Chapter 966: Chahar
This trip to Europe is unpredictable, but Zhu Xu must send someone to take this trip!
Along the way, he instructed Feng Zhu again, and even some details were said, for fear that Feng Zhu would make a mistake and not understand what he meant.
Not only Feng Zhu, but even Cao Huachun on the side could see the uneasiness in Zhu Xu's heart, if he could get out, he was afraid that he would have to go in person, which shows how important this matter is in Zhu Xu's heart.
Feng Zhu is also Zhu Xu's old man in the palace, and he has a very good sense of proportion, and he tries his best to give Zhu Xu peace of mind.
After a while, Zhu Xu came to his senses, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it." I am waiting for your good news in the capital, go early and return early, and have a safe journey. β
Feng Zhu bowed and said, "The slave obeys the order." β
Zhu Xu nodded lightly, listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside, and his heart was a little more stable.
This time to the vast sea, fortunately, there will be some care along the way, such a large fleet, ordinary people do not dare to make up their minds, along the mainland, the risk should be controllable.
The carriage had not been out of town for long before it stopped.
"Nikru, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Outside the carriage, awkward Chinese sounded.
"National teacher, please come in." Zhu Xu's laughter came out of the car.
Cao Huachun lifted the curtain, and Niklu, who was dressed in a fat cotton suit, walked in and saluted Zhu Xu again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." β
Zhu Xu looked at Nikru, this is also an acquaintance, compared to the past, he is thinner now, his face is full of dust, but his eyes are obscure.
"Lao Guoshi has been waiting for a long time." Zhu Xu looked at Nick Rudao with a smile.
Niklu looked at Zhu Xu quietly, compared with a few years ago, the Ming Emperor in front of him was more restrained, confident, and his speech and demeanor were quite 'profound'.
Nikru was cautious in his heart, bowed down again, and said, "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and it is natural for your subordinates to wait. β
Zhu Xu looked at Niklu's unmoved face, the more smiles on his face, and said, "The national teacher has come from afar, have you ever walked around?" The scenery of my Ming Dynasty is not a desert, and the grassland is comparable, so it should have a different flavor, right? β
Niklu said, "The prosperity of the capital alone, has opened the eyes of the ministers, lingering, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the only one in the world." β
The four words 'the only one in the world' are very particular, Zhu Xu didn't seem to hear it, and said directly: "Chahar doesn't take the sea, what about me, take the national teacher to see the sea, and you can stay for a few more days." β
Nikru's expression was unmoved, but his heart tightened, and his pupils shrunk to look at Zhu Xu.
From the capital to see the sea, it is at least two days to go back and forth, what is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty going to do? What are the intentions?
Nikru unconsciously had a trace of vigilance, and immediately leaned over and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers are here this time, firstly, to congratulate the emperor on his wedding and the Ming Dynasty." The other is to escort this year's tribute to express Chahar's reverence for His Majesty the Ming Emperor. β
Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, and said: "Gift list, the Ministry of Rites has already presented it to me, the King of Shunping has a heart, and the national teacher is also hard, stay in the capital for a few more days, I have a lot of things, I hope to discuss with the national teacher." β
King Shunping, the title given to Lin Dan Khan by the Ming Dynasty.
If it was an ordinary emperor, he would definitely think that this was a polite remark, but Nikru's heart was beating wildly, and it was not an ordinary emperor in front of him!
He has an in-depth study of the Ming Emperor in front of him, this person, does not like the rules, hates the etiquette, everything is only according to his heart, he rarely acts 'unintentionally', often can predict his big actions from small things, but no one can detect it in advance.
Is this to detain me?' The Ming Dynasty decided to make a move against Chahar? No, the Ming Dynasty has no wind at all, and it is still at an important juncture in renovating internal affairs, and the Ming Dynasty is not sure, it will not be ......
Nikru's mind was in turmoil for a while, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, and he couldn't settle down.
Zhu Xu didn't care about Nikru's expression, looked ahead, and said, "National teacher, can you play my Ming Dynasty's Go?" β
Nikru looked slightly stunned, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Chahar's people have been in trouble recently, cattle, sheep, horses, starvation, and freezing to death, please ask Your Majesty to allow the herdsmen of Chahar to enter the customs to avoid the cold, and they can ......help in terms of grain, grass, cloth, etc."
"No problem, how much do you need, report it to the cabinet, and I will let them approve it." Zhu Xu said unusually directly and decisively.
Nikru looked at Zhu Xu more and more vigilantly, worried in his heart.
Lin Dan Khan has indeed been arrogant recently, repeatedly offended the Ming Dynasty, and annexed more and more large and small tribes, as if he had violated the taboo of the Ming Dynasty and caused fear.
Chahar has recovered a little in recent years, far from unifying Mongolia, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty is entangled in various tribes to crusade against Chahar, even if Chahar is undefeated, it is also a lose-lose situation.
Listening to the words of the Ming Emperor, Niklu was very uneasy, and said quietly, "Your Majesty, the subordinates are not good at the way of Go, and I don't know what instructions are for summoning?" β
Zhu Xu said: "It's nothing, it is the etiquette system of the imperial court to summon envoys from various countries, if the national teacher has anything to say to me, you can say it together." β
Nikru looked respectful and said, "Your Majesty, Chahar is getting more and more dangerous, and the subordinates cannot leave, so today I hereby ask the subordinates to return as soon as possible." β
"Okay, anytime." Zhu Xu said with a smile. His words fell, and the carriage came to a slow stop.
"The subordinate retreats." Nikru looked at Zhu Xu deeply and saluted again.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "The national teacher has a good journey." β
The more polite Zhu Xu became, the more uneasy Nikru became, and he respectfully got out of the carriage and watched the convoy leave quickly.
"National teacher?" A personal soldier beside Nikru said suspiciously.
Nikru looked solemn and said, "Pack up your things, and ...... immediately." Wait a minute! β
"What's wrong?" The pro-soldier was just about to agree, but he was puzzled.
Nikru looked at the convoy that had gone away, frowned, and said to himself: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to make a move against Chahar, it shouldn't let me go, and besides, this is not the city of the Ming Dynasty emperor, what is he going to do?" Do you want to get away with it? Or is it just pressure? What the hell is the idea? β
Nikru's mind was even more confused, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Zhu Xu in the carriage squinted, looking at the shaking curtains, his fingers constantly tapping his knees.
Nikru's words did not leak, which shows that Chahar already has a certain strength and can argue with Daming.
Can't wait any longer!
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's somewhat tired face, and said, "Your Majesty, there is still more than half an hour left in the Jingdong camp, why don't you rest for a while." β
Zhu Xu was busy for a while, and he had very little time to rest, so he glanced at him and said, "Later, Sun Chengzong, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui will be called into the carriage, and I will explain to them something." β
"Yes." Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu glanced at the pile of books in front of him, glanced at Feng Zhu again, and said, "You can take a look at these along the way, there are Zheng He's, there are local chronicles, and the biographies of merchants and missionaries who went to sea, etc., which should be used on the road." β
Feng Zhu bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave will definitely see through it carefully and eat it thoroughly." β
Zhu Xu nodded imperceptibly, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep for a while.
From Jingshi to Tian, Jinwei, even if it takes a day, he needs to recuperate and seize the time to rest.
The carriage went east, and the guards beat the horses, like a stream of iron, galloping by, bringing a gust of wind.
At the same time, Jingdong Daying.
Jin Guoqi, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui and others followed behind Sun Chengzong, standing on the high platform, quietly watching the soldiers of the phalanx below pass from east to west.
Jin Guoqi is the chief soldier of the Jingdong battalion, which was previously stationed here, and now has been transferred to Tian. Jinwei, Gongwei Jingshi Portal.
He looked at the phalanx that he had passed through, and said to Sun Chengzong and the others: "My lord, in addition to this square of more than 10,000 people, there are also 3,000 artillery, 800 artillery, and 3,000 ironclad cavalry, all of which are well-trained, and the ministers have practiced before, so there will be no mistakes, please rest assured." β
In addition to the artillery and ironclad cavalry, the other Sun Chengzong had already seen it, looked at the ironclad cavalry and artillery not far away, and said: "Cavalry, the artillery must be taken care of, there must be no mistakes in this big exercise!" β
Jin Guoqi said: "Yes, Xia Guan understands." β
Sun Chengzong looked at Cao Wenzhao and the others again, and said: "In the past few days, you have stepped up your training, this exercise must be done properly and meticulously!" β
Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Shujiao and others didn't dare to be careless, raised their hands and said, "The lower officials obey orders." β
Sun Chengzong still had a lot to do, and after a few more glances, he turned around and got off the high platform.
Cao Wenzhao and a group of people followed him, all of them were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and they needed to step up their training, and the big martial arts was just around the corner.
Before noon, Zhu Xu's carriage arrived at a post station outside the city, and the team changed horses and rested while waiting for Sun Chengzong and others.
In the carriage, only Cao Huachun accompanied Zhu Xu, and when Zhu Xu was sober, Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, the celebrant has synthesized the recitals of the cabinet and the governors, sorted out their thoughts and opinions, and several of them are still secret. β
Cao Huachun had a piece of paper in his hand, which was obviously brief, and he wanted to hand it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu didn't sleep well last night, he was a little sleepy in the warm carriage, he didn't answer, and said with his eyes closed: "Don't look at it, it's all clichΓ©s, wait for me to take care of these things, and then I'll give them a lesson when I go back." β
Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu had a plan in his heart, glanced at the sketch of the writing, and hesitated: "Yes, the slave understands." β
It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui to come.
"Ministers, see the emperor." The three saluted outside the carriage.
Zhu Xu was in a hurry to go to the sky. Jin Wei looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Can you leave now?" β
Cao Huachun hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's okay." β
"Come in, walk with me for a while." Zhu Xu said outside.
The three of them answered and walked into the carriage from outside.
Immediately, the convoy set off and slowly continued eastward.
Sun Chengzong naturally knew why Zhu Xu was waiting for him here, so he pretended to say in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the big martial arts show is basically ready, and it can start in four days." For the people everywhere, there are also plans for the seats......"
Zhu Xu patted his knee with his right hand and thought, "Well, I will leave this matter to you, and you must make it beautiful for me." Although the border troubles of my Ming Dynasty are slightly better than those in the Apocalypse years, there are many crises, natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, and we still need to guard against arrogance and rashness, and do things with concentration. β
Zhao led the teaching, and Man Gui and the two lowered their heads slightly, as if they were listening to the hadith, but there were no words.
Sun Chengzong thought carefully about Zhu Xu's words, and saw that there was no actual content, so he said, "Yes." Your Majesty, regarding the 'military reform', the ministers have basically drawn up, from the number, personnel, new military ranks, military system, and commanders of major battalions......"
Before Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Let's put these down first, I came to the three of you to talk about Chahar." β
