"Fourth guess?"
Chongzhen seemed to know what Sun Chengzong wanted to say, and said calmly: "Tell me about it!"
"This group of Japanese pirates is a four-party alliance of Japanese pirates, Jiangnan gentry families, Huang Taiji, and the Tokugawa family, each getting what they need!
The Japanese pirates were robbing gold, silver, silks, cloth, weapons and food. What Huang Taiji wanted was to contain the energy of the court.
What Tokugawa wanted was to test the reality of the Ming Dynasty, while the Jiangnan gentry wanted to create trouble, consume the court, and slow down or prevent His Majesty's reforms. "
After Sun Chengzong finished his analysis, he looked to Li Ruolian aside: "Commander Li, are there any people from the Ming Dynasty among the Japanese pirates who were besieged and killed?"
"Mr. Sun Ge, according to the results returned, no Han corpses have been found so far!
The subordinates thought that they would be more careful about colluding with foreign enemies. "
Chongzhen stood up, looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and fell into deep thought.
His impressions of Toyotomi and Tokugawa were obtained from junior high school history textbooks. Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and the Tokugawa family issued a national lockdown order.
However, this lockdown order did not completely cut off contact with the outside world, and would also allow trade with the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands.
Yuan Keli's guess is reasonable. Fusang's mainland area is not large, smaller than Yunnan Province. It is estimated that its population is between 12 million and 1,500.
Agricultural and industrial technologies are backward, and only by invading foreign lands to increase territory can we obtain more resources.
He had no good impression of the Fusang people. He remembered Kangxi once commented: The country of the Fusang people is the most willful. Their people are very humble and do not know the good intentions of the world. They are just intimidated by inaction. Therefore, you cannot Be a little horny about them.
Chongzhen's crude translation just couldn't look good on them.
History has also proved that after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Japanese pirates, Fusang paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years and sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Fusang began to dance.
Therefore, the best arrangement is to beat them until they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty.
The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Second Invasion... events recorded in later history books flashed through Chongzhen's mind, and a hint of coldness and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
It is no longer important whether the Shangyu Japanese pirate incident was arranged by the Fusang Sangchuan family. What is important is that he has the final say, and it is what he says.
Taking this opportunity to frighten Fuso, he even found an opportunity to detonate the Ring of Taiping volcanic belt.
But this thought only passed by for a moment. Without enough navy and warships, it would be impossible to fight across the sea, and logistical supplies would be a problem.
Naval warfare is not land warfare, it is a highly professional war. Without excellent naval commanders and powerful warships, cross-sea warfare will cost lives.
Moreover, Chahar Lindan Khan is now invading the borders of the Ming Dynasty, and there are also Jian Nu who are watching covetously. At this time, sending troops to Fusang and fighting on three fronts can drag down the Ming Dynasty to death.
When the two are settled and there is nothing to worry about, then go find trouble with Fusang.
If he had to set a time target, he would like it to be within five years.
Why is it five years? Because the first five-year plan will be completed five years later. We need money, people, and people's hearts. We can fight whatever we want.
"Yuan Aiqing, Sun Aiqing, I know about this matter. There should be no big problem in a short time. Even if we want to cause trouble for them, we don't have the ability.
The cabinet drafts a decree to the Coast Guard, asking them to step up their precautions. If something similar to Shangyu happens again, I will kill them directly! "
"Draw up another decree to Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, asking him to lead the navy to go to sea, patrol the surrounding waters, find the stronghold of these Japanese pirates, and surround them with superior force!"
The words were full of murderous intent. It was a shame for a Ming Dynasty county seat with so many guard posts nearby to be occupied by hundreds of Japanese pirates and destroying a Sanjiang thousand-household post.
In the final analysis, it is still the inaction of officials.
After Sun Chengzong and the two left, Chongzhen looked at Li Ruolian: "Li Aiqing, I still say the same thing, no matter what method you use, whether it is throwing away money, dealing with sex, assassination or threats,
Before the end of this year, we must complete the infiltration of the Tokugawa family. I want to grasp the latest trends of the Tokugawa shogunate. "
"Second, continue to investigate the invasion of Shangyu Japanese pirates to see if any gentry and wealthy merchants from Jiangnan were involved. I don't believe it. The Japanese pirates would be so familiar!"
"I obey the decree!"
Li Ruolian's heart trembled, knowing that the emperor was angry.
"By the way, is there any news from Jiannu?"
"Your Majesty, not yet. I learned from Amin and Dorgon that they took the army from Shenyang to Longjing Pass for more than 20 days.
And Huang Taiji traveled from Longjing Pass to the Harqin tribe, and then from Harqin back to Shenyang, a distance of nearly 1,500 to 600 miles, and he had to hide himself and let as few people know as possible.
I estimate that I will be able to return to Shenyang at least around the Mid-Autumn Festival. "
"Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Chongzhen repeated it softly.
The news that the Jiannu Union Army was being surrounded and killed was released early. Daishan, who stayed in Shenyang, was fully prepared and waiting for work. Huang Taiji had no power to fight back.
If it is released too late, Daishan will not be able to prepare, and it is very likely that Huang Taiji will directly put him under house arrest.
Neither too early nor too late will lead to a lose-lose situation.
"Do you think Huang Taiji can regain control of Jiannu?"
"Your Majesty, I don't think the problem is big!"
Li Ruolian thought for a while: "First of all, among the Eight Banners of Jiannu, Huang Taiji personally serves as the flag leader of Zhenghuang and Xianghuang.
Both in terms of numbers and combat power, they are the strongest.
Judging from the statistical results of Longjingguan, these two flags only have 10% of the ratio of our own flag, and the other six flags are much higher than the two flags.
Duduo is the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, and Dorgon is the leader of the Xiangbai Banner. Duduo escaped with Huang Taiji. So Huang Taiji has four flags.
I thought that the reason why Huang Taiji took Duoduo with him when he escaped was because he wanted to control Duoduo in order to achieve the righteous white flag of controlling Duoduo.
After all, Duduo is only fourteen years old. Compared with Dorgon and Azig, he has no skill at all. He is also very weak in marching formation and easy to control.
Secondly, after all, Huang Taiji is Nurhachi’s legitimate successor and is known as orthodox.
Coupled with all the previous strategies, the prestige is huge, otherwise it would not be able to suppress the three Baylors such as Mang Gurtai and Amin.
In addition to the four banners, there are Huang Taiji's personal guards and the patrols in each city. The patrols can be ignored. Although the number of the personal guards is less than three thousand, they are extremely powerful.
Even if Daishan has the support of the Three Banners of Amin, Mang Gurtai, Azig and others, it is not his own after all. In a hurry, there will be problems such as lack of tacit cooperation, dissatisfaction, etc., and his combat power will be compromised. ,
But with the support of the wise Saharian, it is estimated that this can be made up for.
Therefore, I thought that if Daishan was given a chance to prepare, and the two really wanted to fight, they might both lose. "
