After inspecting the entire barracks, Zhu Youxiao returned to his big tent satisfied, and after two months of intensive training, this kind of tactical reform was almost formed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The two armies have been trained since last year, and they have been very familiar with old-fashioned tactics before, but now they are just converting.

After returning to the big tent, Zhu Youxiao began to deal with official business, although there is a cabinet in charge of the country, he does not have to care about it from time to time, but he must control the affairs of the inner government and the metropolitan governor's mansion. If you go to a far place, it will be fine, but now you are only in Liaodong, and it is only three days of work on the horse, of course, you have to care about everything.

Sun Chengzong's actions in various border towns, Shen Yourong's southward movement with the fleet, and the feedback and revisions on the use of the four ship types, the progress of land reform in Hebei, the formation of yamen in the provinces of the world, the issuance of the Imperial Daily, the gradual promotion of the Daming Royal Bank, and the arrival of the Spaniards in the port of Shanghai for trade.

And so on, all the great things that happened in the world were presented in front of him for him to read.

It's just that before Zhu Youxiao watched for a long time, an orderly soldier came to report, saying that Wang Wenyan and Wei Zhongxian wanted to meet. After Zhu You calibrated it, the two of them quickly appeared in front of him.

"Knock on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The singing in unison shouted out the overwhelming momentum. After a respectful salute, and with permission, the two stood up.

"How's the wool mill going?" Zhu Youxiao was the first to ask.

"It's all arranged, and wool buying points have been set up in the cities that are slowly being built, and then shipped to Shaanxi for weaving. This is the finished product that is currently coming out. As he spoke, Wang Wenyan took out three pieces of woolen cloth, "This is coarse wool, fine wool and fine wool cloth." ”

"Good, good." Touching three pieces of delicate, roughness of different degrees of wool cloth, Zhu Youxiao is very happy, food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing pie in the front, so the birth of any kind of fabric is a big event, more importantly, since then there is an indispensable raw material in the Central Plains on the grassland, so there is a long-term way.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Wang Wenyan lowered his eyebrows and smiled. Taking advantage of the emperor's pleasure, he began to tell about the recent developments of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, especially the development of the Tiangong Firm.

Under the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, most of them are production factories, and they are looking for channel merchants from all over the world - gentry or merchants, and only the Tiangong business name is different, he is a pure channel businessman. Zhu Youxiao from later generations knows that the real power is still the channel business, maybe at this time when the materials are not abundant, the manufacturer is more awesome, but it will not be long before the strong profit stimulus, the manufacturer will definitely explode, and when the time comes, it will enter the era of the channel is king.

Because of the emperor's attention, Wang Wenyan also attaches great importance to it, and a lot of his energy is focused on the development of Tiangong business, and now after nearly two years of rapid expansion, basically every prefecture and county has at least one Tiangong business store, specializing in all kinds of groceries, and the scale is very huge.

With the development of a huge transportation team, land, river, sea, direct or indirect control of resources, very rich.

Even in Liaodong, as well as among the small tribes outside the Guan, Tiangong merchants have begun to appear, selling all kinds of goods, and then exchanging them for precious furs, medicinal materials, gold and silver, etc., and the profits are very rich.

Listening to this, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, it was in vain that he injected so much money into the inner house, and now the inner government has a trace of the big chaebol in later generations, as long as he holds this money bag, then the children and grandchildren of the future generations basically don't have to worry.

After talking for more than half an hour, Wang Wenyan finally said all kinds of things, except for letting Zhu Youxiao have an intuitive concept of the silver income, he boasted a lot.

After Wang Wenyan, it was Wei Zhongxian, the first sentence of this old eunuch made Zhu Youxiao stunned.

"Your Majesty, you have found traces of Horqin and Jurchen." Wei Zhongxian said solemnly, then took out the map and began to show it to Zhu Youxiao.

After carefully looking at the simple map drawn by the intelligence officers, Zhu Youxiao had a general idea. Looking at the distance on the map, Zhu Youxiao smashed his mouth and said distressed for the other party, "This is really far enough!" ”

In addition to the location mapped, the intelligence officers of the East Factory brought back some general information. Huang Taiji was very powerful, and in this case, he still relied on his resourcefulness and charm to conquer Horqin, so that the entire tribe of the other party defected, and the two tribes merged into one and migrated further north.

Of course, all kinds of blood, conspiracy and betrayal in this, Zhu Youxiao can guess without looking, and he doesn't know how many upper-class nobles died in Horqin, and he was finally annexed by Huang Taiji. But this is all in the past, and the final result is that with a population of almost 500,000 and a huge number of livestock, he came to the bank of the Heilongjiang River.

The gradually civilized permafrost and fast-growing trees have covered up the traces of a large number of population migrations, so that Zhu Youxiao has not found any trace of the other party, but the East Factory is worthy of being the East Factory, and its pervasive ability is simply amazing.

After nearly two months of searching day and night, he finally got the information of Huang Taiji from the mouth of countless small tribes in the white mountains and black waters, and after secret exploration, he was basically able to determine the specific address.

At present, Huang Taiji takes people to temporarily live in the Qiqihar area in the later generations to recuperate. This place is thousands of miles away from Zhenbei Pass, and it is no wonder that Zhu Youxiao's troops can't search for them.

"Leave them alone for the time being, wait until they regain some strength, and then send troops to drive them north." Zhu Youxiao thought about it, but he still planned to let it go first.

After all, Huang Taiji now has a population of 500,000, which has a great pioneering role in the remote areas of Northeast China, and over there, after crossing the Great Xing'an Mountains, it is the Hulunbuir grassland, where there are still many Mongolian tribes living, at least two or three hundred thousand people, with Huang Taiji's heart, it will never let go, and they will send troops after they gather together.

Zhu Youxiao didn't seem to be killing the Jurchens at this time, he just wanted to keep driving the other party, let them keep going north, running north, after the north couldn't run, running to the west, it was best to run from Siberia all the way to Russia.

Wei Zhongxian knew about the emperor's idea, but he didn't know why the emperor wanted to do it, but this did not prevent him from working hard in this area.

Seeing that His Majesty was careful, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, in the Jurchens, we also contacted a Han person, and the other party said that he was willing to give us a party response." If Your Majesty wants Huang Taiji to continue to the north, or even to the west, this person should be able to play a great role. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Zhu Youxiao asked with great interest.

“…….”

Wei Zhongxian whispered a name, but Zhu Youxiao was shocked, thinking of what this person had done in history, and the idea that he wanted to surrender at this time, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but show a smile that was incomprehensible.

For Huang Taiji, Zhu Youxiao still has some understanding, the Jurchen is the most truly prosperous in his hands, from a tribe to a country, he pays special attention to the use of the Han people, under his hands, a large number of traitors emerged. Presumably at this time, this person is still quite a believer under Huang Taiji.

"You have to grasp this chess piece well, you can promise him, as long as he does what we ask, I can allow him to return to China after the deed is completed, and he will not be blamed for the past."

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian took the order, "With Your Majesty's words, the slave knows what to do, and the slave must let him guide the Jurchen all the way to the west." ”

"So, Aiqing bothered." When the traces of the Jurchen were found, Zhu Youxiao was greatly relieved, once this tribe was gone, the other small tribes scattered in the white mountains and black waters would be no evidence.

Most of those tribes lived a primitive life of drinking blood, and the most advanced ones were just like the wild Jurchens, relying on primitive means of fishing, hunting and grazing, and even farming had not developed, how could they be the opponents of the advanced culture of the Ming Dynasty.

The Northeast Plain is a vast area, and hidden under layers of mountains and trees is fertile black soil. Nowadays, the emergence of wool cloth and the large-scale application of cotton cotton cloth have given Daming the conditions for reclamation in the Northeast. Such a large chassis is enough to accommodate millions of people.

Not to mention the countless giant trees in the deep mountains and old forests, which are necessary materials for the construction of warships, although he is now developing steel keels, but for warships, heavy steel will reduce the carrying capacity of warships, and it is not the right way, large transport ships are okay, if they are used by warships, it will be unimaginably heavy.

Seeing that the emperor fell into contemplation again, Wang Wenyan made a look, Wei Zhongxian suddenly understood, the two saluted slightly, and then quietly retreated.

Coincidentally, after they came out, they happened to meet the orderly who was about to go in to report the news, Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand, "Your Majesty is pondering, it's not important news, just wait to report later." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about anything else, he drifted away, Wang Wenyan also disappeared after him, the two of them had a lot of things, and there was no extra time to waste here.

In the same place, only the orderlies with a tangled face were left, standing on the spot, thinking in a daze, whether it was important for the North Korean envoys to see His Majesty, or not.

After being depressed for a long time, he didn't understand whether he should go in and report. Fortunately, he didn't wait long for Zhu Youxiao to sober up from his thoughts.

As soon as he saw the big tent that was already empty, he knew that he was distracted again, and Wei Zhongxian and Wang Wenyan should have left at this time. Zhu Youxiao smiled and didn't care. The departure of the two was an order he had given before, after all, he didn't know what he was distracted about, and if the other party still had something to do, wouldn't it delay time.

Therefore he commanded, and when he saw him meditating, he who had nothing to do withdrew, and there was something to tell him, or to interrupt him, or to wait where he was. However, there are those who retreat, there are those who wait, but those who interrupt have never interrupted, even Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi have never interrupted Zhu Youxiao's contemplation.

"Come in." Seeing that there were people waiting outside, Zhu Youxiao spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The orderly responded, and after coming in, he reported, "Your Majesty, the North Korean envoys ask to see you." ”

"North Korean missions?" This unfamiliar name made Zhu Youxiao stunned, and after a while, he reacted, it should be the group that came to pay tribute during the winter solstice last year, "I didn't expect them to go back yet!" Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself.

After the Winter Solstice Dynasty last year, the Japanese envoys, to be precise, the envoys of the Satsuma Domain, returned shortly after the court meeting, after all, they were not a serious group, but only represented a local daimyō, and they did not have much hope, but hoped that this act of complaining would contain the three kings of the East China Sea, who are now famous.

After all, the drastic changes in the Ming Dynasty are not something that people who stay in this country can't deeply feel, and even foreign friends like John Tong, if they don't go deep into the officialdom and the people, they can't feel the general trend of change, let alone Japan, which is thousands of miles away.

In the eyes of Japan today, although the Ming Dynasty is still very strong, it is only on land and at sea, and perhaps the power of the Satsuma Domain will be even stronger. Even the Satsuma Domain couldn't deal with the three kings of the East China Sea, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the envoys of the Satsuma Domain, the Korean envoys never returned, but stayed at the Huitong Pavilion and waited for Emperor Ming's response. Of course, it makes sense from another angle, these people actually have no place in North Korea, they actually came to Daming for political refuge, and at the same time, they also pinned their hopes on Daming to help them restore their country.

At this time, the direction was still Gwanghae-kun. He became the son of the family and succeeded to the throne in the Imjin War, but he was recognized by the Ming Dynasty late, so the throne has been unstable, in history, in the third year of the Apocalypse, the current Korean envoy Li Liang will launch a coup d'état, oust Gwanghaejun from power, and ascend the throne himself.

Because it was abolished, Gwanghae-jun did not have a temple name or a nickname, and North Korea used the name of the Ming Dynasty, so in the end, he only got the title of Gwanghae-kun.

However, this history is very different. Although Gwanghae-jun has always pursued a neutral foreign policy of not betraying Ming and not angering Kim. However, this two-sided strategy could not save Korea, and after the Jurchens suffered great losses, Huang Taiji invaded Korea with his army, plundering 300,000 people and a large amount of supplies to supplement his own losses.

In addition, he also forced Gwanghaejun to sign an alliance under the city and become a subordinate state of the Jurchens, and Gwanghaejun was also a single, so he simply took this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and wantonly kill relatives who threatened his throne.

His idea is very simple, now the Jurchens are powerful, I surrender, and after the Ming Dynasty drives away the Jurchens, the killings on my side are almost the same, and those who are qualified to inherit the throne are all dead, and the Ming Dynasty can't do without me, his abacus crackled and thought, but the action went wrong, so that Li Liang ran away with people.

So there was a scene of the North Korean envoys crying to Daming at the court meeting.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao was quite interested, but it didn't take long for him to forget about this small country, and now he is stationed outside the north pass of this town, and he didn't even think about helping Li Liang restore the country.

And Li Liang and others who stayed in Beijing, but they waited for great suffering, they saw that the Ming Dynasty was majestic, the old enemy Mongolia lost his armor, and half of the Mongolian steppe was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, they were really envious, and when they knew that the Ming Emperor stayed in Liaodong, they hoped day and night that the emperor could think of himself and help restore the country.

It's just that they never waited for the news they wanted, and the emperor seemed to have forgotten them, in fact, Zhu Youxiao forgot them.

In the end, in desperation, they had to run to Zhenbei Pass, came to the army, and asked to see Zhu Youxiao.

Li Liang knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, how loyal he and others were to the Ming Dynasty, how much they admired the kingdom, if His Majesty the Emperor could help restore the country, he would be enshrined in the same year, and he would not dare to disobey and so on.

Seeing that Li Liang was crying with a face full of flowers, Zhu Youxiao remembered that last year, Huang Taiji seemed to have invaded North Korea, and then signed a letter of state and snatched his little brother over.

Listening to Li Lianxu babbling about how Guanghai Jun, who is now in power, is not, how he is disobedient, even Wanli asked him to send troops at the beginning, and he was reluctant, and he had resentment and so on.

Originally, Li Liang was secretly contacting people, accumulating strength, and planning to launch a coup d'état when the time was ripe, but all this was ruined by Huang Taiji, and the throne at his fingertips was gone, how could he be willing in his heart, at this time in front of Zhu Youxiao, he naturally tried his best to slander Guanghaijun.

Looking at how Guanghaijun lost his morality and how unpopular he was, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of his younger brother, Zhu Youzhen, who had just been named the king of letters, and then his mind was opened.

Why don't you let Zhu Youzhen be the king of this North Korea?!

As soon as this brain hole opened, he really couldn't stop it, Rao is Zhu Youxiao's power came out, and this thought still filled his mind and made his heart move.

That...... Try it.

Thinking about it, he looked at Li Liang and the North Korean kneeling on the ground with different eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Gwanghae-kun's various behaviors can be called great rebellion, and he is really a damned person." ”

Li Liang, who had been talking for a long time, didn't hear the reply, and his heart was still a little cold, but this time the emperor spoke, and he pointed directly at the legitimacy of Guanghaijun, which really won his heart! That's right, that's it, Gwanghae-kun is a big rebel, damn it, it's better to abolish him!

"Your Majesty Shengming, Guanghai-kun is not worthy of being a king!" Li Brown looked happy.

"Gwanghae-kun is not worthy of being king! Hmph, I don't think the Lee family is worthy of the throne of the king of Joseon. Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and got up suddenly.

Li Liang was happy, who knew that the emperor's words suddenly changed like this, and he actually said that the Li family is not worthy of being the king, this is a map cannon, the Li family is not worthy of being the king, who is still worthy? Faintly, Li Qi felt that something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao, who stood up, didn't wait for him to answer, and suddenly roared, "In the early years, the Ming Dynasty has always refused to recognize the status of the prince of Guanghai, but the previous king was unwilling to abolish it. In this way, he violated the mandate of heaven three or four times, and what face did the Li family have to inherit the grace of the Ming Dynasty, according to the throne of Joseon. ”

"Come, pass on my will, in the name of the country of the Ming suzerain, abolish the throne of the Prince of the Lee family of Korea, effective immediately. The three armies were ordered to pull out the camp tomorrow, wave the army to North Korea, destroy this dynasty and set things right. ”

After saying it angrily, Zhu Youxiao threw off his sleeves and left, leaving only the documents that kept writing the holy decree in the big tent, and Li Liang and others who were stunned.

They were stupid and stupid, but they never thought that their crying would be exchanged for this result, the Li throne was abolished!

Although Zhu Youxiao said that these are all facts, there is a reason for this! Da Ming, don't go! Listen to me, listen to me!
