Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 524 The Rise of the Jurchen

Zhu Xiang's face became solemn after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Sir, you are right. The situation on the northeastern border is very sensitive. The invasion of the Jurchens has brought a great threat to the Ming Dynasty. We must find a way to deal with it."

Lin Che said seriously: "That's right. In terms of government affairs, we can strengthen the management of the northeastern border and increase military investment to ensure the tranquility of the border."

"At the same time, we can also strengthen communication with other ethnic minorities, win their support, and jointly deal with the Jurchen invasion."

Zhu Xiang nodded and thought about Lin Che's suggestion: "Sir, your idea makes sense. If we want to ensure the security of the Ming Dynasty's border, we must approach it from multiple aspects and not let down our guard."

Lin Che smiled slightly.

Zhu Ming looked at Lin Che with emotion and said, "Sir, thank you for your contribution to the Ming Dynasty. You are the only gentleman I can respect."

Lin Che said calmly: "You kid still knows what I taught you, so it's not in vain that I taught you so much."

"Don't talk so much, let's get down to business."

Lin Che knocked on the table.

Zhu Xiang frowned slightly when he heard Lin Che's words. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Aren't we using Jurchens in prisons to fight foreigners with barbarians?"

After a pause, he continued: "Are the Jurchens our enemies? Our main goal is how to surrender them."

Lin Che smiled slightly and explained: "Although the Jurchens are our enemies, their dominance in the Northeast is increasing day by day."

Zhu Ming was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Is this reliable?"

Lin Che smiled slightly, took out a secret report from her pocket, and handed it to Zhu Ping. Zhu Ping took the secret report and read it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The secret report details the specific circumstances of the Jurchens sneaking into the Northeast Guard Station. These Jurchens disguised themselves as officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, mixed with the real officers and soldiers, and quietly promoted the rebellion plan.

They coerced, lured, and alienated, and gradually eroded the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xi put down the secret report, looked at Lin Che solemnly, and asked: "This matter is of great importance, how should we deal with it?"

After Lin Che pondered for a moment, she slowly said: "I have learned the specific purpose of the Jurchens, which is to destroy the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"They plan to launch a rebellion in the Northeast first, then expand the scale of the rebellion and unite with other hostile forces to eventually overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

A firm light flashed in Zhu Xi's eyes and he made up his mind: "In this case, we cannot sit still and wait for death. We must take immediate action to eliminate these Jurchen lurkers and surround the security of Ming Dynasty."

Lin Che knew that Zhu Ping had made up his mind. He looked at Zhu Ping seriously and said seriously: "This matter is very dangerous. We need to make a detailed plan and reliable sources of intelligence. I have a candidate who has rich experience. , is very resourceful and can provide us with accurate intelligence.”

Zhu Xi stared at Lin Che closely and asked, "Who are you referring to?"

Lin Che revealed the answer with a smile: "That person is the Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei Qianhu Liu Lin who went with you to conquer the Dan people last time has excellent investigative capabilities and military talents. He can provide us with accurate intelligence, so that We win in action.”

Zhu Ping's heart moved after hearing this, "Can he really do it?"

Lin Che nodded affirmatively and smiled: "His loyalty has long been proven, and he has the same goal as you, Your Highness, which is to protect the Ming Dynasty. I believe he will join without hesitation."

Zhu Ping nodded excitedly: "Sir, we need to take the opportunity to act quickly to attack these Jurchen lurkers."

Lin Che couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Zhu Ping getting into the act.

"Don't tell me, you are quite serious." Lin Che glanced at Zhu Xi, and for those who didn't know, she really thought he was an official.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and talk about something serious."

Lin Che waved her hand to stop his joke with Zhu Xi.

"Have you ever heard a word?"

"There are not even ten thousand Jurchens, but they are invincible."

Zhu Chong had never heard of this and didn't understand what it meant, so Lin Che started to explain.

"This sentence, 'If there are not even ten thousand Jurchens, they will be invincible' comes from a folk song in the Liaodong region of the north."

Zhu Xi nodded with interest, indicating that he understood.

Lin Che continued: "Because of the poor living environment and economic and cultural backwardness, the Jurchens are eager for the introduction of wealth and technology from the outside world, so they have shown a great yearning for culture and commodities from the Central Plains."

Zhu Ping's face showed a thoughtful look, and he seemed to begin to understand the meaning of this sentence.

Lin Che continued to explain: "But the Jurchens also have their own characteristics. Their religious beliefs, living customs and cultural traditions are very different from those in the Central Plains."

"They insisted on their ethnic consciousness and self-esteem and did not want to become vassals of the Central Plains culture. Therefore, the Jurchens rejected all external interference and aggression, including the Manchus from the Liaodong Manchuria region."

Zhu Ping listened with great interest and asked curiously: "Then how do the Manchus achieve 'all invincible'?"

Lin Che answered with a smile: "The Manchus are an important branch of the Jurchens. After exchanges and integration with the Jurchens, they have formed a more powerful nation."

"Through their own efforts, they have built a complete military organization and social system, and often fight against foreign enemies, so they have the saying 'invincible'."

Zhu Xi nodded, finally understanding the meaning.

Lin Che saw Zhu Xi's interest and continued to explain: "In history, the Manchu people have fought many wars with ethnic groups in other regions and defeated many powerful enemies."

"During this process, the Manchus gradually became stronger and became the main ethnic group in Northeast China. Moreover, under the rule of the Manchus, the Jurchens achieved a certain degree of development and prosperity."

Zhu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "So that's it. This sentence means that the Jurchens are a force that cannot be underestimated, and the strength of the Manchus is also supported by their strength and background."

Lin Che nodded in approval and said: "Although the Jurchens' various statements may not be accurate, the truth can only be obtained by obtaining information through legitimate channels and conducting research."

"It's a wise choice for you to be interested in this sentence."

Then Lin Che continued to tell the history of the Manchu people about the Jurchens, while Zhu Xi listened quietly.

As a Ming prince, it is very important to understand the ethnic and regional background.

In this way, we can better rule and protect the people of the world and make the country prosperous.

Time passed quietly during Lin Che's lecture. The conversation between Zhu Ping and Lin Che did not end completely, it was just left at this point for the time being.
