After Maniche's case ended, Xu Lang found Lu Tianxiang and Han Wantao alone. Among these people in the military, Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian are the closest, and they are also members of the collegial panel in Maniche's case. Xu Lang was worried that Zeng Guangxian would have any opinions on the retrial of this case, so he had a long talk with Han Wantao first, and expressed his thoughts without reservation.

Han Wantao didn't say anything, and told Xu Lang that Zeng Guangxian would not have any opinions. Because over the years, everyone has actually understood that it was indeed wrong, but no one is embarrassed to take the initiative to admit their mistakes. Han Wantao's statement made Xu Lang feel a little relieved.

Xu Lang originally wanted to ask Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Guodong to explain, although Xu Lang admired his character from the bottom of his heart since Zhang Guodong resigned as chairman of the Military Commission a few years ago, but this time Zhang Guodong was able to retry the case so happily and made a not-guilty verdict, Xu Lang was still a little worried that Zhang Guodong's heart would be unhappy, after all, he also made the guilty verdict back then.

Lu Tianxiang's reply to Xu Lang was very simple: "Zhang Guodong, I understand, and he is above board. ”

Xu Lang was relieved.

On Tsushima Island, one castle was built on the upper and lower islands, and the two castles could accommodate more than 80,000 people in total. The current work was nearing completion, with a dozen guns pointed at the beach and the sea beyond.

Tao Min used a new method of building a castle on Tsushima this time, the two cities had to be strong enough to withstand the bombardment of 24-pounder and 32-pounder guns, so rammed earth was not possible, and the best way was to cover bricks or build them with bluestone. But there was too much time, and Tao Min had to complete the construction of the two cities in August. So in the end, Tao Min came up with a way, transported a large number of iron cages from North Korea, loaded them with gravel and stacked them one by one, and then smeared mud on the outside to dry thoroughly. The thickness of the entire city wall has reached four or five meters, this method was staged by Tao Min when he watched a movie in his last life, and Tao Min himself is not very clear about whether it can be done.

It's already August, but fortunately, the project is about to be completed, and the news from the south that the fleet in Yulin Bay has not yet departed. This made Tao Min a little relieved that he could slowly strengthen the city wall.

The city on the lower island was larger than the one on the upper island, Tao Min circled around the city, held the binoculars and looked at the sea for a while, and then went down the city wall and returned to the barracks.

Tao Gong was waiting for him in the barracks: "Brother, news has come from Nanpu, Dolgon went to Nanpu and brought 10,000 banners. ”

Tao Min didn't show anything: "This is normal, Huang Taiji has his own plans." Brother, make arrangements, I will go back to Nanpu in the next few days to meet Dolgon, and there are some things I should talk to him about. ”

"Brother, what do you want to say to him?" Tao Gong asked puzzled.

"I don't know now, I'll talk about it when I see Dolgon." Tao Min smiled, "I don't know what Dolgon thinks, whether he is willing to replace Huang Taiji, listen to him first." ”

"Brother." Tao Gong handed the news sent by Nanpu to his brother, "Dolgon did not bring his positive white flag, but carried the two red flags of Daishan. ”

"Really?" Tao Min took the news and read it carefully, and smiled unconsciously, "This gives us a chance." It seems that Huang Taiji is not only worried about us, but also about him, the younger brother of Prince Rui, and I really have to talk to Dolgon. ”

"Brother, there is another news that was sent from Shengjing a few days ago, I forgot to tell you." Tao Gong remembered something again, "It seems that Huang Taiji is now organizing some direct guards, and Hao Ge and Fan Wencheng are specifically in charge, and the number is not clear." However, Huang Taiji seems to have invested in it, all cavalry and musketeers. And this guard does not belong to any banner, and only obeys the orders of Huang Taiji. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Tao Min said with a smile, "You go and prepare a boat, I will go back to Nanpu tomorrow, and I will be back in about ten days and half a month." When I was away, I hurried to strengthen the city wall, and the Yulin army couldn't come in the past half a month. ”

When Tao Min returned to Nanpu by boat, He Jiong was galloping towards Beijing on horseback.

The General Counsellor worked out a detailed plan with the Second General Affairs Division to separate Emperor Taiji and Dolgon. He Jiong first went to Beijing to personally convey this plan to Jiang Beiming, this plan is top secret, and no written anything is allowed to be taken out of Yulin Bay, so He Jiong has to convey it orally.

Xu Lang took a risk, and the people in Beijing would carry out a bitter plan. Jiang Beiming will select an absolutely reliable person to take refuge in Gao Qiqian, find a way to let Gao Qiqian contact Huang Taiji again, and make peace with Huang Taiji with the help of Gao Qiqian, and Jiang Beiming is solely responsible for the specific operation. Once there is any problem, Jiang Beiming will put all the responsibility on Gao Qiqian.

In order to be insured, Wang Hua sent special personnel to Xuanfu Town and Datong Town, and this plan also had to be known to Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang. They would use the channels of the Jin merchants to pass on the actions of Dolgon and Tao Min in Korea to Huang Taiji.

After He Jiong came out of Beijing, he would find a way to go to Nanpu to find the cobra, and only by making direct contact with the cobra could the plan be said to be half successful.

Yulin Bay is also busy. Gao Chen's plan for Dongying was approved by the Military Commission, and Keiji Yokoji and Chen Xiang of the Second General Affairs Department had already set off for Japan.

The Military Commission brought together twelve warships to form a new combined fleet, and the Pearl remained the flagship, carrying Han Wantao's first division under the leadership of Zeng Guangxian and set off to Taiwan to join Zheng Zhilong. This time, Xu Lang and Gao Chen did not go, and Leng Tianbing took Li Wenqing and followed the battleship. Lin Zhaolong and Xu Tianbin continued to recruit troops in Yulin Bay and had already sent two regiments to Vietnam.

Xu Lang walked into Zheng Jiang's office with a few documents: "Chairman Zheng, Han Wantao and Zeng Guangxian have already set off, and Li Fuqiang has also sent back news from Vietnam, and our General Staff has come up with a few plans to report to you." ”

Zheng Jiang raised his head and smiled: "Xu Lang, it's useless for you to report to me, let's go to Chairman Zhang together and listen to his opinion." ”

In Zhang Guodong's office, Xu Lang put a few documents on the table: "Two chairmen, let me talk about the situation in the north first. Now that Dorgon had gone to Nampo, North Korea's power had increased. Therefore, according to the intention of the Military Commission, Han Wantao and the others will first go to Dengzhou to assemble after joining Zheng Zhilong in Taiwan, and there is no need to take action immediately, and they will wait for news from Beijing and He Jiong before making a decision. ”

Zhang Guodong said with a smile: "We all know this, do you have any new ideas in the General Staff?" ”
