect the awarding regulations that had been prepared long ago, spent a lot of his free time accompanying King Qin, King Zheng and other royal families and nobles to hold banquets
, soaking in wine and enjoying singing and dancing every day, my childhood is very happy.
The greatest expense of the emperor's tour occurred during the period after the gathering of chiefs. As the heavy-laden carriages that accompanied them gradually became empty, mosquitoes gradually increased on the grasslands, and Empress Dowager Li and others gradually became unbearable to disturb them.
In late May, everything was completed in Saihanba. Suonan Gyatso's journey had already reached Xuanfu, which was less than a thousand miles away from the capital. Zhu Yijun decided to return to the capital to meet with him.
Before returning to Beijing, the last project is a military exercise. At this time, there are more wild animals than people in Saihanba forest and pasture. But it is not autumn, and hunting activities are not allowed. Otherwise, Zhu Yijun is going to learn from Kangxi and have a "Saihanba"
"Autumn".
The hunt failed, and the purpose of deterrence could only be achieved through military exercises. In the past two months, the military appearance, military discipline and training of the new army had fallen in the eyes of the chiefs, and they were all amazed.
But whether we can fight or not can only be seen through exercises. Therefore, this military exercise is completely designed for grassland combat - rapid movement of large corps, encampment and supply drills, as well as artillery salvos, bird cannon fire, etc.
Although rapid troop transport is very important in the military, using telescopes to see the future during exercises is not shocking - it is the latter two items that almost scare everyone to the point of peeing.
At ten o'clock in the morning on May 30, the exercise entered the artillery speaking stage. With the deafening sound, the exercise ground was filled with smoke, and the rows of mounds hundreds of feet in front of the rostrum were beaten into dust. The audio-visual effect was absolutely explosive.
surface.
After the artillery speech, there was the speech of the cannon array. In order to simulate the effect of a cavalry charge, the New Army in the exercise made two wooden fences one mile long on the grassland, like a wooden alley with a width of dozens of feet. The east and west fences
On both sides, more than a thousand wooden figures were built and inserted into the ground. From a distance, it looked like two infantry formations with a cavalry passage in the middle.
After the exercise began, the participants of the New Army exercise drew a white line in front of the battle line. The spectators were confused and asked what the white line was for.
As the general blew the iron whistle in his mouth, the two hundred horses at the far end of the fence were all slashed on the buttocks. Then all the horses neighed and rushed toward the white line with an astonishing momentum.
The Mongolian chieftain at the scene thought to himself that if his military formation stood on the white line, he would have to avoid the edge for the time being.
However, the six hundred gunners who participated in the exercise fired seven rounds in one minute. None of the two hundred horses rushing forward at high speed could cross the white line. The corpses quickly piled up like mountains. The injured horses screamed and blood was everywhere.
,shocking.
Some of the people watching the exercise were experienced in the battlefield, but they had never seen the power of firearms. Many of them, including clan nobles and Han officials, had seen such a military exercise so close to actual combat for the first time. Not only Chief Meng, but also Zhang Siwei was almost frightened.
He was so incontinent that he closed his eyes and dared not look any further. The lips of several senior officials from the Privy Council who accompanied him trembled with excitement, and they were speechless with tears in their eyes.
But what was even more exciting was behind, as the gunners finished shooting. The artillerymen spoke again, and the horse-drawn tiger squatting cannon fired a volley at the horse carcasses piled up at the entrance of the alley - oh, the blood mist filled the sky, and everyone watching the exercise was in front of them.
All dyed red.
Then the Tiger Crouching Cannon deflected its muzzle and fired another round at the wooden figures on both sides of the fence. The sound of the iron sand hitting the wooden figures was like a strong wind and rain. Although it followed the booming sound of the cannon, it could still be clearly heard.
.
King Shunyi stood in front of Zhu Yijun, his eyes straight. He lowered his head and said to Hu Laha Chidao beside him: "With such a mighty army, what do you need us people for? What use are we?"
Hu Lahachi played with the telescope given by the emperor and whispered: "Maybe the imperial cavalry can't do it."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of ticking bugles. The Ming cavalry rushed into the training ground from the east and west sides and passed in front of the Tiger Crouching Cannon. As they passed, Hu Lahachi saw a bunch of black soldiers.
The pimple was thrown into the wooden crowd.
Just as he was wondering, the wooden man suddenly began to explode, and the grenade fragments beat the wooden man into pieces. The following cavalry all pulled out their sabers, shouted and rushed into the formation, and while traveling at high speed, they chopped down all the circular haystacks above the wooden man.
Break off and rush out of the formation behind the formation.
King Shunyi's nose felt itchy, his tear ducts were touched, and he felt as if something was about to flow out. He looked up at the sky and whispered: "This cavalry can beat five of us - if we can withstand the first round without exploding."
Camp."
Hu Lahachi said heartlessly: "Anyway, we won't fight with the imperial court in the future. What are we afraid of? The more powerful the imperial army is, the easier it will be for us to conquer the north in the future."
King Shunyi looked complicated and hesitated to speak. He could only sigh and ended the meaningless conversation.
Hu Lahachi curled his lips and thought to himself: "You idiot, do you still think that I can be as good as you and me? Stop dreaming. The right thing to do is to lie down like me!"
