Chapter 733: Negotiation
ο»Ώ
Whether it is in this time and space or in real history, Zheng Hongkui or Zheng Zhifeng is a shrewd person, .cc [Marshmallow]
After the Qing soldiers went south to capture Nanjing and destroyed the Southern Ming, Zheng Hongkui retreated to Fujian, where he met Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, in Hangzhou and returned to Fujian together
γ Zheng Hongkui planned to succeed him as Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty with Zhu Yujian, and many ministers believed that the Qing army should be defeated first and then consider the matter of ascending to the throne; Zheng Hongkui said that if he did not hurry up to the throne, someone else would be the emperor first. Zhu Yujian was thus proclaimed emperor, also known as Emperor Longwu.
Judging from this matter alone, this person has vision and means, and he is indeed a character.
Later, in November of the second year of Longwu, in view of the large Qing army and the Ming Dynasty had no power to return to heaven, Zheng Zhilong was ready to learn from the old things of his two recruits, and was ready to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and engage in political speculation. After analyzing the situation, Zheng Hongkui admonished that this time is different from the past. In the past, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to accept our recruitment was because the country was rotten, and the imperial court did not have the financial and manpower to control the localities and exterminate the peasant armies in various places. But now, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the national strength is flourishing, and there is a desire to dominate the world, so naturally there is no room for the existence of a separatist force in the country. Therefore, if our Zheng family surrenders to the Qing soldiers this time, it is not good that they will lift a stone and hit themselves in the foot, but they will trap you in it.
Zheng Zhilong did not accept it, Zheng Hongkui was also courageous, brazenly led his troops to Kinmen, and quietly took Zheng Chenggong over to prevent the future heir of the Zheng family from falling into the hands of the enemy.
In this way, there was a situation in which the king of Yanping later took the whole of Taiwan and had a long-term confrontation with the Qing Dynasty.
But in this case, this man is indeed a masterpiece.
In contrast, Zheng Chenggong looks ordinary. Although he, like all the Zheng family, was born very strong, he was really dignified. However, Zheng Chenggong at this time was very elegant, and he was simply a scholar. He sat there, barely talking, just kept looking at Sun Yuan curiously with his eyes, how to say it in his eyes, with a hint of admiration.
This appearance is a young talent, and he does not have the appearance of the king of Yanping County, who later commanded thousands of troops.
However, this is also understandable, Zheng Chenggong is only in his early twenties this year, and he has never led troops, and he is used to eating and drinking at home, that is, he is just a young master. Later, Zheng Chenggong was trained in war.
Zheng Chenggong looked shy when he spoke, and he couldn't say two words, so he lowered his head and then kept silent. Like him, Fu Shan didn't talk much. These two people simply have no sense of existence.
After drinking another glass of wine, Sun Yuan didn't bother to socialize with Zheng Hongkui, so he simply made his words clear: "Mr. Yu gradually asked me to come to Yuejianglou today to read Jianglou, I'm afraid it's not just for eating and chatting, right?" "It is Zheng Hongkui's word.
"I have heard for a long time that Sun Taichu is the first hero in the world, when he was in Shandong, he was entrusted to the sword by the war slave chieftain, and our Fujian Navy admired Brother Taichu very much, especially my son-in-law, as soon as he heard that he wanted to see Taichu, he immediately agreed
γ Fusong, don't you often talk in front of me, you have to be a person like Mrs. Sun? Seeing you today can be regarded as a wish of yours. β
Zheng Chenggong hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "I have to see the general today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." β
Sun Yuan hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Ashamed, ashamed." β
Zheng Hongkui waited for the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "This time I came to Nanjing to meet General Sun, and I also had a headache about where to choose. It is said that when you come to Nanjing, you must not go to Qin Huaihe. However, I heard that the general is not a woman, and he is also extremely disgusted with the Qinglou. Now, it's a dilemma. Therefore, I consulted the pastor below. Mu Lao said, although Taichu is a martial artist, but the literary talent is extremely good, write a good poem, if it is not for the country is using soldiers, need to lead the army commander, Taichu you read for ten years, maybe you can also become a great Confucian. Since you are an elegant person at the beginning, you can choose the meeting place of the two sides in Yuejiang Tower. In the middle of summer, there is no place in the city of Nanjing that can compare here. I don't know if the general is still satisfied here? If you don't like it, when I go to the old man to talk back, I'll blame him for not choosing a good location, haha! β
After saying that, he laughed quietly.
Zheng Hongkui's words were implicit but not revealing, and after careful consideration, there was no lack of threats.
The shepherd in his mouth is Qian Qianyi, the big man in Jiangnan Shilin, and Qian Muzhai.
Qian Qianyi, the word is accepted, the number is Mu Zhai, and he is often familiar in Suzhou.
He was admitted to the Jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, and his ranking was the first and third ranks, that is, Tanhua. After the pump, it was directly edited by the Hanlin Academy by the imperial court. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, which pays attention to the origin, is a great honor, because there is a rule in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, non-jinshi cannot be an official, and non-Hanlin cannot be a minister.
In other words, if you are not from a Jinshi background, you will not be able to be a court official above the seventh rank in the future. If you haven't studied at Hanlin Academy, you'll want to be in the cabinet for the rest of your life.
Qian Qianyi was selected for Tanhua and was directly escorted to the Hanlin Academy, with an extremely bright future, and he will be the prime minister in the future.
In fact, later, his career was smooth, and he became a waiter in the Ministry of Etiquette. It's a pity that because of the discord with Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, he was removed from all his duties by the imperial court after the political dispute failed, and went home to retire.
Although Qian Qianyi does not have any official position today, he has a very strong influence and appeal in Jiangnan Shilin and officialdom, and that is because he has another identity ----- the leader of the Donglin Party
γ
The strength of the Donglin Party is known to anyone who mixes with officialdom. This is a group of so-called righteous gentlemen, who control the public opinion of the government and the opposition, and have the final judgment on the moral character of any person. They say you're a gentleman, and you'll be famous all over the world in no time. If you are a villain, your reputation in this life will be ruined.
There are many people who have suffered big losses under the Donglin Party in the past few decades, from Wei Zhongxian at the beginning to Yang Sichang later, as long as they bite him, he basically puts a traitorous label on his forehead, and he can't take it off for the rest of his life, and even after his death, he will be scolded by the world.
Lu Xiangsheng was originally from Donglin, and strictly speaking, Sun Yuan, who was a protΓ©gΓ© of Lu Gong, was also a peripheral of Donglin.
What Zheng Hongkui meant by this is that my Zheng family has already taken the line of Qian Qianyi, he is the leader of Donglin, and your Sun Yuan is just a junior in Donglin, and in this negotiation between Yangzhou Town and the Zheng family, you Sun Yuan must make huge concessions. Otherwise, the public opinion tools of Dongxilin will teach you to be a new person in minutes.
"It turns out that this place was chosen by the shepherd, I didn't think that Qian Shouzhi would also know my Sun Yuan, I am really ashamed!" Sun Yuan deliberately made a look of surprise: "The good place chosen by the shepherd is exactly what a certain person wants." Mr. Yan, speaking of which, Yangzhou Town and Fujian Navy Division are both armies of the imperial court, and they are both a family, and it will not be beneficial for everyone to continue to fight like this. β
In his heart, Sun Yuan was quite disdainful of Qian Qianyi. That's right, today's Qian Muzhai is indeed a gentleman praised by everyone, the leader of Donglin. But what this man did later was very dirty, after the Qing soldiers came to Nanjing, it was such a gentleman and moral master who wanted to die for the country, but when he went to the river, he ran home in fear, saying that the water was too cold. Later, it was he who was the first to shave his hair and replaced it with a money rat tail style. When others asked about him, Lao Qian was also thick-skinned, saying that his scalp was itchy, so he shaved it. At this time, he did not say that his parents who had suffered from his body should not be damaged in the slightest.
The water is too cold and the scalp is itchy, which is simply a loss of discipline and shame.
Such a villain was actually brought out by Zheng Hongkui to threaten himself, and Sun Yuan had a feeling that he wanted to laugh.
"Well said, General Sun said well." When Zheng Hongkui heard Sun Yuan say this, he thought that he was afraid of Qian Qianyi's influence, so he was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Indeed, our two families are both troops of the imperial court, and they should live in harmony. β
He sighed slightly: "State affairs have been eroded to this point, and the imperial court is the time to use troops." The Ningxiang Army is the first male division in the world, and our Zhengjia Water Division is also a rare tiger army, which is the time for us to serve the country. If you and I fight first, and let the thieves and thieves see the jokes, isn't it fast for the relatives to hurt the enemies? It's better for the two of us to stop the war and work together to repay the country's kindness
γ Maybe one day in the future, the Fujian Navy Division and the Ningxiang Army will be able to fight side by side on the battlefield! β
"The third uncle said it well." At this time, Zheng Chenggong, who had not spoken, screamed, and his young face was full of excitement.
Zheng Hongkui was amused in his heart: Third uncle, I'm just talking empty words, Fusong, why should you take it seriously. This child, although sometimes he has a lot of enthusiasm, is inevitably simpler. Let's just say Qian Qianyi, the reason why I was able to stand on our side this time and be a Chinese person is not to see that we sent a lot of gold and silver, but not that I really want to say that I will join the two families and go to the national disaster together.
"What he said is very true, in fact, he also yearns for the day when he and the heroes of the Zheng family kill the enemy on the battlefield." Sun Yuan nodded again and again: "This battle has been fought for three or four years, and the losses of the two families are not small, so it is true that they cannot fight again." The Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are large enough to accommodate the fleets of our two families. β
"Well said, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are big enough." Zheng Hongkui applauded and said with a smile: "My eldest brother said that he came to Nanjing to see General Sun this time, and everything is easy to discuss." The eldest brother meant that the Ningxiang army would not cut off the route between the Yellow Sea and Shandong in the future, and the two families would stop fighting and live in harmony. β
"Stop the army and get along in harmony, how to stop it, and ask for advice."
Zheng Hongkui: "The Ningxiang Army is a land hero, and there is no need to keep such a huge fleet at all!" I've heard that the general invests more than 100,000 taels of silver in the sailors every year, and this expenditure is completely unnecessary! β
"It seems that Mr. Yu is going to let Sun cut off the sailor?" Sun Yuan asked with a smile: "This sounds really a bit like the alliance under the city, I was really startled just now, thinking that the Zheng family's sailor had already hit my door." β
"You can't say that." Zheng Hongkui's face turned full: "The navy under the general can still be retained, after all, didn't Dahewei also have a navy at the beginning, and he walked on the Grand Canal." β
"Haha, I see, sir, this is to turn my blue water navy into an inland sailor." Sun Yuan said with a smile: "If my Ningxiang Army only takes inland water transportation, it will be a little profitable, and I don't have any division for Cao Yun and salt transportation." There are more than 10,000 soldiers in my Yangzhou town, 100,000 military households under its jurisdiction, so many mouths to eat, since the establishment of Yangzhou Town, the imperial court has not allocated a penny of military salary, if you only go to the inland river, you will not starve to death. Mr. Gradual, isn't it difficult for you to be strong? β
Just kidding, just by virtue of such a sentence, just because there is a Qian Qianyi standing behind him, I want to abolish my martial arts, this Zheng family is too naΓ―ve.
