Chapter 441: Chaos in the Southeast

Loss of civil and military harmony has always been a taboo in officialdom, especially at a time when the enemy is present.

The rift between Wu Wendao and Cao Fengnian has already formed, and it is impossible to repair it.

It's just that Wu Wendao doesn't want to completely turn his face with Cao Fengnian at this juncture, so he still maintains the most basic relationship on the surface.

Of course, the small report behind the back should still be beaten.

His handwritten letter of impeachment of Cao Fengnian for being domineering and doing whatever he wants has been sent to the governor's yamen. I believe that the governor will see this letter in the near future.

Then the governor will be furious.

Is he Cao Fengnian the governor of the bull and the cow?

The governor is a ruthless person who can kill even Zuo Liangyu, will he be afraid of a Yunyang general soldier?

Of course, Wu Wendao also knew that changing the battle on the spot would be a taboo for soldiers. Until the last resort, the governor will not replace Cao Fengnian.

As long as he kills his sharpness and earns back some face for Wu Wendao, he will be satisfied.

He believed that the governor of the block, who was also a civilian official, would definitely be on his side.

...

...

Forbidden City, Nanjing.

Zhu Cihong officially announced the canonization of his eldest son Zhu Heyuan as the crown prince at the court meeting, announcing it to the world.

He originally wanted to wait a little longer and wait until Yuan'er was full of age before performing the canonization ceremony. However, some courtiers advised that the Son of Heaven should establish a reserve earlier to consolidate the country and reassure the people, and Zhu Cihong responded to the donkey.

The crown prince's canonization ceremony was very complicated, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy tossing and turning for most of the day before the ceremony was completed.

Not only the ministers, but also Zhu Cihong himself was tired enough.

But there is no way, the royal family has its own royal etiquette.

If the etiquette is not complicated, it will not reflect the royal dignity.

After the end of the court, Zhu Cihong came to Kunning Palace and told the queen the good news.

Although he knew that it was a matter of time before his son became the prince, Tongtang still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart after hearing the news.

That's the prince, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the next son of heaven!

His son will reign in the world in the future and become a generation of bright kings. Definitely!

After hugging the prince, Zhu Cihong handed Zhu Heyuan to the nurse and enjoyed a rare time alone with Tongtang.

"Your Majesty, the flying shuttle loom concubine you ordered someone to make last time has already ordered someone to try it, and it is very easy to use. I don't know if Your Majesty can order the Ministry of Works to do more, and the concubines also ordered the palace people to weave cloth in the palace to supplement food and clothing. ”

Tongtang's idea is not unprecedented.

Zhu Cihong's queen mother once led the palace maid to weave cloth in the palace to reduce the use of the harem.

Tongtang also wanted to share the burden for him.

"I'm right. I first asked the Ministry of Industry to make 200 shuttle looms and send them to your palace. But there's one thing you have to promise me. ”

Zhu Cihong said in harmony.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"This weaving thing must be done according to one's ability, and must not be burdened by oneself. Otherwise, I won't allow you to weave anymore. ”

Although it was an order, Zhu Cihong's eyes were full of affection, and Tongtang couldn't help but blush, and said with a slight bow: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

"Alright, let's take me for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Zhu Cihong took Tongtang's hand and said softly.

...

...

"Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Department is urgent!"

Zhu Cihong and Tongtang were spreading freely in the imperial garden, when Han Zanzhou suddenly ran over and knelt on the ground and held a letter high above his head.

Zhu Cihong couldn't help frowning.

At this time, it is really a bad scenery to come to seal the emergency. However, state affairs are important, and he cannot delay.

He took the urgent report, opened the envelope and opened it to look at it, and after only looking at it for a while, he said angrily: "Zheng Zhilong, this guy is simply shameless!" ”

Tongtang couldn't help but get nervous, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”

"Zheng Zhilong sent sailors to pretend to be Japanese robbers to the southeast coast and plunder."

Zhu Cihong sighed, his words full of helplessness.

Zheng Zhilong was originally born as a pirate, and most of his subordinates were originally pirates. This time, it is natural to be familiar with the road and there is no difficulty.

As for the reason, it's not hard to guess.

First, the grain in Liangguang is limited, and the grain that King Gui delivered to Zheng Zhilong is not enough. Zheng Zhilong had to grab it in order to keep the food.

Second, Zheng Zhilong also wanted to create chaos in the southeast to distract the attention of the imperial court, create an opportunity for King Gui to raise troops, and gain time.

It's just that this method is too shameless.

"Ahh

Tongtang was taken aback.

She had heard a little about Zheng Zhilong's recent actions, but she didn't expect this guy to be so bold that he dared to order someone to pretend to be a Japanese robber and rob the southeast.

"Your Majesty, then you should go and deal with state affairs, the concubines are not in the way here."

Zhu Cihong nodded.

Tongtang is still very sensible.

"Han Banban, Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the Propaganda Department, will meet you."

...

...

In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong stared at the map with a frown.

He took the charcoal pen and dotted and circled in the southeastern provinces, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong's move is intended to disperse the forces of the imperial court, if Your Majesty mobilizes a large army to defend the southeast, the pressure on the north will be great."

Lu Zhenfei analyzed: "It's better to send Denglai Sailor to take a trip." The problem of the southeast is not on the sea and not on land. ”

Lu Zhenfei's words are still very reasonable.

The reason why Zheng Zhilong is strong is because of the water master.

His attack on the southeast will certainly only be in the coastal area, and will not go deeper.

Zhu Cihong sent the Tiger Ben army to suppress it, and Zheng Zhilong would not order people to fight head-on.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates grabbed the money and grain and got on the boat and left, and the army of the imperial court could only stare dryly.

And if you send Denglai Sailor to it, the situation will be completely different.

Zheng Zhilong's boat wants to run, and the Denglai sailor can chase it. As long as you want to catch up, you can always catch up.

"Ben Bing is right. But who should be sent to lead the sailors? ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly.

"There's a candidate here, but..."

Seeing Lu Zhenfei's hesitation, Zhu Cihong cleared his throat and said, "This soldier doesn't have to worry, but it's okay to say it." ”

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." The person who the minister wants to recommend is Zhu Chenggong. ”

Zhu Chenggong is naturally Zheng Chenggong.

Zhu Cihong once gave him the surname Zhu.

After the news of Zheng Zhilong's secret communication with the Eastern Captives, Zheng Chenggong was under a lot of pressure for a while, but he finally survived and performed well in the battle to exterminate the Japanese invaders, winning the trust of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, although this person is Zheng Zhilong's biological son, his loyalty to the imperial court can be seen day and moon. And he is good at water warfare, and he is one of the few candidates that Daming can choose from now. It's just that his identity is a little sensitive, and the minister is worried that His Majesty will be difficult to do here. ”

Zhu Cihong knew what Lu Zhenfei was worried about, it was nothing more than the impeachment of the imperial historians.

These officials already looked at Zheng Chenggong unpleasantly, and after Zheng Zhilong's secret communication with Dongyu broke out, they chased and beat Zheng Chenggong fiercely, if it weren't for Zhu Cihong's support for Zheng Chenggong, maybe Zheng Chenggong would really collapse.
