Domineering Daming

In the imperial study, Zhu Xu took a sip of tea.

Zhu Zonghan came in first, with this notebook in his hand, while reading it, he raised his head to look at Zhu Xu, and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Dan Khan broke through Shenyang, but before he had time to do anything, Huang Taiji arrived, and he killed a lot. He was about to run away, was chased by Huang Taiji to western Liaoning and killed most of the troops, and now he has run back to Chahar."

Zhu Xu shook his head and smiled, and said: "Lin Danhan knew the news so long in advance, and is still obsessed with breaking Shenyang. He has a strong desire for revenge."

Zhu Zonghan expressionless, said: "It is said that many people were killed. Amin was almost murdered and escaped by hiding in the hut. Many other Baylors and ministers were killed. In addition, Nurhachi's tomb was dug up."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, this time, Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji are really going to die.

"Hmm." Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Keep an eye on me, and especially the matter of firearms, you have to pay more attention. I will never allow Jiannu to own firearms, especially cannons!"

Zhu Zonghan bowed and said, "Yes."

"What's the news from the Mongolian side?" Zhu Xu said. After the Jinjing was defeated, the cavalry dropped sharply, and their strength was greatly weakened. Presumably their Mongolian allies must have other thoughts.

Zhu Zonghan said: "There seems to be some changes in the departments of Harqin, Naiman, and Khalkha, but there is no specific action yet."

Zhu Xu nodded his head and said in thought: "Lin Danhan also made a contribution this time, and I should reward him."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, and said, "I remember, there are some problems with Bi Maokang's new cannon?"

Cao Huachun turned around and said: "Yes, it is said that although the range is long, the requirements for shells are very high, and the chamber is easy to explode."

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Well, tell Bi Maokang to make some improvements. The shells should be specially designed so that outsiders cannot imitate them. I will reward Lin Danhan for the production of [-]. I think he will be very happy. .”

Cao Huachun said: "Follow the order."

Zhu Zonghan did not speak. He knew very well that there were many tribes in Monan Mongolia, and most of them had an ambiguous relationship with Jiannu. Although the Chahar tribe was strong, it was not enough. Lin Danhan really wanted to make a difference. will be very happy.

Zhu Xu was thinking about the ammunition supplier in his heart, and said with a calm face: "The Mongolian ministries should also pay close attention to it. If there is any trouble, report it to me in time."

"Yes." Zhu Zonghan bowed.

Zhu Zonghan left, and Luo Yangxing came in after him.

Zhu Xu asked directly: "I plan to station 13 troops in Yunnan, Zuo Liangyu's [-] shooting tiger troops, and Zhao led another [-] cavalry to cooperate with [-] cannons. How likely is it that there are two Propaganda Departments?"

Since Zhu Xu sent him to Yunnan, Luo Yangxing guessed that there would be such a day, pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many wars in Burma, there are many rebels, and there are many people who yearn for my Ming Dynasty. If there are 10,000+ troops, a hundred Cannons, suddenly dispatching troops, there will be a big victory."

Luo Yangxing's words were very vague and did not specify clearly.

Zhu Xu understood what he meant. Burma had been at war with Daming since Wanli ten years ago, and it lasted for decades, and it was only a dozen years ago that it silently stopped fighting.Myanmar's combat power is now very clear to many people, and it is not so easy to defeat.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking silently, and said for a long time: "You send three thousand households to go to Yunnan together with Zhao Ledjiao, and let me find out all aspects of Myanmar, except for war, where is suitable for farming, suitable for reclamation, land Fertility, you have to check it out, choose the opportunity to enter, since you want to fight, you have to have results, I can't waste the power of the army and the people..."

Luo Yangxing was a little worried, for fear that Zhu Xu was a good martial artist and a warlike emperor who wanted to expand the territory of Ming Dynasty, so he agreed quietly.

Zhu Xu paused and said again: "In addition to Burma, Annan also needs to find out, first provoke them to fight among themselves, let's be fishermen..."

Seeing that Zhu Xu was not dazzled by the Liaodong War, Luo Yangxing felt relieved and said, "Observe the order."

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he didn't ask any more questions, his mouth was dry, and he picked up another cup of tea.

Seeing that Zhu Xu had finished speaking, Luo Yangxing said, "Your Majesty, we had secret meetings with Yuan Chonghuan several times before Xinwang. It seems that King Fu and others deliberately did not go to Beijing, and there are a few princes who are somewhat involved outside the pass."

As he spoke, he took out a playbook and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu took it over, flipped through it, and said, "Well, I know all of these things, so let's not move them. After you go back, hand over Zhangjiakou and other places that involve trade with Mongolia and slave trade to the Ministry of Households."

Luo Yangxing also knew that the emperor had other information channels, so he bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu let out a deep breath, and said: "South, when Zhao leads the coaches and soldiers to be safe, we will start, at most one or two years, you have more snacks, go."

"Yes." Luo Yangxing agreed.

After Zhu Xu finished these, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the Palace of Compassion."

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu, smiling as he walked, "Your Majesty, I heard that your majesty ordered the imperial dining room to be prepared early in the morning, and now there is probably a large table of delicious food waiting for you."

Zhu Xu also smiled, that is, the Palace of Compassion and Ning can make you feel comfortable and happy from the bottom of your heart. With his hands behind his back, he thought for a while and said, "Well, what's wrong with the emperor's wife recently?"

Cao Huachun said: "I don't know about this."

Zhu Xu nodded, and thought to himself, his palace has been tidied up neatly, and there will be no unsightly things.

"I'll give you half a day off. If you have anything to do, go and do it."

Cao Huachun did have something to do, he bowed down and said with a smile: "My servant thanked the emperor."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and strode into Kunning Palace.

Little Yongning's giggles could be heard from afar.

The little guy is over one year old and can talk and walk easily.

"I have seen the emperor."

Along the way, the palace servants saluted one after another, and Zhu Xu waved his hands and strode into the room.

Xiao Yongning was holding the small stool with both hands, holding the snare drum in his hand, and was beating happily on the stool.

As Zhu Xu walked in, the little guy looked over, blinked, and was about to run over. Zhu Xu quickly trotted a few steps, hugged the little guy, looked at the little guy with a smile, and said, "Little Yongning, do you think about it?" Uncle Emperor..."

The little guy opened his eyes wide, with a look of joy on his face, a pair of small hands pulled his skirt, and said in a childish voice: "Uncle Emperor... delicious..."

Zhu Xu laughed loudly, picked her up, and said: "Yes, I will take you out of the palace tomorrow, and I have everything you want to eat..."

Xiao Yongning giggled, as if he was afraid of tickle, twisted his little body and said, "Chicken...chicken leg..."

Zhu Xu smacked his mouth, pinched her little cheek, and said: "Your uncle likes to eat chicken legs, choose something else."

"Chicken leg..." The little guy pinched Zhu Xu's face with his small hands, without compromise.

Zhu Xu laughed, Empress Dowager Zhang came over, hugged the little guy, and said with a soft smile: "Sit down quickly, I've been bored for a few today, and I can eat as much as I want."

The little guy pulled Zhu Xu's skirt and was reluctant to let go, and he still shouted: "Chicken legs, Uncle Huang..."

Zhu Xu was really happy, and said: "Okay, today I will make an exception and give you one!"

The little guy didn't know whether he understood or not, he was talking happily.

The dishes are opened one by one, the aroma is tangy and refreshing.

Zhu Xu saw the white and tender chicken legs at first sight, and he stretched out his hand to grab them.

Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted him with a chopstick, and said angrily: "It's been so long since I've been on the throne, and I still don't have any manners at all."

Zhu Xu chuckled and said, "I see that little Yongning is hungry, so I want to give it to her first."
