When Qian Qianyi saw Wu Zheng, he knelt in front of Wu Zheng, tears flowed down his face, and his first sentence was, "The criminal minister really understood at this time...... If you know today, why bother in the first place! ”

Wu Zheng silently looked at the poor and hateful old man in front of him.

This old immortal pit the former dynasty (Hongguang Dynasty), and then pit the Yixing Dynasty, his secret defection to the enemy, killed countless soldiers and civilians in Yingtianfu, and the household department he controlled directly led to the second Yingtianfu people's rebellion, which then led to a coup d'état.

And he himself, in fact, did not get any benefits, although he has now become the Han Shangshu of the Qing Court's Ministry of Etiquette, but everyone understands that the power of this Han Shangshu and the Manchu Shangshu must not be the same. But the price Qian Qianyi paid was that his wife and daughter are still missing, and I am afraid that nine times out of ten they are no longer alive.

The mottled tear stains on Qian Qianyi's old face are actually a microcosm of this era and scholars.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the politics were dim, and the scholars sought change, which was understandable, but their selfishness was too heavy, and they would do whatever it took to achieve their goals, and they could even sell their ancestors for glory, which had to be said to be the sorrow of Confucianism.

But now, Qian Qianyi wants to come back again, and he wants to make meritorious contributions.

This made Wu Zheng very embarrassed, accept it, and his heart was as disgusting and uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Don't accept it, there are too many people like Qian Qianyi or people with such experiences in the north.

Not giving them a way to live and forcing them to the opposite side would be tantamount to aggravating the casualties of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Wu Zheng cleaned up the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and calmly raised his hand, "Get up...... Sit down and talk. ”

Qian Qianyi wiped away his old tears and got up casually, but after all, he was old, and he couldn't get up several times in a row, until Wu Zheng signaled to his close attendants to help, and then he got up? Slowly sat down on the back of the chair.

"Your Highness? Uncle Wang he...... Zilharang: He changed his mind. "Once it comes to political affairs, Qian Qianyi seems to be a different person? There is no more vicissitudes and desolation on the face? There was a kind of exhilarating, strange excitement.

Wu Zheng looked at Qian Qianyi's ravine-covered old face, and felt a wave of nausea in his heart? This is a typical politician, who has no position and is a mother if he has a milk.

But Qian Qianyi didn't know what Wu Zheng was thinking? He still said excitedly: "Your Highness put Bolo back...... Is it really a good move? As soon as Bolo was forced to do so, Zilharang had to compromise. ”

"Oh, what a compromise?"

"Back to Your Highness, Zilharang ordered me to tell Your Highness? Willing to broker a truce? And with the Yellow River as the boundary, a peace treaty was signed with the Jianxing Dynasty. ”

Wu Zheng slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip casually, he was thinking.

Before, he really took the Yellow River as the boundary? As the highest goal of changing this war, in fact, when this war is launched? Wu Zheng just wanted to recover the three prefectures of Anqing, Luzhou, and Fengyang.

If Zilharang could have complied at that time, and the two sides reached an agreement? Wu Zheng should be unwanted.

But now it's different, countless people have died in this war? The entire subjects of the Jianxing Dynasty have been mobilized? Like an arrow on the bow? It's hard to stop.

Wu Zheng needs to weigh whether to exchange human lives for land and carry out the war to the end at all costs, or whether to accept it when it is good and get what is in front of him.

Wu Zheng tended to prefer the latter, because only he knew how difficult this battle was.

In Wu Zheng's silence, Qian Qianyi thought that Wu Zheng had no intention of secretly making a deal with Jierharang in view of the fact that the Northern Expeditionary Army was now occupying the initiative on the battlefield.

He hurriedly said, "Your Highness...... Now although the army under the command of His Royal Highness has probed into Qingzhou, this does not mean that it can be defended, and even if it can be defended, it will have to pay a huge price...... The Qing court has expanded its army by 100,000 again, and now all the provinces of Gyeonggi and other places outside the customs are conscripting soldiers, and the age has even been reduced to 12 years old...... Moreover, Zierharang also controls the Dagu saliva division, although it cannot compete with the water division in the hands of His Royal Highness, but it is only used for transporting reinforcements, and it is still competent...... Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, this battle will be a lose-lose situation in the end, and I hope Your Highness will think twice. ”

Wu Zheng was noncommittal, but asked, "What do you want from Zilharang?" ”

Qian Qianyi replied: "Zilharang needs His Highness to leave Azig and Dolbo behind, but most of the troops under his command must be returned. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "He must have lost his mind...... Either we don't go to war, and once we start a war, how can we be good, and if our army wins a big victory, we want to return the defeated soldiers...... Thinking too much, right? You go back and tell him that you want to return the defeated soldiers and redeem them with silver! ”

Qian Qianyi hurriedly explained: "Your Highness has misunderstood...... What Zilharang meant was that he was responsible for cutting off the supply of Fengyang Mansion and forcing the morale of the Azig tribe to collapse...... In this way, His Highness can easily occupy Fengyang. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, sure enough, politicians are not people!

The most important part of the Azig army came from the original Xuzhou garrison, and the main component of the Xuzhou garrison was the old department of Zuo Mengeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, the former Marquis of Nanhou of Ming Ning, when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Most of their supplies originally came from the Qing court, and when they were in Xuzhou, they were fine, and some could be raised locally, but now that Xuzhou is in the hands of Dolbo, how can they supply Azig?

Therefore, the supply of the army under Azig came completely from the Qing court, and if this was broken, I am afraid that it would really not last for a few days.

Wu Zheng asked, "What about the Yanzhou Dolbo Department?" ”

Qian Qianyi smiled secretly, "Mutiny!" ”

"Mutiny?"

"Your Highness should understand that Dolbo is just a child, it is difficult to convince the public, and countless civil and military forces in Yanzhou have secretly communicated with the imperial court, and Zierharang has their letters of allegiance as a basis...... Originally, with Shen Zhiyuan and his new army as a deterrent, Dolbo could still control the situation, but now, Shen Zhiyuan abandoned the dark and turned to the light, so he naturally ...... Hey...... Hey. ”

Wu Zheng understood, and Shen Zhiyuan inadvertently did Jierharang a great favor.

"Can Zilharang really control the situation in Yanzhou?"

Qian Qianyi sneered and said: "Tell Your Highness that in fact, the other two auxiliary ministers under Dolbo, Ganglin and Qi Chongge, are already from Zierharang...... The idea of forcing Shen Zhiyuan to rebel was actually an edict from Ji'er Harang to Ganglin and Qi Chongge. ”

Wu Zheng's heart jumped, so it seemed that Ji'er Harang's hand had indeed reached into Yanzhou, and although Qing Yin's death was accidental, it was actually inevitable.

Qian Qianyi continued: "Ji'er Harang's original intention was to leave Shen Zhiyuan's 30,000 new army...... But when he came, he told me that since the 20,000 people had followed Shen Zhiyuan to join His Highness, it should be regarded as a great gift to His Highness, but the rest of the army in Yanzhou must be returned in full, including all weapons and horses. ”
