The guards reported him to come in and tell him to come in immediately, and Ren Yushang walked into the room quickly, and with a military salute, he commanded the lord, and loudly reported his identity.
There is a brazier in the room, there are two people sitting by the brazier and chatting on the fire, both of them are wearing Yanju regular clothes, one is about fifty, with big ears, heavy eyebrows and wide mouth, with a dignified aura between the eyebrows, although the hair has been gray, but between the eyes is not angry and self-threatening, so that people forget his age at first sight, only his tiger-like majesty rushes into the heart.
Ren Yue recognized him as the commander of the Beiping Metropolitan Envoy Han Mian Han.
There was another person sitting next to him, who looked very young, but he looked like thirty-five or sixteen, but he could sit opposite Han Du very calmly, and he didn't know what his identity was.
This person's figure looks masculine and powerful, the facial lines are very distinct, the corners of the lips are slightly pursed and resolute, the nose bridge is straight, the skin is bronzed, and there is a beautiful hair under the chin.
He was lowering his eyes on the charcoal fire, and his face was calm, but when Ren Yushang first came in, he glanced at it lightly, but that glance was extremely cold and intimidating.
Commander Han Du opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ren Yue looked at the middle-aged man, and he wanted to speak.
Commander Han smiled and said with a smile: "There is no need to be taboo, you can speak up as much as you can in public and private matters." ” Ren said in his heart, it turned out that the person was the henchman of Commander Han, so he carefully explained the conversation between him and Xia Xun and Gao Sheng, and finally said: "The goods of more than 100 vehicles, it may be difficult for the Lord of Qianhu to make a decision, and please make a decision on this matter." ” Han Yi's face became very ugly after hearing this, he wanted to show his closeness in front of that person, but he never expected that it would be such a very embarrassing thing to come out of Ren Yushang's mouth.
It's not legal, it's hidden under formal rules, it's conventional, it's commonplace, but it's just not good to put on the table.
The man smiled softly, although he didn't hear the laughter, Ren Yue clearly felt that he was smiling, but when he looked up, the man was still casually stirring the charcoal fire, as if no one was around.
"Okay, I know, you go down first, I'll give you an answer to this matter later."
As soon as Ren Yu was disbursed, Han Yi stood up, turned around, ran down in front of the middle-aged man, and kowtowed in a panic: "Lord Wang, the minister is guilty." ” In this place in Beiping, in addition to King Yan, can there be a second prince, it turns out that this heroic middle-aged man is actually Zhu Di, the king of Yan.
"Hehe, Yizhi, get up."
Zhu Di put down the furnace and helped Commander Han up with a smile.
"These things, I've heard of them for a long time, it doesn't matter, whatever, the big truth is the big truth, but if you really follow the big truth to do it, then you can't do anything damn about it, as long as it's beneficial to the country and the people, it's nothing to touch the grand law of the Great Dao."
Zhu Di patted Han Yi on the shoulder, calmed his uneasiness, and said slowly: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, my father also thought that he would take care of the heads of all the tribes and tribes in the grassland, and take the grassland under his control.
But it doesn't work, and with the ability of the Han Wu Tang Sect, it can't be done at all. ” He raised his hand to the north and said loudly: "The grassland is too big, the territory is no less than the territory of the Central Plains, its land is either a grassland or a desert, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are no cities and no passes, those who ride on horses are very slippery, if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will be avoided, if you send 100,000 troops, you need to be nourished by millions of people, and if you send millions of troops, the whole country will be dragged down."
And this million-strong army thrown into the great grassland is just a drop in the ocean, and nothing can be done.
Ten years ago, Lan Yu fought in the fishing sea, completely disintegrated the prestige of the Northern Yuan court, the golden family lost its supremacy in the Northern Yuan court, many large tribes no longer recognize the supremacy of Genghis Khan's golden family in the grassland, they have become self-reliant, began continuous infighting, well, this is exactly what we want to see. ” Zhu Di strode back and sat down beside the brazier, put a few pieces of charcoal on the ground with a fire drill, and said: "Old Han, you see, what strategy my father has been adopting over the years, neither can I possess it, but my father immediately changed the method to restrain it.
Externally, my father passed through the Jurchen forces in the northeast, and then subdued the territory of Eastern Mongolia, set up a guard there, cut off the connection between the Northern Yuan and the Korean and Jurchen, and surrounded and suppressed them from the east, west, and south.
From the inside of the Northern Yuan court, my father and emperor are pulling and pulling, pulling some people, beating some people, for those who can fight over, my father sent an edict to make them fall into the favor, they are willing to come, and my father will return to his old land, engaged in birth and raising, and Huayi is endless.
For those elm pimple heads, dead hearts and my Ming enemies, I encourage them to continue infighting, only when they want to hug the group, my father will make a heavy punch, break them up, let them continue to scatter.
Clever and clever, this is the only way to check and balance. ” Zhu Di's remarks can be said to have made a brief and clear summary of Zhu Yuanzhang's evolution and development process of the Northern Yuan's military strategy from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to recent years.
In fact, after several victories and defeats with the Northern Yuan forces, including the great victory of Lan Yu in Lake Haibaikal ten years ago, the Ming ruling class had already realized that it was impossible to completely occupy and rule the steppe, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan were still very strong at that time.
The remnants of the Northern Yuan in the early Ming Dynasty were not weak, and the reason why they gave people the impression that they were very weak was because the force of the Han army in the early Ming Dynasty was too strong, and the Northern Yuan lost more and won less.
When the Central Plains War was fought in the Battle of Jingyan, they were busy killing each other, fighting for the right to rule on the grassland, and they had no time to look south, so the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty seemed to have ceased to exist, and the feeling of being unable to invade the south at all was further strengthened in the minds of later generations, but in fact, this was naturally not the case.
In fact, less than two years after the Battle of Jingjing, the remnants of the Northern Yuan split into two countries, one Tatar and the other Warat.
Those who are familiar with history know that any one of these countries has brought a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.
And any of these forces is only half of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after the split, and this half of the forces are condensed and no longer kill each other, and their power is already so amazing.
Speaking of this, Zhu Di smiled slightly, stretched out his boots, crushed the few pieces of charcoal that had been extinguished on the ground, and said: "These small tribes along the border have no ability to be enemies with us, and they don't want to be enemies with us, don't force them to die, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, give them some benefits, they won't jump off the wall in a hurry, and they can also make other tribes have illusions."
These smuggling transactions have disadvantages, but they are not all without benefits.
Loosen up their hands and give them a way to go, so that they will not take risks, and they will not risk opening up another smuggling channel, so that the imperial court cannot control it.
The people-to-people transactions inside and outside the border gates have never been terminated because of the friendship or bad relations between the countries, I feel that it is better to guide than to guide, and it is better to sparse than to block, if the Northern Yuan Dynasty is willing to call my father a vassal, my father has already opened the border market trade, they are not convinced, and my father and the emperor cannot lose face."
Zhu Di's heart-to-heart words made Commander Han completely let go of his heart knot, and said with a smile: "The prince is high, the prince is high."
What's more, we don't open the market now, forcing them to only trade secretly, so that the benefits we get seem to be much more than the benefits given to them. ” Zhu Di glared at him and said: "You don't come, kick your nose in the face, breaking the law is breaking the law, you can, you are all stabbed in front of me, what do you say?"
Han Yi said with a smile: "I am asking to teach the prince, and the minister thinks that the number of goods in more than 100 cars is indeed amazing, you see" Zhu Di knew that Han Yi was old and sliding, and since he knew about this matter, he was unwilling to let himself stay out of the matter, but he didn't break it, he groaned slightly, waved his hand, and said: "It's not a big deal, you call it to close and check carefully, as long as it is indeed some fur and animal tendons, it is said that a hundred cars, a thousand cars, and ten thousand cars will also let it in, how many of it are, I can eat it."
You are not allowed to carry other things, as long as there is nothing else, the people accompanying you do not carry weapons, and you are afraid of thirty or fifty strong men who come over What can you do with dozens of people, if you don't switch it, they can't get by climbing mountains and mountains."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Han Yi chased after Zhu Di's buttocks, and he followed suit.
Zhu Di stood still, and said: "But eat more than 100 cars of leather and animal tendons in one go, what a big deal, you have to check what the identity of this buyer is, if it is used as a civilian use, it naturally doesn't matter, in case it is a cult villain, just follow the vine and kill them all."
"Yes, yes, the minister will do it" On this day, the Xie family set up another table of wine banquet, which was a little simpler than the scale of the girl who entertained the baked cakes, but for people like Xia Xun and Ximenqing who had seen the world, it was already extremely rich.
In addition to Xie Chuanzhong, Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, the guests also included Shen Jia, the deputy Qianhu of the guard general of Lulongkou at the border pass, and Ren Yueshang, who had met Xia Xun and Ximen Qing before.
More than a dozen girls sat or stood, singing in unison in front of six screens, silk and bamboo matching, chanting and singing to cheer them up.
The wine and food are too exquisite, in fact, it is not quite in line with the taste of the two border generals, but this kind of party is the first time the two have met, luxury and pomp is a kind of momentum, a kind of momentum, showing the power of the master, even if there is a request for you, or the status is above you, in front of this aura, you will unconsciously produce awe.

Xie Laocai didn't know how to use any power to oppress people, he just had a kind of nouveau riche inferiority complex and a eagerness to show his own psychology, deliberately creating a luxurious atmosphere, for fear that others would look down on him, and he didn't want to make the two military generals who were originally murderous also a little restrained.
Xie Chuanzhong already knew who Xia Xun was doing, and he really didn't dare to despise it as before, although Xia Xun bought a lot of goods this time, he didn't bother to come forward in person, but this time he personally held a banquet in the mansion to reconcile the matter for the two sides.
In fact, the border guards have been trading privately or conniving at buying and selling privately, and they have never been cut off.
Geographically speaking, the settled people on both sides of the border are the closest and have the most contact.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and they have lived next to each other for generations, because the division of rule caused by the ownership of the government does not completely prevent their communication.
Not to mention the wars and peace between countries, they are not always in a state of tension, and they often have to open border markets for trade.
Even in times of war, most of the reasons are initiated by the central authorities of both sides out of political necessity, and even if one side has horse bandits and bandits attacking the border, its members are not the people of these small villages in the adjacent territory, so even in wartime, the two sides often secretly help each other.
Whether you fight or not, isn't his ultimate goal just to live?
Gradually, some soldiers saw that it was profitable, and they would also join the ranks of private transactions, Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, all along, the history books about the border soldiers secretly dropped out of the rope to go down the pass, and set up stalls under the pass to trade with the other party's people.
Gradually, some border generals found that it was profitable, and it was better to block it than to let the soldiers participate in the transaction and loosen the military discipline, it was better to "pass the customs and collect taxes" and take some benefits directly from the merchants, as long as the exported items were not strategic materials.
As a result, private transactions are a non-public and actual phenomenon at almost every pass in non-war periods.
And many upper-level generals have gradually become insiders or directly involved in it.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng were fighting for the world, Zhu Yuanzhang's brave general Xie Zaixing sent people to Zhang Shicheng's territory to do business, and the matter was reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, as long as it is not something that violates the principle of surname, most of the people above turn a blind eye.
It's just that it is unprecedented for Xia Xun to buy so many materials at one time, so the guards can't help but be a little cautious.
Ren Yueshang knew that Lord Qianhu couldn't be the master of so many goods, so he simply came directly to their general backstage: Commander Han asked about countermeasures, but he didn't expect that King Yan was just there.
Now that they have received the instructions of Han Yi's commander, they have fulfilled Xie Chuanzhong, Xie Chuanzhong's banquet was opened, and the gifts were given, without saying a few words, Shen Deputy Qianhu agreed to come down, but it seemed that Xie Laocai's face was very big, Xie Laocai only felt that he had greatly increased his glory in both aspects, and under the joy, the good wine and food were only served, and the guests and hosts ate extremely happily.
After the banquet, Xie Laocai was still interested, and dragged them to enjoy the garden that he had built with a lot of money for a while, and then sent them away.
The group talked and walked outside the mansion with a smile, and Kankan walked to the front door, and was greeted by a few female relatives from Xie Mansion who came in from outside.
A few maids surrounded a few ladies and ladies, and those ladies and ladies were all wearing precious black fox fur furs, covered with gray squirrel cloaks, and wearing fox fur collars as white as snow around their necks.
But the same dress is worn on different people, the feeling is different, one of the women is also dressed like this, at a glance, but it is a long body, slender as a bamboo, its people are light and rhyme, excellent and elegant, Yingying, really like a lonely warbler in the smoke, quite the beauty of standing out from the crowd.
Xia Xun glanced at it and was stunned: "Baked cake girl" The girl who baked the cake was talking and laughing with Yan Yan, and suddenly saw him at a glance, and her face was pale: about Zhu Di's conversation, because he went to Beiping when he was very young, and fought with the soldiers and fought on the battlefield, so his accent was changed to the north.
I once thought about whether to imitate his real speaking tone, even if it is not very similar, it can also have a little charm, but in this case, first, it is difficult to write, I have to pay attention to the consistency of the language from time to time, and second, it is easy to subvert everyone's original impression of Zhu Di.
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that only by writing his image truthfully could we make everyone feel the true image of this historical figure, so I still used some of his real speaking style.
In fact, Zhu Di's real conversation is even more rustic than in the text, it is not that he is not knowledgeable, but that he often speaks.
The following is an article that has not been modified too much by the scholars, which is more in line with the original meaning of Zhu Di's speech, which was awarded by Zhu Di to a tribal leader in Tibet, Bili Abshu, after Zhu Di became emperor, and invited all scholars to appreciate it: Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: I am the west of the Han people's ground, and the leaders of the various ethnic groups in the grassland in the west hand are grinding with me.
Only Bili Abu Shu, since my father, Emperor Taizu Gao, got the west, he came to pay tribute, which means very good.
Now I am a big seat, the end of the son of Abshu, do not forget the kindness of Emperor Gao of my ancestor, know the way of heaven, and send his nephew Abshu to Beijing to pay tribute, very sincere.
When I saw this good intention, I raised up the thousand households of Bili to defend it.
The Zhongshu Sheren wrote my words carefully back, and promoted him to be the general of Mingwei, the commander of Biliwei, and the descendants of the future generations to be the ones who did it.
The west of his tribe listened to the stewardship and led it.
If there is a person who does not listen to his subordinates, he will be governed, and the soldiers will not be lazy.
On the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Yongle, it is said to be the treasure of life. ” Well, the new week has begun, and friends with monthly tickets and recommended votes in their hands don't hurry up to vote for him, and I will treat him To be continued:
