Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng knew that on the Datong front line, I was already impatient.  If you can't wait for the fight to begin, all your efforts will be wasted.

    Therefore, according to the decree, without waiting for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the canonization, the cabinet immediately notified Datong in the form of a court mail, eight hundred miles away.

    Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi were already waiting with their mouths full of bubbles.  Just as the two husbands expected, more than 100,000 horses were left to dry for more than a month. They had run out of food and grass, were hungry and cold, and had to kill the horses to feed themselves.  All departments naturally boiled and filled the sky.  If Governor Wang hadn't been so bold as to send Shanxi merchants to sneak around Yungang and transport a batch of grain and grass to stabilize them, this war would have started long ago.

    After the two of them received a letter from the court, they immediately sent Green Lantern to take a counselor out of the city and go to the Mongolian camp to report the good news to me.

    After I heard the news, I was also overjoyed.  This time he insisted on recruiting him to peace, but there was a lot of opposition among his brothers and sons. If he failed to recruit him to peace, it would be another matter where Lao Khan would put his face, and his prestige would be seriously affected.

    He immediately summoned all the ministers to his tent and listened to the angels read out the decree of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

    When I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to confer the old Khan as the King of Shunyi, grant the Khan's brother Lao the capital, the eldest son Huang Taiji as the governor and magistrate, and grant 61 leaders including Bin Tu Taiji as commanders and officials of thousands of households In short  , big and small bosses, all of them are like monkeys, and with the status of officials of the Ming Dynasty they can make these guys look pretty to death.

    I answered that my younger brother is the master, and he kept saying, I didn¡¯t expect that my eldest brother was wise.

    "Oh haha, of course, what if I am the eldest brother and you are the little brother?" I laughed proudly. From now on, I will be on an equal footing with those Shanxi feudal lords!

    He remembered that Ji Chibailai had scolded him for wanting to be Ming Dynasty¡¯s dog, so he teased: ¡°Why, don¡¯t you think it would be a disgrace to our ancestors to be Ming Dynasty¡¯s dog?¡±

    "Well, when a dog can stay still and eat smoothly, who wants to be a hungry wolf looking for food in the snow?" Lao Badu showed no shame at all, with an old face like the bark of a jujube tree smiling broadly.  Liao Huadao: "Having the opportunity to be Ming Dynasty's dog is the greatest luck!"

    "Hahaha, God bless you forever" Anda's sons also laughed, obviously agreeing.

    Only Anda¡¯s eldest son, Huang Taiji, was a little unhappy. He felt that his father, the King of Shunyi, would probably inherit Han Naji from the court in the future, and it would not be his turn to indulge in his addiction to being a prince.

    Since you have made your father a king, why should you also make yourself a little king?

    He asked Chatterji Salmani to ask the angel, how big an official is this governor?  Is there a Governor-General Xuanda?

    In Huang Taiji¡¯s view, Governor Xuanda was the highest official under the emperor.  The imperial court will definitely not seal a bigger one to itself, so that there will be an excuse to cause trouble.

    "It's a pity that there is a traitor among the Taijis. Qiataiji has long been bribed by Wang Chonggu, so he told the Green Lantern Man Huang Taiji's thoughts in Chinese.

    Lu Guang then smiled and told Huang Taiji that the governor Tongzhi was from the first rank.  And the Governor of Xuanda, Wang Chonggu, is only a second-grade official. In terms of grade, you are still half a grade higher than him.

    "Oh, really? That's great!" Huang Taiji was immediately overjoyed and never mentioned the problem of being a little king.

    Seeing that the leaders had no objections, I was completely relieved and ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, entertained the angels, and celebrated the completion of the tribute.

    After three drinks, Lu Guang told An Da that the formal canonization ceremony would take time to prepare, and it would definitely be too late a year ago.  "Why don't you, Your Majesty, set off back to the grassland and come back to receive the title when spring comes next year?"

    "It's freezing cold today, and I can't wait to break camp and go back as soon as possible." Ida couldn't wait to pretend to be the King of Shunyi, burping from wine and said: "But the problem is, if we return empty-handed, hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children in each department will  , I don¡¯t know how many times I will starve to death.¡±

    "So the prince is worried about this?" Lu Guang laughed and said, "Governor Wang has already considered this matter. Since the prince has surrendered, your people are my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the court will not sit idly by."

    "Governor Wang has ordered Shanxi merchants to prepare enough food for you to survive the winter, as well as tea bricks, iron pots, cloth, medicinal materials, etc., which are all urgently needed by your department." Lu Guang said, looking at Salmani.  :

    "Please, Your Majesty, send Qataiji to follow me back to Datong to discuss the transaction. If everything goes well, the goods will be shipped to the camp within three days."

    "Oh, really? That's great!" An Da and others were ecstatic again. For many years, they had been asking for mutual benefits, but now they finally got what they wanted.  They all calculated how much of the cattle, sheep and horses they had brought with them could be used for trade.

    "I will give the order to withdraw most of the troops first, leaving only some people to trade here."In anticipation, Ma Fang and two thousand fine cavalry were immediately sent out of the city to greet him!

    "This is a great gift!" After Ma Fang left, Governor Wang said with a big smile to the governor, "Otherwise we won't be able to live well every year."

    "Then we should parade them through the streets of Datong and Xuanfu first, and then send them to the capital as prisoners?" Fang Fengshi suggested with deep understanding.

    "Well, we need to send heavy troops to protect them. One is to nip the trouble in the bud, and the other is to build momentum so that the people will regard them as the chief culprits." Wang Chonggu nodded.

    These days, there is too much pressure on his shoulders.  The tribute was barely passed after two court discussions.  In other words, there are still half of the people who will fiercely oppose even if they offend Gao Gong.

    Even in Xuanda, voices calling Wang Chonggu a traitor and weakling were rampant.  Especially the family members of those who died in the Shizhou massacre. Jiantian held banners and wrote letters in blood outside the Governor's Mansion to protest, which made him very passive.
