The admiral of the security army and the Marquis of Zhenjiang, Zhang Guodong, raised his concerns. He was a disciple of the emperor and was absolutely intimate and would not hide anything. He took advantage of the opportunity to meet the saint and said it directly. He believed that this was a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor.

"Ni Yuanlu and others are all former Jiangbei Party members, especially they have also planned to assassinate His Majesty with Wu Yan. It is a blessing from outside the law for such people to pardon them. Why do they still need to restore their posts?"

"Your Majesty, these people are all rebels. Now, not only do they have to pardon them, but also restore their posts. Wouldn't this be to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Liu Jun raised his head from the note in his hand, shook his head and smiled, "Let the tiger return to the mountain? What are they? I have to use these people because we were not ready to take over this huge court in advance. Now, although I have become the emperor and the country has changed its master, the sky is still the same. The Han Empire also needs officials, and my decree needs to be conveyed and implemented through these officials."

"In the past, we have been developing the military and developing trade. But for administration, especially civil servants, we still lack experience and manpower. How should the emperor's will be implemented? It must be through the country. The emperor's will is the will of the country, but what is a country and how to realize the will of the country? Have you ever thought about these?"

Zhang Guodong shook his head. A few years ago, he was just a poor mountaineer in the mountainous area of ​​Taiping Township, Macheng. By chance, he took his prey to the county town to sell money. He found that Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang were recruiting village heroes. The treatment he gave was very good. He was moved and tried it. He didn't think he would be recruited at that time. In fact, he just saw that the people who went to the trial could eat a sesame cake.

The sesame cakes in the county were too expensive, and he couldn't bear to buy them. He was so hungry that he gushed. He finally took the courage to tempt the sesame cakes and tried under the recruitment banner.

As a result, in this test, the new Zhenjiang Marquis of the Han Empire, the guardian admiral, and the dignified imperial general. In just a few years, he deeply realized that it was entirely because he followed the right person, and he followed the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When the emperor was still a martial artist, he followed the emperor. He followed him through all the obstacles and fought south and north. Then he relied on his absolute loyalty to the emperor. No matter when, he had never hesitated about the emperor's orders.

The emperor's sword pointed at is where his heart was.

Loyalty, bravery. He followed the right person from the beginning, and his loyalty and courage, especially when he played forward for the emperor at several critical moments, he eventually became the first group of people to be named marquis. Among the first group of people to be named marquis, even the emperor's thirteen Taibao rebels that year, he only had a few.

"Donggouzi, you are now also a guard admiral in the capital. You have to remember an old saying. You can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot govern the world immediately. After all, you cannot do without those civil servants. They have more experience. Fighting war and administration are two things that are completely incompatible."

“Can’t we use our own people?”

"Of course I want to use my own people, after all, my own people are more reliable. But where do we get our own people? Our own people are all in the army and try our best. Now we only control more than ten new troops in the new army, and even half of the troops in the world have not been controlled. Not to mention more than twenty provinces in the world, the talents who govern the country's government are not so easy to select. They not only need culture, but also experience."

"Maybe in three to five years, we can cultivate a group of real people of our own. But now, we still need Ni Yuanlu and other people. I also know that these people are carrying thorns, but as long as we are careful and use them well, even if they are double-edged swords, they will only make us more invincible."

As he said that, Liu Junyang raised the memorial in his hand.

"Ni Yuanlu was not our own in the past, but now, in the future, they will be our own people." He threw the memorial to Zhang Guodong. "These people are our enemies."

Zhang Guodong took the memorial and read it. Although he was a poor boy in the mountains in the past, he had been in the melting pot of Chu army for many years and had learned a lot of cultural knowledge. Now he can't recognize three thousand words, and he can write ordinary articles, although his words are still a little ugly.

He browsed through it quickly and immediately understood what was being reported by the memorial.

The Qing army had heard that Liu Jun had proclaimed himself emperor, so they sent a delegation to Beijing to congratulate him, and at the same time they were coming to negotiate peace talks.

"The Qing barbarians are congratulating this time, but in fact they want to take advantage of us. Seeing that I established the country and ascended the throne, they thought that the Central Plains would be in civil strife and could take advantage of the situation to rob us, and wanted to discuss our contribution." Liu Jun snorted coldly.

"The Qing barbarians want to take advantage of the situation to rob? Then we will fight back so that they will not lose the rice." Zhang Guodong said loudly, "Your Majesty, I request to lead the army to fight."

From a military perspective, the time for counterattack has emerged. It is already mid-April, and the ice on the Bohai Sea has prematurely melted, which means that the fleet of the Imperial Navy can set sail and attack at any time. The Marines can board warships, or even the army directly board a transport ship, land at any coast of western Liaoning under the escort of the navy, directly intercept the Qing army's supply line, intercept their retreat route, and cut off their contact with Liaodong.

They could even directly support Liaodong and launch a fierce attack on the Qing army's base camp.

But military has always served politics.

The current situation is not a good time to launch a large-scale military service to the outside world.

Liu Jun has indeed been on the dragon throne, but his butt has not yet sat firmly. He just issued an order to remove all the titles of Zhu Ming royal families and demote them to common people. It is conceivable that this edict would definitely trigger rebellion from many Zhu Ming royal families.

There are also officials, gentry, landlords and merchants from all over the country, many of whom were dissatisfied with some of the new policies implemented by Liu Jun before. This time, many people will definitely be unable to bear it and want to rebel.

Liu Jun can judge that a round of rebellious unrest will inevitably start in all parts of the world. Liu Jun is sure to sweep these rebellions quickly, but he has no way to prevent these rebellions from happening.

On the eve of this turmoil, Liu Jun had to transfer the imperial army to the Central Plains and to the south.

"The Central Plains cannot be in chaos. We must concentrate our efforts to deal with the upcoming turmoil. Do you understand?"

Zhang Guodong nodded, "I understand, I will give him a moment."

Three days later, a team of more than 200 people entered the capital under the escort of a Han army. This team was a Qing mission from outside the pass. In order to come to congratulate Liu Jun on his ascension to the throne, the Ming Dynasty actually blackmailed Liu Jun.

On the Golden Palace, Liu Jun sat on the dragon throne, looking at the court officials in the hall and said, "Wu Sanguizu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with his second rebellion, and led the Qing army to invade a large number of people. More than 100,000 enemy troops have been stationed on the Luan River north of the Great Wall for a while, and have been refusing to withdraw their troops. Their goals are quite large. Everyone, how do you think we should deal with it?"

The governor of Zhili and Changsha Marquis Liu Yunsheng came out of the line, "Your Majesty, there is only one word to the Qing barbarians and ugly barbarians. If you don't hurt him, they will not know how powerful they are. These barbarians have always been afraid of power and virtue. If you treat him well, they will only think that they can be weak and bullied. Only when they hurt, they will be afraid and respectful."

The new cabinet chief Yuan Jixian followed suit.

"Your Majesty, I oppose the large-scale use of troops against the Eastern Captains at this time. The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world and strive to complete the control of various places as soon as possible. The military forces of the court should be sent to the southeast, southwest, northwest and other places as soon as possible to avoid any people who are ill-hearted and take the opportunity to cause chaos in various places. The fire of turmoil must be extinguished as soon as possible before the chaos begins. As for the Qing Captains, even if we draw some troops on the Ning and Yanbei defense lines, we are fully capable of defending the enemy outside the country."

The governor Hou Xun outside the pass made a memorial.

"Your Majesty, I think I should first destroy the Qing captives and then send troops south to rest assured. If I ignore the Qing captives, I will have worries about sending troops south. What's more, the capital of our Han Empire is in Beijing, with only one Great Wall defense line around it. It is too weak and lacks defense depth. For the safety of the country and the country, we should also send troops to repel the Qing captives, and then recover the western Liaoning and northern Yan, so as to strengthen the defense of the capital."

Hou Xun was the governor of the outside pass, but now he is a little embarrassed. Only Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are left in western Liaoning, and only two small places like Zhenjiang and Lushun are left in Liaodong. He hopes that the court can send troops outside the pass, at least to retake Liaoxi.

Secretary of the Ministry of War Zhang Guowei also made a report.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army has no credit at all. Shortly after the peace agreement was decided with the Qing army last time, the Qing army immediately tore up the peace agreement and sent troops to invade. Even if we reached peace agreement with the Qing army again this time, I am afraid they would commit again at any time. Now is a great opportunity to use troops to counterattack. The Qing army advisors on the north side of the Great Wall have been ineffective for a long time, their morale has been dispersed, and their supplies are insufficient. We will send troops once and for all. Otherwise, the Qing army will be like a spike and will always be stuck in our throats, making them unable to sleep or eat!"

Yuan Jixian still believed that there was no need to fight this battle.

"Your Majesty, even if we win this battle, we will not be able to go deep into Liaodong and pacify the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, we have Ningyuan and Yanshan solid defense lines. As long as we stick to it, we can stand invincible. If the Tartars fail to attack, they will have to return in a mess. When we control the world and stabilize the situation, we will accumulate strength and build up our strength in the east. We will surely be able to achieve success in one battle and eliminate future troubles forever. Why bother to hurry up and for now?"

"The Qing envoy went to the palace to meet him!"

The eunuch sang loudly. After a while, led by two young eunuchs, the Qing Dynasty envoy stepped into the hall. The envoy was wearing a bear-skin robe and dragged a slender rat tail with a head under the back of his hat.

"The envoy of the Qing Dynasty, Babutai, paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and asked His Majesty to accept the congratulations from our Qing Dynasty." As he said, Babutai presented a gift list.

Four thousand-mile horses, six marten fur, eight kilograms of ginseng, twelve top-quality Eastern pearls, thirty-six kilograms of gold, and a thousand kilograms of silver.

Liu Jun listened to the eunuch's singing and drinking, and just smiled, and a little gift could not catch his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a letter of nationality to submit it to Your Majesty, which is related to the friendship between the two families."

The letter of the country was presented, and nothing unexpected happened. It really talked about the two families' reconsideration of peace again. Liu Jun only wanted to use one word to describe the conditions issued by the Qing people, which was arrogance.

"Your condition is that my great man will cede all the places outside the pass to the Qing Dynasty, and will give it to the Qing Dynasty five million silver coins every year in the future, and the Qing Dynasty will give it back with minks, ginseng, pearls, wood, etc."

Babutai raised his head high, his nostrils were almost facing the sky, "That's exactly what it is." (To be continued.)
