Although Yang Sichang's actions were very concealed and only informed the presidents of the royal guilds in various places, there were so many royal guilds in various provinces of the Ming Dynasty, so many presidents.

The Intelligence Department has bribed more than a dozen presidents of the Royal Society. Although the old Ming forces generally resisted Zhao Yan, not all old forces were willing to fight against Zhao Yan.

Many people have already seen that the Ming Dynasty is now at a time to change its dynasty.

Zhao Yan's Shandong political axe has long been too big, and it is constantly eroding the Ming Dynasty, and is actively expanding and constantly expanding itself.

Mingting basically has no chance of winning.

One chaos and one governance is a common concept among Chinese people. Change of dynasties is just a normal phenomenon in everyone's opinion. Many people are glad that Shandong has won the world by political axe.

Shandong has a clean government and integrity, and Zhao Yan loves the people as much as his son. He has some bottom line in everything. For example, although Zheng Zhilong was defeated by Zhao Yan, Zheng Zhilong is still living a wealthy family life in Fujian.

The most controversial upper classes who turned to support Zhao Yan were Zhao Yan's methods of governing the country. The originally chaotic world was pacified by him in less than ten years.

Jianlu, Mongolian capital fell, and Japan also fell. The bandits were beaten so hard that they dared not emerge again, and they all tried to strode to the government army.

Many of the upper classes of the Ming Court have already had some contact with Shandong, and many of them even moved to Shandong for development.

Although Shandong Zhengfu banned traditional vested interests, it has cultivated a large number of new vested interests, and the vested class of new interests is mainly military groups and industrial and commercial classes.

At the same time, the literati trained in Shandong are also vested in new interests.

Although Zhao Yan was already a thorn in the eyes of the old class of power at this time, the situation was not that bad, and a large part of them still recognized Zhao Yan's approach.

Moreover, the regulatory policies issued by Zhao Yan have never been unreasonable, and each policy is implemented with a basis.

As the situation is about to be revolted, some old classes of forces choose to move closer to Zhao Yan. As for whether their own interests are shaken, this is no longer a matter of consideration.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yan's actions at Zhaojiabao were as insightful as ever to see Chongzhen.

"The emperor can't help it." Zhao Quan concluded, "It will definitely take action soon, and the young master must be careful."

"Although the 300,000 Beijing camp in his hand seems to be strong, it is no longer our opponent. Precautions are needed, so that the armed police forces in various provinces will seal the royal guards' association." Zhao Yan naturally would not let Chongzhen's intention succeed. Although even if all the royal guards' associations are not afraid of pulling up tens of thousands of troops, the war will inevitably bring trauma and damage national strength!

At the same time, Zhao Yan sent a telegram to Chongzhen and asked: "What is your Majesty's intention this time? He attacked me from Shandong. It is known that the law has been violated."

The telegram was sent to the Forbidden City. Chongzhen looked pale after seeing it. Zhao Yan's meaning was obvious. If you violate the law, I can attack you at any time.

Yang Sichang was summoned to the Qianqing Palace in a hurry. When he saw the electricity, he exclaimed: "The wind is leaking!"

"What should I do?" Chongzhen asked with a dark face.

"This time I can only deny it." Yang Sichang said with a bitter face. He never expected that Zhao Yan would find out as soon as the order was sent.

"What's the use of denying it?" Chongzhen said angrily: "If he uses this as a quota to attack the capital, then he will succeed and defeat the enemy. Will I have any room for a turnaround? Isn't it just what he says?"

Yang Sichang was sweating coldly after hearing this.

At this moment, the little eunuch hurriedly ran in and reported: "Report to the Emperor, General Jianwei called."

Chongzhen quickly reached out and took the telegram submitted by the eunuch, spread it out and looked at it.

I saw it said:

"I have 800,000 troops. Does Your Majesty have a chance of victory? If a civil war begins, the people will be displaced and blood flows into a river, which will be a misfortune for the country. However, Your Majesty's 300,000 capital camps have been completed, and he said there must be a battle between you and my king and my ministers. Now this is the final plan, and you and I will not fight to make the country. I will use 20,000 troops to fight Your Majesty's 300,000 troops. If your Majesty is defeated, you will retreat. If Your Majesty is defeated, you will abdicate. In this way, the people will not be displaced, nor will the harmony between my king and my ministers."

After reading it, Chongzhen was stunned. Yang Sichang asked carefully. Chongzhen handed him the telegram. After reading it, Yang Sichang exclaimed: "Twenty thousand to 300,000? Does he think the Beijing camp is made of paper? He is so arrogant and too arrogant."

"I have a chance of winning against 300,000 yuan in Beijing and 20,000 yuan? Or is it because he has other plans?" Chongzhen asked suspiciously. Zhao Yan dared to make such crazy words, maybe he really has a killer weapon.

"Emperor, although the war between the Jing camp is not as good as the Shandong army, Sun Chuanting is good at training troops. The Jing camp has never deducted military pay and is definitely not afraid of death. 300,000 to 20,000 should be determined by how to fight. If the Shandong army seizes danger and defends, it will not be able to capture it for a long time. If both sides fight with great force, the Shandong army will be defeated."

"Your Majesty might as well ask for details first and then make a decision." Yang Sichang said.

"Okay, follow me to the cabinet to call Zhao Yan back, ask how to fight to the decisive battle, and then send someone to summon Sun Chuanting to meet him." Chongzhen ordered.

Soon, Chongzhen brought Yang Sichang and a group of eunuchs to the cabinet, and Sun Chuanting rushed over after receiving the call.

"Arrogant." Sun Chuanting was furious after reading the telegram sent by Zhao Yan. This was simply a naked contempt for him. Twenty thousand people wanted to defeat him 300,000?

The 300,000 Beijing camp was built by him for more than a year, and he also learned many methods from the Shandong army, such as ideological education, etc.

In terms of equipment, the 300,000 Beijing camps are well-equipped, with muskets and cannons all from the Shandong Army, and the spearmen and cavalry are all wearing plate armor.

Although the muskets used by the Shandong Army have been replaced and Sun Chuanting has also understood this point, the single musket is not enough to make up for the huge gap in military strength.

Soon Chongzhen sent a telegram to Zhaojiabao using the cabinet radio station, asking him how to fight to the decisive battle.

Zhao Yan quickly gave a reply.

His reply was: "Select a land with a vast view on the plain and evacuate the surrounding people. When the two sides agreed, they would enter the battlefield for arrangements on the third day before the war. I sent 20,000 troops to enter the battlefield."

After reading the telegram, Chongzhen said worriedly: "Has there ever been any fraud?"

"Your Majesty can promote this matter, and everyone in the world knows it. If it is really deceitful, it will be difficult to get rid of the tiger." Yang Sichang said. At this time, Chongzhen and the others also realized the important surname of public opinion, and if the power of public opinion is mobilized.

While Chongzhen was discussing with everyone, in just a quarter of an hour, Shandong sent another telegram. Zhao Yan said: "If your Majesty is afraid of your deception, you can invite the famous gentry from all over the world to watch the battle with me, so that the people in the world will decide the winner or lose."

Zhao Yan and the General Staff were planning to set up a trap for Chongzhen in Zhaojiabao. Two thousand people against 300,000 people, and the Shandong army would undoubtedly win.

Chongzhen sent a telegram to Zhao Yan for one morning with the cabinet radio station.

Chongzhen felt that this battle was almost impossible, because Zhao Yan's character was relatively open and had a bottom line in his behavior, so he was not hungry for the throne.

Therefore, Chongzhen took over Zhao Yan's letter of war.

The two sides agreed to fight to the east side of Fenglong Mountain, south of Zhending Prefecture in mid-September, the reason for choosing to be after the autumn harvest was that Zhao Yan's new 01st Division was still in place, and it was also to let the people harvest the crops in the fields. At the same time, the eastern side of Fenglong Mountain, north and south sides are plains, and Fenglong Mountain is about 600 meters high, which is just suitable for watching the battle.

To the south of Zhending Prefecture and to the north of Fenglong Mountain is Shijiazhuang City, the capital of Hebei Province, which was later generations. However, Shijiazhuang has not yet appeared in the past! It is just a small village.

Seeing that there was no problem, Chongzhen agreed.

Sun Chuanting didn't say much, and his intuition told him that this decisive battle was not that simple, but the specific point was wrong, which made him puzzled.

He did not agree with Chongzhen and Zhao Yan's confrontation. In his opinion, Chongzhen would better remove the military power and carry out constitutional monarchy obediently.

In this way, the Zhu family will be the emperor forever, and the country can also prosper under the governance of the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting never doubted whether the Ming Dynasty could prosper. With Zhao Yan's method of governing the country, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable. If Chongzhen fought with him, he would probably suffer a loss.

However, this opportunity was too tempting. It was a sure win for 300,000 to 20,000. So Sun Chuanting did not agree or object.

Then Chongzhen sent a telegram to Zhao Yan, saying: "If you win, I will betrothed Princess Changping to you."

It took nearly half an hour before Zhaojiabao sent a reply to the telegram.

When Zhao Yan received this telegram in Zhaojiabao, he couldn't help but be stunned. He felt that Chongzhen wanted to be the emperor, but there was a fierce debate over whether to accept Chongzhen's conditions.

Chongzhen's condition was very obvious, and he wanted Zhao Yan to be his son-in-law, and then he abdicated and let Zhao Yan sit on the throne in order to preserve the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Quan completely opposed it. He believed that Zhao Yan was born after the royal family of the Song Dynasty and was qualified to establish his own business.

However, other senior officials of Zhaojiabao still have a little feelings for the Mingting, especially those senior officials who came from literati. If they accept Chongzhen's conditions, Zhao Yan can rise to power, and the Mingting royal family can also continue, and they prefer this kind of happy result.

After they finished arguing, Zhao Yan weighed for a moment and decided to agree to Chongzhen.

For Zhao Yan, he didn't care whether he had one more or one less. He didn't care whether he had a self-esteem. When he got to power, he would be no different from establishing a self-esteem.

Zhao Yan still prefers to preserve the Ming Dynasty's national rule. The starting point of this dynasty was good, but he went astray because Zhu Yuanzhang's background was not enough.

After receiving the telegram from Zhao Yan, Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, for him, it is best to win, and if he loses, the outcome will not be too bad.

The two sides quickly reached a consensus on how to fight the decisive battle.

After the autumn harvest, a battlefield of 10 miles wide and 100 miles long was drawn to the east of Fenglong Mountain. Both sides deployed defenses at 45 miles at both ends, leaving a distance of 10 miles in the middle, and the side who was driven out of the designated battlefield was defeated.

I thought I would have to whine a little before Chongzhen could agree, but what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that Chongzhen agreed just a quarter of an hour after the telegram was sent.

Chongzhen obediently got into the trap set by Zhao Yan.
Chapter completed!
