Ming Zuo

Chapter 1144 Under the Surface
"Your Majesty, Ning Nanbo has written a letter in tears. He has led his subordinates to stand ready, and he can send his troops to the east at any time. To share the worries of the king, and to kill relatives with righteousness. Let me tell you, there is no one as loyal as Ning Nanbo in this civil and military dynasty." gone."

In the inner hall, Wang Chengen presented a memorial to Chongzhen.As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, obviously deeply moved.

But the few cabinet ministers sitting below tried their best to hold back their laughter, for fear that the king would lose his dignity.

For Ning Nanbo, it has already become a big joke in the eyes of the world.

As an old man, he is so shameless that his son beats him all over the place.Really shameless, invincible in the world.

After receiving such a memorial, Chongzhen was also quite moved.

However, given the situation, he didn't dare to make a random decision.

"Yang Aiqing, are you really going to fall short?"

When he was in trouble, the person he trusted the most was Yang Sichang.

Compared with him, Yang Sichang was even more depressed.

After all, Yang Sichang presided over the strategy of uniting the Zheng family to deal with Xia Guo, and he also had very unpleasant quarrels with important ministers from all over the place.

If it ends hastily, it will also be a heavy blow to his prestige.

Even in order to maintain his own authority, Yang Sichang was unwilling to stop there.

However, he was still calm and knew that he could not act rashly.

"In my humble opinion, I should quickly send capable spies into the Xia Kingdom. Let's see how much the Xia Kingdom lost after the battle with the Zheng family. If the losses are heavy, I think that I should send troops immediately."

Yang Sichang made it very clear.

Whether to fight or not to fight will be determined according to the outcome of the war between Xia and Zheng.

On this point, all the cabinet ministers present agreed very much.

"Call Han Chuan."

If it is said that Yang Sichang was the person Chongzhen trusted the most in the imperial court, then among the factory guards, the person he trusted the most was Han Chuan.

"Daming's deployment of troops is like this. Among them, Zuo... is the most active, and even submitted a petition to Chongzhen."

At the military meeting of the command headquarters, Liu Yiyuan informed everyone of Daming's movements.When talking about Zuo Liangyu, because of Zuo Menggeng's face, he paused.

But Zuo Menggeng didn't care.

"Hmph, he is really stubborn and self-defeating."

For that cheap father, Zuo Menggeng became more and more disgusted in his heart.

No way, just what he knew from history books in his previous life was already unacceptable to him.Now that he knows more, he can hold back his murderous intentions, all because of the reality of etiquette.

How could there be such a devil in this world!
Wherever he went, chickens and dogs did not stay.

Even the most ferocious bandits are three points inferior to him.

Since Zuo Liangyu completely disregarded family affection and was determined to be the executioner of the old feudal forces, the anger in Zuo Menggeng's heart gradually accumulated to the extreme.

But before the time comes, you can't mess around, and you can't tarnish your reputation.

"Commander Mao, how are you doing, are you sure?"

In order to deal with Xia Guo, Daming deployed heavy troops around Shandong.

Zuo Liangyu was stationed in Daming Mansion, and behind him were He Renlong and Zu Dabi who had just been transferred.

Cao Bianjiao has also arrived in Kaifeng and can catch up at any time.

This can be said to be the most powerful force in the Ming army.

Once a war breaks out, it can only be faced independently by the Central Military Region.

But Mao Yuanyi looked relaxed.

"If it weren't for the overall situation, relying solely on the strength of our Central Military Region, it would be effortless to destroy these local chickens and dogs."

Everyone didn't think he was bragging.

Today's Central Military Region has two regular divisions, the Second Division and the Ninth Division, with a strength of more than [-] troops.In addition, there are more than [-] local troops and militia troops, which together have a total of [-] troops.

Not to mention destroying the main force of the Ming army, even pushing the capital and capturing the capital is no problem.

It's just that Xia Guo's strategic focus is not in this direction now, so Mao Yuanyi endured it and gave the Ming army some illusions.

"The news from eastern Liaodong is that there has been a severe drought this summer. There has been no rain for three months, and there is no harvest in the farmland. It is estimated that this winter will not be easy for the Qing Dynasty."

Zuo Fu did his duty and sorted out the information of all hostile forces.And he believes that the situation in Liaodong is the most important.

"Huang Taiji is likely to use troops against Daming."

Zuo Yong made a judgment on the spot.

Many people didn't turn their minds around for a while, and it took a long time to understand why.

Last year in North Korea, Manchu and Xia Guo fought a big battle.

Although it caused North Korea to split into two and sucked a lot of blood from North Korea, its own losses were equally heavy.

Now because of natural disasters, the agricultural production has been reduced, which will definitely hurt the vitality.

With the virtue of the northern peoples, in this case, they can only send troops to plunder.

The Manchus were devastated, North Korea was completely exploited, and the situation in Mongolia was similar.Then the only looting target was Daming, who had a rich family but was extremely weak.

Zuo Menggeng knew about this period of history.

In this year, Manchu Qing launched another battle against Ming Dynasty.

The peasant army who had been beaten to death, with the help of the Manchu invaders, not only breathed a sigh of relief and flourished again, but the losses suffered by Daming were even more terrible.

In the original history, this time the Manchu Qing even attacked Shandong, broke through the city of Jinan, and looted all Dewang's family.

But now Shandong is the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and with the strength of the Xia Kingdom, they are not afraid of the Manchus attacking at all.

But preparations still need to be made.

"Your Central Military Region must be on guard carefully, and all units must enter a state of combat readiness. In any case, you must be careful to guard against the surprise attack of the Qing Dynasty."

Mao Yuanyi nodded, taking this matter as the main point.

In recent years, various units have achieved brilliant results in different directions.Only their central military region did not win any battles because they defended the center.

If the period expires and they really attack Shandong, it is estimated that all the generals will be able to laugh.

In addition to the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was another place that involved Xia Guo's energy.

"Nobuzuna Matsudaira is at the end of the road, and it won't be long before he can be completely wiped out."

Because of Xia Guo's participation, Nobuzuna Matsudaira was blocked on the Shimabara Peninsula.Now trapped in the mountains, there is no way out.

Nearly [-] troops were entangled in the Tokugawa shogunate, and they wanted to come to the rescue.However, being blocked by Xia Guo's navy, he could only look at the ocean and sigh.

The Tokugawa shogunate tried their best to search and build many ships, trying to rush to Kyushu Island from all directions to meet Nobuzuna Matsudaira.As a result, they were all discovered by Xia Guo's navy and suffered heavy losses.

Even Tokugawa Iemitsu was a little desperate.

Just deployed the army in key places such as Edo and Osaka, no longer extravagantly expected to land on Kyushu Island, and completely drove the Xia army away.

Without the support of the shogunate, it is only a matter of time before the shogunate army on Kyushu Island is wiped out.

"The Tokugawa shogunate thought that if they stick to it, everything will be fine. Then they are very wrong. Do they really think that our army of Xia Kingdom can't land in Japan?"

With a smile on the corner of Zuo Menggeng's mouth, he began to plan a big surprise for the Dongying people.
