Emperor Chongzhen's side had just finished a twenty-decade-long inspection, and he returned to the Forbidden City from Tongzhou non-stop, and before he had time to accompany a few beloved concubines, he was entangled in various government affairs. Fastest updates

First of all, the upcoming spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen requires Emperor Chongzhen to personally review and approve various arrangements, including the adjustment and change of the north and south lists, as well as the addition of Jinshi admission quotas for foreign vassal states.

These things have been prepared by the ministers in Beijing such as Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and other ministers in Beijing.

Although these things have the rules set by Chongzhen in the first year to follow, it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but many of these matters also need to be approved by Emperor Chongzhen, after personally reviewing it, the imperial pen can only be implemented!

In addition to the incident of Chongzhen's fourth year, Emperor Chongzhen's military attache Yang Zhen, Deng Tianhe, and Hasgan's entourage, which Emperor Chongzhen sent out to work on the left-wing grassland of Horqin a few years ago, also returned to Beijing smoothly before Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing.

And the things they handled involved Concubine Lan of Chuxiu Palace, and even included Concubine Yi of Yongshou Palace and Concubine Ning of Xianfu Palace.

These secret affairs involving the harem are not matters that the cabinet or military aircraft department of the imperial court can bypass the emperor and deal with directly.

Since the cabinet and the military aircraft department, including the Li Fan Yuan, can't handle it, then of course all this has to be done by Emperor Chongzhen himself after he returns.

This time, after Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, he immediately summoned Yang Zhen and Deng Tianhe, and listened to their introduction of the journey to Chaganhot in the north, as well as the conditions they reached when they met Borzigit Zaisang, the leader of the left-wing Mongols of Horqin.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen immediately invited Lan Guifei Hai Lanzhu to come over in the Qianqing Palace, and summoned Hasgan, who went north to Chaganhot with Yang Zhen and others, and also sent the brother of Lan Guifei, who served as the deputy of the pedestrian department in the Li Fan Academy, Manzhu Xili.

Hai Lanzhu and Manzhu Xili sisters and brothers listened to Haskan's report in person, and read the letters from the Horqin grassland, and learned that their father, Horqin left-wing Bel Zaisang, finally saw the situation clearly, and the stone that had always hung in the hearts of the two people finally fell to the ground.

Manzhu Xili knew that it was basically impossible for him to return to the Horqin steppe, unless the Jurchen Dajin Kingdom was destroyed, or the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes completely sided with the Ming Dynasty in the war between the Ming and Jurchens.

Although Manzhu Xili is young, although he is a typical gentleman, he is not stupid at all.

Before being left in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as the personal attendant of Huang Taiji, the Tiancong Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, he not only often went in and out of the Khan's palace in Shenyang City, but also the yamen of the Jurchen Eight Banners and the mansions and courtyards of those Jurchen magnates were completely open to him.

Therefore, Manzhu Xili can be said to be very familiar with the situation up and down the Houjin Kingdom, and fully knows the strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses of the Jurchen Eight Banners.

Now, he has been left in the territory of the Ming Dynasty for more than a year, and in this more than a year, in addition to the fact that he can not easily leave the capital and go out without authorization, all other aspects of the Ming Dynasty are also completely open to him.

Including the secret Shenji Battalion station in the past, and even the new firearms in the Shenji Battalion, they were all completely open to him.

In contrast, the Manzhu ritual has been very clear that compared with the Ming Dynasty, an old empire established for nearly three hundred years, the Jin State established by the Jurchens in Liaodong is simply a small country living in a remote corner.

Although the Horqin Mongol tribe is not the opponent of the Jurchen Eight Banners army, but in front of the Ming Dynasty's fortified cannons, and in the face of the Ming Dynasty's continuous introduction of new firearms, no matter how powerful the Jurchen Eight Banners' archery is, they are also flesh and blood after all.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has a large land and a large population, and the population, land and products of any province can catch up with the so-called Dajin Kingdom in a remote corner.

Manzhu Xili, like his sister Hai Lanzhu, lived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty for more time, the more he looked forward to the relatives and friends of the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribe, and quickly recognized the situation and made the right choice.

For his father Zhaisang's attitude of not offending or flattering the wall, Hai Lanzhu has seen it clearly in the news brought back from Hasgan, but Zhaisang is his father after all, and he can't show it except for a slight dissatisfaction in his heart.

In front of Hailanzhu and Manzhu, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy with the news that Hasgan had brought back, as if Horqin's left-wing Beile Zaisan had already concluded an alliance with him.

Emperor Chongzhen's performance made Hai Lanzhu and Manzhu Xili sisters and brothers completely relieved.

No matter how hesitant his father's attitude is, how two-sided he is, as long as the Emperor in front of him can be satisfied.

In fact, the news of the left wing of Horqin brought back by Yang Zhen, Deng Tianhe, and Hasgan did not exceed Emperor Chongzhen's expectations.

Such a thing could not have been rushed in the first place, and the current loosening of Jaisang's attitude is already an excellent sign.

Now the Chongzhen Emperor firmly believes that as long as Beile Zaisan of Horqin left-wing Mongolia takes the first step, then he will have to take the second and third steps until he completely comes to the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen summoned Manzhu Xili and Hasgan with Lan Guifei Hai Lanzhu, in front of these sisters, brothers, masters and servants who were born in Horqin's left-wing Mongolia, he ordained Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau, to allow the Hengxing Company in Zhangjiakou, which was directly managed by the Internal Affairs Government, to specialize in trade with the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes.

As for the categories of trade, there is no need for Emperor Chongzhen to say more, Wang Chengen, who has long understood the emperor's thoughts, understands it in his heart.

Since Emperor Chongzhen returned to the Forbidden City, he has been busy for two days in a row, handling the affairs of Chongzhen's fourth year of spring and the matter of winning over the left-wing Mongolian tribes of Horqin.

The spring of Chongzhen's four years may be destined to be a different spring.

On the evening of March 18, Emperor Chongzhen had just finished dinner with Empress Zhou and was about to stay in the Kunning Palace.

"Chen Qin ordered Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft in the northwest, to pay homage to His Majesty in Anding, and in early February, as soon as he heard that the city of Hezhou was restored, he dispatched 100,000 soldiers from Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningzhu to march westward.

"On the night of February 28, His Majesty's decree was sent to Pingliang, and the ministers received the decree and set off, and at noon on the 30th, he led the Qin Dispatch to settle in Anding, and on the next two days, he met Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, and the courtiers of King Wu'anbo to settle down, convey His Majesty's will, and arrange the recovery of Lanzhou.

"The ministers and other parties raised food, grass and military supplies, and the deployment was set on the second day of the first month of March, and several large armies heard the order, from south to north, from east to west, step by step, marching together, trying to force the thieves of Lanzhou to abandon the city and cross the river, and force their people to go west.

"In a few days, the Jincheng on the periphery of Lanzhou (later Yuzhong, Gansu), Anxiangqiang (later Yongjing, Gansu) and other places in Henan have been recovered by the official army, and the city of Lanzhou's throat and key is close at hand!

However, unexpectedly, at this moment, in the middle of the night of the fourth day of the first month of March, the minister was shocked to hear that he was alone in Xining City, which was alone in the river and fell into the hands of the western thief Zhang Xianzhong and Lin Yangsheng!

"After the West Thief Zhang, Lin and others broke away from Hezhou on the same day and supported the north into Jishi Pass, they set up a heavy defense at Jishi Pass, and the road under the pass was rugged, and the situation on the pass was precipitous, and the fourth town of the Guards Tiger Dawei Biao had been stationed in the pass for many days, but unfortunately the heavy artillery ammunition did not arrive, and the minister did not order it to attack, so that the eastern and western officials and troops were isolated, so that Xining was lonely for a long time, resulting in this loss, all the ministers' faults!

"Today, there are people who have taken refuge in Xining City, fleeing over the mountains and mountains, and it is rumored that the south gate of Xining City was dedicated to the people on the night of March 2, and the West Thief Zhang, Lin and other troops took advantage of the situation to attack, and the city guards Li Hongsi and Li Zhensheng were killed by the thieves!

"There are even people who fled to the east, and there are rumors that the whole city of Xining was slaughtered, but the two places are blocked by the mountains, the sound is isolated, and the ministers are unconfirmed, so they dare not make a conclusion! ……”

In the past few days when Emperor Chongzhen had just returned from his inspection of Dagukou, Baiyecheng and Tongzhou, his heart was high and his confidence was high, and he suddenly received such a military report at this time, which was simply a basin of cold water on the head, which directly woke him up from complacency.

At about the morning of March 19 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Sun Chengzong, Minister of Military Aircraft, Shangshu Nan Juyi, Minister of Military Affairs, Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying, Deputy Envoy Jiang Yueguang, Dolzidarhan, and several senators and housekeepers on duty in the Military Aircraft Department to study the sudden changes in the northwest together.
