Chongzhen Chat Group

After Emperor Chongzhen saw the new strategy, he agreed with it. After comparing it with the situation during the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, he suddenly discovered that there was a very big advantage at this time.

In later generations, if the Japanese army alone could not sustain the war for eight years, it would have been defeated even without the Allies participating in the war. There is no other reason than that the number of Japanese soldiers is limited and they cannot be consumed.

At this time, Jianlu was in such a situation on the Korean Peninsula. If Lu Xiangsheng could keep eating Jianlu in small bites, then the combat power of both sides would be fundamentally changed. And this is due to the fact that Jianlu has always ignored the power of the puppet army.

In other words, although North Korea is weak, whether they side with Ming Dynasty or Jianlu will have a great impact on the war situation.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately issued an order to summon the North Korean envoy.

Wu Daji had been staying in the post house for several days and had not received any news of the summons. He walked to the street. Although he was shocked by so many new things in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he was still very anxious. When he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he was overjoyed.

In fact, when North Korean envoys come, they may not be able to see the emperor. Most of the time, it's just officials from the Ministry of Etiquette. If the emperor can summon him, it will be a great gift.

"Wu Daji, deputy director of Hongwen Hall, a junior official in the country, has met the Ming Emperor. Long live, long live, long live!" Wu Daji performed the most respectful ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"Get back on your feet!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to Wu Daji to stand up, and then said with a smile, "I am very busy, and I believe you can also see what is happening in the capital. But I also know your purpose of coming, and I also care about the Korean people in my heart. Today If you can spare some time, you can bring a few words to the King of Korea."

When Wu Daji heard this, he immediately listened attentively.

"I, Governor Denglai of the Ming Dynasty, personally arrived in North Korea and annihilated more than a thousand rebels. However, he has just taken office and needs time to familiarize himself with the Dongjiang military strength and the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, you go back and tell the King of North Korea that he must persist and resolve You must not stab my Ming Dynasty in the back while our soldiers are fighting bloody battles for your country, or drag my Ming Dynasty back. If this happens, I will regard North Korea as an enemy country and will destroy it!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We in Korea hate Jianlu deeply, and there is no such possibility!" Upon hearing this, Wu Daji immediately expressed his stance confidently. At the same time, I was also happy in my heart. It turned out that the Ming Emperor had been helping North Korea, and even the governor of Denglai personally came to help, and he also annihilated more than a thousand Jianlu. It was really great!

After listening to his words, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "As you can see, I am organizing and training the new army. When the army is ready, it will be the time to regain our Ming Dynasty and Liaodong. And I will also choose the opportunity to personally conquer the army, and I will surely destroy it." Jianlu..."

Hearing this, Wu Daji couldn't help but look surprised. The young Emperor Ming was so brave! After such a comparison, he recalled the frightened look on the king's face when he and his colleagues persuaded the king to go on a personal expedition and resolutely resist Jianlu. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the king is not as rich as the Ming Emperor!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what he was thinking, and continued to tell him: "There are always ups and downs in the war against the captives. To be honest, the military strength of the captive captives is still very strong, so the war in Korea must be an arduous process, but As long as we can survive it, with the Ming Dynasty’s national strength and all preparations made, we will definitely send more troops to support North Korea, either destroy the Jianlu in North Korea, or expel the Jianlu from North Korea, and eventually hunt Liaodong.”

Having said this, he paused for a while, his face became serious, and he said seriously: "Go back and tell your king that no matter how the situation may become, even if it is very difficult, he must believe that the final victory will be Yes. In addition to the Ming Dynasty's efforts to destroy the captives, North Korea must also make efforts. There is absolutely no reason why only the Ming Dynasty soldiers fought bloody battles in North Korea, let alone North Korea helping build the captives to attack our Ming Dynasty soldiers, otherwise..."

Emperor Chongzhen's voice rose a little higher, and his tone became firmer, and he said sternly: "After I destroy the Jianlu, I will lead a large army to destroy North Korea again!"

"No, although our country in North Korea is small and weak, we are aware of our propriety, justice and integrity. We will never abandon our country and turn our backs to help the evil tyrants!" Wu Daji immediately expressed his stance again, saying with the same decisiveness.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly when he heard this, then waved his hand, and the chamberlain beside him picked up a tray and walked towards Wu Daji.

"The Korean people suffered deeply from the captives, and I am also concerned about them. Take this reward of 10,000 taels with you and give it to the King of Korea so that he can distribute it to the Korean people and improve their lives!"

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen say this, Wu Daji couldn't help but kneel down to thank him again. At the same time, he wondered in his mind, could it be the Ming Dynasty banknotes?

What Emperor Chongzhen gave was indeed Ming Dynasty banknotes. This is an opportunity to expand the influence of Ming Dynasty banknotes, and he will definitely not let it go.

In history, when North Korea sent troops to participate in the Battle of Sarhu at the request of the Ming Dynasty, nearly five thousand people died, and Emperor Wanli also rewarded him with ten thousand taels of silver. Therefore, there is precedent for Emperor Chongzhen to give these ten thousand taels.

If before the change, Emperor Chongzhen had rewarded him with 10,000 taels of Ming Dynasty banknotes, Wu Daji might have felt conflicted.

But at this time, he had been in the capital for a few days and knew that these Ming Dynasty banknotes were definitely not the previous Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. They could be exchanged for real gold and silver from the Ming Dynasty Central Bank at any time. In other words, there was no difference between the silver coins. It’s also easy to carry and you don’t have to worry about the quality, which is a good thing.

Thinking this way, he even wanted the king to follow the example of the Celestial Kingdom after he returned. This would be very convenient.

After Emperor Chongzhen personally received him and emphasized his intention, he asked Wu Daji to set off immediately and rush back to North Korea day and night to convey his intention to the King of North Korea.

After handling this matter, a chamberlain suddenly walked in quickly and reported with a slightly panicked look: "Your Majesty, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, the eunuch of the Internal Supervision and War Bureau, and the eunuch of the Armory Superintendent are all in the weapons department. Kune hanged himself to death.”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised at all. The reason why he gave such orders before and even sent Wu Weiting to the Jinyiwei Prison and brought him back to the armory was that he already knew the final outcome would be like this.

Only if these three people are dead can the issue of arms corruption be considered a top priority. Next, if you don't want to investigate further, it makes sense to stop here, and there is a step to go down.

Given one day, even if those three people didn't want to die, those who were horribly implicated by them would never let them go.

When several aspects are combined, those three people are destined to die.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and thought carefully about how to deal with this matter.

I'll go have breakfast and write again when I get back. The fourth update will probably be around 11 o'clock.
