Chapter 98: The Heart of the Ministers (Second Update, Asking for Support)

There is always a person in the imperial court who will cut the feudal domain!

This is a well-known fact, for Hong Chengchou, who is familiar with history books, he naturally knows what will happen to those so-called "strong vassals" throughout the ages.

After expressing his inner concerns, Hong Chengchou continued.

"Now the four feudal domains seem to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but the four feudal domains are full of contradictions, once the Qing court's external troubles are eliminated, the imperial court will always cut the feudal domain! At that time, what should Hong do? ”

After mentioning this issue, Hong Chengchou's eyes stared at Zhu Yingsheng, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly spit out a sentence.

"Hong someone abandoned the Ming Dynasty and voted for the Qing Dynasty, and ended up in the realm of advancing and retreating today, if Hong abandoned the Ming Dynasty and voted for the Li family, what should Hong do when the imperial court cuts the feudal domain in the future?"

Over the years, Hong Chengchou has not regretted it, but he has no way out, if it weren't for this, how could he persist to this day, and it is precisely because of the mistakes of the year that he will carefully want to seek a future for himself.

"That's exactly what Zhongtang said, there will always be a time when the imperial court will cut the domain."

Zhu Yingsheng had a calm and virtuous attitude.

"Throughout the annals of history, where the branches are strong and weak, in the end, the country will be in chaos, the imperial court in order to maintain the unification, will definitely cut the feudal domain, so as to strengthen the weak branches, and the strength of the four feudal domains is also comparable, and each has contradictions, so, if the imperial court has the assistance of virtuous ministers, it is natural to benefit from it, and then seek strength in the feudal system, and among the four feudal domains, the Jin feudal clan is also loyal to the imperial court, although the imperial court seems to have no soldiers and no power, but there are feudal discord, the imperial court is easy to deal with, if the imperial court cuts the feudal domain, the feudal domain can not work together, the imperial court can naturally break each other, so, it is only a matter of time before the power returns to the imperial court. ”

In this regard, Hong Chengchou and Zhu Yingsheng can be said to see the same, but he can't be like Zhu Yingsheng, so unscrupulous and straightforward, a little carelessness may cause a strange disaster, so he will be cautious. After thinking for a long time, Hong Chengchou said.

"What about Hong then?"

Even Hong Chengchou believes that even if he was dead at that time, he would probably have to be picked up from the grave, and then his bones would be scattered.

"But Lord Zhongtang, don't forget, if Lord Zhongtang is so hesitant again, I'm afraid that even this year will not be able to pass, but yet, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the west, in the eyes of Lord Zhongtang, when the time comes, Lord Zhongtang will have a little way to live? Even if you surrender, can you find a way to live? ”

Zhu Yingsheng's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Hong Chengchou's head in the cold winter, which immediately made his whole person wilt and couldn't speak for a long time. But Hong Chengchou did not give up, and after calming down, he insisted again. "Among the four feudatories, who is willing to drive for the imperial court, today's matter of the imperial court's return, coupled with the matter of King Huai, all parties can be said to be lacking in skills, how can they take care of Hong?"

Hong Chengchou, who is in Changsha, naturally knows the chaos in the world, and it is precisely because of this that he has strengthened his idea of dragging it out.

"Don't talk about anything else, Yun Qi, what is the identity of King Huai? Other people don't know, how can Yun Qi not know? ”

Hong Chengchou's rhetorical question made Zhu Yingsheng stunned, and he immediately thought of the secret conversation he had with him when he entered Hong Chengchou's shogunate.

"Back then, the Northern Prince case, although the regent called it false, but Hong didn't know the truth? The crown prince was killed in the capital for him, and at the same time he was killed by the king of Yongmourning, and among the three sons of the queen of Zhou, only the whereabouts of the king of Dingai are unknown......"

Staring at Zhu Yingsheng deadly, Hong Chengchou continued.

"At the beginning, Hong once said that the first emperor must have heirs, but he never thought that King Ding would not only be able to endure humiliation and burden, but also be able to achieve this feat in a short period of time......"

The reason why Hong Chengchou is so sure is because as early as when he learned that King Huai was the heir of Emperor Xiaolie, he had sent someone to obtain the portrait of King Huai in Jiangbei, unlike others, he had met the first emperor many times, and he was naturally no stranger to Chongzhen's appearance, and because King Ding's whereabouts were indeed unknown, he believed that this "rumor" would never be a rumor.

"It may not matter whether King Huai is the king or not, but how can the court allow the king to live in Huai? This rumor first came out of Beizhili, and what is the reason, Hong still doesn't know, but if the court plots to determine the king, what will happen to the Chu Domain? In Hong's opinion, I'm afraid it will definitely be requisitioned, the four feudatories are enemies of each other, so how can they be ...... for a long time if they are so centrifuged."

Although Hong Chengchou was a little flustered because he was sure that King Huai was the heir of the first emperor, for Zhu Yingsheng, who had already recognized his master, after a moment of panic, he suddenly smiled.

"Nakado-sama is worried about ......"

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhu Yingsheng continued.

"It's true that the four feudal domains are centrifuged, but if you say that the feudal domains must not be able to last long, it is a worrying statement!"

"People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries!"

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhu Yingsheng, only to see him sitting there safely, and did not give an answer, but just lowered his head and dipped his hand in tea on the table casually.

After writing two words on the table, Zhu Yingsheng said to Hong Chengchou.

"Lord Nakado, please take a look!"

Hong Chengchou looked up at the table, only to see that Zhu Yingsheng had two words written in tea instead of ink in front of him, and after a closer look, his face suddenly changed sharply, and his heart suddenly surged out of a wild beat, he looked at Zhu Yingsheng in astonishment, and was speechless for a long time, his surprise fell in Zhu Yingsheng's eyes, only to see him silently wipe off the two words, and then said slowly.

"Therefore, the king Yu Zhongtang can be said to be sweeping the bed and waiting for him!"

"This ...... This ......"

Shaking his head and sighing, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Hong Chengchou's mouth, and a sadness welled up in his heart.

"Lord Zhongtang, you need to know that this is only one chance! Besides......"

Zhu Yingsheng seemed to be careless, but his tone was very firm.

"If this is not the case, Lord Zhongtang thinks that who in this world can tolerate Zhongtang!"

Zhu Yingsheng's words fell on Hong Chengchou's ears, causing his hands to suddenly tremble as if they had been stung by a wasp.

"This, this ......"

The words stammered, and Hong Chengchou was speechless for a while. Nodding his head in disobedience.

"My lord, the messenger has sent an expedited eight hundred from Kunming."

Just then, a subordinate came in and interrupted their conversation. Zhu Yingsheng, who knew that his words had already played a role, did not continue to press, and now, he still needs to give him some more time, the general trend is like this, and he cannot be allowed not to make a choice.

Come, the messenger sent an 800 urgent from Wu Sangui, and the letter consulted Hong Chengchou about the capture of Yongchang Mansion by Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, whether to attack or defend?

Mu Tianbo wants to spoil Hong's big thing!

After reading Wu Sangui's letter, Hong Chengchou's brows furrowed.

From the king of Huai to set up the southern palace in Burma, these two years, Mu Tianbo, who was supported by the king of Huai, began to recruit troops in Burma, with the prestige of the Mu family of the Duke of Qianguo in Myanmar and other places, easily recruited a size of no less than 100,000 people, those local troops in the training of the loyal army, has been hidden into an army, although the number of firecrackers, artillery is limited, but with 100,000 soldiers, Mu Tianbo has disappeared from the past. Even repeatedly attacked Yunnan, trying to recapture Yunnan, for this reason, Wu Sangui was in a hurry many times, in this regard, Hong Chengchou was naturally quite helpless, he was worried that Wu Sangui defeated Mu Tianbo, and if the time came, if the southern army had to go north, he was also worried that Mu Tianbo captured Yunnan, making the situation out of control.

"No matter what, Yunnan can't afford to lose!"

As soon as he learned of the situation in Yunnan, Wu Zhengzhong immediately said that as Hong Chengchou's cronies, he naturally knew what everyone was relying on now, and it was these southwestern provinces, the territory of these southwestern provinces, that were related to their net worth and future.

"Once Mu Tianbo recaptures Yunnan, he will inevitably invade Guizhou and Sichuan in Yunnan, and at that time, our forces will be attacked on their backs!"

"Yunnan must not be lost, it must be saved, once Yunnan is lost, not only am we afraid of falling into the situation of being attacked by the enemy, and it may even lead to internal chaos, once everyone is in chaos......

Hong Chengchou, who knew that he couldn't withstand any wind and waves now, said to Wu Zhengzhong.

"Huilin, you will draft a letter to Wu Sangui according to this meaning, telling him that the importance of Yunnan is very important, and if Yunnan is lost, the Ming court will definitely respond from it, once the place is centrifuged and the army's heart is chaotic, we must die without a place to be buried."

Hong Chengchou is not only worried about Yunnan, he is even more worried that if Yunnan is lost, the internal turmoil, at that time, everyone will inevitably find a way to live, as for whether he Hong Chengchou is dead or alive, who cares? When the time comes, they may even trade his head for his life.

"What if General Wu defeats Mu Tianbo?"

Wu Zhengzhong has always thought far-reaching when encountering problems.

"Will it annoy Dingnan Mansion because of this, after all, there are more than 10,000 Dingnan troops under its command, and they are all loyal and righteous troops, if they also go north together, Yunnan will be more auspicious!"

"So, keep it! You have to write in the letter: You must defend instead of attacking, disrupt its grain route, so that it does not dare to invade Kunming easily, as for the future...... Now we must protect Yunnan first. ”

As for the future...... For Hong Chengchou, who was already difficult to protect himself, he naturally couldn't take care of Wu Sangui, and he also knew very well that the Mu family would never tolerate Wu Sangui occupying Yunnan.

Maybe you can make a deal with Yunnan and the Mu family...... When this thought surfaced, Hong Chengchou immediately dispelled this idea, Mu Tianbo might agree to make a deal with Yunnan, but he would definitely fall into the well at the right time.

The Mu family also can't wait to eat his bones!

Hong Chengchou, whose eyes drooped slightly, sighed, and then naturally thought of Zhu Yingsheng's previous words, how could he not know that Zhu Yingsheng was telling the truth.

There really is no one in the world who can tolerate him!

I'm afraid it's the Qing Dynasty...... Suddenly, I thought of Hong Chengchou of the Qing Dynasty, and naturally thought of the emperor who had not heard from him since he left the customs.

How is the emperor now?

Have you crossed the Yellow River safely into Shaanxi?
