Chapter 827: Persuasion, Showdown
Wu Xiang had already calculated in his heart, and the next step was to take the lead in creating an atmosphere where King Nan had no intention of going down tomorrow.
It was the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who begged the King of the South to enter the Central Plains, and in the end, in order to be able to relieve the upside down of the people, the King of the South had to take over the mess of the Ming Dynasty and became the emperor.
The story is very shameless, but there are a few emperors in history who did not spare no effort to whitewash themselves, and even the Manchu emperor was ashamed to say that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" can be seen.
There is no need to doubt Wu Xiang's ability, he returned to the cruise ship and was immediately surrounded by a group of nobles, Liang Tingdong and Zhang Fengyi couldn't squeeze in if they wanted to ask about the situation, so they could only talk to Gao Zhimou and Zhou Yanru, and wanted to say something.
Gao Zhimou, the squire of the Ming Army, has long been in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he has repeatedly stated at the "God of War" department civil and military gatherings that if there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty, the hope lies in whether the King of the South will take over the Ming Dynasty.
He is still thinking of danger in times of peace, and bought a house on Hainan Island early, and now his old father Gao Di has been living in the Gao family's seaside villa in Yazhou, and most of the children and clansmen of the Gao family are engaged in business and politics in "Nanming".
Although Gao Zhimou is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, he understands that all this is obtained from Huang Sheng's military exploits, and he has a firm position and a clear banner to support the Southern King to take over the Ming Dynasty as the emperor.
In recent years, scholars in Nanzhili have gone to "Nanming" to seek jobs, many have embarked on official careers, and literati organizations such as Fushe and Yingshe have faded out of sight, and the influence of the Donglin Party has also lost its foundation.
This is not surprising, the main reason for the literati association is that there are too many scholars, too few can get official positions, everyone gets together to complain and vent their dissatisfaction, discuss how to send their own voice to the court, and over time a group is formed.
When the scholars were very busy, they were all studying for the "Nanming" civil service examination, and a large number of scholars got real official positions, and the collapse of the community was not far off.
Zhou Yanru is a native of Yixing, Nanzhili, one of the authentic Donglin party leaders, he has changed his course to serve Huang Sheng, this time high-profile leave to "New Hangzhou" to attend the wedding is a correct attitude.
In history, Zhou Yanru, Liang Tingdong, and Zhang Fengyi, the three elders of the Ming Pavilion and scholars, had been in Chongzhen for a long time in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and now they are jumping up and cheering for the enthronement of the Southern King, and their appeal is extraordinary.
The remnants of the Ming Dynasty on the cruise ship quickly reached a consensus, no matter how difficult it is, they must ask the King of the South to take over the Ming Dynasty and become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This is not surprising, most of the Ming Wenwu who took the initiative to take leave to attend the wedding were vested interests who cooperated with "Nanming", such as Huang Daozhou, Ni Yuanlu, etc., who disdained and flattered Nanwang.
Wu Xiang pulled down his old face and pierced the window paper, knowing that although the company closed down and changed the boss, it had little impact on him, and it was even possible to go further.
At this time, Huangjiawan Island was unprecedentedly lively, it was stranded in Tianjin, Denglai, and even the Ming Dynasty civil and military forces who came from Jinan, Linqing and other state capitals came here to wait for the king of the south, and the farthest came from Nanzhili and Huguang.
They all have a common purpose - persuasion, they all want to become ministers of Conglong, Zhang Zhiji is also in the crowd, he has never left the prince's side, and Cao Huachun, Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen, Shi Bangzhao, etc., accompany the prince all the time.
The most active persuaders were a group of villains headed by Wang Pu, Bai Guangen, and Tang Tong, who simply went into battle shirtless and did not want to be old at all, and fought with Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen and other Qingliu Zhengchen many times.
is often like this, the change of dynasty is almost always a villain's ambition, and most of the moral gentlemen are loyal to the country.
The leader of the big thing, knowing that he was the first to jump out to support the king of the south to take the Ming dynasty, and the Ming courtiers who supported the king of the south to ascend the throne and become the emperor are all some grass on the wall, and they can only use them.
Cheng Da made a special appointment with Zhang Zhiji for an interview, and put forward the grand plan of "Nanming" to annex the Ming Dynasty and establish a new Ming Empire.
He bluntly told Zhang Zhiji that he had now contacted hundreds of "Nanming" and Ming civil and military personnel, and everyone unanimously actively expressed their support for King Nan to become the new Son of Heaven of the Ming Empire.
Zhang Zhiji and Cheng Da are old acquaintances, not only have they worked together in Liaodong, but the two also have some personal relationships.
The matter has come to this point, even if Zhang Zhiji does not agree, what should he do, the king of the south has become the proud son of the sky, he Zhang Zhiji is the uncle of the dynasty, what reason does he have not to support his brother-in-law to ascend the throne?
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen has already driven the crane to the west, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong not only has the strength but also relies on the blessing of the "Southern Ming" to be able to gain a foothold, and be a loyal minister to protect the prince to ascend the throne, Zhang Zhiji thinks that it is difficult to go to the sky.
There is no possibility that the crown prince will succeed to the throne, but it is very likely that his life will be lost in vain, Zhang Zhiji thinks that as long as his brother-in-law treats the prince and the Zhu Ming clan well after ascending the throne, he can be regarded as worthy of Chongzhen's trust.
In Tianjin, Wei's Daming ministers only have some strength, and he still has less than 3,000 men and horses in his hands, and he can also take out hundreds of thousands of silver coins to recruit troops and buy horses for equipment.
It is not surprising that the British public has been involved in the investment of "Huaxia Development" for a long time, and it is still powerful in Daming over the years, and it has never left the family business, and it is naturally profitable.
Zhang Zhiji trusts his brother-in-law's ability to make money, and uses all the family's property to invest in the "Nanming" listed company, so Zhang Zhiji is definitely a rich man, Tianjin Wei has a "Huaxia Big Money Village" semicolon, Zhang Zhiji wants to call hundreds of thousands of fast silver coins as long as you make an appointment in advance.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiji belongs to the existence of a cow with money, food, and guns, and he has become a big thing and persuaded him with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, and the leading effect he has played cannot be underestimated.
After convincing Zhang Zhiji, Cheng Da went to Cao Huachun for a showdown, hoping that he would also support Nanwang as emperor.
Cao Huachun is not stupid, even the British duke who has money, food, soldiers and horses has expressed his support for King Nan's accession to the throne, does he have the capital to disagree?
People have made a big deal to save face and come to Zhang Zhiji to interview themselves, which is nothing more than taking a fancy to his identity as a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty and the most powerful minister around the emperor.
Cao Huachun thought about it, he and the concubine Hexiang of the king of the south are still cousins, and he has often spoken well for the king of the south in front of the emperor over the years, "Nanming" does not seem to have its own group of eunuchs, and most of the eunuchs on duty are from the Ming Dynasty.
In the future, the king of Nan, who will serve as the new emperor, should not be able to lose the position of the celebrant supervisor! Cao Huachun pretended to cry for a long time, and formed an alliance with Chengda after half pushing.
Next, the three of them began to lobby all the Ming civil and military forces who had escaped and had not yet made a stand, and with the attitude of the British Gongzhang Zhiji and the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the persuasive effect was immediate, and more people expressed their stance to join the ranks of the ministers of persuasion.
