In the traditional Confucian culture, Chen Shixuan, as a representative of the Shandong gentry, expelled Li Wei from Shandong and chose to belong to Ning Chu, which did not have much to blame, because he took care of the township and protected the people from the impact of war.

It can be said that except for the Qing court itself, other people will not think that Chen Shiwan has a problem at all. But the problem is that Chen Shiwan himself will blame himself in his heart, and in his opinion, this is also an act of disloyalty to his ministers.

Therefore, Chen Shiwan has another way to solve this matter.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister Shiwan originally didn't know the power of heaven, and he didn't choose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light early, until His Majesty personally led the army to Lu, which was originally a sin, and naturally there was no merit at all. It's just that the Shandong gentry are not guilty, and I hope that His Majesty can give more rain and dew. ”

Chen Shiwan's face was indifferent, and he was even more relaxed after saying this, it can be seen that he has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and this is the only way he feels that he can fulfill his courtesy.

I am willing to surrender, because as a parent official in Shandong, I need to be responsible for my own people, but I chose to resign, because I am sorry for my ministers, and I have no shame to continue to be an official.

It can be said that Chen Shiwan's current behavior seems to be contradictory on the surface, but in fact it does not deviate from his principles of life, and it is also a classic embodiment of Confucian scholars and doctors when making interest choices.

At that moment, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and the other Shandong officials knelt on the ground with their bodies bowed deeply, they didn't know Ning Yu, for fear that they would anger the emperor because of this incident, so they had to kneel and pull Chen Shiwan's sleeve at the same time, hoping that he would not anger the emperor again.

As for the Ning Chu officials on the side, they were naturally very dissatisfied, but in front of the emperor, they didn't dare to express anything, so they could only stare at Chen Shiwan on the ground viciously with their eyes, and just wait for the emperor to give an order, and then they will break the corpse into thousands of pieces.

Ning Yu's face was slightly cold, it was naturally impossible for him not to see Chen Shiqi's approach, but this was a little too disrespectful for him, the emperor, if you want to surrender, surrender, if you want to resign, you can resign, where do you put me, the emperor?

"Chen Qing's move is beyond my expectations, although Qing has meritorious service to the people of Shandong, but it is not enough, how can he leave now? If so, how does Chen Qing face Shandong's fathers? ”

Hearing Ning Yu's answer, Chen Shiwan was a little dumbfounded, he originally thought that Ning Yu would choose to lure high-ranking officials with generous benefits, or he would choose to coerce harshly, but what he never expected was that Ning Yu turned around and asked him, have you done enough to the people of Shandong?

I have to say that this sentence really aroused the arrogance in Chen Shiwan's heart, although he felt that he had lost the etiquette of being a minister in the surrender of Ning Chu, but for the people of Shandong, he thought that he had never been a little bit of a loss, but it was not in his nature to show merit to Ning Yu, so he was silent immediately.

Ning Yu saw that Chen Shiwan was silent, so he simply said what he thought in his heart, "I know that you Chen Shiwan is a good official, although you have only been in Shandong for a year, but you have done a lot of practical things, last year's locust plague in Shandong was supposed to starve thousands of people to death, but with your efforts, it was finally passed smoothly." But because of this, you shouldn't leave. ”

"It's rare that Your Majesty still knows a little bit of what the criminal minister did, but the criminal minister thinks that there will naturally be other good officials in Shandong in the future......." Chen Shiwan was more or less moved in his heart, no matter what, all this he did was seen by the world.

Ning Yu sighed slightly, this person is indeed good, but he is contaminated with the bad habits of many Confucian scholars, and often dresses himself up as a morally perfect person.

If you want to maintain the perfection of your own image, you can only stand on the shore all day long and find fault with those who are still willing to stand in the water and do things.

"Chen Shiwan, what are you thinking, I know in my heart that I will give you the opportunity to make a name for yourself in the future......."

Ning Yu's tone was slightly lower, "However, although the whole territory of Shandong has been recovered now, after all, after all, after the war, the lives of the people in many places have been completely disrupted, and there are even many people who have been displaced. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shiwan also hesitated a little, he let out a long sigh, and finally said in a low voice: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister is stupid." ”

Ning Yu laughed, and then stepped forward to help Chen Shiwan, and took his arm and walked towards Licheng, this performance naturally made Chen Shiwan very excited, and the other Shandong officials also breathed a sigh of relief, but the mood that was still a little worried was completely settled.

Cui Wancai, the second assistant who followed behind, saw this scene, and couldn't help but smile slightly, the emperor's ability to win people's hearts is getting more and more profound, and even has a feeling of spring breeze and rain, which makes people not feel the slightest deliberateness, and after such a while, the situation in Shandong should soon stabilize.

As for Chen Shijuan, in fact, nothing else matters, let him continue to serve as the political envoy of Shandong, it is also necessary to continue to stabilize the hearts of the Shandong gentry, so that the Shandong gentry can effectively cooperate with the implementation of the new policy.

After everyone came to the yamen of the governor of Shandong, Ning Yu was naturally the first emperor as the emperor, and the other ministers were sorted according to their ranks, but the chief officials of the Shandong Divisions, as special figures this time, also occupied a seat and began to have a banquet.

In the Chinese cultural circle, the banquet is always an important way to exchange feelings, and after a while, the officials of Ningchu communicated with the officials of the Shandong Division, and under the intention of both sides, the atmosphere naturally appeared solemn and warm, and showed a bit of harmony.

Ning Yu naturally pulled the protagonist Chen Shijuan this time, and has been communicating about civil affairs issues in Shandong, but after communicating for a while, he remembered an extremely interesting question, and immediately asked: "Chen Qing's son, what is his name?" ”

Chen Shiwan felt a little strange in his heart, and didn't understand why the emperor asked this, but he did have a son, so he replied honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has two sons, one of whom is allowed and the other is named Qili." ”

When Ning Yu heard this, he realized that the 'Chen Jialuo' he saw in his previous life was nothing more than a fabrication, just pretending to be the name of the Chen family in Haining, and there was no one else, but he smiled dumbly at the moment, shook his head and said: "Since this is the case, then I will rest assured." ”

Chen Shiwan didn't understand what Ning Yu meant, and he didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, so he had to remain silent.

.........

Three days later, Ning Yu convened the Privy Council and even the dignitaries of the First Army, the Second Army, and the Central Army to start a new operational meeting, with the aim of completing the general attack on Zhili.

Before this meeting, Ning Yu was actually very puzzled in his heart, the Qing army had been staying in Zhili for a long time, sitting back and watching Shandong and Henan lose, which was a bit abnormal in itself, after all, everyone knew that when Shandong and Henan were completely captured, Zhili was basically in a state of no danger to defend.

Of course, although Ning Yu didn't understand what the Qing court or Yongzheng planned specifically, it did not affect the current progress of the Han army, so the battle plan for the next stage was naturally very important.

"Your Majesty, since the First Group Army of our army has successfully taken Shandong, and is currently in the areas of Linqing, Gucheng, Wuqiao, and Qingyun, when the Second Group Army moves to Jizhou and Xingtai, it can launch the final battle plan and directly attack Zhili from the periphery, so as to attract the main force of the Qing army to come out for a decisive battle."

Ujikei, deputy chief of the general staff of the Privy Council, looked solemn, and he stood in front of the big map, pointing the baton in his hand on various important places, and expounding the current campaign plan one by one.

"In order to better achieve the purpose of the campaign, the Central Group Army will load ships from Shanghai and directly launch the battle against Tianjin, whether the Qing army besieges Tianjin and our Central Group Army or fights a decisive battle with our First and Second Group Army on the periphery of Zhili, a situation will be formed in which two or even three are attacked."

Ning Yu nodded slightly, in fact, this set is a continuation of the original battle plan, so there will be no problems in the current situation, but what really makes him feel puzzled is that with the current plan, he is afraid that the Qing army will detect it in advance, and it will be a bit troublesome to go out directly.

If the current main force of the Qing army is not completely annihilated in the pass, it will become very troublesome outside the pass in the future, after all, with the current logistics capacity of Ning Chu, there is a big problem in itself if you want to maintain a large number of troops outside the pass, which means that there is an extremely long-term battle between Ning Chu and the Qing court.

Unless you wait for Ning Chu to have another battle like the Five Expeditions of Mongolia, it is possible that the Great Qing Dynasty will become a Northern Yuan-like existence, although it cannot really threaten you, but it will disgust you every day.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu's expression changed slightly, "This battle must be fought cleanly enough, in order to maintain absolute superiority over the Qing court, these 150,000 people must be wiped out in the Guannei without leaving any land, does the Privy Council take this into account?" ”

Hearing Ning Yu's question, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, especially Ning Zhongyi, as a privy envoy, he originally had a bigger idea about this battle, that is, to completely destroy the Qing army, so as to open up the road to attack Manchuria, so he also had a lot of ideas.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Central Group Army can divide its troops to land in Jinzhou and point directly at Shanhaiguan!"
