Three to one, Zhuang Yan was obviously at a disadvantage, which made Shi Yizhi feel secretly proud, but he still didn't relax at all. He looked at Jiang Jin who had not spoken, while Zeng Yishu, who was sitting at the bottom, just glanced at him. After all, Zeng Yishu ranked the lowest in the Military Affairs Office and had the least qualifications.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Shi Yizhi asked. As soon as he said this, everyone present turned their attention to Jiang Jin. Although Jiang Jin was not the chief military aircraft, he was the second place. Moreover, among all the people in the Military Service Office, he was the first to be a dragon and the oldest qualification. No one can compare with his prestige or power in the court.

Everyone knew that if Zhu Yicheng had not suppressed Jiang Jin back then, he would have been able to enter the military aircraft with Jiang Jin's qualifications. Shi Yizhi replaced Wu Sidao into the military aircraft but just got a bargain.

What's more, Shi Yizhi, the chief military aircraft, could not sit for too long, and Jiang Jin was the first person in the Military Service Department as soon as he retreated. In addition, Jiang Jin is not only holding the Ministry of Works, but also nearly half of the Ministry of Commerce. In addition, after Liao Huanzhi left the Military Service Department, many officials who had followed Liao Huan's group had changed to Jiang Jin's subordinates, which shows Jiang Jin's status in the court.

Shi Yizhi could directly confront Zhuang Yan, but he would never dare to break up with Jiang Jin. Seeing that Jiang Jin had been indifferent, Shi Yizhi couldn't help asking this, not only to hear Jiang Jin's opinions, but also to get Jiang Jin's support.

Who would have thought that Jiang Jin shook his head and said, "I am a civil official and have been in charge of the Ministry of Works before. If Lord Shi asks about local political affairs or military facilities, I can talk about it. As for military affairs, Jiang may not be able to give any advice."

As soon as Jiang Jin said this, the smile on Shi Yizhi's face suddenly froze. He didn't expect Jiang Jin to answer like this.

Although this statement sounds normal on the surface, Shi Yizhi cursed in his heart. Jiang Jin said on the surface that he did not understand military affairs and was inconvenient to intervene. In fact, this statement had another meaning, which was clearly a tactful reminder that Shi Yizhi still needed to listen to professional opinions on military affairs, and directly put his own responsibilities away from it in this way.

Helplessly, Shi Yizhi had to settle for the second time and asked Zeng Yishu. Although Zeng Yishu ranked low in the Military Affairs Office, you should know that among the people present, he was the oldest qualified person in the Military Affairs Office except Shi Yizhi.

A few years ago, Zeng Yishu worked in the Military Affairs Office, but at that time he was just an ordinary member of the Military Affairs Office, helping major military aircraft handle miscellaneous tasks. But after so many years, Zeng Yishu had already experienced it and knew everything in the Military Affairs Office very well.

In addition, Zeng Yishu is now taking over Wang Fan's rank, and he is in charge of financial work. He knows the current situation even more clearly. Even Jiang Jin doesn't speak directly, so how could Zeng Yishu come forward?

In addition, Zhu Yicheng is still there, and it is not a good thing to be remembered by the emperor if he says the wrong thing. Therefore, Zeng Yishu took similar measures as Jiang Jin, but his qualifications are far from enough compared to Jiang Jin. While he said that he did not understand the military and was inconvenient to express his opinion, Zeng Yishu also said that no matter what, as long as the court makes a decision, he will follow the order and will never drag him down.

The attitudes of Jiang Jin and Zeng Yishu made Shi Yizhi feel very uncomfortable, but there was no way. But no matter what, he still had the upper hand in the face of Zhuang Yan. In addition, this matter still needs to be treated with Zhu Yicheng's attitude, so Shi Yizhi turned to Zhu Yicheng to express his opinions and suggested that the court could agree to the surrender of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, so that he could take Liaodong without bloodshed.

Zhu Yicheng, who had never spoken, was calm on the surface, but he saw all this in his eyes and listened to it in his heart.

To be honest, Zhu Yicheng is now a little disappointed with Shi Yizhi. He originally thought that Shi Yizhi would do something after becoming the chief military aircraft, but now it seems that Shi Yizhi is not suitable for this position.

In Zhu Yicheng's heart, he was also surprised by the sudden surrender of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, and was also alert. Zhu Yicheng has always been cautious, with clear thoughts, and has a view of the overall situation and vision that ordinary people do not have. This is also an important reason why Zhu Yicheng was able to stand out in this era and restore the Ming Dynasty.

If this were not the case, how could Zhu Yicheng, who was in Yuan Qi's hands, be there today? And he was able to recognize these things, so he would get to the present step by step.

Zhu Yicheng deeply agrees with this truth. Even the great man said that there is no love for no reason and no hatred for no reason in this world.

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, which had a deep hatred with the Ming Dynasty, even the Mongols would not come to surrender directly without any war. Judging from the subconscious mind, Zhu Yicheng felt that there was a big problem in this matter.

In addition, as Zhuang Yan said, since the military plan has been decided, once it needs to be adjusted, it will affect the whole body. Liaodong is not as cold as other places. It is cold in winter and short in summer. According to the scheduled time for troops to be sent, the Ming army will take half a year to launch an offensive. After that, it must establish itself in Liaodong on the eve of the severe cold, and then stabilize the place.

If the troops are sent too late, it will affect the overall plan. Moreover, most of the troops have been transferred to the Shanhaiguan area, and North Korea is also ready, so it is impossible to stop at all. From these perspectives, Zhuang Yan's opposition is not at all problem.

Therefore, Zhu Yicheng was inclined to Zhuang Yan, and was skeptical about what Shi Yizhi said. What is more important is whether the surrender of the Qing Dynasty is true or false. This needs to be confirmed. Zhu Yicheng of the Qing Dynasty never trusts him. In his opinion, the other party's surrender is probably hidden in secret.

But even so, Zhu Yicheng could not express his attitude directly, because once he expressed his support for Zhuang Yan, it would intensify the conflicts within the Military Affairs Office.

In any case, Shi Yizhi, the Chief Military Affairs Minister, was appointed by Zhu Yicheng. Once Shi Yizhi is directly denied and thus supported Zhuang Yan, it will bring a huge blow to Shi Yizhi's prestige in the Military Affairs Office. Once the Chief Military Affairs Minister loses his prestige in the Military Affairs Office, the Military Affairs Office will definitely be divided in the next step. The Military Affairs Ministers either start to fight secretly with their own thoughts or form cliques to occupy an advantageous position in the Military Affairs Office. Zhu Yicheng would never want to see this result.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng felt a little regretful. If he had known this, it would be better to put Jiang Jin as the chief military aircraft directly. Although Jiang Jin had all kinds and those problems before, Jiang Jin had changed a lot after being beaten over the years. In addition, although Jiang Jin is jealous, he has an advantage that Shi Yi is not as straightforward as Shi Yi, that is, Jiang Jin is self-aware and has a steady and considers the overall situation. If he was the chief military aircraft minister now, he would not have caused such a tit-for-tat to several military aircraft ministers today.

But now it's a bit too late to talk about this, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter what, Shi Yizhi's prestige still needs to be maintained, and this must not be shaken.

"Shi Qing said something." Zhu Yicheng finally spoke with a smile on his face: "If the Qing Dynasty outside the Pass is willing to surrender, this is not a bad thing for the court."

Hearing this, Shi Yizhi's face instantly showed a smug smile, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards Zhuang Yan. When he saw Zhuang Yan being a little dazed, he felt even more happy.

"Why should the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong be surrendered by the Shiqing, please send people to contact us as soon as possible to determine the details?"

"I obey the order." Shi Yizhi hurriedly said.

Then, Zhu Yicheng said again: "Don't relax on Zhuang Qing's side, after all, the Qing Dynasty has always been cunning, and the military arrangements for attacking Liaodong have been decided. Before the matter is settled, the army is inconvenient to withdraw. The General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Army will adjust the plan to cooperate with the Shi Qing's side. Once the Qing Dynasty surrender is fake, the court can also have a backup plan."

"The emperor is wise!" Zhuang Yan opened his mouth to tell what he wanted to tell, but when facing Zhu Yicheng's stern gaze finally changed to these four words.

At the same time, several other military ministers also hurriedly said that Zhu Yicheng was wise and decided on this matter. Zhu Yicheng asked everyone to go back and prepare, and reported it to him at any time if there is any change.

When he left, Shi Yizhi was full of spring breeze and laughed at the wind with Sun Jiagan, discussing how to negotiate surrender with the Liaodong Manchu Qing Dynasty. He Xianzu fell half of his body and said a few words from time to time, but his eyes kept turning, as if he was thinking about something.

As for Jiang Jin and Zeng Yishu walking behind the three of them, they looked normal, but they just made a little contact with their eyes, but didn't say anything, and walked out directly.

Zhuang Yan, who was walking at the end, looked bad. He was discussing matters in front of the emperor. His suggestions were directly rejected, which was a blow to Zhuang Yan. In addition, he was not optimistic about this matter at all. The current decision of the court made Zhuang Yan very worried.

But now Zhu Yicheng has spoken, and Zhuang Yan has no way to change it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and shook his head helplessly. If Dong Dashan and Wang Dong were still in the Military Affairs Office, or if Ma Gongcheng was in Beijing, this would definitely not be the result today.

"Master Zhuang..." Just as Zhuang Yan walked out dozens of meters in great trouble and followed the road towards the outsider, a voice rang in his ears.

"Eunuch Jiang, you..." Stopped, looked up and saw that it was Xiao Jiangzi, the eunuch next to Zhu Yicheng. Zhuang Yan was stunned at first and then happy. Could it be that Zhu Yicheng wanted to go back and discuss? If this is the case, it would be great, at least he could persuade him privately.

Unexpectedly, when Zhuang Yan asked if the emperor had any tricks, Xiao Jiangzi shook his head, and Zhuang Yan's heart sank again.

However, Xiao Jiangzi lowered his voice and said to Zhuang Yan: "Mr. Zhuang, you are not only the Minister of Military Affairs, but also the Chief of Staff. You know the military system of the court better than anyone else. As long as the emperor does not formally issue a change plan, everything should be as normal."

After saying that, Xiao Jiangzi walked directly past Zhuang Yan, as if the two were just meeting each other. It seemed that they had just greeted each other when they met.

But when Xiao Jiangzi's short sentence came into Zhuang Yan's ears, Zhuang Yan was stunned at first, then he was immediately delighted. He suppressed himself and wanted to turn around and ask if Xiao Jiangzi's words were Zhu Yicheng's meaning, but he restrained himself from asking about these things.

Xiao Jiangzi is right. The military plan has been determined. Unless Zhu Yicheng formally issued an order, no one can change it. Although the Military Affairs Office is the center of the Ming Dynasty, the Military Affairs Office was founded by Zhu Yicheng. All the Military Affairs Ministers have only the position of counselor for military and political affairs, but have no right to be sure.

The real power is all in the hands of the emperor, and the decisions of the Military Affairs Office have no legal effect before the emperor formally issued the order. In addition, the special nature of the General Staff is not under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Office, so Zhuang Yan can completely bypass the Military Affairs Office and continue to support the already-definitely established strategic plan of Liaodong with the effective orders of the imperial court. This is something that no one can deny.
