Although there is no worry about how a daughter will not find her in-laws when she is old, as a parent, she always hopes that her daughter can have a good home. This is also a problem that plagued Shouhan and Yan Mei'er, Mei Shan Shilin, Li Muhua and others.

Now from Zheng Zhilong's mouth, I heard the clues between Li Huamei and Shi Lang, how not to surprise Shouhan?

"Brother Feihuang, who else knows about this?"

"My lord, no one else knows. However, what should be done, please make the Lord public. ”

This is a little difficult, and this matter can't find two parties to ask, once asked, with Li Huamei's temper, it is inevitable to make trouble, if this matter spreads all over the city, I am afraid that Li Huamei's marriage will really be in the soup.

"Don't make a noise. However, Brother Feihuang, Shi Daxuan is your fellow villager in Quanzhou, Fujian, and your old department, you can quietly find him and explore his details. Let's see if we can get a glimpse of Shi Lang's mind from him. ”

"Good! However, my lord, in all fairness, Shi Lang, this kid, is much stronger than my big wood in terms of water fighting ability, life, and personality. If the eldest lady is really interested in falling in love with that kid, the matchmaker's matter will fall on Zheng's head! ”

arranged for Zheng Zhilong to quietly run for his daughter's marriage, and next, Shouhan had to deal with it, or to put it mildly, he had to wipe the emperor's buttocks.

He Long was escorted by Wang Dehua to the Jingshi Sacrifice Prisoner, which can be regarded as giving Chongzhen a sacrifice to the Taimiao, a chance to comfort the ancestors and the ancestors, and a huge step down.

But. This emperor did not know for a while whether he had been fooled by the Chinese official again, but with a stroke of his pen, after reprimanding him in person, he ordered the Ministry of Ceremonies to reissue the seal letter to canonize the lord of Burma, who had repented to the Daming Emperor and wept bitterly and wanted to become a vassal of the Daming again. Then, he was ready to order him to return to China to govern.

Is this worth it?

Isn't this a waste of months of bloody fighting by tens of thousands of soldiers? The members of the Mang Ying family who tied him up and sent him to the camp would not agree, and if they broke out in Burma, they would bear the brunt of the chaos in Nanzhong and Siam. This is absolutely not possible.

When he heard such a thing, Shouhan had no choice but to take remedial measures after scolding the corrupt and Confucian country. If it is according to his ideas. A new king should be installed in Burma. Since I can't afford to swallow Burma in one gulp at the moment, it's always okay for me to adopt a gradual pattern of chopping with a knife and boiling a frog in warm water, right?

But. Fortunately, Chongzhen is not completely confused. He was dizzy by the civilian officials who poured rice soup with traditional diplomatic concepts such as benevolence and righteousness and Huairou. There is still a trace of clarity, and he ordered the eunuch to go south out of Beijing in the name of rewarding Li Huamei as the county lord. He went to Hue to inquire about Shouhan's meaning, and handed over the power of how to deal with the aftermath of Burma to Shouhan. "I'm not remote."

Wu Liangfu, a familiar eunuch who came to issue the edict, read out the holy decree that Li Huamei was named the lord of Zhaoyang, and in the will, Li Huamei was praised as "virtuous and virtuous, chaste and sensitive, and loyal and filial, diligent and diligent in royal affairs, and has made great contributions to the country." Therefore, he gave the title of the county lord and rewarded him with honor guards, court clothes and other things.

According to Wu Liangfu's statement, this decree was issued by the emperor in a thunderous rage, and according to the Banshi doctor, this move was a strict act to disrupt the program. It was already an exception to canonize Li's two concubines as wives last time, and now Li's own title is only an earl, how can his daughter be crowned the county lord? It's nonsense!

After giving a notice to the central government and the central government, Wu Liangfu asked Shouhan to kneel down again. "The emperor personally wrote for this, Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan knelt to receive it!"

Here comes the real purpose!

Shouhan knelt on his knees, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and took the very strict will sealed by fire paint with both hands, which can be seen that Chongzhen attaches great importance to this will.

"Uncle, there are no outsiders here, so you just sit wide and understand the emperor's will. As for whether the slave or maid saw you kneeling down and reading according to the etiquette, it was irrelevant. Whether the emperor is loyal or not is not in this bit of etiquette. ”

After handing over the holy decree to Shouhan, Wu Liangfu helped Shouhan up, and said something rebellious in Shouhan's ear with a smile.

"Then there will be Father-in-law Lao."

Wu Liangfu came this time, in addition to reading the holy decree to confer Li Huamei as the title of the county lord, he also privately brought a boatload of Yongle ceremony, which was the result of nearly a year of stealing and stealing by him and the eunuchs in the palace.

For a gold lord like Shouhan, how can he, a eunuch with clear eyebrows and eyes, not be good at stammering? In troubled times, it's always good to have a few more people, and God knows which cloud will rain?

was carefully helped by Wu Liangfu to sit down on his handsome seat, and Shouhan opened the secret decree to read it after inspecting the fire paint seal.

In Chongzhen's handwritten purpose, Chongzhen also couldn't take care of the dignity of the people, and poured bitter water in the will. The gist of it is that this time I originally wanted to directly crown you as the king, and the hereditary replacement of the town of Nanzhong, but the opposition of the DPRK and the central government was too loud, especially the officials from Jiangnan, so I had to make Li Huamei the county lord first, and also paved the way for the next step of sealing Aiqing as the king. At this time, I handed over the right to deal with the aftermath of Burma, Bangladesh and other places to Aiqing, and only hoped that Ning Yuanbo could stabilize the southern border as soon as possible, so as to send troops to the north as soon as possible, and carry forward the spirit of continuous battles with the Qing army in Hexiwu, Qingfeng Mingyueguan, Changqing, Jinan and other places that day, and pacify the thieves for the country as soon as possible.

Chongzhen's will, Shouhan tasted bitter water, sweet dates and big sticks from it. The bitter water was poured out to him by Chongzhen, no wonder Wu Liangfu didn't dare to read it, but asked Shouhan to read it himself. If such a decree is read, the emperor's face will be thrown to Tianzhu. Sweet jujube is a big cake drawn by the emperor, which is the promise to make himself the prince after the extermination of the Liao thief. And the big sticks. It is in this secret decree that he has handed over the power to deal with the aftermath of Myanmar and Bangladesh, so that how to slaughter Myanmar has legitimacy!

"Father-in-law, this will say that the emperor handed over the matter of how to deal with the aftermath to a certain family, but the Ministry of Rites also has an official document here, saying that the newly canonized Burmese king Thalung will return to the country soon. This. What should a certain family do? ”

Shouhan decided to try to touch Chongzhen's inner thoughts from the mouths of these royal family slaves.

"What do the gentlemen of the Ministry of Rites say is the same thing, as long as it is this Talung king of Burma in his royal city. As for whether it is to restore a few Tusi under the rule of Sanxuan Liuwei, send military horses to settle in a certain place, and how to make the Burmese king dare not harass the interior and other vassals again, the emperor thinks that he will listen to his uncle. ”

A sly smile appeared on Wu Liangfu's smooth face.

It's good that you have this attitude!

Shouhan had long wanted to divide the few members of the Mangying family who had bound him up. In order to divide Myanmar. Meantime. In this way, the contradictions within the Mangying family have been completely torn apart, and they can no longer be unified with the outside world.

In the following days. The large, sophisticated and efficient office began to run at a rapid pace according to the owner's intentions.

According to the descriptions of the military gazetteers on the maps of Burma and Bangladesh, the military division began to choose where to place the army, where to build a port and wharf, and where to use a commercial port and warehouse. In order to achieve this goal, how many soldiers and ships need to be stationed, and how much food will be spent to build a barracks and port.

The household secretary translated and analyzed the seized household register albums from Burma, from which he analyzed and understood the income from the population, land and acres of land and other production income, and saw where he had to leave it to him as a necessary breadwinner, and those things must not be left to him.

On the other hand, the Rei Si was a meritorious man who helped pacify Burma and fought against him, and several of his uncles, brothers, nephews and other generations sent to Hue as envoys and representatives, repeatedly bargaining in the secret room to see how to divide the huge Burma into small countries. Let these guys who were once jealous of the throne of Burma have their own one-third of an acre of land, and have lived a life of hegemony in their own independent kingdom.

In comparison, Bangladesh, which is adjacent to Myanmar, is much easier.

"Our Nanyue army only took the territories and people of the Nawab that day, and the rest of the places remained the same. However, I want to re-canonize you with the gift of the Celestial Empire. After that, the people of my Heavenly Empire will come and go in and out of your land, and their status and treatment will be the same as those of the earth kings. ”

Soon, a submission on how to divide Burma was sorted out by the official office and presented to Shouhan.

Yangon, which guards the mouth of the Irrawaddy River, is used as an open area and a treaty port, where all Burmese forces can come and go at will, from the Burmese king Thalung to the dozen Tusi and generals who are about to be canonized by the Ningyuan Bofu with the holy decree, they can sell their own production here in exchange for gold, silver and what they need. Burmese people were allowed to enter and leave this treaty port and the Saren across the river, but they were not allowed to garrison troops.

In order to maintain the normal order of trade, the Nanyue Army will station no less than one mixed brigade and 20 brigs and land troops in these two areas to maintain law and order and deter Xiaoxiao.

In the eyes of the Burmese people, there are many high mountains and dense forests, and poisonous insects and beasts infested the northern part of Myanmar, that is, Mubang, Mengyang, Cheli, Mengmi, Menggong, Manmo, Gasha, Mengbei and other places that have been ravaged and invaded many times by Mangyinglong...... and other areas of the original Tusi jurisdiction, which were taken away by the Nanyue Army. As a direct jurisdiction of Ningyuan Bofu.

"It turns out that the Han people who are extremely shrewd and capable also have times when they are confused!" Instead of plundering rich areas such as the Irrawaddy River, where the Han Chinese were abundant, occupying the northern part of Myanmar, which had only high mountains and rivers, poisonous insects and beasts, several members of the Mangying family, who had recently been named Tusi, scoffed at this.

In their opinion, this narrow strip of land stretching thousands of miles from Chayu to Jiangao Mountain in Wusizang, and across the middle of the Gaoligong Mountain, the Enmei Kaijiang River, and the Maili Kaijiang River, is purely a piece of chicken ribs except for some timber and jade, and if it were not for Mang Yinglong's plan to attack Yunnan and set the capital in Dali, the Burmese themselves would not have occupied this area.

But a year later, when they saw the Irrawaddy River of giant trees being harvested from the upper reaches and down the river, the words hit them firmly on their chests.

Ningyuan City. The military department Shangshu and Jiliao Supervisor Hong Chengchou are still so gentle and elegant, every move has an indescribably beautiful demeanor, the big red python suit on his body, and the three long beards are all decorated in a meticulous manner.

From how to mediate the relationship between the soldiers and horses in various towns, to the distribution of grain, grass, ordnance, and salaries that were raised in every possible way, to how to make the Guanning Army and the Shanhai Navy, which were the head snakes of the land, get along as harmoniously as possible with the officers and troops who came from Shaanxi, Datong, Xuanfu and other places thousands of miles away, all kinds of things made Hong Chengchou worry and worry about him, and he paid great attention to his image. Despite the careful care. But a face is becoming more and more clear, but in this way, Hong Chengchou is becoming more and more restrained and deep, with a pair of eyes. Full of stories.

Weather in April. Although Liaodong is bitterly cold. But it's also getting hotter. The soldiers of the people in the city took off their thick winter clothes one after another and changed into summer clothes.

After more than a year of confrontation, I got news from Hosaku and the spy. The Jiannu in Liaodong have been dragged to an exhaustion and are unable to carry on this confrontation situation, which is the most energy-consuming and consuming of national strength. There were also people in the interior who constantly proposed to stop the strategy of besieging Jinzhou, luring the Ming army to come to help, and taking the opportunity to break through and defeat the main force of the Ming army in the field battle.

The reason for this faction is that now there is enough grain, forage, ammunition, and charcoal in Jinzhou City, and it is not a problem to hold it for a year, and there is the Daling River connected to the sea, and a few days ago, the Ming army and naval divisions covered it with large gunboats, and the large fleet of ships went straight to Jinzhou City, and Zu Dashou and others in the city took the opportunity to receive a large amount of food and supplies into the city.

"The Ming Kingdom is rich, so consumed, how can my Eight Banners Army be the opponent of the Ming Kingdom? Now I have tens of thousands of soldiers, more than 100,000 clothed slaves, gathered in Jinzhou and other places, the daily consumption is huge, Shengjing and other places The price of grain has risen again, and now the spring famine, the emperor, it is better for my Eight Banners army to enter the customs and plunder, and then go to the Ming Kingdom Jingshi. First, we can loot the property and population, help the army to survive the spring famine, and second, we can lure Hong Chengchou to lead the troops and horses back to Shiqin Wang, and we can ambush him in the middle of the road! ”

This plan is not unmistakable. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head after hearing that someone was offering such a plan to Huang Taiji, if Huang Taiji adopted this tactic, then, near the Beijing Division, there would be a scene of Jiannu Eight Banners waiting for work to eliminate his Qinwang soldiers and horses. At that time, when he returned to the Ningjin area, the soldiers and horses left behind would inevitably be frightened birds, and they had no intention of fighting again.

In order to prevent this scene from happening in the Gyeonggi area, Hong Chengchou decided to stay in the Jiannu Eight Banners and continue to consume himself on the front line of Jinzhou in Ningyuan.

He is not short of food and equipment now, and he has the confidence to consume Huang Taiji to death!

Moreover, in March, when Ning Yuanbo's eldest daughter was ordered to escort the food and salary to the front line, she also told the generals of Liaodong at the reception banquet that as soon as Ning Yuanbo solved the Burma that had disturbed the interior many times in the past, he would personally lead the army to the north, and together with the adults in Liaodong now, he would destroy this dynasty and food, share the worries of the monarch's father, and earn a name for himself in history.

Originally, Ning Yuanbo's money and grain arrived at the front line in Liaodong, which had already made the generals and soldiers of the Liaodong army thunderous and morale, and now I heard that Ning Yuanbo's army would soon go north, and the military horses who had dealt with the Nanyue army and fought side by side were even more morale-high. Whether it was the Xuan Army, which had a good impression of the Southern Guangdong Army, or the Guanning Army, which was dissatisfied with the Southern Guangdong Army, they were all convinced of the combat effectiveness of the Southern Guangdong Army.

With such an army coming, we will definitely win this battle!

However, in this case, what should be the credit of the commanders and generals?

From Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, Zhang Ruoqi of the military department, and Cai Maode, who still participated in politics with the first level of demotion to the head of the army in Jiliao, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian, and other commanders of the Liaodong front, they were a little careful in private.

"Ning Yuanbo's army is coming, where is there still a chance for us to make a fortune?"

"At that time, it is inevitable that someone will make up a drama about Ning Yuanbo's contribution to Ning Yuancheng, and sing it in the north and south of the river, and sing praises to him."

In addition, the holy decrees, documents, and letters from the DPRK and China flew like snowflakes, all urging him to march quickly, first relieve the siege of Jinzhou, and then carry out field battles to defeat the Jiannu army, and establish immortal feats for the court and himself. forced Hong Chengchou to move forward slowly, take a step forward, and consolidate the deployment of one step, but he gradually wavered in his own heart. He organized several reinforcements to attack in the direction of Jinzhou, although he temporarily lost and retreated. But the Qing army on the front line also had some difficulty coping with them.

Today, Inspector Hong invited Zhang Ruoqi of the military department to come to discuss the military situation. Although Zhang Ruoqi is only Lang Zhong of the Ministry of War, in terms of grade, how many miles away is he from Hong Chengchou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the superintendent of Jiliao? However, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of officials, but only of management.

The Department of Soldiers, the full name of which is the "Department of Officials of the Staff", is one of the four divisions of the Ming Army, which is in charge of the maps of the provinces, the merits of military officials, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and military reviews and tests. Although in later generations there was a so-called "staff and staff are poor and busy" ballad, but at this time it was quite powerful. Zhang Ruoqi is the real power figure of the Ministry of War, and he is quite important to Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is also the messenger of the Liaodong Front Supervisor.
