Chapter 41: Lobbying

For a long time, Zheng Chenggong didn't know what to do with Lu Jianguo.

Lu Jianguo can be killed by the Manchus, he can be killed by Yongli, but he can't die in the hands of Zheng Chenggong.

Of course, if there is a holy decree, then of course it is no problem.

But Zheng Chenggong knew that Yongli would not give an order.

in the same room, it's not good for Yongli's reputation. Those rotten Confucians around Yongli will not agree to Yongli's decree to crusade against King Lu when there is a foreign enemy.

Without a holy decree, it would be inconvenient for Zheng Chenggong to move Lu Jianguo.

As soon as he came, he killed the royal family without a will, and Yongli would reward himself at first, but it would also make Yongli vigilant and jealous of himself.

I am not completely ready now, and it is not the time to turn against Yongli for the time being.

But the location of Zhoushan is very important, and I am absolutely not worried about outsiders occupying it.

Just as Zheng Chenggong was about to discuss with Yao Qisheng how to solve Lu Jianguo, he heard Lu Jianguo say that he wanted to resign from the name of Jian Guo.

Zheng Chenggong was very happy and warmly entertained Zhang Huangyan.

After the banquet, in the Hangzhou Mansion, Chen Yonghua arched his hand and said, "Students meet the dean!" ”

Zheng Chenggong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hard work, Fufu!" ”

"For Mr., students dare not say that they are hard!"

"Well, exercise more now, and there are more important things for you to do in the future?"

"Yes, the students will not disappoint the dean."

"Fufu, originally according to your merits, it is not too much to be promoted to a squire. It's just that you are young, and you have the courage to be promoted to a high position, and I am afraid that others will not accept it. Now for the time being, I will join the army as a military election of the Ministry of War! ”

"Yes, the student thanked the dean for his protection!"

"Fufu, don't stand, sit down for a while to discuss King Lu's resignation!"

"Dean Xie!"

Zheng Chenggong looked at the two henchmen in front of him and said: "Zheng Jiajun started as a sailor, Zhoushan is of great significance to our army, I intend to set up a military village in Zhoushan, and include the soldiers under the national flag of Lu Jian into my military establishment, what do you think!" ”

Yao Qisheng and Chen Yonghua both nodded.

Chen Yonghua said: "The students think it is feasible, since King Lu has resigned from the name of Lu Jianguo, he will be a Yongli minister in the future, and the dean can command Zhang Mingzhen and them in the name of the general of the imperial seal." ”

Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said: "It's just that Lu Jianguo is here, and if you want Zhang Mingzhen to listen to the order, it will be a little inconvenient after all." You see if you want to send King Lu to Yongli's side. ”

Zheng Chenggong is preparing to send King Lu to Yongli's side. In that case, within two years, King Lu will definitely die.

King Lu was killed by Yong, and Zhang Mingzhen and they could only obey their own orders.

Hearing that Zheng Chenggong was going to send King Lu to Yongli's side, Yao Qisheng and Chen Yonghua shouted in unison: "No, General (Dean)!" ”

Hearing the opposition of his subordinates, Zheng Chenggong asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Yao Qisheng instructed Chen Yonghua to speak out to help Zheng Chenggong solve his doubts, and Chen Yonghua knew that Yao Qisheng intended to let himself behave in front of Zheng Chenggong.

After Chen Yonghua thanked Yao Qisheng, he said: "Dean, King Lu is still of great use to our army. Yongli felt that the dean was highly meritorious, and tried in vain to do everything he could, and the dean could also abolish the emperor in the name of King Lu. And in case Yongli is unfortunately killed, King Nalu is the most able to obtain the recognition of other loyal and righteous people, and then the dean can serve the country to conquer the world. Therefore, monitoring King Lu in Hangzhou is the best choice for our army! ”

Zheng Chenggong heard and looked at Yao Qisheng, Yao Qisheng nodded, agreeing with Chen Yonghua's strategy.

Zheng Chenggong saw that the chief military advisor agreed, and said: "Since this is the case, then find a good place for Lu Jianguo in Hangzhou!" But what should his men do? ”

Chen Yonghua said: "Dean, those infantry of King Lu are all rabble, and they are not worth mentioning. Only the two thousand sailors under Zhang Mingzhen need to pay attention. On the one hand, the dean retained his original titles for the generals of King Lu, and sent generals who were pro-King Lu to take charge of those infantry on the grounds of protecting the safety of King Lu. Incorporate the 2,000 sailors into his military establishment and send Wang Yi, who is kind to us, to take over. In this way, the soldiers of King Lu can be transferred to the dean's domain. ”

Yao Qisheng nodded in agreement and said: "Chen's strategy to join the army is exactly what I want!" ”

Zheng Chenggong felt that it was a good strategy to annex King Lu's forces without causing disputes.

Zheng Chenggong said: "In this way, act according to Fufu's strategy!" ”

Chen Yonghua said: "Dean, the students have one more thing to say! ”

Zheng Chenggong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Yonghua said: "Dean, you are building water conservancy, storing people's livelihood, building colleges, reforming the imperial examination, and educating the people, all of which are beneficial to the people and the country, and you are truly the king of the country." However, all of them are contrary to the laws of the imperial court. The students are afraid that some gluttons will take the opportunity to slander the dean, which makes Yongli suspicious of the dean, which is not conducive to the dean's plan! ”

Zheng Chenggong heard it and asked, "What do you think of it?" ”

Chen Yonghua said: "I heard that the eunuch Wang Kun around Yongli is extremely greedy for bribes, and the students are willing to go to Guangdong to bribe with gold silk, please turn around, and be worry-free!" ”

Zheng Chenggong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Well, then you can go to Guangdong, don't be afraid of spending money, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!" ”

"Yes, Dean!"

After discussing Lu Jianguo's handling plan and buying the people around Yongli, Yao Qisheng saw that Chen Yonghua had nothing else to do, so he said: "General, our army will be shocked to kill Liu Zhiyuan and successfully recover Zhejiang." I expected that the Manchu Tartars would definitely send heavy troops. Once our army fell into a bitter battle with the Manchus, it was not conducive to our army to seize Nanzhili. ”

Zheng Chenggong felt that what Yao Qisheng said made sense, he had captured Zhejiang, and the next step would definitely be to attack Nanzhili.

Nanjing, which is in the middle of the Southern Zhili, is the old capital of the Ming Dynasty and has a prominent political status.

Once Nanjing was taken, it would certainly boost the determination of the Han officials and gentry everywhere to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and make the Manchus tired of dealing with the uprisings in various places.

Second, Jiangnan is the main source of the country's finances, and it is also the hinterland of the country, once it is captured, it will not only make the Ming and Qing dynasties reverse their economic strength, but also take advantage of the situation to take over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River after conquering Nanjing.

At that time, with the strength of the Zheng family's water division, it will inevitably cause the north and south of the Qing Dynasty's ruling area to be separated.

I can see it myself, and so can the Manchus.

In order to prevent Nanzhili from falling into my hands, the Manchus could only send heavy troops to exterminate them.

Zheng Chenggong asked: "Then in Xizhi's opinion, how should our army respond!" ”

Yao Qisheng said: "I heard that Sun Kewang is jealous. The general should send an envoy to Sun Kewang, asking for troops to attack the Qing Dynasty, and saying that the Qing army would recover Zhejiang. In his words, he can be arrogant and contempt Sun Kewang. After Sun Kewang saw and heard about it, he would definitely order his soldiers to step up the attack on Huguang. If Huguang is in an emergency, how can the Manchus have time to go to Jiangnan? ”

Chen Yonghua heard the applause and said: "Yao Shangshu has a very good plan, and the student is willing to go to Guizhou to be a lobbyist!" ”

Killing two birds with one stone, I like it!

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said: "Fufu is tired and tired to work hard, after going to Guangdong for activities, I will go to Guizhou again, and find a way to set up a law to let Sun Kewang step up the attack on Huguang and reduce the pressure on our army!" ”

Chen Yonghua hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yes, the situation is urgent, the student will leave!" (To be continued.) )
