Chapter 432, The Prison State (2)
Although Zhu Yousong mustered up the courage to go to the north, he did not have the courage to leave Jinghai Harbor and follow Zheng Sen's army to face the guy who killed his father, and even he did not want to see Zheng Sen take most of the army out of Jinghai. In his opinion, the city wall of Jinghai Harbor was not strong enough (the fortress of Jinghai is a typical fortress, in order to ensure the ability to resist artillery bombardment and avoid the overall collapse of the vertical city wall under shelling, it is usually built relatively thick and short, and the slope is obvious, so in the opinion of Zhu Yousong, who does not know how to do it, this kind of fortress is far less majestic and strong than the city wall in Luoyang. The number of defenders was small (Zheng Sen left a garrison of a little more than 1,000 men in Jinghai, and a model army of this size, with a fortress and the support of sea forces, was actually enough to withstand the attack of more than ten times the number of troops. In case of an attack by a rogue, it is simply too dangerous. Fortunately, there were still ships in the port, and these ships gave Zhu Yousong the courage to continue to stay in such a place close to the enemy.
On the dock side of Jinghai, the Zheng family built a lighthouse, which is a seven-story lighthouse, and it was built on a high ground by the dock, which became the highest place in the vicinity, and the lookout post of the model army stationed in Jinghai was naturally arranged here. On the top floor of the lighthouse, there is a large telescope, and the diameter of the objective lens of this telescope is as thick as a sea bowl, and the distance that can be seen clearly is naturally farther than that of ordinary telescopes.
Since Zheng Sen left Jinghai with his army, Zhu Yousong has become very interested in the telescope on the lighthouse, and during the day, he spends almost half of his time here. In addition to climbing the lighthouse and looking far away with a telescope, His Royal Highness also fell in love with the sport of fishing, so he basically stayed on the pier to fish for half of the time. Moreover, because of his love for these two activities, His Royal Highness Fu Wang even gave up a more comfortable and luxurious residence and chose a courtyard closer to the sea. However, the attendants who are familiar with this prince know that the greater reason why His Royal Highness King Fu did this is probably because he thinks that if something happens, it is just convenient to get on the ship first.
However, today, His Royal Highness King Fu has lost interest in these two kinds of entertainment, because he has just received the good news sent back from the front, and the good news says that the Ming official army broke the Liukou, killed thousands of Liukou, and captured tens of thousands of Liukou (Li Zicheng ran fast, and almost all the auxiliary soldiers were left behind. These auxiliaries all became prisoners of the model army. )。 Now the army is preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue in order to recover the Beijing Division.
This good news naturally made King Fu happy, but he was not happy for long, because there was also a piece of information sent along with this good news.
"What? They actually elected King Lu to supervise the country? King Lu, what qualifications does King Lu have to supervise the country? 'Lixian'? Where is King Lu 'virtuous'? What else would he do besides playing the piano? At the beginning, they kept saying 'ancestral system' and 'etiquette', but now they are talking about 'Lixian'! I've never seen anyone so brazen! They...... They want me dead! You want me to die! Zhu Yousong's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and came out of his teeth. Back then, the people of the Donglin Party called on each other to maintain the ancestral system and etiquette, and engaged in a fight for the country, which ruined the possibility of his father becoming the emperor; Now, according to the etiquette law, the position of the Son of Heaven should have been their own, but these guys have thrown away the "ancestral system" and "etiquette" they maintained back then, and instead picked up the "Lixian" theory of the guy who was accused of being a "traitor" by them, and played a double standard, insisting on pushing a King Lu who was much farther from Chongzhen's Son of Heaven to the throne of the Son of Heaven. Zhu Yousong was not particularly interested in the position of the emperor, as far as he was concerned, he might even feel that if he could be a prince of peace, he might be more comfortable than being an emperor. However, although he has been portrayed as a perverted fool in later history books, as the eldest son of a vassal king, he is still educated, and naturally knows what will happen to those who threaten the throne in history. If King Lu really ascends to the throne in the future, if someone has any ideas, he will definitely use his name, because in terms of etiquette, he is the one who should be the emperor. Therefore, as long as he is alive, even if he really doesn't do anything, it is a threat to King Lu's throne, and King Lu will also do something to him in order to keep his throne. This is not subject to his will, as evidenced by the last assassination.
"Your Highness, the Major General and General Wu have not had time to come back for a while because of the urgent military situation. However, both generals thought that Nanking's order was a disorderly order, and they would never obey it. The two generals suggested that now that the official documents from Nanjing had not been sent anyway, His Highness should pretend not to know about this matter, and immediately take the position of supervising the country, and then send a document to Nanjing about the good news of our army's great thief army and the matter of His Royal Highness's supervision of the country, ordering them to immediately mobilize materials to support our army in recovering Beijing. ”
"That's ...... Is that okay? Although he knew that he couldn't retreat anymore, and he would die without a place to be buried as soon as he retreated, Zhu Yousong still habitually coaxed him.
"Your Highness!" Kong Zhang bowed down and said, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has a Jianqi outside, there are rogues inside, the Son of Heaven is martyred, and Shenjing is covered with dust, it is really dangerous, and I really can't afford to have any changes!" Among the kings now, only the great king is the closest to the Son of Heaven. And when the king is in danger, he supervises the teacher and is directly subordinate, and he breaks the rogue and makes a contribution to the country! If the king is in charge of the country, who in the world can disobey? If the king refuses to supervise the country, so that King Lu will supervise the country, where will the kings of the world be convinced, I am afraid that they will jump out and claim to be the prison country, and even set themselves up as emperors. In this way, my Ming dynasty is in danger! The temple of the ancestors of the past dynasties is not guaranteed! At that time, the king is dead, will he still have the face to see the emperors of the past dynasties underground? King, please think about the Ming Sheji, for the sake of the temples of the previous emperors, and immediately supervise the position of the country! In this way, I have a chance to ZTE! ”
Speaking of this, Kong Zhang's eyes were all open, looking directly at King Fu, but he really looked like a loyal minister.
When the other people next to him heard this, they also knelt down together and said: "Please ask the king to be the society of the world, for the temple of the ancestors of the previous dynasties, and to supervise the position of the country early!" ”
"The lonely king is thin...... Besides, what if Nanjing doesn't obey the order? Zhu Yousong asked again.
"When the king is in danger, the superintendent removes the thief, the king is weak, who is virtuous in the world? The king is the closest to the first emperor, and he has meritorious service to the country. And now the restoration of Shenjing is just around the corner. The king's deeds are the hope of the world. Who would dare not obey orders? If he doesn't obey orders, he is a rebel and a thief, who dares to open his eyes for him? When the king arrives, he will attack the place of his relatives with the obedience of the world. Are you still afraid that there will be unsuccessful ones? Kong Zhang replied loudly, "In the hands of Zheng Shuai, the chief soldier of Fujian, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers, as long as the king gives an order, he can drive forward for the king!" ”
When Zhu Yousong heard this, his face changed for a while, he sighed again, and gritted his teeth. After a while, he suddenly said: "Lone is also a descendant of Taizu, where can I watch the fall of the Ming Dynasty?" The decision has been made, and he will be in charge of the country immediately! I also hope that Zheng Shuai, Young Marshal, and Wu Shuai will fulfill their duties for the country and recover Shenjing as soon as possible! ”
