Chapter 728: Bad News for King Fu
What King Xianbei thinks, Mao Wenlong naturally understands, but he will never say it first. The trade thing is that King Xianbei has a request for himself, if Mao Wenlong goes to open this mouth first, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage, so it can't be Mao Wenlong who takes the initiative anyway.
King Xianbei obviously realized that he was wrong, and he talked so much nonsense, but he hadn't talked about it yet. Not daring to go on any longer, King Xianbei immediately said: "Previously, this king had entrusted Lord Hong to inform the general army that about the friendly trade between our two countries, I don't know how the general army considered it?" ”
Although Mao Wenlong couldn't take the initiative to speak, he didn't have any intention of embarrassing King Xianbei, he immediately chuckled: "There is nothing to worry about in this matter, as long as the king is willing, our two countries can trade freely in the future, and there is no problem at all." ”
These words are like a reassuring pill, and King Xianbei should be relieved. On the way here, he was still worried that Mao Wenlong would attach some conditions that would make it difficult for him, but he didn't expect to be so bold now, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Hahaha...... The general soldier is really refreshing. King Xianbei praised from the bottom of his heart.
Mao Wenlong smiled implicitly, and then said no more, he was in charge of major matters, and as for the trivial matters later, King Xianbei and Hong Chengchou would discuss the details, and he didn't have to ask too much at all.
The feast lasted until midnight, when everyone left in a festive atmosphere, and after the beating of the three drums, the imperial city had fallen silent in the night. Except for the guards and patrolling soldiers of the Imperial City, they have all fallen asleep.
The founding ceremony is imminent, and Hong Chengchou, the organizer, will naturally not only inform King Xianbei of the news. His purpose is to tell the world, show off the powerful muscles of the Dongjiang Army, and deter those who have been secretly peeking in the north. At the same time, it is also announcing the establishment of a new dynasty and the end of the old Ming dynasty.
Guda's transportation is not developed, and the speed of message transmission is often slow, so Hong Chengchou spread the news, and it took a full month, and only outside people knew about it later.
However, after learning of Mao Wenlong's founding of the country, the reactions of the major forces in the south today are mixed. The people who are worried are those who know Mao Wenlong better, and they all understand the strength and strength of the Dongjiang Army.
And those who are happy are naturally those who don't know about the Dongjiang Army and Mao Wenlong, and the war in the north for many years has not been affected in the south. These people, who don't know much about the situation in the north, all look down on Mao Wenlong.
In their opinion, this Mao Wenlong is no different from the Li Zicheng who went to ruin on the first day of the founding of the country! A temporary victory does not mean that there will be victory in the future, and in the era of war, the change of forces is a normal thing, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
If you don't have anything to do with yourself, you can hang it high, these southern forces all have the mentality of watching the excitement, and regard Mao Wenlong's founding as an after-dinner conversation.
However, after King Fu learned the news, he became depressed, as if he had aged by more than ten years overnight.
The bright moon hung high outside the window, but King Fu, who was supposed to sleep, did not feel sleepy at all, sitting alone on the windowsill, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and pouring a sip from time to time. His face was full of haggard and depressed looks, and he didn't know what kind of blow he had suffered, which led to him becoming like this.
"Mao Wenlong, you villain, hypocrite. Eat one's word...... Didn't you say that you wouldn't be emperor if you died? Then what do you mean by announcing the founding of the country and the establishment of a new dynasty now......" King Fu, who had a sad face, suddenly threw down the empty wine jug in his hand and cursed madly at the round moon.
Behind him, were his two loyal personal guards, and at this moment, seeing King Fu who was completely out of shape, the two of them walked face to face, and they didn't dare to say anything at all. However, King Fu didn't seem to have vented the anguish in his heart yet, and it didn't seem to be enough to talk to himself at the moon, he turned around suddenly, faced the two guards, and asked viciously: "You say, is Mao Wenlong a villain, a hypocrite, and a bastard who goes back on his word?" ”
The two guards yelled at King Fu like this, and they suddenly couldn't calm down, you know, two days ago, that Xu Fuzuo had already led a large army to support. At this moment, he lives in this city, if he or his eyeliner hears King Fu insulting Mao Wenlong like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The elder Huang Dayong was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he immediately took two steps forward to stop it: "King Fu is careful that the wall has ears, don't let the Dongjiang army hear it, we will be in a big disaster." ”
Huang Dayong's words were obviously very effective, and King Fu, who was still full of anger just now, immediately stopped, and did not dare to insult Mao Wenlong loudly again. But the anger on his face did not subside, and he lowered his voice to accuse him of dissatisfaction: "Mao Wenlong is a bastard, he told this king that he never had the idea of becoming an emperor." But how long has it been, but he suddenly announced the founding of the country, isn't this playing with the king? ”
King Fu would be so angry, of course, it had a lot to do with the secret calculation he had been secretly thinking in his heart. In King Fu's view, since Mao Wenlong had no intention of becoming an emperor, he was really helping Chongzhen rebuild the Ming Dynasty before. This convinced King Fu of this.
finally waited for Chongzhen to step down and turned against Mao Wenlong, and King Fu felt that he had a great chance of becoming emperor in the future. After all, Chongzhen's genuine card is gone, and only he, King Fu, can rightfully be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Who would have thought that Mao Wenlong actually changed his mind halfway, which made King Fu, who had always had high expectations, suddenly unable to accept this news of a thunderbolt on a sunny day. It is not surprising that the almost desperate Fu Wang has such a crazy performance at this moment.
Huang Dayong and He Lidong have always followed King Fu's side, and they are King Fu's most trusted henchmen at present. The two of them knew very well about the secret calculations in King Fu's heart, and seeing that the master they followed was about to ruin their good future, the two of them felt uncomfortable. After all, they are both prosperous now, and if King Fu has a case, they will not be happy.
The three of them were silent for a moment, He Lidong seemed to think of something, he hesitated for a while, and then plucked up the courage to say to King Fu: "Why don't we leave quietly now and go to Guangzhou to defect to General Gao and General Huang?" ”
"Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, they ......," Fu Wang muttered.
He Lidong plucked up the courage and said: "Yes, my subordinates heard from a fellow villager who had just returned from Guangzhou in the army a few days ago. Now General Gao has gained a firm foothold in Guangzhou, and they are also engaged in maritime trade with the Japanese Kou, and they are doing a good job. ”
"Is that true?" King Fu's mind suddenly became lively.
"The subordinates use the head as a guarantee, and there is no lie!" He Lidong resolutely promised.
