Lu Xiangsheng's actions first caused movement on the Ming Dynasty.
Some people swiftly chased after the storm, spread rumors in the capital, and set off a frenzy in the court.
"No matter what Lu Xiangsheng feels is not suitable for war, it's just under the pressure of adults..."
Standing at Zhou Zheng’s table, Jiang Guangyue said with no expression on his face and angrily in his eyes: “What Lu Xiangsheng is resisting the law reform, resisting the war. Any adult has been dazzled by prestige and should be an official... in the capital, in the imperial court. The memorial, could it be... ”
Zhou Zheng was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Don't be angry, this is normal. If you can't lie to yourself, how can you lie to Jianlu?"
Jiang Guangyue is a book of the Ministry of War, and he naturally knows the grand strategy and various tactics of the Northern Expedition.
He listened to Zhou Zheng's words, his heart moved, and said, "My lord, what is this going to do?"
Zhou Zheng looked outside with a faint gaze, and said: "The reform was driven by my single hand. If I were to fall, you said, those who change the way and pull their hind legs can't help but jump out?"
Jiang Guangyue understood, and said, "My lord is going to further create momentum to confuse Jianli, and at the same time sort out the reform team?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Go to Sun Chuanting and discuss it carefully."
Jiang Guangyue raised his hand and said, "Yes."
Then, he said: "My lord, are you going to Liaodong?"
On such a major event as the Northern Expedition, it stands to reason that Zhou Zheng should go to Liaodong to personally direct it. This is not only a huge contribution, it also involves military power.
If Zhou Zheng did not go, Lu Xiangsheng had commanded more than one hundred thousand elite troops, and coupled with the great achievements of the Northern Expedition, it would be enough to be on par with Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Not going anymore."
Jiang Guangyue took a deep look at Zhou Zheng and said, "The next official dares to ask: Lu Jiandou, are you going back to Beijing?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Guang and said, picking up the teacup, and did not answer him immediately.
Jiang Guangyue looked at Zhou Zheng silently.
The current imperial structure is relatively stable. If Lu Xiangsheng returns to Beijing with great achievements, how should he arrange for him? Also, what is his position? He has always been outside the court, keeping his attitude secret.
Once Yang Sichang and others wanted to win over and use him, he did not have a word of explanation afterwards.
Zhou Zheng finished his tea and said: "The military reform has not yet ended. It is too early to say that Shenyang also needs someone to guard it."
The military reform is not over!
Jiang Guangyue muttered these words in his heart, and for a long time, he said, "Yes, the lower officials understand."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'm not going, you have to go. After you go, watch more and do less talk."
Jiang Guangyue raised his hand and bowed deeply and said, "The official thank you, Lord!"
At this time, whoever goes to Liaodong will be given credit. Lu Xiangsheng really put down Liaodong. He is still a book in the Ministry of War. No matter how he will have a share of credit, he will increase his status and reputation in the imperial court.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go, the officialdom must be cleaned up, and the army must be cleaned up. It's all done well."
Jiang Guang said, raising his hand, and said, "The officials obey orders."
Zhou Zheng nodded and took a piece of paper in his hand.
This piece of paper has been folded and comes from the Military Intelligence Department.
Jiang Guangyue glanced, then quietly stepped out.
Zhou Zheng looked at the piece of paper, his expression calm, his eyes flickering constantly.
This is from Myanmar. It seems that the King of Myanmar intends to use the power of Wu Sangui and others to stabilize the internal division. Although the Ming dynasty carried out a large-scale military demonstration here to deter, Myanmar still did not make any changes, intending to protect Wu Sangui and others. .
For a long time, Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Is this sure I don't have the extra energy to clean up you?"
Zhou Zheng thought quickly that the battle in Liaodong had dragged down his utmost energy and Ming's national strength. There was indeed no way to start two uncertain battles at the same time.
But he can't let Burma go on like this, otherwise, sooner or later he will become a big trouble for Ming Dynasty.
"Yao Tongshun." Zhou Zheng suddenly said to the outside.
Yao Tongshun immediately came in and said, "My lord."
Zhou Zheng was still thinking about it, and said, "Go, tell Liuzhe, let him go to Yunnan in person, tell Zhao Lijiao and the others, you can take a fight, whether it's Annan or Myanmar."
Yao Tongshun bowed and said, "Yes."
The people outside were still thinking about how to force Zhou Zheng to submit and give up the Northern Expedition, but they didn't know that Zhou Zheng was already planning to start two wars at the same time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the situation was surging, and internal fighting was endless, and the situation of Jianlu was even worse.
As the Ming Dynasty announced the postponement of the Northern Expedition, Jianlu breathed a sigh of relief, and all kinds of speculations and remarks were raging, and the voice of'stop fighting' continued in Shenyang and beyond.
The voice of "Zhuhepai" began to raise its head, and various melodies appeared at Xiaozhuang's table.
Xiaozhuang also hesitated a little, and called Jierhalang, Daishan and so on.
Han Chen, who replaced me in Ning Wan, also appeared here.
He was a strong advocate of peace. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty delayed the Northern Expedition, he immediately said confidently: "The Queen Mother, the Ming Dynasty postponed the Northern Expedition. It can only show that they have a major problem and cannot make the Northern Expedition. This is our opportunity!"
The reason why Chen Hualong opposed the start of a war and the peace was because he felt that Jianlu had a small chance of winning. Their strategy should be to delay time and restore vitality in order to start the war in the future, not now.
Dai Shan glanced at him, didn't like this person, and said indifferently: "What chance? Could such a big move by Ming Ren be abandoned halfway? Sooner or later, he will come again."
Chen Hualong ignored Daishan and said directly: "Queen dowager, postponing before the battle is a tactical taboo. This will have a huge blow to morale. The minister can conclude that the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to go north on time in May!"
At this time, Ji'erhalang also glanced at him and said: "Maybe the Ming army is in trouble, but if they can't go north in May, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Such a big movement up and down in the Ming Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of people. If it ends in a hurry, the up and down will certainly not agree. Zhou Zheng, the coach, may face very serious consequences.
Therefore, according to common sense, even if Zhou Zheng bites his head, he will send troops to the north. There is no reason to be anticlimactic.
Chen Hualong’s voice was even more agitated, saying: "Queen dowager, Weichen thought that Zhou Zhengyun might have a problem with the delay of the Ming army in Liaodong. As far as Weichen knew, the Ming people were afraid of me, and the Northern Expedition was met with ups and downs. Everyone’s opposition is entirely driven by Zhou Zhengyun. Now Lu Xiangsheng is delaying, maybe the opposition has the upper hand, Zhou Zhengyun may lose power!"
Xiaozhuang has been calm, but at the end of hearing, his expression suddenly changed and said, "Really?"
Zhou Zheng has always been their biggest and most dangerous enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Their fall in the Qing Dynasty to the present level is entirely due to Zhou Zheng, and even the Emperor Xian is deeply jealous! If Zhou Zheng loses power, it is simply their great fortune!
Chen Hualong looked affirmative and said, "Yes. We can send someone to investigate the situation of the imperial court while staring at Liaodong. If the Northern Expedition cannot end in May, we can basically conclude."
Xiaozhuang suddenly looked at Ji'erhalang and said, "Prince Zheng, what do you think?"
Ji'erhalang also frowned deeply and said, "Procrastination in battle is indeed a tactical taboo. It stands to reason that neither Zhou Zheng nor Lu Xiangsheng would make such a mistake. There must be some reason. If you want to know, you can also like Chen Hualong. Say, sit and watch the changes."
Xiaozhuang frowned, looked thoughtful, and said, "Could this be the conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty? Our food won't last long. If they drag on like this, we will be defeated by ourselves."
Chen Hualong immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "Queen dowager, the grain and grass in Shenyang can definitely last until June. If the Ming Dynasty does not send troops in June, then they will not send troops. Under the vent of morale, we will stand our heads and wait for work. , They only have a picture of defeat!"
Dai Shan glanced at Chen Hualong, his expression increasingly unhappy.
This man speaks righteously, which seems to make sense, but he is deeply disgusted by a martial artist like him.
Ji'erhalang also remained silent. Chen Hualong's words were of course problematic, but they really did not have a better way to deal with it. If they sent troops to attack the Ming army, it might prompt the Ming army to fight decisively.
Seeing Ji'erhalang, Xiaozhuang also acquiesced, nodded slightly, and said, "Prince Zheng, I will leave everything to you."
Ji'erhalang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry about your mother."
Chen Hualong was not reconciled, and said: "The Queen Mother, the minister did not help."
Xiaozhuang looked at Chen Hualong, paused for a moment, and said, "Leave it to Chen Aiqing to coordinate."
Chen Hualong was overjoyed and said: "The minister abides by the edict!" (End of this chapter)
