    Thirty miles away from Seoul, Zhu Xieyuan was listening to the report of the expedition horse in the Ming army's camp, with a look of fatigue on his face after a rapid march.  As a civil servant, although Zhu Xieyuan had military talents, his body was not that of a military general.  "Commander, Seoul is now besieged by 20,000 slaves. If we hadn't arrived early, I'm afraid Seoul would have been in danger. According to the Jin Yiwei's spies, King Li Zong of North Korea has left Seoul, and the city of Seoul is occupied by North Korea.  Da Si Xian is guarding the city. There are only 10,000 defenders. If it were not for the help of the people, they would not be able to withstand it for ten days." The soldiers used the simplest words and probed themselves as quickly as possible.  Explain the information received clearly.  He nodded slowly. After ten days of rapid march, the Ming army was already very tired. Although the 20,000 people had horses, after all, their bodies were not made of iron.  After taking a look at the location of Seoul, Zhu Xieyuan said to the flag officer on the side: "Pass the commander's order to guard the camp closely tonight and increase the number of hidden sentries three times!" "Yes, Marshal!" The flag officer on the side said respectfully.  After bowing, he turned around and walked out.  Sitting on the chair, Zhu Xieyuan thought quietly, what should he do next?  If Zhu Xieyuan and Jiannu were really left to fight, he would really be reluctant to do so.  I only have 20,000 people, and the Jiannu army also has 20,000 people. If I really want to annihilate them all, I am afraid I will only injure 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 myself.  ¡°I am in urgent need of a victory now, firstly to establish my prestige in Liaodong, and secondly to silence others.  After all, given his own qualifications, Governor Liaodong is still somewhat unqualified.  However, in Zhu Xieyuan's opinion, it was the best way to drive away the slaves. However, considering himself, he couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.  Azig and Duduo were sitting on their horses, neither of them looked very good-looking. No one expected that the Ming army would arrive so quickly.  Look at the Ming army camping there as if there is no one around.  Duduo was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.  But there was nothing they could do. After the Ming army arrived here, they immediately set up their artillery positions.  Under the cover of artillery, Tudor would never let the Eight Banners disciples attack. That would be an act of seeking death.  "Brother, we should go back! The Great Khan has sent Azig to pick us up. Although we failed to capture Seoul this time, we robbed a lot of things. We will never do this kind of thing in the future. After all, the Ming Dynasty wants to help.  "It's beyond our reach," Duduo looked at Azig and said in a deep voice.  Azig on the other side did not speak. His face was solemn and he had mixed feelings in his heart.  Since when did the 20,000 bannermen dare not attack the 20,000 Ming army? This is definitely not a good thing.  If the children of the Eight Banners could not capture the Ming army's city.  This can still be avoided.  But in a field battle, even if the numbers are equal, the Eight Banners disciples can't win!  Thinking of this, Azige suddenly felt a chill on his back. Once the Ming Dynasty attacks, what can we do to resist?  "Brother?" Duduo saw that Azig's expression was not right, so he pushed him gently and asked with some doubts.     ah!  Azige suddenly came back to his senses.  The expression on his face did not improve, so he sighed.  Said: "Go and make arrangements! Let's leave here as soon as possible. The elder brother will come to pick us up with 10,000 horses. We must meet him as soon as possible." Although he wanted to rush over and fight the Ming army for a life-or-death showdown, Azig knew that he  You can't do this. If you lose these 28,000 bannermen, Daikin will really have no hope.  Zhu Xieyuan was still debating whether to fight Jiannu or not.  Unexpectedly, I received a report from the secret whistle in the middle of the night, and Jiannu ran away!  This made Zhu Xieyuan breathe a sigh of relief. Jiannu ran away on his own, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.  Anyway, with the speed of the Ming army, they wanted to catch up with Jiannu.  That's a fool's dream.  After patting the horse and following him, Zhu Xieyuan continued to rest. As for the tracking, let¡¯s talk about it at dawn!  If we can send the Jiannu away, that's pretty much it.  However, Zhu Xieyuan once again thought of his memorial to Emperor Tianqi. Cultivating slaves was always a disaster, and it was better to assess it as soon as possible.  Zhu Xieyuan didn't understand Emperor Tianqi's thoughts. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty had already had the strength to wipe out the Jiannu.  Emperor Tianqi was not thinking about Jiannu. At this time, Jiannu was already a piece of meat on his lips. Emperor Tianqi felt that he could eat it at any time.  What we need to consider now is the Taiwan Strait, because there is going to be a war there soon.  "Your Majesty, this is the final agreement reached between the Spaniards and the Ming Dynasty. Please preview it." Sun Chengzong stood respectfully below, holding a memorial in his hands, which he had just received.  After taking the memorial from Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi slowly read it, and finally put it aside gently.  He looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile and said: "In that case, let's do what is said above! I will issue an order to Yu Zigao and Qi Jin, asking them to lead the navy to Quanzhou. This time I will calm down the Taiwan Strait in one fell swoop, no matter what  Whether it¡¯s the Dutch or pirates, we can¡¯t let them go. As for the Spaniards, we¡¯ll deal with them later.¡±Chengzong nodded. He is now looking forward to the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty. This is a very profitable business.  However, Sun Chengzong frowned slightly and said with a little worry: "Your Majesty, the naval fleet is certainly very powerful, but after all, it has not been in the army for a long time and has not participated in the war. Will there be any mistakes?" Sun Chengzong is not familiar with naval battles.  This is not his area of ??expertise.  However, as a military strategist, he still had the vision and quickly expressed his worries.  "My dear, don't worry. Maritime warfare is actually very simple. The only thing you rely on is strong ships and sharp cannons. As for other battle strategies, they will be greatly weakened. This is not the first time that Qi Jin and Yu Zigao have led  There will be no problem. Besides, the navy I want is not just a decoration, but an army that can fight!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand. Although he was also a little worried, he must act indifferent at this time.  , showing great confidence.  "Your Majesty, since the Spaniards have to fight this time, and they are begging us, we can take advantage of this. Can Qi Jin and the others not have to devote all their strength, hide their strength appropriately, and let the three of them fight each other? We can also  Let's reap the benefits." Sun Chengzong lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking out his suggestion.  Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, this veteran did not disappoint him!  Emperor Tianqi said softly: "I won't write it in my imperial edict, but I can mention it in the documents of the Military Aircraft Department! Let's handle this matter quickly and let the Spaniards leave as soon as possible. The weather will turn cold soon, so let them go back and prepare.  "This matter is definitely a top priority, and Emperor Tianqi decided to devote all his energy to it next year.  As for the extermination of Jiannu, it was not in Emperor Tianqi's plan at all.  After all, the military reform has just been completed and it will take some time to integrate.  Having finished talking about the Spanish, Sun Chengzong thought it was time to talk about the Portuguese!  After glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong said to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, have you gone too far in supporting the Portuguese? All the warships in the past three years have been given to them. I am afraid that raising tigers will cause problems!" He waved his hand with a smile,  Emperor Tianqi had no such worries at all and said: "My dear, you are too worried. Portugal is very weak at this time. Their country is occupied by the Spaniards, and the Spaniards are their mortal enemies. The reason why I help the Portuguese is because I hope  Find an opponent for the Spaniards. After all, after this battle in the Taiwan Strait, there will be only Ming Dynasty and the Spaniards. Conflict will definitely be inevitable. At this time, the Portuguese will have a role to play!  Explanation of explanation, in fact, Emperor Tianqi's idea is not as simple as he said.  Emperor Apocalypse was thinking about the future. In fact, he was planning on those Spanish colonies.  Emperor Tianqi knew that he could not just focus on the Taiwan Strait.  In the future, it will be necessary to intervene in Southeast Asia and compete for interests there.  If you want to legitimately compete for the colonies there, the Portuguese are the best excuse, and they are also good guides and vanguards.  Although he was very confident in his warships, Emperor Tianqi also knew that the Ming Dynasty had bid farewell to the sea for so many years and needed detailed charts and rich navigation experience, which the Portuguese could provide.  However, Emperor Tianqi would not say these words to Sun Chengzong, maybe because the time has not come yet, or maybe he simply doesn't want to.  Sun Chengzong¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He could feel that Emperor Tianqi was hiding something from him.  But Sun Chengzong also knew that since Emperor Tianqi didn't tell him, it wasn't something he should know.  Emperor Tianqi has always been honest with himself. Since he didn't say anything, there must be his reasons.  "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Sun Chengzong couldn't help but ask when he saw that he had finished talking about what he had promised, and Emperor Tianqi had no intention of letting him go.  Emperor Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then thought of a question, and said directly: "My dear, where do you think it is more appropriate for me to set the sea?" This question stunned Sun Chengzong. He had already heard the rumors that Emperor Tianqi  It seems that he intends to open a sea in Xu Guangqi's hometown.  There was also an intention to let Xu Guangqi preside over the opening of the sea, but it was just a rumor, and Sun Chengzong didn't pay attention to it.  At the beginning, Emperor Tianqi did plan this, but now the situation has become a bit complicated.  If you want to open up the sea in Shanghai, it will take a long time to rebuild the city, which will be very expensive!  After reading Xu Guangqi's budget statement, Emperor Tianqi could only shake his head and smile bitterly. The cost was too high.  Since mountains and seas are not good, then change to another place!  However, Emperor Tianqi didn't know which one to choose. When he saw Sun Chengzong today, he raised this issue and hoped that Sun Chengzong could give him a good suggestion.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
