Chapter 522: Wang Zhizheng is building the northern line

Wang Zhi was resting in Chahanhot for half a month, and finally recovered from his serious injuries, with more than a dozen knife wounds on his back and chest.

Zhang Yan sits at the head of the bed every day to serve Wang Zhizheng, and after half a month, Wang Zhizheng can get out of bed, and his strength has basically recovered.

Zhang Yan said softly to Wang Zhizheng: "Master, you are also out of the way in this war, now that Mongolia is stable, can we go back to Beijing?"

Wang Zhizheng shook his head: "I can't go back to Beijing!"

Zhang Yan asked strangely, "Why?"

Wang Zhizheng said: "Huang Taiji would like me to go back to Beijing, if I go back to Beijing, he will immediately return to the Chahar mercenaries again after resting! Fighting Chahar is a must for Huang Taiji, and if he does not fight Chahar, it will be impossible for him to enter the customs through Shanhaiguan! Only by defeating Chahar can he break through the Guanningjin defense line!"

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said, "If you don't go back to Beijing, wouldn't those people in the court who want to harm you have a better chance?"

Wang Zhizheng stared at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yan, you think I can't fight Wen Tiren." Do they have more means than Wei Zhongxian? I just don't want to fight with them, in the court of the Ming Dynasty, there will always be all kinds of infighting, all kinds of fighting, I hate fighting the most, but in the Jingshi, I will unconsciously fall into a passive battle, I hate fighting, in the side plug, although the sword and sword, at least happy, there is a battle I will fight happily, nothing I will enjoy with you the desert lonely smoke, the long river and the sunset! This kind of life, officially what I want, is simple, isn't it good?"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng's words fell, Zhang Yan snorted and laughed coldly: "Master, why don't I want to?" In Jingshi, you have so many wives and concubines, in Saibei, you belong to me alone!" Saying that, that moving demeanor made Wang Zhizheng couldn't help but be a little fascinated. Although she has been married for five years, she is still like her first love, which fascinates Wang Zhizheng.

Zhang Yan saw Wang Zhizheng's loving eyes, and only felt an indescribable sense of happiness, but looking at Wang Zhizheng's scarred body, she couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Master, you fought for the Ming Dynasty, scarred, I, sometimes I really don't think it's worth it for you!"

Wang Zhizheng sighed and said: "Zhang Yan, do you think I am really fighting for the emperor? Wrong, I have seen too many military disasters, I don't want the world to go on like this, I want to let the world return to peace in my lifetime! The general likes to fight, can make meritorious contributions, and can go down in history, but when it comes to rise and fall, the most bitter people are tens of millions of ordinary people! Hong Chengchou wrote to me that when he rode a horse in northern Shaanxi and ran from Mizhi to Chang'an, he saw less than 10 families, and after entering, he saw that his family was burying the corpses of those who had just starved to death, and that the rooms were empty! As soon as the chaotic army and bandit army passed, the people who were dying of starvation would be slaughtered again...... If you don't finish the battle, when will such a miserable dream come to an end?!"

Zhang Yan held Wang Zhizheng's hand and said, "Master, you can do it, I believe in you!"

Wang Zhizheng pointed to the sixteen-year-old Liangyi and eight-year-old son Liangzhi at the door and said: "Don't be afraid, if I fail to end the war in my lifetime, what about them! I hope that one day sooner it ends, there will be a small number of deaths!"

Zhang Yan suddenly became interested, dragged Wang Zhizheng and said: "Master, I have seen enough of the beacon smoke in the north, but I haven't seen the scenery of the grassland, can you take me to see the scenery?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled, put his arm around Zhang Yan's shoulder and said, "Okay, wow, let's go, I'll take you around the steppe on a horse and see the beautiful scenery of Mongolia!"

Wang Zhizheng took Zhang Yan's hand and just walked to the door, Liangyi hurriedly asked, "Father, aunt, where are you going?"

Wang Zhizheng laughed: "Go and take your aunt to see the scenery!"

Wang Liangyi said: "That son is here to escort!"

Wang Zhizheng patted Liangyi on the shoulder and said, "No need, what am I afraid of in Chahar? The people of Chahar call me Jun Ding Khan, which means the king who brings peace! Hehe, you are not at ease with their protection?"

At this time, I suddenly heard someone outside: "Grandpa, the Great Khan is here!"

Wang Zhizheng turned to look at Zhang Yan and said, "I can't go, Lin Dan is here, you wait for me in the room, I'll take a look!"

Zhang Yan smiled slightly: "Master, you are busy, we can watch the sunset over the long river at any time!"

At this time, I saw Lin Dan walking in in Hanfu, and saw Wang Zhizheng hurriedly learning Han etiquette and bowed down and said, "Grandpa, how are your injuries?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled and hammered it against Lin Dan's chest! Lin Dan hurriedly dodged, and then wanted to lock Wang Zhizheng's throat, Wang Zhizheng flashed, grabbed Lin Dan's wrist, and threw Lin Dan to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall.

Lin Dan got up from the ground and laughed: "Sure enough, the recovery is very good, I can't beat you!"

Wang Zhizheng said confidently: "Except for the Ao Bai I met on the battlefield that day, I have really never met an opponent in my life!"

Lin Dan waved his hand: "That Ao Bai is a reckless man, how can he compare with his grandfather! I brought a few jars of good wine, and I will drink with my grandfather today!"

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly and said with his hands behind his back: "Wow, I haven't drunk for many days, so we brothers have a few drinks." ”

At the banquet, Lin Dan turned to Prime Minister Boyan, General Zhang Song, and dozens of generals including his son Ezhe and said: "Today, Wang Dudu's injury has improved, I can finally take the generals under my account to pay a good tribute to Dudu, if there is no Dudu Governor's righteous action, today Lin Dan may be taking Chahar to chase water and grass, today I will take Chahar's civil and military forces to thank Grandpa!"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "Great Khan, you have thanked the wrong person! This time the army is the will of the imperial court, you should thank the emperor first! You are a vassal to the emperor, how can the emperor ignore the Mongolian people?"

Lin Dan turned around and drank some wine, and then said to the civil and military officials: "Everyone follow me, face south, kneel three times and bow nine times, thank my emperor for saving him!"

Then he took the civil and military officials to kneel and bow to the southern rules.

Bai Jingting, the clerk next to Wang Zhizheng, was a close confidant of Emperor Chongzhen, and Wang Zhizheng deliberately showed him so that he could hand over a scene to the emperor.

Bai Jingting looked at Wang Zhizheng with appreciation, and thought: He is also a minister, why can Lord Wang do so perfectly.

Wang Zhizheng waited for Lin Dan to finish thanking him, raised the wine cup and said: "Now Mongolia, Jianzhou, and my Ming are all in a difficult banner, the Ming Dynasty is full of famine, Mongolia is still in war, Jianzhou starves to death more than 60,000 people a year, and tens of thousands of internal strife have died, and now the situation is in the most difficult situation, I and others as ministers, we should work together for the emperor to solve problems!"
