"Second brother, the messenger of the Duoyan tribe has been waiting for a few days. Have you taken the time to meet him?" Seeing the third father-in-law sweating profusely but enjoying it, Xie Hong was too lazy to sympathize with him. He stood in front of the wind and talked about the serious matter to Zhengde.

"Duoyan Sanwei? Didn't they just come once at the beginning of the year? Why did they come again this time?" Zhengde picked up a kitchen knife, held a few sword flowers in his hand, then turned his head and asked with some confusion.

"Last time, I was the messenger of the three guards of Duoyan. This time I came to Duoyan's commander. It's different... I said, "Second brother, you don't cook, so why do you always stay in the kitchen to make? Also, the kitchen knife is a vegetable cutter, not used to juggle. It's very dangerous for you to throw it around like this. What if you hit someone?"

Seeing the kitchen knife flying up and down in Zhengde's hand, a bright shadow was sprinkled, but it didn't fall on the cutting board. Xie Hong was a little dizzy, but there were a group of supporters around him. Although the third father-in-law who was the best at flattering could not make his hands free, the two women with the most noble status in Daming clapped and cheered next to him. With those who were supporting him, Zhengde became even more excited.

"Oh, it's your new father-in-law, brother?"

Zhengde's attention finally changed. He put down the kitchen knife and said to Xie Hong with a teasing look on his face: "Brother, don't you think that having a father-in-law at home is too intrusive, so you want me to send him off sooner, right? You're fake public and private."

"...Second brother, you're bored." Looking at Zhengde's face as a tabloid reporter, Xie Hong's eyes twitched twice. After finally getting up, Xie Hong reminded directly: "This time Commander Hua came here specially to cooperate with the Northern Expedition. You think he was just to see his daughter."

"Beizheng, I can't go, it's boring..." Zhengde quickly fell down and pulled out a kitchen knife from the cutting board, chopping the cutting board like he was venting, making a bang and a sound.

Xie Hong comforted: "Last year, the Tartars were broken. There shouldn't be any major battle this time. It's also boring if you go there. It's better to open a good shop in the capital."

"Anyway, I can't tell you every time, so I'll meet you." Zhengde sighed listlessly, threw down the kitchen knife and said loudly, "San'er, stop, I'll leave the store to you. I'll go back to the leopard room."

"…I obey the order." The third father-in-law, who was about to be exhausted, was finally relieved.

After taking the imperial concubine, Zhengde spent more time in the Qianqing Palace than before, but the leopard house was not abandoned. It was very literary, even if the emperor no longer insisted on training troops, it was still a holy place for competitive sports and the headquarters of the Military Academy. Zhengde often came, but he just no longer regarded this place as a bedroom.

The place where we met Huadang was still the hall of the Military Academy. Since the envoys of Ryukyu, Zhengde has fallen in love with the feeling of meeting foreign envoys here.

This hall is still the same, with a large sand table several meters in radius in the middle, which simulates the smaller ones next to the overall territory of the Ming Dynasty, with various maps hanging on the walls, which is very atmosphere of a military headquarters.

Huadang had been to the capital for some time and had inquiries from many sources. He had some ideas about Zhengde and the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after entering the hall, he was also shocked, but soon calmed down.

"I am the one who is Hua Dang, please see Your Majesty." It is very convenient for Duoyan's three guards to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, because there are old rules to follow. Hua Dang was originally a smart man and had been dealing with Xie Hong for so long. He had already realized that when he paid homage to Zhengde, he did not drag on it and directly treated the courtesy of his subordinates.

In addition to self-responsibility, Hua Dang also put a lot of thought into his outfit. What he is wearing is not a fur-like shepherd's outfit, but a robe worn by officials above the fourth rank, a tiger, and a belt with a golden lychee on his waist. On a very clear surface, he completely regarded himself as a military officer of the Ming Dynasty.

"Get up." Zhengde waved his hand casually and walked to the sand table. He didn't pay much attention to these details, and focused on the northern expedition. Although he could not take power in charge, he could also have a lot of fun in strategizing and winning a thousand miles.

"Thank you for your hard work in Hua Tongzhi's journey. The Northern Barbarians have always been disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty. They violated the border at the time and caused great disasters. Last year, they colluded with the scum of the court and harmed tens of thousands of soldiers in Xuanzhen. The crime is unforgivable! Now, I want to raise troops to fight in the north and destroy this court food in one fell swoop, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can enjoy peace. Hua Tongzhi's long-term presence is on the border. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Return to Your Majesty" Hua Ding was also worried. It is said that people in the Central Plains like to hide half of the time and say half of the time. The higher the identity, the more this happens. But the two people he met have higher status than the other, but their style is more direct than the other. Beilu... Speaking of which, he seems to be one of them.

"Your Majesty's divine martial arts are the power, and the power is not under Taizu Taizong. The battle of Yingzhou shocked the world. The Tatars and Ola were all scared. If Your Majesty fights north, the enemy will be frightened by Your Majesty's divine power and escape with a look at the wind. The desert is vast and it is difficult for the local area to obtain supplies. There are many difficult and dangerous routes to transport from the rear, and I may be in trouble but have no results..."

Huadang walked to the sand table and was amazed at the magical skills of the sand table, while answering carefully. When he was working hard but failed, his speech became slower. He did not dare to look up and stare at Zhengde, but his eyes kept sweeping around Xie Hong's face, hoping to get some tips to avoid saying the wrong words.

"Hua Tongzhi, what the emperor asked you about, just say it directly, what are you doing when you keep staring at me?" Xie Hong said expressionlessly.

"Yes, it's the last general's..." Hua Dang cursed in his heart. Don't the people of the Central Plains pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness? At least he gave you a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower to you. Why can't you turn your elbows slightly? You were so nervous in advance that you looked like a saint and then you had this dead face. Could it be that you fell into a trap again?

"So, are you against the Northern Expedition?" Zhengde asked.

"I dare not, I dare not." Hearing Zhengde's tone, Hua Ding was also awesome. He gritted his teeth and made a heart-to-heart, and said: "The so-called superior troops attacked and plotted against each other, and it is difficult to achieve success in the battle. It is better to join forces with the alliance and provoke the relationship between the Tatars and the Oirat, as well as the Tatar tribes, so that they can kill each other and weaken themselves."

"The ancients were wise, but that's not bad." Zhengde nodded.

After receiving praise, Huadang will be greatly encouraged, and immediately cheer up and guided the country.

"…After the prince's death, Wusu's strength was preserved relatively well, and he was able to confront the fire sieve. He was temporarily in the position of Khan. However, he was the first to escape in Yingzhou and was criticized. Moreover, his strength was only slightly higher than that of other tribes, and his power was very unstable. If there is any inappropriateness, he would be attacked. The ministers thought that there was a great opportunity to get things done in the meantime."

He had also deliberately inquired about the situation on the grassland. He was also a Mongolian tribe, but it was not difficult to get news when the grassland was in chaos. The strategy he offered was also the best strategy he had come up with to work hard. For this reason, he read a lot of military books and asked many famous scholars for advice after arriving in the capital, and was very sure.

"I was confused before, and because of my origin, I had some connection with the Tatar tribe. However, if Your Majesty allows me, I am willing to make meritorious contributions and contact the tribes to take things from it. Your Majesty can achieve the full contribution without any effort!" After analyzing the situation, he volunteered and volunteered, a brave, resourceful and responsible general.

"Provoke civil strife of the Tartars, observe that they are defeated, and do not understand how to solve the border troubles with one soldier? This sounds familiar. Hua Tongzhi, are you sure this is the solution you came up with yourself?" Zhengde asked with a smile.

"Ah?" Hua Dang was stunned. When he offered advice, the emperor asked if it was original? What kind of routine is this? Although he did ask some people, the overall idea was that he had come up with.

"I ask you, what do you think will be the result of the Tatar tribes killing each other? As they kill, the Tatar tribe disappeared on their own? Or will the more they kill, the stronger the overall strength, and finally a little prince stood out?" Zhengde asked again.

"This" has touched the edge of Zhengde's thoughts. However, although he was a little anxious, he could not find a word to deal with it in such a short time.

Just as he was speechless, Zhengde sneered again: "It is not appropriate to deal with military and national affairs, but it is not appropriate to have courage but only use strategy, but it is even more absurd. He does not attack it with swords and weapons, but only to provoke civil strife. The wars on the grassland are mainly conquered, and the killing is not heavy. The so-called strange strategy is just a missed opportunity to give the enemy a chance to integrate. Hehe, the views of corrupt scholars."

"I am worried about the poor things, but I am sincere and have no intention of illegitimate intentions. Please pay attention to me." Hua Dang was surprised and was filled with cold sweat. The summer was still scorching outside, but he was like an ice cellar.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say how to do you, get up, don't lie on the ground, so I have to lower my head and talk to you, it's very difficult." Zhengde said indifferently: "Since you don't have a good idea, let's listen to me. I have discussed with Lord Xie to solve the problem of the Northern Territory once and for all. Hua Tongzhi will also come and study it."

"The minister follows the order." Hua Dang's heart fell back into his stomach. He was very jealous of both the king and the minister. He had already made a decision, so why didn't he say it earlier? He tried so much effort but was not yet lost. The son-in-law was indeed an outsider and was far from caring as his son.

"There are three ways to completely solve the threat of the Northern Barbarians." Before the idea was completed, the young emperor stretched out his right hand and raised three fingers. Huadang felt that his mind was in chaos again. What is true? For the people of the grassland, the people of the grassland are a big problem. No one can solve it for two thousand years. Now so many strategies have emerged?
