Chapter 58: A Brilliant Plan
"This is not something that is said casually, if you say it wrong, presumably this is the capital crime of killing the head, doesn't Chen Aiqing know?"
Chen Gong's words also spoke to Emperor Chongzhen's heart, but as a generation of kings, where would he show this matter, and then, he was sitting in a precarious position, with a pair of eyes, staring at Chen Gong who was looking down, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
"Your Majesty, the truth of what the minister said is not false, although the Nanjing regime is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, they have established themselves as their masters, as long as the Ming Jingshi side falls, they will definitely be able to become a family of their own!"
"Why?"
"Because Zhu Yousong, the heir of Prince Fu, has arrived in Nanjing in a few days, he and His Majesty have the same status, if Your Majesty is in trouble, presumably that group of people will only push Zhu Yousong to succeed to the throne, instead of coming to help relieve the siege."
Chen Gong was actually a little afraid when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's positive color, but as a word, a strategist, what he could do was obviously not afraid of life and death, and continue to speak out!
And when he finished saying what he said in his heart, this Emperor Chongzhen sat in his place, and he also laughed, I have to say that he felt that what Chen Gong said was extremely reasonable.
In fact, he also knew this thing in his heart, in March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, after the city of Kyoto was broken and the Ming regime was overthrown, the Nanjing regime directly pushed Zhu Yousong to succeed him and established the Nanming Dynasty.
It can be said that in this period of history, if the Ming Dynasty is loyal, it is obviously not right, although Emperor Chongzhen said that he was ambitious, but in fact he was afraid to do things, and people were also extremely contradictory.
It can be said that the tragedy of destroying the country back then, and now it plays a fundamental role, that is, Emperor Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong, and Yuan Chonghuan, a group of guys who shine in the long river of history, actually have their own inevitability.
"Well said, well said, indeed, in this year, who can maintain eternal loyalty to me, this civil and military officials, must really come to a moment of crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is their own net worth!"
Emperor Chongzhen dispelled, and then, he also helped Chen Gong who was kneeling on the ground to stand up, these 400,000 points, according to the comparison seen now, there must be no problem in terms of cost performance.
"However, Chen Aiqing, although you have an extremely delicate grasp of the current situation, I actually have some questions for you."
Emperor Chongzhen obviously still has a lot of questions in his heart, here, not only the so-called situation, but also the future policy, so he paused, and continued to talk so much.
"According to Chen Aiqing's theory of three enemies, which one do you think I should focus on?"
"Your Majesty, I think it should be the Dashun regime, they are the most serious threat to Your Majesty, and they have also cut off the information exchange between the north and the south, although we have won a great victory in the previous war, but in fact, it has not shaken the fundamental of the Dashun regime."
"That's true, although this Li Zicheng is dead, but, according to the current way of the world, there will be Liu Zicheng and Ma Zicheng, in the Xi'an Dashun regime, Niu Jinxing obviously still has hundreds of thousands of defenders, and it must be guarded against!"
Emperor Chongzhen knew that the future of the Ming Dynasty was still in a slim state, after all, the Dashun regime occupied all the capitals below the Jingshi here, and even, even Tianjinwei, the gateway to the Jingshi, was completely occupied.
Therefore, if you want to open up the connection between the north and the south, the first thing to be eliminated is the Dashun regime at this bottom!
"Yes, Your Majesty, and, according to what the minister thought, now that Li Zicheng is dead, it must be a few days before the army of King Chuang will also introduce some strategies, and Niu Jinxing and others will presumably also succeed to become the new rulers of the Dashun regime."
"What do you think of the future?"
"The minister thinks that since the Dashun regime is in turmoil now, then we should go directly south, strike while the iron is hot, approach the Dashun portal, and recover the lost territory of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's true, it's just that if you rashly use troops, I'm afraid that the strength I have in my hands now is not enough to make King Chuang's army jealous."
Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't feel that Li Zicheng's remaining army was weak in his heart, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how you say it, it was a huge pressure, so for Chen Gong to say this thing, in fact, Chongzhen still has some concerns.
In addition, the number of points in the human interface is no longer enough, and if it is captured for a long time, presumably, the army problem here will also become a big problem.
At the bottom, Chen Gong also discovered Emperor Chongzhen's concerns, and then hurriedly said it again.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the army?"
"Do you know what I think?"
"I know a little bit about it, after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Xi'an by the Dashun Army, and according to the current strength in Kyoto, it can probably only draw nearly 80,000 troops.
"What Chen Aiqing said, I think it's a bit sarcastic."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed, obviously, he was not angry at Chen Gong's words, after all, he felt that since Chen Gong could say this, there must be an end for him, or a follow-up.
"Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth, but Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, because Weichen recently looked at the recent weather and felt that Your Majesty should have a good time to pull the battle line to the vicinity of Shijiazhuang in one fell swoop."
"What Aiqing said is true?"
"Yes, Wechen never lies, if you lie, you can ask Wechen to sacrifice his head."
"Aha, okay, then you might as well talk about it!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Chen Gong said, he was also interested, and then, he looked at Chen Gong with his eyes, and he also hoped that he would make up for the words in the future.
"Your Majesty, the recent season is approaching early summer, this northern generation, there will be continuous rainfall, and in recent years, Your Majesty, you also know that this weather is very plagued, this is not as good as the early summer season, there are often floods near Beijing."
"I do know that, but what's the use of this flood?"
Emperor Chongzhen didn't think of the meaning of Chen Gong's words, and then, he was stunned for a moment.
"Ahaha, has Your Majesty forgotten that we are upstream?"
"Upstream?"
When Chongzhen heard this geographical location, he also thought of the flooding of the Seventh Army for a while, and then, he also stood up suddenly, and then looked at Chen Gonglai with a pair of eyes.
"Didn't you say you were going to flood Tianjin Wei?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
"You're really resourceful!"
