Zhang Chu defeated Dolgon, the battlefield in the northeast calmed down, Huang Taiji led his troops back to Shenyang because his hometown was threatened, and the crisis of the Ming Dynasty in the seventh year of Chongzhen was resolved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Zhang Chu was restless again, and he wanted to ask North Korea for an explanation. And asked Xie Lian to find a way to find Emperor Chongzhen to issue a holy decree and return his teacher to be famous.

Xie Lian understood that Zhang Chu was not completely unreasonable in doing this, and he was idle and had nothing to do. The relationship between Korea and the Ming Dynasty was originally between the suzerainty and the vassal states, and the DPRK was nominally under the control of the Ming Dynasty. But after the rise of the Later Jin, the power of the Ming Dynasty in the Northeast gradually weakened, and the Koreans were under the pressure of the Later Jin and began to be at both ends of the first mouse between the Ming and the Later Jin. In particular, the Emperor Taiji sent Bel Amin to lead troops to attack Korea, and Korea formed an alliance with Houjin, and the two sides became brotherly countries, and Korea also paid tribute to Houjin every year with gold, silver, grain, grass and other materials. This can be regarded as a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty by North Korea. In the past, Da Ming was too busy to take care of himself and had no ability to manage it, but now Zhang Chu can really talk to North Korea by taking advantage of the momentum of defeating Houjin. This can sever the connection between North Korea and Houjin, and if North Korea reverts to the Ming Dynasty, it will also be a help to fight Houjin.

However, it is not so easy to ask Emperor Chongzhen to let Zhang Chu find trouble in North Korea.

Daming has always regarded himself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and he disdains to do that kind of thing.

Xie Lian thought about it for many days, and finally decided to write a letter in the name of Zhang Chu to Emperor Chongzhen to see, in case it worked. Zhang Chu was very satisfied after reading Xie Lian's recital, and signed his name and let people send it out.

Now Zhang Chu is already a celebrity in the imperial court, and he dares to take the emperor's words seriously, and he is the only general soldier who asks for money before he works.

Zhang Chu took the initiative to write a recital to the emperor, which is really rare. The ministers read the content of the song and decided that it was better for the emperor to decide this matter, and no one wanted to touch this hot potato. Everyone pretended not to see it, and sent Zhang Chu's recital to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen worked diligently, and he had to deal with a lot of political affairs every day, and all kinds of troubles had exhausted him.

When I read Zhang Chu's recital, it was also very strange, what would happen to this general soldier who didn't even listen to his own words.

Looking at the content of Zhang Chu's twist, Emperor Chongzhen almost had a heart attack, and Zhang Chu's central idea was only one to ask for money.

Zhang Chu wrote several pieces of paper in a fluttering manner. Emperor Chongzhen wondered, when did Zhang Chu, a martial artist, become so brilliant.

Zhang Chu first praised his exploits this time, and then began to cry poor, saying that the cost of this battle was huge, and there were a large number of dead and wounded soldiers who needed to be compensated. Many Han people in the northeast want to be resettled, so I hope that the emperor will allocate 2 million taels of silver to solve the urgent need. Later, it was said that the other Ming troops outside the pass were not conducive to the Houjin war, and they did not know how to cooperate when Zhang Chu was fighting. Can the emperor mention Zhang Chu's officials and let Zhang Chu take care of them, and they will fight hard. Finally, he also said that the Ming vassal state Korea made peace with the Houjin people privately, which was a shameful betrayal, and asked the emperor to issue an order to order Zhang Chu to hold the Korean king accountable on behalf of the emperor, and let the Korean king apologize for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

What Emperor Chongzhen is most afraid of now is who will ask him for money. Zhang Chu's opening of his mouth asked for two million, and the emperor couldn't accept it anyway, and he was reluctant to pay. As for the official who promoted Zhang Chu, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even have to think about it, he knew that it was impossible. The Ming Dynasty invests millions of taels of silver in the army outside the Guanxi every year, so much money is naturally entangled in the interests of all parties, and the generals outside the Guanxi are inextricably linked with the ministers of the court. The ministers must have thought that he had come to rob the money and not eat the emperor.

Although he was dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen of North Korea, he was embarrassed to say that he would turn his face and be generous as an emperor.

With such an analysis, Zhang Chu's request could not be agreed. It's not good if you don't agree, Zhang Chu can really fight, if it wasn't for Zhang Chu winning the battle again this time, the Houjin people don't know when they will make trouble in Datong and Xuanhua areas. This time, Zhang Chu was refuted, and when Houjin attacked again, what should Zhang Chu do if he did not send troops.

Things are a bit tricky, and Emperor Chongzhen is no longer interested in discussing things with his ministers. The ministers either didn't say anything, and if they did, they would be against the emperor.

The emperor had no choice but to call the great eunuch Cao Huachun, who was the person the emperor felt could be trusted.

Cao Huachun watched Zhang Chu's recital, then looked at the emperor with a sad face and said cautiously: "There is still a way to solve this matter." ”

"If you don't ask for money, if you don't give it to officials, you have nothing to do with North Korea." Emperor Chongzhen blocked all the roads with one sentence, mainly because he was angry in his heart. The civil officials worked against him every day, and now the military generals also gave him problems.

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to agree to Zhang Chu's conditions. Zhang Chu never thought that His Majesty would agree to those conditions for him. Cao Huachun felt that he had seen through Zhang Chu's careful thoughts.

"Then what is he doing with such a recital? Is it just to me off? Emperor Chongzhen was even more furious.

"That's not it, Zhang Chu has his careful eye. If you ask for money, you just gave it shortly after, and you will definitely not give it. If you want to be promoted, you want to be smaller, and this time you have to manage all the soldiers and horses outside the gate, and he himself should think that it is impossible. He wanted to go to North Korea, but it was true. Cao Huachun analyzed them one by one.

"What is he doing in North Korea?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled, in his eyes, there was nothing to go to in North Korea and other barbarian places.

"I think Zhang Chu must be a money obsesser, knowing that he can't get money from His Majesty, maybe he wants to get some money from North Korea."

"North Korea has money?"

"North Korea will have a little money, and they agreed to pay tribute to Houjin every year in an alliance with Houjin."

"This is disgusting." Emperor Chongzhen's anger rose again, he was originally the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, and he voted for Houjin when he saw that the Ming Dynasty was not good.

"So it's not a big problem to let Zhang Chu go to North Korea and punish North Korea a little." Cao Huachun tried his best to persuade the emperor.

"But will it seem that Da Ming is not generous enough to turn his face with North Korea like this." Emperor Chongzhen was still thinking about the issue of face.

"You can do this, you make a holy decree, reproach North Korea for the alliance with the Later Jin, and then say that the Ming Dynasty understands that the DPRK was forced by the force of the Later Jin, and specially sent the fierce general Zhang Chu to protect the DPRK, and all the affairs of the DPRK are handled by Zhang Chu. After that, if Zhang Chu does anything, it will all be Zhang Chu's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty at all. His Majesty also has to issue another holy decree to criticize Zhang Chu, so that he doesn't always think about reaching out to the court to ask for money, and always thinking about being promoted. This atmosphere of asking for money cannot be long, and we must always think about serving the country loyally, and the emperor will not treat meritorious officials badly. Cao Huachun gave Emperor Chongzhen an idea to save face.

"Is that okay? That Zhang Chu won't stop working because of this? Chongzhen was still a little uneasy.

"No problem. He's definitely going to work harder. This kind of money addict, he will be equally happy to give him money and allow him to make money on his own. Cao Huachun seemed confident.

Emperor Chongzhen first issued a holy decree criticizing Zhang Chu, and the ministers were very satisfied, making you arrogant, this time it made the emperor angry.

Then Emperor Chongzhen specially issued a holy decree to Zhang Chu to defend Korea.

Zhang Chu was very satisfied, and Zhang Chu took the holy decree and let out a wicked smile: "Hehe, I'm here in North Korea." (To be continued.) )
