Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 716 You Hit You, I Hit Mine

Qianqing Palace.

"What do you guys think?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial, looked at Wang Zaijin and Yang Wenyue, and said with a calm expression: "When the situation in the Liao region reversed, Dongjiang Pinglu Qianzhi, Dongjiang Town and other places submitted to Mang Gurtai's troops. Intent, I didn't expect the situation to evolve so quickly.

The Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road under North Korea's jurisdiction can be regarded as being forcibly occupied by the invading Jianlu. Judging from this trend, if Ming Dynasty does not take action, North Korea will inevitably be overthrown.

After all, the army under the command of North Korea is quite different from the brave Jianlu after all. Even though the terrain in North Korea is complicated, Jianlu, as an outsider, may have many disadvantages if he wants to seize North Korea, but The overall situation is fairly clear. "

No matter in any period of time, wars are under constantly changing circumstances, such as regional wars and local conflicts, which are inevitable.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the matter of aiding North Korea should be clarified as soon as possible."

Wang Zaijin stepped forward, saluted and said: "North Korea is adjacent to Liaodong, even though it is said that Mang Gurtai betrayed Huang Taiji and led his elite troops to invade North Korea.

But if Ming chooses to ignore Mangurtai's subordinates, once Mangurtai seizes the entire North Korea, the forces under his command will rapidly expand.

This will have great changes in the pan-Liaodong strategy set by the country, but the scale of aiding North Korea, including the troops sent out, still needs to be discussed carefully. "

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui and the others stepped forward to bow to each other.

The reason why Wang Zaijin and the others clarified their attitude is that the previous military-controlled immigration has been clarified, and the deployment of developing Jeju Island has also been implemented.

At the beginning, Wang Zaijin and Yang Wenyue expressed their views on the layout of North Korea, but Emperor Chongzhen ignored them and chose to call the Military Aircraft Department to plan.

Now the above-mentioned things have begun to advance, and even the first tens of thousands of people have crossed the sea to Jeju Island by boat, and Zhu Yujian has also moved to Jeju Island.

In view of this situation, Wang Zaijin and the others do not hope that the situation in North Korea will be affected by Mangurtai's troops, and there will be major changes.

"Rush to aid North Korea, it must be done."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said, "After all, the country has already launched actions against North Korea's layout, and this cannot be changed.

But how to help and in what form, just like what Wang Qing said, need to be discussed carefully.

I have an idea that Dongjiang can take full responsibility for countering the rebellion in North Korea.

At the same time, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was allowed to expand, and the establishment was tentatively set to 5.

For a period of time to come, when it comes to the troops that North Korea rushes to aid, it is clear that the above-mentioned armies and other armies of the Ming Dynasty will not participate in the rush to aid North Korea. "

"Your Majesty, let the army under the king of Tang expand to 5 people. Do we need to discuss this matter?" Yang Sichang stepped forward and expressed different opinions, "After all, it is not the place to maintain such a large army in Jeju Island." yes……"

"Then ask North Korea to be responsible for the food supply."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "Rushing to the aid of North Korea is what Guochao has to do, but there are some things that Guochao cannot bear alone.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, if the royal family of Joseon is unwilling to bear this burden, then I have to think about whether to rush to aid North Korea. "

Emperor Chongzhen was aware of Yang Sichang's worries.

Compared with food supply, Yang Sichang was most worried about whether Zhu Yujian's subordinates would pose a threat to the central government if they expanded too many troops.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't see it that way.

Under the rule of Jeju Island, although it is said that many industries will be built, only the military industry is explicitly prohibited. If the army under Zhu Yujian wants to expand, he must take real money and buy it in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the food and salaries provided by the Joseon royal family were delivered to Dongjiang Pingluqianzhi, and then transferred to Zhu Yujian's subordinates.

No matter how many troops Zhu Yujian has under his command, as long as these lifelines can be pinched, there will be no situation where the tail is too big to lose.

"By the way, in view of North Korea's special situation, I allow Liaodong, Tianjin, Denglai and other places to provide various types of ordnance, firearms, artillery, etc. to the Korean royal family for a fee."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "North Korea is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty after all, and appropriate preferential treatment must be given. Regarding matters related to this aspect, the Military Aircraft Department should draft a memorial as soon as possible and forward it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In addition, the Military Aircraft Department selected a minister to rush to North Korea urgently, and communicated the clarified matters to the North Korean royal family in the name of the imperial envoy. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone bowed to each other immediately.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Manggurtai led his troops to invade North Korea. This was an opportunity for Ming to make war fortunes. It would be best if this war lasted for several years, so that Ming could continuously obtain wealth.

Ok.

Emperor Chongzhen did not want the chaos in North Korea to end so quickly. He wanted to expand the arms trade that was limited to the Liao region to North Korea.

As long as this battle can be fought, and the Korean royal family does not want to be overthrown by Jianlu, they must use real money to buy all kinds of arms from Ming Dynasty.

How to maintain the regional war in North Korea is the key.

"Wang Banban, draw up a secret decree for Liu Xingzuo, Jin Xuan and the others."

Looking at the back of Wang Zaijin and others leaving, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment, and said: "The regional war on the Korean peninsula has already started, and I have only one request, that the Korean region is not allowed to be taken away by Mangurtai's troops." , How to fight the battle, you can make overall plans according to the situation, including Zhu Yujian's troops, and you will follow your command unconditionally.

However, the war in North Korea cannot be ended in a short period of time. I want to use this regional war to gradually control North Korea and seek power for the Ming Dynasty to move its vassal. Submit to the imperial court for the first time. "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed in response.

The less people can know about matters related to war wealth, the better. After all, this is not a good thing for Daming.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to develop, it needs primitive accumulation, and war is undoubtedly the best. Internal war is not what Emperor Chongzhen wants, so foreign war is the best choice.

In the next three to five years, if Liao and North Korea can help Ming to complete primitive accumulation, then the primitive industrialization process of the northern provinces will surely enter a new stage, and Emperor Chongzhen will have more initiative , to plan the situation faced in that period.
