Ming Zuo

Chapter 536 The child is dead and the milk is coming

The word "send troops" got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say it
The ministers are pressing each other, and the world is in awe.

Chongzhen suddenly found out that he was sitting on wax.

He already had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the situation in Shandong through the information of Jin Yiwei.

Even if he doesn't know anything about military affairs, he also understands that with the current situation of the imperial court, once troops are sent out, it will be a disaster.

But now so many people are urging him, if he doesn't send troops, what will happen to the emperor's prestige?
What about the majesty of the court?
At the critical moment, Wen Tiren stepped forward.

"My colleagues don't know. Your Majesty and the imperial court have long been aware of the Shandong matter. Today's Zuo Ni and Dongjiang rebels are fighting together, which is a good opportunity to drive away tigers and consume each other. No matter who wins among them, it will be inevitable. The strength has been greatly damaged. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the imperial court should use heavy troops in Shanxi to wipe out the northwestern bandits. At that time, the imperial army will use the momentum of thunder to sweep the hole and pacify Shandong. What's more, the Zuo Ni revealed a huge Flaws, His Majesty and the court have already planned. Soon, Zuo Ni will become a beast in a cage. When he is ready to be captured, I will thank the world."

A censor stood up and asked the bottom line.

"Dare to ask Mr. Wen Ge, what's the plan?"

Wen Tiren's face turned cold, and he scolded angrily: "How can you announce military secrets to the public?"

The censor was embarrassed, knowing that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly retreated into the crowd.

Seeing Wen Tiren stand up and turn the situation around with a few words, Chongzhen was full of gratitude.

Looking at Zhou Yanru, who was like a quail, on the other side, the balance of the two heads of civil servants in the emperor's mind had tilted.

..................................................................

Zhangde Mansion.

Xie Wenju left the barracks on the pretext of hunting.

He is like the emperor of the earth, and no one dares to ask him what he does.

In the dense forest on the outskirts of the city, after waiting anxiously, he dived high and arrived.

The matter was of great importance, and the great eunuch also worked hard, and he ran hundreds of miles in just three days.

"Gao Gonggong, what is it that is so urgent?"

Gao Qiqian didn't care about being tired, and explained Zuo Menggeng's rebellion in detail, which caused Xie Wenju to be astonished.

"Doesn't that mean that this Zuo Liangyu..."

A ruthless look flashed in Gao Qiqian's eyes.

"Then Zuo Menggeng kept all the secrets, planned such a fatal thing, and let Zuo Liangyu roam around. Just hold Zuo Liangyu in your hands, and don't worry about Zuo Menggeng not submitting."

Seeing Xie Wenju's hesitant expression, Gao Qiqian couldn't help warning: "Old Xie, we are not outsiders. For such a big matter, don't be confused and be fooled by mere money."

Xie Wenju regained his composure, knowing that he had misunderstood.

"Eunuch Gao doesn't know who our family is? It's just that Zuo Liangyu, our family knows a little better."

Gao Qiqian remained silent, waiting for Xie Wenju to speak up.

"When our family first came here to supervise the army, we happened to encounter a strange thing..."

At the moment, Xie Wenju explained the contradictions between Zuo's father and son one by one.

"The relationship between Zuo's father and son is quite filthy, and there is no filial piety at all. Especially after the old servant disappeared, Zuo Liangyu even threatened to kill them all after returning."

Gao Qiqian's eyes are full of splendor.

"Hahahaha, the world is so big, there are no surprises. This father and son turned against each other because of a marriage. It's no wonder that Zuo Menggeng has such a flaw in his ambition to be a hero. Once it spreads, I'm afraid people in the world will be drowned in their saliva. killed him."

Xie Wenju nodded, with a weird and perverted smile all over his face.

"Instead of arresting Zuo Liangyu and using it to threaten Zuo Menggeng, I think it's better to use the conflict between their father and son. It will get twice the result with half the effort."

Gao Qiqian thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that what he said made sense.

"This is a big matter, and we can't make the decision. We must immediately send a letter to Beijing, and let the emperor make a decision."

The two old eunuchs decided to settle down for the time being, and did not immediately attack Zuo Liangyu.

They believed that once Chongzhen knew about this situation, he would definitely make a big fuss.

It can't be said that the two people who ran this matter have done a great job
....................................

Lushun.

It's spring already.

Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang stood by the pier, waiting for the fleet from the south.

To their surprise, Zhang Yan, the head of the logistics department, came in person.

"What wind brought you, a big minister, here?"

Zhang Yan got off the boat and said with a smile: "I heard that you were climbing ice and sleeping in the snow in Liaodong. I, who is in charge of logistics, can't eat and can't sleep at night. I have to come and see for myself how miserable you are." ?”

The Huangshan tiger has black lines all over its head.

"Why do I listen... You came to see our jokes?"

Zhang Yan didn't deny it either.

"Now the whole army is joking, saying that you have been dispatched. How about it, does it feel good to be trapped in an isolated city?"

Fu Gang, the political commissar, completely lost his composure.

"I haven't fought a battle in three months, and I can't go out to practice every day, so I'm so idle."

Zhang Yan first cared about the military situation.

"How about the Jinzhou Guard in the north? Did the Tartars ever send troops to fight?"

The two chief officers of the Northward Advance Detachment shook their heads together.

"It seems that something big happened to the Tartars. Three batches of soldiers from the Jinzhou Guard left the city and headed north. According to observations, the current strength of the city is less than a thousand. If we intend to attack, we will definitely be able to take it within two days."

Zhang Yan hastily warned.

"You don't have enough troops. Even if you take down the Jinzhou Guard, you won't be able to defend it once you attract a large army of Tartars. It's better to stay on Lushun's side and rely on the region to be more sure."

Huang Sanhu was on the front line, so of course he understood the importance better.

"The summary report from our side has been sent over years ago. I wonder if the military department will respond?"

Only then did Zhang Yan remember that he had informed them of the military reform.

"At present, our army has completed the restructuring, and the military department has been upgraded to the command department, and the attendance is also the commander-in-chief."

Huang Shanhu was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "Then how do we arrange the advance detachment?"

Zhang Yan jokingly said: "You are still the advance detachment, under the direct control of the headquarters. But Bai Xiaoqi is already the deputy commander of the First Army."

Huang Sanhu exploded on the spot.

"No... why? He, Bai Xiaoqi, is the attendant... the commander-in-chief's son? Why are all good things his?"

After teasing enough, Zhang Yancai said: "You are not without benefits."

The things on the ship began to be removed one by one, and soon piled up on the pier.

Zhang Yan took a box and opened it on the spot, inside was a pile of shiny black leather boots lying side by side.

He took out a pair and handed them to Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang.

"Years ago, you reported the bitter cold in Liaodong, and the cotton shoes were unusable. The commander was very concerned about this, and ordered the ARTISTRY shoe factory to conduct research and come up with such thicker and warmer leather boots. Try it, how does it work?"

Fu Gang didn't try.

Touching the thick fluff inside the leather boots, he smiled wryly.

"No, it's spring and the weather is getting warmer, so the shoes are brought here. This doesn't mean the child is dead. Did the milk just come?"

Huang Sanhu also complained constantly.

"Your logistics department is getting more and more lazy in doing things, don't you know what it means to be in a hurry?"

Zhang Yan was not happy anymore.

"Do you think it doesn't take time to do things? Do you know how long it took to design this shoe? Besides, if you can't wear it now, you can wait until next winter."

Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang's expressions changed drastically.

"Are we going to stay here until next winter?"

Thinking that the other brothers' teams were winning battles and making great strides, but they could only be bored here, both of them felt like crying.

Zhang Yan also knew that the teasing had gone too far, so he quickly made amends.

"Don't be impatient. Have you forgotten our rules? In my opinion, your duties will end this spring at the latest. Once the Tartars don't come to attack, I'm afraid you will be transferred back. The high command has already made a plan, and you have to Expand the two armies. Congratulations, I am afraid that this benefit will be indispensable to you."

Knowing the plan of the command headquarters, Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang immediately turned their worries into joy.

"Come here, let us take a good look, what good things did you bring?"
