"Mr. Xu, Jin Hong, Li Yan, there are only three of you left in the staff group now, Wen Kun went to Shaanxi, Mr. Sun died of illness, I am really a little uncomfortable, I consider letting Xu Jikuang enter the staff group, I don't know what you think."

Zheng Xunrui put forward this suggestion, it is indeed very bold, the Donglin Party members who were almost on the verge of dying, because of special opportunities, began to prosper again, and their forces are ready to move, thinking about the development of the south Zhili and Zhejiang, after all, this is their old nest, such a critical moment, Zheng Xunrui let Xu Jikuang enter the staff group, it does take courage.

After all, Xu Jikuang is a disciple of Huang Daozhou, a former member of the Donglin Party, although he said that after following Zheng Xunrui's side, he was loyal, but after all, he had such a past, not that Xu Jikuang would take refuge in the Donglin Party, but he was worried that Xu Jikuang would not bear to start when facing the Donglin Party.

Xu Wanghua pondered for a moment and spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates think it is a wise move to let Xu Jikuang enter the staff group."

The latter words, Xu Wanghua does not need to say it, all along, Zheng Xunrui has been merciful to the Donglin Party, never took the initiative to kill a Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party people among the people of insight, but also take the means of wooing, which has won the respect of many scholars, and now seeing that the Donglin Party's power in the north is gradually becoming stronger, Zheng Xunrui regardless of the previous suspicions, reusing Xu Jikuang, will undoubtedly produce huge waves among the Donglin Party.

Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan also nodded in agreement, and they both understood Zheng Xunrui's intentions.

"Okay, I will recommend Xu Jikuang to be the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department and enter the staff group."

After speaking, Zheng Xunrui stood up and walked to the table.

Three maps were spread out on the table. They are the routes of the march and attack of the Houjin Tartars of Liaoxi, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, as well as the current situation.

Zheng Xunrui turned out the map of Liaoxi and put it on the top.

According to the information obtained from the capital, the emperor and the imperial court decided to focus on Liaoxi, intending to first defeat or drive away the Houjin Tartars in Liaoxi, as for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The imperial court has not had enough energy to deal with it, the decision made by the imperial court, we have discussed it many times, and the outcome is also two aspects, one is that the imperial army has taken the initiative in the battle in western Liaoning, and Huang Taiji has taken the initiative to evacuate, so that the imperial court can concentrate its main energy on dealing with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the second is that the imperial army failed in the battle in western Liaoning, so the Ming Dynasty will fall into complete chaos. There is a complete chaos in the north, and it will spread to the south. ”

"Under such circumstances, what should Zheng Jiajun do, and what is the opinion of the staff committee."

After Zheng Xunrui asked, it was Xu Wanghua who spoke first.

"My lord, the staff committee has discussed and analyzed, and believes that at the critical moment, the Zheng family army still needs to send troops. However, there are conditions for sending troops, that is, Zheng Jiajun completely controls Shandong, Jiangxi and Fujian. The power extended to the whole south, and in these places, the Zheng army had the right to disband the local guard army, and all its defense was taken care of by the Zheng army......"

When Xu Wanghua spoke, Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan, and their faces were calm.

Such a scenario. Zheng Xunrui was very emotional, he could almost conclude that the campaign of the imperial army in Liaoxi would definitely end in failure, and you must know that it was Huang Taiji who led the Houjin Tatars to fight in Liaoxi. There is no doubt about its bravery and wisdom, as far as the talents of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, no one can compare with Huang Taiji.

What makes Zheng Xunrui curious is whether history will reappear in western Liaoning according to the original pace, that is, whether the crown prince Taibao, the military department Shangshu, and the governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou, will surrender to Huang Taiji after the defeat, so that the late Sun Chengzong worked hard to create the Guanningjin defense line in western Liaoning will be completely destroyed.

The suggestion put forward by Xu Wanghua on behalf of the General Staff Committee was to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Once the imperial army is defeated in Liaoxi, the situation will be completely out of control, whether it is the emperor or the cabinet, they are unable to deal with the chaotic situation, the same is true in history, after the defeat of the Battle of Songshan, the imperial court has been unable to deal with the Liukou, resulting in Li Zicheng finally breaking through the capital, Zhu Youzhen committed suicide in the coal mountain, and the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

However, Zheng Xunrui's crossing has led to a change in history, Zheng Jiajun stood in the Ming Dynasty's Nanzhili, Shanxi and Shandong and other places, firmly controlled many places, and had the absolute strength to exterminate the Liukou and defeat the Houjin Tartars.

What Zheng Xunrui needs to consider is how to truly control the regime and the world.

From this point of view, Xu Wanghua's suggestion is very good, but the stubborn Zhu Youzhen is very likely not to agree to this condition, and he will not retreat to the death, and he will watch the Ming Dynasty fall.

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and other places have been in the actual control of Zheng Jiajun, and strategic places such as Dengzhou, Laizhou, Jinzhou and Fuzhou in Shandong have also been completely controlled by Zheng Jiajun, as for the vast places in the south, including Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, the troops are extremely weak, Zheng Jiajun wants to take these places, it is not particularly difficult, Henan, Shanxi in the north and Huguang and Sichuan in the central part of the country, there are many wars, Zheng Jiajun prematurely intervenes in these places, it is not necessarily a good thing, At that time, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the soldiers of the Zheng family are desperately fighting, and the emperor and the court are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so at this time, it is not appropriate for us to propose to completely control Shandong and Jiangxi. ”

Zheng Xunrui had just finished speaking, and Xu Wanghua spoke again.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that it is completely necessary, Zheng Jiajun must expand to many places in the south and north, losing this opportunity, I am afraid that the situation will become more complicated in the future, as for how the emperor and the court think, and how to do it, the subordinates did not think so much, when the subordinates feel that the situation is out of control, Zheng Jiajun can take the initiative to attack, and when the Zheng Jiajun controls Jiangxi and Fujian, the imperial court has no way."

Xu Wanghua said very bluntly, and he had the practice of pulling Zhu Youzhen off the throne immediately.

Hearing Xu Wanghua say this, a smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"Mr. Xu, you can't wait."

"All this is for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also for the adults, if it is according to the advice of the subordinates, as long as the luck is stopped, in a few months, the north will be in chaos, the emperor and the court can not maintain it at all, and when the Zheng family army takes action to clean up the mess, it will be much simpler."

Zheng Xunrui did not directly answer Xu Wanghua's words, but pointed to Jinzhou in western Liaoning.

"The two cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, have experienced too many battles, Yuan Chonghuan defended Ningyuan, so that Nurha Chiwang sighed, and finally had no choice but to evacuate, and then Huang Taiji personally led the army to attack Jinzhou, the Ming army still held Jinzhou and Ningyuan, Huang Taiji also ended in vain, these two cities can be described as the pride of the Ming Dynasty, but now, the emperor and the court may not have such good luck, this time Huang Taiji is prepared."

"Huang Taiji attacked Jinzhou City with the Eight Banners of Khan, so the firearms of the imperial army will lose their advantage, the Eight Banners of Khan are also familiar with firearms, in addition, Huang Taiji did not order the army to besiege Ningyuan, but concentrated all his troops in Jinzhou, doesn't Huang Taiji know that there is a large army stationed in Ningyuan City, of course this is impossible."

"Huang Taiji is not worried about the imperial army in Ningyuan City, this can only explain one problem, that is, Huang Taiji is ready for a decisive battle, this time Huang Taiji's purpose is not only to occupy Liaoxi, but also to eliminate the living forces of the imperial court to the greatest extent, so that the next battle of the Houjin Tartars will be smoother."

"Huang Taiji is so arranged and deployed, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as Hong Chengchou decides to defend the two cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, Huang Taiji, who has not been able to attack for a long time, will naturally be anxious, Huang Taiji is not an immortal, and his concentration is not so good, not to mention that the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom is not very good, and it will be unable to support such a big battle."

"It's a pity that the emperor and the court are facing a crisis situation, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not at all worried, and they launched large-scale attacks in Shanxi, Huguang and Sichuan, and the court cannot concentrate on dealing with the battle in western Liaoning.

"Chen Xinjia went to Liaoxi to supervise the war on behalf of the imperial court, I have predicted the existence of the problem, Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiliao, and he is fully responsible for the punishment of Liaoxi, why should the emperor do this, order Chen Xinjia to supervise the war, let Hong Chengchou plan with peace of mind, the so-called general will not be subject to foreign military orders, at such a critical moment, the emperor sent Chen Xinjia to supervise the war, not to Hong Chengchou is not at ease, but to the situation in Liaoxi, and the emperor has other plans in his heart."

"As the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia knows the emperor's thoughts very well, and I am afraid that he is even more anxious than the emperor.

"We have long analyzed the situation in western Liaoning, Hong Chengchou took a completely defensive position, concentrated the army in the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and the number of sergeants guarding the rest of the military fort was not very large, you must know that Hong Chengchou Everything was deployed according to the defensive plan, and suddenly he had to take the initiative to attack, and it was too late to prepare, and the difficulties encountered were difficult to estimate."

"Huang Taiji went all out to attack Jinzhou City, once Jinzhou was in an emergency, Chen Xinjia must ask Hong Chengchou to lead the army to help, at this time, Huang Taiji besieged the city and sent reinforcements to the strategic deployment was successful, and once the imperial army left Ningyuan City, it will definitely encounter a catastrophe."

After Zheng Xunrui said these words, he slammed his fist on Songshan's position.

Xu Wanghua and the others looked at Songshan between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and were speechless for a long time. (To be continued......)
