From southwest to north, Yue Zhongqi's status in the army not only did not decrease but went further, which made him very excited for a moment. The little thoughts that had previously suspected Zhu Yicheng disappeared instantly, replaced by extremely ashamed and grateful.

The so-called scholars die for their confidants. Yue Zhongqi's feeling surged in his heart at this moment. If he were asked to die for Zhu Yicheng at this moment, he would probably not frown.

Seeing Yue Zhongqi's expression change, Zhu Yicheng naturally understood in his heart.

This time, the Northern War Zone was set up and Yue Zhongqi was placed in such an important position. This was also the result of Zhu Yicheng's careful consideration.

In fact, what Zhu Yicheng said to Yue Zhongqi before was true or false? Yue Zhongqi must believe it now, but Zhu Yicheng himself did not believe it at all.

Although he was considering the southwest and northwest, as a general in command, Zhu Yicheng would not have any suspicion? You should know that no matter how generous the leader is, he should be on the sidelines, let alone Zhu Yicheng is the emperor!

The ancient emperors fought for power to kill their father, kill their son, kill their father, kill their brothers, and rebelled their subordinates... These are countless. Not to mention that, wasn't this the case in the Qing Dynasty? How did Kangxi abdicate? How did Jianxing ascend the throne? How did Prince Yong suddenly become regent? It was all for the word "power".

Although Zhu Yicheng was the emperor of the past, the Ming Dynasty was revived from him, and it was unparalleled in terms of prestige. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that he was not at all prepared for his subordinates, and he is not a fool. If this were the case, Zhu Yicheng would have long known how many times he had died in recent years.

Zhu Yicheng used his subjects only to use his talents, and mainly focused on ability. As for character, he did not pay too much attention to it, because he could use strict and perfect laws to restrict his behavior. At the same time, Zhu Yicheng's control over the control of ministers and the balance of power in power has been practiced in recent years. Although Zhu Yicheng knew that he had never rebelled against him and was also a pure soldier, he still had to finalize it when necessary. This is not only a reminder for him, but also for others to see it, so as to prevent some people from having unnecessary thoughts after being too busy.

According to Zhu Yicheng's original idea, he planned to leave Yue Zhongqi in the capital for some time, and at least wait until the second military operation in Liaodong begins after the beginning of next spring, then transfer Yue Zhongqi to Liaodong as Dong Dashan's deputy. Who would think that people's calculations are worse than heaven's calculations? The series of actions by Prince Yi in Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty caused changes in the situation in Liaodong, which made Zhu Yicheng weigh the pros and cons when he was temporarily unable to launch military operations in winter, and thus turned his attention to Mongolia.

Therefore, under the instruction of Zhu Yicheng, the Ortai side, which was temporarily shelved, became a pawn for use. Through the Jinyiwei side, he won over Ortai and readjust the strategic deployment of the north, which could not only stabilize Mongolia, but also restrain the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, and at the same time divide the Qing Dynasty, and then prevent the Russians from the north.

After these plans are decided, Zhu Yicheng must have a suitable executor in the north. This executor must not only have strong military capabilities, but also strongly implement Zhu Yicheng's plan. Originally, Ma Gongcheng was a suitable candidate in Shanxi, both abilities and qualifications are sufficient, but like Yue Zhongqi, Ma Gongcheng led his troops outside for so long, even if his loyalty is unquestionable, it is not a good thing for a long time.

What's more, Ma Gongcheng is now the Minister of Military Affairs, but he has always been outside, which is not a good thing for the operation of the Military Affairs Office. Moreover, the reason why the Military Affairs Office had done so many things before was the imbalance between civil and military affairs within the Military Affairs Office. Zhuang Yan alone could not suppress the joint efforts of the civil service group. Moreover, Jiang Jin is now leading the military affairs, and Ma Gongcheng must come back at this time.

Looking inside and outside the court, Zhu Yicheng didn't have many suitable candidates, but Zhuang Yan was the right one, but he was also a minister of military affairs. If he was sent there, then even if Ma Gongcheng came back, it would be no different from before. So after choosing, the most suitable candidate was Yue Zhongqi, who was temporarily in the capital.

When Yue Zhongqi was summoned, Zhu Yicheng completely dispelled the other party's original concerns with the previous words and reasons. Not only did this also make Yue Zhongqi feel grateful, which made Zhu Yicheng secretly proud, and at the same time, he also had more expectations for Yue Zhongqi after going to the north.

Since you want to put Yue Zhongqi in this position, some things must be explained clearly to him.

Next, Zhu Yichengzai carefully explained the changes in Liaodong with Yue Zhongqi, as well as a series of policies to win over Mongolia, target the Qing Dynasty in the Northeast and Northwest, and guard against northern Russia.

After listening to what Zhu Yicheng said, Yue Zhongqi realized the importance of his task. He originally thought that he was just leading troops to fight, but who thought that there were so many problems?

However, the more this happens, the more excited Yue Zhongqi is. Doesn’t this just prove how much Zhu Yicheng values ​​him? Such a huge plan is on his shoulders. Once he becomes successful, he will definitely make great contributions, and maybe even his title can go further.

Furthermore, as a soldier, Yue Zhongqi is very aware of the grievances between Mongolia and the Central Plains dynasty, and this time it is very likely that Mongolia will be completely subdued and the areas that are free from the political margins of the Central Plains dynasty will be directly ruled. This is a great opportunity to leave a name in history. Thinking of this Yue Zhongqi is even so excited that she trembles slightly.

"This time the Jinyiwei will cooperate fully. Of course, whether for Mongolia or the Qing Dynasty in the northwest, you should fight or fight when necessary, and you should give them a color to see. Do you understand this?"

"I understand that when I go to the north, I will do what the emperor wants. Please rest assured."

Zhu Yicheng nodded. He was not worried about Yue Zhongqi's military ability, but the matter in the north was not only military, but also politics and strategy. So this time he asked the Jinyiwei to draw capable personnel to assist Yue Zhongqi.

"In addition to the Jinyiwei, the General Staff will also provide assistance this time. I will explain to Zhuang Yan for specific personnel."

"The emperor is wise. With the cooperation of the Jinyiwei and the General Staff, I will be even more confident. I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Yue Zhongqi understood the meaning of Zhu Yicheng's arrangement after a moment of thought, and replied with conscience.
