Because it is in the war period, the ceremony of worshiping the filial piety tomb can not be too grand, many dispensable steps have been simplified, and the ceremonial guard temporarily made by the Tang King is also relatively simple, fortunately, the civil officials and military generals who participated in this ceremony are all big people, and they easily calmed the scene, Wang Kefan transferred a large group of Chu soldiers to stand guard, one by one the helmets were bright, and the military appearance was neat, which added a bit of solemn and solemn atmosphere to the ceremony.

On behalf of Emperor Longwu, Zhu Yuyao, the king of Tang, read out the congratulatory message.

This kind of occasion can not use the sacrificial text, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has ascended to heaven and become a god, there is no need for future generations to cry the memory of the heavens and the earth, his old man is cultivating in the heavenly court, and the descendants of the future generations can pray to him when they encounter any difficult things, please bless him, so you should use the blessing. (Roughly speaking, the sacrificial text is used for funerals, it is the exchange between people and ghosts, and the prayer is to worship the ancestors, it is the communication between people and gods. ）

When Tang King Zhu Yulu came to Nanjing, he brought a congratulatory text written by Emperor Longwu himself, but after the elimination of Jierharang, the shape of Jiangnan shì underwent a heavy change, and Emperor Longwu wrote a new congratulatory text, which was brought to Nanjing by Yang Tinglin...... Zhu Yuanzhang's life and deeds, it is not the turn of Emperor Longwu to evaluate, there is a difference of more than 200 years, and Zhu Yulu does not need to cry in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's spiritual seat, so the rules and regulations written in this blessing are orderly, flat and stable, and the main thing is about the affairs of the Longwu court.

There is no need to list all the trivial things, the main thing is the four words "resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the country". The danger of the destruction of the country has not yet been completely shaken off, the northern provinces have not yet been recovered, and there is a long way to go. The Longwu court would never learn from the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, after capturing Nanjing and other places. Soon a large army will be sent to swear to the Northern Expedition, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to bless him in the spirit of heaven and so on.

After listening to this greeting. Most people don't think so, in the eyes of many civil and military generals and gentry in Jiangnan, it is too radical to propose the Northern Expedition now, and there is a suspicion of reckless force...... We are not peaceful, we are steady, in case the Northern Expedition fails. What should I do if the imperial court loses troops and loses generals, and Jiangnan can't hold it?

The higher-level bigwigs, as well as those who have a more sensitive sense of smell in politics, but they heard a completely different meaning from this congratulatory text, and Emperor Longwu said clearly, Wang Kefan, you hurry up and get out of here, and quickly lead your troops to cross the river and the Northern Expedition, and you are not allowed to touch Zhejiang and Fujian.

This is a conspiracy to devour the wolf.

It is also a conspiracy to take advantage of the situation.

"Damn, I don't know who helped the emperor come up with this idea. Great! Jin Shenghuan secretly cursed in his heart, ashamed of himself. He has his own think tank under his command, and his staff Wu Zunzhou and others are full of wisdom, but compared with those scheming bigwigs in the Longwu Imperial Court. It's still obviously a little worse.

According to the analysis of Jin Shenghuan, Wu Zunzhou and others, after recovering the three provinces south of the Yangtze River, the Longwu court must give Wang Kefan a piece of land. The vicinity of Nanjing must be his, and the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou may not be able to be saved. All in all, in front of the mighty Chu army. The imperial court can only passively protect its own interests. But as soon as this greeting came out, the Longwu court set the strategic tone of the Northern Expedition, turned the passive into the active, and seized the commanding heights of the righteous name, the army should fight for the country, the Chu army is so capable of fighting, of course, it should actively participate in the Northern Expedition, in order to recover the Central Plains, if Wang Kefan is against the Northern Expedition and sends troops south to grab territory, he is a traitor like Dong Zhuo, the people's heart and the army's heart are lost, and it is not far from destruction.

The so-called yang conspiracy, the key is to build momentum, once the general trend of the situation is formed, the other party clearly knows that there is a pit in front of him, and he has to jump in, Emperor Longwu used this blessing to guide the people's hearts and public opinion, which is to build momentum.

How will Wang Kefan choose? Do you cross the river to the north, or occupy Nanjing, or retreat to Jiangxi in a fit of rage? Maybe...... One day in the future, it will be my old Jin to come to Nanzhili. Jin Shenghuan secretly figured out that if he was transferred to Wang Kefan's position, he would be in a dilemma, and most of them would pick and choose not to do anything and pull all the Chu troops back to Jiangxi...... Don't look at Yang Tinglin's joy now, wait until Dolgon leads the army south, see what you do!

Someone dismantles the stage, someone has to make up for it, the temptation of Jiangnan in the rich world is too great, Jin Shenghuan knows that this is a trip to troubled waters, and from time to time, he still can't help but want to kick in. There are also some generals who also have a certain strength, such as Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing, who have never had a fixed territory, although they are not as thick as Jin Shenghuan's waist, but they don't have so many scruples, and they are faintly a little tempted.

Zheng Chenggong stood behind Jin Shenghuan, ranked third in the martial arts queue, and Wan Yuan Ji stood behind Tang Laihe, which happened to be the third in the civil official queue...... Zheng Chenggong's roots are in Fujian, and he is of course interested in Zhejiang's territory, but the coastal areas in eastern Zhejiang are under the control of the Lu Wang regime, and he can't interfere for the time being, but there is a conflict of interest with Wan Yuanji, who is the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, and theoretically is the parent official of Zheng Jiajun.

As for the Nanzhili area near Nanjing, it is not very attractive to Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan has no foundation in Jiangxi, he can go, and pulling the troops to Nanjing can solve the problem of food and soldiers, and greatly enhance his strength, so he has been ready to move, but Zheng Chenggong's situation is completely different...... Zhengjia Group is a combination of pirates and maritime merchants, Zheng Chenggong represents the interests of Fujian Maritime Group, Fujian will always be in the first place, if you expand outward, the first choice is the coastal area of Guangdong, followed by the coastal area of eastern Zhejiang, and then you will consider the development of the inland. (Historically, Zheng Chenggong's attack on Nanjing was an outbreak after more than ten years of operation, and he had enough capital in his hands, and Zheng Chenggong in this book was still fledgling and was more interested in Fujian.) ）

Zheng Jiajun entered the inland from the mouth of the Yangtze River this time and went to the Nanjing area to participate in the war, in fact, it was also a helpless choice, his "marines" were not good at attacking cities, and the giant ships and artillery were the overlords of the sea. Unable to play to their advantages in land battles, they clearly occupy the home field. However, he got the least benefits in the Battle of Fujian, and simply retreated as an advance. He obeyed the orders of Emperor Longwu and came to Nanjing to participate in the war, and did not intend to stay here for long...... Zheng Jiajun participated in the war this time and dispatched hundreds of large and small warships, spending countless money and food, but in Fujian retreated step by step, in order to take into account the overall situation made too many sacrifices, it can be said that benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted, and they hope to return to Fujian as soon as possible.

But Nanjing has not yet been conquered, and the Zheng family sailor cannot leave for the time being, and must continue to stay here to prevent Tan Tai from escaping. Seeing other friendly forces from all walks of life grabbing territory everywhere, there were actually a lot of complaints inside, which made Zheng Chenggong very stressed...... Yes, he has just entered the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and most of his generals have been added to the rank of knight, but this is all an empty paper, with no substantive interests, and in the gluttonous feast of the Eastern Crusade, the Zheng Group has been working on a voluntary basis. Busy serving dishes and watching others eat and drink, if the Longwu Imperial Court does not give a certain amount of compensation, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.

Whether it is righteousness or personal feelings. He is worthy of both the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Longwu, but he is most sorry for his Zheng Group. It's time to think about the interests of the Zheng group, but Zheng Chenggong is also a big warlord himself. and the existence of the Longwu Imperial Court zài conflicted interests, and directly expressed the contradiction with Wan Yuanji. If Fujian's territory is not divided fairly, Zheng Chenggong will not hesitate to return to Xiamen, and he will not be the one who is wronged.

As a masterpiece of a generation, Zheng Chenggong's sense of smell is much higher than Jin Shenghuan's, and in Zhu Yuren's congratulatory article, some information that Jin Shenghuan ignored was keenly grasped...... Jin Shenghuan only noticed the keyword "Northern Expedition", but Zheng Chenggong noticed that there was another key word in front of him - "Nanjing", the premise of the Northern Expedition was to capture Nanjing, but there was no mention of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Fujian, in other words, the focus of the Eastern Expedition was to recover Nanjing, and then it was necessary to plot the Northern Expedition, but Fujian was ranked very backward, which was not good news for Zheng Chenggong, who was eager to return to Fujian.

Nanjing is not so easy to fight, if it is not beaten down for a day, the Zheng family sailor has to stay here and stand the pile for a day, and if it is not knocked down for a year, it is rare for the Zheng family sailor to stand on the pile for a year? It is said that after the Battle of Ningzhen, the Longwu Imperial Court was in full swing to recruit Tong Yangjia, in case Nanjing has not been defeated, but Fujian has finished sharing the cake, wouldn't he Zheng Chenggong be a good man in vain?

From this congratulatory article, Zheng Chenggong also strongly felt that the Longwu Imperial Court was very worried about the increasingly powerful Wuxun Group and spared no effort to suppress it. Obviously, Emperor Longwu wanted to use the opportunity of recovering the three provinces south of the Yangtze River to strengthen the centralization of power and contain the Chu army that was about to get out of control, and the Zheng group was likely to be affected by Chiyu and end up with nothing in the Eastern Crusade.

All in all, it is most beneficial for the Zheng Group to hit Fujian Tong Yangjia first.

Hit Zhejiang's Hetuo and Tian Xiong first, and Zheng's Group can also get a piece of the pie.

Solve the problem of King Lu first, and Zheng Chenggong is also happy to see it.

Only by attacking Nanjing first will not benefit Zheng Chenggong at all, and he has to contribute in vain, relying only on the empty lord of a national duke, which is far from making up for his losses.

Suddenly, Zheng Chenggong felt that Wan Yuan Ji and Yang Tinglin's faces were so hateful, and the ronin personality in his bones was surging, and he couldn't wait to cut these two guys with one sword. Emperor Longwu is a generous monarch who has always focused on the overall situation, and most of them were bewitched and coerced by these civil officials, so he was so unkind to Wuxun......

What about Wang Kefan? What means will Wang Kefan have to fight back?

In times of war, the army is the anchor of the sea to defend the country, and if it is left to the mercy of civilian officials, it will ruin the current good situation!

Zheng Chenggong has been looking at Wang Kefan from the side and rear, and he is quite anxious, if Wang Kefan chooses to retreat, under the general trend, the Zheng group can only retreat, most of the fruits of the victory of the Eastern Crusade will be stolen by the civilian group, Emperor Longwu and the civil officials united, strengthened the imperial power, and is also the biggest beneficiary, the loss is only the martial arts who fought bloody battles on the front line, and there will be a similar situation in the future, who will be the head of this injustice?

Since the worship ceremony began, Wang Kefan's expression has been very calm, so calm that people forget his real age.

After the victory of the Battle of Ningzhen, the political affairs of the Longwu Imperial Court will inevitably undergo heavy changes, which he has already considered, and he is most likely mentally prepared for the various measures taken by Emperor Longwu. In a sense, a country is a spinning top at high speed, only a spinning top with a uniform center of gravity can keep spinning, once the internal balance is broken, such as sticking a piece of plasticine on one side of the top, it will definitely not be able to spin.

The three provinces south of the Yangtze River are this piece of plasticine.

Wang Kefan originally planned to make certain concessions and stick this piece of plasticine on the top as evenly as possible to let it continue to rotate smoothly, but it was obvious that Emperor Longwu preferred the traditional political mode of the Ming Dynasty, and did not hesitate to flatten this spinning top and turn it into a scale that could not turn, but also resolutely maintained the imperial power.

In terms of specific political and struggle methods, Emperor Longwu's combination of punches is indeed very clever, Wang Kefan is busy with military affairs, and some methods have not been thought of in advance, such as the hype of the Northern Expedition in this greeting, which is beyond his expectations...... What are you kidding, after the elimination of Jierharang, the Chu army was almost disabled, the family foundation of the Longwu court was also hollowed out, and there were still three major Qing armies in the south of the Yangtze River, how could they have the strength to carry out the Northern Expedition? If you want to carry out the Northern Expedition, you have to rest and prepare for at least a year and a half, because it is impossible, Wang Kefan didn't think about it at all, but Emperor Longwu stared at him and sang a high note, that is, to use the name of righteousness to persecute the Chu army.

And Nanjing.

In this congratulatory text, he repeatedly emphasized the political significance of recovering Nanjing, pointed out the name of the Chu army and asked them to do their best to attack the city, to recover the capital for the Ming Dynasty, and to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit in the sky, and then spread the word that Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places will inevitably respond, and the Chu army will immediately send troops to the north, which can expel the Manchus from the customs and complete the great cause of recovering the country in one fell swoop.

Is that really the case? The Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the founding period, and there was still a lot of vitality inside, not the last dynasty of Chongzhen, which had gained a firm foothold in the north in recent years, and still had hundreds of thousands of warlike troops in their hands, relying on a piece of paper to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, it was just an unrealistic fantasy. Emperor Longwu repeatedly emphasized the importance of Nanjing, just to divert his attention, and used Nanjing, which can be called the first heroic city in the world, to firmly tie the Chu army, and even the Zheng family's sailors, and to seize Zhejiang and Fujian by himself.
