Chapter 0431 - Bet

Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao glanced at each other, they couldn't tell whether the emperor's decision was right or wrong, but they both felt that increasing the number of troops at this time seemed to make the burden of the Ming Dynasty increase a lot, and those who were soldiers were to be paid!

I don't know why, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen rarely seems to think of going with his ministers and generals, this was the case in the previous life, and even more so in this life!

But under the conditioning of the emperor's series of big actions, the two of them have fundamentally changed the habit of loving and clashing in the past, and they have become accustomed to obeying the emperor without brains! "Yes."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is very satisfied with the attitude of the two people, what he wants is this, whether you want to get through it or not, you have to do it according to my will!

After Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Keli arranged the complete compilation of the people's household registration, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen told the two people about his decision, and the two people did not say anything, they were happy for Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao, Lu Xiangsheng also felt a little relieved, although in the official position, he and Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao are on par, but he is only in his early thirties, and his military achievements are far inferior to the two veterans, and he has always been very reluctant to go, when the emperor poked the two people to the same military power as him, He will unconsciously feel such a sense of relief.

Yuan Keli was happy, but also fell into deep worry, when he privately accepted the emperor's separate summons on the dragon, the upright old minister did not hide it in the slightest, "Your Majesty, Tianjin has been out of food for several days, and at this time, I am afraid that there will be a big mess in Tianjin!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that the situation in Tianjin was so urgent, but he didn't panic, "Wait for Lin Dan Khan's 15,000 sheep to come." I'll give you 10,000 first! The rest of the army. Let the army be divided. Is 10,000 sheep enough for you to survive a month? ”

Yuan Keli nodded, "That's enough, but it's just winter, and there are still a few months before the New Year, so you can't sit and eat empty?" And in winter, seafood is for such a large food demand. It's just a drop in the bucket, you can't let so many people wait to catch fish and eat, right? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's gaze was very deep! "Don't be nervous, I've already asked someone to contact Zheng Zhilong! As long as he can come and accept the court's recruitment, I plan to emigrate to Korea on a large scale! Use the food of the North Koreans to relieve the pressure of the Daming! ”

Yuan Keli was shocked, he didn't expect the emperor's idea to be so whimsical, how could this be possible? Although North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, how could they agree?

"Your Majesty, Weichen's attitude towards North Korea back then has been clearly reported to the imperial court and has not attracted attention. After a coup d'Γ©tat a few years ago, North Korea is now the king of North Korea by a man named Yi Ju. It was originally his cousin, and he came by usurping power! At that time, the old minister declared to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to come forward to stop such behavior, so as to increase my Ming Dynasty's ability to control North Korea, but unfortunately it was not taken seriously, so the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, although it has always been a relationship between a vassal state and a suzerain, our influence on them is very small. The most important thing is that the Manchus have been coercing North Korea, trying to completely integrate North Korea into their camp, and in the north, my court has no say at all! ”

Yuan Keli thought that these situations might not be clear to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, so he said it in more detail.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly, "Yuan Aiqing, I know all these situations you said!" Isn't this about to regain the right to speak? After Mao Wenlong died, where did North Korea go, this is no less important than Lin Dan Khan's Chahar Department to the Ming Dynasty! As long as there is Zheng Zhilong's battleship, these are not problems! ”

Yuan Keli sighed, knowing that it would be difficult to convince the emperor, "Your Majesty, then, the old minister has the courage to ask you, what will you do if Zheng Zhilong does not accept Zhao'an as you expected?" Tianjin has a total population of more than 200,000, plus the more than 400,000 that you have recently asked your old minister to bring, plus your newly added army of 50,000! The total is close to 700,000! Can the DPRK afford the food pressure of 700,000 people? Even if North Korea can afford it, what will you do if Zheng Zhilong does not come as the emperor expected? 700,000 people make a fuss, and the consequences are ......"

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen knew the consequences that Yuan Keli didn't say, and the consequences were that he could kill all the emperors, and when people were hungry and crazy, it didn't matter if you were the emperor or not!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmly pulled the old man to sit down, "Yuan Aiqing, don't be impatient, the imperial court recruits pirates, Zheng Zhilong has been wanting to surrender to the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, I have already arranged through Cai Shanji to accept the Fujian governor Xiong Wencan Zhao'an, as long as he becomes a court official, leads the original department, garrisons the coast for the Ming Dynasty to prevent pirates and the Dutch from attacking, and can arrive in Tianjin immediately, these can be solved!" I want him to move 500,000 people to North Korea in three batches! I am determined to fight for supremacy in Korea with Huang Taiji! And let Zheng Zhilong lead the army to crusade against other pirate forces!

I have already thought about it, Zheng Zhilong, including Li Kuiqi and Zhong Bin, I have given them officers and commanders. Since he was able to return to his hometown in Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, he became the richest man in the local area, and he was also one of the few pirates who married a Japanese but was still able to officially return to Chinese mainland. I believe he will come according to my plan! ”

In his previous life, Zheng Zhilong accepted the surrender of the Ming court, but at that time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen almost didn't care much about Zheng Zhilong, all Zheng Zhilong's actions were self-sufficient, which is also the place where later generations praised Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son. For history, the Zheng family's father and son are indispensable!

Yuan Keli interjected uneasily, "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for being old, thinking about things will inevitably go to a bad place, this Zheng Zhilong, the old minister has also observed him for a long time!" The old minister has been the governor of Denglai for a long time! Daming Haijiang is even more attentive than other courtiers! Zheng Zhilong used Taiwan's port as a base to plunder Fujian and several places in Guangdong, so that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were exhausted. This man is a pirate! If he is willing to accept the court's recruitment, it is very likely that he will use each other with the court, and he will not really come to surrender! Pirates are bandits, too! If you are a bandit, you have a bandit! They will not accept the reorganization of the imperial court, they will not enter the army sequence of the imperial court, and their surrender must be with some reservations! The emperor must not take it for granted! Don't bet on a gang of pirates for the food of 700,000 people! (To be continued......)
