Ge Yi's proposal was of great help to Tang Wangjian in state affairs, after all, even the city wall and Zhang Xiaoqi's status was there, whether Zhou Shixiang recognized them or not, they were all governors and governors of the Ming Dynasty, which was recognized even by the Qing court. However www.biquge.info Zhou Shixiang did not let Ge Yi send troops to attack Qinzhou, as long as he came to Wencun first, and then decided whether to capture Qinzhou and send troops to Annam from the land after Zhao Ziqiang made progress.

Zhou Shixiang's view is that leaving Qinzhou for now is not a room for Annan people to turn around. After all, he had no intention of capturing the entire territory of Annam at the moment, because the Taiping army did not yet have the ability to destroy the country, and even if it did, Zhou Shixiang did not have the time and energy to deal with the subsequent large-scale guerrilla resistance of the Annamite people. At that time, Chengzu's 300,000 army failed to purge the Annan rebels in Annan, and the Yankees in later generations also did not succeed, so Zhou Shixiang did not think that with the current strength of the Taiping Army, he could complete this major event of completely occupying Annan. If the investment in Annam is too large, then the cart before the horse, compared to the white-eyed wolf-like Annam, the Qing court is the henchman of the Taiping army.

With the soldiers of Annan, Zhou Shixiang only had two purposes, one was for the rice of Annan, and the other was for those who were detained. And the former is more important than the latter, although the subordinates attach great importance to the eldest princess as the future princess of Qi, and many people are clamoring to enter Annan to snatch back the princess, but in Zhou Shixiang's eyes, the princess he has never seen may not be as important to him as a boatload of rice.

According to the investigation, Annan's domestic situation is complicated, and the three families in power are dragging their feet, and the king of Annan is not a man of his word, nor is he able to control the domestic political situation, and the unauthorized detention of the Ming Dynasty ministers and the eldest princess and his party is to occupy the north and south of Annan and do it privately.

This information made Zhou Shi more confident in the use of troops in Annan, and the terrain of Annan was narrow and long, the naval division was weak, and the coastal defense was close to zero, which was a favorable condition for pressing Annan. As long as Zhao Ziqiang does not commit stupidity, then the end of the Annan people is destined to be the same as that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations - to please the suzerain of the Ming Dynasty with the power of the whole country.

Some of the staff officers of the military department believed that if the Annan people were under the pressure of the expeditionary force, they would make a desperate attempt to march to Guangxi, and then they might threaten Nanning and other places, just like Nong Zhigao in the Song Dynasty. In this regard, Zhou Shi smiled, the Taiping army is currently only controlling a few large towns in Guangxi, and the southern part of Guangxi has basically not been occupied, where the Tusi armed forces are entrenched, if the people of Annan are interested in going north, Zhou Shi instead raised his hands to cheer for them. Because in this way, the Annamites will help the Taiping army to eliminate the Tusi forces that refuse to submit.

If those Tusi forces fell to Annan and attacked Nanning with the Annan army, Zhou Shixiang would not be worried. In the end, the battle situation really evolved like that, and the Taiping army sent troops to capture Qinzhou, and then inserted it from Qinzhou to cut off the back road of the Annan army in the north in one fell swoop. The expeditionary force landed in Annan again, and the Annan army that wanted to go north with the strength of one family alone had to lie down, after all, it was the family in the north and south of Annan who seized the Ming ministers and princesses, not the two families in the south. If Da Ming can help those two families to kill the one in the north, I am afraid that the two families in the south will be happy to bear the cost of military salaries and food, and even send troops to help directly. There are few people in this world, but there is never a shortage of people who fall into the well, not to mention that there is still a huge conflict of interests involved.

University scholar Guo Zhiqi is almost in good health now, and Zhou Shixiang brought him from Guangxi. Knowing that Zhou Shixiang returned to Guangdong to support the Tang Dynasty and Jianguo, Guo Daxue did not oppose or support it, but was silent.

Gui Yongzhi and the others guessed the true thoughts of Guo Daxue, and they all said that this person was an important minister of the cabinet of Yongli Xinzhong, and he did not support the Tang Dynasty and the eunuch, which showed that he was towards Yongli in his heart, and if he was brought to Wencun, he would not be able to make any trouble.

Zhou Shixiang's view is the opposite, Guo Zhiqi is silent, but in this world, silence is often an attitude.

If Guo Zhiqi really opposed the Tang Dynasty and the country, he could have shouted out directly and made a picture of the Yongli loyal minister to Zhou Shixiang, but he didn't do this, which shows that he actually agrees with the Tang Dynasty in his heart, after all, Yongli's abandonment of the country has a bad impact, if the country can't re-establish a new monarch, everyone will be a coward, the emperor who abandoned the country and fled, which of the soldiers below is comfortable, and which one is willing to die for such an emperor. Let's ask, is it possible that the emperor himself has run away, and he still expects the soldiers and civilians below to continue fighting for him?

Therefore, Guo Zhiqi's silence just shows that he supports the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the prison state, but because of his embarrassing identity, he really can't open his mouth to express his support. This is similar to Qinzhou's Liancheng Wall and Zhang Xiaoqi.

However, compared to Lianchengbi, Guo Zhiqi is much more enlightened, and he did not refuse Zhou Shixiang's invitation to go to Wencun with him. On the way, Zhou Shixiang asked several times about Annan's will to canonize him as the king of Qi, but Guo Zhiqi shook his head and said that he didn't know, he only knew that Yongli only canonized Zhou Shixiang as the Duke of Yue, and married the eldest princess to Zhou Shixiang as his wife.

Zhou Shixiang asked Guo Zhiqi if it was possible that Yongli made this will before abandoning the country and fleeing, Guo Zhiqi hesitated for a while and did not speak, because he didn't know whether it was possible. Guo Zhiqi doesn't know, even the ministers of the cabinet don't know whether this matter is true or not, so it is more likely to operate.

Zhou Shixiang is desperate to get the canonization of the King of Qi, and the prince of Feng is such a thing, but the Tang King who supervises the country cannot be sealed, so if there is no endorsement of the will of the King of Qi in Yongli, it is to support the Tang King to supervise the country, and for a long time in the future, Zhou Shixiang can probably get the title of the Duke of Yue, not the King of Qi. And only as the Duke of Yue to preside over the Tang Dynasty regime and the Northern Expedition, and command the Ming army forces in various places, this identity is obviously not enough, far from enough. Therefore, what is fake must also be made real.

When they arrived in Taishan, Suna, the town general of the sixth town, and Shao Chengguo, the town general of the cavalry town, also rushed over, so that several generals in Guangdong, only Hu Qili, the seventh town of Chaozhou, and Qi Hao, the general of the fifteenth town of Lianzhou, did not arrive, and the rest of the generals rushed to participate in the state affairs of Tang Wangjian. Although Guangxi has achieved a great victory, Yu Shizhong will be busy redeploying the Guizhou-Guizhou defense line, and it will be impossible to come to Guangdong for a while. But the king. After the end of the war, the auxiliary minister and the blind man Li hurried to Guangdong without waiting for the order of the military marshal's office. The two of them didn't want to come to participate in any support for the Tang Dynasty, but wanted to come back quickly, otherwise they were afraid that they would be incorporated into the Guangxi Field Army, so they would not be able to participate in the Northern Expedition to the Southern Capital.

On the Guangxi side, discerning people know that it is impossible to have any more large-scale battles, and with the annihilation of the entire army of Luo Tuo and Line Guoan, the Yunnan-Guizhou-Qing army wants to organize another large-scale offensive in the short term, and it will not be possible to do it in three or five months. In the past three or five months, the Northern Expeditionary Army has already fought to the southern capital.

Suna, a town from Manchuria, came to persuade the Tang Dynasty, plus several other Manchu and Mongolian generals, making it even more brilliant to persuade the Tang Dynasty to enter the Tang Dynasty. Zhou Shixiang asked them to come over, but he also wanted the Tang King to see, you see, even the Manchurians and Mongolian Tatars have come to persuade you to be a prisoner, this is the heart of the world, what reason do you have to be inappropriate.

Zhou Shixiang rushed to Wencun from the light car, he immediately led the officials to solemnly invite the Tang King to supervise the country, when the Tang King got the second letter of the prison seal, he saw the scholar Guo Zhiqi behind Zhou Shixiang's name, and he was quite surprised in his heart.

On this day, due to a sudden heavy rain in the afternoon, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky after the rain. Wang Ming, the magistrate of Taishan County outside the palace, saw it, and shouted "auspicious from the sky" with joy on the spot, so in a call of "auspicious from the sky, Tang Wang Shuntian responds to the people", Zhou Shixiang knelt down with hundreds of officials and civil and military officials to ask Tang Wang to supervise the country.

Tang Wang saw the rumored "thief Xiucai" for the first time, and Zhou Shixiang also saw Tang Fan himself for the first time, and the two looked at each other, both guessing each other's true intentions.

"The major events of the world cannot be left without an owner, how can Your Highness abandon the world and be completely famous!" Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Biyuan, raised his arms and shouted, the handsome man came in person, and he had to work hard.

"The ministers respectfully ask Your Highness to supervise the country!" Zhou Shixiang led the civil and military to bow again.

"Lonely and lonely, there is no way to supervise the world. Besides, the Son of Heaven is still here, so how can he come to supervise the country, you will mention it later. Tang Wang refused again as he did last time, and did not agree to this matter just because Zhou Shixiang came in person.

King Guangxing, the prince of Jingguo, hurriedly said: "The Son of Heaven abandons the country, and the army and the people of the world lose their masters, if His Royal Highness does not supervise the country, can he endure the separation of the army and the people, and endure the destruction of the Ming Dynasty and the society!" ”

"His Royal Highness is Shaozong's younger brother, don't you want to avenge Shaozong?" Guangxi Zuobu Zheng Zhang Zichang Road.

"This...."

King Tang hesitated a little, but only hesitated for a moment, and then said categorically: "The Son of Heaven will not return, he is nearly fifty years old, and his blood has failed, how can he take on the heavy responsibility of supervising the country." If you really want to establish a prison country, you can choose someone else in the clan. ”

Hearing this, Guo Zhiqi, a bachelor who had been silent, spoke: "Your Highness is the younger brother of Shaozong, if Your Highness does not supervise the country, who can supervise the country?" ”

King Tang was stunned and said, "There is King Lu in Jinxia. ”

King Lu?

Everyone was stunned, how did King Tang mention King Lu.

Zhou Shixiang's face also changed, what kind of play did Tang Wang play, did he really not want to be a prisoner. The king of Nalu is under the hands of the country's surname, and he can support it. really embraced King Lu, wouldn't he Zhou Shixiang make wedding dresses for others.

Eunuch Pan, Hong Minyuan, Liu Tichun and others were also surprised, King Lu and King Tang couldn't hit each other with eight poles, why did His Royal Highness want King Lu to supervise the country.

Pan Hong and the others arrived in Wencun yesterday, but King Tang didn't see them, so they didn't know what King Tang thought.

When everyone was surprised, Guo Zhiqi said slowly: "Although King Lu is also a pro-vassal vassal but too far away from Shaozong, today the son abandons the country, looking at the sea, only His Royal Highness is qualified to be the supervisor of the country." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly echoed it. Tang Wang turned a deaf ear, and only said firmly: "Gu said that Gu is weak and has no intention of supervising the country, so you don't need to mention this matter again." Lonely and tired, you wait to go. After speaking, he got up and walked away, Mrs. Tang Wang looked at Zhou Shixiang with some hesitation, and bowed her head to follow Tang Wang.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone didn't want Tang Wang to leave after saying such a few words, and they were all stunned for a while, not knowing how to react.

Liao Ruixiang, Wang Zhangjun and others looked at Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Shixiang shook his head slightly, and motioned for everyone to go out first.

After everyone withdrew from the Tang Palace, they exchanged their heads and discussed what the Tang King said before, there is a way This is just a second persuasion, Tang Wang may not want to be a prisoner, and he will definitely agree to the next persuasion. There are also ways to look at the appearance of King Tang, as if he really has no intention of supervising the country, and I am afraid that this matter will be yellow. Some people are worried that if King Tang refuses to supervise the country, then who can supervise the country, is it true that King Lu of Jinxia will not succeed.

Eunuch Hong and the Ministry of Hong stepped forward to ask Guo Zhiqi a few words, talking about King Tang's reaction, the three of them had their own conjectures, but they all made up their minds that they would enter the mansion to see King Tang in person later. Wang Guangxing, Liu Tichun and others got together and also discussed the matter.

Zhou Shixiang didn't want to talk about this matter in front of so many people, so he ordered the guards to prepare to return to Taishan first, and then come to persuade him two days later, so that the meaning of the three persuasions was complete. And he was confused in his heart, he didn't know whether what Tang Wang said was true or false, it was necessary to send someone to Tang Wang to find out, otherwise he was busy for most of the day, but found that the party did not cooperate at all, which would be a big trouble.

As soon as he got on the horse here, someone shouted and scolded behind him: "Okay, you Tang Wang, you don't know how to lift, if you don't be the Son of Heaven, my handsome family will be the Son of Heaven!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials who had not yet dispersed were stunned when they heard this. When Zhou Shixiang heard this, he was almost frightened and fell off the horse.

Which king and eight lambs make trouble for Lao Tzu!

Zhou Shixiang was angry, turned his head to look, but found that it was the bald Jiang He who was scolding, and there were three people beside him, one was Ge Yi, one was Suna, and the other was Shao Chengguo. (To be continued.) )
