"Zheng Zhilong wants the whole of Taiwan?"

"Yes."

“...... The country is in trouble, and they don't want to save the country one by one, but they only know how to rob while the fire is burning. ”

Zhu Youzhen tore Xiong Wencan's letter to shreds: "If I approve Zheng Zhilong, in the future, in this world, no one will dare to negotiate conditions with me, the authority of the central government, where is the authority of the emperor!"

Yuan Chonghuan was in Liaodong, and he fought to the death with Huang Taiji, and he didn't dare to reach out and ask the court for anything. ”

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was furious with thunder, Zhou Yanru trembled, but he still persuaded him.

"Your Majesty is angry, recruiting Zheng Zhilong is related to the overall situation of the southeast."

"The overall situation, is the overall situation of the southeast more important, or the overall situation of the country is more important?"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand involuntarily: "Tell Xiong Wencan, I don't agree to this condition, if Zheng Zhilong is unwilling, then fight, until the country is ruined, I will not give Taiwan to a pirate."

Let Sun Guozhen continue to expand the army and train his troops, and the first section of the Denglai Navy Division will go south to enter the Quanzhou Navy Division camp, I would rather burn the jade and stones than let Zheng Zhilong despise the central government like this. ”

Xifengkou.

Cao Wenzhao, who was in the dust, led the army here, standing on the pass and looking north, on his side, Cao Bianjiao, Man Gui, Hou Shilu and so on.

"Half a month ago, Huang Taiji sent troops to the Dorot Department, won a great victory, captured 30,000 people, and held an oath in the Karaqin Department to marry the Karaqin Department in order to marry Wakda, the son of Daishan."

Hou Shilu introduced some of the latest information to Cao Wenzhao: "It seems that Your Majesty is correct, Ning Jin is just a feint attack by Huang Taiji, and Xifengkou is the target of Huang Taiji." ”

Cao Wenzhao wrinkled his brows: "The Mongols will actually join forces with the Jurchens, and the feud between the two tribes will be put down?" ”

"Huang Taiji can even absorb all the old generals of Ning Jin, and the official worship of the generals shows his ambition, how can such a person be bound by the old hatred." Man Gui opened his mouth: "Since Huang Taiji swallowed up the Dorot Department, there have been many Houjin spies near Xifengkou recently, secretly sending letters to disturb the hearts of our army. ”

After that, Man Gui took out a letter and handed it to Cao Wenzhao.

This is a letter written by Huang Taiji himself, and the recipient is Zhao Yihe, a thousand households in the Chinese army.

"Zhao Yihe, Er Yuan was subordinate to the Fushun guerrilla tent under the Chinese army, and was adopted in the Battle of Fushun. After arriving in Benhanke Liaodong, he gave Er guerrillas. When the people of Zhenjiang rebelled, Mao Wenlong sent the capital to persuade him to surrender, killed by Er, and insisted that his accomplices come to offer meritorious service, and if there was a holiday, he would atone for his sins according to law. The children and grandchildren of this position are hereditary. ”

Cao Wenzhao's forehead was bruised, he stretched out his hand to tear the letter to pieces, and said through gritted teeth: "Before the dog entered the customs, he began to seal the official and make a wish?" ”

"The Jurchen thief chief Taiji is quite familiar with the way of attacking the heart."

Man Gui said worriedly: "In addition, the Han Eight Banners that he made out are bewitched all day long, causing the army's heart to fluctuate, Rao is let's take more precautions, like this kind of persuasion letter, I don't know how many have flowed into the army." ”

"Take precautions." Cao Wenzhao sighed: "From today onwards, once a suspicious person is found, whether it is a military or civilian, but anyone who approaches the military camp and fort will be shot and killed!" ”

"Yes."

Cao Wenzhao inspected the defense along the pass again, and then returned to the Chinese army camp, frowning and thinking for a long time.

Cao Bianjiao, the nephew on the side, saw Cao Wenzhao frowning, so he said, "What is my uncle worried about? ”

"That Huang Taiji is insidious and cunning, and it is really a big trouble for my Ming henchman."

Cao Bianjiao said noncommittally: "Xifengkou is easy to defend and difficult to attack dangerous places, now that my uncle is here, there are 40,000 troops in Xifengkou, even if Huang Taiji raises 100,000 troops to attack, it is also doomed to defeat and return, not to mention where can he Huang Taiji conjure up 100,000 troops, it is expected to be solid." ”

Cao Wenzhao did not see ease, but said: "Having said that, but over the years, Houjin has grown stronger and stronger day by day, and Huang Taiji is very good at winning over the world. ”

"Uncle, didn't Your Majesty give you a secret letter before you came?"

Cao Wenzhao remembered at this time, and got up to get it, but the sorrow between his eyebrows still lingered.

The emperor is young after all, and he has never been in the army in person, what can he do to fight against the emperor Taiji who has been fighting on the battlefield since childhood?

With this suspicion, Cao Wenzhao opened the secret letter that Zhu Youzhen gave him earlier.

At this glance, his face was full of shock and shock.

Even the color of blood faded without a trace.

Cao Bianjiao looked curious, came over to take a look, and the frightened Cao Wenzhao hurriedly folded the letter, and then put it on the candlestick and burned it.

"Uncle, what is written in Your Majesty's letter?"

As soon as this curiosity comes out, it seems to scratch the heart, and you have to get a glimpse of the real face.

Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said that he was unwilling to say anything: "Bianjiao, you must strictly supervise the formation here, and you must not slack off in inspecting the customs and defense every day." ”

"Where's Uncle?"

"Go to Shanhaiguan."

Cao Bianjiao was suddenly surprised: "Now that the war is imminent, I don't know when Huang Taiji will lead the troops to break the customs, at this time my uncle is going to Shanhaiguan, I'm afraid there will be something wrong." ”

"It's okay, I'll go and come back." Cao Wenzhao didn't explain too much, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to leave, leaving Cao Bianjiao with a blank face looking at the candlestick in a daze.

What is written in the Emperor's secret letter?

-----------------

Denglai Governor Sun Guozhen is the descendant of Yuan Keli, the former Shaobao, and Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, was promoted by Yuan Keli, and Yuan Keli returned to his hometown to recuperate, so he entrusted Denglai to Sun Guozhen, and Dongjiang entrusted it to Mao Wenlong.

The Dongjiang River is located in southern Liaoning, deep behind the enemy lines in Manchuria, while Deng and Lai Prefectures face each other across the sea from the Dongjiang River and serve as Mao Wenlong's support.

The imperial court paid and allocated grain to Phi Island, all of which went north from Denglai.

Therefore, Denglai is Mao Wenlong's retreat.

In terms of national affairs, Sun Guozhen and Mao Wenlong are indispensable to each other, and the two of them are both descendants of Yuan Keli, so they are naturally old friends for many years.

It's just that today, Sun Guozhen killed Mao Wenlong for the first time!

The cause was a letter, a handwritten letter from Mao Wenlong.

This letter is addressed to Huang Taiji!

The content of the letter is many, and the core lies in two sentences.

"The reason why the former Khan invaded the land of Liaodong was because of our civil and military officials, who did not follow the emperor's orders and acted arbitrarily, which made the first Khan angry and provoked."

"The beggar Khan can personally send people to Phi Island, and I will tell him what he wants. Since ancient times, the two countries have fought against each other, and they have not killed each other. May the Khan take care of it for safety. ”

Mao Wenlong sent someone to send a secret letter to Shenyang, but the letter finally reached Sun Guozhen's hands.

It is believed that Sun Guozhen has already seen it, and it is indeed Mao Wenlong's handwriting is correct.

"Jinzhou is besieged, the war situation in Liaodong is in jeopardy, what does Mao Wenlong want to do when he writes this letter at this time? Do you cooperate with the enemy to protect yourself! ”

Sun Guozhen kicked away the big case in front of him, pulled out his waist knife and slashed it in two, and said with red eyes: "If he Mao Wenlong dares to be a traitor, Lao Tzu will be the first to slash him!" ”

Chief soldier Shen Yourong stepped forward cautiously and persuaded: "Dare to ask Futai, where did this letter come from?" ”

Sun Guozhen gritted his teeth and said a name: "Wang Fu." ”

Wang Fu is Mao Wenlong's Chinese army thousand households, and the letter was sent by Wang Fu.

Shen Yourong was still worried: "Futai is angry for the time being, I'm afraid it is a divisive plan of the Houjin people, and Liu Xingzuo, the anti-thief and pseudo-Fuzhou general soldier of Yuan Shaobao, did this plan....."

Liu Xingzuo, Nurhachi's son-in-law, returned to the Later Jin for 18 years, and can be said to be the pioneer of the Ming people's surrender to the Jin people, but it was such a henchman of the Later Jin who was turned back to the Ming by Yuan Kelice.

When Liu Xingzuo returned to the Ming Dynasty with his entourage, the furious Nurhachi killed almost all the Ming rebel generals who surrendered, causing the entire Han official group to collapse, and the puppet army system and intelligence system that had been finally constructed were all wiped out.

Indirectly, in just half a year, Houjin successively lost more than 400 miles of southern Liaonan territory, including Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other important towns.

Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of the Dongjiang River, was almost about to hit Shenyang.

If it weren't for Yuan Keli's blatant opposition to Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian's retaliation and dismissal from his official position, which caused him to be so angry and sick that he couldn't afford to be ill, and give Yuan Keli a few more years, Yuan Shaobao, who was proficient in intelligence warfare, war behind enemy lines, and guerrilla warfare, would probably be able to toss Houjin enough.

Shen Yourong saw that Sun Guozhen was silent, so he continued to persuade: "True and false, the way of truth and truth is the most treacherous, if this is the trick of the Houjin people, and they want to use the hand of Futai to force rebellion or even get rid of General Mao, then we are not in the arms of thieves." ”

Sun Guozhen walked back and forth: "What if this letter is true?" If Mao Wenlong really wants to join the enemy, then let's just watch?

There are more than 30,000 troops in Dongjiang, and they have been operating in southern Liaoning for many years, and if they are all in the hands of thieves and Shaobao's hard work for many years is in vain, the situation in eastern Liaoning will be even more dangerous. ”

Shen Yourong said: "That is the case, if you don't write to Mao Wenlong, now that the Houjin soldiers are besieging Jinzhou, he can quickly raise troops to attack Zhenjiang, Phoenix City and other places to contain Houjin, if he is willing to send troops, the reason is clear." ”

Sun Guozhen was about to agree, but the soldiers outside the hall walked in and handed over the letter.

"Futai, Your Majesty's handwritten decree, the first division of Denglai Water Division will go south to Quanzhou and enter Zheng Zhilong."

Sun Guozhen and Shen Yourong looked at each other, with a sad face.

At such a moment, how can we divide our troops to the south?
