Hauge said coldly, staring fiercely at the grassland in front of him. The hillside beneath his feet seemed to have suffered, with a large piece of it collapsing.
"Do you think he will escape?"
"Won't!"
A smile appeared on Nikan's dark gray face: "After running from Yiju to the edge of the Great Wall, Abu Nai still lacks confidence."
"But they have muskets."
Hauge waved his hand, as if he wanted to catch the eagle in the sky: "You have the courage to take refuge in Mingren. Now I want to see if the Mongols are courageous enough..."
After saying that, he directly mounted his horse and said to the people behind him: "Chahar Abu Nai betrayed the Qing Dynasty and stole the money and women at your disposal. After today, the Chahar tribe will no longer be ranked among the grasslands..."
For a time, thousands of cavalry were running and war horses were neighing. A large-scale cavalry battle was about to be staged outside Xuanfu.
…
Green buds sprout in spring, and with the rising sun, the city of Beijing wakes up again.
"Sir, why do you get up so early? I'm in Xiu Mu today!"
As soon as Mingyue saw Zhu Jing getting up with sleepy eyes, she hurriedly helped her.
"The military situation is urgent these days, so the inner city must be carefully watched."
Zhu Jing shook her head, freshened herself up, and left with a few buns in her mouth.
By the time we got on the carriage and arrived at the Yamen, it was already broad daylight.
"Commander——"
When the Qianhu guard on duty saw him coming, he immediately became energetic.
"There is no military situation at night!"
Zhu Jing asked.
"No!" Qianhu said.
After talking for a few words, he couldn't sit still on the cold bench in the yamen, so he found a teahouse to sit down and drink tea with his sword in hand.
A warm atmosphere spread over my body, and various chaotic sounds came from my ears.
"Tell me, isn't this Dutchman also red-haired? Why don't the other red-haired people help?"
"There are many red-haired countries, just like our North Korea and Annan. The people look similar, but they are actually two different things..."
"Go to the Taiwan government and give you a hundred acres of land. Is it true or false?"
"It was written in the communiqué and drafted by the cabinet. How can this be false?"
As he spoke, a big man groaned: "It's just that in that remote place, it's not as happy as the roots of our imperial city. I would rather be a beggar than go there..."
As he spoke, he drank the tea made from the broken powder in one sip, full of momentum.
"Hey, what you are thinking is quite beautiful." Another person said coldly: "The five-city army and horse division are now dedicated to catching beggars. I heard that they will all be taken to the Taiwan government to live with that red-haired man——"
Hearing this, Zhu Jing smiled knowingly.
When the Taiwan government was first established, the imperial court's territory was very large, but no one was willing to go there.
In a land with less than 100,000 people, and being governed by red hair, and thousands of miles across the sea, it is not like being an official, it is simply a living hell.
I heard that I was going to Taiwan for election as an official. The Ministry of Civil Affairs was crowded with people during these times, and no one wanted to go.
In the end, the emperor also thought it was ridiculous and directly appointed Yang Tingjian, the number one scholar in Chongzhen's 16th year, as the prefect of Taiwan.
At this time, the Jinshi from Guiweike in Chongzhen came into the court's sight, also to give these young Jinshi who had fled their official positions a chance.
That is to say, as long as there is no stain on the Jinshi, they will be appointed as county magistrates, and any vacancies will be filled.
Thinking like this, I suddenly saw the soldiers and horsemen brothers starting to clean up the street. After a while, I saw a horse galloping towards me with a flag on its body and galloping hard.
No need to shout, no need to give in.
It seems that he got used to it, and the street returned to normal after a while.
"Chahar Department——"
Zhu Jing was shocked and ran out immediately.
"Hey, guest..." Just as the waiter was about to stop him, a silver coin was placed on the table in the hotel, and he was instantly happy.
At this time, in the imperial garden, the emperor was lying half-lying, basking in the sun, surrounded by a group of flowers, and his breath was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Zhu Yixi always likes to break rules and traditions, especially when meeting ministers. He always likes to come to His Highness and breathe fresh air.
And for the ministers, the pressure has been reduced a lot and they are more relaxed.
In front of him stood Yang Tingjian, the newly appointed prefect of Taiwan, the number one scholar in Chongzhen's sixteenth year, and the forty-year-old number one scholar.
Although it was only five years ago when he won the first prize, he is now over fifty years old.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yixi feels comfortable letting him become the prefect. He is older and more stable.
Of course, looking at the top scholar with a white beard, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but think that there is no age limit for the imperial examination, which is not good for the country!
"Although there are four counties in Taiwan, chicken coops and fresh water are like villages. There are only a thousand fishermen in Penghu. Only the big fishermen are the real ones..."
After introducing the situation in Taiwan, the emperor saw his correct attitude and couldn't help but ask: "What do you think the responsibilities of the prefect of Taiwan are now?"
Is this sophisticated?
Yang Tingjian thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, for the new establishment of Taiwan, in the eyes of Weichen, the most important thing is to deal with the relationship between the Tibetan people and the Han people, and the second is to relocate people to fill the counties and increase the household registration..."
"You are right on both points."
Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "But the most important thing at the moment is the relationship between Haili, especially the Netherlands and other countries, and our country, the Ming Dynasty."
"The imperial court was short of money, but those Western barbarians were rich in gold and silver. The Taiwan government allowed them to build commercial buildings and live there just to make money."
Although the emperor kept talking about money, after experiencing the dilemma during the Chongzhen period, Yang Tingjian deeply understood that money was really related to the life and death of the imperial court.
"Wei Chen understands." Yang Tingjian nodded seriously.
"No, you don't understand."
The emperor shook his head and smiled: "As long as we have Haili, the contradiction between the Tibetan people and the Han people will be alleviated, the household registration will be smooth, and the migration of the population will continue."
"As long as you expand sea trade and do it well, all difficulties will become non-difficulties."
"Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit, and the world is bustling for the sake of profit--"
After saying that, the emperor stood up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "I hope that after your term of office, Tamsui and Chicken Coop can truly become a county."
"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations——"
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed seriously, showing a tenacity that would not give up until he reached his goal.
"Your Majesty..." At this time, Tian Ren came quickly with a serious face.
"You go down!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yixi dismissed the person, and then asked: "Where is it from?"
"Zhangjiakou!"
"how?"
Tian Ren directly handed over the military report.
Zhu Yixi opened it directly, read it ten lines at a time, then looked at it carefully again, and finally smiled:
"First defeated and then tied, the Chahar tribe was saved..."
The Chahar Department is actually not important. The most important thing is that the grassland north of Xuanfu must not be occupied by the Manchus, otherwise it will be difficult for them to sit still.
Therefore, after Abu Nai was defeated in the battle, he had ten thousand cavalrymen.
With the help of the Ming army, they did not hesitate to exchange their lives for lives. As a result, Hauge could not bear too many losses and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
The Khalkha Mongols, who were dawdling, naturally retreated.
The Chahar tribe was preserved, but the Manchu Qing's rule over the grasslands had also been shaken.
