After coming out of the Shu Palace, Zhu Youxiao could no longer hide the joy in his heart. When he was far away, he laughed loudly and wantonly.
Ma Xianglin on the side was confused, but for the emperor to be so happy, he knew it must be a good thing, so he also giggled.
This is a huge sum of money. You must know that, not counting the additional levy of Liao Xiang, the court's annual tax revenue is only about 6 million taels of silver.
The food supply is incomparable. The imperial court can collect 10,000,000 dan or 20,000,000 dan per year, and these 600,000 dan are just a fraction.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, the King of Shu is really rich and powerful, he paid all the money and food in just one day.
When King Jin was forced to pay so much money and food, King Jin had a hard time collecting it all.
For the sake of his son, he really spent all his family wealth.
Unlike the Shu vassal, the Jin vassal had a good geographical location and received special preferential treatment. Compared with the fertile land in Sichuan, compared with the areas in Shanxi that suffered from disasters from time to time, it could be said that it was a land of abundance.
After returning to the military camp, before Zhu Youxiao could celebrate today's happy event, a Tiqi from Fusi in Beizhen came to report to him with the warrants of several left-behind prime ministers.
During his southern expedition in the past few months, the wild boar skins outside the customs were not idle and were actively causing trouble.
However, because the emperor was not in the capital, the prime minister who stayed behind did not dare to make any independent decisions regarding the war. He strictly ordered all ministries to stay put and immediately drafted a memorial and sent a horse south to report it to the emperor.
After reading it, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath. This old slave is really not easy to worry about.
He originally thought that Jiannu had suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses in strength and population, so there would be no big moves in recent years.
It's a pity that he once again underestimated Ye Boarpi, this gambler and careerist who once defeated the entire army of the northern elite of the Ming Dynasty and established a political power.
I have to say that Boar Skin still has some sense of vision and smell, and he is also very good at seizing opportunities on his own.
When he learned that Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, was patrolling the south with troops from Beijing, Nuerhachi burst out laughing and called God to help me.
In his opinion, this little emperor is still too young. He thinks that after winning a few battles, the world will be at peace? Will he surrender to him?
Several consecutive defeats made the old slave, who had always been extremely shrewd, fall into reflection. During this period of time, he was always thinking about why the Ming court and the Ming army had undergone such huge changes.
For this reason, he also sent his confidants to Beijing for the first time to investigate, trying to find out what kind of person the newly succeeded young emperor was.
When looking through the information, Nuerhachi's psychological thoughts were extremely complex.
Judging from the things that the young emperor has done since he ascended the throne, he must be an emperor who wants to make a difference, and he is not like those emperors before the Ming Dynasty who were afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, and were extremely ruthless in doing things.
He was even worried that the Ming Dynasty would have such a young and talented emperor, but he was already over fifty years old.
He can't take advantage yet. When he dies in the future, will his sons be his opponents? Will Daikin still exist?
But judging from his current tour to the south, this little emperor is just a man who enjoys great achievements. He is very proud of his achievement even though he has achieved a little bit. He is really a young boy.
So he gathered the soldiers and horses of the Zhenghuang Banner and the two Red Banners, contacted Kerxin and sent troops together to attack Lin Danhan in Monan again.
Lin Dan Khan is a soft persimmon now, and he is also the kind of soft persimmon who has riots and chaos at home.
Among all the forces, he is the weakest. Naturally, everyone wants to bully him. Naturally, Lao Nu will not give up this opportunity to attack him.
Lin Dan Khan's strength was not as strong as before, and he did not dare to face the coalition forces of Lao Nu and Horqin tribe again. The entire northern Monan was deserted, and Lin Dan Khan had already withdrawn the tribes there to the south.
Lao Nu led tens of thousands of allied troops all the way south, approaching Lin Dan Khan's capital Chahanhot, vowing to destroy Lin Dan Khan in one battle.
Lin Danhan retreated again and again, originally thinking that by giving up hundreds of miles of grassland, they would return without success, but he did not expect that it would only encourage the opponent's military strength and arrogance.
As the Great Khan of Mongolia, he also had his own arrogance, so he sent his most trusted Tuolihai, with a cavalry team of 5,000 people from his tribe, to fight against the coalition's vanguard, hoping to regain confidence.
Change the situation.
Needless to say, the result was that the Chahar tribe, which had suffered continuous defeats, had no fighting spirit at all. As soon as they came into contact, they were defeated by the slave-building Eight Banners soldiers and fled in all directions.
Lin Danhan saw that his side was helpless, so he fled westward in panic with his cronies.
They ran to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, to the east of the Tumote tribe, before stopping their escape.
It can be said that Lao Nu obtained great benefits from Lin Dan Khan's western expedition this time without any effort. Not only did he expand the territory of Dajin, but he also captured countless cattle, sheep and horses.
The most important thing is that he obtained the urgently needed population resources and labor force, and further strengthened his relationship with the Horqin Ministry, which suddenly relieved the great conflict pressure.
At the same time, Lao Nu also dispatched his four-beile Huang Taiji to lead the soldiers and horses of Zhengbai Banner to conquer Mao Wenlong's troops entrenched by the Yalu River again.
After several months of development and growth, and with the full support of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, Mao Wenlong's strength was no longer what it was before, and it can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds.
When he learned that Jiannu's bannermen were approaching him in mighty force, Mao Wenlong did not back down this time, but chose to fight head-on.
He first reported the news to Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli, and then took his 5,000 elite troops out of Pi Island by boat and stationed troops in Zhenjiang.
Huang Taiji divided his only 7,000 troops into two groups, with 4,000 troops on each side, under his personal command, and crossed the river directly into the hinterland of North Korea to plunder money, food and people.
The other three thousand people were used as suspected soldiers to attract the attention of Mao Wenlong and the rest of the Ming army, so that he would have sufficient time and safe space to attack North Korea.
He didn't want to fight Mao Wenlong at all, and he even disagreed with sending troops this time. It was just the old slave's order that forced him to do so.
For more than half a month, Mao Wenlong only had a small encounter with Jian Nu, and beheaded more than thirty heads.
After this battle, let alone fighting, he didn't even see any trace of Jian Nu, which made Mao Wenlong depressed for several days. Could it be that Jian Nu had changed his gender?
By the time he realized that something was wrong, Huang Taiji had already robbed a lot of money in North Korea and returned to Hetuala without stopping with a large amount of money, food and supplies.
With such a good opportunity but no meritorious achievements, Mao Wenlong was so angry that he cursed loudly and greeted all the eighteen generations of the old slave's ancestors.
But Jiannu had already left, so he had no choice but to lead his army back to Pi Island and continue to train troops and generals, waiting for the next opportunity to make achievements.
