Chapter 213 This is for the good of Chongzhen and the good of Daming

"Zheng Sen? The eldest son of the Zheng family? Has Annan Hou finally been willing to come back from outside the pass?" Chen Hongfan immediately thought that Zheng Zhilong had returned and said sarcastically when he heard about the identity of the person he came.

Zheng Sen looked at Chen Hongfan, who was wearing an official robe, with a rich body, but there were a few more bubbles on his mouth, and his face was a little tired. He felt incredible in his heart first. Seeing that Chen Hongfan's past actions were not the one who was willing to do his best for the court. He didn't expect that he was so concerned about the situation at the moment.

But Chen Hongfan's ridicule still made Zheng Sen angry. "My father led his army into the territory of the Eastern Barbarians for hundreds of miles, destroyed Niuzhuang, conquered Anshan, swept the Liaohe River, restored Liaoyang, burned Shengjing, and saved tens of thousands of people. Now he returned triumphantly and promoted the prestige of the country. Governor Chen looked angry. Have they already regarded the Tartars as their own country in his heart?"

Since Chen Hongfan did not show his face, why did Zheng Sen give the birdman a face?

He immediately exclaimed Chen Hongfan ascended to heaven, and the two Buddhas were born. He was so excited that his whole body trembled, and pointed at Zheng Sen and scolded loudly: "Zheng Sen, your father's reputation spread far and wide. He was believed by His Majesty as a pillar of the court, but he ignored the gains and losses of the court. He blindly invited famous and sold fame, gained fame, suppressed loyal and kindness, intercepted the envoys, and the world was bright and bright. There was always a day when your Zheng family was beaten to the wrong line." Thinking that the Zheng family had put themselves in such a life-and-death situation, Chen Hongfan had the heart to eat Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen's face disappeared, and it was too out of breath for people like Chen Hongfan to get angry because of him. "Haha, just as Governor Chen said, the world is bright and the sky is bright. There are always historical writings in this world, whether it is true or false, no one can escape the judgment of history."

"Hmph, what Master Zheng said is really better than what he sang. I will give this sentence to you. The bright world is bright and bright. Whoever abolishes his public because of his personal gain and who seeks fame and reputation will be determined in history." Ma Shaoyu appeared in a row.

This man was Chen Xinjia's confidant with Zhang Ruoqi at the time, and rushed outside the pass to urge Hong Chengchou to advance. However, Zhang Ruoqi was in the army, and Ma Shaoyu stayed in the rear, so he had an old acquaintance with Zheng Sen.

"It turned out to be the Ma Langzhong. I had been away from the pass and disappeared for many days. Now I look red." Zheng Sen looked down on Ma Shaoyu a little. When the Songjin battled, the bird man stayed in the rear. Afterwards, Zhang Ruoqi was put into prison, and Ma Shaoyu was still Chen Xinjia's confidant. Later, he made a private peace with Chen Xinjia and the Qing Dynasty, but it was not reached.

After Chen Xinjia's death, people disappeared, but now they appeared in the mission. Their position has changed from being the head of the Ministry of War to becoming the doctor of the Ministry of War that Zhang Ruoqi had worked as.

"The Tartars entered the pass and invaded the Shenjing, and wanted to make Hu Yan contaminate the Central Plains. The remains were not weak. The Jin Yuan Dynasty. My father led his troops to Jinmen and had many fights with him. First, take advantage of the emptiness of the rear, lead the troops straight into, restore Liaoyang, burn Shengjing, and save tens of thousands of people. Not to mention the contributions to the country, is it wrong?"

"Take a chance to enter? I know that the court intends to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, but he brazenly dispatched troops regardless of the gains and losses of the court, which caused today's deadlock and ruined the court's plan. Is this the loyalty of Annan Hou? Put it away quickly."

The Southern Ming court knew that its troops were weak and its combat power was weak. Deducting Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 troops, the troops available to the small court were really ashamed.

When Emperor Chongzhen entered Jinling, the Dashun army occupied the five prefectures of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, De'an, Chengtian and Huangzhou in the west, and advanced to the Huaihe River Basin in the east. Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and others made military deployments to address the situation at that time to guard the Wuchang to Nanzhili area.

However, as the Qing troops quickly occupied Jifu and the Dashun army retreated westward, the situation in the Central Plains changed greatly again, and the Qilu and central and northern Central Plains directly led to a situation of belonging to Mo Ding.

Under the trilateral confrontation, since the Dashun regime was no longer able to look east, Liu Fangliang and Guo Sheng were obviously on the defensive, and this vast area became the focus of the competition between the Southern Ming and the Qing Dynasty. However, some officials and gentry in the south of the Ji, Qi, Lu, and Central Plains launched a rebellion and subverted the local Dashun regime, which was also called for restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Southern Ming Dynasty should have taken this favorable opportunity to send troops north and try to expand the ruling area. This way, it can not only prevent the Qing army from going south, but also be a way to strengthen itself. However, the small court of Jinling was always stuck and blindly guarding the south of the Yangtze River.

Since the end of Wanli, the Ming court has suffered major failures in its war with the Qing Dynasty. Years of fighting have long made them lose hope of winning the Qing Dynasty head-on. Moreover, the main military pillars of the Southern Ming court, such as Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, etc., were defeated generals who were repeatedly defeated by the Qing army, and they could not even defeat the Dashun army. Since the Dashun army was defeated by the Qing army, it can be seen that the strong are even more powerful.

So, from Chongzhen to the city of civil and military officials, they all accepted Shi Kefa's proposal.

I think the most clever strategy is not to step beyond the line, so as not to "stimulate" the Qing soldiers and give them a message to go south. And I have plenty of strength to win enough time.

Then, it is better to have a low-spirited word than the Qing court, and it is necessary to maintain a relatively stable situation.

The monarch and ministers of Chongzhen may not be able to see the Southern Ming army even if they did not go north to compete with the Qing Dynasty for Qi and Lu, and the Central Plains, the Qing army would sooner or later go south to collect Lu, Yu, and compete for land with the Southern Ming court. However, many people thought they were able to make up their own plans - they just verbally called for Li Zicheng to fight and kill, but in fact the battle was the Qing Dynasty fought with the bandits, and they hid in Jiangnan and expanded their strength with peace of mind.

This is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

When the two tigers fight will be injured, the Southern Ming court will be able to recover some strength. Then, if you fight with the Qing Dynasty, you will see if you want to see it again.

Such a concept has been recognized by many people in Jinling, and even among some opponents, there are very few who clamor for Huang Degong to be incompatible with the Eastern Barbarians. Most of them are people like Zuo Maodi, who believe that the Southern Ming court is the most upright in the world and that alliance with the Eastern Barbarians can bring shame to the court. Instead of having fundamental opposition to the "military strategy".

Zheng Sen felt a little angry. He looked down on people like Chen Hongfan, but Ma Shaoyu spoke insults, which made him a little angry. "The king who was born in the world and was a tree sent a lord. My Ming Dynasty had fought with the Tartars for more than 20 years, and countless soldiers were killed. Millions of people in Liaodong had turned into bones. Not to mention that the Tartars entered the pass several times, all of which were corpses everywhere and blood drifted. There were almost tens of millions of people living under the sword of the Ming Dynasty. These beasts were irreconcilable with the people of Yanhuang. But you want the emperor to get along with him, are you afraid of being punished by God?"

Zheng Damuke is also a scholar. He has a lot of ink in his belly, but he just makes big talk and makes saints. Who can't speak sophistry?

Ma Shaoyu was speechless at the moment.

But this invitation was left alone.

When Zuo Maodi came out, Ma Shaoyu's eyes turned red and grabbed Zuo Maodi's sleeves and shouted: "Zheng Zhilong, a man who did not care about the imperial court's plan, first tried to attack the military pass outside the pass, and then ordered someone to cut off the envoys, and set the two countries in the north and south without being in harmony. His heart could be punished, but his heart could be punished. The following officials saw that this thief would be a major concern for the court in the future, so he must observe..."

Zuo Maodi immediately frowned and glared at Ma Shaoyu, "Doctor Ma is careful. The Marquis of Annan is an important official of the country, so how can he slander him wantonly?" Although he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhipeng's cutoff, he rejected Zheng Zhilong's invitation just now, just asked Zheng Sen to reply to Zheng Zhilong, and he wanted to go on a mission to Yanjing immediately. But this does not mean that he regards Zheng Zhilong as a traitor.

And where is it now? People are in the palm of the Zheng family. Are those with the surname Ma tired of living?

To be honest, Zuo Maodi just now applauded Zheng Sen's words. Why didn't he expect it when he was in Jinling?

After Zheng Sen returned to the General Office of Tianjin, he first accused Zheng Zhilong of crimes, and then explained the previous and subsequent passages in detail. Zheng Zhilong naturally would not blame him. Then Zuo Maodi sent someone to hand over a letter to Zheng Zhilong, writing a letter: Now the thief is still in a state of danger, so you must be careful. The court and the Eastern Barbarians... Even a bunch of words called Zheng Zhilong were considerate and sympathetic to the court's difficulties.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong also received Hong Chengchou's memorial, and it is said that the memorial was delivered to Jinling on the fifth day, and the mission to the north officially set off.

"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

...There is Shandong, then there is Ji Nan, Ji Nan, and then there is Northern Zhili. The Qing Dynasty is the Ji Nan, and the northern Zhili hub. Instead of defending Huai by the world's wages, it is better to defend Qi and Lu by the two Huai by the Huai. I hope that the emperor will choose an envoy who will not be humiliated, contact the north, to eliminate future troubles, and to comfort Shandong prefectures and counties to strengthen people's hearts..."

Hong Chengchou is still bottoming out.

But no matter how high the bottom is, it cannot erase the meaning in Hong Chengchou's words. He also agreed with the peace talks between the Southern Ming and the Qing Dynasty. What does this mean?

This shows that Lian Hong Chengchou's expectations for the North to restore the Central Plains are only on the surface.

Is this really just a temporary solution when Jinling sent envoys to Yanjing to seek favor?

Zheng Zhilong felt that if you, Chongzhen and his ministers, really hoped to restore the Central Plains, you would not think about the Alliance.

Since the king and his ministers agreed to join forces, they all felt that the possibility of restoring the Central Plains was not high?

This is also the current situation that saved them. If this is still as usual in history, the Tartars have driven Li Zicheng into a desperate situation, then the Jinling court can feel the coldness of the north in winter at most.

But if Li Zicheng could really hold the Tartars in western Shanxi for a while, it would be true that the Qing Dynasty really wanted to have a good talk with Nanming.

Although the peace talks between Ming and Qing dynasties were something Zheng Zhilong didn't want to see, he was also trying hard to disturb them - it was not that Zheng Zhilong felt sorry for Li Zicheng, but that he always thought that Li Zicheng was a disadvantage in his heart.

These old Lis are always more laborious, right?

It’s not that Zheng Zhilong looked down on the dignitaries of the Southern Ming Dynasty. After his actions outside the pass were passed back to Jinling, Zuo Maodi was detained. Chongzhen wanted to find a group of people who dared not fear life and death to go north, but he couldn’t find them!

But Zheng Zhilong had to admit that this approach would have caused the Ming and Qing dynasties to take action, which would most likely increase his expected "investment" in Nanming.

But even so what?

He had already made up his mind.

You should know that he was a little moved earlier. First, Chongzhen moved south, and later generations of enemies were united to pacify the enemy...

In the previous life, the iron-blooded Ming Dynasty, which was not married, did not pay compensation, did not cede land, did not pay tribute, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country, what happened?
