Tianjin, the great tomorrow is here.

In Zhu Cihong's study, a man and a woman sat opposite each other. The man is, of course, Zhu Cihong himself, who has been stationed in Tianjin these days, on the one hand paying attention to the war outside the Guan, and on the other hand, arranging the construction of the Tianjin Development Zone with Shen Tingyang.

The female is Kim Dong-joo, who has just returned from North Korea - in order to give Doni a ride, she really did her best, and Daming's good cousin must be her! Now it is winter, Tianjin Weihaikou is frozen, there is no way to arrive by boat, can only go to Dengzhou first, and then travel more than 1,000 miles by land to Tianjin. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Dongzhu often participated in physical exercise in Nanjing Primary School, and is now in good health, he would be tired and lying down this way.

But it's a boat ride, and it's a long way to go, and I'm still tired enough. But she still didn't care about resting, and as soon as she arrived in Tianjin, she hurriedly asked to see Emperor Zhu, and brought a letter that was said to be written by Azig, a high-ranking monk outside the Guanwai.

"Azig wants to ask for a death-free card...... Zhu Cihong had already finished reading the letter, pondered for a while, and asked again, "Dongzhu, do you think Azig can solve Doni?" ”

According to the "Chongzhen Law" revised by Zhu Cihong, Azig's father Nurhachi was guilty of treason and rebellion, and Azig himself did not have this unpardonable sin - because Nurhachi had been plotting rebellion for many years when Azig was born. However, he is a son, so he is among the Zhulian, and he can be judged to death according to the law. But it is not necessary to talk about death, because when Zhu Cihong surrendered for the first time in Shunzhi, he had already avoided the disaster of Shunzhi and Duoduo's death.

Although Azig was not exempted from death, because he belonged to Shunzhi and Duoduo, he would not be prosecuted - the punishment for an accomplice could not exceed that of the main culprit, and in terms of the calamity of the co-ordination, it was the principal culprit who benefited the most from his parents and ancestors. Shunzhi got the emperor, Duoduo got the land outside the pass, and Azig became a monk. The Ming court could not let go of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the lord of Guanwai, and then went to hunt down an old monk.

However, in addition to Zhulian's death, Azig also had other crimes - he was the prince of the Qing Dynasty who led troops, and once presided over a battle to enter the pass, and also presided over the siege of Datong (although Datong was not broken by him, but by Dolgon). In the process of conquest, he killed innocents indiscriminately and committed heinous crimes, which is why he needs to avoid death.

This brand must not be given from the perspective of political correctness...... But Zhu Cihong didn't talk about this, he just wanted to solve the war in the northeast as soon as possible.

The northeast of the Ming Dynasty is divided into the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division (General Army) and the jurisdiction of the Nuergan Division, the former is a familiar land developed for many years, it is a good place, the transportation is relatively convenient, and the farmland developed is also more - under the management of Li Chengliang, Liaozhen Tuntian can raise 100,000 soldiers!

And the latter is difficult to get, they are all forests and snow fields, and now it is the Xiaoice River period, it is cold to death, and the value of agricultural development is not high - now to develop the Heilongjiang River Basin, it is better to go to the Americas! It's warm around the Gulf of America, and there's gold to dig south to California. Moreover, if the territory of the Americas is not occupied, it will belong to others, and Heilongjiang will not be able to run.

Now the Rakshasa Kingdom is still entangled with the powerful Dzungar tribe on the side of Mughustan, and there is not much strength to fight for the Heilongjiang River valley.

In addition, the Ming Navy, the French Navy, the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company are now jointly exploring the Bering Strait and Kamchatka.

If Emperor Zhu is not mistaken, there was an excellent port called Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Kamchatka in later generations, which seemed to be an ice-free port. As long as this expedition can find there, Daming will be able to build a naval base and fortress there. In this way, the Rakshasa country will not be able to leave the Bering Strait from the Arctic Ocean and enter the Sea of Okhotz and then enter the Heilongjiang River - if there is no transit port of Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka, the fleet of the Rakshasa country will have to start from the port in the lower reaches of the Lena River, go around for 10,000 miles, and look at the twists and turns of the route to know that it is impossible to have a smooth journey, if there is no port to dock and add supplies on the way, it will not be able to reach Heilongjiang at all.

As for taking the land route and starting from Yakutsk to attack Heilongjiang, then there will be hundreds of people to die, and there is no way to solve the logistics if there are too many people.

As long as the Ming side controls Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and blocks the sea route of the Rakshasa country, it can enter the Heilongjiang River along the coast of the Far East. The army sent by this route is tens of thousands, and it is impossible to lose to a few hundred Rakshasa soldiers......

But once the remnants of Manchuria led by Doni defect to the Rakshasa State, then Emperor Zhu will have a headache for a while. Even if there were not a few Rakshasa soldiers who could come from Yakutsk, as long as the Rakshasa could provide gunpowder and guns to the Manchurian soldiers in the Heilongjiang Valley, they would be able to rely on the favorable terrain to fight the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, of course, it can win by fighting to the end at all costs, but the war will be lost - there is no way to save money if this kind of war is to be won, and it is necessary to carry out development step by step from the north and south, set up strongholds, suppress the eastern captives, and prepare for a long-term war of ten or twenty years. And the farmland obtained from Liaodong (Liaoyang Province) is not enough to pay for the war, and the imperial court must be prepared to spend a lot of money!

If the problem can be solved with two internal domains surnamed Zhu, Zhu Cihong is of course willing.

"Your Majesty," Dongzhu said with a smile, "if the imperial court wants to set up provinces in Jianzhou and Heilongjiang, Doni's subordinates may be resistant. After all, once a province is set up, there will be no feudalism anymore, and there is nowhere for them to go. If the imperial court is willing to set up an internal domain, then what does the feudal lord's surname Zhu or Aixin Jueluo have to do with the people below? They will be satisfied if they can have a king of the valley, who can sell ginseng, skins, pearls, wood, and rare birds. ”

With the establishment of a direct province, the local power and oil and water will be small, and there is certainly no problem in a densely populated and economically developed place - the cake is big enough, and the people below have more opportunities, but they will not support the establishment of a feudal domain, because the class is easy to solidify after the establishment of a feudal town.

The area under the jurisdiction of Nuergandusi is dense with mountains and forests, the weather is cold, and the oil and water are ginseng, leather goods, pearls, wood, and rare birds, which look good, but the quantity is limited, so there are not many opportunities.

In this case, if the Ming Dynasty wants to set up a direct province, it is equivalent to depriving a group of valley kings of the benefits, and resistance is inevitable.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "I originally wanted to set up a domain in Heilongjiang and Jianzhou...... also planned to make Zhulan and Doni the lords of the domain, but unfortunately the two of them did not know the current affairs and had to resist. ”

"Yes," Dongzhu said, "now that the whole of Manchuria regrets it, and they also hate Doni, the faint lord, as long as His Majesty is willing to set up a domain, no one will really defend them." ”

"But I want all the men of Dhoni to die!" Zhu Cihong made a condition, "Can Azig do it?" Doni still has a lot of troops! ”

"Yes!" Dongzhu said, "As long as His Majesty is willing to borrow someone...... You don't need to actually borrow, you just need to give a name. In the name of this man, Dhoni died. ”

"Alone?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Who?" ”

Dongzhu smiled: "Love Xin Jueluo. Xuan Ye! ”

Kangxi?

"He's still a kid, what can he do?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"I can be the envoy of the Heilongjiang Festival!" Dongzhu said, "Doni did not dare to call the emperor, but was blessed as the king." But Fu Lin died a long time ago, and Xuan Ye was the rightful lord of Manchuria. If His Majesty made Xuanye the envoy of the festival, would the Manchurians still follow Doni? Once the hearts of the people are gone, the heads of the Doni family will soon be sent to Tianjin, and the Battle of Pingliao will be a complete victory. ”

Zhu Cihong laughed, "Dongzhu, you really deserve to be the daughter of the wise king...... Say, what reward do you want? ”

Dongzhu smiled: "The concubine just wants to give birth to a child for His Majesty!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Do you want to give birth to a festival envoy?" ”
