Jingshi, Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bai of the General Information Administration is waiting outside the palace to meet you!"

Bai Wangru? Looks like it's coming to fruition!

Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his hand: "Let him come in, you can also sit down and listen!" ”

Zhu Yunwen's last sentence was said to Xu Huizu, Song Sheng, and Wu Gao, and the three of them hurriedly responded.

After a while, a round and chubby figure walked in, kneeling on the ground and saluting, it was Bai Wangru.

Many years have passed, Bai Wangru has reached the age of standing, and is already a member of the third grade, but this official uniform is worn on him, always unspeakably awkward, although it is said that the body is nourished and recuperated, but Bai Wangru has not obeyed these laws, for more than ten years, has been that fat and lazy look, many officials in the court respect him on the surface, but in private they look down on him, thinking that he relied on the identity of the brother of the concubine to get the emperor's respect.

Bai Wangru himself did not deny this point, nor was he angry, so although his official reputation was average, no one was too directed at him.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials sent someone to find Chen Tianping, and a preliminary agreement has been reached!"

"Tell me about it!"

"That's right," Bai Wangru subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead - it was really hot outside, and then said: "Your Majesty, Chen Tianping agreed to lease the land at the mouth of the Baiteng River to Weichen at a price of 10,000 silver yuan per year, and at the same time use this land as collateral to borrow 1 million silver yuan from Weichen with a monthly interest of 5 percent. ”

White Tengjiang?

Xu Huizu and the others thought for a while, and their eyes immediately lit up.

"Well, and then what?"

"Then ......" Bai Wangru raised his head and said with an innocent look: "Then Weichen will follow His Majesty's instructions and say that he will match him and let the court officials communicate with him." ”

Looking at Bai Wangru's sad look, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile bitterly, Bai Wangru looked like this, I don't know how many people he deceived, but it's okay.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen groaned slightly, and then said: "Bai Wangru! ”

"The minister is here!"

"The errand of the General Information Administration, you can unload, I have appointed you as the plenipotentiary ambassador of Annan to pacify and plan to escort Chen Tianping back to China!"

"Remember, the treasury is empty, and the food is as much as possible for the enemy, do you understand?"

"Wechen understands!" Bai Wangru said with a loyal face.

"There shouldn't be too many people who know about this matter, it's only limited to the people here, and," Zhu Yunwen thought for a while: "Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Zhuo Jing are fine, don't expand anything else!" ”

"Yes!"

"Okay," Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief: "You've worked hard lately, go see your sister!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

......

After Bai Wangru retreated, Zhu Yunwen turned his head and said: "Generals, controlling Nanyang is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not advisable to be in a hurry, the local climate and epidemic diseases are the great enemies of our army, so I plan to gain a foothold in Annan first, step by step, and gradually control Annan." ”

"This matter is related to the Ming Dynasty's centennial plan, so the Military Aircraft Department must make all preparations in terms of generals, soldiers, equipment, supplies, epidemic prevention, etc., to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Listening to Zhu Yunwen's serious and cold words, Xu Huizu, Song Sheng, and Wu Gao quickly got up and knelt down, and even claimed that they were.

......

Today's Imperial Military Conference is small-scale, held every five days on average, and is attended by the emperor and the generals of the Military Aircraft Department, and the main content of the meeting is to summarize and look forward to the recent military operations and situation.

In addition to this kind of military meeting, there is also a larger military meeting in front of the Imperial Palace, the participants will increase the members of the Wenyuan Pavilion, the content of the meeting includes two, one is to let the members of the Wenyuan Pavilion understand the current military situation, and the other is to let the Military Aircraft Department and the Wenyuan Pavilion coordinate and ventilate the soldiers, grain and grass, etc., according to the custom, this kind of meeting is held once every half month.

The exception, of course, is the emergency military intelligence.

Therefore, there were not many participants, only Zhu Yunwen, Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and Wu Gao, and the rest of the personnel were Wang Gen and Xie Jin, who were responsible for the record, and Yang Shiqi and others did not attend the meeting.

Not surprisingly, the meeting was a summary of the situation in Japan, Korea, and Mongolia.

The situation in North Korea is relatively stable, and the rebel army has been forced into the mountainous areas of the northeast, lacking soldiers and food and grass supplies, and its destruction is just around the corner.

This is due to two points, the first is that the North Korean political envoy Zhang Zhen is very capable and has been relatively successful in pacifying various parts of North Korea, and his right-hand man Huang Fu has also helped a lot; The other is due to the brutal policies of the Ming Dynasty.

The latter reduced the indigenous population of North Korea by more than half, and of course they were not killed, but moved.

According to the decree of the imperial court, all the troops involved in the rebellion moved out of Korea and moved to the northeast, northwest, Waguo, Taiwan, and Qiongzhou Island to participate in the construction of local infrastructure.

For example, the construction of the railway in the northeast benefited from a large number of North Korean immigrants; In Taiwan's sugarcane forests and rubber forests on Qiongzhou Island, many North Korean people are also sweating and harvesting.

Later, there were some rebel armies in North Korea, they gathered in the mountains and forests, doing evil, preying on the common people, Wu Sheng's method of dealing with it was very simple, all those who had rebel armies nearby, whose families had children to join the rebel army, sympathized with and secretly supported the rebel army, the villages and towns where they were located were all moved away, and the rebel army could not rob the people, so it naturally became a source of water and a tree without roots, and could only retreat step by step, and finally went to extinction.

As for the Wa Kingdom, the armies of Sheng Yong and Qu Neng on the north and south were progressing relatively smoothly.

As of 21 August, Arutai had defeated Mitsusuke Akamatsu, Yoshio Kimura and others, and successively occupied the four provinces of Izumi, Hanoi, Yamato, and Kii; Qu Yu occupied Harima and Feiqian, captured White Flag City, and joined forces with Qu Neng's forward Cao Yudu; The Shao Yun tribe is steadily advancing and gradually advancing, and has occupied most of the Yamashiro country, and is expected to arrive in Kyoto within half a month.

Comparatively speaking, Qu Neng's progress on the northern route was slightly slower, because in addition to the Fourth Guards Army and two special operations battalions under his command, the rest of the troops were mostly Jurchen guards transferred from the northeast and Korean guards transferred from North Korea, as well as the attached Japanese army. Therefore, the way Qu Neng chose is to fight steadily, and has now controlled Nagato, Zhoufang, Anyun, Hizen, Hizhong, Higo and other places, and the next step will be to attack Izumo, Hakuki, Misaku, Taji, Harima, Tango, Tanba and other places, but it is expected that the time to arrive in Kyoto will be at least about half a month later than Shengyong.

Qu Neng was unable to encircle Kyoto with Sheng Yong, which made Zhu Yunwen a little disappointed, but he still forced himself to hold back, and ordered Sheng Yong not to wait for Qu Neng and attack Kyoto directly, but don't be impatient, it doesn't matter if Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the puppet emperor run away, the key is that the Ming army can't have too many losses.

As for Qu Tao and Chu Zheng in the northeastern part of the Wa Kingdom, progress was also relatively smooth, and the northeastern coalition forces under the command of Uesugi Kending had already occupied the Izuwa Province in the Akita Plain, while the Taiwang Zhu Yunxi led his escort to attack the Mutsu Kingdom, and the specific progress is not yet known.

According to the front-line battle report, the Japanese army was vulnerable in frontal combat, mainly because there were very few elite troops among the Japanese people, most of them were conscripted peasants, and even among these elite troops, there were very few people wearing iron armor, and most of the elites could only wear bamboo armor.

In addition, the Japanese people paid more attention to martial arts and were not good at group combat, although they would cause certain casualties to the Ming army in some parts, but they were often outnumbered, and these elite warriors often died in the chaos.

Of course, there were also some samurai who escaped alive and refused to be appeased by the Ming Dynasty, attacking the lone Ming army everywhere, which gave the front-line generals a headache, and they could only increase the intensity of conquest and suppression, and there was no other way.

Soon, however, Yang Rong suggested a system of relocation similar to that of Korea, and these heroic warriors soon disappeared, and some of them were informant by the villagers and then beheaded by the Ming army; Some samurai were beheaded by villagers in their sleep and sent to receive rewards.

In short, based on the experience of the Joseon and Wa countries, the relocation was costly but effective, and these migrants often became very docile after leaving their hometowns, which was praised by the officials of the destinations.

As for the blood and tears in the relocation policy, no one pays attention to it, because everyone is concerned about the peace in the jurisdiction.

The most difficult problem is Mongolia.
