Zeng Yuanxun grabbed both sides of the blood coat with both hands and opened it flatly.
The words on the bloody clothes are not very pretty, and there are not too many. You can read them all with just a few glances.
"Hey, there is another assistant minister!" Liu Heng said with emotion after reading the content on the blood coat.
Yang Yuan on the side said: "This blood edict is enough to prove that Zhu Youjian is not willing to lose the throne. As long as there is a chance, this person will definitely find a way to escape from Peking and go to Nandu."
"This is not a normal thing." Liu Heng said with a smile, "Although the center of power in the Ming Dynasty has moved to Yingtian Mansion, it cannot change the fact that Zhu Youjian was once the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If I were in his position, I would definitely want to Go south and continue to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Yang Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Master, do you mean to keep this person?"
"He is more useful alive than dead. Killing him will actually help the current pseudo-Ming." Liu Heng said, and then waved his hand, signaling Zeng Yuanxun to put away the blood edict.
Zeng Yuanxun put away the blood edict and stepped aside.
Yang Yuan said: "He is lucky to have met such an open-minded person as my lord. If it had been anyone else, their family would have been killed long ago."
"Let's not talk about him." Liu Heng asked, "Now that you have obtained this blood edict, has the one with the blood edict also fallen into the hands of your Foreign Intelligence Agency?"
Yang Yuan replied: "The person was indeed caught. He is a member of Jinyiwei's family."
"Let him go! Return this blood edict to him and ask him to take him back." Liu Heng said, while Zeng Yuanxun waved his hand.
Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked in confusion: "Do you really want to let him go? Are you asking him to take the blood edict back?"
"Yes, let it go. It's good for the Puppet Ming Dynasty to have one more Assistant Minister. Even if Qian Qianyi becomes the Auxiliary Minister, it won't change anything. It will only make the Puppet Ming Dynasty muddy." Liu Heng said in a relaxed tone. said.
The water is too cold and the scalp itches. In his opinion, it will be difficult for such a person to become an assistant minister.
Yang Yuan nodded and said: "When I get back, I will arrange for the release of everyone below."
As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, he would naturally not object to Liu Heng's order to release people. As for giving the Puppet Ming an additional auxiliary minister, it was not a big deal.
Liu Heng reached out and picked up a document from the table, and while flipping through it, he said: "The main task of the Foreign Intelligence Agency is to keep an eye on the Puppet Qing Dynasty. The only one who can really pose a threat to us is the Puppet Qing Dynasty. This time, they are eating in the Liaodong Peninsula. After losing Gaizhou to the Puppet Qing Dynasty, the Puppet Qing Dynasty will definitely accumulate strength and find a way to take it back, and even drive all the power of our Liaodong Peninsula into the sea. The Puppet Qing Dynasty has great ambitions from top to bottom. Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country, it can be seen that He has always wanted to take over the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that we would take the lead, but he will never be so willing to accept his fate, and sooner or later he will launch an attack on us."
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates are personally monitoring the news from Liaodong." Yang Yuan said, "At present, after the Puppet Qing Dynasty experienced a battle on the grassland, its troops have been damaged again and reduced in number. They should not be able to launch any war against us in a short time."
Liu Heng nodded.
The losses of the Manchu and Qing dynasties have only been on the grassland for a few years, and they have not yet recovered. The blue flag and the two white flags have been lost a lot. On the surface, the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's founding strength has increased a lot, but the actual old foundation is not as good as before. .
Liu Heng has his own plans for Liaodong.
Based on the situation in Liaodong, the strength that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties can increase is limited, and it has already reached its limit. Even if it wants to maintain the current situation, it must look elsewhere.
Without the soft persimmon of the Ming Dynasty to be squeezed by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could not obtain nutrients from the Tiger Flag to strengthen themselves, so they could only go downhill.
Therefore, Liu Heng was not in a hurry to start a decisive battle with the Manchus.
The longer time passes, the more detrimental it will be to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but for the Tiger Character Flag, it is constantly strengthening its own heritage.
Although the situation in some places in the provinces occupied by the Tiger Character Banner is still very difficult, coupled with weather problems, food has been in short supply, but the food shortage situation in Liaodong is more serious than in the Tiger Character Banner.
However, Tiger Flag has its own sea transportation and is short of food. It can bring back a shipload of food for ballast from other places through sea channels.
Once the food problem is solved, the local area will naturally stabilize.
Yang Yuan left Qianqing Palace with Zhu Youjian's blood edict.
Zhu Youjian's blood edict was an important item to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but in the case of the Tiger Flag, it was at most used to convict Zhu Youjian of crimes, and it was of little use other than that.
Although Liu Heng did not punish Zhu Youjian, Yang Yuan still made people keep an eye on Zhu Youjian.
If someone comes to Zhu Youjian today to take away a blood edict, there is no guarantee that no one will come to rescue Zhu Youjian in the future. In order to prevent Zhu Youjian from escaping, he specially sent extra personnel to keep an eye on Zhu Youjian's family secretly.
Historically, in the same year, the impact of the Little Glacier was not at its most serious, but the situation in Gansu, Shaanxi and other places was very pessimistic.
The only difference is that the Ming Dynasty in history not only did nothing for these places that were seriously affected by the Little Glacier, but instead increased taxes and forced more and more people to live.
In these places under the governance of the Tiger Character Banner, the people should have food to eat as much as possible. Even if they are not full, they will not starve to death because of lack of food.
If the people are given a chance to live, they will naturally not risk their lives to rebel.
In addition to some areas with insufficient grain production, there are many grain-producing areas under the rule of the Tiger Banner, and without the destruction of the war, many places can barely survive even if the production is insufficient. In addition, the Tiger Banner transfers grain from other places. , the life of the people at the bottom is much better than it was under the Ming Dynasty.
The only place where Tiger Character Banner can stay well fed is in the army.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the tiger-character flag not only ensured the army's food supply, but also the supply of meat and eggs, so that the soldiers in the army had sufficient nutrition and ensured that when facing the Manchu army, they would not suffer from physical deficiencies. This leads to problems with combat effectiveness.
In addition to the army, the second largest supplier is the workshops related to the army opened by Huzi Banner.
These workshops provided huge logistical support for the army.
A firegun is far more complicated than making a knife, and it consumes more energy.
It is precisely because the Tiger Banner has the support of a huge military industry workshop that the Tiger Banner's army has the opportunity to be equipped with powerful firearms.
A huge firearms army is far more expensive and demanding than an ordinary cold weapon army.
Except for the tiger-shaped flag, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Qing Dynasty could afford to support such an army of firearms.
Various arsenals in Tiger Banner are constantly improving and developing various weapons, especially improvements in firearms. Among them, one of the firearms workshops has begun to develop rifled fire guns.
