Chapter 1152 Chain Reaction
Emperor Wanli has been too busy recently.

While reading the incomprehensible long letter sent by Chen Mu, he learned useful points from it, and at the same time accepted the shock and thinking brought about by the military and civilian changes in Hangzhou, and finally caught up with Qi Jiguang outside the Great Wall launching a sweep In the first battle, Bei Yuan Da Khan died in the tent.

In the last incident, it was not a big deal for the courtiers to kill the Tuman Khan by the thunder from the sky, but it was very encouraging to the Wanli Emperor.

Originally, the Khan Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was no longer an enemy worthy of Ming's attention. After losing almost all Han culture, the Mongols outside the Great Wall degenerated into what they were before Genghis Khan established the law code and formed the alliance. They are short-sighted and poorly equipped.

But they haven't changed, times have changed.

Just like the Mongolian army in the era of Genghis Khan, its military power, theory, and equipment reached the peak of the cold weapon era after it went south to conquer Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin. The horses in Central Asia include the light, strong and fast tendon-horned riding bows of Mongolia, the heavy armor called the Iron Buddha in the Song and Jin Dynasties, and even siege weapons such as Huihui cannons.

Even so, the idea of ​​conquering more distant lands was not on Genghis Khan's agenda, almost without desire.

As a result, none of the 500 people in the caravan sent by Genghis Khan to the west to do business with Khwarazmo were killed. When Genghis Khan said that as long as he handed over the murderer and compensated, everything would be fine, Khwarazmo refused to pay.

For Mongolia, which has only 10,000+ strong men in the country, what kind of hatred does it mean to be killed by [-] strong men?
Only then triggered the next war of annihilating the country and the Western Expedition.

And now the Saibei Mongolia is what it used to be. They still have Mongolian horses with superior endurance and are suitable for expeditions, and they still have light and fast tendon horn bows, but they forget that their ancestors were already armed when European knights were still wearing chain armor. I can't even make the iron armor on my body because I don't have iron and I don't know how to make it.

As for the return cannon, who remembers what it is?
This is also the reason why the once mighty and invincible Mongolian army was beaten to the ground in the early Ming Dynasty. Regardless of its weak strength or weak culture, once it encounters stronger strength or cultural shock, it is easy to lose its combat effectiveness.

This is the case for all the khanates of the Mongol Empire distributed in Asia. The faster the localization, the faster the collapse.

As for the current state of the northern territory, it is not that Mongolia is not weak enough, but that the great empire south of the Great Wall has rotted even more thoroughly after the founding of the country for a hundred years.

The situation they faced was the same. Tumen Khan hoped to reverse the chaotic situation when he established the code; Emperor Longqing also wanted to reverse the political environment where corruption was awaiting death.

Reform is only in progress, never in completion.

It's just that the process is faster south of the Great Wall, because productivity has received a large enough stimulus under already improved conditions.

Mongolia is still Mongolia, but Ming has a completely new look.

When the bows, knives and horses are still standing on the Great Wall under the setting sun with the old faces of the nomads in the northern part of the country for thousands of years, looking south, what greets them is not the majestic heavy armored men with spears and spears piercing their hearts like forests and crossbows, but the cold and ruthless Zhenshuo General.

Therefore, the Mongolian Khan Court has long been no longer the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. To be scared by Qi Jiguang's victory for ten years and not dare to go south to knock down the pass, it is flattering to be called a barbarian.

The scholar-bureaucrats and generals of the Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to this so-called khan court at all. What they cared more about was the monster on the grassland sandwiched between Ming and Mongolia, occupying a [-]mm iso-precipitation line, which was suitable for farming and animal husbandry. I Da Khan, King of Shunyi in the Kingdom of Jin, is Daming's confidant and serious trouble.

That is the person who is most likely to rebuild Genghis Khan's great cause if his bloodline is excluded in troubled times.

But now the man is dead, the youngest son is growing up happily in the Forbidden City, and his wife is waiting for the emperor's follow-up arrangements in Beijing.

Don't mention the mood of Emperor Wanli at the moment. At this time of great importance, the Ming Empire even went to the morning court. The emperor took all the civil and military officials to the suburban festival of Tiandi Altar on foot, humming songs and ran all the way, and the hat ran away. Prostrate at the Jongmyo and tell the good news to the father and grandfather.

Grandpa Jiajing, I think Al Dahan, who held you in Beijing for eight days and was too scared to fight back, was boiled to death by his grandson.

Father Longqing, think of the man who made you bear the burden of humiliation and didn't even dare to eat one more pancake, my son has already educated you on your behalf.

After kowtowing, he returned to the palace and began to prepare for a funeral worthy of this title for King Shunyi of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Great joy.

However, just as Altan Khan's siege of the Beijing city of Suogong during the Jiajing period caused the chain reaction of the Nine Frontiers' army and military training, this time Qi Jiguang's achievements in Saibei far surpassed those of the past, which also made the towns and towns on the Nine Frontiers eager to move.

"Where did Ding Shiqing go?"

In the military room of the Qianqing Palace, Wanli was tired of reviewing the manuscript, and yawned boredly, and put the cabinet papers in red on the poop, and his trusted eunuch Wang An immediately took out another volume from the deck and handed it to him. It caused the emperor to show a reproachful look, and then looked up at the map of the world hanging on the wall.

This year's Chinese New Year, taking advantage of Wanli's time when he was training soldiers in Tsinghua Garden, Wang An took the eunuchs and maids to re-arrange the military. The map of the world in the ninth year of Cheng Wanli was hung on the wall facing the emperor's seat.

It seems that this can satisfy the emperor's desire to travel the seven seas on a warship.

"The telegram from half an hour ago, they can rest in Zhending Mansion tonight...Grandpa, don't approve it?"

Wang An was about to put the notebook back on the deck, but Wanli raised his hand and held it down: "Approval, late approval is worse than early approval, anyway, it's all my business, see Ding Shiqing after the approval in these two days... How is the West Factory? People can be recruited."

Hearing this, Wang An smiled and put the notebook back in front of Wanli, then shook his head and said: "Not yet. There are already candidates from thousands of households, and the people who are in charge of the affairs are also in the clan, Jinyi, and Dongchang. , the Forbidden Army, and the Beijing Camp have been selected."

"Since the selection is made, why not recruit?"

"Slaves have to wait until Grandpa's stack of votes is approved before recruiting, otherwise the total number of fans cannot be determined."

Wang An's words made the emperor scratch his head in embarrassment.

He wanted to let Wang An recruit thousands of people at first, but seeing Ding Shiqing's incident, he expanded it to ten units in each county, at least an additional 1 people .

At present, these generals are all clamoring to fight. From Jianzhouwei to Hamiwei, almost everyone is clamoring to fight for the imperial court. Such a magnificent scene has never been seen even in the days when the soldiers of Alda Khan besieged the Forbidden City.

The most direct result is... that Wang An's West Factory is going to expand again.

　Good morning!
