Upper study.

Zhang Guodong, the commander of the garrison and the marquis of Zhenjiang, raised his concerns, he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, an absolute confidant, and he will not hide anything he says, and he took the opportunity to face the saint and said it directly, he thought that this was a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor.

"Ni Yuanlu and the others are all former Jiangbei Party members, especially since they also plotted with Wu Fu to assassinate His Majesty, it is already an extrajudicial favor for these people to pardon them, so why should they be reinstated?"

"Your Majesty, these people are all rebels against the party, and now they are not only pardoned but also reinstated, isn't this to let the tiger return to the mountain?"

Liu Jun raised his head from the fold in his hand, shook his head and smiled, "Let the tiger return to the mountain?" What kind of tigers are they. These people are useful, because we are not ready to take over this huge court in advance. Now although I am the emperor and the country has changed masters, the sky is still the same day. The Han Empire also needs officials, and my will needs to be conveyed and implemented through these officials. ”

"In the past, we have been developing the power of the military, and we have also developed commerce, but we still lack experience and manpower for administration, especially civilian officials. How is the Emperor's will to be carried out? You have to go through the country. The will of the emperor is the will of the state, but what is the state and how to realize the will of the state, have you thought about this? ”

Zhang Guodong shook his head, a few years ago, he was just a poor mountaineer in the mountainous area of Taiping Township, Macheng, by chance, he took the prey to the county to sell for money, he found that Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang were recruiting Xiangyong, and the treatment given was very good, so he was moved to try it. At that time, he didn't expect to be recruited, he actually just saw that the person who went to the trial could take a baked cake and eat it.

The baked cakes in the county town were too expensive, he was reluctant to buy them, and his stomach was grumbling with hunger.

As a result, this try. tried out the new Zhenjiang Marquis of the Han Empire, the commander of the garrison, and the dignified imperial general. In just a few years, from a mountain man to a marquis, he deeply realized that it was completely because he followed the right person, and he followed the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When the emperor was still just a martial artist, he followed the emperor and followed him all the way to conquer the thorns and thorns, and fought in the north and south. Then he relied on that absolute loyalty to the emperor, and he never hesitated to give the emperor's orders at any time.

The Emperor's sword is pointing. That's what his heart wants.

Loyalty, bravery, followed the right person at the beginning, coupled with his loyalty and bravery, especially when he played for the emperor at several critical times, and finally made him the first group of people to be crowned marquis, among the first batch of marquis, even the emperor's thirteen Taibao of the year, there were only a few.

"Winter dog, you are now also the guard commander of Gyeonggi. There's an old saying you have to remember. You can fight the world immediately, but you can't rule the world right away. Governing the country, after all, is inseparable from those civilian officials, who are more experienced. Fighting wars and administration. Those are two different things that are completely unrelated. ”

"Can't we use our own people?"

"Of course, I also want to use my own people, after all, my own people are more reliable. But where did we come from, our own people are in the army, doing our best. Now he only controls more than ten new armies, and even half of the army in the world has not been controlled. Not to mention the more than 20 provinces in the world, the talents who govern the country and government are not so easy to select. It's not just culture, it's experience. ”

"Maybe in three or five years, we will be able to cultivate a group of real people. But now, we still need Ni Yuanlu and other people. I also know that these people carry thorns, but as long as we take care of them and use them well, even if they are double-edged swords, they will only make us more invincible. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jun raised the fold in his hand.

"Ni Yuanlu was not our own people in the past, but now and in the future, they will be our own people." He threw the fold to Zhang Guodong, "These people are our enemies." ”

Zhang Guodong took the fold and looked at it, although he was a poor boy in the mountains in the past, he had been refining in the melting pot of the Chu Army for many years, and he had also learned a lot of cultural knowledge, and he now knew no less than 3,000 words, and he could write ordinary articles, although the words were still a little ugly.

He skimmed through it and immediately understood what the song was playing.

The Qing army had heard the news of Liu Jun's proclamation as emperor, and they sent an envoy to Beijing to congratulate him, and at the same time, to negotiate peace.

"The Qing captives are obviously congratulating this time, but in fact, they want to take advantage of us, they see that I have established the country and ascended the throne, so they think that the Central Plains will be in civil strife, so they can come to take advantage of the fire to rob, and want to judge us." Liu Jun snorted coldly.

"Qinglu wants to take advantage of the fire to rob? Then we will beat them back and let them steal the chickens and rice. Zhang Guodong said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister requests to lead the army to the battle." ”

Militarily speaking, the time has now come to strike back. It is now the middle of April, and the ice on the Bohai Sea has melted early, which means that the fleet of the Imperial Navy can sail and attack at any time, and the marines can take warships, and even the army can directly take the transport ships under the escort of the naval division, and land anywhere along the coast of western Liaoning, directly intercept the supply lines of the Qing army, and intercept their retreat, cutting off their communication with Liaodong.

They could even directly support Liaodong and launch a round of onslaught against the Qing army's base camp that went straight into the thieves' den.

However, the military has always served politics.

The current situation is not a good time for a large-scale use of troops against foreign countries.

Liu Jun has indeed sat on the dragon chair, but his ass has not yet sat firmly. He had just decreed that all the titles of the Zhu Ming clan should be stripped of and they would be demoted to commoners, and it is conceivable that this edict would definitely trigger a rebellion by many of the Zhu Ming clan.

There are also those officials, gentry, landlords and businessmen in various places, many of whom are dissatisfied because of some of the new policies implemented by Liu Jun before. There will definitely be many people who can't help but jump back this time.

Liu Jun can determine that there will inevitably be a round of rebellion in all parts of the world, and Liu Jun is sure that he can quickly sweep away these rebellions, but he can't prevent these rebellions from happening.

On the eve of this turmoil, Liu Jun had to transfer the imperial army to the Central Plains and to the south.

"The Central Plains can't be chaotic, we have to concentrate our efforts to deal with the upcoming turmoil, do you understand?"

Zhang Guodong nodded, "The minister understands, let him be patient for a while." ”

Three days later, a team of more than 200 people entered the Beijing division under the escort of a Han army. This team is the Qing delegation from outside the Guan, who came to congratulate Liu Jun on his accession to the throne, but actually blackmailed Liu Jun.

On the top of the Golden Palace, Liu Jun sat on the dragon chair, looked at the courtiers in the palace, and said, "Wu Sanguizu Dashou II rebelled to the Qing Dynasty, led the Qing army to attack in a big way, and more than 100,000 enemy troops have been stationed on the Luan River north of the Great Wall for a period of time, and they have been unwilling to withdraw their troops, and the plan is not small. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think should be done? ”

Liu Yun, the governor of Zhili and the Marquis of Changsha, was promoted to the ranks, "Your Majesty, there is only one word for these barbarians and ugly captives of the Qing Dynasty, fight." If you don't hurt him, they won't know how bad. These captives have always been afraid of Wei Huaide, if you treat him well, he will only think that he is weak and can be bullied, and only when it hurts, they will be in awe. ”

Yuan Jixian, the new cabinet assistant, followed.

"Your Majesty, the minister opposes the large-scale use of troops against the East Captives at this time. The most pressing task at present is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world and strive to complete the control of various localities at an early date. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court should be sent to the southeast, southwest, and northwest as soon as possible, so that no ill-intentioned people can take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos in various places, and the fire of turmoil must be extinguished as soon as possible before the chaos starts. As for the Qing Dynasty, we have the defense line of Ning and Yanbei, and even if we send some troops and horses to the south, we are fully capable of keeping the enemy out of the country. ”

The governor of Guanwai, Hou Sui, played.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should first destroy the Qing captives, and then send troops south, and then he can rest easy. If you don't care about the Qing captives, then send troops south, you will have to worry about the future. What's more, the capital division of our Han Empire is in Beijing, and there is only one Great Wall defense line around it, which is too weak and lacks defensive depth. For the sake of the safety of the country, we should also send troops to repel the Qing captives, and then recover the land of western Liaoning and northern Yanbei, so as to strengthen the defense of the Beijing division. ”

Hou Sui is the governor of Guanwai, but now he is a little embarrassed as the governor of Guanwai, only Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are left in Liaoxi, and only Zhenjiang and Lushun are left in Liaodong. He very much hoped that the imperial court could send troops outside the border to at least recapture Liaoxi.

Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also went out to play.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Lu has no credibility at all, not long after the last time he made a peace agreement with the Qing Lu, the Qing Lu immediately tore up the peace agreement and sent troops to attack, even if we reached a peace agreement with the Qing Lu again this time, I am afraid that they will commit it again at any time. Now is a good time to counterattack with troops, the Qing army division north of the Great Wall has been fruitless for a long time, the army is discouraged, and the supply is insufficient, we send troops at this time, just once and for all, otherwise, the Qing captives will be like a spike, will always be stuck in our throats, so that they can not sleep! ”

Yuan Jixian still thinks that there is no need to fight this battle.

"Your Majesty, even if we win this battle, we will not be able to go deep into Liaodong to destroy the Manchus for the time being. On the contrary, we have a strong defense line in Ningyuan and Yanshan, as long as we stick to it, we can be invincible. If the Tartars failed to attack, they could only return in embarrassment. When we control the world, stabilize the situation, and then accumulate strength, and then march eastward, we will be able to complete our efforts in one battle, and eliminate future troubles forever, so why rush for a while. ”

"The envoy of the Qing Kingdom has come to the palace to meet you!"

The eunuchs chanted loudly, and a moment later, under the leadership of two small eunuchs, the Manchu envoys stepped into the main hall. The messenger was dressed in a bearskin robe, with a slender rat tail dragging from the back of his head.

"The envoy of the Great Qing Dynasty, Babutai, paid a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty and asked His Majesty to accept the congratulations of my Great Qing Kingdom." As he spoke, Babutai presented a gift list.

Four horses, six mink skins, eight catties of ginseng, twelve top-quality East Pearls, thirty-six catties of gold, and one thousand taels of silver.

Liu Jun listened to the eunuch's singing and drinking, and just smiled lightly, and a little gift couldn't get into his eyes at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has a letter of state to present to Your Majesty, it is a matter of good cooperation between the two families."

When the national credentials were presented, it was not surprising that it talked about the two families negotiating peace again. Liu Jun only wants to describe the conditions offered by the Qing people in one word, that is, arrogance.

"Your condition is that my Han will cede all the land outside the Guanxi to the Manchu Qing, and give the Manchus five million silver coins every year in the future, and the Qing will give mink, ginseng, pearls, wood, etc. as a reward?"

Babutai's head was raised high, and his nostrils were about to turn to the sky, "Exactly. (To be continued.) )
