Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Liaodong seems to be occupied by Jianlu, but in fact, there are too many undercurrents hidden under the calm conditions. The mere fact that ethnic groups are antagonizing, using less to control more, and oppressing Liao people is a big gunpowder keg.

From the fall of Liaoshen in the first year of Tianqi, large areas of Liaozuo, Liaonan, and Liaoxi were gradually captured by Jianlu, which fueled Jianlu's arrogance.

A large number of Liao people who were unwilling to accept Jianlu's rule began to belong to their resistance, but the results experienced were without exception, all of which were suppressed by Jianlu's iron blood.

These brutal massacres laid the foundation for Jianlu to defend more with less in Liaodong. The living Liao people were terrified and forced to endure the exploitation and oppression of Jianlu.

A regional rebel regime with a core group of only a million people, if it can disrupt their internal order, affect their aggressive momentum, and want to surrender without a fight, it is not difficult.

"So there are still many problems facing the imperial court?" Liu Xingzuo sat on the main seat, looked at Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui and said: "If this is the case, then we on the Dongjiang Army must do our best. , help the imperial court share the worries, and help His Majesty share the worries."

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, his heart that was hanging in the air fell down.

It seems that what he said was not what he wanted to say, but was ordered by the emperor to tell Liu Xingzuo, so that Liu Xingzuo could understand what the core position of the Dongjiang Army in Pidao was. The presence.

"What Liu Shuai said is absolutely true."

Zuo Liangyu restrained his mind and said seriously: "At the beginning of the last general's appointment in Dongjiang Town, His Majesty once said that if it is possible, a team can be sent across the sea to North Korea."

"North Korea?"

Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly, looked at Zuo Liangyu and said, "Under such circumstances, my Dongjiang army rushed to North Korea, is it to occupy some important places?"

"Do not."

Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty's intention is to allow our Dongjiang army to use the name of Ming Dynasty to win over North Korea, a vassal state that was frightened by Jianlu.

If possible, in the future, Tianjin, Denglai and other places will have certain sea trade capabilities, and they can conduct sea trade with North Korea to meet some of North Korea's needs.

In addition, the food needed by our Dongjiang army, including iron materials, can be replenished to North Korea nearby, but firearms and artillery need to be provided by the court.

At present, on the side of Xishan, His Majesty's Armament Institute has developed several powerful and long-range artillery, which will be distributed to our Dongjiang Army in the future. "

In the third year of Chongzhen, although there were connections with Jianlu, it was far from the point where Huang Taiji personally conquered North Korea in the ninth year of Chongzhen and severed contact with Ming Dynasty.

It was also after the Jianlu completely conquered North Korea, on the flanks of their actual control, there was no need to worry about the future, and they even relied on exploiting North Korea to continuously strengthen their own national strength.

"This matter, I'm afraid it's not easy to do."

Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly, and said: "At the beginning when Jianlu conquered North Korea, the bravery he showed made the whole North Korean frightened.

Although North Korea still rejected Jianlu's request on some matters, but in the current North Korean territory, I am afraid that we dare not have too much contact with our Ming Dynasty.

after all……"

"Liu Shuai, you misinterpreted the meaning of the last general."

Zuo Liangyu stretched out his hand and said: "On the matter of North Korea, His Majesty means to gradually figure it out, allowing Dongjiang Town to use all available advantages to gradually restore ties with North Korea.

There is no need for North Korea to really listen to Ming's words and tell them to send troops to provoke Jianlu. After all, most of the soldiers in North Korea are not as good as Daming's guards.

What Your Majesty wants is to reach out to our Dongjiang army through some exchanges of interests. In the future, we can use North Korea to harass Zhenjiang, Kuandian castles and other places.

At the same time, the exchange of interests can also help Ming Dynasty build sea-going ships. Many of the timber in North Korea are suitable for building sea-going ships.

His Majesty also said.

The matter of weakening Jianlu is a long-term process, so Dongjiang Town must know how to share some pressure, and make full use of regional conflicts to develop corresponding plans around how to weaken Jianlu. , rather than simply harassing Jianlu. "

Liu Xingzuo: "..."

Liu Xingzuo's heart was very complicated about these words passed by Zuo Liangyu. First, he cooperated with the Tianjin sea fleet to escort a team selected by the emperor to land safely in southern Liaoning. Then Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui, He led his troops to Dongjiang Town, and now he had to get in touch with North Korea, who was frightened by Jianlu.

After all these piles were connected together, Liu Xingzuo felt that the emperor, whom he had never met before, seemed to be planning a big game against Jianlu.

"If the Son of Heaven makes it so clear, then I will definitely do my best." Liu Xingzuo said seriously: "If we can really win North Korea over, it may play a decisive role in the subsequent counter-insurgency and construction of captives."

"The last general thinks so too."

Zuo Liangyu said with a smile: "But how to do it specifically, our Dongjiang Army only needs to send elites. For the first time to go to North Korea, after Jin Xuan, the Counselor of the Military Aircraft Department, rushed to Dongjiang from Tianjin, he planned to build Dongjiang Pingyao Counselor Jin will handle the front and back.

From now on, Liu Shuai and Counselor Jin will need to discuss the North Korea matter in detail. After all, there is still a lot to do behind the scenes if this matter is to be achieved. "

Liu Xingzuo nodded and didn't say anything else.

He is good at marching and fighting.

He was afraid to play tricks with others.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun, a civil official, is in charge of North Korea. Otherwise, Liu Xingzuo is also a little confused about how to do this well.

"By the way, Liu Shuai, the last general has one more matter."

Shen Shikui said at this time: "Before going to Dongjiang, His Majesty had a decree that the military lecture hall on the Dongjiang side must be built as soon as possible.

At the beginning, the situation in Liaodong was complicated, and the Dongjiang Army had heavy responsibilities, so it was normal for there to be delays in this matter.

At the end of this time, the general will lead his troops to Dongjiang, and His Majesty will dispatch a group of teachers from the lecture hall in Xiyuan, as well as corresponding military books. "

"Everything must be obeyed!"

Liu Xingzuo said with a serious expression when he heard the words.

During the communication with Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui, Liu Xingzuo could clearly feel that the emperor far away in the capital had absolute trust in him.

This kind of trust alone makes Liu Xingzuo very excited, which has never happened before.

Although it is said that the orders of the generals abroad are not accepted, but how many people who really dare to do this can escape the mouths of civil officials?

But after taking charge of the Dongjiang Army, Liu Xingzuo could feel the changes in Dongjiang Town.
