Wang Yan walked out of the Lu Wangfu in despair, and he didn't even notice the steps under his feet, but he actually stepped on the air, but fortunately Dai Zhifan, who came up, helped him to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"Master Hou!" Seeing the thrilling scene just now, the guards hurriedly surrounded them and greeted them urgently.

Wang Yan acted as if nothing had happened just now, ignored everyone, and walked towards the station in a trance.

Dai Zhifan and the others, seeing him walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, his back was full of loneliness, and they couldn't help but be surprised, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to silently follow behind Wang Yan, followed his obviously lost figure, and returned to the camp all the way.

When he returned to the barracks, Wang Yan just sat silently in his seat.

Wang Yan has always been the backbone of his subordinates, and he has brought hope to the desperate Yangzhou soldiers and civilians, but everyone has never seen him so lost today.

At this time, when Dai Zhifan saw this, he became worried, but he was just a martial artist, and for a while he didn't know why Wang Yan was like this, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he called a few soldiers and asked them to hurry up and invite Chen Zilong and others over.

Just when Wang Yan lost his mind, under the auspices of Ma Shiying, Zhang Bingzhen took a big ship with the banner of "Envoy to the Qing Dynasty", and rushed to Nanjing to discuss peace matters with Duoduo who had returned to the north on behalf of Lu Fan and the newly established imperial court in Hangzhou.

Ma Shiying and others, attributing Duoduo's return to the north to themselves, took a big walk in the city of Hangzhou with the news of peace, and ordered the cavalry to go out in all directions, telling the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River not to clash with the northern soldiers, so as not to affect the peace talks.

Soon after Zhang Bingzhen's departure, the matter of the imperial court wanting to negotiate peace with the Qing court spread all over Hangzhou, and the ministers in the city, such as Zuo Maodi and Huang Daozhou, overheard the news, and they were all misinformed by the people. ”

The matter of the peace negotiation, without the knowledge of the Minister of War, was confirmed by Ma Ruan's party, and when everyone reacted, it could not be changed, which immediately made people feel distressed.

Chen Zilong was invited to the camp by Dai Zhifan, and saw Wang Yan sitting there in a trance, knowing that it was because of the peace negotiation, which made Wang Yan disheartened, and then said: "The matter has come to this, why is Shiheng so bothered?" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he slowly looked at Chen Zilong with a wandering gaze, and then reacted a little slowly, and said, "It's Mr. Dazun who is here." ”

Chen Zilong and Wang Yan have a deep friendship, and seeing him coming, Wang Yan had to pull himself out of his extremely lost state and let Chen Zilong sit down to talk.

Chen Zilong knew that he didn't hear his words clearly at all, so he said casually: "Since the peace talks are a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, what is the use of Shiheng doing this?" ”

"Mr. Otaru doesn't know, but what I'm worried about is that the peace talks are a foregone conclusion, and the court and the people are true about it." Wang Yan reluctantly advanced his spirits, and sighed helplessly: "Now that the imperial court is weak, there is no reason for the Beiyu to negotiate peace, I am worried that the Beiyu is not really negotiating peace, and it is really paralyzing my monarch and ministers!" ”

When Chen Zilong heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said at the moment: "It is not unreasonable for Shiheng to be worried, the barbarians outside the Guanwai have had no faith at all since ancient times, but it is precisely because of this that Shiheng must cheer up and guard against repeated captures. ”

"I also know this, but I am tired and unable to do it, even if I am strong, the situation will not change!" The Ming Dynasty is now full of holes, but the people are still uneven inside, and Wang Yan feels helpless.

"Since Ma Fu took power, he has blindly made peace with the north, Nanjing has fallen, and His Majesty has been taken into captivity, but he still does not learn a lesson and still insists on negotiating peace, which really discourages people with lofty ideals!" Chen Zilong also sighed, but then changed his tone and said: "However, it is precisely because of the difficult situation that it is even more necessary for our ministers to work hard to deal with it!" Shiheng forgot what he said to me when he was in Nanjing? If the family and country are in danger, how can they sit idly by and watch? ”

At the beginning in Nanjing, Chen Zilong gave more than 30 chapters to the military department, asking the imperial court to guard against the northern captives and forge ahead into the land of Shandong and Henan, but because the ministers such as Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa in the court were all in peace, there was no news.

When Chen Zilong was disheartened, he resigned and went into hiding, and it was on the bank of the Qinhuai River that he met Wang Yan, and after a conversation, Chen Zilong was touched by Wang Yan, so he ran in Beijing, and contacted the minister with Zuo Maodi, and later raised troops in his hometown Songjiang to aid Yang.

It is precisely because of this experience that although Chen Zilong is far from Wang Yan's age, he has long been regarded as a confidant.

At this time, Wang Yan listened to Chen Zilong's sincere words, and he also felt something in his heart, and slowly found his original intention, and couldn't help but get up and bow to Chen Zilong: "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune!" Mr. Otaru's words made Hikoko feel deeply and should be worshipped by Hiko! ”

When Chen Zilong heard Wang Yan's words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up to hold Wang Yan's hand, and said excitedly: "Shiheng has done a good job of poetry, the family and country are in danger, we scholars and doctors, it is our duty to shirk, now Shiheng can find his heart, my heart is very relieved!" ”

The two talked about it, and finally made Wang Yan cheer up again.

Not long after, Zuo Maodi, Xia Yunyi and others came again, all of them were angry, but the monarch, the ministers, the father, the son, the order of the court, although they were dissatisfied with the matter of peace, there were criticisms, but they could not change the decision of the court, and finally had to accept the facts like Wang Yan.

As for the future, everyone discussed and formulated a strategy in Wang Yan's camp, and they all believed that preventing the northern captives from deceitful was the first priority.

Wang Yan immediately summoned Dai Zhifan in, ordered him to send scouts to monitor the army of Duoduo returning to the north, and sent Xizuo into Nanjing to inquire about the news.

Secondly, everyone thinks that the imperial court is a top priority, because the restoration of strength is the first, and since ancient times, the name is not correct, it is not good, the Hangzhou court to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty, first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem that the country cannot be without a monarch for a day.

After the collapse of the Hongguang court and the exile of the emperor, Lu Fan had become the least controversial person on the issue of succession to the throne, and according to the law of the Great Ming Wheel, he should be the emperor.

At that time, it was decided to ask the eunuchs to ascend to the pole as soon as possible, restore the imperial court's rule over the localities, obtain taxes, and train a new army to cope with future changes.

Wang Yan and others accepted the facts of the peace talks, and the next day they played the Lu Domain, asking the emperor to be placed immediately, so that the ministers and officials could have something to follow.

Ma Shiying, who was accustomed to party disputes, was already preparing to deal with the counterattack of the main war minister, but he didn't want Wang Yan and others to be entangled in the peace negotiations, but instead advised to consolidate the foundation of the imperial court.

Ma Shiying has been fighting with Donglin for more than a year, and he has long been accustomed to party fighting, so after Wang Yan entered Zhejiang, he instinctively regarded him as an opponent in the court, but he didn't expect Wang Yan to fight with him.

Wang Yan's actions made Ma Shiying secretly praise in his heart: "The national warrior is unparalleled!" But he did not show mercy to his subordinates, but took the opportunity to send Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi and others to Hangzhou, to Qianqiuling, Dusongguan, Si'an Town and other places to recruit troops to guard.
