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 people who served the Mongols on the grassland also had concerns, but no one cared about their thoughts.

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.

Compared with Beiyuan, the living environment in Wala 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, those with poor health cannot survive it.

There are also huge problems with food rations, and it is difficult to estimate the total population.

Today's grasslands are filled with bloody battles every day.

Be it blue jade or Zhu Di.

Facing the cavalry that constantly emerged from the grassland, it was difficult to say that they could maintain a complete victory.

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.

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.

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?

This resulted in only small-scale battles breaking out on the grassland, with the number of people ranging from hundreds to thousands.

The army of tens of thousands was completely invisible.

Even the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry were dispersed into small teams to carry out raids.

Zhu Ying has nothing to worry about.

As for the Huaixi nobles, they were constantly sent to the grasslands to join Lan Yu and Zhu Di.

Anyway, just fight and consume.

According to the current rising financial resources, material resources, manpower, food, etc. of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no problem in dragging him directly to the grassland.

After all, it is not allowed to recuperate.

In such an environment, there is no need to talk about any covenant, as the entire grassland remains in turmoil.

In ten years' time, if you look at him, how much temper he still has?

This side of Japan.

King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Shu of Qi arrived in Yancheng one after another.

When they first arrived in Yancheng, Zhu Fan and Zhu Shu were shocked by the prosperity of Yancheng.

Because here, they saw the prosperity that only belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is far behind the capital, but compared with some relatively wealthy Jiangnan areas, it is more than enough.

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.

"Thank you to the two imperial uncles for your concern. My nephew's health is no longer serious."

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.

Even the eunuch following behind him looked almost the same.

"These damn Japanese assassins actually assassinated my Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. They were simply audacious and lawless."

"Nephew, just wait. Since they have done it in the first grade, I will do it in the fifteenth grade."

"When I go back, I will definitely give you this bad breath."

Zhu Fan's tone was very angry, but within this anger, there was also a surprise that was easier to sense.

When the Ming Dynasty was previously restrained due to the treaty issue between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, Zhu Fan did not dare to send troops to conquer the Japanese country privately.

It's different now. The Ming Crown Prince was assassinated, which is equivalent to giving a very good excuse.

This gave Zhu Fan an opportunity to use force.

Zhu Shu also 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."

"Now that my nephew has encountered hardships and almost lost his life, I see that my uncle is feeling quite uncomfortable, so he is just like my third brother. After my seventh uncle returns, he will definitely make the Japanese country pay the price."

"But let them know that our Ming Dynasty is not someone they can offend."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard what his two uncles said.

In fact, I was cursing in my heart.

How could he not know the calculations of the two imperial uncles? They just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the Japanese country.

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.

Most of the overseas businessmen gathered here, and the Japanese businessmen basically did not go there.

Whether it is Jincheng or Qicheng, the status of Japanese people is extremely low, almost no different from slaves.

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.

"With the care of my two uncles, my nephew feels much warmer here."

"Just don't let the two uncles suffer any loss because of the nephew's matter. If this is the case, the nephew will feel guilty."

"If there is anything my nephew can help with, I ask my two uncles not to be polite and just speak up."

"My nephew must do his best and there will never be any ambiguity."

Everyone can say nice things, and Zhu Gaochi will not stop the affairs of the two imperial uncles.

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.

I guess it didn't develop very smoothly.

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.

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.

This is not a question of more soldiers and fewer soldiers.

In terms of numbers, the current strength of the three cities is probably about the same, but the leader is the most critical.

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 teenager like me can compare with. Moreover, there are no generals guarding the city.

.

If you really want to compare it, maybe your own Yancheng has no resistance at all to the two imperial uncles.

It's not a fight on the same level at all.

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.

Zhu Fan and Zhu Zhu just spent the night and hurried back.

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.

In terms of time, it is very tight.

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.

In fact, the situation of the Japanese country really did not have any resistance to Zhu Fan or the Ming Dynasty.

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.

Now there must be at least several thousand households.

A little more of a challenge.

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.

It's completely crushing.

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.

After the Peace Covenant, troops from other regions have naturally returned long ago.

How can any effective resistance be formed in a short period of time?

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 could not compare with the wealthy locals in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty.

This whole journey was just like a spring outing, quite boring.

"Your Majesty, good news, great news."
