Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 1037 News about Hauge

King Fu's request was not difficult. Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "If the emperor has doubts, you can ask the prince to go to the Tang Dynasty to see how the Tang Dynasty is doing? As for the safety issue, I will let Mr. Min Ge be responsible. There will be no problem.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Prince Fu's reply, he turned to look at Zhu Yousong and asked, "How about it? There are some roads to the Tang Kingdom. Although the prince is relatively young, I wonder if he can withstand the fatigue of the journey?"

There was a hint of excitement in these words. When King Fu heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that this nephew emperor was not a simple person. His words and deeds were hard to guard against.

If it were normal, this matter would actually be decided by King Fu. But when Emperor Chongzhen asked, Zhu Yousong immediately blurted out: "Your Majesty, of course not!"

"Oh, is it okay for you to go to Tang Dynasty?" Emperor Chongzhen confirmed immediately.

Zhu Yousong listened and nodded immediately. Just when he was about to speak, he realized that his father had not agreed yet! So, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and looked at his father.

In this case, what else could King Fu do but nod in agreement.

When Zhu Yousong saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He is a little older than King Tang, but both of them are young people. Now that the Tang Dynasty has established the Tang Kingdom, if what His Majesty said is true, he will be able to inherit a throne from his father and become a kingdom that is truly the master of the country. He keeps his word, promotes whoever he likes, pulls out and chops whoever he dislikes, and does whatever he wants with his golden words...

Emperor Chongzhen did not know what the little fat man was thinking, but gave Prince Fu a brief introduction to the situation in Annan, and said to him: "One thing must be explained in advance. The cost of changing the vassal state has to be borne by the vassal king. Paying for yourself, that is, following the model of the Tang Dynasty, has proven to be feasible. After the prince goes to the Tang Kingdom, if you have any questions, you can always ask the Tang Dynasty King for advice."

After hearing this, King Fu frowned and looked sad. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen anticipated what he was going to say and immediately said: "I will naturally consider it for your uncle. I will save more money if I can." . Therefore, I decided to send Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, to Guangxi to help the emperor bring down Annan. What does the emperor think, or do I need another person?"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jianlu were raging, and the Ming army was defeated again and again. The Jianlu even reached the capital and besieged the capital. When it comes to chaos in border areas, Liaodong is naturally the worst. But in terms of scale, the She'an Rebellion in the southwest was also huge. The difference between the two is that the Ming army in Liaodong was incompetent and could not contain the rebels; but in the southwest, it was Zhu Xieyuan who turned the tide. Therefore, due to his meritorious service in the She'an Rebellion, Zhu Xieyuan was promoted from the chief envoy of Xichuan to the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and also added a young division to Zuozhuguo.

Maybe future generations have no idea about Zuo Zhuguo, but it will be clear if we give an example. When Taizu founded the country, Li Shanchang and Xu Da were granted the title of Zuozhuguo; in the early days of Zhengde, Liu Jian was granted the title of Zuozhuguo as the minister of Gu Ming; in addition, there were Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, etc. Only the most powerful chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty had this title.

Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan's reputation is still very loud. Even King Fu, who only knows about eating, drinking and having fun, also knows about him.

At this time, when King Fu heard that Zhu Xieyuan was sent to help him fight Annan, he immediately gained confidence and felt happy. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Yousong spoke first: "Your Majesty, Governor Denglai is the most powerful. I didn't know he... "

Lu Xiangsheng began to stand out from the time when Jianlu invaded the capital. Against the fierce Manchu Qing Dynasty, not only did he not defend the city undefeated like others, he also often took the initiative to attack and made achievements again and again. His reputation is at its loudest now, so no wonder Zhu Yousong wants to choose him.

Emperor Chongzhen spoke just now, although he asked politely if he wanted to change someone. But King Fu knew that, so the emperor appointed Zhu Xieyuan and asked politely if he wanted to replace him, which was just a polite gesture. If we really want to change people, the emperor might be unhappy. After all, Zhu Xieyuan is already very powerful, so why should he be picky?

However, King Fu thought wrong this time. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at Zhu Yousong. He was not annoyed, but just smiled and explained: "Governor Denglai Shanmazhan is currently on the battlefield in Liaodong. For the time being, Can't leave. Annan is located in the south, with a hot climate, mountains, rain, and lush trees, which is completely different from the north. The environment of Zhu Xieyuan's generation in the southwest is not much different from Annan. I think that if Prince Fu's Mansion wants to save money If you want to get Fuguo at the lowest cost, Zhu Xieyuan is the best choice!"

After hearing this, King Fu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his son would be rash again, so he quickly said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"

Zhu Yousong heard that what the emperor said made sense, and since his father had agreed first, he kept silent.

Seeing that there was no problem with the selection, Emperor Chongzhen discussed with them the things to be done in the early stage, such as allocating some money, arranging a detailed mission to Annan, and collecting information on mountains, rivers, geography, officials and soldiers, etc. The rest of the matter will have to wait until Prince Fu returns from Tang.

Annan is really not in a hurry. Zhu Xieyuan has not yet been transferred from the northwest, and there is a war between the north and the south in Annan. Let them consume it first, and Ming Dynasty can also concentrate on solving the Jianlu in Liaodong first.

After Prince Fu and his son bid farewell and left, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group to read the news and relax.

Unexpectedly, he just went online and saw Liu Jinsheng's private message sent to him. Emperor Chongzhen clicked it and took a look, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, haha, not bad!

This private chat was actually initiated by Zheng Zhilong and asked by Liu Jinsheng. Zheng Zhilong's people came back from the Japanese country and brought back news that the Japanese country was at war on Kyushu Island, which is close to North Korea. It turns out that Toyotomi Kunimatsu, the grandson of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, suddenly rose to power and already occupied half of Kyushu Island. His men had an army that was very capable of fighting. They were much taller than the Japanese, and they were all very brave. They were also good at dealing with the Japanese shotguns, and they often defeated the enemy's entire army. Now the Tokugawa shogunate attaches great importance to this. While asking people to investigate the origin of that army, they are gathering heavy troops and preparing to send them to Kyushu to suppress the rebellion.

Zheng Zhilong was very sure that this army was the Manchu army. He asked Liu Jinsheng to ask for instructions whether he needed to inform the Tokugawa shogunate or join forces with the Tokugawa shogunate to deal with the Manchu army. He believed that with the Manchu and Qing troops helping Toyotomi Kunimatsu in the rebellion, the Tokugawa shogunate would agree to join forces with the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Manchus.

Emperor Chongzhen actually knew about the Manchu Qing's dispatch of troops to the Japanese country for a long time. Moreover, he was happy to see the Manchus and the Japanese countries fighting, and he was creating this trend, and would drive more Manchus to the Japanese countries later. To inform the Japanese country at this time and form an alliance with the Japanese country, wouldn't it be like shooting oneself in the foot?

However, Zheng Zhilong didn't know this strategy, so it wasn't surprising that he told the Japanese about dealing with the Manchus. Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought that he should send a member of the chat group to stay in the Japanese country to provide feedback on the war situation in the Japanese country at any time, so that he could grasp the situation in time.

Nowadays, there are many people in the chat group, and there are many in the south. It is completely possible to investigate one and let Zheng Zhilong's people take him to Japan. With this in mind, he ordered Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to tell him about the matter and let him handle it.

After doing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Liaodong Jianlu. Since the capture of Anshan Posthouse last year, there has been no major war, but the pressure on Liaoyang has been maintained. Fierce scout battles broke out from time to time in the front, and the outcome was always between five and five.

The reason why the victory rate in the scout battle was lower than that in Haizhou was not that the Ming army was incompetent, but that Liaoyang was the gateway to Shenyang, the capital of the captives, and there was absolutely no room for failure. Amin was in charge of the Anshan Inn, and the only ones he used were scout horses under the banner of Amin. But here in Liaoyang, there are Tanma from the entire Jianlu Six Banners (Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner are both in North Korea, so they are not included). The reason why the scout battle can maintain a 50-50 victory rate is because the Ming Dynasty has high morale, well-equipped equipment, and the support of the horses and knights in Guihua City. Otherwise, with these elite soldiers who built the army and scouted the horses, the Ming army would still not be able to achieve a 50-50 victory rate.

On the Shenyang side, because Hauge secretly defected to the Ming Dynasty, no matter what his reasons were, at least on the surface, he had been continuously conveying news through Qian Fugui. This made Emperor Chongzhen know that Huang Taiji had not given up the struggle and sent troops to the north. While plundering the Jurchens, they burned, killed and looted, and robbed all the inhabited places in the north to feed his army.

In addition, Huang Taiji also attached great importance to North Korea, and repeatedly rewarded Dorgon, the emperor's brother in North Korea, with gifts and compliments every three days. The plundered Jurchens will also be rewarded with Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner. Of course, Huang Taiji also asked North Korea to transport some food to Liaodong.

Emperor Chongzhen remained cautious about the news from Hauge and did not take any action. In fact, it was winter before, and this climate could not allow the Ming army to display its strength. The Jianlu were active in the north, and if the Ming army wanted to bypass and intervene, the cost would be too high and unrealistic. As for traveling to and from North Korea, Emperor Chongzhen always asked Lu Xiangsheng to send Ye Bushou to verify. There have been three verified messages, and the messages Hauge sent are true.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, suddenly Qian Fugui's icon shook, and a private message was sent. When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he clicked on it and read: "The slave chief Taiji estimated that the Ming Dynasty might take action after the spring, so he sent Beilazig to North Korea with a large number of Jurchens and their belongings, requesting that within a month As much food as possible must be brought back.”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel happy, but before he could think of how to deal with this message, the next private message was sent: "The slave chief Taiji received news from North Korea, saying that there was shipment from Japan. A large amount of food. Moreover, in the previous exchanges, Huang Taiji had invited many times, and Dorgon also relented. This time, Dorgon and Duduo's half-brothers were sent there in order to increase their confidence and luck. Come and get as much food as possible.”

Emperor Chongzhen saw him and waited for a while. He didn't see any more private messages, so those were the two messages.

After winter passed, Emperor Chongzhen actually had no plans to start a war immediately. He thought that before the Qing Dynasty was about to harvest, when the food supply was definitely at its lowest, he would do the conquest in person, which should have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. However, Huang Taiji believed that transporting grain from North Korea to Liaodong was not allowed. Or, this time, it’s time to take action!

With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Wei Mulan's icon, informed Lu Xiangsheng of the news, and asked him to send out Ye Bushou to verify the news. If Azig really went to North Korea with the baby girl and his belongings, then don't alert him and wait for Azig to return from North Korea before choosing a good location to take action.

After the contact was made, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it again and felt a little funny. Huang Taiji definitely couldn't be that kind to Dorgon, he should just be taking advantage of him. But that idiot Hauge couldn't see through this. The better Huang Taiji was to Dorgon, the emperor's brother, the more he would hate Huang Taiji in his heart and wish that Manqing would perish as soon as possible. Huang Taiji is also a good opponent, but he has a cheating son, haha...

After laughing for a while, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the news and suddenly realized that the news in North Korea was a bit untimely. If there were people in the chat group there, it would be very convenient to keep track of the dynamics of North Korea's captives.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, glanced at the series of numbers in the lower left corner of the chat group, smiled slightly in his heart, and started to click the add button again. According to the past behavior of the chat group, there should be a suitable newcomer!

Ten were added in one breath. When Emperor Chongzhen saw the name of the tenth newcomer, he couldn't help but feel that it looked familiar. After thinking for a while, and thinking about the purpose of adding people this time, he suddenly remembered that this man named Wu Daji was from North Korea. He had been on a mission to the Ming Dynasty before, and he had met him once.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious. Wu Daji seemed to admire the Ming Dynasty very much and was the main war faction in Korea against the captives. Now that North Korea has been actually occupied by the Manchus for so many years, he is still alive? Or did he survive because he changed his original intention to support the Manchus?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried. Could it be that they have the same name? So, he directly chatted with Wu Dalji privately: "Are you Wu Dalji, a North Korean official?"

I don’t remember his official position. If I ask him this way, I should be able to find out if he is the Wu Daji in my memory.

After waiting for a while, Wu Daji replied: "Exactly, I wonder who the leader of the group is?"

The system instilled in him the background of the chat group, and at the same time, it naturally made him understand that this Pudu sentient being was the leader of the chat group. No matter what, his curiosity was inevitable.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that it was indeed the one in his memory, he asked curiously: "As far as I know, you seem to have a heart for the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that you have changed your original intention?"

Thanks to the pretty little pig, anniexie for the reward!
