Chapter 725 Inside and Outside

Lu Xiangsheng's actions first caused noise in the Ming Dynasty.

Some people quickly caught the wind and shadow, spread rumors in the capital, and even set off a frenzy in the court.

"Lu Xiangsheng doesn't think it's suitable to start a war, but he's under pressure from adults..."

Jiang Guangyue stood at Zhou Zheng's table, expressionless, and said angrily: "What Lu Xiangsheng is a reformist resistance, resisting the war. Who is already blinded by reputation, should retire... The memorials in the capital and the court are all like this..."

Zhou Zheng was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, this is normal. If you can't deceive your own people, how can you deceive Jianlu?"

Jiang Guang said that he was the Minister of War and naturally knew the grand strategy and various tactics of the Northern Expedition.

He listened to Zhou Zheng's words and felt aroused, and said, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Zheng looked outside with a faint look and said, "I promoted the reform. If I want to fall, do you think those who try to pull their legs in different ways will they not be able to help but jump out?"

Jiang Guangyue understood and said, "My lord is ready to further create momentum, confuse Jianlu, and sort out the reform team at the same time?"

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You go and find Sun Chuanting and discuss it carefully."

Jiang Guangyue raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Then, he said, "Sir, are you going to Liaodong?"

It is logical that Zhou Zheng should have been in Liaodong for such a big deal. This is not only a huge contribution, but also involves military power.

If Zhou Zheng did not go, Lu Xiangsheng would take charge of more than 100,000 elite troops, and the great achievements of the Northern Expedition would be enough to be comparable to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I won't go."

Jiang Guangyue looked at Zhou Zheng deeply and said, "The officials dared to ask: Lu Jiandou, are you going back to Beijing?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Guang said, picked up the teacup, and did not answer him immediately.

Jiang Guangyue looked at Zhou Zheng, silently.

The current imperial structure is relatively stable. If Lu Xiangsheng returns to Beijing with great achievements, how should he arrange it? Also, what is his position? He has always been away from the imperial court and has a very secretive attitude.

Once, Yang Sichang and others wanted to win over and use him, but he never explained it in a few words afterwards.

After drinking tea, Zhou Zheng said, "The military reform has not ended yet. It is too early to talk about it now. Shenyang also needs people to guard it."

The military reform is not over!

Jiang Guangyue muttered this sentence in his heart, and for a while, he said, "Yes, the official understands."

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I don't want to go, you have to go. After you go, see more, do more, say less."

Jiang Guangyue raised his hand and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Lord!"

At this time, anyone who goes to Liaodong will be rewarded. Lu Xiangsheng really pacified Liaodong. As the Minister of War, he would have made a contribution and increase his status and reputation in the court.

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go, the officialdom needs to be cleaned up, and the army needs to be done well."

Jiang Guangyue raised his hand and said, "The emperor obeys the order."

Zhou Zheng nodded and took a piece of paper casually.

This piece of paper has been folded and comes from the MIIS.

Jiang Guangyue glanced at him and quietly stepped back.

Zhou Zheng looked at the paper with a calm expression and his eyes flashed constantly.

This comes from Myanmar. The King of Myanmar seems to intend to use the power of Wu Sangui and others to stabilize the internal division situation. Although the Ming Dynasty performed a major martial arts exercise to shock me, Myanmar still did not make any changes and intended to protect Wu Sangui and others.

After a while, Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Is this true that I don't have the extra energy to deal with you?"

Zhou Zheng was calculating quickly that the battle of Liaodong had already dragged down his maximum energy and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no way to start two uncertain wars at the same time.

But he could not let Myanmar continue like this, otherwise he would sooner or later become a major concern in the Ming Dynasty.

"Yao Tongshun." Zhou Zheng suddenly said to the outside.

Yao Tongshun immediately came in and said, "Sir."

Zhou Zheng was still thinking in his heart and said, "Go, tell Liuzhe, let him go to Yunnan in person, tell Zhao Lujiao and others that you can get a chance, whether it is Annan or Myanmar."

Yao Tongshun bowed and said, "Yes."

People outside were still thinking about how to force Zhou Zheng to surrender and give up the Northern Expedition, but they didn't know that Zhou Zheng was planning to start two wars at the same time.

The Ming Dynasty was filled with wind and internal struggles, and the situation of Jianlu became even worse.

As the Ming Dynasty announced the postponement of the Northern Expedition, Jianlu breathed a sigh of relief, and various speculations and remarks were rampant, and the voices of "stop the battle" continued inside and outside Shenyang.

The voice of the "Lord and Peace" began to look up, and all kinds of memoirs came to Xiaozhuang's table.

Xiaozhuang was also hesitant and called Jirgalang, Daishan and others to the front.

Chen Hualong, who replaced Ning Wan, also appeared here.

He strongly advocated peace. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty postponed the Northern Expedition, he immediately said confidently: "Empress Dowager, the Ming Dynasty's postponement of the Northern Expedition can only show that they had a big problem and could not be able to fight the Northern Expedition. This is our opportunity!"

The reason why Chen Hualong opposed the war was because he felt that Jianlu had little chance of winning, and their strategy should be to delay time and restore his anger to start a war in the future, rather than now.

Dai Shan glanced at him, didn't like this person, and said lightly: "What opportunity? Will Mingren give up halfway through such a big move? Sooner or later."

Chen Hualong ignored Dai Shan and said directly: "Empress Dowager, postponing the battle is a taboo for military strategists, which will have a huge blow to morale. I can conclude that the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to go north on time in May!"

At this time, Jirgalang also glanced at him and said, "The Ming army may have some trouble, but if they can't go north in May, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The Ming Dynasty had such a big disturbance, and hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized. If the situation ended in a hurry, the whole country would definitely not agree. The head coach Zhou Zheng may face very serious consequences.

So, according to common sense, even if Zhou Zheng bit the bullet, he would send troops north, and there was no reason to start with the slightest end.

Chen Hualong's voice was even more excited and said, "Empress Dowager, I believe that the delay of the Ming army in Liaodong may be due to Zhou Zhengyun's problems. As far as I know, the Ming people feared our Qing Dynasty like a tiger. The Northern Expedition was opposed by everyone. It was completely driven by Zhou Zhengyun. Now that Lu Xiangsheng is delaying, it may be that the opposition has gained the upper hand, and Zhou Zhengyun may lose authority!"

Xiaozhuang was calm all the time. When he heard it, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Really?"

Zhou Zheng has always been their biggest and most dangerous enemy of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why the Qing Dynasty fell to its current level was completely due to Zhou Zheng. Even the late emperor was deeply afraid! If Zhou Zheng lost his authority, it would be a great luck for the Qing Dynasty!

Chen Hualong expressed his affirmation and said, "Yes. We can send people to investigate the situation of the Ming Dynasty court while staring at Liaodong. If the Northern Expedition is incomplete in May, it can basically be concluded."

Xiaozhuang suddenly looked at Jirgalang and said, "Prince Zheng, what do you think?"

Jirgalang also frowned deeply and said, "Procrastination at the moment is indeed a taboo in military strategists. Logically, Zhou Zheng and Lu Xiangsheng would not make such a mistake. There must be some reason. If you want to know, you can also sit and watch the changes as Chen Hualong said."

Xiaozhuang frowned and thoughtful, saying, "Can this be the conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty? Our food and grass can't last long. If they drag on this, we will defeat ourselves."

Chen Hualong immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "Empress Dowager, the food and grass in Chenyang can definitely last until June. If they do not send troops in the morning of June, they will not send troops. When the morale is greatly relieved, they will be ruthless. We are waiting for it, and they can only have a picture of defeat!"

Dai Shan looked at Chen Hualong and looked even more displeased.

This man's righteous words seemed to make sense, but he was deeply disgusted by a warrior like him.

Jirgalang also said silently. Although Chen Hualong's words were problematic, they did not have a better way to deal with them. If they sent troops to attack the Ming army now, it might prompt the Ming army to fight to the decisive battle.

Seeing that Jiergalang also agreed, Xiaozhuang nodded slightly and said, "Prince Zheng, leave everything to you."

Jirgalang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Empress."

Chen Hualong was unwilling to give up and said, "Empress Dowager, I didn't help me."

Xiaozhuang looked at Chen Hualong, paused for a moment, and said, "Leave the logistics and food to Chen Aiqing to coordinate."

Chen Hualong was overjoyed and said, "I obey the order!"
