After Shang Yongzhong left, Li Dingguo immediately hugged his fist at Zhu Youlang and said, "Your Majesty, is this condition a little too much?" Will Shang Kexi agree? ”

Zhu Youlang said with a smile: "In your opinion, this condition is excessive?" I might as well tell you that with the Shang family's identity in Guangdong, it is not a problem to get 10 million taels of silver a year. ”

This is by no means Zhu Youlang's words, but a well-founded judgment.

The simplest thing is that the Zheng family relied on collecting sea taxes in Fujian to earn tens of millions of taels a year and raised an invincible sailor.

The situation in Guangdong will not be worse than that in Fujian, and Shang Kexi is definitely not bad for money.

As for the musket artillery, it is even more ready-made. The trench is in Guangdong, where there are the largest number of Frankians in the Ming Dynasty.

These Frankies are the most advanced in this era to master firearms technology, if Zhu Youlang does not make a false accusation, isn't he sorry for his identity as a traverser?

Moreover, these Frankians only recognize money, as long as Zhu Youlang can pay them a satisfactory salary, they will definitely compete to work for Zhu Youlang.

Li Dingguo was stunned in surprise.

If it is really like what His Majesty the Emperor said, then the Shang family is not rich enough to rival the country.

No wonder Shang Kexi dared to withdraw directly in the crucial battle in Nanchang, Jiangxi, because he had the confidence.

After Shunzhi learned the news, even if the gas exploded, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

There is no way, if Shang Kexi is annoyed, and Shang Kexi angrily declares his opposition to the Qing Dynasty, then Shunzhi can find a pillar and kill him.

Now at least the Shang and Geng families are loyal to the Manchus.

The face is the face, but it does not prevent Shang Kexi from secretly sending money to Zhu Youlang.

No way, who called Shang Kexi to like his precious son so much.

If you want to prevent the Ming army from tearing up the ticket, you can only accept it.

"But then again, sooner or later, Guangdong will have to fight. Since I can earn 10 million taels, why should I give Shang Kexi points. It's all my money! ”

Zhu Youlang said domineeringly: "It's just that it's not the right time yet." Once the south is basically calmed, it will be time for me to make a move against Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao. ”

Zhu Youlang's judgment was based on the strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Manchu Qing were in the north, and the Ming was in the south.

Originally, it was difficult to fight from the south to the north.

In its current form, if the Ming army was stabbed in the back by Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi during the Northern Expedition, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Youlang will definitely pacify the two, and Wu Sangui is not worried.

After all, Yunnan is too far away.

Zhu Youlang can clean up Wu Sangui after the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Dingguo slapped a sycophant without a trace, and then suggested: "Now King Zhong has rushed to Nanjing to prepare for the car. Your Majesty sees if you should leave a part of the army stationed in Ganjiang, Jiangxi, ready to receive the guns sent by Shang Kexi, and Your Majesty, you will go to Nanjing first. ”

Zhu Youlang also had this intention, so he nodded and said, "But, King Jin will arrange specific things." ”

After a pause, Zhu Youlang continued: "But I want the prince to come to Nanjing too, what does the King of Jin think?" ”

In fact, Zhu Youlang has been weighing this issue.

The prince's stay in Chengdu can stabilize the hearts of the southwest army.

After all, the Ming army fought all the way from the southwest to Jiangxi.

Although the territory is larger now, the basic market of the year still cannot be abandoned.

If the prince leaves Chengdu, there will definitely be changes in the heart of the Sichuan Ming army.

But since Zhu Youlang has decided to move the capital, it is a matter of time before it is a matter of time.

The prince must have grown a lot after this period of experience.

Zhu Youlang also wanted to take him to his side and train him well.

After all, the crown prince is the future of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Youlang is now prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, he can't help but think about the future.

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing is not good for ministers to comment."

Li Dingguo was extremely embarrassed.

His Majesty asked who it was not good to ask him.

After all, Li Dingguo's foundation is in the southwest.

Whether it was Zhang Xianzhong who led the Great Western Army into Sichuan or Liu Wenxiu who later went to Jianchang to operate and was awarded the title of King of Shu to Chengdu, Sichuan left a strong imprint of the Great Western Army.

Under such circumstances, the local people, including the army, must have great trust in Li Dingguo.

If the main force of the Ming army and the imperial court were moved to Nanjing, some people would inevitably have some opinions.

It's inevitable.

But Li Dingguo can't ask the Son of Heaven not to move the capital because of what may happen. That's not what a courtier should do.

Zhu Youlang also seemed to understand Li Dingguo's difficulties, and smiled awkwardly and politely.

"That's it, I see."

He cleared his throat and said, "I have made up my mind, and I will immediately order the crown prince and the cabinet to prepare for the relocation of the capital." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Dingguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, as long as Your Majesty makes a holy decree, he will definitely obey it without hesitation.

This is like Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo back then. Although he was reluctant to move the capital from Kunming to Chengdu, he still complied with the order.

Today's Da Ming is born after his death, and the situation is very good. What they have to do as courtiers is to closely surround the Son of Heaven and do their best to assist the Son of Heaven and do their part for Zhongxing Daming.

Nanjing Garrison Mansion.

Zheng Jing was reading a recital.

Knowing that the main force of the Zheng family was going to attack Jiangxi, Shi Lang, who had been holding back, finally couldn't sit still.

He sent troops from southern Zhejiang, first captured Shaoxing and Ningbo, and then pointed his sword at Hangzhou.

Shaoxing and Ningbo have actually been oscillating between the Ming and Qing armies.

Today, the Ming army took it, and the Qing army killed it again the day after tomorrow.

The head of the city changed the banner of the king, and even the local people did not know who would get up early tomorrow morning.

But Hangzhou is different, as the most important city in Zhejiang, the Zheng family has attached great importance to it from the beginning.

In addition to Nanjing and Zhenjiang, the place where the Ming army was most garrisoned was Hangzhou.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong took too many troops with him this time. Today, there are only 5,000 people in Hangzhou.

Five thousand is too little.

Zheng Jing frowned, very apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, he returned from Denglai ahead of schedule, otherwise there would not even be a principal in Nanjing now.

After all, Mr. Zhang Huangyan and Mr. Zhang also followed his father to Jiangxi.

If only General Gan Hui were by his side now.

I don't know when Zheng Chenggong began to rely on Gan Hui very much.

Probably because Gan Hui can always think of something for Zheng Jing that he can't think of, right?

Zheng Jing is not a thoughtful person, but Gan Hui can make up for it very well.

When the two complement each other, they can do things very well.

But now that Gan Hui is staying in Denglai, Zheng Jing can only decide on matters by himself.

Now that there are 20,000 people left behind in Nanjing and Zhenjiang, should you mobilize these troops to reinforce Hangzhou?

If these troops were mobilized, what if the Qing troops in Fengyang and Yangzhou came to attack Nanjing again?

Zheng Jing was very embarrassed.
