Zhu Yijun didn't doubt the assimilation ability of Daming's culture. He believed that Daming would definitely be able to swallow Wala.
Ma Gui still returned to his tribe and became a good general for Daming.
"Alright, go back and make the arrangements. The Ministry of Rites will leave with Sanniangzi and the others."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand. Since the arrangements were made, the rest was up to the ministers.
After the ministers left, Zhang Jing walked to Zhu Yijun with a memorial and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from North Placating Marquis!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned. A memorial from Qi Jiguang?
Not daring to delay, Zhu Yijun quickly said, "Present it to me!"
After receiving the memorial from Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun flipped through it and heaved a sigh of relief.
The memorial detailed what Qi Jiguang wanted to do. He wanted to unite the four Jurchen tribes and form an alliance with Horqin.
In fact, with Daming's current strength, it wouldn't be a problem to defeat Horqin.
Buyan Chechen wouldn't be able to stop him. Zhang Weixian and Li Chengliang could also kill Chahar, but Zhu Yijun didn't allow them to start a war.
In fact, Zhu Yijun was waiting for two reasons. One was to build the three prefectures in Chengde.
The other was to wait for news from North Korea. There was still someone there who was preparing to invade Daming!
Compared to the cowardly Mongolian tribes, that guy was even more ambitious.
Zhu Yijun was preparing to fight a big war there. This was also the reason why Zhu Yijun mobilized so many troops there.
The current situation was that Daming had 300,000 soldiers stationed in the grasslands. If they didn't fight, it would be a waste of resources. This couldn't be allowed.
Glancing at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun said, "Order the Grand Council to draft a decree."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing quickly bowed and waited for Zhu Yijun to speak.
"Promote Qi Jiguang to be the commander of three towns. He will be in charge of the troops of Liaodong, Jizhou, and Liaodong Towns. He will be in charge of the battle against Chahar.
Bestow the King's Command Flag upon me, and I can act as I please. "At this point, Zhu Yijun waved his hand." That's all! "
"In addition, send a decree to Zhang Cheng. Ask him to go to Shenyang and keep an eye on him."
Zhang Jing quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Imperial Majesty!" After saying this, Zhang Jing turned around and ran out.
The news from the Grand Council quickly spread. Although Zhu Yijun's arrangement for Wala was not small, it did not cause any big waves.
In the eyes of Daming's officials and people, Guihua City should be Daming's territory.
On the contrary, the imperial court's appointment of Qi Jiguang as the commander of three provinces was a big deal. It meant that the imperial court was about to go to war.
At the relay station of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
Bo Tashi sat on a chair with a dark expression. Ever since he received Zhu Yijun's arrangement, Bo Tashi's expression had not been good.
Although the imperial decree had not yet arrived, Bo Tashi knew that there was no turning back now that things had reached this point.
"I really hope Buyan Chechen will work hard!" Bo Tashi said angrily.
Sanniangzi looked at her son and said expressionlessly, "The grasslands and mountains are like this. Is there any lack of battles between tribes?
What is so strange about Daming's actions today?
Are you not mentally prepared? "
As she said this, Sanniangzi could not help but think of Daming, the Son of Heaven.
From the moment he dared to bet on the fate of the country against Wala, this Son of Heaven was destined to become an incredible ruler, a great emperor.
This was something Sanniangzi had never doubted. Never.
The facts also proved how wise the emperor's decision was.
In the past few years, Wala had provided warhorses, wool, and livestock for the Great Ming Dynasty. This allowed the Great Ming Dynasty to have powerful cavalry, warmer winter clothing, and more meat.
After a few years of accumulation, it was normal for the emperor to make a move against the grasslands.
Bo Tashi looked at Sanniangzi rudely and said angrily, "My surname is Bao Erchijun. I am a descendant of the Gold Clan. I don't want the surname Zhu, and I don't want to be Daming's loyal prince."
"Enough!" Sanniangzi slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"I won't say it to you a second time. I don't want to hear you say such things again. If you want to die, I won't stop you.
You can also go find Buyan Chechen and Hwang Tae-gil. They are both in Chahar. "
"There will be a great battle with Daming. They are also Bao Erchijun and descendants of the Gold Clan."
After speaking, Sanniangzi ignored Bo Tashi's rudeness. With a wave of her sleeve, she left the room.
No one cared about Bo Tashi's rudeness and attitude. The imperial edict was quickly passed down.
Bo Tashi was rudely titled Prince of Zhong Shun. He was given the surname Zhu and changed his name to Zhu Li. Zhu Li became Daming's first outsider prince with the surname Zhu.
At the same time, Jing Fei's older brother Wu Li Han was titled Duke of Zhong Shun and made the vice admiral of the Guihua Guard.
In reality, Zhu Yijun gave Bo Tashi the surname Bo Tashi. Changing the title to Prince of Zhong Shun was a very simple reason. It was to attack Bo Tashi's reputation. The name of the Gold Clan was still useful on the grasslands.
Once Bo Tashi accepted the surname Zhu and the title of Prince of Zhong Shun, his reputation would definitely fall to the ground. This was exactly what Zhu Yijun wanted.
If he wasn't afraid of provoking the Wala tribe, Zhu Yijun would have killed Bo Tashi for his rudeness.
At the same time these two imperial edicts were passed down, Zhu Yijun's imperial edict to Qi Jiguang also left the capital and was sent to Liaodong.
The Northern Army Camp.
These days, Qi Jiguang was also busy. On one hand, he was busy with the hunting meeting with Weng Guodai. On the other hand, Qi Jiguang was also busy with other matters because the local officials sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the court had arrived.
After handing over the matter, Qi Jiguang led the army and moved thirty miles north, separating from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the local officials.
Haixi Jurchen Yehe tribe.
Bu Zhai looked at his son, Buyanggu, and then asked, "Has the general of the Ming Army been arranged?"
"Father, it has been arranged!" Bu Yanggu nodded and said.
After pondering for a moment, Buyanggu asked, "Father, what do you think the purpose of the Ming Army's visit is?"
Bu Zhai sneered and said, "What else can it be? They are here for Horqin.
Two days ago, news came from Horqin that Weng Guodai wants to form an alliance with Qi Jiguang. "
Buyanggu sneered and said disdainfully, "Horqin is such a big tribe, but Weng Guodai is so timid."
Bu Zhai waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "The problem is, what should we do!"
Buyanggu was suddenly at a loss for words. Right now, the situation of Yehe, or the four Jurchen tribes, was very bad.
After thinking for a moment, Buyanggu said, "We still need to talk to Daming first and see what Daming's attitude is."
Bu Zhai nodded and said, "Set up a banquet in the evening and invite that Daming General."
"Keep an eye on Nalin Bulu and don't let him do anything.
Ever since his father died, he has always wanted to avenge his father. I am afraid that he will do something bad. "
Buyanggu quickly said, "Yes, father. I will keep an eye on Nalin Bulu."
