After untying the queen's heart knot, there is nothing in the harem that the emperor really needs to worry about.

Concubine Litian is not jealous in the end, and many facts in history also show that she is still a woman who knows how to measure after all.

In the next two days, Emperor Chongzhen sent people one after another to send Baohe Company into the palace rouge gouache dressing mirror and other favorite things of the concubines, select some good products, and send them to the Chengqian Palace to give her, which soon made her feel at ease and knew that the emperor was not so fickle.

The time soon entered August, and the dense folds from the direction of Lushunkou, Jinzhou and Taiyuan were once every few days.

After Li Xin landed at Lushunkou, he quickly handed over the defense of the isolated city of Jinzhou with Qu Chengen, the general soldier on the left side of Dongjiang Town, and then arranged for the guerrilla Liu Guoneng to take over Jinzhou City with his former army of 2,000 men.

Next, Li Xin, accompanied by Li Weiluan and others, returned to Lushunkou, and then set up the government office of the Lushun Town Guard Mansion in Chengshan Fort in Lushunkou, and led Xu Zhizhong, Yang Yuchun, Li Yu, Chen De and other troops who crossed the sea to Lushunkou one after another, divided their troops and began to renovate the mountain cities and fortresses that had been withdrawn and abandoned before in the peripheral mountain range facing Chengshan Fort.

Using the large amount of manpower brought from Lushun this time, as well as the cement, artillery and other materials transferred by Tianjin sailors and civilian merchant ships, forts were built and forts were built in dangerous places such as Heishi Forest, Tuchengzi, Chair Mountain, and Erlong Mountain on the necessary places between Lushun and Jinzhou to travel from south to north.

In order to let the Lushun town guard have greater financial autonomy, Emperor Chongzhen personally gave a secret decree to Wang Zegu, the envoy of Changlu Salt Transport, and asked him to cross the sea east from Tianjin to Lushunkou, set up a salt section to lift the division, and guide the development of salt farms under the east and west cockscomb mountains in Lushunkou.

The salt field under the jurisdiction of the Lushun Town Shoufu is divided into 64 with the Changlu Salt Transportation Division, 40% is handed over to the Household Department Taicang by the Salt Transportation Division, and 60% of the income is directly controlled by the Lushun Town Shoufu for the construction of forts and the use of recruiting people for reclamation.

At the same time, it also ordered the Dengzhou City Shipping Department under the jurisdiction of the Beiyu Political Envoy Department to open a city ship office in Lushunkou, allowing private merchant ships to dock and trade, and all the commercial taxes of the Lushun City Ship Office were at the disposal of the Lushun Town Guard.

At present, of course, these measures cannot alleviate the huge financial problem of the construction of the Lushun Town Guard, and the salaries of the soldiers of the Lushun Town Guard, a large amount of money and food for the brave and strong people of the village, as well as a large amount of materials needed to build the fort fortress, can only be paid by the emperor and the household department.

But in the long run, after a year and a half, the establishment of the Salt Division and the City Office will be able to bear considerable pressure on the emperor and the household.

In addition to the Lushun Town Guard, Zheng Zhihui exchanged letters in Jinzhou with Dahai and Kurtang, who came to Dalinghe City to preside over the peace meeting on behalf of the slave chief Huang Taiji, and each letter would appear on the emperor's bookcase a few days later.

At the beginning, Dahae and Kur were entangled and Houjin withdrew from Quang Ninh and Dalinghe City on the condition that Donggang Town withdraw from North Korea and return the land of Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province of the former North Korea to North Korea, and then the two countries could demarcate the border and truce their troops, and there would be no trouble.

Of course, Zheng Zhihui could not agree to this condition, but according to the emperor's previous instructions, he did not refuse, but told Dahai, Kurtang and Dege that unless the Later Jin State withdrew from Liaoyang and Shenyang and restored the Liaodong border before the Battle of Sarhu, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to withdraw from Korea.

It means that if you want me to withdraw from North Korea, it's okay, but after you Hou Jin Guo retreats to the border wall of Liaodong, I will talk about it.

Half a month later, Dahai put forward a new request, requiring Liaoxi to be bounded by the Daling River, the North Korean direction to the Yalu River, and the Mongolian direction to the Great Wall.

For this condition, Emperor Chongzhen naturally had already explained, so Zheng Zhihui agreed to the first two paragraphs, disagreed with the third paragraph, and then continued to communicate through messengers, and made false promises with Dahai, Kurtang and others.

And Zheng Zhihui agreed to the first two requests on behalf of the Ming Emperor, and was soon sent back to Shenyang by Dahai and others.

Although Huang Taiji is extremely treacherous, especially the few Han strategists around him are particularly calculating, but at this time, he can't figure out what this young emperor of the Ming Dynasty is thinking in his head.

They originally thought that the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers would not accept the request to divide the territory between Liaodong and Houjin with the Daling River as the boundary between Liaodong and Houjin, but they did not expect the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers to accept it.

But for Huang Taiji, since the Ming Dynasty came and went so seriously to bargain, it meant that they were deceived.

Therefore, at the beginning of August, Huang Taiji, who was preparing to personally conquer Har and Monan Mongolia, quietly completed the mobilization and collection of the Eight Banners in the midst of the bargaining between Dahai and Zheng Zhihui, and as soon as the two white flags and the blue flags in the North Korean direction and the Buzhantai of the Ula Department were in place, he was about to lead his army to the north.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about the news of the Houjin Kingdom, and what he was preparing to deal with in his heart was still the raid on Jizhen or Xuanfu by Jianyu at the end of October.

Although Sun Chengzong's report sent back from Rehebao made him feel very gratified, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, so when Sun Chengzong's patrol was over, he still didn't let him come back.

The purpose of doing this is to hope that in the future, when the situation in Saibei changes abruptly, Sun Chengzong will be in Rehe Fort and will be able to turn the tide.

At the same time, when he was preparing to go on a personal expedition, he would not be hindered by such a military and important minister.

In addition to the relative stability of the situation in the direction of Lushunkou and Jinzhou, Li Banghua's report from Taiyuan also made Emperor Chongzhen feel temporarily reassured.

Zhang Zongheng took the Zhenxi camp to track down Luo Rucai and other thieves all the way, and surrounded Luo Rucai, Li Xing and others in the area of Mopanling and Purple Mountain in the northwest of Shanxi.

Because the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and Luo Rucai and others are erratic, Zhenxi Camp has entered the mountain many times to encircle and suppress, but nothing has been found.

At the same time, the "King of Chuang" Gao Yingxiang, the "Old Huihui" Ma Shouying, and the self-proclaimed "Eight Kings of Xiying" Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves also hid in the reckless mountains of Luya Mountain in the northern section of Luliang, and did not meet with the officials and soldiers.

The officers and troops of Sun Chuanting's office, which were mainly cavalry and lacked new firearms, were powerless for the time being, except for guarding the upper reaches of the Fenshui River Valley, and could only fight with the thief army hiding in the mountains to fight for supplies and consumption.

On the Guangdong side, the latest battle report sent by Wang Zhichen, the governor of Liangguang, said that the Chen Wan Rebellion that broke out in northern Guangdong was becoming more and more intense, capturing the county seat and plundering the official government, and the scope of the attack was becoming more and more extensive.

However, Emperor Chongzhen knew that this civil unrest in history was suppressed by the local Guangdong and the Guangxi army that returned to the division not long after the rebellion was pacified.

Moreover, Guangdong is located in Lingnan, and at present, the impact on the heart of the Ming Dynasty far away in Yan and Zhao is almost negligible, and Chen Wan's rebellion is nothing more than a disease of scabies compared with the Jianyu in the northeast and the thieves in the northwest.

After the end of the Shuo Ri Dynasty meeting on the first day of the first month of August, Emperor Chongzhen discussed the affairs of Shanxi, Lushun and Guangdong with the ministers in Beijing in the Wenhua Palace.

And Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou who led the suppression of the rebellion in the southwest, did not disappoint Emperor Chongzhen and the important ministers of the court.

On the evening of the first day of the eighth month, a battle report from the front line of counterinsurgency in Guizhou was rushed to the Beijing division by the Jinyi Wei Fei Cavalry for 600 miles and delivered to the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.

The culprits of the Extravagant Rebellion, Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan, were defeated and died!

The overall situation of Shuixi is decided!

Originally, in history, Zhu Xieyuan adopted the strategy of attacking from all sides and gradually sweeping away, dispatched tens of thousands of troops to attack Shuixi, and beheaded Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, which was in the middle of August of the second year of Chongzhen, and the news reached Beijing, and it was in October of the second year of Chongzhen.

However, in this life, because of the current Chongzhen Emperor's full support and full delegation of power to Zhu Xieyuan, this time has been advanced by two months!

However, along with the news of the deaths of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan, there was also Zhu Xieyuan's suggestion to reward the front-line soldiers, as well as a request for instructions on the disposal of the Shuixian clan and the places under its management.

This latter made the emperor hesitate in his heart while being overjoyed!
