Zhu Xu had a smile hidden in his eyes, looked at Shang Lian, nodded slightly, and said, "I deeply admire the prime minister for having such a heart for the country." If you can make such a sacrifice, I can't turn a blind eye. I can promise you that no matter what the plan of the cabinet and the military department is, the army that will remain in Shuri will definitely not be less than 3,000 men! In addition, I will order the military department to increase troops in the Satsuma Domain, and if the Wa Kingdom wants to invade the Ryukyus, it must first attack the Satsuma Domain, and if the Satsuma Domain is attacked, our Ming navy will rush to the aid as soon as possible to ensure that the Ryukyu are not in danger! ”

Although there were fewer than 3,000 people, with the Satsuma Domain in front, Shang Lian was still overjoyed, and knelt down and said: "His Majesty Emperor Xie Yingming Shenwu has protection and mercy on my Ryukyu, and my Ryukyu will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never change!" ”

The big stone in Shang Jing's heart slowly landed, got up gently, and looked up at Zhu Xu.

This was the first time she had looked at His Majesty the Ming Emperor at close range and seriously. It was completely different from what her father had said, and it was nothing she had imagined. This Ming emperor did not have the legendary decisiveness, wisdom, strategic advancement, and acting aggressively, but was indecisive, short-sighted, and unfounded, which made her feel disappointed.

She sighed secretly in her heart, and planned to go back and talk to her father not to let her enter the palace. Her ideal husband is a great man who is strategizing and acting decisively, and the Ming Emperor in front of her is not worthy of her.

Zhu Xu nodded lukewarmly, turned his head to look at Li Lian and Li Hui, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Kun and Li Hui glanced at each other, and a thin cold sweat appeared on their heads.

This is a dilemma, and it is now placed in front of them, if going to the country is equal to the death of the country, and not going to the country is still the death of the country, the only difference is whether North Korea is still in their hands.

Now the Ming has an army of 30,000 in Pyongyang and a naval base in Jeju with a number of 2,000. Although I just watched the Ming Dynasty's military drill today, and knew that the Ming army was disciplined, the artillery was sharp, and the combat power was extraordinary, it was impossible for the 30,000 people in Korea to stop the more than 100,000 troops of the Japanese State! They still remember the events of decades ago, the cruelty and ferocity of the Japanese country, and the lack of grass everywhere they passed, they tremble when they think about it.

We must not allow the DPRK to fall into the hands of the Japanese state again!

This is the heartfelt words of Li Liang and Li Hui, but they will not agree to go to the country until they have to go to the country.

Li Wei raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if we can discuss this matter after returning to China and then reply?" ”

Zhu Xu shook his head decisively and said: "You should know the current situation, the reform of our dynasty will be determined in the next few days, once it is decided, it is difficult to change, and the two lords need to make plans as soon as possible." ”

Li Lian, Li Hui frowned, it was still difficult to make up his mind, and finally said in unison: "Yes, the ministers will make a decision as soon as possible, and present it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, turned to Zhang Yun and said, "Queen, it's time to serve." ”

Zhang Yun responded, signaling to the palace maid not far away, the palace maid turned around, and immediately one by one the palace maids came in with plates, and placed the plates in front of the tables, the plates were made by the top chefs of the Ming Dynasty, with all the color, flavor, small and exquisite.

The lobby was suddenly filled with the aroma of appetizing wine and food, and they couldn't help but look at the falling plates.

But soon everyone suppressed their appetite, their throats twitched, their eyes flickered, and they looked at Zhu Xu again.

The two heads of the DPRK were so preoccupied that they had no appetite at all, and they sat there, their brows furrowed and their faces changed.

In his opinion, the direct threat of the Ming Dynasty is now in Chahar, and the Wa State is nothing, and the battle against Chahar is imperative!

Chahar's envoy Andasan saw everything just now, and wondered in his heart whether the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal from Korea and Ryukyu was to conquer them Chahar, and the Ming Dynasty had already revealed the rumors that it would be decisive on April 1st!

'I don't know if Nikru didn't ...... when he saw the Great Khan' Anda Shan looked at Zhu Xu, his heart was as heavy as a mountain.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is different from the past, whether it is firearms or morale, this is really a decisive battle, and the number of victories and defeats is really unpredictable.

That is, Shang Lian of the Ryukyus, Shang Jing's father and goddess are slightly better, and the Ryukyus are still blocked by the Satsuma Domain, and if the garrison of the Ming Dynasty does not leave, with the combat power and firearms of the Ming army, it is enough to protect the Ryukyus!

Zhang Yun played the role of mediating the atmosphere, and was just about to speak, when suddenly, the envoy of Nanzhang stood up angrily and said angrily to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the great emperor, the subordinate has something to say!" ”

Zhu Xu was still bold when he should be bold, and said directly, "Your envoy, please speak." ”

This envoy was very tall and white, his eyes were full of anger, he bent down slightly, and said: "I came to the south to be respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and I have not offended in the slightest, I don't know why the general of your country has repeatedly invaded, killed my people, and occupied my city?" ”

Zhu Xu frowned, his face was indifferent, and said, "There is such a thing?" Name the person. ”

The lobby was instantly silent, and many people's eyes turned to Dolgon, who was below. They have been in the capital for many days, and they have already communicated with each other, and they also know about the affairs of Nanzhang.

At the same time, everyone was suspicious in their hearts, was this matter an intentional attack on Nanzhang by the Ming Dynasty, or was this general unruly?

Hard!

Everyone's eyes turned on the faces of the three of Nanzhang Emissary, Zhu Xu, and Dolgon.

Dolgon's expression was calm, and he sat there as if he had not moved, and the silence was frightening.

The face of the envoy of the southern palm has always been contemplative, and he is also doubting in his heart, this is the intention of Da Ming. He had been in contact with many officials in the Ming Dynasty before, whether it was the Ministry of War or the Cabinet, all of them were flickering in their words and refused to tell the truth.

However, he still wanted Emperor Daming to give a truth, so that Nanzhang could judge what to do next.

The envoy of the Southern Palm raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu, the corners of his mouth moved, and then said in a deep voice, "Dolgon." ”

Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly looked at Dolgon and said, "Dolgon! ”

Dolgon immediately stepped out, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister has no intention of invading Nanzhang. The remnants of Annan fled into Nanzhang, protected by Nanzhang, and were inexhaustible, often threatening the peace and stability of Nannan, and the ministers sent letters to Nanzhang many times, asking them not to shelter the remnants of Annan and hand over the rebels, but Nanzhang turned a deaf ear, and the ministers were not allowed to send troops to attack. ”

Zhu Xu frowned slightly, turned to the envoy of Nanzhang, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Your country is protecting Annan's rebellion?" ”

The face of the envoy of the southern palm changed slightly, but he didn't expect Dolgon to come up with this excuse, and his expression couldn't help but change.

The relationship between Nanzhang and Annam is extraordinary, although Annam has long existed in name only, but it is still closely related to various military towns, this time the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops, one by one, to everyone's expectations, and so on, Siam and so on to react, Annam has been destroyed.

Since their country is not peaceful now, there is civil unrest everywhere, and the rebels occupy a lot of territory, and it is not the king of Nanzhang who takes in a few 'remnants' of Annam! But Dolgon didn't recognize this, and focused on the territory of the king of Nanzhang, and there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding with their domestic rebellion!

Seeing Zhu Xu's unkind face and changing expression, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, my country has no intention of sheltering Annan's rebellion, please leave it to my Nanzhang to deal with, your country will take a truce, and within a year, you will definitely give Your Majesty an explanation." ”

Zhu Xu looked at the envoy for a long time before slowly turning to Dolgon, and said, "Dolgon, you know the situation in Annan best, what do you say?" ”

Dolgon knelt down, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers can dismiss the army, but Nan Annan is afraid that there will be no more peaceful days." ”

Between Annam and Nanzhang, like the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, there is a continuous mountain range, and it is not until South Annam can border. Therefore, there is peace in North Annan, and there is no military disaster.

The envoy of Nanzhang hurriedly turned to Dolgon and said loudly, "I promise the general that from now on, our country will make every effort to deal with the affairs of the rebels in Annam, and ensure that they will not cross the border, and within a year, it will be appropriate, please rest assured that the general will not stop his army!" ”

Dolgon opened his mouth to speak, but Zhu Xu waved his hand decisively and said, "Dolgon, since the envoy of Nanzhang said so, I order you to stop the army, and in the next year, you must not fight with Nanzhang again!" ”

The envoy of the southern palm was overjoyed, first raising his hand to Zhu Xu, and then looking at Dolgon.

As the saying goes, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and no matter how majestic the Ming Emperor is, it depends on the local people in charge of the army.

Dolgon bowed his head without hesitation and said, "Obey the order!" ”

The envoy of Nanzhang was overjoyed, saluted Zhu Xu, and said: "Thank you for the kindness and generosity of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and I wish the Ming Dynasty to be prosperous and prosperous, and the country to be immortal!" ”

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It is my unshirkable responsibility to maintain the feudal country, please sit down, you raise your glass, today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

The envoy of Nanzhang was naturally grateful, holding a wine glass, and saluting Zhu Xu from afar.

The envoy of Nanzhang thought that the matter was settled, and most people also felt that Zhu Xu's handling was fair, and they admired it, and they all raised their glasses with a smile.

But there were two people with different expressions, one was Korqin Khan Badali, his eyes were shining, and he was full of joy. One was Andashan, the envoy of Chahar, who was dripping in a cold sweat.

The rumors of the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon is from Shen. Yang out, attack Chahar, in Badali, this is the Ming Dynasty's determination to crusade against Chahar! For Andashan, Dolgon has escaped, and the Ming Dynasty's crusade against Chahar is already a certainty!

April 1st!

Two people, one has a great appetite, and the other can't swallow.

Zhang Yun commanded the palace maid to serve the food, and seeing that the 'government affairs' were over, she began to speak, giving some things to reconcile the atmosphere in the lobby.

Some of the people laughed happily and cooperated, some were difficult to toast and drank bitter wine, and some were simply forced to laugh and not know the taste of food.

Zhu Xu looked at these people with a smile, his eyes flickering slightly. The envoys and lords of the north, east, south, and west of the Ming Dynasty are the ones occupied by Moxi Mongolia.

The feast, on the whole, was quite successful, beginning in harmony and ending in harmony.

Envoys, the lord of the country is quite inseparable, looking at the back of Zhu Xu leaving, his expression is quite complicated.

The current Ming Dynasty seems to have returned to two hundred years ago, when Emperor Chengzu called the world, dare not disobey, fight in the south and in the north, and never be invincible!

The current Da Ming, although His Majesty the young emperor seems to be calm and tolerant, but no one is a fool, plus the drastic changes of the Ming Dynasty in less than ten years, who dares to underestimate him?

A group of envoys and lords of the country all left one after another with heavy worries and the smell of wine, and each returned to the room where he was scheduled to rest, still unable to sleep peacefully, tossing and turning.

Zhu Xu also drank a lot, and after Zhang Yun took off her clothes and changed into regular clothes, she sat on the chair and let out a long breath.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was tired, Zhang Yun came over and rubbed his shoulder, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already asked people to cook sobering soup, wait a while, and you can sleep." ”

Zhu Xu looked ahead, shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, I have to go back to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Yun was stunned, in her opinion, the banquet just now was completely in Zhu Xu's hands, and there should be no problem. Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask, just rubbed Zhu Xu's shoulders a little harder.

Zhu Xu sat there, still thinking in his heart.

The Ryukyu matter was basically resolved, and it will slowly develop in the future, and the integration will be, but it is North Korea, which is somewhat unexpected by him.

The so-called more than 100,000 troops of the Japanese Kingdom gathered on Jiuguo Island, which is naturally an exaggeration, and there are Ming Dynasty operating in the shadows, in fact, there are only 40,000 or 50,000, mainly to suppress the increasingly fierce civil rebellion near the island. These revolts were traced by the Ming Dynasty and the Satsuma Domain, so they were more difficult to quell than in history, and the Tokugawa shogunate was mobilizing more troops.

Sooner or later, the purpose of the Tokugawa shogunate will be exposed, and the attitude of North Korea will definitely change dramatically at that time, and this opportunity will be missed.

"It seems that we have to continue to exert pressure...... Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and whispered to himself.

At this time, in Kun. On the official road outside the Ming Dynasty, there were huge carriages, pulled by three or four big horses, two side by side, galloping north.

In these carriages, there are more than 30 soldiers, and from the equipment and clothing, they look like the cavalry of Jiannu.

These carriages traveled for miles, unimpeded, and galloped at the fastest speed.

The road has already been arranged, and this is an attempt by the military department to transport soldiers, horses, grain and grass over long distances and quickly. Due to the cement road, there is no fear of mud and can go all the way. The post station on the road has long been prepared with places, horses, grain and grass to replace and rest.

The soldiers of the military department are observing, recording and solving the problems encountered in real time.

This is an attempt, which is very important to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also related to the future military arrangement, combat methods and methods, yes, even at this time, the Ministry of War and the cabinet did not let go of this opportunity.

At the same time, the imperial newspapers in the capital and the emergency nicknames of the six newspapers were also quickly published and quickly distributed to the streets and alleys of the capital.

Starting from the nature and purpose of this military exercise, the court newspaper said that 'Wu Yi Cheng He, Wu Yi Wei Peace, Wu Yi Chang He', and propagated that the purpose of this military exercise of the Ming Dynasty was to defend the Ming Dynasty, defend peace, and defend the vassals. The idea is grand and far-reaching, and it also puts forward the argument of 'the Ming and the domain are one, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold'.

The newspapers of the six ministries talked about the importance of this time from various angles, shouting about the Ming Dynasty's armed forces, warning the young, and expressing their unswerving determination to promote the 'New Deal'.

The cabinet, the six ministries all have their own thoughts, and they are fully expressed in the newspapers.

This quickly caused a heated discussion in the capital, and the people were naturally excited, and the country's strength was everyone's wish.

But soon, a piece of music flew into the cabinet, the celebrant supervisor, the cabinet, and the celebrant had to pay attention to it, because this was a joint transcript, inside and outside the court, up to dozens of people, there was no shortage of Shangshu before the apocalypse, Shilang, Langzhong, to the matter, the imperial history and the great Confucianism in the opposition, the famous house of the voice.
