Chapter 44 The Plan for Pacifying the Widows
Seeing Chongzhen's order, Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is the cooperation of the Shuntian Prefecture, these displaced people will be properly resettled in a short period of time.
Seeing Wang Chengen retreat, Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Cihong and praised: "Hong'er, if you hadn't told me that there were homeless people outside the city, I am afraid that I would still be kept in the dark now!" I ordered the Shuntian Mansion to help the victims, but I really can't think of any good way for a while, so what is the clever plan for Hong'er? ”
Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said: "Back to my father, my sons think that this matter is difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. The invasion of the East China Sea coast by the Japanese is nothing more than unpassable, and in the final analysis, they are always just the people of the Japanese country. Every time they invaded our coastal area, they retreated early in less than two hours, so my Daming coastal garrison has never been able to find the nest of the Japanese invaders, so they cannot deal an effective blow to the Japanese who are invading our Daming coast. ”
"Yes, Hong'er analyzed it very comprehensively, continue."
"As the saying goes: shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before a king. We can do it without that much effort. Go find the base camp of the Wakos. Tell the Emperor of Japan about the situation of the coastal pirates. If it was changed before, my Ming might not be able to fight such a war, but with the gold and silver of the Jin merchants, and the material support of the Liu League, if my Ming Dynasty sent troops to Japan, it would be difficult for Japan to resist the offensive of my Ming Dynasty. ”
Chongzhen frowned after hearing this and said, "Hong'er, after a war, do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes. Besides, the price paid by our Ming Dynasty to defeat Japan is immeasurable. Besides, Japan's lack of resources has no benefit to my Daming at all. If the Japanese are forced too hard, and directly send a large army to attack the eastern coastal area of our Ming Dynasty, if the Jin people send troops south again, and the thieves take the opportunity to sneak attack the Beijing Division, if our Ming Dynasty fights on the third front, it will still suffer a great loss! ”
"Father, this is a mistake! Ototomi believed that Japan would not dare to go to war. Even if our Daming Naval Division does not land and fight, it only bombs the coastal areas of Japan, and the Japanese navy has no power to fight back against our Great Ming Naval Division. ”
"Second, for a long time in Japan, I have sent people to my Ming Dynasty to learn advanced culture and technology, and I also have a certain understanding of my Ming national conditions. Our Ming army is the second in today's world, and no one dares to call it the first. Japan must know this, so as long as we throw this issue to Japan and let the Japanese emperor solve the matter. ”
Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Hong'er, you are still too young, what if the Jin people unite with Japan?" What if the thieves take the opportunity to sneak attack the Jingshi? There is never a winner in a war, only the people on both sides suffer. Do you think that if I am strong, I will definitely be able to win? If we attack Japan, I know very little about Japan, my Ming is an invasion war, the people of Japan will definitely fight back against us, this day and place are favorable, I Ming did not occupy the same all, that is, you can occupy Japan, and the price to be paid at that time is also painful. ”
Zhu Cihong did not refute again.
Chongzhen saw that Zhu Cihong was no longer talking, worried that it would hit Zhu Cihong's confidence, and couldn't help but comfort: "But Hong'er, your method is not without merit, but you can't speak so strongly, like Japan has always claimed to be a vassal country of my Ming Dynasty, we can inform them of the coastal affairs, if their emperor doesn't deal with it, when our Ming army personally handles it, it will not just clean up the Japanese invaders." ”
After hearing this, Zhu Cihong hurriedly echoed: "Father's plan is very clever, so that the emperor will deal with this matter without us taking action." Because the lesser of two evils, the base camp of the Japanese invaders is in Japan, and it is simply effortless to let the Japanese emperor clean them up. In this way, we can solve the problem of the Japanese in the eastern coastal area without much effort, and the father is really wise, and the son is ashamed of himself! ”
After hearing this, Chongzhen touched his beard with a smile and said, "Hong'er, don't be discouraged. Your idea is still good, but language is also an art, you have to learn how to speak, how to use language to dig holes for others. Let others know that it is a trap, but have to drill into the trap you set for him. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Cihong hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "My son respectfully obeys my father's teachings. ”
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then asked, "Have you seen your concubine in the past few days?" ”
"Back to my father, my son just saw the emperor's sister today."
"I know you've been working hard all day, but she's always the closest to you, and you haven't taken the initiative to look for her since the last time you fell into the water. Sister-in-law, they all ran here to cry. ”
Chongzhen saw that Zhu Cihong wanted to speak and stopped, so he guessed what he wanted to say. So he said: "I know that you also want to save the crumbling Ming Dynasty, but if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, it is far from enough for you to do it alone." What's the use of being able to do it alone? There will always be people who will turn against you, especially when you have their interests in mind. ”
After speaking, Chongzhen sighed and said: "Since I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, I dare not relax every day, and I wish that one person could have three heads and six arms. It's just that my personal ability is really limited, after I got rid of the Wei Party and eliminated the Wei Party, I found that there was no one available, and the court was headed by Gu Xiancheng, and I put forward a policy on the front foot, and stood up against it on the back foot. ”
"Just like Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, who promised me to pacify Liaodong in five years, but what was the result? The Jin people are almost in Beijing City, and they are still painting me a dream of pacifying Liaodong in five years! I imprisoned him in a fit of rage, I want to kill him, there are few generals who killed him and really led his troops to fight, if I don't kill him, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”
"So, you should accompany your mother and the royal sister, and now the world is on my shoulders. When you look back and wear it on your shoulders, you just want to accompany your mother, I'm afraid you won't have time. ”
After listening to this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Chongzhen woke himself up at this time. Yes, no matter how strong a person's strength is, what is the use? Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and this three-year-old child understood the truth, but he still hadn't figured it out.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong lowered his head in shame and said, "Son, thank your father for his teachings!" ”
Chongzhen saw Zhu Cihong listen to his words, waved his hand with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's not early, you go down and rest." ”
"Yes, the retainers are retired!" After speaking, Zhu Cihong retreated.
