Qin Mu was not a person who was used to being beaten passively, and after feeling the threat from Mobei, he adopted the preemptive proposal proposed by Liu Meng, and ordered the soldiers and horses of Liaodong to take the initiative to attack.

At the same time, Qin Zuoming was asked to bring 2,000 men and horses equipped with rockets and 68-type rifles to defend Xijing, ready to reinforce Hexi at any time.

Among the hundreds of thousands of troops in Daqin, there are not many troops that can be equipped with rocket slips and Type 68 rifles, first, because of the difficulty in producing these weapons, and second, the high cost of production.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are Great Qin has just established a country, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, so it can be said that money is needed everywhere.

Most of the income of the state treasury is invested in the people's livelihood, for example, last year, in the seven northern provinces that have just been recovered, 30 million stone of relief grain was invested, as well as a large amount of materials, all of which were piled up by the two sons of Bai Huahua.

Now the first priority is to restore the people's livelihood and let the people live a life of food and clothing.

In this case, there is less money to be invested in the production of expensive weapons.

This time, the Navy Governor Di Zhongxing was also brought in, just to solve the problem of money, the imperial court was short of money and food, and it could not always focus on the country and squeeze it from the common people.

Qin Mu worked hard to develop the navy, hoping that they would do their best to shoulder the burden of "supporting their families".

I have no money and no food, so I ask the navy for it.

Qin Mu turned to Di Zhongxing, the governor of the navy, and said: "Jiaozhi Zheng, holding its master hostage, ignoring the principles of the monarch and the minister's father and son, and doing the abolition of the establishment in vain, especially the Dong thieves of the Three Kingdoms, even want to deceive me and ask me to be canonized. ”

He Liang, Gu Junen, Liu Meng and others didn't expect the emperor to suddenly correct the mistakes of the Zheng family.

Of course, everyone quickly figured out why Qin Mu's fire suddenly burned to the Zheng family.

Di Zhongxing, as the governor of the navy, naturally also had this awareness, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, Jiaozhi Zheng is a deceitful king, but he is really a chaotic minister and thief, so treacherous. It must be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to deter Xiao Xiao. ”

The East China Sea Fleet has also been resting for a long time, and the North Sea Fleet has been idle.

For now, there was no major threat to the coastal defense in the north, so Qin Mu decided to transfer these two fleets south to find an opportunity to crusade against the Jiaozhi Zheng clan.

Generally speaking, Cochin is currently the highest in the entire small country in Southeast Asia, and the area of Hanoi occupied by the Zheng clan belongs to the alluvial plain of the Red River Delta, which is rich in products and is the essence of the entire Cochin.

And the Navy is along the course of the Red River. You can directly advance to the city of Thang Long (Hanoi).

If possible, let the navy suddenly attack and destroy the Zheng clan, and the wealth and materials obtained from Thang Long Mansion should make Great Qin's finances a little more comfortable.

If there is no chance, let the navy routinely patrol the sea frontier.

Qin Mu is not afraid that other small countries in Southeast Asia will have a bad impression of Great Qin, and they will be destroyed sooner or later anyway.

What's more, this time he attacked the Zheng family, and the reason can be regarded as high-sounding, the Zheng family held the Li lord hostage. Abolish it at will, this is disloyal, unjust, rebellious and thief, and everyone will be punished. As the founder and maintainer of the order of the world, how could Great Qin turn a blind eye?

Qin Mu and the military minister were discussing the matter. Han Zanzhou bowed in and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister Fan Yi is playing, the North Korean envoy came to report the funeral, and the North Korean king Li Liang fell ill a month ago."

He's dead? Qin Mu secretly muttered to himself in his heart. Then he said to Gan Nan: "Gan Qing, you should immediately go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive the DPRK envoy and ask how the situation in the DPRK is now." Other than that. When I heard the bad news, I was very sad in my heart, and you can convey my condolences. ”

Gan Nan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let the ministers deal with it." ”

Qin Mu nodded, and Gan Nan quickly withdrew.

The king of Joseon, Li Liang, had already been sick, and Qin Mu was still a little prepared for his death.

But no matter in which country, the death of the monarch is very easy to cause political turmoil, Qin Mu does not want any turmoil in North Korea now, if such a thing really happens, then Great Qin is really restless, which is of course not in the interests of Great Qin.

The monarch of the vassal state died, and as the suzerain, in addition to giving something to express condolences, he also had to give a nickname. and canonized a new king. There are quite a few things.

Among the small countries around the Ming Dynasty, Korea was the one that benefited the most from China, and Korea was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Especially after Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, North Korea became closer, and the great courtesy was respectful, and the Ming court also treated it with courtesy, and other countries did not dare to look at it.

In Daqin's foreign relations, North Korea was once again placed in a relatively special position.

Qin Mu intends to set up North Korea as a model of Great Qin's friendship with foreign countries, after all, he is ready to sweep away all the small countries in the south, which will undoubtedly make Great Qin's image too cold.

At this time, the model of North Korea is needed to neutralize the image of "Violent Qin", which is not only external, but also an explanation internally, after all, he is still holding the banner of Confucianism as the emperor, and he also needs to show the demeanor of "cultivating Wende and coming from afar".

On this day, Qin Mu made three heavy decisions: first, let Chebai lead the seven coalition forces to take the initiative to attack Mobei; Second, let Qin Zuoming lead two thousand elites to move to Xijing; Third, let the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet go south and seek opportunities to attack the Jiaozhi Zheng clan.

These three decisions, no matter which one of them is not small, if it is in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it will have to be noisy in the court.

But now, it was up to Qin Mu to directly implement the order after consulting with the chief officials of the specific departments of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Households, and the Governor's Office of the Navy and Army. He did not even consult the cabinet ministers, and the meaning of centralization was very strong.

Of course, it is normal for every founding emperor to centralize power, after all, the orthodox name is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and centralization of power is necessary.

After making these three decisions, Qin Mu faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of the problem for a while.

Maybe Daqin's strings are too tight, and some things should be slowed down, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be achieved if I want to hurry.

After the ministers dispersed, Qin Mu went to visit the red lady and the second son who had just been born for less than ten days.

The rouge horse of the red lady, after giving birth, inadvertently became a little more maternal tenderness, and seeing Qin Mu smiling and teasing her son, she also watched quietly, with a smile on her face.

When the nurse took the child down, she asked softly, "Is there something troublesome about your majesty?" ”

Qin Mu sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand and said, "There are always political affairs to deal with every day, this is inevitable, Ying'er doesn't have to think about it, let's keep it with peace of mind." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't mean anything else, she just feels sorry for her Majesty and works hard all day long."

"Hahaha, if I ignore state affairs one day, you should ask for the people's lives and crusade against me."

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare."

Qin Mu chatted with her for a while before returning to the Qianqing Palace, and then asked someone to announce the Korean princess Wenhui who was named Zhaoyi.

This North Korean princess is nicknamed Zhiyin, gentle and beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, as a princess of foreign peace, she naturally knows that she is not qualified to fight for anything, and she has been abiding by her duties since entering the palace, and she is very respectful to the queen.

She wore a gold-inlaid jade butterfly wings on her temples, a moon-blue silk silk dress, and an apricot gold moon-blossom long skirt, and entered the hall and said: "The concubine visits Your Majesty, and Your Majesty bows to Wanfu." ”

"Calm down, I announced that you came here to tell you something, North Korea sent an envoy to the DPRK to report the funeral, and the king of North Korea fell ill a month ago."

Li Zhiyin was stunned at first when she heard this, and then her expression darkened, and she said again: "The concubine thanks Your Majesty for informing the King of Korea that during the Jurchen Tatar invasion of Korea, he suffered humiliation and became ill, and now he is unfortunately driving, and I hope that His Majesty can sympathize with North Korea." ”

"The Korean servant is very humble, and I will naturally not treat the DPRK badly. If you miss your parents in North Korea, you can ask the envoy to bring back a letter from the family. ”

"Thank you."

Li Zhiyin's thanks were really from the bottom of her heart, and her face was full of gratitude.

Qin Mu wants to appease North Korea, in addition to the normal channel, the channel of guò guò is also a strange way, and she has always been treated well.

He asked Li Jun to promote Chinese and Chinese characters in North Korea, and if he wanted the horses to run, he had to give the horses some grass. Be kind to Li Zhiyin, and the whole of North Korea will be at ease.

PS: Today is my father's birthday, as his most disappointed son, I sincerely wish him a long and healthy life!

Before my father was a year old, my grandfather joined the expeditionary force to fight in Burma, and since then he has lived and died. My father has no father's love since he was a child, and he was often bullied by children of the same age when he was a child, causing him to be introverted all his life, usually talk very little, and have a very heavy heart.

His biggest hope is that my generation can fight for a breath and get ahead, and I secretly swore that I would not disappoint my father, but

Looking back, yesterday in front of the door in a foreign land, I sighed with emotion year after year, but the sunset and sunrise have never changed. At this moment, when I looked at my father's smile again, I was unconsciously speechless, making the sunset twilight seep with tears

I was indeed the most disappointed by my father, who had achieved nothing
