On the table, two stacks of files were neatly stacked on both sides of the table. The emperor sat down and glanced at the two stacks of files. He seemed to suddenly think of something: "Let the empresses return to the palace first, and the four princes continue to practice martial arts."

"I'll go now."

Then the emperor picked up a piece of information about Jiangnan.

I glanced at the cover of the file and saw the three words "Jinyiwei" in the lower left corner, which were clearly visible.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and picked up another volume. The five words "General Staff Intelligence Bureau" in the lower left corner were also extremely clear.

When I picked up the intelligence files about the Northern Grasslands, I already had the words "General Staff Intelligence Bureau".

The emperor frowned, but soon, it soothed. The intelligence systems in Jiangnan, especially the Southern Ming and coastal areas have always been a place where boundaries are indefinite.

Since the establishment of the General Staff Intelligence Bureau, it has relied on the existence of a million troops and the massive military expenditure every year, and can be said to have developed rapidly.

The existence of the grassland is easy to distinguish. It belongs to Daheng's external hostile forces and intelligence system. According to his will, it is naturally dominated by the General Staff, and the Jinyiwei retreated smoothly.

However, due to geographical reasons, the General Staff Intelligence Department and the Jinyiwei have always fought endlessly.

The General Staff believed that the Southern Ming was the enemy and should be under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Intelligence Department. The Jinyiwei, based on the reason why the imperial court determined the false Ming Dynasty, was based on the internal territory of Jiangnan since ancient times, and still maintained its mastery of the Southern Ming intelligence system.

It is really hard to distinguish between which one is right and which one is wrong, specifically.

Agreeing with the General Staff’s point of view is to completely recognize the existence of the Southern Ming Dynasty and recognize the existence of the Ming Dynasty’s legal system.

If you agree with the view of the Jinyiwei, it is contrary to the will of the emperor that any external one is governed by the General Office of Information.

After all, strictly divided, Nanming is not the power to which Daheng belongs.

Of course, the most important thing is that this dispute is only temporary. After all, if Nanming is pacified, there will naturally be no dispute.

The thought flew in a flash. The emperor pursed his lips and opened a file. The file was summarized by the Jinyiwei Office. It recorded the information about the Quanzhou Palace in the Southern Ming Dynasty. To be precise, it was about Emperor Jingwu.

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, although the Dongchang was powerful, he was just a fat man. Later, after that assassination, he began to clean up the courts in the capital and the Jinyiwei. The Dongchang was led by Cao Huachun at the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen and began to rectify internally.

It is obvious that in the early environment of being enterprising, Dongchang also showed its glory, but it was not conspicuous in the environment.

With the death of Chongzhen, the investment of the treasury in the East Factory increased day by day.

With him, Duke Qin, under the pressure of the world, Dongchang naturally made a fortune in silence!

It is precisely because of so many years of development that after he ascended the throne, even if he held the list of Dongchang and massacred, it would be difficult to completely destroy the foundation of Dongchang.

With the establishment of the Nanming Dynasty, the remnants of the Dongchang naturally became the emperor's hawks again from the Nanming Dynasty.

However, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Dongchang, which once gave him a headache, was eventually destroyed by his own people in Nanming!

The noble civil servants have never liked eunuchs, let alone, in the Nanming, which is now completely constructed by gentry and civil servants, there is no foundation for the existence of the East Factory.

With the continuous suppression of the court officials in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the curb of the wealth of Dongchang, the Dongchang manzi, who was originally in Daheng, gradually became lonely, and many even took the initiative to serve the Jinyiwei.

It is precisely because of this that without the confrontation between the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei in the dark, the entire Nanming was almost transparent to Daheng.

Just like the information in front of me, the emperor probably did not have such detailed information even in the daily life notes in the Southern Ming Palace.

"Brother Chun is really grown up..."

Looking at the records in the intelligence, the emperor's expression became rare and complicated.

In short, Chun Ge'er is almost eight years old.

If an eight-year-old child was still in a naive state of not knowing anything in later generations, even the second child, who was in his teens, was still like a follower.

But he...

The changes in the environment to a person are fully reflected!

But... in Nanming today, not to mention an eight-year-old child, even if Emperor Tang and Han Wu came to the age of Han, it would have no effect.

Even if you reverse the world in a short period of time, it will only extend the time of destruction and cannot change the final outcome.

After reading the files one by one, the emperor's understanding of Nanming became clearer in his mind.

He once thought that the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history was already ridiculous enough, but now looking at the Southern Ming Dynasty...

The absurdity is even more than in history!

Until the last file was put down, the emperor shook his head and smiled. Speaking of which, he was the real initiator of the absurdity of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for his big moves in the north that led to millions of gentry and landlords fleeing to Jiangnan, the Southern Ming Dynasty would never have evolved into such a ridiculous appearance now!

This smile lasted for a moment and disappeared without a trace. The emperor knew that it was easy to defeat the Southern Ming, but it was not that easy to completely pacify the Southern Ming.

People die for money and birds die for food, let alone, it is related to the survival of the entire class!

"Can the second inspection team pass the message back?"

The emperor asked a question.

"Report to your Majesty, it's not yet."

The emperor nodded, pondered for a moment, and then turned to the grassland intelligence collected entirely by the General Staff Intelligence Bureau.

After reading for a while, the emperor was suddenly stunned, and then his expression was a little solemn.

The remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty headed by Dorgon appeared outside Zhangjiakou. It was obvious that Lin Danhan was about to come out and stir up trouble again!

Although it is expected, it is naturally impossible to say that there is no pressure.

When the army goes south, the northern border will naturally be empty. Moreover, even if it defeats the Southern Ming Dynasty, a large number of troops will be needed to guard all regions, maintain the stability of Jiangnan, and face the desperate backlash of the gentry and landlords!

If there will inevitably be various uprisings, even hoarding goods, various behaviors that disrupt the market, and under the incitement of Jiangnan gentry, the people of Jiangnan are hostile to Daheng...

Even if Jiangnan recovers, it will inevitably restrain Daheng's large number of troops to maintain stability in the next few years.

Daheng's focus will inevitably be concentrated in Jiangnan.

In this way, this great enemy in the northern border is naturally a huge disaster.

"Northern Xinjiang needs to change its strategic direction..."

The emperor pondered that in the past, the defense of the northern border pursued attack instead of defense, that is, the iron cavalry of each tribe took the initiative to attack as long as there were fighters, plowing the ground and sweeping the caves, forcing the Mongolian tribes to migrate northward, creating a safe vacuum zone.

If the focus in the future is Jiangnan, the northern border will inevitably be easily seized by Mongolia and cause loopholes in defense.

Furthermore, Daheng has finally recovered a little vitality and established a basic market. There is no need to smash the plate and fight on both sides to bet on the national destiny!

Obviously, when the army goes south, the northern border must focus on defense, and even completely turn to full defense, and try its best to reduce the chance of accidents.

"Defend north and attack south!"

At this point, the emperor stood up, walked to the Daheng map, looked around for a moment, and then spoke: "Take the yellow military lists of the towns in the northern border, as well as the results of the military law inspections of the northern border military law!"
Chapter completed!
