The word "send troops" is stuck in my throat and I can't say it out.
The ministers are forcing each other, and the world is in awe.
Chongzhen suddenly realized that he was sitting on wax.
Through Jin Yiwei's intelligence, he already had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the situation in Shandong.
Even though he didn't know much about military affairs, he understood that given the current situation of the imperial court, once troops were sent out, it would be a disaster.
But now there are so many people urging him. If he doesn't send troops, what will happen to the emperor's prestige?
What to do with the majesty of the imperial court?
At the critical moment, Wen Tiren stood up.
"What my colleagues don't know is that His Majesty and the imperial court have already known the Shandong situation very well. Now that Zuo Ni and the Dongjiang rebels are fighting together, it is a good opportunity to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and consume each other. No matter who among them can win, it will be inevitable.
The strength is greatly damaged. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the imperial court should use heavy troops in Shanxi to wipe out the northwest bandits in one battle. At that time, the imperial army will plow the court and sweep the holes with thunderous force, and pacify Shandong with ease. What's more, Zuo Ni has revealed a huge
There is a flaw, Your Majesty and the imperial court have a plan. Soon, Zuo Ni will become a caged beast. When he is captured, I will thank the world."
A censor stood up and asked for more information.
"May I ask Mr. Wen Ge, what is your plan?"
Wen Tiren's face turned cold and he shouted angrily: "How can we reveal military and state secrets to the public?"
The censor was embarrassed, knowing that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly retreated into the crowd.
Seeing Wen Tiren step forward and turn the situation around with just a few words, Chongzhen was filled with gratitude.
Looking at Zhou Yanru who was like a quail on the other side, the balance of the two chief civil servants in the emperor's mind had tilted.

Zhangde Mansion.
Xie Wenju left the military camp on the pretext of hunting.
He was like a local emperor, and no one dared to ask about his behavior.
In the dense forest on the outskirts of the city, after waiting anxiously, Gao Qi dived there.
The matter was so important that the eunuch worked hard and covered a distance of several hundred miles in just three days.
"Eunuch Gao, what is it that makes you so anxious?"
Gao Qiqian ignored his fatigue and told the story of Zuo Menggeng's rebellion in detail, which made Xie Wenju shocked.
"Doesn't that mean that Zuo Liangyu..."
Gao Qiqian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"That Zuo Mengeng was so secretive that he planned such a fateful thing and allowed Zuo Liangyu to wander around. All he had to do was hold Zuo Liangyu in his hand, and he wouldn't have to worry about Zuo Mengeng not obeying."
Seeing Xie Wenju's hesitant look, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but warn: "Lao Xie, we are not outsiders. For such a big matter, don't be confused and let your mind be confused by mere money."
Xie Wenju calmed down and realized that he had misunderstood.
"Don't Eunuch Gao know who our family is? But our family knows a little more about Zuo Liangyu."
Gao Qiqian remained silent, waiting for Xie Wenju to take the initiative to speak.
"When our family first came here to supervise the army, we happened to encounter a strange thing..."
At that moment, Xie Wenju explained the conflicts between Zuo and his son one by one.
"The relationship between Zuo's father and son is quite nasty, and there is no sense of kindness between father and son. Especially after the old servant disappeared, Zuo Liangyu even threatened to kill them all when he returns."
Gao Qiqian's eyes were full of splendor.
"Hahahahaha, the world is big and full of surprises. This father and son turned against each other just because of a marriage. It is in vain that Zuo Menggeng had ambitions to be a hero, and he showed such a flaw. Once word spreads, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be drowned in saliva
Got him."
Xie Wenju nodded, with a weird and perverted smile on his face.
"Instead of arresting Zuo Liangyu and using it to threaten Zuo Mengeng, I think it would be better to exploit the conflict between father and son, which would get twice the result with half the effort."
Gao Qiqian thought about it carefully and realized that what he said made sense.
"This matter is so big that we can't make the decision. We must send a message to the capital immediately and leave it to the emperor to make a decision."
The two old eunuchs decided to settle down temporarily and did not attack Zuo Liangyu immediately.
They believed that once Chongzhen knew about this situation, he would definitely make a big fuss.
It's hard to say that the two people who worked on this matter have made extraordinary achievements.
…………………………
Lushun.
Gulu
At this time, spring has begun to bloom.
Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang stood by the dock, waiting for the fleet from the south to arrive.
To their surprise, Zhang Yan, the head of the logistics department, came in person.
"What brings you, the great minister, here?"
Zhang Yan got off the boat and said with a smile: "I heard that you were miserable climbing on the ice and sleeping in the snow in Liaodong. As a logistics manager, I really couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night. I had to come and see for myself how miserable you are.
?”
The Huangshan tiger's head is covered with black lines.
"Why am I listening...are you here to see our joke?"
Zhang Yan didn’t deny it either.
"Now the whole army is joking that you have been sent away. How about it? Isn't it a good feeling to be trapped in an isolated city?"
Fu Gang, the political commissar, completely lost his composure.
"I haven't fought a single battle in three months, and I can't train every day, so I'm completely idle."
Zhang Yan first paid attention to the military situation.
"How about the Jinzhou Guard in the north? Have the Tatars sent troops to fight?"
The two chief officers of the advance detachment heading north shook their heads together.
"There seems to be something big going on over there with the Tatars. Three groups of Jinzhou Guard troops have left the city and headed north. It has been observed that the number of troops in the city is less than a thousand. If we are determined to attack, we will definitely be able to capture it within two days."
Zhang Yan quickly warned.
"You don't have enough troops. Even if you capture the Jinzhou Guard, you won't be able to defend it once the Tatar army is provoked. It's better to stay on the Lushun side and rely on the area to be more confident."
Huang Sanhu is on the front line, so of course he understands the importance better.
"The summary report from our side a year ago has been sent over. I wonder if the military department will respond to it?"
Only then did Zhang Yan remember that they had been informed of military reforms.
"At present, our army has completed its restructuring. The military headquarters has been upgraded to the headquarters, and the military commander has also become the commander-in-chief."
Huangshan Tiger was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Then how will we arrange the advance detachment?"
Zhang Yan joked: "You are still the advance detachment, under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters. But Bai Xiaoqi is already the deputy commander of the First Army."
Huang Sanhu exploded on the spot.
"No...why? He, Bai Xiaoqi, is the godson of the commander-in-chief? How come all the good things are his?"
After teasing enough, Zhang Yancai said: "You are not without benefits."
Things on the ship began to be carried off one by one, and soon they piled up on the dock.
Zhang Yan took a box and opened it on the spot. Inside, there were a pile of shiny black leather boots lying side by side.
He took out a pair and handed them to Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang.
"Years ago, you reported that the bitter cold in Liaodong made cotton shoes unfit for use. The commander-in-chief was very concerned about this and ordered the Yazi Shoe Factory to conduct research and come up with thicker and warmer leather boots like this. Give it a try, what is the effect?"
Fu Gang didn't try it.
Stroking the thick velvet inside the leather boots, he smiled bitterly.
"No, it's spring and the weather has warmed up, so I brought these shoes. Doesn't this mean that the baby died and the milk came?"
Huang Sanhu also complained constantly.
"Your logistics department is becoming more and more lazy in its work. Don't you know what it means to be in a hurry?"
Zhang Yan was not happy.
"Do you think it doesn't take time to do things? Do you know how long it took to design these shoes? Besides, if you can't wear them now, you can wait until next winter."
Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang's expressions changed greatly.
"Are we going to stay here until next winter?"
When they thought that other brother teams were winning battles and making great progress, but they could only be bored here, they both wanted to cry.
Zhang Yan also knew that the teasing had gone too far and quickly made amends.
"Don't be impatient. Have you forgotten our rules? In my opinion, your duties will not be until this spring at the latest. Once the Tatars don't come to attack, I'm afraid you will be transferred back. The high command has already made plans, and we still need to
Two armies have been expanded. Congratulations to both of you, I’m afraid this benefit is indispensable to you.”
Upon learning of the headquarters' plan, Huang Sanhu and Fu Gang immediately turned their worries into joy.
"Come on, let's take a closer look. What good things have you brought here?"
