Liaodong seems to be occupied by Jianlu, but in fact, under the calm situation, there are too many undercurrents hidden. The ethnic antagonism alone, using less to defeat more, and squeezing the Liao people is a big powder keg.

Since the fall of Liao in the first year of Tianqi, large areas of left Liao, southern Liao, and western Liao were gradually captured by the Jianlu, which fueled the Jianlu's arrogance.

A large number of Liao people who were unwilling to accept the rule of the Jianlu began to resist, but the results they experienced were without exception, they were all suppressed by the Jianlu with iron blood.

These brutal massacres laid the foundation for Jianlu to use fewer troops to defeat more in Liaodong. The living Liao people were frightened and forced to endure the exploitation and oppression of Jianlu.

If a regional rebel regime with a core ethnic group of no more than one million can disrupt their internal order and affect their aggressive momentum, it is not difficult to win without a fight.

"So now the imperial court is facing many problems?" Liu Xingzuo was sitting on the main seat, looking at Zuo Liangyu, Shen Shikui said: "If this is the case, then we on the Dongjiang Army must do our best.

Do what you can to help the imperial court and your majesty share their worries."

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu's heart suddenly dropped.

It seems that the words he said were not what he wanted to say, but were ordered by the emperor to tell Liu Xingzuo, so that Liu Xingzuo could understand the core position occupied by the Dongjiang Army in Pidao.

existence.

"What Liu Shuai said is absolutely true."

Zuo Liangyu calmed down and said sternly: "When the general came to Dongjiang Town, His Majesty once said that if possible, a team could be sent across the sea to North Korea."

"North Korea?"

Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly, looked at Zuo Liangyu and said: "Under this situation, our Dongjiang Army rushed to North Korea. Is it to occupy some important places?"

"No."

Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty's intention is to allow our Dongjiang Army to use the name of the Ming Dynasty to win over North Korea, a vassal state that was frightened by the Jianlu.

If possible, in the future, Tianjin, Denglai and other places will have certain maritime trade capabilities and can conduct maritime trade with North Korea to meet some of North Korea's needs.

In addition, the food, including iron materials and other materials needed by our Dongjiang Army can be replenished to North Korea nearby, but firearms and artillery need to be provided by the court.

At present, over at Xishan, the Armament Institute established by His Majesty previously has developed several powerful and long-range artillery pieces, which will be distributed to our Dongjiang Army in the future."

Although Korea in the third year of Chongzhen had contact with the Jianlu, it was far from the point where Huang Taiji personally conquered Korea in the ninth year of Chongzhen and severed contact with the Ming Dynasty.

It was also after the Jianlu completely conquered North Korea that they no longer had any worries on the flanks they actually controlled. They even relied on exploiting North Korea to continuously enhance their national strength.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to do this."

Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly and said: "When Jianlu conquered Korea, the bravery he showed frightened everyone in Korea.

Although North Korea still rejected Jianlu's request on some matters, at present, North Korea does not dare to have too much contact with our Ming Dynasty.

"Gene Era"

after all……"

"Liu Shuai, you have misinterpreted the general's meaning."

Zuo Liangyu stretched out his hand and said: "On the matter of North Korea, His Majesty means to take care of it slowly and allow us, Dongjiang Town, to use all available advantages to gradually restore ties with North Korea.

There is no need for North Korea to really listen to the Ming Dynasty and ask them to send troops to provoke the Jianqi. After all, most of the soldiers and horses in North Korea are not as good as the Ming Dynasty's garrison soldiers.

What Your Majesty wants is to realize that through some exchanges of interests, our Dongjiang Army can use North Korea to raid Zhenjiang, Kuandian Forts and other places in the future.

At the same time, exchanges of interest can also help the Ming Dynasty build sea-going ships. A lot of wood in North Korea is suitable for building sea-going ships.

His Majesty also said.

Weakening Jianlu is a long-term process, so we in Dongjiang Town must know how to share some of the pressure, and we must make full use of regional conflicts to launch corresponding plans on how to weaken Jianlu.

Rather than simply harassing Jianlu."

Liu Xingzuo: "..."

Regarding these words from Zuo Liangyu, Liu Xingzuo felt very complicated. First, he cooperated with Tianjin's seagoing fleet to escort a team selected by the emperor to safely land in southern Liaoning. Then Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui

They led their troops to station in Dongjiang Town, and now they have to make corresponding contacts with North Korea, which was frightened by the Jianlu.

One by one, these things were linked together, making Liu Xingzuo feel that the emperor, whom he had never met before, seemed to be plotting a big game against Jianlu.

"If the emperor makes it clear like this, then I will definitely do my best." Liu Xingzuo said seriously: "If we can really win North Korea over, it may play a decisive role in the subsequent suppression of the rebellion."

"The general also thinks so."

Zuo Liangyu said with a smile: "But how to do it specifically? Our Dongjiang Army only needs to send elites. As for the first trip to North Korea, we will wait until Jin Xuan, the counselor of the Military Aircraft Department, rushes to Dongjiang from Tianjin to prepare for the establishment of Dongjiang Pinglu

Counselor Jin will take care of the details.

From now on, regarding the North Korea matter, Liu Shuai and Counselor Kim will have to discuss it in detail. After all, there is still a lot to do in order to accomplish this matter."

Liu Xingzuo nodded and said nothing else.

He is good at marching and fighting.

If he talks nonsense with others, he will be guilty.

Fortunately, the civil servant Jin Xuan was in charge of the North Korean matter. Otherwise, Liu Xingzuo had some doubts about how to do this well.

"By the way, Liu Shuai, there is something else that needs to happen here."

Shen Shikui said at this time: "Before taking office in Dongjiang, His Majesty had decreed that the military training hall on Dongjiang side must be built as soon as possible.

At the beginning, the situation in Liaodong was complicated, and the Dongjiang Army had important responsibilities, so there was some delay in this matter. This is also normal.

This time, the general will lead his troops to Dongjiang, and your Majesty will transfer a group of instructors from the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, as well as corresponding military books."

"Everything must be obeyed!"

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he looked serious and said.

In his exchanges with Zuo Liangyu and Shen Shikui, Liu Xingzuo could clearly feel that the emperor in the capital had absolute trust in him.

Just such trust made Liu Xingzuo very excited, something he had never experienced before.

Although the generals may not accept the order of the emperor, but how many of them can escape from the mouths of civil servants if they really dare to do this?
