- The autumn of the thirteenth year of Jiajing.
"Ada Khan", the leader of the 30,000 Tumut tribe on the right wing of Northern Mongolia, sent an envoy to Beijing to ask the Ming Dynasty to open border trade and allow Mongolia to exchange cattle and sheep for supplies from the Central Plains.
This matter was brought to the court for discussion by Lin Li.
The twenty-two-year-old Emperor Jiajing was young and energetic and firmly opposed to trading with Mongolia.
The current chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Shouren, who is also the Minister of War, refuted Emperor Jiajing on the spot, saying that trading with Mongolia was good for the Ming Dynasty and could avoid military disasters, with no harm at all.
But the young Emperor Jiajing always felt that once the mutual market was opened, the Ming Dynasty would repeat the events of the Song Dynasty.
Most of the courtiers did not express their opinions and were waiting for Lin Li to speak.
Lin Li was regent for the thirteenth year of the Ming Dynasty. He could be said to have kept his word in the court, and even the words of Emperor Jiajing were not effective.
But this time, Lin Li was surprisingly calm. He even said that Emperor Jiajing was already an adult and would need to rule in person sooner or later, so it was just a good opportunity to train him.
When Emperor Jiajing saw that Lin Li was supporting him, he insisted on going his own way. He refuted Wang Shouren and directly drove Anda Khan's envoy back. He said firmly that he would rather go to war than compromise with Mongolia.
As a result, before winter arrived, Anda Khan contacted various tribes in Mongolia and joined forces of 100,000 soldiers to go south, harassing the Great Wall, burning, killing, and looting!
The invasion of Northern Mongolia shocked the government and the public. At this time, Jiajing panicked and quickly summoned the cabinet and Lin Li to discuss countermeasures.
Emperor Jiajing had too little experience after all. He panicked as soon as Northern Mongolia sent troops, fearing that Mongolian soldiers would come to Beijing.
Wang Shouren originally agreed to trade with Mongolia because he was worried about the current situation. He also reminded Emperor Jiajing at that time.
But Emperor Jiajing wanted to establish his authority so much and get rid of Lin Li's shadow that he didn't take Wang Shouren's words seriously.
This incident also let the courtiers know that although Emperor Jiajing was an adult, he was not yet capable of handling government affairs independently. Many ministers who had previously advocated Emperor Jiajing's pro-government suddenly stopped.
Now there are two choices before Ming Dynasty. One is to fight against Ada Khan and fight with Northern Mongolia.
The second option is to agree to Anda Khan¡¯s request and open the border to mutual trade.
The current Emperor Jiajing no longer had the toughness he had before. He panicked as soon as Northern Mongolia sent troops, and said that he would agree to Anda Khan's request and open up mutual markets.
But at this time, Wang Shouren and Lin Li disagreed!
Because this moment is the same as that moment.
Anda Khan proposed a mutual market before. Everyone trades on an equal level. Daming has no losses, and maybe there are benefits.
But now that Anda Khan has sent troops and the imperial court has agreed to trade with each other, the Northern Mongolia side will definitely make a big move, which will be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty!
Especially since Northern Mongolia has harassed the border of Ming Dynasty and killed many people, if the imperial court surrenders now, it will be a loss of power and humiliation to the country!
Lin Li proposed that Emperor Jiajing follow the example of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, and go to the front line to supervise the battle, improve the morale of the army, and fight Anda Khan fiercely.
Emperor Jiajing was afraid of a repeat of the "Tumu Fort Incident", so he refused to go on a personal expedition, and he never wanted to fight.
In the end, Lin Li persisted and insisted on going his own way. He sent Wang Shouren to lead 70,000 troops to join the top ten border generals to attack Northern Mongolia.
Lin Li did not insist on letting Emperor Jiajing personally conquer the war, but after this incident, Emperor Jiajing's prestige was damaged, and he couldn't even think about it!
After years of countering rebellions, Wang Shouren's military skills have become unrivaled in the world. Lin Li is stationed in the capital and personally provides him with logistics.
This battle is also a rare battle between the Ming Dynasty and Northern Mongolia after the "Tumu Fort Incident", and it represents great significance.
In order to ensure victory in this battle, Lin Li invested all his strength. All four of his spies were dispatched and sent to the north to help Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren did not disappoint Lin Li. He lured the enemy deep into the grassland, defeated Anda Khan, and defeated Beimeng. He lost all his armor!
Since then, the situation between Ming Dynasty and Northern Mongolia has been mutually offensive and defensive.
Lin Li and Wang Shouren almost became gods because of this battle.
However, after this battle, Wang Shouren submitted his resignation to Lin Li, wanting to concentrate on education and develop "mind learning."
Lin Li knew that Wang Shouren's wish was fulfilled when he defeated Mongolia and became famous all over the world. He only wanted to promote his own doctrine for the rest of his life.
Wang Shouren's resignation was retained by Lin Li, but he still let Wang Shouren leave Beijing to develop "Xin Xue", but he retained his official status and could come back anytime he wanted!
Lin Li had a feeling that when he saw Wang Shouren again, he might have become a "sage".
After Wang Shouren left, Lin Li continued to reform the Ming Dynasty and implemented the later Manchu and Qing Dynasty's "divide a small family into an area".Restrict land annexation.
Because Lin Li defeated Bei Mongolia, his prestige had reached its peak, and there was no obstacle to the implementation of reforms, which was very smooth.
The chariot of Ming Dynasty is slowly entering the fast lane, changing every year.
In the fifteenth year of Jiajing's reign, the Empress Dowager died in depression, and Lin Li was buried in a grand ceremony.
In the 20th year of Jiajing, Northern Mongolia regained its strength and made a comeback. Lin Li once again sent 120,000 troops to attack head-on. He went deep into the grassland and decided to fight. He completely defeated Northern Mongolia and retreated automatically. The Ming Dynasty expanded its territory thousands of miles.
In the twenty-third year of Jiajing's reign, the Minister of Rites submitted a request to Emperor Jiajing to take charge of the government. Lin Li agreed and handed over his power.
In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, Jiajing, three years after taking power, launched the "1898 Coup". Two factories and one bodyguard united with masters from the eight major sects in the Jianghu to attack the "Prince Yue's Mansion".
As a result, the King of Yue personally took action, killing 160 masters, and went to the palace alone to question Emperor Jiajing.
In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing issued an imperial edict and abdicated in favor of a worthy person. Lin Li supported the youngest son of the clan to ascend the throne and continue to regent the Ming Dynasty.
In the third year of Yongkang, Ye Gucheng came with a sword from the west and challenged Lin Li. The two fought at the top of the Forbidden City. The "Fifteenth Sword" defeated the "Flying Immortal from Heaven", and a generation of sword immortals fell.
In the sixth year of Yongkang, Princess Gongsun of Yue died of illness. Lin Li was deeply saddened and buried Gongsun Lan with empress etiquette.
Gongsun Lan and Lin Li have been married for decades, and their love is still as good as ever. Lin Li has never taken concubines in his life. Gongsun Lan is the only woman who can fulfill their vows.
"It's a pity that the two have been married for many years and have no children, leaving the King of Yue with no successor!"
In the eighteenth year of Yongkang, the eighty-year-old Lin Li voluntarily gave up his position, resigned as regent, and returned to power as Emperor Yongkang.
In the 23rd year of Yongkang, the King of Yue died suddenly while he was idle at home. Before his death, the servants of the King of Yue saw a white light pouring out of the King of Yue's room, and then no one saw the King of Yue. The court announced that the King of Yue had died suddenly, and the whole country mourned!
In the 30th year of Yongkang, several people came to Mount Huashan in the Ming Dynasty. These people were all masters, and they only wore a single piece of clothing even in the ice and snow.
The leader is none other than Wang Shouren, who is now at the top of the academic circle!
The people around him were Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue, the four secret agents of the "Dragon Protector Villa" back then.
Several people walked to the top of Huashan Mountain and saw a man standing in the snow.
This person is the regent of the Ming Dynasty who has been dead for many years!
Lin Li looked at Wang Shouren and the others and said happily: "You are here!"
Wang Shouren smiled and said: "Your Majesty invited me, I dare not not come!"
Lin Li said: "I am no longer the prince!"
Wang Shouren said: "You will always be the regent of the Ming Dynasty!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
