With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a two-front battle, the Manchus and Mongolia will not be able to bargain, the key is the internal instability of the Ming Dynasty, and if you are not careful, you may rekindle the war. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"They actually don't want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise Batur Huntaiji is not only the border of Chen Bing, but also the Han Eight Banners in the northeast are not the only ones making trouble there." Li Hongfei analyzed.

Batur Huntaiji looked huge, but he didn't dare to enter the customs easily, otherwise with the temperament of the Mongols, they used to sneak in, and after robbing it, it would be impossible to thunder and not rain like this time.

The situation in the Northeast is even more interesting, just a group of Han generals are making a fuss, and the real mastermind behind the scenes has disappeared, and it is obviously just a bluff.

"It's easy to solve the problem on the side of Batur Huntaiji, but it's really not good, agree to their conditions, open the mutual market, and order them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible, so that we can free up our hands and concentrate on dealing with Zhu Yousong in the northeast." Li Dingguo proposed.

At this time, if you want to continue to carry out the reform of the military system, you can only tolerate it for the time being.

Li Dingguo in the northeast can't persuade and won't persuade, so the best way is to start from Batur Huntaiji.

"Can't back down, once back down, the other party will definitely get worse, what we can give is limited, if someone really wants to make trouble, they won't care about the bottom line. In this way, let Situ Yan send someone to check first, and see what Batur Huntaiji wants to engage in such a big battle, and at the same time, Azig can't let it go, I always feel that this matter is not so simple. Li Hongfei said.

If it was as simple as a mutual market, Batur Huntaiji would not send a large army at all, and Li Hongfei and others represented the face of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they could not be too weak, even if Li Hongfei was willing to compromise, the people below might not be willing, and they might even make a big fuss about it.

And even though there are 80,000 cavalry in the northwest, the threat to the Ming Dynasty is not great, even if it really starts, Li Hongfei can gather enough troops to deal with it.

The key is still the northeast, the Manchus have not moved, in case the Ming army and Zhu Yousong go to war, the Manchu Eight Banners will take advantage of the situation to make trouble, in order to consolidate border security, the Ming Dynasty needs at least Beijing to Shengjing line, 200,000 troops, in order to have enough confidence.

Figuring out the intentions of Azig and others was very important to the Ming army.

"If you want me to say, it's really not possible, let's fight first, as long as it works well, it is not impossible to recover military power through war!" Li Dingguo said.

His meaning is obvious, Li Hongfei has nearly half of the direct troops in his hands, as long as the dissenting army is sent out to fight, the imperial court is stuck in the logistics supply, and he is not afraid that these people will not comply.

The supplies and military salaries are all in the hands of the imperial court, and if you stumble a little, those generals who lead the troops are definitely uncomfortable.

Lao Jiang in another time and space, in order to gather military power during the Anti-Japanese War, used this trick, but he didn't expect Li Dingguo to be ruthless enough, and he also thought of this trick.

"Until the end, try not to use it, let's see the situation first." Li Hongfei said.

Things haven't come to that point yet, if you can adapt it peacefully, you should try not to kill people with a borrowed knife, after all, what will be consumed in the end is still the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that Li Hongfei is too greedy to do things, he wants to complete the military reform, but he is unwilling to make any compromises, and he can't bear to consume the strength of the army, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

Just when the two of them were very troubled by the current situation, there was a guard outside the door to report: Huang Degong, who had finished entering Beijing, led people to break into Zhongnanhai.........

"What is that guy doing here? Could it be that even the emperor didn't convince him? Li Hongfei frowned.

For Huang Degong to enter the palace to face the saint, Li Hongfei didn't bother to meet him, first, in order to avoid suspicion, the province was spread by people with a heart, saying that Li Hongfei threatened Huang Degong in advance.

Li Hongfei has already "reconciled" with Zhu Youzhen, believing that the other party will make a wise choice, Huang Degong wants to face the saint, Li Hongfei not only did not stop him, but also ordered the palace guards to open the door of convenience.

Whatever you want, anyway, Li Hongfei sits firmly in Diaoyutai.

What are you going to do........ Letting Huang Degong in, there is also a sense of temptation in it.

Huang Degong only brought 500 personal guards, and the guards in the Forbidden City were all Li Hongfei's people, the two talked about something, and they couldn't hide it from Li Hongfei at all, if Zhu Youzhen wanted to make trouble, he wouldn't mind tearing his face just like that.

"Probably not, there is no news in the palace, which proves that the emperor persuaded Huang Degong, otherwise we should have gotten the news a long time ago." Li Dingguo said.

Indeed, if the two really said something that should not be said, even if it was to leave the guards aside for a secret talk, there would have been news at this time, how could they wait until Huang Degong killed Zhongnanhai before they knew the news.

"Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, look at what this old general Huang wants to do!" After Li Hongfei finished speaking, he ordered the guards to let people in.

Although Huang Degong ran over with great momentum, he still knew how to measure, and he didn't rush into the hall with a weapon like Qi Hongying did at the beginning.

His five hundred guards were arranged outside, and Huang Degong handed over his weapons and walked in alone.

"General Huang, what kind of wind is blowing you here today? I just discussed with Brother Li, and when I'm done with business, I'll pick you up and wash the dust! Li Hongfei said politely.

Although the words are polite, the meaning of the words is not polite at all.

Of course, Li Hongfei wouldn't say that he didn't want to see Huang Degong at all, but he made it very clear between the lines that he was blaming Huang Degong for disturbing the two of them to discuss business.

"Humph! What else could it be? It's just a bad spirit! Huang Degong said-for-tat.

"Okay, everyone understands people, you have something to say, if you just want to come and scold me and get angry, then please another day, I do have something important to do today, I will come to the door in person another day, and you will always scold me." Li Hongfei got straight to the point.

He had to hurry up and discuss countermeasures with Li Dingguo, and he really didn't have time to listen to Huang Degong's nagging.

"You are so thick-skinned, the old man doesn't want to waste his saliva, there is indeed something wrong with coming to you this time, and the old man has to go south tomorrow, otherwise the bunch of rabbits under his hands will have to turn the sky upside down!" Huang Degong didn't have a good airway.

Zhu Youzhen just talked a lot with him, although Huang Degong is a rough man, he is not stupid.

Although Zhu Youzhen vigorously denied the fact of Li Hongfei's mutiny, and said that all this was planned by the two of them in advance, in order to complete the reform of the law throughout the country as soon as possible.

But Huang Degong saw the clue from the first glance of entering the palace, the defensive formation and patrol route of the palace guards were not to defend against external enemies at all, but to guard the interior.

In the entire palace, apart from the members of the royal family, what is worthy of these guards?

Originally, Huang Degong planned to go crazy on the spot and rescue Zhu Youzhen from the palace, but when he thought that he only had five hundred personal soldiers in his hands, he finally suppressed this impulse.

Later, when talking with Zhu Youzhen, Huang Degong used the "tacit understanding" of the monarchs and ministers for many years to secretly express his "loyalty" to Zhu Youzhen, and asked Zhu Youzhen to pass on a "secret decree" and let him take him out of the palace, so as to order the righteous teachers of the world to go north to King Qin.

Zhu Youzhen did understand Huang Degong's "hint", and he also used the means of "hint" to tell Huang Degong: I am very good, don't make trouble, the current Ming Dynasty is mainly based on stability, and you must not use swords and soldiers.

Zhu Youzhen not only dissuaded Huang Degong, but also asked him to fully support Li Hongfei's military reform, and never take the lead in making trouble, so that the Ming Dynasty was once again in the flames of war.

With regard to the reform of the military system, both Li Hongfei and Zhu Youzhen have the same purpose, and there is no difference at all.

Huang Degong came out of the Forbidden City, he was very depressed, and he wanted to go south by boat, not to mix with the fighting methods between Li Hongfei and Zhu Youzhen.

But he hadn't gone far yet, and suddenly remembered a piece of information he had before leaving, since His Majesty didn't want to fight, then he Huang Degong should also change his court..........

"The reform of the military system of the Ministry of Defense has affected the interests of most military generals, and the old man's trip is to remind Master Li that some people are restless." Huang Degong said.

As the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army and the core figure of the "royalists," if someone really wants to reform the military system, he will definitely win over Huang Degong, a big man.

And he entered Beijing this time to face the saint because he had this chip in his hand, and he wanted to use it to persuade Zhu Youzhen.

As a result, Zhu Youzhen stood on Li Hongfei's side, without the emperor's consent, uniting the troops from all over the country to resist the military reform became a "rebellion", and Huang Degong did not want to be a "chaotic minister and thief", so he had to switch to Li Hongfei.

"Someone wants to reform the military system? Are you telling the truth? Who are they? Li Hongfei said loudly with an excited face.

Can he not get excited? I was talking about this matter with Li Dingguo just now, but I didn't have a clue, but as soon as Huang Degong came, such a powerful news broke out.

If you can follow this clue and solve the domestic troubles first, then Batur Huntaiji and the Manchu Qing will no longer be a threat.

"Uh...... Why are you so excited? Could it be that you have already been aware of this? Huang Degong was puzzled.

"It's not a secret, just now I and Brother Dingguo are discussing the reform of the military system." Li Hongfei was not hypocritical, and directly informed Huang Degong of all the inferences of the two.

Now that everyone has come to "ventilate the news", it is obvious that they don't plan to join forces with those people, inform Huang Degong of the situation, treat people with sincerity, and maybe get unexpected gains.

"It's nonsense!" However, when Huang Degong heard this, he was furious and said: "What do these people want to do? Collaboration with the enemy and traitor? It's really annoying old man! ”

"General Huang, you really don't know?" Li Dingguo pointed out.

In his opinion, since Huang Degong knew that someone wanted to take action on the reform of the military system, he would certainly not hide this kind of collusion with the enemy country.

"Do you think the old man should know? The old man swore to the two of them that if he knew that they had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and did not report it, he would be thundered by the sky and would not die well! Huang Degong swore on the spot.

Huang Degong really didn't know about this, he had been on the ship for nearly a month, and the information he learned was very limited.

And those generals who contacted him at the beginning, out of prudence, naturally it was impossible to inform Huang Degong of the entire plan, and even if the other party knew Huang Degong very well, it would be even more impossible to inform the other party of the "collaboratorship".

"Don't say it, General Huang, I believe you. Moreover, it has not yet been verified whether these people collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, so we cannot make a conclusion. I just want to know who is involved in it, so that our Ministry of Defense can also formulate a countermeasure. Li Hongfei comforted.

He felt that Huang Degong should have been used as a gun.

These people knew that Huang Degong was loyal to the royal family, and they coveted the strength of one of the other party's group armies, so they usurped Huang Degong and made him a leader in the reform of the military system.

In this way, the eyes of the imperial court will inevitably be on Huang Degong, and Huang Degong himself does not know about "collaborating with the enemy", even if Li Hongfei is capable, it is difficult to find out the clues.

Even after the matter is revealed, Huang Degong can be blamed for this crime, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Soon, Huang Degong also figured out the key, and saw him say hatefully: "The person who contacted me is Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu." But these people are very cautious, as I expected, they are all one-line contact, until the last moment, I don't know how many people there are. ”

"Since it's him! I thought that Zhu Changshu was too anxious, but I didn't expect it to be the Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang. Li Hongfei suddenly realized.

At the beginning, Situ Yan's intelligence network also found out that Zhu Changshu was in contact with Huang Degong, thinking that he was trying to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but Li Hongfei didn't pay attention to it at all, and even wished that the other party was stupid, so as to make an example of the chicken.

But now it seems that this Zhu Changshu still has two tricks, which can be seen from his persuasion of Huang Degong.

Zhu Changshu did not let Huang Degong help him get into trouble, but made a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, wanting to help Zhu Youzhen Kuang to help Sheji.

In fact, Zhu Changshu knew very well in his heart that Zhu Youzhen would not be able to come out of Beijing at all, and with Li Hongfei's energy, even if something happened, he might not be able to bargain, and the only thing he could use might be the reform of the military system.

Only by destroying the reform of the military system, separating most of the generals from Li Hongfei's interest group, and preferably breaking out into a civil war, then Zhu Changshu will have a chance to rise.

"Although I don't know how many people there are, there is a way to catch them all, as long as Master Li believes in the old man." Huang Degong said again.

"You're trying to lure the snake out of the hole?" Li Hongfei understood what Huang Degong meant.

"That's right, when the old man returns to Jiangxi, he will personally send someone to contact Zhu Changshu and convene these generals in the name of discussing the boycott of military reform, I believe that they will definitely go to the appointment, and we can serve them at that time." Huang Degong said.

Originally, he just wanted to give Li Hongfei a wake-up call, and he didn't want to attack those comrades, but since the other party dared to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and let him carry this black cauldron, General Huang was completely angry.

"You just returned from the capital, will they believe it?" Li Hongfei felt that it was inappropriate.

Anyone has to be cautious about such a major matter as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and they didn't dare to let Huang Degong know about it before, but now it's a critical moment, and no one dares to expose it easily.

"So the old man needs to find the saint, please make a secret decree of King Qin!" Huang Degong said.
