Outside Yanshi County, the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Wu army, Hong Chengchou looked at a letter that had just been passed over, with a smug look on his face, and at the same time kept saying, "The tree is falling and scattered, I didn't expect that the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty has not completely rotted, and the following people have begun to find a way out, so it's okay, for my Daqing, the more people this kind of people are really the better, if this time, Zuo Liangyu can help us take Henan and annihilate all the remnants of Li Yan's group, Then the time for me to dominate the world will be greatly accelerated. ”

"Uncle, if this is really the case, it is very good, but the little nephew is afraid that there will be fraud in this, you know, this Zuo Liangyu is not a good character, he can go from a soldier to a warlord with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he has a good life, how can he think of coming to us now, besides, to a person like him, he will not easily stand in line until the last one, and now he suddenly comes to us to cooperate, the little nephew is always not very down-to-earth in his heart, besides, with our current situation, There is no need to meddle at all, although we don't have much food, but along the way, we still levy some food, enough for us to use for a while, as long as we can quickly capture those Yanshi counties, and then capture Luoyang City, what strength does the Shaanxi Ming army have to compete with us. Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Wu Sangui frowned and said.

"Hahahaha, virtuous nephew, what do you mean The old man understands, to be honest, for this Zuo Liangyu, the old man is also very ashamed of what others do, but you have to know what time it is, in the troubled times, everything is based on interests first, and now Zuo Liangyu wants to defect to us. Then we must actively accept him, whether he can bring us benefits or not, at least so that he will not be used by others.

Secondly, let's not talk about whether we can successfully capture Yanshi County and take Luoyang City, even if we really capture Luoyang City. Do you think those people in Shaanxi will really leave like this, they are not stupid at all, not to mention Li Yan, a very far-sighted talent, even that Shi Lei, is not an easy person to deal with, I am afraid that when the time comes, when we think we are about to win, we will be like Prince Yu Duoduo, there will be a big reversal overnight. I don't even know how it failed.

In addition, do you think the old man really agreed to him because he agreed to attack the north, wrong, what the old man really values is his current strength and his location, you know, the land of Jingxiang has been an obstacle to the south since ancient times, whether it was the Southern Expedition of the Wei Army of the Three Kingdoms. Or the southward movement of Mongolia, the land of Jingxiang is an important place to resist the north. If you want to take Jiangnan smoothly, there is still some trouble, but if you have Zuo Liangyu's refuge, it will not be a matter at all, with the support of hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, if my Qing army goes south in the future, it will be a thousand miles in a day. Most of Jiangnan knows that it is at your fingertips. Hong Chengchou said with a smile.

"But uncle, if just because of this letter, we really waited outside this Yanshi County for five days, isn't that a bit too long. If Zuo Liangyu hadn't raised troops to attack the north as agreed, wouldn't we have been killed by him. Wu Sangui still asked with some doubts.

"Don't worry, the old man is not so pedantic, we still follow the original plan and quickly take Luoyang City, as for Zuo Liangyu's side, let's leave it alone, let's not talk about whether he can take Nanyang, even if he takes it, I don't know when it will be." The reason why the old man promised him was just to let him make a break with Qianming as soon as possible. Hong Chengchou said.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's explanation, Wu Sangui nodded, and his heart calmed down, for the political aspect, Wu Sangui was still very convinced of Hong Chengchou's judgment

Just in the land of Henan, when the Hongguang court in Shaanxi Province and the army of Wu Sangui of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were happy, the fat heart of the Yongli Emperor in the city of Nanjing was also a little lonely.

Since the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang ascended the throne, he has wantonly collected beauties among the people, drank and enjoyed himself in the palace every day, and entrusted all the state affairs to Ma Shiying, who was in power, under the staff of Ruan Dacheng and others, and even more historically, began to arrest the people of the Donglin Party and the Fuxing Society. They took advantage of the opportunity to accept bribes, and even extorted money everywhere under false pretenses.

Fortunately, what is different from history is that because of Shi Lei's appearance, coupled with Lu Daqi's early departure, some of the really capable ministers were sent out in advance, so they did not receive any harm, but the ones who really received harm were like Qian Qianyi and Hou Fangyu, who were kind on the surface, but actually had a belly of male thieves and prostitutes. Another reason is that Shi Lei is very happy to see this happen, for people like Qian Qianyi, who usually fight for power and profit and engage in internal fighting, but when facing foreign enemies, he hates it very much, but unfortunately, before the shameless faces of these people are exposed, they still have considerable prestige in Shilin, so now that someone makes a move, how can he be unhappy!

It's a pity that unlike history, the original Hongguang Emperor and the current Yongli Emperor did not indulge in wine as in history, but recruited Ma Shiying and others into the palace early one morning, and said surprisingly that he wanted to go north to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Northern Expedition is really too involved, if it is rashly dispatched, I am afraid it will backfire, if it leads the Manchu Tartar army to the south, I am afraid that the country will be turbulent, and the society will not be safe! Therefore, for the Northern Expedition, please think twice before acting. Standing on the Golden Palace, Ma Shiying, who was smashed by Emperor Yongli's question, thought about it for a long time, and finally reluctantly came up with an excuse.

Hearing Ma Shiying's words, Emperor Yongli also knew that the army was not a joke, besides, if it won at that time, it would be fine, if it really failed, he, the emperor who was originally a little unjustifiable, I am afraid it would be even more difficult, therefore, he opened his mouth and said, "Ma Aiqing's words, I also know, but as the orthodox Ming Dynasty, how can I watch the Tartars full of bloody flesh occupy my splendid country, so I hope that Ma Aiqing can pay more attention to this matter, and hope that he can give me and the people of the world an explanation as soon as possible. Okay, that's all for today, I'm tired, I'll go back to the palace first. ”

Seeing that Emperor Yongli retreated to the harem with the support of the palace people, Ma Shiying's heart was very uncalm, you know, he also knows very well about Emperor Yongli Zhu Youxiang, although this person is ruthless, but he is greedy for pleasure, if it is not instigated by someone, how could he think of the Northern Expedition, it is not that Ma Shiying is unwilling to go on the Northern Expedition, he is still a little different from Qin Hui, Qin Hui is a complete surrender faction, thinking that Dajin is invincible, if I want to live, I can only survive if I try to please him, And although Ma Shiying is also greedy for power and profit, he still has the backbone of the scholar, but the backbone is the backbone, as the first auxiliary minister, he still knows the situation of the Yongli court very well.

Let's not say that the reason why the Yongli Imperial Court was able to be established was the support of the four towns in Jiangbei, if there were no four towns in Jiangbei, with Zhu Youxiang and Ma Shiying, who had no soldiers and no power, how could they smoothly drive away Lu Daqi and sit on the emperor and the first assistant, but it was precisely because of this that Ma Shiying seemed to be the first assistant, but there was not a single soldier in his hands, you said, at this time, the Yongli Emperor wanted the Northern Expedition, isn't that a joke?

Although Emperor Yongli's words were a little unrealistic, Ma Shiying, as the first assistant, still asked people to go to the four towns of Jiangbei to discuss the Northern Expedition, although he didn't have much hope, but the emperor said it, he always had to mean it, otherwise if the emperor thought that he was passive and slack, so that he was suspicious, it would be more than worth the loss.

It's a pity that Yongli Emperor Zhu Youxiang and Ma Shiying didn't expect at all that when his proposal was sent to the four towns of Jiangbei, he actually really got a response, first of all, Xingping Bo Gaojie, and responded positively to Ma Shiying, because the place where Gao Jie is located is the place bordering Xuzhou, in the face of the suppression of the Manchu Dynasty's powerful forces, Gao Jie has long been impatient to want to do it, but he also knows that he is not the opponent of the Manchu army at all, so, after Ma Shiying sent the news this time, He was positively in favour.

And the other is Jingnan Marquis Huang Degong, although Huang Degong is arrogant, but in his bones for the court, the emperor is still very loyal, so this time as soon as Ma Shiying's news reached his hands, he nodded and agreed, after all, it is also Huang Degong's wish to be able to expedition north to the Manchu Qing Tartars.

However, although Gao Jie and Huang Degong agreed, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo did not reply for a long time, of course, for these two relatively small and incompetent people, Ma Shiying also understood their concerns in his heart, since the four towns have already heard back, Ma Shiying is embarrassed in his heart.
