Zhu Yicheng sat in the middle of the collapse, holding a memorial in his hand, but his eyes were still on Zhang Ran who was beside him, frowned slightly, and listened to his report intently.

Zhang Ran has been back to the capital for some days. He has arranged everything about Peng Rong before and reported it to Zhu Yicheng in detail. As the changes in Guizhou are moving towards the direction they originally planned, Zhu Yicheng praised him very much.

Today, Zhang Ran entered the palace for another thing, that is, the Jinyiwei Institute obtained the news from Xi'an at that time. Although the news revealed a trace of information, the information was not detailed, so Zhang Ran kept staring at this matter. Just last night, after the latest information from the Jinyiwei came, Zhang Ran did not dare to delay at all. He came to the palace gate in the early morning and waited outside the palace until the gate was opened before he urgently asked for a meeting.

Originally, Zhu Yicheng didn't care much, and just thought that Zhang Ran asked for a meeting for Guizhou. But who would have thought that after summoning Zhang Ran into the palace, Zhu Yicheng's attention shifted from the memorial in his hand to Zhang Ran, and his expression became solemn.

"Is this news true?" After hearing Zhang Ran say that, Zhu Yicheng put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

"This is an urgent report from Guanzhong. Please take a look." Zhang Ran took two steps forward and handed over a thin piece of paper in his hand. Zhu Yicheng looked carefully and found that the content inside was exactly what Zhang Ran said just now.

"Whether I asked is true, this matter is of great importance. You should understand the reason." Zhu Yicheng asked again.

Zhang Ran's throat moved and leaned over and said, "Return to the emperor, although I am not sure, I inquire from all over the world. The current abnormality within the Qing court is obvious. In addition, the Qing court had recruited Geng'e, who was in Shanxi a few days ago, and soon issued another order to Ortai. Although my subordinates could not see the content of the order, it can be seen from the current abnormal movements in Shanxi that the Qing court must have undergone major changes. These one by one, even if the matters I am concerned about cannot be guaranteed for the time being, they will still be inseparable from the tenth."

Listening to Zhang Ran's words, Zhu Yicheng stood up from the collapse and stood up? Then he slowly stepped in the hall. At the same time, he was thinking about the reliability of these information.

Zhang Ran’s analysis is not unreasonable. In fact, Zhu Yicheng already believed Zhang Ran’s judgment in his heart? The reason why Zhang Ran asked this is just to confirm it.

What's more? The abnormal movements in Shanxi mentioned just now, except for the Jinyiwei side? The military, that is, Ma Gongcheng, also sent news to the capital. Although the military's intelligence is not as detailed as those of Jinyiwei, it also proves this.

"This old eighth? Is it really a mess that cannot be supported on the wall?" Zhu Yicheng was a little angry and also a little irritated.

Originally everything was under his plan. Whether it was the battle situation in the three southwestern provinces or the northwest, according to Zhu Yicheng's plan, he worked together with two-pronged approaches. One hand solved the problem in the southwest? The other hand used the strategy of attacking Shanxi to force the Qing court to advance westward, and then launched a follow-up plan.

But now everything suddenly changed. The three southwestern provinces are fine. After all, since Sichuan took it, the three southwestern provinces have actually been separated from the Qing court? The influence of the Qing court center on the southwestern has dropped to an extremely low level. In addition, the Qing army has reached an irreversible level in the war in the southwestern region, just like a crumbling building? Just push it gently and you can wait for it to collapse.

But compared to the southwest, the northwest is much more difficult? After all, the northwest is the last guarantee of the Qing court, and the Qing army in the northwest is the most capable of fighting troops and generals? For example, Longkodo in Guanzhong and Ortai in Shanxi? These two people fought with the Ming army several times? Knowing the Ming army's tactics and power, they are not greedy for achievements in defense, and they adopt a steady and steady approach. Moreover, there are many firearm troops in their hands, which are hard to crack.

However, no matter how difficult it is to chew, it can still be chewed with the mouth of the Ming army, but it only takes some effort. According to the original plan, the Ming army restrained the Qing army in Guanzhong, and then used the horse-successful troops as the main force to solve Shanxi. When Shanxi took the tactic of closing the door and fighting dogs, Guanzhong would naturally take it down.

But now the Qing army suddenly adjusted its strategy. Now the Qing army in Shanxi has not suffered much loss and has shown signs of evacuation when it has strong strength. This has suddenly caused problems with the original plan of the Ming army.

According to the plan, the Ming army's strategy in Shanxi was to ensure the purpose of annihilation or at least severely damage the Qing army in Shanxi, so as to ensure the subsequent oppression of Guanzhong and advance westward. However, the Qing army has not been severely damaged. Since the war started, although the Ming army has gained the upper hand, the Qing army's tenacious fighting spirit still preserves most of its strength.

If the Qing army suddenly abandoned Shanxi and evacuated at this time, although the Ming army achieved the goal of occupying Shanxi, the goal of truly annihilated and dealing with strength was not achieved.

The current situation is like two boxers. Originally, one side was preparing to consume the opponent's physical strength and give a decisive blow, but who would have thought that the opponent in the ring did not spend a lot of effort to fight with the opponent, but instead adopted the tactic of roaming and preserving strength. This made the other side hold a breath but couldn't get out, and couldn't decide the winner in a short time as planned. It was really chest tightness.

The reason for all this is not other things, but is related to the unexpected changes in the Qing Dynasty's center. According to Zhang Ran's intelligence analysis and judgment, Emperor Jianxing, the Eight Virtue King of the Origin, seemed to have lost the power to control the Qing Dynasty, and the highest power of the Qing Dynasty had fallen into the hands of others, and this person was Jianxing's brother, the fourth prince who was known as the cold-faced king at the time.

The three words "Prince Yong..." were gently spit out from Zhu Yicheng's mouth, which was very familiar to Prince Yong Zhu Yicheng. In history, the Nine Dragons of the Kangxi Dynasty were famous for fighting for the throne. The princes fought for the throne, and the one who finally took the throne was the one who took the lead, and the later Yongzheng.

Originally, with the changes of history, Jianxing became the emperor who inherited the throne of Kangxi. Zhu Yicheng felt that Prince Yong had no chance to become an emperor anymore. But he never expected that Prince Yong, who had been silent, seemed to have disappeared from the eyes of the world, suddenly replaced Jianxing and became the actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty.

This bizarre incident was simply stunned. Zhu Yicheng, who didn't know how Prince Yong did this, didn't understand why Jianxing was so careless and how he could have made the situation in this situation.

Compared to Jianxing, Zhu Yicheng attaches more importance to Prince Yong. After all, although Prince Yong has a polarized reputation in history, one thing is recognized, that is, he is extremely courageous and capable, and his methods are extremely tough. In addition, he has his own way of employing people, so he is a very difficult opponent in general.

At present, it can be seen from the changes of the Qing court that Prince Yong has understood the purpose of the Ming army, so he has made such a change first.

Although the fight has not yet been formally fought, I don’t know whether Jianxing is dead or alive or whether Prince Yong has really replaced it. But everything the other party showed has told Zhu Yicheng that this is an extremely difficult person to deal with. Once he is asked to make adjustments, whether the Qing Dynasty goes north or westward to the Western Regions, it will be a problem after all without its strength being damaged.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng turned around and said to Zhang Ran: "The Jinyiwei quickly found the inside story of the Qing court center, and at the same time I was watching the movements in Shanxi, but if there is any news, come and report it immediately!"

"I obey the order!" Zhang Ran responded quickly, and then he seemed to be saying something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it.

However, his abnormality fell into Zhu Yicheng's eyes. Zhu Yicheng immediately snorted coldly: "What else is there? Let's say it directly!"

Zhang Ran hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal. I just came to report something with Shanxi. I don't know if I will tell the emperor."

"explain!"
