Zhang Han pondered again: "From the current intelligence summary, Jianlu is still entangled with Dongjiang in the Kuandian area. It seems that Mao Wenlong repeatedly copied Jianlu's retreat and truly offended Nuerhaci."

Sun Jingting smiled and said, "That's right. It's already summer. I'm almost seventy years old and are still fighting with tired soldiers. I read the newspaper from the Military Information Department. I ran thousands of miles in a month, and the middle-aged man may not be able to bear it."

"Brother Xiaozheng said this very interesting." Zhang Han laughed and said, "I can't live much time."

Sun Jingting pondered and said, "You can't be too sure. After all, this person has been in a military life, and his body is said to be quite strong and able to ride on horseback, which means he is still very strong."

"Just breathe a sigh of strength." Zhang Han said confidently: "It is precisely because he has spent a lot of money. At this age, if he is at peace, he can delay it for a few more years. But he is like adding oil to the fire, and it will burn even more vigorously. How can this last? The secret reports from Liaodong are all about Lao Han's body in private. I heard that he has been sick many times and has a serious back disease. To judge all kinds of signs, I don't think we have to be too conservative."

Zhang Han remembered that Nuerhaci died in August of the sixth year of the Tianqi period. It is now mid-June, the hottest time of the year. According to the report of the Military Information Department, in addition to fighting with Dongjiang, Nuerhaci was also constantly receiving foreign ministers, including his subordinates, Mongolian fugitives and Koreans. He kept patrolling the place and changed his residence almost the next day.

Under such conditions, even if you sweat a lot, you will not have a good living or diet, let alone an elderly old man with illness?

My life is not long, and this is Zhang Han's judgment.

Sun Jingting smiled and said, "Is this your intuition again?"

Zhang Han’s “intuition” can be said to be famous. Zhang Han made the most correct choice for many times he faced difficult decisions. Most people dare not ask, but Sun Jingting and Li Shenming would not be polite. Of course, they would ask Zhang Han’s reason for his decision.

If Zhang Han doesn't say much, he will push it to his intuition. After a while, Zhang Han's intuition became a joke among the top leaders, and later even ordinary people knew about it.

Maybe the propaganda department thinks that it can strengthen Zhang Han's mystery in the hearts of ordinary people and the mysterious color of destiny, so not only did not eliminate the rumors in this regard, but instead strengthened it.

"This matter is not instinct." Zhang Han laughed and said, "It's just a judgment. If Brother Xiaozheng thinks that my judgment is not accurate, we can take a gamble. I have been betting on your Dong Xiangguang fan for a long time."

"It's not a very expensive thing." Sun Jingting said indifferently: "I don't gamble, if you want it, just give it to you."

"That's boring. I just look at it fresh. I can't appreciate the real good stuff."

When Sun Jingting heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Last time, Sun Jingting, Li Shenming and Zhang Han had dinner. After a while, Li Shenming took out a few pairs of famous artists to collect and enjoy them together.

This was also the routine of the family banquet of literati and doctors at that time. At that time, Li Shenming took out the famous paintings of famous artists at that time. After Zhang Han read them, he said seriously that the painting was not like that. Then he performed his painting skills on the spot. As a result, he was evaluated as craftsmanship by several people. Although the painting was very real, there was no interest in the artistic conception. Zhang Han had a big fight with these guys, but he would never appreciate calligraphy and painting again.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Han heard the laughter, and he first put on a stern face, and then started laughing.

There is nothing great without artistic talent. Sun Jingting knows, and Zhang Han also understands that only those who are not confident will be angered by their friends' ridicule.

"I've been talking nonsense for a long time." Sun Jingting asked again, "What are you planning?"

"Tell you a story."

Zhang Hanqing cleared his throat and laughed before he could speak, and then he told a story called Sun Jingting stunned.

Generally speaking, the man was called Yuan Shikai, and of course the Qing Dynasty was not called Daqing. Zhang Hanhu made up a name.

Yuan Shikai still controls the five towns of six towns, and has offended the emperor. He also guessed that the royal family had to kill Yuan as soon as the regent came to power.

Later, he could not be killed easily, but was driven back to his hometown and was under strict surveillance. If Yuan had a grudge or a rebellion, he would have been unable to save his life at that time.

The killer move Yuan Shikai used was fishing, and it was a big fishing game.

Yuan Shikai's children Yuan Jingxue has always lived with her father and wrote memoirs in her later years, but she never mentioned that her father had a hobby of fishing.

Yuan Shikai was a person who was active but not quiet. Since his youth, he was not interested in studying. He worked boxing, played chess, gambling, feasting, and traveled all day long. He was arriving at the age of twelve or thirteen. He failed both provincial examinations. He burned his poems and essays in anger and threw his pen to serve Ronglu. So, was it that Yuan Shikai was "opened" to return to Zhangdehuan, really picked up the fishing rod, and devoted himself to the end of his life?

In fact, it is not true. Yuan Shikai was an ambitious person. He was not willing to be demoted and had been planning a comeback. But he was afraid of arousing Zaifeng's vigilance, so he used all kinds of disguise to confuse his opponents. He was not a fishing enthusiast, but pretended to be idle clouds and wild cranes, saw through the world, and was detached from the world and never asked about politics. He took Yuan Shilian, the third brother who had just resigned from his post, to the Huanshang villa, teacup, fishing on the boat, and asked someone to take a few very famous photos. These photos were sent by Yuan Shikai to the "Oriental" and "Beiyang Pictorial" that were published at that time, so they survived. In the photo, Yuan Shikai was sitting on a boat, wearing a straw raincoat, wearing a straw straw hat, and a fish basket next to it; the other one was his brother Yuan Shilian dressed up, holding a long pole, and sitting on the boat head, and Yuan Shikai was sitting on the boat head with a fishing rod. This is a beautiful and elegant picture of Huanshang fishing!

He used fishing to cover up and finally achieved success in the Huanhuan. Yuan Shikai could be said to have taken a different approach.

But the subsequent development was still Yuan Shikai's success. People recognized his ability and sympathized with his experience. Zaifeng could no longer attack him. When the Democratic Party occupied Nanjing, Yuan Shikai's people were expected to reach their peak and had become a person who was expected to be the most popular. At that time, they could negotiate terms with the court calmly. For Zaifeng, everything was easy to say, as long as Yuan Shikai could come out to put out the fire.

After Zhang Han finished speaking, Sun Jingting was shocked at first, then laughed silently, shook his head and said, "Do you want to resign from this Yuan surname, and step down from the field to fish? The momentum is different. You are the Lord of War, and the official positions of the court are just decorations. This is what everyone knows. This example is indeed interesting, and with Jiang Taigong and others as examples, it is indeed possible to express your attitude to the court. However, I can't think of what to do."

"That is, just create an atmosphere of humility and retardation." Zhang Han shook his head. Sun Jingting was indeed too honest in this kind of thing.

"You mean, you don't have to do much, but you show it in a posture of fishing to avoid disasters. That's enough?"

"Yes." Zhang Han smiled and said, "The shapes are different but the same. Now the emperor makes me feel a little uncomfortable with these methods, so why should I force myself? It is enough to make a gesture, create a sound of wind, and create a humble and concessional image, which can resolve this situation."

Sun Jingting said in confusion: "Just because of the theory, there is no proof, I'm afraid it won't work?"

"That's not possible." Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "I plan to take my wife and children back to Xinpingbao for a while, and carry the fishing rod to Baiyanghe for fishing every day."

"This is absolutely not possible!" Sun Jingting jumped up and said, "It's great if you want to be foolish, but you don't have to take such a risk, right?"

"Adventure?" Zhang Han smiled and said, "If you change the governor and the general town, you can take the Datong Xuanfu back with a few deputy generals? From the soldiers of the town to the 100th general, the general, to the garrison, the governor, the governor, and the officials and the people everywhere, how many memories do you remember me? In Xinpingbao, I only need to place hundreds of guards, what can those thousand garrisons do?"

"It's still a bit risky."

"If you don't do this, who can believe that I am willing to do it?" Zhang Han smiled slightly, but his smile was a little cold.

He pondered for a while and said, "This is what my Ming people are. On one hand, there is an emperor who is not a big mistake. He has righteousness in his hands and has released kindness to me. If I ignore it, people will think that I am a hero and chaotic minister. And if I honestly go back to Xinpingbao, fish with the local gentry, and sing with the local gentry, and act like he is ignoring the world and retreating, people will think that I am not bad. Although I have the ability, I am not aggressive and have a bottom line in doing things. If the emperor makes another move, it will become the emperor's wrong. This kind of psychology is actually very meaningless, because the heart is

People who think quickly are actually fence-bearing. What I care about is the idea of ​​those who are truly capable. To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty is now in decline, and I don’t want to put it into practice a psychological pressure that is essentially threatening to the Ming Dynasty’s monarchs and ministers. This will make the court use a large amount of money and materials to prevent us. Before Jianlu was destroyed, they did not fight with me in Korqin. With our current strength, we will expedition thousands of miles to fight Jianlu. I am not sure. In the past two years, it may be a relatively calm period. I can settle down, which is also a good thing."

After Zhang Han said this, Sun Jingting realized that the person in front of him had indeed made up his mind and had comprehensive considerations.

But Sun Jingting didn't quite understand what Zhang Han's judgment was. He felt that if the emperor never made any moves and the Ming Dynasty kept it relatively calm and stable, it would be difficult for Zhang Han to return from that retreating state.

In this case, it would be better to be stiff first and then negotiate with the Ming Dynasty about establishing a country and becoming a king. You cannot go south and fight the Ming Dynasty to a decisive battle. Being a king in the north seems to be a good choice.

Although this would not satisfy many people, including Li Shenming, the entire grassland, plus the Nuergandusi, may have taken the territory of Liaodong in their hands after defeating Jianlu, with a population of hundreds of millions and Taiwan's maritime forces. The northern territory is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, but the population is insufficient. Such a king of the northern country is completely considered an emperor. Whether he is called an emperor depends on Zhang Han's own meaning.
