As soon as Duoduo died, there were only Boluo's remnants in western Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang. In this battle, he wondered why Boluo had not taken action. Now he understood that Boluo was alert to the rebel army to advance eastward and was unable to attack Jinhua and Ningbo.

Therefore, in Wu Zheng's mind, he did have the idea of ​​first resting his breath and accumulating strength, and then heading south to recover lost territory.

Wu Zheng thought of a question, "How could the Qing court sit and watch Yixingchao occupy the entire Huguang?"

Qian Qianyi said: "The court sent personnel to the north. As long as the Qing court did not interfere in this battle, our dynasty acquiesced the Qing court's occupation of the northern part of Huguang, with the Yangtze River as the boundary."

Wu Zheng was speechless, and would rather have to be with the thief than to be a slave in the family.

He made a secret decision, and he could not stop this matter, nor did he want to stop it, because the strength of the Northern Expedition Army was indeed not enough to be sufficient for the Northern Expedition, and he needed some time to strengthen the army, develop weapons, develop people's livelihood, and straighten out the chaotic relationships of the six governments.

In addition, for the Yixing Dynasty, this war was just, to regain lost territory, and the civilian army was a rebel.

If Zhu Cilang decides to do it, unless he breaks apart, Wu Zheng can only agree, at most he will not participate and wait and see what happens.

But not participating is negative, so Wu Zheng decided that he must participate, so that at least he could protect the loyalty camp.

After recruiting soldiers twice in a row, the population of the six palaces has dried up. When recruiting soldiers for the second time, it has even broken through the boundary of "those with more than three people join the army, only sons and two sons will not be recruited."

Therefore, the loyal camp of tens of thousands of soldiers was very attractive to Wu Zheng.

So Wu Zheng changed his mind temporarily.

"Since both Your Majesty and the Chief Supervisor have the idea of ​​advancing westward, I will not object."

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed.

Wu Zheng said: "But this public has one condition."

"Prince, please speak."

"I must be the commander of the Western Expedition Army. The court can appoint a deputy commander, but the power of military decision-making must be under my control."

Qian Qianyi hesitated and said, "This matter... needs to be approved by Your Majesty. I will go to the palace to ask Your Majesty for instructions."

Wu Zheng reached out to inspire him, "Prime Minister please give me a gift."

Looking at Qian Qianyi's back moving away, Wu Zhengen frowned.

Song An came in from outside the door and asked in confusion, "Young Master really plans to fight the rebels?"

Wu Zheng scolded: "You eavesdropped again?"

Song An said with a grievance: "Young Master did not tell me not to eavesdrop. Besides, I am guarding outside the door. It is difficult not to hear this several feet away."

"you……."

Seeing Wu Zheng getting angry and embarrassed, Song An quickly crossed the topic and said, "The young master kept saying that to unite all the forces against the Qing Dynasty, the rebel army has been recruited by the Longwu Dynasty. Why do we still have to attack? Besides, if we have made great efforts to win, the land and population have all belonged to the court. What can we get? It's just a promise. Jiangxi and Fujian are still in the hands of the Qing army. Now we have just signed a peace agreement. I don't know when the war will start again?"

Wu Zheng looked at the indignant Song An and sighed: "You think the young master thinks, but the court is not the young master alone after all, and the world is not the young master alone. Everyone has different demands, and you cannot force others to obey your will. Of course, you can also do it with power, but your young master does not have the strength to do it now. Even if you can do it, you don't want to do it, because the subjects of the Yixing Dynasty are ultimately another main force in the anti-Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan."

Song An nodded and said, "What should I do if the young master agreed to the censor before?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Qian Qianyi knew that Chen Zilong and others were visiting before, so I think it must have arranged an eyeliner outside."

Song An was furious, "I'll take people to deal with these little thieves."

"No." Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "What's the use of these minions? You have to alert the snake. Since you have decided to move westward, let Your Majesty and Qian Qianyi feel at ease... In this way, I will write a letter and send someone to the Taifu Mansion. The matter must be mediated by the Taifu. Otherwise, with Chen Zilong's hot temper, he will not be able to make trouble for me."

"yes."

Wu Zheng fell into deep thought again.

It is too harmful to let someone like Qian Qianyi continue to serve as the chief minister.

This guy reminded Wu Zheng a little of the big traitor "Wang" in later generations. He was also knowledgeable and talented, and was also afraid of the enemy like a tiger, with a failed accent.

If such a person continues to be the chief assistant, Yixingchao is likely to be in the hands of this person.

But the problem is that the appointment and removal power of the chief minister is not in Wu Zheng's hands.

The emperor regarded Qian Qianyi as his loyalty, and would definitely not easily follow the wishes of Chen Zilong and others.

Sending a letter to Qian Sule was just mediating and comforting... Wu Zheng suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision.

....

The next day, just after the fourth update, and before the fifth update, Wu Zheng knocked on the palace and entered the palace.

Fortunately, the palace gate meeting was opened half an hour in advance. Seeing that it was Wu Zheng, Duke of Zhenguo, entered the palace alone, the palace gate guards did not dare to stop it.

In Hanliang Hall, although Zhu Cilang forced his appearance, he still couldn't help but yawn.

However, his expression was still good. I think Qian Qianyi's reply yesterday made him very satisfied.

"Do you know? I just slept one hour and came to see me so early. Could it be that the prime minister came to ask me for advice yesterday?" Zhu Cixuan joked with a smile, "You are too impatient, right? Although I have decided on the Western Expedition, I can discuss the matter with the Qing court, the mobilization of the army, and the preparation of food and grass, etc., one or two months will be fast."

Speaking of this, when Zhu Cixuan saw that Wu Zheng's expression was wrong, he thought Wu Zheng was too stubborn about what he asked for, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still recognize the general's martial arts. The position of commander of the Western Army is naturally the general."

Wu Zheng ignored this and said in a deep voice: "I am rushing to the palace at the Grand Court today, so I am not the position of commander of the Western Army."

Zhu Cixuan was stunned and asked, "What's the matter with the general?"

Wu Zheng said: "Your Majesty asked you to stop Qian Qianyi from the position of Chief Supervisor and choose another talented person."

Zhu Ciyang's face changed, "Is the chief minister offended the general yesterday?"

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Although I am young and wild, I will not ask Your Majesty to vent my anger because of my words."

"So why? Qian Qianyi used to be kind to others, and he also heard that he had personal grudges with the general. In my opinion, he has a much better temper than Chen Zilong."

Wu Zheng said: "But for the candidate for the chief assistant, I would rather choose Chen Zilong than Qian Qianyi."
