"On the eighth day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji was accused of"assisting the Southern Dynasty's troops in invading our country"."、"Harboring Mao Wenlong"、"Recruit me to escape and steal my place"、"The former Khan passed away... and no one came to offer condolences." The Later Jin Dynasty sent troops to Goryeo on four charges, and thus seized the land west of the Taedong River."

"On December 2, the 9th year of Chongzhen in the Former Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji led 100,000 troops to personally attack Goryeo. On January 30 of the following year, the Goryeo monarch and his ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty."

"From then on, Goryeo abandoned its Ming dynasty name, paid the imperial edict and seal granted by the Ming dynasty, followed the Later Jin dynasty, made regular tributes, and sent two hostages."

"Just a few days ago, Goryeo raised an army of 200,000 and crossed the Taedong River. The army had already reached the Yalu River.~~"

With his hands behind his back, Jia Xuan stood up straight, looking to the east, and said.

What?

Hearing this, everyone present was angry.

"How dare little Gao Li'an bully my great Jing like this?"

"How outrageous! How outrageous!"

"..........."

Niu Jizong and others were filled with righteous indignation.

Dajing was named as the successor of the former Ming Dynasty, but in reality it was the successor of the Han people, but it did not mean that it would continue the weakness of the former Ming Dynasty.���Yes.

Especially since the troops of the imperial court had just destroyed the Later Jin, the land of the Later Jin should belong to Dajing. Goryeo took advantage of the fact that they had no time to manage Liaodong and brazenly mobilized troops to seize the west of the Taedong River and even pushed the troops to the Yalu River. This was intolerable.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the"Imperial Ming Ancestor Instructions" and listed 15 countries that should not be conquered, citing the reason that"the barbarians in all directions are all separated by mountains and seas, and are isolated in a corner; their land is not enough to provide for them, and their people are not enough to command them.""

"Most of these countries have continued to exist to this day: Korea, Wa, Ryukyu, Annan, Zhenla, Siam, Champa, Sumatra, Xiyang, Java, Penhang, Baihua, Srivijaya, and Brunei."

"The population at its peak during the Ming Dynasty was 10,621,436 households and 60,692,856 people in the sixth year of the Wanli reign."

"In the fourth year of Yongping, the population of the imperial court was about 20 million households and 126 million people."

"I would like to ask you, with twice the population, can they survive relying only on the two capitals and thirteen provinces?"

Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan told a most common but most realistic data.

"........."

Niu Jizong and the others who had calmed down were all stunned.

Yes, the population of the Guochao Dynasty is already twice that of the heyday of the former Ming Dynasty, but it still controls the two capitals and thirteen provinces. If it weren't for the great victory in Liaodong this time, I'm afraid the area controlled by the Guochao Dynasty would not be as large as the late Ming Dynasty.

Why has no one mentioned this matter? And until now, when Jia Xuan brought it up, everyone realized how serious it was. With so many people crowded in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, it is a miracle that there has not been a large-scale famine in the Guochao Dynasty until now!

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites is ready to receive the Goryeo envoys and return the land west of the Taedong River to Goryeo."

"What a great word! Our Liaodong army and people fought bloody battles for decades and finally destroyed the Later Jin."

"Now someone has easily taken away the land that belongs to us. Do you think it is appropriate?"

"How dare the Ministry of Rites?"

Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Feng Tang, Yue Zhongqi, and Nian Gengyao were all furious, full of murderous intent.

In order to destroy the Later Jin, the country had suffered more than 200,000 casualties in this battle alone, not to mention the previous ones.

If anyone dared to treat their hard work as nothing, they would dare to draw their swords and fight to the death, which would be a tarnish to the dignity of the dead officers and soldiers of Dajing.

"Within a year, I want to see a 200,000-man army in Liaodong."

"Everyone must have the strength comparable to that of a third-grade warrior."

"One Goryeo is not enough to produce two dukes, so what if we add another Japan?"

""Jinzhou Earl, Liaoyang Earl, do you have confidence?"

Staring at Feng Tang and Nian Gengyao, Jia Xuan asked

"Please rest assured, Duke. For the sake of the country, we will sacrifice our lives at all costs."

Feng Tang and Nian Gengyao's resounding words echoed in the East Courtyard.

"Good!"

Jia Xuan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the others and said solemnly:"In the battle of Datong, more than half of the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry were lost."

"If that rubbish Borjigit Tsereng can still hold the position of Khalkha Taiji, I will take off all my clothes and swim around the vast sea."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone present laughed out loud.

To put it bluntly, the Khalkha Mongols in the north of the desert are divided into three tribes: the Chechen Khanate in the east, the Tushetu Khanate in the middle, and the Zasaktu Khanate in the west.

When Xuanye, the fourth Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, was in power, the family of Danlu, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, joined the Jurchens. Borjigit Tsereng was betrothed to the tenth daughter of the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, and was granted the title of Heshuo Efu and Beizi. He was ordered to return to the old land of Tamir, defeat the invading Junggar soldiers, and was named the Later Zasak.

With the help of the Later Jin Dynasty, With the help of the Khan, Borjigit Tsereng defeated the invading Junggar army many times, and was promoted to Prince Heshuo, granted the title of Khalkha Grand Zasak, and granted the title of Gulun Efu. 19 banners were given to him from the Tushetu Khanate, collectively known as the Saiyin Noyan Tribe.

It can be said that these 100,000 Mongolian cavalry were the entire strength of the Saiyin Noyan Tribe, and there were less than 50,000 cavalry left. It was lucky that the Chechen Khanate, Tushetu Khanate, and Zasaktu Khanate did not kill him, the Khalkha Taiji appointed by the Later Jin Dynasty.

"In the short term, the Khalkha tribe in the northern desert had no mood to move south, and the Eros people were still wandering on the edge of the vast sea. They didn't want to lose their homeland."

"The Chahar Mongols in the south of the desert are the weakest Mongolian forces at present. Whether it is the Hoqit tribe, the Ujumchin tribe, the Sunite tribe, the Keshiketeng tribe, or the Dorote tribe, every one of them is just a supporting role."

"This time Khalkha went south, all these useless people were involved. When I have time, I will clean them up."

"It should be noted that Chahar Taiji Borjigin Burni, as the grandson of Ligdan Khan, had integrated the Urad, Tumed, Dalat, and Otog tribes, re-established his Chahar left and right wing six banners, and controlled the outer Hetao and Yinshan areas."

"According to the information sent by the spies, Borjigin Burni had more than 500,000 troops under his command, including more than 150,000 Mongolian cavalry."

"Ningxia Town, Yulin Town, and Guyuan Town will all face considerable pressure."

Jia Xuan then continued to point out on the map.

Suddenly, everyone present became serious again.

After all, the rise of Borjigin Burni had a lot to do with them, mainly because of the fall of the Later Jin.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the last Mongolian Khan, Lin Danhan, was defeated by Huang Taiji, and the Chahar tribes surrendered to the Later Jin. Lin Danhan died in Gansu Dacaotan on his way to Qinghai, and his son Ezhe became the Khan of the Chahar tribe.

Later, Huang Taiji sent troops to expedition the remaining Chahar tribes, and Ezhe surrendered and was named Chahar by Huang Taiji. Prince, and married his second daughter, Princess Gulun Wenzhuang, Makata, to him. After Ezhe died, his brother Abunai inherited the title. Borjigin Burni was Abunai's eldest son.

Before that, the Later Jin had always tightly controlled the Khorchin Mongols in the east of the desert and the Chahar Mongols in the south of the desert, and almost imprisoned Borjigin Burni until recently, when he was released to return to the grassland to support the Later Jin's attack on the Liaoxi Corridor.

Who knew that the Later Jin suddenly collapsed, and Borjigin Burni used the Later Jin's troops to integrate the remaining forces of Chahar

"The Western Oirat tribes were the most powerful forces in Mongolia. They had firmly occupied the northwest and posed a threat to the Qing dynasty."

"The Khoshut tribe, which was nomadic in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, was squeezed out by the Dzungar tribe and moved south into the snowy plateau. They established the Khoshut Khanate and once controlled the Qinghai-Tibet region with a population of about 400,000."

"The Torghut tribe crossed the Kazakh steppe, crossed the Ural River, came to the lower reaches of the Volga River and the shores of the Caspian Sea, and established the Torghut Khanate, which is currently one of the direct threats to Eros."

"The Durbet tribe lived in the Khovd area and numbered about 300,000 people."

"The Junggar tribe controlled the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and established a huge nomadic empire in the vast area from Lake Balkhash in the west to the Altai Mountains in the north, Turpan in the east, and the Chuihe and Talas rivers in the southwest."

"With a population of 800,000, the country created a written language, established the Oirat Code, and developed agricultural planting and handicraft manufacturing."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the biggest enemy the country faces in the northwest."

Speaking of this, Jia Xuan looked at Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang with a serious face.

·· ········Request flowers· ··

"Understood"

·· ········Request flowers· ··

Niu Jizong and the other two spoke at the same time.

At present, Niu Jizong is the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Hou Xiaokang and Liu Fang are the left and right admirals of the Beijing Camp respectively. They are very important figures among the military commanders of Dajing. Once the war in the northwest breaks out, the three of them will bear the brunt.

"The founding lineage was called the Four Kings, Eight Dukes, and Twelve Marquises, but in fact it was not a whole"

"Among the four princes, only the Nan'an Prince's Mansion and the Xining Prince's Mansion still controlled the real power, stationed in Hexi and Yunnan respectively."

"The Mu family of the Prince of Dongping inherited the Mu family of the former Ming Dynasty, and the Shui family of the Prince of Beijing inherited the Longwu Emperor."

"Then came the Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises. Baoling Marquisate was an exception and had almost been expelled."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquises controlled the nine borders, Hexi and Yunnan respectively, which were the inherent spheres of influence."

"The four marquises of the Yuan Dynasty inherited the throne from Zheng Chenggong, Wu Sangui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and their followers, and their power was mostly in the southeast."

"Therefore, the Southeast Navy was divided into the Jinling Navy, the Fujian Navy and the Guangdong-Guangxi Navy. The admirals of the latter two navies were from the Shi family of the Xuanyi Marquis' Mansion and the Zu family of the Zhaoyi Marquis' Mansion respectively."

Among those present, only Yue Zhongqi and Nian Gengyao didn't know what to say. The others were from the founding lineage and naturally knew these secrets.

Nian Gengyao, who was the most perceptive to the court, immediately thought of the key and blurted out:"Duke, what about us?"

.. 0 0

.. 0 0

"Hahahaha!"

Jia Xuan, Niu Jizong and others looked at each other and laughed.

This scene aroused Nian Gengyao's doubts.

"Uncle Niu"

"You should explain it to them."

Raising his hand, Jia Xuan seemed a little tired of talking, and drank the tea in the cup in big gulps.

Niu Jizong stood up and smiled:"It's actually not as complicated as you think. Although most of the nine frontiers are from the founding lineage"

"But over the years, the Emperor had already managed to keep everything in place. It can be said that the entry of the Yuan Cong lineage into the Nine Frontiers was also at the behest of the Emperor."

"The abolition of Liaodong Town was not the only thing, but the country could not continue to maintain the nine frontiers, which was a considerable expense."

"Therefore, the establishment of Liaodong Governor and Liaonan Governor was also an attempt."

""I see!"

Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi both realized it.

To put it bluntly, the royal family wanted the Nine Frontiers to bear their own expenses and then resist foreign enemies..........

Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was a red glow.

"Grandpa"

"The food and wine are ready."

Nan Qiao saw that Jia Xuan had almost finished talking, so she stepped beside him and said softly,

"good"

"That's it for now, everyone try my meal."

With a slight smile, Jia Xuan greeted everyone.

""Yes."

Niu Jizong and others did not have any big requirements for the food. They were born in the military and just wanted to be full.

On the contrary, today's conversation gave them a full grasp of the situation around the entire Guochao.

In other words, they followed Jia Xuan's footsteps. If they wanted to be promoted, they had to expand their territory.

In the past, there was no leader in the Guochao army. The Yuancong and the Kaiguo lineages were pulling each other down, but now, the Yuancong lineage would not dare to do so even if they had a hundred courage. The Kaiguo lineage had risen up with Duke Qin Jia Xuan, which was an unprecedented opportunity.

There was no one who did not want to cling to Jia Xuan's big thick leg and embark on a bright future.

In the main hall, the maids had already taken out the food and placed it on the table one by one. They were all hard dishes.

Big plate chicken, braised beef, braised pork elbow, roasted whole lamb, and some fresh game, such as wild boar meat, bear paws, etc.

"Eat!!!"

Jia Xuan was the most impolite, he started eating with relish.

Seeing this, Niu Jizong and others didn't care about etiquette, they acted rough, they didn't look like nobles, they looked like reckless men, they ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls, they were all eighth-rank warriors, they all had big appetites.

The maids around them had to serve the dishes several times, otherwise, there would not be enough to eat. Ding Ding.
