Everyone was preparing, brewing, like the hazy feeling of powerlessness when you wake up after a drunkenness, like the calm of a storm.

Zhang Qiang was inspecting his artillery factory, Zhu Yihai, but this King Lu was worried, facing the noise of dozens of civil and military officials in the hall, his heart was up, and he couldn't make up his mind.

The people sent to negotiate with Zhang Qiang came back and didn't get any clear answer, that is, the blind people had already figured it out, they worked so hard to recover the Ming Dynasty and fight with the Qing army, but the final winner was the Huaxia Army, this is not the orthodoxy of the Ming army, nor is it the small people who have the legal inheritance of the Ming Dynasty and don't know where to jump out.

This made the people who fell through the glasses and were dumbfounded, everyone knows the current situation, King Lu and Longwu Nanming are finished in the southeast.

He Lu Wang, Lu Jianguo is better, at least under the protection of the heavy army of the Huaxia Army, and has not been devastated by the Qing army, so he still retains a place in Hangzhou, to be precise, the city of Hangzhou Fufu, out of the city is only ten miles of land within a radius of territory, in this Hangzhou Fufu City or he Lu Wang has the final say, or Zhang Huangyan's cabinet assistant has the final say, but after ten miles out of the city, the villages are still towns, and the farther county seats, even the officials and officials have been replaced by officials sent by the Huaxia Army.

When going out of the city to do things outside, everyone has to deal with a visa agency called the Huaxia Army outside to handle the passes of Lu Wang Mingjun and the Huaxia Army, and those who do not have a pass cannot go to the territory of the Huaxia Army in Hangzhou, and the people on the territory of the Huaxia Army cannot go to the Hangzhou Government to do things, and even the villagers and merchants who enter the city have to handle it, otherwise those who break in will be killed directly, and those who break in secretly will be detained for three days if they are caught, and then they will be detained for three days if they are caught.

The two sides have been artificially isolated, just like two countries in normal exchange.

For Zhu Yihai, he has no ambitions, but also looks a little hopeful, with the support of others, he dares to confront the Qing army, and it is also with the strong support of Zhang Huangyan and others that he slowly eases up and fights against the Qing army for a long time, now, seeing that the Huaxia army is strong, King Lu doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, what should be cried is that people are not interested in themselves, look at the situation, this Huaxia army is another Li Zicheng, what should be laughed at is that people are not bad to themselves, and they are also very supportive, not as bad as Longwu, Not only did he not help, but he also took the opportunity to grab a lot of territory, and his power expanded from one province to three provinces or even three and a half provinces.

This force of his own didn't know where to go, and he had promised to help him take down Jinling Mansion and let them go to Jinling Mansion, but now people are unwilling.

"Lord Zhang, you go and talk to Zhang Qiang, the leader of the Huaxia Army, to see what he means, I originally said that it was good, and this king also promised to make him king after the matter is completed," Zhu Yihai suddenly said to Zhang Huang.

The Manchu Dynasty had a lot of righteous indignation, and they were discussing before, but they also stopped at this moment, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhang Huangyan.

Zhang Huangyan was also worried, and when he heard Zhu Yihai's words, he got up and said helplessly: "It's okay, I'll go and investigate as a minister."

Lu Zhenfei, the military general on the side, suddenly said: "Your Highness, if Zhang Ge Lao goes alone, he and Zhang Qiang will not have any relationship, but Zhang Qiang has a very good relationship with King Zheng Jun, and he has a similar situation with us, it is better to visit Zheng Chenggong first, King Zheng Jun, and the two of them will go to visit Zhang Qiang and see what he has to say." ”

Zhu Yihai's eyes lit up, yes, this is a good idea, the Huaxia Army still has a little bit of closeness to Zheng Chenggong in front of him, and with Zheng Chenggong's loyalty to the Ming Family, he may be able to help himself.

The relationship between Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong is not shallow, and the two have cooperated against the Qing army many times.

So in May, Zhang Qiang had just returned to Jinhua Mansion and rested in his governor's palace for two days, and Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan came to visit Zhang Qiang.

"Lord Zhang, King Zheng Jun, the two of you came to the Humble House, making the Humble House shine, come, come, please sit down, the guards serve tea."

Zhang Huangyan looked depressed, looking at Zhang Qiang's eyes unkindly, while Zheng Chenggong was smiling all over his face, looking very close.

After sitting down, Zhang Huangyan couldn't wait to ask.

"Zhang Qiangling, I don't know if it's reasonable for me to call you that?" These words have obviously separated Zhang Qiang from the various righteous military regions of the Ming army, and even no longer recognize Zhang Qiang as the Ming army, and regard Zhang Qiang as the leader of a friendly and rebellious army, or even some kind of bandit.

Zhang Qiang held the teacup, slowly and carefully pulled the tea leaves inside the teacup with the lid, blew the hot tea with his mouth, and smiled silently.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the faces of the two people, and then said calmly to Zhang Qiang: "Lord Governor, I don't know if it's right to call me that, it is said that you are the governor of Tang Wangfeng, or the governor of the two provinces, and you should also serve Tang Wang, but your approach is not like the practice of a courtier." ”

Zhang Qiang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I didn't think about recovering the Ming Dynasty, so let's tell you, well, I'm a straightforward person, and I'm not afraid of offending everyone, I have an agreement with Longwu."

I saved him, borrowed him a banner to recruit talents and generals, and now I am full-fledged, if it is Longwu, no, it is the Tang King who knows each other, I still help him, respect him, but he connived at the officials who impeached me in the court, this, I also endured it, and everyone broke up.

I want an official's family, he actually didn't give it, there was no affection, so decisive, I helped him so much, and gave him so much ground, he couldn't keep it, but blamed me? ”

Stopping to watch the two people listening attentively, Zhang Qiang continued: "I rescued the people, everyone broke up, I established the Huaxia Army, and it is no longer the Ming Army under his jurisdiction, so I am two equal individuals with him, and I am also Han, so I don't fight him, and he doesn't come to beat me, otherwise, I won't be easy to mess with." ”

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "You are still not a Ming person, this world is still not the emperor, where did you learn such crooked and evil truths?" ”

Zhang Qiang smiled: "I haven't gone to school, so I don't know what the truth is, I don't understand what you said,"

Zhang Huangyan covered his chest and pointed at Zhang Qiang angrily, "Diao Min." ”

Zheng Chenggong also had a gloomy face, although he had long seen Zhang Qiang's ambition, so he was guarding against him everywhere, but he didn't expect Zhang Qiang to speak like this today, subverting his impression of Zhang Qiang.

But as a great scholar who has been influenced by the ideology of loyalty and patriotism for a long time, just like the scholars of the Republic of China who were influenced by Western ideas in later generations, he wanted to change something when he came back, and he was also a fist and a child's heart for the country, but the long-term feudal poison, what the experts said, made them do things crookedly again, and finally became warlords, or people who revolutionized for the sake of revolution and just wanted to put themselves on the throne.

However, he is still a good Ming man, and it was the last Qing army that was strong, and he had to find a place where he and his subordinates could live and develop in peace before retreating to Treasure Island.

"So Governor Zhang doesn't want to be kind to King Tang and King Lu? If you want to kick them out of the way, you are not afraid of the shame of the world? ”
