Chapter 797 Preparations for Ming
Wang Hai told Tana that the harvest from the land reclamation this year was only average, slightly better than last year, and it was winter now. The people over there not only had no harvest, but also needed food from the tribe to feed them. If it were in the past, they definitely could not afford it. Feeding tens of thousands of people is not a small number. However, now that the trade with the Ming Dynasty is progressing smoothly, and Zhu Shenzhu is familiar with the situation on the grassland, he specifically asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help the Tengger tribe. Otherwise, most of these people would probably starve to death after a winter.

However, Wang Hai also said that although the harvest last year was not very good, it was because the time was too short. Even if the Ming people settled there wanted to farm, they had to do it step by step, and it was impossible to get output immediately. But the situation next year will definitely be much better than this year. After all, many wastelands have been reclaimed, and when spring comes, they can be planted. In this way, if there are no accidents in the autumn of next year, not only can the needs of so many people be met, but also a lot of food can be harvested for the tribe.

"He has some conscience and hasn't forgotten us, mother and son." When Tana heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs helped and that the Ming Dynasty had shipped a lot of grain over, a smile appeared on her face and she said this softly.

"My lady, I am always concerned about you and the two young masters. Didn't I send someone to bring a letter some time ago, asking you and the two young masters to make preparations. I will let you and the two young masters go to Ming Dynasty to reunite next year." Wang Hai said with a smile.

"Humph, he didn't ask me and Tenger to meet him. He was clearly planning how he could become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Tana said unhappily. How could she not know Zhu Shenzhui's thoughts after being married for many years? Her husband was indeed not a simple man. She had a good vision back then. If she hadn't pestered Abu and insisted on marrying Zhu Shenzhui, how could the Tenger tribe be what it is today? It would be even more impossible for Tumed to be so prosperous now.

All this is thanks to Zhu Shenzhui. Moreover, Zhu Shenzhui was just an ordinary member of the royal family and a businessman at that time, and he did not have many people under him, but he still created such a miracle. At present, her husband is already the regent who controls the Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, he was promoted from a county prince to a prince, and he has the title of King of Wu. If there is no accident, Zhu Shenzhui will take the last step in a year at most, and then he will ascend to the throne and become the most honorable emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the world.

Although she was proud, she was even more proud of having such a husband. As a Mongolian woman, especially a woman like Tana, she was naturally happy that her husband was a great hero. But she was also disappointed. Since Zhu Shenzhui returned to Ming Dynasty, Tana had never seen her husband again. Although she knew that Zhu Shenzhui's current status was different and he could not travel freely between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia as before, as time went by, she missed her husband more and more, and at the same time she was a little dissatisfied.

However, she never lost contact with her husband, and from time to time Zhu Shenzhu would write to Tana, expressing her feelings to each other in the letters. But as a woman, Tana was still in a low mood, and fortunately she heard that Xu Jingqiu had not come to Beijing, which made Tana, who was far away in the grassland, feel a little more balanced.

Wang Hai just mentioned that Zhu Shencui asked Tana and Tengger to go to Ming Dynasty. This is true. This is what he said in a letter not long ago. But Tana is not an ordinary woman. She knows very well the real purpose of Zhu Shencui's arrangement. On the one hand, he misses himself and his children and wants them to go to Ming Dynasty to reunite and stay together for some time. On the other hand, it is the placement decision of Tengger or Tumed. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, even if Tumed is controlled by his wife and children, Zhu Shencui must make some choices for the long-term stability of Ming Dynasty.

Apart from these, Tana also thought of one thing, that is, when she went to the Ming Dynasty, it would probably be the day when Zhu Shenzhui ascended the throne and became the emperor? Letting her and her children go not only allowed the world to see the Mongolian tribes' submission to the Ming Dynasty and reflected the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, she had something in her hand, which was also what Zhu Shenzhui needed.

This thing is none other than the imperial seal obtained from the widow of Ligdan Khan. After it was obtained, it has been kept in Guihua City and kept by Tana.

If Tana and Tenger presented the imperial seal in the name of Mongolia's Alia and Jurhan on the day Zhu Shenzhu ascended the throne, the effect would be incomparable to any other means. You know what the imperial seal means? It means destiny! When the Yuan Dynasty fled north, the seal was lost on the grassland. Since Zhu Yuanzhang, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty wanted to get the seal back, but they could never do it. The seal has always been in the hands of the Mongolian Khan. If it weren't for the death of Lin Dan Khan and the internal struggle between his sons and his wife, this thing would not have reached Tana's hands.

Tana's tempered words made Wang Hai laugh. They were an old couple, but the mistress still acted like a spoiled child from time to time, just like when she first married him. And Wang Hai could see clearly that although Tana complained, her eyes were filled with urgency and yearning.

"My lady, the master has no choice. You understand him better than I do. If he could come to pick you and the young master in person, he would not have written to you." Wang Hai helped Zhu Shenzhui explain.

Tana cursed with a smile, sighed and shook her head, saying, "What's so good about being an emperor? After going to the capital, I can't even come to the grassland. How can this be called being an emperor? It's just like being in prison. It's not as comfortable as when I was on the grassland."

"My lady, the master is doing this for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Don't forget that he is a member of the royal family. Moreover, if the master becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it will be good for you and the two young masters. Otherwise, our tribe has been..." Wang Hai reminded her.

Tana naturally understood this truth, she was just talking about it. Moreover, she had longed for the Ming Dynasty since she was a child. The person Tana admired most was Sanniangzi, and her current path was similar to Sanniangzi's, but she was luckier than Sanniangzi.

Sanniangzi married several people in her life, all for the stability and development of Mongolia. Unfortunately, not long after Sanniangzi's death, Mongolia was involved in many years of war because of the rise of Lin Dan Khan. Coupled with the rise of the Liaodong Jiannu and the change in the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, the decades of peace in Mongolia were completely broken. But Tana was different. She married Zhu Shenzhui, who was not only young, but also more capable and heroic than Altan Khan at that time. Not only did he lay a solid foundation for the tribe, but he was now only one step away from the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with her own status and her eldest son Tengger, she has seen the possibility of peace and prosperity in the future. This is something that Sanniangzi has never achieved in her entire life, but Tana has done it.

Tana, who knows Chinese and Chinese characters and has a good understanding of Ming culture, would be lying if she said that Ming was not attractive to her. If she could visit Ming and reunite with her husband, she would be more than happy. However, Tana also knew that Zhu Shenzhui was no longer the same as before. As the emperor of Ming, he could not come to Mongolia to stay with her forever. The two of them would definitely spend less time together in the future, and so would their son.

Moreover, Zhu Shenzhui had another concubine in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jingqiu. Although Tana had never seen Xu Jingqiu, she was familiar with her, and both knew of each other's existence.

In fact, Tana could have stayed with her husband after going to the Ming Dynasty and competed with Xu Jingqiu for the position of the queen of the six palaces. But the proud Tana was unwilling to do so. In her opinion, as a Mongolian, the grassland was her home, and the position of the queen of the Ming Dynasty, a position that countless women in the world were crazy about, had no appeal to her.

Moreover, she still has Tenger and Agudamu. She doesn't care whether she is the queen or not. She is Aliya of the Mongolians and is more powerful than Sanniangzi. How could she possibly compete for this empty title like a bird in a cage?

"Forget it, just protect your master." Tana sighed and said to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said, "Madam, you have wronged me. It is natural for the master to be kind to me, but you are the mistress! And there are two young masters. In my heart, you are the same as the master, not to mention the young masters."

"Okay, it's settled. When spring comes, you should make arrangements in advance. Nothing can go wrong with the tribe. I will take Tenger and Agudamu to Daming to meet their Abu. The tribe will be handed over to you. You must help the young master take care of it."

"My lady, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong in the tribe. I will bring you and the young master back safely." Wang Hai said firmly. Although he also wanted to go to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shenzhui asked Wang Hai to return to Guihua City not long after they arrived in Beijing because of Mongolian reasons. But after returning, Wang Hai wanted to follow Zhu Shenzhui all the time.

Unfortunately, Guihua needed him, and Tana and Tengger also needed him, so he had to stay here. And next year, Tana, Tengger and Agudamu would go to Daming, so there needed to be someone who could control the situation, and he was the most suitable candidate.

Tana noticed a hint of helplessness in Wang Hai's eyes. She understood Wang Hai's intention and comforted him with a few words. She told him that after she and Tengger returned from Daming, she would let Wang Hai take Qiao'er to Daming. At that time, it would not be a problem whether Wang Hai and his wife stayed in Daming or went there and came back. As long as Wang Hai was willing, she would make all the arrangements.

Wang Hai was deeply moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said to Tana that after the affairs of the Ming Dynasty were over next year, he would have to go to the Ming Dynasty to meet Zhu Shenzhui, but he was not planning to stay in the Ming Dynasty for the time being. As for Qiao'er, he would also take her to see him. She and the child would come back to stay in the Ming Dynasty and let Qiao'er decide, but he would definitely return to naturalize.

Because the situation in Mongolia is not peaceful. Although the Chahar tribes in the east have been suppressed, the Outer Khalkha in the north, namely the Northern Mongolia, is ready to move. And the Western Mongolia in the west, including the Ordos tribe, Gushri Khan of Qinghai-Tibet, the Dzungar tribe of the Eleuth Mongols, etc. are all vicious wolves. Although the Tumed are strong, they are not without opponents. Tenger is still young and cannot stand on his own. Wang Hai must continue to support Tana and stabilize the regime.
