For Wala, the Ming Dynasty was not an immediate threat.
Because at this time, no khan of any tribe would think that the grassland would be ruled by the Ming Dynasty. This has been the same thinking for thousands of years.
No one would have thought that Zhu Ying actually wanted to include the grassland into the direct territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if someone spreads this idea, the people in the grassland will only be crazy.
Why did Ming Dynasty come to such a bitter and cold place in a place as wealthy as Ming Dynasty?
You must know that even some areas that are better than the grasslands are nothing more than places of exile in the eyes of people here in the Ming Dynasty.
So now there are constant battles on the grassland, and everyone thinks it is temporary and will stop in a short time.
Perhaps the Ming Dynasty felt that Bei Yuan's threat was too much. It was just because Bei Yuan once lived in the Central Plains, so he wanted to destroy it.
Once the Northern Yuan Dynasty is destroyed, the grassland will still be the grassland of the past, and the Central Plains will also be the Central Plains of the past.
In fact, when the grassland military base was established, some Han Chinese who served the Mongols on the grassland also had concerns, but no one cared about their thoughts.
Of course he knew that Japan had always been rich in silver mines.
This side of Japan.
The current Japanese state is not like the one that mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and mobilized young men everywhere when the Ming Dynasty first came.
Everyone can say nice things, and Zhu Gaochi will not stop the affairs of the two imperial uncles.
There is no harm without comparison. Seeing Yancheng like this made Zhu Fan and Zhu Shu undoubtedly have a few more thoughts in their hearts.
After the Peace Covenant, troops from other regions have naturally returned long ago.
"Just don't let the two uncles suffer any loss because of the nephew's affairs. If this is the case, the nephew will feel guilty."
"It's really a silver mine. It's really a silver mine. My eldest nephew, he really didn't lie to us."
Qianhu hurriedly dismounted, walked a few steps in front of Zhu Fan, clasped his fists and bowed, his face a little red, and his voice was more excited: "Prince Qi, we and the front troops discovered an open-pit silver mine a few miles away from the front."
It's just that for Zhu Fan, these small places were really extremely poor. Apart from the population, there was almost nothing to plunder. Even the so-called nobles couldn't even compare with the rich people in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty.
Now there must be at least several thousand households.
In such an environment, there is no need to talk about any covenant, as the entire grassland remains in turmoil.
Zhu Fan was beating some disobedient Japanese nobles out of boredom when a Qianhu came galloping over on a fast horse. When he saw a figure, he heard a voice.
This is not a question of more soldiers and fewer soldiers.
There are also huge problems with food rations, and it is difficult to estimate the total population.
Zhu Fan's tone was very angry, but within this anger, there was also a surprise that was easier to sense.
"If there is anything my nephew can help with, I ask my two uncles not to be polite and just speak up."
This indicates that everyone's military pay will be improved a lot in the future.
"These damn Japanese assassins actually assassinated my Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. They were simply audacious and lawless."
What people are most afraid of is not having a target. Under such circumstances, the soldiers feel more at ease staying in the Japanese country.
After arriving in Japan, the soldiers were actually not very satisfied with the place.
"Your Majesty, good news, great news."
This is the time for them to show their full potential. If the interrogation over the Ming Dynasty is over and the terms with the Japanese country are negotiated, there is a high probability that they will not be able to use their troops again.
I'm afraid even a top student might not be able to understand such unpopular knowledge.
There is no problem in dragging him directly to the grassland.
All the surrounding soldiers had extremely satisfied smiles on their faces.
When Zhu Fan came here, he dismounted and squatted on the ground to look at the stones without any concern for his own dignity.
This place is too poor and there is absolutely no wealth to rob. In Zhu Ying's words, we can only engage in constructive plunder.
How could he not know the plans of the two imperial uncles? They just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the Japanese country.
But it is impossible for him to say that he can mark all the silver mines with a rough version of the map of Japan. This is too nonsense. In his previous life, he was not a top student with a photographic memory.
In terms of time, it is very tight.
The Ming Dynasty was short of silver. Even Zhu Fan had never seen such silver stones. He threw away his whip and ordered: "Hurry up and wait for me to go over and check."
"With the care of my two uncles, my nephew feels much warmer here."
But in fact, even Zhu Ying had never been to the Japanese country in his previous life. Most of his understanding of the Japanese country came from some knowledge in books.
In the era of cold weapons, the commander is of great importance to an army. With the same strength, different generals leading the troops are completely different.
This whole journey was just like a spring outing, quite boring.
Because Zhu Ying had said before that there were many silver mines in Japan, so when allocating talents, there were still some talents for geological exploration.
What they prefer is to grab directly.
In fact, the situation of the Japanese country really did not have any resistance to Zhu Fan or the Ming Dynasty.
Facing the cavalry that constantly emerged from the grassland, it was difficult to say that they could maintain a complete victory.
After all, Zhu Gaochi also understood that the development of the city of the two imperial uncles was extremely slow. Whether it was business or other aspects, it seemed to be relatively disorganized, and the public security was in a mess.
In terms of numbers, the current strength of the three cities is probably about the same, but the leader is the most critical.
Be it blue jade or Zhu Di.
"When I go back, I will definitely give you this bad breath."
It's not a fight on the same level at all.
Zhu Shu said with concern at the side: "It's good to see that my nephew is okay. This Japanese country is far away from the Ming Dynasty, so we three uncles and nephews are here to support us. If anything happens, of course we still have to watch and help each other."
It doesn't matter if you are poor here, as long as you have enough money, you can go back to Ming Dynasty to spend money.
Although the Ming Dynasty has long ago abolished slavery and prohibited any trade involving slaves, this is overseas. As long as it is not done openly, who would care so much.
Therefore, in this aspect, Zhu Ying still established the majesty of his grandson.
The army of tens of thousands was completely invisible.
But when silver mines were discovered, it was completely different.
Of course, it is far behind the capital, but compared with some relatively wealthy Jiangnan areas, it is more than enough.
After all, it is not allowed to recuperate.
As the saying goes, the enemy in numbers cannot defeat the equal. Although I have never been to Jincheng and Yancheng, I can definitely guess the general situation.
Most of the overseas businessmen gathered here, and the Japanese businessmen basically did not go there.
The Mongols are not fools, and naturally they will not go head-to-head with the army. The main battle is still focused on the supply line.
It's different now. The Ming Crown Prince was assassinated, which is equivalent to giving a very good excuse.
Zhu Fan turned his head and glanced at the Qianhu, then struck the Japanese noble hard with a whip and said casually.
Even if Wala sent troops to help Bei Yuan, it was just to get a better share of the pie, and even took this opportunity to annex some tribes, populations, and wealth belonging to Bei Yuan.
Holding the stone he picked up from the ground, which still had a faint layer of silver reflected on it, Zhu Fan laughed crazily.
"But let them know that our Ming Dynasty is not someone they can offend."
Because here, they saw the prosperity that only belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
In ten years' time, if you look at him, how much temper he still has?
The so-called constructive plunder is to develop the economy here and then continue to make demands.
With the help of ministers like Xia Yuanji and some benevolent government measures on my side, it is naturally much more prosperous than the two cities look like.
The exposed silver light is quite dazzling in the sunlight.
There was no way for the Ming Dynasty to gather a large army. Such a burden would be too heavy. On the vast grassland, infantry was of little significance at all.
According to the current rising financial resources, material resources, manpower, food, etc. of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, I was cursing in my heart.
"Good guy, you don't have to dig hard, you can just pick up the white money."
But these are really of little interest to the Ming Dynasty, where the number of wars ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
As for the Huaixi nobles, they were constantly sent to the grasslands to join Lan Yu and Zhu Di.
If you really want to make a comparison, maybe your own Yancheng has no resistance at all to the two imperial uncles.
There is an open space, which is already guarded by a large number of soldiers.
Whether it is Jincheng or Qicheng, the status of Japanese people is extremely low, almost no different from slaves.
Anyway, just fight and consume.
When they first arrived in Yancheng, Zhu Fan and Zhu Shu were shocked by the prosperity of Yancheng.
"Thank you to the two imperial uncles for their concern. My nephew's health is no longer serious."
Fortunately, the Japanese expedition went relatively smoothly, and there were no major setbacks. What the Japanese victory brought about was the spread of the Ming Dynasty's reputation.
It's completely crushing.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard what his two uncles said.
A little more of a challenge.
Zhu Fan immediately summoned the talents of Jinyiwei to conduct an assessment of the silver mines here.
Compared with Beiyuan, the living environment in Oara is actually more worrying. After all, it is already closer to the north. The severe cold in winter freezes many people to death every year. Basically, even those with poor health cannot survive it.
It's one thing to know that this thing is true. The Japanese state is not that big even if it is big, and it is not that small even if it is small.
While talking, Qianhu also took out a silver stone from his arms.
Once they see the infantry, the first reaction of the Mongolians is to run away. They have suffered too many losses before, so how can they lose their lives in vain?
The third uncle's side is no worse than his father's. The seventh uncle's side may not be as famous, but it is not something that a teenage boy like himself can compare with. Moreover, there are no generals guarding the city.
.
This situation is what Zhu Gaochi is doing, but for Zhu Fan and Zhu Shu, this efficiency is too slow and there is no fun at all.
This gave Zhu Fan an opportunity to use force.
I guess it didn't develop very smoothly.
"Nephew, just wait. Since they have done it in the first grade, I will do it in the fifteenth grade."
This is also a good development of the Japanese country after the Tang Dynasty. Before, a few hundred households could be called a country if they were surrounded by wooden railings.
Zhu Gaochi's face was still a little pale, but his words were still somewhat energetic, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.
Although when you went to fight against the Japanese country, you were rushing to do this, but if you go to dig up the grandson's old score, wouldn't you be impatient?
If you really want to bring up this topic in the court, let alone the royal guards, even His Majesty will have to think of some way to make you evaporate.
"Now that my nephew has encountered hardships and almost lost his life, I see that my uncle is feeling quite uncomfortable, just like my third brother. After my seventh uncle returns, he will definitely make the Japanese country pay the price."
King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Shu of Qi arrived in Yancheng one after another.
Even the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry were dispersed into small teams to carry out raids.
When the Ming Dynasty was previously restrained due to the treaty issue between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, Zhu Fan did not dare to send troops to conquer Japan privately.
How can any effective resistance be formed in a short period of time?
"My nephew must do his best and there will never be any ambiguity."
This portends a lot of money.
This resulted in only small-scale battles breaking out on the grassland, with the number of people ranging from hundreds to thousands.
Zhu Ying will not lie.
Today's grasslands are filled with bloody battles every day.
After returning to Jincheng, Zhu Fan immediately began to mobilize troops. In the name of seeking justice for his nephew, he did not hesitate to launch an expedition.
Zhu Ying has nothing to worry about.
When the Japanese were conquered, the ministers tacitly agreed not to mention the issue of gold and silver.
Regarding the restrictions on vassal kings, they did not say that vassal kings who founded overseas countries would not be allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty. This was still very different from the previous vassal king system.
Even the eunuch following behind him looked almost the same.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Shu just spent the night and hurried back.
And for soldiers, they can apply to return to Ming Dynasty to visit relatives in a few years.
"What kind of good news can there be in such a shabby place?"
Zhu Gaochi also understood that although the economy was developing well, the military strength controlled by the two imperial uncles was completely beyond his reach.
It's just that these places, after being robbed once, are almost completely abandoned. So what kind of wealth can a small population create.
It can be said that the Jinyiwei organization contains talents from all walks of life. The capital's side is notorious just because it is more famous for investigation.
The talents from Jinyiwei came over soon to conduct an inspection.
After the initial inspection, Zhu Fan was reassured that this was a medium-sized silver mine.
The specific number will not be known until preliminary excavation, but it indicates that there will definitely be no shortage of mineral deposits inside.
