All four were shocked.

Of course, Cheng Fang didn't say this on purpose, putting gold on his owner's face, and preparing for Yusheng's early preparation was certainly not without reason and reason, but these reasons were said to be shocking.

I'm afraid that even Wang Huazhen himself can't say where the defeat of Quang Ninh was.

Zhang Han's words, even many civil officials in the temple couldn't think of it at all, and even couldn't understand it when they heard it.

Many civilian officials are completely taken for granted about the war, the so-called invincibility of the benevolent and righteous division is an argument, the so-called internal political and external revenge against the Tartars is another way of saying, more is a civilian official like Wang Huazhen, the so-called slave cavalry has 60,000, I also have 60,000, and many of the captives are bannermen, and I am actually more than 60,000, but almost all of them are soldiers.

All previous fiascos, from Yuan Yingtai to Wang Huazhen, are all failures of this idealized product.

Until now, it has changed again, the so-called Jurchen is invincible, on the one hand, it is Jianyu's own intention to promote, on the other hand, the Ming side has lost confidence and confidence, and many people have gone from one extreme to another.

What is shocking about Zhang Han is that his perspective is not from the tactical point of view, but from Wang Huazhen's overall strategy, he clearly found the reason for the defeat, and firmly believed in his own assertions, and made preparations in advance.

Even Sun Chengzong's mentality at this time is extremely complicated.

Zhang Han has no reputation, although he is a scholar, after all, he is also a martial artist and a businessman, such an identity is a naturally vulgar and unrighteous person in the eyes of civil officials, as a result, Zhang Han obviously crushed most of the civil officials in a strategic vision, in fact, even Sun Chengzong half a year ago did not expect Guangning to lose so badly!

The room was silent, but Cheng Fang continued: "Our proprietor said that he is a guard commander of Datong Town, if it is not for the business here in Liao Town, he can't do more of these things, and of course it is the matter of the imperial court to go down, we can stick to it and wait for help, and we can also use Heyusheng's chariots and horses to use military funds to the Thirteen Mountains, but the imperial court needs to pay silver taels, everything is done according to the rules, and this is what Yusheng can do in the Thirteen Mountains." ”

The staff member who had just spoken was very dissatisfied when he heard this: "What do you Zhang Dongzhu think of yourself, without him, Zhang Butcher, we will eat hairy pigs?" ”

Cheng Fang smiled and said: "Mr. Rongyu, I only know that if the Thirteen Mountains were not for the arrangement of my proprietor, I would have run out of food now, and I could only risk breaking through, or civil strife, and now the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians are still there, does Mr. only regard my proprietor as a mere butcher?" ”

"Okay," Sun Chengzong said with a calm face: "You go down first, you are all righteous people, but you must not be arrogant, otherwise you will be mistaken." Moreover, it is true that there is a court for the next war and the great plan, and if you can continue to provide information, or fight with the captive cavalry, it is the best. ”

Cheng Fang bowed and said: "Don't worry, Lord Pavilion, we have been training strong men, and there are many archers, and after we return from Ningyuan, we will take strong men to fight with the captives and cavalry approaching the Thirteen Mountains, so as to cooperate with the army when the imperial army goes out." ”

Sun Chengzong said with some surprise: "What, you still want to go back?" ”

"Naturally, I want to go back." Cheng Fang said: "The mountains are still waiting for us to bring back the message here, if we don't return, won't it disappoint the people in the mountains." ”

Sun Chengzong only glanced at Cheng Fang deeply at this time, and behind him were Yang Yi, Zhou Qing and others, each with a calm look on their faces, obviously they were all going back to the Thirteen Mountains with Cheng Fang.

"Come!" Sun Chengzong said: "Prepare cow wine for me, and make food for these righteous people!" ”

……

After Cheng Fang and the others received the silver given by Sun Chengzong, full of beef and spirits, but still left with a clear mind, Sun Chengzong changed into an azure robe in the study, removed the black gauze hat, and replaced it with a pure yang scarf, his robe was very chic and leisurely, but the expression on his face was a little dignified, he said to Mao Yuanyi, who had been waiting for a long time: "Zhisheng, this Zhang Han is not ordinary, I regret it a little now, I should insist on going to Xuanda to have a look." ”

Mao Yuanyi said with a complicated face: "I have seen some of Zhang Han's subordinates, all of them are the same as the Cheng Fang just now, they are all very shrewd and capable, how did this person recruit these people under his hands." ”

"That's not what I said," Sun Chengzong said, "I should ask, how did this person train some ordinary people to be like this?" ”

Seeing Mao Yuanyi's puzzled eyes, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "That Li Guobin was originally just an ordinary broker, specializing in running under the Xungui Sect, dealing with big merchants, and earning some hard-earned silver, what do you think of him now?" In the officialdom of the capital division, thousands of civil officials, as well as nobles, eunuchs, and military ministers, he can recognize at least seven or eight out of ten, or seven or eight out of ten people can recognize him and know him. This is a great connection, Zhang Han was able to successfully pass the impeachment pass this time, and Li Guobin appealed in Beijing, and his contribution was not small. ”

Mao Yuanyi said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it was Wang Xinyi's performance that caused an accident. ”

He wondered again: "Wang Xinyi is a very shrewd person, how could he make such a mistake?" I heard that Yang Dahong was very annoyed, so he might not be able to do so. ”

When it came to these things in the capital, Sun Chengzong frowned.

Now the Donglin Party and the eunuch party have become the general trend of fighting each other, since Wanli, the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more irrelevant to the dispute in government affairs, just like Xu Jiedou Yan Song, the main reason is that the political ideas of the two are different, Zhang Juzheng is fighting high arch, but also because of the great difference between the high arch and the high arch in the concept of governance.

The current party struggle is no longer a struggle between Zhang Juzheng and a politician of Gao Gong's level, but a thorough party struggle.

Although Sun Chengzong did not want to admit it, this is the fact in front of him.

"I can only hope that they will be more restrained." Sun Chengzong said helplessly.

"Wei Eunuch, it is estimated that this time they will take the initiative." Mao Yuanyi said: "We are here in Liaozhen, but we have avoided the center of the whirlpool." ”

Sun Chengzong also thought so, but that is, Mao Yuanyi's relationship with him could say so face to face, and he would nod lightly in agreement.

"Wait a minute, play it for me." Sun Chengzong said with a calm attitude: "Explain to the emperor that you don't need to use troops now, and when you gather the convoy and army in the spring of next year, the Thirteen Mountains will also send troops, and what you have to do at that time is just to open up the grain road, as long as you send tens of thousands of stone grain on the mountain, it is an effective containment of the eastern captives, and the so-called Liao people guard the Liao land, but that's it." ”

Mao Yuanyi nodded silently, turned around and was about to leave, at this time Sun Chengzong sighed, and continued: "Zhisheng also has to write down the merits of He Yusheng, and at the same time point out that the imperial court needs to spend silver taels to hire his unique cart, although Zhang Han I can't see through it, and I feel a little dangerous, but he is really here to do things for the country......"

Mao Yuanyi's feelings are very complicated, Zhang Han got rid of the crisis of impeachment, Mao Yuanyi is also equivalent to getting out of this matter, and at this time, Sun Chengzong said in the fold and Yusheng's work, which is even better news for Mao Yuanyi, even if there is a repeat in the future, as long as there is Sun Chengzong's letter, Mao Yuanyi will not be too implicated, his mood is complicated is that he feels that Zhang Han is too powerful, I don't know how far this person will go in the future, with this complicated mood, Mao Yuanyi returned to his residence and asked the scholar to study ink and light the lamp, Begin to write this very important letter.

……

It was already the fifth day since Zhang Han arrived in Beijing.

In the past few days, he has checked the business of Jingshi, and met with some large merchants with enough weight, and also invited some officials of the Ministry of Industry, and Yusheng's pig iron supply to the Ministry of Industry is a great benefit, the territory of Fujian Iron has been robbed, and some Fujian officials are dissatisfied, fortunately, their strength is not strong, and they are not united, Zhang Han also visited some important Fujian officials this time, sent some Yi Jin, and invited them to a banquet in several large restaurants in the city, which can be regarded as calming down this small dissatisfaction.

The iron used by the Ministry of Industry is a hard brand, it may be good for ordinary people as long as it looks good, for merchants, Lingqiu and Yusheng pig iron can be quickly marketed in the north, mainly because of the share of Fujian iron, which is not good news for those iron yards in Fujian, they have lost a considerable market, but these Fujian iron merchants have no way to speak of, some Fujian iron merchants have come to Beijing to inquire about this matter, knowing Zhang Han's energy and background, they can only shake their heads and give up.

When waiting, people feel anxious, especially I don't know the movement of the Beiyu, and Yusheng's Tang Ma Chuanqi is to send a new Tang report every day, but there is not much information on the grassland, mainly there is trouble in transmitting, but there are more situations on the east and west roads, but under the separate auspices of Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, the situation of these two roads is getting smoother and smoother, and the periphery is almost cleared, and the most concerned is Jiningbao, but it is the place where the news is the most unsmooth.

On the fourth day, Zhang Han learned a news that made him a little surprised, Ma Chengen played on his own request to move the town, after the impeachment turmoil, although Zhang Han cleared a lot of charges, but the court also knew his energy and strength in Xuanda, Ma Chengen and Zheng Guochang also had no way to get rid of the image of Zhang Han's allies, Ma Chengen asked to transfer the town, which definitely made the court a lot less embarrassed, and it didn't take too much brains to solve the trouble that had to be solved.

Ma Chengen was transferred to Yansui, he was allowed to take away his inner ding and a considerable number of border army subordinates, and he could also take away his own direct generals, which is also the practice of the Ming Dynasty, in the Jiajing years, there was a general army transfer town, directly brought five thousand inner ding to take office, Ma Chengen may take away two or three thousand elites, which is a loss for Datong Town, but Du Wenhuan, who was transferred from Yansui, will fill the vacancy, and will not have much impact on the defense of Datong.
