Chapter 20                                                             �

Just as the two sides were in a tense dynamic confrontation, good news came first in Haixi.

The Beiyang Governor's Office set out was a little later than Qi Jiguang. The reason was very simple. After he melted ice and the floating ice on the sea channel turned into water, the Beiyang Governor's Office marched from the sea, so naturally he could not pay attention to the sea conditions.

However, apart from this, this advance was simply smooth sailing.

The Ming army landed from the sea, and after the entire army came ashore, the Jurchens still didn't know what happened. Some Jurchens even came here to find business to see if they could sell some Han people's things.

This is also the current situation of the Jurchens, which fall apart and fight each other. All the Jurchens are scattered in villages, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Although there are about hundreds of thousands of people in the Haixi area, there are probably hundreds of thousands, but they cannot be combined at all.

At this time, the Jurchens could not even be said to be a slave society. The way he treated the slave was to sleep on the same kang. Because of the heating problem, there were better people sleeping on a large kang. Regardless of men and women, there were many mistresses and slaves who rolled the sheets.

Not to mention the male master and the female slave.

Faced with the tragic weather, the Jurchens were not good at farming, so they went to the south to grab people who could farm land, which was something they had to do. They didn't even think there was any problem.

Even more strange is that the Liaodong generals did not think that ordinary people were robbed by the Jurchens. What's wrong with it? Should we do business and do business, should we fight or fight.

Moreover, Chenghua Liting has been a long time ago, and many people can't remember it. Not to mention that the Ming army came from the sea. It is normal for them to not react for a while.

As a result, in the Battle of Haixi, there was almost no major resistance. I encountered some problems when I attacked a few cities.

However, the cities built by the Jurchens were all wooden cities, and they had no use under the cannons.

Arrived in Dinghaixi in almost a month.

Li Chengliang also played a great role in this. Li Chengliang was originally from the Northeast and the Li family in Tieling was also considered one of the generals and had a friendship with the Jurchens. The entire plan and steps for conquering the Jurchens were formulated by Li Chengliang.

In a word, it can be summarized, that is to attack large tribes and win over small tribes.

It is not good for the Ming Dynasty to rule here, but is good for the small tribes.

The large tribes monopolized trade with the Ming Dynasty, exploited these small tribes internally, and plundered the Ming Dynasty externally. These small tribes were either annexed by these large tribes, or they were unable to resist the cold wind in the northeast day by day.

In the end, I had to defect to the big tribe.

In fact, these small tribes are essentially small villages.

The Ming Dynasty directly ruled here and would not do anything to these small tribes. It is very likely to be included in the management of the government, just like some villages within the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult to establish mutual trust. Li Chengliang worked tirelessly and carried two or three guards, one tribe and another to persuade the Ming Dynasty court that made these tribes believe in each other. In order to make the mutual trust between the two sides, Li Chengliang accepted countless adopted sons.

He can be called an adopted son all over the world. So many years later, Yang is the most among the Han surnames in this area.

This is of course a later story.

Qi Jiguang confronted the Tartars on the grassland for more than two months, but the Tartars could not hold on anymore and were ready to retreat.

Qi Jiguang threw down his baggage and only brought tens of thousands of cavalry to chase them all the way. He fought three times in a row and chased them directly to the banks of the Krulun River. He beheaded tens of thousands of people, and more than 100,000 surrendered, and Tuman Khan was saved only.

Krulun was the name of the Qing Dynasty. There were many names for this river, but it is now called Yinma River. This battle was the great victory of Yinma River.

Qi Jiguang's battle shocked the world even more. He is a famous general in the world. If he doesn't move, he will move like thunder.

Before, when Qi Jiguang captured the main force of Mongolia on the grassland, I don’t know how many people were slandering Qi Jiguang and swept away all their bad reputations in one battle.

When Zhou Mengchen received the news, he was even more happy and almost jumped up.

Zhou Mengchen knew that the envoys who requested surrender in Mongolia must have arrived soon. Today, Dayan Khan's lineage was almost destroyed. The power structure of 60,000 Mongolian households formed by Mongolia after Dayan Khan is likely to live up to its existence.

In this way, what Zhou Mengchen promised can already be done, and at least the northern border troubles no longer exist.

This was also the time when the Ming Dynasty had the most advantage over Mongolia after Tumu Fort.

Within twenty years, the Mongolians should not want to restore their vitality.

Zhou Mengchen can make special reforms to the inside.

After the news spread, the capital was even more shocked, and countless people spontaneously set off lights and firecrackers. In an instant, it seemed that the capital had a new year.

After all, in the 29th year of Jiajing, it was not far away. It was not close to him. When I saw the Mongols burning and killing outside the capital, many of the people who were still alive.

But I didn't expect that in just over a decade, the host and guest had turned around, and the Ming Dynasty had already arrived on the grassland. Speaking of which, the Yinma River and the Fishing Sea were not far apart.

It makes people think of the prosperity of founding merits.

Jiajing was naturally overjoyed and refused to mention all kinds of rewards.

This great victory also forced a person to come to ask for a meeting.

It’s not someone else, but Li Ru, Duke of Fengguo.

Both of them are now in suspicious places, one is the head of civil servants and the other is the head of military honors. No matter how good the relationship between the two people is, Jiajing will not be able to sleep. Of course, both sides naturally have surveillance and restraint personnel, and no one can do anything arbitrarily.

Therefore, this time the two met in the cabinet, not in the cabinet’s room, but on a long table in the Wenyuan Pavilion, both times there were dense shelves with vast books on it.

From time to time, people tiptoed by the two of them.

When two people talk about things in this situation, they naturally want to let those who are interested to hear it, and they can speak to others. However, most of the Secretariats have grown the courage and dare not listen to the conversation between them here.

Li Ru said: "Is the little girl okay?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "He is now in Taiwan, and he is studying with his son under Donghai Bo's school. He heard from his servant that the couple has a good relationship."

Li Ru said: "Okay, that's fine."

Zhou Mengchen and Li Ru were silent again.

The two of them were silent because they had nothing to say, but the fact was that both sides had countless things to say. They just didn't know what to say. It seemed that they could only mention the matter of their children.

Li Ru said: "This time I came, I was actually for the affairs of the Privy Council."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen spread his eyebrows slightly and said, "Prince Academy?"

Li Ru said: "The Chief Superintendent, knowingly asked. The Privy Council should have controlled the power of the military and horses in the world. Today, do the army under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War or the Privy Council? Or how many people and horses are there in addition to the Beijing Camp? "

Li Ru's voice suddenly lowered and said, "This time, it's Your Majesty's intention."

Zhou Mengchen sighed slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, this great victory made Jiajing happy and his suspicious illness also happened.

The Privy Council was restructured by the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and in fact it is just to manage the Beijing camp. This is not a system issue, but a reality issue.

The reality is that the military power of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of civil officials except for the Jingying camp. No, in fact, the Jingying camp also had a special General Rong Shangshu to manage it. It was just that the nobles had a greater influence.

So here, no matter what kind of tricks you want to change them.

The Privy Council's rights will not be expanded too much.

After all, power is a thing of the same kind. It is difficult to give in moderation. Even if you give in, you may not be able to give in.

Jiajing naturally knew that the army outside listened to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council less.

Before this, although Jiajing was a little worried, he was not very worried. As long as he mastered the center, the local area would not be able to resist. Therefore, what Jiajing cared about was the army of the capital.

Because the army in the capital could affect the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Other local troops will not.

However, after this battle, Qi Jiguang's performance shocked Jiajing, who was worried that the troops everywhere would be too strong.

This made Jiajing mutter in his heart, and Li Ru's trip came here. In essence, he wanted power and military power.

However, Zhou Mengchen would give it to him too.

He was not weak, but he wanted to reach a balance, not just to let Jiajing eliminate suspicion. In his opinion, the cabinet should control the Ming strategy rather than have too much interference in specific military operations.

Power needs to be balanced.

The same is true for the power of the cabinet.
