    Zhou Peigong was accompanying Xuan Ye. Seeing Xuan Ye's sadness, of course he had to speak out: "Brother, you should have endured the pain! Restoring the Qing Dynasty is your top priority! This is  The emperor and his father, the regent, have great hopes for you! Didn't they say that when they sent you here? If anything happens, you will be a very happy emperor!" Xuan Ye smiled bitterly!  Get up, he is the new Manchu emperor?  He has no troops and no power, how can he be a good emperor?  How can we talk about restoring the Manchu Qing Dynasty?  It¡¯s all a fantasy!  At this time, Sony and Suo'etu were both here. Sony said to Xuan Ye: "Brother, when Zhang Biwu defeated Songjin, the emperor and his father and the regent had a premonition that something was going to happen, so they asked me to  I have gathered an army to prepare for my brother's revival in the future! Although there are not many people, they are all the elites of our Qing Dynasty!" "There is an army?" Xuan Ye couldn't help but get excited!  As long as he has military power in his hands, he thinks he is likely to succeed.  Sony said something like this again: "When Zhang Biwu's soldiers were trapped in Shengjing, why did the emperor's father, the regent, and the queen mother let Horqin's people out? It was not to pity them, but to make them appreciate my Qing Dynasty.  En De, just continue to work for our Qing Dynasty! The emperor and the regent also said that as long as you do what you said, with my brother¡¯s wisdom, you can restore our Qing Dynasty!¡± Now, Xuan Ye became interested!  , then asked: "What is it? Tell me quickly!" Urgent!  Would love to know!  Sony said: "It's very simple! Rely on Tsarist Russia and Mongolia! Of course, we must rely on all the forces we can rely on! Absolutely no less! After all, as long as the enemy is our enemy, we are our friend! As long as the forces that remain neutral are likely to be transformed  For our strength! And if my brother does something again, Horqin's power can be used for me!" When Xuan Ye heard this, he nodded. Of course he knew this. It seems easy, but it is not easy to do.  .  No matter what, now we can only take one step at a time.  Xuan Ye is swearing.  He must avenge the destruction of his family and country, and Zhang Biwu will repay him twice as much.  Xuan Ye looked at the people who were fortunate enough to be around him, such as Sony and his son, and the wise and resourceful Zhou Peigong.  Zhou Peigong is a Han Chinese. His surname is Zhou Mingchang and his courtesy name is Peigong.  People call him by his name more often than by his name.  Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong were from Jingmen County, Huguang.  His father died young. When Li Zicheng entered Chu, he was only ten years old, and his mother died in this turmoil.  Therefore, he had great hatred for Li Zicheng and the peasant uprising army.  When Li Zicheng was annihilated by the Manchus, of course he defected to the Manchus, and the Manchus also appointed him.  When Shunzhi was talking to him.  Thinking that he was extremely talented, he originally wanted him to assist Concubine Dong E's child, but Concubine Dong E's child died, so he was asked to assist Xuan Ye instead.  Xuan Ye had great trust in Zhou Peigong and believed that he was indeed talented.  And what about Zhou Peigong?  There was also a lot of gratitude to repay the kindness he had given him, and his mother's hatred was avenged, so he worked for Xuan Ye wholeheartedly.  Jiang Fei also came to Xuan Ye's side at this time.  After all, Zhang Biwu had been searching for him in many ways and wanted to kill him.  Jiang Fei had no choice but to return to Xuan Ye. Although he didn't know if he could fight back, at least he could survive and save his life, which was more important than anything else.  So they got together and began to discuss how to revive. Of course, they had to give the Tsar a good blow.  It is now very difficult to advance westward.  The tsar felt that his future was hopeless. He had intentions to move eastward, but he held on until he focused on moving westward. However, this situation has now wavered.  Because the Tsar heard about the demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he had a premonition that a big master would stand up in the East, especially since this enemy was not like other feudal countries.  They only know how to seize the country and vigorously develop maritime transportation.  Under such circumstances, various Western countries that are powerful countries in overseas trade feel terrible!  Tsarist Russia is directly threatened because in Western countries.  Bordering China's territory is Tsarist Russia.  It is not surprising that the Tsar wants to change his strategy. What he wants to know most now is how the rising general Zhang Biwu will face everything!  And this is what Xuan Ye and the others have to do, to convince Tsar Alexei, and to convince all countries to raise troops to attack Zhang Biwu.  As long as everything succeeds, they can take advantage of the chaos to restore the Qing Dynasty.  This is the last hope!  Put everything on this.  The Tsar felt threatened. Envoys from the Netherlands, Portugal, England, and Spain had arrived. What surprised him even more was that among them were envoys sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan!  It¡¯s so lively now!  There are so manyEveryone gathered together to discuss whether this newly rising power really wanted to gain maritime hegemony?  So these countries will send envoys to Zhang Biwu. Of course, they are nominally congratulating Zhang Biwu for destroying the Qing Dynasty and completing the unification of China. As a result, Zhang Biwu is indeed very ambitious.  This matter needs to be mentioned from the beginning. After Zhang Biwu captured Shenyang, he immediately divided his army to secure other territories in Liaodong. Anyone who dared to resist would be exterminated, and he would never show any mercy.  The main force, Zhang Biwu, still asked the army to return with him. The reason is very simple. If the army is pressed in one place, it will consume a lot of food and salary.  It goes without saying that Zhang Biwu also wanted to bring the army back to the capital and hold a grand celebration banquet to reward the meritorious ministers.  The most critical point is that Zhang Biwu wants to disperse the army and return to the countryside, so that they can return to their true nature as farmers.  Next, Zhang Biwu certainly doesn¡¯t want to use force anymore. After all, people all over the world want to live a peaceful life. If he continues to use force, Zhang Biwu¡¯s rule will collapse.  The most important point is that Zhang Biwu is tired of the war. He just wants to spend time with his family and does not want to fight endlessly.  In Zhang Biwu¡¯s mind, he thought that he could put his horses into Nanshan and put his swords and guns in storage. How can I say that now that there are no enemies, who will he still fight?  Zhang Biwu¡¯s focus is naturally on overseas trade. Others do not understand the benefits of overseas trade, but Zhang Biwu knows it better than anyone else.  In order to vigorously develop overseas trade, he has to reuse members of the Zheng family. In other words, the Zheng family are experts in overseas trade, and they are all engaged in overseas trade.  Zhang Biwu just wanted to make China not only a big agricultural country, but also a maritime power.  At this time, envoys from England, Portugal, the Netherlands, Spain, Japan and other countries came to ask for an audience. They came in the name of congratulating Zhang Biwu for annihilating the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so they had to receive them.  Besides, I don¡¯t know their true purpose of coming, and I don¡¯t know whether they have malicious intentions or if they are sincerely congratulating me, so I have to treat them well!  Isn¡¯t there an old saying, ¡°He who comes is a guest¡±!  At this moment, I finally understood that these robbers were not so kind and came to congratulate me. They came to inquire about Zhang Biwu's future strategy for the sea?  Even if they followed the closed-door policy of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they could at least breathe a sigh of relief. From now on, they would lose a strong competitor. But what they heard now made them both feel bitter, not in the mood, and uncomfortable.  !  Because Zhang Biwu was vigorously developing overseas trade and building a large number of ships to improve their carrying capacity, voyage ability, and sturdiness.  He also developed firearms in order to equip them on warships and cultivate a powerful navy. To this end, he also vigorously opened schools to cultivate maritime talents.  It wouldn¡¯t be terrible if the other party only develops overseas trade and does not pay attention to the military development of the navy!  But now it's completely the opposite.  This made the envoys of various countries feel deeply uneasy. They knew that Zhang Biwu and his China were like a fierce tiger. If he was allowed to catch his breath, he would bite people.  Their overseas hegemony will be greatly threatened, and they will no longer have any financial interests.  Now they all regret it. If they had known they should not have helped the Qing Dynasty in the first place, as long as the Qing Dynasty still exists, they can contain Zhang Biwu!  And the Manchu Qing becoming the masters of mainland China will only benefit them. Although the government does not approve of trade with China, they can only trade secretly with private profit-seeking people, but they can still benefit from it!  Now once the government takes it under its own control, and it is so powerful that it also pays attention to overseas countries, maybe they will be controlled everywhere in the future, and the market will be hit hard!  But what¡¯s the use of regretting now?  Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time.  But what we can know is that these people have reached an agreement through looking at each other.  They will unite.  Naturally, the envoys from various countries did not stay long before they all left.  Zhang Biwu didn't want to keep them any longer, he still had a lot of things to do!  It¡¯s just that he also felt the unfriendliness of these envoys from various countries.  He always felt that something would happen, especially if Xuan Ye didn't catch it.  Zhang Biwu couldn't take it lightly, he still had to treat it with caution, but what he never expected was that these countries would unite to deal with him, which would make him feel a great threat!  In order to open up overseas trade, Zhang Biwu once approached Japan to negotiate, asking Japan to guarantee trade with them. It is okay for you to close yourself off, but you must allow us to trade with you and trade goods. We all have mutual interests.??'s.  At this time, the Tokugawa shogunate was not happy. They also felt the threat posed to them by the powerful neighboring country. They also thought about the fact that their Japanese pirates were rampant along the coast of China and did all kinds of evil things. Now if the other side comes to take revenge,  It is extremely possible.
