Just arrived at Dasheng Pass, the water village has not yet been built, and the city is narrow, Chen Yue chose to meet with Zuo Maodi, the envoy of the imperial court to negotiate peace, on the largest four-masted Galen warship.

Zuo Maodi is out of Nanjing City in the evening, out of the city for a while the sky is almost dark, and then stay overnight on the riverside outside the city, only to set off upstream by boat, the big war is about to start, the original lively Nanjing outside the city is a depression, especially outside the southwest side of Nanjing, there is not even a pedestrian passenger boat.

If there is really a war, the soldiers will be in trouble, and the lives will be ruined, and I don't know how much disaster it will bring to the people, seeing this scene, Zuo Maodi has strengthened his determination to dissuade Chen Yue from attacking Nanjing.

Sailing upstream, Ren is sails are fully open, and the boatman rows desperately, and it only takes half a day to travel less than 20 miles, and then he sees hundreds of warships in front of him, almost covering the Yangtze River.

Several warships came quickly, interrogated the details, and after learning that it was an envoy sent by the imperial court, one warship rushed back to report the news, and several other ships carrying Zuo Maodi sailed back to Dasheng Pass.

Zuo Maodi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the huge fleet in front of him, hundreds of warships stretching for more than ten miles, and he couldn't see the end at a glance. The warship at the front had already sailed into the harbor, countless soldiers were camping, and the ships were sailing through the fleet, looking at the tall warships passing by, looking at the towering masts, and the sails hanging on the masts like clouds, Zuo Maodi was slightly dizzy.

At a glance, there were seven or eight such large ships entering the harbor alone, and I don't know how many came from behind. And when the ship approached Qi Guogong's ship, when Zuo Maodi climbed up the rope ladder to this tall battleship, he saw how huge this battleship was! It is two or three zhang high from the river, and it is not much different from the city wall. There is also a river master in the hands of the imperial court, led by Chang Yanling, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, but Zuo Maodi knows that compared with this ship, the boat of the river master is really the difference between a baby and an adult, I am afraid that if it is lightly touched by the giant ship under his feet, the warship of the river master will be scattered!

Finally climbed up the deck along the rope ladder, and Zuo Mao saw a young official in a red python robe standing on the deck at first glance, looking at himself with a smile on his face, it was Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi Guogong.

The reason why Chen Yue greeted him personally was not how important Zuo Maodi was, but that he admired Zuo Maodi's personality in another time and space. In another time and space, Zuo Maodi is an honest official, loves the people and cares for the people, not to mention that Chen Yue admires his national integrity.

The Qing army entered the customs to occupy Beijing, drink the Yellow River, and intended to go south, the Fuwang court favored the south of the Yangtze River, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Fuwang court dreamed of the southeast, the Fu King and Ma Shiying insisted on peace talks with the Manchu Qing, and no one dared to be this envoy in the Manchu Dynasty.

In Beijing, Zuo Maodi negotiated with the Manchus on behalf of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and always did not disgrace his mission without losing his integrity, but under the general trend, it was beyond the power of manpower to recover, and the determination of the Manchu Qing to destroy the Ming Dynasty was not something Zuo Maodi could stop.

Soon the Qing army moved south, and the court of King Fu perished. Zuo Maodi was imprisoned as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, admiring his ability and integrity, and the Manchu regent Dolgon sent people to persuade him to surrender many times, sending Zuo Maodi's cousin Zuo Maotai, who had surrendered to the Manchus, and even Hong Chengchou, who had been reused by Dolgon.

Zuo Maodi personally painted a portrait of Su Wu shepherd, hung it on the wall to encourage himself, denounced his cousin for disloyalty and injustice, and severed his brotherly relationship with him. As for Hong Chengchou, who came to persuade him to surrender, Zuo Maodi said: "This ghost is also. Inspector Hong died in Songshan, and the first emperor gave him nine altars, and he was reborn today? Hong Chengchou could only retreat in shame.

When persuasion failed, the Manchu Qing Dynasty tortured Zuo Maodi in a water prison, and then escorted him to the entrance of the vegetable market to be executed. Among the ministers at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you talk about integrity and loyalty, Zuo Maodi is not under Shi Kefa, and his personal ability is even higher than Shi Kefa.

Of course, all this happened in this life, Chongzhen had no intention of negotiating peace with the Manchus, and Zuo Maodi did not send an envoy to the north. Instead, he was appointed to the ministry first, and then became Guangluqing, and because of his personal talent, he was trusted and reused by Chongzhen, and in less than two years, he became a high-ranking official like the squire of the Ministry of War.

If a nation and a country want to be strong, they need such a person with integrity, and Chen Yue always admires such a person. That's why he didn't hesitate to greet him personally.

Seeing Chen Yue standing on the deck to greet him, Zuo Maodi was stunned for a moment, and he was faintly moved in his heart. Because with Chen Yue's status of today's merits, even if he sees the first assistant Shi Kefa, he doesn't need to take the initiative to salute. In the entire city of Nanjing, there is no one with a higher status than Chen. Although the titles of Zhu Guobi and others can be compared with Chen Yue, their merits are 108,000 miles behind.

After being moved, Zuo Maodi also had confidence in the success of the peace talks. Since Chen Yueshang can be a corporal of Lixian, it means that he has not lost his mind, and it means that he can talk about it.

After the two saluted, Chen Yue let Zuo Maodi into the official cabin in the middle of the deck, which was the largest cabin and was Chen Yue's command center.

In the cabin, a group of officers of the General Staff Department were busy, and the heralds were coming in and out, busy but orderly, nervous but organized.

"The conditions on the warship are simple, and there is no special meeting place, Lord Zuo forgive me." There was a table of eight immortals on the side of the cabin, Chen Yue stretched out his hand and asked Zuo Maodi to sit down at the table, waiting for the guards to bring tea, Chen Yue said with a smile.

Zuo Maodi looked at the busy and orderly officials, and then thought about the huge ship cannons he had just seen, as well as the elite soldiers with guns on the ship, although the whole port was busy but everything was orderly, it was not at all comparable to those old soldiers in Beijing, faintly looking like a strong army, that is, the army that Zuo Mao had seen in his first life was not so strong, and he couldn't help but praise, "The Duke of Qi has a good way of governing the army, and the lower officials are really breathtaking." ”

"Lord Zuo has an overreputation, Lord Zuo, you came on behalf of the imperial court, but you don't know what the imperial court wills?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.

"The will of the imperial court? Qi Guogong, are you still willing to listen to the will of the imperial court? Zuo Maodi restrained his smile and officially entered the negotiation state.

"Then it depends on which court it is, if it is His Majesty's court, this duke will naturally obey the order, if it is the court of the vassal king of Tang Wang Lu and others, but it has nothing to do with this duke!" Chen Yue sneered.

"In this way, Duke Qi Guogong, are you dissatisfied with the imperial court's election of a vassal king before you raise troops?" Zuo Maodi asked.

"Yes and no."

"How?"

"Your Majesty has no queen, so naturally you should set up a prince, but this world belongs to Your Majesty, and who is appointed as a prince should be decided by Your Majesty, and you have no right to meddle in the affairs of Yue Ling! Of course, you will say that Your Majesty has suffered a stroke and is in a coma and cannot speak, let alone who is the prince. But why did His Majesty suffer a stroke and fall into a coma, and why were the three princes killed? Is all this just a coincidence, or is there a traitor who has done such evil things?

You and other court officials did not want to find out the reason, but only cared about their own interests, and only cared about serving the new monarch and gaining support. Lord Zuo, I have heard that you are honest and love the people, and you are loyal to the king, but this prince asks you, when you actively participated in supporting the prince, did you ever think about the emperor who was killed and suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, but did you ever think about the three princes who were killed tragically? ”
