Chongzhen agreed!

Before anyone entered the General's Mansion, Zhu Guoqiang felt the joy in the mansion, and everyone looked happy.

"Lord Shizi, the court has agreed!"

As soon as he saw the prince, Song Xuezhu said.

"The imperial court has agreed to allow the prince to lead the troops into the customs to clear out the rogues!"

As the governor of Shandong, he "finally" came down from office last year, and came to Dalian with Chen Changgeng one after another, serving as the left and right chiefs respectively, and Chen Changgeng was the head of the civil officials in the house.

Among so many civilian officials, that is, he advocates "entering the customs" and suppressing bandits all the time. In fact, this is just an excuse, but it has been supported by many people, after all, in the case of the exile far away, the rogue has naturally become a henchman who endangers the world, and it should naturally be exterminated.

Entering the customs, this is the general trend!

But what is the ultimate purpose of entry? Except for a few people, most of them couldn't say clearly, many of them didn't think that far, or they were avoiding the issue, but now, the entry of the quasi-generals of the imperial court, no matter what the future holds, is what they desire at the moment.

Compared with their joy, Zhu Guoqiang seemed quite calm.

"Has the Divine Decree arrived?"

"The Holy Decree and the Envoy are still on the way, and it is news that our people have sent from the capital."

Shi Lei's answer made Zhu Guoqiang nod, compared to the imperial court's eight-hundred-mile expeditious, he has a special fast sailing ship on the side of Bohai Bay to transmit information, and it only takes one day and night to travel from Tianjin to Dalian, which is definitely faster than the imperial court.

"How could the imperial court suddenly make this decision."

Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.

Didn't they just refuse half a year ago? And the attitude of refusal is very resolute.

Why did you suddenly change your attitude now?

"Because the current situation is not optimistic, at the beginning of the month, Sun Chuanting was defeated and killed in Ruzhou, and then the thieves used their handsome banner to deceive the Tongguan City, the Central Plains and Shaanxi have basically been occupied by the Liukou, plus the thieves made chaos in Huguang, so there were ministers who suggested that the prince should enter ......the customs."

After Shi Lei's words fell, everyone started talking word by word, looking at their optimistic appearance, Zhu Guoqiang was unwilling to break their illusions.

It's almost November, and in another five months, Chongzhen will hang himself on the crooked-necked tree.

In five months, even if he leads his troops south now, how can he save the tide?

"Shiziye, the imperial court ordered Shiziye to lead 20,000 troops, enter the Yangtze River by sea, and go to Huguang to suppress Zhang Xianzhong! I'm afraid that I still have a defensive intention in my heart, and logically speaking, I should let the prince lead the troops to suppress the thieves......"

Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong!

Silently chanting this name, Zhu Guoqiang's heart suddenly felt happy again, I have to say, Chongzhen gave himself a pair of Wang Bang for nothing!

Chongzhen didn't know the future. But I know it! Zhang Xianzhong is not Daming's henchman. But he has plagued the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty - Huguang, and the fundamental reason for the shortage of grain in Jiangnan this year is because of the chaos in Huguang, which has led to a large reduction in local grain production and the inability to transport grain.

As far as he is concerned, he can take the opportunity to pacify Zhang Xianzhong and prepare for a few months later. Chongzhen: This is equivalent to giving Jiangnan to himself!

What a gift!

"Precautions are precautions, whether it is a thief, a thief, a thief, it is all my Ming thief, it is a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, this time I went south, first suppress the thief, and after the thief was suppressed, then please order to exterminate the thief, and return the world to a bright world, so that the people of the world can live a peaceful life again, as for the rest, there is no need to say much, just prepare to send troops!"

After that, Zhu Guoqiang commanded again.

"The two long histories will stay, and the others will step back first."

After that, Zhu Guoqiang welcomed Chen Changgeng and Song Xuezhu into the hall, said a few words, and then led them into the inner room, retreated left and right, looked at them and said:

"Okay, now that there are no outsiders here, the will of the imperial court is coming, I don't know how the two of you will teach me?"

Song Xuezhu and Chen Changgeng understood very well in their hearts, smiled, and said:

"Entering the customs is what people want!"

"Shiziye, entering the customs is not only the desire of the people, but also the opportunity of Shiziye......"

Speaking of this, Song Xuezhu sighed deeply, stared at the prince and said.

"At present, the situation in the pass, the minister already knows a little bit about it, although it has not yet reached the point of turmoil in Shenjing, but with the current momentum of the rogues, especially the thieves, in less than half a year, the thieves will definitely march to the capital, and then the world will be turbulent, and now His Majesty is still hesitant about whether to transfer the eastern border army of Liaodong into the customs, and the court also has a lot of scruples about the prince of the world, even now, let the prince enter the customs, but it must be restrained, so that the general can not go all out to fight, so that the indecision is not the blessing of the country?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhu Guoqiang did not speak, in fact, in history, it was Chongzhen's indecisiveness and indecision that ruined the Ming Dynasty, originally even when Li Zicheng went north, before and after the fall of Ningwu Pass, he had a chance to turn the tables, even if he did not negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he directly gave up Guanning, and ordered Wu Sangui to lead the troops into the pass, relying on the cavalry advantage of the Guanning army, it was not possible to turn the tables.

Even when Li Zicheng forced the capital, he was able to escape from Beijing to Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty still had a chance, but he didn't do it, and even the title of an earl was hesitant, what is the lord? It's just a piece of paper, hesitating on a piece of paper, and as a result, I lost the world of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen...... Now the world is in the midst of great changes unseen in a thousand years, and no matter what, this throne cannot be left to him!

"Your Majesty doesn't need to ask him for the time being, no matter what he does, the most important thing is this opportunity! Look, can we seize this opportunity? ”

In the face of the prince's inquiry, Song Xuezhu and Chen Changgeng glanced at each other, unlike Song Xuezhu who has been through the ups and downs of the sea for a long time, Chen Changgeng has been the chief of the palace for more than ten years, and is the head of the civil officials of the German palace, and has long been accustomed to intrigue with the court for many years.

"Lord Shizi, the key now is to look at the situation in the next half year, with the current situation, the imperial court is indeed in difficulty. In such a situation, anyone with the slightest foresight knows what the future will be, and the minister listened to the spies who sent the letter. After learning that the emperor summoned the prince to enter the customs and Pingkou, there was a burst of jubilation inside and outside the capital, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the millions of people in Beijing all hoped that the prince would exterminate the Liukou as soon as possible to solve the danger in the world? Over the past few years, the land of the Central Plains has been ravaged by the rogues, and millions of people have been killed and injured by the coercion of them. Hundreds of people inside and outside the capital have such ardent hopes for the prince, but the imperial court is bent on going south with the prince and sacrificing the thief first, as for the thief, if the thief threatens Shenjing, what will be the situation at that time? No matter what the prince does, the most important thing is how the situation will develop in the past six months, if the thieves seize Xi'an, and stop moving forward with Xi'an as the emperor, then ......"

"He won't be trapped in Xi'an!"

Song Xuezhu said directly.

"Shaanxi has been in drought for several years, I don't know how many people have been displaced, and hundreds of thousands of homeless people have entered Shaanxi, what to eat? With what? Whether he wants to or not, after conquering Xi'an, he can only go out of Tongguan again, eat in Henan, and maybe even point to the capital, and ...... when the time comes."

Turning his gaze to the prince, Song Xuezhu said.

"That's the chance of the prince!"

With that, he said in a low voice.

"Once Shenjing is shaken, the prince should immediately go to Nanjing to inherit the unification!"

"But, what if it's just Shenjing shaking and the emperor is still there?"

"His Majesty is the Emperor!"

"But the prince is still here! The prince is a distant domain again! ”

"But the prince of the world has a strong army! Plus the ancestral family, 200,000 troops in hand, close to the domain? ”

Song Xuezhu sneered.

"Although King Fu is a close vassal and has no soldiers and horses, what is the use?"

Son of Heaven, the strong and strong should do it!

The same is true for the royal clansmen, as long as there are soldiers and horses in hand, why worry about not getting the throne!

"Besides, in addition to the soldiers and horses, the minister also has an idea, the prince just needs to rest assured that he will go south, and the minister will fight to pieces, and he will also help the prince get back the orthodoxy."
