Chongzhen Chat Group

The Japanese country has a knot in the mind of future generations. Emperor Chongzhen, whose soul comes from later times, is no exception. For the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country was not a good thing. It launched two large-scale wars during the Wanli period just to defeat the Ming Dynasty; not to mention the Jianlu, it was also not a good thing. In the original history, the harm to the land of China was even more severe. Wouldn't it be great if the two of them were allowed to go dog-eat-dog first, and then Daming would clean up the mess in the end?

Of course, there are also practical benefits. At least the sulfur and silver mines of the Japanese country, and if the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer America in the future, the geographical location of the Japanese country is also very important.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he unconsciously considered a lot in his mind. He is not worried about the alliance between Jianlu and Japan. As long as Jianlu is forced to Japan, there will be conflicts between them on just a few islands. In other words, the key now is how to force Jianlu to go to Japan? After thinking for a while, I learned too little about the situation and couldn't think of anything.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and remembered that Zheng Zhilong's wife seemed to be from the Japanese country, and he had a home there. So, he clicked on Liu Jinsheng's icon and conveyed his message to Zheng Zhilong, asking him to send people to the Japanese country to inquire about the situation. Then, he clicked on the status of the members of the chat group in Liaodong and asked them to collect relevant information.

After asking this question, a situation suddenly caught the attention of Emperor Chongzhen.

Qian Fugui said that since the Chinese New Year, Huang Taiji has been repeatedly emphasizing farming. He even personally took Jianlu's civil and military officials out of the city and plowed the fields in person to show his respect. Recently, special inspection envoys have even been dispatched to inspect farming conditions in various places.

The news from Hailanzhu said that in the north of Shenyang, the Jianlu troops were sending troops to plunder Jurchens on a large scale to recruit soldiers, while at the same time they were appointing Han ministers and calling on Han people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army to reclaim wasteland and turn it into grain fields on a large scale. If this continues, it is estimated that Jianlu will regain a lot of combat power by next year.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, and Jianlu sealed the city gates at Anshan Posthouse, making it clear that he meant to abandon the coastal area. His feelings were to farm behind closed doors and recuperate!

Haha, Huang Taiji, I don’t want you to do what you want to do!

So, he immediately pulled up a temporary group, including Gao Yingyuan (Cao Bianjiao), Wei Mulan (Lu Xiangsheng), Liu Wangshi (Sun Chengzong), and Li Dingguo (Cao Wenzhao), and introduced the situation and himself. the goal of.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Cao thought that Jianlu's Tanma was beaten so hard that he did not dare to leave the city. Now our army has a great advantage and we can launch a war and defeat Jianlu!" Li Dingguo first spoke in the temporary group.

Emperor Chongzhen did not speak immediately, waiting for other courtiers to express their opinions.

Sure enough, Wang Liu also spoke quickly, but objected: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge believes that the current material reserves are not enough to launch a war against Jianlu. It is estimated that it will take about a year to prepare."

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng is still in Dengzhou and said that he wants to go to Jinzhou immediately to check the military situation on the spot before making a decision." Wei Mulan followed, "If the court wants to fight, he can bring some grain and grass from Dengzhou, and then from Jinzhou The state sent troops to respond.”

"Your Majesty, General Cao said that if there is a war, he is willing to be the vanguard!" This was Gao Yingyuan's speech.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that several parties had spoken. When he was about to speak, he saw Wei Mulan sending another message: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng believes that from a large perspective, our army is not ready for war and it is inconvenient to launch a war. . But from another perspective, Jianlu is not the same. At this time, they should not want to fight the least. Lu Zhongcheng thinks that in principle, they can fight a dozen, or send cavalry to attack Jianlu as before. Grain fields, let Jianlu’s grain harvest fail again!”

"Your Majesty, no." Liu Wang spoke, objecting on behalf of Sun Chengzong, "Mr. Ge thinks that with the strength of our Ming Dynasty, we can kill all the Jianlu even if it is wasted. It is best not to fight a battle that is not well prepared, thereby losing the current good situation." situation!"

"..."

In the temporary chat group, the four agents each spoke on behalf of the people behind them, with different opinions, some radical and some prudent. Emperor Chongzhen watched quietly. After waiting for a long time, he felt that their opinions were almost explained, so he said: "Jianlu wants to rest in peace, but this is absolutely impossible. We are not ready. This is also an objective fact. But I feel that if we don’t fight big wars, we can still fight small wars!”

As soon as he spoke, no one in the group spoke. They all watched quietly and conveyed the holy will to their respective representatives.

"And the Jianlu people don't know our actual situation. Therefore, I think it can be like this." Emperor Chongzhen expressed his thoughts after listening to their opinions. "Haizhou sent troops to capture Anshan Posthouse. And made a posture to attack Liaoyang. In this way, Jianlu didn't know whether we really wanted to attack Liaoyang, and Liaoyang is the gateway to Shenyang, so it must be nervous and attract the attention of Jianlu. Then, I will use a surprise force …”

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the temporary chat group for a while, and it was obvious that several people were thinking about it.

Soon, Gao Yingyuan was the first to speak: "General Cao thinks that what your majesty said is a good strategy, and he is willing to be the vanguard to lay down the Anshan Posthouse!"

Li Dingguo followed and said: "Admiral Cao said that there are eleven Hongyi cannons in Haizhou, which have been transported to Anshan Posthouse. There will be no difficulty in taking them down!"

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng said that the Dongjiang Army is willing to be a surprise force, and the Hussars Battalion can attack at any time!" Wei Mulan and Li Dingguo spoke almost at the same time.

Liu Wang was the last one to speak: "Mr. Sun Ge thought that if the war was just about capturing Anshan Castle, there would be no problem."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly after hearing this. After considering everyone's opinions, he came to a conclusion that seemed to be good. So, he made a final decision: "The Anshan Post will be captured by Marshal Cao of Haizhou. The new army is almost resting and reorganizing. It will hand over to the Guan Ning Army and move to Anshan Post. On the Dongjiang Army's side, in addition to defending Jin Prefecture, in addition to ensuring the safety of Port Arthur, the rest of the troops do not need to go to Pidao and move to Fuzhou. We must first protect the safety of the coast and cultivate all the grain fields."

No one objected to this decision, but Wang Liu was not in the temporary chat group. Instead, she sent a private message to Emperor Chongzhen asking: "Old Sun Ge asked, your majesty is planning to use the imperial concubine's weapon as a special weapon." Isn’t it too early to use it now?”
