"good!"
After Chen Qian responded, he turned around and walked down the city gate tower.
On top of the city gate tower, Xiong Wencan stood at the crenel and looked at the dense flow of people at the ferry in the distance, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He said to himself: "If you cannot seize such a good opportunity, you would be too stupid, but don't let me down!"
"Everything is ready now, all we need is an edict."
After finishing talking to himself, his eyes stared blankly in the direction of Beijing.
One day later, Ren Peng's urgent memorial was sent to Dongnuan Pavilion.
Looking at Ren Peng's memorial, Chongzhen's anger rose. He really didn't expect that Fusang had penetrated the Ming Dynasty to this extent. Fusang was determined to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the chief secretaries only have intermediary contacts and do not know the specific information about each other.
This made him very powerless, and he immediately reacted: "Since you want to destroy Taizu's imperial mausoleum, they must be lurking around Nanjing City, so let's alert them."
"Li Ruolian, ask the Jinyi Guard to send an order to Chen Qian, the commander of the Yanshan Guard, to find the Japanese pirates lurking around Nanjing City, and ask the Xiaoling Guard to strictly guard the Taizu Imperial Tomb.
Inform Yi Peng not to come back for the time being and to go to Fengyang to check and find out the specific situation! "
"Chen Zun..."
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent and secret letter from Anjiang Governor Xiong Wencan for six hundred miles!"
Before Li Ruolian could finish his response, Wang Chengen's voice sounded again. Li Ruolian, who was about to salute, rushed over, took the secret letter, and began to translate.
As the code was deciphered, the serious face of Li Ruolian slowly melted away, and he seemed to be happy: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is a solution to the Japanese pirates in Jiangsu!"
"Let me take a look!"
Chongzhen also stood up and took over the deciphered secret message. In just a moment, his face was filled with smiles and the depression in his heart disappeared.
"Send a message to Xiong Aiqing. He has full authority over this matter and can mobilize all the forces in Anhui and Jiangsu.
In addition, Yuan Aiqing was notified of the matter and asked him to draft an edict to adjust the Nanjing Navy to cooperate with this plan. "
"I obey the decree!"
Li Ruolian left in a hurry, and half an hour later, the edict with Chongzhen's expectations was rushed to Nanjing at a speed of 600 miles.
In just three and a half days, they crossed two thousand miles and rushed into Nanjing.
While the people were waiting curiously, an edict was posted on the notice walls at the entrances of various government offices and municipalities in Nanjing.
"Okay, okay, okay... finally do it!"
"Damn it, kill these bastards who occupy our territory and show off their power. Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty before?"
"Young man, don't worry about yourself. Read what's written on it for us too?"
"Sir, I won't read it anymore. The general meaning is that the imperial court is preparing to attack the Dutch and Spanish navies stationed in Taiwan.
Our Xinjiangkou division along the coast is going south for reinforcements, gathering superior forces to completely destroy the Netherlands and Spain.
Finally, we are reminded to the people along the coast not to take advantage of this time to go to the sea, so as not to give the Japanese pirates an opportunity.
Hmm... Also, the edict predicts that this time will be within three months. Those who do not listen to the advice will be responsible for their own life and death. "
"Three months is just three months. I don't care anymore after waiting for so long!"
"This edict is interesting. The court is preparing to make big moves!"
"What do you mean? What action?"
"You are stupid. Why does the imperial court want to attack the Netherlands and Spain? And it is at this juncture, because these two are always eyeing the Ming Dynasty, and they are on good terms with Fusang.
Now cripple this one first, then Ming Dynasty can take action against Fusang!
Otherwise, when the three navies unite to attack the Ming Navy, how can the Ming army transport troops and supplies across the sea? "
"Eh...that makes sense. You scholars are better off with your brains."
"Once we attack Fusang, it will be time for Fusang to destroy the country. Once Fusang destroys the country, the Japanese pirates lurking in the Ming Dynasty will be completely rootless. It will only be a matter of time to find them sooner or later!"
"As long as Fusang is eliminated, our chief secretaries along the coast who are invaded by Japanese pirates will need money for money, food for food, and people for people!"
"Kill Fuso!"
"Kill Fuso!"
…
The discussion in front of the notice wall slowly converged into "Slaughter Fusang", and the sound was loud, crossing the city wall and spreading into the distance.
Amid the discussions among the people, all the scouts stationed in Nanjing City and trained by the Yanshan Guards quietly dispersed into Nanjing City and surrounding prefectures.
It is not only to collect intelligence, but also to prevent the final attack and killing by Japanese pirates.
…
Among the densely packed merchant ships at Nanjing Ferry, several people gathered on an old medium-sized merchant ship.
"Everyone, the Ming Dynasty has started to attack Spain and the Netherlands, and Fuso will be next. Tell us your thoughts!"
"I think we must first destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial mausoleum, cut off their dragon veins, and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!"
"I think so too. No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is, it will be a cross-sea battle after all, and we must gather the strength of Fuso to fight against it. This kind of war will never end in three to five years.
As long as there is no dragon vein protection, they will have problems, and we will have a chance to breathe! "
"Although this kind of solution can be achieved once and for all, it can't quench the thirst of the people far away. The war is imminent, millions of troops will be mobilized, and military pay, food, military supplies, etc. are all in urgent need!"
"It's normal to be short of food and military supplies, but how can there be a shortage of military pay? How can you think about military pay in this kind of war to destroy the country?"
"Are you mentally ill? If all the people in Fusang had this idea, they would have defeated the Ming Dynasty long ago. Do you expect ordinary people to give without reservation? It may be better for them to change their rulers."
"Yes, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that is right. If there is no profit, there will be brave men. The incentive of money is obviously different."
…
"Everyone, listen to me. Now the Ming Army's Xinjiangkou Division has moved south, which means we can sneak out.
Nowadays, there are more and more Jin Yiwei along the coast. We have lost more than ten of them in the past month. If this continues, sooner or later the whole army will be annihilated. There are only three ways in front of us.
The first is to sneak back to Fusang; the second is to go completely crazy and directly slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty, and finally give the Ming Dynasty a blow; the third is to attack the imperial mausoleum head-on and destroy the dragon veins. "
Everyone looked solemn and slowly thought about the pros and cons of the three paths.
"There is no use in killing the people of the Ming Dynasty. At most, it will increase some hatred. There are 200 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of several thousand people."
"It is even more impossible to attack the imperial mausoleum head-on. With the Xiaoling Guards here, as soon as they find us asking for help, the garrison in the city will arrive in a quarter of an hour. Don't you think that the Xiaoling Guards can't hold on for even a quarter of an hour?"
"Smuggle yourself back and fight with Ming soldiers on the battlefield. Killing one Ming soldier is more important than killing ten Ming people."
"Zawaki...boss, what do you think?"
Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, the boss thought for a moment: "Choose none of the three, choose the fourth way!"
