Such a big event could not be agreed upon at once. After Yao Zhizhuo and others returned to the inn, Sun Kewang began to discuss with several confidants.

This matter is a strategy. Fan Mong, the Minister of Personnel, Ma Zhaoxi, the Minister of Revenue, Wanniance, and Renshu, the Minister of Rites, all attended the meeting. However, this matter had little to do with the Ministry of Personnel, so Fan Mong did not rush to speak. Instead, Ma Zhaoxi spoke before Wanniance.

"The king of the country, I think that Qian Muzhai's three chessels have great advantages. If it can really cross the Yangtze River and lead to the broken north, it will be difficult for the Tartars to support the army. That sentence is not a false statement. If the wealth from the southeast is used to support the army in the southwest, a million people can easily obtain it, which is indeed much easier than just relying on the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces."

Ma Zhaoxi got the first prize, and Fan Mine then mentioned some topics about the wealth of talents in the southeast, and then it was Wannian Plan.

"The king of the country, my husband, the key to the third game of the cherry blossoms is whether the army can occupy Huguang and seize Huguang. It is not difficult to go downstream. Nowadays, the Tartars in Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Nanzhili have all set their sights on Chen Wen, the Marquis of Anyuan, and the precautions on the Yangtze River must be low. Moreover, even if the Tartars gather heavily in the Yangtze River, they will never be able to block the attack of the army in their opinion."

The Southwest Ming Army's strong combat effectiveness is a recognized fact. Although Sun Kewang was defeated by the Eight Banners Army, he did not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the army. Wannian Ce said that it pointed directly at the military, and Sun Kewang also agreed after weighing the pros and cons of this.

Seeing Sun Kewang nodding, Ren Zhu spoke out about the political significance of seizing Nanjing. They were all Sun Kewang's confidants and knew very well about Sun Kewang's psychology of usurping the throne. However, it is precisely because they were Sun Kewang's confidants that their desire for Sun Kewang to unify the world was naturally greater. The simplest truth is that aide to a rebel king who was separating the throne was also an important minister of a founding lord who ruled the world. It is obvious which is more important.

Compared with the Qin Palace in Guiyang, and even any city south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing is farther away in political sense. It is not just the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Nanjing was the place where the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang became a dragon. Since ancient times, only Zhu Yuanzhang has truly succeeded in fighting the north. As long as he took Nanjing, Sun Kewang would be equivalent to winning most of the world, which made them do their best to persuade Sun Kewang to agree to the "Three Games of the Rolling Plate".

The four people took turns to persuade him, and Sun Kewang actually agreed quite well. The only difference was the last straw that could make up his mind.

Seeing this, Ma Zhaoxi bowed and said, "There are not too many rebels in Nanzhili, and their combat effectiveness may not be comparable to the Green Camp. I think that what I am concerned about now is nothing more than Zhu Cheng, Duke of Zhang, Fujian, and Chen Wen, the Marquis of Anyuan, Zhejiang. The king restored Nanjing, and the emperor's orders were in hand. If the alliance was like Guizhou and Sichuan, he could take over his army for his own use. If the two of them did not obey the orders, the army would go south, Zhu and Chen would just be a mantis chariot."

"What Ma Shangshu said is very much, and the weak ministers also think that as long as the king can restore Nanjing, the emperor ordered the emperor to give orders, Zhu and Chen could only bow down and submit to the ministers. However, before this, they still need high officials and generous salaries and rewards to calm their hearts. After all, the Tartars are still there, so it is better not to use weapons without weapons."

"Weichen and others agree."

Sun Kewang has never been afraid of internal struggles. He has gained his current power and status through repeated internal struggles. Ma Zhaoxi and Ren Zhu's words entered Sun Kewang's heart, especially Ren Zhu. In fact, they did not identify Li Dingguo. In contrast, this famous general, who was one of the four princes of the Great Western Army, was far more threatened to Sun Kewang than Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong.

There is a priority for the matter. Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong cannot be brought together, nor can Li Dingguo and these two guys join forces. The current "Three Games of the Celestials" just happens to prevent them from working together with Li Dingguo. It is beneficial to Sun Kewang.

To win over Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong and let them follow the "Three Games of the Celestials" can naturally isolate Li Dingguo, but the best way is to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot and eliminate the threat once and for all, so that the Western Army can be closely united under his command. Naturally, there is no need to worry about Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong. This is something that Sun Kewang has been thinking about for several months, and the worst is actually just an opportunity.

"This matter is settled, and Yao Zhizhuo will come tomorrow."

……………………

The next day, Sun Kewang recruited Yao Zhizhuo and agreed to launch a large-scale military plan to attack Huguang next year to open up the Yangtze River, which was considered to be the matter.

However, when he came, Yao Zhizhuo and others were also preparing to meet the Emperor Yongli. Sun Kewang had no reason to stop this matter, especially now that he had to count on the Ming army in the Southeast and the anti-Qing people in the Southeast could help him gain a foothold in Southern Zhili, it was even more impossible to stop Yao Zhizhuo's interview.

Fortunately, Anlong was full of his men and spies from outside. Fan Yingxu was the prefect of Anlong Prefecture and Zhang Yingke was the Prime Minister Titang Office. These two people were his confidants. In addition, such as Ma Jixiang, the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, Pang Tianshou, also heard and heard. Yao Zhizhuo asked to see the Emperor Yongli, and the emperor held a banquet, but he did not dare to say anything under the surveillance inside and outside. In fact, even if he said it, it would not be possible. The far water could not relieve the near thirst. Could the Donglin Party whispers in the southeast still spray Sun Kewang to death thousands of miles away?

After leaving Anlong, Yao Zhizhuo and his party set off with Yongli's imperial edict, Sun Kewang's opera and manifesto, five reply letters from Grand Secretary Lei Yuelong, and Sun Kewang's imperial edict appointed Cong Wang Sheng as Minister of War to return to Jiangnan together.

However, Yao Zhizhuo and others left, and the performance of Emperor Yongli and the court officials also made Fan Yingxu and others relaxed their vigilance. At the home of Wu Zhenyu, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wu Zhenyu was explaining some of the last things to the officials of Confucius in the Hanlin Academy.

Since Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou have completely relied on Sun Kewang since June last year, and also the trusted writer of Sun Kewang, Fang Yuxuan and others have begun to build momentum for the "Yongli Emperor abdicating Sun Kewang". At the end of last year, Lin Qingyang, a member of the Ministry of War Military Selection Division, who had asked Zhang Gongyan to observe the actual situation of Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Wen, set off to meet Li Dingguo, hoping to use Li Dingguo's hands to get the Yongli court out of Sun Kewang's control.

After half a year, Lin Qingyang was gone forever. Emperor Yongli and the court officials headed by Wu Zhenyu, the chief minister of the cabinet, could no longer sit still. They had to send Ma Jixiang off on the grounds that "Nanning was recently recovered and important officials needed to take charge." At this time, taking advantage of Sun Kewang's confidants to relax their vigilance, they decided to let Zhou go to Li Dingguo's army secretly.
