When the news of the annihilation of the Jiliao army reached Liaodong, Zhang Zhang was arranging the defense of the Haizhou Acropolis and had just returned to the base camp of Jinzhou City.

As soon as he received the news, Zhang Zhang immediately summoned Gao Yuanliang and Lu Xiangsheng to the official hall to discuss the matter.

As the Tuanshan Army became more and more powerful and its territory became more and more extensive, Zhang Li now rarely held meetings with all members. After all, many generals are stationed in their respective cities, so Zhang Li often only looks for the two most important people around him: Gao Yuanliang and Lu Xiangsheng.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the Imperial Guard's Hall, Zhang Zhang went straight to the point and briefly explained the drastic changes that had occurred in the customs to the two. Gao Yuanliang was born in the eastern Liaodong border army before, and when he heard that the Jiliao army was annihilated, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Lu Xiangsheng heard that after Zu Dashou surrendered, he also received a reward of "General Fuyuan", and he couldn't help but show disdain: "The ancestral family has been Mu Guoen for 200 years, but I didn't expect Zu Dashou to defect once, and he is really a generation of people who forget their ancestors!" ”

Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, he knew that the ancestor of Zu Dashou had been eating in Liaodong Wei during the Xuande period, and if he counted it by pinching his fingers, it had indeed been nearly two hundred years.

Next, Lu Xiangsheng's brows furrowed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Hong Hengjiu has always been cunning, I'm afraid he won't die." ”

Heng Jiu is Hong Chengchou's character, and Lu Xiangsheng's name for him shows that he has not yet surrendered to the enemy.

Gao Yuanliang had a solemn look on his face and said: "The scholar doctor pays the most attention to face, that Hong Chengchou is the second grade of the official residence, and has been praised by the emperor many times, is it really shameless and wagging his tail and begging for mercy on the Tartar?" ”

"Above the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty - I am afraid there are very few people who want to face!" Zhang Li's categorical sentence concluded Hong Chengchou's fate.

There was a pause. Zhang Zhang continued: "Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou are two thieves, he will be slashed by one day!" ”

As soon as Zhang Li said this, he said. How dare Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Yuanliang say more? Soon, tension diverted the topic. took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Gao Yuanliang with his backhand.

After Gao Yuanliang and Lu Xiangsheng watched it together, they were shocked!

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Li with an incredible expression, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, this is ...... Is what this letter says true? ……”

Zhang Zhang nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "This is from the intelligence department of the Tuanshan Army, and it is conclusive. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's whole body trembled slightly, obviously this letter touched his bottom line-

Gao Yuanliang's reaction was much gentler. Because he was not from the scholarly class, even reading the military book only started after following Zhang Zhang to Tuanshan Fort.

Zhang Zhang said coldly: "The respect of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times, and it controls the Western Oceans of the North and the West of the South Island, and there is no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's small coins, and no gifts from brothers and enemies......"

This passage was said by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di when he returned to Beijing during the second Northern Expedition of the Mongolian class, which is the so-called "no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, and the Son of Heaven guards the country." The original source of "The King's Death Society".

That's right, the secret letter sent by Yesheng reported that Emperor Chongzhen asked the great eunuch Cao Huachun to send someone to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji!

Negotiate peace, this is tantamount to slapping Zhu Di in the face. Disobey the teachings of the ancestors!

In fact, the tension is very clear, there are two main things in history about the peace talks between the Ming and Qing dynasties. The first time was at that time. It should be that Yuan Dudu was in contact with Huang Taiji in private, and Chongzhen didn't know about it. So Yuan Dudu died very miserably. Ling Chi - There are many ministers who have been killed in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but there are very few who have been killed by Ling Chi.

The second time was in the last years of Chongzhen. Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was responsible for taking the lead in secretly negotiating peace with Jiannu. This time, it is certain and certain that it is definitely the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen. However, Chen Xinjia is also very sad, he was secretly negotiating peace, but he messed up.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen secretly ordered him to negotiate peace with the Qing soldiers. One day, the officials of the council and the peace sent a secret letter from the border to reply to the peace conditions, Chen Xinjia put it on the case, and his children mistakenly thought it was the "Tang Bao" and handed it over to the provincial offices in Beijing for copying.

Chen Xinjia did not think that he was guilty, but boasted of his merits -- didn't this roast the "wise and martial" emperor on the fire?

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen stood up for the first time and said that he had no intention of "negotiating peace", and everything was done by Chen Xinjia himself. Then Chen Xinjia was wiped at the entrance of the vegetable market, which can be regarded as blocking the mouth of the world.

However, Zhang Li is not half interested in "ancestral training" or "ancestral training", but he is very unhappy - your Chongzhen Emperor strictly ordered all the troops of the Ming Dynasty to fight to the death, and repeatedly urged all the armies to fight to the death with Jiannu, but behind his back he went to Huangtaiji to negotiate peace.

Lu Xiangsheng also meant this, he thought of the soldiers of the 5,000 Tianxiong Army who fought to the death in Shijingshan, and couldn't help but burst into tears......

"He will make peace with him, and we will fight our war." After a short time, Zhang Zhang made a decision himself.

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Yuanliang nodded one after another, and Lu Xiangsheng said loudly: "My lord, if it is said that there is still the possibility of peace with Jiannu during the Wanli and Apocalypse years, but now there is no half of it. The slave chief Hongtai is now bent on entering the Huahua world in the Central Plains, and what he says about peace, it is all about seeking skin with the tiger! ”

Zhang Li bowed slightly, diverting the topic: "Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, originally went to Shandong to suppress thieves, but on the way, as soon as he heard that the Jiliao army was annihilated, he immediately retracted to Shanhaiguan to preserve his strength. At the moment, the biggest warlord in Ji Town is him. ”

Gao Yuanliang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "My lord, what do you mean, our Tuanshan army is going to enter the customs?" ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly and said calmly: "The time is not yet ripe!" If our regimental mountain army enters the customs one day, it will be like the past of Young Marshal Zhang and Deputy Marshal Lin! ”

Gao Yuanliang and Lu Xiangsheng naturally didn't understand who "Young Marshal Zhang" and "Deputy Marshal Lin" were, but they didn't dare to ask more, and they could only guess one or two in their hearts......

Zhang Zhang didn't bother to explain, Zhang Shaoshuai led the army into the customs, changed the flag, and the chairman won the Central Plains War, and the country can be regarded as unified; Vice Marshal Lin led the Northeast Field Army into the pass, which played a crucial role in the later victory of the Pingjin and Huaihai battles.

If you add the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if you calculate carefully, the Northeast is really a good place - the land of Longxing!

Zhang Zhang retracted his thoughts and said lightly: "Not entering the customs does not mean that we will not expand our power - well, Yuan Liang, recently I always recall the past of Penglai County - the people of Shandong are quite miserable!" Previously, he was plagued by Kong Youde's soldiers, and now he has been plundered by thieves...... Alas! ”

Gao Yuanliang was overjoyed, if Lord Zhang wanted to occupy Shandong, it would be justified. Because Liaodong is in the Chongzhen Dynasty and Shandong, it is simply a "brother province" that wears a pair of pants. Zhang Li supervised Liaodong, so he naturally had to take charge of the Denglai military affairs of Shandong...... (To be continued.) )
