Chapter 963 Unexpected news
"My de Badali, please see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Badali came to the pavilion and worshiped respectfully with the courtesy of the Ming ministers.
"Ah...ah..."
Hai Lanzhu's screams suddenly became louder, making her even more shocking.
Zhu Xu heard the sound, his temples hurt, and the blue veins on his forehead hopped down, suppressing his irritability and restlessness, and said, "No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Badali heard the movement and knew that Zhu Xu had no time to pay attention to him. Her face remained motionless. She looked at the closed door. Listening to Hai Lanzhu's screams, she was also praying in her heart that she must be a boy!
The geographical location of Korqin is very bad. To the west is the increasingly powerful Junggar, to the south is the Ming Dynasty, to the east is the expanding Chahar, and to the north are densely packed with Kharkhas. It can be said that they are surrounded by enemies on all sides and have no way out. The only thing that can protect the weak Korqin is the continuous strength and suppress the surrounding Ming Dynasty!
The relationship between Korqin and the Ming Dynasty was very fragile. The Ming Dynasty's strategy was obviously to require the Mongolian tribes in the desert to check and balance each other and consume each other. This is not what Korqin wanted to see.
In particular, Chahar seems to have had some abnormal movements recently. Many tribes in the south of the desert have been swallowed up by it, which has directly threatened the survival of Korqin.
This time, when His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was married, Badali came to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to put pressure on Chahar again to ensure that Korqin was not swallowed by Chahar.
Hai Lanzhu's voice became more and more shrill, and Badali's heart also rose to his throat, and he secretly recited scriptures and prayed.
Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun, Empress Dowager Zhang, and the old concubine were all looking at the door. Listening to Hai Lanzhu's screams, they felt uncomfortable and worried.
Suddenly, Hai Lanzhu's voice suddenly became loud and sharp, and suddenly disappeared. Then a midwife quickly opened the door and shouted to Zhu Xu and the group of people, "Emperor, you are a prince, a prince, and a mother and son are safe..."
Zhu Xu stood up suddenly and said happily: "Okay! Reward! Reward! Everyone has rewards!"
With a heart in his stomach, he was happy that he had a second son. Zhu Xu was very excited and strode towards the delivery room as he said that.
Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Concubine Liu and others breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu walked into the room, and the child was still cleaning. The female imperial physician, midwife and others saluted Zhu Xu and quietly gave him space to see Hai Lanzhu.
Zhu Xu looked at the child, with a complicated mentality, gave out a secret breath, came to Hai Lanzhu, and looked at her pale face, sweaty face, and her whole hair was soaked. She gently touched her forehead and comforted in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work, it's okay, have a good rest."
Hai Lanzhu was very tired and seemed to be very laborious when she blinked. She looked at Zhu Xu and squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't work hard, this is what I should do."
Zhu Xu took care of her hair on her face, held her hand, and said softly: "Go to sleep, I will accompany you, don't worry about the child, I will watch it myself."
Hai Lanzhu's pretty face was tender, her eyes were like water, she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Xu nodded and pulled her a quilt. No matter what, this was his woman, who gave birth to a son for him, and Zhu Xu was not stingy and not lazy.
Hai Lanzhu was extremely tired. She held Zhu Xu's hand, closed her eyes gently, and her breathing gradually became even.
Some children are born with "rules". Midwives are more careful in the gods and ghosts, female imperial physicians, etc. Although the Imperial Hospital is doing its best to save the newborn as much as possible, this kind of thing is still more important.
The old concubine and others looked at the newly born second prince, and felt as if a big rock fell to the ground. They were happy on their faces. They whispered for a while, and saw Zhu Xu guarding Hai Lanzhu again, so they quietly retreated.
After a while, Zhu Xu felt that Hai Lanzhu was asleep, so he carefully pulled out his hand, covered Hai Lanzhu with a quilt, and told the female imperial physician, palace maid to take good care of her. After looking at the sleeping child for a while, he left the room.
Empress Dowager Zhang, the old concubine and others were very happy. After saying a few words to Zhu Xu, they left one after another. Only Zhu Xu and Badali were left in the pavilion.
Badali touched Zhu Xu and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for your joy in getting a noble son. I have given you a polite courtesy. Please ask Your Majesty to accept it."
Zhu Xu was in a good mood now, so he took it and looked at him, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Badali in surprise.
There are thirty top-notch horses, five hundred good horses, and various precious things. This gift list costs at least 3,000 taels of silver. This is really a big deal for Korqin today.
"I have accepted it!" Zhu Xu looked at Badali and said, "It's rare that you still miss me. In this way, I'm considering reopening. The location is being discussed. Huimeng Chamber of Commerce will give Korqin a seat on the board of directors."
The mutual trade with the Ming Dynasty is what all the northern nomadic peoples long for. The grasslands and deserts are too scarce, and there is no mutual trade in the Ming Dynasty. They have lived a difficult life from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Thank you Your Majesty, I will thank you for your kindness on behalf of the 200,000 people of Korqin!" Badali was overjoyed and bowed to Zhu Xu again.
Korqin was really too weak and needed too much. Although the Ming Dynasty protected Korqin, it was always cautious in helping Korqin. In addition, the Huimeng Chamber of Commerce was always in Tumu Fort, facing Chahar. Korqin received very few benefits and urgently needed a blood transfusion in the Ming Dynasty.
If it is Gansu Town or Zhangjiakou, it would be the best!
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "No gift, Korqin is my vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, I will not sit idly by. By the way, why are you hurrying to enter the palace?"
Badali immediately calmed down and was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I am here this time, it's about Chahar."
Zhu Xu looked motionless and said, "Continue."
Badali looked at Zhu Xu, and said in a cautious tone, "Your Majesty, I heard that Gansu Town has been a little uneasy recently?"
Zhu Xu had already guessed what Badali meant, and laughed in his heart. Following his words, he said lightly: "Well, the towns in Gansu have been uneasy. Since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard to build them. No bandits can enter the pass."
When Badali saw Zhu Xu's speech lightly, he felt nervous. After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, I have noticed that Junggar and Chahar's envoys have close contacts."
The Jinyiwei did a very good job in the infiltration of Chahar. Zhu Xu also knew about this and said unchangedly: "Lin Dankhan is a Mongolian Khan and a descendant of the Golden Family. Although Junggar is a different branch, he is also a Mongolian Khanate, so it is not surprising that he has some contacts."
These Khanate countries in Mongolia have long been divided and hated each other. As for the so-called golden family and the Mongolian Khan, they are all nominal and no one has paid attention to them for a long time.
Seeing that Zhu Xu was still not touched at all, Badali thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Huang Taiji has entered the Junggar now and married the second daughter of Halahula Khan. He conquered several tribes for Junggar and obtained a huge ranch..."
Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly sank, looked up at Badali, and said coldly: "This is true?"
Badali felt Zhu Xu's 'badness' and lowered his head and said, "Some people fled back from the west of the Mo. This is how they got it from their mouths, and it cannot be confirmed."
Zhu Xu looked at Badali and slowly tapped his fingers on the table.
Mongolia is still divided into three major regions. The first is Mongolia in the south of the desert. With Korqin and Chahar, it is the strongest, basically sticking to the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, stretching from south to north and tens of thousands of miles. With the changes in many years of wars, this part of its strength has withered and widely distributed.
The second is Mongolia, the northern desert north of the desert center. This part is called Khalkha, and there are various khanates. The Tushetu tribe is the strongest and is the leader of the tribes. However, it does not border the Ming Dynasty and has little contact, so it is relatively "settled".
The third is the Mongolian in the west of the desert, with the widest distribution area and the strongest strength. They were formed after the partial split of the Oirat. The Khanate of the Junggar, Yarkand, Hoshuot, Kazakhstan and other khanates were concentrated here and had strong strength. Among them, the Junggar had the most arrogance. In recent years, it has annexed many small tribes and factions and had a disgusting relationship with the Khalkhado. At the same time, the Junggar and the leader Hoshuot tribe are still fighting intra-fighting for hegemony in this region.
Zhu Xu's heart flew around and his fingers hit him very quickly.
Junggar is a big trouble in the future, and ambition Huang Taiji is like a tiger that can be regarded as a tiger, and cannot be underestimated!
‘Monan must be solved!’
Zhu Xu's eyes twitched and looked at Badali and said, "If I want to eradicate Chahar, what do you think we should do?"
