Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu had already stood up, the old man was almost seventy, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Pingshen, come here, give me a seat."

Yuan Keli was very unfamiliar with Zhu Xu, and it was only word of mouth from outsiders. Seeing that he was not as reckless as in the legend, his expression was slightly relieved, and he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did I see Zhu Xu eating, looking at the stool brought by the guards, neither sitting nor standing.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, by the way, General Jin Zhongshan, you should be familiar with Master Yuan."

Yuan Keli's northern navy had many contacts with North Korea, so he naturally knew each other. He raised his hand and saw that Jin Zhongshan was already present, so he had no choice but to sit down too.

Yuan Keli's complexion was rough, but his eyes were piercing. Looking at Zhu Xu, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Jiannu has been leveled. I believe that the northern and southern naval forces can be merged and dispatched in a unified manner."

Zhu Xu was slightly stunned, looked at him and said, "The northern and southern navy have their own responsibilities, with different emphasis, why should they merge?"

Yuan Keli was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the disaster situation in the whole country is serious now, and there are too many areas that need relief, and the navy is costing too much. I think it can be streamlined to save money for the court."

Zhu Xu frowned. Yuan Keli's words couldn't be said to be unreasonable. Without the establishment of slaves, Japan has closed its doors and the Japanese pirates have basically become history. In fact, it is really unnecessary to keep a huge navy in the north.Moreover, in the future, the expenses will increase, but the income of the imperial court will decrease. Retaining the huge northern navy will seem superfluous in the eyes of the ruling and opposition parties.

But, is there any general who wants to disband his team?

Zhu Xu looked at Yuan Keli and said, "Is there any reason?"

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't immediately agree, Yuan Keli was obviously different from the previous Tianqi and Wanli, and thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the imperial court can't be distracted in controlling the two navy, which is not conducive to the strength of the navy. The most important thing is the quality, not the abundance! Although I don't know much about the red-haired people, I can imagine that an elite navy of 5 people and nearly a hundred warships are enough to protect the safety of the south..."

Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, and said: "You think that the navy is expanding too fast and has not formed enough combat power, right?"

Yuan Keli has led the navy for many years, and when he saw the key point of what the emperor said, he did not hide it and said: "Yes, I think that both the northern and southern navy need to be streamlined. No matter how many ships are built, it is better to train them." A good ship of elite soldiers."

Zhu Xu understood, and said with a smile: "Yes, I understand. After returning to Beijing, I will discuss with the military officials."

Yuan Keli did not expect the emperor to be "kind and amiable". He was always worried that the emperor would be dazzled by the great victory and continue to "be aggressive".

When Zhu Xu saw it, he hurriedly said to a forbidden army not far away: "Quick, pass on the military doctor!" The military doctor in Jinzhou City was also equipped by Sun Chengzong according to Zhu Xu's request.

Yuan Keli coughed a few times, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just an old problem, I don't mind."

Seeing that his face was flushed and his beard was hard, Zhu Xu said solemnly: "My lord has worked hard all the way, you don't need to accompany me, go to rest, come here, arrange a room for lord Yuan, let the military doctor take a good look at it!"

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were always sympathetic to their courtiers, Yuan Keli was not moved, but rather relieved, and stood up to respond.

Jin Zhongshan has been watching silently, expressionless, still remembering what happened just now in his heart.

With Yuan Keli's matter in mind, the meal could no longer be "happy and harmonious", so Zhu Xu ate some in a hurry, and asked Jin Zhongshan to rest, and came to Yuan Keli's room in person.

The military doctor just came out, saw the emperor, hurriedly saluted, Zhu Xu waved his hand, looked inside, and said in a low voice, "Master Yuan, is it okay?" An old man who is almost seventy can't be careless.

The military doctor quickly raised his hand and said, "Master Yuan is overworked and sick from overwork. He needs to be recuperated. It shouldn't matter."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and couldn't help but think of what Yuan Keli said just now, and sighed inwardly, "This old man, I'm afraid it's because of his health that he made this suggestion."

Zhu Xu didn't bother, went back to his temporary "Imperial Study Room", and continued to look at various "playbooks" as usual.A steady stream of letters from Feige came from Shenyang, describing everything that happened in Shenyang.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and couldn't help yawning. He basically didn't sleep last night, and now he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He wrapped his clothes and lay down on the table.

After a while, the little girl brought by Zu Dashou came in. Seeing Zhu Xu falling asleep on the table, she quietly put a blanket on Zhu Xu and walked out, then closed the door, and stood at the door in a pretty and lively manner. Straight, like a little guard.

At the same time, the carriage of Zhu Youjian and others also entered Shanhaiguan and was rushing to Jinzhou City non-stop.

In the lobby, Dorgon was pleading for orders from Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong was quite surprised, looked at him unchanged and said: "You mean, you want the more than 1 cavalry brought by Shuotuo and Duoduo to merge into the Tiger Wolf Guard?"

In this way, Dorgon has more than 2 cavalry. If he colludes with Huang Taiji or Horqin, the threat to the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty and even Shenyang just won will increase greatly!

With Dorgon's intelligence and prudence, shouldn't he make such a request?

Dorgon's face was calm, or expressionless. He looked at Sun Chengzong and said firmly: "Yes, my subordinates believe that the confluence of Huang Taiji and Horqin is the biggest threat on the grassland. There is not enough cavalry to restrain them and they can only be left alone." Sit big, and may threaten Liaodong and Shenyang again in the future!"

What Dorgon said is correct, but it doesn't matter who said it.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one would agree to his request!

Sun Chengzong was no exception, he kept looking at Dorgon, trying to see something from his expression, but he couldn't see through.

Sun Chengzong pondered, Er said: "I need to carefully consider this matter, what other ideas do you have?"

Dorgon also expected this result, and said: "My lord, please build a city outside the Great Wall. A big city can be monitored and attacked at any time. At the same time, it will also shock the tribes of Monan Mongolia near the Great Wall and force them to fight with Chaha. The Seoul Alliance will become another line of defense outside the Great Wall!"

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly. This Dorgon is a capable, strategic, and courageous person. It can be seen from the fact that he only had 1 people yesterday and dared to charge in front of Horqin and Huang Taiji's 5 troops.

His idea is also very good, and it is not difficult to implement. The key point is - Dorgon is a slave builder!

Chapter 489

Dorgon's request for orders is not decided by the Ministry of War, nor by Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong looked at Dorgon, and said after a while: "Whether the Tiger Wolf Guard will be expanded or not involves too much, especially Chahar. I need to make a careful planning before deciding."

Dorgon knew that he hadn't won the trust of the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, even though he had worked so hard yesterday.

Similarly, he also knew that his every move had to be decided by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

His expression was calm, but his heart was anxious.

Although the Tiger Wolf Guard under his command is cooperating with Chahar, it seems to be holding back Monan Mongolia, but in fact, his role is to hold back Huang Taiji, and he is a "hostage". The country is gone, what is the need for him to exist as a hostage?

Therefore, his request is to retreat to advance, to declare his sense of existence.

The goal has been achieved, and Dorgon didn't bother him too much, he raised his hand and said, "Then, I will retire."

Sun Chengzong hummed lightly, looked at his back, frowned, and looked a little unhappy.

According to his original intention, he would never appoint someone like Dorgon, who has a complex identity and deep scheming. For the Ming court, this person has concentrated all negative shortcomings, and it is absolutely impossible to appoint him!

However, he had a bad premonition in his heart that the emperor might still use it, or even reuse it!

Sun Chengzong looked indifferent, with inexplicable worries in his heart.

In just five years since the emperor ascended the throne, he has already solved the biggest border problem, his prestige is getting higher and higher, and his own administration is imminent. Once he can justifiably take over the government, if he insists on doing something his own way, who can dissuade him?

Sun Chengzong's worries were also fleeting. At present, the emperor is still modest and cautious, and there is no sign of stubbornness.

"We have to deal with the Liaodong affairs as soon as possible." Sun Chengzong buried himself in the case again.

Zhu Xu slept until it was dark, and felt that his arms were numb and uncomfortable, and his whole body was cold, so he woke up with difficulty.

He took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes, looked around, took another deep breath, and finally regained consciousness.
