"Yes, the Sangha will definitely agree! If he dares not to agree, I will send the soldiers and horses of the Chahar and Tumut kingdoms to save Jungar...... Those two are the orthodoxy of the Golden Family! ”

Of course, Zhu Cihong will not let go of his good brother Zhu Cijiong!

How hard you can work! Among Zhu Cihong's many younger brothers, the most capable is Zhu Cijiong, who doesn't pit him? Originally, Zhu Cihong wanted him to go to Luzon Island to open up wasteland, but in his opinion, only Zhu Cijiong could fill the hole in Luzon!

Luzon is not the Golden Ou Army, nor is it Siam, nor can it compare to the twelve feudal states in the Strait of Malacca. Those places are supported by large areas of cooked land, and they are also on the South Sea trade routes, and there are not so many typhoons. So there is only one obstacle that migrants need to overcome, and that is malaria!

Go there and struggle, only if you don't die of malaria, you can make a lot of money!

Luzon has little land and is not on the South Sea trade route, although it is barely close to the Pacific Ring Trade Route. However, merchant ships from the Americas do not have to go to Luzon to add fresh water, they can add fresh water to Samar Island, which is closer to the shipping route, and then go directly to Taiwan and then to Shanghai.

Originally, because Spain had a monopoly and the Ming Dynasty did not open the country, Manila prospered. But now that these two favorable conditions are gone, the merchant ships that sail the Pacific tend to take long breaks in Shanghai or Nagasaki instead of Manila, where the heat and humidity are high, and there is a threat of malaria, and there are no important trade goods.

Therefore, it is not easy to develop Luzon, and the benefits are not large, and it belongs to a place that will not only kill you, but also make no big money. There must be a prince who can make careful calculations to run it, and among the kings of the clan, that is, Zhu Cijiong, the "third prince of Zhu", has this ability.

But Zhu Cijiong was too cunning and refused to jump into the pit on Luzon Island, and gave the pit to Chongzhen - that was his own father, such a pit father is simply disobedient and unfilial!

Emperor Zhu hates the unfilial son the most, so he must take a good look at this younger brother.

"Second brother, yesterday afternoon, the envoy of the Jungger Kingdom arrived in Yingtian and came to ask for help!" Zhu Cihong paused, the expression on his face was already solemn, "The Timurid Empire, the Persian Empire, the Khiva Khanate, the Rakshasa Empire, the Turkmen tribes, and the Kazakh tribes have joined forces to besiege Dzungar!" Seng Geba Wangzhen sent troops to save him, how could he be reluctant to give up a few pieces of mountainous land? ”

"What the royal brother wants is ......"

"It is the mountain area that follows the Anxi Army and the Beiting Army, which belongs to one of the Tianshan Mountain Ranges, centered on a valley and lake."

"This ......" Zhu Cijiong frowned, "Does the imperial brother still want to attack the Beiting Army?" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "It's just a nest for them!" After the monk fights the battle in front of him, the place will expand a lot, and there are only a few Mongols under him? How can I finish eating? It is better to let the Beiting and Shuote Department also join in, so that there can be several more tens of thousands of households. When the Beiting and Shuote Ministries move their nests, they will give you the Beiting Protectorate...... Allow your family to be hereditary for three generations! ”

Three generations of hereditary Beiting Army? You're going to cheat me!

Zhu Cijiong is angry!

How good it is that Datong has already been developed, the population is large, and there are many unlucky people with green flags to oppress - these are sinners, and they are relatively capable!

Zhu Cijiong was not a good king either, neither curing them for their sins, nor forgiving their sins, but also enclosed most of them in Datong Mansion and let them rent land in the Duhu Mansion and the Royal Mansion to atone for their sins. He also selected wise and capable people to join the Daiwang Trading House, or raised horses and sold horses for him, or ran a business for him, or made iron tools for him...... The business of the Acting King's Mansion is doing so well, and most of the credit is due to these atoned people!

Now the good Datong Mansion has become the place where the birds don't in the Beiting Army, and those broken valleys in the Tianshan Mountains must be added...... There is no one in the world who cheats on your brother like you!

"Brother Huang," Zhu Cijiong is not stupid, he has to quickly climb out of the pit, "Jungger soldiers are strong and strong, there are 12 thousand households, no less than 200,000 people with armor, and there is enough food and grass, weapons are sufficient, and I am not afraid of any six-nation alliance." The monk's request for help is just asking for a name, which can be made with great fanfare, and it does not really want us to send troops. ”

"No, no," Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "the Timurid Kingdom, the Persian Kingdom, and the Turkmen tribes are indeed not terrible, and with the strength of the monks, it is more than enough to deal with them." But the Khiva, the Kazakh tribes and the Rakshasa are not easy to deal with! In particular, the Rakshasa and Kazakhstan joined forces...... The Sangha is in big trouble right now, so we have to send troops!

And you are the only one who can deal with the complex situation, deal with the combined forces of Rakshasa and Kazakh, and at the same time look at the three Mongol vassal states of Dzungar, Tumut and Chahar. ”

The situation in and around the Kingdom of Jungar is very complex, not only militarily, but also politically, diplomatically, and economically. Therefore, if you can go to the rescue of Zhungar and then put the plate of Beiting and the Tianshan Domain, you must be an all-rounder who can deal with all of them in military, politics, economy, and diplomacy. Therefore, the generals under Emperor Zhu are not very good, and only Wu Sangui and Zhu Cijiong can deal with it.

"Then let Wu Sangui go, he has been in the northwest for a long time, he is familiar with the situation, and he has a good relationship with the Quasi-Ministry and the Heshuo Special Department." Zhu Cijiong said, "Why don't I go to Guanzhong to supervise the army and let him go to the aid of Zhunger, this will always work, right?" ”

"No, no." Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again, "He can't deal with the Rakshasas, and the Rakshasas are also enemies of the two vassal states of Tumut and Chahar!" Wu Sangui has the ability to command the troops of the three vassal states of Zungar, Tumut, and Chahar? ”

Zhu Cijiong shook his head, Wu Sangui had a good relationship with the Zhun Ministry, but he was not close to Tumut and Chahar, and he did not know the situation of these two feudal states.

Emperor Zhu said again: "And our relationship with the Rakshasa is very complicated...... It's not that you live or die, no one can help anyone. The struggle between the two sides is only to fight for a little more interests in Siberia, and after the struggle is over, it is still necessary to live in harmony.

Because only when the two sides are in harmony, can the Western Regions and Mobei be profitable! It is profitable, so that it can be stable for a long time! ”

Zhu Cijiong frowned, "Brother Huang, these Rakshasas are very vicious, many Mongolian tribes in the north have been slaughtered by them, they are really cruel to the extreme!" Let's make peace with the Rakshasa , I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "The Rakshasas are indeed vicious, but if they want to make profits in the Mobei of the Western Regions, they have to open up trade routes. Now shipping is prosperous, and it is not possible to transport things by land to Persia, Ottomans, Tianzhu, Western Europe, as well as the Baltic and Mediterranean coasts, and the cost is too high to be profitable. The only thing that works is to trade with the Rakshasa Kingdom...... The sale is not big, but it is better than nothing. ”

The current Rakshasa country has not yet taken the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, and the relations with Poland, Sweden, and the Ottomans are not good, so the trade route to the west is not very easy. In this case, the overland trade routes in the East turned out to be profitable.

Emperor Zhu paused, and then said: "In addition, although we and the Rakshasa Kingdom have disputes in Siberia and the Mughostan area, in the long run, the two countries are friends rather than enemies, so after the fight, they have to become friends, and it may even be to conclude an alliance." Do you think Wu Sangui can handle such a thing well? ”

"An alliance with Rakshasas?" Zhu Cijiong was stunned, "Brother Huang, why is this?" ”

Zhu Cihong's face was solemn, and he said to Zhu Cijiong: "After all, Rakshasa is a big country in Europe, with a vast land and a large population...... The only one who can compete with the mighty France and Ottomans in the west is the Rakshasas! And the only one who can turn enemies into friends for me and turn the Rakshasa Kingdom into a key chess piece for us in the west, is you, the third brother!

As long as the third brother is willing to go on this trip, if there are any requirements, as long as the court can take it, I will definitely have no second words!

As for the third brother's plate in Datong Mansion, I also kept it, and the post of envoy of Anbei Jiedu can be taken over by Hebao, so it's okay, right? ”

Zhu Hebao is the son of Zhu Cijiong, born in the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, and just turned 20 this year before graduating from Nanjing Jiangwutang. But his son is not the "son" of the envoy of the Anbei Festival, but the son of the king of Kenandai. Now Zhu Cihong has asked Zhu Hebao to take over the position of envoy of Anbei Jiedu, which can be said to be a big concession.

Zhu Cijiong will not go to the northwest to fill the pit, but he will not be a good brother...... He can not be the good son of Emperor Chongzhen, but he must not be Zhu Cihong, the good brother of Emperor Hongxing!
