In Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen stood in front of the window holding a teacup, his eyes full of thinking.
According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, the Sinji Edict seems to be related to some nobles and wealthy businessmen.
There seemed to be disagreements within the Kong family, but Yiyan Shenggong's lineage occupied a dominant position.
"That's all, let's wait until after the war to discuss this matter!"
Outside Dongnuan Pavilion, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli were walking side by side, with excitement, excitement, and heaviness on their faces.
As he walked, Sun Chengzong glanced around and whispered: "Brother Liqing, why do I always feel that your Majesty knew that Jiannu was going to take a detour to attack Longjing Pass a few months ago?"
When Yuan Keli heard this, his steps suddenly stopped and his eyes looked around.
"Zhisheng, you are in it, but you haven't thought carefully about the causes and consequences.
It’s not that His Majesty knew that Jian Nu would attack Ming Dynasty a few months ago, but that His Majesty was leading all of this, forcing Jian Nu to attack Ming Dynasty! "
"Did His Majesty force you to do so?"
Sun Chengzong was stunned and stopped immediately.
"Zhisheng, His Majesty has been on the throne for almost a year. What he has done in the past year is that he is a reckless and impulsive person?
Absolutely not!
Your Majesty has a big picture, a big mind, is more down-to-earth in doing practical things, and cares about the sufferings of the people.
But why did the article "I Have a Dream" suddenly appear when Wei Zhongxian was being eradicated?
His Majesty probably has already started planning from that time. "
After Yuan Keli reminded him, Sun Chengzong instantly remembered. He remembered that when he met His Majesty for the first time, he had persuaded the Emperor,
It is said that Your Majesty has great ambitions and should lie dormant for a few years. He should not be so public and attract the attention of many foreign enemies.
At that time, the emperor just smiled, but now it seems that the emperor probably did it on purpose.
Based on the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time, even if Huang Taiji knew about it, he would just laugh it off, because those dreams were just nonsense.
Being young and frivolous will make them look down upon him, and Ming will secretly accumulate strength.
If we take it seriously, the Guan Ning defense line will block it anyway, and Jiannu will not be able to get in, and it can also arouse the morale of the people who share the same hatred of the enemy.
"Zhisheng, honestly speaking, even if Shaanxi suffered a major disaster, is it the right time to return the land to the people?
Even if the eight major locust merchants collaborate with the enemy, are they worthy of the emperor's visit? The destruction of the eight major locust merchants cut off one of Jiannu's supplies.
Then in Datong, Chahar Lindan Khan and the Jiannu coalition forces were plotted, which caused heavy losses to the Jiannu and completely angered the Jiannu.
When he came back, he released three more strategies against Jiannu, all of which were to attack the snake and draw out the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, which made Jiannu even worse.
Why did potatoes, a magical creature, invite tens of thousands of people to watch it and cause such a fuss before it was fully revealed? Aren't you afraid of someone causing trouble?
There are also Tengxiang Zuowei and Baigan soldiers who have been secretly hiding a few months ago, as well as the British public officer who was inexplicably transferred to Shanhaiguan to take charge.
Oh, by the way, there is also Yuan Chonghuan. Even if Yuan Chonghuan speaks unabashedly, he is still the Governor of Ji Liao.
How is it possible that someone with such an identity could directly enter the Palace Supervisor of the Fifth Army? It was probably to make Huang Taiji relax his vigilance. "
Every time Yuan Keli said something, the look of shock on Sun Chengzong's face deepened.
"As for why we forced the Jiannu to attack at this juncture, it was to undermine the prestige of the Jiannu and divide the various Mongolian tribes.
In other words, His Majesty needs a big victory to break the deadlock in the Ming Dynasty and gain the most favorable opportunity to return the land to the people, abolish the nobles, collect taxes from merchants, etc. "
Yuan Keli's words were full of wonder.
If the emperor hadn't said that Tengxiang Zuowei and Baiganbing had been hiding a few months ago, he wouldn't have linked everything together.
Now it seems that the emperor's purpose of hoeing here and there is very clear.
After a while, Sun Chengzong digested the facts Yuan Keli said and sighed: "With good means, good calculation, and good courage, His Majesty played a big game of chess and kept us all in the dark!"
"Of course, the less people know about this, the better. I guess, except for the cooperating Jin Yiwei commander Li Ruolian who made some guesses,
Even Cao Wenzhao and Zhongzhenhou, the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, didn't know why the emperor sent them to hide. "
"Brother Liqing, we are all old!"
"You are over sixty, how can you not age? However, with your Majesty's ambition, I have to live for another ten years."
Yuan Keli's eyes burst out with endless fighting spirit: "This battle may be the greatest external victory of the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years.
As long as all the Jiannu coalition forces are wiped out and the remaining Jiannu forces are used, the Ming Dynasty will have stability for at least a few years.
With your Majesty's structure and our assistance, the first five-year plan can be fully implemented. Ming Dynasty will no longer be afraid of any foreign enemies. The establishment of slaves is a joke.
Maybe all the dreams in your Majesty's article can really come true. By then, it will not be the prosperous age of Chongzhen, but the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty. "
After Yuan Keli sighed with emotion, he looked at Sun Chengzong: "Zhisheng, I will set off tomorrow morning, and I will leave the logistics to you!"
"Brother Liqing, don't worry. I'll take care of everything. Let's go and fight!"
In the evening, Wang Chengen came to report that Hu Dawei and Meng Ruhu were back.
Chongzhen met the two people who had been separated for nearly two months in Dongnuan Pavilion. At this moment, the two people were more calm.
"How's it going over there in Yansui?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief Zhu has completely taken control of Yansui Town and is currently reducing the number of soldiers. Although their combat effectiveness is a bit low, they are absolutely obedient!"
"good!"
Chongzhen was very satisfied: "We have called you two back for an important task!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
"Yuan Keli is about to go on a business trip. The danger is extremely high. You and I should bring some people to escort him and protect his safety. You must obey his orders completely!
If there is a conflict between his safety and what he is doing, I order you to put his safety first! "
"I understand!"
The faces of the two people were extremely serious. Emperor Liubaili hurriedly recalled them from Yansui just to protect Yuan Keli, which clearly showed the danger of this trip.
"Now you two go to Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and ask him to demonstrate to you the methods and precautions for using the palm thunder and the sky thunder.
Ask him to give each of you ten palm thunders and one sky-shattering thunder to defend yourself. "
"I understand!"
After a few brief exchanges, the two quickly left.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Chongzhen's heart calmed down a little.
With their superb martial arts skills, coupled with the self-defense of palm thunder and thunder thunder, Yuan Keli's safety is guaranteed.
Calling them back was not only to protect Yuan Keli's safety, but also to give them an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
As long as the two of them can perform meritorious service, with the title of top three martial arts champion, they can be given to a thousand households, commanding colleagues, and they can be considered as having useful people under their command.
The day after Yuan Keli left secretly, Man Gui, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu Mansion, was handling official duties at the General Military Mansion when he heard the guard say that the Jinyi Guards were asking for an audience.
