Erke Chu Huer's physique is extremely strong, like a brown bear walking upright, but when it comes to appearance, it is more sorry, a big face with flesh, a pair of small eyes and a collapsed nose, not tall, still a looped leg.

However, as an upper-class nobleman of the former Chahar Ministry, in addition to marrying a noble-born and average-looking Da Fujin, he also has a bunch of flamboyant-looking side Fujin, and several daughters born to the side Fujin, which is quite reasonable.

When Erke Chu Huer had the idea of joining Wuchuan Bozu's birthday, he thought about it and quickly hit his daughters.

At a banquet that invited Zu Dashou to his home for a banquet, Erke Chu Huer specially called out a few daughters who had been carefully dressed up to toast Zu Dashou and his generals in turn, and one of them made Zu Dashou look at it a few more times.

It didn't take long for Liu Tianlu, the guard of Wuchuan Town, who went to Guihua City to report on his work, to be the matchmaker in the center, and Erke Chuhuer, one of the 60,000 households in the former Chahar and a few years younger than Zu Dashou himself, became Zu Dashou's father-in-law.

The marriage between Zu Dashou, the chief military officer of Guihua Town, and Erke Chuhuer, the head snake of Guihua City, of course, can't hide it from the Xuanda Governor's Mansion, nor can it hide from the superintendent Wu Fu, who led the army to garrison Jining, and even more can't hide it from the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang personnel in the Naturalization City.

And Zu Dashou himself did not think of concealing it, because his extravagant acceptance of the daughter of Erke Chuhuer, the current deputy general of the former Chahar Wanhu and the current deputy general of the naturalization town, also caused a sensation among the Han and Mongols inside and outside the naturalized city.

Jinyiwei and a person secretly stationed in Naturalization in Dongchang, as well as Wu Fu, the Imperial Historian of the Naturalization Town Supervisor, and Yang He, the Governor of Xuanda, all reported this matter to Emperor Chongzhen.

If it were left in the past, such an incident, that is, the situation of the marriage between the border army commander of the imperial court and the upper echelons of the Mongol tribes in Saibei, would have been seriously dealt with by the imperial court.

At the very least, after such a thing happened, Wuchuan Bozu Dashou, the chief military officer of Naturalized Town, would definitely not be able to be a military officer.

Even if he is not punished, he will definitely be transferred out of this place by the imperial court.

But this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not care about such a thing, and in the face of the impeachment of Zu Dashou from naturalization, Xuanda and the court, Emperor Chongzhen not only did not punish him, but also showed an attitude of support and encouragement.

Zu Dashou himself did not report this matter to Emperor Chongzhen in private.

Of course, he also did not have the power to secretly compromise, nor did he have a channel to report to the emperor in private.

However, no matter what Zu Dashou wants to achieve through this marriage, and no matter what Erke Chu Huer wants to achieve, all of this is within the scope of Emperor Chongzhen's tolerance.

Speaking of which, Erke Chu Huer has a plan for marrying a daughter, and of course his ancestor Dashou has a plan for taking a concubine.

After Zu Dashou was awarded the title of Wuchuan Bo and moved to Guihua City as the chief military officer of Guihua Town, Emperor Chongzhen received his general seal of Zhengxi, but not long after, the emperor gave Zu Dashou the seal of the general Zhenshuo that he had withdrawn from Hou Shilu, so that he could justifiably deal with the threat that might come from the Mongol tribes in Mobei in the future.

As the most powerful person in Naturalization City, Zu Dashou is now located in the Wuchuan Bo Zhenshuo General's Mansion in the city, and there is no shortage of all kinds of beauties.

There is no shortage of Datong's mother-in-law and aunt, who are famous for Xuanda Biansai, and there is no shortage of Yangzhou thin horses from merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And the reason why he was willing to go to the banquet at Erke Chuhuer's house was, of course, his own idea.

Zu Dashou himself is certainly not a lustful ghost, and the beauty of Erke Chuhuer's daughters is far from reaching the point where he has to marry at the risk of being impeached by the Chinese officials.

The reason why he did this was only to strengthen his control over the Mongolian region in Guihua City and its surrounding areas through his marriage with the Erke Chuhuer family of the former Chahar Wanhu, and to further stabilize the Mongols of the Mongol tribes in Monan who had annexed to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, things like this also happened to Liu Tianlu, the guard of Wuchuan Town, and to the generals at all levels under the command of Zu Dashou and Liu Tianlu.

Although the high-ranking generals of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty and the intermarriage of foreign vassals who belonged to them are still relatively sensitive in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, it is a situation that the Chongzhen Emperor is happy to see now.

After Lin Dan Khan fled to Qinghai, especially after the Jurchens first won and then defeated and withdrew from Monan, it was difficult for the Mongol tribes in Monan to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

For Emperor Chongzhen, winning over the Mongol tribes in southern Mo is an important strategy for him now.

As long as the generals of the towns on the nine sides can do not intermarry with the Jurchens, as for the other foreign vassals, such as the Mongols, Koreans, Burmese, Ryukyu, Annam, Kangzang and other ethnic groups, they can do whatever they want.

Although Emperor Chongzhen's attitude did not form a clear will, since Emperor Chongzhen won Hailanzhu himself, many generals in border towns have counted it in their hearts.

Especially after Pyongyang's Bo Liu Xingzuo and his Liu brothers killed their Jurchen wives, and through Zhang Pu and others as matchmakers, they married women from powerful Korean families as wives and concubines one after another, such things have become more and more common.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen himself certainly has some of his considerations.

Whether it is the birthday of Wuchuan Bozu or the brothers of Pyongyang Boliu Xingzuo, they can gain a firm foothold in their respective places, which is a good thing for them personally, and it is also a good thing for the current Ming Dynasty.

Also based on this consideration, before the Queqiao meeting of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of Chongzhen's fourth year, Emperor Chongzhen personally erased Cao Bianjiao and Zu Keyong from the list of generals who participated in the Lantern Festival Queqiao Lantern Festival, and prevented them from marrying the female officials in the palace who were about to leave the palace to marry.

Emperor Chongzhen did this not out of dissatisfaction or disappreciation for these two attendant military attachés.

On the contrary, his purpose in doing this was to let them, the young generals who had proven themselves loyal to the Ming Dynasty in history, remain unmarried for the time being, and the next step was to intermarry with the nobles of the Mongolian foreign vassals who had already been attached or had not yet been attached.

Therefore, for things like marriages and marriages that happened to those border generals in Guihua City and Wuchuan City, Emperor Chongzhen really has no need to oppose and put an end to them.

How to achieve effective rule over the steppe tribes of Saibei or Inner and Outer Mongolia has always been a major problem faced by the Han dynasty in the Central Plains.

Now this problem is also in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

It is good to say that the Mongol region in southern Mobei can be relocated from the interior on a large scale to cultivate farmland or develop mines, and achieve long-term peace and stability through intermarriage between ethnic groups, but what about the Mongolian region in Mobei?

The land there is vast, and it is a plateau area, and the winter is long, which is not suitable for the survival of agricultural people.

No matter how much the imperial court encouraged, there would not be too many Han people crossing the Hanhai Sea to Mobei.

This is a fact that has been verified in the history of later generations.

For such a region, how did the Ming Dynasty truly incorporate it into its territory and achieve long-term rule?

War is a necessary means, and garrisons are also necessary means, but it is by no means the best and last resort.

At present, no one in the Ming Dynasty may have thought about such a problem, but now Emperor Chongzhen, who has always taken one step to see three steps, or even one step to see thirty steps, can't help but think and layout in advance.

In his opinion, in addition to continuing to use the spiritual means of Lamaism as a means of governing such regions, the most economical of the remaining imaginable means is to make his descendants directly vassal kings of these regions.

Then this requires a prince or even several princes who are acceptable to the upper echelons of the Mongol tribes in northern Cyprus.

Among the three concubines from Horqin Mongolia at the moment, Emperor Chongzhen is most pleased to see that Hai Lanzhu, who was born in the Borzigit clan, can give birth to a prince.

After all, among the tribes of Northern Mongolia, the Borzigit clan is not only a little more noble in origin and bloodline, but also very powerful.

This makes it easier for the prince born to Hai Lanzhu to be recognized by the upper echelons of the Mongolian tribes in northern Saibei in the future.

Of course, it is still unknown whether Hai Lanzhu can give birth to a prince, even if she can't give birth to a prince, Ning Concubine Su Rina or Yifei Ulan Tuya who gave birth to a prince is almost the same, and they are more suitable for sealing the king of Saibei than a prince of pure Han blood.

It's just that all kinds of thoughts in this, including the strategic layout of Emperor Chongzhen's inner heart for the Mongolian foreign domain, among the current courtiers, except for Wu Weiying, the Marquis of Gongshun, and Niu Juming, the staff of the Ministry of War, he has not revealed even a single star to anyone.

There are some things that can only be done but not said, or can only be understood by the courtiers but cannot be passed on by themselves.

This is also the fundamental reason why the emperors of all dynasties need one or two henchmen in the court.

Let's say that after Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly suddenly crowned the Zhenwu Xuantian God as the protector of the country and blessed the Holy Arctic Town, the good news of various coincidences began to come one after another.

First of all, heavy snow fell again in the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, and the drought that lasted for a year was suddenly lifted, and then Concubine Ning Su Rina gave birth to Zhu Cijiong, the third son of the emperor who was extremely important to the future strategy of Saibei for Emperor Chongzhen.

In addition, in the middle of February of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the Forbidden City, received two good news that made him happy!

One of them, from the far northwest.

The other one is from Tianjin, which is close at hand.
