Chapter 507: Heng Mei treats Qianfu coldly

After Zhu Daolin spent more than ten minutes explaining things clearly, he stood up and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, whose eyes were wide open and extremely shocked:

"This is the reason why the ministers did not hesitate to violate the ban and hurriedly entered Beijing to meet the emperor, before that, Weichen still had a major event to hide from the emperor, and concealed Wei's most respected Wei Guogong, Longping Hou and Wu Gonggong......"

"Before leaving Liugong Island the morning before yesterday, Weichen issued a secret order to all the generals and colonels of the Beihai Division stationed on Liugong Island, and quickly transported the 15,000 soldiers stationed on Liugong Island and enough weapons and ammunition to Liugong Island, and joined with the 6,500 soldiers of General Jiang Yulong's headquarters who had stayed on Guanglu Island for a long time to form the main force of the Western Front to attack Jinzhouwei, and the guerrilla general Guo Zhongjun served as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front!"

"In addition, the two divisions of the Fushan Army stationed in Qingdao, with a total of 15,000 musketeers, 800 artillerymen, and 7,000 cavalry, had quietly sailed to Weihaiwei by land three days ago under the command of General Tongzhili Yiliang, the commander of Fushanwei."

"Five days later, at five o'clock in the morning on the 17th of this month, these 22,800 soldiers will take the lead in attacking the mouth of the Zhuang River in Liaodong Bay, and then at all costs, they will kill Gaizhou, 200 miles to the northwest......"

"The order given to them by the ministers is that the time has come to serve the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, even if they are all killed in battle, they must attract the troops left behind by the Houjin Tartars in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and fully assist the 35,000 men and horses of the Dongjiang New Army on the banks of the Yalu River and the 22,000 men and horses of the West Road who have assembled in Guangludao to attack Liaodong from the east and west."

"Your Majesty, for this battle, the ministers and soldiers worked hard day and night for two years, spending tens of millions of taels and countless efforts, this time the ministers and 80,000 soldiers were released, and they vowed not to collect troops if they did not recover Liaodong, and they were not successful. Instant benevolence! ”

The room was full of exclamations.

Xu Hongji, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but get up, staring at Zhu Daolin, who had a calm face after revealing the shocking news.

The eunuchs of the inner court were already frightened, and it took a while for Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a trembling mood, to calm down his ups and downs. Licking his dry and cold lips, he made a trembling inquiring sound:

"Love...... Aiqing, how can such a big thing ...... Why didn't you tell me in advance, you...... You're not going to make me happy, are you? ”

Zhu Daolin bent down and saluted, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, if Weichen reports in advance, I am afraid that it will reach the ears of the Liaodong Tartars in less than three days, and say something heart-wrenching." Weichen had no confidence in most of the Korean Chinese martial arts, and they were thankful that they didn't cause trouble for Weichen. ”

Seeing the dark-colored and complicated emperor exhaling slowly but not speaking, Zhu Daolin turned to Xu Hongji and the three and sincerely apologized:

"I'm sorry, the three uncles, the little nephew didn't deceive your predecessors from beginning to end, the little nephew still adhered to the strategy discussed with your predecessors before, and joined hands to attack the mobs in the Central Plains and Jingxiang and other places. We will do our best to capture the elderly, weak, women, children, and innocent people who are being held hostage, and drive the mob who have resisted and died unrepentantly along the way to the south of the Yangtze River......"

And then. We join hands to carry out the pursuit, only by being ruthless and completely abandoning the so-called benevolence and intolerance in our hearts, can we get rid of the cancer that has been parasitic on the body of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years in one fell swoop, and can we achieve the ultimate goal of breaking and standing up and reviving the Ming Dynasty! ”

On the way to Beijing, the little nephew has said these words countless times. Now in front of the emperor, the little nephew feels the need to say it again, so that everyone knows that I, Zhu Daolin, have the Ming Dynasty and the society in my heart, and I don't have the slightest selfishness. ”

"Aiqing, I can understand the attack on Liaodong. I also appreciate it very much, and I am very gratified, but your series of strategies against the gate valve of the Jiangnan family are too shady and bloody, aren't you afraid of being pointed out by thousands of people and leaving a stench for thousands of years? ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale, his voice trembled, and the others were no better, they all looked at Zhu Daolin like a devil.

Zhu Daolin turned to Emperor Chongzhen unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, for hundreds of millions of people to be able to live a stable life after the pains, no longer need to endure the endless oppression and exploitation of the landlords and corrupt officials, reclean their dilapidated homes, and then achieve the purpose of reviving the Ming Dynasty. ”

"If the emperor still thinks that Weichen's plan to drive away the wolf and tiger is too shady and bloody, and does not agree with Weichen to do this, Weichen will also follow the emperor's will and do his best to assist Wei Guogong, Long Pinghou and Wu Gonggong to keep Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and keep Fengyang, the land of Longxing, as for what to do after that, we can only look at one step at a time."

"What about Liaodong?"

Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, the die-hard Wang Chengen couldn't help but shout first, for fear that Zhu Daolin, who had never seen the law of kings, would not try his best to recover Liaodong under his anger.

Zhu Daolin smiled at Wang Chengen: "Don't worry about the princess, this attack on Liaodong is also ready to be attacked, even if I finish all the family resources, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"What's more, as far as I know, the enemy chieftain Huang Taiji has personally led a main force of 35,000 Tartars to conquer the Mongolian steppe two months ago, and now he has basically subdued all the Mongolian tribes, and is gathering in the western part of Chahar, preparing to go south, and may break through at any time and plunder Xuanda and Beizhili."

"Now the total number of Tartar troops left in Liaodong is less than 30,000, nearly half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, if I don't take advantage of this opportunity to quickly attack the hinterland of Liaodong, how can I defeat the idea of Huangtai Jinan invading my Ming Dynasty and return to my old lair? How can you be worthy of the emperor and the hundreds of millions of people who are looking forward to it? How can you be worthy of the brothers under your command who have been practicing hard day and night for two years? ”

"Therefore, please rest assured that my father-in-law will not be placed above the Ming Dynasty and the society of the Ming Dynasty, let alone harbor the so-called rebellious or even usurpative ambitions as some people slander."

Zhu Daolin's words were calm and tepid, but they were as deafening as the morning bell and dusk drums, and everyone was stunned and imaginative.

"No, no! The uncle misunderstood, and I firmly believed in the uncle's loyalty and patriotism, and I didn't doubt the uncle's meaning at all! ”

Wang Chengen was so frightened that he explained in a loud voice, it doesn't matter if he offends anyone in this world, he just can't offend this ruthless man who is powerful and bottomless and has been regarded as a relative by the royal family.

Zhu Daolin also didn't care about Wang Chengen, and took this opportunity to show his attitude to the uncertain young emperor:

"Your Majesty, Wechen was full of confidence in the Liaodong Campaign, for which Wechen invested nearly 100,000 troops, and in two years was equipped with 100,000 muskets, more than 500 artillery pieces, 35,000 war horses and 3,000 specially made standard carriages.

"If you add the 50,000 Liaodong refugees who have been living in Korea and have their hearts towards the Ming Dynasty, and 100,000 people have transported grain and grass and ordnance for our armies from all walks of life, it can be said that there is no suspense in the victory of this battle, even if Huang Taiji leads 50,000 Tatars and Mongolian rebels back to participate in the war, they will not be able to withstand the fierce artillery attack of our army, and the worst result is that both sides will be defeated and finally our army will win a miserable victory, and within three months, Liaodong will return to the hands of our Ming army and people!"

"At that time, Weichen will retire successfully, and I implore the emperor to allow Weichen to take his wife and children and leave Daming and return overseas."

The hall was full of exclamations, and Emperor Chongzhen on the throne stood up under the shock, staring at Zhu Daolin, who knelt down again and couldn't stand it, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.
