He actually caught a military advisor who was losing all his money.
Of course Zhu Heji knew the name of the military advisor Shui Guang. Both Yousi and Jinyiwei of the Military Advisor's Office had reported it to him. Huang Zhisheng, who was currently serving as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, also told Zhu Heji about this resourceful but "unlucky" military advisor. Zhou Peigong.
It would definitely be inappropriate to kill such a military advisor who had lost all his power... because Zhou Peigong was not alone, but had a group. He was the founder of Confucianism and had been the leader of Confucianism for a long time. He was a member of the Confucian group. Core think tank.
If Zhu Heji had people kill Zhou Peigong, it would not only allow other Confucian leaders who went to the Western Regions to fight against the Ming Dynasty to the end, but also eliminate their suspicion of transparency.
If Zhu Heji did not kill Zhou Peigong, what would Kangxi Khan think? It turns out that the reason for losing the military commander is not bad luck, but because he is in the Qing (Mongolian) camp and has a bright mind! Next, Kangxi will definitely become suspicious of other Confucian leaders and even all Han followers of Confucianism. In this way, there will be a rift between the Great Mongolia of Kangxi Khan and the Western Qing Kingdom controlled by Confucian disciples, and it will be a matter of time before the Great Mongolia falls apart.
Once Kangxi Khan's Great Mongolia lost the territory of the Western Qing Dynasty, Great Mongolia's "master supply chain" in Central Asia would be broken, and his territory in India would be in a dilemma without a master available.
And if Kangxi Khan sent troops to Central Asia... Looking at Indian history, the record of India's Northern Expedition to Central Asia is really terrible!
Therefore, it is definitely more appropriate to keep Zhou Peigong than to kill him.
But this "compensation strategist" can't throw it into his hands... What can we do if the Ming Dynasty loses everything?
In addition, I don’t know if he is willing to commit suicide and die in Mongolia? If he must die, no one else can stop him! So it would not be bad if he could commit suicide at his home in Dengzhou or Jinzhou after being released.
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji said to Burni: "Burni, give this military advisor a break."
"Yes, quickly, loosen it quickly!" Burni quickly ordered the men who were escorting the "Penissance Military Advisor" to loosen the rope.
Of course Zhou Peigong knew that loosening ties usually meant not killing. If you want to kill, just take him out and kill him with a knife. I have never heard of him being tied up with a rope and then taken out to kill. So as soon as he was untied, he quickly knelt down in front of Zhu Heji, kowtowed and said, "The sinner Zhou Peigong thanks the Ming Emperor for not killing him. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Is this a long live shout? Why are bones so soft?
Zhu Heji frowned and said to himself: "If you say something like 'kill me if you want to kill me', maybe I will change my mind and fulfill your loyalty."
"Zhou Peigong," Zhu Heji asked again in a cold voice, "are you willing to serve me, the Ming Dynasty?"
In fact, Zhu Heji was just being polite. He actually didn't want to hire this "disgraced military advisor", just to show that he was a polite and virtuous corporal. As long as Zhou Peigong said, "A loyal minister will not serve the two masters," Zhu Heji would immediately send him as far away as possible.
But Zhou Peigong was immediately moved by Zhu Heji's courtesy and corporal, and quickly kowtowed again: "I am willing to serve the Holy Emperor and serve the Ming Dynasty to the death!"
Are you going to sell yourself out?
Zhu Heji frowned even more tightly, it's all because of his bad mouth! Why did you recruit this "expense-stricken military advisor"? No, we can't let him ruin the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Or else we should set up a good job of "tasting the crane crown red"?
Just when I thought of this, Anukodun had already spoken: "Your Majesty, why not let him go to the New World with Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu. Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu Although they are brave and good at fighting, they have no ability to govern the country. If you still want to build a city on the west coast of the New World, then they will be even more powerless."
Sent to the United States?
This is a solution!
Zhu Hexin said: "Let him go among the first batch. If the bad luck has not turned around, it will not harm a few people. If he is no longer plagued by bad luck, he can still play a lot in the New World with his abilities." It’s very useful. After all, no one with the same level as him would be willing to go to the New World! Although Zhou Qiuguang is unlucky, he is very capable, not only good at civil and military skills, but also full of bad habits... No matter Whether it's an American Indian or a white man from New Spain, I'm afraid it doesn't matter."
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji looked at Zhou Peigong and said, "Zhou Peigong, are you willing to go to the New World to explore?"
"Yes, I am willing!" How dare Zhou Peigong say no? He was the great military advisor who discovered "Anti-Jing" and was later responsible for revising "Anti-Jing". Strictly speaking, he was also a great Confucian. How can you not know the most basic observation of words and expressions? Zhu Heji's face was not very good-looking. This was because he disliked his reputation as a "soldier". So he had to cherish this opportunity, otherwise he would have to die if he wanted me to.
"Okay then!" Zhu Heji nodded, "Since you are not afraid of dangerous storms at sea, then take your retainers and retainers and go to the New World together... The ship to the New World has been prepared for a long time. You can land on land at any time! Zhou Peigong, when do you plan to leave?"
Zhu Heji's plan to colonize the United States has been prepared for many years. Now there is a springboard, Dongfeng, and troubles in Europe. The two imperialists, England and the Netherlands, have also gone to India to engage in zero-dollar purchases. It can be said that everything is ready, except for the immigration of the "American generation".
"In May," Zhou Peigong said, "I am willing to sail across the sea and go east to the New World on the day when the flowers bloom in May!"
Mayflower?
Zhu Heji's eyes lit up, there was something going on!
"May?" Anukdon asked, "It's only the second day of April. Do you have to prepare for it for a month?"
In fact, according to Zhu Heji's plan, the captured Junggar people will also need a long period of rectification before they can be sent to the New World one after another - of course not all of them will go, because some of them are Sengge's old tribes and have to be returned to Cewang Alabutan, and part of it will be sent to the leadership of Anu, which can be regarded as the inner circle of Zhu Celing and Sebuten Baljuer. Although some of them will go to the New World in the future, they will not be the first ones. Instead, they will go there in batches after Zhou Peigong and his group have established a foothold in the New World.
The remaining people will not be shipped out immediately. They will have to be vaccinated with variola and recuperate before they can cross the ocean and become Americans. It’s already very soon to be able to set off in May.
At this time, Zhou Peigong explained again: "Mrs. America doesn't know something. The reason why I want to leave in May is because I have to wait for two helpers to go on the road together."
"Two helpers?" Zhu Heji asked, "Who?"
"Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing." Zhou Peigong said, "Li Guangdi was a Confucian boss, and now he is the chief leader of the Confucian Southern Secret Hall. Chen Tingjing's family was originally a wealthy businessman in Shanxi. He was a Jinshi in the 15th year of Shunzhi. Before Kangxi fled westward, he had become an official. He became a bachelor of the cabinet and joined Confucianism. The false Holy Duke thought he was in the way, so he made him the chief master of the Confucian Northern Secret Hall. With the help of these two people, I will definitely be able to make contributions to the court and the Holy Emperor in the New World. Create new territories!”
Zhou Peigong was handing in a certificate... He said he was asking Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing to help, but in fact he was selling the Confucian North and South Dark Hall to Zhu Heji!
Although the activities of Confucianism will not stop just because the two main halls were destroyed, a snake cannot move without a head. Without the command of the main hall, the activities of Confucianism in Han Dynasty will be greatly reduced.
"Okay!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "The governor of Jinyiwei is in the army. If you tell him where they live, he will naturally send Tiqi to invite them."
Of course Zhu Heji knew the names of Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing. Even if he hadn't heard of it in his previous life, he knew about these two people's Ming Dynasty in this life from the reports sent by Confucianism, Jinyiwei, and Yousi of the Military Advisor's Office.
Such a wicked person must be recruited and recruited to join the gang, one wicked person and two gangs! With these three villains, plus the Dzungarian warriors led by Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu who are responsible for killing people, the matter of opening up the new continent should be a sure thing.
