This time, Chongzhen and Yuan Keli looked solemn.
Yuan Keli may not know it, but as a person of later generations, the Treaty of Nerchinsk, which must be learned in history textbooks, took place in the seventeenth century.
He forgot the exact year, but it was definitely the seventeenth century.
Calculating time, that is to say, within fifty or sixty years, the Rakshasa Kingdom must have annexed the Chergis tribe and the Buryat tribe, because only by annexing these two tribes can the Rakshasa territory extend to Heilongjiang.
In the following two hundred years, many treaties were signed, and at least 14.5 million square kilometers of territory were included in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
"Damn it, Daming is really a piece of fat. There are people from every direction who are thinking about it and want to pounce on it and take a bite. Since you want to take a bite, let me test whether your teeth are strong enough!"
After thinking about it, Chongzhen snorted coldly in his heart, and a murderous intention flashed across his face: "I haven't reached the banks of the Onan River and drank in the vast sea of horses, but Rakshasa is thinking about me, the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian tribes are too complicated, and we don't know much about the Rakshasa Kingdom. The Rakshasa Kingdom will not pose a threat to us in the short term, but it may threaten us in the future.
I think we should take this matter in three steps. First, wait and see. After the news comes out that we have defeated the Jiannu coalition forces, cleared the caves of the Jiannu plowing court, and the Eastern Mongolian tribes have surrendered, we will look at Transkarkha. The movements of other departments,
If they can take the initiative to surrender, that's all. If they continue to go their own way, wait until the Eastern Mongolian tribes are integrated before sending out troops.
The second step is to ask Tulu Baihu and Bushitu to send people into these departments to find out the actual situation.
The third step is to form a caravan and enter the Rakshasa Kingdom. I remember that in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Rakshasa sent envoys to the mutual market in Xuanfu. It is not out of the ordinary for us to form a caravan. "
"After this matter returns to Beijing, Yuan Aiqing will discuss it with the six cabinet ministries and decide on a strategy!"
Chongzhen directly accepted Yuan Keli's suggestion.
Without him, because Liaodong, North Korea, and Eastern Mongolia have just been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they need to be completely controlled before they can be unified to the outside world. If they take too big a step, it will easily lead to trouble. He understands this truth.
"Turubaihu, go get ready first!"
After listening to the emperor's words, Tulu Baihu bowed and exited the hall.
Chongzhen stared at the map for a while and then sighed. He really didn't have much idea about Rakshasa. It was extremely cold. What was he doing here?
The drought in the Ming Dynasty will become more and more serious in the future, and the small glacier climate will also gradually worsen.
If we have the time and energy, wouldn't it be better to defeat Siam, Annam, Tianzhu, Luzon, etc., which have three crops of food a year?
But Ming was worried about the Rakshasa Kingdom, which forced him to take action.
Seeing Chongzhen's brows furrowed, Yuan Keli poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and whispered comforting words: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. With our firearms, as long as the Rakshasa Kingdom dares to come, we can directly destroy them!"
"Haha... Yuan Aiqing's words make sense!"
Chongzhen took the tea cup and smiled, his eyes full of confidence.
To rejuvenate the country through science and technology, as long as he maintains continuous investment and attention in several major research institutes such as firearms and industry, no matter how many enemies come, he will reward them all with 10,000 flying thunder cannons.
The two returned to the round table, drank tea slowly, and reviewed the arrangement just now. Chongzhen said coldly: "Yuan Aiqing, this choice of Yuan Chonghuan is somewhat interesting!"
Chongzhen chuckled: "I thought he was reluctant to give up his power in the military and chose to be the capital of Liaodong. Unexpectedly, he chose to serve as the Zuobu envoy to Liaodong."
"This is his cleverness. First, he knows that there is no war in the Northeast, and military generals can only be used as decorations.
Secondly, His Majesty beat him last year, and he already knew that His Majesty was not happy, and there were many rumors. If he holds military power, it would be too easy for him to be suspected.
It's better to be the chief envoy. After becoming a civil servant, you can go further in the future. "
When Yuan Keli said this, his eyes were full of hope: "To be honest, this is also a good thing for him. The work of the chief envoy is complicated, messy, and numerous. If he can use this to temper his bossy, confident, and irritable temperament, character,
Coupled with the overall situation of governing a province, I might actually become a handsome man in the future, which will be a blessing to me in the Ming Dynasty. "
"I hope so!"
Chongzhen said lightly that he hoped so.
In this way, we can get through the gap period of talent shortage.
After talking about Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen whispered again: "Yuan Aiqing, there should be no problem with Mao Wenlong's arrangement like this!"
Chongzhen asked in a low voice, his eyes full of confusion.
Some people in later generations said that Mao Wenlong was the emperor of the island, monopolizing military and political power, with tens of thousands of people serving him;
Some people say that it is the Great Wall on the sea, hanging alone overseas, containing the Jiannu army, preventing the Jiannu from attacking the Guanning defense line with all its strength;
…
In short, it has everything to say, with mixed praise and praise.
But in his position, no matter how much credit Mao Wenlong had, just lying about his military exploits and embezzling military pay were intolerable.
But he could not deny that it was a great contribution to contain the slaves before and after the opening of Dongjiang Town. Otherwise, even if the Guanning Defense Line could be built, there would be huge losses.
He is not Taizu, so he cannot be so cold-blooded and ruthless. In addition, he was successful in the battle just now, so this is the best way to deal with it.
The most important thing is that with the current strength of the imperial court, it is not afraid of anyone's rebellion.
Seeing the confusion in the emperor's eyes, Yuan Keli immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate. Although Mao Wenlong is arrogant, he is definitely a rare general.
Otherwise, I would not have strongly recommended him and helped him open Dongjiang Town.
Although there are various evil deeds, especially the rumored collaboration with the enemy, Jinyiwei has been investigating for so long and there is no substantial evidence.
He made many mistakes, but it cannot be denied that he served the Ming Dynasty. If he dealt with it rashly, the generals below would also be prone to problems.
Your Majesty has already beaten him, let's see if he can understand.
If the list of North Korean governors provided are all close associates, then don't blame His Majesty for not giving him a chance! "
At this point, Yuan Keli's face tightened and he said coldly: "As for those cronies, it depends on their own performance. If they are stubborn, don't blame us for coming to liquidate them!"
…
The two of them reviewed it slowly, while the protagonist they mentioned was sitting in the camp outside the city, writing something, one after another.
If everyone in the lobby had seen it just now, they would have recognized that the content on the paper was exactly what the emperor and Yuan Keli said.
After writing more than a dozen pieces of paper, Mao Wenlong thought about each word from beginning to end, his expression changing from time to time.
I don't know how long it took for him to completely come to his senses and shouted outside the tent: "Come here, the generals are here to discuss matters!"
