With the heads of Doni and his son being sent to the Tianjin Palace, the Battle of Pingliao was basically over. The reason why it is basic is that military victory also needs to be guaranteed by political rationality. And the political rational arrangement, of course, is the implementation of second-level feudalism in Jianzhou and Heilongjiang.

There is nothing to say about the Jianzhou Jiedu and Heilongjiang Jiedu Envoys, and they will definitely be surnamed Zhu in the future. Even if Ajige and Dongzhu can't have a son, Emperor Zhu's son is enough...... If it is really not enough, Emperor Chongzhen is very willing to let his son go to Jianzhou and Heilongjiang.

However, the Zhu family can't eat all the benefits of Jianzhou and Heilongjiang. Who will be a lackey after all the eating? So a large area of sparsely populated bitter cold land, can't all be governed by rogue officials, right? That kind of place is not something that ordinary civil officials can handle, they all have to be capable people who can cut people when they get on the horse, and they can deceive people when they get off the horse, where can Emperor Zhu find so much?

Therefore, Zhu Cihong has to continue to use those Manchurian nobles, not only to use Manchurian nobles, but also to use Mongolian nobles and lamas and nobles on the snowy plateau in the future, and maybe there will be nobles from other places to follow the Great Ming Dynasty - who told Emperor Zhu to revive the Celestial Empire? It will not be so troublesome to throw away the Celestial Empire, live a small life on your own, and be a self-caring nation-state.

Of course, after throwing the Celestial Empire, the circle of Chinese civilization is gone. And the circle of Tianfang and Christian civilization will take the opportunity to expand, and finally surround the Chinese civilization.

If it is the end of the Qing Dynasty, abandoning the illusory Celestial Empire and becoming a nation-state is also a more pragmatic choice.

But Zhu Cihong is in charge of a great tomorrow dynasty that has embarked on the road of capitalism! There are more populations, tax revenues, and GDP than Christian circles and celestial circles combined.

In such a situation, it is irresponsible for future generations to actively shrink the circle of civilization......

And Wei Zheng's statement that Yidi "strong will be robbers, weak and humble" problem, Emperor Zhu could not ignore it. After careful consideration, Emperor Zhu modified the methods of the Tokugawa shogunate and used them.

The stone of other mountains can attack jade, although the Tokugawa family in history has produced many waste generals, but the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu who opened up the shogunate is definitely a human spirit, the second generation of the general Hidetada, and the third generation of the general Iemitsu are also masters of the rectification of the feudal domain. With the methods summed up by their three generations, are they afraid that they will not be able to deal with the nobles of Manchuria and Mongolia? At present, the military superiority of the Great Ming Dynasty was much stronger than that of Manchurian Mongolia and that of the Tokugawa Shogunate relative to the Southwest Princes. Are you afraid you won't be able to get them?

Of course, there are times when the Tokugawa shogunate's methods are smashed, for example, the Tokugawa shogunate itself is about to smash!

"Your Majesty, the current war situation in Japan is very unfavorable to the Tokugawa shogunate! After the Battle of Kagoshima Bay, a large number of surviving Spanish soldiers fled to shore and joined the Shimazu Army. Later, the Shimazu family salvaged a batch of artillery from Kagoshima Bay, modified it and used it in land warfare. Although they were navy, these Spaniards were also proficient in land warfare, especially in the use of firearms, and in the art of siege. With their help, the Shimazu army grew in strength, first defeating the pro-Tokugawa Kuroda, Nabeshima, and Tachibana coalition forces in several battles on the island of Kyushu, and pushing the battle line to the vicinity of Nagasaki. Later, he crossed the sea into Honshu, Japan, and defeated the shogunate army under the command of Masayuki Hoshina, the lord of the Aizu domain, at the Battle of Hagi Castle, and invaded the territory of the Hiroshima domain. By the time he left Japan, the Toyotomi Army, with the main forces of the Shimazu and Mori armies, had besieged Hiroshima Castle, the domain of the Hiroshima Domain. There are also rumors that the Asano family in Hiroshima has fallen to the side of Toyotomi......"

In the palace in Tianjin, it was Wei Zaode, who had just returned from Japan, who was reporting to Emperor Zhu about the domestic situation in Japan, and this "Zhuge Liang of the Ming Dynasty" was supposed to go around the Americas, but he was reluctant to travel east in Japan, saying that he was seriously ill. But in reality? Now looking at the red light and full of energy, where is there a little sick look?

Moreover, Emperor Zhu also received a report that Wei Zaode was sick during his stay in Japan, and his sons and daughters gave birth to several ...... It seems that the Tokugawa shogunate took good care of him!

However, Zhu Cihong was not angry, because Lao Wei brought back the Tokugawa Gao when he returned to China...... Japanese tall girl, she is so beautiful, it's really rare.

In addition, Emperor Zhu also knew that the old man Lu Zhenfei was about to be unbearable, so he had to let Wei Zaode go back to the furnace to be the first assistant again - now the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty is not easy to do, because the following is the richest man Zheng, one is the second richest man Shen, and there is one richest Zhu at the top!

The following two have to be suppressed just right, and they can't let the one above always worry about the government - Zhu Cihong governs the country and cares about the big and the small, only cares about the soldiers and money, and lets go of the others as much as possible. So there must be a Shoufu who can do chores, and this Shoufu can't be a southerner.

Because Zheng Shoufu and Shen Erfu are both southerners, there are also Grand Duke Shangshu Luo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs among the cabinet ministers, and Qian Qianyi, the old immortal Shangshu of the Donglin Kuishou Rite Department, is also a southerner. If there is another southerner, then the pattern of the north-south system will be broken......

"I really didn't expect those Spanish navies to be so powerful in land battles......" Zhu Cihong muttered, turning his head to look at Bao Ke Zhengzheng who came over with Wei Zaode. He is Gao Mei's own brother, and he looks serious - Bao Ke Masayuki really knows how to choose a name! The daughter is tall, and she grows tall. The son's name is serious, and he looks quite serious.

Now his father was defeated again and again by the Shimazu family, so he had to take the opportunity of sending his sister to marry and ask Emperor Zhu for help.

"Serious!" Zhu Cihong called out the serious name of Hoshina, "Did the Tokugawa shogunate agree to make Nagasaki Town and the Goto Islands the territory of Takaki?" ”

Gao Mei should have come to Daming a long time ago, but the reason why she kept dragging it out was because Zhu Cihong asked for Nagasaki, Goto Islands, and Tanegashima as Gao Ji's "Tang Muyi".

This matter made it difficult for the Tokugawa family to accept, after all, Gao Ji's "Tang Muyi" was actually Zhu Cihong's territory. This is equivalent to the Tokugawa family ceding the land of Japan to the Ming Dynasty......

So the two sides have been arguing over these territories, and Gao Ji can only wait in Nagasaki. It wasn't until Masayuki Hoshina suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Ogijo that substantial concessions had to be made - the shogunate demanded that Tanegashima be taken back to the Goto family as a fief, and then Goto and Nagasaki would be added to the Daming (which was actually already in the hands of the Daming), and it was not the domain of Tokugawa Takashi alone.

"Your Majesty," Hoshina Masashi has already learned Chinese in Nagasaki, and now he will talk to Zhu Cihong in Chinese, "The shogunate believes that the land of Nagasaki and Goto can be used as the Tang Muyi of all the Tokugawa princesses who will enter the Ming court in the future, rather than the Tang Muyi of Gao Ji alone. ”

"That's fine." Zhu Cihong nodded, "In this case, I can recruit some Kyushu samurai in Nagasaki to form a new army to aid the shogunate...... Seriously, you are Gao Ji's brother, so you might as well be the Nagasaki New Army! ”

"Nagasaki New Army?" Baoke was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, is this army the Shogunate Army?" ”

"Of course not," said Zhu Cihong, "this army will be supported by the taxes collected by Nagasaki Town, and naturally it will be Gao Ji's army...... And after they have completed the task of supporting the shogunate, they will also use it in other aspects, such as the siege of Manila. ”

The use of Japanese mercenaries in the war on the South Sea side is, of course, incorrect...... But the reality that Emperor Zhu faced was also very painful.

In the field of Nanyang, the probability of contracting the epidemic is too high - it is impossible to attack the city in a relatively clean city! And malaria, the most terrible enemy of the South Seas, is spread by mosquito bites, and the armies fighting in the field are too susceptible to disease. If you want to build and fight under the castle for a long time, it is really not many to die of a third of the disease! Zhu Cihong was reluctant to send a large number of expensive Ming troops to fight in Nanyang, and 108,000 died of illness, and he had to support millions of acres of land alone...... So let's use cheap and high-quality Japanese mercenaries!

Anyway, there are ronins in Japan, and the Tokugawa family won't feel distressed if they die a little more.
