Chapter 156 Take the initiative to welcome the Emperor Taishang
Five days later, the dark night enveloped the earth, and there were only stars of fire inside and outside Kaiping City.
Shitou was covered in armor and rode on a horse, and behind him were Ming cavalry like a dragon.
However, Su Cheng did not ride a horse, but just stood on a high slope in leather armor, staring at Kaiping City in the distance.
In this battle, Su Cheng left Yang Xin to guard Xuan Mansion, personally carried troops, and rushed outside Kaiping City.
In the city, Ye Bushang, commander of Heiwa, had already sneaked in, and waited for the agreed time, and cooperated inside and outside to break through the open.
Ren Yao stood behind Su Cheng, looking at the dark earth, and the boss in his heart said unsteadily:
"Marty, I always feel that your preparations for this battle are a bit hasty. We'll fight like this. Can you win?"
Several guards around him looked over, and they were all curious and didn't understand that the prince, who had been very cautious in fighting in the past, actually played like this this time.
Sucheng looked at Kaiping City in the distance:
"There are even more things that make you feel like a joke. This Kaiping City may not be controlled by us without fighting."
When the guards heard this, they looked disbelief. How could it be? This place is at least the land of the Urianha tribe. Urianha is also a large Mongolian tribe. In order to occupy the Urianha area, they fought several fierce battles with the Ming Dynasty.
Ren Yao shook his head repeatedly:
"Mr. I don't believe it. The people of Urianha are not so weak."
Before Ren Yao finished speaking, a large number of torches lit up at the head of Kaiping City. The long dragon-like torches illuminated most of the city. The city gates were wide open, and the torches like long dragons even opened outside the city.
Ren Yao, who just finished speaking, looked at the wide open city gate:
"Is this a city dedicated?"
Su Cheng nodded:
"Yes, Xiancheng has been extended. The Ge Gen tribe and Su Hu tribe worked together to win Kaiping and surrender to our Ming Dynasty."
Ren Yao immediately laughed:
"I'm just saying that the master cannot treat war like this. It turns out that he has made a decision. These two tribes that first defected to ours can actually take over Kaiping City."
Su Cheng looked at Gerile, who was facing the stone, with a sarcastic smile on his face:
"Of course they don't have this ability. With our support, they can't defeat the co-lord of Urianha. It's not that they rely on our spirits to open the way. Shabhutan was captured, so that they could win Kaiping."
"Urianha, after all, is just a small tribe."
Su Cheng's face was full of despised expressions. It was really inconspicuous to take down such a small tribe.
"The remaining Taining and Fuyu guards were taken down and captured Daning. Only then can they face the Tatar tribe and the Oirat tribe directly, and they can be considered a victory."
Ren Yao looked like this indeed.
Shitou, Gerile, Saihan and his party walked towards Sucheng.
When he got closer, Gerile led the lead and knelt down and gave Su Cheng a big gift:
"Geriler from the root of the Pueraria salutes to the noble Duke of Zhongguo, and wishes you good health and longevity forever."
Su Cheng waved his hand, interrupted the salute of the others, and asked:
"Can the traitors in the Sand and Dust Ministry be cleared?"
Saihan hurriedly said:
"The Duke of Return has been completely wiped out. Except for some who surrender, the rest have been killed."
Sucheng was a little unhappy with this:
"Don't kill people casually. If the military camps around Kaiping Guard are re-reclaimed, people need to be used. If you kill people casually like this, no one will do the military camps when they are reclaimed. Should you catch them first and dig the ground?"
The leaders of Sahangerile looked at each other.
Or is it a rock that is reckless:
"Don't worry, if you don't have enough staff then, I'll go and capture the old guy Yesen."
Su Cheng waved his hand:
"Let's camp and stay outside Kaiping City tonight. Start tomorrow, and clean up Kaiping City."
As he said that, Su Cheng pointed at the surroundings:
"There were four gate guards in Kaiping Guards in the past. This time I came here. Although it is not necessary to open all the troops, the military gates must be restored. This will not be the end of our Ming army's advance. Before August this year, I will celebrate your merits in Daning."
"Sweep the surrounding areas of Kaiping, and I will write to Your Majesty, setting Kaiping as the place of mutual markets, and opening wars with the northern tribes here."
After Su Cheng's words finished, changes immediately aroused. More than a dozen leaders of the Urianha tribe all looked red and were extremely excited.
...
Capital City, Wenhua Hall.
The Grand Court Meeting is underway.
Zhu Qiyu thought about the memorial of Sucheng that he had just received, and thought about Kaiping's recovery. Daning's recovery was also near, and he was about to cut off the Oirat and Tatars from the middle, so Yesen must have been anxious.
"It is not advisable to open a place with mutual markets in Kaiping, and this is a big mistake."
Wang Ji, the boss of Jingyuan, said hoarsely, his expression was a little excited, his gray hair was like dead grass in winter, and his words were even more shaking like dead branches.
"The Duke of Zhongguo's comments are just a joke. How far is Kaiping from the capital? It costs nearly half of the food, grass and supplies to Kaiping. If the goods are transported to Kaiping, the cost is only a lot. If the cost is so expensive, what is the benefit of the mutual market?"
Minister of War Yu Qian came out to report:
"I think this proposal of the Duke of Zhongguo is feasible and will open a trade in Kaiping. Kaiping will be the border between our Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes. Merchants are seeking profits. If there is enough profit, I believe there will definitely be a way to solve the embarrassment of nearly half of the spending."
The Minister of Revenue Chen Yi also reported to the rank of the matter:
"I think Duke Zhongguo's report is feasible. Since Duke Zhongguo came to Xuanfu and began to collect past business and travel taxes, the military pay expenditure in Xuanfu alone has been close to more than 400,000 taels. If the mutual market is set up in Kaiping, I believe Duke Zhongguo will definitely have a way to solve the problem of spending more than half of the money."
Among the seven masters, two of them had already agreed with Su Cheng's report. Wang Zhi of the Ministry of Personnel had never interfered with the military discussion. Chen Xun of the Ministry of Works was not in the capital, Hu Yi of the Ministry of Rites was an old fox, and Wang Wen of the Censorate was even more of Su Cheng's best friend.
This proposal was basically passed, and several nobles who were in conflict with Su Cheng's office could not make any noise.
Seeing that Su Cheng's memorial was basically agreed, Zhu Qiyu threw out the bait proposed by Su Cheng:
"The Emperor of the Supreme Being has been hunting north for more than half a year. My Ming Dynasty and the Ola have been in peace for nearly four months. I think I can send an envoy to the north at this time to welcome the Emperor of the Supreme Being south."
"boom"
As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the hall started to talk loudly. The Censor Jiuyi shook his whip and could not suppress the sound.
The news is really amazing.
The emperor has always disagreed with the matter of welcoming the Supreme Emperor. Now why has he suddenly changed his mind and proposed this proposal in person to send an envoy to welcoming the Supreme Emperor?
Zhu Qiyu looked at the surprised gaze at the Yujie, and his complacent heart was almost overwhelming. He cleared his throat and thought about Su Cheng's words:
"The situation is stable today, and the soldiers and horses in the north are strong. At this time, we welcome the Supreme Emperor. On the one hand, we can avoid the incident in the north and our Ming Dynasty falling into a passive situation; on the other hand, we can use this to intimidate the Mongolian tribes, and our Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty."
Yu Qian was the first to kneel down:
"Your Majesty is worried about the Ming Dynasty. It is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, the blessing of the country, and the blessing of the people."
