Zhong Jinwei still used his invincible killer move to instantly kill anyone who asked similar questions.
In this world, except for Emperor Chongzhen, this trick has no solution for anyone else, and Emperor Chongzhen would never ask such a question.
After Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei's suggestion about sending envoys to Europe, he repeatedly praised it. If there is a mature system that can be used, that would be the best. There are also craftsmen and other things. If they can come to the Ming Dynasty, they can also
Then we will no longer be controlled by those missionaries and those Francois in Macau.
He invited Wen Tiren, the first assistant, Xu Guangqi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and He Ruchong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to discuss the matter. He interviewed Xu Xiake. Once he felt that everything was OK, he immediately started the plan.
The West is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, so it would be better to do this as early as possible. If we have bad relations with the Westerners in the future, we will basically not be able to do this.
Because of Zhong Jinwei's suggestion, the Ming Dynasty suppressed Western religions, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's step-by-step oppression of the West and the eventual all-out war. As a result, several years after Zhong Jinwei's death, he was mythologized in the East, but demonized in the West.
.
The missionaries in the capital were suddenly told without warning that they would be banned from preaching and deported. They were stunned.
They quickly sought help from all the forces they could get, trying to change the emperor's decision. These reactions were within the court's expectations, and things went according to plan.
On the Korean Peninsula, Jianlu was also attacked repeatedly by the elusive Ming army without warning.
Originally, Jianlu did not go into battle to collect grain in person, but instead pressured North Korean officials in major cities to hand over enough grain.
However, the grain collected earlier was robbed by Lu Xiangsheng on the way and could not be transported back to the prisoner's nest in Liaodong.
After the slave chief Huang Taiji sent a message to North Korea's Mang Gurtai, although he was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's shirk of responsibility, he had to intensify his methods of harvesting North Korean food and sent his own troops to accompany the North Korean army to local areas.
Collect food from above.
Once this prisoner is released, there will be no civilized law enforcement!
"Excuse me, how much food does your family have? Can you use it evenly to help us, Daikin, save our lives?"
"According to the agreement between Dajin and North Korea, you should squeeze out some grain as tribute to Dajin. Please abide by it."
"..."
It is impossible to say something like this. They directly supervise the North Korean troops to smash, smash and loot as soon as they arrive at the place. They take away not only food, but also anything of value.
Even women, as long as they like them, they will either deal with them on the spot, or snatch them back and enjoy them. Anyone who dares to object will be killed directly.
Some North Korean troops committed evil acts during this process and took the opportunity to vent the dark side of their hearts.
Of course, there were some North Korean troops who dared not speak out about this. Although they obediently carried out Jianlu's orders, they did not harm their compatriots any more.
Only a small part of the Korean army could not bear this method of dealing with their compatriots and refused to cooperate. These people had no choice but to flee if they were not to be massacred by the rebels.
At the beginning, most people fled to the mountains to become rebels and began to resist Jianlu and the Korean government.
But later, more of these people fled together with the Korean people to various islands controlled by the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge.
Because the North Korean troops who were escorted by Lu Xiangsheng and sent back to North Korea spread the news back to North Korea that the Ming army had defeated the Jianlu captives in a devastating manner.
This news spread from ten to ten, and it exaggerated the strength of the Ming army, making the Korean soldiers and civilians full of confidence in the former suzerain army.
After these North Korean soldiers and civilians fled to the island controlled by the Ming army in Denglai, they also reported all the information about the captives to the Ming army commanders everywhere, and the information was summarized to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai.
Lu Xiangsheng was immediately overjoyed and decided to send troops to attack the Jianlu who had dispersed their strength. At the same time, he could train the army, boost morale, and enhance the prestige of the Ming Dynasty's army.
In the afternoon of that day, three to four hundred Jianlu supervised the North Korean army who had just collected food from various villages and were on their way back to Tieshan.
They didn't realize at all that the Ming army had already been ambushing them on the mountain beside the road ahead, waiting for them for a long time.
Nowadays, the Ming army in North Korea is like a deserted country. Basically, when all Koreans see the Ming army, they feel like a child being bullied by others and seeing their own adults come back.
They used the few remaining grains hidden in their homes to reward the Ming army, risked their lives to spy on the whereabouts of Jianlu, and reported to the Ming army.
Therefore, the eyes and ears of the Ming army can be said to be all over the territory of Korea, as if they have clairvoyance and ears for the wind. But the Jianlu and those Korean troops who were willing to be Jianlu's accomplices were like blind people and deaf, unaware of the situation outside.
The leader of the ambush Ming army, Lu Xiangsheng's Biaoying Commander Zhang Xianzhong, saw the Jianlu and Korean troops entering the ambush circle and immediately ordered an attack.
Bows, arrows, and muskets suddenly came out, knocking down a large number of enemies at once. While the Jianlu and Korean troops were stunned, Zhang Xianzhong took the lead and launched the charge.
This group of people from the peasant army, led by Zhang Xianzhong, rushed to the front. After their pursuit, the imperial court rewarded them, allowing them to taste the sweetness of meritorious service. At the same time, they also understood that the governor did not discriminate against their origins and suppressed them.
Their meaning makes them more brave in battle.
When the North Korean troops saw a large number of Ming troops and people in Korean costumes appearing from all directions, shouting and charging towards them, their legs were weak with fear, and they abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
As for the captives, they were used to being great men in North Korea. They only knew how to enjoy the blessings and lacked a sense of resistance. Who would be willing to risk their lives to fight a battle that is obviously unwinnable if they have blessings to enjoy.
In such a battle, the Ming army was destined to win from the beginning. The result was basically not unexpected. Jianlu who survived a long-range attack usually turned their horses around and ran away desperately.
These captives knew that they could only survive by escaping, so they tried their best to escape. Their bravery was fully demonstrated at this time, and they often allowed them to escape successfully.
At the end of an ambush battle, this is usually the result. Most of the captives escaped, and most of the Korean troops were taken prisoners.
Then the Ming army carried out the order issued by Lu Xiangsheng, disarmed them and threw them to the Koreans, and returned to the island with food and other trophies.
Once, twice, and three times later, Mang Gurtai realized something was wrong. He no longer sent small troops out to collect grain, but shifted more of the pressure to collect grain to the North Korean officials.
The situation in North Korea was becoming more and more chaotic day by day. All this was expected by the slave chief Huang Taiji, but it was also unexpected by him.
