November 1641

The situation in the Ming Dynasty is still developing towards the trajectory of history, the peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng is getting stronger and stronger, and then the Jin under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the ambitious Khan King, continues to attack the city and plunder the land, and even annihilated the Ming army of more than 50,000 people in the Songjin victory last year.

At this time, Houjin was like a lion ready to attack, ready to bite off a piece of meat and a bone from Da Ming's body at any time.

Under this kind of internal and external troubles, the Chongzhen court is basically at the end of the road, if it is just the land is the peasant army uprising and the siege of the city in the Later Jin, those also say, at least at the moment, most of the people in the Ming Dynasty still have expectations for the court.

However, whether the imperial army faced the peasant army or the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, almost every major battle ended in defeat and made them very disappointed.

Although the transmission of information in this era was not developed, far less developed than in the later Internet period, the refugees who fled from the northwest and north every day also let the people living in the south relatively comfortable know that the current situation is not peaceful.

I heard that the peasant army has arrived in Nanyang, and someone in a certain place has uncovered the rod and raised the Houjin in the north, and it seems that how many people and cattle and sheep have been plundered by Houjin in the north.

The news continued to spread from the fleeing ranks, and everyone had to think about whether the peasant army would suddenly hit their own county, and the people were worried that the days of peace and stability would not be able to be sent together, and the gentry and officials were most worried about how the peasants would ensure their lives.

It is no secret that the peasant army is a bureaucrat and a gentry, and it can be found in the historical books of the past dynasties that as long as the peasant army revolts in the world, it will inevitably be the court officials and gentry who will be killed.

Perhaps it was in this situation that the gentry and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty finally chose to surrender to the Manchus and never surrender to Li Zicheng, because Li Zicheng's general performance had already given a clear answer, and if he took refuge in him, it was not even a matter of whether his property could be preserved.

And with the support of the relatively large Ming literati, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to smoothly pacify the world after entering the customs, relying not only on force but also on the distribution of interests, so that the original gentry group supported him, and the world sat firmly, otherwise it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to fight to the end with the Manchu Dynasty.

No matter how bad the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is, and how much land and population the Houjin has plundered, as the ruler of the Australian government, as long as a reasonable person will not be stupid to help the Ming Dynasty calm down the internal strife and external wars, these are not the time.

Although the gang of guys with historical plots have repeatedly shouted that Australia should send troops, go directly north to put an end to Houjin's nest, and then completely solve the problem of Manchu Qing entry into the customs.

In the face of this very stupid strategy, even Wang Tiehammer, who has always had a historical plot, disagreed, not to mention that there may not be danger at sea, but on land, how can Australian soldiers ensure a quick victory without a strong rear transportation material team, if only a Khan king who eliminated Houjin can solve the problem, then he can't help but underestimate the strength of Houjin in this period.

During this period, the Houjin can be said to have produced many talents, whether it is the commoners or the aristocratic class, and there are even Han ministers who have taken refuge in it, and they want to eliminate him so simply, which is not something that can be solved by a raiding team.

In addition to the inability to keep up with the logistics and the geographical environment of the soldiers, many other factors are directly the reasons why Australia cannot send troops, the most important of which is what benefits Australia can bring to itself, a war without any benefits is a waste of taxpayers' money.

If you regard this as a splendid civilization that saves the nation from destruction or even regression, then I'm sorry that everyone has not yet achieved such a noble sentiment in the world.

What's more, now, Australia is a country, and as a national ruler and a prospect maker for future development, the public cannot be so noble. If Australia wants to send troops to directly intervene, it must have sufficient interests.

At present, even if Australia sends troops, the Ming court will not buy it, and may even say that this is Australia's nosy, and may even take additional precautions against Australia's intentions.

In order to collect intelligence and detailed maps of the geographical environment in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the parliament has officially authorized the Department of Homeland Security to investigate and collect intelligence, and it is not ready in the future.

Liu Yun, who was already prepared, even ordered his subordinates to send more spies from all over the country, and every day, dozens or hundreds of spies disguised as fleeing inevitably or businessmen, and other identities went to major cities to collect intelligence, and some specially trained agents were given a more difficult task, infiltrating the peasant army and Houjin.

The identities of these people are basically secret, and only a few important figures in the Ministry of State Security know about them, and the rest of them do not know at all.

Feng Zihai is one of these secret hidden agents, his identity is a lost merchant on the border of the Ming Dynasty, this period of Houjin did not discriminate against the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and even flattered them, because whether it was from all kinds of food and clothing or the equipment used in the war, many of them relied on the Ming merchants to secretly help transport them to the outside of the customs.

"If it weren't for the constant prying of the corners of the wall by his own people, Daming might not have perished like this." Feng Zihai said with emotion, of course, his emotion came from the identity of a historical traveler, if it was a person in this period, I am afraid he would not have expressed such emotion.

Originally, according to the unwritten appointment regulations within the Traversal Public, dangerous tasks are generally not allowed to be carried out by others, especially the extremely dangerous tasks of hi lurking in the areas ruled by the Later Jin, but Feng Zihai directly sent a telegram asking Liu Yun to send him, and also said the many advantages of his own going, first of all, he is proficient in Manchu, which he learned from some old people when he was teaching in a relatively remote Manchu autonomous village.

Another advantage is that he has been operating in the northwest generation of Daming as a businessman for half a year, and he will not arouse the suspicion of others at all. Even if you suspect him and want to check his identity, you can find it. In addition, his kung fu is also very good, whether it is sanda or taekwondo, or grappling is good, usually five or six people really can't deal with him, if something really happens, he can sneak back as soon as possible.

Combining various advantages, Liu Yun finally agreed to his request, but repeatedly told him to withdraw immediately if he felt the danger, intelligence is not the most important, personnel safety is the most important.

With the task Feng Zihai from the civil strife in the Ming Pass, into the peaceful and peaceful Houjin rule territory, began his own life latent action, many years later Australia produced a latent TV series about the war between the Ming and the Houjin, the original story of this TV series is based on Feng Zihai's real situation.
