It is said that during the summer solstice, the weather becomes hotter and hotter after the summer solstice.

Because of the hot weather, at the beginning of May, the emperor agreed to the invitation of the Jingyan officials and temporarily skipped the Jingyan feast.

In addition, after the banquet is updated, the spring lecture will be free from February 12th to the second day of May; the autumn lecture will be free from August 12th to October 2nd.

This will always be the rule, so there is no need to ask questions one by one.

In other words, the little emperor is on summer vacation.

Unfortunately, summer vacation is not for fun.

Just because the emperor stopped the Sutra banquet, the number of times the cabinet invited the emperor to go to the Wenhua Hall to listen to government affairs, and the number of ministers who came to Xiyuan to report on their affairs, increased significantly.

For example, today, while Zhu Yijun was still having lunch, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu were already waiting in Chengguang Hall.

Seeing the emperor come in, the two of them quickly saluted: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand to signal the two of them to stand up.

Shi Shiran sat down at the imperial desk and took a breath before speaking: "Yuan Fu and Wang Ge Lao are here in a hurry. What's the important matter?"

The two of them looked at each other, and Zhang Juzheng nodded and signaled Wang Chonggu to go ahead and play.

The latter followed what was good and took a step forward.

After Wang Chonggu entered the cabinet, he was quite high-spirited.

His temperament has calmed down a bit, making him look more mature and steady.

With a smile on his face, he congratulated loudly: "Your Majesty! Great victory!"

Zhu Yijun reacted immediately and asked: "Did Duoyanwei violate the border again? What's the result?"

There is no shortage of surprises in the tone.

Wang Chonggu was not surprised by the emperor's delicate thoughts, so he picked out the important points and reported the matter.

Zhu Yijun listened carefully to Wang Chonggu's words and nodded from time to time.

In early May, Duoyanwei's envoy returned and brought the news back to the tribe.

Although the imperial court awarded Duoyanwei a reward, it was the nominal chieftain Ang who was rewarded.

The current powerful figure in Duoyanwei, Dong Fox, was not awarded.

That's it, the imperial court still rewards him with silver coins.

As for grain, cloth and the like, there was none - if you wanted grain, you had to go out and buy it from the border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Power is power, and Chang Ang used this reason to win over the tribal elders and win people's hearts.

Naturally, Dong Hu would not just sit back and watch.

At this time, Dong Hu took the initiative to move closer to the Ming Dynasty, which might not be a way out.

But he chose another direction - foreign war to divert internal conflicts.

The ancient method has endured for a long time, precisely because its effect is almost like an objective law and has never failed.

The best way for nomads to consolidate their power is naturally to carry out a successful robbery.

Whether it is population, food, or coarse salt.

As long as the robbery is successful, the reputation and status in the tribe will increase.

Internal threats are self-defeating.

It's a pity that Dong Hu's abacus was good, but his luck was not good.

This time when he crossed the border, he happened to meet Qi Jiguang, who was waiting for help and was very alert.

Wang Chonggu was still in high spirits: "Dong Hu led the bandits with more than 4,000 horses, and invaded from Panjiakou, Longjing Pass and other two routes, and happened to bump into Qi Jiguang."

"In this battle, the border troops killed more than 300 enemies and injured the thieves. The Tatar chief defeated Ke Lulanle and gave him the head! Dong Hu fled in panic!"

Panjiakou, Longjingguan?

Zhu Yijun was startled, something beyond his expectation.

How could he remember... Historically, Dong Hu entered the border from Jialing and Taolin.

He had also specifically asked this place to strengthen military preparedness.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun suddenly reacted - he seemed to be desperate for a sword!

We have specially increased our troops, and our scouts are not stupid.

Zhu Yijun touched his nose awkwardly, but luckily no one else knew.

I also secretly reminded myself of this.

Water has no permanent shape, and soldiers have no permanent potential.

I was born in a peaceful era, so I don't know anything about fighting.

Especially when it comes to military matters and historical matters, things may not be done accurately.

Since you don’t understand, it’s better not to do any micro-management, otherwise you will easily become Chang Kaishen.

In addition to trusting veteran generals like Qi Jiguang and giving them support in the temple, we should also rely on the profound accumulation of the country to crush the enemy with great momentum.

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath.

I examine myself three times a day.

Wang Chonggu didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but still reported the details of the battle in a serious manner.

At the end of the sentence, he began to ask for credit: "The cabinet and the Ministry of War believe that those who gave full instructions in this battle, those who broke the enemy's charge, those who worked with colleagues, and those who supported from afar should all be discussed."

"Prime Minister Qi Jiguang is especially recommended, and Xu Xuegu is the chief contributor to military preparation."

If you win a battle regardless of merit or reward, you will have no fighting power.

As for the verification and review, it will naturally be done by the Ministry of War and the Censor.

Zhu Yijun naturally had no reason to disagree and readily agreed: "Yes!"

Of course, Wang Chonggu did not come here just for such trivial matters as asking for credit.

He paused and then said: "Your Majesty, after this battle, it has quite an impact."

"I heard that Chang Ang is now under house arrest by Dong Hu."

"And the leader of the Duoyan Guards, the Yi chieftain Uluru Sihan, and the Yi woman Boyan Lord Lai Xuanyu returned the Ming Dynasty captives, and tied up two members of the evil tribe Boyan Aduchi as tribute, and begged for forgiveness.

Tribute reward."

"The Ministry of War thinks that the matter is between two ends and asks His Majesty to judge it."

This was the effect of the first battle, and chaos arose within Duoyanwei.

Dong Huxu had to use fierce methods to suppress Chang Ang.

The other leaders also had strange thoughts.

After that, Wang Chonggu explained Uluru Sihan to the emperor.

Uluru Sihan is one of the lords of Duoyanwei, the younger brother of Dong Fox, and the uncle of Changang. He does not listen to the instructions of the tribal leader.

But this one is always a piece of cake.

During the Jiajing period, they repeatedly raided the border, but if other troops invaded the border, this troops would inform the border generals.

During the Longqing period, the imperial court tried to grant rewards, but Uluru Sihan often accepted the rewards with one foot in front and continued to plunder with the other.

Now I just see that the situation is not good, and I have started to ride on the wall again.

The bound Boyan Aduchi was naturally an enemy chief whose hands were stained with the blood of Ming Dynasty generals.

Zhu Yijun nodded thoughtfully.

He had heard about the Uluru Sihan tribe.

Historically, in the second year of Wanli, that is, next year, Dong Fox once again plundered Xifengkou, and Uluru Sihan obeyed the court's order and stopped it.

In the third year, Chang'ang invaded the border and asked to borrow troops. Uluru Sihan also sternly refused and informed the court.

Later, Chang'ang was defeated, and he took Chang'ang to the border to plead guilty.

Of course, as the Ming Dynasty gradually weakened, this group immediately defected.

He often assisted Changang and plundered Liaodong and other places.

In short, he is just a wild dog that is not well-fed, fearful of power and not ethical.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and then said: "Boyan Abdul Chi's owl's head is just for showing to the public. As for tributes and rewards..."

"If we can promote mutual trade, I will not hesitate to reward you."

Prostitution for free? What a beautiful thought!

In the past, the imperial court was unwilling to fight, but now Zhu Yijun doesn't mind this kind of small-scale war with small tribes - without continuous bloodletting, how can we do business well? How can we naturalize with peace of mind?

Want to get a reward? Then really make some achievements!
