I patted my head anxiously, and suddenly remembered the third point expressed in Wu Sangui's letter, and immediately had an idea.

In fact, I put King Fu under house arrest, risking his life and pretending to be stupid, the purpose is very simple, that is, to buy time, and then get the military power, and then regain the throne without blood.

But it is impossible for this military power to be given to me directly, but I have installed a usable person next to him, and this person is Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Gongcheng is loyal to me in every way, as long as King Fu grants him the post of secretary of the military department, then it will be much easier for me to seize power.

And I asked Zheng Gongcheng to take over the post of Fuzhou General Army, in fact, I was paving the way for him to take power later.

Then, if you want Zheng Gongcheng to ascend to the position, you must let him make meritorious contributions, and at the same time, you must let the current military secretary Ma Shiying suffer defeat and be demoted, and if you want to do all this, the most critical person is Wu Sangui.

Didn't Wu Sangui say in the letter that Li Zicheng didn't trust him, then what I needed to do was to help him win his trust.

If he wants to win Li Zicheng's trust, it is actually very simple, that is, to help Li Zicheng fight the Ming army.

As long as Wu Sangui led his troops south to attack Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, Zheng Gongcheng would have the opportunity to become the secretary of the military department and grasp the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

Why do you say this, because I know that the person in charge of Suzhou and Hangzhou is Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying is not a soldier at all, and he doesn't know anything about fighting, and he will definitely lose if he fights with Wu Sangui, once he loses the battle, King Fu will definitely be held accountable and demoted, so that Zheng Chenggong can easily take the throne.

If things really go as I thought, then Wu Sangui will take Suzhou and Hangzhou and go straight to Nanjing, and Zheng Chenggong will have a heavy army, even if King Fu doesn't kill him, Wu Sangui will avenge his father and kill him.

And this has another advantage, that is, I don't have to send Chen Yuanyuan to Shanhaiguan, I can completely persuade Wu Sangui to go south to take revenge and marry a wife.

However, it is not so easy to let Li Zicheng let Wu Sangui go south, according to the historical description of Li Zicheng, he is a capricious person and will not easily trust anyone, so what I have to do now is to create an opportunity for Wu Sangui to go south.

Thinking of this, I immediately said to Zhang Zhao: "General Zhang, you hurry up and call Zheng Sen to me, I have to negotiate with him!" ”

"I'm going to do it!"

In the evening, Zheng Chenggong came and asked me what was the matter with him.

The matter is actually very simple, I want him to send troops from Fujian to attack Li Zicheng's troops in the south, once he succeeds in repelling the peasant army besieging the south, then Wu Sangui can find an excuse to go south.

If I'm not mistaken, the peasant army should have attacked Jiujiang in Jiangxi by now, and the Ming army in Jiujiang seems to be unable to hold it at all and is in dire need of support.

So I asked Zheng Chenggong about the current situation, and the result was really the same as recorded in the history books, Jiujiang guard Zuo Liangyu had asked King Fu for help many times, but no one in the court dared to go out to fight.

"Xiao Zheng, tomorrow morning, I will tell King Fu that I am willing to send troops from Fuzhou to relieve the siege of Jiujiang!"

"Your Majesty, why?"

"You don't care why, I told you to do this, of course I have a reason. Remember, in this battle, you must not only defend Jiujiang, but also beat Li Zicheng's peasant army, and the harder you fight, the better. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely complete the task!"

Although Zheng Chenggong's words were impassioned, I was still a little uneasy, after all, history records that he was best at water warfare, and he lost more than he won in land battles.

And Jiujiang guard general Zuo Liangyu, that is a rare fierce general in the Ming army, Gao Xiaosong said in "The Tragedy of the Southern Ming Dynasty", saying that Zuo Liangyu is a rare talent.

Thinking of this, I said: "Xiao Zheng, you led the troops to Jiujiang, you must cooperate well with Zuo Liangyu at one point, and there must be no disagreements." It is best to hand over the land battle directly to Zuo Liangyu, and the Yangtze River water battle will be commanded by yourself, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely win a victory! ”

"What the emperor pointed out is that the minister has already heard that General Zuo is brave in land warfare, and he must learn from him when he goes to Jiujiang this time!"

"Well, what I admire most is people like you. Alright, you go back! ”

After Zheng Chenggong left, I took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Wu Sangui for the third time, in which I talked to him about three points, the main ones are as follows:

First: Tell him the truth that I have been usurped by King Fu, and reprimand King Fu for being unscrupulous and killing his father.

Second: Tell him that if he wants to win Li Zicheng's trust, he must win on the battlefield, and I have already arranged things on the battlefield, as long as Zheng Chenggong repels the intrusive army besieging Jiujiang, he can find an excuse to send troops south.

Third: Tell him that Chen Yuanyuan is very safe, he only needs to lead his troops to the south, and he can reunite with Chen Yuanyuan and his wife, and at the same time, he can also slash King Fu and avenge the killing of his father.

Although I planned everything very well, this move was very dangerous, and it could be said that I was gambling against Wu Sangui.

Because I was worried that he would really capture Suzhou and Hangzhou at that time, and after gaining Li Zicheng's trust, he would bite me back.

In this way, even if I become emperor again, it will be difficult to hold Nanjing.

You must know that history records that after the Qing army went south to take Suzhou and Hangzhou, Nanjing fell in less than half a month. With Wu Sangui's military talent, let alone half a month, it is estimated that Nanjing will be broken in a week at most.

At the same time, Wu Sangui went south, and there were no good generals to guard Shanhaiguan, and the Qing army was likely to enter the customs, which was also what I was worried about.

But I don't have a choice now, and if I want to reset as soon as possible, I have to implement this plan.

Only this plan can regain the throne without bloodshed, and at the same time can repel the invading army.

Of course, the only thing I can control Wu Sangui now is Chen Yuanyuan's chess piece.

As for whether I should hand over Chen Yuanyuan after he goes south, I don't know now, so I can only take one step at a time.

After writing the letter, I asked Zhang Zhao to send it to Shanhaiguan immediately, but Zhang Zhao told me that there was no need to be so troublesome, saying that he had already brought back the carrier pigeon from Shanhaiguan, and he only needed to fly the pigeon to pass the book.

When I heard this, I instantly laughed, patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder and said, "General Zhang, I really didn't misunderstand you, and I finally learned to judge the situation!" ”

Zhang Zhao smiled hesitantly, and was about to leave when he was done, but was stopped by me.

"What did the emperor tell the last general to stay?"

"Tomorrow, if you pretend to be a beggar to beg in front of the Yangxin Palace, I will find an opportunity to leave you behind, and you will be able to enter and exit in the future in a bright and bright way, and you don't have to climb over the wall anymore, so it's inconvenient!"

"Emperor Xie!" With that, he left.

The reason why I want him to stay in the Yangxin Palace is not only for the convenience of access, but more importantly, I want to take advantage of the time when King Fu is watching and relaxing me to learn martial arts from him, and I don't want to suffer the loss of no martial arts anymore.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhao disguised himself as a beggar and came to the door of the Yangxin Palace to ask for food, the forbidden army guarding the door did not let him enter, I pretended to be dementia after hearing the news, and had to keep it, and finally the forbidden army had no choice but to let him into the Yangxin Palace.

I thought that learning martial arts was like writing in a novel, and it could be practiced in three or two days, but Zhang Zhao told me that I had to do it step by step, and it was impossible to achieve it overnight.

Seeing that I was angry, he scratched his head anxiously, thought about it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since you are not willing to practice basic skills, it is better to learn archery directly, archery only needs arm strength and eyesight, what do you think?" ”

Hey, I think it makes a lot of sense to hear him say that.

And buddy, my strength is really okay, plus I often used my left hand as a companion in high school, and the kung fu in my hands was quite good.

"Okay, I'll learn archery from you!"

"Your Majesty, it's archery, not archery!" He corrected.

"Oops, it's the same no matter how you call it, it's the same as the candle night in the cave room, and it's all about shooting in the end. Those who practice martial arts should not be confined to mud and small sections. ”

In this way, I followed Zhang Zhao to learn archery and horse archery, and the forbidden soldiers guarding the door thought I was playing stupidly, but in fact, I was serious, and my arm was swollen and still practicing every day.

After practicing for almost half a month, my "archery" skills, no, should have improved a lot in archery, and I have been able to hit the target within 50 meters.

That night, I was practicing archery in the back garden of Yangxin Palace, when Wang Chengen came over and told me that Zheng Chenggong had come to me and asked me to go to the study.

When I heard that Zheng Chenggong was coming, I was immediately excited, because it had been two weeks since he sent troops to Jiujiang.

If he repels the invading army of Jiujiang, then I will only have to wait for Wu Sangui's arrival in the next step.
