December is coming, and this is the coldest time of the year in Beijing. It has been several consecutive snowfalls. At night, it is definitely a temperature of minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius. The north is whistling and roaring into ice, and it is cold to the core.

Tian Shuying was really skillful and spun the wool into thick threads under her thinking. Because it took too long to weave the wool yarn, and Tian Shuying saw that Zhu Yinglong's hand was frozen red every night. Although there was charcoal fire, the room was too big and cold, so she had the idea of ​​knitting gloves first. The first pair of pairs were either long or thick, and finally she truly mastered the technique of knitting gloves. The first pair of this finished product was naturally presented to him, the emperor. Zhu Yinglong was overjoyed when he saw it. It was still this little girl who knew what he thought and knew how to feel sorry for others. She picked up Tian Shuying and kissed her smooth forehead for more than ten times before she let it go. Because of this little thing, she spent the night in her bedroom for three consecutive nights. She envied the other girls to death, and shouted that he was biased and was unable to offend the public. She had to agree to it.

Gloves are not new in this time and space, but this kind of knitting can not only keep the cold, but also apply it flexibly. It seems that what does not need to be removed has not appeared yet. Zhu Yinglong brought this pair of wool gloves to court, and Zhu Yinglong even showed off in front of the court officials. However, he did not say who wool gloves were woven. He was afraid that these ministers would randomly suspicious, and he also thought about the matter of the Queen of Reigns. However, some things were not covered by paper, and soon news of Ying Fei’s favor was heard, which also made some anxious court officials feel relieved that the emperor was determined to make Ning Fei the Queen.

In the eyes of the people, everything in the tall red wall is both what they envy and what they long to know. Everything that comes from it will be infinitely concerned and become a topic of their after-dinners. These rumors are heard in Zhu Yinglong's ears, at most they laugh it off and don't take it seriously.

Recently, there have been good news. First, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Huguang, Sichuan and Shanxi military affairs, had been missing for nearly a month, and was persuaded by Jin. Wang, who had a heavy responsibility, swore allegiance to the Beijing court. Wang, who was carrying heavy responsibilities, went south to Guizhou and Yunnan. His next step was to meet the local emperor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the Duke of Qianguo, Mu Qiyuan, of course, the purpose was to make this King of Diannan, who was loyal to the Beijing court.

There is another unexpected news to Zhu Yinglong, that is, Ye Lianyi's grandfather, the former chief minister Ye Xianggao, with the assistance of several loyal and brave men, including Yuan Chonghuan's two younger brothers and cousins. These are the people Wei Zhongxian wanted to deal with. Under the secret convening of Ye Xianggao, these people united to kill Wei Zhongxian and captured his left governor Tian Ergeng, and then took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Fujian Governor's Office, seized the military and political power of Fujian Province, eliminated the power of the eunuch party in Fujian, and then sent people to contact the Beijing court. Ye Xianggao was the father-in-law of the state. When he climbed up, the wind and clouds in the south suddenly changed color. Some Donglin Party members sold their own people to Wei Zhongxian because of Qian Qianyi. In dissatisfaction, they secretly moved their families to Fujian.

This kind of struggle seemed to occur in several other provinces under Zhongxian's control, but they did not have a prestigious leader like Ye Xianggao. In addition, they were too close to Nanjing, so they were easily suppressed by Wei Zhongxian. However, Fujian was different. Although Wei Zhongxian held hundreds of thousands of troops, he did not dare to mobilize one army and one soldier to the so-called suppression of the rebellion. Ye Xianggao did not dare to act rashly, because there was only one undespicable navy in Fujian, and the total army on the road was less than 20,000. He did not know the exact situation of the Beijing court and did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, although he controlled the military and political power of Fujian, he did not dare to take any action for the time being. More importantly, there was no qualified military commander. So after he controlled Fujian, the first thing he thought of was waiting for the instructions of his grandson-in-law.

When Zhu Yinglong saw this person who had been jostling on the sea for nearly a month, he was naturally overjoyed. He first informed the good news to Ye Lianyi, who was worried about his family's safety in the palace, and then informed them to various departments. This was the best news that Zhu Yinglong received when he bid farewell to the seventh year of the Apocalypse and entered the first year of Chongzhen.

What Zhu Yinglong even more unexpected was that the messenger actually came on the sea boat of Zheng Zhilong, a pirate merchant who was rampant in the Fujian Sea. There was also a person who unexpectedly Zhu Yinglong. This person was Zheng Zhilong's third brother Zheng Hongkui. Zheng Hongkui's purpose was naturally to test the attitude of the Ming court in Beijing towards them, these pirate merchants. In addition, a deeper purpose was to see that he, the emperor, was sitting on a longer dragon throne, or the life of the Eunuch Wei in Nanjing would be longer. I could see it with my own eyes, so I could go back and give his brother a reference.

Zhu Yinglong naturally saw through the thoughts of the third brother of the Zheng family and instructed Shi Kefa and Zhou Huaian not to interfere with all Zheng Hongkui's actions in the capital and just stare at it carefully. Moreover, it was necessary to rely on his ship to bring Ye Xianggao's messenger back to Fujian!

The sudden change of flag in Fujian means that Wei Zhongxian's carefully planned northbound plan has gone bankrupt. If there is a threat from Yunnan, Guizhou, Mu Qiyun, then he can only stay in Nanjing and guard such a few wealthy provinces. He will not dare to go north without gathering enough strength within at least three years. He has to solve his worries before going north. In addition, there is a navy in Fujian, which has helped Zhu Yinglong a lot of money. Although this navy is very weak in combat, there is still no big problem with using it for transportation and trade. Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi can be continuously transported to the north by sea.

, greatly alleviates the shortage of food in the north, and there is also suspicion that through Zheng Zhilong, he went to Japan to buy grain. Although Zheng Zhilong is still waiting and watching, he will not fail to make money. As long as the people in the north can survive this winter and the first half of next year, the situation will improve. The court is vigorously promoting some grain and economic plants that can grow in relatively drought conditions. The land in the west is not as excessive as it will be in three hundred years later. If it is well protected, it can completely reproduce the gratifying scene of a large granary a thousand years ago. Even if it cannot be done, self-sufficiency can always be done!

Peace talks are when both parties grinding their teeth. It depends on who has good teeth, and who can persevere to the end. This is definitely not as good as these literati doctors who rely on verbal words for the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, for the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Hongxun was basically grinding his teeth with two traitors. Among the three, Zhou Wenyuan's final opinions were based on Zhou Wenyuan's final opinions. Liu Hongxun knew best that Zhou Wenyuan was a person around the emperor and was sent to supervise them to make mistakes. Later Jin also saw that the deputy negotiating envoy was a bit more important than the other party's official envoy, and he was hinting to him that if he relaxed in the peace talks, he would have to thank him very much. But Zhou Wenyuan had already sold his life to Zhu Yinglong. Moreover, if he received heavy rewards from the Later Jin Dynasty, he would probably have no life to enjoy it. He would not do such stupid things!

Hanging on a tree is naturally not Zhu Yinglong's style. Although North Korea has restrained the Later Jin Dynasty to a certain extent, Huang Taiji's asking price at the negotiating table is getting lower and lower, it has not reached the bottom line in Zhu Yinglong's mind. Therefore, the negotiations have always been arguing with some irrelevant terms, and there is almost no substantial progress. Instead of giving the interests to the Later Jin Dynasty, it is better to give the interests to the Mongolians. The Later Jin Dynasty was attacked by Mongolia and North Korea in the east and west. I see how you negotiate with yourself. So Zhu Yinglong asked Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, to lead a huge mission, and sent many Mongolian tribes in succession, and reached many agreements that both sides could get affordable, especially in terms of steel. Due to the new steelmaking method, the original

There is no need to use the large amount of inferior steel that has been accumulated. Some of these steels are refined, and some are sold to Mongolian tribes to strengthen the strength of these Mongolian tribes and drive away tigers and wolfs. In particular, they have seen a neighbor gradually become stronger and erode their living space step by step. Among them are the Mongolian Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe who has a great hatred with the Jin people. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he used both soft and hard methods to win over and conquer the Nekharkha (Barin, Zarut, Bayuet, Uchiyet, Hongjilat) and Korchin tribe on the periphery of the Chahar tribe, which greatly weakened the power of the always powerful Chahar tribe. So Huang Taiji pointed the edge of the military operation directly at the Chahar tribe.

Naiman and Aohan were members of the Ba'Otok Chahar and had a great influence. Nurhaci and his successor Huang Taiji had long inspired Minister Naiman to surrender to the Later Jin through the influential Eumathatchorji Lama in Naimanotok. In February of the seventh year of Tianqi, Huang Taiji secretly sent people to the location of the Gunchuk of Naiman tribe, hoping that Gunchuk of Naiman tribe would persuade the leader of the Aohan tribe, Sonomudulen and the leader of the Keshkteng of the Kershikteng of the Kershikteng to surrender to the Later Jin. In April, Naiman and Aohan tribe sent people to say that they had persuaded Lin Dankhan to make peace with the Later Jin, but their efforts were rejected by Lin Dankhan and Keshkteng of the Ministers. In June, Naiman and Aohan ministers sent Eumathatchorji Lama to Duerbi City and informed the two Mongolian tribes of the Later Jin to surrender. Huang Taiji led Zhu Beile to cross the Liao River from Duerbi and welcomed the two ministers.

The largest Mongolian tribe on which Liu Zongzhou sent this time was the Chahar tribe. He brought 2,000 taels of gold, 100 dan of salt and tea, 10,000 pieces of silk cloth, exquisite porcelain, jade, glassware, and various daily necessities. He also brought the golden seal of the Mongolian Khan whom the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gave him. The two sides reached a certain consensus on trade and joint suppression of the power of Huang Taiji and the Later Jin. Of course, after Huang Taiji learned about it, he naturally tried his best to destroy it.

The ministers of Chahar Alakchut who secretly agreed to surrender to him, Dorjiyilden, Anban Heshuoqi, Kokkenbatulu, Ankunduling and other Taiji were malicious instigated the Ming Dynasty. Mongolians and Jin people were originally from the same clan, and Han people were their biggest enemies. The Han people did this to make them kill each other, river clams fight, and fishermen benefited. But Lin Danhan was not a too stupid monarch after all, and he also saw what the Ming court intended, but for now, the enemy of Mongolia was not

The Ming court is the Later Jin Dynasty, which is a visible threat. Although Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty have a similar relationship, they are enemies. Not to mention anything else, Huang Taiji has annexed so many Mongolian tribes over the years, and this grudge is not so easy to settle. There is also the Lama Red Sect he believed in. The religion he believed in gradually changed from the Samanism of this sect to the Lama Huang Sect. The Lama Huang Sect and the Red Sect are mortal enemies. Unless one side dies, they will never be able to get together. Therefore, it is established.

The Lord signed a border trade friendship agreement with the Ming court, and gave back ten thousand cattle and sheep, thousands of horses and horses of the Ming court. Lin Danhan even intended to marry the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could choose a princess to marry his son Ezhe, and at the same time hoped that his daughter, the beautiful Princess Taisong (made up by the author), would become Zhu Yinglong's concubine. Liu Zongzhou did not dare to take action without authorization for such a request, so he sent someone to report to Zhu Yinglong, but he stayed in Chahanhao to wait for Zhu Yinglong's will.

It was time for Zhu Yinglong to receive this memorial from Liu Zongzhou in the first month of the first year of Chongzhen. As for why he used the year name of Chongzhen, it was Zhu Yinglong's guilt for the original owner who occupied this body. Isn't it just a year name anyway? He actually doesn't care.
