What are Xiong Rulin, Fang Guoan, Zhang Guowei and others doing?

Zhang Huangyan is an envoy, why didn't he correct the deviation in time...... What does Chen Zilong want to do?

What do the Xia sisters want to do? Does Xia Wanchun know?

Although the original intention of the petition was to oppose peace talks with the Manchus, not to oppose the King of Wu and the General's Mansion, Wu Zheng was still vigilant, and he faintly felt a trace of abnormality in his heart.

But now that the war is in full swing, if the enemy secretly instigates and causes civil unrest, the consequences will be extremely serious, which makes Wu Zheng's back chill. Song An was blocking enemy reinforcements in the north at this time, and Wu Zheng couldn't get away for a while to go back to Hangzhou Mansion to deal with it.

After careful consideration, Wu Zheng sent people back to Hangzhou with his own handwritten letter, ordering Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, and Zhang Huangyan to "pacify" public opinion in a timely manner, so as not to affect the morale of the army who were fighting fiercely.

At the same time, Wu Zheng sent messengers to Yingtianfu to write letters to Emperor Zhu Lianbi and Shoufu Huang Daozhou, asking the imperial court to calm down public opinion in the capital and the surrounding areas.

For a time, Xuzhou Ti rode out in four places.

Wu Zheng, who was looking at the rolling clouds in the sky, suddenly found that his heart was empty, as if he had fallen from a very high place...... Helpless.

Could this be a conspiracy planned by the Qing court against itself?

Or is it just a riot of young people's energy?

Wu Zheng suddenly remembered Mao Xiang's words, Song An's ability in this regard was indeed lacking.

It is a good strategy to separate the north of Changlin Wei River and let Mao Xiang test the water.

However, Wu Zheng still did not realize the seriousness of this "riot".

If he resolutely returned to Hangzhou Mansion at this time, he might be able to stop the riots that affected the 37 Prefectures of the Jianxing Dynasty.

But it is undeniable that if Wu Zheng returns, then this Northern Expedition will also die halfway.

Wu Zheng has never been a master of military affairs and the art of war, and his strategies and decrees are basically all moves and dismantling moves, lacking what is commonly referred to as systematization and continuity.

In the past six years, it is often a small war that turns into a big war, a big war that turns into a national war, and then suddenly ends without a problem.

Mao Xiang has a saying that is right, "It can be taken aggressively, but it is necessary to encroach", this sentence cuts into Wu Zheng's weakness, this is because Wu Zheng was a small person in his previous life, and the three views that he has cultivated determine that he cannot have too outstanding highlights.

Although Wu Zheng has been advancing with the times in the past six years, the cultivation and baptism of the three views cannot be completely changed in six years, just like the old scholars of this era, the established three views are as difficult to change.

Wu Zheng clinged to the power of the army, which is undoubtedly correct, his energy was all contained in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the effect of controlling and transforming the generals was very obvious.

However, his delegation of power to government affairs has also caused the irreversible formation of mountains between the civil and military.

When he started in Shaoxing Mansion, Wu Zheng was only a thousand households, with three or four thousand people under his command, and he engaged in family-style management, which was very suitable and efficient.

But now it's different, the general's mansion is a big business, the Northern Expeditionary Army has 200,000 people, the convergence of the loyal battalion of the original Dashun Army, the return of the Qing Dynasty ministers is constantly coming, and several small groups of rebels along the coast have taken refuge and so on.

Thinking about the original management and ruling methods, it is obvious that they are already inadequate, in other words, even if they want to continue like this, Wu Zheng does not have so many relatives and friends to appoint.

Wu Zheng is not an indigenous, he does not have decades of network precipitation, and if he continues to grow, he must use people, use those who are unfamiliar, and may even have different aspirations, such as Huang Daozhou, such as Chen Zilong, and then Ma Shiying or Fang Guoan, etc.

These people have different demands and different paths.

However, Wu Zheng's deep-rooted cognition of the world made his way of promoting talents very limited, for example, until this time, even the imperial court had already opened the imperial examination, and the General's Mansion was still recommending officials, which was too ancient and needed to be changed.

It's not that Wu Zheng doesn't want to change, but this change is not easy, it takes too much energy, too painful choices, and even bloodshed, and the owner of this blood should be someone Wu Zheng is familiar with, or even a close person.

Wu Zheng can't do this, he can be ruthless to the enemy, but he can't be ruthless to his own people.

Therefore, agreeing to take over Changlinwei in Jiangbei, in fact, Wu Zheng is making changes, although he is still not decisive enough, but after all, he is already changing, which is a good start.

……。

Wu Zheng really couldn't get up, because the Qing court's mission came too quickly.

Gotta hurry!

As soon as Ziyang broke, the gate to the north suddenly opened.

As soon as Fengyang was lost, the entire territory of Henan was caught between the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Great Western Army.

Although Andongwei is a military pass, it is related to Qingzhou, Jinan, and the last barrier to the south of Gyeonggi in the Qing court.

In fact, the Qing court was also very entangled, as entangled as Wu Zheng, they didn't want to fight this battle of survival, but they had to fight.

What they subconsciously hoped was that Wu Zheng would help them make this determination.

You know, after all, silver does not fall from the sky, and in this era, silver is really not omnipotent, because it cannot solve the disadvantages of low productivity, in other words, once the war starts, there is no silver to buy materials.

It turned out to be okay, cold weapons, as long as you hoard enough grain, you can fight, but now, the Qing court has been forcibly conscripting soldiers twice in a row for more than three years, first 60,000 and then 100,000, even if the treasury is abundant, it can't bear it, not to mention that after the Qing court entered the customs, it did not stop the horseshoe of the war.

Not to mention the emptiness of the treasury, even the Jin merchants who had been attached to the Qing court were emptied, and even the merchants of the northern provinces also suffered from the pond fish.

The Qing court needed to confirm that the Northern Expeditionary Army had no intention of negotiating peace, and only in this way could they grit their teeth and give up everything to fight this decisive battle.

Suke Saha and Sonny traveled day and night, and when they arrived in Xuzhou, they almost flashed their old waists, and the pain and spasms on their faces made Wu Zheng laugh.

This negotiation is destined to be protracted.

The reason is very simple, Wu Zheng is also undecided.

The Northern Expeditionary Army already had the combat strength to continue the Northern Expedition, but the logistics couldn't keep up, but the battle situation was advancing very smoothly, and seeing that the entire Yanzhou was already like a woman with a red fruit, she opened her arms to herself, which everyone would covet.

Originally, Wu wanted to negotiate peace, stabilize the coastal areas and accumulate strength, and then secretly support Li Dingguo's weapons and materials, so that the Great Western Army could continue to advance north and fight a proxy war.

It's a pity that the Great Western Army broke its wings in Runing Mansion, and it would take at least three or five months to continue to transfer troops from Yungui, when the daylilies were cold.

Proxy wars are no longer possible, so the Northern Expeditionary Army will have to do it bare-chested.

But the confidence of the General's Mansion, Wu Zheng knows better than anyone else, that is, he can't lose, and a defeat can flow eastward.

Fight a few small battles, even if it is a local war, Wu Zheng can make a decisive decision, but he can fight a decisive battle, Wu Zheng, who is not sure of victory, can he not suffer from gains and losses?
