Emperor Chongzhen looked at it, frowned and thought carefully, and then said: "Could this be..." Random eyes lit up: "Are you trying to..."
Chang Yu smiled: "Is that possible?"
Emperor Chongzhen clapped his fist: "It's unexpected, it's amazing, it's amazing, it will happen!"
At this time, Prince Zhu Cixi also came to his senses and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wonderful, this is a great move, but maybe Li Chuang's side..."
"He is happy to do anything that can achieve meritorious service by just beating gongs and drums." Chang Yu smiled faintly.
Emperor Chongzhen was so excited that he paced back and forth in the palace: "When can we take action?"
"We are in the process of making arrangements. I'm trying to scare the thief to stop him from arranging these things. Once the matters at hand are dealt with, we can start. Your Majesty, please rest assured that the head of the thief's dog will be available before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year at the latest."
"Next year's Mid-Autumn Festival," Emperor Chongzhen muttered, "it will take so long to wait."
"Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal," Chang Yu said.
Emperor Chongzhen hummed: "They say you are good at drawing cakes, but don't draw cakes for me." He then asked: "What you are talking about is the matter at hand... By the way, why did you order Ma Ke to come out of seclusion? Could it be that something happened from Ningyuan?"
What happened, but Zu Dashou..."
After Zu Dashou was brought back, he was reinstated as admiral of Liaodong and stationed in Ningyuan to oversee the recovery of Jinzhou. However, Emperor Chongzhen had reservations about him. In fact, he no longer trusted this strong man who he had once trusted so much.
Logically speaking, people like Zu Dashou wanted to confiscate their families and exterminate their clans, but they were returned to their posts. This was very controversial in the court, but Emperor Chongzhen still gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure, just because Chang Yu trusted Zu Dashou.
And he trusts Chang Yu.
After Zu Dashou was exchanged, he still did not return to the capital to express his gratitude. He wrote memorials one after another, but he never said what he did there. He only talked about asking for money and food. This made Emperor Chongzhen and a group of ministers extremely disgusted.
, but now he has the military power to garrison the North Gate, and he has a history of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Although he was angry, he did not dare to reprimand him too much, for fear that his bastard team would surrender again, and they would suffer a huge loss at that moment, so many people were here.
Chang Yu had a lot of complaints about this incident, including Emperor Chongzhen, who always thought that Chang Yu's move was too risky.
So when he learned that Ma Ke led his troops out of the customs a few days ago, he was heartbroken. He asked Chunxiang what happened outside the customs, and when he learned that he was fine, he was filled with doubts.
"General Zu is extremely loyal and takes the recovery of Jinzhou as his own duty. He once said that if he recovers Jinzhou City, he will die without regrets!" Chang Yu said quickly. Emperor Chongzhen sneered at him for saying that Zu Dashou was loyal and loyal: "That's what he said.
What happened?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "The Tatars know our intentions, so how can they let us succeed easily? Even the conflict there has never stopped, but everything is still under control."
"If this is the case, why did Ma Ke go there?" Emperor Chongzhen was puzzled.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Nowadays, there are many pens in the dynasty, but the military generals are withering. When it comes to recruiting people, it is even more difficult to find generals. Ma Ke has handsome talents. Let him get up wherever he falls."
Emperor Chongzhen understood, nodded and said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River have retreated from the waves ahead. In the past few years, you have also played several powerful roles under your command. Tu Yuan and Ji Jike can both play their own roles."
Chang Yu smiled: "The experience is fair, but the qualifications are insufficient. The generals are all stable. It is not enough to just block one side. They still need experience and experience."
Emperor Chongzhen rolled his eyes: "It sounds like he is being modest, but in reality he is boasting about his talent as a general."
Chang Yu quickly bowed and said he didn't dare. The prince interrupted and joked: "I'm confused, why you don't need to go through the palace to become a handsome man."
Chang Yu didn't know how to answer this, so he kept silent, but he was very proud in his heart. Not everyone has talent.
"Talent" Emperor Chongzhen helped him express what was in his heart: "Throughout the ages, whether they are literati and poets who play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, or ink, or generals who are invincible in marching and fighting, they are all gifted. They are born with it. People without talents will not be able to do it."
No matter how hard you work, it will be in vain, just like the many general families that have produced a few real generals."
The prince wanted to say something else, but Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to stop him and brought the topic back: "There are already wars over there, wouldn't Ma Ke go over and add fuel to the fire? Are you doing this on purpose? Do you want to regain Jinzhou first, or do you want to?
Do both sides take action at the same time?"
Chang Yu thought for a while: "It would be too difficult for both sides to attack at the same time, but we do not rule out this possibility. However, we are not trying to attack Jinzhou at the moment. We just want to muddy the waters there."
"Oh, what are the benefits?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with a frown. Chang Yu smiled and looked at Zhu Cixiang: "Your Highness may have guessed it?"
Emperor Chongzhen knew that Chang Yu was testing Zhu Cihong, and he had the intention to do so, so he also looked at Zhu Cihong.
This made Zhu Cixiang a little nervous. He frowned and thought about it for a moment before imitating Chang Yu to draw on the paper. He murmured to himself: "I heard that the Tatars are also fighting among themselves now. Dorgon and the others are fighting for power.
We should not risk starting a war, and then use Jinzhou to balance the conflict, and even deliberately take the initiative to provoke us. Now we are attacking Jinzhou or provoking them, but in fact we are helping them unite... No..." Zhu Cixiang painted in the southeast of Jinzhou City
They formed a small circle and looked at Chang Yu: "It's easy to fish in troubled waters, so it's not just to take over North Korea."
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing. Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and thought for a while before looking at Chang Yu: "Is that true?"
Chang Yu nodded and then explained: "The battle at Ningyuan caused the Tatars to lose their vitality and the ministers used a divorce plan, so they have been fighting among themselves for the rest of the year and have no intention of doing anything else. This allows us to gain some time to relax for the rest of the year.
We are working hard to rebuild the fortifications, but the Tatars are also centipede insects and are not dead, not to mention they are still far from death, so they use Jinzhou to divert the conflict. If we attack Jinzhou, we can indeed unite them to fight against the outside world, but
We cannot stop regaining lost ground just because we are afraid that they will unite."
Chongzhen and his son were silent and listened to him continue: "If we attack Jinzhou now, they will resist with all their strength, because they have nothing to worry about, but if we take North Korea first..."
"Yes." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cixiang with approval in his eyes.
Although the younger brother of the Tatars in North Korea is not willing to give in, he is very honest and provides food, grass, soldiers and horses to the Tatars. You must know that when the Tatars attacked Jinzhou, many Korean devils participated.
Therefore, before attacking Jinzhou, cut off Dorgon's cannon fodder foreign aid. But if you take North Korea first, Dorgon will not stand by and watch his newly acquired brother fall into the hands of others. He will definitely send troops to rescue... In that case, Tian Jian
It would be extremely difficult for Xiu to conquer North Korea with three thousand soldiers and horses.
In this case, then attack Jinzhou first and focus Dorgon's attention on Jinzhou City, thereby covering Tian Jianxiu's capture of North Korea. Then without cannon fodder foreign aid, wouldn't it be easier to capture Jinzhou again? The worst
Dorgon was also worried that North Korea would send troops to seize his retreat.
"Every link is connected, it's wonderful, but you are not afraid of making a wedding dress for others?" Emperor Chongzhen's expression was solemn, Chang Yu smiled dullly: "He is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump around for much longer, Your Majesty. No need to worry”.
Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "I see that he is jumping very happily now."
"It's just a reflection of the light." Chang Yu's expression was relaxed. Seeing his expression, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Then let's wait and see..."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Queen has brought some snacks and said that she would give her a head start..."
Well, Emperor Chongzhen just realized it. It was already past noon before he knew it. It was okay if he didn't mention it. He felt hungry immediately after mentioning it. Empress Zhou didn't come here to bring snacks. She was here to remind them that they had to eat. This was another time. It's just a reminder to eat, I'm here to see Chang Yu.
As a monarch and a family member, Emperor Chongzhen's family no longer regarded Chang Yu as an outsider. This kindness was unparalleled and made countless people envious of him. They immediately held a family banquet in Qianqing Palace, which could be regarded as a blessing for Chang Yu. , and Princess Kunxing will naturally come too.
