Zhang Sizhi said that the palace was in an uproar, and let the emperor respond to Tianfu in the south, isn't it just to let Zhu Youzhen go south to take refuge, how is this different from moving the capital? In the past hundred years, whenever a foreign enemy threatened the capital, the voice of moving the capital would immediately spread in private, but no one dared to raise it to the surface. Since Yingzong was captured and the Tumubao Change, whoever dares to mention the word "moving the capital" again will undoubtedly be a traitor, and everyone can be punished.

Even the emperor did not dare to say this, because as long as he proposed half a word, an official would immediately write to denounce him as a misguided monarch. But this Sizhi didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he still brought it up in front of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. The ministers and scholars turned their heads and looked at Zhang Sizhi in horror, and they were all wandering in their hearts with the same question, did this old guy take the wrong medicine, or which tendon was wrong in the morning?

Fan Fucui, a scholar of Wuyingdian University and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, immediately stood up, pointed at Zhang Sizhi's nose and scolded: "Old man Zhang is so stupid that he misunderstands the country and the king!" How can Song Huizong compare with the majesty of today? ”

To compare the emperor to Song Huizong is enough to shudder, but the effect is different, Zhu Youzhen also judged in his heart, Song Huizong lived a luxurious life, he would also draw a picture, in addition to raising a group of power traitors, and his own young man ascended the throne and eradicated the eunuch in danger, and advocated frugality, diligent government affairs, not close to women, and the Ming monarchs and saints throughout the ages are nothing more than that.

Zhu Youzhen listened quite smoothly, although he could faintly feel the exhortation in Fan Fucui's words, but there was also a trace of pride in being a courtier, which was also the greatest compliment to him.

Song Huizong is indeed inferior to Zhu Youzhen, the Jin soldiers went south, he was so frightened that he immediately abdicated and threw the country to the prince who had just been, and he took Cai Jing and other fortunate ministers all the way to escape, and waited for the Jin army to retreat and swaggered back to Tokyo Bianliang, but in the end he did not avoid the shame of being captured alive by Jin Shengsheng and sacrificed to the temple, which is not only the shame of his Zhao family, but also the shame of the entire Han people. The dignified emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty was captured alive by Yi Disheng, with his hair scattered, dressed in sheepskin, tied with hemp rope around his waist, and led the prisoners to be sacrificed to the temple with a rope, countless imperial concubines and princesses were rushed into the Huanyi Bureau and became an official prostitute who was humiliated, and this scar was still vivid even at the end of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, as a Han dynasty that reunified China, was almost paranoid in its attitude towards foreign invasions, but this also benefited from the strong national power of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until later that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted after the party struggle in the last years of Wanli and the disaster of Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse.

This former glorious giant has become an old man who is seriously ill, extremely weak, trembling, and may die at any time if he falls on his heels. God no longer favors this once glorious Ming Dynasty, since the accession to the throne today, years of drought, plagues everywhere emerge in endlessly, and finally disasters arise one after another, so the thieves make chaos, tossing the world upside down, making the already sick Ming Dynasty even worse.

coincided with the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai, and the Ming Dynasty, which was almost terminally ill, was still tough when dealing with this rising enemy, but it was always defeated. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty already felt powerless at the time of foreign wars, but this pride that was close to inferiority did not allow them to be a little soft.

This situation is just like today's court, Fan Fucui scolded Zhang Sizhi for a bloody head, and the old man was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. In the end, Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't stand it and played a round.

"Fan Qing dissipated his anger, and Master Zhang also cared about me, so he didn't choose to say anything for a while."

The emperor has said this, what else can Fan Fucui say? I had to apologize to the emperor and ask the emperor to cure him for the sin of roaring before the king. Zhu Youzhen was relieved again. Who knew that this Sizhi was embarrassed, not only did he not just get off the donkey and down the steps, but when he took a breath, he began to refute Fan Fucui.

"My old man is harming the emperor? It's a ridiculous joke! Don't you want to be traitors and scum, so you will tie up Banzai and send you to death? Hmph, the old man is here to be this traitorous scum. Once the Shanhaiguan Pass is broken, the Tartar fish penetrate into the customs, and the imperial court has been newly defeated, there are no available soldiers, in case, I mean in case the city is broken, we must always leave some seeds for our Ming Dynasty, long live the prince divided into two capitals, this is the long-term plan! ”

Listening to Zhang Sizhi pouting his beard and arguing with reason, Li Xin on the side felt that it was quite reasonable, in his previous life, if Li Zicheng captured Beijing, the emperor and the crown prince were stationed in the north and south of Beijing respectively, why did there be a later internal struggle between the factions of the Southern Ming Dynasty to fight for orthodoxy? If Nanming has a very legitimate heir or emperor, it will not decline soon, and no matter how bad the result is, it will make a situation of dividing the river and ruling it!

It seems that Zhang Sizhi is far less decrepit than he looks on the outside, at least he still has some insight and thoughts, but this pessimistic argument, even if the emperor agrees with it in his heart, he must not dare to express his support for him before the important ministers express their positions. Sure enough, Zhu Youzhen comforted Zhang Sizhi here: "Of course, Master Zhang is for my good, and our Ming Dynasty is far from the field in the master's mouth, and it will be fine in every qiē!" ”

The last sentence of this consolation was pale and weak, and Zhang Si knew that his opinion could not be adopted by everyone, so he snorted heavily and stopped speaking.

Yang Sichang saw that Zhang Sizhi had died down, and once again put forward the theory of peace talks.

"The Tartars didn't take advantage of this winter's entry, they don't have enough supplies, as long as we talk about it hard, it may not be impossible to bring Shanhaiguan back!"

Li Xin saw him show his face as Lord and Harmony, thinking of Lu Xiangsheng, who was almost squeezed to death, a burst of injustice rose in his heart, and suddenly he sneered, "Lord Yang is so naïve, do you think that with your three-inch tongue, you can recapture the first gate city in the world?" What's the use of the imperial court spending millions of dollars to raise an army? It's so real to give you all that million silver! ”

Zhang Sizhi was too excited just now, and his head was a little confused, and as soon as he heard Li Xin hurt Yang Sichang like this, he immediately became a spout laugh, which provoked Yang Sichang's face full of hatred.

"Presumptuous, what qualifications does a martial artist have to dare to talk like this to a scholar of the current dynasty?"

It was the old man Liu Juesi who spoke, although the old guy was old and scum, but after all, they were all scholars, and they still had to have face, Yang Sichang was so miserable by Li Xin, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Xin sneered: "In this way, Mr. Liu agrees with Scholar Yang to redeem the Shanhaiguan with a million taels of silver?" ”

Liu Juesi didn't react for a while, and nodded his head, saying in his heart that Yang Sichang's idea is always stronger than that of you, a martial artist.

"That's ...... of course"

But this word was only half spoken, and Liu Juesi's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because he finally reacted, a million taels of silver to ransom Shanhaiguan? Why did you bring up this stubble again? If he nods, won't he become the target of public criticism? Liu Juesi glared at Li Xin hatefully, and he underestimated this martial artist, as well as this despicable wit.

Li Xin really didn't mean to give Liu Juesi a language trap, he was taking Yang Sichang's hole cards. To negotiate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is neither a large army nor strong reinforcements in his hands, what can he use as a bargaining chip with others, it is nothing more than money, and if he wants to get Shanhaiguan back, he may not lose his capital, which is categorically impossible.

And Emperor Zhu Youzhen was worried about the safety of the Jingshi Portal, and maybe he could agree to Yang Sichang's opinion. Why didn't they think about it, the Tartars held the Shanhaiguan in their hands and held a big bone in their mouths, they couldn't chew it and swallow it, first of all, there was a fortress on the first line of Songning Jin outside the gate as a barrier, Shengjing's reinforcements may not be able to arrive lightly, and the Tartars would inevitably have to attack and defend if they wanted to keep Shanhaiguan, and supply and morale were problems.

Once Yang Sichang negotiates with "sincerity", Dolgon still has to knock him hard?

Yang Sichang's face turned from red to white and from white to red, and finally left a sentence.

"What is General Li's best strategy to surrender his troops without a fight?"

Only then did Li Xin say with a solemn face: "Li Xin will repay His Majesty's kindness for a death!" ”

"Your life is not a pity, how can the safety of the Ming Dynasty be a bet with you?"

If Yang Sichang hadn't been in front of the emperor, I'm afraid he would have been angry like thunder, even if he spoke so forcefully, he was a little confused, how did Sun Chengzong control such a martial artist who didn't enter the oil and salt?

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting behind the imperial case, it seemed that he was watching the excitement, neither stopping nor agreeing with a certain party.

Suddenly, Fu Zonglong, the secretary of the military department, who had been silent, reacted, he stood up from the train, first saluted Zhu Youzhen, and then came to the middle of Yang Sichang and Li Xin unhurriedly.

"Lao Chen also thinks that what this little general said is also reasonable, now that a battle has been fought to this extent, if you don't fight a dozen, how can you know that you can't beat the Tartars?"

Yang Sichang secretly stared at Fu Zonglong, and said in his heart, this old man usually only makes puppet clay sculptures that shake his head and nod, how can he express his opinion today? And is it an attitude diametrically opposed to what you claim? At the beginning, he supported the emperor's appointment of Fu Zonglong as the secretary of the military department, because he took a fancy to his good manipulation and was easily manipulated, but he never expected that this old guy would actually bite himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen nodded after listening to Fu Zonglong's words, it turned out that the emperor wanted to fight, and the ministers who noticed the emperor's expression were stunned.

Then he saw Fu Zonglong kneeling down and bowing three times, and said: "The minister is old and decayed, and he is overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, which has caused the military affairs to be corrupted, and he begs for long live to allow the old minister to return to his hometown." Yang Sichang, a university scholar, was brave and decisive, knew about military affairs, and his ministers recommended him to take charge of the military affairs and fight against the Tartars."

Li Xin was taken aback, if Yang Sichang was in charge of the military affairs with the qualifications of a cabinet scholar, wouldn't he be the most powerful figure comparable to the prime minister since the founding of the Ming Dynasty?
