After the big direction is implemented, the next step is detailed operations.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Xie Wan and said: "Over at Annan, I plan to let Zhan Luochuan be the envoy. With his talent and eloquence, he has great hope of convincing Li Sicheng."
Xie Wan nodded, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for knowing people!"
Zhan Luochuan is a murderer who escaped from the mainland. His ancestral home is Nanchang. He was originally a scholar. After becoming a scholar, even if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam in this life, he can still live and clothe himself as a private school teacher.
In the twelfth year of Jingtai's reign, there was a great undertaking.
Zhan Luochuan failed the exam, so he went to work as a teacher in a large family in Nanchang.
I don’t know what happened later, but Zhan Luochuan actually raped and killed the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and was hunted by the government. Zhan Luochuan went straight from Jiangxi to Fujian, and then went to the sea to Penghu, but was caught by Huilongying.
Because he looked like a scholar at first glance, Fan Biao did not make any decisions and handed Zhan Luochuan over to Xie Wan.
Xie Wan introduced him to Zhu Qizhen again.
Zhan Luochuan became the local chief official of Kaohsiung and Zhu Qizhen's staff. In recent years, he has been favored by Zhu Qizhen. With time, it is not impossible to overcome Xie's lateness.
Zhan Luochuan is indeed somewhat talented.
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "As for the Jurchen and Wala tribes, do Mr. Xie and General Fan have any candidates?"
Xie Wan smiled and said: "The son of Mobei, Chongwu, chooses a scholar, which may not suit their taste. The minister thought that the command of the Hubi Guards in Huilongying made Han Shuihui competent."
Fan Biao also said: "Wei ministers also recommended Han Shui."
Han level, pirate.
After Zhu Qizhen, Xie Wan, Fan Biao and others crossed the Penghu Islands and arrived in Taiwan and settled in Kaohsiung, Han Shui was entrenched near Kaohsiung. At that time, he had about a thousand troops and was fully qualified to compete with Zhu Qizhen.
But the Korean level does not.
This man has some discernment, and he can tell at a glance that Zhu Qizhen is a very special person.
Decisively led his subordinates to surrender.
In the past eight years, he has been trusted by Zhu Qizhen, but after all, he is a pirate and is not as strong as Fan Biao, so so far, he is only a commander, controlling the Huben Guards among the seven guards of Huilong Camp.
Responsible for the security of Kaohsiung City Defense and Woxin Palace.
He was regarded as a confidant general trained by Zhu Qizhen himself.
When he heard that Han Shui was allowed to go, Zhu Qizhen felt slightly relieved. For these major matters, it is definitely more reassuring to have a confidant who has been cultivated by himself. In a certain respect, Zhu Qizhen has been treating Fan Biao and Xie Wan for eight years.
Be mindful.
Then he asked: "What about Japan?"
You need to cross the sea from Taiwan to Japan, and you also need to be proficient in the Japanese language. It is difficult to choose this person, because there are only a few people in Taiwan who are proficient in the Japanese language.
And among these people, none of them can be completely trusted by Baozong.
Xie Wan pondered for a while, "Yabuka."
Yabuka is a Dongpan Yi, an aborigine of Taiwan. In the 13th year of Jingtai, Yabuka, who often went to Japan, lost all his savings gambling on land in Fujian and became disillusioned. He committed a murder and fled back to Kaohsiung.
Longying has become the translation of Huilongying Goulian Japanese pirates.
He often helped Zhu Qizhen send letters to Japanese pirates along the coast.
He can also be regarded as one of Zhu Qizhen's confidants.
Yabuka is indeed the most suitable candidate to serve as ambassador to Japan.
Zhu Qizhen nodded, "Then let's make this decision. I will summon these three people tomorrow and I will appoint them as envoys. They will go on separate missions to work together for our great cause. General Fan, Mr. Xie, this is a desperate move for us.
If we fail, we will probably be attacked by the Ming Dynasty Navy, and we will have no place to take refuge. But if we succeed, and I re-enter the Fengtian Palace, then General Fan and Mr. Xie will be the first contributors to my restoration.
The positions of Duke, Governor, and Minister are up to you and I will share the governance of the world with you!"
The art of painting cakes was mastered by all emperors.
Xie Wan and Fan Biao hurriedly stood up, knelt down and saluted, "I thank your Majesty for your grace."
Xie Wan added another sentence, "For the sake of your majesty's country and the country, the ministers and others are bound to do so. If the great achievements are accomplished in the future, the ministers will not dare to take the credit and be proud of themselves. I sincerely ask your majesty to make the ministers like Fan Li and have rich descendants."
Xie Wan knows that as an emperor, it is okay to share hardships.
It's impossible to agree with each other.
Some of the founding heroes of the founding emperor died a good death. The founding heroes of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang thought they would be safe if they had a gold medal for immunity from death, but they were killed by Taizu.
Annan Leli, the founding hero, had a different ending?
I'm afraid the best ones are the founding heroes of the Song Dynasty.
In this regard, Song Taizu is truly an eternal example.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and was noncommittal. Of course he knew what Xie Wan was thinking, but the more Xie Wan acted like this, the more relieved Zhu Qizhen felt, because Xie Wan was afraid of him!
He said: "It's getting late. Mr. Xie and General Fan should go back and rest."
Fan Biao and Xie Wan resigned.
Zhu Qizhen sat quietly in the study, drinking tea silently. About half an hour later, a general wearing armor and holding a sword said at the door of the study: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, "Come in and talk."
Be careful that the partition wall has ears.
This general was none other than Han Shuixi, the commander of the Jurchen and Oara tribes recommended by Fan Biao.
After entering the study, he knelt down and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have been monitoring Mr. Xie and General Fan, but there was nothing abnormal. After they returned to their respective mansions, they quickly rested and slept."
Zhu Qizhen hummed, "That's the best."
After his decision to counterattack the Ming Dynasty was implemented, Xie Wan and Fan Biao were his right-hand men. If the two of them had a secret connection, they would definitely get together to discuss it after leaving the Woxin Hall.
Zhu Qizhen understood his situation very well.
On the one hand, he was worried that his identity would be known to the Gyeongsang Province, so Taiwan never announced his identity to the outside world. Only a handful of people knew the truth.
There are hidden dangers.
The people in Huilongying and Kaohsiung did not know Zhu Qizhen's identity. Everyone thought that the ruler of this world was just an ordinary pirate who had grown up.
In other words, the principle that the king serves his ministers does not apply in Taiwan.
Although Zhu Qizhen firmly controlled the military power of Huilongying, if Xie Wan and Fan Biao were linked together, both civil and military, with their power, they would still be able to rebel and replace them.
It was precisely because Zhu Qizhen understood this truth that he thought of counterattack.
Don't be afraid if the counterattack fails.
Just retreat to Taiwan.
The combat power of Huilong Camp is fierce. Even if the Ming Dynasty uses all its navy, it may not be able to win Huilong Camp surely, or even impossible to win at all - Huilong Camp has fought many naval battles in recent years, but how many naval battles does the Ming Dynasty have?
Haven’t had a naval battle in years?
As long as he counterattacked the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen had to establish a small court and clarify his identity. In this way, he could implement Confucianism in Taiwan, establish the irreplaceability of imperial power, and attract a large number of people to rely on him.
At that time, it was impossible for Xie Wan and Fan Biao to rebel.
