As soon as Zheng Chenggong said this, many people stood up to express their agreement.
They all felt that Ming Dynasty should not attack Hunan now!
However, Li Guangyuan stood up and expressed his opposition.
"The general disagrees with what the prince said!"
"Now Wu Sangui is flying the banner of the Qing court!"
"And after the Jiashen disaster, the main reason why the Qing army entered the pass was because the traitor Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing captives and let Shanhaiguan go!"
"Later on, Wu Sangui, a traitor, tried his best to help the Qing court to pacify the world, and everyone in the southwest and northwest fell under his iron hoof and saber and surrendered to the Qing court."
"The capture and humiliation of Emperor Yongli back then was all his own fault!"
"It can even be said that Wu Sangui, the traitor, is one of the main reasons for the decline of our Ming Dynasty!"
"I want to restore the Ming Dynasty, avenge the past emperors, and conquer Wu Sangui. No one in the world can say even a single typo!"
Li Guangyuan's attitude was that no matter what his position was, as long as Wu Sangui still held the banner of "Qingzi", I, the Ming Dynasty, could justifiably beat him.
Zheng Chenggong frowned and said.
"You can't say that!"
"Although Wu Sangui is currently fighting for the Qing Dynasty, he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."
"The relationship with Qinglu is incompatible!"
"From a standpoint, Daming and Wu Sangui should stand together!"
"Both the Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui were fighting against the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty and Wu Sangui fight now, the anti-Qing forces will be consumed internally."
"When the Qing court finds out, they will probably laugh to death!"
"..."
Two waves of people with different opinions were constantly arguing.
Zhu Hongyu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, but he was thinking about whether this matter was feasible or not.
After a long time, Zhu Hongyu finally stood up and said.
"alright!"
"There's no need to argue, the Secretariat is ready to pass the order!"
Wang Ruxian stood up, holding a small book in his hand, preparing to record Zhu Honghongyu's order, and then publish it after the meeting was over.
Zhu Hongyu looked around, and after everyone calmed down, he spoke.
"First, strengthen the defense of Jiujiang and continue to transport the money, food and equipment needed for the front-line battle in Jiujiang."
"Be ready to go up the river at any time!"
"But the fight won't be big, or when to fight, wait for the order!"
Zhu Hongyu's meaning was very clear. If Wu Sangui's war in Guanzhong completely collapsed, the main force of Guan Ning's army would be wiped out or suffer heavy losses.
Then fight!
The Ming army moved up the river and captured Hunan, seizing the strategic initiative.
If Wu Sangui wins the Battle of Guanzhong or loses, but his strength is not compromised, then there will be no fight!
All kinds of military supplies shipped to Jiujiang are considered to be stored in advance!
"Second, the staff left and started preparing to smash a few nails in Jiangbei!"
"If the Qing army goes south, these nails will hit them hard!"
Zhu Hongyu took a deep breath and then continued.
"Third, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing to send an envoy to North Korea!"
"After talking to the North Korean royal family, they said that the Ming Dynasty would use North Korea's Dandong and Jeju Island garrisons to open up the Liaodong anti-captive battlefield."
Passive defense has never been Zhu Hongyu's style.
Since the Bohai Rim Plan has proven that the Ming army can land directly from Tianjin Wei, the plan of smashing nails in Tianjin will not work.
Then move farther away and raise your field of view!
Wouldn’t it be enough to focus on the front line between Liaodong and North Korea?
Manchu and Qing fight against Manchu and Qing, and Ming against Ming!
As long as the Manchus dared to mobilize their troops to march south, the Ming Dynasty could launch an attack from Dandong to southern Liaoning, and even further threaten Liaodong and even Shenyang.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid North Korea won't agree!"
Zhang Huangyan said.
Zhu Hongyu just sneered and said.
"No, North Korea will agree!"
"North Korea, as the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty, will never refuse the request of the Ming Dynasty!"
"If North Korea refuses, it will be an apology for the Ming Dynasty's two hundred years of kindness and the Ming Dynasty Wanli's great kindness to aid Korea and reshape the country for North Korea. There is no need to talk about a country without conquests!"
"My Ming Dynasty will send out troops to defeat it!"
In the short term, Zhu Hongyu was unwilling to launch a large-scale war in order to develop people's livelihood and rectify internal affairs.
However, it is well known that North Korea's military force has always been weak.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack North Korea, it was basically a simple matter that could be easily solved by sending a few thousand men. There was no need to mobilize any major troops at all.
Naturally, it cannot be called a large-scale battle, and it will not have much impact on the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
Besides, attacking North Korea will make you rich!
If the Ming Dynasty really launched troops against North Korea, not to mention the gains during the war, when the war was over, Zhu Hongyu would definitely arrange a package of land cession and compensation for North Korea.
Actually, Zhu Hongyu still has a good impression of North Korea.
Although at the end of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea turned its back on the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and sent troops to follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the pass to fight, adding to the difficulties of the Ming Dynasty.
But there's really nothing to say about this.
After all, North Korea was not voluntary. They were killed in the capital twice by the Manchus and the king was captured. What else could they do if they did not surrender?
Seeing that their own Ming father could not defeat the Manchus, what else could they do if they did not surrender?
There is also a large group of traitors in Ming Dynasty who are greedy for life and afraid of death!
Can you still expect everyone in North Korea to die for the Ming Dynasty?
Isn't that nonsense?
In fact, from later to the end of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea still insisted on using the Chongzhen chronology instead of the Qing Dynasty's reign name.
And among the people, the Qing Dynasty was also often called Beibei!
We can know that North Korea was not convinced by the Manchus.
Full of nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty!
As a vassal state, it is enough for North Korea to achieve this level.
He is worthy of the treatment given to North Korea by the Ming Dynasty as his own son!
It's better than the Annamite monkeys, Burmese bastards, and the like.
As for the future generations, Nanbang betrayed Tianchao's father, accepted the thief as his father, and accepted Yingjiang as his stepfather...
That’s nothing to say!
What else can you expect from a country that doesn’t even have the right to independently command its military, and from a colony whose capital is right next to the Eagle Sauce Military Base?
However, although Zhu Hongyu has some favorable impressions of North Korea, this does not prevent him from attacking North Korea, right?
In the face of national interests, what does a little goodwill mean?
If North Korea refused to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in fighting the Manchus, then Zhu Hongyu would have no choice but to say sorry to North Korea!
Dad Ming will use a small leather whip to let his filial son North Korea know that your dad is still your dad!
Do you dare to refuse your father's request?
I'll open up my butt for you!
After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists to accept the order and agreed.
Zhu Hongyu then spoke.
"The general staff will immediately prepare for the construction of city defenses in Dandong City and Jeju Island."
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to break the situation in North Korea, it would not be wrong to prepare in advance to build city defenses.
Blindly defending a fortified city won't work, but if soldiers want to gain a foothold, it is quite necessary to build a fortified city.
Their eyes met one after another, and everyone agreed again.
