Ever since the Ming Army had entered the grasslands, the entire grasslands had been in a state of panic.
Especially Horqin and Chahar. The three Duoyan Guards were done for, and the two of them were the only ones left.
The Ming Army was also quite nervous. Once Chahar and Horqin attacked, a war would be inevitable.
In the Daming Southern Road Army's commander's tent.
Zhang Weixian had been keeping an eye on Chahar for the past few days. Zhang Weixian's attitude was very clear. As long as Chahar's Buyan Chechen did not provoke him, Zhang Weixian had no intention of attacking Chahar.
"General Ma, please sit!" Zhang Weixian looked at Ma Dong and Ma Lin and said with a smile.
After Ma Dong and Ma Lin sat down, Zhang Weixian said, "General, the reply from the imperial court has arrived.
The imperial court is preparing to set up a prefecture here, and it will be called Chengde Prefecture.
The dispatched officials will be arriving soon, and they will be accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
All our seized assets will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle! "
Seeing the strange expressions on Ma Dong and Ma Lin's faces, Zhang Weixian explained, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is only here to bribe us. The price will definitely be right.
You can rest assured that I will not let the Ministry of Internal Affairs bully us. "
Hearing Zhang Weixian's words, Ma Dong and Ma Lin immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew Zhang Weixian's identity. He was the grandson of the Duke of England, Zhang Yong. Daming would be the future Duke of England.
In addition, he was the emperor's trusted aide. Everyone knew about his power.
"That's not what I want to talk to the two generals about."
Zhang Weixian waved his hand and said, "The officials from the imperial court will be arriving soon, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also be here. Generals, please restrain your subordinates and don't make any mistakes.
Also, send more scouts. Once we start building the city, I'm afraid Chahar's Buyan Chechen will not be able to sleep. "
Ma Dong and Ma Lin also nodded solemnly.
Everyone knew the significance of Daming building a city here. Once Chengde City was built, Daming would definitely station his troops here.
They surrounded Chahar from three sides, allowing him to attack and defend at will.
It would be strange if Buyan Chechen was willing.
"Grand Marshal, it's fine if he doesn't come, but if he does, we'll take the opportunity to attack!" Marlin said confidently. "We'll destroy Chahar and take back the Imperial Jade Seal."
Zhang Weixian smiled at Marlin's words. "If that's the case, that would be great."
Unlike Qi Jiguang, Zhang Weixian was relatively gentler. He always had a gentle temperament, although he was also very good at fighting.
After the matter was settled, Zhang Weixian said, "That's all. Just be mentally prepared."
Capital, Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
These days, the imperial court was very busy. After all, three new pieces of land had been acquired, and the court needed to allocate resources. The tax department had also sent people out to manage the land.
Zhu Yijun flipped through the memorials in front of him. There wasn't much worth paying attention to.
"Imperial Majesty, Honglu Temple has sent news that Sanniangzi and her party have entered the capital!" Zhang Jing stood at the bottom of the stairs and said.
Zhu Yijun nodded and sighed helplessly. It seemed that his original plan and strategy couldn't be used now.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun felt that he had to change his strategy.
"In three days, we will hold a banquet in the palace, inviting Lady Zhongshun and Duke Zhongshun."
"Tell the Empress that she will be successful that day. Oh, and also Consort Jing."
Zhang Jing quickly nodded. "Yes, this servant will go now!"
On the grasslands, Northern Army Camp.
Qi Jiguang looked at the map in front of him and tapped it from time to time. Then he stood there thoughtfully. After a while, Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at the old Mongolian man sitting below and said, "Master Hak?"
"In reply to Grand Marshal, this old man is Master Hak!" The old man quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
The old man didn't look young. His hair was half black and half white, but his complexion looked good.
Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "Master Hak, I heard that you are an elder of the Fuyu sect. In our Daming, it is a virtue to respect the elderly."
As he said this, Qi Jiguang made a gesture of invitation.
"This is the wine that I brought from the Daming. The bottle on the left is Daming's fruit wine, and the bottle on the right is Daming's Autumn Dew White. This isn't just any Autumn Dew White, it's a tribute wine."
"This is a reward from His Majesty after I accepted Duke Zhongshun's rude invitation and helped Wala quell the rebellion."
When Master Hak heard this, he hurriedly stood up, his body trembling. "Marshal's great kindness, Master Hak is unable to repay it!"
Although he was doing this, Master Hak's mind didn't stop thinking!
Who on the grasslands didn't know what happened in the battle of Wala? What rude invitation? That was the Great Ming's doing.
After An Dahan died, Huang Taiji should have succeeded the throne. This was the rule of the grasslands.
Sanniangzi didn't obey, so that woman should be killed. In the end, Daming took advantage of the loophole and destroyed Wala's main force. Now, Wala belongs to Daming.
Master Hak was clear in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it.
Thinking about it from another perspective, why was Qi Jiguang telling him this?
Master Hak couldn't help but think. He believed that Qi Jiguang wouldn't tell him this for no reason.
Then, why?
Master Hak quickly thought of a possibility.
The Ming Army occupied Fu Yu, so they had to manage it. Then, they needed someone to help manage it.
Who was this person?
Was it Balik?
Impossible. Daming wouldn't use him. If he was worried, then it must be him.
Who knew if he was Sanniangzi from Fuyu sect?
Thinking of this, Master Hak was so excited that he trembled.
Qi Jiguang squinted his eyes and waved his hand. He smiled and said, "Old mister, sit down. Why are you standing up again?
I already said that in Daming, it's the duty of His Majesty to respect the wise, not to mention I. "
"As soon as I arrived in Fu Yu, I heard about you immediately. People in the grassland said that you are the sage of the grassland."
The expression on Qi Jiguang's face was very serious and sincere. Was that really the case?
Of course not.
That old fellow Master Hake was the shit stirrer of the Fuyu Division.
Balik from Fuyu sect wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
Qi Jiguang liked this kind of person very much. He thought highly of him and was worth training.
Therefore, after Balik left, Qi Jiguang invited Master Hak over immediately.
He treated Master Hak with good wine and food. His attitude was very friendly.
"Come, Old Mister, let's have a toast!" Qi Jiguang held the wine cup and said with a smile.
"Daming's royal tribute wine indeed!" Master Hak said with admiration.
Qi Jiguang had a smile on his face. He squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Qiulubai was indeed a tribute wine. Qi Jiguang had a lot of it in his house. It wasn't a reward from Zhu Yijun after defeating Walla.
