Chapter 696: The Emperor's Personal Expedition

Wang Yan was thinking about it, when he suddenly looked up and saw Lu Shikui outside the hall, and saw that he seemed to have something, so he asked someone to call him in.

Lu Shikui hurriedly entered the lobby, saluted Wang Yan, presented a letter, and said, "Your Highness, the letter from Guangjing has just been delivered to the palace, and it has been sent in a hurry. ”

A letter from Guangjing? Wang Yan was slightly stunned, took out the letter paper and slowly unfolded it, looked at a few lines, and his eyes suddenly enlarged a lot.

This letter was written by He Gang, the governor of Guangdong, and the description in it was that the emperor was ready to move to Ganzhou under the escort of the general soldier Lin Cha and the king of Tang, and the envoy Huang Renlong sent by the imperial court to Beijing was placed under house arrest by Dolgon when he arrived in Beijing, but the deputy envoy quietly ran back, and the negotiations had completely broken down.

The letter said that Pang Tianshou seemed to be prepared to blame him and King Lu for not withdrawing troops from the Yangtze River at that time, and that the emperor had decided to personally raise the Sixth Division and send troops to capture Jiangnan.

The content of this letter is very complicated, and a lot of information is revealed at once, but it is only a few words, not clear, and it takes time to digest, but Wang Yan is sure of one thing, the emperor is ashamed and angry, and the situation in Jiangnan will become complicated.

After Wang Yan read it, he asked the guards to take down the letter and show it to He Tengjiao and others, and he himself rethought whether the issue of sending troops should be slowed down so that he could cooperate.

Several officials looked at it, and after a while, Chen Bangyan got up and said: "Your Highness, if Your Majesty wants to send troops, then the situation will be complicated, should we contact the imperial court in order to formulate a unified plan." ”

At this time, Wuchang can send out 20,000 soldiers, and when people insist on carrying spears and big swords, it is no problem to pull out more than 100,000 people, but the combat power will be greatly reduced, which is unwise behavior.

The Qing court has heavy troops stationed in Jiangnan and Lianghuai, and his 20,000 people can't stir up any storms, but if the court is ready to send troops, then with Wan Yuanji, Jin Shenghuan, and Zheng Chenggong, maybe they can make a big deal and hit the Manchus to the greatest extent.

Wang Yan immediately straightened up, and then said: "As soon as the troops are sent down, we will make a decision after seeing the movements of the imperial court, but you must be well prepared, and the army must be able to move at any time." Hao Shaoqi of Xiangyang was ordered to strengthen his defenses, and Ma Jinzhong, who was on the top, also gave his own spirit to the domain. ”

"Yes!" The people stood up and saluted.

Wang Yan immediately said to Wu Jinxi: "The matter of contacting Jiangxi will be handled by Lord Wu." ”

Wu Jinxi saluted and received the order, Wang Yan immediately waved his hand to let everyone disperse, he sat for a while, said goodbye to He Tengjiao, and returned to the temporary palace.

Although Wang Yan's forces were withdrawn from the imperial court, there was still an inextricable relationship between him and the imperial court, and what he had done, Emperor Longwu could quickly know, and the movements of the Longwu imperial court would also be informed by many officials who were good friends with him.

In the next few days, Wang Yan received more than a dozen letters, most of which were about the emperor's move to Ganzhou, or the emperor's preparation for his own conquest.

Among them, there are two letters that are particularly noteworthy, one is Zuo Maodi's explanation of the process of discussion and failure, and the emperor vomited blood, and then asked with melancholy about the odds of attacking Jiangnan, and the other is that Jiang Yueguang mentioned that after Xie Qian's envoy arrived in Anqing, Jin Shenghuan passed the news to the imperial court, and the emperor had sent an order to Jiangxi to prepare for the expedition.

The news from all parties was gathered, and Wang Yan gradually sorted out the context of the whole incident.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty negotiated peace, there was no news coming, saying that they were going to hand over Jiangnan and Huainan, but there was no follow-up, and the envoys sent by the imperial court to Beijing did not send back the slightest news, which aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

After Wang Yan withdrew from the Central Committee, Pang Tianshou took advantage of the emperor's favor and began to install party henchmen in the court, and many Chu Party positions were occupied by the eunuchs, which caused the dissatisfaction of the civilian official group and began to question the strategy of negotiating peace, so as to attack Pang Tianshou.

At this time, some maritime merchants indicated that they had discovered that the Manchus were buying guns and cannons from the Dutch to prepare for war, and soon after, the deputy envoy to Beijing fled, announcing the complete breakdown of the negotiations, and the Ming Dynasty was put on the table, and there was no doubt about it.

In the court, it was originally Wang Yan and Pang Tianshou who fought, but after Wang Yan left, the civil official group could only roll up their sleeves and go on their own.

The entire history of the Ming Dynasty, starting from Yingzong, is the most colorful of which is the struggle between the eunuchs and the Wenchen group.

The struggle between the two sides spread to several emperors, and the game was fought for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until the Chongzhen Dynasty that Wenchen completely gained the upper hand.

This is the result of the struggle of the ancestors, how can Pang Tianshou turn against the sky, and the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK took advantage of the failure of the peace talks to violently attack Pang Tianshou, making the pressure on him and the emperor very great.

In order to shirk his responsibility, Pang Tianshou quickly sent the deputy envoy to prison, and soon the deputy envoy died in prison inexplicably, and the confession said that Wang Yan and King Lu had sabotaged the peace and wanted to wash away their responsibilities, but Chen Zizhuang and others did not buy it.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan came with news again, the rebels of Lianghuai asked him for help, and also asked for help from the Lu and Hengyang domains, the emperor was angry and teased by the Manchus, and urgently needed to transfer the internal contradictions, so he made a decision to move to Ganzhou, personally conquer the Northern Expedition, and recover Nanjing, so as to break the passive situation.

When Longwu was controlled by Zheng Zhilong in Fujing, he thought about recruiting in person, but he couldn't achieve it, and this time he finally had to act.

Wang Yan had no opinion on the emperor's personal conquest, but he had doubts about whether he could recover Nanjing.

Judging from his own armaments, he can probably estimate that the preparations in Jiangxi and Fujian are also insufficient.

Jiangxi also fought a big war last year, although in Anqing to grab a lot of supplies, but want to attack Nanjing, obviously the strength is not enough, Zheng Chenggong's situation should be better than Jiangxi, but he has a strong sailor, but there are not many infantry troops, the emperor wants to recover Nanjing, I am afraid there is no hope, unless the three parties are united, there may be a chance, but the three have their own thoughts, it is difficult to pee into a pot.

Wang Yan waited for news in Wuchang, and within a few days, the emperor's will arrived in Wuchang, but the content was beyond Wang Yan's expectations.

The first is to reprimand him for interfering in the peace negotiations, which led to the failure of the peace negotiations, which he has seen in his previous letters, Pang Tianshou and the emperor want to throw the pot at him, he doesn't want to take it, but it is not easy to argue if he is not in the court.

The second is to let him send troops to attack Henan, contain the Liangshun kings in Henan, attract the Qing troops of Lianghuai to go north, and cooperate with the emperor to conquer Jiangnan.

The two Shun kings of Henan not only had to guard against Xiangyang, but also against Haoge, so they didn't need to send troops to attack, and the Qing soldiers in Henan did not dare to move casually.

Wang Yan understood when he heard this, the emperor wanted to take Nanjing by himself, and he was afraid that he would intervene in it, so he asked him to fight Henan.
