Chapter 1450: Balancing Dolgon


The Ming court, from the inside to the outside, the 'New Deal' moved forward step by step in the midst of doubts and turmoil.

Although he encountered such and such problems from time to time, under the helm of Sun Chuanting, he still moved forward in an orderly manner, and according to the established plan, he walked more and more steadily.

Suihai Province, Edo.

Dolgon accompanied Zhang Guowei as he walked through the boot camp outside Edo Castle, watching and 'chatting'.

Dolgon glanced at the Japanese warriors who were training, and said with a flat expression: "Zhang Shangshu, Zuo Liangyu led 20,000 recruits to suppress bandits in the Tanba Domain, Huashan has been guarding Kyushu Island for a long time, Kuroda Tadashi is in the Guanmen Strait, Date Masamune has gone to the north, and the current resistance in Suihai Province is still very fierce, and at this stage, it is still mainly to counter-insurgency......"

Zhang Guowei looked at these Japanese warriors, their every move was very weird, the Ming Dynasty military uniforms they wore were weird, the training methods of the Ming Dynasty were weird, the shouting passwords were weird, and their every move was weird.

Zhang Guowei's face was expressionless, and behind him were his guards, all with wide waists and plates, and their eyes were cold, looking like veterans who had been in the military for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dolgon's expression was as usual, and he continued: "Taisein, the Great General's Mansion is currently operating normally, and more Japanese families have been attracted to the local government, and the control over the local area is further deepening, and the abolition of the feudal domain has already achieved initial results, but Date Masamune, Kuroda Tadayuki, and Kayama Kumamori have heavy troops in their hands, like a feudal town, without restraint, which is worrying.

Although I am also the minister of the Imperial Shoin, there are many supporters such as Nobutsuna Matsudaira and Tokugawa Akihide, and many matters are hindered, so I hope that the Imperial Court will intervene, otherwise it will be difficult to do many things......"

Zhang Guowei didn't look at him, and said indifferently: "The new barracks are too disagreeable, and the whip commander of the military department can't reach them, I will discuss with the marshal mansion and hand over two of the new barracks to you." ” Dolgon's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at Zhang Guowei seriously.

If the Ming Dynasty really did this, it would be equivalent to giving him the right to recruit troops independently, and it would be equivalent to him being free to decide the number of his troops!

It was a direct telling him that he Dorgon could make himself king!

Dorgon is well aware of the intricate structure of the Wa State, which is more to check and balance him, and will not allow him to recruit troops and expand his influence in the Wa State.

But, what did Zhang Guowei mean by what he said just now?

Dorgon had always been calm, but at this moment, his heart was still pounding, and his breathing became fast and slow.

He has had enough of being used as a gun by the Ming Dynasty, and has been trying to get rid of it, although this place is naturally inappropriate, he still wants to struggle, secretly accumulate, and wait for the opportunity.

Zhang Guowei turned a corner and continued: "There are mainly two on the island of China, and the one on Kyushu Island will be taken over by the navy.

The Marshal's Mansion requires you to be strictly trained by the General's Mansion, to retire more than 100,000 people every year, and to have 500,000 well-trained recruits available within three years, and if necessary, the new battalions can be increased by two or three.

Regarding armor and weapons, etc., you draw up an order and order from the Royal Trading Group, and the military department is no longer xiànzhì......"

Dolgon obviously heard what Zhang Guowei said, and asked him to continue to be a thug.

This weapon order is to exploit him again.

Dolgon's heart was like a mirror, but he didn't care at all, his face was even more normal, and he bowed slightly and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ” Zhang Guowei looked at Dolgon, who had always been neither humble nor arrogant, and suddenly became respectful, his eyes suddenly cold, and his tone was indifferent: "The court has given you the right, you have to work harder for the country, don't fight your little Jiujiu anymore, do you think the court is really blind, and you really don't know anything about your actions in the country?"

The secret letters of Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Tokugawa Akihide and others have long been placed on the marshal's desk, and the reason why they didn't dispose of you is just to take care of the situation of the Japanese country, if you don't change your teachings and continue to go against the will of the imperial court, this official can behead you now!

” As soon as Zhang Guowei's voice fell, his more than thirty guards suddenly drew their knives, and the murderous aura was abrupt, surrounding Dolgon, as long as Zhang Guowei snorted again, he could chop Dolgon into pulp.

Not far away, Dorgon's soldiers were so frightened that they were about to rush over.

Zhang Guowei stared at Dolgon, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

Dolgon's left hand was raised slightly, stopping the approaching soldiers, his face was expressionless, he bowed again, and said, "The lower officer understands." ” Zhang Guowei snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

One by one, his guards walked past Dolgon, and the hilt of his sword was not yet sheathed.

Dolgon didn't move, bowed slightly, and motioned to send Zhang Guowei.

Zhang Guowei didn't take many steps, and the staff around him followed, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this Dorgon can't stay!"

” Zhang Guowei naturally saw it, his face was cold, and he said: "This person is a wolf and a kite, and he is definitely not a good person!"

Now is not the time to clean him up, go, call Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Tokugawa Akihide and others to see me. ” The staff quickly understood and said, "Yes, the student will go." ” That night, Zhang Guowei set aside Dolgon and others and hosted a banquet for the local forces of the Japanese state, including Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Akihide.

Although these people do not control the army, they basically control the Taizheng Yuan and control government affairs.

These people are quite wary of the Ming Dynasty, and they are even more respectful and uneasy about this big man of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Guowei's unsmiling face was full of smiles, and he constantly comforted these people, promising to fight for the imperial court, continue to exempt Suihai Province from taxes, treat all families in Suihai Province well, treat the civil unrest of the Japanese State gently, and not start a killing spree, etc.

Naturally, the indispensable addition of officials to the knighthood, such as Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Akihide, are allowed to have 500 to 1,000 personal soldiers, and the wife and shadow are not a problem.

In addition to these ties of himself and his family, Zhang Guowei also revealed that the Xingzi Guifei, that is, the former Wa State Tiānhuáng, was already pregnant, and once he gave birth to a dragon son, he would persuade the emperor and the imperial court to canonize His Royal Highness, who had the blood of the two emperors, as the general of Zhengyi and the minister of Taizheng, to lead the Wa Kingdom, that is, Suihai Province.

For this article, Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Tokugawa Akihide were even more shocked, their frozen expressions were loosened, and they unconsciously became a lot closer to Zhang Guowei.

After drinking all night, Zhang Guowei, who seemed to be drunk, waited for these people to leave, his face gradually condensed, and his eyes flashed.

The staff came in from outside, followed Zhang Guowei's gaze, and said, "My lord, these people, I'm afraid they can't balance Dolgon, at most they will cause some trouble." ” Zhang Guowei took a sip of strong tea, lifted his spirits, and said for a moment: "Don't worry about Kyushu Island, Governor Yang has already taken over."

I'm worried about Honshu Island, Zuo Liangyu has a bad mind, and he has been very close to Dolgon recently.

Kuroda Tadayuki, Kayama Hisamori, Date Masamune and others can't balance Dolgon even if they have their hearts set on the imperial court, so they have to find another way to ......"

The country of Wa is not better than Ānnán, Phnom Penh, here is isolated overseas, not connected with the land, densely populated, more than 20 million people, huge potential, if there is trouble, the Ming Dynasty does not know how much effort it will take to pacify again.

The staff thought for a while and said, "My lord, this matter should be reported to the marshal's mansion first, and it must be planned thoroughly." ” Zhang Guowei wrinkled his brows for a while and said, "Well, when I go back, take a trip to Liaodong, and I want to talk to Yang Sichang." ” Yang Sichang is the executor of the last time he fought against the Japanese, he knows the most about the Japanese country, and his voice is heavier than Zhang Guowei.
