Chapter 96: Raise your eyebrows
"And it can also revive the military prestige of our Ming army."
"This time, I confronted Huang Taiji in Liaoyang, the army of the Imperial Army, and I only need to make him suffer a little more, then he will no longer dare to lead the army south within three years! That will win strategic space for three years or even longer. ”
In fact, in the final analysis, Zhou Xian and Sun Chengzong's final thoughts are the same.
It's just that Zhou Xian's methods are more forward-looking.
For Zhou Xian, even if Huang Taiji did not go south this time.
He will also take the initiative to attack them once when he sees the opportunity.
In orthodox history, the Ming Dynasty had fallen two years later.
However, with Zhou Xian's strategy, the national fortunes are undergoing subtle changes.
As long as the Qing army does not enter the customs, then he will free up his hands to rectify the border army.
As long as the nine sides are completely stable, then he will order the nine sides to cooperate with Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi.
When the time comes, Li Zicheng will be destroyed.
After Sun Chengzong listened to Zhou Xian's words, he reacted instantly, he looked at Zhou Xian with great respect and appreciation, and said with sincerity: "Your Highness Shengming, it is the old minister who is short-sighted. ”
"Elder Sun Ge is modest, you have the same idea as me, but the method is different."
"My Ming Dynasty needs a peaceful transition, but peace is all fought, if we don't fight, it will only make Jiannu get carried away, but it will disturb our border passes more frequently."
"If I fight and win, then Huang Taiji will not dare to make such a big deal as before, even if Huang Taiji still wants to interfere or even spy on my Chaoming!"
"After His Royal Highness knew about it, the old minister admired it."
Sun Chengzong was completely shocked by Zhou Xian's mind.
But after listening to Zhou Xian's heart, the courtiers in the court.
One by one, I don't feel very comfortable.
Because during this time, they also have different ideas and ideas.
During this time, because the Emperor Taiji's army was pressing.
Therefore, public opinion on the side of Beijing has also been stirred.
Panic among the people has become inevitable.
To this end, the Donglin Party also mobilized many ministers to submit a note to the current dynasty and even Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Taishan Xingyuan.
They all felt that if the Battle of Liaoyang broke out, it would inevitably completely interrupt many of the decrees recently issued by the Horse Master.
Then they can go back to the way things were.
What made them even more happy was that the right to supervise the country would also be taken back by Emperor Chongzhen with the defeat in the battle with Jiannu.
After all, in Chongzhen's eyes, he would mind accepting the preparation of the official entertainment hall by the master of the horse and giving himself a share.
But it was accepted, and the horse master attacked blatantly and took the initiative to attack Jiannu, thus suffering a great defeat.
Therefore, they are full of anticipation of defeat at the front.
At that time, the cabinet of the Military Commission prepared by Zhou Xian will exist in name only.
At that time, they joined forces with Emperor Chongzhen to impeach Sun Chengzong and Zhou Guangkai.
At the same time, this also allowed those corrupt officials in the Lianghuai area to find a life-saving straw.
They kept directing Zhou Xian's attention to the war.
In this way, we ignore the encirclement and interception of corrupt officials.
Therefore, in Emperor Chongzhen's Taishan Garden, Cao Zhengchun traveled three times a day.
The officials are all working hard to write and start from various entry points to intercede for Zhao Yanpei.
Now the situation in the court is turbulent.
Zhou Xian also knew it, which was why he took the risk of sending Lu Delin out of the customs.
Because Zhou Xian urgently needed a big victory to stabilize the balance of the court.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty, which was in turmoil and was in danger, also needed a big victory in foreign wars to regain national self-confidence.
So Zhou Xian, who was sitting in the Qianqing Palace, had been praying all this time.
Pray that Loh will return victorious!
Just when the military, civilians and officials in the entire capital felt that the war in the north was tense and were looking forward to various results.
The battle report from Liaoyang City has entered Beijing.
The herald who delivered the information directly entered the Donghua Gate, and without the slightest stop, rode his horse towards the Beijing Imperial Palace.
The herald shouted hoarsely: "Liaoyang victory!" Our army has won a great victory! ”
"I beheaded 30,000 Jiannu troops towards the Jinwuwei army! The Jiannu soldiers were defeated and fled! ”
His voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the official road.
Did the North win?
Win!
Sure it's a win!
Because the herald's horse was exhausted, and the herald was holding the dragon yellow flag in his hand.
This is the information that the border army gave to the emperor or the imperial eunuch.
It's true, there is absolutely no fake.
"Sir!"
At this time, Han Shu, the military squire of the Ming Dynasty, was in his mansion, focusing on coordinating the amount of military salaries to be sent to the northern front line next.
And the old butler of the Han Mansion ran in with a happy expression.
"Master, this is an invitation from the Master of the Ministry of Rites, and he has a banquet in the mansion."
Han Shu took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Gao Yunyi.
Han Shu said: "Where is the person who sent the post? ”
"The man is gone."
"Speed up to catch up with him and tell him that I am too busy with official business to take a break, thank you for your kindness."
"Yes."
The butler hurriedly turned back and went out.
It was already late at night, and Gao Yunyi at this time couldn't understand why Han Shu would refuse his banquet.
However, for Han Shu, he could guess what Gao Yunyi wanted to do with his eyes closed, to put it bluntly, that kind of political opportunist, this Han Shilang couldn't look down on it in his heart.
Since Zhou Xian refreshed the system of officials, Gao Yunyi and Cheng Jiming, the waiters of that department, no longer jumped sideways repeatedly as before.
In the past, they were not only the core figures of the Donglin Party, but also had close relations with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of Suppression.
The whole speculative face is left and right.
Since Zhou Xian has been in the court many times.
They all looked much more honest.
Especially Gao Yunyi.
In fact, this guy's city is also quite deep.
During this time, Daming's concubine has been making changes.
And Gao Yunyi neither publicly agrees with it, nor does he secretly oppose it.
He looks like a maverick pacifist standing between the reformists and the Conservatives.
In fact, that guy is observing the atmosphere on both sides.
Always ready to take the plunge and throw yourself into an advantageous formation.
At this point in time, he invited Han Shu to his house for a banquet.
What's there to eat?
To put it bluntly, that guy just wanted to take money to bribe Han Shilang.
Where did Gao Yunyi's money come from?
It was all scavenged from the common people and some corrupt officials of the group or dividends.
Even during this time, he tried his best to impeach those officials of Sun Chengzong for Emperor Chongzhen.
In fact, many people took Gao Yunyi's money.
But Han Shu didn't want to be in league with them.
Although he had opposed the suggestion of the Horse Master to send troops to battle in the court.
That was his fear from the bottom of his heart, that Da Ming had lost the battle.
So I didn't dare to attack rashly.
