In fact, Tianqi also thought about whether as long as Sun Chengzong was appointed as the Jiliao Governor and Yuan Chonghuan could be controlled, he would not kill Mao Wenlong.

But after weighing, Tianqi still gave up this plan, because it was not a Yuan Chonghuan who was the big Ming, and a Yuan Chonghuan couldn't change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan is only an excellent tactician at best, and his strategic vision is much worse.

The key is that he still likes to be smart, and he doesn't report some important things, he does it in private, and even directly cuts it first.

Putting such a person in the intricacies of Liaodong will happen bad sooner or later, so Apocalypse still decided not to take this risk.

In the end, Sun Chengzong failed to convince Tianqi to let Yuan Chonghuan return to Liaodong, but Tianqi promised Sun Chengzong that he would let Yuan Chonghuan train in Guangdong first, in case of emergency.

Because Yuan Chonghuan is a native of Guangdong, he is now in his hometown of Dongguan.

Although the result was unsatisfactory, Sun Chengzong could only accept it, and then bid farewell to the apocalypse and went out of Beijing to Liao to take office.

On the same day that Sun Chengzong arrived in Ningyuan, Yuan Keli also arrived in Beijing.

However, compared with Sun Chengzong, the upright Yuan Keli seems to have completely died of the intrigue in the officialdom today, so he did not go to Beijing this time to report on his work, but insisted on resigning and did not want to get involved in officialdom again.

This is completely expected by the apocalypse, but after Yuan Keli in the official history stepped down, Chongzhen also thought of using him many times, but he refused, and Chongzhen was no longer reluctant.

However, Tianqi attaches great importance to Yuan Keli, even more than Sun Chengzong, and his strategic vision is incomparable to Yuan Chonghuan and others.

The existence of Yuan Keli can not only stabilize Denglai, but even appease and control Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River, and his role can be said to be irreplaceable.

The apocalypse naturally would not let such a capable and loyal minister waste himself at home in vain, so even if he gave up the emperor's face, he must leave this old minister behind.

Looking at Yuan Keli, who was kneeling straight on the ground and rejecting himself again, Tianqi wanted to pick him up in person, but he had a posture that if you don't agree, I won't get up.

Tianqi was helpless, and suddenly sat next to Yuan Keli, startling Yuan Keli, he hurriedly said: "Long live, Ninety-Five, how can it be so?" ”

Tianqi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that in Yuan Gong's heart, I am just a stubborn and ignorant child, so I don't want to serve me anymore." ”

Yuan Keli was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Long live, how dare Xiaomin have such a heart of great rebellion?" Long live the vision. ”

"It's just that Xiaomin has gone through three dynasties and served the court for most of his life, and now he is old and powerless, and he can't afford to bear the trust of Banzai, so please take back his life."

Hearing these words, Tianqi sighed heavily, his expression was sad, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "Last year, Jianyu once again defeated Ningyuan and Jinzhou, the old slave Nurhachi, and now the slave chief Huang Taiji have been defeated twice in Liaoxi, and they must know that it will be difficult to break through the defense line of our Daming Pass and Ningjin in a short period of time. ”

"However, the Jianguo flourished by plundering and not re-producing, and the output of Liaodong could not support millions of people, so it was because the Jianguo would plunder every battle and feed the war with war."

"But in the past two years, the battle of Ningyuan and the battle of Ningjin have not benefited from the construction of the captives, and the casualties are secondary, and the military funds have been greatly consumed. In the long run, the construction will not be continued. ”

"Huang Taiji's ability is not inferior to his father, and in some respects he is even better than Nurhachi, he will definitely think of other methods."

"Last year, Lin Dan Khan of the Mongolian Chahar Department took the initiative to abandon his ancestral land and move west in order to avoid the capture of the army, and now he has reached the north of Datong."

"As soon as Lin Dan Khan leaves, the gateway to the Ming Dynasty of the Chahar Department is opened, if I am Huang Taiji, how can I not think of the road to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty through Mongolia?"

"The hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is richer than that of Liaodong, if its troops are directed at our Ming Jinggi, it can not only raise its military might, but also weaken the morale of our Ming army."

"Once you succeed, you will gain a lot, and no matter how big the risk is, it is worth trying, and Huang Taiji will not be unexpected."

"However, the army of the Nine Sides has been eroded, and the Great Wall of thousands of miles cannot resist the soldiers of Jianyu at all. At that time, the land of my Gyeonggi will be ruined, and the face of the Ming Dynasty and me will exist? ”

Yuan Keli looked at the apocalypse in front of him in a daze, as if he had met it for the first time.

Is this still the long live that the old minister knows? How can you say such a commanding word?

He didn't think that the words of the Apocalypse were alarmist, but he strongly agreed that there was at least seventy percent of the possibility that Jianyu would make a detour through Mongolia to enter the Koukou, and this time would not be too long.

Just as Banzai just said, the output of Liaodong simply cannot feed so many people, and Jianyu cannot get benefits in Liaoxi, so he can only find another way, and a detour to Mongolia is a good choice.

Of course, entering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the captives must be poured out, and the labor expedition will inevitably take a lot of risks.

Not to mention whether it will fall into the quagmire of war and be unable to extricate itself, once Liaodong is empty, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang will definitely take advantage of the weakness and pose a threat to the hinterland of Jianyu.

However, these risks are still well worth a try compared to the benefits.

Seeing that Yuan Keli was still silent, Tianqi continued: "Now the only one who can change all this is Yuan Gong. ”

Yuan Keli immediately shook his head and said: "Long live, Xiaomin is just a puppet, it is difficult to be a big responsibility, and he can't afford to be so praised by Long Life." ”

Tianqi said to himself: "Denglai, now the only one who can break this situation is Denglai." ”

"Revive Denglai, recover southern Liaoning, by that time, there will be Dongjiang Mao Wenlong in the east, Yuan Gong in southern Liaoning, and Sun Shi in western Liaoning.

"Otherwise, if he dares to enter my Gyeonggi, my army will copy his lair."

Yuan Keli fell silent again.

Apocalypse is very depressed, and when it comes to this level, he still refuses to give in.

If it were someone else, Tianqi would have given up a long time ago, but for Yuan Keli, he really cherished his talent.

At this moment, a shout sounded outside the hall: "Her Royal Highness the Queen has arrived." ”

Tianqi's heart moved, and he hurriedly got up and went straight to the outside of the hall.

Zhang Yan, who was walking towards the gate of Qianqing Palace, saw the apocalypse running out directly to greet him, and was shocked, long live, what's wrong? Even if you want to see a concubine, you don't have to be like this.

She didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly quickened her pace.

Tianqi grabbed Zhang Yan's slender hand and waved away the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids.

When there was no one else around, Tianqi immediately fell into Zhang Yan's ear and whispered for a while.

Zhang Yan looked at each other and nodded seriously.

Immediately, the husband and wife walked into the Qianqing Palace hand in hand, and Yuan Keli, who was dressed in cloth, still knelt there seriously.
