The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 642 bite the hook
"Hmph, all naval divisions in Quanluo Province are looking forward to General Zheng, and General Zheng has vowed to punish the rebels in Seoul!" Jin Zhengqing rolled his eyes at Li Xingli, and then bowed, "Your Majesty, Lord Ren Xing will order the navy to call from the heaven, and send it again People repaired the Phi Island Sky Barracks!

"I only hope that Your Majesty will decree to deprive the title of the rebellious King Li Yu! In the future, the whole country of North Korea will serve the Celestial Dynasty, and it will not be changed for ten thousand years!"

"me……"

After all, North Korea is small and weak, plus it has been invaded by Jianlu for years, Li Xingli really has nothing to offer, and he froze where he was, his face livid with anxiety.

Jin Lian hurriedly rescued the scene and said: "My king swears loyalty to the heavenly dynasty, and dare not change for hundreds of millions of years! I also hope that your majesty will not listen to rebellious slander, so as to support the orthodoxy of the Korean royal family."

Zhu Linmi "challenged" both sides for a while, and seeing that there was indeed nothing more to squeeze out, she took it as a sign of embarrassment, and said: "What you say seems to make sense, but North Korea is thousands of miles away, so it is inevitable to just listen to what you say. There will be biases and omissions. I will send envoys to the court to investigate the ins and outs of the matter carefully. Before the matter is clarified, both of you will take the line from Huangzhou to Xinxi as the boundary, and temporarily stop fighting, waiting for the order."

Li Xingli immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Right now his side is in a bad situation, so he can take this opportunity to recuperate.

But Jin Zhengqing was a little anxious, "But, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, I've made up my mind." Zhu Linmi waved her hands and walked towards the apse, before she gave Ma Wensheng a wink.

The eunuch nodded knowingly, turned around and said in a loud voice: "Lord Li, Lord Jin, the soldiers, horses and supplies that the two of you have promised the Holy Majesty just now should arrive quickly. This is a good opportunity to show your loyalty."

"This... yes, I dare not forget it!"

"Xiao Chen immediately passed the letter to North Korea."

As a latecomer, Zhu Linmei is well aware of the pissing nature of the country of North Korea and the Koreans of later generations-whoever is strong is the father, who is best at crying with your legs hugged, and when you are weak, you will immediately turn your face and deny anyone, and you can't wait to step on your feet every day.

Therefore, the best strategy for North Korea is to create a weak North Korea that will never be separated from Ming Dynasty.To do this, there is no more effective way than to let it fight infighting for a long time.

So this time he didn't help each other, and gave both sides some time to accumulate strength, so that they would all ask Daming to be an obedient vassal state.

Of course, there is another major premise for this strategy, that is, Japan is also weak, otherwise North Korea, which has no resistance, will definitely become a meal on the plate of Japan.

As for Japan, Zhu Linming has already made arrangements, but now that Japan has completed the centralization of power and has experienced decades of stable development, it is not so easy to implement his strategy of weakening the Japanese.

After leaving the Wenhua Palace, he looked towards the northeast and thought to himself, it seems that Dai Xiuyuan has been in Japan for two or three months, and he doesn't know how he is progressing.

The next day.

At dawn, Gu Yanwu went to the palace with a secret report to ask for an interview.

"My lord, goodbye..."

When he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, when he was about to salute, Zhu Linmi stopped him by raising his hand, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too polite, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Gu Yanwu handed over the secret report, and there was a lot of joy on his brows, "My Majesty, Huguang has sent back news that everything is going well."

Since the layout of Huguang is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, the incoming and outgoing news does not even pass through the Ministry of War, and is directly transmitted by Jin Yiwei.

Zhu Lin hurriedly opened the secret letter to check, but it was submitted by Mu Yun.The first half of the story is that Wuchang had transferred Zhang Xianbi's main force out of Wuchang City as planned, but He Tengjiao was more honest and cooperated with Wanji to control Wuchang.It's just that when Zhang Xianbi was lured into the city to be strangled, for some reason he saw a flaw, and more than ten thousand Chu troops fled to Xingguo with him.Fortunately, Qin Zuoming led the white pole army to encircle Zhang Xianbi in the area of ​​Liangzi Lake, and he will be wiped out soon.

The second half of the secret letter is the situation in Changsha.Because Li Dingguo acted too quickly, before Mu Yun sent Zhu Linmi's strategy, Li's troops rushed to Matang, and killed Liu Tiren's remnants, leaving less than 4000 people fled back to Changsha.However, after Hao Yaoqi and Wang Jincai's main force learned the news of the "Great Victory" of the Chu army in Wuchang, as Zhu Linming expected, the two teams immediately went north unprepared.Right now, the Zhongzhen Battalion has withdrawn their line of defense to let them pass through, and set up an ambush south of Wuchang. It is estimated that Hao Yaoqi and others will enter the ambush circle in another six or seven days.

"It seems that there is no serious problem with Huguang, and now we will see when Jianlu will take the bait." Zhu Linmi thought for a while, and told Gu Yanwu, "The first thing in Huguang is to keep an eye on He Tengjiao, and the second is to keep it secret. Instruct Mu Yun repeatedly. In the south, let Zhai Shishi hide in the south of Changsha first, and only wait for Duoduo to go south, then order him to attack Changsha quickly."

"Remember, sir."

"In addition, Tiao Li Dingguo secretly returned to Nanzhili. Huguang has no place to use him."

"Yes!" Gu Yanwu replied respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more matter that I need to report personally."

"You said."

"His Royal Highness Tang Wang is already on board the warship of the Yangtze River Navy. Look..."

"Pick him back to Beijing in secret, and send him directly to Yongshou Palace. Be sure to pay attention to safety along the way!" Zhu Linmei nodded, "I have to inform the old lady, this is the best news for her."

……

Beijing.

Hall of Martial Arts in the Forbidden City.

"Really?!" Dorgon stood up from the couch with a very excited expression.

Jebuku quickly bowed and said, "Return to Master, he is waiting outside the palace gate."

Dorgon forced himself to calm down, and sat back slowly, "Could this be a cruel trick by the barbarians?"

Zhebuku said: "It shouldn't be. The slave sent back the news from the dark thread in the Nanjing court. The hall of the Nanming Dynasty was in chaos because of the defeat of the Huguang army, and there were many mourners. Zhenjiang, Jiangyin and other important towns have fewer than a thousand defenders.

"There is also a report from the south of the Yangtze River that tens of thousands of people in Nanzhili have recruited more than [-] people to transport grain to Nanjing, and the rough estimate is more than [-] shi. The Yangtze River Ferry is also densely packed with grain ships. It must be to transport grain to Chu."

Dorgon asked again: "How is the situation in Huguang? How long do you think He Tengjiao can hold back the main force of the Nanman?"

Zhebuku gestured to his back, and a strong woman stepped forward and said, "Returning to His Royal Highness, when I left Changsha, I heard that Zhang Xianbi in Wuchang wiped out more than ten thousand Ming troops in Jiangxi, and now thirty thousand troops are besieging five thousand Sichuan. The Ming army is in the Fankou area, and victory will be passed in a short time. He Tengjiao has ordered the Changsha Chu army to go north, preparing to join forces and fight the Ming army in Nanjing.

"Jiao's soldiers and horses are several times that of Zhu Lin's, and they have the right time and place. Even if they cannot win, it will not be a problem to trap the Nanjing Army for half a year."

Dorgon looked at Jebuku, "Is she?"

"Return to the master, this is the capable officer of the servant, named Aruna, and belongs to the Uerkan family of the East Sea."

Dorgon nodded, "The news is accurate?"

"Returning to Master, she has been staying in Changsha with Meng Zhengfa, and what she said just now is what she saw with her own eyes and heard with her own ears."

"Okay," Dorgon finally nodded, "Looks like this is an opportunity. Announce an audience with that surnamed Meng."

"Whoo!"
