After Ma Shiying said this, there was a sudden uproar in the court, and those courtiers who were talking about each other suddenly buzzed like flies.

"Don't make any noise! Shut up, all of you! Zhu Yousong looked irritable, and he shouted angrily, which made the entire vegetable market-like court suddenly quiet.

"Ma Yaocao, your plan is very interesting, you can tell Gu in detail." Zhu Yousong grinned and showed Ma Shiying an encouraging smile.

Ma Shiying nodded, and said to Zhu Yousong: "Prison country, now, in the territory of my Ming Dynasty, there is the Qing Kingdom of Tartars in Liaodong, the Dashun Kingdom of Liukou in the north, and the Great Western Kingdom of Zhang Xianzhong in the west. These three kingdoms are all our original enemies and rebels of the Ming Dynasty, but now, we want to make a formal statement to them, we can ignore everything in the past, and officially recognize their land and status. “

Seeing Zhu Yousong's face change suddenly, Ma Shiying didn't wait for him to speak, so he hurriedly said: "Weichen thinks that now we have to send envoys to Shenyang, the capital of the Tatar Qing Dynasty, Beijing, the capital of Li Zicheng's army, and Chengdu, the capital of Zhang Xianzhong's department, to tell them that now I, the Ming Dynasty, am willing to give up my past suspicions with him, and I will no longer pursue their previous festivals and crimes, and they will occupy the land of my Ming Dynasty, and they will no longer seek it back, but can officially recognize it as the respective territories of their three countries. Then we were willing to make this a precondition for signing a treaty of alliance and mutual assistance with them. ”

Ma Shiying paused, and said hurriedly: "I have made such a big sacrifice, and I did not hesitate to put down my face and dignity to reach an alliance agreement with them, but I just asked for one thing, that is, let them immediately send troops to fight the arrogant Li Xiao together." We can also promise them that if they can do their best to strike at Li Xiao and make him have to retreat from the area south of our Yangtze River and return to Shandong, then our dynasty will give them rich gifts and gifts, so as to further strengthen the friendship of the alliance and strengthen the foundation of diplomatic relations. “

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Yousong on the dragon chair with burning eyes, but saw that Zhu Yousong's face was ruthless, he kept bowing his head slightly, and his right hand kept twisting his beard.

At this time, Ruan Dacheng on the side couldn't hold his breath, and he asked Ma Shiying in a questioning tone: "Elder Ma Ge, although you are suspected of betraying the country with such a statement, but now that the enemy is now, I don't care much about you. It's just that I really want to ask you, why do you think that if we make such a concession, the Tartars and the rogues will definitely send troops to help us, this is too wishful thinking, right? “

"The right squire asked why the Pavilion would think that they would send troops. The reason is very simple, because by saving us, we are actually saving themselves. Ma Shiying said with burning eyes.

"Oh, what do you mean by this, can you say it in detail?" Ruan Dacheng asked with wide eyes.

"The meaning of this pavilion is very simple, because for them, the biggest threat, like ours, is the arrogant and domineering Li Xiao. As long as Li Xiao's Tang army is still like this, and it is still growing like this, then for these three kingdoms, it is also a big trouble for them, and it is also a sword hanging high above their heads, making it difficult for them to sleep for a moment. It is precisely because of the existence of this common and powerful enemy that the four countries can unite and help each other to form an alliance. Ma Shiying said with a serious face.

"Besides, for them now, if they sit back and watch our dynasty fall, then Li Xiao's power will only expand and grow stronger, and even become so strong that no one can control it anymore. This is tantamount to extremely terrible bad news for the other three countries. There is a saying that even if they are only out of their own safety considerations, they will know that at such a time when our dynasty is in such a crisis, they urgently sent troops to attack Li Xiao, not only to relieve the pressure on our dynasty, but also to buy more and longer survival time for themselves. ”

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, there was silence in the court.

In the eyes of the courtiers, although Ma Shiying's words were many rebellious, the content of the words was also very sensitive. It's just that they also know in their hearts that Ma Shiying's words still have a certain amount of truth. But such words are extremely inappropriate for oneself to express oneself.

Because, if you make a written promise to generously give away the lost land in the Ming Dynasty to those Tartars and Rogues, who knows that in the future, the political atmosphere will be turned upside down, will the person sitting on the dragon chair be severely held accountable for today's statement? Therefore, out of the consideration of self-preservation, every courtier pretended to be silent with a deep face.

Ma Shiying saw that the court was quiet for a while, and all the ministers were silent, of course he knew what such courtiers were thinking in their hearts, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly.

Sending you to death, becoming an official and I coming, nothing can be more important than your own political future. Since Ma Shiying is willing to be this budding bird and this budding rafter, let him go, anyway, he just needs to choose a clean place to stand and not wade into this troubled water.

This is the most true attitude and opinion of these courtiers.

Thinking that he was so hard to think about countermeasures, so trying his best to reverse the unfavorable situation of the war, but the ministers of the court and the central government were so indifferent and self-preservation, Ma Shiying's heart was very cold, he sighed lightly, and put his eyes like asking for help to Zhu Yousong, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Now, Ma Shiying pinned all her hopes on Zhu Yousong.

Because he knew that the courtiers could stay out of the matter, but as the head of the government, Hongguang Jianguo would never be able to ignore the matter.

Even to put it more bluntly, that is, all the ministers in the court can bow to Li Xiao or scatter and escape, but only this prisoner Zhu Yousong cannot surrender or escape, but Li Xiao must not let go easily, so in this matter related to the life and death of the Hongguang Dynasty, he must make a decision immediately.

Sure enough, Zhu Yousong was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh and said to Ma Shiying in a low voice: "Alas, the situation is now, and it can only be like this, and it is an expedient measure." After all, survival and death continue to be the most important thing for the lonely prison country. Ancestors and ancestors, I hope that your spirits in heaven can understand the last resort intentions of this prison country. ”

Zhu Yousong gathered his expression and said loudly to Ma Shiying: "Elder Ma Ge, this matter of forming an alliance with the other three countries to fight against Li Xiao is also your sole responsibility, and the envoys you send can be the plenipotentiary representatives of the imperial court. As long as we can reach an alliance agreement with them, and let these three countries immediately send troops to share the worries of our dynasty, then in the future, Li Xiao's troops will retreat, and Lone, as you said, will not hesitate to reward them with another heavy reward. ”

"Wechen obeys the orders of the prison country." Ma Shiqu's heart fell to the ground, his face was greatly relaxed, and he immediately kowtowed to Hongguang Jianguo.

At this point, the matter of moving the capital and forming an alliance has been agreed, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Ma Shiying immediately sent his personal eunuch to Fuzhou, where Zheng Zhilong was located, and asked him to quickly send troops to escort Hongguang Jianguo to the east and move the capital to Hangzhou.

At the same time, he immediately sent envoys separately, immediately to the Qing court, Li Zicheng's department, and Zhang Xianzhong's department, asking for an alliance and sending troops.

At this point, the Tang army continued to train troops on the other side of the river, waiting for the arrival of the naval division, and the atmosphere was noisy and busy.

The Hongguang Imperial Court, on the other hand, urgently packed the important treasures and documents of the court and the central government one after another, so that they could escape quickly when the time came. In addition to urgently packing up the gold and silver, these officials of the court and the central government also began to urgently sell off their real estate in Nanjing, in order to prepare for the arrival of Zheng Zhilong's ministry without regrets.

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.

Coincidentally, when the Tang Army's naval divisions all arrived on the other side of the Yangtze River outside Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong sent his general, Zheng Hongkui, who was then the general of Fuzhou, to rush to Nanjing with thousands of soldiers.

At this time, all the defenders of Nanjing City could see from afar from the city wall by the river that there were nearly 100 tall and mighty battleships of the Tang Army, which were already covered over the entire river like a carp crossing the river, and the momentum was very majestic and terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that almost all the residents of Nanjing City can see that those warships are lined up along the bank of the Yangtze River, and the rows of portholes are opened, revealing a huge cannon muzzle with a black hole, and they are aiming at the location of the Liudu of Nanjing.

At this time, Hongguang Jianguo stood at the highest point of the palace tower, and he clearly saw from the clairvoyant mirror that the muzzles of the cannons that were slowly raising seemed to be aiming at the position of the palace together, and his fat face was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

Next to him, there was Liu Kongzhao, who was also terrified, and without a clairvoyant mirror, he could clearly see that the Tang Army's huge boats, like floating clouds covering the sky, were slowly lined up by the river outside the city, and his legs were trembling incessantly.

"Can't wait! Can't wait! Hongguang threw down the clairvoyant mirror, staggered down the tower and ran away: "The Tang army is about to start shelling Nanjing, you can't sit here and wait for death, please quickly order the palace guards to protect Gu and go out of the city." ”

"Yes, yes......" Liu Kongzhao, who was also sweating profusely, hurriedly agreed, and immediately said; Wechen went to organize the evacuation, and at the same time, he also asked the prison state to give an order as soon as possible to let the remaining defenders in the city retreat together, and let them escort the prison country to withdraw together. ”

"Well, that's it."

After the two monarchs and ministers hurriedly returned to the palace, before they could give the order, the first assistant Ma Shiying and a heroic general quickly ran in from outside the palace with a sweaty face.

"Prison Country! Prison Country! Good news, good news! Zheng Zhilong, Marquis of Nanning, has sent Zheng Hongkui, the chief soldier of Fuzhou, to lead 3,000 elites to the outside of Nanjing, and is about to escort the prison country to leave immediately. Well, this is Lord Zheng Hongkui. Ma Shiying wiped the sweat on his face and hurriedly introduced to Zhu Yousong

When Hongguang Jianguo heard this, he was overjoyed, and the fat all over his body trembled with joy.

"Great! That's great! Grandma's, Hongkui, you finally came in time, really blessed by the ancestors and ancestors, fortunately, fortunately! Otherwise, if it is one step later, Lone Zai will really be afraid that it will be difficult to escape the clutches of the Tang Army. ”

Zhu Yousong's eyes lit up, and he walked towards Zheng Hongkui with great joy, he was so excited at this moment, his fat face was shiny, and he kept rubbing his hands. If he is not wearing a dragon robe now, then whether it is conversation or temperament, he is almost the same as an ordinary landlord and old wealth.

Seeing this fat Hongguang Jianguo, who was as fat as a pig, had an ugly temperament and vulgar speech, and was so out of shape in front of himself, all Zheng Hongkui's beautiful imagination of the emperor was instantly shattered. In its place, there was a heartfelt contempt and ridicule.

Such a fearful and incompetent person can also be a prisoner of the country, alas, this Ming Dynasty, is it really exhausted......

Fortunately, he cultivated well, and he didn't show the true state of mind in his heart, but just smiled faintly, and said to Zhu Yousong: "The prison country is just like this." In the end, he came here on the order of the Marquis of Nan'an, and made a special trip to welcome the prison country into Fujian and move the capital to Fuzhou, so that he could be stable for a long time. He also asked the prison to pack up immediately and leave as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Zheng Hongkui's words, the smile on Zhu Yousong's face suddenly froze.

Ma Shiying and Liu Kongzhao, who were originally grinning with joy next to them, were also stunned for a while.

Isn't it, didn't you tell Zheng Zhilong that you would go to Hangzhou? Why do you want the imperial court to move to Fuzhou now? This, this......

Seeing that the three of them were stunned for a while, Zheng Hongkui smiled faintly and replied calmly: "Prison State, two adults, the reason why Nan'an Hou sent the last general to escort the courtiers to Fuzhou urgently, instead of Hangzhou, where the prison country is going, is really out of last resort. ”

"Oh, what's the consideration?" Zhu Yousong subconsciously replied.

Nan Anhou said to Zai Xia that Hangzhou is very close to Nanjing, and as a place to move the capital, it is not safe. If the Tang army can take Nanjing, then it will cover the eastward march and take Hangzhou directly, and the main force of the soldiers and horses of Nan'anhou is all in Fujian and Zhejiang, and there are not many soldiers and horses available, so Hangzhou is bound to be difficult to preserve. Isn't this a joke? ”

Zheng Hongkui paused, and said: "Nan'an Hou is worried about this, and the general thinks it is very reasonable. If the prison country can urgently leave from Nanjing, go to the southeast, and move the capital to Fuzhou, then Nan'an Hou has a heavy army to guard, and he should be able to protect the holy car. From Zhejiang to Fujian, there is only a dangerous path to enter Xianxia Pass, and our army's soldiers and horses only need to hold this place to block the Tang army from entering Fujian, so as to maintain sufficient respite and rest time for the imperial court. At that time, when the time is ripe, when the logistics of the Tang Army will not continue to be exhausted by the division's veterans, and then Nan'anhou will mobilize troops and horses to recapture Jiangnan, which will definitely have a lot to do.

After Zheng Hongkui finished speaking, he looked around at the three of them with a smile on his face, with a calm and calm appearance.

However, after he finished speaking, Zhu Yousong, Ma Shiying, and Liu Kongzhao were still gloomy.

Hmph, saying so many high-sounding reasons, in fact, Zheng Zhilong values only one thing.

That is, if Hongguang Jian Guo Zhu moves the capital to Fuzhou, then he will completely become a puppet under Zheng Zhilong, who can be manipulated at will, and he will be completely played with in the palm of his hand, and he will no longer have any worries.

Getting a puppet emperor in this way for nothing is really a pie-in-the-sky good thing for Zheng Zhilong.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Zheng Hongkui was impatient, and he asked with a cold face: "How about it, Jianguo, two adults, are you resistant in your hearts and unwilling to move the capital to Fuzhou?" “
