385 It didn't add fuel to the flames

When the messenger saw the emperor, he quickly walked over, holding the next long tube in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles of Dongjiang Town are in a hurry, Jianlu raids on North Korea on a large scale, Governor Lu asks for help."

Emperor Chongzhen never expected that this 800-mile rush was actually Lu Xiangsheng's letter of help. Haha, this is the best, that's all, that's fine!

He was relieved, but when the ministers standing behind him heard this, they were anxious. When they saw the chief assistant Xue Guoguan, he immediately bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, North Korea and my Ming Dynasty are across the sea. Governor Lu's request for help is a bit late. I wonder when it happened?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, North Korea finally returned to my Ming Dynasty." The Minister of Rites also followed the remarks, "If I don't save my Ming Dynasty, North Korea will likely be annexed by Jianlu."

The Minister of War would of course make a speech when it comes to military and national affairs: "Your Majesty, Governor Lu has only about 7,000 troops. If Jianlu invades North Korea on a large scale, it will definitely be difficult to stop Jianlu's offensive with just a few troops. North Korea is in danger!"

“…”

Listening to their report and seeing the fact that there were still ministers who were about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen took the memorial that had been presented to him in his hand, and did not rush to open it, but smiled slightly and said, "I have solved the North Korean affairs, and it's okay."

After saying that, he patted the memorial in his hand, took a quick look, and smiled again and said, "It's just this matter in the memorial, and that's nothing."

When everyone who heard him said was stunned.

Things related to the emperor always make them unexpected, and they will become accustomed to being in a stand-up manner!

When they thought, North Korea was far away from Haide, even Governor Lu's eight hundred miles of rush was just sent. Why did the emperor believe so much that the Korean War was no longer worth worrying about, and he solved it?

Thinking of this, this time, Xue Guoguan asked: "These eight hundred miles of rush have just arrived. How did Your Majesty find out and then solve it so quickly?"

This question is also something that others want to know. Because they couldn't figure it out, they all looked at Emperor Chongzhen, wanting to hear any reasonable explanation?

Emperor Chongzhen was not stumped by this question, and said to Xue Guoguan casually: "This is actually very easy to guess. Think about it, how many years have passed since the last time the enemy entered the pass? Did the materials they plundered have been almost exhausted? Without the blood transfusions from Shanxi merchants, Liaodong is so poor. If they want enough food and supplies, is it only possible to find a way from North Korea? This is one of them!"

"Secondly, Lu Qing's Dongjiang Army has gained a foothold in Liaodong and seriously threatened the flanks of Jianlu. Jianlu will definitely think about eliminating Lu Qing's troops. The best way is of course to attract Lu Qing to the ashore to fight with the main force of Jianlu. Therefore, if Jianlu sends troops to North Korea and creates a situation, it is to destroy North Korea. Then North Korea will definitely ask for assistance. Except for the Dongjiang Army to rescue, there is no other force available..."

Everyone can tell the story of hindsight.

Emperor Chongzhen did not want to expose the eavesdropping system. Of course, even if he said it, others would not believe it. Therefore, he let the hindsight and surprised them.

"...I guess that Jianlu will definitely leave a big city without conquering it, and then the troops will be dealt with by Lu Qing's troops. In this way, Lu Qing will definitely go to rescue. If I expected it well, the place where Jianlu chose would probably be Pyongyang City!"

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's story, many people nodded, and felt that the emperor's reasoning was very reasonable.

However, in the end, some people were relatively sober. Listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, the Minister of War finally asked him about his doubts: "How can Your Majesty know when the Jianlu will start the war?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is very simple! Jianlu suddenly wanted to talk about King De with the Ming Dynasty. He would not talk about it sooner or later, but suddenly he started talking about this matter. I knew that Jianlu was definitely going to attack North Korea. Therefore, he wanted to use this trick to stabilize Guanning."

"So that's it!" The prince immediately said excitedly when he heard this, "So the father decisively led the army to personally fight, and used... to use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao and save North Korea?"

As the prince, after hearing too many stories, he naturally knew the story of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. At this time, he could just show off and immediately told him.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it seems that the prince's homework is not abandoned!"

When the prince heard this, he felt happy and praised by his father!

The prince reminded that the others followed this idea and thought a little more.

The Minister of War also suddenly realized: "In this way, Your Majesty threw tens of thousands of Jianlu heads into Liaodong, creating a situation where a large army attacked Liaodong. Therefore, the main force of Jianlu had to return to aid, and the danger of North Korea was solved?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and thought to himself that you are so smart. You have sorted out everything for me without any more slap.

Empress Zhou and those who are qualified to hear the conversation recently were all senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, the six ministries and nine ministers, etc. They followed all the conversations in their hearts, and suddenly, they couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen in their hearts.

There are some things that they may be able to guess, but they must not guess the truth behind so many things with certainty like Emperor Chongzhen. What is a clear and clear-cut look? This is a clear-cut look! Also, after the emperor can infer the truth from these clues, he will lead the three camps to fight. How decisive is required to make such a decision? Only the emperor has the ability!

Thinking of these things, even civil officials who have been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years and have already cultivated to become elites have to be secretly shocked. They warned themselves in their hearts not to fool the emperor, otherwise, with the emperor's current ability, they will definitely discover it. At that time, the emperor will lead troops to fight and kill countless people, and the previous convictions and conspiracy to conspire to conspire homes, etc., are enough to show that the emperor is not ruthless, but an iron-blooded emperor!

They didn't know that these things were all based on known results and began to infer what happened before. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's magic tricks and wise men, he could infer the truth from all kinds of clues.

If there is no eavesdropping system, just based on this information, Emperor Chongzhen could infer that there would be a ghost. Even if he had some doubts, it would be impossible to send troops to support him. If the inference is wrong, it would be a big hit in Jianlu's arms.

However, all these impossible things have become the wisdom of Emperor Chongzhen, which ordinary people cannot guess or do. Whoever listens to them does not admire them, and whoever respects Emperor Chongzhen!

He stood up and said for a while, and he was ready to pretend, so Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace.

As soon as he left, what Emperor Chongzhen said to the prince, his judgment on the matter and his actions, etc., spread among the officials. Those who were farther away and unable to hear received specific information from the officials he heard. Then, the conversations between officials and his servants were inevitably known to more people. In the end, these things spread among the people in the capital.

It can be said that at this time, all the topics of millions of people outside the capital were revolving around the personal expedition of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Didn't it be that the battle was said to destroy tens of thousands of Jianlu? I worshiped my parents so that they could know the spirits in heaven and comfort them, but what about this head?"

"Yes, I'm also waiting for this pedestal, wondering if I can buy it with money and make it into a urinal after going home for worship!"

“…”

The army had already entered the capital city in a row, but there was no cart of heads. The people in the capital were even a little suspicious when they saw this.

"Can't it be a false report of military merits? But, this was issued by the emperor and the court also announced it?"

"Yes, it shouldn't be fake, otherwise, this is the biggest scandal in my Ming Dynasty!"

"It must have been robbed back by Jianlu, just like before. It's strange. The war in Guanning always kills many enemies, but in the end there is no head level. This has become a routine. Now even the emperor is like this, is it really evil?"

“…”

Just when they were a little suspicious, the truth of the matter spread little by little.

"You are so brave, you dare to doubt the Emperor? You are so incompetent, so you want to say something. You are such a frog in the well!"

"What are you talking about? Tens of thousands of Jianlu, you didn't destroy it in one battle, and Jianlu didn't escape. Who robbed the body? Tell me where did the head level go?"

"Tell you the truth? Do you understand the plan of using those heads to surround Wei to save Zhao? Without these heads, how can we make a big fuss? We will attract the main force of Jianlu back from North Korea!"

"What does it mean, how is the main force of Jianlu?"

"You haven't seen the 800-li expedition just now? That was the memorial for help sent by the Governor of Baoding from Liaodong. The main force of Jianlu invaded North Korea on a large scale. Just relying on Lord Lu's little troops, it was impossible to resist the main force of Jianlu. However, the emperor had expected that he would decisively send troops so that this time the imperial army could personally attack, and the surrounding Wei to save Zhao..."

As those who had already known the news began to show off, Emperor Chongzhen's wise and powerful skills once again became deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen's original words inevitably changed a little more and exaggerated during the repeated spread. Even in the mouths of a few people who like to talk, they were even more exaggerated based on their own imaginations.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became restless in the palace, so he calculated that even if there was a great disaster in North Korea, Governor Lu also had a disaster. He immediately led his troops to rescue, so he immediately led his troops to fight for rescue, which led to these things happening.

Also, why the Battle of Tashan was decided in one battle, Emperor Chongzhen calculated the plan of Jianlu's breakthrough, and then ascended the altar. Suddenly, thick fog rose everywhere, storm, thunder and lightning made Jianlu dizzy. The combat power alone dropped three levels and hit the ambush circle arranged by the emperor, which could only defeat the brutal tens of thousands of Jianlu in one night.

Anyway, afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen had been a little deified by them. All kinds of measures were much more powerful than Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, no matter how powerful Zhuge Liang was, he still had the defeat of Jieting, and could not defeat Wei, and could not destroy Wei, and the death of the Martial Saint. Zhuge Liang did not calculate it, let alone burn the camps.

Of course, a small number of people are still confused and always feel that it is too exaggerated. Although they have witnessed the arrival of the Eight Hundred Miles Express Messenger with their own eyes, these people usually don’t trust others very much, and they are still a little suspicious.

If the mainstream of the capital is now praising the wise and divine martial arts of the current emperor, these people would not dare to express their doubts in their hearts, so as not to be besieged by others.

Later, some news came from the Ming soldiers of the three major camps under the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The main ones were the details of the Battle of Tashan and the emperor's military discussions that he did propose to support the Korean War.

This matter is not what one or two Ming soldiers said, but all the Ming soldiers said this. Especially the generals, military supervisors and others participated in the military discussion and fully knew Emperor Chongzhen's combat plan and rescue intentions. This can also prove that Emperor Chongzhen's previous words outside the capital did not exaggerate or lie. Therefore, fewer people were suspicious in their hearts.

The capital is a metropolis, with people coming and going. Some people come to the capital and hear the deeds of Emperor Chongzhen; some people leave the capital and bring Emperor Chongzhen's wise and magical martial arts to other places in the Ming Dynasty. Even some restaurants and teahouses started to make Emperor Chongzhen's storytelling in order to attract customers. Of course, this storytelling was naturally well-written, and the kind that was even more Zhuge Liang than Zhuge Liang, and in terms of literature, they also began to gradually deify Emperor Chongzhen.

When Lu Xiangsheng's memorial on the summary of the Korean war situation was sent to the capital, the climax of this matter reached its peak. With such authoritative news as evidence, even if there were anyone who had doubts before, there would be no doubts anymore.

In this way, what Emperor Chongzhen said to the crown prince was no longer exaggerated, but it really proved that the emperor thought so, and he had this ability!

"Waiting for the next day, I will restore the entire Liaodong. It will not be too late to worship the Taimiao and boast about military achievements!"

"What is a Jianlu Prince? I will capture the Jianlu fake emperor in the future, and it will not be too late to come to sacrifice to the Taimiao again!"

“…”

Emperor Chongzhen's prestige can be said to have reached a very high level. Apart from Emperor Taizu Chengzu, other emperors of the Ming Dynasty were completely unable to compare with Emperor Chongzhen.

The benefits brought to Emperor Chongzhen were naturally obvious.

Emperor Chongzhen did not add fuel to the whole matter. Continuous victory would naturally bring people together. At this time, he was no longer thinking about this trip to Liaodong.
