Wu Zheng patted Chen Sheng's shoulder wordlessly and said: "This is right and wrong, it should be said, what to do in what position, how much strength to do as much as you want." Longwu Dynasty ...... Ask for more blessings. ”

Wu Zheng didn't lie to Chen Sheng, that's what he thought in his heart, trying to delay Duoduo going south, not only because Wu Zheng really had a high posture and a big belly, but he also had the world in mind.

It's that Wu Zheng understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, which is like the late Han Dynasty when the heroes competed for hegemony and the Three Kingdoms stood together.

Today's Qing court is like Cao Wei, unscrupulously encroaching on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and if Longwu is destroyed, the pressure on Wu Zheng will be doubled or even several times greater.

But the strength at this time was different from that of the Three Kingdoms when they were fighting for hegemony, Longwu did not have the strength of Shu Han, and he did not have Sun Wu's territory.

The most important thing is that Wu Zheng still has a mess behind him, and this court is often still acting as an obstacle to himself.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wu Zheng to spend a huge price to reinforce the Longwu Dynasty, and he also knows that once this advice is said in the court, it will attract everyone's objections and vetoes, including Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujiao, who will not agree to invest their limited forces in the south.

This will lead to an emptiness of troops from Yingtianfu to Hangzhou, and if the Qing army suddenly moves south, how to resist.

But the most critical reason is that Zhu Yihai and the Longwu Dynasty were in a confrontation, and Zhu Yujiao was appointed as the supervisor of the country, and it was not recognized by the Longwu Dynasty, that is to say, now in the land south of the Yangtze River, there are two Ming regimes that do not belong to each other and do not recognize each other.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really ridiculous, when the strong enemy is pressing the territory and the country is in danger, the two regimes are still in internal friction.

But Wu Zheng can't change this situation, at least in a short period of time.

This makes Wu Zheng have to have a choice, between Zhu Yujiao and Longwu, Wu Zheng doesn't have to think about it, he will also choose Zhu Yujiao.

Supporting Zhu Yujiao is not Wu Zheng's loyalty to the Zhu family.

But in the face of this existing imperial court and the situation that cannot be changed, Wu Zheng needs to have a spokesperson on it.

Zhu Yihai is not suitable, his jealousy of Wu Zheng is not because of things, but because of the balance of power, and because of fear.

And Wu Zheng also couldn't find a Zhu family member who could speak for him, so Zhu Yujiao became Wu Zheng's only choice.

No matter what, Zhu Yujiao has a clean heart, she only wants to be right and wrong, not for interests.

In the past nearly a year, Zhu Yujiao's actions have satisfied Wu Zheng.

But the sequelae also began to appear, and this assassination made Wu Zheng vigilant.

People's hearts vary from time to time, and no one is still worried about food and clothing.

Only when you stand at a sufficient height will you have thoughts that you have never had before.

After all, Zhu Yujiao is a human being, a woman.

A woman who comes into contact with supreme power, in all seriousness, is no longer a woman.

In less than a year, Zhu Yujiao is changing, and Wu Zheng is also changing.

Therefore, when Wu Zheng patted Chen Sheng's shoulder and said that let Long Chaowu ask for more blessings, the regret and helplessness in his heart were self-evident, but Chen Sheng didn't understand this.

Chen Sheng said inappropriately: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be sad about this, although your lips are cold and your teeth are cold, but the Longwu Dynasty and the Qing army are fighting for both defeats, it is the time when our army grows, it won't take too long, as long as it takes a year, the end will definitely double the strength of Lihaiwei, and then our army can cross the river under the leadership of the adult and ...... the northern expedition." ”

Wu Zheng glared at Chen Sheng in annoyance, and suddenly scolded: "How do you know that the Longwu Dynasty will definitely be able to fight with the Qing army?" What if the Qing army easily took Fujian? At that time, Duoduo led the army and the Qing army in Jiangbei to attack our dynasty from the north and south, how to deal with it, did he really flee to the sea to form a court in exile? It's already a commander, use your brain! ”

After speaking, no longer paying attention to Chen Sheng, Wu Zheng strode away, shouting at the shore: "Let's go!" ”

Chen Sheng looked at Wu Zheng's back depressedly, scratching his head, not knowing what he had said wrong.

……。

In Hangzhou Bay, the twilight sun shines on the sea surface of a golden yellow.

Even the figures and ships are golden.

The warm sea breeze made people drowsy, and a big boat, Wu Zheng stood on the bow of the boat, and the hem of his clothes was blown by the sea breeze "slightly".

Wu Zheng was thinking about how to make a short Northern Expedition.

This is a difficult problem, and the land of several prefectures today cannot support an army strong enough to resist the Qing court.

Wanton military force will only hasten one's own demise.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wu Zheng to be in harmony with the Qing court, and he needs to win by surprise.

Since it is impossible to confront the Qing army on land in a dignified manner, then it is at sea.

Promote one's own strengths, avoid one's own shortcomings, and attack the enemy's weaknesses.

While the Qing army was concentrating on devouring the territory of the Ming Dynasty on land, forming a strong enough navy to raid the imperial courts in Tianjin and Beijing might change the entire situation of the war.

This idea has gradually taken shape in Wu Zheng's mind since Wu Zheng launched the Northern Expedition.

Now that Songjiang Mansion is in hand, a natural Palembang jumps in front of Wu Zheng's eyes.

Just when Wu Zheng's thoughts were flying, Wu Xiaomei's voice came from behind him.

"Brother, the sea breeze hurts your body, why don't you go back to the cabin to rest?"

"Hmm." Wu Zheng turned his head, looked at Wu Xiaomei's concerned eyes and said, "I heard that you and Simin agreed to stay by His Highness's side?" ”

Wu Xiaomei was asked bluntly by Wu Zheng, a little surprised, she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "She...... Your Highness knows my origins. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I know this, I want to ask, are you really willing to stay by Your Highness's side?" Simin and His Highness are aunts and cousins, and it makes sense that they are willing to stay by His Highness's side, but you are also willing, I feel strange. ”

Wu Xiaomei raised her head, looked at Wu Zheng with clear eyes, and said: "Your Highness is right, now that my father is staying in Pinggang Mountain, Simin is pregnant again, and my brother is leading the army to fight on the battlefield, I am afraid that I will not have time to take care of the family, rather than I am alone in Yingtianfu, it is better to be accompanied by His Royal Highness and Simin, at least when Simin gives birth, there is also a care." Brother doesn't have to worry too much about this. ”

Wu Zheng sighed: "You're right, the Wu family of four gathers less and leaves more, it's my brother who owes my father and you." ”

Wu Xiaomei raised her head and squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't blame my brother, just blame this damn world." Thinking of the people who fled from their hometowns in Shaoxing Mansion, our family is finally safe and sound, and it is time to be satisfied. ”

Wu Zheng sighed, "Sister, you have grown up." ”

Wu Xiaomei also sighed softly, "Can you not grow up?" Whoever knows that they have such a background has to grow up. ”

Looking at the bitterness on Wu Xiaomei's face, Wu Zheng felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, as long as my brother and I live, I will never let you suffer a trace of grievance." ”

"Thank you, brother."

"That's right." Wu Zheng didn't want to make Wu Xiaomei sad anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "When I talked to Shen Zhiyuan today, he wanted to go to Yingtianfu with you, what do you think?" ”
