At that time, there were twelve clan titles in the Qing court, Prince Heshuo, King Dorajun, Dorobele, Gushan Beizi, Feng'en Zhenguogong, Feng'en Fuguo Gong, Bu Bafen Zhenguo Gong, Bu Bafen Fuguo Gong, Zhenguo General, Auxiliary Guo General, Fengguo General, Feng'en General.

Feng'en Zhen Guogong is only ranked ahead of Feng'en Fuguo Gong, which can be scored eight points.

And this Manchu military minister is the grandson of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, the fourth son of Rao Yumin King Abatai, Yue Le, that is, Fulin's cousin.

Yue Le was stopped by Hong Chengchou, although he was indignant in his heart, he didn't dare to rush into Fu Lin in front of the palace, so he snorted, pointed at Qian Qiaogong and said, "I wrote you down." ”

But Qian Qiaogong ignored him, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

almost made Yue Le break out again.

Hong Chengchou took a step to the left, his whole back was blocked in front of Yue Le, and he asked Qian Qiaogong head-on: "What is the reason for you to say that the Yixing Dynasty is more than seventy percent sure of blocking the full force of our army?" ”

Qian Qiaogong replied calmly: "People." ”

"What do you mean?"

"There are tens of millions of Han people in Jiangnan."

When Yue Le heard this, he interjected again and roared: "It's just tens of thousands of ants." When our army entered the customs, only more than 100,000 troops attacked the capital without much effort. When the Hongguang Dynasty was defeated, millions of Ming troops dispersed in a hurry. ”

Qian Qiaogong ignored him this time, and nodded and said, "This general is right." But all those who lead the troops understand the truth that the defeat of the army is like a mountain, and once the morale and morale of the army are lost, no matter how many people are useless. But now it is different, the Ming army has gained a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and even went north to recover the land of the Ten Prefectures, and even the Ying Tianfu has been recovered, which makes the Jiangnan Han people revitalize the military spirit and morale, and the country with military spirit and morale cannot be easily defeated, yes, the Yixing Dynasty has tens of millions of Han people, and there is at least a chance of more than seventy percent of being undefeated. ”

Although Yue Le was angry, he was not confused, he was just arrogant.

Hong Chengchou nodded slowly, he found that Qian Qiaogong, who had been silent, actually had some insight.

Hong Chengchou didn't ask Qian Qiaogong again, but returned to Shen Zhiyuan, "I heard that when I heard about the Qingtai Dynasty, I told the world that Wu Zheng is a descendant of Ming Huizong, and you grew up with Wu Zheng, is this true or false?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "It's true that I grew up with Wu Zheng, but I can't verify what happened two hundred years ago, and in the more than ten years I have lived with Wu Zheng, I really can't see that he will be a descendant of Huizong. ”

Hong Chengchou no longer asked, but changed his direction and asked: "Before the war, Wu Zheng only had three prefectures under his jurisdiction, and this official also heard that the food and salary of the 40,000 army under his command was twice as high as that of the Ming army of the Yixing Dynasty. The officer wondered how he managed to afford this huge military expenditure? ”

Shen Zhiyuan didn't answer immediately, but smiled slightly.

Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "Why are you laughing? Answer the official's questions head-on! ”

Shen Zhiyuan replied: "Actually, this is not difficult to solve. During the four years of Wu Zheng, he recovered the land of the ten prefectures, and confiscated the money of the local government offices, unscrupulous tycoons and Qing merchants, no less than 10 million. But not a tael went into his own pocket, and if every official of the court could do the same, there would be no more problem of not being able to raise soldiers. ”

These words made everyone more or less blush and embarrassed, no one paid attention to Shen Zhiyuan, and no one refuted, because rebuttal was tantamount to self-deprecation, they just twisted their heads slightly in the opposite direction.

Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, he understood that Shen Zhiyuan was right.

This is a very simple truth, who doesn't understand?

It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to do it.

Hong Chengchou took a breath slowly, cleaned up the trivial things in his heart, and asked the last question, which was also the purpose of his proposal to summon Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong today.

He looked at Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong, "In your opinion, at this time, should I fight a decisive battle with Yixing Dynasty?" ”

This question was asked, so that all eyes converged on Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong.

Yue Le was even more nervous, and his palms even sweated.

He couldn't help but be nervous, and it was about the future of his life in his twenties.

Yue Le had just returned to the dynasty with Haoge's class.

Last year, he followed Prince Su and Jingyuan General Haoge to Sichuan, fought fiercely until December, destroyed the Daxi regime, shot Zhang Xianzhong at Phoenix Mountain, and was then recalled by Dolgon, and returned to the capital in February.

It was supposed to be a great return to the dynasty, but Hauge and Dolgon had a deep feud, and in March, Hauge was framed by Dolgon, and then imprisoned, and died in prison in only one month.

And Yue Le followed Hauge to fight in the south and the north, and his father Abatai had a close relationship with Prince Zheng Zilharang, so he was naturally implicated, if it wasn't for Dolgon leading the army south this time, I am afraid that Yue Le might have been deposed at this time, or even imprisoned.

Yue Le knew that he could not win the trust of Dolgon, so he pledged his allegiance to Fulin.

But the problem is that Fulin is too busy to take care of himself under the strength of Dolgon, so Yue Le can only look for an opportunity to lead his troops out of Beijing, firstly, to avoid the coming difficulties of Dolgon, and secondly, to establish some military merits to protect himself.

Yesterday, he heard that the imperial court was hesitant to fight a decisive battle with the Yixing Dynasty, and Yue Le was bent on facilitating it.

Now that Hong Chengchou asked about this, how could Yue Le not be nervous?

But the problem is that neither Shen Zhiyuan nor Qian Qiaogong guessed that the Qing court would actually ask their opinions on such a major event as a decisive battle with the Yixing Dynasty, which the two had not discussed in advance.

So the two of them said two diametrically opposed answers in unison in full view.

"It shouldn't."

"Yes."

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Shen Zhiyuan's forehead began to sweat faintly, which could make this stunned head break out in a cold sweat, this matter is indeed troublesome.

But Qian Qiaogong didn't have any expression except for a flash of surprise in his eyes, let alone panic.

Hong Chengchou glanced back at Fu Lin, Fu Lin still looked blank, seeing that the emperor had no intention of stopping, Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Should it be, or shouldn't it?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan was just about to speak, but was stopped by Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou pointed at Qian Qiaogong and said, "You say it first." ”

Qian Qiaogong said, "No." ”

"Why not?"

"As I said before, at this time, Prince Yu was killed, the morale of the Ming army was high, the imperial army was pinned down in the northwest and southeast, and the rebellion of the Mongolian tribes in the north failed to be quelled.

"Nonsense!" Yue Le couldn't help but shout loudly, he turned to Fu Lin and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 20,000 people to the south. ”

Fu Lin opened his mouth and said: "Zhenguo Gong, listen to Hong Qing's family and finish asking. ”

Yue Le had no choice but to retreat again.

Hong Chengchou was noncommittal to Qian Qiaogong's answer, he turned to Shen Zhiyuan and said, "You can say it now." ”
