Cui Chengxiu didn't dare to answer, so he had to say: "The minister is ignorant, only His Majesty decides." ”

Chongzhen also knew that Cui Chengxiu was a way to protect himself, and he would not break it. It's no problem to kill and kill with a butcher's knife, but it's a problem to kill them all. What's more, Cui Chengxiu is just a little greedy, but under the government, Cui Chengxiu, like Shi Fenglai, belongs to the standard imperial party, and this kind of person still has to be retained.

Chongzhen, who was not very self-conscious, continued: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's talk about the situation in Liaodong." For example, Mao Wenlong, and Mr. Sun, did you tell you about the situation in North Korea? ”

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, General Mao, the situation is okay." It's just that Jiannu has been moving quite frequently recently, and it is estimated that he wants to conquer the Dongjiang River. Even North Korea was also threatened by the envoys of Jiannu. ”

Chongzhen snorted, these were all expected. The slave chief Huang Taiji, this dog thing is by no means a good character, it can be changed from the mode of the four major Baylors to discuss the government of the eight kings, and then to the later face of the south to become the emperor, laying the foundation for the construction of slaves to enter the customs, even if there are various coincidences, it is not simple. Even though he scolded this person with a dog on his mouth, he had to secretly admire this person's eloquence in his heart.

However, no matter how you toss, the worst result is just hanging on the southeast branch, and you can toss hard, plus the little things that the future generations know, you have to scold Huang Taiji.

Chongzhen, who was fixed, said: "For Jiannu, if Mao Wenlong is not eliminated for a day, he will be like a fish in his throat, and they will not dare to raise a large army to conquer North Korea, let alone knock on Daming." In this way, Jiannu must find a way to get rid of Mao Wenlong. ”

Cui Chengxiu responded and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, although the Dongjiang Town under Mao Wenlong's department is useless, and it cannot fight a field war with Jiannu, but if Dongjiang is not eliminated for a day, Jiannu will not be at ease for a day." What's more, Mao Wenlong's troops are now constantly attacking and harassing Jiannu, and although the results are mediocre, the disturbing Jiannu is very annoying. Kill one today, kill one tomorrow, how many Jiannu in Liaodong can there be? ”

Chongzhen said: "Yes, as long as Jiannu is not allowed to be stable, Mao Wenlong will be a great achievement." Under the constant attack, Jiannu is a fat giant, and he can also be dragged thin. This time, Yuan Chonghuan went to the Dongjiang River, and he went to Mao Wenlong? ”

Cui Chengxiu responded: "Your Majesty Shengming." Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong this time, but he was instructed by Huang Taiji, the chief of Jiannu, to get rid of this big trouble for Jiannu. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he sneered and said, "Da Ming has treated him Yuan Chonghuan lightly for half a point?" Now he is willing to be a lackey of Jiannu, and his heart should be punished for the sake of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Cui Chengxiu bowed his head and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true." ”

Cui Chengxiu's expected thunderous anger did not come, and he only heard Chongzhen say lightly: "That's it, let's not mention him first." Cui Aiqing told me, how is it in North Korea? ”

When Cui Chengxiu heard this, he replied: "Your Majesty, according to Mr. Sun, the Korean Ayayang Jun Li Liang is indeed the messenger sent by the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, and he has been killed with a knife after being tricked. ”

Chongzhen said: "I read the documents from North Korea, is this Ayayang Jun Li Liang really so hearty to me?" How is it between Korean scholars? Do you have a heart to build slaves? ”

Cui Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty, Ayayang Jun Li Liangbing admonished the former lord of North Korea, Gwanghaejun, according to common sense, to tell the truth, it is a big rebellion, I, as its suzerain, originally reprimanded him immediately, and even sent someone to guard his country. It's just that Guanghaijun Li Hui is mentally demented and has an ambiguous relationship with Jiannu. North Korea has always called itself Little China, and it is the Korean people who also believe that Gwanghae-jun is demented and should serve the Ming Dynasty loyally. ”

Chongzhen sneered in his heart, Li Hui is demented? It's okay to bluff children with this kind of, as the head of a country, Guanghai Jun Li Hui's choice is not wrong. North Korea is a small country and a widow, and the foundation of the country is a big thing, so what is the small China? Don't be funny, the two Korean devils in later generations are more fucked up than the Japanese devils.

It's just that, no matter what, the current Ayayang Jun Li Liang still needs to be appeased, Mao Wenlong is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the supply is not so convenient, if he is backed by North Korea, he will not fall into a rootless situation, and he can attack and harass Jiannu when he enters, and he can guard North Korea when he retreats, and he can still add blockage to Jiannu.

Moreover, the current North Korea can also be called a loyal dog with a heart to the Ming Dynasty, after all, the reason why Ayayang Jun Li Ju abolished Gwanghaejun Li Hui is disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, and a North Korea that wants to be left and right, a monarch who wants to promote his own culture, does not conform to the mainstream view among the Korean scholars at this time - the Ming Dynasty is the upper country of the Celestial Empire, and North Korea should serve the Ming Dynasty with the attitude of a descendant.

Moreover, a wise and martial monarch is not a good thing for North Korea. At least whether it is Daming or Jiannu, they don't want to watch Liaodong rise again to grab food.

Chongzhen, who figured out the joints here, simply smiled and said to Cui Chengxiu: "Yes, North Korea is really loyal." It's just that Cui Aiqing is the winter manager of the main killing after all, and I want to hear Cui Aiqing's opinion on the situation in Liaodong. ”

Cui Chengxiu understands that this is basically a temptation or test for Chongzhen himself, if he can satisfy Emperor Chongzhen, his position as the secretary of the military department will be stable, and it may not be possible to enter the cabinet in the future.

After calming down and thinking about it, Cui Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today's Liaodong can be described as a disease of scabies. Not to mention that I can strike down with one blow after training the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, even if I rely on the current form of Liaodong alone, it is enough to make Jiannu unable to eat and walk around. ”

Chongzhen, who rarely heard a minister say that he couldn't eat and walk around, was obviously very moved, so he asked: "Cui Aiqing, tell me, I listen." ”

Cui Chengxiu already had a draft at this time, and replied directly: "Your Majesty, the days in Liaodong are not easy at this time, the winter in my Ming Dynasty is cold enough, but in the land of Liaodong, the bitter cold is even worse." Jiannu is also short of food and clothing, plus North Korea, Dongjiang, North Korea, and His Majesty has just canonized the Xibe tribe of the Huguo Gongsuo, under the siege of several parties, the life of Jiannu is even more difficult. At this time, the only thing to worry about is that if Jiannu makes a desperate bet, raises a large army, and recklessly attacks the Dongjiang River and North Korea, once the rescue in the direction of our Daming Mountain Pass is not available, then North Korea and the Dongjiang River will be in danger. ”

Chongzhen sneered: "He Huang Taiji doesn't dare!" ”
