Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 9 General Longhu is coming
  After bidding farewell to the two generals, Zhang Xiao felt both surprised and worried about meeting historical celebrities. According to the historical development of the original time and space, General Li Rusong died inexplicably on the border within a few years after he experienced the great success of pacifying Qibai and conquering Pyongyang. The Three Great Conquests of Wanli were the last glory of the empire. Soon after, General Longhu, who had been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for decades, unified all the Jurchen tribes and launched a fatal challenge to the Ming Dynasty, the oldest empire.

Before, Zhang Xiao was in the position of a minor official and had never felt it so directly. Nowadays, this sense of urgency is increasing day by day, and history that used to remain on paper is actually happening in front of me. Perhaps, my own pen and mouth can play a greater role. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao picked up the pen and continued to write the chapter of Timur's empire. But Zhang Xiao didn't expect that the General Longhu he was talking about was actually not far away from him.

In the Huitong Hall in the capital, a majestic tribal leader was flipping through a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Someone knocked on the door lightly and got no response, so he walked in directly.

"Brother, what book are you reading so fascinated by? Should we discuss how to say something nice to the Emperor of the Central Plains and ask for some useful rewards from the Emperor? This time we paid tribute, but we brought a lot of ginseng and fur , but we can’t go back at a loss.”

"Shulhaqi, my good brother, you can arrange all this. It's not the first time you've come here. But there's one thing you have to remember. You have to remember to restrain our troops, especially those who are entering the capital for the first time. The people of the ministry, remind them that they are no longer in the Jianzhou Ministry. They must be careful in the capital and don't let the people of the Ming Dynasty get caught. You can also read this book when you have time. It is very interesting. In addition to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" , I haven’t seen such a beautiful book for a long time.”

"Brother, is it so good-looking? You've been looking at it for a long time and you don't like to eat anymore." Shuerhaqi asked.

"This book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" tells many stories about Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan is really a hero. Reading this novel, I remembered the deeds of our two brothers who fought against various ministries in Jianzhou. I remember that we attacked Onkolo City before. Orgoni shot me in the neck, and I pardoned him. He is now the most outstanding warrior of our tribe. Genghis Khan was also shot by Jebie, and he also pardoned Jebie. I didn’t expect that Genghis Khan could build such a big foundation. It is so difficult to start a business when you are young." Nurhaci became more and more excited as he talked.

"Brother, we are now in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't like mentioning Genghis Khan very much." Shuerhaqi reminded him as he looked at his eldest brother's excited look.

"I know, it's just Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty who didn't beat Anda Khan. He took out his temper on the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty and removed the emperor's tablet from the temple. What kind of skill is this? You can only win the battle. It's true. Don't tell me, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was also captured alive by the Mongolian Grand Master. It seems that the Mongols can still fight. We must be careful about the movement from the grassland in the future." Nurhachi continued. said.

"Seeing as you praise this book so well, has this author written other books? Let me take a look." Shuerhaqi asked curiously.

"There is also a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I have read a few pages and it is not interesting. You can take it if you want to read it. It is strange that this author does not write more books. Shuerhaqi, you are shopping in the capital. "If you want to buy tea, salt, and iron pots, if there are any books, manuscripts, or newspapers, you should pay attention to collecting them as long as they contain words, and you should also collect more papers." Nurhaci then ordered.

Zhang Xiao continued to write until Timur and Hussin defeated the army of Eastern Chagatai Khan, controlled the Western Chagatai Khanate by supporting the puppet Khan, and then defeated and killed them through ruse. Hu Xin, alone, took control of the power of Western Chagatai. From then on, he began to conquer the north and south, and started his hegemony. After the manuscript was written, Zhang Xiao put it away and rushed to the Hanlin Academy.

When he rushed to the door, an old Hanlin greeted him and said that Wangge was always waiting for him. Zhang Xiao took the manuscript and walked directly to Wang Xijue's study.

"Mr. Wang Ge, this is a manuscript written by me. It is about Timur's fortune. Please read it." "Put it here, I will read it later. I heard that His Majesty summoned you alone later, I must have I should have told you. Your Majesty ordered me to be the editor-in-chief of this book series "The Rise of Great Powers" and you to be the editor-in-chief. Your current level is not high enough. I have recommended you to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy. When the time comes, there will be several capable people to help. You search for information, draft the manuscript, proofread and copy the text. Make a list of the books you want to read. As long as they are not collector's editions, you can read them all. After you finish writing the manuscript, bring it to me for review before submitting it. Give it to Your Majesty." Wang Xijue ordered.

"Thank you, Mr. Ge. In this way, writing the book should be much faster, and the content will be much more detailed and accurate." Zhang Xiao said.

"Zhang Xiao, your articles are adequate in terms of writing power and content, but some of them are elaborate in their framework and wording. You have lived overseas for a long time, and you still haven't read enough of the saints' articles. But you are so careful and restrained, which makes me feel more at ease. But It will take a few days before the people I mentioned just now can be assigned to you. In a few days, His Majesty will receive tribute envoys. We have to arrange various matters and prepare drafts in the past few days. I'll be busy for three to five days. You can stop writing the manuscript in such a hurry these days and read some books to straighten your thoughts." Wang Xijue explained.

"Then Mr. Ge, don't you need help from me?" Zhang Xiao asked worriedly.

"I don't need your help for this. Just finish writing "The Rise of the Great Powers". This is the Holy Spirit's command. You must complete this job well."

"Mr. Wang Ge, can you please ask which tribute mission is coming to Beijing? Please be so solemn." Zhang Xiao then asked.

"It's the Jurchen Jianzhou Tribe. Their leader Nurhaci personally led the delegation to pay tribute to Beijing this time. The border is currently troubled. Nurhaci is a rare follower of the Yi people, and his men are also good at fighting. This time, His Majesty said it should be more grand and show I want to give him an official title and a title." Wang Xijue said.

Nurhachi! Zhang Xiao was almost startled when he heard the name. Unexpectedly, Nurhachi, who was once the Seven Great Haters of Time and Space and raised an army, was now the first-class Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty. If I tell Emperor Wanli now that Nurhachi will rebel in twenty years, your power will be shaken, and in the end his descendants will succeed in taking over the Central Plains. It is estimated that the emperor must have chopped himself off before he even finished speaking.

"I see, colleagues, thanks for your hard work, I will come up with ideas to polish Timur's manuscript." Zhang Xiao dismissed all the thoughts in his head and quickly agreed with Mr. Wang Ge.

"You go about your business first." Wang Xijue drank tea and thanked the guests, and Zhang Xiao also left.
