Luring Zhu Yihai to take the initiative to attack was Wu Changqing's tactic to deliberately create reasons for rebellion.

As long as Zhu Yihai took the initiative to attack him, he was forcing him to rebel, not that he wanted to rebel.

Wu Changqing regained lost ground in the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty, but Zhu Yihai took the initiative to provoke infighting. Zhu Yihai's actions will lose people's hearts and chill the hearts of the Han people.

At that time, when Wu Changqing rebelled again, the people would understand him, support him, and would not regard him as a chaotic minister and thief.

When writing history books in the future, it can also be written as being forced to rebel in order to save the common people in the world.

Will Zhu Yihai take the opportunity to attack?

This Wu Changqing feels that there is a high probability of it, because this is Zhu Yihai's only chance to come back.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Zhu Yihai doesn't get in the way, and he won't have any substantial losses. It is nothing more than pushing back the time for the rebellion, and in the future there will be opportunities to find excuses.

Wu Changqing really hoped that Zhu Yihai would attack him, and he couldn't wait to formally proclaim himself emperor.

It's not that he wants to enjoy the power and life of the emperor, but it is inconvenient to do many things without being an emperor.

For example, he wants to reform the six departments, change the official system, canonize generals and so on. He has no power in these matters, he can only do it secretly, and he can't make it public, so he can easily be criticized by others.

At the same time, doing some good deeds for the people may also cause the people to remember the kindness to the Ming court.

In short, he now has enough military strength, the sooner he can stand on his own, the better.

"Da Ming has been ill for a long time, and there is no cure. If it is not broken, it will not stand. Only under the leadership of the general can this world be reborn from the ashes..."

Hong Chengchou followed suit, and his words were more straightforward, saying directly that the Zhu family was no longer fit to rule the world.

It was only then that Liu Hansan and other generals suddenly realized that Wu Changqing was about to officially rebel.

Many people are secretly happy, they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"That's it, it's the best choice for this world to be controlled by generals."

Compared with those literati who can say a lot of reasons for being famous, their generals are much simpler, and they directly say that this world should be made by Wu Changqing.

As for the reason, they didn't say it, if they really wanted them to say it, they could only say one, that is, Wu Changqing is the strongest right now.

"I will swear my allegiance to the general to the death."

Liu Hansan took the lead and knelt down, and several other generals followed suit.

"I urge the general to take over the land of Kyushu for the sake of the common people in the world."

Qian Qianyi's words are much more beautiful. What he means is that Wu Changqing is not rebelling, but is benefiting the people and the world.

The same thing, different words, sounds and feels different.

Wu Changqing did not refuse, no hypocrisy.

Because, in front of these people, there is no need, they are all core members, and these people have long been aware of his desire to rebel. It's too hypocritical to say things that you can't bear to say at this point, and you want to trap me in injustice.

If you want to be hypocritical, you have to fool those who are stupid or naive in front of the officials and the common people.

Anyone who has a bit of brains knows that rebellion is for power, and it is only incidental for the people.

It is a good person to be able to take it by the way, and some people even do not even take it for the sake of power, and continue to exploit the people after taking power.

"How to let Zhu Yihai take the initiative to attack us, how to reduce losses when being attacked, and the guidance of public opinion, these need to be done well."

Wu Changqing said.

These are all meticulous work. Wu Changqing is only responsible for the general direction. How to operate to achieve that effect will be handed over to Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng and others.

If they can't even do this thing well, they don't have the right to enjoy this kind of power under one person and over ten thousand people.

At the end of the meeting, they were in a good mood when they went back.

It is finally time to reach this point. As long as Wu Changqing succeeds in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, these people are the heroes of the founding of the country and have the merit of following the dragon.

Official positions, titles and so on are definitely indispensable.

Back home, they started working hard.

This action is an assessment and an opportunity for them. Whoever can perform better in this incident will be able to sit in a better position when the time comes.

The high-level officials have formulated a plan that will shock the world, but the people are still calm.

The only thing the people can feel is that there are fewer soldiers wandering in the city than before. I heard that the vacation is canceled and the preparations for the war are going to begin.

This commoner has become accustomed to this. After all, the world is not at peace at this time, and it is normal to have wars from time to time. Because of the strength of the Wu army, the people of Nanjing were less afraid of the war.

Because they believed that the Qing army could not fight. If you fight, you will fight, anyway, your side will win.

In addition to fewer soldiers in the street market, public opinion in the People's Daily also began to reveal the news of the imminent war.

Wu Jun's military seems to be completely unconcerned about the leakage of military planes, leaving the People's Daily to report on some of its military operations, as well as some reports on logistical preparations.

This made the work of spies from other forces a lot easier, and they quickly learned the news that Wu Jun was going to expedition to the north.

When the news reached Hangzhou, Zhu Yihai immediately summoned his confidants to discuss important matters.

"The army under Wu Changqing is really arrogant.

They don't care about the leakage of military secrets. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will lose, and I don't see them jumping around for long. "

Fang Guoan snorted coldly.

People are always affected by emotions. Fang Guoan and Wu Jun have hatred, and they will wear colored glasses when watching Wu Jun's various moves. In any move of Wu Jun, he can pick out the fault.

"It seems that they are preparing for a large-scale northward expedition, which is within our expectations. The only thing that is unclear is how many troops he will leave to station in Nanjing and other places."

Zhu Yihai said.

They had already made a plan to carry out a sneak attack while the rear of the Wu army's northern expedition was empty. It is best to be able to capture Nanjing, but if they cannot capture Nanjing, they must occupy Wusong and other places.

As long as they occupy Suzhou and Songjiang, they can acquire a lot of wealth and technology, and they have the capital to stalemate with Wu Changqing.

This was their plan, and at first glance there was nothing wrong with it, it was the best plan they could make. Other than that, there is no other way.

Wu Jun's Northern Expedition is their only chance. If they don't take this opportunity to resist, they will never have the chance to resist, and they can only die slowly.

Zhu Yihai didn't believe that Wu Changqing would let him go after destroying the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, even if Wu Changqing had no reason to rebel, their subordinates could get a yellow robe to cover them, leaving Wu Changqing no choice.

Zhao Kuangyin had already done this kind of thing hundreds of years ago.

After a period of hard work, Zhu Yihai expanded his army to 80,000.

He believes that he already has a certain strength to challenge Wu Changqing.

However, the vast majority of the 80,000 were cold-weapon troops, there were 10,000 arquebusier troops, and none of the flintlock guns. They don't have the strong research and development capabilities of the Qing court, and they have not yet figured out the secret of the flintlock gun.

They did come out with the grenade, but the power was much smaller than that of Wu Jun's grenade. It didn't have much effect in actual combat, and was only suitable for use when defending the city.

Eighty thousand troops, it seems a lot, but the combat power is worrying. If Wu Changqing left too many troops garrisoned, they would also reconsider the plan.

"At present, Wu Changqing has 150,000 main forces in Nanjing, and these people will probably be sent to the north. At that time, they will have a maximum of 10,000 defenders in Nanjing, and a maximum of 20,000 defenders in Suzhou and Songjiang. We occupy the with absolute military superiority."

Fang Guoan said.

The number he guessed was correct. Wu Changqing really planned to leave only 10,000 or 20,000 people stationed in the southern Zhili area.

However, he will quietly exchange the second-line troops stationed with the main force. Among the 20,000 people left behind, 10,000 will be the main force.

Wu Changqing believed that Zhu Yihai's troops could only stare blankly with this Wan Suifa troop stationed in the city.

"Everyone, get ready."

Zhu Yihai made up his mind, he was unwilling to lose his power and was ready to fight to the death.
