Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 490 The wings are hard
"Master, no matter what happens in North Korea, nothing can go wrong."

Hou Fangyu said in a deep voice: "Earlier next year, later than three years later, the Southern Ming Dynasty will definitely launch the Northern Expedition, and the Ming army that will go to the Northern Expedition may not be 50 to 100, but [-] or even [-] million! At that time, the Qing Dynasty must also mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized, and the Korean army is one of the indispensable troops."

"Well, it makes sense." Dorgon said deeply, "North Korea cannot cause chaos."

Hong Chengchou said: "Master, if this is the case, let Li Hao go back to North Korea."

Li Hao is the second son of the Joseon King Li Ji. According to the Confucian etiquette, neither Li Hao nor Li is qualified to inherit the Korean throne. The first successor to the Joseon throne should be the eldest son of the deceased Sohyun's son Li Zao. , that is, the eldest grandson of the current king of Joseon, Li Ji.

But Li Jing is more inclined to have an adult son succeed to the throne.

Among Li Ji's sons, only three have grown up. Except for the deceased Prince Zhao Xian, the second son Li Hao and the third son Li. Now that Li was captured by the Ming army, only the one who stayed in Beijing as a hostage remained Li Hao.

Hou Fangyu said again: "Before the master lets Li Hao go, it's best to give him some kindness."

"Give him some favor?" Dorgon frowned and asked, "You mean, marrying the Korean royal family?"

"Yes, marriage is the most effective way to win over." Hou Fangyu nodded. In fact, he still didn't say a word, and it cost the least. The Qing Dynasty easily obtained Horqin Mongolia's absolute loyalty by relying on repeated marriages.

Dorgon frowned and said: "But the emperor's younger sisters are still young, and there are no suitable women in other clans, and even if there are girls of the right age, they are not noble enough."

At this time, Fan Wencheng said: "Master, there is a suitable candidate."

"Who?" Dorgon asked in a deep voice, "You don't mean to say Dong'e, do you?"

Dong'e is the only daughter of Dorgon, and her biological mother is also from the Korean clan.

"No, no, this servant definitely doesn't mean that." Fan Wencheng said hastily, "The servant is talking about Lagu Su Ma. This girl has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child, just like the Queen Mother's own daughter. Why don't you simply let the Queen Mother take her as her daughter?" Adopted daughter, if she marries Li Hao again, it will not be regarded as humiliating the Korean clan."

Dorgon nodded happily.

"this is okay."

……

At the same time, in Nanjing Guozijian.

Chongzhen is wearing the imperial robes of the Ming Emperor under the attendants of Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian.

This mianfu was newly made at the end of last year, but Chongzhen only wore it once during the New Year's sacrifice, and never wore it again, because he hated wearing mianfu very much.

The point is that wearing the crown suit is really tiring.

Wearing mountain armor is not as tiring as wearing a crown suit.

But to attend the dinner of the General Chamber of Commerce tonight, and there will be envoys from various countries in the West, so Chongzhen must wear the crown robes that symbolize the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, and put on the emperor's guard of honor.

"It's too tight, it's too tight, let me loosen the belt."

Chongzhen raised his hands flatly and let Wang Chengen and Gao Qiqian put on the crown for him, and at the same time asked Zhu Cihong, "Xiao'er, why haven't I seen my grandson these days?"

"Father, do you want to have a baby?"

Zhu Cihong hurriedly said: "My son, go and bring him here."

"Hurry up and hug me." Chongzhen said with a smile, "Bring Xun'er to attend tonight."

"Your servant obeys the order." Zhu Cihong just left with his front foot, and Zhu Cijiong came in with his back foot.

"Jiong Er, you came just in time." Chongzhen hurriedly said, "Hurry up and pack up, and attend the dinner with me."

"Father, my son will not go." Zhu Cijiong was a little tired after hunting all day, so he didn't really want to attend the chamber of commerce dinner tonight. Anyway, hundreds of merchants gathered together to eat and drink, which was quite boring. If you really have this time, wouldn't it be good to read a few more military books?Or it is also possible to practice night dabbing.

Zhu Cijiong has recently become obsessed with Ye Daxiangtou, which is exciting.

By the way, Zhu Cijiong's marksmanship is improving at an alarming rate.

While talking, a young eunuch hurried in and knelt down to report: "Long live Lord, Liaodong urgent report."

"Liaodong? Submit it quickly." Chongzhen also said that something important happened in Liaodong, and motioned Gao Qiqian to take the pond newspaper from the young eunuch and hand it to him.

"Father, what happened in Liaodong?"

Zhu Cijiong drank half a can of Mingjiu in one go, then wiped his mouth and asked curiously.

"Could it be that Dorgon couldn't hold back and was about to use troops against Gaizhou Guard? If that's the case, this minister must lead troops to rescue Gaizhou Guard no matter what."

"You still want to lead the troops to rescue Gaizhou Wei? You are so beautiful."

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Dorgon has no guts to use troops against Gaizhou Guard."

"Dorgon didn't use soldiers against Gaizhou Guard?" Zhu Cijiong asked disappointedly, "So what's going on?"

"Xu Yingwei said that he had captured a son of the Joseon clan." Chongzhen said with a smile, "He also suggested that Ming could support this son of the Joseon clan to seize the throne."

"The Korean clan?" Zhu Cijiong said in disbelief, "What are you doing so hard?"

Gao Qiqian also said: "That is, the royal family of Joseon has been favored by our Ming Dynasty for generations, but when it comes to Li Yu's generation, they are ungrateful, forget their ancestors, recognize a thief as their father, and even profess their vassals to Jiannu. Such a treacherous country should not be lightly forgiven!"

"That's right." Zhu Cijiong nodded and said, "North Korea must be removed from the list of countries not to be conquered."

"You know what a fart." Chongzhen said unhappily, "North Korea should win or win, otherwise, allowing North Korea to fall into slavery and help the tyrants, even if it will not affect the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, it will definitely increase the difficulty of the Northern Expedition , and let me, Ming, pay a greater sacrifice, just this is worth fighting for North Korea."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen went on to say: "The dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be desecrated, but what I care more about is the lives of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. As long as I can save a few soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from dying, I can no longer pursue the past mistakes of the Joseon Dynasty." In a word, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty can sacrifice, but they will never make unnecessary sacrifices."

Hearing this, Zhu Cijiong and Gao Qiqian's expressions immediately became serious.

Zhu Cijiong said more solemnly: "My minister would like to be taught, it's my minister's lack of consideration."

Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Cijiong, who humbly admitted his mistake, and saw that this boy was already taller than him. It is conservatively estimated that he was at least about 1.8 meters tall, and he was already a strong boy.

At Zhu Cijiong's age, Huo Qubing had already led [-] hussars to kill all directions in the desert.

Immediately Chongzhen said: "Jiaoer, why don't you lead [-] new troops to North Korea to help the son of the clan captured by Xu Yingwei seize the throne of North Korea?"

"Father, are you serious?" Zhu Cijiong was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Father is serious." Chongzhen said, "But you have to obey Xu Yingwei's orders."

"No problem, it's no problem at all." Zhu Cijiong readily agreed. For him, as long as he had the opportunity to lead the troops out to perform missions alone, other problems would not be a problem. Being a small soldier would be all right.

I have to say that the age of 17 is the most adventurous age.

"That's fine, go back and get ready." Chongzhen said, "Leave tonight."

"I obey the order." Zhu Cijiong bowed, turned around and left excitedly.

Looking at Zhu Cijiong who left quickly, Chongzhen suddenly felt the melancholy feeling that the bird's wings had hardened and he was about to leave the nest at last. What caused this trouble, is this completely substituted into the original version of Chongzhen?

Did you inherit all the blood and family affection of the original Chongzhen?
……

It is not only Chongzhen who has the same emotion, but also Zhang Xianzhong.

"The children have grown up, and their wings are hardened." Zhang Xianzhong said with some disappointment but also some relief, "All of them are better at fighting than me, the emperor."

Zhang Xianzhong just received the pond newspaper ahead.

General Sun Kewang of Pingdong and General Li Dingguo of Anxi fought battles with the Ming army and the Dashun army in Xuzhou and Yinpingguan respectively. Sun Kewang won a small victory and led the coalition forces to drive the Ming army out of Syria. Yinpingguan fought a big victory, killed more than 8000 Dashun troops, and trapped the main force of the follow-up Dashun troops.

By the way, one more thing, under the strong pressure of the Ming army, Yuan Tao, Wu Dading and others have joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong's rebels.

"The Holy Majesty's words are too much." Wang Zhaoling said, "General Pingdong and General Anxi fought really well, but they are still far inferior to the Holy Majesty. Jiang is old and spicy."

"Prime Minister's words are too much." Zhang Xianzhong laughed.

Although he knew that Wang Zhaoling was flattering him, Zhang Xianzhong was still happy when he heard it.

As he grows older, Zhang Xianzhong is becoming more and more fond of listening to his subordinates' flattery.

I especially like to listen to compliments from scholars like Wang Zhaoling, which can make Zhang Xianzhong feel more fulfilled.

After a pause, Zhang Xianzhong said again: "The Ming army only suffered a small loss in Xuzhou, and the victory or defeat was hard to tell for a while, but the Puppet Shun army who was trapped in Yinping Pass by Dingguo's son might not be able to last for a few days. Pretending to be clever, he actually wanted to follow Deng Ai's example and sneak across the Yinping Pass, but now he bumped his head into the pocket of Dingguo's boy, but he was caught in a dilemma."

Wang Zhaoling then persuaded: "Your Majesty, General Anxi is still young after all, and he might suffer a loss. Why don't you lead an army of tens of thousands to go to the battle? Or the Majesty's personal conquest is fine, so that we can be safe."

According to Wang Zhaoling's intention, it is natural that he, the prime minister, should go.

But Zhang Xianzhong has not completely lost his mind, knowing that Wang Zhaoling cannot be counted on to lead the army to fight.

At that moment Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said: "That's unnecessary, it's just tens of thousands of rebel soldiers who are hypocritical and obedient, and they are already in the predicament of running out of food and aid, Dingguo boy, he can handle it."

But Wang Zhaoling still wanted to fight for it: "My lord, when Deng Ai destroyed Shu, he easily won Mianzhou and destroyed Shu with only three thousand weak troops. Although General Anxi has tens of thousands of troops, he still cannot be taken lightly."
