Chapter 6 Peninsula Crisis (III)

After Sun Chengzong left, Zhu Yinglong sat upright on the dragon throne and was stunned for a long time. It was not until Xu Yingyuan rubbed his sleepy eyes to remind him that it was time for the fourth update that he came to his senses.

"Is there anything to eat?" Zhu Yinglong asked in his first sentence when he came to his senses.

"Yes, yes, I'll take it to you now!" Xu Yingyuan was shocked and was sure that he heard nothing wrong, so he quickly responded.

"I'm tired of all the pastries in the palace." Zhu Yinglong shook his head and said.

"Then you want to eat something, your servant will make it for you."

"No need, just go out of the palace and buy me a few fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk. I see that it's almost dawn, so I'll just sleep for a while and wait for you to come back." Zhu Yinglong said, and his body couldn't help but lie down. The dragon chaise was long and wide, just like the leather sofa in later generations. There was absolutely no problem lying on it and sleeping. Then cover it with a warm fur, so you don't have to worry about falling asleep.

Xu Yingyuan responded, walked out with a slight touch, closed the door of the study, and two eunuchs on duty were guarding the door, gave a few instructions, shook their heads and sighed, and left the palace.

Zhu Yinglong slowly closed his eyes. He couldn't sleep at all. It was too difficult to govern a country. Starting a business is even more difficult to maintain success. He now wants to create and guard both ends. He has to take into account both ends. Only then can the domestic situation be opened up a little, and there is a situation outside, so he doesn't give you a chance to breathe. Governing the country is difficult in one word! No wonder so many emperors like to be foolish monarchs but not wise monarchs. The emperor is not done by ordinary people, and those who travel through time are also ordinary people.

There is no way, I choose the road myself, and I have to continue living for thirty years in time, and at least I have to last until sixteen years later. At worst, I can take my family to the sea to Nanyang under my own identity, and just take a fork in history and return to the right path.

However, as soon as this idea emerged, Zhu Yinglong was scared and sweated coldly. There were still sixteen years left. Should he do nothing and just be a pleasure-loving monarch? If he really did this, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would perish faster, and history would inevitably change. Is it because he lost confidence in himself or his lost confidence in this era that he took great pains to seize the throne and gave up on himself? Is the humiliation of a hundred years thrown away?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yinglong had no sleepiness at all. The blood in his blood vessels was flowing rapidly, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were opened and looked up. If he gave up, many people would probably leave him. Confidants, elders, women, and emotions more precious than life. Living like this would be more uncomfortable than death. Even if history cannot be changed, it would be at least thriving for another sixteen years!

At least Zhu Yinglong understands one truth: ambitions are accumulated bit by bit, confidence is OK, no matter whether it is ambition or confidence, the most important thing is to have a calm heart.

Zhu Yinglong couldn't sleep at night, and the string inside his head was also tightly tight. This person was Huang Taiji. He was very worried about having an opponent who was still very powerful now, making such a big decision.

Although he only asked his eldest son Haoge to lead 20,000 troops into North Korea for the vanguard, this was already the limit of his ability to hide his ability. In fact, sending troops to North Korea was not the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month on Zhu Yinglong's intelligence. To be precise, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The real situation was five days ahead of schedule. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Later Jin garrison in Yizhou and other places, he secretly entered and launched an attack. The day when the attack was launched was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Because there was no way to hide it anymore.

Within one day of the war, North Korea lost a large area of ​​land bordering the Later Jin Dynasty. Within three days, eight prefectures and counties in northern Korea had already fallen into the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty. Pyongyang, one of the three capitals, was surrounded by the Later Jin army and was expected to be destroyed within three or five days. Once Pyongyang was captured, all the northern part of North Korea would fall into the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty. The first battle won, Huang Taiji, who was still a little worried about this plan, took a reassurance. He first sent someone to commend his son, and then sent Dorgon's brothers to lead a 10,000 army to reinforce Haoge.

The key is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, which is the most unpredictable thing about Huang Taiji. In the Wanli Korean War, the Aisin Gioro family had just risen between the white mountains and black waters. If the Ming court had not sent troops to North Korea, North Korea might have been destroyed long ago. That war had been fought for several years. The result of the defeat of the side was Tokugawa Ieyasu replaced Toyotomi Hideyoshi who started the war. If the Ming court sent troops to North Korea, he would not have been replaced like Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Sometimes he really envied Zhu You

Although there are many people who are qualified to compete for the throne with him, there are not one person who has the ability to compete for the throne with him. The babies and eunuchs in the cradle are not counted. Even if he did something wrong, the emperor would still do it. At least for a long time, no one could shake his status, but he could not do it himself. Having a capable father, although he has become a thing of the past, he has indeed given birth to many brothers with extraordinary abilities, and controlling these brothers is quite laborious.

A sound came from the smoky swing. Huang Taiji remembered that there was a woman lying beside him, his great concubine Jin Zhezhe.

"What are you doing when you sit up? Be careful of catching a cold." Huang Taiji was seriously ill. Zhezhe served him every day. Although this great concubine was not the most beautiful among all concubines, the feeling was the strongest. Therefore, when he was not at ease or had any worries, he liked to come to Zhezhe, because Zhezhe's greatest advantage was that he never asked why he was worried. He just cared about him silently and gave him the greatest gentleness and considerate. There were countless beauties offered to him by various Mongolian tribes, and he loved him a lot, but no woman could replace Zhezhe.

Zhezhe put on a coat, hugged his man from behind, and whispered: "I don't know what you are thinking, but I know you can do things that everyone in the world cannot do! Because you are my man."

"Zhezhe!" Huang Taiji stared at such clear and bright eyes in the darkness, and called out affectionately. He found that after hearing this sentence, a surge of heroism suddenly arose in his heart. All doubts and concerns disappeared in this sentence "Because you are my man".

"Khan." Zhezhe loved such a man deeply, and no man on the grassland could compare to him.

"Khan, my brother mentioned something to me a few days ago."

"What's the matter?" Huang Taiji frowned slightly. Zhezhe never interfered in military and political affairs.

"My brother also has a daughter, Bumubutai's sister, named Hailanzhu. Now my niece, Bumubutai, has been missing for almost three years. My brother means to send Hailanzhu to the palace to serve the Khan. Look..." Although Zhezhe's beauty is not good among the women in Huang Taiji's harem, and he is getting older, naturally there are no young and beautiful girls who attract men, especially those who are possessive like Huang Taiji. He wishes to take the most beautiful woman in the world into his harem. In addition to this is a political marriage, there is another very important reason. Although Bumubutai, who is born beautiful, must be a beautiful woman who is charming for a few years. By that time, Zhezhe happened to pass the golden age of women. For himself, for himself,

With the Borjigiet family, it is necessary to consolidate Huang Taiji's favor. Moreover, when he did not choose Hai Lanzhu, which was already beautiful, he also had a little selfish desire from Zhezhe. Hai Lanzhu is not only a beautiful estimate, but also very outstanding talent. If Hai Lanzhu married at that time, she might not have her status, so she chose Bu Mu Butai, who was much younger, and thought she could control her niece, but unfortunately she disappeared. The situation now is different. There are many beauties in Huang Taiji's harem, and all races have them, and there is only one family. Although it is the title of the Great Concubine, it is also a matter of destruction. If Hai Lanzhu is led in, with her wisdom and beauty, she will definitely be extremely favored by Huang Taiji. At that time, can the niece still compete with her aunt for the position of the Great Concubine?

It is not a lie to say that he is not moved. Huang Taiji has long heard of Hai Lanzhu's wisdom and beauty. Although Korqin Mongolia mainly regards him, he cannot force others to enter the palace. After all, Hai Lanzhu is still his junior. However, with Bumu Butai's example, it is not an obstacle in the eyes of the Jurchens. Among the Later Jin Dynasty, there are many men who are interested in Hai Lanzhu. If Hai Lanzhu enters the palace, it is equivalent to suggesting that Korqin Mongolia will fully support him. How can Huang Taiji not know such a good thing? It's just that in front of Zhezhe, he cannot express too much joy and said, "You are the great concubine, what do you think?"

"Me?" Zhezhe said in surprise. She obviously would not express her opinion. Although her brother had this plan, she did not make this decision. The political situation in the Later Jin Dynasty was a bit subtle. On the surface, he was led by Huang Taiji, but in fact there were still many mountains. Hai Lanzhu was waiting for the name of the boudoir, which was a powerful weapon in Zhesang Beile's hands. How could he use it easily before the situation was clear? In fact, Zhezhe's own wishful thinking was three-point.

Fortunately, there was no lamp light, otherwise Huang Taiji would have seen something from Zhezhe's eyes. Now he just thought she was a little surprised. Marrying a wife and taking concubines was a man's business. As long as he did not break the etiquette and law, even a wife could not interfere.

"Then, if your brother does have this intention, then Ben Khan will choose a date to marry Hai Lanzhu into the palace." Of course, the beauty is better for Huang Taiji. If this beauty can bring more help to herself, that would be even better.
