Chapter 1379: Zhang Yan

"Correct."

Xiao Hu Nian nodded: "Although the Jianzhou Jurchens were defeated by us before, they sent many spies to Liaohai City during this period. We use these spies to set a trap for the Jianzhou Jurchens."

"If we do this, can we lure the Jianzhou Jurchens out of their base camp?" Yu Qingqing suddenly asked.

"If we send troops to Northern Qi, it may not work. For Nurhaci, he might hope that both we and Northern Qi will suffer losses, unless there is a reason for the Jianzhou Jurchens to send troops." Ma Zhaixing said.

If the Qingfeng Army attacked the Donghai Kingdom, the Jianzhou Jurchens would have a reason to send troops. However, this would also mean facing a pincer attack from both the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Donghai Kingdom, which would be very disadvantageous for the Qingfeng Army.

"That's true." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then we have no choice but to take down Hetuala directly." Yu Qingqing said.

Hetuala was the capital of the Jianzhou Jurchens. According to the Jinyiwei, Hetuala had been run by three generations, and the inner city was built with wood and stone, several feet high, and could accommodate more than 30,000 people.

The reason for this is that the Jianzhou Jurchens were not a nomadic people, but an agricultural people.

Simply put, it was a transformation from a nomadic "tribe" to a settled "village".

Therefore, the prosperity of commercial trade is the basis for the stability of the Jianzhou Jurchens. So after Nurhaci unified the Jianzhou Jurchens, he began social transformation.

After Nurhaci established the feudal hierarchical order, the influx of refugees from the borders of Northern Qi and Donghai led to the decline of the political status of the "Zhushen" among the Jianzhou Jurchens, and their production and life were strictly controlled by their respective Beile. Although the centralized measures effectively strengthened the power of the regime, they suppressed the vitality and production capacity of the private commodity economy. The Jianzhou Jurchens relied on commercial trade, so the sufficiency of food and cloth became the key to the survival of the regime.

In order to achieve his goal, Nurhaci organized the looted people into "servants" to specialize in farming, and ordered Zhushen to carry out large-scale reclamation.

Nurhaci's regime wanted to find a way out, and the only way was to take the fertile land in the south. Before breaking with the Northern Qi, he had coveted the land of Liaodong and sent people to cultivate the unowned wasteland. The Liaodong border troops noticed the actions of the Jianzhou Jurchens and destroyed their farmland. In the end, looking at the Liaodong War from the perspective of the Northern Qi, there were many reasons for the failure. But from the perspective of the Jianzhou Jurchens, it was simple and clear, a struggle for the life and death of the Jianzhou Jurchen regime.

If Jiang Chen had not brought the Qingfeng Army to Liaohai City, it would not have taken Nurhaci long to unify the Liaodong Jurchens.

"Use the news of dispatching troops to Northern Qi to gather the Jianzhou Jurchen troops in Hetuala, and then we will send down our divine troops from the sky to destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens in Hetuala." Wu Di understood what Yu Qingqing meant.

"If that's the case, do we need to use the primary military talisman?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Wu Di nodded.

"It would be easy if we used primary military tokens. However, I think we can transfer some Jinyiwei here." Du Wei said.

"Transfer the Jinyiwei? As long as the Jianzhou Jurchens go deep into the mountains and forests, they will be handed over to the Jinyiwei?" Jiang Chen understood what Du Wei meant.

"Yes." Du Wei nodded.

"Okay, just in case. I think we can mobilize a thousand Eagle Armor Guards just in case." Jiang Chen said.

At this moment, Jiang Chen discussed the details with Xiao Huanian and others.

……

Yixiu room.

"Did you see anyone from the Ula tribe this time?" Jiang Chen came behind Yixiu and put his arms around her waist.

"I haven't met anyone from the Ula tribe, but I have read their information," Yixiu said.

"Do you feel like you have seen your ancestor?" Jiang Chen asked.

"This... feels very strange." Yixiu couldn't describe what the feeling was, but it was too weird anyway.

"You are from two different worlds, so you don't need to care too much." Jiang Chen understood Yixiu's feelings.

"I understand." Yixiu nodded.

"Then you will stay in Liaohai City and help manage the Jurchen tribe." Jiang Chen said.

"Well, okay." Yixiu did not refuse.

"Of course, if you can't adapt, you can go somewhere else." Jiang Chen said.

"I understand." Yixiu responded.

"It's getting late, let's take a break first." Jiang Chen's hands moved up and down from Yixiu's waist.

"Husband..." Yixiu leaned in Jiang Chen's arms as if she had lost all her strength.

Jiang Chen picked up Yixiu and walked towards the couch.

As Jiang Chen walked towards the couch step by step, pieces of clothes fell to the ground one by one.

Soon, an indescribable sound was heard.

……

"Greetings, young master." Abahai bowed to Jiang Chen when she saw him.

"Get up." Jiang Chen looked at Abahai.

Abahai is a character in "The Unrivaled".

The last time I left the Third World, Abahai also left the Third World.

Now Abahai can be said to be the elder of the Jiang family.

"Thank you, young master." Abahai stood up.

"Abahai, let's take a walk." Jiang Chen held Abahai's hand and said.

"Okay." Abahai nodded.

Jiang Chen and Abahai talked as they walked.

Abahai was from the Ula tribe.

Jiang Chen also wanted to use Abahai to make the Ula tribe more submissive to the Qingfeng Army.

Of course, Jiang Chen also wanted to develop feelings with Abahai.

After a while, Jiang Chen and Abahai came to a pavilion.

"Let's sit down." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Abahai waved her hand and wiped the stone pier clean for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sat down on the stone pier.

"Deyinze, go make a pot of tea," said Abahai.

"Yes." Deyinze was Abahai's personal maid.

After Deinze left, Jiang Chen and Abahai continued chatting.

"Young Master, are you leaving Liaohai City today?" Abahai asked.

"Well, I have to go to the Ming Continent later." Jiang Chen said.

"When will the young master come back?" Abahai asked.

"I'm not sure about the details, but it shouldn't be long." Jiang Chen played with Abahai's hand and said, "Are you reluctant to let me leave?"

"Well, I can't bear to leave you, young master." Abahai did not deny it.

"Don't worry, I will come to Liaohai City as long as I have time." Jiang Chen kissed Abahai.

"Young Master." Abahai lowered her head shyly.

……

Ming Dynasty Continent, Eastern Palace.

"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a while. You are getting more and more beautiful." Jiang Chen, who had disguised himself as Zhu Yunhuan, looked at Xu Miaoyun with a smile.

"Your Highness." Xu Miaoyun saw Jiang Chen's expression change slightly.

She never expected that Jiang Chen would come to see her again just a few days later.

The moment she saw Jiang Chen, she thought of how Jiang Chen had treated her unscrupulously before.

"Aunt, are you afraid to see me? Are you worried that I will eat you?" Jiang Chen stepped forward and held Xu Miaoyun's hand.

"Your Highness, you can't do this..." Xu Miaoyun said subconsciously.

"It can't be like this? Xu Miaoyun, haven't you thought it through yet?" Jiang Chen asked.

Xu Miaoyun was silent.

She naturally understood what Jiang Chen meant by "think it through".

But how could she agree?

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as your agreement." Jiang Chen exerted force and pulled Xu Miaoyun into his arms.

Xu Miaoyun exclaimed.

"Miaoyun." Jiang Chen said something unspeakable in Xu Miaoyun's ear.

at the same time.

"Um……"

An indescribable sound came out of Xu Miaoyun's mouth.

"Aunt, are you seducing...me?" Jiang Chen said in Xu Miaoyun's ear.

"I didn't." Xu Miaoyun glared at Jiang Chen fiercely.

Why did she make such an indescribable sound just now?

It’s all because of Jiang Chen’s hateful hand.

"Really not?" Jiang Chen continued to interact with Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun wanted to resist, but how could she be a match for the battle-hardened Jiang Chen.

"Your Highness, please let me go." Xu Miaoyun begged.

"Do you think it's possible?" Jiang Chen said.

"..."Xu Miaoyun also knew it was impossible.

What's more, behind her is the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen) is the crown prince, so it is impossible for her to ignore the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

"Let's go and have a chat." Jiang Chen picked up Xu Miaoyun and sat on the couch. The palace maids and eunuchs around him saw this scene and lowered their heads quickly.

"Your Highness."

Yu Huatian's voice was heard outside.

"Come in." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes."

Yu Huatian walked in.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Your Highness, the first batch of beauties have entered the palace, and you need to meet them," said Yu Huatian.

"Show girl?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.

At this time, he remembered that when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to choose a concubine for him, he had decided that Xu Yeyue would be the Crown Prince's Consort, and Murong Qiudi, the eldest daughter of the Murong family, Zhang Xixi, the daughter of Northern Yuan Taiwei Naier Buhua, Xu Miaojin and Xu Ming'er from the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and Lan Lianyi from the Duke of Liang's Mansion would be the Crown Prince's concubines, and the others would be chosen from the beautiful girls.

Therefore, the concubines that Yu Huatian is talking about now are those who are preparing to enter the Eastern Palace.

Of course, this time it’s not just the Eastern Palace that’s selecting concubines, other imperial grandchildren will also be selecting concubines.

However, Donggong was the first choice.

Jiang Chen attaches great importance to this.

After all, in Jiang Chen's opinion, there is a chance of meeting the heroine in the talent show and signing in.

"Yes." Yu Huatian said.

"understood."

Jiang Chen nodded: "You go and arrange it, um, let them come here later."

"Yes." Yu Huatian responded.

"Miaoyun, will you join me in selecting concubines today? After all, they will be your sisters in the future." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

"Your Highness, I am your elder." Xu Miaoyun said.

"Xu Miaojin is also the Crown Prince's concubine." Jiang Chen said.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun remembered that Xu Miaojin was also betrothed to Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen).

Although it is not uncommon for elder sisters to marry their fathers and younger sisters to marry their sons throughout history, especially in the royal family, such cases are very common, but for the parties involved, it is difficult to accept.

But what if it’s hard to accept?

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order, opposition was useless.

However, in her opinion, this is probably what Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen) meant.

After all, judging from his interactions with Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen), he is a person with ulterior motives.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Chen asked.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

After Xu Miaojing became the concubine of the crown prince Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen), could she still say that she was an elder?

wrong.

Jiang Chen's behavior is not that of an elder at all.

"Your Highness, I'll take my leave first." Xu Miaoyun just wanted to leave because he felt it would be very awkward for him to stay here.

"Do you think I will let you leave?" Jiang Chen would not let Xu Miaoyun leave.

In the Ming Continent, close contact with Xu Miaoyun has now become Jiang Chen's hobby.

This feeling is similar to the feeling when Nan Qing visited Qin Yun in the Northern Qi continent.

"..."Xu Miaoyun.

"Your Highness, you can't do this." Xu Miaoyun felt that if the concubines saw her and Jiang Chen, it would definitely spread outside, and she didn't know what would be said about them. By then, Zhu Yunhuan (Jiang Chen) would be fine, but who knows what would be said about the Duke of Wei's mansion.

"No? Who dares to say anything bad about me in the East Palace?" Now that Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, and Inner Factory are all under his control, even if Zhu Yuanzhang has other forces, it is unlikely that he will get any news from the East Palace. As for those concubines? He can keep them all in the East Palace with just one word.

"Your Highness..." Xu Miaoyun had no idea what Jiang Chen was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't want to let her go, she looked anxious.

"Then just sit next to me." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Xu Miaoyun quickly agreed.

At that moment, Jiang Chen let go of Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun quickly stood up and sat down on the other side.

Just then, Yu Huatian's voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, the concubine has arrived."

"Let them in one by one." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Yu Huatian responded.

Soon, a young lady walked into the room.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen looked up.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and obtained the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan. ]

"Intermediate Spirit Fish Pond Renovation Plan?"

"This is the nineteenth time I have obtained the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"In addition to the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation diagrams I obtained when I was promoted to the Imperial Clan and the Celestial Clan, there are already quite a few intermediate spirit fish pond renovation diagrams in the system space."

"This sign-in reward is good."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Zhang Yan, a character in "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty".

In the play, she is the Crown Princess, the mother of Zhu Zhanji, who is bold and bold, sharp and direct in words, good at managing the household, and in charge of the harem. Although she has a strong personality, her husband does not compete for the overall situation, so she can only pin all her hopes on her son Zhu Zhanji.

"Zhang Yan from The Glory of the Ming Dynasty?"

"That's right. Even if we follow the timeline, Zhang Yan is still not married."

"What's more, this is a world that is a fusion of film and television. Maybe the Ming Continent is the same as the Qing Continent in the second world."

In the early years of Yongle, the position of the crown prince was in jeopardy because Zhu Gaoxu tried to seize the throne. Zhang Yan used her own efforts to take the warm family route, caring for the elders, and often took her son Zhu Zhanji, who was called "a good grandson" by Zhu Di, to visit the emperor's grandfather and grandmother, which won Zhu Di's heart. It was because of Zhang Yan's mediation that Zhu Gaochi's position as the crown prince was preserved.

After her husband came to power, he was ranked as the empress. He was well aware of his wife's virtue and intelligence, and often discussed important state affairs with his wife. Empress Zhang also often gave her good advice, and the couple was harmonious and the court was clear. Unfortunately, her husband died less than a year after he became emperor. Because of his sudden death, the crown prince Zhu Zhanji was far away in Nanjing and it would take time for him to return to Beijing. The emperor's uncle Zhu Gaoxu, who was nearby in Shandong, was eyeing him covetously. It was Empress Zhang who stepped forward again. She calmed people's hearts, presided over the overall situation, and confused Zhu Gaoxu, which enabled Zhu Zhanji to ascend the throne smoothly.

When her son ascended the throne, Empress Zhang was promoted to Empress Dowager. Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was very filial to his mother and would report important matters to the Empress Dowager before implementing them. When serving her in daily life and banquets, Zhu Zhanji would first present tributes from all directions, even if they were not precious jade or rare treasures, but vegetables, fruits and game. The Empress Dowager also often taught her son to treat the people well and to rule the country with benevolence and righteousness, which became a good story.

Ten years passed by quickly. Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji died suddenly of illness. The seven-year-old Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Zhang was honored as the Grand Empress Dowager, and Zhang Yan became the first Grand Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty. Because of the will of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, all major events were reported to Zhang before being implemented. So some ministers asked the Grand Empress Dowager Zhang to rule the country from behind the curtain, but Zhang refused on the grounds of "not destroying the laws of the ancestors." The Grand Empress Dowager appointed the cabinet and handed over the government affairs to the "Three Yangs (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu)", Zhang Fu, and the Minister of Rites Hu Yi. However, the decision-making power of truly major state affairs would still be handled by these regent ministers.

When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she continued the policy of "Renzong and Xuanzong's rule", the government was stable, the country was prosperous, and the world was peaceful. The prosperous era of Empress Dowager Zhang's assistance was called "Zhengtong Chuyuan" in history. In the seventh year of Zhengtong, Empress Dowager Zhang died of illness. The huge and prosperous Ming Dynasty was almost destroyed because of a eunuch named Wang Zhen who led the emperor to be captured and foreign invasions.

It can be said that Zhang Yan’s life is constantly changing.

When Zhang Yan was the Crown Princess, she was a capable and capable person who managed the household. When she was the Queen, she was a wise person who taught her son well and took good care of her skin. When she was the Queen Mother, she was also a good mother who cared about her son and stabilized her daughter-in-law. But when she was the Grand Empress Dowager, Zhang Yan became a strange mother-in-law who did not understand Sun Ruowei.

But it's not her fault.

Zhang Yan went from Crown Princess to Queen, from Queen to Queen Mother, and from Queen Mother to Grand Empress Dowager. Each step was not easy. Only she knew the sadness and grievances. She had a hard time and needed someone to love and care for her. Unfortunately, her husband Zhu Gaochi died early, and her son Zhu Zhanji died before he was 39, leaving her to face a lot of problems.

"Zhang Yan is only seventeen or eighteen years old now... Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is not bad either."

When seeing Zhang Yan, Jiang Chen thought of Tang Xin from the first world.

Different from Tang Xin in the first world.

Tang Xin is a professional white-collar worker, but Zhang Yan at this time has a different flavor.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Zhang Yan bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Yan stood up.

"Look up." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Zhang Yan raised her head.

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Yan.

Another queen.

Speaking of which, there are already many queens in the Jiang family’s backyard.

However, when Jiang Chen thought of the queen wearing a phoenix robe, he never got tired of looking at it.

Well, this is a different kind of uniform.

"What do you think, Auntie?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile as he looked at Xu Miaoyun.
