Zhang Weixian responded to Zhao Xing's letter warning and could only sigh helplessly: "It is absolutely unrealistic to expect those people to pay attention to this matter. Not to mention the result of your dark mentality, even if they know that this matter is very likely to happen, in order to cover up their incompetence and chaos, they will definitely talk lies against their conscience with their eyes closed and their conscience. We must have other preparations."

"The second step is to send Mao Shuai this 100,000 stones of food, hoping that he can recover from the great loss of strength in the Battle of Iron Mountain as soon as possible, so that Mao Shuai can continue to threaten the lair of the Later Jin Dynasty, so that he dare not act rashly."

"As far as I know, Mao Shuai protects North Korea's Tieshan Station, which has already gone all the elite, and he will never achieve anything anymore. Even with the support of your 100,000 stone of grain, it will be difficult for them to regroup."

"This is why I am going to go to Pi Island in Dongjiang Town in person. I must stop Yuan Chonghuan from killing Mao Shuai."

After Zhao Xing's analysis, Zhang Weixian already agreed that Yuan Chonghuan, who was forced to jump over the wall, would be detrimental to Mao Wenlong, so he asked nervously: "How can you stop him?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "Yuan Chonghuan would fabricate the crime and use the sword above to kill Mao Shuai. However, when the platform was right, Yuan Chonghuan asked all the generals in western Liaoning, including Mao Wenlong, to hand over Shang Fang Jian, but Mao Shuai did not hand over."

Zhang Weixian sighed: "This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong have a grudge against Mao Wenlong. At the same time, it is also the beginning of the emperor's grudge against Mao Wenlong. It is also the excuse of the Donglin Party members using the attack on Mao Wenlong's overseas emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Mao Wenlong, this move is too unwise."

The reason why the literati of the Ming Dynasty strictly guarded the military generals was that they had a knot in their hearts, that is, the martial arts would become a vassal state, and would eventually subvert the old empire like in previous dynasties. However, the entire Ming system had long since eliminated the possibility of vassal states in its infancy.

First of all, from the central government, there are two parts of the military's jurisdiction, namely the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the mobilization of the army, but cannot command it; while the Governor's Office of the Five Army is responsible for commanding it, but does not have the right to dispatch it.

The logistics of the army's marching is not under the jurisdiction of the army. It is strictly stipulated that marching along the way will be one county a day, and a county will only provide one day food. If you walk too much, you will not be able to eat the supply of the county. If you walk too little, the county will not give you the next meal.

Later, the capital was besieged, and the governor of Shanxi Geng Ruqi led 6,000 troops from Shanxi to serve the king. As a result, the Ministry of War commanded the riot and transferred for three days and five days. As a result, this army of soldiers who were dedicated to serving the king did not get food and food for five days. Therefore, these soldiers who were determined to serve the king were directly hungry and fled back to Shanxi, causing Geng Ruqi to be imprisoned and killed. These defeated soldiers were afraid of being punished for going home, so they directly joined the rebel army. These soldiers who had received military training immediately became the main force of these rebels, making the bandits who were originally a group of mobs, and in a blink of an eye, several levels of combat effectiveness were improved, and eventually became gravediggers of the court.

Mao Wenlong lived alone overseas and had long been criticized for being the overseas emperor. At the same time, he not only did not place his family as hostages in the capital according to the rules, but also refused to hand over to Shang Fangjian. Because of the special circumstances, he refused to accept the blind command of Yuan Chonghuan far away in western Liaoning. He was really an independent kingdom and a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the imperial court did not send him military pay, money and food, and he was at the level of step by step in the abyss today.

From this point of view, Mao Wenlong was also seeking death. Whether Yuan Chonghuan was to solve his worries for Huang Taiji or to kill Mao Wenlong for the unification of military power, at least he had the confidence to do so. Even Yuan Chonghuan had such a big deal. In the end, Chongzhen ended him and confirmed the reason for the ending of the matter.

But no matter what their purpose was, they ignored Mao Wenlong's huge strategic significance in Dongjiang Town for the entire battle between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Xing decided to start from this point to leverage the direction of this history.

"I went this time to encourage Mao Shuai to use Shangfang Sword to fight against Yuan Chonghuan. As long as Mao Shuai's banner does not fall, Jiannu will be afraid and he will not dare to do his best."

Zhang Weixian pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

"There is also to strengthen prevention and control in areas around the capital."

Zhang Weixian was in a dilemma at the time: "Although I am the Grand Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, I can only manage the imperial guards inside and outside the capital, and I can't intervene at all," and then smiled bitterly: "I dare not intervene."

Zhao Xing bowed his hand in understanding: "My nephew understands my uncle's difficulties. I hope that the information I went up can arouse the emperor's cabinet and the Ministry of War's vigilance, so that they can prepare." Then he also smiled bitterly: "But putting hope on them, I think that is dreaming, and everything depends on myself."

Zhang Cuiyan immediately responded: "Yes, we still have 200,000 soldiers in our hands. If we rectify them, we can fight."

Zhang Weixian shook his head helplessly: "As your brother said, the situation of the surrounding guards reported by Xu Guangqi back then was the same among our Beijing Imperial Guards? It is also the same as that of the Jinyiwei. The emperors of all dynasties have rewarded the children of those meritorious ministers, part of which came out of the Jinyiwei, and the other part was from our personal guards, plus layers of empty quotas. The 200,000 gold army in name was actually only 110,000, and the quality was mixed, and there was insufficient money and food, so there was no way to train. This was just an empty shell to scare people."

Zhang Cuiyan immediately mentioned: "Don't you still have five thousand personal soldiers in your hands?"

Zhang Weixian nodded: "It's only a little bit of strength that can fight."

Damn, you have 5,000 personal soldiers alone. This is only the money and food of three or four soldiers. How much blood has your British Duke ate?

Zhang Zhiji also proposed: "In addition to the personal soldiers of other generals, when the war comes, they can be unified with at least ten thousand people." It is a common practice for generals to adopt personal soldiers. Fighting to the death is not necessarily a matter of turning the situation around, but there is no problem in saving lives.

Zhang Weixian nodded: "This is useful, only ten thousand, and facing the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, you cannot turn the situation around."

Zhao Xing immediately said word by word: "Just seek to save your life."

Zhang Weixian was furious: "It's okay if you say so much and say it bluntly. How could you let me just save my life in times of crisis in the country?"

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and stared at his eyes: "Donglin will definitely use this battle to force you to fight and kill someone with a knife."

Hearing this, Zhang Weixian stood there blankly, with Zhang Cuiyan and Zhang Zhiji already looking panicked.

After a long time, Zhang Weixian waved his hand and said to Zhao Xing: "You have said everything you should say, and I have a clear idea of ​​what you should do. You, go."
