The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 657 Bridal Chamber Anniversary. Part 3000 ([-] chapters)
Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, there are still [-] to [-] captives fighting against Wangdutang near Hanzhong, while Yangzhou has a sudden increase of [-] soldiers and horses. These people must be drawn by Dorgon from all over Jiangbei."

Zhu Linmei nodded and said, "According to Beizhen Zoubao, the additional Qing troops came from Shanxi, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, and there are also two yellow flags from captives who were originally entrenched near Beijing."

At this point, he and Zhang Jiayu looked at each other, with a smile on his face, "I understand what Yuanzi means. These must be the last property of Jianlu. Except for the unmoved Qing army in Henan, the defenses in other places must be empty! "

Zhang Jiayu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty sees it clearly. Our navy can attack Tianjin, Jinzhou, Liaoning and other places like last autumn, and the captives will be rescued by dividing troops, disrupting Duoduo's forward deployment."

"This plan is feasible." Zhu Linmei looked at the map, but said, "But I need to be more courageous, such as revitalizing my Dongjiang Town!"

Before the Chongzhen Dynasty, Dongjiang Town referred to the Northeast Dajun Town in the east of the Liaohe River, including the islands of the Bohai Sea, Lushun Fort, Kuandian Fort, Tieshan, Changcheng and other large areas.

After Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the scope of Dongjiang Town gradually narrowed to the islands east of Lushunkou, such as Shenmi Island, Guanglu Island, Shicheng Island, Zhangzi Island, and Lu Island, centered on Phi Island.

Although the scope of Dongjiang Town has become smaller, the Ming army stationed on the island has been relying on warships to attack Huifa, Yaozhou, Anshanyi, Sarhu and other places behind Jianlu.However, due to the unfavorable support of the Ming court and the frequent mutiny on the island, there was no particularly remarkable record in the harassment of Jianlu.

The Qing army, which was not good at water warfare, did not break through Phi Island until the tenth year of Chongzhen with the help of the Korean navy conquered by them, and Shen Shikui, the governor of Dongjiang Town, died for his country.

However, Huang Taiji, who had no interest in these "desert islands", handed over islands such as Phi Island to North Korea, and then ordered the Qing army to return home.

In the former North Korean Li Ying rebellion, in order to ask Daming for support, he mentioned that he would help rebuild the Ming army camp on Phi Island.Right now, the Daming Navy has no opponents at all in the East China Sea, and the number of troops it can deploy has increased a lot compared to last year. It is time to take this opportunity to restore Daming Dongjiang Town, and normalize the harassment of the Jianlu rear.

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, if you want to station troops and horses in Phi Island, you have to transport food and grass from Zhejiang to Zizhongnan, which will cost a lot..."

Zhu Lin smiled and waved her hands, "Don't worry, I'll leave these to the North Koreans." He has already planned that in the future, Li Ying will send the food every one, three, and five months, and Li Ying will send the food every two, four, and six months. Both of them waited impatiently for the suzerain of the Ming Dynasty to approve their identity, and they definitely did not dare to shirk.

Zhang Jiayu and the others saw that he seemed to have a plan in mind, and they were all happy and said: "If Dongjiang Town can be reset, the captives will be unable to take care of both the head and the tail, and they will be in a mess!"

Daming now has a professional "amphibious combat force" - naval infantry, and its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of Huang Long, Shen Shikui and others in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Zhu Linmei then ordered: "The navy will transfer the warships of the Qiantang River and the Marine Police Fleet, ah, there is no need to send too many main Galen warships, a few hard sailing ships with thousands of materials are enough. All the infantry of the navy will go. Phi Island. Order to send [-] soldiers from the Zhongzhen Battalion to the island to take charge of the defense of the camp."

The newly-built naval infantry has less than 2000 troops for the time being, and it must be enough to attack Liaodong. Pidao still needs troops to defend.And draw people from the Loyalty Battalion, which serves as an overseas garrison, to Phi Island. After the naval infantry is full, they can just be stationed in North Korea.

Zheng Chenggong is now in the navy camp in Chongming, and Zhang Jiayu, who is the Minister of War, saluted and replied: "Yes! The last general will be a naval officer later."

Zhu Linming continued: "In addition to Phi Island, there are two places in Shandong and Shanxi that can be done."

Zhang Jiayu was very surprised when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, General Xie Qian in Shandong is quite familiar with it, and there will be a lot of people who send him back to Lu, but in Shanxi, it is calm now, I don't know..."

"Jiang Xiang." Zhu Linming whispered out a name.

"Jianlu Xuanhua, Datong and other town commanders?" Zhang Jiayu pondered, "I have never heard that this person has any intention of doing anything wrong."

"There will be soon. We can help him get wood now."

Zhu Linmei clearly remembered that in history, Jiang Xiang was dissatisfied with the Qing court's suspicion of him, and sent Manchu officers to evade his military power.

Since the Manchu Qing was fighting the Ming army in the Huguang area at that time, they needed a lot of food and grass, so they levied additional food and salaries in Shanxi and other places, which caused complaints from the people.So after Jiang Xing's rebellion, responders gathered from all over Shanxi, and Dorgon sent Boluo, Shuo Sai, Man Dahai, Azig and other generals to "put down the rebellion". Got off Datong City.After the city was destroyed, Jianlu slaughtered Datong and nearby prefectures and counties, which was called "the massacre of Datong" in history.

Now that the war in the south of the Yangtze River is imminent, it is foreseeable that in order to feed the 15 troops on the front line, Dorgon will inevitably increase taxes a lot, which is almost exactly the same as the conditions during the Shanxi Uprising in history.

And now that Boluo, Azig and others have gone to Hades to report, Dorgon may not even be able to choose someone who can deal with Jiang Xiang.

Zhu Linming continued: "Send someone to secretly contact Jiang Xiang, pardon him for the crime of surrendering to captives, and make him the governor of Shanxi, ordering him to raise his troops immediately.

"In terms of military pay and food, the Liang family and the Wang family on the Chahar side can be asked to provide some. If it is not enough, the remaining six 'locust merchants' are all in Shanxi. It is enough for him to copy a few for treason and defection to the enemy." It took several years."

Although Zhang Jiayu found it inconceivable when he heard the words, but he has been in the Dragon Guard Army for so long and has seen Zhu Linmi's "unpredictable prophets" actions many times, so it is not surprising. He immediately saluted and said: "Yes! In the end, we will make arrangements according to the order."

"Ah, that's right," Zhu Linmi added, "Let Jiang Xiang be wary of his subordinate Yang Wei."

"Yes!"

After redoing all the battle arrangements, when Zhu Linmi came out of the military tent, it was completely dark outside.

He glanced at his pocket watch and told Shi Lin, "Send an order to return to Nanjing overnight."

"Yes!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Lin summoned the imperial battalion to assemble, and "borrowed" a thousand cavalry from the Dragon Guards before escorting the emperor to the north.

Although the war is imminent, Zhu Linmi still has an extremely important thing to do in Nanjing - get married.The wedding date is the day after tomorrow, so he hurried back to Nanjing overnight.

Of course, as a normal man, looking forward to marrying a smart, gentle and beautiful wife like Mu Zhiqing, he is naturally "preoccupied" and "can't wait".

But more importantly, for him as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, this big wedding is extremely important.

First of all, this move can paralyze Jianlu.Knowing that Emperor Daming still wanted to get married, Duoduo would think that Daming knew nothing about his 15 army going south, so he could "jump into the pit" with confidence.

Secondly, this is also a good way to boost the morale of the Ming army and the people.You see, the emperor is still getting married as usual, and he is beaming everywhere, which shows that Nanjing is as stable as Mount Tai, and people's hearts must be stable.

By the next day, Zhu Linming's car had already driven into Nanjing City.I saw lanterns and festoons everywhere, red cloth-wrapped plaques on the shops along the street, and even the pedestrians were beaming.

Only the soldiers of the Polu battalion standing on the top of the city can make people smell a hint of the imminent rain.

When Zhu Linming arrived in front of the Meridian Gate, Feng Kang, the eunuch of Bingbi, hurriedly greeted him with dark circles, "Greetings to the Emperor. Long live Lord, you are back, the queen mother almost scolded the servants to death..."

Seeing Ma Wensheng glaring at him, he quickly stopped complaining, and said, "Long Live Lord, you should go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there are still many things waiting for you to look over."

Even for ordinary people to get married, there are a lot of things to do, let alone the emperor.

Zhu Linmi first went to report to the Queen Mother that she was safe, and only after returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation did she realize that there were so many things waiting for him to make a decision. There were hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and the inner court who came to report, and they lined up for half a mile. how long!

As big as the imperial decree to confer the empress, as small as what words to be posted outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he had to nod one by one.

It wasn't until the dinner was served that day that he sent all the officials who requested the order.In fact, regarding the wedding, he wanted everything to be simple, but he didn't want Mu Zhiqing to have any regrets. After all, the wedding day was the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, and he wanted to give his woman the best.

At night, Zhu Linming, who had been busy all day, found that her brain was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep at all, so she simply took out the combat deployment against Duoduo and studied it again.

Seeing that it was already the third watch, he suddenly remembered that if he did not have a good rest and affected the performance of the bridal chamber, making his wife mistakenly think that he is a "fast man", the loss outweighs the gain...

no!He hurriedly ordered Ma Wensheng to make a bowl of calming tea, and after drinking it, he "struggled" for nearly half an hour before falling asleep gradually.

The next day, before dawn, Zhu Linmei was awakened by Ma Wensheng.Taking advantage of the time when the eunuchs and maids were waiting for them to wash and change their crown clothes, he hurriedly grabbed a few bites of food, and then he regained his energy.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already waiting outside the hall accompanied by the eunuchs of the inner court, and surrounded the emperor to the Fengtian Gate.Zhu Linmi went up to the Fengtian Gate according to the procedures, announced the marriage to her ancestors, and then went to the Tai Chi Hall to meet the Queen Mother non-stop, rushing like a war.

Like all the mothers in the world, the queen mother saw Zhu Linming dressed as a groom, she was both happy and weeping, and told him to raise his eyebrows and sing together, and then grabbed the red dates and stuffed them into his hands , Whispered: "There is no royal meal available during the big wedding, so 'steal' a few bites when you are hungry."

Walking out of the Taiji Hall, Zhu Linmi drove the Wenhua Hall through the snow as if rushing to the field.

The Wenhua Hall has long been completely refurbished, with red hangings, a huge red double happiness character on the wall, and a gorilla felt carpet covering the floor. The whole hall is like a red flame rising from a snow-white world.

The princes and ministers had already stood on the Dan Majesty of the Wenhua Hall and in the courtyard according to their ranks. The sound of the silent whip pierced the sky, and suddenly the drums and music rang together. All the officials bowed down and shouted long live to congratulate.

Zhu Linmei stepped into the hall to the rhythm of auspicious music, and ordered Xu Erlu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to welcome the festivals, gold books, gold treasures and other things for the empress.

After Xu Shangshu had finished reading the book and the treasure, he handed over the "certificates" such as festival, book and treasure to the welcoming envoy.

Seeing the welcoming officials leave, Zhu Linmi breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to wait for the queen to enter the palace. She couldn't help sighing in her heart, getting married is really a physical effort!
