1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 482 Use a teacher to help?

"You Qi Kingdom, are you willing to help me fight against the slaves of the Ming Dynasty?"

When Chongzhen suddenly asked this question, not only Huang Zijia, the envoy of the Qi State, was astonished, but even the cabinet ministers in the palace, Prince Shaobao, Hubu Shangshu, and Wenyuange University scholar Jiang Dejing were also dumbfounded.

In my glorious Ming Dynasty, the supreme and infinite Emperor Chongzhen actually wanted to borrow troops from a small vassal state to suppress Liaodong's slaves?
"Your Majesty, this is not an appropriate move!" Jiang Dejing stood up and said solemnly to Chongzhen: "How can a foreign country easily lead troops into our Ming territory? The former, a vassal of Qi State, made two strikes to build slaves, although he made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty, However, it was in vain to send troops to Shandong, which violated the authority of the feudal vassal, so it should be regarded as trespassing. But thinking that killing the enemy will attack, so I will not be reprimanded. I hope that he will abide by the etiquette of the vassal vassal, and can no longer indulge in disorderly troops and our Daming territory."

Feng Yuanbiao, Minister of the Ministry of War sitting on the right, heard what Chongzhen said, but his heart moved, and his face seemed thoughtful.

Since Chen Xinjia, the last minister of the Ministry of War, was sentenced to be executed for "negotiating peace with private funds, mourning the country and humiliating the emperor", after Feng Yuanbiao took over, he faced the defeat of Songjin. Hebei, Gyeonggi and Shandong.At this time, he was under heavy pressure, but felt powerless.In the territory of Ming Dynasty, there were almost no soldiers that could fight. In addition to the constant threat of Jiannu, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hubei and other places were full of bandits, and they were so powerful that they could not be controlled.

If we can use external forces to curb the corruption in Liaodong, so that the imperial court can breathe a little easier and devote more energy to stamping out the thieves, perhaps our Ming Dynasty still has the strength to recover from the crisis.

Just now the envoy of the vassal Qi State also said that the mainland of Hanzhou is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, and the people in the country are all Han descendants of our Ming Dynasty, and they respect our Ming Dynasty as the Zhengshuo of the Celestial Dynasty.If its military strength is not weak, I, Da Ming, can rely on one or two of them.

Although borrowing the soldiers of the foreign country to defeat the bandits of the slaves, some of them lost the face of the Celestial Dynasty, but it is not impossible to follow the power in a hurry.

"Jiang Qing, Jiannu clowns are running amok, do you have a good plan to break it?" Chongzhen also felt a bit uneasy when he said rashly that Qi Guojun Wu would help Daming to attack Jiannu just now, but he still felt a little bit in his heart when he was refuted by Jiang Dejing so preemptively. dissatisfied.Since the Wanli period, the Jiannu rebelled, and the Ming Dynasty fought fiercely with it in Liaodong for decades, without making any progress. On the contrary, the Jiannu became more and more powerful, and it has become a situation that is difficult to control.

"... Internally repair the civil affairs, appease the local area, so the army is repaired, the army is organized, the army is accumulated, and the army is gradually planned." Jiang Dejing said casually.

"I plan to slow down the plan, but the establishment of slaves is not allowed. They broke through the pass several times, destroyed the city and killed the people, and ravaged the pass." Chongzhen said coldly: "And the thieves in Shanshan, Henan, Lianghu, and Sichuan and Shu are not peaceful. My Ming Dynasty can still survive. The redundant soldiers will fight Jiannu."

"I'm tired, all the ministers go!" With that said, Chongzhen stood up and walked away.

Think of me as a kingdom in heaven, facing Jiannu clowns, repeated battles and defeats, the situation in Liaodong is corrupt and out of control.Unexpectedly, Fanbang is a small country, and all of them are immigrants from our Ming Dynasty. There are only a few hundred people in the area.How embarrassing and resentful it is to compare the two!

All the people in the palace bowed and saluted. After Chongzhen left the main hall, they looked at each other and sighed. The state affairs are difficult, and His Majesty is anxious, but as a minister, he can't share his worries.All the ministers looked at each other silently for a moment, then handed over each other and left the hall.

"The envoy of the State of Qi will wait a moment." Huang Zijia was led by a young eunuch, and was about to leave the palace just as he was about to leave the palace, when suddenly someone beside him called him.

"My lord, did you call me for something?" Huang Zijia saw a minister of the Ming court who was around fifty, and he had seen it in the palace just now, but he didn't know who it was.

"May your envoy take a step to speak?" Feng Yuanbiao, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked slowly in front of Huang Zijia, and the little eunuch next to him took a few steps back knowingly, leaving room for the two to talk.

"My official is Feng Yuanbiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Please consult your envoy if you have anything to do."

"Master Feng!" Huang Zijia hurriedly bowed to salute.

"In the main hall just now, Your Majesty asked, Qi Guo would like to help me fight against the slaves of the Ming Dynasty. Does your envoy have anything to say about this?" Feng Yuanbiao asked softly.

It stands to reason that important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to collude with foreign envoys in private, so as to avoid the taboo of having private relations with foreign countries, and such words and deeds would also be impeached by the official censor.However, Feng Yuanbiao was reminded by Chongzhen that Daming might use foreign troops to destroy the slaves, so he ignored it.

As for whether it will lead to the catastrophe of Jinmeng's destruction of the country in the old Song Dynasty, he is not worried about it. Because the mainland of Hanzhou, where the Qi State occupies, is thousands of miles away from China, and the population of the country is only [-], it is not as good as Jianzhou. Manpower controlled by slaves.

"Master Feng, if there is an order in heaven, our country of Qi is willing to attack Liaodong to build slaves." Huang Zijia cupped his hands; "but our Qi army has a small number of troops, so it is difficult to confront the enemy head-on. Nu Liao east coast, wait for the opportunity to land and harass the border area of ​​Jiannu town."

As the envoy sent by the State of Qi to Daming, Huang Zijia knew a little about Qitian's thoughts, even military and civilian officials, almost all of them sympathized with Daming, and also deeply disgusted and hated Jiannu's cruelty .If the time of Ming's downfall can be slowed down a little bit, so that the Hanzhou Continent can continue to immigrate to the maximum extent, this is also the most acceptable result for Qi.

As for saving Daming, don't be ridiculous, Qi's current strength is simply not enough to turn things around.

"How many horses are you in Qi State?" Feng Yuanbiao asked.

"There are more than 120 officers and soldiers in the navy and marines of our Qi State, of which there are more than [-] officers and soldiers who can fight on land, and there are only about [-] near Daming, that is, on Changshan Island." Huang Zijia replied. .

"But according to the victory report submitted by Shandong, you and Jiannu won two battles, and you led more than 120 troops. Why do you claim that there are only [-] troops on Changshan Island?" Feng Yuanbiao asked.

"I want Master Feng to know that the army of Qi State is divided into Marine Corps and Township Soldiers. Among them, the Marine Corps is the official land combat force of Qi State. It is well-trained and well-equipped, but the number is small. The Township Soldiers are the folks of Qi State. The armed forces temporarily formed by ordinary people will be transferred to one place in turn for ten days and one to two days. If the battle is urgent, the township soldiers will also cooperate with the marines to go out to fight. Our armed forces stationed in Changshan Island must be at the time of attacking Jiannu. One or two hundred township soldiers were dispatched to accompany them. Therefore, in the victory report document submitted by the Shandong province of Ming Dynasty, there will be 300 soldiers dispatched by our Qi army.”

"You Qi country soldiers are also worthy of a big battle?"

"The local soldiers of Hanzhou will train for more than half a month every year, and they will take turns to garrison the places. The training time and concentrated service period of the soldiers in several overseas territories will be slightly increased. They will cooperate with the Marine Corps to participate in some less intense battles. , the township soldiers are still worthy of a battle." Huang Zijia said.

"Then if you, Qi State, want to help me attack Liaodong and build slaves, how many troops can you send at most?" Feng Yuanbiao couldn't help but hear that the Qi State's economic (regular) army was only more than 100, and the marine army was only over [-]. Somewhat disappointed.

"If we want to attack Jiannu this year, we should dispatch less than [-] troops. Even if we add the temporary recruitment of local soldiers, it will be difficult to exceed [-]."

Huang Zijia made some calculations in his mind and gave a figure of troops that could be used to attack Jiannu.If there is nothing wrong with Annan and Ryukyu, the three companies of the Marine Corps stationed at the two locations can be transferred to join forces with the Changshan Island Marine Corps, and a force of nearly 500 people can also be assembled.If some of the township soldiers are transferred, at most nearly a thousand armed forces can be concentrated.

"An army of about a thousand people, dare to attack Liaodong?"

"If we attack the coastal counties and towns of Jiannu in Liaodong, our Qi State navy will move freely. If we take advantage of Jiannu's unpreparedness and carry a few light artillery pieces, we will be able to break through the Jiannu city." Huang Zijia said: "But if we want to go deep The inland is too deep, and our army of Qi may not be exhausted."

"So, that's fine." Feng Yuanbiao nodded. If Qi's army could frequently take advantage of the boat masters to attack the Jiannu's rear, it would certainly be able to restrain the Jiannu army so that they would not dare to break through the gate unscrupulously.Just like more than ten years ago, Mao Wenlong restrained Jiannu in Pidao for several years, so that he did not dare to let go to attack the cities in western Liaoning.

"If my Ming Dynasty invites you to attack Liaodong with the army of Qi State, so as to attack the way of building slaves. What do you Qi State want from my Daming?" Feng Yuanbiao asked, staring into Huang Zijia's eyes.

"Allow Qi State to set up a representative office in the capital of Daming to facilitate the communication between the two countries; officials from prefectures and counties along the coast of Daming to assist our Qi State to immigrate ships, collect refugees and hungry people and bankrupt urban and rural people; ask the Ming court to grant ancient and modern books, as well as Daming All kinds of books in the territory and my country of Qi; please open a mutual market between Ming and our country of Qi, and communicate with each other's economy. Others, I have nothing to ask for at the moment." Huang Zijia listed the purpose of the envoys of the Qi country to come here for the pilgrimage, one by one and Feng Yuan Biao.

After Feng Yuanbiao heard this, he couldn't help looking at Huang Zijia in surprise.This envoy of this state, this state of Qi, has such a simple request.Not to mention that they received a large number of my Ming refugees, which indirectly removed the risk of starvation riots, and left countless people alive.It is not difficult to set up representatives, grant regulations and documents, and open mutual markets. After the six cabinet ministries discuss together, they can agree.

But the problem is, I, Daming, are inviting you to send troops to Liaodong to attack Jiannu!

Daming has never encountered such a sincere (stupid) vassal for many years.Even the Korean country, which called itself Little China, was conquered by the Jiannu, paid tribute to him, and even sent troops to fight with our Liaodong army.

"If you, Qi State, can recruit more soldiers and horses to go to Liaodong, that would be the best." Feng Yuanbiao said: "Qi State can help me defeat Jiannu and recover Liaodong. I will officially bestow upon you Qi State, Shizhen Hanzhou Continent."

"We don't need the canonization of the Great Ming Dynasty in Qi." Huang Zijia shook his head and said, "Since we took over Hanzhou, we have been fighting with swords and guns. We have broken the earth, fought against the barbarians, and built it bit by bit. State of Qi. I was ordered by the king to come to see the Emperor of Ming for the purpose of connecting the people of Hanzhou with the feelings of the Chinese nation and building the friendship of the Han people together."

Feng Yuanbiao stopped speaking immediately after hearing the words.What the envoy of the state said, they rely on their own strength to independently establish the country and call it a system, and they don't care about the canonization of the Ming Dynasty at all, as if they want to treat each other as equals with the Ming Dynasty!But my Ming court has begun to call Qi a vassal state, and even thinks that you are going to pay homage to the Ming emperor in order to obtain canonization and edicts.

Could it be that you only care about immigrating from me, Daming?

"My country of Qi respects Ming as the kingdom of heaven, but it is not the suzerain of our country." Huang Zijia said seriously: "Since our country of Qi was established, we have not been a vassal of any big country. However, we are willing to do our part to help Daming from the same source. "
