As soon as these words came out, all the ministers who were made excited by Qu Shipa were stunned.

Originally, everyone was brewing words and sentences in their hearts, and they were ready to confess their loyalty after Qu Shiyun, this old fox walked in front of everything, making the emperor seem to be the only one who understands, everyone is a minister in the same palace, but he can't be left behind.

For a while, more than ten first- and second-grade officials stood up at the same time, knelt on the ground with tears, and shouted in their mouths: "The lord humiliates the ministers, and the lord worries about the humiliation!" The emperor's daughter's body, how can he risk his life, Weichen and others are willing to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, and the emperor and the Dongyu will never live or die, please look at the overall situation and strategize! ”

Emperor Yongli didn't listen at all, he stiffened his neck, made a head of qi and blood, and a pair of eyes, but he kept aiming at the group of people standing on the right side of the hall.

And Qu Shiyun, who was kneeling below, also looked like he was wiping tears from his eyes, and he was also secretly looking in the direction that Emperor Yongli was aiming at.

There was a mess in the palace, and if there were clear-eyed and sober people, they could find that those who spoke and spoke were all civil servants, and there was no military general.

The imperial court regulated, emphasizing literature over martial arts, and in ancient times, the left was respected, so when the court was in power, the civil ministers stood on the left side, and the military generals stood on the right side, which has always been the case.

In the military general class, standing in the first place is, of course, Li Chengdong, the Duke of Huiguo, who was summoned by the order of Emperor Yongli and specially rushed from Guangzhou.

The movement in the hall just now, Li Chengdong had a panoramic view, but he maintained the appearance of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his color remained unchanged, without saying a word, without saying a word, a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled together indifferently, and watched the play indifferently.

The generals standing behind him were mostly local generals from Liangguang and Guangzhou, and none of his soldiers and horses could match Li Chengdong, so they naturally respected him.

Only Jiao Lian, the old department of Qu Shiyun, the general soldier of Guangxi, and the Duke of Xuanguo stepped forward, stood in the center of the main hall, and said loudly to Emperor Yongli: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to kill the enemy for the emperor!" ”

The rest of the generals were like blind and deaf people, unable to see or hear, but standing still.

Qu Shiyun frowned slightly, and glanced at Emperor Yongli, just at this time, Yongli's eyes also glanced at him, and the eyes of the two touched in the air, and each saw something from each other's eyes.

Emperor Yongli's eyes were full of anger, and the stirring emotions were unobstructed.

At the beginning of Qu Shiyun's speech, he understood Qu Shiyun's intentions, after all, they have shared hardships for many years, and they understand each other's tacit understanding very well.

Qu Shiyun said it well, Jiang Hao anyway, it is a good opportunity to turn the tables, the whole country is in chaos, the Ming court can take advantage of the chaos of the Qing court, there is no time to look south, go north to conquer, there are not many people in the east, where can occupy the land of Shenzhou, which has a population of 100 times more than it, as long as it is put pressure and forced to retreat, the east will be like the Liao State back then, and return to its hometown where it should have stayed.

But if you want to conquer, you have to rely on military generals.

The soldiers of the Yongli Dynasty are in the hands of large and small warlords, the soldiers are in the hands of the generals, the Yongli is not in command, since the Zuo Liangyu of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the vices of the warlords who are self-reliant and do not respect the orders of the court can not be contained, after the Hongguang and Longwu periods, the phenomenon of military generals is more prominent, to the Yongli Dynasty, the emperor has almost no soldiers available, and the military power is in the hands of the big warlords represented by Li Chengdong, and the scattered governors such as Zhu Tengjiao are equivalent to independent kingdoms and have the power of independent emperors.

Therefore, if you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you must obtain Li Chengdong's support, after all, his military horses are the most among the generals standing in this hall, and the total number of other military towns is not as large as his family.

Qu Shiyun said so much, but it was just an attempt to arouse the hearts of the courtiers to hate the same enemy, so as to drive Li Chengdong, hoping that he could take the initiative to ask Ying, contribute to the country, and go north to attack the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Yongli was so angry, of course, he also saw Qu Shiyun's intentions and performed a play.

The problem is that Li Chengdong watched the play and was indifferent.

No wonder Emperor Yongli was angry.

Qu Shiyun used his eyes to signal Jiao Lian to stand up, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The hall slowly quieted down, and the noisy ministers also felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that it should not be a group of scholars who were clamoring for war.

People's eyes fell on Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong still cares about his eyes and nose, half-squinting, and does not move like a mountain.

Emperor Yongli was bored in his heart, more and more aggrieved, like a long-suppressed volcano, about to erupt at any time, he took a deep breath, secretly pinched his thigh, and warned himself that he must endure, endure, endure, stay calm and steady.

Li Chengdong cannot be offended.

Qu Shiyun rolled his eyes, turned around, faced in the direction of Li Chengdong, and had a smile on his face, just wanting to say a few words.

Someone spoke first.

Standing behind Li Chengdong, a sturdy military general wearing a python robe, took a step sideways, stood up, hissed his voice, and spoke like a villain.

"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded Qu Shoupu, this moment is indeed a good time to crusade against the enemy and restore my rivers and mountains." This person was Du Yonghe, the crown prince of the dynasty, the official Feng Jiang Ningbo, the general soldier of Guangzhou, and Li Chengdong's deputy general, and he only listened to him: "But the minister thinks that the Tartars are far away in the north, and what governors and ministers in Huguang are in charge, he has a strong army, and he does not need the intervention of the ministers, and if he wants to go on a northern expedition, he should take another route." ”

As soon as Du Yonghe said this, Qu Shiyun and Emperor Yongli and a group of courtiers suddenly had bright eyes, Du Yonghe was Li Chengdong's cronies, and his words represented Li Chengdong's meaning, it sounded like he was willing to send troops.

In addition, take another way, Du Yonghe is right, the situation in Huguang is very good, and there is no need for the imperial court to send troops to support.

Qu Shiyun smiled and said happily: "Jiang Ningbo is right, in this case, where should we start with troops?" ”

The courtiers exchanged their heads and ears, and they just sent troops, as for where to march, of course, they went to Jiangxi, where Jin Shengheng was fighting with the Qing soldiers, and the urgent request for help was flying like snowflakes, and it was the time to use the troops.

Du Yonghe spoke, his throat was wounded by the war, and his speech was as ugly as a crow's cry: "The minister thinks that if you want to win, you must take it step by step and gradually expand, otherwise it is a taboo in the art of war to advance alone, and it is easy to fall into a situation of no return. ”

Everyone listened attentively, and they all nodded yes, and waited for him to follow.

I saw Du Yonghe glance slightly in the direction of Li Chengdong, and then casually pretended not to look at it, turned his head, raised his head and said loudly: "So the minister suggests that troops be sent from Guangdong, take Fujian, exterminate the Zheng clan in Fujian, and then attack Nanjing from Fujian, take half of the rivers and mountains south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and then follow up!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked!

"Fujian!?" Qu Shiyun blurted out and said in surprise: "That is the territory of King Tang, and it is in the same vein as us, so you can't send troops there!" ”
