"Fan'er, I have been troubled by the issue of Jiannu recently. What do you think I should do to eliminate all Jiannu?"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Reporting to your majesty, the slaves are all barbarians. If we want to deal with them, we only need to send a dozen or so academicians from the Hanlin Academy and use them as lobbyists, and the barbarians can be easily dealt with."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
When Chongzhen heard what Lin Fan said, his eyes widened immediately. This...
Isn't Fan'er quite smart?
Moreover, if you are proficient in military strategy, why do you have such unrealistic ideas when it comes to establishing slaves?
Given the ferocity of the Jiannu, not to mention that they would directly kill the Ming Dynasty’s bachelors when they saw them. Even if they didn’t kill them, they wouldn’t be able to be solved by more than a dozen bachelors!
"Hey! Are you shocked when you heard my answer? Do you think I am a fool?"
"Whatever you think, those bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are the leaders of the corrupt scholars of the Donglin Party. Aren't they shouting to save the country?"
“Didn’t they shout that they wanted to eat the Jian slaves alive?
Didn’t he shout that he was willing to die for the thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty?
Just let them die!"
"When Emperor Taizu used force to rule the country, I came to kill corrupt scholars and worship heaven. The court needs civil servants, but there is no need for civil servants to play with power and influence the king's will!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
this……
Chongzhen was shocked by what Lin Fan was thinking. He didn't expect him to have such a big opinion against the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. However, if he thought about it carefully, what Lin Fan said was not unreasonable!
"Fan'er, what you said makes sense. Tomorrow morning, I will send a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy as an envoy to Shengjing, where the slaves were founded."
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Shit! This old guy actually agreed!"
Lin Fan was shocked in his heart.
"Ahem! Fan'er, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Chongzhen coughed twice, looked at Lin Fan and asked, but he was muttering in his heart, when will this kid respect me from the bottom of his heart!
"Ahem! Your Majesty, I don't have any objections. I just suggest that when these academicians go to Shengjing, they can bring an imperial edict of canonization with them!"
Lin Fan coughed twice and said.
"What imperial edict?"
Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty canonizes Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge as the king of the grassland, and gives him the fiefdom of Outer Kalkha. Regardless of whether he accepts it or not, this imperial edict will be given to him."
Lin Fan said.
…
Chongzhen was speechless again. Although Outer Khalkha had always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it was just a tributary state. After the Ming Dynasty's national power weakened, contact with Outer Khalkha was severed.
At this time, an imperial edict was issued to reward Haug from Outer Khalkha and also to canonize Haug as the King of the Grasslands. If this imperial edict was sent out, someone would stab him in the back!
"Fan'er, there seems to be something wrong with the content of this imperial edict!"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, as the eldest son of Huang Taiji, why is it that Hauge is not the one to inherit the throne?"
Lin Fan asked.
"This... because Dorgon controls the troops of the five Jiannu banners, and he and Hauge are enemies, Hauge will naturally not be able to inherit the throne!"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are only half right. The grudge between Dorgon and Hauge is one of them, and the most important thing is that Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, has another
identity."
"What identity?"
Chongzhen asked.
"The biological mother of Fulin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, is Xiaozhuang, and Xiaozhuang's father is Zaisangbuhe, the leader of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia."
"Now, it is the Horqin tribe that really joins the Mongolian prairie. Therefore, the throne finally fell on Fulin. This also illustrates a problem. In fact, Jiannu's own strength is not that strong!"
"For example, Kong Youde and others, although they are now one of the Eight Banners of Jiannu, they were once our soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that most of the troops of Jiannu were dependents."
"With such dependence, there will naturally be no problems if the slave establishment is strong, but once the slave establishment forces weaken, these dependent forces will inevitably rebel."
"As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, this Hauge has nothing to do with the throne. He must be dissatisfied. Then Outer Khalkha has already been in the same camp as them, so why not just give it to Hauge!"
"Whether he accepts the title of Prairie King or not, Hauge will definitely be isolated among the slaves. This will weaken the slaves."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
This is not Lin Fan's nonsense. The information he knows are all historical records of later generations and have been analyzed by some historians and military enthusiasts.
If this information were known to people of this era, they would definitely make the same judgment. Emperor Chongzhen fell into deep thought at this time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Lin Fan said made sense.
"That's right! People from our Ming Dynasty can be absorbed by the Jiannu. Our Ming Dynasty is now strong again, so why can't we instigate them to rebel?
How about letting Jiannu fall apart?"
Chongzhen said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this is only the first step. The second step is for Your Majesty to find a way to contact Kong Youde and tell him to surrender at this time and that you can make him a candidate!"
"Moreover, there is no need to be too cautious with this news. It is best to send the letter once or twice before being caught by the person who sent the message. By then, Jiannu will definitely be suspicious of him and force him to come back."
"Of course, for such a treacherous person, we, the Ming Dynasty, cannot keep him. We only need to trick him back and kill him!"
Lin Fan said again.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were full of surprise. If he did this, he would probably be able to destroy most of Jiannu's power without spending a single soldier!
"Fan'er, you are really a genius. Not only are you good at fighting, you are also very strategic. The only shortcoming is that you don't know how to control people!"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
What he actually meant was that Lin Fan didn't understand the way of an emperor.
As an emperor, you cannot do everything yourself. Many times, you need to rely on your ministers to do it. Lin Fan has completely offended the officials. If he ascends the throne in the future, he may face the embarrassment of having no one to help him.
"Your Majesty taught you this."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Haha! You're trying to teach me a lesson! You have a good way of controlling people, but even if you just give in, you don't understand how to use evil to fight evil!"
"As an emperor, you must first cultivate your own power, and secondly, cultivate a team of greedy people, because only their existence can keep those clean streams clean forever!"
“If there is no evil, how can we make good manifest?
Your superiority wiped out the eunuchs, you are simply stupid to the extreme!"
