When he entered the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was still discussing affairs with the cabinet, and Liu Honggradually came suddenly, which made Chongzhen extremely surprised.

"Aiqing didn't come to the court today, why did you come this time?" There were other ministers there, and Chongzhen naturally pretended to be slightly angry.

"Your Majesty, there is a big event, what do you think this is?" Liu Honggradually handed over Abnay's letter to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it suspiciously, and only glanced at it and didn't get angry, you monkey rushed over, dare to let me see this bird language?

Chongzhen, of course, didn't know Mongolian either, glared at Liu Hongji, and handed the letter to Shoufu Zheng Sanjun.

Zheng Sanjun's eyes were dizzy, and he looked at the faint light for a while, and he could probably see that it was Mongolian, so he found an interpreter from the Ministry of Rites.

After some tossing and checking, the interpreter concluded that the letter was genuine.

The content of the letter is not bad as Liu Hongjian expected, it is nothing more than that the Jurchen tribe is not a human being, as the Great Khan of Chahar, he remembered the old relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to rebuild the old friendship and fight against the powerful enemy Yunyun together.

"This letter was sent by an old Mongolian man, this person's name is Polochi, and Weichen concluded that this old man also has an important position in the Nachahar department."

Polochi's bearing, see and recognize that it is in the Mongolian tribe, even in the Ming Dynasty is also rare, if it is not for Liu Hong's gradual disobedience to play cards, ordinary people may not be able to break through this person's defense.

"This person also said that Jiannu's side is currently recruiting troops in the Mongolian tribes, and Weichen feels that the matter is very important, so he does not dare to delay, and immediately comes here to report to His Majesty."

The population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was only four or five hundred thousand, and it was not easy to gather 60,000 strong soldiers from it.

Chongzhen's face also became dignified, for more than ten years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty tossed him exhausted, and the finances of the Ming Dynasty were also dragged down by the nine sides, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is making a comeback, half a year later......

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be treated carefully, the minister heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to integrate the Mongolian tribes, a big peace policy, now more than ten years have passed, many tribes have reached a collegiate agreement with the Manchu Qing, this conscription, must be to plot my Ming!"

The second assistant Li Banghua sighed after speaking, he was really tired as a secretary of the military department, not to mention the lack of soldiers and food everywhere, and there was not even a person under his command who could fight well.

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard that the Chahar Department is not in harmony with the Manchus, the Chahar Department is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, and the vast pastures are envied by the Manchus.

Since the Chahar Department has taken the initiative to re-ally with my Ming Dynasty, according to Weichen, this matter is feasible, the Chahar Department can not only provide the required war horses for my Ming Dynasty, but also fight with the Manchus in the future, and the Chahar Department can also contain its rear, which is beneficial and harmless at that time! ”

Ni Yuanlu, the scholar of Jianjidian University, also spoke.

The rest of the cabinet elders also seconded the proposal, which made Chongzhen and Liu Hong feel deeply gratified.

Although most of the seven cabinet elders are old, their strategic vision is very unique, and although they are also born in reading the Four Books and Five Classics, they are not as pedantic as the rest of the ministers.

If this matter had been discussed in the court, it would have been overturned by now, and Liu Hongjian could even imagine that there would definitely be many civil officials shouting that treacherous people were not enough to talk about the alliance.

After listening to the opinions of the elders, Chongzhen did not make up his mind, but glanced at Liu Hongjian and motioned for him to say it too.

I don't know when it began, it seems that this has become a habit, some major matters related to the Ming Dynasty, after Chongzhen listened to the opinions of the cabinet, he often had to wait for Liu Honggradually to finish his opinions before making a conclusion.

And Liu Hongji's opinions are often favored and valued by Chongzhen, and it seems that ...... He is already above the cabinet.

Not only did Ni Yuanlu frown slightly, but even Zheng Sanjun, the first assistant to the cabinet, was deeply uneasy.

"Your Majesty, this alliance must be concluded, but the alliance is not yet an urgent matter at the moment, the Chahar Department itself has already taken care of itself, even if the alliance is formed, how many soldiers can they have?

It's just that you can take advantage of the alliance to buy more military horses from the Chahar Ministry, and the price can also be lowered.

Moreover, in order to prevent it from being a wall-to-wall grass, this matter must be deliberately passed on to Jiannu, which can not only strengthen the alliance between Daming and Abunai, but also make the disaster flow downward, and my Daming can also have more time to prepare. ”

Although this plan is a bit poisonous, as the Marquis of Daming, of course, the things he thinks about are of course important to the Ming Dynasty, as for the foreign races, wait for the snipe and the clam to fight, and the dog is bloody.

I went north to rescue Chahar from fire and water, don't they have to be grateful to Dade?

"An Guohou's plan is very good!" Meng Zhaoxiang, a scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, seconded the proposal.

Meng Zhaoxiang is the youngest in the cabinet except for Liu Hongchuan, who is a world friend, and speaking of his position as a scholar, it is also Chongzhen's recommendation of Liu Hongjian for meritorious service, especially as a reward.

Meng Zhaoxiang didn't say much, but he was not a pedantic person, so when he heard this clever plan, he immediately spoke in favor.

The rest of the people's eyes also lit up.

"This is not enough, Your Majesty, he is so Manchu that people dare to plot against my Daming, this is to deceive me Daming!

They raised the whole clan to fight only hundreds of thousands, I have 10,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he will do anything, I will also recruit troops in the Ming Dynasty, and I will levy more, according to Weichen, at least 500,000 soldiers! ”

Liu Hong gradually stretched out five fingers, and several people in the cabinet gasped.

Recruiting so many soldiers at one time, even if the silver in the Ming treasury can afford it, even the military rations can't bear it, and the silver can't be eaten, isn't this An Guohou crazy?

Of course, Liu Hongjian knew why these colleagues were worried, but he was still a little dissatisfied with these ministers.

Shanhaiguan to Yansui and Ningxia defense lines, in the Chengzu period, there were 300,000 garrisons, which were only the border guards of the nine sides, and the Beijing camp was 72 guards, and it was also 340,000 troops.

With such a large territory in China, there are millions of troops in later generations, but what about the current Ming Dynasty?

The entire northern defense line is worth 120,000 border troops, and the defense line is already stretched, and if you want to go out to meet the enemy, you can't get extra troops at all.

After the Beijing camp was divided between Huang and Qin, there are now only a pitiful more than 20,000 soldiers left.

According to the original plan, 100,000 will be levied next year, and another 50,000 will be levied the year after next.

"As for the food you are worried about, if there is not enough in Jiangnan, Weichen knows a person, only if he gives silver, he will definitely be able to get food for Daming!"

Liu Hong gradually remembered a person, and couldn't help but have a cloudy look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised.

PS: Guess who this person is?

PS: On the shelves of warning, tomorrow at 12 noon and 30 o'clock.
