    Wang Duo's memorial arrived two hours later than Tian Rong. In addition to a general report, the content was about the French issues mentioned by Bai Jing. Wang Duo also expressed his opinion, believing that the imperial court should use the northern expedition at this time.  For the grand plan, everything had to make way for the Northern Expedition, and things that were thousands of miles away could not be taken over. Therefore, Wang Duo opposed participating in European affairs. Although there was a boycott of Chinese businessmen in Europe, Wang Duo believed that those were temporary difficulties. The Ming Dynasty  The products are always the darlings of the European market.

    Published It was already evening when Zhu Youlang was called by Emperor Hongguang. When he saw Tian Rong standing outside the door, he was stunned. Then he thought of Emperor Hongguang's departure in the morning. Could it be that something happened in Nanjing?

    Posted Tian Rong lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you! Mr. Yin came a little earlier than Your Majesty." He pushed the door open and led Zhu Youlang in.

    The only people around me who can be called staff officers are Yin Shixun and Zhu Youlang. Most of the others are generals, including Gao Di and others. They charge into the battle and attack the city and occupy the land. But when it comes to strategic considerations,  Far less discerning than Zhu Youlang and Yin Shixun.

    Posted I saw Zhu Youlang coming and motioned Tian Rong and others to go out, "Brother Yu, come and sit down. I have some things to discuss with Brother Yu and Yin Aiqing." There was a map of the world of this era on the table of the Eight Immortals.  It's very simple. When I close my eyes and think about it, it's much richer than this map.

    Zhu Youlang saw that Emperor Hongguang was calm and relaxed. It seemed that there was nothing difficult. When he saw Yin Shixun also sitting next to Emperor Hongguang, he stopped refusing and sat down. "The emperor summoned the ministers. I don't know why.  matter?"

    Posted "I just had a conversation with Yin Aiqing. I want to change my strategy. I am not going to prepare for the Northern Expedition, or I am not going to fight to the death with the Tatars." I saw the surprised expressions of Zhu Youlang and Yin Shixun, and slightly  With a smile, "I suddenly have other ideas. When Dayu controlled floods, sparing was better than blocking. I am also prepared to do this, but it is necessary to study the method. Let me tell you my thoughts first!"

    I will tell Bai Jing's suggestion in more detail. I won't go into what the two of them don't understand. In short, I just want them to understand how big the world is and how complicated the situation is. I also adapted the method of the Northern Expedition.  That is to change the total annihilation to use the Manchus as guns, drive them all the way to the west, and let the Manchus help the Ming clear the territory of the Russians. If the Manchus still have the ability to invade Europe, they might as well let them go and let them fight with foreigners.  Fight for food.

    Yin Shixun felt that the emperor's idea was too novel. Of course, he didn't know what the Ural Mountains in Siberia were, but he understood the emperor's idea, which was to expel the Tatars and drive away the wolves and tigers to clear the way for the Ming Dynasty to open up new territories.  It would be great if the obstacle can be realized. Genghis Khan's Yuan Dynasty had a very large territory. If the plan succeeds according to what the emperor said, the Ming Dynasty will add much more land than the current territory.

    Zhu Youlang thought further. According to the emperor's idea, there were many benefits. All dynasties had to guard against the threat from the Hu people in the north. Otherwise, the Great Wall would not have been built for thousands of years. If the Hu people had no power in the north of the Ming Dynasty,  Having a foothold is a once and for all solution.  Therefore, he and Yin Shixun agreed with Emperor Hongguang's idea, and their strategic vision was quite lofty.

    I saw that the two of them agreed with this strategy. I was happy and sighed, "It is not easy to implement! The Tatars now occupy Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and a large area of ??territory outside the customs. It is very difficult to force them to move westward.  Great, I have decided to temporarily station troops in Hebei and send the main force outside the pass to cut off the Tatars' retreat first."

    Zhu Youlang pointed at the map and said, "Shi Lang and Shen Tingyang have been harassing the Tatars along the Yalu River and the capital. If they follow the emperor's plan, they must cooperate with the North Korean army in landing operations. It may take a long time to clear the border areas!  "

    Posted "No, I have thought about it. It is good to force the Tatars away, but we cannot force them to death. Yin Aiqing, please get an intelligence report immediately. The population, military strength, etc. of the Tatars must be detailed. There must be no mistakes.  ." I looked at Zhu Youlang, "Brother, I am going to put you in charge of things outside the pass. Shi Lang, Chen Tingyang's navy, and the North Korean army will all be placed under your command. After you go, you will first take down Shanhaiguan and cut off the connections inside and outside the pass.  Contact, God has the virtue of good life, Tatars are also human beings, let them go if they can, annihilating the strength of the Tatars outside the pass is not the focus, they must be driven to the north, Lao Maozi has great ambitions in the north, I hope  My brother, don¡¯t let me down. My brother is leaving now. He will lead 50,000 troops to Shandong from here. The navy will send you across the sea. I will ask Wu Sangui to go with you. He is more familiar with the situation outside the customs."

    Released Zhu Youlang immediately said that he would not disappoint Emperor Hongguang's expectations. Besides, Zhu Youlang liked to be with the navy, and he already had a rough battle plan.

      Half a month after the release, Yin Shixun got the information I needed from Hu Maozhen. I was shocked at first glance. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has developed a lot in recent years. The Manchu population has reached 800,000, and the Eight Banners  Throwing aside the troops and horses, the losses since the beginning of the war are still 80,000. Including the Han troops from various places, the total strength is no less than 250,000. The strength is still there!

    Posted "Hu Maozhen's status among the Tatars is quite stable now. Shunzhi trusts him very much and has promoted him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain this information so quickly. If the situation develops according to the emperor's wishes, Hu Maozhen may  He will make suggestions in front of Shunzhi and make the Tatars move westward." Yin Shixun felt that Hu Maozhen's spy arrangement was so clever that it was hard to estimate what role it would play in the future.

    I nodded, "Now is the time to send troops. It will take some time for King Gui to capture Shanhaiguan, so that Shandong's troops can advance to Beijing and force Shunzhi to transfer the troops of Ying'erdai back to the army, so as not to get rid of this tail.  I plan to leave 80,000 soldiers and horses and a population of 150,000 to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If such strength moves westward, I will not be killed by Lao Maozi. Now these are just words on paper. I will discuss the specific operations with the generals! These days  They all came to me to ask for arrows to go into battle, and they are probably all exhausted."

    Posted by my calculations, if this plan can be successfully implemented, the number of Manchus left in the country will not exceed 300,000, and they will all be old, weak, women and children who cannot fight. It will not take ten years to assimilate, and it is guaranteed that they will not even have the words of their own ethnic group.  They won't even recognize it. Just like the reforms of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, clothing, language, and surnames were all Chineseized, and there would be no so-called Tatars in the future.

    Gaudi and other generals disapproved of the plan code-named "Driving Wolf and Devouring Tiger". They felt that it would be better to annihilate the Tatars. What old Russians have never heard of it, if they knew about the Sino-Russian situation during the Kangxi period  After a big war, he probably wouldn't be so unhappy.

    Posted In general, the cost of expelling the Tatars is much less than annihilation. Besides, it is not that easy to annihilate a race. It is said that expelling the Tatars is equivalent to exile in the end. The various tribes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including the Mongolian tribes  Half of the population was exiled to Siberia, where living conditions were extremely difficult. They had no choice but to move westward, otherwise nature would eliminate them.

    Release The plan progressed very smoothly. The threat to Beijing made Shunzhi transfer away Ying Erdai and Zhuo Butai who were wandering in Hebei without hesitation.  At the same time, I made a detailed "planning letter" for Hu Maozhen, explaining my intentions very clearly, and asked him to propose it to Shunzhi at the right time. Of course, that would be when Shunzhi was forced to abandon Beijing.

    Published Without the ghost of Ying Erdai, the Ming army progressed very quickly, conquering Handan, Xingtai, and Jinzhou. When they entered Dingzhou, they encountered the core of the Manchu defense and fought a protracted war.

    It was announced that Huang Shiren also had good news frequently. After taking Xi'an, the whole of Shaanxi fell into despair. It is estimated that after Huang Shiren took Shaanxi, he would bypass Shanxi and threaten Beijing as soon as possible. In this way, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would only have Shanxi, Jingshi and Guanwai.  divided territory.

    Released The main force of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition was stationed in Dingzhou, waiting for Zhu Youlang to increase his efforts to advance northward after taking over the pass and cutting off the Manchu Qing's retreat.  I was so happy that I could make such rapid progress all day long. I summed up the gains and losses. In addition to the contribution of the army, the navy also contributed indispensably. If the navy of Shi Lang and Shen Tingyang did not attract the Manchu troops, it would threaten the security of Beijing.  , it is not easy to keep the Qing Dynasty exhausted.

    "Your Majesty." When the gatekeeper saw Emperor Hongguang coming, he knew that the people inside were going to suffer again.  Everyone who guards the Red Lady knows that Emperor Hongguang will come to take care of the Red Lady every once in a while. According to the woman who "takes care of" the Red Lady, the consequences of being favored are very tragic.

    Posted As soon as I came in, I saw two old ladies feeding the red lady!  Because she was afraid that the red lady would commit suicide, she suffered a lot when eating. When it came to eating, she just forced it down her throat.

    Posted Seeing the red lady vomiting all over the floor, my face darkened, "Is this so possible? Clean it up." It didn't take so much trouble in the past. What happened today?

    "Your Majesty, slave I have something to say." An old woman saw Emperor Hongguang coming in and quickly knelt down, "Well she seems to be pregnant. She has been vomiting violently after eating in the past few days. I have been here before.  You can¡¯t go wrong thinking about it.¡±

    Posted: What does it feel like to be spanked? How does it feel to me now? It stands to reason that she is almost 40 years old. It is impossible to get pregnant at 40 in this era. The most important thing is that I haven¡¯t exploded inside a few times. Is it possible?  Is the "winning" rate so high?

    Published In order to confirm my mother¡¯s guess, I came to the military doctor immediately, and the result was not bad at all. This is really a dizzying question. In the words of Yin Shixun, who received this letter, thisIt's going to be big trouble.

    I looked at the red lady who had the rope blocking her mouth, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "If you want to die this time, I will definitely not stop you." This accident was too tricky, and I looked at her cheeks left with  The red marks on her face, looking at her haggard appearance, looking at her not believing that she was pregnant, one can imagine how much conflict she has in her heart.
