Chapter 966 Chahar
This trip to Europe is unpredictable, but Zhu Xu must send someone to this trip!
Along the way, I told Feng Zhu again, and even said some details, for fear that Feng Zhuxing would make a mistake and could not understand what he meant.
Not only Feng Zhu, but even Cao Huachun next to him could see Zhu Xu's uneasiness. If he could get out, he would probably have to go there in person. This shows how important this matter is in Zhu Xu's heart.
Feng Zhu is also an old man in Zhu Xu in the palace. He has a very good sense of responsibility and tries his best to give Zhu Xu peace of mind.
After a while, Zhu Xu woke up, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here. I'm waiting for your good news in the capital, go early and come back early, and be safe all the way."
Feng Zhu bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, listening to the sound of horse hooves outside, his heart became a little more stable.
Fortunately, I will take some care of the sea along the way. With such a large fleet, most people dare not make any decisions. Walking along the mainland, the risks should be controllable.
The carriage stopped shortly after leaving the city.
"Nickru meets His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty." Outside the carriage, awkward Chinese sounded.
"National Master, please come in." Zhu Xu's laughter came out of the car.
Cao Huachun picked up the curtain and Nicklu, wearing a thick cotton suit, walked in and saluted Zhu Xu again: "Thank you Your Majesty."
Zhu Xu looked at Nicklu. This person was also an acquaintance. Compared to the past, he is thinner and full of dust on his face, but his eyes are obscure and difficult to understand.
"Master Lao has been waiting for a long time." Zhu Xu looked at Nicklu with a smile.
Nicklu looked at Zhu Xu calmly. Compared to a few years ago, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in front of him was more restrained, confident, and had a somewhat "deep" look.
Nicklu was cautious and bowed again, saying, "Your Majesty is responsible for everything every day, and it is natural for me to wait."
Zhu Xu looked at Nickru's unmoved face, and the more he smiled, he said, "The national teacher has come from afar, have you ever walked around? The scenery of our Ming Dynasty is not the desert, but the grassland is comparable. It should have a unique flavor, right?"
Nicklu said, "The prosperity of the single capital has opened my eyes and lingered. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the only one in the world."
The four words "Only in the World" are very particular. Zhu Xu seemed to have not heard it and said directly: "Chahar does not accept the sea. I will take the national teacher to see the sea and can stay for a few more days."
Nicklu's expression was not moved, but his heart tightened, and his pupils shrank slightly to look at Zhu Xu.
It took at least two days to see the sea from the capital. What was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doing? What was his intention?
Nikru unconsciously felt a little alert, and then leaned forward and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your good wishes. This time I came here to congratulate the emperor on his wedding and celebrate the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. The other was to escort this year's tribute to express Chahar's respect for His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "The Ministry of Rites has submitted it to me for viewing. King Shunping is very dedicated. The national teacher is also working hard. Stay in the capital for a few more days. I have a lot of things and hope to ask the national teacher for advice."
King Shunping, the title given to Lin Danhan by the Ming Dynasty.
If it was an ordinary emperor, he would definitely think it was a polite word, but Nicklu's heart was beating wildly, and the one in front of him was not an ordinary emperor!
He had in-depth research on the Ming emperor in front of him. This person did not like rules, hated etiquette, and only followed his original intention in everything. He rarely acted "unintentionally". He could often predict his big moves from small things, but no one could notice them in advance.
'Is this going to detain me? The Ming Dynasty was determined to take action against Chahar? No, there was no news at all in the Ming Dynasty. It is still an important juncture for renovating internal affairs. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was not sure, it would not be...'
Nicklu was confused for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, and he couldn't calm down.
Zhu Xu didn't care about Nicklu's expression, looked ahead and said, "Master, can you play my Ming Dynasty Go?"
Nikru looked slightly stunned, and then said, "Your Majesty, Chahar has been in trouble recently. Cattle, sheep, horses, starved to death, and frozen to death. Please allow your Majesty to allow it. Chahar's herders enter the pass to avoid the cold, which can be helpful in food, grass, cloth, etc...."
"No problem, how much do you need? Report it to the cabinet and I will ask them to criticize it." Zhu Xu said extremely directly and decisively.
Nicklu looked at Zhu Xu more and more alert, feeling very worried.
Lin Danhan has been indeed arrogant recently and has repeatedly offended the Ming Dynasty. More and more tribes have been annexed, which seems to have violated the taboos of the Ming Dynasty and aroused fear.
Chahar has recovered slightly in recent years and has not yet unified Mongolia and has the strength to challenge the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty had been entangled in various tribes to attack Chahar, even if Chahar was undefeated, it would be a situation where both sides suffered losses.
Listening to the words of the Ming Dynasty emperor, Nicklu was very uneasy and said calmly, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are not good at playing Go. I don't know what instructions are there for summoning?"
Zhu Xu said: "It's nothing. It's the court's ritual system to summon envoys from various countries. If the national teacher has anything to say to me, he can say it together."
Nikru respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Chahar is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the ministers cannot leave. Today I would like to ask you to allow me to return as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's OK anytime." Zhu Xu said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Sir, please leave." Nicklu looked at Zhu Xu deeply and saluted again.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "The National Master has a smooth journey."
The more polite Zhu Xu was, the more uneasy Nicklu became. He left the carriage respectfully and watched the convoy leave quickly.
"National Master?" A personal soldier next to Nicklu said in confusion.
Nicklu looked solemn and said, "Pack up your things, immediately... wait!"
"What's wrong?" the personal soldier was about to agree, but he said in confusion.
Nicklu looked at the convoy that had already gone away, frowned, and said to himself: "If the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack Chahar, I shouldn't let me go. Moreover, this is not the cunning of the Ming emperor. What is he going to do? Is it a tactic of hard to get? Or just put pressure on me? What is his intention?"
Nicklu's mind became even more confused and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Zhu Xu in the carriage squinted his eyes, looked at the shaking curtains, and his fingers kept hitting his knees.
Nikru's words were completely leaked, which shows that Chahar had a certain degree of strength and could challenge the Ming Dynasty.
You can't wait any longer!
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's tired face and said, "Your Majesty, Jingdong Camp has more than half an hour left. Why don't you take a rest first?"
Zhu Xu was so busy that the sky was dark and there was very little rest time. He glanced at him and said, "I will call Sun Chengzong, Zhao Rujiao, and Man Gui onto the carriage later. I have something to tell them."
"Yes." Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu looked at the pile of books in front of him, glanced at Feng Zhu again, and said, "You can take a look at these along the way, including Zheng He, local chronicles, and biographies of merchants and missionaries who went out to sea. You should use them on the way."
Feng Zhu bowed and said, "Yes, I will definitely see through it and understand it thoroughly."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a break for a while.
From the capital to Tian, Tianjin and Wei, even if they keep working, they will take a day. He needs to keep his energy and take the time to rest.
The carriage walked eastward, and the guards beat the horses, galloping past like a stream of iron, causing a strong wind.
At the same time, Jingdong Camp.
Jin Guoqi, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui and others followed Sun Chengzong, stood on the platform, and quietly watched the soldiers from the square formation pass through from east to west.
Jin Guoqi was the general of the Jingdong Camp. He was stationed here before, but has now been transferred to Tianjin and guarding the capital.
He looked at the square formation passing through and said to Sun Chengzong and everyone: "Sir, in addition to the square formation of more than 10,000 people, there are three thousand artillery soldiers, eight hundred artillery pieces, and three thousand armored cavalry. They are all well-trained. I have practiced it before and will not make any mistakes. Please rest assured."
Except for artillery and armored cavalry, Sun Chengzong had already seen it, looking at the armored cavalry not far away, and said, "Cabinets, artillery must be taken care of, and this great martial arts performance must not make any mistakes!"
Jin Guoqi said: "Yes, the lower officials understand."
Sun Chengzong looked at Cao Wenzhao and others again and said, "You will try harder these days. This martial arts performance must be done properly and meticulously!"
Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Rujiao and others did not dare to be careless and raised their hands and said, "Sir, obey the order."
Sun Chengzong had a lot of things to do, so he took a few more glances and turned around and got off the high platform.
Cao Wenzhao and his group followed him, all of whom were so busy that they didn't touch the ground and needed to step up their training. The great martial arts performance was right in front of him.
Before noon, Zhu Xu's carriage arrived at a post station outside the city. The team changed horses and rested, while waiting for Sun Chengzong and others.
In the carriage, Cao Huachun was the only one who accompanied Zhu Xu. When Zhu Xu woke up, Cao Huachun said: "Emperor, the Silijian has compiled the memorials of the cabinet and the governors, sorted out their ideas and opinions, and how many of them are there to be secretly memorized."
Cao Huachun had a piece of paper in his hand, which was obviously simple and wanted to hand it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu didn't sleep well last night. He was a little sleepy in the warm carriage. He didn't answer and closed his eyes and said, "I won't look anymore. It's all clichés. I'll go back to teach them the class after I've done these things."
Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu had already thought about it. After looking at the brief writing, hesitated and said, "Yes, I understand."
Not long after, Sun Chengzong, Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui came.
"I, please see the emperor." The three of them saluted outside the carriage.
Zhu Xu was in a hurry to go to Tianjin and Wei, looking at Cao Huachun and said, "Can you set off now?"
Cao Huachun bowed quickly and said, "It's OK."
"Come in and accompany me for a while." Zhu Xu said to the outside.
The three of them responded and walked into the carriage from outside.
Immediately, the convoy set off and slowly continued to drive eastward.
Sun Chengzong naturally knew why Zhu Xu was waiting for him here, and said in a pretentious manner, "Emperor, the great martial arts performance is basically ready, and it can start in four days. There are also plans for the people to watch the seats everywhere..."
Zhu Xu patted his knee with his right hand and thought, "Well, I'll leave this to you, and I must do it beautifully. Although the border troubles of my Ming Dynasty are slightly better than those in the Tianqi period, there are many crises and natural disasters and man-made disasters. We still need to be cautious and be impatient and do things in a decent manner."
Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui lowered their heads slightly, saying that they would listen to the Hadith without saying anything.
Sun Chengzong thought seriously about Zhu Xu's words, and saw that there was no actual content, he said in a situation, "Yes. Emperor, regarding the 'military reform', I have basically formulated the number, personnel, new military ranks, military system, and commanders of major battalions..."
