After commending Dennis, Zhu Changyuan invited Kong He into the office and began to hand him another task. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What are your ideals?"

Zhu Changyuan just sat on the chair and asked Kong He as soon as he opened his mouth, startling Kong He, who was thinking about the boss shouting that he had come from Shaanxi in a hurry.

"This..." When it comes to military affairs, Kong He can talk about it all morning, but now the boss asks him what his ideals are, and asks him how to answer.

Moreover, in ancient society, talking about ideals with one's boss was a matter of death, right?

You can't tell him: I want to be a general in the future! Or am I going to do your old man's position?

"Why, you don't understand what an ideal is? That is, what are your plans in the future, to give the simplest example, what official position do you want to do in the future? ”

"This?" Kong He really had a constipated expression, and even if he did, he was embarrassed to say it, so he had to wait for Ai Ai, and he said for a long time: "The last general is willing to follow the general and conquer the south and the north, that's all!" ”

"P-talk!" Zhu Changyuan was afraid of the table, got up from the chair suddenly, and said: "Even if you can always follow me, but there are many things on the island, and sooner or later you have to stand alone, haven't you ever thought about sealing the marquis and worshipping the prime minister, or even, splitting the earth and sealing the king?" ”

"Subordinates don't dare, subordinates should be damned!" When Kong He heard Zhu Changyuan say this, he was anxious. He knelt on the ground with a puff, and hurriedly defended: "Subordinates dare to have the mind to stand on their own? ”

"Get up." Zhu Changyuan said lightly, and said: "I originally wanted you to guard the land of Shaanxi, for the sake of the general, and for the country, but unfortunately the Sun Moon Island is busy. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changyuan saw Kong He's body trembling slightly, and even sweating on his forehead.

In Kong He's heart, what Zhu Changyuan said about the old thing of serving Emperor Chengzu was rebellion. It is Jing Nan, which makes Kong He how not excited, on the one hand, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. Deep down, he actually didn't want to see Zhu Changyuan raise troops, but on the other hand, as Zhu Changyuan's humerus and right-hand man, he couldn't wait to make a contribution.

Zhu Changyuan saw his appearance. also expected what he was thinking, and immediately smiled, and said: "Don't get me wrong, this is not a rebellion, but that I intend to follow Emperor Chengzu, sail across the sea, go to foreign lands, and plunder Zhuyi to spread the civilization of my Han family." What do you think? ”

After hearing this, Kong He put his heart into his stomach, and knew that Zhu Changyuan did not want to rebel, but to learn from Zheng He to go to the West.

When Emperor Zhu Di was alive, Yongle was glorious, not to mention tens of thousands of zhang, that was to shine on the surrounding neighbors, benefiting more than 40 countries, and the countries that came to pay tribute can be said to be endless.

The fleet led by Zheng He went all the way. It can be said that he killed people and set fire all the way, and he didn't know how many people would destroy the country.

Thinking about the majesty of the past, and then looking at the Ming Empire today, people can't help but sigh.

"Now Shaanxi Dading. The affairs of the island were also handled by the two major government affairs, and the last general had long wanted to ask for instructions to sweep Fusang with the army, and asked the general to agree. ”

Kong He actually wants to fight in his bones.

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "Okay, if you have the ambition to sail and wade into the sea, I will fulfill you." However, this is not to sweep Fusang, but to a place that is thousands of miles away from Fusang, do you dare to go? ”

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

holes and gnashing of teeth.

"That's good!" Zhu Changyuan took out a huge world map from the study, pointed to a small island on it and said, "This is my Sun Moon God Island. With a flick of his finger, he pointed to the east: "This projectile land is Fusang." ”

"However, Ben General doesn't want you to go to Fusang today, but lets you go here." Zhu Changyuan's thinking changed quickly, and the movements in his hands were faster, and he moved his hand to the European continent in an instant.

"If you want to get here, you have to go far into the sea."

"From Riyue Island all the way to the south, drifting across the ocean, more than 10,000 miles, before reaching the Strait of Malacca, after passing through the Strait of Malacca, from here all the way to the west, across the entire Indian Ocean in the southern waters of India, you can reach the east coast of Africa, which is the farthest place that Zheng He sailed to in those years."

"Here?" Kong He said suspiciously: "Did Zheng He reach the coast of Africa as far back then?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Changyuan nodded, very sure, but said very solemnly: "As for this general's mission, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than Zheng He's voyage, and after arriving here, the whole trip is only half over!" ”

"Along the coastline of Africa to the south, to the southernmost part of the continent and westward, to the Atlantic, and after the Atlantic, thirty thousand miles from south to north, we reach the territory of Europe, and the country of which I speak is there."

As for why he had to go so far to do it, Zhu Changyuan didn't say, and Kong Henaturally didn't ask.

Kong He had thought far before, but he never thought it would be so far.

"Of course, this trip to the European countries will give you the most advanced big ship, and the navigation is worry-free, but the difficulty is to drift at sea, and I am afraid it will take years to return."

"Subordinates are not afraid!" holes and gnashing of teeth.

"Good!" Zhu Changyuan said: "If this matter can be completed, you will be allowed to attack abroad in the future, and all the places you go down can be torn and become kings!" ”

On that day, Zhu Changyuan spent a lot of effort to exchange six brand-new blue ships from the system in one go, and opened them to the sea one by one.

He also ordered Kong He to lead 3,000 elite soldiers on Riyue Island and a group of scholars from Europe to board the ship, and then walked towards the south.

The ship is redeemed in the system, not only has navigation, but also can sail automatically, which can be said to provide enough convenience to Konghe, but there is one point, the sailing speed is too slow.

Although this kind of large ship sails much faster than ordinary ships, relatively speaking, it is impossible to start from Sun Moon Island and reach Europe all the way to Europe without half a year or even longer.

Of course, Kong He's main mission in Europe this time was not to fight a war, but to invite all the science lovers scattered in all corners of Europe.

The reason why many European scholars followed suit was to try to fool the majority of scholars through their propaganda.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the autumn of the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

This year, for Emperor Chongzhen, is the best year, Zhu Changyuan not only pacified the entire Shaanxi, beat Li Zicheng out of the Western Regions, but also ran Shaanxi meritorious, so that countless people have a home, the whole Shaanxi almost overnight became a rich land.

Moreover, Yang Sichang easily took over Zhu Changyuan's 300,000 army, and the situation in the imperial court can be described as settled.

The only thing that annoyed him was that although Zhang Xianzhong was driven out of the land of Jingxiang, he waved his flag and shouted again in Sichuan, sealed all the openings into Sichuan, and established himself as the king.

and Xiong Wencan in the land of Jingxiang, with 100,000 heavy soldiers, is not a lord who seems to be with.

In the past, he couldn't deal with Xiong Wencan, and there was no way, so the court was false and wronged with him, but now the situation is different, not only the land of Liaodong tends to be stable, but also Shaanxi is also settled, and Chongzhen's thoughts are suddenly activated.

So now that there is no war in the whole world, can we do this, and let Yang Sichang's 200,000 troops rush from Shaanxi to Sichuan and Jingxiang to suppress bandits?

I have to say that man is an animal that likes to torture himself, once this kind of thought sprouts in his heart, it is like spring grass, and it will grow crazy when it encounters spring rain.

Ten days did not arrive, Emperor Chongzhen, despite the opposition of his ministers, gave two orders to Yang Sichang, who was in Shaanxi, to lead his troops south and recover Shu.

According to Chongzhen's conception, once Zhang Xianzhong in Shu was destroyed, the land of Jingxiang would be outnumbered on all sides, and the end of Xiong Wencan would come.

However, the results went to a great surprise to everyone.

Yang Sichang led the army to attack Shu, and it seemed that there was a mighty army of more than 200,000 people, but unfortunately, he was not Zhu Changyuan, he did not open the hanging, and he did not have modern weapons, and the most important thing was that everyone underestimated the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xianzhong.

Isn't it cool to watch him being beaten by Zhu Changyuan in embarrassment, and even crying? Do you feel that Zhu Changyuan is very good*? Isn't it absolutely Zhang Xianzhong who is very wrecked?

Nonsense, of course yes.

It's a pity that this is not the case, it's not that Zhang Xianzhong is too cowardly, but that Zhu Changyuan is too strong, so strong that people already think highly of him, but unfortunately, he still looks down on him.

For example, this time, Yang Sichang's 200,000 army arrived in Shudi, and at the beginning, the dragons and tigers were vigorous, but unfortunately after jumping in Shu for more than ten days, I realized that Shu was not so easy to fight.

First, Yang Sichang's grain route was cut off, and then, Zhang Xianzhong made full use of the advantages of running Shuzhong for two years to launch a guerrilla war with Yang Sichang, and a month later, Yang Sichang suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to Shaanxi with the remnants of the defeated army.

Shu Di didn't come down, it's very serious for the Ming Dynasty, right?

No, it doesn't matter, however, there was a major event that suddenly happened after Yang Sichang sent troops: Huang Taiji brazenly sent troops, suddenly ransacked Jinzhou, and once again launched a major war in the northeast.

If it weren't for Yang Sichang leading 200,000 people to sweep Shu and return in defeat, I'm afraid Huang Taiji would not have sent troops to attack Jinzhou so easily!

This time, Huang Taiji learned the lesson of the previous attack on Ningyuan and the failure of the plundering of Jinzhou, adopted the measures of besieging but not attacking, cutting off its grain routes, and ordered all the people in the Jinzhou area not to farm, but also the surrounding area, the policy of trapping the towns, was really a blow, almost beat the Ming Dynasty's army in Liaodong to the point that they could not take care of themselves.

Daming is not a fool, as soon as he saw that Huang Taiji was menacing, and he was not ready to go back for a while, he immediately transferred troops from Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, Shanxi, Guyuan and even Ningxia and Gansu, and sent 130,000 elite people from the nine sides to Liaodong to help.

Huang Taiji was not to be outdone, in addition to bringing 100,000 foot soldiers and 60,000 iron horsemen himself, he also joined Mongolia in the north and plundered the Ming Dynasty in a two-pronged manner!

The big war is on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued.) )
