Inspector Yuan, didn't I rush eight hundred miles and give you a secret letter, asking you to strengthen Longjing Pass and Da'ankou in the Jizhen Defense Area? Why did Huang Taiji break in from here? ”

"Ignorant child, what do you know?" Yuan Chonghuan got angry, waved his sleeves, and retreated into the darkness.

"I guess, you have long made plans to strengthen the border defense of Jizhen, but the court is erosive, and the emperor is stupid, so he didn't listen to you, right?"

Wang Zezhi clasped his hands to his chest and said confidently.

"Shut up, yellow-haired child, how dare you discuss the government in vain, the current emperor of the previous generation, how can you slander."

"Don't be funny, if he were a saint, he would lock you in?"

"Hmph, I have already asked the imperial court to strengthen the defense of the east, west and north border passes of Liao, and distribute the food and salary of my eastern defense line to Jizhen.

I am stationed in Ningyuan, and I can keep the eastern front as stable as Mount Tai.

Although it is said that the border defense line is a whole, however, the border defense of Jizhen is declining, and the soldiers are short of food and salary, hey, I am also powerless.

I can keep Ningyuan's front line, it's because I beheaded Mao Wenlong and robbed him of his salary, otherwise, the soldiers under my command would also gather troops to make trouble.

The northwest border pass was broken, to be honest, it's my. ”

The more Yuan Chonghuan thought about it, the more angry he became, he wanted food without food, he wanted to be paid, he wanted the horses to run, and he didn't give the horses grass, where did he come from such a good thing in the world.

"You killed Mao Wenlong just for food?" Wang Zezhi asked.

"Nonsense, what do children understand.

The food and salary are just convenient, it is a fact that Mao Wenlong supports the army and is self-respecting, and it is also a fact that he intends to be self-reliant, and after he fornicated with him, Jin is mainly a letter, that is, I will not kill him, and after he rebels, the court will not let him go. ”

"When Mao Wenlong rebels, I'm afraid the court won't be able to do anything to him, so you should strike first?"

"That's right."

"It is rumored that you killed Mao Wenlong in order to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji."

Yuan Chonghuan fell silent when he heard this, and he didn't even have the sound of chains mopping the floor.

The cell suddenly became extremely quiet.

Wang Ze's heart sank, could it be that the rumors were true.

The exchanges between the two countries are false and false, and whoever is serious loses.

It seems that Yuan Chonghuan is serious.

"To be honest, when I study your forward route, it's very weird, it's like you're deliberately letting Huang Taiji enter Beijing.

It is rumored that you deliberately let Huang Taiji enter Beijing, just to use this as a threat to get the emperor to agree to negotiate peace. ”

"Slander! You know what a fart, Liaodong is known as 200,000 border troops, but the actual combatable soldiers are less than 100,000, and the only people I can directly call are Zu Dashou's more than 10,000 personal soldiers, as well as the 8,000 standard battalion under my command.

The most important thing is that we are short of war horses.

I have 6,000 cavalry in my hand, and it is difficult to run for a long time, what can I do?

I can only try my best to intercept Huang Taiji and push them back.

Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are solid and must be foolproof, and Huang Taiji will not be stupid enough to attack these two cities.

As long as he is blocked by me, there is only one way to retreat.

Unfortunately, I lost. ”

Yuan Chonghuan gradually walked out of the darkness, unwillingly clutching the fence in the cell.

"Alas, did you tell the emperor that Liaodong would be recovered in five years?" Wang Zezhi asked curiously.

"That day, I entered Beijing to face the saint, and when I saw that the emperor was worried, I wanted to share the emperor's worries, make him happy and have less worries."

Yuan Chonghuan sighed and regretted his original joke.

"There is no joke in front of the emperor, you don't know, right?"

"Of course I know, for this reason, I meditated hard and came up with three strategies for Pingliao, which are military training, defending the city, and joint defense."

"These three strategies are very good."

"Hehe... Are you complimenting me, or are you laughing at me? To the best of my knowledge, you do better than I do. "Yuan Chonghuan, as the governor of Jiliao, cannot be a person who is closed to information.

He also knows a little about Wang Zezhi.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wang Zezhi said modestly.

He really didn't dare, he could have the current achievements, it was because he came from the future, and his head was filled with the experience and knowledge summed up by countless predecessors.

Yuan Chonghuan is different, he has achieved this level with his own ability.

"Listen, there is only one real Pingliao strategy in my heart, that is, to seek peace with war, as for the three Pingliao strategies I said, it is just to gain the emperor's trust.

As a courtier, only with the support of the emperor can he make a difference, otherwise, he will definitely achieve nothing. ”

"That's right." Wang Zezhi listened and nodded.

"I will have a man-made disaster tomorrow, the south is worried about the north, and the party in the court is endless, not to mention the recovery of Liaodong in five years, it is difficult to recover Liaodong in ten or twenty years, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger."

"Hmm." Wang Zezhi felt a little heavy when he heard this, and his image of Yuan Chonghuan had a earth-shaking change.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Yuan Chonghuan is facing this kind of difficulty.

"I, Daming, fighting on two fronts, on the one hand, to resist Huang Taiji, on the other hand, to eliminate thieves, wars, the people do not have the opportunity to recuperate, so if it continues, Daming will die.

For the future of the Ming Dynasty, the best way is to temporarily admit the existence of the Jin State and make every effort to eliminate internal troubles.

When the people have taken a breath, they will recover Liaodong in one fell swoop. ”

"How many years do you think it will take for the people to catch their breath?" Wang Zezhi asked.

"At least fifteen years, fifteen years, after the thieves are exterminated, and the country is rich and strong, and then the army is marching eastward, we will be able to conquer it in one fell swoop, recover Liaodong, and wipe out the emperor Taiji and others in one fell swoop, this is the best policy to protect the country and the country."

Yuan Chonghuan said that he was excited and began to point out the country.

He is full of hope for the future of Daming.

Wang Zezhi looked at him and felt sad.

Yuan Chonghuan is in prison, but he is still thinking about national affairs.

is such a person, Chongzhen cut him with a thousand knives.

"Inside and outside the court, even Emperor Taiji outside the Guanwai can't imagine that you have such a plan in your heart." Wang Zezhi said.

"Hahaha... What's the use of pretending to be a plan, tomorrow, I'm going to die. Yuan Chonghuan sighed, retreated into the darkness, and sat down on the dirty floor.

The sound of the chain beating the ground reached Wang Zezhi's ears, like Yuan Chonghuan's death knell.

On August 16 of the third year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen was imprisoned in the city for the crime of treason, and his brother and wife flowed 3,000 miles from his home.

In other words, tomorrow is August 16, Yuan Chonghuan's death.

No wonder he would say so much to someone he had never met.

"Hey, hey, hey... Hahaha... In the eyes of the world, I, Yuan Chonghuan, am a traitor, bullying the king, hating to eat my flesh and eat my skin, who knows, I want to have long-term peace and stability, and I can only strive for peace. ”

"Inspector Yuan, you should be worshiped by me." Wang Zezhi took a step back, took a long look to the ground, respectfully and respectfully, and only after a few breaths did he straighten up.

"Whoa!"

Yuan Chonghuan suddenly became excited.

"Tomorrow, I'll die, I hope you can help me continue my unfinished business, I can see that you can do it."

"I can't protect myself, how can I inherit your career?" Wang Zezhi spread his hands and said helplessly.

"You are different from me, you are the person who was single-handedly promoted by the emperor, I am a deceitful and deceived the king, the emperor will not be willing to kill you, at most he will put you in prison for a longer time, and when the matter subsides, you will be fine."

Yuan Chonghuan dealt with Chongzhen a lot, and he also figured out a little Chongzhen's thoughts.

He dared to conclude that Chongzhen would not kill the people he had worked so hard to cultivate.

If he kills Wang Zezhi, he really has no one to use.
