A month later, Yang Shanlu hurried back to the capital.
To say that the traffic in this era is really inconvenient. The fastest journey of a few hours for later generations will now take a whole month!
Even Yang Shanlu is still thinking that since the steam engine has been built, even if the train can’t be built later, the new type of passenger ship should be built. In that case, there is no need to travel between the two places. It took so much time.
After arriving, since Chongzhen was very anxious, Yang Shanlu didn't rest and rushed directly to the Forbidden City, where he met Emperor Chongzhen.
"Xian-in-law, you are finally here!" After the two sides met, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and then he said something to discuss with him. After Yang Shanlu heard it, he knew that the matter was really important. And it is not clear in the book of Flying Pigeon.
So what exactly is going on? Simply put, although the Qing Dynasty is now subjugated, the remnants of the Man Qing Dynasty have not been completely wiped out!
According to Chongzhen’s secret knowledge, Huang Taiji’s ninth son, Aixinjueluo Fulin (the historical emperor of Shunzhi), had been secretly sent abroad and hid in secret, and he fled with him. The elite strength of hundreds of people, and a large number of gold and silver treasures, in such a vain attempt to make a comeback in the future!
For Emperor Chongzhen, that was absolutely unacceptable! Want to know that the previous lessons are not enough? At the beginning, it was because Li Chengliang was in trouble to raise tigers, and out of self-interest, he sat and watched the old slaves grow, which caused decades of trouble! Brought a tragic disaster to Daming!
So now, we must never repeat the same mistakes again! This remnant of the Manchu Qing must be completely wiped out!
However, this remnant of the Manchu Qing is not too stupid. Knowing that Daming is so powerful now that it is not safe to hide close, so this time they escaped to Manchuga and hid... They all escaped outside of Daming!
Because this will involve another country, we really need to discuss with Yang Shanlu!
After listening to Yang Shanlu, he was also very surprised... Want to know where the full thorns are added? That's the Malacca Strait of later generations! It is separated from the Liaodong area where the Manchu Dynasty is located, one south and one north, thousands of miles away! But how could Gou Danzi get in touch there? It's unimaginable...
On the contrary, Emperor Chongzhen, seeing Yang Shanlu surprised, explained to him: "Xian-in-law, you don't know anything, this is reported by Commander Jin Yiwei, and the information should be accurate!"
That is to say, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed the country before, after all the important figures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were captured, including the various files and secrets left behind in the Manchu Qing palace, they were all transported back by the Ming army, and then the Emperor Chongzhen Let Jin Yiwei do some screening inside to ensure that there is no fish slipping through the net.
Then after such a screening and a thorough investigation of the secret files of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I found something... That is, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, Aixinjueluo Fulin, mysteriously disappeared! Neither was caught by the Ming army nor found in Shengjing City, so the mysterious world evaporated!
Insert one sentence, really good, it's worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!
Fortunately, in the current Manchu Dynasty, the wall was pushed down by the people, and there was no cohesion. So after discovering this suspicious point, Jin Yiwei immediately launched further reconnaissance, and then captured many eunuchs when he breached the Manchu Palace. After interrogating these people with the court lady, they also found some clues, and finally these clues merged and they pointed to the same place-Man Tingjia!
According to these evidences, just before Shengjing City was breached, Dorgon secretly arranged a team of people to escort Fulin, who was only six years old, and secretly escaped Shengjing City and went to Manchujia to hide! And it was the chieftain who received them! (Similar to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty)
As for the distance between these two places, how they got in touch, it is estimated that there are still many stories in it, but these will only be known until after Fulin is caught.
Moreover, the situation of Mancaijia is quite special. In fact, Mancaijia is a vassal state of Daming (previously, when the national power was strong in Ming Chengzu era, Daming had more than 70 vassal states).
However, with the weakening of the national power of Daming over the years, almost none of these vassals have come to pay tribute. As for the distances like Manchujia, thousands of miles away from the land of Daming, and the vast ocean as a barrier, it has been hundreds of years. No tribute has come, and the relationship between the two countries can be said to have existed in name only.
So now, how should I deal with this former vassal country, the current enemy country (since he dared to hide the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and openly antagonize the Ming Dynasty, of course Emperor Chongzhen put him in the ranks of the enemy country), Emperor Chongzhen gave Yang Shanlu Find it, want to hear his opinion.
Then how clever Yang Shanlu was, he immediately understood Chongzhen's meaning, or understood his difficulties-Emperor Chongzhen was in a dilemma.
According to his original intention, of course, he wanted to arrest Fulin! And severely punish this small vassal country who dared to harbor criminals... After all, you don't have to pay the tribute, and now you dare to harbor Daming's enemies. This is not to take Daming into consideration at all!
The only problem is that if you want to implement it, there are a lot of difficulties, and the biggest obstacle is the road between the two!
If you think about it, there are thorns plus tens of thousands of miles away from Daming, and there is a vast sea in between, so if you send troops to capture it, it will take a year (if you send troops from Fujian seaport), even It's possible for a longer time, plus the complicated conditions in Shanghai along the way and pirates haunt, so the difficulties...
But after Yang Shanlu understood Chongzhen's meaning, he smiled confidently. Haha, if this happened a few months earlier, maybe he would still feel more embarrassed, but now? Now that the steam engine has been invented, with the powerful power of this world, is there anything to worry about
So Yang Shanlu then smiled at Emperor Chongzhen and said confidently: "The emperor, but please rest assured, this matter is covered by the Weichen!"
"Ah!" Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised, but before he could ask any questions, Yang Shanlu had already told him about the invention of the steam engine, and then Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed after hearing this... Isn't it just called There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, but where is another village
Even he felt that calling Yang Shanlu back to the capital was indeed a very wise decision... If you have difficulties, find a good son-in-law! That's true! You see that it was difficult for many ministers of the court to handle things that were originally very difficult, but there is no difficulty in coming to him!
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had no intuitive feelings about the steam engine, but after listening to Yang Shanlu’s simple description, he could realize the power of the steam engine... a powerful machine monster, and he did not need to rest. Yes, that's pretty awesome!
To use an analogy, it’s like sending troops to Manchuga, and if it were launched from Fujian by boat, and then driven by manpower or wind, it would take at least half a year to reach Manchuga, and it would take a year to come and go! If the road is not smooth, the time will be extended!
But now, with this steam engine to provide power, it is very different. The time can be cut by at least half, and it is even possible to shorten it to 1/3! In this way, the difficulty of sending troops has been greatly reduced!
Even after a few days of worries, things can be solved easily now. Emperor Chongzhen is very happy: "Haha, in that case, this matter is left to you, son-in-law, you must take care of it. !"
When Yang Shanlu heard this, he nodded solemnly: "The emperor, but please rest assured, wrap it with Weichen! And promise to do it beautifully!"
The reason why Yang Shanlu took such a big deal and took the initiative to take the matter is also very obvious. For one thing, this matter is really important, and the Shunzhi Emperor in history would never allow him to escape! Including new things like steam engines, no one else knows much, so it is better for him to go out in person.
And second, that is also the most important point, that is, this time the deployment of troops is full of thorns, and it can be said to kill two birds with one stone! Not only can you capture criminals, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to take the bridgehead of Manchujia (turn it into a colony), and then it will be of great help to the future voyage of the end of Ming Dynasty and the great cause of global hegemony!
Because although Mancaijia is a small country (smaller than Hainan Island), his geographic location is unique! He is in the south of Thailand, the Strait of Malacca, which is the only place that Ming Dynasty must pass through for transportation to the Southeast Asia!
And Nanyang has a lot of products, including the more than 70 vassal countries of Ming Dynasty, most of them are in Nanyang. Therefore, if Ming Dynasty wants to be the maritime hegemon and control Nanyang, he must control Manchujia and control this throat!
And for this era, most of the people of Ming Dynasty at this time still have their understanding of the world in the era of Tianyuan, but Yang Shanlu is not like that. He can be said to be the forerunner to unlock the wisdom of the people, including him. In the university hall that is pushing hard, there is also Emperor Chongzhen, where a clear world map has long been hung up! Let them open their eyes to see the world!
So after Yang Shanlu talked about the benefits to Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen was all stunned... This is the global hegemony that Yang Qing has been talking about. Is it finally about to kick off? Then in the end can it really be Megatron in the world, and Daming will become a unique central empire? Wanbang is coming to Korea? Since there is such a bright prospect, Emperor Chongzhen certainly supports it!
However, Yang Shanlu also knew that since he wanted to decide to conquer Manjiga, including the focus of future work, and to shift to the sea, he still needs to ask Chongzhen for a will, that is, he must have the right to control the Daming navy! In other words, prepare for dealing with the old thief Zheng Zhilong in the future!
After all, the old thief Zheng Zhilong, as the maritime overlord of this era, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, his power is very powerful, even at this time he has nearly 200,000 horses! (Han, Japanese, Korean, black, and other races)
But such a person is extremely shameless... In the original history, after the Manchu Qing entered the Central Plains, the world moved, and the heroes of all walks of life were fighting against the Qing! Even like the original Li Zicheng peasant army, they gave up their previous suspicions with the court and formed a loyalty camp to fight the Qing resolutely!
But at this moment, Zheng Zhilong, who holds two hundred thousand heroes in his hand, as an authentic Han, what did he do? With his strength, he has the hope of restoring China, but he shamelessly bowed his knees to surrender! Watch the wind! It is really an out-and-out national scum! To be tied to the pillar of shame in history, to lash out for a thousand years, ah, a thousand years!
Of course, in the end this old dog didn't come to a good end! Was killed by the Man Qing cunning rabbit, cooked by a lackey! Only two years after the surrender, he was slashed by the Manchu! And the whole family had more than a hundred mouths to ask and cut (except Zheng Chenggong), so this kind of refreshment...
So now, since he is going to send troops to full thorns and fight for hegemony at sea later, Yang Shanlu must be able to deal with this old guy! Therefore, Yang Shanlu needs such an imperial decree... to hold the emperor to make the princes, and then kill or slash at that time, it is all based on his heart...
(Now the old thief has been recruited, and from the previous five tiger guerrilla generals, they have all been promoted to Fujian generals, and the left is the governor, so this is the time...)
As for Emperor Chongzhen, he was hesitant this time. Although he hoped that Yang Shanlu would be responsible for this matter at the beginning, but at the end, he knew that Yang Shanlu had to go to Mancaijia in person, so he shook it. Head... If something happened at sea, he would be heartbroken to death!
However, in the end, Yang Shanlu repeatedly assured him that with Song Yingxing’s science and technology, coupled with the newly invented steam engine, he was still active in the coastal area, so the possibility of things happening at sea is very small, and because It is important to win Manjiga, so he must do it himself!
Then, after a detailed analysis of Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen only agreed, and since he agreed, he was afraid that his power would be insufficient, so Chongzhen immediately swiped his pen and gave him a special decree to seal him. Special envoy for the South! (That is to say, it is inconvenient to directly reveal the news of sending troops full of stabs), and then all the water power of Daming will be controlled by him!
In other words, everything that Daming can move on the water must be controlled by him, and then this is very powerful!
Then, after all discussions were completed, and everything was done, Yang Shanlu left the palace.
But when he was leaving, there was a pair of wonderful eyes watching him not far away... and this person was the little princess Zhu Yuxu.
At this time, Zhu Yuhuan is fourteen years old this year and has not seen him for more than a year. She has grown a little taller. From the original cute little loli, she has grown into a slim and beautiful girl-the royal girl has grown up. .
It's just that at this moment, she has a bit of resentment... It's rare for the general to enter the palace once, and he doesn't even come to see her!
But when she couldn't bear it later, she hid outside the hall and overheard what Yang Shanlu was going to do next. She was in awe again... This is the general brother she likes, for the benefit of the country and the people. World!
In this case, the little princess watched him away with tender feelings, and looking at that Ying Ting's back, the little princess still silently sent blessings in her heart... Brother General, this is a safe journey! When he comes back in the new year, Hu'er will give you a roomful fragrance!
Whoaer will gather all the flowers of the palace and make the most beautiful wreath in history, and put it on you, the general brother!
Ps bowed to thank book friend Wang Yishui for his reward! Baima was a bit resigned, but because of your support along the way, I feel that my confidence has been restored a lot, thank you! (End of this chapter)
