The next day, the 29th of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Chongzhen received good news from Du Yinxi, the governor of Jiliao.
After hearing this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly sent a video communication request to Liu Weichao.
As soon as the connection was connected, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to say to Liu Weichao: "I just received the news that the slave chief Taiji is dead!"
This Huang Taiji is definitely a capable person among the slave chiefs, much more powerful than the wild boar Pinurhaci. If he were not so powerful, the internal fighting among Jianlu would probably make Jianlu's internal conflict even worse, and he would not be able to unite other tribesmen.
, which caused great trouble to the court.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was not too surprised. He immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen: "In the original history, he also died this year. Although there is a butterfly effect on physical illness, it is impossible.
A lot has changed, so it’s not surprising that he died!”
After a pause, he smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Actually, with your current strength, in every aspect, you will be stronger than Jianlu. You can block them in Liaodong for a few years and prevent them from getting supplies.
The supply of population will make the gap between your strengths even wider!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it made sense. He had already won two real great victories against Jianlu, which severely injured Jianlu. He also drove Jianlu back to the hinterland of Liaodong. Compared with before, his strength was
Obviously different.
Thinking this way, his excitement was much lessened, and he responded to Liu Weichao's words with a smile: "You are right, things are different now. It seems that I have to adapt to my current strength!"
Liu Weichao laughed as soon as he heard this. The situation of Emperor Chongzhen was just like the protagonist in a fantasy novel. He got his golden finger, and then his strength increased by leaps and bounds. Instead of cultivating it step by step by himself, the speed was too fast.
The body has not yet adapted to the sudden increase in strength, and needs to stabilize its state to adapt to the new strength.
Here, Emperor Chongzhen continued to tell Liu Weichao: "By the way, it's really strange to say that the six-year-old Fulin of Jianlu is still their pseudo-emperor, and the smart Dorgon is still the regent.
.The difference from the history you mentioned is that this time he was the regent alone and took over all the power from the beginning, instead of being the regent together with Jilharang."
"Oh?" Liu Weichao was a little surprised after hearing this, but then he didn't care, and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "We often have a saying here, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and the butterfly effect changes. It is impossible to stop the history at once.
The wheel will only deflect the wheel of history, causing it to slowly deviate from its original track."
The former Emperor Chongzhen might not understand this sentence, but he had already invented the steam train, so he naturally understood what it meant, and responded with a smile: "Then I must use more force to pull this historical car astray.
More!"
For example, originally, he would hang himself on a coal mountain soon after the New Year, but now it seems that this is absolutely impossible.
Just this alone makes him so happy!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt very strongly about Liu Weichao. If it weren't for Liu Weichao, by this time, Jianlu would have captured all the places except Shanhaiguan, including Ningyuan and other places.
But in Guan, the rogue Li Zicheng won the war in the Central Plains, occupied the land of Qin, and proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Chuanting was dead, Sun Yingyuan was dead, Zuo Liangyu was too powerful to obey, and he was still a very poor emperor.
, facing the situation of chaos in the world, there is no way...
Thinking of all this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said to Liu Weichao in a very sincere tone: "Thank you!"
When Liu Weichao suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment. How could it be that suddenly, the mighty Ming Emperor, who was already in his thirties, looked like he was about to cry?
But then, he understood, and changed his serious expression, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Then I have to thank you for allowing me to achieve financial freedom! I can do what I want to do and pursue what I like.
woman!"
Upon hearing what he said, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and said with emotion: "That's true of you. The two of you have to fall in love with each other first, and then talk about marriage. How can we do it directly?
The arrangements have been made first, and it’s just a good match.”
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless and asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Do you know what love is?"
"What is love? Can it be eaten?" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen asked Liu Weichao, "Women are not as important as the country and the country!"
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless after hearing this. He suddenly forgot that the person in front of him was the emperor. If the emperor fell in love like ordinary people, the people of the world would probably be unlucky.
Of course, nothing is absolute. If you become the emperor, you will face the relationship between the women of the world and the country...
Just when he was about to get lost in his thoughts, he heard Emperor Chongzhen ask him: "By the way, it's time for you and that so-and-so to talk about getting married? The Chinese New Year will soon be over, and you will be one year older!"
"It can't be that fast. She won't graduate until the middle of next year!" After hearing this, Liu Weichao replied with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
When he said this, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is!
But then I thought that I might change this sentence to: I am not in a hurry, the emperor is!
Thinking like this, Liu Weichao found it a bit funny and didn't want to continue this topic, so he reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "By the way, that Dorgon has more power as regent than in the original history, so you can't be careless!
"
As soon as he heard what he said about business, Emperor Chongzhen immediately put his marriage aside, nodded and said: "I know this, and I will not underestimate him. I will personally take care of the things to be done next year, rebuilding Dongjiang Town, and I will definitely pay attention to it.
!”
Liu Wei knew this matter supernaturally. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "Well, rebuild Dongjiang Town, attack Jianlu from both sides, immobilize Jianlu, and then divide and disintegrate or eliminate Jianlu's Mongolian allies. Wait until you finish it."
Once inside the pass, we can easily destroy Jianlu."
Emperor Chongzhen listened and nodded in agreement. Then, after chatting for a while, he hung up the video communication.
However, he did not deal with the matter immediately, but quietly thought about it by himself.
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, which is now considered to be over, the Jianlu were conquered at the front line of Songjin, Ningyuan was victorious, and the Jianlu were driven back to Haizhou.
By the way, 20,000 Jianlu cavalry were wiped out, and another slave chief, Aisin Gioro Azige, was captured and cut into pieces with a thousand swords;
In addition, senior generals of Jianlu also began to surrender, which indicated that Jianlu no longer had the same mentality as before towards the imperial court.
According to Liu Weichao, the strategic situation between the imperial court and Jianlu has changed. Although it is now a stalemate on the surface, in fact, the imperial court has many advantages.
By next year, if it is possible to rebuild Dongjiang Town, and send the Jianlu to break up the alliance between the Mongolian tribes in the grassland and Jianlu, I believe that Jianlu can rest assured. Not to mention that it will be easy to regain Liaodong, at least it can be guaranteed
Jianlu will no longer have the opportunity to harm the pass.
In this way, the pressure on the court from the two-front war was reduced to a minimum.
Next, it’s the Guan Nei side.
In the past year, Du Yinxi was sent to reorganize the Qin army. Of course, he only eliminated the weak and retained the strong, but not all the troops had completed the change of equipment. The main reason was that the production of ordnance and armor could not keep up.
In addition, the governor of Sichuan has been replaced by Lu Daqi, and he is also rectifying Sichuan's military equipment. In an emergency, it is no problem for Shu people to govern Shu, but next year, it will be better to replace officials from other places. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and factory guards will also have to be sent
Go to Sichuan for inspection to prevent cliques and selfish interests from forming in Shu.
In the past year, Zuo Liangyu, the scumbag in the army, was also eliminated, which was regarded as a major accomplishment and the military discipline in the country was rectified.
Haha, this guy actually dares to "defy the emperor", he really has to die!
In addition, we have made great achievements this year in dealing with the rebels. Not only did we recruit the Fifth Gezuo Battalion, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo, but we also continued to drive the rebels south, so that the north could recuperate and there would be no more wars.
Now Sun Chuanting has led his troops to occupy most of Huguang. This is a land of plenty. Let’s see if the next decree comes after the year and let Sun Chuanting launch a spring offensive. It is best to drive the bandits out of Huguang before spring plowing, so that Huguang’s grain production
If you go out, you can support Sun Chuanting's troops, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the court in terms of food and supplies.
In this way, there would be no pressure on Jiangnan to purchase the grain and grass supplies for the Yamen and transfer them to rebuild Dongjiang Town.
In the past year, Fengyang Mansion's experience in rectifying the place shows that it really requires the military and factory guards, what Liu Weichao calls violent institutions, to guard the place.
If we just rely on the local yamen to rectify the situation, it will be useless. Next year we will see how the rectification in Yingtian Mansion goes. This is the key to local rectification.
As long as this hard nut is broken, the rest will not be a concern.
According to the report from Jiangnan, there was an unexpected surprise in the process of rectifying the place. It was the propaganda from the Political and Communications Department. Although the feedback from the people was not very good, it was unexpected that the morale of the army would be improved due to the spread of the song.
The song has been greatly improved.
According to what Ma Shiying said in his secret memorial, the spiritual outlook of the imperial army has changed greatly.
This is not bad. In this way, it will not only make the army more effective in the subsequent suppression of bandits and captives, but will also benefit future foreign wars.
Thinking about these achievements and future plans, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied.
Then, he was thinking about other important things in his mind.
