The Nanyang Navy issued an order to order two hundred warships of all sizes. Xun TT was looking for the Korean navy and annihilated it in one fell swoop to cover the next large-scale landing operation. Liu Er was recently dazzled by the Duke's title and did everything he had to do with murderous intentions. Therefore, this time the fleet pointed to by the military front was not too cautious. The warships were raising their sails in the rolling sea.

Lee Hsien, who was sick, was also pulled on the rack by the King of Korea. He was the commander of the Three Navy Division and the supreme commander of the North Korean Navy. Who would not fight if he didn't go to fight? Lee Hsien had no choice but to take office in a hurry and ordered the national navy to gather in Busan. More than 60 turtle ships and forty turtle ships are all the forces of the entire Korean navy. The reason why he chose Busan was because it was close to Japan and there were many reefs on the Geoje Island not far away. If the Ming army's warships could be led there, then with the flexible and compact turtle ships and turtle ships, the Korean navy was not without the possibility of victory.

The North Korean envoy and Emperor Lingyuan arrived at their destination almost at the same time. Shengjing was the capital of Manchuria when she entered the pass. After entering the pass, Shengjing was changed to the capital of Liudu. Five ministries, including households, military, criminals, and labour, each ministries set up ministers, and the internal ministers were appointed as general managers, leaving behind Shengjing. The news of the Ming army's raid on North Korea caught the Manchus in Shengjing off guard. Didn't the Ming army suddenly appear in Japan and were preparing to launch a war against Korea? No one answered the question marks in succession, but there was a very clear question. The Ming army's decree of the Ming army was not a problem. As a barrier to Liaodong, North Korea must be kept, otherwise the entire hometown in Liaodong would fall into war, and Taizu and Taizong's imperial tomb would be lost. This is no longer a pure military issue, but a very serious political issue.

The problem arose again. Just a year ago, when Obai went to the southwest, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Kangxi had already transferred the troops from Liaodong to the pass to garrison the capital. General Shengjing led his army thousands of miles away. Today, Shengjing City can fight at most 5,000 troops.

The Minister of Interior, Hamrasu was anxious. The Koreans might be confident that their navy could defeat the Ming navy, but he didn't believe it. The Southwest War Report was spread throughout the various prefectures and government offices from the divine newspaper. Hamrasu had already learned about the power of the Ming army through the divine newspaper, but he could not tell the Koreans that the Ming army was very powerful. You must be careful. Such a result is likely to lead the Koreans to surrender to the South Ming without hesitation. Whoever knows the virtues of the vassal states, and whoever has the strength is strong will follow. It is useless to talk about friendship.

What should I do? If reinforcements cannot be sent to North Korea to fight, then North Korea is likely to fall under the alliance between the Southern Ming and Japan. Once this happens, Liaodong, which has no defensive forces, will be finished.

Hamrasu made up his mind to fight and must continue to fight! There are still 40,000 bannermen in Shengjing, who can recruit 5,000 people to fight. In addition, 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers, they can be sent to Korea first. The remaining Liaodong cities have weak forces and they can't be taken out, so they can only ask the court for help. It will take at least two months for the heavy troops from the capital to arrive in North Korea, and North Korea must persist for two months.

…

The emergency reports from Liaodong reached the capital, and the entire city of Beijing suddenly became a mess. If it means that the army captured the six southwestern provinces, it would be nothing. If Liaodong is lost, the Manchus' nests will be gone. Which Manchus in the capital have no relatives outside the pass? Moreover, the tombs of Taizu and Taizong are also there. Once they are lost, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the Manchus.

Ministers of various departments and courts in the capital, Princess and Princesses, Princesses, Princesses, Dukeses, Bozinan, who had some power and the threshold of the mansion of the title were cut off, and relatives who could not be beaten everywhere came to inquire. Some asked to go back to Liaodong to fight, some hoped to take relatives outside the control to the capital, and some were confused and trembling and didn't know what to say.

The worst part is Sony. The house is surrounded by people from Zhenghuang Banners and some relatives from the old town. Since Obai left Beijing, Sony has been at its peak. The only local minister in the capital, and the emperor has discussed many things with him. Therefore, everyone naturally has to come and ask about the situation and inquire about the news and make preparations for the response.

"Master, you have to say the right thing. The slave family is still outside the pass. Will the court send troops? If it does not send troops, the slave will also quickly bring the young and old into the capital."

"Zhongtang. You are rich now. We don't want you to reward you. I just want you to go to the emperor to ask if we can make up for the land in Jilin. My family is pointing at that farm."

……………………………………………………………

Sony is also on fire. Now the whole city is full of people yelling to send troops to North Korea. Sony also has this opinion. But Xiaozhuang has been unable to make up its mind. The reason is very simple. More than 100,000 elite troops from the capital have moved to the Yangtze River. The control is under Oboi. Now the capital is guarding the capital, which is 150,000 soldiers outside the pass. If it is

Of course, the imperial court would decisively send troops from the capital to the North Korea to fight to the decisive battle. But the question v|The Ming army in foreign countries actually used the navy to control Japan and attacked Korea with Japan. What does this mean? It shows that since the Ming army could travel across the ocean to Japan to Korea, is it possible to use the navy to reach the Bohai Sea in Tianjin and then directly seize Beijing City?

Liaodong wants to protect it, shouldn't Beijing City be protected? Liaodong has the imperial tombs of ancestors, many family members, and imperial villages that stretch thousands of miles. However, there are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in Beijing, and there are more than 100,000 bannermen and large territories. Once Beijing loses, it means that the entire Qing Dynasty is over. This is definitely not a joke. Therefore, Xiaozhuang would rather abandon Liaodong than take the risk of transferring the elite outside the pass to make Beijing's defense omissions.

Nowadays, the elites of the Qing Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River and the front line of the Gyeonggi. The Yangtze River's defense was to resist the Ming army's northern expedition, and the Gyeonggi's defense was to protect the heart of the Manchus. There were no extra troops to guard Liaodong. The Mongolian princes outside the pass had some soldiers. Unfortunately, the Junggar tribes in West Mongolia colluded with the Russians to attack other tribes in the Mongolian grassland to expand their strength. The Mongolian princes dared not send troops to expedition. Maybe the warriors of the tribe left before they killed the Junggar sword. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, Xiaozhuang could only make a chess-up move. Everyone had played the trick of losing the car and protecting the coach. But the question was whether it was Jiangnan or Liaodong to make this car.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not speak, and Sony could only continue to wait. He was old and could not withstand such troubles. Faced with so many relatives of the bannermen who were also hurried to inquire about the news, he could only choose to thank the guests behind closed doors.

But it’s not the case to hold on. You have to make up your mind. Sony is a little dissatisfied with Xiaozhuang’s hesitation. Women are still women after all. How can they hesitate like this when encountering big things? The more time goes by, the narrower the court’s choice will be. In the end, I don’t know how many opportunities to turn the tables will be missed.

In fact, Sony was thinking a little bit. Xiaozhuang was not dragging it, but waiting. What was waiting for was Oboi's statement. Liaodong must not be defensive, and the capital was the top priority. The only way was to draw elite troops from the Yangtze River to go north to help. However, Oboi was not someone else, and it was not an imperial edict and an order that would make him obedient. The only way was to wait. I, Xiaozhuang, are not anxious, but to see if you, Aoboi, are anxious.

The hesitation of the outside court and the inner court made the people in the capital even more panic. Some close relatives Prince Beile also asked for advice everywhere, inquired about any news outside the pass, and wanted to meet with the emperor and asked to send troops to the court. Kangxi always comforted him kindly, but did not make a promise. Liaodong was the root of his ancestors. Nanming had attacked North Korea, so how could the empress dowager and the emperor remain indifferent? The dissatisfaction gradually spread.

At this moment, Xiaozhuang calmly ate on the collapse of Cining Palace, looking as if the mountain collapsed before her unchanged. She looked older and older. Since that illness, her carefully maintained black hair has now been mixed with many silver-white hair tips.

Sitting opposite her was the young Kangxi. Now Kangxi is becoming more and more mature, and his eyebrows are also stable. Although he is only fourteen years old, he does not have the childishness of his peers. He bows slightly and still can't help but speak: "Grandmother, the people in the capital are now in panic. If the court does not do anything anymore, I'm afraid...

"Don't panic!" Xiaozhuang's voice was loud, and he rubbed his legs and said, "The soldiers and horses in the capital must not be sent out. It would be better for the Ming people to dig Taizu's tomb. This matter cannot be discussed. If there is a loss in the capital, it will be a disaster for us.

”

Xiaozhuang's volume was lowered a little, and there was a bit of ci He in his tone: "Xuan, you must know how to make choices in governing the country. Which one is important and which one is not important must be clearly distinguished. Although the ancestors of Liaodong are important, aren't hundreds of thousands of living people in our pass? If the Ming army warships can travel to Japan, can't they go to Shandong, Zhili, and Tianjin? Once we transfer the army to Liaodong, what should we do in the capital? What should we do in the pass?"

Kangxi nodded: "The emperor's grandmother's meaning is right. The capital is more important than Liaodong, and Liaodong is more important than Jiangnan. I am afraid that Aobai will not be willing to bring back the five camps of the capital. If I really lose Liaodong, I will be really shameless to see the world."

Xiaozhuang curled his lips: "If we urge him to move to Liaodong, he will probably not come back, but if the emperor does not call him back, he will have to come back. You can wait and see."

Xiaozhuang sighed softly again: "Once the 100,000 elite troops are transferred to Liaodong, although those green camps are known to be 300,000, they are mostly mobs, neglecting to practice and guarding the defense lines of seven or eight provinces. I am afraid that Jiangnan or Huainan will always take advantage of the Ming army. It is the Qing Dynasty's money, grain and rice warehouse, but if there is any mistake, the strength and weakness will inevitably be reversed. Xuan, you must support it, and all the fate of the mankind is placed on you."
