Domineering Daming

Chen Qiyu returned to Shuntian Mansion and discussed with Chen Suowen for a while, but he could only pin his hopes on the magistrates who will enter Beijing tomorrow.

The whole Beizhili donated together, in the name of Governor Shuntian, with some "means", the amount would not be too small, right?

Chapter 568 Body Fragrance

Outside Jingyang Palace.

Bumbutai and Hailanzhu waited for less than half an hour, but the Emperor Ming still had "no time" to summon them, which made both of them feel gloomy and uncomfortable.

"Two envoys, the emperor is discussing matters with your lords. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you today. Please go back." An inner eunuch came out of the imperial study and stood in front of the door and said to the two of them.

Bumbutai frowned slightly, then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to the eunuch, saying: "Eunuch, this is my handwritten letter, please give it to Emperor Ming."

Hai Lanzhu was startled, and quickly took out a letter and said, "This is a letter written by me, Horqin Khan."

The inner eunuch took a look, took it over and said: "You two, please go back, the rules in the palace are strict, you must not walk around at will."

Bumbutai bowed his body and saluted before leaving.

There is an internal prison on the side, accompanied by Gong'e.

Inside the imperial study.

Zhu Xu was looking at Wei Zhongxian's playbook, and said, "In the land of Beizhili, if there is an undercurrent, the waves will not be disturbed, and there seems to be a big movement."

Zhu Xu smiled, put it aside, and continued to look at the playbook.

This is the memorabilia of Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Yunnan, saying that Annan has the intention of invading the north, and I hope the imperial court will allow Yunnan the right to "make decisions on the fly".

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes as he looked at the memorial. Today's Yunnan is different from later generations. It has a huge territory and a complex population. There are more than [-] troops stationed there. What it faces is the complex situation in Southeast Asia.

He pondered, Zuo Liangyu is the kind of person who needs to be tied with a rope, once the rope is removed, no one knows what can be done.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhu Xu's eyes flashed with cold light, he thought a lot.

He took out the map from under the table, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Annan, Laos, Myanmar, especially looking at the southernmost tip of Yunnan, it seems that it is not far from the Indian Ocean!

Zhu Xu thought about it silently for a while, Dorgon's cavalry should be coming soon, and Yang Sichang is probably not far away, and with Yang Sichang's restraint, Zuo Liangyu should not be able to turn the sky.

"Preach the decree." Zhu Xu still stared at the map, and said: "Yang Sichang, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, controls the army in Yunnan, and he decides all the battle situation by himself. Zuo Liangyu and others are all under orders, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Observe the order." Liu Shimin responded from the side.

Zhu Xu was still scratching his fingers, muttering to himself, "If you can get to the Indian Ocean from here, you can bypass Malacca, build roads, emigrate, build an army, a naval base, a sea trade city..."

At this time, an inner eunuch walked in, handed two letters to Cao Huachun, whispered a few words, and quietly withdrew.

Cao Huachun made some inspections, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Bumbutai and Hailanzhu have presented Huang Taiji and Badali's personal letters."

Zhu Xu groaned, turned his head to look at him, then turned his head again, and said: "Let it go, I will look at it later."

Cao Huachun stepped forward, put down the letter, and returned it.

Zhu Xu stared at the map, thinking carefully.

If we can build a road from Yunnan to the Indian Ocean through the southeast peninsula, station troops and emigrate along the road, it will definitely be a very wonderful thing.

Zhu Xu clenched his fist and knocked on it hard, took a deep breath, and said, "Send an order to the Military Weapons Bureau, and send another [-] cannons to Yunnan, and ask for the best kind!"

"Follow the order." Cao Huachun said.

Liu Shimin at the side heard the words, his heart moved, and he said, "Your Majesty, Xu Shilang from the Ministry of Industry has made an appointment to bring someone into the palace for an audience tomorrow."

Zhu Xu nodded nonchalantly, and said, "Well, let's check the time tomorrow." He is completely uncertain about the time now, he doesn't know when he will be delayed by something, and there is no way to reserve accurate time for Xu Guangqi.

Liu Shimin promised that he couldn't keep Xu Guangqi waiting, and needed to arrange a time carefully.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while before putting away the map. He turned to the two letters on the table and took one casually.

I looked at it, and it belonged to Badali. This is the Khan of Horqin, whose title is "Tuchetu". He is the eldest son of Auba and cousin of Hai Lanzhu.

Horqin was besieged by Lindan Khan and was almost destroyed. Nurhachi sent Mangurtai to rescue, so the two clans made an alliance and became "Brothers in the Palm of the Hand".Later, Auba didn't want to be controlled by Houjin, and wanted to get rid of it, but was beaten by Huang Taiji and went to Shenyang to plead guilty in person. Horqin thus became Houjin's subject and was firmly controlled.

Zhu Xu flipped it up and down, and found that the ordinary envelope had a faint fragrance of lotus.

"Is this a beauty trick?"

Suddenly, Zhu Xu whispered, he thought of some legends in history, I am afraid that Huang Taiji has never met this Hai Lanzhu.

Both Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin turned to look at Zhu Xu with thoughtful expressions.

Zhu Xu just muttered, opened the envelope, and took out the letter.

I don't know if it's Badali's handwriting, the beautiful italics, which made Zhu Xu a little jealous.

After scanning ten lines at a glance, Zhu Xu smiled secretly.

Badalite said that "I admire the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and I hope to form a brotherly state, so I will not attack."

Zhu Xu put down the letter, looking a little dazed.

Badali's "accusation" is justified. At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty used Dorgon to instigate Duoduo, Shuotuo and others led troops to escape, and then captured Shenyang, all of a sudden, although for the Ming Dynasty, everything was logical , there is nothing to say.

Strictly speaking, Huang Taiji has already surrendered, and he is the loyal and brave king enshrined by the Ming Dynasty. He cannot be crusaded for no reason. What's more, the imperial court has no explanation for that crusade. In terms of "righteousness", it is untenable .

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing after thinking about it. First of all, he really forgot about this matter, and everyone in Ming Dynasty also forgot about it. Even if someone knew it well, he wouldn't bring it up to spoil the fun of such a major event as the imperial court's restoration of Shenyang.Secondly, Huang Taiji actually came to reason with him.

"I have to make up for it." Zhu Xu said to himself, "Send someone to tell the cabinet to write an article about the process, reasons, righteousness, etc. of the recovery of Shenyang. It must be well-founded and cannot be used against others."

Liu Shimin didn't know what the content of Badali wrote, so he turned sideways and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu put down Badali's letter, picked up Huang Taiji's again, almost unconsciously Zhu Xu sniffed the letter.

"It's kind of like a chrysanthemum..."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, this should be Bumbutai's body fragrance, he looked back and forth, and opened the letter.

Huang Taiji did not mention Shenyang. In the sentence, he hoped to "return to Ming Dynasty" and was willing to "crusade against rebellion" for Ming Dynasty and so on.The words are sincere, neither humble nor overbearing.

After reading it, Zhu Xu read it again, and immediately frowned.

Huang Taiji's letter actually didn't have any content, it was like a letter between relatives, full of greetings, but in fact it was all polite and had no effect except to maintain the relationship.

But Daming and Hou Jin are not relatives, let alone have feelings for each other!

Zhu Xu took both letters and carefully read them several times, but he still couldn't figure out what was hidden in them.
