Chapter 488: Withdraw from North Korea?
Zhu Xu took Jin Zhongshan to visit the artillery on Jinzhou City, the strictness of the infantry, and the abundant food and grass.
Kim Zhongsun truly felt the power of the Ming Dynasty and was full of compliments along the way.
Standing on the city gate, Zhu Xu and Jin Zhongshan held the telescope and looked at Chen Yang from afar.
If it was a large-scale military operation, you could see a rough idea. From this distance, you could not see anything at all. However, Kim Jong-sun was still very interested because it was too far away than the naked eye could see.
"Emperor," Kim Zhongsun looked at Zhu Xu eagerly and said, "If this can be used to Korea and Korea, we can install a watchtower on the island, so we can see every move across the Qinghai Sea in advance."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Well, when I left, I was giving you some."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Zhongsun was overjoyed and fully felt the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, lunch is ready." The little girl from Zu Dashou's family appeared not far from Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu glanced at her and turned to Jin Zhongshen and said, "Mr. Jin, let's go, go with me."
Jin Zhongshen also wanted to be more close to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he agreed after hearing this.
The little girl led Zhu Xu and others to the side room, and the table was filled with wine and food.
It's not rich, but there are wine and vegetables, and there is no shortage of fish and meat.
Seeing that the Ming Emperor was not extravagant, Jin Zhongshan nodded secretly. After Zhu Xu sat down respectfully, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Ming Dynasty has been innovating the army. Our military preparations in Korea are abolished, and General Qin still needs more trouble."
Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Talk while eating."
Although Zhu Xu said so, he knew in his heart that the military system of Korea and Korea was more complicated than the Ming Dynasty. With the successive coups, the military system was similar to the Song Dynasty. Generals and officials were transferred, so that "the soldiers did not know the generals and generals did not know the soldiers." Now that the population is sparse, the military equipment is becoming increasingly deflated. Qin Yiming's 30,000 troops entered North Korea and Korea, and with the "Common Defense Treaty", with the strong protection of the Ming Dynasty, the whole country and the whole country seemed to give up their army.
'This Jin Zhongshan is not stupid.' Zhu Xu said to himself.
Jin Zhongshen was naturally not stupid. He had been observing Zhu Xu carefully. Seeing that he was relaxed and had no warning, he said, "Your Majesty, can you transfer General Qin from Korea and Xian to Han City?"
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Zhongsun and said, "Han City is the royal city of Korea and Korea, the capital, and the two people in Korea and Korea agreed?"
Seeing that Zhu Xu was not the first to refuse, Jin Zhongshan said sincerely: "Go back to the emperor, Korea and Korea need the protection of the Ming Dynasty! The threat of Jiannu has been resolved, there is no difference between Ping Rang and Han City, so please agree!"
Zhu Xu looked at Jin Zhongshan and felt a little moved, and then he thought about something.
Before, Jin Zhongshen wanted the Ming Dynasty to ensure the continuation of the righteousness of the DPRK and Korea and did not give traitors a chance. Now he asked to transfer Qin Yiming's 30,000 troops from Pingrong to Hancheng. What medicine is sold here?
Seeing Zhu Xu pondering silently, Jin Zhongshan felt a little nervous and leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, please be sure to agree to my request! North Korea and Korea need the Ming army!"
‘Retreat as advance? Are you afraid that the Ming Dynasty will withdraw its troops?’
Zhu Xu understood that the country's national strength is weak now, and the Ming Dynasty needs to stabilize the hearts of the people and also guard against the return of Japan at sea. It may also need to curb internal rebellion.
"Emperor, General Yuan has arrived." An imperial guard appeared at the door and raised his hand to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu's body kept saying, "Transfer."
Jin Zhongsun's expression moved, without saying a word, and stood there.
Yuan Keli quickly made a big stride, with a gray beard and a half-white head, as if it had been weathered and frosted for a long time, and his face was very rough. He didn't look like a literati, but like an old farmer.
He had not been to Beijing for two or three years. When he saw Zhu Xu, he was a little surprised, and still raised his hand with a firm look on his face and said, "Since Yuan Keli, please see the emperor!"
Zhu Xu had already stood up, and the old man was almost seventy, and he waved his hand with a smile, "Stand up, come, give him a seat."
Yuan Keli was very unfamiliar with Zhu Xu, and they were all word-of-mouthed from outside. Seeing that he was not as crazy and rebellious as the legendary legend, his expression was slightly relaxed, and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then I saw Zhu Xu having a meal, looking at the stool brought by the guards, not sitting or standing.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. By the way, General Jin Zhongshan, you should be familiar with Lord Yuan."
Yuan Keli's Northern Navy and Korea had many intersections, so he naturally knew each other. He raised his hand and saw that Kim Zhongshen was already present, so he had to sit down.
Yuan Keli had a rough face, but his eyes were bright. He looked at Zhu Xu and said impatiently: "Emperor, Jiannu has been pacified. I believe that the North and South Navy can be merged and dispatched in a unified manner."
Zhu Xu was slightly stunned and looked at him and said, "The North and South Navy each has its own responsibilities and different emphasis. Why do we need to merge?"
Yuan Keli was silent for a moment and said, "Emperor, the disaster in the country is serious now, and there are too many places that require relief, and the navy is spending a lot. I think it can be streamlined and save money for the court."
Zhu Xu's brows moved, and Yuan Keli's words could not be said to be unreasonable. Without Jiannu and Japan, the country had been closed to the country, and Japanese pirates had basically become history. In fact, it was indeed unnecessary to retain a huge naval army in the north. Moreover, the expenses would be more and more in the future, but the income of the imperial court would become less and less. To the court's eyes, the huge northern naval army would seem to be redundant.
But, is there any leader who wants to disband his team?
Zhu Xu looked at Yuan Keli and said, "What's the reason?"
Yuan Keli saw that Zhu Xu did not agree immediately, obviously different from the previous Apocalypse. Wanli said for a moment: "Your Majesty, I believe that the court cannot be distracted from controlling the two naval forces, which is not conducive to the strength of the naval forces. The naval forces are equally important, not many! Although I don't know much about the red-haired people, I think that an elite naval force of 50,000 people and nearly a hundred warships are enough to protect the stability of the south..."
Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Do you think the navy is expanding too fast and has not formed enough combat power, right?"
Yuan Keli commanded the navy for many years. When he saw the emperor's key point, he did not hide it and said, "Yes, I believe that whether it is the northern or southern navy, it needs to be streamlined. No matter how many ships are built, it is better to train a ship of elite soldiers."
Zhu Xu knew it and said with a smile: "Well, I understand. After returning to Beijing, I will discuss with all the masters of the Ministry of War."
Yuan Keli did not expect the emperor to be "friendly". He was always worried that the emperor would be overwhelmed by the victory and continued to be "military and powerful". Seeing Zhu Xu agreeing, his expression became more gentle and he couldn't help but cough violently.
When Zhu Xu saw this, he hurriedly said to an imperial guard not far away: "Hurry up, pass on the military doctor!" The military doctor in Jinzhou City was also equipped by Sun Chengzong according to Zhu Xu's requirements.
Yuan Keli coughed a few times, raised his hand and said to Zhu Xu, "Thank you, you are all old problems, it doesn't matter."
Seeing his face turned red and his beard was difficult, Zhu Xu said in a stern manner: "Mr. I have worked hard all the way. I don't have to accompany me anymore. Go and rest. Come and arrange a room for Lord Yuan and let the military doctor take a good look!"
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always been polite to the court officials. Yuan Keli was not moved, but was a little relieved, so he stood up and responded.
Kim Jong-sun was watching silently, expressionless, and still remembering what had happened just now.
With Yuan Keli's affairs, there was no way to have a happy meal. Zhu Xu hurriedly ate some, so he asked Jin Zhongshan to go to rest and came to Yuan Keli's room in person.
The military doctor had just come out and saw the emperor, and he hurriedly saluted. Zhu Xu waved his hand, looked inside, and whispered: "Mr. Yuan, is it important to fight?" An old man who was almost seventy years old was careless.
The military doctor quickly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan is overworking and overworking has become a disease. He needs to be properly treated, so it should not be a big deal."
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and couldn't help but think of Yuan Keli's words just now, and sighed in his heart, "I'm afraid this is because of my health."
Zhu Xu did not disturb him, and returned to his temporary "Imperial Study Room" and continued to watch various "reports" as usual. Feige came from Shen Yang continuously, recording everything that happened to Shen Yang.
Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and couldn't help but yawn. He basically didn't sleep last night, but now he finally couldn't hold on.
He wrapped his clothes and lay on the table.
After a while, the little girl Zu Dashou found came in and saw Zhu Xu lying on the table and fell asleep. He quietly put a blanket on Zhu Xu and then walked out quietly. Then he closed the door and stood at the door in a pretty posture, like a little guard.
At the same time, Zhu Youjian and others' carriages also entered Shanhaiguan and were rushing to Jinzhou City without stopping.
In the lobby, Dorgon was asking for an order to Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong was quite surprised and looked at him with a constant expression and said, "You mean, you want more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Shuotou and Duoduo to merge into the Hulang Guard?"
As soon as he adds up, Dorgon has more than 20,000 cavalry. If he colludes with Huang Taiji or Korqin, the threat to the Ming Great Wall and even Shen Yang who has just been captured will increase greatly!
With Dorgon's intelligence and prudence, shouldn't such a request be made?
Dorgon's face was calm, or without expression. He looked at Sun Chengzong and said firmly: "Yes, the lower officials believe that the merger of Huang Taiji and Korqin is the biggest threat on the grassland. Without enough cavalry restrictions, they can only let them grow up. In the future, they may threaten Liaodong, Shen Yang again!"
Dorgon's words are correct, but they can tell whoever is.
No one from the Ming Dynasty agreed to his request!
Sun Chengzong was no exception. He kept looking at Dorgon, trying to see something from his expression, but he couldn't see it through it.
Sun Chengzong looked thoughtful and said, "I need to consider this matter carefully. What other ideas do you have?"
Dorgon also expected this result and said: "Sir, please make a city outside the Great Wall. A big city can monitor and attack at any time. At the same time, it also shocks the Mongolian tribes in the south of the Moshan area near the Great Wall, forcing them to join forces with Chahar to become another line of defense outside the Great Wall!"
Sun Chengzong nodded slightly. Dorgon was a capable, strategic and courageous person. It can be seen from the fact that he had only 10,000 people yesterday that he dared to charge forward to Korqin and Huang Taiji's army of more than 50,000.
His idea is also very good, and it is not difficult to implement. The key is that Dorgon is a Jiannu!
