Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 583: Breaking with Ligdan Khan

As soon as Sun Chengzong heard it, he knew what Zhu Youxiao was going to do, but he also knew that this was indeed more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to me."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Sun Chengzong. You know, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all very talented in this area. How many years had our ancestors been playing with these things? They were completely familiar with them, but they just couldn't play them when they didn't have the strength.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has such strength, it is easy for them to play such tricks. However, Zhu Youxiao did not expect Sun Chengzong to take the initiative to take over this business.

After all, this matter is not so easy to handle. If there is any negligence, it will be easy for others to catch it, not to mention that even if things are done well, it may also cause criticism.

This was a thankless task for many officials, especially high-ranking officials.

You have to know that these ministers who have served for many years have reached high positions and are about to become lazy. They strive to be faultless and not seek merit. In such a situation, they are unwilling to take risks.

Zhu Youxiao was actually preparing to replace a group of veteran officials. Compared with these veteran officials, the newcomers were younger, more energetic, and more motivated.

For example, Zhu Youxiao was going to replace the Minister of War with Xiong Tingbi. He would take Xiong Tingbi with him on this trip. After arriving in the capital, he would be the Minister of War, and I believe there would be many new developments.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty will have more foreign wars in the future, so he must further strengthen his control over the Ministry of War.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was about to usher in military reforms, and it also needed a courageous and responsible person to preside over it. Xiong Tingbi was a more suitable person.

Zhu Youxiao really didn't expect that Sun Chengzong was willing to accept this matter at this time.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong, smiled, nodded, and said, "If Master Sun is willing to take over, that would be the best thing to do. This way, I can also take a break."

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured in leaving the matter to me," Sun Chengzong said quickly.

Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then Master Sun, go and do it."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao walked back with his hands behind his back, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Now I just need to wait quietly. No, there is one more thing to do, that is to meet the famous Hai Lanzhu.

After Sun Chengzong left Zhu Youxiao's residence, he went straight back to his residence and ordered someone to find Hasar.

For people like Hasar, Sun Chengzong only needed to say a word if he wanted to see them.

Hasar had never thought that Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty would come to see him in person. This teacher of the Ming Dynasty emperor held a very important position in the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the news, Hasar immediately came to Sun Chengzong's mansion with generous gifts.

For the Ordos people, the past two years have been very good, and they have made a lot of money. Although their tribe is small, they have good pastures and produce good cashmere, and they have made a lot of money from selling wool in the past two years.

Under such circumstances, Ordos was already very eye-catching. If it were not for the Ming Dynasty and Huang Taiji, it might have been swallowed up.

On the grasslands, good pastures and livestock are treasures. Ordos is like a piece of fat meat, dangling from everyone's lips, and no one wants to take a bite. Whether it's Khorchin, Inner Khalkha, or even Ligdan Khan, this is true. Under such circumstances, Ordos is not easy to think about.

This time Huang Taiji was finished, and the Ming Dynasty would have the final say in this land. And everyone could see how friendly the Ming emperor was to Khorchin. This time, he not only wanted to marry Wu Keshan's sister, but even married two of them at once.

As a result, life in Ordos will probably become difficult.

If Khorchin and Inner Khalkha fought, the first to be killed would definitely be these small tribes.

Before fighting, Khorchin and Inner Khalkha would first swallow up the surrounding small tribes, one to strengthen their strength, and the other to prevent them from defecting to each other; more importantly, it could also prevent the small tribes from becoming bigger when they were both defeated.

This time, the most nervous tribes are the Ordos tribe. Based on this situation, the Ordos tribe proposed the concept of a small tribal alliance.

Everyone united together to resist those large tribes. They had an equal relationship with each other, helped each other, supported each other, and acted together when fighting.

Sure enough, in the face of external threats, all the small tribes agreed to the alliance and were very enthusiastic.

But Hasar knew this was only superficial. Once the war broke out, there was no telling whether they would be stabbed in the back. Such an alliance was too loose and had little practical significance. By the time the larger tribes could be persuaded to surrender, they might surrender.

However, Khasar knew that the Ming Dynasty would probably intervene in the matter of the small tribal alliance. As long as they had the support of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no big problem.

How did Hasar know?

Do you think the struggle between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty over the past two hundred years was just a joke?

For more than two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been in and out of each other, fighting and struggling. Aren’t these Mongolians no different?

The Mongols had long been accustomed to the Ming Dynasty's divide and rule, sowing discord, and forming alliances.

The Ming Dynasty supported Khorchin and Inner Khalkha and allowed them to annex the Three Guards of Doyan. The principle was the same. However, the Mongolian tribes were not willing to submit to each other. There was not only estrangement but also hatred between them. It was impossible for them to unite.
