Sun Tai's change in mood, Liu Jingting saw it in his eyes, originally he should not have taken the initiative to bring up the matter of returning to Shun, such a thing can not be in a hurry, it needs to see what Sun Tai's attitude is, but when it comes to this, Liu Jingting thinks that the opportunity is very good, and he began to take the initiative to mention the matter of returning to Shun.

When it came to the matter of returning to Shun, Sun Tai's expression immediately began to change, and his attitude was similar to that when he first entered the private room, he put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Brother Liu, this matter, don't talk about it for the time being, this official has received such a great favor from the imperial court, stationed in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and has lost Zhejiang before, the imperial court has not blamed, this official should do his best to do a good job in the matter, as for the meaning of Lord Su, this official understands it, and if you meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be a life-and-death relationship."

Sun Tai said very resolutely, but unfortunately Liu Jingting will not believe these superficial words, this person is like this, if he does not have the slightest interest in something, he will not start at all, since he has agreed on the place to meet and came to the restaurant, it means that he has ideas in his heart.

"Lord Sun doesn't have to say so resolutely, there are some things in the next place, I need to explain, Lord Sun can know that His Royal Highness King De will suspend the attack for something, to say that it is not very difficult to take Nanjing City, if His Royal Highness leads a large army and surrounds Nanjing City, it will not take long to be able to capture it, after that year, the Golden Tartars occupied Dalinghe City, Xuanzhou, Fuzhou and Gaizhou and other places, so many adults in the court thought that these places were indestructible, but His Royal Highness led the army and quickly took it, Besides, the Jiangning battalion has been on the expedition for so many years, which time it was a feather and a feather, not to mention. Let's just say that the attacks in Guangdezhou and Ningguofu and other places, His Royal Highness carefully deployed, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in one sentence, and such results are clearly in front of you. ”

Sun Tai looked at Liu Jingting and did not speak. He has seriously considered these things, according to the current situation, thinking of relying on tens of thousands of soldiers to completely hold the city of Nanjing, the possibility is not very large, especially after the incident of Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande, the officials and sergeants have suffered a great impact, and their morale is far less than before.

"The reason why His Highness didn't attack right away. It is considered from three aspects, one is that Nanjing City is a prosperous place, the soldiers are everywhere, the lives are ruined, the conquest is always the people suffer, the damage is always huge, His Royal Highness does not want the people to suffer too big losses, nor does he want the prosperity of Nanjing City to be ruined. Therefore, if the offensive is suspended, the suspension of the offensive does not mean that there will be no attack. ”

"The second is from the perspective of the situation in Liaodong. Once the city of Nanjing is encircled and the tragic battle begins, the imperial court will definitely send a large number of reinforcements, hoping to be able to hold Nanjing, and there are almost no troops in the south to reinforce, so the eyes of the imperial court. It will be aimed at Liaodong and Datong, Ningxia and other places, these places are border passes, and the Houjin Tartars and Mongolian Tatars are eyeing each other, once the troops in these places are withdrawn, resulting in the emptiness of the troops in the border passes. Houjin Tartar and Mongolian Tartar take advantage of the situation to attack, will cause more heavy losses, His Royal Highness will not ignore the overall situation, Houjin Tartar's every move, His Royal Highness is well aware, now Houjin Tartar, not only did not abide by the agreement of submission, but in the large-scale recruitment of soldiers and hoarding grain and grass, its wolf ambitions, obvious. ”

"His Royal Highness has repeatedly conquered the Houjin Tartars, and he is deeply disgusted by the ambition and brutality of the Houjin Tartars, His Highness is committed to the stability of the border passes, and what he has done is also known to the world, and His Royal Highness is determined to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars and the Mongolian Tartars, and restore the prestige of my Han Dynasty."

"The third is from the situation of Lord Sun, Zhu Youxiang's experience, His Royal Highness King De is very clear, in the capital, the eunuchs are in charge, the upright minister of civil and military affairs has almost no room to speak, such a miasma, in the end, it is the people who are hurt, just say that Lord Sun's current situation, if he loses Nanjing, can he still have the opportunity to return to the capital, Lord Sun has not been from the capital to Nanzhili for a long time, and the things in the court are very clear, and I don't want to bother to speak, just say that there are many things that happened in the city of NanjingIf Master Sun doesn't have the slightest understanding, he won't be able to understand it. ”

"The cabinet of Lord Qian and the eunuch Cao Huachun came to Nanjing, originally when their lives were in danger, they should be conscientious, relying on Lord Sun and many officials of Nanzhili to strengthen the defense of Nanjing City, but what Lord Qian did, even His Royal Highness King De felt incredible, and actually thought of agitating scholars and students to resist my Jiangning battalion army, but I don't know that those scholars and students have a good mouth, and they really went to the battlefield, I am afraid that they are almost the same as the old and weak women and children."

"Lord Qian and Cao Huachun didn't think about relying on Lord Sun, they were keen on their own understanding, and used such ridiculous arrangements to deploy the defense of Nanjing City, how could they protect Nanjing City, and when Nanjing City was lost, who would bear the responsibility, I don't want to say more about it, I believe Lord Sun understands."

"The so-called people who know the times are Junjie, His Royal Highness King De is diligent and loves the people, wise and wise, will be able to restore the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, make my Ming Dynasty rich and strong, Sun Daren is also a scholar, the truth is clear, His Royal Highness Dewang loves talents, does not want to see Sun Daren fall into fire and water, and hopes that Sun Daren can consider the people of Nanjing City, and consider the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so he sent him to make a special trip to see Sun Daren, which is painstaking, and I hope that Sun Daren can understand." ……

Liu Jingting in the process of stating the reason, Sun Tai was like sitting on pins and needles, and a lot of uneasiness emerged in his heart, Liu Jingting was able to say these words casually, it was necessary to support a lot of intelligence, it seems that Su Tiancheng knows the situation in Nanjing well, if he makes up his mind to attack Nanjing City, I am afraid that he can also take it in the shortest possible time, Sun Tai even estimates that he can't wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court, I am afraid that Su Tiancheng has already taken Nanjing City.

Su Tiancheng looked at the overall situation, and while attacking Nanzhili, he saw the situation in the capital, saw the danger in Liaodong and Datong, and took into account the suffering of the common people.

It is said that the Houjin Tartars and Mongolian Tatars launched an attack from the direction of Liaodong and Datong, which was of great help to Su Tiancheng to unify the world, but Su Tiancheng did not think so, from Liu Jingting's words, Sun Tai strongly felt an emotion, that is, Su Tiancheng cared very much about the interests of the people, the interests of the country, and regarded the opposition to the imperial court as an internal matter, just like a family dispute, and must not let outsiders take the opportunity to interfere.

Sun Tai didn't know how to express his position, in fact, the discussion between him and Ma Shiying, focusing on the matter of returning to Su Tiancheng, the opinions of the two were relatively unified, especially Ma Shiying, whose attitude was more resolute, thinking that the court was in a mess, and the new marshal and supervisor did not care about the defense of Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion at all, and the loss of Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion was only a matter of time.

But Sun Tai didn't want to make a statement soon, whether it was out of his own considerations or in the long run, if he made a statement too early, wouldn't it make the world's scholars look down.

Until he left the Four Seas Restaurant, Sun Tai didn't say anything, didn't refuse Liu Jingting, and didn't agree.

After returning to the official residence, Sun Tai began to feel the pressure, he once analyzed with Ma Shiying, it is said that when Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande were escorted to the capital, it was when the people's hearts were unstable, if Su Tiancheng launched an attack at this time, he could play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort, and he could take Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion in the shortest possible time, but Su Tiancheng did not do this, could it be that there were some difficulties in his own right, or there were other hardships.

Seeing Liu Jingting today, the reason for this finally understood, it turned out that Su Tiancheng gave him Sun Tai a chance, unwilling to fall into the artillery fire of Nanjing City, unwilling to cause huge losses, unwilling to be controlled, Nanjing City became a hell on earth, such painstaking efforts, he and Ma Shiying really did not expect.

Sun Tai quickly thought of Ma Shiying, I don't know how Su Tiancheng will treat Ma Shiying, to say that it is much easier to attack Fengyang Mansion, Fengyang Mansion City because it is the land of Longxing, in order to avoid the royal spirit being blocked, so the Mansion City has no city walls, if the Jiangning Battalion attacks Fengyang Mansion City, it can be easily taken, so the pressure on Ma Shiying is very great, Ma Shiying only has 30,000 soldiers under his command, and then Zhu Youxiang took into account the special situation of Fengyang Mansion and allocated 20,000 soldiers, the total number is 50,000 people, but these 50,000 soldiers, In front of the powerful Jiangning battalion, how long can it be supported.

Sun Tai can be sure that if Ma Shiying encounters such a situation, if Su Tiancheng sends someone to persuade him to surrender, Ma Shiying will not hesitate to express his position, and there will never be such a hesitation as him.

Of course, Sun Tai also needs to pay attention to the movements of Qian Qianyi, Cao Huachun and others, as well as Huang Tingping, Yi Ligao and Zou Pingzhang and others, especially Huang Tingping, who is just the supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he looks high, it seems to be the imperial history from the capital, and it seems that he is a student of Qian Qianyi, so he can completely represent Qian Qianyi.

Sun Tai needed to pay more attention to the Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi all over Nanjing City, because of Zhu Youxiang's affairs, because of the submission of the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian, and because of the submission of Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and Lu Xiangsheng and others, the imperial court deliberately strengthened the supervision of the officials of Nanzhili to prevent similar situations. Sun Tai knew very well that if Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi found clues, it would be a real disaster. (To be continued......)
