It's just that compared with a year ago, the people's hearts are now more scattered, and when the Qing army entered the city of Nanjing, only Gao Zhuo, the secretary of the criminal department, Zhang Jie, the secretary of the ministry, Yang Weiyuan, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Liu Chengzhi of the Hubu Langzhong, were martyred, and even ten fingers were not enough.

The disheartenedness of the people of Nanjing also affected the city of Hangzhou, and although everyone pinned their hopes on King Lu, King Lu and many others were frightened by the news of the loss of Nanjing, and repeatedly refused to take charge of the country.

After all, there is only a 500-mile road between Hangzhou and Nanjing and there is no danger to defend at all, since the Qing army has conquered Nanjing, then the next step must be to invade Hangzhou, and Hangzhou has neither a large army nor a natural danger to defend, King Lu feels that his ascension to the throne is a dead end.

Therefore, he used the excuse that he could not get the permission of Empress Zhang of Yi'an and could not ascend to the throne of the prison country: "King Xin and King Fu can enter the unification, it is all Empress Zhang's meaning, since Empress Zhang refuses to enter Hangzhou today, then this matter should be discussed again!"

Although many gentlemen of voice feel that they can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, King Lu just refuses to give in.

And there is further bad news to come, Emperor Hongguang did not run far, although he arrived in Wuhu and was protected by Huang Degong, but Huang Degong's subordinates Tian Xiong and Ma Degong sold Emperor Hongguang and Huang Degong for the first time, Huang Degong was martyred, Emperor Hongguang was captured, and King Lu felt more and more that there was a big fire pit ahead.

What's more, now it has become a two-way people supporting King Lu, including Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and the ministers of the southern capital also fled to Hangzhou, although they also support King Lu's prison country, but they are as powerful as fire and water with the Donglin gentleman, after all, less than a month ago, Ma Shiying was still shouting "Rather die in the north, not die in rebellion", we must completely liquidate the Donglin gentleman, how could the Donglin gentleman let go of Ma Shiying, a mortal enemy, with such a historical grudge.

Therefore, the city of Hangzhou suddenly became very lively, and the party struggle became more and more intense, but there was a thriving momentum on the side of Empress Zhang of Jinhua, almost at the same time that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng arrived in Hangzhou, and the tens of thousands of troops under Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yue, had arrived at Yanzhou Mansion in the north of Jinhua, and continued to go south from Yanzhou Mansion.

Whether it is Empress Zhang or Zhang Guowei, Zhu Dadian or Tong Yili are all relieved, what Empress Zhang's camp lacked most before was a powerful army, and now that there is an army of the Yue Guo Gong, Empress Zhang's camp can occupy an advantage, so Zhu Dadian and Zhang Guowei specially went to visit Empress Zhang: "Niangniang, the army of Yue Guogong has arrived, and Jinhua is foolproof!"

Zhang Guowei's opinion is different from Zhu Dadian: "Niangniang, I think that the Duke of Yue Guo has arrived, and the next step should be to plot the whole of Zhejiang, and you can't sit in Zhejiang!"

Although the two bigwigs are both Jinhua, they have slightly different views on this issue.

Zhu Dadian was more conservative, feeling that he had to first hold the territory of the three prefectures and twenty-three counties in central Zhejiang before he could consider the next step of development, and in another time and space, he accepted the canonization of the Tang King and the Lu King at the same time, but neither sent troops to the river nor provided substantial help to the Tang King, but was ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and in the end he could only be trapped in Jinhua Mansion.

And Zhang Guowei has also been the secretary of the military department for a while, he feels that the territory of the twenty-three counties of the three prefectures in central Zhejiang is too small, and Empress Zhang's camp must develop outward in order to gain a foothold, but Zhu Dadian is speaking with the examples of Tian Xiong and Ma Degong: "Now the Qing country is like a bamboo, although the Duke of Yue Guo is loyal, but also be careful of the second Tian Xiong and Ma Degong!"

When it comes to Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, and then thinks of Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Tianlu and others who have already served the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Guowei is also a little uncertain.

If Duoduo's southern expedition is only considered from a military point of view, it is simply a miracle of war, Duoduo only had 80,000 horses when he set out from Guide, but now Duoduo's soldiers and horses have exceeded 200,000, almost the entire military force of the Southern Ming Dynasty has changed camps, and except for a few battles, Duoduo has conquered a large country almost unscathed.

Especially after the loss of Nanjing and the capture of Emperor Hongguang, the people's hearts became more and more scattered, after all, there were only a few martyrs when Nanjing was lost, and Zhang Jie and Yang Weiyuan were all "eunuchs", and now the most important task of the Donglin gentleman is to be busy proving that Zhang and Yang were not martyred but killed themselves, and they will continue to be entangled in this issue in the next few decades.

There are only a handful of civil martyrs, not to mention the military generals who are the best at seeing the wind and making the rudder, Li Benshen, Yang Chengzu, Li Chengdong, and the rest of Gao Jie's troops almost all surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Liangzuo, Zhang Tianlu, Bu Congshan and others are endless, even if Huang Degong is unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to be loyal to the country, but Tian Xiong, Ma Degong, these generals will sell Huang Degong and Emperor Hongguang as soon as possible.

And more than half of Liu Yongxi's soldiers and horses are Gao Jie's old department, in case of another Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, I am afraid that Queen Zhang's camp will face a shocking crisis, so Zhu Dadian said this, Zhang Guowei could only push the ball to Queen Zhang: "Please also ask the mother to referee!"

Although Empress Zhang is a woman, she has the closest relationship with Liu Yongxi, so she said without hesitation: "I said when I was in Nandu that the use of troops is entrusted to Yue Guogong, no matter whether Yue Guogong wants to attack or defend, I will fully support it!"

Zhu Dadian couldn't help but sigh secretly, the Empress Zhang in front of her was an out-and-out virtuous and virtuous holy queen, but only when she mentioned Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, she would completely lose her mind.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing has to be decided by the cabinet even if it is not out of the holy will, how can it be entrusted to Liu Yongxi, but he also knows that Zhezhong is inseparable from Liu Yongxi's army, so he did not go against Empress Zhang, but asked: "King Lu seems to be interested in going south now, I don't know what the holy will of Niangniang is?" As the saying goes, it's better to make a decision early on this matter!"

After Emperor Hongguang was captured, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the owner of the world, and in this situation, Empress Zhang should come forward to set up a new king, but Empress Zhang said that "it has been wrong again and again, and it can't continue to be wrong", and she has always refused to announce the real person in her mind.

At least King Lu is not a satisfactory candidate for Queen Zhang, but everyone can understand what is going on, in the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Hongguang Dynasty, she is the imperial sister-in-law is aggrieved enough, but King Lu is a generation older than King Xin and King Fu, if he ascends the throne, Queen Zhang may become the "imperial nephew and daughter-in-law".

As the so-called name is not right, it is not good, Zhu Dadian feels that Empress Zhang wants to be the younger generation of King Lixin and King Fu in her heart, but no matter what, at least one Zhu Ming royal family must be established to win people's hearts, but Empress Zhang is very fond of Yue Guogong Liu Yongxi: "This matter will naturally have a way when Yue Guogong arrives, I am ready to go to the altar to worship the generals and crown Yue Guogong as the generalissimo of the world!"
