() The next day, it was three o'clock in the morning, and Zhong Jinwei woke up. Hey, I didn't even know what time we talked last night before falling asleep. I wonder if Archie got up? So, he shouted from the air: "Archie, Archie
, are you up yet?"
The door opened in response, and Archie came in from the outside and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master, are you getting up? I will go and prepare you to wash up."
Zhong Jinwei said: "Ah, you got up early. You really don't know how to enjoy happiness. Do you know what are the two great pleasures in life?" Aqi was a little curious and asked in cooperation: "What are the two great pleasures? My slave seems to be listening.
They are talking about three great things."
Zhong Jinwei said: "You don't understand. I told you that the two greatest pleasures in life are: sleeping until you wake up naturally; second, counting money until your hands cramp." Archie blinked and said: "The first
This slave can understand. Secondly, if you count money until your hands cramp, you will be happy. If you are not stupid enough, how can you count copper coins? Just silver, or else, gold. How can you count until your hands cramp? Because after a night
Through our chats, we got closer, so I dared to raise questions.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he said, ah, I forgot, there are no banknotes at this time. His mind turned around and he said a little bit: "Count the banknotes." After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and got up quickly, so as not to be affected by the times next time.
It's different. I was questioned by the little beauty. It seems that the first thing is to start from reality and understand the current actual situation. It seems that the great man once said, "Everything should be based on reality!"
Some people were happy and some were worried. Zhong Jinwei was feeling happy because he slept until he woke up naturally. On the other hand, Emperor Chongzhen received bad news after approving all the instructions for the morning.
When Wang Chengen showed him the memorial, he threw it to the ground and roared angrily: "Yuan Manzi has failed me and acted so boldly. Did he take me into consideration? You say it, my dear companion, you say, in his eyes
Is there still me?"
When Wang Chengen received this memorial, he had anticipated Emperor Chongzhen's rage. He could not follow Emperor Chongzhen's wishes and say: Yes, Yuan Manzi is so bold that he does not take His Majesty seriously. Just when he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen had already
Ignoring him, he continued to roar: "Even if Mao Wenlong is evil and heinous, he can still be escorted to the capital for punishment. My left governor, wearing the general's seal and receiving Shang Fang's sword, a first-class military attache, was killed by him privately. Killed.
After that, come back and tell me that you should not commit suicide privately, and ask for punishment. He is asking for punishment, it is simply a naked threat to me. He is so arrogant because of his favor, do you really think that I dare not punish him?"
Wang Chengen did not dare to make a sound and looked down at the ground, intending to let Emperor Chongzhen vent his anger first. After a while, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and sat on the imperial stool. He murmured to himself: "I really don't dare to vent my anger."
How is he?" Then, he sighed helplessly. Seeing that the time had come, Wang Chengen stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Mr. Zhong to come and ask for advice?"
Emperor Chongzhen raised his head sharply, stared at Wang Chengen and said: "That's right, if it hadn't been for my companion's reminder, I would have fainted with anger. Hurry up, no, put the car away immediately, I will go there myself."
Based on the inconvenience mentioned last night, Zhong Jinwei told Aqi after dinner and asked her to find someone to make two things: one is a big wooden board. If there is no big wooden board, you can use several wooden boards to put it together. One side must be
It is very smooth. After it is done, put the ink on it and dye the smooth side completely black. This is called a blackboard; the other is chalk, just take some lime powder, add water and form it into fingers.
As soon as he gave the order, Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by Wang Chengen, arrived in a hurry. As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard what he meant, his thoughts turned out to be true.
Zhong Jinwei thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, things have happened. There is no point in being angry or anxious. Let's first analyze the consequences of this incident, and then talk about how to solve it."
Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei was not in a hurry or panic, so he calmed down immediately and followed Zhong Jinwei's suggestion. Zhong Jinwei took out a map of China, then pointed to the terrain in the northeast and said: "Your Majesty, please see, in the past, the Jurchen Tatars
As long as the main force attacks the front line of Jinzhou, or wants to bypass Jinzhou and attack Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, it will have to risk being harassed by Mao Wenlong in the rear, unless he leaves enough troops in the rear. But the Jurchen Tatars only have a few people in total.
With a small number of people, there will be no threat to Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, or even Jinzhou. As long as their main force has been out for a long time, Mao Wenlong will definitely know the emptiness behind the Jurchen Tatars. Therefore, the Jurchen Tatars cannot stay too far away from their home base for too long.
It's the containment effect of Mao Wenlong's army. This is a strategic advantage. But now, what kind of town is this?" Wang Chengen added on the side: "Dongjiang Town."
Zhong Jinwei smiled sheepishly at Wang Chengen, and then continued: "This is Dongjiang Town, which was founded by Mao Wenlong and had a high prestige. It died just like that. Even if Yuan Chonghuan's hands and eyes are as good as the sky, he wants to re-activate the containment function of Dongjiang Town.
, it is impossible without enough time, especially his ability to arrange people to replace Mao Wenlong is a test. According to my history at that time, Dongjiang Town was finished. Not only did it not have a restraining effect, but in the end several traitors came out.
, are the three people I told His Majesty before. Although they are Han warriors, they are capable and they only serve Mao Wenlong. The people behind them cannot suppress them at all."
Zhong Jinwei said this, paused for a moment, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully and referring to the map. Then he continued: "During this period, Huang Taiji has enough time to dispatch his main force for a major battle.
.According to historical records, he bypassed the Ningjin defense line, probably came in from Zunhua, and attacked the capital."
Wang Chengen had doubts at this time and couldn't help but ask: "How did the slave chief know that he could invade from Zunhua, so he was not afraid that after traveling thousands of miles, he found that Zunhua was also made of iron and could not be defeated, so he returned in panic. At this time
, the Ming Dynasty cavalry chased them all the way, how many men and horses can be returned?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head and said: "I don't know about this. In my history, he just came over. Is there still a difference between this history and my history?"
Emperor Chongzhen was not sure that Jianlu would take great risks to attack Zunhua. He paused and asked Zhong Jinwei: "In the current situation, what strategy should I take?"
Zhong Jinwei thought for a while and said: "Resurrect Sun Chengzong and replace Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan has no king's laws and kills generals privately. He must be held accountable to prevent others from following suit and has no court. In addition, Lu Xiangsheng is appointed to take over Dongjiang Town."
Emperor Chongzhen listened and was silent for a long time. Zhong Jinwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen. After a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Yuan Chonghuan holds my most elite Guan Ning cavalry in his hand. If I accuse him, I will never accuse him."
Once he fell to Jianlu, the Shanhaiguan defense line was wide open, and Jianlu could reach the capital directly without taking a detour. There was no army nearby that could compete. Moreover, Sun Chengzong was Yuan Chonghuan's mentor, and he single-handedly promoted Yuan Chonghuan to come up and press you
I mean, I concealed the evidence of Yuan Chonghuan’s crimes before, so I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to accept questioning Yuan Chonghuan.”
Zhong Jinwei said: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this old man, Sun Chengzong. Historically speaking, Mr. Sun's stance on major issues of right and wrong is firm, and he died heroically in the end, which is admirable."
Emperor Chongzhen listened without saying a word, and after a while, he asked Wang Chengen, "What do you think of your companion?" Since he knew that Wang Chengen was accompanying him on the road, he asked Wang Chengen more often when something happened.
Wang Chengen thought for a moment and did not answer directly: "Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong is dead and cannot be resurrected."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly. On one side was a possible history, with some unreasonable parts, and on the other side was a very possible situation. Emperor Chongzhen sighed slightly in his heart, I don't dare to take risks!
Looking at the faces of Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, Zhong Jinwei guessed that his suggestion might not be adopted, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. However, one thing was really strange: Huang Taiji was really so confident that after going around thousands of miles, he could still survive when he was tired and his horse was tired.
Do you have the strength to defeat the Ming army in a hundred battles? It’s not like you have suffered losses from the Qi Jiajun and the Baigan soldiers before. They are also hard nails!
Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind, so he stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Mr. Zhong, I also have something to hide. I have to weigh it carefully before making a decision. Is the Lu Xiangsheng you mentioned a talent?
I will ask my senior companion to check it out. If you have any questions or needs, just ask and I will ask my senior companion to handle it for you. I still have many memorials to deal with, so I won’t disturb you sir."
Speaking of this, Zhong Jinwei didn't know what to say. Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, although there may be historical deviations, it is always good to be just in case. It is better to send someone to warn you."
Over there?"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then said to Wang Chengen: "Mr. Zhong's proposal is very good, you can arrange this matter." Wang Chengen bowed and said: "Promise!"
When Emperor Chongzhen turned around and walked to the door, Zhong Jinwei remembered a proposal he had seen on the Internet before, so he quickly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Emperor Chongzhen turned around, looked at Zhong Jinwei doubtfully and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Jinwei said: "If your Majesty still wants to let Yuan Chonghuan go, not hold him accountable, or even praise him, he might as well do it in the name of the Ministry of War or the cabinet, so that he can have a way out in the future and make it easier to explain to Mao Wenlong.
.”
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand." Then he turned and left. When Wang Chengen followed Emperor Chongzhen out, he made another comment to Zhong Jinwei in his heart: The old man is indeed very cunning.
