"Zheng Sen? The eldest son of the Zheng family? Is An Nanhou finally willing to come back from outside the border? As soon as Chen Hongfan heard the identity of the person, he immediately thought that Zheng Zhilong had returned, and said sarcastically when he opened his mouth.

Zheng Sen looked at Chen Hongfan, who was dressed in an official robe and had a rich body, but there were a few more bubbles at the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little tired, and he felt incredible in his heart. This Chen Hongfan looked at his past actions, but he was not the master who was willing to do his best for the court, he didn't want to, but now he is so concerned.

But Chen Hongfan's ridicule still made Zheng Sen angry. "My father led the army into the realm of Dongyu for hundreds of miles, broke Niuzhuang and Ke'anshan, swept the Liao River, restored Liaoyang, burned Shengjing, rescued tens of thousands of people, and now returned triumphantly and raised the national prestige. Chen Dudu looked angry, didn't he already regard the Tartars as his own country in his heart? ”

Since Chen Hongfan doesn't save face, why does he Zheng Sen save face for this birdman?

The first Buddha who immediately angered Chen Hongfan ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha was born. Excited, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Zheng Sen and scolded loudly: "Zheng Sen, because of your father's fame, he was trusted by His Majesty as the pillar of the imperial court, but he ignored the gains and losses of the imperial court, blindly invited the name and sold the fame, sold the reputation, suppressed the loyalty, intercepted the national envoy, Lang Lang, and the day is clear, there will always be a day when your Zheng family will be corrected." Thinking that it was the Zheng family that put themselves in such a life-and-death situation, Chen Hongfan now has Zheng Sen's heart.

Zheng Sen's face was not angry, Chen Hongfan's appearance was angry because of him, it was too out of gear. "Haha, as Governor Chen said, it is clear and clear. In this world, there is always a history written, public and private, whether it is true or false, no one can escape the judgment of history. ”

"Hmph, what Zheng Dagongzi said is really better than singing. This sentence will also be given to you by the little marquis. Lang Lang Qiankun, every day is clear, who is responsible for selfishness, who is famous and famous, and the history is full of its own judgments. "Ma Shaoyu Shi Ran appeared.

This person was Chen Xinjia's confidant with Zhang Ruoqi at the beginning, and he rushed to urge Hong Chengchou to march outside the border, but Zhang Ruoqi was in the army, and Ma Shaoyu stayed in the rear, so he and Zheng Sen were old acquaintances.

"It turned out to be Ma Langzhong, who said goodbye to the gate at the beginning, and I haven't seen it for many days, but now I see that it is still full of red light." Zheng Sen looked down on this Ma Shaoyu a little, and when the Songjin War was in the beginning, this birdman stayed in the rear. In hindsight, Zhang Ruoqi was put in prison, and Ma Shaoyu was still Chen Xinjia's confidant. Later, he also negotiated peace with Dai Chen Xinjia and the Manchu Qing in private, but it was not reached.

After Chen Xinjia's death, he disappeared, but now he has appeared in the mission, and his position has changed from the former head of the military department to the former head of the military department.

"The Tartars entered the customs, invaded Shenjing, and wanted to contaminate the Central Plains, and the depth of the legacy was not weak Jin Yuan. My father led troops to fight with him in Jinmen, first took advantage of the emptiness in the rear, led the troops straight in, recovered Liaoyang, burned Shengjing, and saved tens of thousands of people. ”

"Take advantage of the situation? Knowing that the imperial court intended to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he brazenly mobilized troops regardless of the gains and losses of the imperial court, so that today's stalemate was caused and the imperial court's plan was ruined. Put it away. ”

The Southern Ming court knew that its troops were weak and its combat strength was also weak, and after deducting Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 army, the soldiers and horses available to the small court were really embarrassing.

At the beginning of Emperor Chongzhen's entry into Jinling, the Dashun army occupied Xiangyang, Jingzhou, De'an, Chengtian, and Huangzhou in the west, and entered the Huai River valley in the east.

However, with the rapid occupation of Kifu by the Qing troops and the westward withdrawal of the Dashun army, the situation in the Central Plains has undergone great changes, and the situation of belonging to Qilu and the central and northern parts of the Central Plains has directly appeared uncertain.

Under the situation of the three-way confrontation, because the Dashun regime was no longer able to look eastward, Liu Fangliang and Guo Sheng were obviously on the defensive, and this vast area became the focus of contention between the Southern Ming and Manchu Qing sides. However, some gentry in Jinan, Qilu, and the Central Plains launched rebellions to overthrow the local Dashun regime, which was also called for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Southern Ming should have taken advantage of this favorable opportunity to send troops north to expand the ruling area as much as possible. In this way, it can not only prevent the Qing troops from moving south, but also a way to improve oneself. However, the small court of Jinling has always been stagnant and blindly guards the south of the Yangtze River.

Since the end of Wanli, the Ming court has suffered repeated major defeats in the conquest against the Manchus, and years of fighting have long made them hopeless of defeating the Manchus head-on. Moreover, the main military pillars of the Southern Ming Dynasty, such as Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others were all defeated generals who were repeatedly defeated in the hands of the Qing army, and even they couldn't even beat the Dashun army, and the Dashun army was defeated by the Qing army, which shows that the strongest of the strong is more powerful.

So, up to Chongzhen, down to the city of civil and military, they all accepted Shi Kefa's proposal.

I thought that the most clever strategy was not to take a step beyond the thunder pool, so as not to "provoke" the Qing soldiers and give them the excuse to go south. And its own abundant strength to win enough time.

Then, the humble and humble courtes were better than the Qing court, and it was necessary to maintain a peaceful situation.

Chongzhen's ministers may not be able to see that even if the Southern Ming army does not go north to compete with the Manchus for Qilu and the Central Plains, the Qing army will sooner or later go south to collect Lu and Henan, and border with the Southern Ming court to fight for land. But many people think they have a plan - they just verbally shout and shout at Li Zicheng, but in the actual battle, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fight with the Liukou, and they will hide in Jiangnan to expand their strength with peace of mind.

This is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

When the two tigers will be injured when they fight, the Southern Ming court will also be able to recover some strength, and it will be seen whether it will fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time.

Such an idea has been recognized by many people in Jinling, but among some opponents, there are very few who clamored for incompatibility with Dongyu. Most of them are people like Zuo Maodi, who think that the Southern Ming court is the right in the world, and an alliance with the Eastern Emperor can bring shame to the imperial court. And not to have a fundamental opposition to that kind of 'military strategy'.

Zheng Sen was a little angry in his heart, he couldn't look down on people like Chen Hongfan, but Ma Shaoyu's words were bad, which made him a little angry. "The king of the people and the tree is born to make the priest. For more than 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has been engaged in war with the Tartars, and countless soldiers and soldiers have been killed in battle, and millions of people in the land of Liaodong have turned into unjust souls and bones. Not to mention that the Tartars entered the customs several times, all of them were corpses all over the field, bleeding and drifting. Daming lost his sword, and there were tens of millions of people. The people of these beasts and beasts have a blood feud with my people of Yan Huang. But you want to make the Son of Heaven fornicate with him, are you not afraid of being condemned to God? ”

Zheng Damu is also a Xiucai, and the ink in his stomach is not nothing, but he is just a big talk, a saint's words, and who wouldn't be able to sophistry.

Ma Shaoyu immediately opened his mouth.

But this invitation is gone.

When Zuo Maodi came out, Ma Shaoyu's eyes were red, and he grabbed Zuo Maodi's sleeve and shouted: "Zheng Zhilong, this horseman, first disregarded the imperial court's plan to use force outside the border, and then made people cut off the envoys, and put the north and the south into harmony. In the opinion of the following officials, this thief should be a big trouble for the imperial court in the future, and he must not ignore it......"

Zuo Maodi immediately frowned and glared at Ma Shaoyu angrily, "Ma Langzhong said cautiously. The Marquis of Annam is an important minister of the country, how can he wantonly slander? Although he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhipeng's truncation, Shicai also refused Zheng Zhilong's invitation, and only asked Zheng Sen to reply to Zheng Zhilong, and he wanted to send an envoy to Yanjing immediately. But this does not mean that he regards Zheng Zhilong as a traitor and a traitor.

And what place is it now? The person is in the palm of the Zheng family's hand, is the surname Ma tired and crooked?

To be honest, Zuo Maodi was about to applaud Zheng Sen's words just now. Why didn't you think of it when you were in Jinling?

And after Zheng Sen returned to the Jinmen General Military Mansion, he first confessed to Zheng Zhilong, and then told him in detail about the before and after, Zheng Zhilong naturally would not blame him. Then Zuo Maodi sent a letter to Zheng Zhilong, writing: Fang Jin's thief is still in a situation, and he must be guarded against. ...... the imperial court and the eastern captives were together, it was a bunch of words that Zheng Zhilong also understood and understood the difficulties of the imperial court.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong also got Hong Chengchou's recital, and it is said that it was only five days after this recital was delivered to Jinling, and the mission to the north officially set off.

“………… However, if he (the Manchu Qing) is left to work alone, and I enjoy his leisure, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince him and advocate for me. For today's plan, or the temporary vacation is cheap, the right to pass through the north is good, and the army is united to fight the thief. It is called the Western Expedition, and it is actually the Eastern Defense. The rebels have been pacified, the country has been established, and then Xu Tu will deal with it. If one confronts the thieves, not only will the army be insufficient, but if the thieves join forces, abandon the revenge and lead the good, and force the south, the disaster will be in the Jianghuai.

…… Fu has Shandong, then there is Jinan, there is Jinan, and then there is North Zhili. Linqing, the hub of the south and north of the country. Instead of guarding Huai with the salary of the world, it is better to guard Qilu with the salary of two Huai. I hope that the emperor will choose an envoy who will not dishonor his life, contact the north, and relieve the troubles, comfort Shandong Prefecture and County, and strengthen the hearts of the people. ……”

This Hong Chengchou still has a bottom.

But no matter how high the insight is, it can't erase the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, and he is also in favor of the peace talks between Nanming and the Manchus. What does this mean?

This shows that even Hong Chengchou's expectations for the Northern Recovery of the Central Plains are only superficial.

Jinling sent envoys to Yanjing to ask for goodwill, is this really just an expedient measure?

Zheng Zhilong felt that if you Chongzhen and his ministers really hope to recover the Central Plains in the north, then don't think about the joint capture in your mind.

And since the monarchs and ministers have agreed to join the captives, I am afraid that it is unlikely that they will restore the Central Plains, right?

It was the situation at hand that saved them. If this is still the same as in history, the Tartars have already driven Li Zicheng to the point of ignoring his head, then the Jinling Imperial Court will be able to feel the coldness of the forest pressed from the north in winter at most.

But if Li Zicheng can really carry the Tartar in Jinxi for a while, then don't say it, the Manchu Qing really want to have a good talk with Nanming.

Although the peace talks between the Ming and Qing dynasties were something that Zheng Zhilong did not want to see, and he wanted to try his best to reconcile - it was not that Zheng Zhilong took pity on Li Zicheng, but that he always thought that Li Zicheng was a disadvantage.

This gang of old Li, the Tartars always have to work harder, don't they?

It's not that Zheng Zhilong looks down on the dignitaries and dignitaries of Nanming, after his actions outside the customs were passed back to Jinling, Zuo Maodi was detained, and Chongzhen wanted to find a group of people who dared to go north without fear of life and death, but he couldn't find it!

But Zheng Zhilong had to admit that this approach made Ming Qing really move, and it was very likely that his estimated "investment" in Nanming would greatly increase.

But so what?

He had already made up his mind.

You must know that he still had a little emotion in his heart earlier, first Chongzhen moved south, and later he was captured by Pingkou......

In the previous life, there was no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king died".

Now he is mixing peace talks. Always have to 'reserve' a trace of face for Emperor Chongzhen, right?
