"As soon as Tokugawa Hidetada unified the country of Fuso, he began to covet North Korea, and even the Ming Dynasty wanted to swallow it in his mouth, this guy was really a little inflated, and he was not afraid to kill himself."

Xia Junze scolded after listening.

"Lord Shoufu is right, the people of Fuso are not enough to swallow elephants, and a small country still wants to annex a big country, I really don't know what to say. In addition, the Fuso Kingdom now seems to be unified on the surface, but the power in the hands of the daimyo of the various feudal clans on the ground is still not small, and although it is temporarily subjugated, if the war does not go well, they will immediately have internal strife. ”

Su Qin nodded in agreement.

Liu Ji also said: "Liaodong is the place where His Royal Highness has made his mark, and with General Ran Wu in charge, Fusang cannot become a climate. However, it is necessary to be wary of those remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Mongol tribes will take the opportunity to cause chaos. ”

After listening to the words of the three courtiers, Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "The king of Ran Wu's side has already told him to be on guard against Fusang. Su Qing, your Imperial Court should exchange information with Ran Wu in a timely manner, and this king will make a cheap will for Ran Wu, so that he can lead his army into the Korean Peninsula when he sees fit, and the three kingdoms of Korea will all be controlled by him. On the navy's side, let Deng Shichang also send a fleet over to guard against the invasion of Fusang at sea.

Once Fusang dared to enter the territorial waters of North Korea, Di Qing and Deng Shichang could attack at any time. In addition, since Fuso sent people to North Korea to spy on it, we should also exchange courtesies and send some people into Fuso to conduct intelligence investigation, infiltration, kidnapping, assassination, and even bribe the local daimyo of Fuso country, so that Tokugawa Hidetada can taste the feeling of a fire in the backyard. This matter, Su Qing, you go down and discuss it with Hu Ruzhen, and draw up a charter. ”

Hu Zongxian is now the governor of the General Staff, in fact, it is most appropriate for him to take charge of these things.

However, Hu Zongxian is not in Beijing now, but has gone to the troops below to inspect the training situation.

Su Qin nodded and took the order.

After the three of them retired, Jiang Chuan sent someone to call Chen Zhaojun, the chief manager of the Black Ice Terrace.

Although the Black Ice Station is now merged into the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff, it actually appears alone when doing things.

Chen Zhaojun arrived soon.

Jiang Chuan first asked about the Holy Maiden Nanzao Yunzi of the Holy Mother Sect that he had captured in Jining City, as well as the follow-up of the interrogation of the Qin Mu rebellion.

Chen Zhaojun said: "Your Highness, Nanzao Yunzi has all confessed, and the meticulous work of the henchmen she brought from Fusang Country this time has been completely clear. When she entered our country this time, she was arrested by His Highness before she had time to develop a few disciples, and she said vigorously during the interrogation......"

Speaking of which, Chen Zhaojun was a little embarrassed to continue.

Jiang Chuan asked curiously, "What did you say?" ”

Chen Zhaojun said with some hesitation: "She has always said that His Highness is not victorious, and she is still clamoring to fight with His Highness again." ”

Looking at Chen Zhaojun's appearance, Jiang Chuan knew that there was absolutely nothing good in the mouth of the Fusang woman, and Chen Zhaojun had obviously undergone secondary processing, which seemed to sound better.

"I don't know what to say, this is not a ring, but also a rule. Tokugawa Hidetada sent such a person over, it's just brain-dead," Egawa said disapprovingly.

"Is this woman still alive?" Jiang Chuan asked again.

Chen Zhaojun hesitated: "It's alive to be alive, but it's almost like dead." ”

This woman had her limbs broken with a musket by the regent, and she was tortured a lot after being sent to Hei Bingtai, but now she is alive because Hei Bingtai tortured her and invited Lang Zhong to treat her, so that she would not die too early.

As soon as Jiang Chuan saw Chen Zhaojun's appearance, he knew that the woman was probably about to hang up, shook his head and sighed: "I originally wanted to see if you could turn this Nanzao Yunzi against her and let her be used by us, but now it seems that I was too heavy at the beginning." Forget it, if you're dead, you're dead. What about Qin Mu? ”

Chen Zhaojun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Qin Mu was tortured, and basically everything he could say was said. According to the news received recently, the remaining parties under Qin Mu have also been wiped out. The subordinates have already sent people to investigate and arrest the remnants left behind by Qin Mu's father. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded, thought for a while, and said an idea that he had been brewing for a long time on the way back to Beijing.

"This Qin Mu still has something to say. He also has one of the biggest behind-the-scenes masterminds. You don't forget who he really is. Jiang Chuan looked at Chen Zhaojun and said in a deep voice.

Chen Zhaojun was a little dazed, and he didn't understand what the regent meant for a while.

Then Qin Mu has clearly recruited everything, could it be that His Royal Highness the Regent has other sources?

Thinking that there was such a big mistake in his work, Chen Zhaojun was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister is stupid, please punish His Highness!" ”

Jiang Chuan waved his hand to get him up, and said softly: "Think about it, you will definitely remember." ”

Chen Zhaojun calmed himself down, carefully considered what Jiang Chuan had just said, and suddenly blessed his heart, and suddenly understood the regent's intentions.

"It's the minister who is stupid. Fortunately, His Royal Highness reminded him that the minister would go back and interrogate that Qin Mu properly, and he would definitely let him explain everything to the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he would definitely not disappoint His Highness. ”

Jiang Chuan laughed: "Get up, this king believes that you can do a good job." But this matter is kept secret for the time being, except for you and me, understand? ”

Chen Zhaojun hurriedly kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "The minister understands. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded, and briefly said what he had just said to Su Qin, and asked Chen Zhaojun to go to the current selection of talents first.

The big charter has to be done by Su Qin and Hu Zongxian, and the specific things still need to be done by Chen Zhaojun.

Chen Zhaojun took the order and left.

After Chen Zhaojun left, Jiang Chuan walked to the window, looked at the tall ginkgo tree in the yard, and fell into deep thought.

When I first entered Beijing, I kept the emperor because I considered that I had just entered Beijing and my people's hearts were unstable, and I could still be a façade if I kept the emperor.

After all, he was under the banner of King Qin.

And now a year has passed, the world has been initially calmed, Li Zicheng is dead, Zheng Zhilong has fallen, and there is only one Zhang Xianzhong left, and it won't be long before he jumps.

The situation is stable, the people's hearts are slowly calming down, and their prestige is getting higher and higher in the government and the opposition.

Although there were some people who objected, such voices were extremely weak, and they were quickly drowned out in the middle of a wave of support for the emperor.

In this case, the meaning of the emperor's existence has become less and less.

It's just that Jiang Chuan hasn't started to abolish him, mainly because there is no suitable reason, and if he forcibly abolishes it, he will also attract a lot of infamy to himself.

Although Jiang Chuan didn't care too much, of course he didn't mind if he could do a little better.

Unexpectedly, this time Xia Jiangnan actually encountered such a thing as Qin Mu's rebellion, which suddenly gave Jiang Chuan a good excuse and reason.
