"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Zhang Dayong's voice woke Chen Ming up from his sleep, and he first glanced at the floor clock not far away, at 2:15, less than half an hour before he fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from North Korea."

Chen Ming did not accept the fold handed by Zhang Dayong, but closed his eyes and fell on the bed again, what big deal can North Korea have? I'm afraid that the military generals in some place will slaughter or expel the civil officials.

"Your Majesty, this is Li Di's secret fold, and Li Di wants to attach it."

Chen Ming was like a spring on his back, and he sat up from the bed all of a sudden, without a trace of sleepiness in his eyes, blooming with ten thousand essences.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Dayong handed over the fold again.

Chen Ming took the fold directly from Zhang Dayong's hand, opened it carefully, and looked at it carefully. The corners of his mouth curled up into an irrepressible smile.

Li Yu really wants to attach it.

"Good. Well done Min Hongho. ”

"Let the Secretariat come up with a draft."

It's definitely not okay to say yes, and don't forget, this thing is a secret fold.

As long as Chen Ming knows that Li Di has this 'heart', he can rest assured, regardless of whether he is active or passive. That's what it means!

So what Chen Ming has to do now is to comfort him!

This Li Yu is also unlucky, Chen Ming really didn't do anything - he didn't do it if he wanted to. The current situation is that if there is even the slightest risk, then it cannot be taken, otherwise China, which has been given the handle, will face the complete centrifugation of North Korea. Li Yu has been the monarch of North Korea for several years, in addition to Anton Kim's stepfamily, he has successively accepted several concubines, but he has never been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter.

None of the women laid eggs, just like Chen Ming during that time. So many women are favored, but none of them are pregnant. This bad situation of Li Yu is also the fundamental reason why more and more people in North Korea are now ready to move.

is already unpopular, and there are signs of desperation.

The attack of the Min army on Gangwon Province and Hamgyong Province, and the unconsciously attack on Chuncheon Province by the Min family army, can be regarded as opening Pandora's box and opening the shackles in the hearts of local powerful figures in North Korea.

Chen Ming didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Coming straight to the side hall, Zhang Dayong had already waited for the opportunity to order the eunuch to prepare a map of North Korea. The Korean Bado, which is not very big, has now been colored by different colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, like a color palette that has been used for ten years.

The Min family, which straddles Gyeonggi, Hwanghae, Gangwon, and Hamgyong provinces, is the largest one, and if the original 'Seoul' is not divided, it will definitely be able to suppress the Min family. But now the Qingfeng Jin clan, the Andong Kim clan, the Fengyang Zhao clan, the Pan Nam Pu clan, the Qingsong Shen clan, the Nanyang Hong clan, the Niu Feng Li clan and other big clans have been faintly divided, and more and more military generals in various places have greatly shaken the foundation of the Li royal family.

Without the strong support of the local clans, the strength of the Li royal family, which had suffered heavy losses in the previous war, would not be the opponent of the Min family at all. But the Min family itself is not without problems.

The sudden expansion of the territory several times has brought about the problem that the foundation is unstable and the internal is unstable. This greatly pulled the Min family's hind legs.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. A long-cherished wish for many years is about to be fulfilled in one day. ”

Zhang Dayong watched Chen Ming's fingers move constantly on the map of North Korea, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, and he said playfully on the side.

"Haha, it's just the first signs of it, and you have to take care of it." Now you can't scare North Korea.

What Chen Ming wants in North Korea is a ripe pick, not a forced pick.

This will take time to ferment and further evolve the internal situation in North Korea.

But that's a good sign.

The Ottomans have all entered the South Seas, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Shanghai by the end of April, and North Korea has sent great news first. Chen Ming was happy. In his last life, he was full of resentment towards the Korean Peninsula.

It's not because of the later super cosmic power - Smecta, but because of the map of China that Chen Ming saw early when he was a primary school monk.

How can a rooster not have a beak and claws?

At that time, Chen Ming thought more than once that if China annexed the Korean Peninsula, it would be like a rooster's beak. And then the little devil happens to be a worm. And Annan also happens to be the claws of the rooster......

Without these two places, the power of this big rooster in China is much less.

At that time, Chen Ming didn't know that these two places were complicated with China, and he didn't know it until he grew up, but at that time, when he thought of his 'wishful thinking' when he was a child, he felt that it was really whimsical.

And now, a wish that he has dreamed of for two lifetimes is really about to bear fruit at this moment, and Chen Ming is overjoyed.

In desperation, the Korean monarch Yi Hao sent a secret letter to Nanjing, hoping to annex China. What could be more gratifying?

In the afternoon, a group of cabinet ministers led by Chen Cong, the king of Song, came into the palace one after another.

Chen Ming convened a meeting at the highest level.

What was to be discussed at this meeting was neither the North American war thousands of miles away, nor the Ottoman mission that was about to arrive, nor the war in southwestern Burma, nor even the North American war and the emigration from Nanmingzhou, but a discussion about Korea.

The word North Korea is already a far, far away thing from the cabinet, but when all the cabinet ministers saw the secret fold handed by Li Yu, their faces were bloodshot.

North Korea wants to be attached, which is a great thing.

Chen Cong's temperament is particularly high, today his first cabinet of ministers is coming to an end, no matter how loyal Chen Cong is to the emperor, he is not willing to leave the throne of the first minister. This is much more beautiful than the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department in the former Qing Dynasty.

And Chen Cong's health is still very good, he can do it for another three or two terms.

However, at the end of a term, every first and auxiliary minister needs to have a work summary, which is to be published all over the world, even if it is not visible to ordinary people, it will be seen by many officials. And the major national newspapers and periodicals will also make a systematic evaluation of the merits of the first auxiliary minister, Chen Cong certainly hopes that the more credit he has, the better.

If North Korea can quickly annex China, it will definitely become a bright highlight on his resume.

Chen Ming now took out a letter of prayer from Li Yu, which gave him the feeling that after a few years of hard work, the emperor was going to close the net on North Korea.

"This is a reply letter written by the secretariat, and all the ministers should take a look."

Chen Ming, who had just lit a fire in everyone's hearts, poured a basin of cold water on them in an instant.

The emperor is not going to take over North Korea right away.

"North Korea and my dynasty are like sons and fathers. I don't want to see blood cannibalism, what I want is for North Korea to surrender on its own initiative. ”

Since the Tang Dynasty, North Korea has learned Chinese culture and spoken Chinese, and even though the Goryeo Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were essentially isolated by land, bilateral maritime exchanges were endless. After the founding of Lee's Joseon, Chinese characters became the official language of Korea.

Among the countries surrounding China, Korea has the deepest sinicization, followed by Annan, and Japan again.

Chen Ming had no intention of annexing Japan, and it was impossible to take Annan without bloodshed, but he really hoped that North Korea could evolve peacefully.

As soon as Chen Ming's words came out, all the important ministers of the cabinet were in high spirits, and no one would say that the DPRK has been a vassal country of China for hundreds of years, and that China should not be a dead country. Such an ignorant person will not be able to enter the threshold of the cabinet.

The ministers of the cabinet clasped their fists and said to Chen Ming: "The ministers are not talented, and they are willing to serve Your Majesty." ”

"All the ministers and workers are loyal to the country, and I am grateful." Chen Ming looked at the cabinet that was 'working together' and was very satisfied, "North Korea does not move troops for anything, it is a battle to attack the heart." ”

"In this way, when you go back, you will write me a chapter and a strategy."

"If you can collect the mountains and rivers of Korea in a year or two, your meritorious deeds will not be inferior to the martial arts of opening up and expanding the territory."

"I won't be stingy."

Chen Ming didn't make random promises, this was his sincere words. Chen Cong and the cabinet ministers all had smiles on their faces. Chen Han does not have the rule that non-martial arts are not knighted, but it is true that martial arts are higher than Wenzhi. Now that the emperor had promised this, a hereditary count would be indispensable at that time.

The cadres looked at each other, and bowed to Chen Ming again: "The ministers have ...... order."

One by one in my heart, I have begun to think about how to write this chapter and strategy.

Even if they can't think of any Taoism in their heads, there are Hakka people in their homes, and a group of people can find examples of what kind of 'obedience' when they look through the Chinese history books.

Keep the pen and flowers, and the flowers written are full of flowers, and they are full of insight.

Since Chen Han set the throne of the world, this mutated 'imperial examination system' has once again become a holy place for scholars all over the world. The scope of 'scholars' has also expanded many, many times longer than it had been for thousands of years. It's just that this imperial examination is full of proud people, and there are disappointed people. How many people have lost all the good things and shortages for the sake of a imperial examination? Then he was disheartened, so he simply found a job in Nanjing. There are more or less such people in the families of the noble and important ministers, and the higher level than these frustrated people are those who are proud, the imperial examination is proud, but the officialdom is unhappy, and those who simply abandon the official and serve the people are cut off, that is, they have no way to be in the officialdom, and can only serve as guest secretaries for the noble and large bureaucrats. This is a variant of the old master.

For officials in the world, there is no mandatory necessity. Instead, according to their own economic level, they do it at will.

In the homes of the noble and important ministers in Nanjing City, many people are interested in accepting these guests, because they know the imperial court's big plan of 'overseas feudal state', and they are preparing for their own family.

By the end of mid-April, the Ottoman fleet had arrived in Guangzhou.

In the streets and alleys of Nanjing, countless folk artists and teams from various official literary and artistic institutions set up a scene in the open space in the streets and alleys, set up a stage, and performed all kinds of acrobatics, magic, cross talk and even opera for the people of Nanjing City for free.

This is a series of behaviors that are the prelude to the birthday celebration of the Empress Dowager Gao.

April 22 is Chen Ming's birthday. Long before Chen Han officially established himself in the world, such rules had already begun.

Not only Gao's, Chen Ming and Chen Hui's birthday, Li Xiaomei's birthday, but also the birthday of the old lady in the palace, that's all the same.

In addition to these, before Chen Hui and Chen Ming's birthday, the three most honorable women in the entire Chen Han Dynasty, the old, middle-aged and young combination, will also add an everlasting lamp to the Taoist temples around Nanjing City and light a fragrance of incense.

This year is also a coincidence, a few days after the queen mother's birthday, just in time for the Ottoman delegation to enter Beijing. If you don't know, you still think that these are what Chen Ming used to welcome the Ottomans.

The British, the French, and the Dutch, were anxiously awaiting the first sailing ship in Europe.

I don't know if it's because of the war in Europe, but this year it's not until the end of April, and the ships coming from the west are nowhere to be seen.

In the market, the first batch of spring teas this year has already been listed.

……

Siam, Chiang Mai. A front-line base where large armies gather.

In a military camp.

Under the leadership of more than a dozen Chinese instructors, a regimental [1,000-man] Siam Army is scattered in various training grounds in the camp, carrying out military training every day.

In a shooting range. A battalion of more than 300 Siamese soldiers, led by instructors and officers, is doing live-fire training. At the edge of the shooting range, Zheng Xin himself was quietly watching, surrounded by a group of generals and accompanied by a Chinese teacher.

The whistle sounded, and more than 300 soldiers lined up in three neat columns and marched from the other end of the shooting range. Upon arrival at the pre-firing site, everyone quickly stood still. Then the soldiers, under the rapid orders of the officers at all levels, quickly formed a formation, and the counterclockwise line made a big rotation, from three columns to three horizontal columns in an instant.

Throughout, there was no musical accompaniment other than whistles, and there was no other sound.

"All are determined!"

"Gun under the shoulder!"

With a loud shout from the leader, more than 300 people unloaded their muskets from their shoulders in unison. Then he aimed at the target in front of him and shot, and shot in a neat series of shots again and again.

In the rolling waves of flames, hundreds of wooden targets fifty meters away were smashed into debris.

The final order to charge was given, and hundreds of people roared in unison, rushed out with bayonets, and then stabbed and overturned the wooden targets that had already been beaten to pieces.

Then the whistle sounded again. The Siamese soldiers, who had just completed a round of charge, withdrew, but in only two or three minutes, they lined up again. Then a teacher in charge of military discipline stepped out, brought out a dozen or so soldiers and even officers who had made mistakes in the previous volleys and charges, and in front of everyone, took off their coats at the edge of the range and began to whip them with sticks. Ten strokes per person, after ten strokes, the backs of these people were swollen, and the instructors did not save any more face for the Siamese officers and soldiers because Zheng Xin was on the sidelines.

Then the men were driven to the side of the range, standing in a military position under the sun, without even dressing.

This is the Siamese army under the training of Chinese military instructors.

Zheng Xin saw it, but he was not angry at all.

"Instructor Chen, I hope you have always been so strict, this is good!"

Zheng Xin spoke with a Cantonese accent and praised the Chinese instructor next to him. Since a large number of Chinese instructors entered the Siamese army, the strict and strict work style of the Chinese instructors has set a good example for the Siamese army.

The officers and men on the training ground are one, and the rewards and punishments are clear. During the exercise, the order is prohibited, and the order is unified.

The team trained in this way was invincible in the exercise.

The infantry divisions trained by these people were compared with the infantry divisions made by the Siamese themselves according to the gourd drawings, and that was the difference between brass and gold. The Chinese military instructor corps conquered the entire Siamese military with ironclad facts.

And with such an elite in hand, this is also the main reason why Zheng Xin is confident that he will defeat Myanmar.

Outside the training ground, a pair of elite Siamese Janissaries with guns were erected, along with dozens of elephants. One of the white elephants is extremely noble, not only because of the ornate frame on its back, but also because of the four finely crafted gold hoops on its ivory.

But by the moment the commander of the Siamese Praetorian Guard had fallen asleep in the shade of a tree, and the gunfire at the training ground had not woken him up. Under his leg was a copy of the Bangkok Daily, the first newspaper in Siam, which was not born in Thonburi, but in Bangkok, next door to Thonburi.

Newspapers are half in Thai and half in Chinese. The newspaper under the thigh of the Praetorian Guard commander happened to be in Chinese, because he was also of Chinese descent:

The Ottoman Mission Arrives in Nanjing on April 26, 5th Year of Chengtian

"The North American Expeditionary Force Bombarded the Mexican Coast and Took the Jiazhou [California] Peninsula"

……

April is a bumper harvest season for China! (To be continued.) )
