Chongzhen quietly sent someone to send a jade seal to Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong also thought twice about this, until now he took it out and told Hong Chengchou, he couldn't figure out what Chongzhen meant?

Why did you face Hong Chengchou? Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled: "This is also something I want to know?" ”

Hong Chengchou carefully took the jade seal from Mao Wenlong's hand, and after careful inspection, he found that it was not a fake. He pondered for a moment and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, could it be the emperor and his ......?"

Mao Wenlong comprehended: "I also guess so, it seems that Chongzhen has now given up the throne." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Indeed, otherwise the jade seal would not be sent directly to the hands of the general soldiers." ”

The two fell silent, Hong Chengchou's heart was turbulent, he had already realized the consequences of Chongzhen's doing. That is Mao Wenlong, who is the justifiable Emperor of the Ming Dynasty since then, and I have the jade seal in the world.

If those vassal kings still dare to make trouble, it will really be a rebellion, and the Dongjiang Army is now the official army of the Ming Empire.

"Chief soldier, then we are not ...... after that" Hong Chengchou suddenly exclaimed.

"Hahaha...... Yes, now we have no worries at all. Mao Wenlong laughed.

After that, without any delay, he immediately ordered the entire army in the south to recover Jiangxi. As for the rest of Fujian, it will be very easy to do, and it all depends on Zhu Yihai's choice.

The holy decree covered with the jade seal of the Ming Dynasty was soon sent to the hands of the generals, and the troops and horses were dispatched, and the army went to Jiangxi. As Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou expected, those vassal kings didn't dare to make another time, and when they saw the Ming Jade Seal, they fled and were caught. The Dongjiang Army barely met decent resistance and easily regained Jiangxi.

And Zhu Yihai, who is far away in Fujian, is already decadent at the moment. He held the holy decree that had just been delivered in his hand, and looked at the dazzling seal, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years.

The two brothers, Qing Huaiwu and Qing Huaishan, who were confidants, didn't know what to do, and there was silence in the silent room, only the sound of heavy breathing was heard.

The dull atmosphere was very depressing, Qing Huaiwu didn't seem to be able to stand such an atmosphere, he hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage, stepped forward, and bowed to Zhu Yihai: "Lord Wang, now the situation is very clear, do you see if we are implementing the plan agreed before?" ”

When Zhu Yihai heard this, he looked up at Qing Huaiwu blankly, he was really unwilling to wipe out his ambition like this. After all, he has paid too much for this, and seeing that hope is in front of him, but now he has given him a blow to the head, how can it not make him heartache.

No matter how big the ambition is, when faced with reality, anyone can only accept it. If you can't change the bad environment, you can only change yourself to adapt, this is the way to survive, and it is also an important reason why Zhu Yihai can survive to the end.

The inner struggle did not last long, if there was no seal, Zhu Yihai might still be able to hold on to hope. But now Chongzhen actually gave all the Daming jade seals to Mao Wenlong, which is enough to prove that he chose the Dongjiang Army and Mao Wenlong.

"Alas, time is not waiting for me!" After a long time, Zhu Yihai sighed lightly.

Qing Huaiwu's eyelids jumped twice, and he asked cautiously: "Then the prince, are we ......?"

Without waiting for Qing Huaiwu to finish speaking, Zhu Yihai raised his hand to stop him: "Don't worry about it, this king is not so confused that he runs counter to the general trend." Everything will be carried out according to the original plan, only one thing you need to pay attention to, try to try to try to keep us on the Fujian side, everything else can be compromised, only this point you must not compromise. ”

Qing Huaiwu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and promised: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, even if his subordinates lose this life, they will not retreat half a step." ”

Zhu Yihai was very satisfied, he nodded and said, "Go, since you have chosen to surrender, then don't ink." ”

Qing Huaiwu bowed respectfully to Zhu Yihai, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left. Early the next morning, Qing Huaiwu rushed to the capital of Guangdong with only a hundred guards, where to take a boat to Nanjing, and then rushed all the way to Xi'an.

After running around the clock, Qinghuai Wutrek finally arrived in Xi'an on the morning of the 12th day. One hundred guards were stranded outside the Imperial City, and only two guards entered the Imperial City with him.

When Mao Wenlong learned of Qing Huaiwu's arrival, he already understood Zhu Yihai's choice, he was very generous, and directly met Qing Huaiwu in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

Hong Chengchou accompanied him, and his old face was full of smiles: "Chief soldier, it seems that the unification of the Ming Dynasty has been completed." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at him and said in a dark voice: "Although Zhu Yihai took the initiative to surrender, he must have some conditions, and he will not give up everything in vain." What conditions do you think he will put on us? ”

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "If it is not bad as expected, the prince should still stay in Fujian." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded understandingly: "Mr. and I have the same idea, so do you think Mr. should agree to this condition?" ”

Hong Chengchou didn't think about it this time, shook his head and smiled: "No, Fujian is the base camp of the prince, and it is deeply popular, once he is allowed to stay there, it will inevitably be a hidden danger in the future." ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "You and I both want to go together, then wait and see what this Qing Huaiwu says." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded lightly, and then said no more, only to hear the sound of footsteps in the garden, and the two palace guards led Qing Huaiwu towards the pavilion.

Qing Huaiwu didn't dare to make a mistake, and his figure was very low, as soon as he entered the pavilion, he bowed to Mao Wenlong: "Qing Huaiwu knocked to see the chief soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong showed a kind smile and said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to be polite, come, please take a seat." ”

In the face of Mao Wenlong's courtesy, Qing Huaiwu only hesitated for a moment, and then generously accepted Mao Wenlong's kindness. After sitting down, he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so Qing Huaiwu said again: "Chief soldier, this time, the last general is entrusted by the prince to come and discuss the matter of surrender with the general soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong was not hypocritical, nodded and said: "What does the prince need, as long as he can accept it, this general soldier is not a person who does not miss the old love." ”

In the final analysis, Zhu Yihai still had a good friendship with Mao Wenlong, and the two even joined forces. Mao Wenlong still remembered this kindness and did not forget it.

It's just that having said that, when it comes to vital interests, whatever feelings and old feelings have to stand aside.

Qing Huaiwu is naturally not a three-year-old child, he was not confused by Mao Wenlong's polite words. Still cautiously said: "The last general thanked the general for the first prince. ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't say much politely, what does the prince need, the general can say it now." ”
