Concubine Tian didn't expect it and was a little surprised. However, she came back to her senses immediately, felt a little touched and excited, and immediately walked a few steps quickly, came to Chen Yuanyuan, helped her up, and said happily: "You are
It’s time to finally take a break!”
While speaking, she reached out to wipe away Chen Yuanyuan's tears and said with a smile: "Look, you haven't seen me for two years and one month, why are you crying?"
"Empress, I'm happy!" Chen Yuanyuan didn't move, letting Concubine Tian wipe her tears, and replied with a smile through her tears.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding maids who knew Chen Yuanyuan saluted Chen Yuanyuan with smiles and said, "I have met you, sir!"
When Chen Yuanyuan saw her, she quickly replied: "Sir, I am still your sister Chen!"
Concubine Tian was very happy when she saw this scene. She immediately took Chen Yuanyuan's hand and walked in. At the same time, she said: "You did a really good job, which made us women blush. I heard His Majesty mention it several times.
Say you did a good job! Come on, tell me in detail how you got here in the past two years?"
A group of palace maids surrounded the two of them and followed them in. Everyone listened with their ears pricked up.
Chen Yuanyuan came out from among them. It can be said that she is their role model and their idol.
Today, Chen Yuanyuan is a celebrity in the Ming Dynasty. At least all the women probably know about it.
Duke Zhongzhen Qin Liangyu, deputy political envoy Chen Yuanyuan, and Princess Kunxing, the number one scholar in the special scientific examination of geophysics, these three people can be regarded as equally famous.
Chen Yuanyuan felt very relaxed when she was with Concubine Tian. She chatted with Concubine Tian about everything, just like little sisters who talked about everything.
Concubine Tian is curious about the outside world and her experiences; she knows everything and talks about it;
She was also looking forward to what good songs the palace would harvest from the fairy world in the past two years. At the same time, she also shared her experiences in these aspects with Concubine Tian in the past two years, including incorporating the singing tunes of some southwestern folk songs, etc.
I don't know how long it took before a chamberlain came to convey the order, and the emperor summoned them to let them finish talking.
When he met Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel very emotional when he saw the change in Chen Yuanyuan.
In the past, Chen Yuanyuan was just a weak and weak girl, but now, she has become a qualified female official who behaves well in front of him.
Although Chen Yuanyuan was very grateful to Emperor Chongzhen, she did not lose her composure in front of Concubine Tian and reported to Emperor Chongzhen what she had seen in the past two years. Especially about the Southwest Chieftain, what she saw and thought about, and what Sun Chuanting thought about
She told Emperor Chongzhen everything she was asked to convey.
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied after hearing this, and made an exception to promote Chen Yuanyuan as the first female official. He was not disappointed. It can be said that awakening the power of women in the Ming Dynasty took a big step toward women holding up half the sky; with Chen Yuanyuan as the
Role models, women’s contributions to the Ming Dynasty will definitely become more!
When he was happy, he rewarded Chen Yuanyuan with a palace in the capital, and gave Chen Yuanyuan two false titles, allowing her to receive two more salaries.
Later, Emperor Chongzhen told Chen Yuanyuan: "Please rest in the capital for three days, record a few videos, and then set off for Shanhaiguan. You will have to work hard for a while!"
Chen Yuanyuan was sent to the capital and was unable to record videos. Liu Weichao said that many of Chen Yuanyuan's fans were very disappointed. His popularity in videos has dropped a lot.
Emperor Chongzhen remembered this, and now that Chen Yuanyuan was back, he naturally wanted to send a video to Liu Weichao.
"Wei Chen accepts the order!" Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan replied without hesitation, "Wei Chen is the happiest person to serve His Majesty!"
It was a little different from the answers given by other ministers. It did not say anything about going up mountains of swords or falling into seas of fire, nor did it say anything about working hard. Chen Yuanyuan's answer made Emperor Chongzhen feel very comfortable, and he felt even more happy, so he immediately ordered Chen Yuanyuan
Go and have a rest quickly and shoot the video tomorrow.
In fact, at this time, it was already getting late. The lights in the Wenhua Hall were already on.
However, although Chen Yuanyuan went to rest, Emperor Chongzhen was still dealing with government affairs, and he was thinking about things in the southwest.
After thinking about the news brought back by Chen Yuanyuan and the memorials Sun Chuanting had been sending him, he finally initiated a video communication request to Liu Weichao.
Liu Weichao's side was quickly connected. It was very obvious that the lights on Liu Weichao's side were still much brighter than his. This also reminded Emperor Chongzhen that the technology on his side was still very backward, and he still needed to vigorously develop technology.
OK.
But when he opened his mouth, he first said to Liu Weichao: "Chen Yuanyuan has returned to Beijing. I asked her to record some videos from tomorrow, and then send her to Shanhaiguan to Duqing's side three days later!"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he was overjoyed and said very happily: "Chen Yuanyuan is finally back. This is really great!"
A large part of the traffic of his online store comes from the release of videos. Although Princess Arita has always provided them, Chen Yuanyuan is the mainstay and the most popular. I haven't seen Chen Yuanyuan in the past two years, and his videos have been imitated again.
, imitating his ancient style, the growth of fans has obviously slowed down.
Now that Chen Yuanyuan is back, he believes that he will definitely gain another wave of fans and activate those dead fans.
He is even considering asking Chen Yuanyuan to advertise his online store.
Emperor Chongzhen knew that Liu Weichao would be very happy when he heard the news, and now that he saw it, he was also happy as expected.
Because Liu Wei is so good, he is good!
Then, he started to talk business to Liu Weichao: "Over there in the southwest, I'm wondering if it's time to speed up a bit!"
In the past, Liu Weichao concluded that one of the reasons for his failure in governing national affairs in the past was that he was impatient and eager for success, such as urging the front line to fight quickly, which led to a huge defeat on the front line.
Therefore, although he now has ideas in his mind, he still wants to see what Liu Weichao thinks.
Liu Weichao often listened to Emperor Chongzhen telling him about political affairs, so he had a basic understanding of the affairs of the Chongzhen Dynasty. When he heard what he said, he immediately asked: "Is it because we need to concentrate our forces to deal with the coalition forces of Jianlu and Japan?
"
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded and said: "Now that the Japanese have begun to set foot in North Korea, I estimate that there will probably be a war in at least two years. Just relying on the current military strength in Gyeonggi and Shanhaiguan
I'm afraid the troops are not enough. Moreover, once the war breaks out, Liaodong will definitely be recovered, North Korea will be occupied, and Japan will send troops. The number of troops required is not small. I don't think it is good to delay the war in the southwest any longer!
"
Liu Weichao nodded after hearing this. Once the war breaks out in the Northeast, a lot of troops will definitely be needed, not just a few to defeat the invading enemies.
Seeing him nodding, Emperor Chongzhen immediately continued: "But according to the news given to me by Sun Chuanting, according to the previous deployment, if we work steadily, it may take more than two years. The other one is that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court have really tried their best.
, but they are not accustomed to the climate, and the number of non-combat casualties is still relatively large!"
Hearing this, Liu Weichao didn't think much and immediately suggested: "Hasn't it already occupied most of Guizhou? You can ask Sun Chuanting to form a new army with local people as the source of troops. Anyway, one of the characteristics of the firearms army is
Form an army soon! Besides, in the future, if we continue to expand our territory and expand our territory to the Indian Ocean, we also need an army that can adapt to the climate there. We can just form it this time."
Most of the troops under Sun Chuanting were from the Central Plains, mostly from Qin, Henan, and Hebei. It is easy to understand that they are not adapted to the climate of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Dongwu (Myanmar).
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I definitely can't spare Dongwu, so I have to make preparations."
Dongwu took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's weakness to send troops to invade the Yunnan border.
Originally, Daming's side fought back and gave Dongwu a severe lesson.
However, the three great conquests of Wanli consumed the financial and military resources of the imperial court, so that when the Jianlu were rising, they had to mobilize troops from all over the country to conquer the Jianlu.
Liu Ting, who was powerful in Dongwu at that time, was transferred away and died in the Battle of Sarhu.
On Dongwu's side, he took the opportunity to invade the Yunnan border and occupied Mubang and several other state capitals, which are still in Dongwu's hands today.
Since Emperor Chongzhen wants to be the master of ZTE, if he doesn't get back these lost territories, then he will not be the master of ZTE!
Not only did he want to get it back, but he also wanted to destroy Dongwu and expand Ming Dynasty's southwest territory to the Indian Ocean. With a new outlet to the sea, he could extend his power closer to the Middle East.
This plan was discussed by him and Liu Weichao, and it is something that will definitely be done in the future.
At this time, after listening to Liu Weichao's reminder, Emperor Chongzhen naturally agreed: "That King of Shu is so disrespectful to me. He only contributed a little money during the last chaos in Shu. When he saw Zuo Liangyu's
If the rebels are destroyed, they will not pay for it. So let him pay for all the money and food to build the new army this time, otherwise, I will take care of him!"
Although he is rich now, the King of Shu is rich in the world, and he has long been thinking about that money. Sun Chuanting will form a new army here, and he will pay for it; but at the same time, he also wants Ma Shiying in Shu to
They also formed a new army together. He didn't want to pay for the money there, so he asked the King of Shu to pay for it.
At this time, he was considered a person who had died once, and had long since put aside the dignity of relatives. If you don't give me face, I will give you face, that's the idea.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether you’re used to rolling down wool or not.
Liu Weichao didn't mind at all that he was focusing on the King of Shu. According to what was said before, these kings would all be kicked overseas. They couldn't be allowed to take their wealth out of China!
