King Fu's request was not difficult, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "If the emperor uncle has doubts, he can let the prince go to the Tang Kingdom to see how the Tang King is doing?" As for security, I will let Min Ge Lao be responsible, and there will be no problem. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for King Fu to reply, he turned his head to look at Zhu Yousong and asked, "How about it, there are some roads to Tang Kingdom, although the prince is relatively young, I don't know if he can withstand the fatigue of the journey?" ”

There was a hint of agitation in these words, and when King Fu heard it, he smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that this nephew emperor was not a simple person, and he couldn't guard against it when he talked and did things.

If it is normal, this matter is actually decided by King Fu. But when Emperor Chongzhen asked like this, Zhu Yousong immediately blurted out: "Back to Your Majesty, of course not!" ”

"Oh, it's okay for you to go to Tang Kingdom?" Emperor Chongzhen immediately confirmed.

Zhu Yousong listened, nodded immediately, and was about to speak, only to wake up that his father had not yet agreed! So, he couldn't help but bow down and look at him with his eyes.

In this case, what else could King Fu do, he could only nod and agree.

When Zhu Yousong saw it, he couldn't help but be a little excited. He was a little older than Tang Wang, but both of them were young people. Now that the Tang King has the Tang Kingdom, if what His Majesty said is true, he can inherit a throne from his father next, a kingdom that is truly the master of the house. One word, whoever you like will be promoted, and whoever you hate will be pulled out and cut, Jinkou Yuyan, do whatever you want......

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect what this little fat man was thinking, but gave King Fu a brief introduction to the situation in Annan, and said to him: "One thing to explain in advance is that the cost of changing the feudal state must be paid by the vassal king himself, that is, following the model of the Tang King, which proves to be feasible." After the prince went to the Tang Kingdom, if he had any questions, he could ask the Tang King for advice. ”

When King Fu heard this, he frowned, with a sad face, and when he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen expected what he was going to say, so he immediately said: "I will naturally think about Uncle Huang, and I will save more if I can save more expenses." Therefore, I decided to send Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Yunnan, Guichuan, to Guangxi to help Uncle Huang defeat Annan. What does Uncle Huang think, or do I need to change someone again? ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jianlu was raging, and the Ming army was defeated again and again, and even let Jianyu fight to the land of Gyeonggi, and besieged Jingshi. If you want to talk about the chaos in the border areas, it is natural to take Liaodong as the most. But in terms of scale, the Luxury Rebellion in the southwest is also very large. The difference between the two is that the Ming army in Liaodong is incompetent and cannot contain the captives; On the southwest side, it was Zhu Xieyuan who turned the tide. Therefore, because of the merits of the Lu'an Rebellion, Zhu Xieyuan was promoted from a political envoy of Xichuan to the governor of Yunnan-Guichuan, and also added a young master, Zuo Zhuguo.

Perhaps later generations have no concept of Zuo Zhuguo, but it is clear if you give an example. Taizu founded the country, Li Shanchang, and Xu Dafeng was the left pillar country; At the beginning of Zhengde, Liu Jian was awarded the title of Zuozhu State as a minister; In addition, there are Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, these are all the powerful first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, and they have this knighthood.

Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan's reputation is still very loud. Even King Fu, who only knows how to eat, drink and be merry, knows him.

At this time, as soon as King Fu heard that Zhu Xieyuan was going to help him fight Annan, he immediately had confidence and was happy in his heart, and when he was about to speak, Zhu Yousong spoke first: "Your Majesty, the governor of Denglai is the most powerful, I don't know ...... him."

From the beginning of Jianyu's invasion of Gyeonggi, Lu Xiangsheng began to emerge, against the fierce Manchu Qing, not only did not defend the city like others, but also often took the initiative to attack, making contributions again and again. His reputation is now the loudest time, and it is no wonder that Zhu Yousong wants to choose him.

Emperor Chongzhen spoke just now, although he politely asked if he wanted to be replaced. But King Fu knew that the emperor appointed Zhu Xieyuan and politely asked if he wanted to be replaced, but it was just polite. If you really want to talk about changing people, maybe the emperor will be unhappy. After all, Zhu Xieyuan is already very powerful, what is it to pick and choose?

However, this time King Fu thought wrongly, and saw that after Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Yousong, and he was not annoyed, but just explained with a smile: "Governor Denglai is good at horse warfare, and now he is on the battlefield in Liaodong, and he can't leave for the time being." Annam is located in the south, the climate is hot, mountainous, rainy, and wooded, which is completely different from the north. And Zhu Xieyuan's environment in the southwest generation is not much different from Annan's. I thought that if the Fuwang Mansion wanted to save costs and get the Fuguo at the lowest possible cost, Zhu Xieyuan would be the best choice! ”

When King Fu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was afraid that his son would be reckless, so he hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! ”

Zhu Yousong heard that the emperor made sense, and his son agreed first, so he didn't say anything himself.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that there was no problem with the candidates, so he discussed with them what to do in the early stage, such as allocating some money, setting up detailed work to go to Annam, collecting information on the geography of mountains and rivers, officials and soldiers, and so on. The rest of the things will have to wait for the prince of Fu Wang to come back from the Tang Kingdom.

Annan, on his side, is indeed not in a hurry. Zhu Xieyuan has not yet been transferred from the northwest, and the north and south are fighting in Annan, so they can consume it first, and the Ming Dynasty can also concentrate on solving the construction of Liaodong first.

After King Fu's father and son said goodbye and left, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group to read the news, and his power was relaxed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went online, he saw Liu Jinsheng send a private chat. Emperor Chongzhen clicked on it, and couldn't help but have a slight upturn in the corners of his mouth, hehe, not bad!

This private chat was actually sent by Zheng Zhilong to Liu Jinsheng. Zheng Zhilong's men returned from the Wa Kingdom and brought back news that there was a war going on on the island of Kyushu, which was close to Korea. It turned out that Toyotomi Kunimatsu, the grandson of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, suddenly rose strongly and already occupied half of the island of Kyushu. Under his command, there was an army that was very capable of fighting, much taller than the Japanese people, all of them were very brave, and they were good at dealing with the Japanese shotguns, and often killed the enemy completely. Now the Tokugawa shogunate attaches great importance to this, and while asking people to investigate the origin of that army, they are gathering heavy troops and preparing to send them to Kyushu to quell the rebellion.

Zheng Zhilong is very sure that this army is the army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He asked Liu Jinsheng to ask if he needed to inform the Tokugawa shogunate, or to unite with the Tokugawa shogunate to deal with the Manchu army. He believed that with the Manchu army helping Toyotomi Kunimatsu rebel first, the Tokugawa shogunate would agree to join forces with the Ming to deal with the Manchus.

Regarding the Manchu Qing Dynasty's dispatch of troops to the Japanese state, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew about it for a long time. Moreover, he was happy to see the Manchus and the Wa fighting each other, and was creating this trend, and he would drive more Manchus to the Wa in return. At this time, to inform the Japanese state and form an alliance with the Japanese state is not to shoot yourself in the foot!

However, Zheng Zhilong did not know this strategy, and it was not surprising that he would talk about dealing with the Manchus with the Wa State. Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly moved, he should send a member of the chat group to stay in the Wa Kingdom, and give feedback on the war situation of the Wa State at any time, so that he can easily grasp the situation in time.

Now there are a lot of people in the chat group, and there are also a lot of them in the south, so it is completely possible to investigate a person who asked Zheng Zhilong to take to the Wa Kingdom. Thinking so, he ordered Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, to tell him about this matter and let him deal with it.

After doing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turned to Liaodong Jianyu's side. Since the capture of Anshan Post Fort last year, there has been no major war, but the pressure on Liaoyang has been maintained. Fierce scout battles broke out from time to time in front, and the victory or defeat was also between five and five.

The reason why the victory rate is lower than that of the scout battle on Haizhou's side is not that the Ming army is not good, but that Liaoyang is the gateway to Shenyang, the capital of Jianyu, and there is no room for loss. Anshan Post Fort is only in charge of Amin, and it is only the horse of Amin's banner. But on the Liaoyang side, it is the exploration horse of the entire Jianyu Six Banners (the white flag and the inlaid white flag are in North Korea, so they are not counted). The reason why the scout battle can maintain a five-five victory rate is still due to the high morale of the Ming Dynasty and the well-equipped, as well as the support of the war horses and knights on the side of Guihua City. Otherwise, with these elites of Jianyu Tanma, the Ming army would still not be able to achieve a five-five victory rate.

On the Shenyang side, because Haoge secretly took refuge in Daming, no matter what his reason, at least on the surface, he has been constantly conveying news through Qian Fugui. This let Emperor Chongzhen know that Huang Taiji did not give up the struggle, and sent an army to the north, while plundering the Jurchens, while burning and looting, and looting all the populated places in the north to feed his army.

In addition, Huang Taiji also attached great importance to North Korea, and rewarded things to the emperor's brother Dolgon in North Korea three times and twice, and praised him with a will at the end of three days. The plundered Jurchens will also be rewarded with positive white flags and inlaid white flags. Of course, Huang Taiji also asked North Korea to transport some grain to Liaodong.

Emperor Chongzhen maintained a cautious attitude towards the news from Haoge and did not take any action about it. In fact, it was winter before, and this climate could not allow the Ming army to exert its strength. Jianyu was active in the north, and if the Ming army wanted to intervene in the past, the cost would be too great and unrealistic. As for going back and forth to North Korea, Emperor Chongzhen asked Lu Xiangsheng to send Lu Xiangsheng to verify it every time. There have been three verified reports so far, and all of the news from Hauge is true.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, suddenly the icon of Qian Fugui trembled, and a private chat was sent. When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he clicked on it and looked at it: "Emperor Taiji, the chief of the slaves, estimated that after the beginning of spring, the Ming Dynasty might take action, so he sent Bel Azig to Korea with a large number of raw Jurchens and a lot of property, demanding that as much grain as possible must be transported back within a month. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but before he could think of what to do with this message, the next private chat was sent again: "The Slave Chief Emperor Taiji received news from the North Korean side that a large amount of grain has been shipped from the Wa country. Moreover, in the previous exchanges, Huang Taiji had many invitations, and Dolgon also relented. This time, they sent Dolgon and Dordor's half-brothers over to bring as much food as possible. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he waited for a while, but he didn't see any continued private chats, and those were these two messages.

After the winter passed, Emperor Chongzhen actually had no intention of starting a war immediately. He wanted to take the expedition before the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to harvest, when the grain must be the least, and it should have twice the result with half the effort. However, Huang Taiji thought that it was not permissible to transport grain from North Korea to Liaodong. Or, this time, it's time for action!

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Wei Mulan's icon and informed Lu Xiangsheng of the news, asking him to send out Ye Bu to verify the news. If there is really an Azig who is going to North Korea with his birth and belongings, then don't startle the snake, wait for Azig to return from North Korea, and then choose a good location to start.

After the contact, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it again and felt a little funny. Huang Taiji definitely can't be so good to Dolgon, it should just be used. But that idiot Hauge can't see through this, the more Huang Taiji treats Dorgon, the emperor's brother, the more he will hate Huang Taiji in his heart, and he can't wait for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to perish as soon as possible. Huang Taiji is also a good opponent, but he has a pit father's son, hehe......

After laughing for a while, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the news, and suddenly found that the news on the Korean side was a bit untimely, and if there were people in the chat group over there, it should be very convenient to grasp the dynamics of the Korean captives.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, glanced at the series of numbers in the lower left corner of the chat group, smiled slightly in his heart, and began to click the add button again. According to the previous urine nature of the chat group, there should be a suitable newcomer!

Ten were added in one go, and when Emperor Chongzhen saw the name of the tenth newcomer, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar. After thinking for a while, thinking of the purpose of adding people this time, he suddenly remembered that this person named Wu Daji was a North Korean, who had been an envoy to Daming before, and he had seen him once.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious, this Wu Daji seemed to be very admired by the Ming Dynasty, and he was the main fighting faction against the captives in Korea. Now that Korea has been effectively occupied by the Manchus for so many years, he is still alive? Or did he change his original intention to support the Manchu Qing and survive?

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried, could it be the same name and surname? So, he directly chatted with Wu Daji privately: "Are you the North Korean official Wu Daji?" ”

I don't remember his official position, so if you ask like this, you should be able to ask if it is the Wu Daji in your memory.

After waiting for a while, Wu Daji replied: "Exactly, I don't know who the group leader is?" ”

The system instilled in him the background of the chat group, and at the same time, naturally made him understand that this Pudu sentient being is the owner of the chat group. Either way, his curiosity was inevitable.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that it was indeed the one in his memory, he asked curiously: "As far as I know, you seem to have a heart for the Great Ming, could it be that you have changed your original intention?" ”
