"Brother, in what capacity do you want to write to North Vietnam, can they believe it?" Tao Gong asked.

"It doesn't matter what identity you are, but I think Zheng Jie will believe it, and even if you don't believe it, you will have doubts." Tao Min smiled, "Didn't they believe the letter we wrote back then?" ”

Tao Min didn't make any stops after arranging everything, and quickly returned to Shengjing with a team of 3,000 fast guns.

When Tao Min returned to Shengjing, Xu Lang also rushed to Beijing.

Xu Lang's first words after seeing Zhang Hai were: "Zhang Hai, arrange it immediately, I want to see Wang Chengen immediately." ”

"No arrangement, you'll see him tonight."

Xu Lang was a little strange: "How can it be so fast?" ”

Zhang Hai briefed Xu Lang on the situation in Beijing during these days. After the news of the loss of Xi'an reached Beijing, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the excerpts for the impeachment of Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were about to pile up, but Chongzhen never expressed his position. Wang Chengen sent people twice to ask how Yulin Bay would deal with it, and why Jiang Beiming had been standing still in Datong. Zhang Hai prevaricated on the grounds that the Yulin Army needed to be reorganized, but Wang Chengen also left a message that he must be informed immediately as soon as there was news from Jiang Beiming or a new order from Yulin Bay. Wang Chengen knew that he and Yulin Bay were grasshoppers on the same rope, and he also knew that the imperial court could not move the Yulin army, so he also knew that he couldn't rush too much.

Xu Lang met Wang Chengen that night.

"The lower officials see the prince."

Wang Chengen was not polite: "General Xu, Xi'an has been lost, and the whole court has the intention of replacing Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, we want to hear how you plan." ”

"Princess, you must not replace the two adults." Xu Lang said, "The imperial court not only cannot be replaced, but also reused. ”

In the original history, the Qing troops at the turn of the 11th and 12th years of Chongzhen entered the fortress, which made the excellent situation of encircling and suppressing the peasant army take a sharp turn for the worse. Not only did Yang Sichang's plan for peace talks come to naught, but the ten-sided net strategy was also revived by the peasant army because Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were transferred to King Qin, and gradually became a broken net. Zhang Xianzhong was in the valley city for more than a year, and finally raised the anti-flag again in May of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng went to rendezvous, and after August, he was divided into two actions, so that the "Fu Bureau" went bankrupt, and the interior of the Ming Dynasty fell into the turmoil again.

Now it seems that history is repeating itself, and it is much more serious. Once Yang Sichang is replaced, not only will Li Zicheng be unable to exterminate, but the Manchu Qing in the north will also take advantage of the situation to enter the pass, and the Ming Dynasty will fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on both sides.

After listening to Xu Lang's analysis, Wang Chengen said: "Our family thinks the same way. did not hide from the general, and the people in the north of the imperial court also passed back the news, and the Tartars seemed to have the intention of invading the south. ”

"Father-in-law, I don't know what the holy will is?" Xu Lang wanted to hear what Chongzhen meant first.

Wang Chengen glanced at Xu Lang, waved his hand, and all the people serving next to him retreated. Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Our family wants to hear what General Xu has to say first, and we think that you must have come up with a countermeasure, otherwise General Xu would not have rushed to Beijing for six hundred miles every day." ”

Xu Lang got up and saluted: "Father-in-law Shengming." ”

Xu Lang told Wang Chengen the resolution of the Yulin Bay Military Committee without pulling it out, and Wang Chengen began to ponder for a long time after listening to it. Xu Lang didn't bother him, and sat quietly on the side.

Wang Chengen thought for a long time: "General Xu, there is nothing else, just to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Nanjing。。。。。。 Does General Xu have a suitable candidate? ”

Xu Lang didn't understand why Wang Chengen asked this, Nanjing mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at once, why did Wang Chengen ask himself about the candidate, how could this be decided by himself, a small Zhengsanpin general, and it would not be decided by Yulin Bay.

Xu Lang didn't know how to answer for a while: "Prince, the question of candidates should be a decision of the imperial court, how dare the lower officials say more." ”

"General Xu, there are no outsiders here. General Han will also lead your Yulin army to Xi'an, and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers will also go. When Wang Chengen said this, he suddenly snapped his fingers and began to count, "Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, Ruan Dacheng, it's difficult." ”

Xu Lang understood what Wang Chengen meant, the commander of Nanjing must not only have the ability to lead the troops, but also have a good relationship with many generals, and more importantly, he must resolutely stand with Yulin Bay, which is Wang Chengen's capital.

Xu Lang got up again and replied: "My father-in-law asked, and the lower official thinks that Shi Kefa can take on this position." ”

Wang Chengen didn't ask again, and Xu Lang didn't say anything about meeting Shi Kefa on the road.

Wang Chengen was silent for a while and changed the topic: "General Xu has worked hard, and the two nephews of our family often write to them, and they are deeply taken care of by the general in Yulin Bay. ”

"The prince is serious." Xu Lang said politely, "My father-in-law's two nephews have always been very smart and studious, and they should graduate from Yulinwan Academy and Military Academy next year." As for where to go, it is up to the father-in-law to decide. ”

"How can our family decide, it depends on the two of them to decide." Wang Chengen laughed for a while and then said, "General Xu, we have heard what you mean today. Our family will explain the current situation to the Holy Lord tomorrow, and your Yulin Army will make all preparations and obey the dispatch of the imperial court at any time. ”

Xu Lang got up and replied, "Father-in-law, rest assured, the Yulin Army will always protect the emperor and father-in-law." ”

"General Xu, please take a seat." Wang Chengen smiled and suddenly lowered his voice, "Our family has discussed with Gonggong Cao, and I want to ask the general for two things, but this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and no rumors can be leaked." ”

"Father-in-law, please speak." Xu Lang pondered Wang Chengen's meaning in his heart and replied, "My father-in-law's orders are to do my best. ”

"First." Wang Chengen said, "Can your Yulin Army or the Officer Training Corps form a military force to protect the holy car when necessary?" Don't hide it from General Xu, Gonggong Cao and our family are very uneasy about the current guards. ”

Xu Lang's heart was secretly taken aback, could it be that Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen also had the intention of moving the capital? But Xu Lang couldn't ask, so he had to agree: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the next official will arrange it immediately." ”

"There's a second thing." Wang Chengen's voice lowered, "Lord Yang said that if you go outside, you must first settle inside." But now that the rogues have not been extinguished, if the Tartars want to invade the south, then I really lack the skill of clone. We also heard that you seem to have some old friends with the king of Taomin County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can let Lushun go out, as for Dongying, can General Xu discuss it with Zheng Zhilong. When Li Zicheng is pacified, Tartar will naturally be no problem. ”

Xu Lang's heart was about to jump out, he couldn't stop doing this, but he couldn't do it either. If there is anything wrong, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen can naturally push it all away, and the charges of traitors must be carried by Yulinwan.

Xu Lang knew that even if he did this, he had to ask Wang Chengen to understand. Xu Lang regretted a little, he knew that this was the case, how good it would be to take an MP3, record all your words, and no one will be able to get rid of it at that time.

Xu Lang plucked up his courage: "The trust of my father-in-law is grateful, but this matter is too much to do, not only can the lower officials not be able to bear it, but I am afraid that my entire Yulin Bay will not be able to bear it." The lower officials dared to ask with all their might, but the holy will is like this? ”

Wang Chengen looked at Xu Lang and said slowly: "General Xu, you are a smart person, and it is not good to ask too many questions about some things. ”
