Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 680
"Dorgon is dead..."

In the city of Shengjing, Chen Mingxia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Tanhua in the 16th year of Chongzhen, is practicing calligraphy, his face full of contemplation.

He is a representative of Fushe

He was also the Hanchen who was coerced to Liaodong and used by the Qing Dynasty.

As a Tanhua, Chen Mingxia is naturally a smart person, and he immediately glimpsed Man Qing's weakness from Dorgon's serious illness.

The new imperial court he pursued, after withdrawing from Beijing, has already begun to linger on the follow-up.

At this moment, a servant suddenly reported that Chen Zhilin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had come.

Chen Zhilin was the second place in Chongzhen's ten-year list, and he was deeply trusted because he flattered Dorgon a lot.

"Baishi, why are you bored at home?"

Chen Zhilin came quickly, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yansheng, summer time has come, the water is raging!"

Chen Mingxia shook his head, and said with a little deep meaning: "For safety, it's safest to stay at home."

"What you said is reasonable, but traveling between various places is a means of making a living as a businessman. If it is cut off, wouldn't it be like a fish out of water?"

Chen Zhilin spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Brother Yansheng, you said that the river lacks water, can you still fish?"

Chen Mingxia raised his head and said something thought-provoking.

Chen Zhilin was stunned.

He was silent, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Although there are three catties of nails on a rotten ship, there is no hope for Man Qing on this ship now, and those who boarded the ship have no choice but to be buried with them.

The Han officials were quick-witted, but for a warrior like Zu Dashou, he could see most clearly that in the Qing Dynasty, he was really about to perish.

The old fox for many years made him move his mind in an instant.

"The good relationship formed in North Korea, if it continues today, although it will not make my family rich and powerful, it is possible to keep it safe."

Looking up at the sky, Zu Dashou's cloudy eyes were full of anticipation.

……

And in Yuquan Villa, the emperor was admiring a white elephant sent from Yunnan, and several other round elephants.

It was the first time for the children to see such a behemoth, and the exclamation continued for a while, especially when they were willing to feed these creatures, they couldn't stop at all.

Zhu Yixi was not surprised by the elephant, but his eyes stopped on the little white elephant for a moment.

In the feudal era, albino animals were often representatives of auspiciousness. Zhu Meng and Li Dingguo were thoughtful in contributing to the stability of the rule.

"Your Majesty, I learned from the Ministry of Rites that since the Hongwu period, there have been 330 and two families of native officials in Yunnan, and there are 290 and three of them now.

Most of the capable ones have come, and those little chieftains in the corner of the mountain crevice may not know about it at all, or they may have already disappeared. "

Du Yinxi, Minister of the Lifan Academy, bowed behind him, glanced at the white elephant from the corner of his eye, but muttered in his heart.

This is a flashy thing, eating so much can only be used as an admiration, the martial artist is really shameful, he can only flatter and flatter.

"Ok!"

The emperor nodded and said casually: "Arrange his son to study in the Imperial College, don't let their hearts be chilled."

For those chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhu Yixi really has no good way, but can only slowly return the soil to the people.

For example, Li Dingguo followed Sun Kewang all the way into Burma, received them along the way, or surrendered to Sun Kewang's chieftain, either compensation or land cession, or even perish.

After this item, more than ten chieftains died.

But in the tropical rainforest, in the corners of the land, setting up officials is a joke, and they don't understand the language.

Therefore, for these chieftains, the imperial court still tends to keep them as they are.

Zhu Yixi also agrees with this, but proposes an asymptotic approach:

Since you can't change the mountain people, then change the chieftain.

Let the chieftain transform from a barbarian into a well-educated scholar.

This kind of spiritual improvement is fatal to the chieftain.

After experiencing the prosperity of the capital, who would like to go back to the hometown of Shangougou?The wide field of vision made them not want to be confined to the toast.

The change from top to bottom is the simplest and most convenient.

"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you won't be in danger in a hundred battles."

The emperor said indifferently: "I have decided to form a mountain army in Yunnan. At that time, I will need the cooperation of the Lifan Academy to recruit strong men from the chieftains."

"Thinking about it, with this army, there will be very little rebellion in Yunnan."

"Your Majesty is wise." Du Yinxi knew the deep meaning after a little taste.

With these leading parties, when the time comes, whichever chieftain makes trouble, he can go straight to the place where he wants to hit.

"What do you think of the Chahar Ministry?"

Suddenly, the emperor changed his voice and asked about the grassland.

Of course Du Yinxi understood that this was not about Chahar, but about Chahar's marriage.

In order to appease the grassland, marriage is naturally the simplest and most practical method.

Naturally, the princess cannot marry outside, so she can only marry outside.

"Minister, I think that Governor Sun's actions are very appropriate."

After hesitating again and again, Du Yinxi could only bite the bullet and say.

"That's fine."

The emperor nodded and said appreciatively: "If you read too many books, you need to be more flexible in state affairs. How can you act rashly?"

"You can go around more and enlighten those whose heads are rigid."

Facing the emperor's persuasion, Du Yinxi could only show a forced smile.

To liven up his mood, the emperor suddenly announced that he was going to visit Tianjin Mansion.

Now, the cabinet is busy again.

After arranging everything, Yujia moved from Yuquan Mountain, passed Beijing City, and went straight to Tianjin.

Tianjin Fu, which came from the merger of the Tianjin Three Guards, has an accent that is mostly a fusion of Jianghuai and Beijing dialect. Although it is not as strong as the later generations, it is not far behind.

The emperor ignored the greeting from the Tianjin government office, and went directly to the navy office by the sea.

Beihai Naval Yamen, which was the main force of the navies established in Huguang and Nanjing, is also one of the three major navies of the imperial court.

The Donghai Navy is based in the Zhoushan Islands, the South China Sea is in Guangzhou, and the Beihai Navy is in Tianjin.

Due to the factors of guarding Gyeonggi and containing Liaodong, the Beihai Navy has a large scale, with more than [-] warships of more than [-] materials, and countless less than [-] materials.

The number of sailors exceeded 2.

In terms of supporting North Korea and operating military supplies, the North Sea Navy has made a lot of contributions, and it is also the most eye-catching navy of the court.

It was Prime Minister Hui Deng who commanded this navy.

Now he has been granted the title of Marquis of Laizhou because of his meritorious service, and he is also in the upper reaches of the nobles.

Hearing that the emperor came to Tianjin, Prime Minister Huideng rushed over and greeted him warmly until the emperor moved into the Navy Yamen.

He had a bitter face, and was a little panicked for a moment.

Your Majesty, what is this for?
Looking at Prime Minister Hui Deng's face, the emperor didn't care, and said directly: "How is the Beihai division in the Yalu River? I heard that Manqing is repairing a ship and preparing to enter the sea?"
