Zhu Zhang's face became solemn when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Sir, you are right, the situation on the northeast border is very sensitive, and the invasion of the Jurchens has brought a great threat to the Ming Dynasty, and we must find a way to deal with it. ”

Lin Che said solemnly: "That's the case, in terms of government affairs, we can strengthen the management of the northeast border and increase the investment of the army to ensure the tranquility of the border." ”

"At the same time, we can also strengthen exchanges with other ethnic minorities and enlist their support to jointly deal with the Jurchen invasion."

Zhu Fan nodded and thought about Lin Che's suggestion: "Sir, your idea is very reasonable, if we want to ensure the security of the Ming border, we must start from many aspects, and we must not relax our vigilance." ”

Lin Che smiled slightly.

Zhu Fan looked at Lin Che with emotion and said, "Sir, thank you for your contribution to Daming all the time, you are my only respectable gentleman." ”

Lin Che said indifferently: "You kid still knows what I taught you, and it's not in vain that I taught you so much." ”

"Don't say so much, let's get down to business."

Lin Che knocked on the table.

When Zhu Fan heard Lin Che's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Aren't we cage Jurchens to control raze?" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Are the Jurchens our enemies? Our main goal is how to submit them. ”

Lin Che smiled slightly and explained, "Although the Jurchens are our enemies, their ruling power in the Northeast Region is growing stronger day by day. ”

Zhu Fan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is this reliable?" ”

Lin Che smiled slightly, took out a secret report from his pocket, and handed it to Zhu Zhang, who took the secret report, read it carefully, and his face gradually became solemn.

The secret report detailed the details of the Jurchens infiltrating the Northeast Guard, and these Jurchens disguised themselves as Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, mingled with real officers and soldiers, and quietly promoted the rebellion plan.

They coerced and lured, drew discord, and gradually eroded the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Fan put down the secret report, looked at Lin Che with a solemn look, and asked, "This matter is very important, how should we deal with it?" ”

After Lin Che pondered for a moment, he slowly spoke: "I have learned the specific purpose of the Jurchens, which is to destroy my Ming rule. ”

"They planned to start a rebellion in the northeast region, then expand the scale of the rebellion, and unite other hostile forces to eventually overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

A firm light flashed in Zhu Zhang's eyes, and he made up his mind: "Since this is the case, we can't sit still, we must take immediate action to eliminate these Jurchen lurkers and surround the safety of Daming." ”

Lin Che knew that Zhu Zhang's determination had been made, he looked at Zhu Fan seriously, and said seriously: "This matter is dangerous, we need to make a detailed plan, and at the same time, we also need reliable intelligence sources, I have a candidate, he is experienced and witty, and can provide us with accurate information." ”

Zhu Fan stared at Lin Che tightly and asked, "Who are you referring to?" ”

Lin Che smiled and revealed the answer: "That person is Jinyiwei, Liu Lin, the Jinyiwei Qianhu who went with you to subdue the Tanmin last time, he has excellent reconnaissance ability and military talent, he can provide us with accurate information, so that we can win in the operation." ”

Zhu Fan's heart moved when he heard this, "Can he really do it?" ”

Lin Che nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "His loyalty has long been proven, and he has the same goal as Your Highness, that is, to escort Da Ming, I believe he will join without hesitation." ”

Zhu Fan nodded excitedly: "Sir, we need to take the opportunity to act quickly to crack down on these Jurchen lurkers." ”

Lin Che looked at Zhu Fan into the play, and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't say it, you're pretty much like that."

Lin Che glanced at Zhu Zhang, and he really thought he was an official.

"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble, let's be serious."

Lin Che waved his hand to stop him from joking with Zhu Zhang.

"Have you ever heard a word?"

"The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible."

Zhu Fan hadn't heard this and didn't understand the meaning of it, so Lin Che explained.

"This sentence, 'Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible' comes from the folk song of the northern Liaodong region."

Zhu Fan nodded with interest, indicating that he understood.

Lin Che continued: "Because of the harsh living environment, the Jurchens are in a state of economic and cultural backwardness, and they are eager for wealth and technology from the outside world, so they show a great yearning for culture and goods from the Central Plains. ”

Zhu Fan had a thoughtful look on his face, and he seemed to be beginning to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Lin Che continued: "But the Jurchens also have their own characteristics, and their religious beliefs, living customs and cultural traditions are very different from those of the Central Plains. ”

"They insisted on their ethnic consciousness and self-esteem, and did not want to become vassals of the Central Plains culture, so the Jurchens rejected all foreign interference and aggression, even including the Manchus from the Manchurian region of eastern Liaodong."

Zhu Fan listened with relish and asked curiously: "How did the Manchus achieve 'invincible'?" ”

Lin Che replied with a smile: "The Manchus, they are an important branch of the Jurchens, and after communicating and integrating with the Jurchens, they have formed a more powerful nation. ”

"Through their own efforts, they have built a sound military organization and social system, and often fought against foreign enemies, so there is a saying that 'Manchu is invincible'."

Zhu Fan nodded, finally understanding the meaning of this.

Lin Che saw Zhu Zhang's interest, so he continued to explain: "In history, the Manchus have fought many wars with ethnic groups in other regions and defeated many powerful enemies. ”

"In the process, the Manchus gradually became stronger and became the main ethnic group in northeastern China, and, under the rule of the Manchus, the Jurchens developed and prospered to a certain extent."

Zhu Fan couldn't help but sigh: "I see, this sentence means that the Jurchens are a force that cannot be underestimated, and the strength of the Manchus is also supported by strength and background." ”

Lin Che nodded approvingly and said: "Although the various statements of the Jurchen may not be accurate, only by obtaining information through legitimate channels and verifying it can the truth be obtained." ”

"It's a smart choice for you to be able to get interested in this sentence."

Then Lin Che continued to tell the history of the Jurchen Manchus, while Zhu Fan listened quietly.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is very important to understand the background of the ethnic group and region.

In this way, we can better rule and protect all the people in the world and make the country prosperous.

Time passed quietly in Lin Che's lecture, and the dialogue between Zhu Fan and Lin Che was not completely over, but only temporarily placed at this node.
