Cao Zhengchun, governor of the East Factory!

"Qizou Your Majesty, the slaves think that Yan Ge's words are wrong, and Xu Ge's words are not complete."

Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and said: "The slave girl claims that not only the Aixinjueluo tribe in Jianzhou, but also the officials involved in this case and the aristocratic families should all be killed, and the Yeherala tribe in Liaodong, it can even be said that as long as it is a female Real people, all of them should be executed, and none of them can be left behind!"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

"So, the people that my Ming Empire wants to kill this time should not be 50, but 100 million!"

Cao Zhengchun's tone was flat, and he said the number slowly.

100 million!

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on the ground, exploding in Qianqing Palace.

All the ministers were not relieved for a while.

However, Zhu Qizhen on the dragon chair smiled lightly.

This Cao Zhengchun really deserves to be a roundworm in my stomach, or he understands what I mean, and he can stand up at the right time, speak out the emperor's attitude, and not embarrass the emperor.

No wonder, since ancient times, emperors favor treacherous ministers.

Which emperor doesn't like such a loyal and loyal treacherous official who works for the emperor?

"Okay! If you say that you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

Zhu Qizhen got up abruptly, and said with a smile: "I think this is reasonable. To cut the weeds is to get rid of the roots, or else you will be breeding tigers. Dear friends, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Yan Song slipped off the grand master's chair all at once.

The real person seems to be hollowed out.

At this moment, he finally understood why the emperor only gave him a seat. This was a reward for his 20 years in charge of the cabinet and his dedication to governing the world for the royal family.

But at the same time, it is also telling him:

"Next, don't talk, Aiqing, I've made up my mind. You and I, the monarch and my subjects, don't hurt your feelings because of foreigners."

"It turns out that sitting down on my ass is the life of the entire Jurchen clan."

Yan Song sighed silently.

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

Chapter 73 Cao Zhengchun: The slave has a trick!

"Your Majesty is wise, I will obey your orders."

The emperor has already expressed his attitude that he wants to completely wipe out the troubles of the Jurchens, as well as the 120 and eight families related to it.

Cabinet ministers expressed their support.

"Okay, since all the lovers have no objection."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then, all the lovers will discuss a plan, how to eliminate the troubles in Liaodong?"

To be honest, all the Jurchens in Liaodong should be massacred.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't even blink his eyes.

Think about it, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they kept their heads but not their hair, and only the massacre of Yangzhou killed more than a million of our people?

Now, it's just a blood debt.

Moreover, he did this to prevent future troubles for the Ming Dynasty, so that no matter how many years later, the billions of miles of beautiful rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty would not fall into the hands of the Jurchens.

He is the emperor of the Ming Empire.

There is no selfishness in doing this, it is entirely for the future of the empire.

If he killed these people, he would feel at ease!

If you don't kill, you won't be able to sleep.

And now, although the Jurchens do not recognize them as citizens of Daming from the bottom of their hearts, they still belong to the rule of the Ming Empire in name.

Zhu Qizhen had long wanted to completely eliminate the future troubles.

But before, the Jurchens were quite honest and did not do anything unusual. If they rashly sent troops to destroy them, he would not only be accused of being a tyrant.

The most important thing is that it directly affects the surrounding dependent countries.

They will have fear and suspicion in their hearts. Will the Ming Empire also raise troops for no reason to wipe them out?

It's different now!

The Jurchens attacked Dongchang and the army of the Ming Empire, which happened to hit the barrel of a gun!

The Ming Empire is famous for its division!

For the surrounding vassal states, it is even more of a deterrent. If you dare to fight against the Ming Empire, you will simply seek your own death.

On the contrary, if the Ming Empire ignores it.

On the contrary, the surrounding dependent countries will think that the Ming Empire can be bullied!

At that time, the prestige of the generals of the Ming Empire will definitely be gone!

After a pause, Zhu Qizhen reminded: "As Mr. Yan Ge said, this matter involves a lot. It is obviously not a trivial matter to kill 100 million people."

"I have two worries, and all my lovers should share my worries."

"First, when the Liaodong Jurchens and the aristocratic families involved in the case are wiped out, I don't want large-scale turmoil in Liaodong. In two words, I want stability!"

"Secondly, there are quite a few Jurchen cavalry, and many of them are brave and skilled fighters. To deal with such a large group of troops, I want my Ming soldiers to minimize casualties."

Zhu Qizhen said: "My dear friends, you can speak freely, and you can recommend a commander-in-chief to me. Who should I appoint to complete this difficult task?"

"Come here, give seats to all the lovers."

Now is not the time for the court meeting. These imperial ministers, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, can be said to work overtime for free. Zhu Qizhen, as the owner of this empire building, is not unreasonable.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ministers sat down, they were all rewarded with a cup of tea. While thinking about the countermeasures, they sipped the tea to moisten their throats.

After a while, Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, spoke out first.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the old minister thinks that this matter can be handed over to Hu Zongxian."

Yan Song cupped his hands slightly: "For one thing, the last battle of Datong Mansion has proved that Hu Zongxian really has the talent to lead the army in combat. This time he will be the commander-in-chief and send troops to destroy the Jurchens. At least it can guarantee the victory of the war."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly.

He didn't agree with Yan Song's suggestion, but he was pleased with Yan Song's attitude as a veteran.

You know, just now Yan Song objected to the extermination of all the Jurchens, and even interceded for these aristocratic families who were not deeply involved.

However, only the emperor's will.

Even if he disapproved of the emperor's actions, he would still do his best to advise the emperor.

"Hehe, Mr. Yan Ge really does not shy away from close relatives."

The third in command of the cabinet gave a sinister smile.

Everyone knows that Hu Zongxian is Yan Song's most proud student, and in the battle of Datong Mansion, it was Yan Song's recommendation that Hu Zongxian was able to make immortal contributions.

Now, Yan Song wanted to recommend his favorite student to monopolize military merits, which obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Gao Gong, one of the leaders of the four major Qingliu parties.

If Hu Zongxian made great achievements again, wouldn't Yan Song's position as the chief assistant of the cabinet be more stable?

"Then Gao Ge, what's your suggestion?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly.

Naturally, he was very clear that within the Ming Empire, the struggles among courtiers had always existed.

For this kind of fight.

Zhu Qizhen has always been happy to hear about it.

If the courtiers do not fight, the emperor will not be stable. If the courtiers want to fight, they must want the emperor's support. If they want the emperor's support, they must wholeheartedly seek for the emperor.

This is the emperor's mind!

As for which of these contending suggestions should be adopted and which one should be discarded, this is the wisdom of the emperor.

"Weichen suggested that Qi Jiguang can be transferred from Fujian to command the army."

Gao Gong cupped his hands and said: "This man has fought Japanese pirates all year round. He has experienced hundreds of battles and has excellent military skills. He will definitely be able to take on important tasks and live up to His Majesty's trust."

"No, Qi Jiguang, like Zheng Chenggong, the governor of the navy, has rich experience in naval warfare. It can be said that he replaced Zheng Chenggong as the governor of the navy, and the veterans also supported him."

Yan Song said: "But this is a land battle! The commanders are mainly infantry and cavalry."

"Old Yan Ge, you shouldn't only think of your students for all good things, you should give others a chance."

Xu Jie, the second assistant to the cabinet, stepped forward: "Otherwise, how would you know that Qi Jiguang, who has excellent military ability, does not have the ability to command cavalry and infantry?"

"I recommend Hu Zongxian not because he is my student, but because he can take on important responsibilities!"

Yan Song confronted each other.

Although he is old, his body is still strong.

Otherwise, you will be coughing again.

"Well... this tea is not bad. It's the spring tea that just came up this year. Mr. Yan Ge, you haven't tasted the tea yet. Try it. It's really good. If you like it, let Wei Zhongxian get you some tea later. box."

Zhu Qizhen smoothed things over.

He was really worried that Yan Song, an old fox, would have problems with his body. If something happened to him, it would be an immeasurable loss to the Ming Empire.

Of course, it was also Zhu Qizhen's immeasurable loss.

Just when the cabinet ministers were arguing over the candidate for the coach, a eunuch's voice chuckled.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I have a plan, which can not only prevent great turmoil in Liaodong, but at the same time destroy the Jurchen clan, and at the same time minimize the casualties of my Ming soldiers."

Cao Zhengchun stood up from the grand master's chair, maintaining an extremely humble attitude.

Facing Cao Zhengchun's self-recommendation, Zhu Qizhen did not pretend to be hypocritical, and said generously: "Okay, tell me your idea, if your strategy can make all the lovers who are working on it unanimously pass, this time the troops will be sent to quell the situation." I can let you be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong."

This is the third time Cao Zhengchun has asked for a job.

If he really has a clever plan, Zhu Qizhen feels that he should be given a chance to make a fortune.

Chapter 74 Cao Zhengchun: Everyone is a eunuch, why do you look down on me?

"Your Majesty Qizuo, I feel that I want to completely eradicate the Jurchens in Liaodong at the lowest cost..."

Cao Zhengchun paused, then cupped his hands and said, "First of all, the patriarch of the Yeherala clan should be promoted to rank."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's words fell, the important officials of the empire who were sitting there immediately reacted and understood the meaning of his words.

This is to let the Jurchen snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman of the Ming Empire will benefit.

Among the Jurchens, the Yeherala tribe and the Aixinjueluo tribe are the most powerful. The most important thing is that there has always been hatred between the two tribes.

Over the years, various conflicts have often broken out, and wars of all sizes have continued.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Governor Cao's words are feasible."

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song was the first to stand up and express his attitude, adding: "The Yeherala tribe and the Aixinjueluo tribe each have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Liaodong is bitterly cold and the people are tough. These Jurchen soldiers , can be said to be brave soldiers."

"Although my Ming soldiers can defeat them, but this time I went to Liaodong to fight, because the case involved officials of all sizes in Liaodong and aristocratic families, so we must not use soldiers from Liaodong."

"If you want to transfer troops from other places to Liaodong to destroy the Jurchens, there must be no Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou who are familiar with the terrain."

"So, although our Ming army can defeat these barbarians, it will suffer heavy losses."

"If you take advantage of the internal conflicts among the Jurchens, give the patriarch of the Yeherala family an official title, and let him lead the Yeherala tribe and the Aixinjueluo tribe to kill each other..."

"Two tigers fight to the death, no matter who wins or loses, it will greatly weaken the strength of the Jurchens. When the time comes, I, Ming, will send troops again, and I will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

The more Yan Song said, the brighter his eyes became.

However, at the same time, he also hopes that the Yeherala family will not be ignorant of good and evil. If they can obey the imperial court's arrangement and make great achievements in the eradication of the Aixinjueluo tribe in Jianzhou, perhaps His Majesty will be merciful and spare their tribe .

After all, the one who attacked Xichang Yuhuatian this time was the Aixinjueluo tribe who committed suicide.
