The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 714 The Governance of the Northland Begins with Fishing and Corruption (9k Chapter)

But, although Zhu Hongyu himself can't do this, he didn't say that other people can't do it either!

During Song Lizong's reign, Mongolia invaded Sichuan and Shu, Mongolian Khan Meng Ge died outside Diaoyu City, and then he really died in Diaoyu City.

Then, after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, Yang Lian Zhenjia, a monk of Tantric Buddhism, began to dig Song Lizong's grave.

Even Song Lizong's skull was made into a wine glass!
If there was no Kublai Khan's instruction on this matter, no fool would believe it.

Although it is said that the Southern Song Dynasty perished, Song Lizong's mausoleum is still the imperial mausoleum, and all dynasties and dynasties have the same attitude towards the maintenance of imperial power.

The imperial tomb of the former dynasty is also the imperial tomb. You, a monk, dare to offend the imperial tomb?

Want to play a game of Match [-]?

Without Kublai Khan's instruction, it would be impossible for a monk Yang Lian Zhenjia to dare to attack Song Lizong's imperial tomb.

This incident was clearly directed by Kublai Khan behind the scenes.

But the records in the history books are that Yang Lian Zhenjia dug the grave and used Song Lizong's skull as a wine cup. There is no such thing as Kublai Khan.

See it, this is history!
Just a little girl who is allowed to be dressed up and fiddled with by those in power!

Why, could it be that Kublai Khan can do this, but I, Zhu Hongyu, can't?
Therefore, it is not impossible to do some things, but to find someone who will take the blame before doing it.

Even if Zhu Hongyu wanted to attack Qing Dongling, he would find someone to take the blame before doing so.

It was impossible for him to take action against Qing Dongling at the risk of his own statement being damaged.

Zhu Hongyu has always been a very cautious person.

Thinking about these messy things, the sacrifice to Siling began.

Zhu Hongyu offered sacrifices to Siling, apart from the 23 remnants of the Eight Banners, there were also Oboi and the false third prince Zhu.

Before attacking the fake Third Prince Zhu, Zhu Hongyu pretended to ask Chongzhen for his opinion.

If Chongzhen agrees to kill relatives righteously, let the incense offered to him become one long and two short.

If you disagree, let Xiang become two long and one short.

Then, without any accident, the burning of incense became one long and two short.

Under the despairing eyes of the false Third Prince Zhu, Zhu Hongyu ordered him to be beheaded.

Pfft!

A bright knife light flashed, and a human head was thrown away.

Blood sprayed!

Seeing the head of "Third Prince Zhu" fall to the ground, Zhu Hongyu let out a heavy breath.

"Third Prince Zhu" is finally dead!
He was executed in front of Chongzhen and with Chongzhen's consent. In the future, no one can use the third prince Zhu as a cover to add trouble to Zhu Hongyu.

From today onwards, the emperor's lineage of Chengzu's lineage has been cut off!
Starting today, the lineage of the King of Chu will become the ruler of Tianshu!
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath, turned around and gave instructions to Wang Ruxian behind him.

"Raise a sum of money and food for the expansion of Siling!"

"There is no need to move the underground building, so as not to disturb the rest of Emperor Sizong. The above-ground building must be expanded according to the specifications of the emperor's mausoleum."

To put it bluntly, it is to do a good job in face engineering.

Wang Ruxian clasped his fists to accept his orders.

"Here, Weichen understands, so I will start to arrange it later!"

Zhu Hongyu turned his head away, took one last look at Siling, and said.

"Get ready to go back to Beijing!"

"Here!"

All the people behind responded in unison.

Zhu Hongyu left Tianshou Mountain with his people.

However, although he ordered to return to the capital, the team did not leave immediately.

Because, after paying homage to the Siling Mausoleum, the sky is already dark, and it is nearly a hundred miles from Tianshou Mountain to the capital, so it is impossible to go back today.

No matter what, we have to start tomorrow!

Starting tomorrow, the return to Beijing must be the day after tomorrow.

……

After Zhu Hongyu returned to Beijing, he did not immediately prepare for the return of the class teacher to the court and return to Nanjing.

Instead, the generals of the Ming army were convened to discuss the next strategy.

He still has to stay in the capital for a while before he can prepare to leave for Nanjing!

"Your Majesty, the next step for our army is to go east and capture the Shanhai Pass, and take control of this strategic passage that enters and exits the pass."

"As long as Shanhaiguan is in hand, I will be able to have absolute strategic initiative after the Ming Dynasty confronts the Manchus."

"Whether to fight, when to fight, I, Da Ming, will have the final say!"

It was Xu Bin who stood up to speak, and the plan he described was a combat plan jointly put forward by the staff.

After hearing the words, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly in agreement.

Back then, if Li Zicheng could have captured Shanhaiguan before the Manchu Qing entered the arena, and then came out to defend it with the city, he would not have overturned on a rock.

The same was true for the Ming Dynasty back then. If Shanhaiguan, the fortress of the pass city, hadn't blocked the Liaoxi Corridor, the Manchu Qing might have driven straight into the pass.

It's not that the previous few entries were just massacres and looting, rather than directly occupying the Central Plains.

It can be seen the importance of Shanhaiguan!
Now that the Ming Dynasty is restored, Shanhaiguan must be obtained.

Otherwise, the strategic initiative will be grasped by the Manchus.

In order to ensure the safety of Beizhili, Daming could only deploy heavy troops in Beizhili, otherwise, the Manchu Qing might take cold shots.

But if Shanhaiguan is in Daming's hands, Daming will have the initiative in the war in Liaodong!
Whether to fight, how to fight, and when to fight!

Daming will have the final say!
Zhu Hongyu also nodded slightly and said.

"Let's prepare for the war against Shanhaiguan!"

"In terms of logistics, are there any shortages of various shells and gunpowder?"

"Do you need to order another batch to be urgently dispatched from Nanjing?"

For a strong city like Shanhaiguan, although it is relatively easy to fight from the inside of the pass to the outside of the pass, the ease is very limited.

Facing such a fortified city, apart from preparing enough shells and gunpowder and relying on absolute firepower to attack, Zhu Hongyu has no good solution.

The person in charge of logistics issues is Jiang Zhengyi, the deputy director of the logistics department of the Ming army.

After hearing Zhu Hongyu's question, Jiang Zhengyi stood up and answered.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, from the current point of view, our army now has sufficient gunpowder and shells."

"It is enough to support our army to finish the battle of Shanhaiguan!"

"However, for the upcoming Shanxi campaign, or the Northern Expedition to Liaodong, please write to Nanjing and order Nanjing to transfer another batch of gunpowder and shells to our army."

"in case for need!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then signaled to Wang Ruxian to prepare relevant orders.

Then, he looked at Xu Bin again and asked.

"For the attack on Shanhaiguan, what is the plan made by the staff?"

Xu Bin stood up from his seat, and then spoke to Zhu Hongyu.

"Your Majesty, for the battle of Shanhaiguan, the General Staff's plan is not to storm Shanhaiguan, but to adopt a siege plan."

"By pretending to attack the front of Shanhaiguan, we will attract the Qing army in the West Liaoguan Corridor to gather at Shanhaiguan. Then our army will send troops from Tianjin, and the fleet will cross the sea to attack Jinzhou, and attack the Liaoxi Corridor from Jinzhou to encircle the Qing army in Shanhaiguan."

"Solve battles by siege!"

Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan, you can tell from the name alone, Shanhaiguan is close to the sea.

And as long as it is close to the sea, then Daming's naval guns will have something to say.

I heard that little brother, you claim to be the best level in the world, you are very inflated!

Use your own naval superiority to cut off the back of the Qing army and complete the siege of Shanhaiguan.

This is the battle plan that the staff came up with!

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, then spoke.

"Since we are going to cross the sea to attack the Manchus, why are we attacking Jinzhou instead of directly attacking Shenyang?"

"How about forcing the Qing army on the Shanhaiguan defense line to return to aid by attacking Shenyang?"

The mind of the staff department has opened up, and Zhu Hongyu's mind will only open up even more!

He came from a later age, and he was used to seeing the great powers cross the sea to attack the capital of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties when they had nothing to do.

Then, he also developed such a habit!

When it comes to fighting the Manchus, there must be nothing wrong with crossing the sea to attack the capital of the Manchus.

Anyway, for the Manchu Qing, the capital city and Shengjing are both capitals, which one is not an attack?

Zhu Hongyu couldn't believe it, Shengjing was bombarded by Ming Dynasty, and the Qing army defenders in Shanhaiguan could still sit still!
If they can sit still, then they will really fight and really recover Shenyang.

Then go back and fight Shanhaiguan!
If they can't sit still, as soon as the Qing army defenders in Shanhaiguan withdraw from Shanhaiguan, they will return to Shengjing.

So, isn't Shanhaiguan within easy reach for Daming?
Besides, as long as the Qing army guarding the city leaves Shanhaiguan, they will be fat on Daming's lips!

Whether to eat or not, how to eat, Daming has the final say!
Daming crossing the sea to attack Shenyang, isn't that just a realistic version of the siege to fight for aid? !

After Xu Bin heard this, he pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Report to His Majesty, it may be possible!"

"But the staff department needs some time to make relevant plans!"

In other words, facing the new battle plan proposed by Zhu Hongyu.

The staff needs time to make calculations and calculate the relative gains and losses before they can come up with a practical idea.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Okay, the staff will come up with a relevant plan as soon as possible!"

Xu Bin bid farewell, and Zhu Hongyu looked at the other people in the hall, and gave instructions.

"In addition to the use of troops in the direction of Shanhaiguan, what is currently in front of my Ming Dynasty is the relief and governance of the Northland, the restoration of people's livelihood in the Northland, and the war in Shanxi."

In fact, among these three things, the most important thing is Daming's relief and management of the Northland, as well as the restoration of people's livelihood in the Northland.

As for the battle in Shanxi, there is actually no need to worry too much, because a large number of local state capitals in Shanxi, as well as the generals of the green battalion with heavy troops in their hands, sent a surrender list to Daming.

As long as the Ming army sends a partial division into Jin, Shanxi can be recovered!
No need to worry too much!

But it is not so easy to govern the Northland and restore the people's livelihood in the Northland.

One is because the population of the Northland suffered heavy losses in the chaotic times of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large amount of land was abandoned, and many prosperous cities directly became empty cities.

The second reason is that most of the local officials had surrendered from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Many people used to be officials of the Ming Dynasty, and then surrendered to Dashun, the Qing Dynasty, and then became officials of the Ming Dynasty again.

At least they are two ministers and three ministers, and there are even many four ministers and five ministers!

It is not an exaggeration to say that every person is a traitor and a traitor!
Zhu Hongyu was worried about handing over the place to them.

But, don't worry, these officials still have to use it.

Otherwise, Daming is probably still shrunk to Guangdong and Guangxi!
Because ninety-nine percent of the officials under Zhu Hongyu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

If all these people were beaten to death with a single stick, then the government of Ming Dynasty would come to a halt!
What Zhu Hongyu can do now is to use the excuse of anti-corruption to cleanse the last batch of local officials, and then add sand to the localities.

Only in this way can he ensure that he has sufficient control over the place!

Sure enough, anti-corruption has been the best excuse for party struggle since ancient times.

Because few of those officials are clean, and they can do it at any time if they want to kill them.

And more importantly, anti-corruption is absolutely politically correct in all dynasties and dynasties except my Qing Dynasty, which invented the atonement silver.

If the emperor wants to fight corruption, none of the subordinates can oppose it!
Otherwise, you have a guilty conscience, and you have ghosts in your heart!
Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and gave orders.

"About the governance of the Northland and the restoration of people's livelihood!"

"First of all, it is necessary to quickly restore the local social order, send troops to clean up the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, bandits and local bandits, clean up the local black and evil forces, social vitality organizations, green-skinned gangsters on the streets, etc., to ensure that Local order restored security and stability."

"Only when the local social order is restored, can the New Deal of Ming Dynasty be carried out quickly in the Northland."

"Policies such as clearing the land, population census, tax reduction and exemption, rent reduction and interest reduction must all be rolled out, and no accidents are allowed."

"Anyone who prevents the implementation of the Ming Dynasty's New Deal, no matter who he is or what his status is, will be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty and must be resolutely eliminated!"

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, everyone in the hall responded in unison.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then went on to talk about other things.

"The second is to write the Nanjing imperial court, ordering Nanjing to immediately dispatch a batch of money and food from Jiangnan to Beidi, so as to do a good job in the post-war resettlement of the people in Beidi."

In fact, the northern part of North Zhili has suffered a certain degree of military disaster, and most of the areas have not been affected by the war at all because they surrendered in a timely manner.

There is absolutely no need for Zhu Hongyu to mobilize money and grain from Jiangnan to provide relief to the localities.

As long as Zhu Hongyu can restore the stability of the local social order, given that there are fewer people and more land, and there are no social conflicts at all, it won't take many years before it will be a prosperous Ming Dynasty again.

However, here comes the problem, if Zhu Hongyu doesn't mobilize money and food from the south to help the people in the north, what are those corrupt officials greedy for?
Those corrupt officials are not greedy for the money and food of the court, how can Zhu Hongyu kill people to establish his prestige and clean up the place?

Before these people surrendered, since they agreed to let the past go, Zhu Hongyu, as the emperor, must not turn his back on the past!

Therefore, if you want to kill Hongyu, you can only bait yourself, and then wait for the fish to bite.

This batch of money and food urgently dispatched from the south of the Yangtze River is the bait he prepared for the fish.

As for whether someone will bite the hook?

In fact, there is no doubt about this!
The fisherman is never in the air force!
Besides, can dogs be changed to eat shit?
As long as Zhu Hongyu's supervision on the use of this money and food is a little looser, there will definitely be people below who are greedy for profit and can't help but do something with this money and food.

As long as someone took action against the money and food, wouldn't Zhu Hongyu have a reason to kill people and clean up the place?

Simply perfect!
After Zhu Hongyu's words fell, the rest of the people in the hall bowed again.

"I understand!"

Zhu Hongyu turned his head, and then talked about Shanxi.

"What's the situation in Shanxi?"

Although there would probably be no disturbances in Shanxi, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but worry about it.

Zhou Tianxu stood up and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General He Xu of Shanxi's Datong Mansion, General Liang Xi'an of Taiyuan Mansion and other generals have all sent letters of loyalty to my Daming."

"Furthermore, most of the local state capitals have also sent Daming a lowering list!"

"The only two exceptions are Jiexiu County and Zhangjiakou Town outside the Great Wall."

"Jiexiu was the hometown of the Fan family among the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhangjiakou was a town jointly operated by the eight great merchants of Shanxi."

"The Eight Great Imperial Merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have strong control over these two places!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Send the Second Infantry Division and the Third Brigade under the First Cavalry Division to Shanxi together!"

"One is to prepare to cooperate with the Green Battalion, start to take over the defense of Shanxi, and receive and rectify the surrendered troops!"

"The second is to start arresting all the members of the Eight Great Families of Shanxi Merchants, and none of them can be let go!"

"I will execute them all Ling Chi!"

"What's more, we must do a good job of ransacking the homes of the eight Shanxi merchants!"

"There can be no mistakes!"

"..."

……

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, Daming began to divide the troops.

A group of soldiers and horses marched eastward, preparing to launch a feint attack on Shanhaiguan from the front, in order to play a diversionary role.

A group of soldiers was preparing to go to Tianjin, take the sea route, and launch a feigned attack on the Manchu Qing Shengjing City, but in fact they were preparing to encircle and send reinforcements, and the target was the Manchu Qing Shanhaiguan defenders.

Another army is heading for Shanxi!

We are going to cooperate with the Qing army who surrendered to the Ming army in Shanxi to solve the Shanxi problem.

On the other hand, Zhu Hongyu didn't engage in any personal conquests, but took charge of the capital, coordinating the governance of the entire north by Ming Dynasty.

And get ready to bait and fish!
……

At the beginning of July of the first year of Ming Guang's restoration!
After traveling thousands of miles, Liu Xuanchu finally arrived at the city of Nanjing belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Xuanchu originally planned to go directly to the capital to meet the Emperor of Heaven, but if it is a peace negotiation between the two countries, it is more appropriate to go through the formal channel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Of course, the main reason is that if he goes to Nanjing, it will take time for the news to pass between the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, so that it can delay the Qing Dynasty for a longer time.

And what the Qing Dynasty needs most now is time!

Therefore, Liu Xuanchu rushed to Nanjing City!
The city of Nanjing at this time was exactly when the good news of the Northern Expedition came back one after another, and the hearts of the people were boiling.

Countless people took to the streets spontaneously, cheering for Daming's victory!
The Great Ming Northern Expedition bonds, which were originally bought very well, became more and more popular after the good news of the Northern Expedition continued to spread back to Nanjing.

Countless people are scrambling to buy Daming's Northern Expedition bonds!

Especially those big gentry families in the north, who are newly attached to Ming Dynasty, are at a time when they are worried.

At this time, after they saw the bonds issued by the Ming Dynasty, these people did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy themselves a peace of mind.

Especially those Shanxi and Huizhou merchants, when buying bonds, they don't take money as money!
The people they sent out carried the silver and blocked the Daming Royal Bank.

If the Northern Expedition bonds are gone, then buy land bonds; if the land bonds are gone, then buy infrastructure bonds...

It is really impossible to buy first-hand bonds, and they will increase the price to buy second-hand bonds.

Just to highlight one principle, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the key is to have a proper attitude.

When Liu Xuanchu first entered Nanjing City, what he saw was such a lively scene.

Everything shows how huge the social resources, manpower and material resources that Daming can mobilize.

Looking at the bustling and bustling city of Nanjing in front of you, compare it with Chang'an, which has just recovered a little bit of vitality after the war.

The gap in national power between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly obvious!

Liu Xuanchu casually stopped an old man passing by, and asked.

"May I ask the old man, how to get to Uncle Zhou's mansion, commander of Jinyiwei?"

The old man was wearing a brocade suit, holding a birdcage in his hand, and a canary in the cage was chirping with a crisp sound.

There were a few guards behind him, and it looked like a wealthy family.

Hearing Liu Xuanchu's question, looking at Liu Xuanchu's elegant clothes and his bookish anger, the old man bowed his hands very politely and said.

"Little brother, you are welcome. Go straight along this street and turn left into the third alley..."

Halfway through, the old man patted his head and said.

"It's not clear how to say it, you come with me, I will show you a way!"

After all, the old man turned around and walked in the direction he pointed.

Liu Xuanchu followed closely behind!
As one of Wu Sangui's most important advisers, Liu Xuanchu's personal emotional intelligence is beyond doubt.

It also has a bit of the attributes of a social cow!
With just a few words, he became acquainted with the old man.

I even learned that the old man's surname was Zhou, and he was from Nanjing, but he once settled in Nanyang.

The old man asked with a smile while walking.

"I don't know what you're doing at the mansion of the Commander of Jinyiwei, sir?"

Liu Xuanchu replied with a smile.

"The student has an old relationship with Uncle Zhou. This time I came to Nanjing to do business, so I wanted to pay a visit to Uncle Zhou."

"One is to relive the old relationship!"

"Second can also ask for a convenience!"

"Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. There are dragons and tigers hidden in the city. Students, who are newcomers, want to gain a foothold in Nanjing. Don't they have to visit the dock?"

"Uncle Zhou is in this huge capital, but he is also a first-class big shot!"

Liu Xuanchu's eyes on Nanjing City can be said to be black. It is not easy for him to complete the task Wu Sangui entrusted to him.

If he came to Nanjing and directly stated his intention to come, he would be too passive!

In order not to let himself be too passive, he was going to go to Zhou Tianxu to talk about the old days and make friends.

After all, he and Zhou Tianxu met each other in Kunming City back then.

When the old man heard this, the smile on his face became more obvious for some reason.

As if proud of something!
Not long after, the two walked outside the Zhou residence.

Looking at the magnificent mansion not far away, the old man said.

"There!"

"That is the mansion of Zhou Tianxu, the Commander of Jinyiwei!"

"Come with me!"

The old man strode towards the Zhou mansion, followed closely by the guards behind him.

Liu Xuanchu also followed, surprised by the old man's enthusiasm.

This is really enthusiastic, leading the way to the gate of Zhou Mansion.

By the way, is the commander of the Jinyiwei Capital of Ming Dynasty so useless?Who dares to stroll outside his mansion?

However, at this moment, Liu Xuanchu watched helplessly as the old man strode towards the gate of Zhou Mansion.

He watched helplessly as several servants on duty at the gate of the Zhou Mansion saluted the old man.

"I have seen the master!"

As he said that, a servant was about to open the main gate of Zhou Mansion.

The old man looked back at Liu Xuanchu, and said with a smile.

"This little brother, please come in, Zhou Tianxu, the Commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty, is the dog!"

Liu Xuanchu: "..."

This old man is so low-key!

Liu Xuanchu didn't refuse either, he just cupped his hands and said.

"This will trouble the old man!"

After finishing speaking, he followed the old man into the Zhou residence.

While teasing the sparrow in the cage, the old man said to Liu Xuanchu.

"The dog will not be able to return home until he is on duty later. Little brother can go to the living room and wait for a while. If you don't mind, you can also chat with me, a bad old man."

Liu Xuanchu said with a slight smile on his face.

"Then I will disturb the old man!"

……

When Zhou Tianxu was on duty and returned to his mansion in Nanjing from Jinyiwei's government office, he saw his father talking happily with a middle-aged man wearing a hat.

Zhou Tianxu took a closer look and found that this was still an acquaintance.

It was Liu Xuanchu, Wu Sangui's advisor who he had visited in Kunming.

Zhou Tianxu smiled, took off the cloak behind him, and handed the saber to the guard beside him.

Just wearing a flying fish suit bestowed by the emperor, he strode up to Liu Xuanchu and his father.

"Son Tianxu, send greetings to father!"

Zhou Tianxu bowed to his father.

Father Zhou just smiled and nodded, expressing that he was fine, then looked at Liu Xuanchu in front of him, and said.

"This Mr. Liu said that he is an old acquaintance with you. He came to the mansion today to pay a visit to you. Have you ever met?"

After talking for an afternoon, Liu Xuanchu has become a friend with Zhou's father by virtue of his super high EQ.

Moreover, Liu Xuanchu's erudition and knowledge also made Father Zhou, an illiterate old man, admire him, so he was willing to call him Mr. Liu.

Zhou Tianxu bowed his hands to Liu Xuanchu with a smile, and said.

"Mr. Liu, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Liu Xuanchu also got up from his seat, and bowed his hands in return.

"After so many years, Commander Zhou has made his demeanor even better than before!"

Zhou Tianxu just said with a smile.

"Thanks to His Majesty, I have lived a good life for a few years, and my complexion is certainly better than before."

Actually, after these years, Zhou Tianxu, the commander of Jinyiwei, is also very busy, and his life is not easy.

But for a man, as long as he can hold the power, no matter how tired or bitter he is, his complexion will not be bad.

"I just don't know what is the purpose of Mr. Liu's visit to Nanjing this time?"

"If you can help me, please speak up."

"Mr. Liu helped me back then, but now if Mr. Liu needs help in any way, I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

Zhou Tianxu was already trying to find out the purpose of Liu Xuanchu's visit.

Of course, what he said was not all lies!

If Liu Xuanchu needed his help for some trivial matters, of course he would not refuse.

But if Liu Xuanchu wanted Zhou Tianxu to do something taboo, Zhou Tianxu would definitely not do it!
Zhou Tianxu knew that his current power and status came entirely from the emperor's favor and trust. Without the emperor's favor and trust, Zhou Tianxu would be nothing.

Therefore, Zhou Tianxu will not do such taboo things!
Liu Xuanchu looked straight and said.

"Commander Zhou, I'm here on the orders of the Qing emperor, and I want to negotiate peace with Ming!"

"Also ask the commander to recommend you for me!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tianxu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Peace talk?"

Liu Xuanchu nodded and said.

"Yes, the Qing emperor is willing to surrender to Ming in exchange for peace."

Zhou Tianxu frowned, feeling a little interesting, but he still spoke.

"Mr. Liu should go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit his credentials first. I can help you urge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let them accept it as soon as possible."

"And submit the credentials to the cabinet for review as soon as possible!"

Although on the bright side, Zhou Tianxu was enthusiastically offering to help.

But in fact, Zhou Tianxu is expressing his attitude, I can help you urge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the cabinet.

But that's about it!
For other things, you'd better not open your mouth, lest you lose face!

Liu Xuanchu nodded with a smile.

"It's work!"

"In that case, I will bid farewell!"

Zhou Tianxu nodded and said.

"See you, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Xuanchu bid farewell and left, and Zhou's father, who had just talked happily with Liu Xuanchu, didn't intend to keep anyone.

After Liu Xuanchu left, Father Zhou spoke to his son.

"Tianxu, this Liu Xuanchu is the envoy of the Qing captives. If you invite him into the mansion for your father, will it affect you?"

Father Zhou cared most about his son.

After Zhou Tianxu heard the words, he shook his head and said.

"Father, don't worry, it won't affect your son at all!"

"In the future, my son will write a book by himself, and just explain the matter to His Majesty, and nothing will happen."

Zhou Tianxu is Zhu Hongyu's confidant, he knows the advantages and disadvantages of a confidant.

The advantage is that before he lost the emperor's favor, he was absolutely powerful.

And the disadvantages are equally obvious. Once he loses the favor of the emperor, he will definitely die without a place to bury him.

Because I am a confidant, I know too many things!

The secrets he knew would become his reminder after he lost the emperor's favor.

Therefore, when Zhou Tianxu faced Zhu Hongyu, he was absolutely sincere.

There will never be the slightest concealment!
Although, even if it was Zhou Tianxu's concealment once or twice, it was fine, but the distrust would be superimposed. Once he concealed too many things from Zhu Hongyu, it superimposed to Zhu Hongyu's trust threshold.

Then, he is not far from death!
Zhou Tianxu didn't believe that he didn't have the emperor's eyeliner around him, and now Daming didn't just have an intelligence agency like Jinyiwei.

The East Factory has also been rebuilt!

It's just that compared to Jinyiwei, Dongchang is more mysterious and doesn't show up much.

……

Outside Shanhaiguan, the cannons are rumbling!
Cannonballs poured firepower towards Shanhaiguan mercilessly.

Boom!Boom!
A round of solid shells kept hitting the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

The bricks on the city wall of Shanhaiguan fell rustlingly!

Masonry Splash!

The Qing army was so beaten that they couldn't lift their heads up!

However, in the face of the powerful shelling of the Ming army, the Qing army did not panic.

Because they are already used to it!

It has been nearly ten days since the Ming army arrived at the city of Shanhaiguan, and they bombarded twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Occasionally, I will add a meal to Shanhaiguan at night!
But that's all!
Although the Ming army's heavy artillery was pouring firepower at Shanhaiguan, it never really launched an attack.

On the first day and the second day, facing the shelling of the Ming army, the Qing army was very nervous from top to bottom, and went all out to guard against the surprise attack of the Ming army.

On the third and fourth days, the Qing army got used to the shelling of the Ming army.

Although they would still dodge when the Ming army opened fire, they were somewhat slack when it came to the Ming army's siege.

On the fifth and sixth days, the soldiers of the Qing army were able to eat and sleep safely in the caves under the shelling of the Ming army.

They didn't even care about the extra meal brought by the Ming army at night!

At most, I dig out my ears, adjust the cotton balls stuffed in my ears, and then go back to sleep.

Without him, only get used to you!
……

Yue Le stood in his tooth tent, listening to the terrifying roar of heavy artillery outside Shanhaiguan.

Yue Le couldn't help frowning.

"What is the meaning of this Ming thief?"

"It's just shelling, but I don't see it launching an attack. Are you planning to destroy Shanhaiguan by shelling?"

"Why is Ming thief so tired and lazy?"

Yue Le couldn't figure out how fierce the Ming army was when they attacked Tianjin and the capital.

Why is it that when it is the turn to attack Shanhaiguan, you just start shelling, and those who don't attack are lazy?

This shouldn't be!
He didn't think this was a sign of the Ming army's decline in combat effectiveness, because even the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty did not decline so quickly in combat effectiveness.

It's only been a few days, Ming thief dare not go all out?

How can it be? !
Yue Le paced back and forth in the tent, casting his eyes on the map hanging in the tent from time to time.

Suddenly, Yue Le saw Gubeikou on the map.

In an instant, Yue Le seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, and he felt a chill behind him.

That's right, back then the Qing Dynasty was able to bypass Shanhaiguan Pass, detour through the grassland since Gubeikou, Shahukou, Zijinguan and other places repeatedly broke through, entered Beizhi and wreaked havoc, and even threatened the Ming Dynasty's rebel capital.

Well, there is no need for Daming to smash Shanhaiguan now!
Can't we bypass the grassland and attack Liaodong?

The Ming army in the Chongzhen year did not have this combat power, but the current Ming army has it.

If at this time, an elite Ming army detours through the grasslands and rushes to Shengjing City...

Yue Le only felt his eyes go dark, and almost passed out.

The current Shengjing City is empty!
If the Ming thief went outside Shengjing, the consequences would be unimaginable!
