Chapter 701 The basic situation of Yunnan (fourth update)

According to Dorgon's original idea, the Japanese country fought against North Korea in the past, and then fought against the Ming Dynasty. This was a hostile relationship. But at that time, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who initiated the war. Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi died later, as long as his descendants are still alive, they will still be enemies with the Ming Dynasty. In this way, if the Qing Dynasty sent envoys to the Japanese country, it would be much easier to talk about things.

But what I didn't expect was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son was so bad that he was usurped by his generals and was killed by Tokugawa Ieyasu a few years ago. Today's Japanese country is dominated by Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third generation of the Tokugawa family. It's hard to say what their attitude was towards the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

Ying Erdai naturally understood Dorgon's idea. As expected of a talented person among Jianlu who was good at diplomacy, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Dorgon: "Master Beile, the general thought that maybe he could visit Japan with great fanfare. I believe that many people in Japan are interested in Ming Dynasty. There is still hatred in the country. After hearing about our victories in the Qing Dynasty, they will naturally jump out and take the initiative to speak for us!"

In the two previous wars, Japan also lost many people. Among those who participated in the war, many are still alive even now. It is impossible for those people to have a good impression of the Ming Kingdom. If there is a chance to retaliate against the Ming Kingdom, even if they do not form an alliance, they are likely to add fuel to the flames and make life difficult for the Ming Kingdom.

After hearing this, Dorgon's eyes lit up. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said: "This is a good idea! In this way, after you go to the Japanese country, in addition to paying homage to Tokugawa Iemitsu, you should also pay more attention to other forces. Let’s see if we can get the support of others. At this time, no matter who it is, as long as they support the Qing Dynasty, they are our allies of the Qing Dynasty!”

"Yes, my brother is right. It doesn't matter who is in charge of the Japanese country. As long as he is friendly to our Qing Dynasty and can give us food, we will treat him as an ally." When Duduo heard this, he also jumped out to speak. Morbid, "I really want to make the Qing Dynasty unhappy. I will send troops to destroy them!"

When Dorgon heard this, he turned to look at him, frowned a little, weighed it in his mind, shook his head and reprimanded: "The strength of the Japanese country should not be underestimated. How can it be destroyed so easily?"

Duduo was scolded by him and shrank his head, not daring to talk back.

Dorgon turned to look at Ying Erdai again and ordered him: "Don't listen to Duduo's nonsense. After you go there, you must keep a low profile and don't harm the Japanese country. Do you understand?"

Ying Erdai was not Duduo, so he nodded quickly to show that he understood.

So, after discussing some details, Ying Erdai was ordered to set off for Japan.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know about this. At this time, he was in a very good mood. First, through the chat group, he learned that the Horqin tribe had really moved closer to the Ming Dynasty this time; then he added some more people, and unexpectedly added Zheng Zhilong's younger brother. This is just right. The one named Zheng Zhiwan was transferred to the Denglai Navy, and Liu Jinsheng was transferred to the Fujian Navy. This can be regarded as overt supervision.

In addition, there are already 90 people in the group, and it is time to develop a few more "insiders". With this in mind, he called Dongchang Admiral Wang Chengen and Jinyiwei Commander Liu Xingzuo, and asked them to analyze and study the people in the group, and then submit a list to see those people who were suitable to become Dongchang Fanyi or Jinyi Colonel. .

Also, there is news coming back from Yunnan. The assistant minister Min Hongxue has arrived and met Ba Dengding, a native of Mubang. With Baden Ding by his side, he can have direct and instant contact through the chat group, and the messages are no longer blocked.

Currently in Yunnan, because the funds from the King of Tang have not yet been received, Min Hongxue is only making preliminary preparations for recruiting and training troops, and does not even have the money to send soldiers to Dongwu. But even so, there is still good news, which is about the Duke of Guizhou, that is, the matter of becoming the Prince Mu's Mansion among the people.

The original Duke of Guizhou, Mu Qiyuan, was a dandy who only succeeded but failed, and could only rely on Zu Yin to dominate.

In the 40th year of Wanli, Mu Qiyuan's grandfather Mu Changzuo resigned from his post due to illness, and Mu Qiyuan began to serve as the commander-in-chief of Qianshi, but the real power was still in the hands of Mu Changzuo.

In the second year of Tianqi, Guizhou Anbangyan rebelled. Min Hongxue became the governor and was ordered to put down the rebellion. He sent Mu Changzuo and Mu Qiyuan to the expedition. As a result, the two were afraid and blamed each other. As a result, the relationship between the two parties was very poor.

This is not over yet. In December of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Mu Changzuo died, and on Dingmao, March of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Mu Qiyuan succeeded his grandfather to the Dukedom of Guizhou. As a result, Mu Qiyuan's dandy character was even more exposed. He was frivolous and lawless, allowing his slaves to harm the people, and patrolling Yu Yao to arrest the illegal slaves according to the law. As a result, Mu Qiyuan actually mobilized troops and aimed artillery at the Inspector's Office.

Min Hongxue heard the news and led his troops to rush there. Fortunately, his mother, the Song family, learned of the news and quickly stepped forward. While ordering Mu Qiyuan to retreat, she went to Min Hongxue and Yu Yan to put in good words. Wei Zhongxian was in power at that time and gave many gifts, finally settling the matter.

Later, after Min Hongxue resigned as governor and Yu Yao was transferred away, Mu Qiyuan returned to his old ways and became lawless in the countryside again. Finally, in June of the first year of Chongzhen in Jihai, his mother Song was afraid that he would bring trouble to the family, so she poisoned Mu Qiyuan to death. His son Mu Tianbo, who was only ten years old, inherited the title of Duke of Guizhou.

Now Min Hongxue has arrived in Yunnan again as an imperial envoy as an auxiliary minister. The Duke of Guizhou is young, and it is mainly presided over by the Song family and the housekeeper Ruan brothers. They behaved very low-key and were very cooperative with Min Hongxue's requirements, which made it much easier for Min Hongxue to do things.

But even so, things in Yunnan are not easy to handle. Unlike the Central Plains, toasts are everywhere here. The relationship between various tribes is even more complicated. Fortunately, Min Hongxue had led troops here to put down the rebellion, so they didn't cause chaos. But after all, he had been away for several years, and the relationship between the various tribes still needed to be sorted out. The most important thing is that we have to wait for King Tang's funds to be in place before we can do anything.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about the latest news and didn't pay too much attention. He didn't even pay attention to things about Zhu Xieyuan. After all, these things are relatively stable and show no signs of deterioration.

But the Gaizhou Battle in Liaodong started immediately. Although the battle has not yet started, the navy has already been dispatched. Even the fleet departing from Guanning has already landed on Lianyun Island outside Gaizhou Bay. They landed on the side away from the land and piled up new military supplies and wooden houses for rest. It can be described as a lively situation.

Calculating the time, the fleet departing from Lushun will probably arrive at Lianyun Island soon. After resting and replenishing materials here, they will launch a war against Gaizhou.

According to the plan, there is another chapter tonight. I don’t know if I can code it out. Don’t wait any longer. It will be the same tomorrow.
