Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 thieves near Hanzhong who are fighting against Wang Dutang, but Yangzhou has suddenly increased by 90,000 soldiers and horses, and these people must have been drawn from all over Jiangbei by Dolgon. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said: "According to the Beizhen report, the additional Qing army came from Jin, Shaanxi, Lu and other places, and there were also two yellow flags of captives and thieves who were originally entrenched near Beijing. ”

Speaking of this, he and Zhang Jiayu glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces, "These should be the last family of Jianyu, except for the Qing army in Henan, which has not moved, other places must be empty in defense!" ”

Zhang Jiayu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty sees it." Our naval division can attack Tianjin, Jinzhou, Liaoning and other places as it did last autumn, and the captives will be divided to save them, and the front deployment of Duoduo will be chaotic. ”

"Yuanzi's plan is feasible." Zhu Linmiao looked at the map, but said, "But you can be bolder!" Such as recovering my Dongjiang Town! ”

Before the Chongzhen Dynasty, Dongjiang Town refers to the northeast military town east of the Liaohe River, including the islands of the Bohai Sea, Fort Arthur, Kuandianbao, Tieshan, Changcheng and other large areas.

After Nurhachi's army was confirmed, the scope of Dongjiang Town gradually narrowed to the islands east of Lushun Pass, such as Shenmi Island, Guanglu Island, Shicheng Island, Zhangzi Island, and Kashima Island, centered on Phi Island.

Although the scope of Dongjiang Town has become smaller, the Ming troops stationed on the island have been relying on warships to attack Huifa, Yaozhou, Anshanyi, Salhu and other places that have become the rear of Jianyu. However, due to the unfavorable support of the Ming court, mutinies occurred frequently on the island, and there was no particularly significant record in the attack on Jianyu.

It was not until the tenth year of Chongzhen that the Qing army, which was not good at water warfare, broke through Phi Dao with the help of the Korean sailors who were conquered by them, and Shen Shikui, the overseer of Dongjiang Town, was martyred.

However, Huang Taiji, who had little interest in these "desert islands", casually handed over Phi Dao and other islands to North Korea, and then ordered the Qing army to return home.

In the previous Korean Li Ying rebellion, in order to seek the support of the Ming Dynasty, he mentioned that he would help the Ming army camp on Phi Island. At present, the Daming Naval Division has no opponent in the East China Sea, and the number of troops that can be drawn has increased a lot compared with last year.

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, if you want to station soldiers and horses on Phi Island, you have to transport grain and grass from Zhejiang to the central and southern regions, which costs a lot of ......."

Zhu Linmiao smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, these are all handed over to the North Koreans." "He has already planned, in the future, Li Ying will send grain every month, every month, three, five months, and Li Liang will send grain, and these two people are waiting for the Ming Sect Master to approve their identity, and they will definitely not dare to shirk.

Zhang Jiayu and the others seemed to be confident when they saw him, and they all said happily: "If Dongjiang Town can be revived, it will make the captives and thieves unable to take care of both the head and tail, and they will be embarrassed!" ”

The Ming Dynasty now has a professional "amphibious combat unit" - the Naval Infantry Army, and its combat effectiveness is not comparable to the "small fights" of Huanglong, Shen Shikui and others in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Zhu Linmiao then ordered: "The naval division will transfer the Qiantang River and the naval police fleet warships, ah, there is no need to send too many main Galen warships, it is enough to go to a few hard sailing ships with thousands of materials." All the sailors marched to Phi Island. Ordered to send 2,000 soldiers of the loyal battalion to the island and take charge of the defense of the camp. ”

The newly built naval infantry army is less than 2,000 men and horses for the time being, and it must be enough to attack Liaodong, and Phi Island still needs troops to defend it. And from the loyal battalion that was an overseas garrison, they were sent to Phi Dao, and when the naval division was fully manned, they could be stationed in Korea nearby.

Zheng Chenggong is now in the Chongming Navy Battalion, and Zhang Jiayu, who is the squire of the military department, salutes and responds: "Yes!" The last general then went to the water division. ”

Zhu Linmiao continued: "In addition to Phi Dao, there are also two places in Shandong and Shanxi that can be done. ”

Zhang Jiayu was very surprised when he heard this, "Your Majesty, General Xie Qianxie over there in Shandong is quite familiar with it, and he sent him back to Luding to be able to gather people, but on the Shanxi side, the wind is calm at the moment, and I don't know ......."

"Ginger inlay." Zhu Linmiao spit out a name.

"Jianyu Xuanhua, Datong Town Chief Soldier?" Zhang Jiayu groaned, "I haven't heard that this person has the intention of being anyway." ”

"Soon it will be. We can help him get some fuel now. ”

Zhu Linmiao clearly remembered that in history, Jiang Jian was dissatisfied with the suspicion of the Qing court, and sent Manchu officers to empty his military power, and raised the flag in Datong in the third year of Yongli to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the middle of a war with the Ming army in the Huguang area at that time, they needed a large amount of grain and grass, so they levied additional grain and wages in Shanxi and other places, which caused the people to complain. So after Jiang Pin's rebellion, people from all over Shanxi gathered, and Dolgon sent Boluo, Shuosai, Mandahai, Azig and other generals to "quell the rebellion", and finally relied on Jiang Pin's general Yang Wei to defect to capture Datong City. After the city was broken, Jianyu slaughtered Datong and nearby prefectures and counties, which was known as the "Massacre of Datong" in history.

At present, the war in Jiangnan is about to break out, and it is foreseeable that in order to feed the 150,000 troops at the front, Dolgon will inevitably increase taxes significantly, which is almost exactly the same as the conditions during the Shanxi uprising in history.

And now that Bolo, Azig and the others have gone to Hades to report, Dolgon may not even be able to choose someone who can deal with Jiang Ting.

Zhu Linmiao continued: "Send someone to secretly contact Jiang Pai, pardon him for his previous crime of surrendering, and make him the governor of Shanxi, so that he can immediately raise troops anyway."

"In terms of military salaries, grain and grass, you can make the Liang family and the Wang family on the Chahar side give some. If it wasn't enough, the remaining six 'locust merchants' were all in Shanxi, and it would be enough for him to copy a few for treason and defection to the enemy. ”

Although Zhang Jiayu felt incredible when he heard this, he had been in the Dragon Guard for so long, and he had seen Zhu Linmiao's "unpredictable prophet" many times, so he was not surprised, and saluted at the moment: "Yes!" In the end, the arrangements will be made according to the purpose. ”

"Ah, by the way," Zhu Linmiao added, "let Jiang Jian be on guard against his subordinate Yang Wei." ”

"Yes!"

After all the combat deployments were redone, when Zhu Linmiao came out of the military tent, it was completely dark outside.

He glanced at his pocket watch and instructed Shi Lin, "Pass the order and return to Nanjing overnight." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Lin glanced at the sky, summoned the royal camp to gather, and "borrowed" a thousand cavalry from the Dragon Guard, and then escorted the Son of Heaven to the north.

Although the big war is imminent, Zhu Linmiao still has an extremely important thing to do in Nanjing - marriage. The wedding date was the day after tomorrow, so he was in a hurry to rush back to Nanjing overnight.

Of course, as a normal man, seeing that he wants to take a smart, gentle and beautiful wife like Mu Zhiqing to pass through the door, he is "anxious" and "impatient".

But more importantly, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this wedding is extremely important.

First of all, it can paralyze the prisoners. When Duoduo learned that the Ming Emperor still had the intention of getting married, he would definitely think that the Ming Dynasty knew nothing about his 150,000 army about to go south, so he could rest assured that he would "jump into the pit".

Secondly, this is also a good way to boost the morale of the Ming army and civilians. You see, the emperor is still marrying as usual, and he is jubilant everywhere, which shows that Nanjing is as stable as Mount Tai, and the people's hearts will be stable.

By the next day, Zhu Linmiao's car had already driven into Nanjing. I saw that the lights were everywhere, and the shops along the street were covered with red cloth plaques, and even the passers-by were beaming.

Only the soldiers of the broken battalion waiting at the head of the city can make people smell a hint of the mountain rain coming.

When Zhu Linmiao arrived at the noon gate, Feng Kang, the eunuch of Bingbi, hurriedly greeted him with dark circles under his eyes, "Meet the emperor." Long live Lord, you're back, the Queen Mother almost didn't scold the slave to death......"

He saw Ma Wensheng glaring at him, hurriedly stopped complaining, and said, "Long live Lord, go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, there are still many things waiting for you to see." ”

is an ordinary person getting married, and it is also a lot of things before and after, not to mention the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Linmiao first went to report his safety to the Queen Mother, and then returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall to know that there were so many things waiting for him to decide, and there were hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Inner Court who came to perform, and the queue was more than half a mile long!

From the holy decree of canonizing the queen to the words to be posted outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, he had to nod his head.

It wasn't until dinner was served that day that he sent all the officials who asked for the order. In fact, for the wedding, he hopes that everything will be simple, but he doesn't want Mu Zhiqing to have regrets, after all, the wedding day is the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, and he wants to give the best to his woman.

At night, Zhu Linmiao, who had been busy all day, found that his brain was extremely excited and he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply took out the combat deployment of Duoduo this time and studied it again.

Seeing that it was the third watch, he suddenly remembered that if the performance of the cave room was affected because he did not rest well, and his daughter-in-law mistakenly thought that he was a "fast man", the gains would outweigh the losses......

No way! He hurriedly asked Ma Wensheng to make a bowl of soothing tea, and after drinking it, he "struggled" for nearly half an hour before gradually falling asleep.

The next day, before dawn, Zhu Linmiao was woken up by Ma Wensheng. He took advantage of the eunuch and palace maids to wash and change their crown clothes, and hurriedly pulled a few bites of food, and then he became energetic.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already waiting outside the hall accompanied by the eunuchs of the inner court, and they came to the Fengtian Gate with the Son of Heaven in their arms. Zhu Linmiao ascended to Fengtianmen according to the process, announced the marriage to the ancestors, and then rushed to the Taiji Hall to meet the Queen Mother, as if he was fighting.

Like all mothers in the world, the Queen Mother saw Zhu Linmiao, who was dressed as a groom, and was both happy and crying, and told him a few words such as raising his eyebrows and singing the piano, and then grabbed a handful of red dates and stuffed them in his hand, and whispered: "There is no imperial food available at the wedding, so when you are hungry, you will 'steal' a few bites." ”

Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Zhu Linmiao rushed to the scene and stepped on the snow to drive the Wenhua Palace.

The Wenhua Hall has long been decorated, with red hanging colors, a huge red double happiness on the wall, and the floor covered with a red gorilla felt carpet, and the whole hall is like a red flame rising in the snow-white world.

The princes and ministers have already stood in the courtyard of the Wenhua Hall according to their ranks, and the sound of the silent whip pierced the sky, and suddenly the drums rang out in unison, and the ministers knelt down to worship, and the mountain shouted long live.

Zhu Linmiao stepped into the hall according to the rhythm of Jile, and ordered Xu Erlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to welcome the relatives and set up the festival, gold book, gold treasure and other things used by the queen.

After Xu Shangshu read out the book and the treasure text, he handed over the "certificates" such as the festival, the book, and the treasure to the hand of the greeting messenger.

Watching the welcoming officials leave, Zhu Linmiao was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and returned to the Heart Palace to wait for the queen to enter the palace, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, getting married is really physical work!
