For the Donglin Party, and even the entire southeast, Gao Yihuan, a rogue, robbed the gentry's property and harmed the interests of the gentry, and was inherently at odds with them.

How much Gao Yihuan loses, or loses, is not a bad thing for them, not only to eliminate a potential threat, but also to hit He Tengjiao, a potential political opponent.

As for the Qing army really going south, there are also Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng's men and horses on the side, which is also an opportunity to weaken political opponents.

The Ming Dynasty had the Yangtze River moat, unlike the Northern Song Dynasty, where the entire central government was almost overrun by the Jin State, and the conditions were much better than when the Southern Song Dynasty was founded, so they were not too worried that the Qing army would cross the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the Donglin Party was not in a hurry for the Qing army to attack Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan resisted, which was conducive to their peace, and if they couldn't resist, they took the opportunity to remove a hidden danger for the imperial court, which was not harmful to them.

Wang Shicong and Chen Zilong came out, helpless, and left angrily.

In the painting boat, Qian Qianyi comforted Zheng Sen for a few words, and talked to Huang Shu for a while, saying that he would give Zuo Liangyu a sum of money and food, and then let people arrange a charming little lady, Huang Shu left the private room to teach the little lady to recite poetry.

The old bustard of the painting boat also said that the girls also wanted Mr. Mu Zhai to give him guidance on the poems, but Qian Qianyi waved his hand and refused.

He was already old, and he couldn't really play, which disappointed the old bustard for a while.

After Wang Shicong left the painting boat, he separated from Chen Zilong, and went around sleepless at night, thinking about what other ways to solve the current situation.

The news from southern Henan that the war was not too optimistic, and the Qing army was besieging the Wei Wu army with 200,000 people, and he was really a little worried that Gao Yihuan would not be able to withstand it.

Early the next morning, after Wang Shicong washed up, he had a pair of red eyes, ready to visit Yang Wencong, he was walking on the street, but an official sedan chair suddenly stopped beside him, the side curtain was lifted, and a person looked at him from the sedan chair, and called out: "Kunyu? ”

Wang Shicong turned his head to look, and after seeing who that person was, his face instantly burst with joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "He Duxian, when did Duxian arrive in Nanjing?" ”

He Tengjiao said: "Because of the merit of the appeasement, His Majesty named the old man to enter the cabinet." Originally, the old man was going to spend the New Year in Huguang, but he received a letter from the Korean government, so he came early. ”

Saying that, He Tengjiao glanced at Wang Shicong and lowered his voice, "That matter hasn't progressed yet?" ”

Wang Shicong was a little frustrated, He Tengjiao didn't wait for him to speak, he had already guessed that it was not ideal, so he frowned and said, "The old man knows about this." The old man will go to the cabinet first, and you will come to the old man's mansion on Taiping Street in the evening, and we will talk in detail. ”

Gao Yihuan is not a person in the Ming Dynasty system, even if he accepts Zhao'an, he will not be able to integrate into the Ming Dynasty system.

The loyalty camp in history, after returning to the Ming Dynasty, took the initiative to integrate in the early stage, was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to clear the previous sins, but it has been squeezed out by the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Another team of rogues who defected to the Ming Dynasty, the Daxi Army, took a different route from the loyal battalion, choosing to control the Ming Dynasty rather than being controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but it was also indispensable to be constrained by Ming officials, coupled with Sun Kewang's impatience, and finally ended in failure.

Let Gao Yihuan obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty like a loyal battalion, and then be suppressed by the Ming Dynasty in various ways, Gao Yihuan will definitely not do it, but now the Ming Dynasty is still very strong, and if he wants to control the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely impossible.

Now he is still a person outside the system, and he can't intervene in Nanjing at all, but he can't, but he can find someone in the system to speak for him.

Wang Shicong participated in He Tengjiao's appeasement of Gao Yihuan, and now that He Tengjiao has entered the cabinet, he naturally wants to speak for Gao Yihuan.

He heard that He Tengjiao hurried to Nanjing because he received Gao Yihuan's letter, and a glimmer of hope immediately ignited in his heart, as if he had seen a relative, he saluted and said, "Governor ~ The cabinet is busy, and I will definitely visit the cabinet next night." ”

He Tengjiao nodded, then lowered the curtain, and the sedan chair was lifted from the new and headed towards the cabinet.

The Qing army was preparing to attack southern Henan, and Gao Yihuan let people inform He Tengjiao, but He Tengjiao's attitude at first was very vacillating, and he shirked it on the grounds that he was not in Nanjing.

He Tengjiao also knew that Gao Yihuan was a hidden danger in the Ming Dynasty, and this hidden danger was appeased by him, and if something went wrong in the future, He Tengjiao would definitely suffer, so He Tengjiao was very entangled with Gao Yihuan.

On the one hand, he hopes to get help from Gao Yihuan so that he can grasp the power of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, he wants to control the risks, so as not to cause him trouble, or even implicate him and ruin his political future.

From these two considerations, He Tengjiao's thinking is very swaying.

Originally, he was also happy to see Gao Yihuan's forces suffer a certain blow, so that he could control it, but not long ago, he received a letter, but He Tengjiao was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about the New Year, so he took a boat east and rushed to Nanjing.

Gao Yihuan's letter to him is very simple, the whole is full of complaints and anger, that is, Lao Tzu is very disappointed in the Ming Dynasty, and if he doesn't give Lao Tzu reinforcements, Lao Tzu will pick on his son and do nothing, directly oppose his mother, kill into Hunan, and avoid the Tartar soldiers.

Gao Yihuan naturally couldn't really pick on him, he wrote this just to intimidate He Tengjiao.

This trick really worked, He Tengjiao burned the letter, and then rushed to Nanjing.

Helpless, the person who surrendered by himself is responsible for wiping his buttocks.

If Gao Yihuan suddenly reversed, He Tengjiao would also be finished, and he had to consider his political future to lobby for Gao Yihuan.

That night, Wang Shicong came to He Tengjiao's newly bought house in Nanjing as promised, and was introduced into the study by his subordinates to have a secret conversation with He Tengjiao.

As soon as Wang Shicong came in, he saw that He Tengjiao's complexion was also very ugly, obviously he didn't know where to eat today.

Wang Shicong explained to He Tengjiao the situation of his lobbying in the past half month, and it was summed up that Nanjing did not regard Gao Yihuan as its own person, and for the Qing army to attack Gao Yihuan, he had the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Gao Yihuan can win, and the Northern Mission can negotiate better conditions, and if he can't win, it should all be to let Gao Yihuan consume the Qing army and reduce the pressure on the Ming Dynasty.

After the two talked for a while, He Tengjiao was also at a loss for a while.

He consulted with several members of the cabinet today, and made a strong statement, but several scholars were very cold.

Seeking peace in the north and uniting with the people is a national policy formulated by several scholars, and as soon as He Tengjiao comes, he will overthrow it, isn't it a slap in the face and accuse them of making mistakes in implementing the two-year strategy?

This is not a matter of who is reasonable, but it is related to everyone's face and political future, if they change their course, they will admit that their strategy is wrong, and they will have to step down.

He Tengjiao was also at a loss in the face of such a situation, so he could only let Wang Shicong go back, but early the next morning, Wang Shicong hurriedly came to visit.

In He Tengjiao's study, Wang Shicong said: "Cabinet, I got a news this morning that the Korean Duke defeated 30,000 captives in Runing, and captured the head of the East Captive Beizi Mandahai, and the head and prisoners have arrived in Jiangbei!" ”

He Tengjiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and couldn't help but stand up, pacing around the room, and suddenly stared at Wang Shicong with a blazing gaze, "Kunyu, the old man has a way." ”
