The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 170 The Mongol Plan

State of Song.

"Alas, Meng Chixing was killed, and the strength of the Mongols was greatly weakened, which is a good thing.

But if the Mongols went to war with the Ming because of this and disrupted the balance among the nations, that would be bad, alas."

Zhao Ji sighed, worried about the country and the people.

"What the emperor said is very true. The Ming Dynasty is still impulsive."

"Yes, the Emperor of Ming is young after all, and is far less calm and wise than the official."

···
“Well, let’s just wait and see what happens.

By the way, send a congratulation to Emperor Ming. After all, it is a cause for celebration that he killed a strong alien warrior for the Han people.

The gifts should be more valuable. Emperor Ming likes real gold and silver, so we will give these.

Do you understand?" Zhao Ji said finally.

"Yes."

····
Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang was shocked at first, and then he became excited and ready to take action.

"Okay, okay, Meng Chixing has a very high status and great influence in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

No matter what, Temujin would definitely avenge him, and would not give up even if he did not fight the Ming Dynasty to the death.

This is my chance.”

"Send an order to speed up preparations. Once the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty go to war, I will personally lead an expedition to Goguryeo again."

····
The Jin and Liao kingdoms were all preparing in secret and watching the current situation.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hahahaha!"

"It is a good thing that Meng Chixing died. Once he died, the martial arts world was filled with the might of the Ming Dynasty.

Alas, what a pity! I should personally take action and kill that sorcerer.

By then, let's see how many masters the Mongols still have. "

Zhu Houzhao looked at the information reported by the Jinyiwei, laughed arrogantly again, and then said a little dissatisfiedly.

Ever since his uncle Gaozu and his men killed Meng Chixing, he felt that there was good news everywhere, one after another.

Those annoying noises disappeared a lot.

With such outstanding results, he was of course a little dissatisfied.

Below, Liu Jian, Duke of England and others remained silent.

"By the way, where is the army led by Lao Wang?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked again.

"Your Majesty, we are almost at the northern border," replied the Duke of England.

"The old king said that no matter what, Temujin would definitely raise an army to attack the Ming Dynasty.

But it won’t be large.

How about I go there myself and wipe out the Wala and Tatar in one fell swoop?" Zhu Houzhao said excitedly.

Suddenly, Liu Jian and others frowned.

"Your Majesty, now is a critical time for our Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty must not leave the capital.

Destroying the Oirat and Tatar and expanding the war with the Mongols would not be conducive to the current reforms of our Ming Dynasty.

The training of new troops also requires tempering through combat.

This time Temujin raised an army because of the Mengchixing incident, but the scale would not be large at all. It was the perfect time to train the new army.

I ask Your Majesty to think twice." Liu Jian immediately said in a deep voice.

The others just nodded silently to show their agreement, but did not immediately second the motion like before.

The Duke of Yingguo, the Duke of Dingguo and others present secretly sneered.

You have today too.

They understood this situation very well.

This is a manifestation of the civil officials' true respect for imperial power.

Like the previous emperor, once one minister spoke, a large number of other officials immediately seconded his opinion.

what is this?
What’s the difference with forcing abdication?
Perhaps the civil servants themselves do not have such thoughts, but they act in this way instinctively, which can better reflect the power of the civil servants.

It's really different now.

Zhu Houzhao lost interest after hearing this.

There was nothing wrong with training soldiers, but the Ming Dynasty's reforms forced him to suppress his thoughts of destroying the Oirat and Tatar.

"Forget it, forget it. I just said it casually." Waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao said indifferently.

The next moment, he smiled and said, "Ma Shangshu, you can go to the cabinet and issue an imperial decree to promote Li Shilang to the position of Minister of Personnel.

It just so happens that Lao Li has made a great contribution this time."

None of the ministers objected.

I don’t dare, but I have been mentally prepared.

This time, Li Xunhuan also made great contributions.

But they still couldn't help feeling a little awkward.

The great achievements made by Li Xunhuan were entirely the result of martial arts fighting, which were very different from the achievements of their civil servants.

Seems out of place.

After some more matters were decided, the ministers withdrew.

Zhu Houzhao was still in high spirits, thinking alone about how to reward his uncle Gaozu and the two Caos for accompanying them.

Just when all the countries in the world were looking at Meng Chixing's death with awe.

The center of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Horqin.

Helin seemed unusually solemn and sad on this day.

Because the magician Pang Ban brought back the corpse of the Demon Sect.

Meng Chixing's influence, especially his influence among the high-ranking officials of the Yuan Dynasty, was so great that it was difficult to compare with Pang Ban, let alone Ba Siba.

Because the Mengchixing really rose little by little along with the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty.

How many high-ranking officials of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty had received his favors, and how many people regarded him as a god, perhaps even he himself did not know clearly.

Many people still cannot believe Meng Chixing's death.

How could God die?

Or died in battle?
Many people could not accept it, and their morale dropped sharply. But more people were filled with grief, anger, and hatred for revenge.

They were even more angry as they looked at the corpse that barely resembled a human.

Finally, under the personal supervision of Temujin, Meng Chixing's body was cremated.

The fire continued to burn, and even though it was almost exhausted, the body was not so easily burned up by the fire.

Just as the fire was burning, Pang Ban spoke out the words that Meng Chixing had left for him.

It was mainly about the information about those people in the Ming Dynasty, and that one should not raise an army for his revenge, that the Mongols should not fight the Ming Dynasty head-on, and that the future of the Mongols lay in the Sui Dynasty.

When the latter point was mentioned, many people present frowned.

"The Lord of the Demon Sect is dead, so are we not going to do anything?" Someone with red eyes couldn't help but said angrily.

"Yeah, so we don't do anything?"

"Master Mo Zong is the national teacher of my Meng Yuan Dynasty. We must not remain indifferent."

····
People spoke one after another, murderous intent and anger were burning, and the crowd was excited.

"The Imperial Master is right."

After many people spoke, a voice as strong and majestic as the grassland sounded, and the scene immediately became quiet, with only the flames still burning.

The owner of the voice was Temujin.

He stared at the body of Meng Chixing in the fire with his eagle-like eyes and said loudly: "We can't fight to the death with the Ming Kingdom, that will only make the world happy.

Before his death, the Imperial Master also made plans for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."

When he heard the words "not fighting to the death with the Ming Dynasty", even though it was Temujin who said it, he still spoke in the words of Meng Chixing.

But there are still a few people who are not convinced.

The last sentence made most people sad and angry.

It doesn't feel like doing nothing.

"but--"

Suddenly, Temujin raised his voice, turned around, glanced at everyone, and shouted angrily: "Can we be so indifferent?

Let the national teacher die like this?
We are the sons of the grassland, we are wolves and we will avenge ourselves.

We will never give up, never, never!"

The extremely firm voice aroused the flames of revenge in everyone.

"Never! Never!"

The two words resounded throughout the world.

"I have sent this Khan's order that the Oirat and Tatars should increase their strength and not let the Ming Dynasty have an easy time.

Let Kublai Khan gather 100,000 troops and march south. As soon as there is a chance, attack the Ming Dynasty immediately." Temujin gave the order without question.

"Yes."

There were responses everywhere, some people frowned secretly, wanting to give advice but still kept their mouths shut.

You can't object at this time.

After a while, most people left.

In front of the flames, only Pang Ban and a few important ministers were left.

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to engage in a head-on fight with the Ming Kingdom at this time." An important official said in a stern voice.

"I know," Temujin said calmly.

Everyone's eyes flickered, as if they were thinking about something.

"If the Mongols had not raised an army, would Yang Guang dare to lead the army in person again?" Temujin said calmly, but a ferocious murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"The Khan is wise." Several people present immediately understood.

Temujin looked at Pangban and said solemnly: “Magic Master, Yang Guang’s second personal expedition must fail.

You still have to lend a helping hand to Goguryeo and hold on.

At that time, Kublai Khan's 100,000 cavalry will attack the Turks.

If we, the Mongols, want to conquer the Sui Dynasty, we must first deal with the Turks.

This was also the best time. Once the Turks were dealt with, Yang Guang would have to withdraw his troops.

Yang Guang, who failed in his second expedition, would not have much strength left. "

"I understand." Pang Dian nodded, with a bit of respect in his tone: "Before the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Turks, Goguryeo would never be conquered by the Sui Dynasty."

"Okay." Temujin nodded trustingly.

"Great Khan, I'm afraid the Ming will not allow us Mongols to do as we please.

Just the fact that the Great Khan's court sent out 100,000 cavalrymen would probably have been enough to keep the Ming Dynasty indifferent.

It was not a problem before, but the Ming army no longer had the ability to cross the border and attack the Mongols.

But Zhu Houzhao's Wudi Dragon Cavalry should not be underestimated. He can send troops to the grassland at any time and directly attack the Khan's 100,000 cavalry. "One person pondered.

"Zhu Houzhao is busy rectifying the country. He will not expand the war with the Mongols unless it is absolutely necessary." Temujin said with certainty.

Then, he sneered again and said proudly: "Even if Zhu Houzhao sends a message, so what?
Will our Mongols be delayed and restricted because of this?
If he dares to lead the Wudi Dragon Cavalry out of the border, this Khan will go and meet him in person."

Seeing that Temujin had considered this step, everyone present nodded silently.

"The Great Khan is wise."

"Go and get ready. This Khan will see the Imperial Master off for the last time." Temujin waved his hand, his tone somewhat sad.

Pang Ban hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly and turned away.

The master is dead, and now the most important thing is the big thing.

In a blink of an eye, Temujin was the only one left in front of the flames, and even his guards were driven away by him.

An invisible force isolates all directions.

Temujin's expression became even more sad as he looked at the corpse in the flames.

"Master, thank you very much.

This Khan has lost several sons and even more grandsons, but none of them has been as sad as your death, the Imperial Master, which makes this Khan even more sad.

But the Mongol cause is more important, so this Khan did not stop you from going.

Now, I cannot avenge you..."

"Master, don't worry. One day, I will destroy the Ming Empire and cut off Zhu Houzhao's head to avenge you."

(In Chapter 3, the chapter number was somehow wrong or repeated, and I can’t change it, but it doesn’t have much impact.)
