I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 133: The North Talked Well, the East Talked Lonely
When Xu Wei returned to the supervision office, Zhu Yijun was waiting for him.

Sitting next to Zhu Yijun were Nangong Ye and Li Zhi.

Nangong Ye is now his confidential secretary. In addition to being his teacher, Li Zhi is also one of his "consultant" think tanks.

Zhu Yijun asked, "Mr. Wenchang, did you give the cowhide bag to Bosihaer?"

Xu Wei replied respectfully: "Your Highness, it has been given to Bosihaer."

"Do you think Bosihar will give these items to Altan Khan?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The Border Intelligence Division has learned that Bosihaer and his nephew Xin'ai are secretly at odds with each other, and their respective units have been fighting over pastures.

Bosihaer was on good terms with his second nephew Buyan Taiji, and had always wanted Buyan to inherit the Khan throne so that he could reap some benefits from it.

After getting this leather bag, Boshar will definitely give it to Altan Khan and embellish it with some embellishments."

After hearing Xu Wei's answer, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Wei continued, "Your Highness, there is also the monk Xuan Chi who can help us secretly."

"Monk Xuanchi? The son of the concubine of former Minister of War Ding Rukui, who was framed and killed by Yan Song?"

"Yes, your highness, it is him."

"He has a grudge against Xin Ai?"

"Your Highness, the Gengxu Incident was caused by Xin Ai's feint to the east and attacking in the west. He used the Duoyan tribe to attack the east in a bluff, so that Ding Rukui could transfer the main forces of Ji and Liao. As a result, the main forces of Altan Khan broke through the wall in the Xifengkou area and plundered the capital, which led to the Gengxu Incident.

It can be said that Xin Ai was the culprit for Ding Rukui's murder and the downfall of the Ding family. I have written down the details of the whole story in a secret letter and quietly sent it to Monk Xuanchi.

Judging from various clues, Xuan Chi did listen to it. Bosihaer handed the cow bag to Altan Khan, and he also played a supporting role, which naturally led to the fall of the wall and the fall of the wall.

In Altan Khan's camp, there were many people who did not obey Xin Ai, besides his brothers. "

Zhu Yijun asked again: "Master Xuanchi, are your words effective?"

"Your Highness, Monk Xuanchi passed the imperial examination in our dynasty and is quite talented. After Ding Rukui's misdeeds, the old servant of the Ding Mansion escorted him to seek refuge with the former officials of the Ding family in Shaanxi, but he ended up in Qinghai and became a Buddhist.

Over the past decade, he has become a Buddhist monk and was invited to the royal tent by Altan Khan. According to the intelligence from the Border Investigation Department, Altan Khan admired Monk Xuanchi's Buddhist knowledge and talents very much, and almost obeyed his every word.

This time, he was secretly sent to Boshar to assist in the peace talks, which showed that Altan Khan valued and trusted him. This time, Xuan Chi planned behind the scenes, offered suggestions, and won considerable benefits for Altan Khan.

The news from the royal tent is that Altan Khan is very satisfied with the meeting between Bosihaer and Xuanchi, and he will reward them generously when they return."

Zhu Yijun slapped his thigh, "Great! Xin Ai this beast, he is the most cunning and warlike person under Altan Khan, and he is the most hostile to the Ming Dynasty. He is the biggest threat to the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty. Last time, I took advantage of his arrogance and eagerness for revenge to capture him in Liuhe.

With new and old grudges, this beast will definitely fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty after he returns.

Originally, we should have cut off the roots of the trouble in the capital to prevent future troubles. However, we needed to negotiate with Altan Khan, stabilize the western border, and obtain a stable source of good horses, so we had to save his life and let him go back temporarily.

Let him go, but don’t let him go!”

Zhu Yijun turned his head and stared at Xu Wei, and said word by word: "We also captured hundreds of Xin Ai's trusted guards and confidants.

Those who should be bribed should be bribed, and those who should be alienated should be alienated. They must make sure to spread the news that Xin Ai coveted the Khan position and that Zhong Jinhatun secretly performed witchcraft and cursed Altan Khan to die early throughout the southern grasslands of the desert.

Altan Khan was reluctant to kill him, so the public gossip and the accumulated criticism forced him to kill Xin Ai! By the way, these circumstances and the news that Altan Khan wanted to kill him should be passed on to Xin Ai in a timely manner.

If Altan Khan has a deep affection for his son and is reluctant to kill him, we will force Xin Ai to rebel. If they have already raised the flag of rebellion, Altan Khan will shed tears and kill his evil son even if he is reluctant!

Nangong Ye swallowed his saliva. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so cruel!
There is no way for Xin Ai to survive.

But it was true that Xin Ai, as the most skilled military commander under Altan Khan, who had always been hostile to the Ming Dynasty, was indeed a great threat. His death was better than the tears of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians.

Xu Wei wrote them down one by one, and then asked: "Your Highness, what should we do with Dong Huli?"

"He is a chess piece we deployed in the area around the source of the Luan River to deal with Xin'ai and Tumen Khan. Has his loyalty been written?"

"Your Highness, he wrote it, and his name was signed in blood."

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "That thing is just an attitude. I don't expect that thing to keep his loyalty. As long as we are strong enough, he will be an obedient hound. If we become weak, he will naturally become a wolf."

Xu Wei, Li Zhi and Nangong Ye said in unison: "Your Highness is wise!"

"Mr. Wenchang, please take the trouble to build up the character of Dong Huli."

"Character?"

"Yes, that's the image of him being loyal to his master, taking the initiative to surrender, and willing to exchange his entire family's life and property for Xin Ai."

Xu Wei smiled, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Under our management, Dong Huli's character has been built very well. The source of the Luan River, the Hetao of the Liao River and other areas are all telling stories about him sacrificing himself for the Lord.

This time he came to pick up Xin Ai in person. When Xin Ai saw him, she hugged him and cried loudly, and then they left the customs together. "

"Okay, secretly provide gold, silver, silk and other items to have him bribe and win over Xin Ai's subordinates. When Altan Khan wants to kill his own son, or Xin Ai fails in his rebellion, have Dong Huli lead his troops to join Tumen Khan and continue our cooperation as we agreed!"

"Yes."

Zhu Yijun walked slowly around the room with his hands in his sleeves.

"We can't be slow in the north, we have now completed the task. We can't be impatient in the east, have the Japanese envoys returned yet?"

"Your Highness, let's go back. Get on the ship at Dagu, then transfer to another ship at Dengzhou and return to Hirado."

"Well, I've been hanging around for two or three months, and I've had a lot of fun talking to these guys. Has the port of Mossafan been plowed yet?"

"Your Highness, it's over. Originally, the Fujian Navy was to be dispatched to the north to execute the imperial edict, but the Guangdong and Guangxi pirates Zeng Yiben and Cai Daoqian fled to Annan. After a period of recuperation, they became pirates again and invaded the Guangdong waters.

The Huizhou bandit chieftain, Wu Qima, rose up again to respond.

Wang Chonggu went to Beijing to report on his work, but the post of Governor of Guangdong was vacant. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel were still undecided, and there was no leader, which caused trouble. Finally, the cabinet voted to appoint Yin Zhengmao, Governor of Guangxi, as Governor of Guangdong. Only then did they mobilize the Fujian Navy to go south and join the Guangdong Navy to suppress the rebellion by land and sea.

Zhu Yijun shook his head. "The Ministry of War, like the other five ministries, is good at handling paperwork. They are often at a loss when it comes to improvisations like this. Alas! Mr. Wenchang, continue."

"Yes, Your Highness. Liu Butang from the Navy Bureau has dispatched the Zhejiang Navy to the north to plow all five ports in Mossa Province."

"Fighting is fighting, but the reorganization of the navy into the Three Seas Navy should not be delayed. From now on, twice a year, the battalions of the Three Seas Navy will take turns to go north to plow the ports of the Japanese feudal domains as a routine actual combat exercise.

If beating these Eastern Japanese monkeys once or twice doesn't wake them up, then I'll beat them twice a year for eight or ten years. Then you'll be terrified when you go fishing in the sea. I think they will understand the truth I'm telling them!"

Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered something, "Mr. Wenchang, I saw in an ancient book that there is an island called Benben Island, which is the largest island. To the north and east, there is an island with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are mountains of gold and silver on it.

The Lifanyuan and the Navy Bureau can organize a fleet to go there for a secret survey. If they find it, they can occupy it and mine it well. It is not far from the Japanese island and there is no shortage of manpower. "

Sado Gold Mine, a gold and silver mine that supported the finances of the Tokugawa shogunate for three hundred years, is said to have been the world's number one in production during its heyday in the 17th century.

Now, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty!
