In the face of the good situation of the battle of Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen can be said to be radiant, and even when eating, he also added various meats to the dishes that were not fishy, which surprised Queen Zhou.

"Your Majesty, the concubine saw that Your Majesty has been in high spirits and happy for several days, so it must be good news from the Liaodong War, right? Why don't you talk to the concubine and make the concubine happy with His Majesty. ”

Empress Zhou poured a glass of wine for Emperor Chongzhen and said with a smile.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, due to the decline of state affairs, there are thieves and thieves running rampant inside, and there are Manchu Tartars constantly violating the border, Emperor Chongzhen is always worried about state affairs, and has been very self-disciplined and frugal in his own life. Not to mention the brocade clothes and jade food, even meat is very rare, and fine wine and singing and dancing are extinct in the palace.

But today, Emperor Chongzhen not only opened meat at Queen Zhou's place, but also drank wine, which surprised Queen Zhou. Even the eunuchs and palace maids who served Emperor Chongzhen around kept looking this way, as if they had discovered something new.

Emperor Chongzhen took a glass of wine and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Yes, Liu Yunwei, the Liao Governor and the Broken Army, sent good news, and the Liao army fought a series of bloody battles on the front line of the Liao River and the southern Liaoning generation, annihilating the main force of the Qing army in one fell swoop, and more than 500,000 Tartars were wiped out!" Even the slave chieftain Taiji and the Manchu princes such as Daishan, Haoge, Duoduo, and Zierharang were all beheaded by my Ming soldiers, which can be described as an unprecedented victory! Now that Pojun Bo has led his army north, preparing to recover Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, it won't be long before the Manchu Tartars will be completely wiped out! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was so excited that he slapped the table several times, and his whole face was red with excitement, as if he was drunk.

And Queen Zhou took a few steps back, tidied up her clothes a little, and then fell to the ground with a big bow, and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids also hurriedly knelt down when they saw this.

I saw Queen Zhou say with tears in her eyes: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on pacifying the Tartars and recovering Liaodong!" Over the years, His Majesty's hard work has not been in vain, and Da Ming will definitely be in the hands of His Majesty to regain the Weijia Sea! ”

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids also cried when they saw this, and they felt sincerely happy for the Ming Emperor in front of them.

Emperor Chongzhen was also moved when he saw this, and stepped forward to help Queen Zhou up, thinking that since he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and he and his wife have not slept well for a day, and a big stone in his heart has finally landed today.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered the past, and couldn't help but hug and cry with Queen Zhou, and then looked at each other and smiled, and the laughter was full of expectations for the future.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was jubilant, the Ming court was also running at high speed. After Emperor Chongzhen issued a full support for the Liao army to continue to fight in the north, the entire Ming court broke out with unprecedented efficiency.

Under the coordination of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, the Ministry of War not only transported all the troops that could be mobilized in Beizhili and the surrounding provinces, but also transported the urgently needed troops to Shanhaiguan along the official road. Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, then organized manpower to transport all these troops out of the customs together with Zu Dashou and Man Gui, and transported them to the Haizhou Acropolis, which had become a huge camp.

At the same time, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also raised money and grain everywhere, almost hollowed out the entire military department, and shipped all the money and grain raised to Shanhaiguan together with the money and grain raised by the household department.

At this time, in the face of the successive victories in the Liaodong War, and in the face of Liu Yunwei, who had outstanding achievements and high prestige, Chen Xinjia, as the secretary of the military department, already knew how to make a trade-off.

"As long as the Liaodong War is won, I, the secretary of the military department, will definitely be able to share the credit, and with these merits, it is a sure thing to enter the cabinet in the future! So I must do my best to support the Liaodong War and achieve greater results! We must no longer mix with the Donglin Party as before! ”

With such a thought, Chen Xinjia began to be busy day and night, desperately providing all kinds of support for the Liaodong front, and even sent someone to send a handwritten letter to Liu Yunwei, asking if the front-line army still needed any materials, and he would definitely provide them with all his might, which made Liu Yunwei feel flattered.

When he was busy, Chen Xinjia couldn't help but have some doubts: Why didn't Zhou Gelao and those Donglin Party officials make any delays during this time? On the contrary, it fully cooperated with the Liaodong War and provided support for the front-line soldiers? This doesn't make sense! Could it be that the Donglin Party has changed sex?

In fact, Chen Xinjia was also from the Donglin Party, but in the face of great changes in the political situation of the DPRK, he consciously drew a clear line with the Donglin Party, and was ready to get closer to the Wuxun Group led by Liu Yunwei to lay the foundation for his future future.

Just when Chen Xinjia was busy, Zhou Yanru was not idle. While dispatching all parties in the imperial court, Zhou Yanru also kept secretly summoning the backbone officials of the Donglin Party to spy at his home, and strictly ordered these Donglin backbones to make every effort to protect the war in Liaodong and never make any small moves!

Regarding Zhou Yanru's approach, not only Chen Xinjia couldn't see through it, but even the monks who were the backbone officials of the Donglin Party who were found by Zhou Yanru were the second Zhang, and looked at the cabinet leader and Donglin Party leader with a blank face.

Zhou Yanru looked at the dazed Donglin Party officials, with an unfathomable look on his face, and said lightly: "Since the good news from Liaodong, the old man has been thinking behind closed doors about how to deal with the increasingly powerful Wuxun Group in the future. The hard work pays off, the old man finally figured it out! ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zhou Yanru smiled and said, "Push the boat down the river!" ”

The crowd was still puzzled and asked, "What is a boat that goes along the water?" ”

"Do you remember what happened to the Civil Fort?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the change of Tumubao was a turning point in the dynasty! The martial arts group in the court was almost wiped out in the Tumubao Change, and since then the government of the Ming Dynasty has been completely controlled by the civil official group, and the situation of the noble and military has been formed in the Ming Dynasty, which has completely changed the political situation of the Ming Dynasty for nearly two hundred years, and has affected it so far!

It's just that what does the change in Tumubao have anything to do with the current political situation?

Everyone is still ignorant of this.

Zhou Yanru saw that everyone still didn't understand what he meant, but he was not anxious, but continued: "The old man thinks, then Liu Yunwei wants to pacify the Manchu Qing Dynasty and completely recover the entire Liaodong, so then push the boat to help him!" But what about after the fall of the Manchus? You must know that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was strong, the Mongol tribes and Korea were all its vassals, that is, accomplices! Now that the Manchus are dead, how can Mongolia and Korea be innocent? At that time, the old man still needs your help, and the Manchu Dynasty will recommend His Majesty by civil and military force, so that Liu Yunwei can lead the tired army to Mongolia and Korea, and continue to fight the war! ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands!

After hundreds of thousands of Hanwei troops and soldiers of the Dangkou battalion fought bloodily to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty and recover the entire Liaodong, how many soldiers and horses can be left? At that time, the army of Liao will definitely suffer heavy casualties and lack of people and horses!

At this time, the army of Liao was ordered to continue to march on the Mongolian steppe in two ways, as well as three thousand miles to Korea, and the Hanwei army and the Dangkou camp under Liu Yunwei will definitely experience a series of bloody battles again, and how many soldiers and horses will survive at that time? Seeing that the Wuxun Group will rise again, it will surely be completely destroyed!

As for the victory or defeat of the battle between Mongolia and Korea, whether the Ming Dynasty can still support the two big wars, and whether it can afford the defeat of Tumubao, these questions are no longer what Zhou Yanru and those Donglin Party officials want to consider, because in their hearts, party struggle is the first priority, and no one will worry about whether the Ming Dynasty will die because of this!

After Zhou Yanru deployed his plan properly, the entire Donglin Party officials were tacitly busy, and it seemed that everyone had put down the party struggle and turned to fight for the Ming Dynasty, even Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia were confused, and even rejoiced in it.

Haizhou Acropolis.

Liu Yunwei led the army of soldiers stationed here for more than ten days, during this time, the money and grain raised by the imperial court gradually gathered over, coupled with the money and grain raised by Liu Yunwei from Zheng Zhilong, the grain and grass of the entire army of Liao have been very sufficient, and the money and grain in the army can fully support the soldiers to continue to fight for more than three months!

During the period when the army was resting in the Acropolis of Haizhou, Liu Yunwei was not idle, but ordered Yuan Mingxuan to actively explore the movements of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not only in the direction of Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, but even Hetuala's side sent a large number of night guards and spies. Obviously, Liu Yunwei has made up his mind not to give the Manchus any chance to survive!

However, in the face of such a good situation, Liu Yunwei is still a little worried in his heart.

After Cheng Shiyong, who had gone to Beijing to report the victory, he reported a puzzling news to Liu Yunwei: Under the leadership of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, the Donglin Party in the DPRK and China was fully cooperating with the war in Liaodong, and even worked harder than Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department.

Such a situation made Liu Yunwei, who had never had a good impression of the Donglin Party, feel a little worried. After all, what kind of face the Donglin Party is, Liu Yunwei couldn't be clearer in his heart, those loyal and traitorous Donglin Party officials would never do this, they would already be God's eyes open if they didn't come to drag their feet, how could they do their best to help themselves destroy the Manchu Dynasty?

The more Liu Yunwei thought about it, the more worried he became, so he discussed with Yuan Mingxuan for a long time, but the two of them never guessed what the purpose of the Donglin Party was. So, Liu Yunwei found Cheng Shiyong and ordered him to bring his capable subordinates and go to Beijing again to secretly investigate and see if there was any conspiracy of the Donglin Party.

After receiving the order, Cheng Shiyong took people away on the same day, and the group was all in civilian clothes, looking like a perennial horse team, very inconspicuous.

After leaving the Acropolis of Haizhou, Cheng Shiyong and his entourage went straight to Shanhaiguan and arrived at Beijing in only ten days.
