Lu Xiangsheng blurted out: "The past of Jingshi? The oath of three palms?! Immediately, his body trembled slightly, obviously keeping up with the rhythm of tension, and his thoughts returned to a year ago.

Zhang Li's expression was serious, and he even said the passage a year ago word for word: "Li is alone, alone in the midst of great turmoil and tribulation, dying for the sake of the imperial court." There is no one in the sea who responds to the same heart, only those who talk falsely! If you have the same heart, please start with Lord Lu! ”

After a pause, Zhang Li sighed and said, "At that time, I still had a trace of fantasy about the imperial court, but now I have already seen it through. However, I have never forgotten the oath of the three palms - if Lord Lu falls into a crisis in the future, even if the official is thousands of miles away, he will also rush to the rescue! ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt his blood surge, and tears couldn't help but flow down!

A year ago, at his home in Beijing, he did high-five with Zhang Li, but then he forgot about it, and just regarded it as an officialdom - I didn't expect that Zhang Zhang really did it!

Why didn't he stay in Liaodong, but wanted to enter the king of Guanqin, it was for himself!

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't hold back any longer, and sobbed in a trembling voice: "Master Zhang, please accept Xiangsheng's worship!" ”

Originally, the two were sitting on the seats of the carriage, but Lu Xiangsheng stood up, knelt on the ground, and bowed! Zhang Zhang hurriedly helped him up, and said again and again: "Mr. Jiutai doesn't need to be like this!" Mr. is a true pillar of the country, and he has admired him for a long time, how dare he not come to the rescue? ”

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "Xiangsheng is ashamed!" ”

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng's heart was completely conquered by tension even if it was iron-beaten......

The two spoke again. Lu Xiangsheng's mood slowly calmed down.

Zhang Li lifted the curtain and glanced at Ruochen's car behind the carriage. The curtain was closed again. In fact, the tension entered the king of Guan Qin, except for the factor of Lu Xiangsheng. There are two important reasons why this is not explicitly stated.

The first is to let the soldiers under his command train with combat and grow rapidly; Another point is that the "big killer" of the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal was not mass-produced at that time.

The day before yesterday, I received a report from Tuanshan Fort Kuaima, saying that 1,000 rifled guns had been produced, but because the process was still being improved, only half of the qualified products were available, that is, 500 guns.

At the time of leaving the Tuanshan Fort, Zhang Li had a hundred rifled guns, and the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal worked overtime to produce them during the past two months. Now there are six hundred of them. If you let Wood select 600 firearms to use, it should be enough to fight - you must know that when the two armies are facing each other, and when they are deadlocked, suddenly killing 600 rifled gunners will definitely have a miraculous effect.

Time, what is lacking is time!

Zhang Zhang sighed slightly, after all, he couldn't make thousands of rifled guns by tricks, and he had to wait for production slowly......

The Tuanshan Army exited the customs from Gubeikou. The news of "escaping" back to Ningyuan, where he was stationed, did not take long to reach Jingshi. When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Zhang Zhang actually "disregarded the emperor's grace" and took the lead in "running away", he immediately jumped like thunder.

The court discussion for several days was still painless. For the military ministers with heavy troops, the princes of the court and the central government have never easily expressed their opinions - if the military ministers defect to the enemy or rebel because of verbal and written criticism, this Nima basin can be detained on themselves.

It's afternoon. Emperor Chongzhen was watching the music in the imperial study, sulking. Suddenly, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, came in to report and said that the British public was asking to see him.

Emperor Chongzhen's brows furrowed. He put the fold on top of the imperial case and said coldly: "Announce him in!" ”

After Wang Chengen brought the British public Zhang Zhiji into the imperial study, he bowed down and stood aside, looking at his nose and nose and heart, looking out of the matter.

As soon as Zhang Zhiji entered the imperial study, he found that Emperor Chongzhen's face was not good, so he also added a little caution in his heart. The British Duke came to ask for a meeting, what is the so-called? ”

The British Duke stood up and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the minister is here for the Liaodong Governor Zhang Li!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face changed suddenly, but he quickly suppressed his temperament again, and said coldly: "Hmph-that tension is really disregarding the emperor's grace, and he actually returned to Ningyuan with a large army, what is there to say!" ”

After a pause, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I will immediately issue a holy decree, remove him from his position, and strictly order Jinyi Wei to go to Liaodong to get people!" ”

"Ahem-" Wang Chengen coughed dryly and reminded Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized that he was a little out of shape, and people like Zhang Li were no longer easy for the imperial court to control, so he snorted coldly and glared at the British Gongzhang with a knife-like gaze.

Zhang Zhiji secretly complained in his heart, and his son-in-law Zhang Li did not go to Shunyi for "guerrilla warfare", but returned to Ningyuan with a large army - when he heard the news, he was also surprised, until Zhang Zhang sent someone to bring a message......

The British Duke retracted his thoughts, and didn't seem to hear what the emperor said just now, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, the Liaodong Governor Zhang Zhang did not lead the army to escape, but adopted the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao to relieve the siege of Shunyi!" ”

"Wai Wei to save Zhao?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, repeated these four words, and his frowning brows stretched slightly.

Zhang Zhiji took two steps forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty should know that Zhang Li's Tuanshan army has only more than 20,000 people, and if he goes to Shunyi to fight with Jiannu, I am afraid the chance of victory is very small." ”

"Hmm-" Emperor Chongzhen's train of thought gradually caught up with the rhythm of the British bluff. Zhang Zhiji struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Although there are only more than 20,000 people in the Tuanshan Army, all of them are elite and powerful. Jiannu is now surrounding the Jiliao army, waiting for the food to run out. But Zhang Zhang found another way, directly opened the situation from Liaodong, and attacked the enemy to be saved! Not only will the siege of Shunyi be lifted, but also Jiannu will return to Liaodong, and the land will be restored! ”

Relieve the siege of the Jiliao army, let Jiannu get out of the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and then regain the lost territory, these three goals are getting higher and higher, and even Emperor Chongzhen can't help but be a little moved when he hears it - if this is the case, Zhang Li Ke has become the biggest contributor to the Tartars' entry into the Kou.

Emperor Chongzhen showed a suspicious look on his face, and said slowly: "British Duke, what Zhang Li said is true?" ”

Zhang Zhiji didn't believe that Zhang Li had such ability, but this time he had thought through the front and back, and he had to hug his son-in-law's thigh and advance and retreat with him. To put it bluntly, even if Zhang Zhang fails, as the grandfather of the country, he will not be able to take away his title if he is punished with a few words at most. However, if the tension is successful, then there are too many benefits for yourself!

Therefore, Zhang Zhiji decided to take a gamble - success or failure depends on the ability of tension!

On this day, Zhang Zhiji discussed with Emperor Chongzhen in the imperial study for an hour before leaving the Forbidden City...... (To be continued.) )
