Chapter 268 Planning
"Oh, why is this?" Lin Dong asked immediately in shock.
"You must be clear about the situation of the Qing army entering the pass. Since the Qing army entered the pass, our Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, dozens of cities have been captured by the Qing army, and countless officials of all sizes have died at the hands of the Qing army."
"Don't this better reflect the importance of this battle?" Lin Dong asked with confusion.
"General Lin, it's okay for you to lead troops to fight, but if it comes to court struggles, it's too naive. Think about it, since Zhang Shangshu and Eunuch Gao lead reinforcements from all over the world, the Andong army is naturally within its jurisdiction. In this way, our Andong army will naturally have more military achievements than theirs."
What's the matter? Even if they are divided, it's normal. After all, everyone is so good at you and I, everyone, Lin Dong said in his heart.
"Is there any problem?" But judging from Qianhu's meaning, things seemed to be not what I thought, so I asked immediately.
"Think about it, how many military generals under Zhang Shangshu have not made any achievements in their incoming achievements for so long. In other words, our battle is the only victory since the Qing army entered the pass. They will naturally not let go of such an opportunity. Once the war report reaches the capital, they will definitely be intercepted and then replaced with their names. And An Dongjun is afraid that he can't even drink a sip of soup."
Chang Yin paused slightly and continued: "Actually, if we had no support in the capital, we could only pinch our noses and recognize it. But the situation is different now, so we can make a try."
Lin Dong looked puzzled. Since Zhang Shangshu led the reinforcements from all over the world, no matter what, this battle would probably not be avoided by Zhang Shangshu and Eunuch Gao. What is the difference between this and directly submitting the battle report? Mo Jiyin wanted to ask himself to add the names of Gao Qiqian and the others to the battle report?
"I hope to hear it carefully!" Lin Dong asked with a frown.
"Did the general forget about the last time I went to the capital?"
"Go to the capital?" Lin Dong looked puzzled. He could not think of what this had to do with the last time he went to the capital.
"In addition to opening up the relationship, I also used the remaining money to find a foreign aid. He is Mr. Liu. With Mr. Liu in the court, is he afraid that others will be greedy for your military achievements?" Chang Yin said with a smile.
Lin Dong helped out and said, "Ah, why did I forget such an important thing? Since that's the case, I'm afraid I have to work hard to travel thousands of households to bypass Zhang Shangshu and others."
Since he could monopolize this military merit, Lin Dong naturally would not refuse.
"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Chang Yin said with a calm smile.
So at Lin Dong's request, Chang Yin took Chang Yao to set off again. Their purpose was very simple, which was to lead the palace and report the results of this battle to the emperor. Lin Dong didn't want to experience the second time he was taken for the victory.
Chang Yin was very efficient. In less than half a day, he brought the battle report to the capital and handed the battle report to Liu Yuliang.
Liu Yuliang didn't have much talent at first, so he has not made any achievements since he entered the cabinet. Of course, the reason for his current situation is not only limited talent, but the lack of alliance is also the reason for it.
Just imagine, the others are fighting in groups, and he can make big waves by himself. It is precisely this reason that when Chang Yin found him, he agreed immediately.
In fact, Liu Yuliang was not optimistic about Lin Dong at that time. After all, Lin Dong's official position was too small and his troops were limited. He was not even a general, and he had no elite soldiers.
The reason why he agreed was that although Lin Dong was not powerful, his combat effectiveness was good and had development potential. Secondly, the gift Chang Yin gave was indeed right. In addition, he really had no ally, so he thought that it was better to treat dead horses as living horses.
Besides, Lin Dong is still young now, so he may not be able to become a general in one side in time.
This is how it is said to fish for big fish with long lines. Although you don’t know if there is any fish in the water, first you have to throw the hook down, otherwise you will have no chance.
Although Liu Yuliang has no talent, the person who can enter the cabinet must have a bad mind. How could he refuse such a business that is stable and profitable?
Liu Yuliang didn't expect Lin Dong to win such a victory outside the capital, and he was very happy. He never expected Lin Dong to be so successful and just established an alliance relationship, so he sent such a big gift.
So after receiving the battle report, Liu Yuliang changed into his official uniform and entered the palace.
Seeing that Liu Yuliang took over the matter, Chang Yin was overjoyed. As long as Master Liu came forward, the credit would be made.
Thinking of this, Chang Yin felt a passion in his heart. After so many years of running around, Chang Yin gradually realized that it would be impossible to restore his former glory according to the original method. Therefore, he began a curved strategy to save the country and placed his hope on his daughter.
As long as his daughter can marry into a top noble family, then he, a father, can also prosper with all his prosperity.
After so long after his observation, Lin Dong met his own conditions. As long as he married his daughter, his wealth and glory were just around the corner.
It is precisely this reason that he spared no effort to help Lin Dong, and the fundamental reason was to the prosperity of the Chang family.
Lin Dong naturally didn't know about this. Seeing that Chang Qianhu was so concerned about his affairs, he felt very moved. In addition, Chang Yao was also the type he liked, so he agreed to this relationship and just waited for the war to slow down and then went back to report to his mother and settled the matter.
When Liu Yuliang sent the battle report to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen was resting in the Yangxin Palace. He said that it was a rest, but in fact it was a circle back and forth.
The Qing army has sent countless troops since it entered the pass for so long, but the results have not been achieved at all. According to the war reports from the front line, the Ming army recovered wherever it is today and how many cities it will occupy tomorrow. However, the number of the Qing army annihilated has remained in double digits and has never been in triple digits. This shows how ridiculous this battle was fought.
"What the hell is Zhang Fengyi doing? After going out for so long, he has not even encountered a Qing army." Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he looked at the battle report in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Didn't Zhang Shangshu Station say that they are looking for a fighter to fight the Qing army, but they are afraid that the good news will be delivered soon."
The eunuchs on the side were also very helpless. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty were like decorations, and the Ren Qing army came and went freely. Even if he wanted to say good things to Zhang Shangshu, he had no way to start.
