After the establishment of the small court in Fujian, it quickly developed into a trend when Yang Chao was in Nanjing, and it was even worse than that time.

The contradiction between the little emperor and the Zheng family was very intense, and the contradiction between Zhu Cihong and Yang Chao was more acute and prominent than when Yang Chao was in Nanjing.

The little emperor and the Zheng family are each responsible, Zhu Cihuan's personality is more arbitrary than his brother Zhu Cihong, and he is more uncontrollable, and Zheng's background is a pirate, it is impossible to expect these people to be as good as Yang Chao, or to expect them to play the trade-off tricks of civil officials, so when the demands of both sides are very direct, it is strange that the contradictions are not sharp.

Perhaps it is from the unique political background of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty emperors have never been accustomed to being held hostage by military generals, they can let civilian officials manipulate, but they are very distrustful of military generals, and civil officials have been systematically suppressed for hundreds of years, so the phenomenon of civil officials and emperors uniting against the Zheng group was formed in the small court of Fujian.

The emperor and the civil officials wanted to control the soldiers in the hands of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family wanted to take over the wealth in the hands of the civil officials, one wanted the military power, and the other wanted the financial power, but it was impossible for the Zheng family to give up the military power in their hands, and the financial power that had always been in the hands of the civil officials in Fujian was also unwilling to be handed over to the Zheng family, and the Zheng family forcibly collected money at some checkpoints, and worked hard to expand the sea trade, while the civil officials and the emperor recruited troops themselves, and at the same time tried to transfer the Ming army from Zhejiang and Fujian to Fujian.

But the emperor and civil officials were inseparable from the support of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family did not dare to throw away the banner of the emperor, so the two sides had to make do with each other.

In Yang Chao's opinion, both the Zheng family and the emperor were a little unable to think about it.

It is not easy for the Zheng family to want money, Fujian is open to trade, why bother staring at the pitiful grain in the hands of the imperial court, you must know that Fujian is a barren area, there are many people and little land, but there is no shortage of trade goods, Fujian Longquan kiln opened up to burn porcelain and sold it to Westerners, and Fujian's iron pull was sold to Yang Chao in Nanjing is a big price.

And the imperial court couldn't think about it too much, the 200,000 outlaws that Zheng Zhilong recruited with his life just looked bluffing. It is better to find a brave general and train Zhejiang's army with peace of mind, Zhejiang soldiers are invincible in the world in the hands of Qi Jiguang.

Of course, these two parties are by no means as simple as Yang Chao imagined, military power and financial power. Not only soldiers and money, but also contains the political significance of control and counter-control, the imperial court cannot control the Zheng family's soldiers, which means that they are held hostage by the Zheng family, and the Zheng family cannot take the money in the hands of civil officials and the emperor. I can't control the court.

Therefore, the Zheng family is not short of money, and the court is not short of soldiers, what the Zheng family wants is that the court has no money, and what the court wants is that the Zheng family has no soldiers, that's it!

The situation in Zhejiang is not bad, since the Zhejiang wealthy family who supported the rebellion of Xu Du was ruthlessly cleaned up by Yang Chao once, they have been very honest in the past two years, so Zhejiang is a rare place of peace in the world.

After the establishment of the small imperial court, Zhejiang's civil official system was still very complete, and they were all considered to support the imperial court. The first time to express support, every year Zhejiang's finance and taxation except for the interception of a part of the army, the rest are handed over to the small court, Zhejiang's wealth is now the largest source of wealth for the small court.

However, Zhejiang also has problems in Zhejiang, like Fujian, it is still infighting, Fujian is the imperial court and the Zheng family can not be harmonious, and Zhejiang is the infighting between civil officials.

Ruan Dacheng has been working as an envoy in Zhejiang, and he can be regarded as a senior officer, but he is at odds with the governor of Zhejiang. The governor of Zhejiang is the Donglin Party, and Ruan Dacheng is the eunuch party, but now there are soldiers in the world, and he can speak hard.

In the past, the governor of Zhejiang had the support of troops in his hands. Ruan Dacheng has always been at a disadvantage, but after Ma Shiying fled with his troops, he finally fled to Zhejiang to join Ruan Dacheng, and Ruan Dacheng now has soldiers in his hands, so he began to fight with the governor, and no one obeyed anyone.

And Guangdong is not very peaceful. The peasant uprising and the landlords were armed, which was enough for Guangdong to have a headache, while Guangxi had few people and poor people, and could not help the imperial court.

Therefore, the small court seems to control a lot of territory, but all forces are keen on infighting, and they have never been able to twist into a rope, and they have never been able to form a joint force.

Therefore, militarily had to rely on Yang Chao's support, before the Qing army entered Jiangxi, it was good to say that the Qing army had entered Jiangxi, especially after the Eight Banners arrived in Jiangxi, both Zhejiang and Fujian were a little flustered, and the internal fighting was suspended under pressure, so this time the emperor, civil officials and Zheng could send representatives to Nanjing at the same time, I don't know how many armies will defeat the Qing army in Jiangxi, and then they will continue to cooperate.

"My Nangi heavy troops out of Huizhou Mansion, attack the enemy Raozhou Eight Banners, and then march to Nanchang, our army will annihilate 30,000 Eight Banners!"

Yang Chao pointed to the Raozhou Mansion in Jiangxi Province, which is adjacent to Nanzhili Huizhou, on the map.

"Zhejiang soldiers went out of Xianxia Pass to attack Tartar Guangxin Mansion (Shangrao)."

Wang Xiong said.

"The Fujian soldiers are divided into three roads, and the north road goes out of the water pass into Guixi; The middle road out of Shanguan to attack Fuzhou; The south road out of Tingzhou and Guangdong soldiers to attack Ganzhou! ”

Zheng Hongkui said loudly.

The Zheng family has a great appetite, Yang Chao couldn't help but think, they probably thought that nine out of ten were stable, and they were in a hurry to grab the territory.

However, they have reason to be optimistic, the elite 30,000 Eight Banners of the Qing Army are basically deployed near Nanzhili to guard against Yang Chao, and Yang Chao promised to send troops to eliminate this Eight Banners force, for the Zheng family and Zhejiang, without the support of the Eight Banners, Jin Shenghuan and those soldiers in Wang Tizhong, they really can't look down on them.

The Zheng family was originally for the purpose of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but Zhu Cihuan, the Son of Heaven, is too difficult to coerce, not obedient at all, and the world is even more difficult to coerce, whether it is Zhejiang or Guangdong, they don't listen to them, in the end, they set up a Son of Heaven, only in Fujian has a slightly greater right, and the Zheng family in other places can't intervene at all, they can be regarded as understanding, the premise of coercing the Son of Heaven is that your power is big enough, and the Son of Heaven just gave you a banner that can justifiably crusade against others.

Therefore, it is really naïve to think that under the banner of the Son of Heaven, you can take over the world, and I have to say that after these days, the Zheng family can be regarded as learning how to be a warlord.

"Okay, good, this plan is very good, the governor promises not to let a single Eight Banners soldier go south. Within a month, the three-way army leveled Jiangxi and returned the people of Jiangxi to a bright future. ”

Everyone had a discussion, and said the strength of the troops and the commitments they needed to make, and then Yang Chao summed it up with a loud smile.

Zhejiang said that it would send 30,000 troops out of Xianxia Pass, and Zheng could send 100,000 horses, while Yang Chao only said that he would not let the Eight Banners go south, as for how many troops Yang Chao said that it would depend on the battle situation, if the battle situation was unfavorable, it would be no problem to send 300,000 troops.

For Yang Chao's guarantee, everyone is still relieved, they all know that Yang Chao's troops are strong, and he has always been very trustworthy.

After the discussion, everyone's faces showed a relaxed look, as if their discussion on the map had already decided the outcome of the battle.

At this time, the outside suddenly remembered shouts such as "Xiucai rebelled" and "Xiucai rebelled"!

Yang Chao's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "Bold, why is Xiucai so arrogant, he actually broke into the palace to rebel!" ”

Zheng Hongkui, Wang Xiong and others all showed surprise on their faces, they didn't expect that they were discussing military aircraft in the palace, and the talents actually broke in.

They naturally knew that Xiucai had been making trouble in Nanjing for several months, from autumn to winter, and many civil officials in the court impeached Yang Chao to the emperor for this, but impeachment was also impeachment, which had no effect, and there were many Confucians who scolded Yang Chao, but it still had no effect, just like a dog barking twice.

But they never thought that Xiucai would dare to trespass on the palace.

"Everyone go out with this pass to have a look. These showmen are too ridiculous, how can they trespass into the palace, but this level doesn't believe that Xiucai rebelled anyway. ”

No one believed that Xiu would rebel, even the father-in-law sent by Zhu Cihong didn't believe it, and he had the courage to walk out with Yang Chao.

Yang Chao They are discussing in the Qianqing Palace, the core of the palace, in addition to the Qianqing Palace, due north is the Jiaotai Palace, and further north is the Kunning Palace, where did the voice come from.

The guards protected Yang Chao and his party with weapons one by one and walked north.

As soon as I walked through Kunning Palace, I saw a group of armored soldiers, surrounded by thousands of Xiucai.

The talents actually entered Bei'anmen, which was already the Forbidden City, and they could be regarded as entering the core area of the palace.

"What's going on?"

When an officer saw Yang Chao coming, he immediately ran over to report.

"The show talent has rebelled!"

The officer said honestly.

Yang Chao said: "Nonsense, this group of talented people who have no power to restrain chickens, which one can they do?" ”

The officer said: "Really, they took weapons, entered the palace from Yuanwu Gate, and broke through Bei'an Gate before being stopped by us." ”

Yang Chao expressed doubts, Zheng Hongkui and they couldn't figure out the truth, and they really couldn't understand what the showmen were making trouble with? If they really rebelled, they definitely didn't believe it, but they didn't suspect that this was Yang Chao's conspiracy, because they would never have imagined that Yang Chao would arrest all these Xiucai and confiscate the army, and the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how rich their imagination, would never have thought that they would let Xiucai become soldiers.

Yang Chao said: "Please invite two talented sons to come over." ”

The officer obeyed, quickly ran back, and then led people to rush into the crowded Xiucai team, and grabbed two people in front of the wooden sticks of the Xiucai, but the Xiucai did not dare to hit anyone.

When these two people were brought to Yang Chao, they were still holding wooden sticks in their hands, which were their weapons.

At this time, Yang Chao's personal soldiers shouted "protect the adult" very exaggeratedly, and immediately blocked in front of Yang Chao, and the spear in his hand almost poked the faces of the two Xiucai who were brought over.

Yang Chao made an expression of incessant belief at this time.

He asked in a very regretful tone, "Why do you want to rebel?" (To be continued.) )
