Beijing, Zizhuyuan.

When Lama Ilaguk arrived here despite the severe cold and dust with the answers from Ge Erdan and his wife, Zhu Heji was in a large study room warmed by the fireplace with King Zhu Tianhe, Zhuge Sanhe and Kun.

Princess Xing discussed the matter of building an imperial mausoleum for Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen actually already had an imperial mausoleum, which was the original tomb of Concubine Tian. It was Li Zicheng who had Chongzhen and Empress Zhou buried together. After the Qing Dynasty established the tripod in Beijing, they spent a little money to repair it casually and returned it to the tomb.

The name "Si Ling".

However, Zhu Heji and King Zhu Tian could not recognize Siling. They had to call Siling Cangong, which means the place where the emperor's coffin is temporarily parked.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has regained Beijing, the Qing Dynasty has also become the Western Qing Dynasty - not the Northern Qing Dynasty, because Kangxi ran to the west, and Chongzhen was naturally buried in great glory.

Of course, it was not only Chongzhen who needed to be buried with splendor, but also the mourning emperors Zhu Cixiang, Emperor Longwu, Emperor Shaowu, Emperor Yongli, Lu Supervisor Zhu Yihai, etc., all had to be buried with splendor. Even if there were no bones left, they would still be buried with splendor.

A tomb must be built. These five, plus Chongzhen, are six mausoleums.

These are all big projects!

Of course, this big project will cost a lot of money. Although the Ming Dynasty is rich now, money does not come from strong winds, so it must be calculated carefully.

So Zhu Heji came up with a cheaper way...to build all six imperial mausoleums in Nanjing - Nanjing has a large population, abundant labor force, and also has cement factories and large red brick kilns.

Caishiji can also provide enough stones, so the cost of building a mausoleum can be saved a lot.

Moreover, according to Zhu Heji's plan, Nanjing will be the main capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future, with Beijing and Haijing (Guangzhou) as companion capitals. Therefore, the emperor has to live in Nanjing for a long time. It is also convenient to build these six imperial mausoleums in Nanjing.

Sacrifice...

While several people were discussing, Yan Yuan ran in excitedly, bowed to Zhu Heji, King Zhu Tian, ​​and Princess Kunxing, and then reported: "Your Majesty, Lama Ilaguk is here again...

.. He said that Ge Erdan had agreed to our conditions, agreed to be granted the title of King of Shunyi, agreed to the amount of the city reward, and was also preparing to send his nephew Cewang Alabutan to lead 5,000 double-horse cavalry to Japan.

Join the war."

"Okay!" When Zhu Heji heard this, he immediately called. He smiled and said to King Zhu Tian: "Abba, do you see? This is Dedao Duozhu! Now Burni, Chang Ning, and Ge Erdan are all here

Agree to send troops...Burni also sent 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, and Chang Ning sent 20,000 Bahai Tongming Eight Banners, plus Ge Erdan's 5,000, which is an army of 30,000! Listen to North Korea

Talk of a crusade against Japan has already begun, and it's easy to gather an expeditionary force of 50,000 to 60,000 people.

There are already almost 100,000 troops...If Japan does not surrender, it will only be dead!"

Can this be called Dodosuke?

King Zhu Tian and Princess Kunxing are both a little suspicious!

This Chang Ning is a Qingyao, Burni is a Tatar, and Ge Erdan is the descendant of Grand Master Ye Xian who captured Ming Yingzong... His subordinates are also Tatars who commit murder and arson.

How can it be righteous to gather these people together and make it clear that they are going to harm others?

Zhu Heji knew that his father and Princess Kunxing still could not understand what "getting the way" meant, but he had no intention of explaining it. He just smiled and said to Yan Yuan: "Go and invite Lama Ilaguk to come in, and then prepare

Banquet!"

"yes!"

...

Japan, Edo Castle.

This city, the residence of the Tokugawa generals, has been shrouded in the shadow of the Ming Dynasty's imminent invasion for more than two years...Song Shilie and Feng Xifan came across the ocean in a Great Eastern-class warship, and for the first time they gave the original

When the calm Japan brought the storm of "the Ming invaders are coming", it was still the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's supervision of the country. Now it is the beginning of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the ninth year of Yanbao in Japan.

In the past two years or so, Japan's domestic political situation has also undergone great changes. The first is the replacement of generals!

The general who now lives in the magnificent and luxurious Edo Castle is no longer Tokugawa Ietsuna, the "Foolish Lord", but Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the animal protector general known as "Inu Lord".

He is the fourth son of the third shogun Iemitsu and the half-brother of the fourth shogun Ietsuna. He was originally the head of the 250,000-koku Tatebayashi clan. After his stupid brother passed away, he was replaced by the shogunate veteran Hota Masatoshi.

With his support, he was able to join the Tokugawa clan and take over the hot potato of "General Conquering the Barbarians".

The reason why the originally popular "general" became hot is of course because the Ming Dynasty is coming... This matter started to be clamored more than two years ago, and the senior shogunate officials at that time were not too worried.

When Ming invaded, they thought Ming was just bluffing.

After all, Japan is a "divine country" blessed by the divine wind. The Yuan invaders were blown away by the divine wind twice in a row. The Ming Dynasty two years ago cannot be compared with Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty...

...At that time, the land of China was still divided into three pillars!

Therefore, the senior middlemen gave the most resolute response to Zhu Heji's request - the Tokugawa shogunate was not afraid of war!

After the response, because Zhu Heji had returned to his homeland to fight the civil war, the shogunate was relieved - the Japanese had also seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Several shogunate veterans felt that there were only dozens of people in the Ming, Zhou and Qing Dynasties.

There is no way to achieve a three-point unification this year.

So they didn't prepare for war seriously, they just lived a stable life. Then Ietsuna died of illness and the Shogun succession crisis happened - because Ietsuna had no children, the elder Sakai who assisted Ietsuna in power wanted to find a Japanese prince as his successor.

Puppet General. But this didn't happen, otherwise it wouldn't be Tokugawa Tsunayoshi who has a headache now.

This "Dog Gongfang" was so happy that within a few days he got the bad news of Wu Zhou's surrender and the Qing Dynasty's Western Hunt!

The battle of the "Later Three Kingdoms" that was originally thought to last for decades has basically been decided in less than two years!

This time, the "Inu Gongfang" was so anxious that he didn't even have time to love the dog. He spent all day in the Shiro Shoin in Edo Castle with the big boss Hota Masatoshi and the old Naka Tsuchiya Masanao - the same Japanese in Sorya

The unlucky guy who almost starved to death in the hotel is now a middle-aged man. He can be regarded as surviving a catastrophe, so he will be blessed later, right?

However, this old middle-aged man with a good future had a crying look on his face and was reporting to the "Dog Gongfang" on the situation of Ming Dynasty's preparations for war.

"Your Highness, it is reported that the Ming army is concentrating in southern Korea, and the number of troops may have exceeded 100,000!

It is said that the Ming Emperor will arrive soon...the invasion is imminent!"

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi looked again at Hotta, the big boss who supported him to power.

Boss Hotta immediately said: "Don't worry, the envoys from the Netherlands and Spain have made it clear that they will not sit idly by... because Japan's surrender is not in the interest of both countries!"

"But... Mr. Hotta," Inugong asked, "Did the envoys from the Netherlands and Spain say how many reinforcements they can provide?"

"Well..." Hota said, "They didn't say it clearly... but they will definitely help us, that's for sure!

And we have no way to accept the conditions proposed by Ming Dynasty... We can't let His Majesty the Emperor become the minister of Emperor Ming Dynasty, right?"
