"What should I do?" After Hao Shaoqi left, Chen Yue immediately discussed countermeasures with his father Chen Jianghe and Shan Minglei.

"Absolutely not to Shanhaiguan!" Chen Jianghe was in charge of Chongzhen's security work, and he had to meet Chongzhen every day, knowing how desperate Chongzhen was to leave Beijing and go south.

"It's okay to go to Shanhaiguan." Shan Minglei groaned and said slowly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Jianghe changed color suddenly, "Shanhaiguan is a land of tigers and wolves, there are full of tartars outside and thieves inside, how can we escape again?" Are you really going to surrender to the thief? ”

"Don't worry, boss, I think so, Shanhaiguan Wu Sangui and Gao Di have more than 40,000 troops, and we and Tang Tong have 10,000 people, adding up to 50,000 troops, if you can control these 50,000 people in your hands, is it enough to confront the Shun army?"

Shan Minglei's eyes lit up with excitement: "If you are surprised, you may be able to break through the army and recapture the Beijing Division." At that time, Lord Zhongcheng will become a hero who can turn the tide and set the Ming Dynasty, and he will be able to go down in history and live forever! ”

Chen Jianghe's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect Shan Minglei to say such words, if he can really be like Shan Minglei said, his father and son can really become heroes who are comparable to the King of Zhongshan! A heart couldn't help but thump.

"Brother Shi Jian's words are certainly wonderful, but it's a pity that they are not operational." Chen Yue shook his head and smiled. I didn't expect Shan Minglei to have such a naïve idea.

"How is it not operational? Tang Tong is your old acquaintance, and he has a good relationship with adults, so he can persuade him to be fine. Shan Minglei said urgently.

"Tang Tong is a capricious person, and it is too difficult to convince him with this little friendship I have with him. Such people are not enough to make great things together, and maybe they will betray us if they promise to turn around in person. Chen Yue shook his head and said.

Heavy troops defend Juyong Pass, but let the army enter the pass without firing an arrow, such a person has a little loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and wants him to raise troops anyway, which is no less than seeking skin with the tiger.

"No, if you can't, kill him and his army!" Shan Minglei gritted his teeth and said, "With the strength of our Xishan Army, it should be no problem to annex them." ”

"Well, it's not difficult to solve Tang Tong's eight thousand people. But what about Wu Sangui? He has tens of thousands of troops under his command! Chen Jianghe also calmed down.

"Wu Sangui is better, because he will take the initiative to do it anyway!" Shan Minglei smiled slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Presumably, the two adults heard that the thieves were doing something in the city to recover stolen goods and salaries, and almost all the ministers of the noble clan were arrested by them and tortured to recover the silver.

I heard that Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang was also arrested, and even Wu Sangui's concubine who stayed in Beijing was occupied by Liu Zongmin. If the family property and parents can't be preserved, how can Wu Sangui be willing to surrender to the thief? ”

I have to say that what Shan Minglei said is very reasonable, at least Chen Yue knows that in another time and space, Wu Sangui did not surrender Dashun in the end, whether it was to be angry with the crown or to have other thoughts, anyway, he did not surrender Li Zicheng, but opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and surrendered to the Manchu Qing.

This time and space has its own, can it be said that Wu Sangui will not descend to the Manchu Qing and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Chen Yue shook his head, it's hard! A warlord like Wu Sangui only thinks about interests, and the Ming Dynasty is already in the twilight of the sunset, how could he make such a choice?

"Wu Sangui may not vote for Dashun because of being raided, but he may not necessarily be loyal to Daming." Chen Yue said.

"If he doesn't vote for Daming, where can he go? Surrender the Manchurian Tartars outside the pass? Shan Minglei asked.

"Why not? You must know that his uncle Zu Dashou has surrendered to Manchuria, and I don't know how many generals of the Guanning army have surrendered to Manchu, why can't he defect to Manchuria? Chen Yue frowned.

"Maybe you're right, but don't forget, you have a big chip in our hands, and Wu Sangui will definitely be tempted!" Shan Minglei smiled smugly.

"What chips?" Chen Yueqi said.

"Hehe, my lord, why do you want to hide it from me now. O Emperor! Shan Minglei said with a smile.

"Ahh Chen Jianghe almost jumped up, Chongzhen's identity is currently known to the father and son, how Shan Minglei actually knows!

"Don't be surprised, my lord, as the commander of the Xishan Army, if I don't even know that there is an important person in the camp, how can I be competent? Thinking of your lordship, you entered the imperial city without permission when you were in Daming Gate and brought out the two of you, if I don't know his identity anymore, it will be too reckless. Shan Minglei said.

Chen Yue and Chen Jianghe glanced at each other, and could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. There are two more people in the camp, and they are the objects of key protection, and it is impossible to keep it hidden.

"Since the emperor is in our army, if the emperor personally promises Wu Sangui a big reward, and he will be crowned a marquis, how can Wu Sangui not be moved. Even if he voted for the Manchu Dynasty, he was still an outsider, and the Manchu Dynasty was the world of the Manchus after all. On the contrary, it is different for Emperor Fubao, once he succeeds, he can be a hereditary nobleman, and his Wu family can coexist with Ming, how can he not be moved by such wealth? ”

Shan Minglei talked eloquently, telling the Chen family father and son about the benefits of Wu Sangui's support for Chongzhen, and even Chen Yue couldn't refute it. After all, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was strong, in the eyes of most Ming people, it was just a small tribe with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it did not have the strength to occupy the Ming Dynasty at all, and it was a foreign race. At present, Chongzhen is still here, as long as Chongzhen is protected, it is a great achievement, even if he can't capture Beijing, as long as he keeps Chongzhen to the south, he will definitely be a great minister. Now the Ming Dynasty controls the territory of ten provinces, and they are all rich southern lands, even with the strength of the Dashun army, they don't want to destroy the Ming easily!

In Chen Yue's heart, it was another thought. In the original time and space, Wu Sangui first fought against the Great Shun Army, and then the Manchu Qing suddenly rushed out of the sneak attack, which defeated the Shun Army. If he can move Wu Sangui and make him not surrender to the Manchus, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for the Manchus to easily defeat Dashun. Then taking advantage of the see-saw between the two sides of Shunqing in the north, he and Wu Sangui returned to the south with Chongzhen, with Chongzhen there, there would be no chaos in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it took a period of time to rectify, with the wealth of the south, there was no problem in training hundreds of thousands of troops. Although it may not be possible to defeat the Shun army and the Manchu Tartars, at least there is no problem in keeping half of the country!

At this moment, Chen Yue was extremely moved. Even Chen Jianghe showed a look of eagerness.

"But this matter is too big, I need to ask Your Majesty!" Chen Yue sighed. Who knows what Chongzhen thinks, whether he is willing to go to the risk to convince Wu Sangui, or is he bent on fleeing to the south to be his emperor?

"Go to Shanhaiguan! I want to go to see Wu Sangui in person, I don't believe it, my Ming army will surrender thieves! Chongzhen said with an extremely firm expression, "Beijing has fallen, and my queen and princes have been killed, what face do I have to go to Nanjing?" ”

In Chongzhen's heart, the loss of the capital is a great shame, and in his sleep, he often dreams of the queen who hanged himself, and his daughter Princess Zhaoren, who was killed by his own hands, which made him not suffer for a day. Now there is a chance to retake Beijing and defeat the thieves, even if the hope is slim, he is willing to try!
