Wang Zhizheng made the most tragic choice, knowing that this was to give the political enemy a handle, and Emperor Chongzhen was a master of male guesses, but as a scholar, he knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.

Wang Zhizheng brought the Governor's Mansion to Xifengkou, the purpose of which was to use Xifengkou as the headquarters for the conquest of Mongolia.

He sat in the governor's mansion, poured a full bottle of wine, and took a sip and said to himself: "If you understand the hearts of Wenchen, you may not be able to fight them!"

At this time, Zhang Yan came out of the inner room, saw her husband's demeanor, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "General, if the DPRK and China strongly oppose it, let's not fight Mongolia, okay?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly and said to Zhang Yan: "Come, sit down and talk to me." ”

Zhang Yan sat opposite Tingting and poured wine for Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng took a sip of wine from the wine cup: "Yes, Mongolian wine is still somewhat interesting." ”

Zhang Yan continued: "Now that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are opposed, you really decide to fight against the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "Yes." Such a great opportunity, if it is missed, I am afraid that the empire will never have a chance again. Mongolia will also be conquered by Huang Taiji, and then there will really be no hope. ”

Zhang Yan stared at Wang Zhizheng and said, "However, if the emperor listens to it, you will ......"

Wang Zhizheng said: "If I am demoted to a great task today, I can't do without Hongyi! If I am Zheng Guogong but choose to be a turtle body with a shrunken head in order to protect myself, then what can I do even if I am clothed and fed?"

Zhang Yan knew that Wang Zhizheng couldn't pull back a few cows, so she nodded and said: "The concubine supports you, no matter how you choose, I am willing to do it with you!"

Wang Zhizheng was moved to hold Zhang Yan's hand and said: "I remember that year, the first emperor was dying, and gave you a bottle of poison, saying that my ability is too strong, sooner or later the emperor will not be able to control it, in order to put an end to future troubles, let you and the emperor kill me! Now six years have passed, I have done a lot of things, and the emperor has always trusted me, which makes me very grateful, I made this choice, not only for the emperor, but most importantly for the community, if Mongolia falls into Jianzhou, with Huang Taiji, the barbaric and ferocious overlord of Dolgon, the people of the Central Plains, will be slaughtered and brought by the energy! ”

Zhang Yan asked with red eyes, "You still hold a grudge against the first emperor?"

Wang Zhizheng didn't answer Zhang Yan, threw it on the table with a wine cup and said: "The emperor represents hundreds of millions of civilians, if he can conquer Mongolia and subdue Lin Dan Khan this time, he will be able to obey and be obedient to me, if it is like what the cabinet said, to appease, hehe, an ambitious Khan king like Lin Dan will be subdued by Huang Taiji and form an alliance with Huang Taiji!"

Wang Zhizheng said this, pointed to Xifengkou and said: "Now Wu Sangui and Lu Xiangsheng have destroyed Karaqin, Lin Dan Khan has not sent an envoy yet, tomorrow, I will mobilize Huang Zongxi and Cao Bianjiao to continue to fight north along Karaqin, he Lin Dan Khan does not come for a day, I will fight for a day, hehe, he will not come for half a month, I must slaughter him!"

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "General, the concubine will go with you, no matter what happens later, I won't regret it!"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and held Zhang Yan's cold hand and said: "Don't worry, I am not alone, I have parents, a wife and children, I am sure in my heart, although I am against the holy will to fight Lin Dan, but this time, it will not be that the emperor will really think that as Wen Tiren said, I am raising soldiers with war, supporting the army and respecting myself, trying in vain to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the military power in my hands, and then talk about the conditions like Hou Jin! After all, our father is his own uncle, our grandmother, and his own grandmother. And you. Although he is a male guess, he is not very vicious towards his relatives, so I am not worried. ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "With your words, I know in my heart, if there is really any accident, I will go to the palace to plead with the emperor in person." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly and nodded.

At this time, Liangyi said respectfully outside the door: "Father, my son has something to report." ”

Wang Zhizheng said: "Come in!"

I saw Liangyi walk in, Liangyi is sixteen years old this year, has been married, married Qian Qianyi's young daughter, and is about to become a father, Wang Zhizheng saw that this righteous son grew up, so he asked his teacher Huang Zongxi to take him to fight in the army, and now he has participated in two battles, because of the inheritance of his father's bravery, and I am deeply repented by Wang Zhizheng and Huang Zongxi, so at a young age, he showed extraordinary intelligence. Wang Zhizheng is very satisfied with this righteous son.

Seeing his tall and sturdy son, Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly: "Sit down and talk!"

Liangyi respectfully saluted Zhang Yan and said, "My son visits his aunt." ”

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Liangyi, your father and son are down to business, I'll go to the back to see the good choice." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Go." ”

Then he looked up at Liangyi and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liangyi said: "Back to my father, according to the information from our intelligence officers in Houjin, Huang Taiji sent Dolgon and Zilharang to lead troops to start the expedition against Lin Dan Khan. ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Lin Dan is having a hard time now, his belly and back are under the enemy, plus his tribes are scattered, although I am the Great Khan of Mongolia, but all Mongolian tribes have their own abacus, now Horqin is attached to Jianzhou, Karaqin is conquered by us, his scope of activities is getting smaller and smaller, I think, Lin Dan's envoy, should have begun to prepare to dispatch, right!?"

Liangyi smiled slightly and said: "Father is really a clever plan, Lin Dan's envoy, now he plans to send an envoy to Jianzhou, Lin Dan should now be on both sides of the investigation, considering who to belong to is more hopeful." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Don't worry about him, even if his envoy comes to my big tent to negotiate peace, as long as I don't claim to be a minister for a day, I won't stop for a day." How long can the grain and grass in the army last?"

Liangyi said smoothly: "There is not much left, but today General Wu Sangui suddenly attacked the camp of the Zalut Department under Lin Dan Khan, captured more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians, and plundered more than 1 million taels of silver and jewelry in one go!"

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "This Wu Sangui is really a capable general, he can defeat the camp of the Chinese army in Zalut, he beats 60,000 cavalry with 10,000 people, this Guanning iron cavalry is really worthy of its reputation!"

Liangyi said with admiration: "General Wu Sangui is only five or six years older than me, and he has such a great achievement, compared to his son, his son pales in comparison!"

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "You are only sixteen years old, six years ago, when Wu Sangui was sixteen years old, he was only a bodyguard under Inspector Yuan of Shanhaiguan!

Liangyi knelt down and said, "Father, I heard that the emperor is not planning to stop your actions?"

Wang Zhizheng's face suddenly became frosty: "Who told you." ”

Liangyi saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't be angry, it was Chen Zilong who told me, but he explained to me, and he must not leak this news!"

Wang Zhizheng said in a deep voice: "Chen Zilong told you that it has gone against my will, fighting a war, the focus is on morale, this is what my father often teaches you, you remember for me, as for whether the emperor supports it, whether the government and the opposition support it, that is a matter that needs to be considered for the father, you must not leak the slightest bit of news, if the matter is spread by word of mouth in the army, the army's heart is in chaos, we will not stand up and collapse!"
