Mao Weizhang really wanted to stop at this moment, look at this full of prosperity, and look at the splendid mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

Once upon a time, the northern capital of Beijing was not inferior to the current imperial capital of Nanjing.

But now it is nothing more than a garden for the children of the Eight Banners.

"In the end, it is the capital of the Han family, dressed like snow, and a gorgeous place."

Mao Weizhang had to hold back his gaze and galloped on the streets of Nanjing, hoping to arrive at the imperial front as soon as possible and tell the news.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded rhythmically on the bluestone slabs.

The Flying Fish suit reflects a dazzling light in the bright sunlight.

Only in the kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, a brocade guard like him can feel the supreme glory.

"As long as Your Majesty is still there, your home and country will still be there--Northland Shimin Reception Registration Office", a banner on the right side of the outer city gate attracted Mao Weizhang's attention.

I don't know why, at the moment, this sentence made him, a widower in brocade clothes who no longer knew where his home was, couldn't help but feel sour at the moment.

At this moment, Mao Weizhang was even more looking forward to seeing the face of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, Duoduo, the prince of Jiannu Yu, will be executed by Ling Chi outside the Taiping Gate three days later, and Jiang Yueguang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Chunde, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Wei Botong, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, will be the prison officials."

At this time, there was a newsboy running around the city.

Although Mao Weizhang couldn't stop to buy a copy and take a look, he felt even more relieved when he heard that Duoduo was about to be executed by Ling Chi.

He had seen the picture of Duoduo going out to conquer the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes, and at that time Duoduo's toes were arrogant, and he still remembered it clearly, but now he didn't expect to be captured by life.

Mao Weizhang went straight into the palace and informed Wang Chengen, who was on duty in the Qianqing Palace, and still prostrate in the outer hall waiting for Zhu Youzhen to summon him.

……

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was still discussing matters in the Generalissimo's Mansion.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, had already received military news from Huguang, although the army of Li Yan resisted fiercely, but half a month ago, Azig still successfully occupied Xiangyang and captured Yicheng.

It was only a matter of time before the city of Hindu, that is, Chengtianfu, fell into the hands of the enemy.

Zhu Youzhen had to convene Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa to discuss the matter of Huguang, preparing for the defeat of the captivity army in the future, which would cause Huguang to fall and Jiangxi to be in danger.

Zhou Yuji, Liu Fangliang, He Xin and other officials of the Guards system were still resting in Yangzhou at this time, and they were preparing to go to Henan, Shandong and other places in half a month.

Therefore, at this time, there were only two people in the Generalissimo's Mansion, Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department.

"Azig is attacking fiercely, but it is steady and steady, not like Duoduo lightly attacking the enemy, we are not good at finding the opportunity to eat him, so we can only resist head-on with a large army, but the Qing army is indeed brave and good at fighting, only with the combat strength of the army of extermination, it is indeed difficult to resist, so from the perspective of Weichen, it is still necessary to transfer the guards into Huguang, or transfer the Huang Degong Department to the north."

Shi Kefa said.

But Ma Shiying expressed his opposing opinion: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, there is no need to transfer the guards now, and there is no need to transfer Huang Degong's troops to rescue Huguang, Huguang can still be stalemate like this, and Weichen has the courage to think that it is better to borrow the hand of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to eliminate the power of the captive army, and when they are both defeated, it is not too late for us to send reinforcements." ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen could hear that Ma Shiying wanted to use the hands of the Manchus to reduce the power of the captive army.

However, Zhu Youzhen did not think about adopting Ma Shiying's conspiracy, so he shook his head: "No, I will not do this, at this time, I am afraid that the extermination army will be forced to defect to the Qing court, don't forget that there is a remnant of thieves in the Hanzhong area, now that Duoduo has been defeated, no one knows whether the Qing court will change the suppression of thieves to Zhao'an, and Azig is now equivalent to a lone army no matter what, Dolgon stretched out two fists to pacify the south, the left hand is Duoduo, and the right hand is Azig, We've got his left hand off now, and we're going to have to get his right hand off before he gets his right hand back! ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said this, Wang Chengen walked in: "Your Majesty, Mao Weizhang of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei came to report, the Qing court was shocked when he learned that Duoduo was defeated, and the Qing court intended to return to the dynasty with Azig Banshi, and the Qing court still seems to be interested in cutting down the Ming again." ”

"He Manchu has just gained a foothold in the north, and he has to deploy heavy troops in Gyeonggi, and now he has lost tens of thousands of Manchurian iron cavalry, and he still has the ambition to attack my Ming Dynasty, does he still have troops?" Ma Shiying, the secretary of the military department, couldn't help but ask.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen glanced at Ma Shiying, then got up and said: "Manchurian iron cavalry is not enough, there are still eight banners of the Han army and green battalion soldiers, the next battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties, almost all of the dead are Han people, since ancient times, those who destroyed the Han are all Han thieves, but now this is not the point, the point is that the Azig department wants the class to return to the dynasty, so it has been explained that since Dolgon is undoubtedly fighting again, in this case, he can't let him Azig easily class the division, and order the third army of the Guards Liu Fangliang, Huang Degong and Yuan Jixian to press up and launch a counterattack on the Azig department!" ”

"Your Majesty! Liu Fangliang is a thief in the old department, and sent him to rescue the exterminating army, I'm afraid it will not be good", Ma Shiying hurriedly reminded Zhu Youzhen at this time.

Zhu Youzhen understood what Ma Shiying meant, an official like him who was a big bureaucrat and a big landlord still had a sense of distrust in Liu Fangliang, who was born in the peasant army, but Zhu Youzhen himself knew that it would not be these former peasant troops who would really compromise with the Qing army.

"It's okay, don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious, let Liu Fangliang rescue the exterminating army, first, it is geographically closer to Huguang, and secondly, because Liu Fangliang is a thief in the old department, I want him to rescue, so the enthusiasm is naturally higher, as for whether the third army will throw itself into Li Yan because of this, naturally there is no need to worry, most of the middle and lower-level officers are the children of the official eunuchs and the old official army, and he Liu Fangliang can't lead 150,000 people to turn away from the imperial court at this time."

After Zhu Youzhen said that, he ordered Ma Shiying to draft an order to issue a military order from the Generalissimo's Office.

Ma Shiying, the secretary of the military department, had nothing to say, but Zhu Youzhen glanced at Ma Shiying coldly.

The distrust and hostility of the gentry class to the common people still annoyed him, the emperor, even Ma Shiying, who was still a military secretary, not to mention other civil and military officials, Zhu Youzhen found that there was still a long way to go to cultivate national consciousness and overall situation awareness in this era, and to ease the distrust and contradictions between the vague classes.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say to Ma Shiying before leaving: "There is a talent for the first assistant, but there is no amount of the first assistant, there is a sinister and cunning technique, but there is no knowledge of the overall situation, how to become a great tool!" The world is not just the world of scholars! ”

Zhu Youzhen could only mention it to Ma Shiying, and at the same time, it could be regarded as saying it to Shi Kefa.

Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa were stunned in place, Zhu Youzhen's sentence "The world is not just the world of scholars" was like thunder bursting in their ears, and they didn't know how to understand the meaning of His Majesty Zhu Youzhen.
