Chapter 630: What qualifications does King Tang have?
The night breeze was gentle, and Zheng Chenggong, who was full of concerns, walked alone on the beach. In the distance www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, the waves are constantly slapping against the shipwreck, making bursts of slapping sounds. In the sea at night, you can vaguely see a little light flickering on the sea.
Not far away, a group of guards of the Yanping clan with knives and lanterns lined up facing the sea. In front of the guards, Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, Huang Ting, the former military commander, Liu Guoxuan, the governor of the capital, Feng Chengshi, the engineering officer, and others gathered together, discussing the affairs of the day in a low voice, and kept going to see the feudal lord.
Guangdong and Beijing came at the same time, and each side brought a shocking piece of news. The news brought by Guangdong is that the Son of Heaven has abandoned the country, and the Taiping Army wants to unite Jinxia and Kuidong to support the Tang Dynasty and re-raise the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty to calm the hearts of the army and the people of the world; The news brought by Beijing is also that Yongli has abandoned the country and fled, but the Qing Emperor remembered that the country had been in war for a long time, and the people needed to recuperate, so he couldn't bear to fight again, so he specially recruited the surname of the prince and promised to raise troops in Fujian Province.
These two pieces of news were too shocking, and they were all shocked by the generals of the Yanping Domain. Because Jinxia is located in the southeast of Fujian, since the first year of the Yongli Dynasty and the central contact with the imperial court has been intermittent, in recent years, the contact with the southwest imperial court is mostly by sea through Annam and some secret routes, with the loss of the two Guangzhou, the sea road is not quiet, so seven years ago, Jinxia lost contact with the imperial court. The news about the imperial court and the war in the southwest were provided through the Qing court Tang newspaper and the Taiping army, which had only risen in Guangdong in the last two years, and the Taiping army was also restricted by land communication and the news was delayed, so it was just now known that the Son of Heaven had abandoned the country. When the news reached Jinxia, it collided with the Qing court envoy in time.
The Son of Heaven abandoned the country, Guangdong supported the Tang Dynasty, the Qing court recruited each other with the king, and raised troops in the land of Xu Province, and several pieces of news collided together, which made the civil and military generals of Jinxia all confused, and it was the Qing court that made the generals quarrel.
Zheng Chenggong has had several negotiations with the Qing court since the beginning of the army, the last negotiation was in the Quanzhou Mansion Anping Bao'en Temple, the Qing court promised the title of "Haicheng Gong" and the land of Quanzhou, and the national surname refused to accept this. Later, the Qing court secretly sent envoys to Jinxia to promise to give Xinghua, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Chaozhou four prefectures, but Zheng Chenggong refused to the Qing court on the grounds that there were many soldiers and horses, and there were not enough places in the provinces.
Zheng Chenggong has always claimed that the Qing court is insincere about the Qing Dynasty over the years, and he also said that "I have not received the edict for a day, and my father will be glorified in the court for a day", so although Zheng Chenggong has always insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, he has never refused the peace talks of the Qing court, and this attitude naturally affects the generals of the domain, so that the generals of the domain have two attitudes towards whether to surrender the Qing Dynasty. And this time, the Qing court sealed each other with a prince, and even conceded a province in Fujian, sincerity is not insufficient, and Yongli abandoned the country, Chen Yonghua was very afraid that the national surname might really be tempted.
After receiving the two envoys today, the feudal clan quarreled together, and the Zheng generals headed by Zheng Tai, the Marquis of Jianping, said that since Yongli had abandoned the country, the Ming Dynasty was dead, and there was no need for the Ming Dynasty to be martyred. The generals led by Huang Ting, the former military commander, and Gan Hui of the Chinese army, resolutely disagreed with the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, and they believed that they should respond to the Guangdong side and support the Tang Dynasty to supervise the country. In addition, officials led by the official Pan Gengzhong and others opposed the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, but also opposed the establishment of the Tang Dynasty King Jianguo, saying that Yongli, who had abandoned the country and fled, was Zhengshuo.
The three factions quarreled with each other, each with its own reason, and Zheng Chenggong couldn't make up his mind, so he came to the beach for a walk after dinner. He looked at the sea in the night with his hands in his hands, and after a while, there was a guard leading a person over, Chen Yonghua knew this person, but he was a servant of the Qing court during the day. The man didn't say a word after seeing Zheng Chenggong, only handed a letter to Zheng Chenggong, and then disappeared into the night under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong's guards.
After reading the letter, Zheng Chenggong threw the letter into the cage and burned it along with the lantern. After that, he called the guards to call Chen Yonghua and Huang Ting over.
"Domain Lord!"
Chen Yonghua and the others approached Zheng Chenggong's side, and more than a dozen guards carrying lanterns surrounded them, and the lights illuminated the room brightly.
Zheng Chenggong glanced at his subordinates and said slowly: "There is no need to think much about Beijing, this domain would rather die than surrender!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan were both relieved, Huang Ting hesitated, but did not object, but stepped forward and said: "Since the feudal lord refuses the Qing court, then the feudal lord wants to support the Tang Dynasty and supervise the country?" ”
"The Taiping army now has two vast lands, according to the messenger, now it is even more with Kuidong to occupy Huguang, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, is only defeated in western Yunnan, so it is inevitable that the Taiping army will support the king of Tang. The feudal lord was reluctant to serve Yongli back then, but now it is just the right time to change the title and withdraw it, the general trend is like this, and the people of the world can't say anything about the feudal lord. ”
The implication of the engineer Feng Chengshi's words is naturally that since it has become inevitable to support the Tang Dynasty, and the Taiping Army and the Loyal Battalion have abandoned Yongli, then Jinxia has no reason to still play the banner of Yongli. Moreover, when Yongli was in Zhaoqing and called the prison country, the vassal lord was the self-established Huai King Zhu Changqing to supervise the country, if it were not for the Tang king's letter to persuade him, where would the vassal lord be the lord of Yongli. Over the years, the Yanping Domain has never obeyed the orders of the Yongli court, let alone listened to the tune, and the Yongli side is also well aware of this, so the two sides do not interfere with each other. Now Yongli abandoned the country and ran away, and it was a matter of course for the feudal lord to unite with the Taiping Army and loyally support the Tang King and the country.
Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan both nodded, and deeply agreed with what Feng Chengshi said, both of them agreed to support the Tang Dynasty and the Prison State, after all, the Son of Heaven is the one who is strong and strong, and now the Taiping Army and the Loyal Battalion are united to support the Tang Dynasty, and Li Dingguo has no soldiers and horses, Jinxia naturally chooses to act together with the Taiping Army and the Loyal Battalion, so that the three join forces, and the situation may not be out of control from now on.
I didn't want Zheng Chenggong to sneer and said, "What qualifications does Zhu Yuye have to be called the prison country, and why does Zhou Shixiang support him to supervise the country?" Could it be that apart from him Zhu Yuyi, there is no one to supervise the country in the Ming Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
