When they arrived, all that was left was the rolled head and a pile of bones.
The scene was horrible, even though he has fought in the battlefield for many years, he still can't let go of it for a long time.
The Tatars never brought food and grass with them when they fought. Wherever they went, where they killed, where they ate...
Zhu Neng took a deep breath and was speechless.
"According to what you said, the northern border is now in a desperate situation. What good countermeasures can the emperor have?"
Zhu Di was lost and worried again.
It's all his fault, he knows that Qiu Fu is not good enough to be reused, so he shouldn't have sent him to lead the army.
Now not only the [-] elites of the Ming Dynasty have been buried, but also more than [-] people in the northern border have been killed.
"It's actually very simple, negotiate a peace."
"Reconciliation?"
Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other, not knowing why.
"Now that the Tatars are proud of themselves, and they know that our reinforcements will not arrive so soon, why are they willing to negotiate a peace?"
"Of course they don't want it, not only they don't want it, they might even kill the peace envoy."
"But there is still a peace negotiation, not only a peace negotiation, but also a large number of gifts, such as gold and silver jewellery, silk and satin, pigs, sheep and grass. The more you give, the better, keep giving."
As Lu Lin said, there was a gleam in his eyes.
His face was gloomy, not a hippie smile.
The three of Zhu Di didn't understand why.
Since the other party is unwilling to negotiate a peace, why do they want to humiliate themselves, why do they still send people to die, and why do they still have to give them gifts?
"Negotiating peace is not the purpose, but to delay time."
"I just said that it takes half a month to transfer troops from Beiping. As long as the reinforcements from Beiping arrive, the Tatars will have no chance to go south from the broken city."
Beiping is Zhu Di's hometown, and the army there is all the elite of Ming Dynasty.
The number is not large, but it is enough to defend the city.
Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly jumped up against the case.
Clever plan, really clever plan!
Why did the Tatars repeatedly invade Ming Dynasty?Could it be that they want to destroy the Ming Dynasty?
No, they don't have this strength at all.
This point, they themselves know better than anyone else.
All they want is money and food.
Then I just give them as much as I want, what I get for nothing is better than the incense they get when they go into battle with guns and bleed their blood?
At the same time as giving money and food, I will send envoys to negotiate a peace and tell them that as long as they are willing to retreat, Ming will give them whatever they want.
With their greed, I must think that I am afraid of them, and I will use this as a threat to ask for more benefits.
If I continue to quarrel with them, the reinforcements from Peiping will arrive after one or two rounds.
In this way, they will be hopeless.
The people in the northern border and the surrounding cities can all be saved from a catastrophe.
It's just a loss of some money and food, I will ask them to get it back sooner or later.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Lin was startled by Zhu Di's reaction, and looked at him stupidly.
Zhu Di quickly coughed twice to cover up his gaffe.
"Oh, Dad didn't expect that after seeing you for a few years, you would become so proficient in scheming."
Lu Lin's mouth twitched.
"What do you mean not seeing each other for several years? We haven't seen each other since I was born, okay?"
"If you came back to pick me up a few years later, I would have thought my father was dead."
Zhu Di: ...
Yao Guangxiao: ...
child!
Your father is really dead!
Zhu Di stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"It was my father who was wrong in the past, don't worry, when my father finishes his work, he will take you home and let you recognize your ancestors."
Yao Guangxiao:? ? ?
me!
Your Majesty is serious?
He is the king of a country, isn't his home the palace?Isn't his ancestor the old Zhu's family?
Why, he really wants to write Lu Lin into the Zhu family tree and make Lu Lin the prince?
Yao Guangxiao was shocked.
But then he was relieved. Lu Lin's plan today saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in the northern border. This is the country's major plan.
Before that, sweet potatoes were offered to save the people in the south from the fire and water. This is a major plan for the people's livelihood.
He even saved His Majesty's life today.
With such great achievements, he deserves the title of prince.
