In Romance novels, a certain Zhiduoxing often calculates his fingers and turns his mind: "I think this person will do whatever he wants."

This has become a common method for novelists to shape wise men. Although it is not ruled out that someone is gifted and can calculate his moral character when he meets others. However, in more cases, it is still necessary to use analytical techniques to infer the person's psychological state and habits, thereby obtaining the option with the greatest possibility.

On the question of whether to give up Chenyang, it is not possible to just look at Dorgon alone, but also to look at the group psychology of the entire Manchu race.

The Manchus were originally Tungus race who went south, but later moved to the Jianzhou Wei of the Ming Dynasty. In order to obtain a legal residence status, they pretended to be the Jin Jurchen.

After decades of fighting with the real Jin Jurchen tribe in Liaodong, this Jurchens implemented the Jurchens to the end in order to gain national identity. Nurhaci established the "Big Jin" regime, which was precisely for this reason.

Therefore, this Jurchen tribe despised the Jurchen tradition very much. They also made a living by fishing and hunting like other Jurchen tribes, but were better at learning the advanced culture of other tribes. First, they evolved from the savage era to the tribal era, and later they learned the integration of military and civilians in Mongolia, and Nurhaci created the Eight Banners system. Later, they caught up with Li Chengliang's "using barbarians to control barbarians", and learned the Ming army's tactics, military system, and city building.

The biggest difference between Jianzhou Jurchens and other Jurchens is that they can build cities and live.

This undoubtedly increases the people's ability to survive in harsh natural environments and ensures that they have the upper hand when fighting with other tribes. Manchu's worship of cities arises, and only by building their own cities can he feel safe. This habit continues until they build a "money city" to live alone after they enter the pass.

Although they valued cities, because their level of civilization was too low, it was impossible for large-scale urban agglomerations to appear. Because of their low technical level, they could only be laughed at by the Ming army in siege and defending the city. In the most declining era of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was frightened by Jiannu, but as long as they defended the city, they could last for many years.

Chenyang City was an important town of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. It was not as attractive as Liaoyang at first. Nurhaci took a fancy to Chenyang's strategic position and moved the capital from Tokyo (Liaoyang) from Liaoyang and named it Shengjing. Three generations of Manchus lived in this city and regarded it as their own thing. How could it be so simple to give up?

Zhu Cilang even confirmed the actions of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Even in the third generation of Kangxi and Yongzheng and Gan, the Manchus' rule within the pass had been completely consolidated, but he still insisted on sealing the borders and did not allow Han people to go to the homeland of Manchus. Not to mention during the Shunzhi period, Manchus were always ready to retreat outside the pass.

So you are more than 90% sure that once Liaodong shakes, the Manchus will definitely not sit idly by.

If Huang Taiji was still alive, he might be able to withstand the pressure. However, Dorgon did not have the prestige of his brother, and Shunzhi was just a child. No one could stop the army that was eager to return home.

"There is no 100% war." Zhu Cixuan said: "Although Dorgon's chance of going south by life and death is extremely small, as long as someone raises it, we must not ignore it." The Ming people thought so, but it was not ruled out that Manren also had such an idea. Since they had such an idea, no one knew whether history would make it a reality.

"So, the inspection departments of each county will draw one of the fifth ones and form inspection camps as reserves." Zhu Cixuan said.

The Inspection Department is responsible for the security of the county, hundreds of large counties and dozens of small counties, and the soldiers are from the eliminated recruits in the recruit battalions, and belong to the active-service organization. Zhu Cixuan temporarily built such a reserve army, and did not expect them to turn the situation around when the war was not going well, but used to transfer military funds, the people, and maintain the smooth road for the army to retreat south.

"The establishment of the inspection camp is not related to the war. The General Staff proposed the candidate and submitted it to the Ministry of War for a document." Zhu Cixuan added.

In the summer of the 18th year of Chongzhen, the summer offensive entered a intensive preparation. Half of the grain transported from Annan was left for military rations, and the rest were mainly transported to Shanxi and Henan to maximize the relief of the people. On the contrary, after making full use of the geographical advantage, Shandong was able to use half of the grain such as sweet potatoes and corn to satisfy hunger, and basically maintained above the survival line.

...

"Judge Zheng is fine. Don't be fine." A person dressed in a middle-aged official bowed to Zheng Zhilong from afar, smiled happily, and said, "There are magpies calling out there these days. Our family thinks, there is probably something happy. Just now, Jujue actually came in person, which is really a happy event."

"Eunuch Wu, you are kind." Zheng Zhilong returned the greeting to Wu Qingchen with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong went into the sea with his uncle at the age of 18, and was baptized in Macau, becoming a Catholic, and was named Nicholas. Although his life was full of legends, he is indeed the most powerful figure in the East China Sea, but he is not a hero.

A hero can take risks for ten times the profit and bet on a hundred times the profit. Zheng Zhilong is a person who is trying to make the decision. He has no persistence and can sell anything as long as the profit is big enough. Once the situation changes, he will turn against others.

As Liu Ruoyu's confidant, Wu Qingchen was ordered to go south to Fujian last year to contact Zheng Zhilong, hoping that the Zheng family's fleet could be divided into some to go north to serve the king. The crown prince promised his title, population, and land, and even admitted his eldest son Zheng Sen in disguise. Under such generous conditions, Zheng Zhilong did not let go.

Because he really doesn't like a prince who is not as weak as a crown prince, who can have the means to turn things around.

It was not until the Eastern Palace Army won the battles and spread the news of victory across the country with the "Huangming News" that Zheng Zhilong discovered that this crown prince really had the power to turn the world back! Since you have the strength, why don't you add icing on the cake? This is why Zheng Zhilong sent his general Shi Lang to lead his troops north.

However, Zheng Zhilong did not immediately send troops to recover the land of Taiwan because the Dutch on Taiwan’s island is not weak and he is still abiding by the rules of his Zheng family. Let’s leave it for now and see the situation.

Under this conservative mentality, even if Wu Qingchen said it in a mess, it was destined to have limited results.

In the past, Zheng Zhilong always "invited" Wu Qingchen to come over if he had anything to do. Today he came to the door in person, and everyone knew that there must be a hidden story.

Wu Qingchen was born in the palace and played with people's hearts and conspiracies to perfection. Don't look at his nagging, isn't it a self-protection attitude?

"Please, let's talk inside." Zheng Zhilong had a strong accent, and he could only say simple words when he communicated with Wu Qingchen.

Wu Qingchen then looked like he suddenly realized and said, "Please, Lord."

The two entered the guest hall and separated the host and sat down. Before Wu Qingchen could speak, Zheng Zhilong said first: "Eunuch Wu, Zheng has something to ask his father-in-law to tell the court."

"This is why our family lives in Fujian Province." Wu Qingchen smiled and said, "What is the lord's order? Just say it."

"Zheng wants to send his eldest son to lead 200 ships to the north to serve the king and return to the commander of Shen." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

Wu Qingchen laughed and said, "Sir, indeed, is loyal to the country, and is the example of my ministers in the Ming Dynasty!" He was just concerned about playing with his horse and did not say anything at all.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong could not send two hundred and his eldest son out for nothing. Seeing that Wu Qingchen refused to answer, he had to offer a bid code by himself. He said: "My father wants his eldest son to attend Huangming Naval University, I don't know if it is possible."

Wu Qingchen only learned from the "Huangming Bulletin" that there is such a "university" that is just a little worse than the "Taixue" than the "Huangming Jingshi University" established before. Think about it, the Imperial Academy was run by the emperor, so wouldn't the crown prince only run a university?

"Mr. Our family is not good." Wu Qingchen said: "You also know that our family works as a worker in the palace and we are not familiar with the navy."

"Please..."

"But the Lord's business is our family's business! Our family must ask someone to inquire. Besides, since we have started a school, we have to recruit people to study. The Lord's business is willing to let the young master go to study, which is to give them face." Wu Qingchen talked happily.

Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly, he didn't dare to say "give face" words.

After the establishment of the Huangming Naval University, Shi Lang was ordered to serve as the chief instructor and would naturally inform the old master of the situation in the university. Zheng Zhilong learned from this that although this seemed to be a school that trains sailors and captains, it was very popular with His Royal Highness. Not only did he write an article to celebrate the start of school, he also submitted a letter to the emperor, hoping that King Yong of Ding would go to school after he grew up.

Regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, or whether the two kings will really go, this signal has been completely released.

"Oh, the dog son is not patient with scriptures, so he can only learn some martial arts. I am busy with military affairs on weekdays and have no way to educate him. Maritime affairs are the foundation of my Zheng family, so I just take advantage of this." Zheng Zhilong said humbly.

Wu Qingchen said the mouth was splashing everywhere, but it was not leaking. He just agreed to help Zheng Zhilong make arrangements. He didn't say that it would definitely work. Zheng Zhilong was just throwing bricks and attracting jade, but the key point was still behind, and it was the issue of trade with Japan.

Chen Tingyang launched trade with Japan in the name of the Ming Dynasty court, and the ships dispatched were numerous and large, which seriously damaged Zheng Zhilong. However, Chen Tingyang was conducting maritime trade for the country, so Zheng Zhilong did not dare to turn against him easily.

"It is better to set up a Maritime Bureau by the court to collect taxes and fees, which is enough to enrich the country's people." Zheng Zhilong said: "It is better to leave the business to merchants."

Since we cannot use power outside the rules, it is best to limit both sides. As long as the Shandong navy does not conduct trade with Japan, who can be the opponent of the Zheng family fleet if it is replaced? Moreover, the Maritime Bureau is not difficult to manage. The clan selected a few clever and clever sons and nephews to serve as minor officials. Are you afraid of the officials sent by the court?

Wu Qingchen, um, ah, for a long time, said: "Judge is talking about national affairs! It is better for our family to write the book in person, so as not to pass on the wrong words and ruin the major affairs of Judgment. Alas! Look at my stupid mouth!" Wu Qingchen gently patted his lips and corrected: "It is a major affairs of the country! Judgment is devoted to public service, so what is the private matter!"

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect that Wu Qingchen, who was like a jester, was turned away and did not even give him a chance to bribe. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he was helpless. Could he still turn against the court for a eunuch? He had to turn around and go another way.
