"Your Majesty! Great victory! Great victory! The voice of the visitor attracted the attention of Chongzhen, including all the ministers, and Chongzhen was stunned by this sudden good news, "Good news?!" Where?! "For a moment, I couldn't remember where the war was going on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! The one who gave the good news knelt and said.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The one who announces the good news stands up respectfully.

"Where's the victory?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty! Dongjiang victory! Victory in Denglai! The person who reported the good news said respectfully, and then presented the good news.

Cao Huachun quickly took it, and then forwarded it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen took the good news and looked at it, and the other ministers were also looking forward to this good news, they had won several battles before, and now they would not cheer loudly because of the victory.

Chongzhen looked at the good news, the general meaning of the above is to describe the battle of Lower Phi Island, and then it is the focus of Chongzhen's view, capturing 15,000 prisoners of war, including 5,000 Tartars, including the main general of the Tartars, Aobai, 10,000 prisoners of the sticks, including the main general of the sticks, Jin Zidian, of course, finally pointed out the battle of Phi Island, the defenders of Dongjiang Town lost more than half, and the warships also lost more than half, hoping that the imperial court would give support and subsidies! The other is the good news of the Den Lai Sun Chuanting, who captured 8,000 prisoners of war, including 5,000 Tartar troops and 3,000 Japanese soldiers, including Zhu Jiang Shuotuo of the Tartar army and Tokugawa Tadanaga, the commander of the Japanese army. In the end, the defenders of Denglai suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and begged the imperial court to give corresponding rewards and so on.

Looking at these two good news, Chongzhen's frowning brows finally slowly loosened, and he couldn't help but raise his mouth, the ministers saw that His Majesty the Emperor was so happy, it seems that the harvest this time must be very great, otherwise how could His Majesty the Emperor be so happy? In fact, they didn't know what Chongzhen was thinking: "NND! I'm worried about running out of money, no, the dead fat man of Huang Taiji is going to send me money again! And damn devils! Let them have a good letting! "I don't know how these ministers would feel if they knew what the emperor was thinking at this time.

"Cao Huachun! Let's take these two good news into account! Chongzhen smiled and gave the two good news to Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun took it respectfully, and then read it sonorously and vigorously, and suddenly in the hall except for the slight breathing sound of everyone is the sound of Cao Huachun's reading of the good news, finally, after Cao Huachun finished reading it all in a frustrated manner, all the ministers knelt on the ground in unison and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty, how can these little ones offend! Your Majesty must punish them well! Some ministers began to shout, and then there was a burst of voices singing praises and some ministers' arrogant and outspoken, which made Chongzhen, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly gloomy again.

"Teacher! Li Shangshu! You reward them according to their military merits and the court's etiquette! Don't delay! Chongzhen commanded.

Sun Chengzong and Li Yangde came out one after another: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

"Plus! Since the war on the Dongjiang River has ended and the main force of the Korean naval division has been destroyed, then send our naval division to Japan for a circle! Chongzhen commanded.

"Weichen Command!" Sun Chengzong led the decree.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers cheered.

"Teacher! The reception of war criminals will be arranged at that time, and I will have other arrangements for how to deal with them! Chongzhen commanded.

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression that I understand, and said respectfully: "Weichen has the order." ”

"Li Shangshu! Prepare in advance to meet the envoys! I believe you can do it well! Chongzhen said with a puzzled smile.

"We're in command! Your Majesty rest assured! Wechen will not disappoint His Majesty! Li Yangde said respectfully.

"That's good! Bi Shangshu! The rest is your household, arrange the silver reward! Don't make the soldiers wait! Chongzhen continued to command.

"Wechen obeys!" Bi Ziyan respectfully received the order.

"I almost forgot! Xu Aiqing! Let the people of the Ministry of Industry step up to do it! In addition, the construction of warships cannot be stopped! Chongzhen said to Xu Guangqi.

"Command! Your Majesty rest assured! Xu Guangqi said respectfully.

Chongzhen thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing missing, so he stroked his temples and said: "As for the taxes that I said at the beginning, Aiqing will go back to discuss and discuss, and then give it to me!" Retreat! ”

"Retreat!" Cao Huachun shouted, and then left with Chongzhen.

After going out, Chongzhen said to Cao Huachun: "You go and call Li Shangshu to the Qianqing Palace!" ”

"Your Majesty! Are you tired too, don't you rest? Cao Huachun cared about the authenticity.

"The Motherland has not yet been reunified! How can I have more time to rest! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Cao Huachun was stunned by Chongzhen's words, what motherland has not yet been reunified? ! But regardless of whether he can figure it out or not, he still said: "Please take care of your majesty's dragon body!" ”

"That's it! Go and summon Li Shangshu! Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun answered and went to summon him.

Soon, Chongzhen met Li Yangde in the Qianqing Palace, "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Aiqing is flat! Throne! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yangde said respectfully.

Chongzhen smiled and said: "I summoned you here to talk about these prisoners of war, the arrangement of the prisoners of war this time is the same as last time, but slightly different!" ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty for instructions!" Li Yangde said with a smile.

"This time, I will ask the imperial court to cooperate with the Bandung Chamber of Commerce to sell these prisoners of war to them! Then it was up to them to release the news that they were going to auction off a batch of slaves from Korea and the Wa Kingdom! After that, it will be up to them to operate, and the court will not have to worry about it! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Auction?!" Li Yangde was stunned.

"Of course! Aiqing doesn't know that the court lacks silver, of course, the asking price is done by the businessman, and the court does not damage the prestige of my Ming Dynasty? ! Aiqing said yes or no? Chongzhen said with a smile as he drank tea.

Li Yangde was speechless for a moment, how could these heavyweight ministers not know who was behind the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, they just didn't say it, but no matter what he thought in his heart, Li Yangde still said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise!" Wechen will definitely deal with it! ”

"After that, you and Su Aiqing will sum up, you must not make mistakes, and you will hype it up outside, encourage and boost the morale of the people, as for the final situation where the people want to see the execution of these prisoners of war, Su Aiqing should have a way, there are so many death row prisoners in the country, I don't need to say more, right?!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

Li Yangde was suddenly embarrassed, is this really the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty? Would you even think of using these tricks?

Looking at Li Yangde, who was a little stunned, Chongzhen continued: "Later, someone from the Bandung Chamber of Commerce will discuss specific matters with Aiqing!" So be it! As for how to explain to other ministers at that time, I believe Aiqing will know what to do and do it well! What's on the top! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Wechen must do it well! Li Yangde said respectfully.

Chongzhen nodded and said: "I have ascended the throne until now, I remember Aiqing's contributions, this cabinet should also be expanded and expanded, the four pavilion elders are really not enough, and Yuan Pavilion is not in the court!" Guo Ge was busy with the bank. I've been thinking about it lately! Chongzhen groaned.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Of course, Li Yangde climbed up the pole, after all, there were examples of people being promoted to the cabinet by Chongzhen in front of them, which inspired them to move forward all the time.

"Good job! I won't do you any wrong! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Wechen must do his best! Live up to Your Majesty's grace! Li Yangde said respectfully.

"Alright! Aiqing is also tired, so let's step back and rest! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Wechen retires! Li Yangde said respectfully.

"Wait! That's right! Recently, some good teas have been newly tributed! Cao Huachun, go get some for Li Aiqing! Chongzhen commanded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yangde said happily, and then took the tribute tea and happily went out to run errands.

After Li Yangde went out, Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair and narrowed slightly, while Cao Huachun stood quietly on the side, not daring to make any sound, but after a while, Chongzhen changed his words: "You go and summon Sun Ge Lao, Cheng Ge Lao and Liu Ge Lao!" Then go to the queen's side and tell her that I will go over to see her and Hong'er in a while! ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun took the order and left, looking at Chongzhen, who was still squinting slightly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Soon, the three cabinet bigwigs came to the Qianqing Palace, and when they saw Chongzhen, they respectfully luggage: "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them stood up respectfully.

"Throne!" Chongzhen commanded, and when the three of them sat down according to the ceremony, Chongzhen looked at the three people: "I called you here to discuss a matter, in this battle of Phi Dao, Dongjiang Town suffered heavy losses, and now the soldiers are no longer enough to protect Phi Dao, Mao Aiqing asked for assistance, what do you think?" ”

Sun Chengzong, who is the first assistant and the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Weichen suggested that General Mao can recruit troops on Phi Island, so that not only can you save bad expenses, but also form an army faster!"

After hearing this, Chongzhen turned his head to look at the other two and said, "What did the two Aiqing say?" ”

Cheng Jiming was still thinking, and Liu Hongxun said at this time: "Your Majesty! Weichen thought that it was impossible, although the strength of the North Korean sailors was greatly damaged now, but it still existed, it is not too difficult to build a warship, the Tartars will still attack Phi Island at any time, Phi Island is very important to our Ming Dynasty I think everyone understands, so we can't tolerate any mistakes, if you re-recruit, it takes time to train into an army like this, and it is not enough to deal with emergencies! ”

"Liu Aiqing is right! So Aiqing thinks it's better to do it?! Chongzhen said with a smile.

Liu Hongxun thought for a while and said, "Weichen suggested transferring troops from Liaodong!" Now that there will be no war in Liaodong for the time being, troops can be transferred from the front line of Ningjin, which will not only save a lot of expenses, but also quickly become an army as long as you are familiar with the environment of Xiapi Island! ”

"What Aiqing said makes sense! Cheng Aiqing, what do you say? Chongzhen looked at Cheng Jiming and asked.
