Qian Sule gradually stopped coughing, he raised his head and looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng didn't wait for Qian Sule's answer, and continued: "Obviously, this is wishful thinking. The biggest reason for the armistice between the Qing court and the Yixing Dynasty was not that the military strength of the Yixing Dynasty was enough to resist the iron hooves of the Eight Banners, let alone because the Qing court had mercy in its heart, but that the main force of the Qing army had been pinned down in the northwest, southwest and southeast directions. They were overstretched and had to deal with a rebellion from the Mongol tribes. But this is the case, once Duoduo freed his hands from Fujian, he tore up the armistice treaty and brazenly led a large army to attack Shaoxing and Jinhua. Father-in-law, don't believe the assurances of the Qing court, this is a race war, a war of life and death, even if I don't kill Duoduo, the big war will still come, it's nothing more than a night for a year and a half. ”

Qian Sule got up slowly, and he said sadly: "But it's much better than breaking out into war now, our military strength and national strength are far inferior to the Qing army...... 100,000 or a million lives in Jiangnan will be destroyed because of your recklessness. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily!" Wu Zheng's voice was soft, but unusually firm.

Qian Sule was stunned, but he could figure it out, since Wu Zheng had already said that killing Duoduo was not a momentary rush when the blood was surging, then naturally he should have a plan, at least he should have figured out the consequences.

He looked at Wu Zheng and did not question again, but waited for Wu Zheng to continue.

"The Qing court seems to be powerful, but in my opinion, it is actually a strong inward, 10,000 sailors broke through Jiangbei and occupied Jiangdu, and the Qing court had tens of thousands of troops in Jiangbei, but it could not completely annihilate this lone army after two months. This was unthinkable when the Qing army had just entered the customs four years ago. ”

"Their advance was so fast that the Ming army could not organize its defenses, which was their advantage, but also their flaw. The battle line is getting longer and longer, so long that they themselves can defeat themselves into an army, and the food and grass supplies cannot keep up, so they can only take food on the spot, but in this way, the resistance of the people everywhere is becoming more and more fierce. In the northwest, southwest, southeast and even eastern Zhejiang, even if the Qing army occupied, but because the foundation was not stable, it needed a lot of manpower and material resources to stabilize, but the population of the Tatars was insufficient, although the Eight Banners were strong, suffering from the limited number of people, they could only use the strategy of governing the Han with Han to take the chestnut from the fire, although this is a good method, but the disadvantage is that it takes a long time. ”

"Even if the Qing court is really willing to live in harmony with our dynasty for five or ten years, then the gap in strength between the two sides will be even greater, and the land and population they own will be more than ten times that of ours. Time is not on our side, so it is really beneficial to hold it back, to harass it constantly, to make it unable to recuperate, and to let it only rely on plundering the people everywhere to obtain the food and money needed for the war. ”

Qian Sule asked, "But while we drag it on, we can't recuperate ourselves...... The gap in strength will continue to widen. ”

"That's right." Wu Zheng nodded and said, "But who made our country ruined and became a slave to the country?" Who made it impossible for us to beat them? We have to live the consciousness of hard times. But one thing is certain: the land of the twelve prefectures of our dynasty, with a population of six or seven million, plus all of them my compatriots, is far easier to control the situation than the Qing court, which will be like sitting on the crater of a volcano, tossing and turning. If it drags on, as long as the three parties and we can hold on, even if we may not win, the Qing court will definitely lose. ”

"If the two sides are compared to an elephant and a wolf, the Qing court is the elephant, it can raise its feet and trample the wolf flat, but will the wolf let it step on it? The wolf is far faster and more reflexive than the elephant, and that's our advantage, we circle around the elephant, let it have no leisure, drag it to death, exhaust it, and then keep attacking it from unexpected places, and finally accumulate small victories into big victories, and completely bite it. ”

Qian Sule was thinking and understanding Wu Zheng's words, he raised his head and asked, "Even if you are right, but now that the Qing army is coming to attack and retaliate, how will it pass?" ”

yes, that's the most fatal thing right now.

Wu Zheng replied: "According to my judgment, after the Qing court learned that Duoduo was killed, they would definitely retaliate and attack, and they had to attack, and if they did not attack, they would lose face and momentum, which would be extremely unfavorable for them to fight on three sides. But how many troops can the Qing court send now? Fifty thousand? Or 100,000? 100,000 is the maximum limit that can be sent, and most of them must be newly recruited soldiers, and these soldiers are all from the Han Chinese. Not to mention the lack of unity of people, and the lack of training and combat strength, can such an army break through our defense line towards the Yangtze River? If we really want to be breached, then we really should die. ”

Qian Sule thought for a while and said, "Once the war starts, will you send troops to reinforce Ying Tianfu?" ”

Wu Zheng suddenly snorted coldly, "My father-in-law seems to have forgotten what the emperor did when Duoduo led an army of 40,000 to attack Shaoxing and Jinhua?" Moreover, since he is the emperor of the Yixing Dynasty and the lord of the world, how to deal with the Qing army's attack is his responsibility and obligation. ”

Qian Sule said in a deep voice: "But Your Majesty...... After all, Liao Zhongping and 5,000 Jingwei were also sent to aid Shaoxing Mansion. ”

Wu Zhengwen laughed dumbly when he heard this, "Is the emperor really here to reinforce me?" I'm afraid that I am looking forward to my defeat at the hands of Duoduo, and want to let Liao Zhongping take over the General's Mansion after I die in Pinggang Mountain, right? ”

Qian Sule said stubbornly: "No matter what, you are still a minister, and it is a matter of the lives of the people in eastern Zhejiang, so you can't be willful!" Your Majesty said that his heart is a little ...... is cool, but after all, he also has the ambition of recovering the rivers and mountains and reviving the temple in his heart. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "My father-in-law's evaluation is still pertinent, and I also think he is an ambitious person, so I didn't stop him from ascending the throne at that time." But what I didn't expect was that his mind was not to deal with the enemy, but to put it on his own first. This is very disappointing to me...... No, already utterly disappointed. ”

Qian Sule sighed: "No one is perfect...... If it were you, I am afraid that this is also the case. ”

Wu Zhengzheng said solemnly: "No." Translocation, I thought that if someone could expel the Tartars and restore the Han people, I could share the world with them, instead of thinking about how to snatch the power in his hands, and even I could give way to him, as long as he could recover the rivers and mountains...... The country has been ruined, as long as the Tartars do not enslave our clan, anyone who wins the world, it is the world of the Han people, at least he will not reduce the tens of millions of Han people in the world to slaves, does it matter who will be the emperor? Zongmiao, three hundred years ago, I'm afraid no one would have thought that it would be the world surnamed Zhu in the future, right? ”

Qian Sule looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, "But you still want to raise troops to the north, right?" You're still thinking about taking the throne, aren't you? ”
