Domineering Daming

What he did in Nanannan was in the final analysis the result of Zhu Xu's connivance. If he was serious, he would be a capital punishment!

The surprise attack he launched on Siam this time was a disrespect and violated the peace treaty between Zhu Xu and Siam.The most important thing is that this time Siam was defeated and fell into civil strife. It has promised Dorgon to cede the annexed Phnom Penh Dynasty to Dorgon, hoping that Ming will stop fighting.

The Phnom Penh Dynasty, later Cambodia.

This is a very fertile place, and it is also the place where Dorgon occupies most of it now. It has a large population and fertile land. If he occupies it, his power will expand rapidly, to the point where the Ming Dynasty cannot continue to tolerate it!

But Dorgon is not capable of fighting against Ming now. With his strength and food, he can only make a surprise attack suddenly. If it continues, he will be defeated without a fight!

Therefore, there is only one way right now, and that is to dispel Emperor Daming's doubts and let him keep turning a blind eye!

The temperature difference between day and night in Jingdezhen is still very large. Dorgon came all the way, hungry, but he didn't move at all, kneeling quietly, waiting.

It doesn't matter that Dorgon knelt down, it made those who stared at Xingyuan think about it.

Yuan Zhijing, the mayor of Jingdezhen, looked cold and murderous.

Most of the academics are passionate and have a clear love and hatred. For Dorgon, the thief chieftain who has plagued Liaodong for many years, he should have been killed by a thousand knives!

In the barracks, Hong Chengchou waved his hands as usual when he heard the report.

After the people left, his expression was silent, dignified, worried, uneasy, and flustered.

He sat there, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart. He could feel that something would happen tomorrow. Although he couldn't figure out what it was, it was definitely not a good thing!

There was a knife in front of him, he stared at it for a long time, finally he smiled wryly, and sighed sadly: "I really am not a man of iron..."

Not far from his military tent, Wu Sangui, who had rested for a long time, let out a cold snort when he heard Dorgon kneeling outside the gate.

Their Wu family, or several major families in Liaodong, have been fighting with the Jurchens for many years, and they have countless hatreds.

Several of his family generals were also discussing, one of them said: "This Dorgon didn't talk about marching without permission, but just said that he can't fight back against Siam at once. Isn't this intentional to arouse the fear of the court?"

"This is no fear, it's courting death. Even if the emperor doesn't execute him this time, he will take off a layer of skin. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in Nanannan..."

"He probably won't be able to go anywhere. This time he's doomed. If he doesn't die like this, if the other generals, the governors, and the major governors try to follow suit, it will be a catastrophe..."

Wu Sangui was still reading the military book, listening to the conversation of several people, secretly shaking his head.

Governor Lu told him that there was an extremely important task for him, and he was appointed by the emperor!

Although I don't know the content, it is already a great fortune to be able to be reactivated and to be in the eyes of the emperor!

Wu Sangui told himself to hold his breath and wait quietly, Fei Huang Teng is not far away!

Early the next morning, everyone in Xingyuan knew that Dorgon was kneeling outside, and there were many discussions.

Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun, Liu Rushi and a few children ate around the table, and the little ones were chattering endlessly, even playing around from time to time.

These little guys have gone crazy these days, without the rules and restraints of the palace.

Zhang Yun corrected him a few times, and then let them go. He really couldn't control it.

Halfway through eating, Cao Huachun came in and whispered behind Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, some of Dorgon have fainted."

Zhu Xu drank a few mouthfuls of soup and said, "Where is Dorgon?"

"Still kneeling there, not moving at all," Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu wiped his mouth and said, "Eat it."

After speaking, he got up and walked outside.

The little guys stopped making trouble immediately, and put their little heads together, muttering where to sneak away to play later.

Zhu Xu returned to the study, sat on a chair, thought for a while, and said, "Let Dorgon come in, wash him, change his clothes, eat something, and take him to Zhu Zonghan later."

Zhu Xu looked up at Zhu Xu, and said calmly, "Yes."

Zhu Xu knocked on the table with his fingers disorderly, waited for a moment, and said, "Let Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui come too, it's time."

"Yes." Cao Huachun backed out silently, and asked someone to make arrangements.

When he took Cao Bianjiao and the guards to pick up Dorgon, his lips were chapped, his face was pale, his eyes were slack, and he was only one step away from fainting.

Cao Bianjiao brought in all those who were dizzy or not.

Although Dorgon was about to faint, his reason was very clear. Seeing that he was being carried in, he was completely relieved and fainted with peace of mind.

Dorgon was exhausted from the journey, and knelt for another night. Even though he had been in the army for many years, he couldn't hold it anymore.

After this tossing, I didn't wake up until the afternoon.

At this moment, Dorgon, who had regained some energy, knelt in front of Zhu Xu's desk again, motionless and very respectful.

Zhu Xu leaned back on the chair, expressionless, and said in an extremely indifferent voice, "Do you know that you are a capital offender?"

Dorgon knocked his head to the ground, and said respectfully: "Your servant knows."

"What don't you want to explain?" Zhu Xu asked.

Dorgon said: "Siam has annexed Nanzhang and Phnom Penh, and its strength is already the strongest in the peninsula. The slaves think that it must be contained."

Zhu Xu snorted coldly and said, "Continue."

Dorgon said: "There are only two countries in the southeast peninsula, one is Siam and the other is Burma. Both of these two countries show signs of strong unification. The slaves think that if they cannot be contained as soon as possible, they will definitely become my confidant's troubles and affect the entire country. The emperor's established plan."

These are all on the bright side, Zhu Xu is noncommittal.

Dorgon knew that these were not enough to persuade Zhu Xu, and they were not enough to build a step for him to get out of this matter, so he continued: "The servants raided Siam because they got reliable news that Siam was going to invade Annan and there was a chance to rule the peninsula." This is the exercise of the temporary decision-making power bestowed by the emperor."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, but didn't make a sound.

Dorgon was just foreshadowing, and then said: "Siam has internal and external troubles, and it is impossible to integrate and fight with the ministers. Therefore, their generals have promised the slaves that they will cede the original Phnom Penh Dynasty to my Ming Dynasty. The slaves have estimated that Nan Annan With the land and population of Phnom Penh, within two years, more than 1000 million stones of rice and 300 million silver can be handed over to the court every year."

Zhu Xu stood up and said, "Come with me."

Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, this test has been passed.

Zhu Xu walked in front, Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Su Yinyin and others followed behind, still very vigilant against Dorgon.

Dorgon didn't know that Zhu Zonghan had surrendered himself, and followed Zhu Xu to the cell, looking at Zhu Zonghan who was locked on the chair with suspicious eyes.

He didn't know Zhu Zonghan, and had never met him.

Zhu Zonghan knew Dorgon well, looked at Zhu Xu unsurprisingly, bowed and said: "The guilty minister sees the emperor."

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, hugged the teacup, and said, "Zhu Zonghan, tell me what you think."
