Chongzhen felt reasonable, nodded again and again, and sighed: "I just need the help of a capable minister like Wen Qiao, otherwise there will be Zu Dashou and others in the north, and Xia Xia in the south. "Although the promotion of Xia Nan from earl to marquis in such a short period of time is not in line with Chongzhen's character, but the outstanding military exploits of more than 2,000 Tartar heads, without giving some decent rewards, it is indeed unreasonable, and it is difficult to block the mouths of people in the world. Anyway, Xia Nan is already Ping Nanbo, and it doesn't hurt to be a marquis, anyway, don't give him real power, and don't let him have a chance to enhance his strength.

Yang Sichang took the opportunity to continue to peddle his political ideas: "Therefore, the minister proposed to levy training and expropriation salaries, and increase the army by 120,000. As long as His Majesty has enough troops, there is no need to pin all his hopes on Zu Dashou, Xia Nanzhi and others, so that they will not have the capital to bargain with the imperial court, and then get stuck in the grain and salary, and these problems will be solved. ”

A rare smile appeared on Chongzhen's pale face: "With your words, my heart will be steady." ”

Yang Sichang changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the military general in charge of escorting the head of Qionghai Town said that in the summer, Nan wanted to lead the army to intercept the slave chief Abatai in Tianjin, but he was suffering from a lone army and was weak, and he wanted the military department to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Tianjin to help him. These words happened to be heard by Wen Shoufu, and he couldn't hide it, tomorrow in the court, this matter may be discussed, what does Your Majesty think about this matter? ”

Chongzhen thought for a while: "Since he wants to fight Abatai, then let him fight, and if he wants to send troops for reinforcements, then transfer!" If you can recreate a slave, or even behead a Baylor, it will be a great victory that has not been seen in decades, and more than 2,000 heads will be compared......"

Yang Sichang sighed: "Your Majesty, Abatai is just an idle Baylor of Jiannu, and his status is far lower than that of the Dolgon brothers, Daishan and others, even if he can kill this person, for Jiannu, it does not hurt his muscles and bones, but it may anger Jiannu, so that the pseudo-Khan Emperor Taiji has the best excuse to enter the prison in a big way, so that Daming will fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Chongzhen frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he successively deposed Mang Gurtai and banned Amin to consolidate the Khan's throne, but there are still Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig brothers who are eyeing the Khan's throne, and it is said that Abatai is also quite complaining. It is precisely with the containment of the struggle for power and profit that Huang Taiji can not go south wholeheartedly to deal with my Daming, if he kills Abatai, wouldn't it be to eradicate an opponent for Huang Taiji? At that time, Huang Taiji will go south in the name of revenge, and Dolgon and others will not be able to object, and at the same time, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng will not be able to withdraw from northern Shaanxi, so Liaodong will be in danger and Daming will be in danger! ”

Chongzhen was taken aback: "If it weren't for the weak reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake!" In that case, how? I can't order Qionghai to let Abatai go, can I? ”

Yang Sichang whispered: "It's very simple, one word: drag!" As long as there is no helper in Xia Nan and Tianjin Wei does not supply grain and grass, Abatai can get rid of the interception and leave. In this way, His Majesty does not have to bear the infamy, and he can also investigate the fault of Xia Nanyi's delay in the fighter. ”

"Then if you let Abatai return to the north, won't it make Azig like a tiger with wings, and the north will be full of wolf smoke and misery, won't it become my sin?" Chongzhen hesitated.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Yang Sichang's eyes: "Once you will succeed, your majesty will achieve a great cause, and some sacrifices are inevitable." The minister has already written a letter to Liaodong, after receiving the letter, Fang Yizao will send someone to Shengjing to talk with Huang Taiji secretly, as long as the peace can be successful, the north is pacified, free up his hands to exterminate the Liukou, get rid of the trouble of the henchmen, everything is worth it. ”

Chongzhen fell silent, the dim candlelight shining on his face, flickering and dimming, and there was no joy or sorrow. Wang Chengen, who was on the side, listened to all this conversation in his ears, showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and secretly shook his head. He felt that Lord Yang's idea was too cruel to the people, and he didn't think so, but his identity determined that he couldn't interfere in the government, unless the emperor took the initiative to ask him, he could say two words of his opinion, and he couldn't intervene in the current situation.

After a long time, Chongzhen spoke: "Just according to what Qing said!" ”

That night, more than ten horsemen went out of the city from Chongwenmen and galloped away in the direction of Tianjin Wei overnight.

Tianjin Wei.

Yang Youji followed Xia Nan's instructions and led people to look for Panda, but after looking for a day and a night, he searched all the three guards in Tianjin, and he couldn't see Panda's whereabouts.

When Xia Nan learned the news, he said hatefully: "This guy is deliberately hiding." Forget it, I don't have time to play hide and seek with him, it's important to do our business. Calculating the time, Abatai is only afraid that he has already passed Cangzhou and is about to reach the boundary of Tianjin, so he will arrange for the troops to prepare to intercept it, and as soon as the order of the military department arrives, he will mobilize the soldiers and horses in Tianjin and Baoding, and lay a net of heaven and earth, so that it will be difficult for Abatai to fly with wings. ”

Yang Youji asked: "Don't want the grain and grass?" ”

"Our grain and grass can still be supported at present, let's finish Abatai first. When I have Abatai's head in hand, even if I smash the granary of Tianjin Wei, no one will dare to make a noise, and grain and grass will not be a problem. ”

In a private house in the south of the Tianjin Acropolis, Pan Da was sweating profusely and fanning his fan, drinking tea in a large bowl.

Since he knew the relationship between Xia Nan and Wen Tiren, he decided not to give Xia Nan a grain of food, but he didn't dare to go against it head-on, so he thought of this trick. In order to avoid the search of Joan's navy, he hid in the house of one of his men, and it was already the next day. Because he was afraid of leaking the news, none of the concubines in the family dared to bring it, and the days when no one served him made him very unaccustomed to it, and the resentment towards Xia Nan in his heart increased a little.

On the evening of the second day, one of his subordinates came over and reported a message: "My lord, someone from the capital has come to the capital, saying that he wants you to go back to the yamen to listen to the order." ”

"Beijing?" Pan Da was a little puzzled, "Lao Tzu has been assigned to Tianjin Wei, and the people who used to call him brother and brother are gone, who else remembers me?" ”

That being said, he still had a bit of luck in returning to the power circle in the capital, and he didn't want to miss any opportunity, and asked, "Who is here, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

"I heard them say that they were from the military department, and they said that they wanted to keep important matters secret, and they had to tell the adults, and they couldn't be told by others. I'm waiting at the Yamen now. ”

It was actually from the military department, and it was arranged so mysteriously that it immediately aroused Panda's curiosity. He thought for a moment and ordered: "You hurry back to the Yamen, just say that I will check the soldiers and horses in Tianjin Sanwei, check the empty salary, and let them wait." After dark, I went back through the back door of the yamen. ”

The subordinate agreed and was about to leave, but Panda added: "Don't be lazy, eat and drink well." ”

"Little one understands."
