Chapter 325: The Land of the Southwest

"Hmm. The crown prince's policy in Mongolia was very good. Whether it is a conversion to the Yellow Religion or a heart to Confucianism, it will help to maintain long-term peace and stability." Chongzhen nodded and praised, "Dacheng, open the map sent by the prince."

Mo Dacheng heard the order and took the map and quickly spread it out.

Chongzhen took a closer look at the newly demarcated administrative area in the north, and was very satisfied, and frowned when he saw the place name.

Mo Dacheng immediately sensed Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, and whispered, "This picture is really good, and the name of the place is also appropriate."

"Appropriate?"

Chongzhen looked at the name of the place and was very displeased, "Where is this appropriate, it is inferiority! It's not confident!"

Mo Dacheng looked at the name of the place again, very puzzled, "Not confident?"

"Hey......" Chongzhen sighed, "I have long said that the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty is not in Liaodong, but in the further north, in the Luo Wilderness, in the Arctic Ocean.

Now, the prince named the newly established prefectures of Songhua River and Heilongjiang as Dingbei Mansion, Anbei Mansion, Jingbei Mansion and Pingbei Mansion, and also renamed Tieling Zhenbei Mansion.

Why, the north side of the Ming Dynasty is there?"

Mo Dacheng immediately understood, nodded incessantly, and changed his words, "The name of North Korea is much more appropriate than Liaodong."

Chongzhen still didn't like it, "It's not right there!"

Mo Dacheng asked, "The Liaodong jurisdiction envelops the three northern provinces of North Korea and divides its people. At the same time, the DPRK was renamed the town of Dongbu Political Envoy.

Seoul was changed to Andong Province, Pyongyang Province was changed to Pyongdong Province, Incheon and Busan also set up Jingdong Port and Jeongdong Port according to the emperor's wishes, and even Ningdong Province and Yeondong Province, isn't it all good?"

Chongzhen rolled his eyes: "Look at it, what are the names, Ping, Ding, An, Ning, what, North Korea is attached, and I'm afraid that he will run away and be chaotic, and Daming will bother to pacify?" Afraid that he will not be at peace?

Don't forget, to the east of the Ming Dynasty, there are not only Korea, but also Japan, Ryukyu, and Taiwan. These names should be kept for later use!"

Mo Dacheng instantly understood that the emperor's ambition had already jumped out of the country laid by Taizu and Chengzu!

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see."

"Okay, let's make a decree for me."

……

Lushun.

Zheng Zhibao looked at his nephew Zheng Sen sadly.

"Fusong, the emperor is so strategic, and he pacified King Xiaofu so quickly, I'm afraid Fujian won't be able to survive next spring, your father, our Zheng family, will it be destroyed?"

Zheng Sen's face was also solemn.

"Uncle, my letter to my father is probably coming, I hope my father can find his way back."

"Hey...... I'm not just worried about the clan, but also about the two of us, in case the clan is wiped out, will the emperor be able to tolerate us?"

Zheng Zhibao looked left and right, "Although you and I are in charge of the Dengzhou Sailor and the Lushun Sailor, in the past six months, the imperial court has placed many people in our Sailor. In case the emperor wants to get rid of us......

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Sen stopped his uncle sharply, "The emperor has a lot of trust in my uncle and nephew, uncle can't figure it out!"

"Hey, isn't this the clan supporting the Tang King! Ay...... Hey......" Zheng Zhibao sighed repeatedly.

Zheng Sen said firmly, "The emperor will not be suspicious of us! Uncle, don't forget, the imperial court has recalled Lord Fan back, Zhang Huangyan has also gone to North Korea to take up a post, and Lushun is actually up to you.

On the Dengzhou side, although there are some generals arranged by the imperial court, all the power is in the hands of his nephew. If the imperial court does not trust us, how can it be possible to hand over the two most important military ports in the north to our uncle and nephew.

In addition, the steam engine newly invented by the Shengong Academy has already begun to be installed on our ironclad ships, and the imperial court has not avoided us with such an artifact."

Zheng Zhibao nodded when he heard this, "Also, if that thing is really as magical as the Divine Academy said, it must be a great killer weapon on the sea."

Zheng Sen thought of the huge machine and the propeller designed by the emperor, and his heart was shocked.

He'd seen the machine in action, and once it was installed, it would change the ocean.

No matter how strong the red-haired man is, as long as he faces the ironclad ship in the Lushun shipyard, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of sinking.

"Uncle, you and I can prepare for war with peace of mind. My nephew thinks that sooner or later, the emperor will send us south to join the war!"

Zheng Zhibao was stunned: "Order us to go south and attack the Zheng family's sailors?"

"It's co-optation! It must be co-opted! Father will never go his own way against the imperial court!"

……

Nanking.

Chen Yongfu marched towards the Nanjing Imperial Palace with excited steps.

He is now an important minister by the emperor's side, and he has almost taken on all the duties of Gaodi, and he knows all kinds of news by heart.

For all kinds of things up and down the Ming Dynasty, there is also an overall grasp.

It has been four months since the army marched south, and the imperial court has wiped out all the enemies in the Yangtze River valley with a thunderous force, and the new policies such as land division have been fully rolled out, and the government affairs and people's livelihood in various places have also been stabilized.

The former Zuo Battalion was reorganized and renamed the Pingxi Army, which had entered Sichuan and fought several times with Sun Kewang, although each had its own victories and defeats, but Sun Kewang was obviously at a disadvantage.

Daxi, who lost Li Dingguo, can be said to be in decline, and even the weakest army of the Ming Dynasty could not compete.

In addition, the Leping Mansion in Guangxi sent news that Li Guo, the remnants of the army, had crossed Leping and killed the people. Chongzhen was furious, and directly recruited Li Dingguo, who was going to Annam, suspended the original marching plan, and went to conquer Li Guo.

Although Chen Yongfu could not fully trust Li Dingguo, he believed in Li Dingguo's combat strength and was very relieved about the war in Guangxi.

After receiving the news of Chongzhen's summons this morning, Chen Yongfu vaguely guessed that the emperor was going to conquer Fujian.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the Jinshen Palace, he saw Chongzhen seriously looking at the map of Fujian on the wall.

Chongzhen heard Chen Yongfu's footsteps, and said without looking back, "Xirui, if I leave the matter of the southern expedition to you to the south, what will you do?"

Chen Yongfu was very excited when he heard Chongzhen call himself a cousin, and knelt down and said, "I will do my best in the end!"

"Whoever asked you to show your loyalty, I asked you to tell me about the strategy of marching. Get up first and tell me what you think."

Chen Yongfu got up after thanking him and said his strategy layout concisely.

Chongzhen nodded again and again after hearing this, "Your strategy is very good, so let's do it!" Tomorrow, I will issue an order for you to go south to conquer Fujian, and to appease Liangguang by the way."

Chen Yongfu was surprised, "Doesn't the emperor drive the expedition?"

"There's no big war, I won't do anything! In addition, I have to coordinate the war in the southwest, so it is difficult to run around."

Chen Yongfu was new to Chongzhen's side, and he couldn't let go, although he had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask questions directly, so he just stood silently and didn't say a word.

Chongzhen knew that he was restrained, so he directly explained his doubts, "When I became an ancestor, I set up eight lands directly under the Ming Dynasty, including the Laos Propaganda Division, the Dabang Propaganda Division, and the Cheli Propaganda Division, in the southwest.

Among them, the Tagula Propaganda Division and the Myanmar Propaganda Division are both from the sea."
