Zhou Zheng had no experience in fighting against Jianlu, and he didn't know the background. He glanced at the people around him and secretly planned to find an opportunity to ask the people here.

Zhou Zheng continued to walk in Ningyuan City and observed that compared with Shanhaiguan, the equipment here was sufficient and the food was visible to the naked eye, and the excitement was even stronger.

Ningyuan City is indeed not big. Zhou Zheng can see the general picture after a walk around. This is a small city, which was built in a hurry on the basis of a fort, not specifically to attack the city. There is no dangerous place around and cannot be regarded as a fortress city.

Zhou Zheng got off the city wall and prepared to go to the temporary station arranged by Yuan Chonghuan for them.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the front.

Zhou Zheng looked up and saw two men wearing animal skins but not animal skins, cotton coats but not cotton coats, murmurs, and arrogant all over his body, strode towards the governor's yamen.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are they?"

The soldiers who accompanied Zhou Zheng were very silent along the way. He glanced at him and said, "It's Jianlu."

Zhou Zheng vaguely guessed in his heart, and was still slightly shocked, and then he felt aware of it.

Although the Ming Dynasty's condolence was sent by Yuan Chonghuan, there must have been some contact in advance. However, aren't you afraid of criticism so blatantly?

Zhou Zheng watched the two men enter Yuan Chonghuan's governor's yamen, and changed his mind and walked towards his base as usual.

Huang Weihuai was not here, Zhou Zheng cleaned up, lay down on the small bed, closed his eyes to rest, and pondered his experiences along the way.

The situation in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan is not optimistic. The city is dilapidated and the desire to fight is insufficient. Yuan Chonghuan's victory is probably a careless act of the indomitable Jianlu. Coupled with the court's fear of war, Ningyuan was guarded, which can be regarded as a kind of luck.

But even if he defended Ningyuan, the Ming Dynasty had become increasingly defensive in Liaodong. Sun Chengzong was able to plan a counterattack. Now, there is only a little defensive intention left.

Defense cannot stop Jianlu from becoming popular. Mongolia can no longer effectively control Jianlu, and Dongjiang Town is also quite fragile.

If this continues, what chances of victory will the Ming Dynasty still be?

"We must find a way to curb the expansion of Jianlu..."

Zhou Zheng, who had his eyes closed, whispered to himself.

The Ming Dynasty was constantly weakening, but Jianlu continued to acquire resources in the war and continued to grow. As one rose and the other grew, it was too dangerous for the Ming Dynasty.

...

I don’t know how long it took, but the knock on the door woke Zhou Zheng up.

Zhou Zhengyi accidentally fell asleep. He opened his eyes, rubbed his face, and sat up as the sky became dark outside the window.

The minor official said outside the door: "Censor Zhou, Lord Yuan has prepared a banquet and invite Lord to the banquet."

Zhou Zheng suddenly became alert. Yuan Chonghuan did not talk to him privately and openly invited a banquet. Is he really not afraid that Zhou Zhengjianlu would destroy his plan, or is he really planning to keep Zhou Zheng in Ningyuan and unable to go to Shenyang?

Zhou Zheng nodded, calmed down for a moment, washed his face, tidied up his clothes, and opened the door and went out.

The little official hurriedly accompanied him and said, "Civil Zhou, the other adults have arrived, and Lord Yuan is waiting for you too."

When Zhou Zheng came to the main hall of the Governor's Yamen, he saw that there were many people along the way except Huang Weihuai, who were not aware of Zhou Zheng. He should be the general of Liaodong. They ignored Zhou Zheng's arrival, sat on their own, waiting, and occasionally had conversations.

Zhou Zheng was arranged to sit down in his position, and then he observed the people present without hesitation.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhou Zheng and frowned.

The others looked slightly different, and many people didn't know Zhou Zheng. Looking at him, I wonder why he suddenly stood up.

Huang Weihuai stood up, stood beside Zhou Zheng, and said coldly to Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Zhengyun, in front of Governor Yuan, if you dare to talk nonsense, I can arrest you now and send you to the capital for punishment!"

“It’s okay,”

As soon as Huang Weihuai finished speaking, without waiting for others to speak, the Jianlu man turned to Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng in fluent Chinese, and said with a smile: "I really want to hear what this adult wants to say."

Huang Weihuai glanced at him, frowned, looked alert, and looked at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan put down his wine glass, looked calm, and gave Zhou Zheng a warning look.

The Jianlu man looked at it with a smile on his face, but sneered in his heart, and said to himself: 'Fight, fight, Dahan is right. As long as you wise people keep fighting in the internal battle, I, Dajin, will have more opportunities!'
