Although Zhu Dadian could understand Liu Yongxi's painstaking efforts, he didn't believe that Liu Yongxi really wanted to absorb the remnants of the hundreds of thousands of Dashun Army, but as soon as he mentioned Zhang Xianzhong, who was in charge of Sichuan and Shu, Zhang Guowei immediately added: "Zhu Xiangguo said very much, if we want to establish the southeast of the country, we must have Jingxiang, otherwise the country will inevitably be in danger, and now whether it is Azige, He Tengjiao or Zhang Xianzhong to take Huguang, it is extremely unfavorable to the country!"

Although Lu Zhenfei maintained a neutral attitude towards this matter, Zhang Guowei was also interested in what he said: "Your Highness, what the two Xiangguo said is extremely true, if we want to establish the southeast of the country, we must first keep Jingxiang and Jianghuai, but Your Highness can personally pass through Jianghuai, and Jingxiang may temporarily use the Gao family and the remnants of these thieves under her name!"

For a Jinling regime that owns the south, it is necessary to keep Jingxiang and Jianghuai, and both are indispensable, but in terms of the current situation, the Yue Ming army must continue to march to Jianghuai after recovering Jinling, although there are Wang Sun Fan, Jin Sheng, Xing Shengping troops in the upstream, but whether it is Azig, He Tengjiao or Zhang Xianzhong, it is not easy to deal with, in this situation the use of Gao and the remnants of the Dashun army is naturally a logical thing.

Zhu Dadian's biggest worry in the past few days is that Lu Zhenfei, who has just entered the cabinet, has always kept the idea of punishing the remnants of the thieves, and now he is naturally very happy to see Lu Zhenfei have such a big change: "Lu Xiangguo said very much, the Dashun Army is already yesterday's yellow flower, and Zhang Xianzhong is the big trouble!" ”

As soon as Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Dadian said this, Liu Yongxi remembered that Zhang Xianzhong had to be tossed in Sichuan and Shu until the winter of the third year of Shunzhi before being destroyed by Haoge, and now Haoge and Duoduo are in Yingtianfu, I am afraid that Zhang Xianzhong is now proud of the spring breeze, and it is very likely to go east to Jingxiang.

Although Zhang Xianzhong is not highly evaluated, if Zhang Xianzhong goes out of the Three Gorges, it will be a great threat to Huguang, and more importantly, Zhang Xianzhong has even occupied Wuchang after years of fighting in Huguang.

Liu Yongxi couldn't help but nodded: "Several Xiangguo are right, I'm worried that Zhang Xianzhong, a thief, will accept the Gao family as a side concubine, and this matter is troublesome for the three Xiangguo to make it clear with Zhang Niangniang and Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

Although Liu Yongxi persuaded Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing at the first time and made these edicts the consensus of the imperial court, Liu Yongxi knew that Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing were a little unhappy, after all, before he recovered His Royal Highness the King of Nanjing Yue, he was going to marry a side concubine to enter the door, even if the side concubine was now far away in Jingzhou, but Queen Zhang and Princess Kunxing were a little unhappy.

This news was secretly leaked to Liu Yongxi by Zhu Meier, but she also had a sour taste when she said this, who told Empress Zhang to decide to wait for the recovery of Nanjing, she and Bian Yujing, two female officials, married with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but Nanjing was not recovered, and the Gao family who suddenly appeared has become the Zhenyi lady of His Royal Highness King Yue.

Although Liu Yongxi himself said that he was a "side concubine", with this Princess Yue, who was once the queen of Dashun, the status of her and Bian Yujing will drop again.

It's just that although Liu Yongxi finally made Zhu Meier and Bian Yujing happy, Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing were still a little unhappy, and Liu Yongxi was busy rushing back to Liyang, so he could only pin his hopes on these ministers.

And Zhu Dadian was the first to agree: "Your Highness, please rest assured, this matter will be handed over to a few of our old ministers, speaking of which, we can't think about it, just thinking that Fujian is also a friendly army, but it is not as thoughtful as His Royal Highness, and there will be no room for relaxation between us and the Tang King when Nanjing is recovered!" ”

Although Zhejiang and Fujian are now standing side by side, everyone has a common enemy before recovering Nanjing, but once Yue Ming recovers Nanjing, the basis for cooperation against the enemy no longer exists, and Zhang Guowei has also figured it out: "What Yan Zhi said is very true, the great cause of Zhongxing must be considered in the long run, even if Nanjing is recovered, the road is only half gone!" ”

In the past, the opponents of the Yue Ming army were only the two Qing armies commanded by Duoduo and Azig, but if they really want to recover Nanjing, the imperial court will face a more complicated situation, and I don't know how many enemies like Tang Wang and Zhang Xianzhong jumped out to challenge the imperial court.

But Zhang Guowei was originally a utilitarian character, and now these challenges even made him feel excited, and Lu Zhenfei could be regarded as understanding the hard work of His Royal Highness King Yue: "Your Royal Highness King Yue, please rest assured that there will be no major incident with us in the imperial court, and the two Majesties have actually been concerned about His Royal Highness King Yue, it is better to let the old minister persuade him first, and then His Royal Highness will admit his mistake and ensure that everything is calm!" ”

Lu Zhenfei volunteered, and Liu Yongxi was completely relieved: "With Lu Xiangguo's words, I will rest assured to go to the palace to admit my mistake, does Lu Xiangguo still remember the scene when we first met in the boat?" ”

For the Longwu court in Fuzhou, although all the good news came from the north, and it was a series of good news, but for His Royal Highness the Tang King and the Longwu court, these so-called good news were fatal in a sense.

Although everyone thinks that the Longwu court is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and the small court of Zhejiang's prison is only a grass platform team, and the Longwu court also won He Tengjiao, a very powerful local official, but with the victories of the Yue Ming army again and again, everyone no longer considers who is the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and rushed to Zhejiang, and many "gentlemen" who strongly supported the Longwu court in the past now hope to find an official and a half-position in Zhejiang.

Recently, there was news that Liu Yongxi advocated the inclusion of hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Dashun army and accepted Li Zicheng's widowed wife Gao as a side concubine, Tang Wang and Huang Daozhou thought that this matter would be turned upside down in the Yue Ming Dynasty, after all, in the Longwu Dynasty in order to absorb the remnants of the hundreds of thousands of Dashun army has made a big fuss, although in the end no conclusion was formed, but many incumbent officials have gone directly to Zhejiang to defect to Empress Zhang because of disagreement.

Now Tang Wang, Huang Daozhou and Zheng Zhilong all hope that Zhejiang will make a big fuss because of this matter, and it is best that Empress Zhang, Princess Kunxing and Liu Yongxi will tear their faces and even fight a civil war because of this.

But to the disappointment of the Fujian monarchs, although the matter did not make a small trouble, but it quickly calmed down, and even those officials who turned to Zhejiang because they were dissatisfied with the Tang King's incorporation of thieves remained silent, and even a few people even praised His Royal Highness King Yue and Empress Yi'an for their wisdom and martial arts in this matter.

This made the Fujian monarchs and ministers who were watching the show even more worried, although I don't know how many remnants of the Dashun army were incorporated in Zhejiang, and what kind of status the Gao clan had in the Dashun army, but the situation was obviously more and more unfavorable to Fujian, and after the Gao clan and the remnants of the thieves were used by Zhejiang, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang of the Longwu Dynasty, was in a very unfavorable situation.

Therefore, the king of Tang had to invite Zheng Zhilong over: "The Zhejiang people and Jianyu have been in a confrontation in the south of the Yangtze River, if our army sends troops to support the Zhejiang people, where does Nan'anhou think it should start?" ”

Zheng Zhilong immediately laughed: "Your Majesty, instead of mobilizing the people, it is better to send a messenger to Hangzhou!" ”

Although Zheng Zhilong didn't say why he sent an envoy to Hangzhou, the Tang King, who originally had high hopes for Zheng Zhilong, changed his color: "Nan'an Hou, you and I must start and finish well!" ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't take Emperor Longwu in front of him to heart: "Your Highness, I have always thought that the monarch and the minister should start and finish well, and I have never failed His Highness, but whether His Highness owes it in his heart is only known to His Highness!" ”

He directly changed "Your Majesty" to His Royal Highness, not only the Tang King changed his color, but even the civil officials present were also changed for him, if it weren't for Zheng Zhilong's heavy troops and Fuzhou was also the territory of the Zheng brothers, I am afraid that there would be civil officials on the spot who jumped out to kill Zheng Zhilong, a national thief.

Tang Wang's hands trembled for a long time before he finally reacted: "Nan'an Hou, I want to drive the expedition in person!" ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but smile on his face: "Your Highness is really smart, Benhou is a Fujianese, so he naturally doesn't want the war to affect Fujian's homeland, but between the monarchs and ministers, His Royal Highness is willing to drive the expedition in person, that is naturally the wisest decision!" ”

Although Zheng Zhilong's negotiations with Zhejiang are still ongoing, Zheng Zhilong has decided to give up his full support for the Longwu court, after all, there has been too much unhappiness between him and the Longwu court, although the Longwu Dynasty was supported by him, but the Tang King and the civil and military officials around him are trying their best to suppress Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong boasted that his ability was not inferior to His Royal Highness the King of Yue in the north, but he had never achieved anything in the Longwu Dynasty, because the Longwu Dynasty had a good emperor like King Tang, but there were only two little women in the north, Empress Zhang and Princess Kunxing, who could let Liu Yongxi show his skills.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to say: "No matter what conditions Your Highness has, you can put it forward now, after all, I think that the monarch and the minister should really start and finish well!" ”

But for the Longwu court, this news is even better than Yue Ming's capture of Nanjing to worship Xiaoling, after all, Longwu can establish a country in Fu completely because of Zheng Zhilong's full support, and after Zheng Zhilong turned his face, the Longwu Dynasty may not even have a place to survive in Fujian, but the Tang King is full of hope for another mainstay of the Ming Dynasty: "Thank you Nan'an Hou, I am ready to conquer Huguang in person, He Tengjiao and He Governor are here, and the country will be able to prosper!" ”

But it wasn't just the Longwu Imperial Court staring at Huguang, but now Azig was also taken aback by an unexpected news: "Where did this rumor come from?" There is no contradiction between the Ming Kingdom and the thieves, how can the thieves be used by the Ming Kingdom! ”

But Shang Kexi, who made a special trip from Jiangxi to report the news, swore and said: "This matter is true, and I heard that the puppet king of Yue not only co-opted tens of thousands of thieves in Jingzhou, but also specially accepted Empress Gao of Li Zicheng as a side concubine, and let the Gao family sit in the military affairs of the five provinces of Jingzhou!" ”
