Chapter 118: Chen Yan digs a pit
On the dragon chair, Chongzhen's face was cloudy, and he had to admit that Chongzhen was not very satisfied with Zhu Jie's words, after all, admitting Fulin's status was undoubtedly a slap in the face!
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Jie was unmoved, bowed down and said: "Let me ask, as you have said, our Great Ming Dynasty just does not recognize the status of the Manchu Emperor of Fulin, does he not exist?" Should the subjects of Manchuria call him emperor or call him emperor, there is only one way to make the subjects not call him emperor! ”
"What's the solution?"
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"That is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been completely destroyed, and if it is destroyed, naturally there will be no subjects to call it the emperor!"
"Cut!"
Chen Yan said disdainfully: "General Zhu, what you say is better than what you sing, the Eight Banners of Manchuria are extremely strong, how many generals have been defeated in their hands, even if they are brave and wise like Lu Xiangsheng, they have all died on the battlefield, the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, is it that you say that you can destroy the country if you destroy it?" You're daydreaming, right? ”
Zhu Jie replied lightly: "Lord Chen, even if you are daydreaming, it is better to destroy the Manchus once, than you are afraid of the Manchus like a tiger every day, right?" What's more, who said that I couldn't destroy the Manchu barbarians? ”
Chongzhen was still displeased, and asked, "Zhu Jie, do you mean that you are sure that the Manchu Qing will eventually destroy the country?" ”
Zhu Jie bowed to Chongzhen again and said: "Your Majesty, of course, otherwise, why would I make such a decision, wouldn't the ministers know about this plan, and it would damage the emperor's face?" However, history has always been a king and a loser, isn't the overlord of Chu a hero? Isn't Liu Bang a hooligan? However, in the history books, the overlord of Chu was a failure, and he was a loser; Liu Bang is the creator of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, is the winner, history needs to remember the winner, and will not ask how the victory, if the emperor will destroy the Manchu Dynasty, then you are a generation of heroes of the Zhongxing Ming Dynasty, comparable to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, who will care if you have compromised with the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”
Chongzhen was a little excited, Zhu Jie was right, the king is the king, the king is defeated, history is always written by the winner!
"However, what you said is light, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will destroy the country, but you have some ability? Send troops to the Manchus now? Two battles with the Eight Banners of Manchuria? ”
Chen Yan asked with a face full of unconvinced.
"Five to ten years!"
Zhu Jie replied lightly: "Lord Chen, don't be unconvinced, I said that in five to ten years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will destroy the country, then it can definitely be done within five to ten years, as for sending troops to fight, now is not the opportunity, as the first assistant, what about the elite soldiers you prepared for me?" What is your salary for me? There are no soldiers, no food, do you mean to let me destroy the Eight Banners of Manchuria alone? I don't want so many troops, Hong Chengchou's 150,000 army has no choice but to fight the Manchurian Eight Banners, I only need 100,000 troops, 100,000 troops, I can defeat the Manchurian Iron Cavalry, you just need to prepare 100,000 elite soldiers for me plus a year's military salary......"
Belch......
Chen Yan almost didn't choke to death, 100,000 elite soldiers, plus a year's military salary, what do you think? In the first battle of Songshan, except for some of the Guanning iron cavalry under Wu Sangui, the elite of the Ming Dynasty was almost lost, even the troops under Sun Chuanting were all newly recruited, where to get you 100,000 elite soldiers? As for a year's military salary, it is even more impossible, 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Liaodong, a year's time, the cost of consumption, no less than six million taels of silver, Lao Tzu can't even find more than 100,000 taels of silver now, where to get six million taels of silver with you?
"Zhu Jie, are you making things difficult for the old man? 100,000 elite soldiers, a year's salary, if the old man has the ability to gather these things, is it okay to attack Liaodong by himself? ”
"Then you close your crow's mouth!"
Zhu Jie suddenly shouted, "If you have the ability, you can come up with a useful plan to solve problems for the emperor, that is your duty as the first assistant, if you don't have that ability, then you just shut up honestly and listen to me!" ”
Chen Yan's face turned red, and he almost died of anger, he is a dignified first minister, under one person, above ten thousand people! This little commander of the same knowledge dared to scold himself angrily above the court!
"Your Majesty, Zhu Jie's mouth is not inferior and insults to the ministers, it really damages the majesty of the court, please punish the emperor!"
Chen Yan airway.
"Okay, Chen Yan, you also stop for a while, since you don't have any good policies for governing the country, Anbang has a clever plan, then listen to what Zhu Jie has to say? At least he can figure it out! ”
Chongzhen said impatiently.
Chen Yan's expression froze, and he stopped speaking indignantly.
"Your Majesty, in fact, sending an envoy to the Manchus this time is not a step to destroy the Manchus? As long as the chaos provoked within the country, at least the Manchurian monarchs and ministers cannot work together, then it will reduce the threat of the Manchurian iron cavalry to us to the greatest extent, create a relaxed environment for us to exterminate the thieves and the thieves, and clean up the thieves and the thieves. ”
Zhu Jie replied, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the country, please ask the emperor to make up his mind as soon as possible!" ”
Well......
Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Zhu Jie, I agree with your strategy, but the key is the candidate for the envoy, the envoy to the barbarian state, the first must have superhuman courage, and second, there must be excellent eloquence; Third, you also need to have a sensitive reaction, and finally, you also need to have a certain understanding of the Manchu Qing Kingdom, which is not easy to find......"
"Your Majesty, since the strategy was set by Lord Zhu, why not let him go in person? In terms of courage, it is needless to say that as a generation of generals, courage is its foundation; As for the understanding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with Zhu Daren's ability to conclude that Huang Taiji died twice and Fu Lin ascended the throne, who else can understand the Manchu Qing Dynasty better than Zhu Daren? ”
Chen Yan suddenly said in a gloomy voice.
Fang Yuegong's eyes on the side darkened, wiped it, okay, Zhu Jie, tell you to be a man with your tail between your legs, be honest, you don't listen, it's okay now, it's roasted on the fire, right? This time, see how you kid get out! Envoy to Manchuria, those people are all barbarians, if they are not satisfied, they will throw their lives away!
Chongzhen's face sank, and he shouted: "Chen Yan, you are pushing Zhu Jie into the fire pit, now that the famous generals of the imperial court are withering, it is not easy to discover a Zhu Jie, you actually let him send an envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and put him in the land of nine deaths and one life!" How vicious his heart is! ”
Of course Chongzhen was annoyed, he didn't feel distressed when he sent someone else, but Zhu Jie couldn't, the safety of Gyeonggi in the future was all tied to Zhu Jie, if he had another accident, where would he go to find a talent who could protect the safety of Gyeonggi?
