Chapter 472: Zhu Yujiao put forward a condition
Hearing that the imperial court issued an edict and negotiated peace with the Qing court, the soldiers of the Dantu Ming army were furious.
Wu Zheng also felt tired, but he could understand the helplessness of the court and cabinet ministers.
If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home.
The foundation of the Qingtai Dynasty is too weak, so weak that it will fall apart when the wind blows.
The so-called land of nine mansions (now plus Shaoxing Mansion is ten mansions), except for Wu Zheng's three mansions (plus Shaoxing Mansion is four mansions), Wang Zhiren's three mansions, the imperial court can really control the taxation of only the three mansions, and now is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, to let the imperial court continue to support a big war with the Qing army, it is really difficult.
Wu Zheng knew that this was wrong, but if he let himself give up the taxes of the four mansions, then Wu Zheng was really not at ease.
In this world, only what is in your own hands is your own.
Giving people a handle, this kind of thing that only a gentleman does, Wu Zheng can't do, and even for Shaoxing Mansion, which has not yet decided to belong, Wu Zheng has decided to take the lead.
Not to mention the other three provinces.
Therefore, Wu Zheng can understand the decision of the imperial court.
Under Wu Zheng's appeasement, the soldiers began to calm down.
But Xia Wanchun is different from other generals, he is knowledgeable and talented, he can see the essence of the problem clearly, he looked at Wu Zheng worriedly and asked: "The final beneficiary of this armistice, will it be my dynasty?" ”
Yes, the Qingtai Dynasty is a land of ten prefectures, most of Jiangsu and half of Zhejiang, such a territory, compared with the Qing court, which controls most of China, time is not on the side of the Qingtai Dynasty.
Everyone develops at the same time, but the difference between land and population is too great, how to compare?
Wu Zheng's explanation for this is, "The land occupied by the Qing court and the population under its rule are more than ten times that of our dynasty, but the pressure it bears is also more than ten times that of our dynasty, or even more, because the Ming people in this land will rebel, and the Qing court needs to invest more energy and financial resources to curb it. The most important thing is that our dynasty can achieve the unity of the monarch and the minister, while the Qing court needs to face the fact that the ministers who occupy as much as half of the subordinates anyway, so it is self-evident which is better and which is inferior. ”
Xia Wanchun was persuaded, but Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, can Qingtai Dynasty really be concentric?
Qian Qiaogong, who has been silent for the past two days, thinks differently, if he talks peacefully, then his uncle may still be saved.
Although my uncle didn't know life or death at this time, it was better to have hope than no hope...... He can be brought back and buried in his ancestral grave.
Qian Qiaogong hurriedly said: "Wu Zheng, take me to respond to Tianfu, and ask my uncle and soldiers if there are any survivors?" ”
Wu Zheng looked at Qian Qiaogong silently.
Originally, with Qian Qiaogong's cleverness, he naturally wouldn't ask this question.
But the authorities are confused, and no matter how smart the person is, he cares about it.
On the side, Xia Wanchun sighed and said: "Qiao Gong, why don't you understand, Yizhen has been surrounded by the Qing army for a long time, if it weren't for Wu Sangui's long-term inability to attack, the siege of three pouts, I have no intention of fighting to the death, I'm afraid you can't stand out...... With Uncle Ling's loyalty, he was not even willing to retreat, how could he ...... Ay. ”
Xia Wanchun couldn't bear to explain it, but how could Qian Qiaogong not understand what he meant?
Uncle refused to withdraw, determined to contain the Qing army for one more day on the south bank, there was already a will to die, how could it fall into the hands of the Qing army? And if he doesn't surrender, how can the Qing army let him go easily?
If he was really injured and captured by the Qing army, then ...... That's not as clean as martyrdom.
Yes, the exchange of prisoners has existed since ancient times, but this exchange can be exchanged for the results of the battles exchanged for the lives of many soldiers, how could my uncle be willing to do this in the court? If this is the case, I am afraid that my uncle will really live, and he will kill himself to make his will clear.
Thinking of this, Qian Qiaogong burst into tears.
Wu Zheng suddenly spoke: "I'll take you to Yingtianfu." ”
Not only Xia Wanchun was puzzled, but Qian Qiaogong was also stunned.
"As long as Uncle Ling is still alive, even if he exchanges me, I will never shirk!" Wu Zheng said calmly.
……。
Just when Wu Zheng explained the defense to Xia Wanchun and was about to set off for Yingtianfu.
Ma Shiying personally rushed to Dantu and met Wu Zheng.
His intentions are very complicated.
But just one thing made Wu Zheng extremely stunned.
Enthronement?!
Yes, Wu Zheng and Ma Shiying have a goal in private, and the ultimate goal is to ascend the throne as emperor, but obviously, it is inappropriate now.
The Emperor of the Land of Ten Mansions?
Might as well be a governor?
And when Ma Shiying said something else, Wu Zheng immediately categorically refused!
On the same day, Chen Zilong proposed to support Wu Zheng in the palace, which was unanimously supported by all the courtiers except Qian Sule.
But there is a premise for this, that is, Wu Zheng must be a descendant of Huizong, that is, Wu Zheng must recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors before ascending the throne.
In fact, Chen Zilong is not untargeted, no matter whether Wu Zheng's identity is true or false, as long as Wu Zheng recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors and has the surname Zhu, then even if Wu Zheng is fake, so what?
In history, the emperor had no heirs, and it was not for nothing that the children of the same clan inherited the throne.
Therefore, as long as Wu Zheng has the surname Zhu, it will be classified as the heir under the name of Huizong, which can be regarded as "Zhengshuo".
This is also one of the most important reasons why the courtiers unanimously seconded the proposal.
The situation is urgent, and no matter who the three emperors of Guangzhou are, it will become inevitable that the north and the south will fight.
If the Qingtai Dynasty wants to occupy the righteousness, it must have an emperor, otherwise the name is not justified, how to resist the south?
This was another important reason why the courtiers unanimously seconded the motion.
Of course, there are other reasons, such as Wu Zheng's current position of power is no longer rewardable, such as Wu Zheng's strength in his hands is enough to overthrow the cabinet and start anew, etc.
Since the momentum is unstoppable, it is better to follow the trend.
At least you can mix up the merits of support, right?
But the unanimous opinion of the ministers was temporarily shelved by the noncommittal attitude of Zhu Yujiao, the prison state.
This is not the reason why Wu Zheng refused, but Zhu Yujiao put forward an absurd condition that Wu Zheng could not agree to.
After Zhu Yujiao retired from the dynasty that day, Ma Shiying was left behind.
The monarch and the ministers had a detailed discussion that went straight to the point.
Zhu Yujiao did not hide it, and told Ma Shiying about the reversal of the identities of Wu Zheng and Wu Xiaomei.
Then asked: "Ma Xiang has been following Zhen Guogong, and he is not an outsider, this palace wants to ask, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”
Rao is Ma Shiying is accustomed to seeing strange things in the court and court, and he was also shocked by Zhu Yujiao's words, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
How crazy and ridiculous Zhu Yujiao's approach is!
In ancient times, there was a legend that the civet cat changed the prince, but now Li Dai is stiff and will never let the ancients.
In this way, even if the Ming Dynasty is revived, I am afraid that it is not the original Ming Dynasty, and even the emperor is not a descendant of the Zhu family, is this world still called Ming?
However, the ass determines the position, and if the position is different, the opinion will be different.
Ma Shiying's ass is now sitting on Wu Zheng's side, and his position is naturally different.
