If Chahar was destroyed, all of Mongolia would become the Daming's horse farm. This would be very beneficial to the Daming.
At the same time, it would also be very beneficial to Qi Jiguang. Not to mention other things, he would definitely get the title of Duke.
Even so, Qi Jiguang decided not to fight for now.
It was almost August. If they couldn't win quickly and the war dragged on into winter, it would become very troublesome.
The transportation of rations would also become more and more difficult, and problems could easily arise.
Qi Jiguang wanted to finish the war in one fell swoop, not drag the war on endlessly.
If the war went on endlessly, the three tribes of Duo Yan and Horqin would not be safe.
Qi Jiguang sent Wu Weiying back to the capital, but a large number of people poured into the grasslands.
These people were all Han people. Every day, there were countless carriages and horses coming and going between Liaodong and the grasslands.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs's mobilization ability was unprecedentedly strong. The materials for the construction of the city were already being transported to the grasslands.
The captives were also handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Under the threat of sabers and swords, they began to build the city for the Daming.
In addition to the original three cities, three cities were also to be built on Horqin's territory.
Cement began to be transported, and the red bricks needed to build the city were also transported by horse carriages. The transport teams on the grasslands were like ants.
Honours, gentry, and merchants all flocked to the grasslands.
Their targets were cattle, sheep, and horses. Of course, the most important target was the grasslands.
The court had already issued an order. Except for the grasslands awarded to meritorious generals, all the other grasslands were to be sold.
Nowadays, raising sheep and shearing wool was very profitable. Who didn't want their own grassland?
At this point, Qi Jiguang basically had nothing to do with it anymore.
What Qi Jiguang had to do next was to wait for the court or the Emperor's next order.
Reorganizing military affairs, maintaining local stability, and carrying out a good transition were what Qi Jiguang had to do.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wu Weiying in front of him and asked her about the war in Liaodong in detail. After that, Zhu Yijun nodded slowly.
If there was no Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Zhu Yijun would be more inclined to fight.
Zhu Yijun was not worried about what Qi Jiguang was worried about.
In Zhu Yijun's eyes, logistics, winter, management of Duo Yan's three tribes and Horqin were not a problem.
Daming was a small problem, but it was a big problem in the grasslands.
Buyan Chechen of Chahar was about to die. If they attacked now, the old fellow wouldn't even be able to escape.
Once Chahar was defeated, the Daming would be invincible on the grasslands, and the Daming would have plenty of time to manage the grasslands.
The bumps on the road could kill Buyan Chechen, but with that idiot Toyotomi Hideyoshi around, there was no need to fight.
But Zhu Yijun would not let it go. He looked at Wu Weiying and said, "Go back and send an order to Qi Jiguang to take the cavalry to Zhang Weixian.
Even if we don't fight, we still have to scare Buyan Chechen. "" Gather the troops and advance on Chahar.
The purpose of scaring Buyan Chechen was very simple, to stop him from making trouble.
Daming's expedition to the east was imminent. If Buyan Chechen took advantage of Daming's expedition to cause trouble, it would be very troublesome.
Although Buyan Chechen did not cause trouble in history, it was different now.
Daming was now holding a knife to Chahar's neck. Who knew if Buyan Chechen would fight to the death.
It was good to scare him. When Duo Yan's three tribes and Horqin finished building the city, he would have a way to suppress him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Weiying answered and bowed.
After Wu Weiying left, Zhu Yijun went directly to the Grand Council and reported the matter to the minister of the Grand Council.
Then, Zhu Yijun ordered, "Grand Council, arrange for the defense of the newly built area."
"Transfer some men from Liaodong, Ji Province, and Xuanfu to the newly built area as the garrison. In addition, expand the area to 30,000 cavalry."
It was necessary and necessary to expand the cavalry in the newly built area. The key was that there were horses there!
Once the 30,000 cavalry was built, with Daming's strength, Chahar would kneel down and surrender.
At that time, he could mobilize 100,000 cavalry and sweep the entire grasslands.
After defeating Chahar, the cavalry could continue north or west. In any case, Daming was rich and could afford it.
However, Zhu Yijun also knew that with the current traffic and communication situation, there were not many benefits to expanding north and west.
Oil and coal could not be transported out. In fact, occupying such a large area was useless. It was very remote.
After swallowing the whole of South Mongolia, Daming would need time to develop and turn it into a real Daming land. It would not be a waste of money to leave it in the wilderness.
On the contrary, there were opportunities in the south and the sea!
The people of the Grand Council quickly arranged things. There was no need for Zhu Yijun to worry at all.
The deployment of military supplies, the appointment of generals, and the distribution of rewards. The entire Daming was very busy. Fortunately, there was nothing to do these days. Zhu Yijun was preparing to do something very important.
"You, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Yijun looked at Liang Menglong in front of him and said slowly.
As the minister of the Grand Council and the minister of the Ministry of Works, Liang Menglong had always been very busy.
After the war in Liaodong was over, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the construction of the city in Liaodong still needed the help of the Ministry of Works.
On the contrary, Zhu Yijun's temporary imperial residence did not use the Ministry of Works, which made Liang Menglong less worried.
Now everyone in the imperial court knew that the emperor was going to build a temporary imperial residence in Chengde, and the officials also knew that the emperor would go there sooner or later. However, the imperial court seemed very calm about this matter.
The matter had not happened yet, and no one stood up to say anything.
As for persuading the emperor not to spend money recklessly and not to build a temporary imperial residence, there was no one.
The emperor had been very thrifty these years. The imperial court was rich, but the emperor did not use the money of the imperial court. In recent years, the money had been spent on roads, training soldiers, water conservancy, schools, and hospitals. Now the emperor was building a temporary imperial residence, and they were still complaining?
Some people even wrote to the emperor to repair the Forbidden City. After so many years, the Forbidden City had not been repaired much, and many places were broken.
No one objected to the emperor going to the north. Now there was a cement road, and the imperial court was rich. There was no war in the north, so it was okay to go.
The officials also followed, and they could see the scenery of the grassland in the desert.
If Zhu Yijun knew that his subordinates wanted to travel with him at public expense, he might not go in a rage.
Liang Menglong was not worried about this, but Zhu Yijun's attitude at this time made Liang Menglong worry.
Because His Majesty was too serious, so serious that Liang Menglong knew that this matter was not a small matter.
"I want to abolish the lowly status!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Liang Menglong and said slowly, "Abolish the lowly status and organize households for all the people. I am the Daming Emperor, and I should illuminate all the people, and all the people are my people.
Now the Daming Empire is strong, and I have swallowed the world and ruled the universe, surpassing all the wise kings and holy lords of the past. How can I still have lowly status? "
