() General Zhenguo went to the Western Seas in a mighty manner. Even though the size of his fleet was not comparable to that of Zheng He's fleet, the shock it caused in the Ming Dynasty was even worse. Recover Eastern Fan and drive away the Dutch barbarians.
It's not important. If that fat, militaristic man can't even do this, how can he fight with the Jiangnan scholars? It's not surprising that Zou Weilian died and came back to life. After all, he has a lot of money and an emperor in front of him, so he can bribe some polite scum.
What is it? What really makes the scholars unbelievable is that he really left the emperor alone and went to show off his power? Isn't this a deliberate plan to hide and do some harm while we are not paying attention?
Like Zhu Youcong, the already overwhelmed scholars also hated being attacked from both front and back, fighting wolves in front and provoking tigers in the back. Faced with such a good opportunity, they quickly mobilized all their resources, and in a short time, horses galloped across the coast from Guangdong to Zhejiang, and pigeons flew over
, in order to confirm the whereabouts of the fat man, all kinds of strange people came to help one after another. After ten days of hard work, the scholars finally got the news they longed for. Although five battleships were left behind, the fat man himself did bring Zou Weilian with him.
Let's go together. What a God-given opportunity! There is no such harm in the country. If we want to fool the scholars who talk about the words of saints all day long and make the scholars dare not say anything, isn't it just a matter of easy capture?...
However, after the scholars who could not prevent the emperor's accidental death made a new plan and started to implement it, they discovered that they had been fooled again! As if overnight, Lu Xiangsheng's main force left Shandong and went straight to Pizhou. Xiong Zhaojuan's troops advanced to Macheng and put on a show of preparedness at any time
It looks like it will launch an attack, and Qin Liangyu's army stationed at Qutang Guard is even more aggressive... Does that damn fat man still want to be shameless? The movements of the armies in the north have been under our surveillance, and there has been no news from Luoyang recently.
There are signs of troop mobilization, where did these people come from? How can we launch military remonstrances while the emperor is still in Nanjing if he is allowed to act like this?
"A sneeze" Ever since the fleet secretly sailed to the Gulf of Siam to avoid the sight of the Spanish, Zhu Youcong has been sneezing non-stop.
"Husband, drink this bowl of ginger soup quickly!" Zhang Yan couldn't figure out what was going on. Doctor Wu and those Western Yi magic sticks who were on board the ship had already diagnosed and said there was nothing wrong, but why?
Can't stop?
"It's okay! It's okay! I'm really fine!" Seeing this big bowl of dark ginger soup, Zhu Youcong felt nauseous. Who brought such a big guy on board for nothing? And who said he drank this?
Are the things effective? When you have time, you must find them all and let them serve dozens of bowls each!
"You said it's okay. General, you haven't stopped sneezing since this morning!" Zou Weilian was really grateful. After all, it is very difficult to find a boss who is willing to take the blame for his subordinates these days.
"It's okay when I say it's okay. If you keep being wordy, believe it or not, I'm going to kick you out?" After yelling at the unfortunate Zou Weilian, Zhu Youcong immediately put on a smile and said, "Sister Zu'e, this trick of yours is so wonderful.
!”
A talented woman is a talented woman. In Zhang Yan's eyes, Zhu Youcong wanted to make this trip south to block the hole unnoticed. He relied on the few fishing boats left in the country to take charge of defense to block the news so that the scholars would not dare to act rashly.
It was simply a waste of opportunity. Someone came up with a more bold idea. Not only did they have to report it to the court with great fanfare, but they also secretly ordered Lu Xiangsheng and other powerful generals with large armies not to move without permission before the scholars confirmed the news. She just wanted to tell the scholars
The opportunity allowed them to take risks under high pressure, so that they could help the emperor find an excuse to eliminate the die-hards among them. Obviously, this time without noticing the large army hidden in the mountains and forests, the scholars once again chose to cooperate.
"General, are you really not worried that they will continue to swallow their anger?" Zhou Fengxiang, like Zhu Youcong, could only make guesses about what was happening in the country, but he thought of another possibility.
"Worried? What do I have to worry about? If they tolerate it, Brother Huang will successfully promote the reform and eliminate the malpractices of the government; if they don't tolerate it, Brother Emperor will still do it, but he will just have to deal with a few people first!" Regarding Chongzhen's deception.
Zhu Youcong has absolute trust in his ability. Even if something goes wrong, won't Han Xu and others be there to help find a solution? "But this matter has nothing to do with us. Lure the Western bandits over and block it for our Ming Dynasty."
The top priority is to buy enough time to break through the hole!"
"Speaking of this operation, I would like to ask the general to enlighten me if I have something unclear!" Zhou Fengxiang had no objection to the general policy of diverting trouble to the west. After all, Buddhism is different from other religions. Although it was founded by the prince of Kapilavastu in ancient India
, but it has long since declined in its place of origin. Those so-called holy places were just used to deceive the Western barbarians who did not understand the true meaning. Even if people turned all these places into churches, their impact in the Ming Dynasty would not be as good as
Demolished two abandoned temples.
"Say!" Zhu Youcong didn't have much in his stomach, but he was happy to show off in front of others.
"General, you also said that those Western bandits will never abide by any agreement, but why did you give up the benefits at your fingertips this time and not let Brother Dehui take the opportunity to capture one or two places to pave the way for my Ming Dynasty's future actions?
"After a pause, Zhou Fengxiang said with concern: "Now Commander Qin's Southern Group Army has not yet been formed, and Ma Wannian's troops can only fight in Annan. It is really difficult to take care of such a large area..."
"About this issue..." Zhu Youcong scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Madam came up with this method. I can't explain it for a while, so I'd better ask her to explain it."
If she can only make up for the omissions, it really doesn't show Zhang Yan's ability. What she has to do is to make mistakes for Ming Dynasty to seek greater benefits. "We are not taking advantage of it because we are not strong enough and cannot take into account so many aspects for the time being.
It’s also because once we intervene for this small profit, we won’t be able to help him find an excuse to occupy this entire area for my Ming Dynasty!”
"Madam is saying..." Looking at the place where Zhang Yan's finger fell, Zhou Fengxiang suddenly realized. Wu Si Zang! Yes, why did I ignore that the Karmapa believed in Buddhism? Once Daming comes and takes possession of even the needle
In a place as big as the nose, they are involved. But the subtlety of the current situation is that Zou Weilian's broken ships belong to the missing fleet. After they got lost, they launched a counterattack to prevent enemies with unknown intentions from snatching the ships. It really makes sense, anyway, our Ming Dynasty
They will never admit that they have obtained authorization, and they may even reprimand this blind man!
"General, I understand!" Zou Weilian, who was destined to take the blame, also fully realized it. Even though the area south of the Godavari River is very large, it is really hard for three bandits to divide people's lives. Anyway, the area south of the Godavari River is very large.
My task is to stop the Mughal Empire from sending troops to the south for them. Will the Dutchman who was beaten up because of the Ming Emperor Nan Ke Yimeng cross the river without making any noise? Even if those three families are not willing to offend
Don't the locals still have the Archbishop of the East and his knights? As long as the holy land is destroyed, Karmapa will have enough reasons to send troops to protect the law without authorization. If he can't defeat him and runs back to the capital to confess his crime, can Ming help him?
Talk to your own people?
"As for here..." Zhang Yan's delicate hands redrawn the dividing line proposed by Zhu Youcong when he was preparing to negotiate with the Western powers, and said with a smile: "If they don't cross this line, who am I, Ming Dynasty, to blame them?"
To break the agreement and unleash the wrath of thunder?"
Hearing this, Zhou Fengxiang could no longer find words to describe these two people. It is indeed a trick thought up by a talented woman. If a Dharma King suffers a loss, it can be said that he asked for it. If the envoy is more capable, that is
Apologizing and paying money will end the matter. If it doesn't work, the most it will do is to give up a large piece of territory. Then it will be too arrogant and rude for Daming to find a reason to continue to pester. But it is different if they take the initiative to cross the line. This kind of action can be
Directly understood as a provocation to Ming Dynasty!
"What can I do to lure them to reach out?" Once the negotiations are over and they start gathering troops, the monster will return home with the two troublemakers. Zou Weilian, who is destined to stay here as a supporting role, decided to use this time to figure out the steps.
, save it and make another mistake in the future!
Without answering, Zhang Yan stared at Zhu Youcong and said, "Didn't my husband say a few days ago that he wanted to add some exotic flavor to the emperor's palace?"
Zhang Yan's words completely confused the two gentlemen who were eager to know the answer. The discussion now was a national matter. They were thinking about how to deceive their allies. Why did it suddenly involve the emperor's private life? But think about it.
, it’s really not worth it if the emperor can also take the blame!
"Do you two want to be promoted and make a fortune?" Zhu Youcong, who understood Zhang Yan's thoughts, did not answer. Instead, he smiled slyly in an attempt to deceive his subordinates.
"I don't want to!" Without any consideration, Zhou Fengxiang and Zou Weilian made the most correct choice at the same time. For this little monster, if he said that he wanted to be promoted, it would definitely mean that he would have nothing to do in the future. If he said that he wanted to get rich, that would be the best.
He is just looking for someone to act as a passing god of wealth and help him block other people's verbal attacks in front of him.
"Why are you two so clueless? This time I really want you to do a good deed to please the emperor. As long as you succeed, will you be able to get promoted and make a fortune?" It's too difficult to kick two people at the same time.
, Zhu Youcong could only endure his temper and continue to cheat.
A good thing? A good thing can drag the emperor into taking the blame? Feeling that the task to be carried out this time must be very irregular, Zhou Fengxiang said with a plaintive face: "General, just tell me what you have ordered, we really don't want to gain anything for ourselves!"
"Disappointed! You guys let me down so much!" Zhu Youcong, whose conspiracy failed, could only ask with a grimace: "I should go back after everything is settled, and you two are the only ones here who are secretly plenipotentiary.
We understand, right?
If you are not serious, everyone should stop pretending. There is no way you want us to be deceived! Zou Weilian immediately responded: "General, if you are not too busy, can you stay a few more days so that your subordinates can also do it?"
Want to listen to more of your teachings?”
"Forget it, I'm not used to this life of wandering on the sea." Zhu Youcong secretly lamented that people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and it's hard to fool them these days. "My imperial brother is full of blood. Now there are no big things happening in the country.
It doesn’t hurt to be a little more fishy now and then?”
"The emperor has worked so hard for our country, the Ming Dynasty, so of course it needs to be adjusted!"
"Then as the good ministers and generals of my Ming Dynasty, shouldn't you also share the emperor's worries and find a few noble beauties for the emperor to accompany him to the palace and get married by marriage, so as to enhance the relationship between our Ming Dynasty and the Western countries?"
"General, you..." It's over. It seems that the blame for Emperor Ming's misfortune has been taken, and it will soon spread all over the world. But even if the Western Yi people are sent, they can't take it before they swallow it.
Just reach out your hand before eating the fat in the bowl.
"That's what I think. Anyway, this place is so big, and the war won't be over for a while. This time, let's find someone better, and directly ask them for princesses, daughters-in-law, etc. in the name of marriage! As long as they
If you agree, it doesn't matter whether the goods delivered are genuine. The important thing is to make them less wary. When the time comes, Uncle Yi, who has received benefits from others and got the opportunity to be promoted and make money, can't quietly tell them that the land next to him is more fertile.
People there are easier to bully? And Dehui has the nerve not to turn a blind eye and allow others to go beyond their limits?"
"this……"
Feeling that he really couldn't think about so much by himself, Zhu Youcong said shamelessly: "Of course, you have to discuss the specific details slowly! But I can do some small things that can spark ideas, such as Germany
When Hui is patrolling, can he occasionally sneak in and let the enemies cross the river, so that they can also suffer a little bit..." (To be continued.)
