In March of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Sen received news that he did not expect: Huang Taiji officially canonized the crown prince and announced amnesty again. The crown prince was named the eighth son of Aisin Jueluo Fulin www.biquge.info, who had just been born.

When he learned the news, Zheng Sen was very annoyed and confused for a while, although in history Fulin did become the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But it seems that Huang Taiji did not canonize him as a prince before his death. Even after Huang Taiji's death, Fu Lin was able to become emperor, which was completely the product of the contradiction and compromise between the two yellow flags and the two white flags.

Zheng Sen had seen too few Qing court dramas in his previous life, especially the stories of the four corners of the triangle and the four corners of the triangle such as Da Yuer, Xiao Yuer, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon, so he was naturally not familiar with the rankings of those elder brothers in the Manchu Dynasty, and he barely knew that the busiest Yongzheng in the Qing court dramas later was the fourth, and as for the ranking of the later Shunzhi Emperor, he really didn't know. Otherwise, he would have been astonished - because the Shunzhi Emperor, Aisin Jueluo Fulin, was the ninth son of Huang Taiji, and he was born on March 15, and Zheng Sen got the news on March 16, and given the speed with which the news spread, Huang Taiji's decision may have been made in February or even earlier.

Therefore, if it is a guy who is full of big jade and little jade and something like that, maybe he will be able to understand in a very short time: this blessing is not another blessing. But Zheng Sen couldn't do that. So at first, although he was surprised by the news, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It wasn't until May that more detailed new information came from Yuri's side.

Yuri again arrived in the Manchu-controlled area in February of that year, and this time he did not land directly from Jinzhou by boat, but came by land on the other side of the Yalu River, because before that, the sea route of Jinzhou had been completely cut off by the combined fleet of Zheng Zhihu and the "Dutch East India Company".

In the first month of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhihu, the commander of the Denglai Water Battalion, who had just arrived, led a fleet to carry out a fairly tight blockade of the Manchu coastline with the cooperation of the "Dutch East India Company", sank and captured many Manchu ships. The Manchus, on the other hand, adopted the policy of retreating to protect their ships, and their surface forces were fully reduced back to their own ports, and they basically did not sail. Because the "Dutch East India Company" had made a lot of contributions in the previous war against the Manchus, so, in order to reward their righteous deeds, the imperial court allowed them to establish a trading hall in Jinghai and trade with our Ming Dynasty.

So Zheng Zhihu asked the imperial court for war and asked the marshal army to attack Jinzhou in order to completely eliminate the Manchu sea power.

However, this request was shelved by the imperial court, of course, the imperial court did not directly say that it could not do so, but all kinds of logistical support they asked for were denied. The reason is that the imperial court cannot come up with the money for the time being. Of course, in fact, the lack of money is certainly one reason, but the bigger reason is actually because during this year, the imperial court needs to concentrate on the decisive battle against the "Liukou". Therefore, it is necessary to avoid a two-sided situation. Therefore, Chongzhen and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, both felt that at this time, they should not stimulate Jianzhen too much. Although a tight naval blockade was necessary because Jian Yan could not be allowed to have more advanced artillery under any circumstances, Chongzhen and Yang Sichang were worried that this would trigger Jian Yan's re-entry into the harbor controlled by Jian Yan, so they naturally did not support this. It's just that this can't be said explicitly, so it can only be stopped by card logistics.

Although the plan to attack the Golden State was not carried out, the naval blockade of the Manchus still had to be carried out in earnest. So it was now impossible for any ship to enter the Manchu-controlled ports, and the "Dutch", who had previously claimed that "freedom of navigation" was a natural right, became the most active force in carrying out the blockade mission (taking the opportunity to train sailors). Therefore, Yuri naturally could not go directly to Jinzhou as before, but first found an opportunity to go to the Korean side, and then entered the Manchu control area.

However, this time, Yuri's treatment after arriving in the Manchu-controlled area was very bad, and he was imprisoned as soon as he appeared, and then he was interrogated. But he was soon released. The ostensible reason is because Huang Taiji canonized the crown prince and granted amnesty to the world. But after Yuri came out, he was immediately summoned by the Manchu high-ups, and seeing that the amnesty or something was just an excuse to let him out.

Yuri himself had expected this. The Manchus had suffered a loss in their previous purchase of cannons on their own, and it was certainly normal to suspect themselves. But Yuri was sure that the Manchus weren't sure if it was because they sold the Manchus or because they were unlucky. Because although the previous plan to transport the cannon by itself was indeed proposed by Yuri, Yuri's attitude was the most resolute among all those who opposed this plan. At that time, Yuri's attitude seemed to the Manchus mainly because he wanted to make more money by monopolizing transportation. But now it seems that Yuri's opposition seems to have a good conscience. Besides, Yuri is now on the territory of the Qing Dynasty, which shows that he does not intend to pit the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, another reason why Yuri was able to come out so smoothly was because of a noble person who rescued him.

According to the gossip that Antiba told Yuri, he was able to get out of prison without suffering much because:

"A few days ago, the prince had a serious illness, coughed very badly, vomited as soon as he ate, couldn't sleep all night long, and lost weight all of a sudden, and many doctors were worried that the child would not be saved."

"Cough? So why don't you bless? Longevity. What about the anointment? Yuri asked.

"Isn't it?" Amba said, "Everyone thinks so, but those imperial doctors know that your medicine is a tiger and wolf medicine, and this toxicity is not small." It's not surprising that they eat the dead. No one dares to guarantee that the prince is so small, and this body and bones will not be able to withstand this tiger and wolf medicine. In case, just in case of a dose of medicine, then the prince will ...... So who can afford to hold them accountable? Therefore, none of those imperial doctors dared to prescribe this medicine to the prince. As for the emperor and Concubine Chen, they are not doctors, so naturally they don't dare to give this to the prince, right? Later, I heard that until the crown prince was no longer good, the emperor was anxious, and asked those imperial doctors if they must not use blessings. Longevity. Cream, other ways can not cure the prince. As a result, the doctors did not dare to answer. You think, what a wise person our emperor is, when he sees the imperial doctors like this, he immediately understands. Let people beat those imperial doctors severely, and then give the prince a little blessing. Longevity. ointment, then, the prince stopped coughing, he could sleep and eat, and then the doctors used some medicine, and then, the prince looked at it and got better, and slowly became fat, and it was all right. Therefore, the emperor also sighed and said: 'The imperial doctor can only be used to treat minor diseases, and he cannot protect himself from major diseases, but if he really has a serious illness, relying on the imperial doctor to treat it is mostly unreliable, because they dare not take any risks, and they dare not use any powerful medicine, so how can they cure serious diseases well? ’。 The emperor also said: 'There are some talents, just like this blessing. Longevity. If the ointment is used indiscriminately without knowing the properties of the medicine, it can poison a large group of people casually, but if it is used correctly, it can save lives. If you are the master of people, if you are like those imperial doctors, you can at most be a king of success, and if you want to become a king of creation, you can't use such a talent well. At that time, Concubine Chen asked who were like this. Longevity. Anointing the same talents. As a result, the emperor was the first to think of you...... And so you come out. ”

So Yuri once again became a guest in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As for his business, at least for the time being, he can't do it. When Hauge asked him if there was a way to bring in some other important materials, such as pig iron, such as copper, Yuri answered honestly:

"Lord, you can't do this. I've heard that your ship was intercepted last time - I don't know how you did it, I told you that you were caught, and it was better to blow up the ship than let the people of the Ming Kingdom know that it was carrying cannons. You're good, you were caught with all the cannons. Now the Ming people immediately compromised with the Dutch, and I heard that the Ming country agreed to make a deal with the Dutch, and let the Dutch and the Zheng family of Fujian block this side of the sea together. The ability of these two families at sea is not comparable to those naval forces of your country, even if it is my ship, in the current situation, it is estimated that it will be planted nine times out of ten. If that's the case, in order not to lose money, the price I can give is absolutely sky-high. I think you can come up with such a price and go directly to the border army of the Ming Kingdom, and let them sell you these things. So, in a short period of time, I guess we won't be able to make any deals. ”

"Yuri, I know you're a mercenary guy, if we don't have any business to do for the time being, why are you risking your life here?" Hauge asked.

"It's true that there is no business to do in the short term, but in the long run, it is not." Yuri replied, "It's expensive to maintain a high-intensity blockade cruise for a long time. The area that the Ming and Dutch needed to blockade was very large, including not only your country, but also North Korea, which had a longer coastline. Such a blockade is difficult to sustain for a long time. At that point, we will be able to buy and sell again. I can't stop the long-term business because of temporary difficulties. Yuri explained with a smile.

……

And in May, after receiving Yuri's detailed report, Zheng Sen learned that this Fulin and the Fulin in his memory were not the same person. He is (Xiao Yuer) Hai Lanzhu died when he was only half a year old in the original history, and he didn't have time to choose a name until he died, not the son of Xiaozhuang later.
