Just as Zhu Ling, Wang Jiayan and others were studying how to send troops to attack Ma Shiying, the Jin Yiwei suddenly came outside and shouted loudly, all the way to the palace. The Jin Yiwei guarding outside the door immediately stopped him, and the former immediately handed over the general's report.
The reporter immediately took it, then turned around and handed it to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen took it and handed it to Zhu Ling. After Zhu Ling glanced at it briefly, he immediately laughed loudly with a look of joy.
Naturally, Wang Jiayan and Shi Kefa were a little surprised by this appearance. They didn't know what content in the military newspaper could make His Majesty, who had not smiled for a long time, so happy. When the two took it over, they looked at the content carefully and couldn't help but wonder.
They all looked happy.
"Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty can be saved! The Ming Dynasty is not exhausted yet!"
The two of them shouted loudly, naturally ecstatic when facing such great news.
"Hahaha! Yes, we have been working hard for two months, and finally we can see the results of our hard work." Zhu Ling was also very happy. This news was too timely for the current Ming Dynasty. The court was in a dilemma before.
We have been arguing for a long time, and now a problem is suddenly solved automatically. How can we not be happy?
"The intruders suddenly want to negotiate for peace. I think Jian Nu has gone south again!" Wang Jiayan immediately analyzed after feeling a little happy. He could tell from this news that Li Zicheng was now in a dilemma, and the difficulty was even greater.
Even more difficult than the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, he had no choice.
"Yes." Zhu Ling also recalled the bad memories. It was the Ming Dynasty's eternal pain for establishing slaves. "The ambition to establish slaves has been revealed. Although they were once a group of uncivilized people, they have gradually become less civilized in the past few decades."
The land has developed, and until now, even our Ming Dynasty has been losing ground. I have to say that the Ming Dynasty really has to learn from them in some aspects."
"The source of the disaster is also in my Ming Dynasty. They were only a dozen people before. They grew up rapidly with the trust and support of the imperial court. Now they are attacking us! A group of ungrateful people! We will kill them all without hesitation.
!" Wang Chenen, who was on the sidelines, also felt extremely disgusted with what Jian Nu had done.
"Does Your Majesty mean to agree?" Shi Kefa asked immediately.
Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhu Ling's lips. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Wouldn't it be a pity if we just agreed like this? You know, they forced us to negotiate a peace before, and we endured the humiliation and gave them money.
What a coward, now that they are encountering difficulties and want to negotiate peace with us, do we have to agree?"
After hearing His Majesty's words, everyone immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to give Li Zicheng a hard blow!
"Your Majesty!" Wang Jiayan immediately stood up and said with his hands raised: "Why not let them give up the occupation of our Beizhili?"
After hearing what Wang Jiayan said, Zhu Ling thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong: "If we regain Beizhili, wouldn't it mean that we would have to fight Jiannu again? In this way, the pressure on Li Zicheng would be less. We only have to
It would be unwise to suffer greater losses in order to regain land."
After hearing this, Wang Jiayan immediately felt that this method was not appropriate.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Shi Kefa did not agree with this view and immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty believes that if we regain Beizhili, we will fight against Jiannu again, which will be a pressure on our army, and
It is a good thing for intruders. However, Chen believes that Jiannu is a foreign enemy. Whenever his family is quarreling and encounters aggression from outsiders, they will fight the outsiders out with the same hatred. Nowadays, Jiannu attempts to
To disrupt China, even if internal strife breaks out, foreign enemies will always be foreign enemies, and Han people will always be Han people!"
Those words immediately left everyone present speechless. They just felt that the pattern of their thoughts just now was a bit too small.
"Giving up Beizhili can not only prove to the people that our Ming Dynasty is united in dealing with the outside world even at such a critical moment of life and death! There will be no internal strife. This will definitely make the people have a better image of the Ming Dynasty, and it can also strengthen the strength of our army and prevent it from being lost.
They were just fighting a bunch of bandits."
"Very good!"
When Zhu Ling heard such remarks, he couldn't help but feel that Shi Kefa's idea did have a lot of truth.
"But even so, we can't use all our strength. We can help, we can attack, but we can't go out of the city to fight in the field without permission, and we can't easily fight against the slaves!"
While several people were talking, Li Yan, the envoy representing Dashun, accompanied by Zhu Dadian and his party, finally arrived in Yanzhou.
As soon as we arrived at Yanzhou City Gate, we saw city walls that were many times taller and city gates that were dozens of times thicker. We couldn't help but be stunned. As the carriage slowly entered the city, we saw wide roads and lively and orderly streets.
, there were cries and cheerful noises everywhere.
Most of the people's faces had expressions of satisfaction and joy, and their unrestrained appearance filled Yanzhou Mansion with a lively feeling.
"Is this Yanzhou?"
Li Yan never dared to think that less than a month ago, a war broke out here. A large-scale battle between 100,000 people, corpses were scattered in front of the city, and wails and screams resounded in the sky of Yanzhou Prefecture. Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and people were killed.
It started everywhere, but suddenly it changed drastically not long after. It’s really unbelievable.
Hearing Li Yan's exclamation, Zhu Dadian couldn't help but chuckle. The thieves were indeed thieves, and they could only confine themselves to attacking cities and rebelling. Facing such a majestic city and extremely lively streets, it was like a
Country people who have never seen the world.
"What? Haven't you seen it before?"
Li Yan, who had been looking at the surrounding streets, was naturally fixated and replied: "I'm just surprised why a war broke out here not long ago, and it has changed drastically in less than a month. This is a bit incredible!"
Hearing Li Yan's words, Zhu Dadian also looked very proud, and then said: "These are all your Majesty's credit! Except for the corpses of our soldiers, all the corpses of the rest were burned to avoid the outbreak of the plague. Some Yanzhou Mansion Temples were demolished
The materials used to build the houses of corrupt officials were used to reinforce and heighten the city walls. Most of King Lu's fiefdoms were distributed to the people so that they could have fields to farm. No taxes were collected for the first three years, and very little was collected in the future.
"
"Your Majesty, why is it not so?"
Yes, if we had been against the people, they would not have rebelled. It's just a pity that the Chongzhen of the past is no longer the Chongzhen of today, and we can only lament the wasted fate.
Following a burst of sadness, the carriage carrying Li Yan and Zhu Dadian soon arrived at Prince Lu's Mansion.
Under the search of the Jinyi guards at the door, Li Yan slowly entered the hall accompanied by Zhu Dadian and a group of guards. At this time, Zhu Ling was leading the crowd to wait for Li Yan's arrival.
When Li Yan slowly entered the hall, he looked at His Majesty sitting above him. He was wearing a black gauze Yishan crown and a red dragon robe, with a solemn expression. In fact, at this moment, Li Yan really wanted to kneel down.
He was once a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he also wanted to become a minister and serve the Ming Dynasty.
But, by some mistake, he became an enemy.
"Li Yan, the envoy of Dashun, meets with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
