385 didn't add fuel to the fire

When the messenger saw the emperor, he hurried over, holding the next long barrel in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Dongjiang Town is eight hundred miles away, Jianyu has a large-scale raid on Korea, and Governor Lu asks for help." ”

Emperor Chongzhen never expected that this eight-hundred-mile rush turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng's letter for help. Haha, that's the best, that's fine!

He was relieved, but the courtiers standing behind him were anxious when they heard it. Seeing that Shoufu Xue Guoguan immediately bowed down and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, North Korea and my Ming Dynasty are facing each other across the sea, and Governor Lu's letter for help is a little late, I don't know when it happened?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, North Korea has finally returned to my Ming Dynasty." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also followed suit, "If I don't save the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is likely to be annexed by Jianyu." ”

When it comes to military affairs, of course, the secretary of the military department also has to speak: "Your Majesty, the number of troops on Governor Lu's side is only about 7,000, and if Jianyu invades Korea on a large scale, it will definitely be difficult to stop Jianguo's offensive with a few men." North Korea is in danger! ”

“……”

Listening to their performance, looking at the appearance that there were still courtiers who wanted to speak, Emperor Chongzhen took the piece that had been presented to him in his hand, and was not in a hurry to open it, but smiled slightly: "The matter of North Korea, I have solved it, it's okay." ”

After finishing speaking, he patted the piece in his hand, glanced at it for a moment, and then smiled again and said, "That's all there is to it, then it's nothing." ”

Hearing his words, everyone who heard him speak couldn't help but be stunned.

Things related to the emperor always surprise them, and they are about to become accustomed to being stunned!

In their minds, North Korea is far away on the side of Haide, and even Governor Lu's 800-mile expedited has just been delivered, so why does the emperor believe that the Korean war is no longer a cause for concern and has been solved by him?

Thinking so, this time, it was Xue Guoguan who asked: "The eight hundred miles of urgency have just arrived, how did Your Majesty know about it, and then solve it so quickly?" ”

This question is also what other people want to know, because they can't figure it out, so they all look at Emperor Chongzhen and want to hear any reasonable explanation?

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was not stumped by this question, and said to Xue Guoguan by the way: "This is actually very easy to guess. Think about it, how many years have passed since the last time Jianyu entered the customs? Are the supplies they plundered almost exhausted? Without the Jin merchants to give them blood transfusions, Liaodong is so barren, they want enough grain and grass materials, is it only from North Korea to find a way? This is one of them! ”

"Second, Lu Qing's Dongjiang Army has gained a foothold in Liaodong, which seriously threatens Jianlu's flank, and Jianguo will definitely want to eliminate Lu Qing's troops. And the best way, of course, is to attract Lu Qing to go ashore and fight a decisive battle with the main force of Jianyu. Therefore, if Jianyu sends troops to North Korea and creates a situation, it will destroy North Korea. Then the North Korean side must ask for reinforcements, except for the Dongjiang Army to rescue, there is no other force available......"

Afterthought, everyone can talk about it.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to expose the eavesdropping system, of course, even if he said it, others wouldn't believe it. Therefore, he let them go as an afterthought and surprise them.

“…… I guessed that Jianyu would definitely leave a big city without falling, and then the troops would be able to deal with Lu Qing's troops, so Lu Qing would definitely go to the rescue. If what I expected, the place I chose is probably Pyongyang City! ”

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's eloquent speech, many people nodded when they heard it, and felt that the emperor's reasoning was very reasonable.

However, in the end, some people were more sober, listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, and the military department Shangshu finally asked his doubts: "Then how does Your Majesty know when Jianyu will start the war?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is very simple!" Suddenly, Jianyu wanted to talk to Daming about King De, and he didn't talk about it early or late, and suddenly he started talking about it. I knew that Jianyu was definitely going to do something to North Korea. Therefore, I want to use this trick to stabilize Guan Ning's side. ”

"I see!" When the prince heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Therefore, my father decided to take the requisition in person and use ...... used the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao and saved North Korea? ”

As the crown prince, he has heard a lot of stories, so he naturally knows the story of Wei Wei and saving Zhao. At this time, I could just use it to show off, so I said it immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, smiled and nodded: "Yes, it seems that the prince's homework is not wasted!" ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately felt joy in his heart and was praised by his father!

The prince reminded that others followed this line of thought and thought about it one more layer.

I saw that the secretary of the military department also suddenly realized: "In this way, Your Majesty has thrown tens of thousands of Jianguo's heads all over Liaodong, creating a situation of a large army attacking Liaodong, therefore, the main force of Jianguo has to return to help, and the crisis of Korea will be solved?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said in his heart, you are so smart, you have sorted things out for me, and you don't have to bother talking.

Empress Zhou and those who are qualified to stand and hear the conversation recently are all high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, Liubu Jiuqing, etc., they sorted out all the conversations in their hearts, and suddenly, they couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen in their hearts.

There are some things that they may be able to guess one or two, but they definitely can't guess the truth behind so many things with such certainty as Emperor Chongzhen. What is Discernment? That's the way to see what happened! Also, after the emperor can deduce the truth of the matter from these clues, he can decisively lead the three major battalions to the battle, how decisive this kind of decision must be, only the emperor has this ability!

Thinking about these things, even civil officials who have been up and down in the officialdom for many years and have cultivated to perfection have to be secretly frightened. I warned myself in my heart not to fool the emperor, otherwise, with the emperor's current ability, he would definitely be able to find out. At that time, the emperor led his troops to fight and killed an unknown number of people, and he was convicted several times before for plotting against his family, etc., which is enough to show that the emperor is not soft-hearted, but an iron-blooded emperor!

They don't know that these things are based on the known results, and they start to infer what happened before. Therefore, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen is clever and wise, and he can deduce the truth of the matter from all kinds of clues.

If there was no eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen would be able to deduce that there would be ghosts based on these messages alone. Even if he had doubts, it would be impossible to decisively send troops to respond. In case the inference was wrong, it was a headlong collision into Jianyu's arms.

However, now all these impossibilities have become too wise for Emperor Chongzhen, and ordinary people can't guess or do it. Who doesn't admire it, who doesn't revere Emperor Chongzhen!

After standing and talking for a while, it was time to pretend that everything was already pretended, and Emperor Chongzhen drove back to the palace.

As soon as he left, the words that Emperor Chongzhen said to the crown prince, as well as his judgment of the matter and the actions he took, immediately spread among the officials. Officials who were far away and couldn't hear got specific information from those who heard it. Subsequently, the conversations between the officials, as well as between the officials and their subordinates, were inevitably known to more people, and in the end, these things spread among the people of Beijing.

It can be said that at this time, outside the capital city, all the topics of millions of people were revolving around Emperor Chongzhen's imperial conquest.

"Didn't the good news say that tens of thousands of Jianyu were destroyed in World War I? I have worshiped my father and mother, so that they can be comforted by the spirit of heaven and knowledge, but what about this head? ”

"That's right, I'm also waiting for this head, wondering if I can use the money to buy one and make it into a urinal after I go home and worship!"

“……”

The army has already entered the city of Jingshi, but there is no head of the car, and the people of Jingshi are even a little suspicious when they see this.

"It can't be a false report of military exploits, right? However, this was issued by the emperor, and the court also announced it? ”

"Yes, it shouldn't be fake, otherwise, this is the biggest scandal in my Ming Dynasty!"

"It shouldn't have been snatched back by Jianyu, just like before. It's also strange to say, the war on Guan Ning's side, always kills how many enemies, and as a result, he doesn't even see a head, this has become a routine, and now even the emperor is like this, is it really an evil door? ”

“……”

Just when they were a little skeptical, the truth of the matter spread little by little.

"You are so bold that you dare to doubt the emperor? I can't bear it, so I want to say something, it's really a frog at the bottom of the well! ”

"Say what? Tens of thousands of Jianjiao, it wasn't destroyed in a war, and the Jianjiao didn't escape, who robbed the corpse? Tell me, where did the head go? ”

"Tell you the truth, right? The emperor used those first-level actions to surround Wei to save Zhao, do you understand? Without these heads, how can there be a lot of fanfare? Attract the main forces of Jianyu back from North Korea! ”

"What do you mean, how is the main force of Jianyu?"

"Didn't you see the eight-hundred-mile rush just now? It was a request for help sent back by Lord Lu, the governor of Baoding, from Liaodong, and the main force of Jianlu invaded Korea on a large scale, and a little bit of people from Lord Lu alone could not resist the main force of Jianlu. However, the emperor had already expected it, and decisively sent troops, so that only this imperial expedition could be carried out in person, and only then could he besiege Wei and save Zhao ......"

As the people who already knew the news began to show off, Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and skillful skills were once again deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen's original words, in the process of spreading again and again, inevitably changed a little, exaggerated a little, and even in the mouths of a few people who like to play tricks, they relied on their own imagination to add oil and vinegar to say it, which is even more exaggerated.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen became suddenly restless in the palace, so he pinched his fingers and calculated, even if there was a catastrophe in Korea, Governor Lu also had a catastrophe, so he immediately led his troops to rescue, and these things happened.

Also, why the battle of Tashan was decided in a battle, it was also Emperor Chongzhen pinched his fingers, calculated the breakthrough plan of Jianyu, and then ascended the altar to do it, suddenly, the dense fog was everywhere, the wind and clouds thundered and lightning, and the Jianyu was dizzy, just the combat power, it was directly lowered three layers, and it also hit the ambush circle arranged by the emperor, so that the murderous tens of thousands of Jianyu could be wiped out in one night.

Anyway, later, Emperor Chongzhen has been a little deified by them. All kinds of measures are much more powerful than Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, there is still the defeat of the street pavilion, he has never been able to defeat the Wei State, he can't destroy the Wei State, and the death of the martial saint, Zhuge Liang has not calculated it, let alone burned the company camp.

Of course, there are a small number of people who still have doubts in their hearts and always feel that it is too exaggerated. Although they had witnessed the arrival of the eight-hundred-mile express messenger, these people usually didn't trust others very much, and they were still a little suspicious in their hearts.

If the current mainstream of the Jingshi is praising the wisdom and martial arts of the current emperor, these people will not dare to express the doubts in their hearts, lest they be besieged by others.

Later, from the mouths of the Ming soldiers of the three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, some news came out. The main thing is the details of the Battle of Tasan, and the fact that the emperor did put forward a plan for the Korean war in the military discussion.

This matter is not one, two Ming soldiers said so, but all Ming soldiers said so. In particular, those general soldiers, supervisors and others participated in the military discussion and knew Emperor Chongzhen's battle plan and rescue intentions completely, which can be corroborated from this aspect that Emperor Chongzhen's words outside the city of Beijing before were not exaggerated and lied. As a result, there are even fewer people who have doubts in their hearts.

Jingshi is a metropolis, and people come and go. When someone came to Beijing, they heard about the deeds of Emperor Chongzhen; When someone left Jingshi, they brought Emperor Chongzhen's wisdom and martial arts to other places in the Ming Dynasty. Even some restaurants and teahouses, in order to attract customers, began to comment on the books of Emperor Chongzhen. Of course, this commentary is naturally good, the kind that is more Zhuge Liang than Zhuge Liang, and in terms of literature, he has also begun to slowly deify Emperor Chongzhen.

It was not until Lu Xiangsheng's recital on the summary of the Korean war situation was sent to Beijing that the climax of this matter reached its peak. With such authoritative information as proof, even if there were still people who had doubts before, there was no longer any doubt.

In this way, what Emperor Chongzhen said to the prince at the beginning is no longer an exaggeration, but it really proves that the emperor thinks so, and he has this ability!

"Wait for the day when I will recover the whole of Liaodong. At that time, it is not too late to worship the Taimiao Temple and boast of military achievements! ”

"What is a Jianyu prince, he has arrested the Jianyu puppet emperor one day, and it is not too late to come and sacrifice the Taimiao again!"

“……”

The prestige of Emperor Chongzhen can be said to have reached a very high height. Except for Taizu Chengzu, the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared with Emperor Chongzhen at all.

The benefits that this brought to Emperor Chongzhen were naturally obvious.

The whole thing, Emperor Chongzhen did not add fuel to the fire, and continued to win, which will naturally unite people's hearts. At this time, his mind was no longer on this trip to Liaodong.
