The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 209 Destroying the Wolf
When Liang Xiuyan left the big tent tremblingly, Zhang Jiayu hurriedly asked Zhu Linming, "Your Excellency, do you want to send armaments and supplies to the Tatars?"

"That's right." Zhu Lin didn't hide it from him.

Zhang Jiayu then bowed solemnly and said: "My lord, that Teng... oh, Teng Jisi is currently fighting with Jiannu, and giving him weapons and other things is indeed effective in driving away wolves and tigers. However, the tribes in Mobei, no matter Tatar, Wala is still Houjin, and even Khalkha in the north has been in constant dispute with my Ming Dynasty, and has never been in harmony for hundreds of years.

"Your Excellency's move, or..." He hesitated for a while, but still said, "Maybe there may be worries about raising tigers."

Knowing that he was thinking of Daming, Zhu Linmei nodded and said, "I have heard that 'an enemy's enemy is a friend'. Jianlu is our biggest and most threatening enemy at present. If Teng Jisi is against him, that is Our friends. At least temporarily.

"Give him some weapons and let his clansmen sacrifice their lives for us to kill captives. This is a sure-fire business.

"If I remember correctly, Teng Jisi only owns tens of thousands of households in the Left Banner of the Sunite tribe, and there are a large number of other Mongolian tribes around him, intending to annex him at any time.

"Even if he is able to repel Dodo, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced after the war. If he wants to keep his Sunit department independent, he can only rely on our support.

"At that time, if Teng Jisi is useful, he can even become a nail in our way into Mobei.

"As for those bows, crossbows and armor, it's useless to keep them. But with these weapons, the Mongols can spend more time with Jianlu."

The Mongols have never been good at smelting iron, but they are more proficient in riding and archery than the Manchus. They can get well-made clear bows, swords and armor, which can almost double their combat effectiveness.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.Zhang Jiayu nodded thoughtfully, but then frowned and said, "Your Excellency also mentioned before that Jianlu will shrink his troops to fight me with all his strength. If these military supplies are in the hands of Teng Jisi, the Manchus will fight against me." If he says peace and stop fighting, don't we draw water from bamboo baskets?"

Zhu Linmei smiled slightly, "This is the most important thing. In fact, I also included a 'gift' in the supplies I sent to the Tatars. As long as the 'gift' goes outside the Great Wall, the Qing court will negotiate with Teng Jisi Into the trend of immortality.

"And I predict that Teng Jisi will be very happy to accept this great gift."

"Oh?" Zhang Jiayu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is this?"

"Azig."

"Azig?" Zhang Jiayu was shocked, "You want to give Azig to the Tatars?!"

"That's right, and it's a living Azig."

While they were talking, another person came into the tent to salute, it was Gu Yanwu, holding a wooden box about a foot long in his hand.

"Your Highness, Azig's guard confessed that there was a hidden compartment on the table in his tent, and his subordinates searched for extremely important things from it."

"Oh?" Zhu Linmei looked at him and said, "What is extremely important?" This time, everyone has gained something from defeating the main army of Jianlu, and each one is more amazing than the other.

Gu Yanwu glanced at Zhang Jiayu and Shi Lin, hesitant to say something, "Your Highness, this thing has a very important relationship."

Seeing this, Shi Lin and Zhang Jiayu were about to resign, but Zhu Linmi stopped them both, and turned to Gu Yanwu and said, "They're all our own, but it's okay to say."

Gu Yanwu had no choice but to open the wooden box and hand it over to Zhu Linmi, "Your Highness, these... are all letters from court and Chinese officials who secretly exchanged money with Jianlu and expressed their welcome."

Zhu Linmei and the others looked at the half-foot-thick letters in the wooden box with icy faces.There are so many letters, there are more than a few hundred at least, and it is afraid that nearly half of the officials in the DPRK and China have colluded with the enemy!

Gu Yanwu glanced at Chen Wang's expression, took a step closer and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Master Gu, please tell me."

"Your Highness, these letters involve a lot. Although my subordinates have not dismantled them, it is expected that there may be important officials in the court." Gu Yanwu raised his hands, "This subordinate believes that His Highness should follow Meng De's actions in Guandu..." He Glancing at the wooden box, "Burn it to the torch."

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's military strength was several times that of Cao Cao's, so a large number of Xudu officials secretly wrote letters to Yuan's surrender.After Cao Cao burned Wuchao and defeated Yuan Jun, he copied a large number of letters from Yuan Shao's camp, but in order to win people's hearts and keep Xudu safe, he burned all these surrender lists in public.Seeing this, the officials who communicated with Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. They were grateful to Cao Cao, and they have never been loyal to the Cao family since then.

At this time, Gu Yanwu suggested that Zhu Linmi do the same, which can not only maintain the stability of Fujing officials to the greatest extent, but also buy people's hearts.

"The minister of the pillars?" Zhu Linmi grabbed a stack of letters and said angrily, "How can my Ming Dynasty be such a pillar?! He was originally a pillar, and he was also a beam with a core that was eaten away! With these people, how can there be such a pillar of our Ming Dynasty?" The principle of indestructibility?!"

"Cao Cao?" He sneered, "He dare not make an enemy of these rotten beams, I dare! He is willing to use these rotten logs, but I want to replace them one by one!
"I want these guys to know that the imperial court can't rub the sand in their eyes! When a strong enemy comes to attack, they secretly defeat the enemy, and hurriedly find a way out for themselves, but they don't see those loyal and loyal people who are throwing their heads and blood for the country!

Since they don't want to live and die with the country, the country doesn't need to keep these white-eyed wolves anymore!Settle accounts after autumn, don't even think about running away! "

"However..." Gu Yanwu had a worried look on his face, and said: "Your Highness, the country is in ruins, and powerful enemies are around. If so many officials are punished at once, it may cause instability in the court and give the captives a chance."

Zhu Linmei still said in a cold voice: "I will never hand over these letters to the imperial court. As long as there are these letters, I will deal with them one by one according to the plan, and it will definitely not cause major turmoil."

He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Tianxing Mansion, "There is nothing else in the world of Daming, but there is never a shortage of people who are willing to be officials.

"Take down these scum who are collaborating with the enemy, and make room for capable people to live in. I'm afraid there will be a lot of people applauding, stretching their necks and waiting for someone to fall, and maybe it will bring about a positive situation."

Gu Yanwu wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it, he finally bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhu Linmi flipped through the wooden box, but inadvertently saw a familiar name in it. He immediately took out the letter and opened it, quickly browsed through it, and then handed it to Zhang Jiayu, "When Lin Yuji was about to leave Xianxia Pass, I felt a No, it turns out that he really has a problem. Judging from the date of this letter, Jianlu has just entered Fujing not long ago."

He instructed Shi Lin again: "In this case, you don't have to worry about his status as a courtier, and torture me severely, what is he doing after leaving Xianxia Pass?"

"Yes!" Shi Lin immediately saluted and left.

In less than an hour, Shi Lin returned and saluted Zhu Linmi: "My lord, the one surnamed Lin has all recruited."

　Thanks for standing on the coffin and firing a cannon for my generous reward, and I am very grateful to my brother for his consistent support. I will do my best to write this book well!
