In fact, this is the famous Jiapigou gold mine in later generations.

This news reached the capital, directly changing the degree of control the Ming court had over Haixi.

Zhu Qizhen was simply blessed with double happiness.

Of course he knew that there were many gold mines in the Northeast, but Zhu Qizhen could not explore it himself, and many places in the Northeast were in an undeveloped state. They were all deep mountains and old forests, and there were also Siberian tigers, bears and ferocious beasts from time to time. A few people could not make the trip at all.

Large-scale geological exploration was even more difficult for the imperial court to accomplish.

Firstly, there is a shortage of people, and secondly, Zhu Qizhen is also afraid of chaos from below.

After all, after what happened with Ye Liuzong, Zhu Qizhen was very cautious about any mining industry. He would rather get a little less money than cause more trouble.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen turned around in his mind about large-scale prospecting, and then he was pressed on.

Therefore, this gold mine was an unexpected surprise for Zhu Qizhen.

Not to mention, Li Manzhu was conferred the title of head. Jianzhou Jurchen no longer exists. After the Jurchen tribes in various places were reshuffled, most of the Jurchen people were directly subordinate to the Haixi Dusi.

Zhu Qizhen received a report from Jiao Li.

There are already hundreds of thousands of Jurchen tribe members under the jurisdiction of Haixi Dusi.

With these hundreds of thousands placed in the interior, there is no prefecture or county with as many people, but in Haixi Dusi, we can support more soldiers who can fight.

Plus financial subsidies for this gold mine.

Preliminary exploration shows that this gold mine can produce 30,000 taels of gold a year, which is equivalent to more than 300,000 taels of silver. In many places, the annual income of a province is no more than this.

Zhu Qizhen naturally doesn't care about 300,000 taels of silver, but these 300,000 taels of silver can be directly subsidized into the military expenditure of Haixi Dusi, and Haixi Dusi can do more things.

Zhu Qizhen directly ordered the establishment of six Haixi cities, Haixi Acropolis, Shuangcheng Acropolis, Maolian Acropolis, Jianzhou Acropolis, Jincheng Acropolis, and Sandaoguan City.

To accomplish what Zhu Qizhen had always wanted to do, blockade the front line of Changbai Mountain and allow Waci to attack Haixi, he could only enter the Songnen Plain along the Heilongjiang River, and then go south. This road is mostly swampy and may not be convenient for the cavalry to march.

In this way, Haixi Dusi will be much safer.

Mobei

I also received the news of Li Manzhu's death first.

However, I didn’t pay much attention to it at first.

When Ye Xian withdrew his troops from Haixi, he treated Li Manzhu as an abandoned son. It didn't matter when he died.

Now we are discussing a major matter first, that is, whether to go south to the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of natural disasters, various tribes in Mongolia started talking about it.

Tuotuo Buhua said: "The horses on the grassland need to eat grass if they want to travel thousands of miles a day. The warriors on horseback need time if they want to return to the capital. King Huai, all of us want to

Chongguang Yuan Dynasty, but if the Southern Dynasty could be defeated so easily, Xue’s army in Dadu would already be timid.”

"In the face of the Southern Dynasties, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious. This year, Changsheng is angry and will not allow grass to grow on the grassland. All animals will be unable to live. The warriors are all hungry. How can they pull up their bows and arrows and ride their horses southward."

"What we need is pasture, to recuperate, let the cubs grow up, and get the mare pregnant, not to fight now."

Generally speaking, it is divided into two parts. One part is led by the various tribes of Wasashi, who are in favor of going south.

For Wasi, instead of causing chaos in the grassland and suppressing it everywhere, it is better to drive these troops to attack the Southern Dynasties. Anyway, they are all dead. As long as Wasi's own troops are not killed, it is enough for them.

But the Mongolian ministries were unwilling.

It's simple, no one wants to be cannon fodder.

They gnawed the bones and let the Waca tribe eat the flesh.

Who knows that they are all unbalanced in their hearts. But they don’t dare to oppose it blatantly, but there is one person who can do it, and that is the nominal Khan of Mongolia, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.

Facing Ye Xian, who was moving from one victory to another, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua felt like he was carrying an edge. He understood the thoughts of Tuo Huan and his son very well.

Knowing that one day, Ye Xian will definitely usurp the power of the Golden Family.

If we don’t do it now, it’s just because we don’t have the time.

Therefore, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua seems to be at peace, but in fact he has been trying to find a way to resist. Last year's war allowed Tuo Tuo Bu Hua to see an opportunity. Many tribes that suffered heavy losses pinned their hopes of resistance on Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.

Tuo Tuo Bu Hua also knew that they may not have good intentions. But politics is inherently about the relationship between use and being used. Tuo Tuo Bu Hua grasped this straw without hesitation.

"The Great Khan." Azizhiyuan said: "Now all the pastures are not enough to carry the Great Khan's livestock. Food can only be found in the south. If we don't go to the south to get food, will we starve to death on the grassland."

"The people of the Great Khan would rather die in battle than starve to death."

I was also surprised at first that Tuotuo Buhua suddenly spoke up and joined the dispute.

Because Tuo Tuo Bu Hua spends most of his time acting like a mascot. He must have had some thoughts when he suddenly spoke today.

But what he was thinking, he didn't know clearly for a while.

Without him opening his mouth, someone said what he wanted to say.

At this moment, Ye Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned all the leaders in the tent, as if he wanted to see their alignment by observing their subtle expressions.

and choose the response he will take.

Tuotuo Buhua continued: "The Immortal Heaven will not dry up all the rivers, nor will it make it difficult for all Mongolians to survive. As long as we survive this year, there will still be a beautiful tomorrow, but if we face the southerners' firearms,

, the blood of warriors will only be shed in vain.”

Azizhiyuan said: "We are not allowed to capture most of the capital. As long as we capture one or two cities, it will be enough for the animals to survive. Even some sacrifices are worth it."

Azizhiyuan is right about the stark economic differences between the Ming Dynasty and the grasslands. For the Mongols, even conquering a village is very profitable.

An iron pot can be exchanged for a Mongolian woman.

Human life is valuable, Mongolian life is even less valuable.

Many Mongolian nobles do not regard Mongolians as human beings, just animals.

What they are arguing about now is that if they survive this disaster year, no matter whether they go south or survive on the grasslands, someone will die.

And a large number of Mongols died.

But they didn't care.

"Ahem." Ye Xian suddenly coughed twice.

Everyone fell silent.

Ye Xian said: "When wolves on the grassland hunt, they will be kicked to death by horses. But if they are afraid of being kicked to death by horses, why don't they stop hunting? If wolves don't hunt, they can't survive on the grassland."

Ye Xian glanced over and saw a lot of excited eyes, all of which were tribal leaders supporting the sending of troops.

Ye Xian continued: "But wolves do not hunt casually. A patient wolf will follow its prey for several days or even ten days, hungry, eating snowflakes, and waiting for the prey to relax.

It is alert for a day, and then suddenly pounces and bites the prey's throat."

"When there is no certainty, the wolf can wait and wait hungry."

"The Southern Dynasties were very strong. They were very strong, but no matter how strong the Han people were, they were still sheep, and we were wolves."

"The shape of prey and hunter never changes. So we must be patient and wait patiently for the prey to relax its vigilance."

"Wolves will test before hunting. What is the condition of our prey now?"

"Now there is a lot of news coming, and it is all about anything. One day it can be confirmed that the Changsheng Heaven will not let the livestock of the grassland live, nor will the livestock of the emperor of the Southern Dynasties survive."

"I decided that the army would go south to graze on the edge of the Great Wall to test our prey and see the courage of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty."

"If he is timid, we will bite his throat like a wolf. If he is really confident, we will wait."

"Keep waiting for the right time."

Ye Xian's eyes seemed to glow with green light, like a calm wolf, a calm and cruel hunter, he said: "Do you understand?"

All the tribal leaders stood up and said: "I will obey the order of King Huai."
