Chapter 0418 Diplomacy

Wang Chengen responded, "Gonggong Cao is maintaining the compilation of the Chongzhen dictionary, the old slave has some things, originally to report to the Lord of Long Live tomorrow, I want to discuss it with Gonggong Cao first, and now that the Lord of Long Live is here, I will pick the important thing to tell the Lord of Long Life." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen went to Wang Chengen's place and sat down, "Didn't I have a word a long time ago?" No matter how important things are, do you tell them as soon as possible? ”

Wang Chengen took a letter sealed in a big cowhide from the table, "This is sent by Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia, the news that the old slave got it, Huang Taiji is also not idle in this winter, and the Houjin has completed the establishment of the imperial court rules and regulations, following the exact same set of political systems as my holy dynasty, and began to exert diplomatic pressure on Mongolia and Korea, wanting them to stand with the Houjin, so that my Ming Dynasty will completely fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness in the entire north!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, opened the letter and read it, this is a kind of national letter! This is the first time he has come into contact with the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty since he was reborn! He probably knew what Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun thought, Da Ming was so weak that he didn't have the heart to understand his own affairs, this kind of border affairs, suing himself didn't have much effect, and he was afraid that he would be in a hurry.

A year before the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne, the Houjin Empire in the northeastern part of the Ming Empire completed the transfer of power in a thrilling situation. After Nurhachi's death, his eighth emperor, Taiji, ascended the throne of the Great Khan with the year name "Tiancong". This new generation of leaders of the Later Jin Dynasty, whose military talents are slightly inferior to his father's, but whose political talents are much higher than his father's, have the same ambitions as his father. From the very beginning of his succession, he set a strategic policy - to constantly harass the borders of the Ming Dynasty. Plunder the population and resources as much as possible, strengthen your own strength, and "wait for the destiny of heaven". Starting from Nurhachi, the Houjin Empire approached the Ming Kingdom step by step from east to west, until it faced the Shanhaiguan Pass, which was the "first pass in the world", and since then Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan have become an insurmountable barrier for the Houjin. But without entering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to grab enough people and materials. Huang Taiji set his sights on the north of the Ming Dynasty, the area north of Zunhua - Horqin Grassland.

There, it was also the sphere of influence of the last Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Lin Dan Khan. Lin Dan Khan fought bravely and skillfully. There is full vigilance against the gradually rising Houjin Empire. He worked hard to gather the tribes of the Mongol Empire to prepare for the resistance of the Houjin, but he also understood that there were many internal contradictions, and the Mongols could not succeed on their own. The best way is to fight against gold. He sent an invitation to the Ming Empire to form an alliance.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at the letter of invitation to form an alliance. Nodding, "Of course!" Lin Dan Khan is a friend of my Daming! Why is it that only Manchu and Mongolia can unite? One of the mistakes that we Han people love to make is to think too highly of ourselves! Han and Mongolia can form an alliance as well! It's not just about alliances. I also want to give people support them sincerely! ”

Wang Chengen nodded, "Your Majesty, the old slave also got the news, it was a secret performance reported by the secret agent of the Jinyi Wei in Liaodong, and the Mongolian tribes attached to the Huang Taiji in Shenyang were attached to the alliance, and the purpose of the alliance was to conquer the Chahar department of Lin Dan Khan, which was also the first time that the Manchus formed a truly cooperative Manchu and Mongolian alliance. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stared at the night outside the window, "We must not allow this situation to continue to deteriorate, if Huang Taiji completely controls the entire Mongolia, then the north of my Ming Dynasty will all fall into the scope of Huang Taiji's blow, and this gap in blood loss will become bigger and bigger, one day, this gap will be able to fit the entire Ming Dynasty!" Damn Liaodong Tugou killed Mao Wenlong, and now the life of the North Koreans is also sad! Once the balance between Korea and Mongolia is lost, Huang Taiji can hit us whenever he wants, and he will hit the Ming whenever he wants! No matter how strong a person is, he can't stand such a continuous punch from others! ”

Listening to what the emperor said was vulgar, but it was very vivid, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun both fell into deep worry! Da Ming is really too difficult, and their gang of eunuchs are too difficult! In the past, the emperor did not deal with government affairs, and these things also had a psychological buffer, and they could also be buffered by the court meeting, but now Long Live Lord is directly sitting in the middle academy, and all the decisions suddenly fell directly on the emperor and the two of them! The consequences can be imagined!

No matter how big the emperor's brand is! It's not like you can carry everything!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw that Cao Huachun had not spoken, and was a little unhappy, "Cao Huachun, didn't I tell you, if you have something to say, just say it directly?" The most annoying like this! ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly responded, "Long live the lord, it's not that the old slave doesn't say it, the old slave really hasn't thought about it, in fact, the problems in every place are almost the same, they are all money and food problems, our own situation, the emperor is already very clear, let's form an alliance, it can only be just a verbal shì, we really want to come up with actual support, what can we get?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was not angry, Cao Huachun was telling the truth! For the organization of a national carrier, a few million silver is about the same as a wave in the sea! Besides, Daming is only in and out now! There is no entry, this is the most terrible truth!

"Wang Chengen, didn't I appoint you the position of president of the Daming Grain Reserve Management Corporation? Let you just turn silver into food? What the hell is going on now? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen asked.

Wang Chengen was stunned for a moment, that matter, you only told the old slave today, as for what kind of company is this, didn't you say that you want to help establish it yourself? The old slave hasn't been a company either, has he? "Your Majesty, you are still in preparation, and you can only buy food with silver in the vicinity of the Gyeonggi area, but what are the surrounding areas of the Gyeonggi region in our Ming Dynasty? Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, where is not the place of poor jingle bells? Far away, the carriage and horses are inconvenient, and the Ming Dynasty now has almost no control over the south! The rebel army of Southern Jiangxi (now southern Jiangxi Province) seized the Sannan region of southern Jiangxi, established the first year of Yongxing, led the people to break through the county seat of Anyuan, and robbed the warehouse and released prisoners. Shen Kefeng of An Yuanzhi County fled. Governor Hong Zhanzu reported that the entire Jiangxi and Hunan were implicated, and now not only the north, but even the south has become a pot of porridge! The gang of people in Nanzhili and those who were deposed and killed in your Jingcha plan, and even the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, are all connected from top to bottom, and if you pull a shot, your whole body will be moved! Now the aftermath of your plan has begun to erupt gradually. (To be continued......)
