East Factory Governor

Chapter 626
Zhou House.

Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi, and Chen Shang drank tea in the exquisite living room.

All three are satisfied with their first move.

The main reason is that Chongzhen went to Zhou Yanru in the morning and asked him why the governors of various places wanted to have disputes with Wulin.Zhou Yanru told Chongzhen that it was not the governors from all over the country who were in dispute with the martial arts, but that the various factions of the martial arts are now guarding one side with the help of the martial arts coalition, which is very important, so they deliberately come to trouble the government.

Zhou Yanru pinned the blame on Wulin, and hinted that Chongzhen and various factions in Wulin did this in order to test the bottom line of the court and prepare for greater turmoil in the future.Although he didn't explicitly say that Qin Shuhuai would lead various martial arts factions to rebel, he believed that Chongzhen had already heard his voice-over.

Chongzhen's reaction was to remain silent for a long time, and then asked Zhou Yanru to take strict precautions, adhere to the principle of "no provocation, no connivance", and be neither humble nor overbearing towards all martial arts factions, try not to make things big, and don't make excessive concessions to damage the dignity of the court.

Zhou Yanru vowed to agree, and then shouted at the emperor's wisdom.

And in the past few days, news came from the Dark Cloud Sect that the factory guards in various places no longer protected those actors and storytellers who deceived the public with their lies.However, those people may also be afraid, and they seldom come out recently.

This convinced Zhou Yanru that Dong Lin's strategy had initially shown results.

The emperor is indeed afraid of martial arts, just like all emperors in history.

If things go on like this, after a while, the common people will naturally forget about the "Wen Jian Biography". After this incident, the emperor will be able to realize the energy of our Donglin and the danger of Qin Shuhuai. It is really the best of both worlds.

So in the past few days, Zhou Yanru's complexion has improved a lot, not as gloomy as it was a few days ago.

Qian Qianyi has lived in Zhou Yanru's mansion for the past few days, and the strategy he offered this time has immediate results, so he has received various praises from the Donglin civil servants, and he is in a very good mood.

"Zhou Xiang, the Dahongpao in the mansion is comparable to the Dragon Well in Hangzhou. It has a lingering fragrance and aftertaste of sweetness and bitterness. It is really a masterpiece in the world. I am lucky to drink it for three years!" Qian Qianyi said with a smile, "I will thank Zhou for the invitation next time." Ming."

Zhou Yanru smiled softly, "If Mr. Qian likes it, I will ask you to take a can back later."

Qian Qianyi said desperately, "Haha, then I would like to thank Zhou Xiang for letting go."

Zhou Yanru took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Qian, I heard that your high apprentice Li Fu is serving as the governor of Zhejiang, is it okay?"

Li Fu was naturally the previous prefect of Ningbo.After Qin Shuhuai recommended him to Chongzhen, Chongzhen personally sent someone to investigate, and felt that this person was indeed available, so when Wang Huazhen was taken down, he was directly promoted to be the governor of Zhejiang.

Li Fu stayed in Donglin Academy in his early years, and Qian Qianyi was a lecturer at Donglin Academy, so speaking of it, Li Fu was Qian Qianyi's student.

Zhou Yanru's sudden mention of Li Fu was naturally intentional.

As soon as Li Fu was mentioned, Zhou Yanru became furious, "Zhou Xiang, don't mention this person anymore, I have already broken my master-student status with him!"

"Oh, why?"

"This Li Fu, although quite talented and learned, is proud of himself and does his own way. Since he became the governor of Zhejiang, he has become even more arrogant. Even I, a teacher, dismissed it. Let me say that this joint performance, I, the governor of Donglin, Who didn't play? He is the only one, but he is an exception! Moreover, in Zhejiang Province, he also strictly ordered the guards not to search for those who deceive the public with lies, let alone any conflicts with other martial arts factions. Hehe, such ungrateful people, I How can we be called master and apprentice with him again?"

Zhou Yanru nodded slightly, "Mr. Dayi. This Li Fu, when we settle the matter at hand, it's time to beat him up."

"So Zhou Xiang, what should we do now?" Chen Shang asked.

Zhou Yanru chuckled, "What to do, what to do. Isn't Qin Shuhuai going to be a loyal minister? That is to let him be. If he wants to quell the conflict between the court and the martial arts, he must first defeat the Tartars. Look, he will soon I can't sit still anymore, and I will attack the Santun camp in a few days. At that time, the Tartars will definitely inflict heavy damage on his martial arts coalition forces. Of course, the Tartars will not be much better off, and they will have to withdraw after this battle Central Plains."

Chen Shang said without losing the opportunity, "Zhou Xiang is really clever! They bite the dog, and no matter who wins, they will be half dead. At that time, the world will still belong to our Donglin!"

Zhou Yanru glared at Chen Shang, and said solemnly, "Nonsense! The world, that is the emperor's world!"

Chen Shang chuckled, "Yes, yes, what Zhou Xiang said is true."

In a flash, five days passed.

The Tartar army in Santun camp did not wait for the [-] Ming army.

The [-] Ming troops did leave the customs, but they withdrew again halfway through the march.

It seems to have received some orders temporarily.

The Ming army in Qian'an and Zunhua also stood still.

It looks a little weird.

Huang Taiji couldn't sit still.

The Tartar generals couldn't sit still.

If there is a decisive battle, of course they want to fight it as soon as possible, because the food and grass will not be enough if it is delayed.But after five days of nervous tension, they found that the Ming army still hadn't come to fight.

Why did you stop playing all of a sudden?
Conservatives such as Dai Shan put forward a sensational argument: The Ming army increased its troops in order to encircle and wipe them out!Because the soldiers and horses have not arrived yet, they are waiting now.

This can also explain why the 3 people were clearly out of customs, but they withdrew back.

Qin Shuhuai must have received the Ming court's promise to increase his troops, so he didn't want to fight an early decisive battle, so he withdrew the 3 people back.

This theory is very imaginative, but it seems very reasonable.

In the Tazi army, some seasoned and prudent generals tended to believe this view.reason?Because Daming is so big, they have a boundless land and countless sources of soldiers!Now that the Demon Sect is standing still and the bandits are basically wiped out, the Ming army can naturally increase its troops.

This time, Huang Taiji also realized that something was wrong.

He found that Qin Shuhuai didn't want to fight him decisively before winter.

He was waiting for reinforcements, but he was afraid that he would withdraw again, so he deliberately sent those 3 people to Malanyu to go around, trying to give the illusion of a full-scale attack and let him wait for him to attack.

He is using his eagerness for revenge to drag our army to the Central Plains.

And once winter comes, there will be no food in the army, and there will be no way out, and the Ming army will have an advantage after receiving reinforcements.

The most important reason why Huang Taiji didn't retreat before was because he believed that Qin Shuhuai would take advantage of the victory to attack Santunying.In this case, the Eight Banners Army is fully capable of defeating the Ming Army relying on the Santunying Jiancheng.

But now he found that Qin Shuhuai had no such intention at all.

So there was no reason for him to continue to stay in Santunying - if he couldn't defeat Qin Shuhuai and chose to spend the winter in the pass, he would be seeking his own death.

Even though he was not reconciled, even if he went back like this, his Khan position would suffer another blow, but he couldn't take the risk of Dajin's national fortune.

At this time, Fan Wencheng also gave him the same suggestion.

If you can't fight in September, then withdraw!
