When he returned to his mansion, Chen Wen took a shower and changed his clothes. After a moment of rest, he continued to deal with the official documents. Tomorrow there is still one day, and there are still a lot of work, meetings and appointments, and he may not be able to rest for a day. However, tomorrow is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, and official duties must be completed before New Year's Eve. Chen Wen also plans to take a few days off during the New Year to accumulate more energy for the arrival of the twelfth year of Yongli next year.

"It seems that my congratulatory letter has been delivered. This surnamed of the country is really good at finding it. Since they have spoken, then I will approve it. Isn't it just seeds, agricultural tools, etc., and I'll sell it!"

In April, Chen Wen was still sweeping over Huguang. Zheng Chenggong set out from Zhongzuo, advanced eastward and attacked Taiwan in a large-scale manner. After this period of recovery, especially dividing Geng Jimao's industry with Chen Wen, his strength was restored, and the scale of the army was slightly larger than in history.

However, with a slight word, the overall strength did not increase much, but the battle process was like a destruction. Among them, Zheng Chenggong used the mortar gun group made and trained by Chen Wen to collapse the Dutch fortress. However, before that, Zheng Chenggong fought with the Dutch in a field, but used the national bottles thrown by the national bottles that were filled with gunpowder and ignited the fuse. An officer connected to the Military Information Department wrote a harsh note in the report.

"God really wants to give the country a decade of life. It's really unknown who belongs to the world."

Chen Wen sighed, it was a pity that God had not allowed the Guo family to live for more years in history. However, this time, Yongli would not go to Myanmar for the time being, and Li Dingguo was still running around in Yunnan and Guizhou. The Qing Dynasty did not dare to touch Zheng Zhilong at this point. After all, it seemed that nothing left behind the factors that caused Zheng Chenggong to die of illness.

"We need to check the intelligence personnel of Zhongzuo Institute to check, the prince of Yanping County, have there been any behavior that is not very ethical in line with ethics recently."

"I will obey the order."

The Military Information Department sent some confidential reports, which were all sent directly to Chen Wen's copy. Chen Wen looked carefully and issued instructions one by one. After the military information report was settled, he asked someone to call the remaining old and young people from North Korea.

The reason why he is called the old and young is that North Korea has been officially destroyed by the Qing Dynasty this year. The Korean royal family, the Li family, was arrested by the Qing court without exception, and the Qing court used bannermen and Han people as civil servants in Korea, and formed core occupation forces with herders recruited from Mongolia in the south of the desert to increase the status of the "country" of North Korea and serve as defenders of civil security, thereby forming a puppet army. Nowadays, there is no vassal country of North Korea, but only the two provinces of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea and South Korea.

"Your Highness of the King of Qi, the Celestial Kingdom is called a vassal in the lower country, but it is actually the same as father and son. The name of Korea was given by Emperor Taizu Gao, and the Emperor showed that he had recreated the country. Now the Tatars lost the country because the Celestial Kingdom missed the great grace of the Celestial Kingdom, and asked His Highness of Qi to send troops as soon as possible to rescue the people of the lower country in the suffering of the upside down."

Seeing that the situation was not good, these North Korean residents who simply fled to Japan directly. At this moment, they were crying in front of Chen Wen, and they looked like the pain of the people who lost their country.

Crying Qin Ting, Feng Jingdi also came to Japan once. It seems that North Korea is still very good at learning Chinese culture. Not to mention spirituality, inner things, etc., at least they have done it. It is said that these guys have been fine in the inn and on the streets these days, but when they see the officials of the Qi Palace, they immediately cried bitterly, and their professionalism is also commendable.

"Let me do this, please explain your country's situation first, so I can understand it."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. His Highness, the King of Qi, is worthy of being the leader of the vassal kings of the Celestial Dynasty. He killed the slave chief Jirgalang, and the villain must know everything."

After hearing this compliment, Chen Wen also shook his head with a smile, and then said to them: "I dare not be the leader of the vassal king. I am now the prince, and I have received the title of Grand Tutor and Grand Tutor. I am indeed the vassal minister with the highest title of title in the dynasty. However, the most trusted King of Jin is now, so I will not be able to say this sentence of the head of the vassal king."

The old former North Korean prefect immediately closed his mouth, and the middle-aged herd next to him swallowed and quickly led the topic to Chen Wen's question just now.

"Report to His Highness the King of Qi, the Tartars have committed atrocities in the lower country, and they are so difficult to write about..."

"I don't want to hear any atrocities. I have seen a lot of things the Tartars do in China, so I don't want you. Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. I still have a lot of official duties and don't have time to listen to you crying. Now I'm going to the point. I heard that the Tartars formed the Eight Banners of Goryeo in your country, but that's the case?"

Chen Wen rudely interrupted the words of the North Korean officials. He was really not interested in having fun with these North Koreans. There are many situations in North Korea. Previously, when Zheng Qi and Ichiro Ono went to North Korea, they were attacked by the Qing army and the North Korean puppet army naval forces. The escorted sailors did not take much advantage. Both sides killed and injured, but they caught a Qing army officer and questioned a lot of things. What he needs to know now is the truth, and he also believes that these remnants still have some tricks in North Korea to more or less.

"The villain knows the crime, and the villain knows the crime."

Chen Wen frowned, and the middle-aged herd envoy was sweating profusely, and he didn't even dare to wipe it off. He entered the main topic: "Report to His Highness, there is indeed this. The country and the country are divided into eight roads, including the capital, Zhongqing, Jiangyuan, Huanghai, Jeolla, Qingshang, Ping'an, Xianjing, etc. In these eight roads, the Tatars defeated the traitors who did not want their ancestors and formed the eight banners. Some of them have left Korea and are said to be going to the capital."

“What is the scale of the Eight Banners of Goryeo?”

"As far as villains know, each ox record has two hundred people. Now each flag has compiled ten ox record, two yellow flags have more, and each has fifteen ox record."

There are more yellow flags, and together there are only thirty oxen records. If you include the other six flags, there are ninety oxen records in total. It seems that there are not many, but if you calculate the 200 people per oxen record, then this is the 18,000 Eight Goryeo Banners.

If we calculate according to the report of the Military Information Department, the Qing Dynasty captured no less than 3,000 fish-skinned Tartars in the past year, recruited 5,000 Mongolians to supplement the Eight Banners of the Mongolian, and adapted less than 10,000 green camps and coats, especially the Eight Banners Coats into the Eight Banners of the Han army. In this way, the losses of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan have at least recovered from the number. However, this combat power cannot be recovered in a short while.

"I heard that the Tartars are still enrolling vassals in North Korea?"

"Report to His Highness, His Highness, are all traitors who don't want their ancestors."

"Sure enough."

The ruling policies of the Qing Dynasty were also very different in different regions. For example, Mongolia formed the alliance banner, promoted the Yellow Cult, and the infamous policy of reducing the number of taxes. In the Han area, it was the promotion of Confucianism, opened sects and recruited scholars, and attracted landlords and scholars to suppress the civil resistance. If there were no Hunan Army or the Huai Army's regiment training during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I would probably have been overthrown by the worship of God in the early morning.

Now, the Qing Dynasty used puppet troops to form a green camp formed by a untouchables such as "Bangzi", which was equivalent to a green camp, while establishing the Eight Banners of Goryeo while seizing scholars, so as to strengthen core force, just like the Han area. This is precisely because North Korea is different from Mongolia and Tibet, and has a profound influence from Chinese culture that it has the current situation.

"Let's do this. I still need time to consider how to deal with it. If you are not in a hurry, you can go to Kunming to meet the emperor. Let's do it today. If you have any questions, I will send someone to find you. If you remember anything, you can hand it over to the officials of the inn."

North Korea has now become the Qing Dynasty. Chen Wen has not yet decided whether to send troops to do some work there. He needs to further understand the current situation of North Korea, and is not in a hurry to do this. However, there are some things that can be used to make a work in advance.

"Just use this as the core argument and let the missionary department's pens write well."

"Master, is this going to be sent to the palace newspaper?"

"No, print thousands of copies of what I have finished writing, and ask Zheng Qi and Ichiro Ono to deliver the things to Japan, giving the Japanese a reason to commit suicide."

After sending people to see off the Koreans, Chen Wen continued to handle official duties until dinner was not completed. After dinner, Chen Wen sat in his study and looked at the science magazine. He had read the first few issues of this year when he was in Wuchang, and there were many wonderful ideas and interesting ones.

At this moment, what he was holding was the last issue of the eleventh year of Yongli, and it was also the one that had just been published. One article mentioned that there was a copper caliper in Xinmang, which consisted of a fixed ruler, a fixed claw, a fish-shaped handle, a guide groove, a guide pin, a combination sleeve, a moving ruler, a movable claw, a handle, and other parts. It was very similar to the vernier caliper in later generations, and there was even no big difference in usage and purpose.

The contributor claimed that he had collected a set of items at home and painted the graphics on the submission. Chen Wen was also shocked after reading it in a magazine. However, when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to vaguely remembered that he had read similar articles online before, and the title seemed to be similar to "Shock, ancient Chinese high-tech products were ahead of the world for thousands of years". Of course, the shock in that article was not a waste of emotion, but it was all real things with archaeological objects.

Chen Wen remembers that according to modern archaeological achievements and ancient characters and graphic records, many ancient Chinese inventions and creations were leading the world, including the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, and even the Ming dynasty he was in at this time. However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, China left only the impression of braids, foot binding and all the words linked to ignorance.

"Fortunately, it's not too late now. Someone has already remembered the vernier caliper. I don't know when the tracks of the Qin people will be remembered. In my life, I probably can't see the train coming out, but if I can see the steam engine, it's not in vain to get on this."

"What my husband just said, I didn't hear it clearly."

"It's nothing. I'm thinking about it. My wife continues to teach Xinruo to write."

At the age of three, according to what Chen Wen thinks, children should still liberate their nature and play at the age of their play. Zhou Yueying believes that children should start learning early, and at least they should start literacy early, so they just need to say the words "children should win at the starting line". If she really knows it, it may resonate.

Chen Wen has been fighting all year round, and his children are too young, so he can't think about the enlightenment of his children, so he has to leave it to Zhou Yueying. Although he doesn't like starting enlightenment education so early, he looks very interested in his daughter, so he simply asks her daughter to write in the study and encourages her.

Just looking at the magazine, she was inspired and said something softly, but it disturbed the mother and daughter. However, Zhou Yueying looked at Shichen and ordered her daughter to write the remaining words and go back to the room to sleep, while she started chatting with Chen Wen again.

"Husband, that Shanhaiguan General, do you really don't want to join the charity?"

Listening to Zhou Yueying's tone, Chen Wen also knew that his wife had no good feelings for Wu Sangui. After all, it was not the era when she was angry and popular for beauty. Wu Sangui opened and put the Tartars in, and the result was that China was on the verge of the cliff that was destroyed again. If Chen Wen had not turned the tide, he might have lost his country now.

However, as Chen Wen knows, the scholar-official class has little disgust towards Wu Sangui. Many people think that Li Chuang has damaged the interests of the Confucian scholar class, and Wu Sangui switches to use troops to fight Li Chuang. It is understandable that he even did evil with the Tartars over the years. This kind of sense will probably be turned around until Yongli was strangled by Wu Sangui with a bowstring.

"Of course, Wu Sangui wants to get the chestnut from the fire, so what will I get involved in? He didn't even mention me in the manifesto. I'm joining in the fun for no reason."

Chen Wen had read Wu Sangui's manifesto as early as Huguang. At that time, he mocked Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi who was sacrificed by Wu Sangui, saying that he had fewer good slaves who led horses and kicked for Manchu soldiers. Even slaughtered the city, he could understand the thoughts hidden in it. It was just that understanding was understood. Personally, Chen Wen did not like Wu Sangui, a traitor in troubled times. Judging from the overall interests of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there was no need to mess up his original rhythm because of this emergency.

"Husband, Wu Sangui defeated the Eight Banners Army under the city of Xi'an. If he contacted the court and led the southwest army north, his Majesty would come to the imperial army in person..."

"Imperial commander-in-command? My wife, we emperor, probably don't have the courage. If it weren't for Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, one would have gone north to seize the gateway and the other guarded the Kunming center, he would have abandoned the city and fled. He had done too much in this before and had hope for his courage. It would be better to rely on the possibility that the Tartars would commit suicide collectively in the capital now."

"What if King Jin and Wu Sangui join forces to advance eastward?"

Zhou Yueying's question came to the point. Li Dingguo was a military commander who could create miracles. Such a person had only two people in the Nanming Dynasty. Once Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui joined forces, with the current strength of the Qing Dynasty, there were indeed problems.

"My wife, have you read these two reports?"

Chen Wen reached out and picked up the two reports on the case. Zhou Yueying was tutoring her daughter today to read and write, so she didn't have time to read this. Seeing Chen Wen pick it up, she reached out to take it and read it carefully. It was not until she read the second one that she felt relieved.

"It seems that the impact that King Jin can have on the result is no longer as great as I imagined. I am afraid that King Jin will be affected by some influence from Wu Sangui, especially Wu Sangui's loyal and brave camp."

Two reports, one was a Green Camp officer who escaped from Xi'an and told the local officials in Henan after fleeing to Henan, and then sent it to Chen Wen's case by these "anti-Qing righteous men" who were "in the Qing Dynasty's heart in the Qi Palace", while the other was a report from the Beijing Station of the Military Information Department, about the new army trained by the Qing Dynasty.
