Zhu Ping'an knew that as soon as this remark came out, most of the people present may not necessarily agree, but this effect is indeed expected. The scholars represented by Lu Zhenfei, Huang Gongfu, and Chen Zizhuang are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, which is beyond doubt, otherwise, they would not still fight to the death in the case of the loss of the national ancestry.

This is something that Zhu Ping'an can take advantage of. In Zhu Ping'an's view, the continuation of the Ming Dynasty can only be completed by himself, and history has proved that whether Chongzhen or his heirs, including the Hongguang regime and the Yongli Dynasty that will go to the stage of history in the future, including the Longwu court established by his father Zhu Yujian, are far from being qualified for the people of the Zhongxing Dynasty.

There is no other reason, because they have no military power in their hands, and they have been played by powerful ministers and generals from beginning to end. Nanming had more than one million armored soldiers, but they were in a situation of attacking each other and going their own way, and they lost a great opportunity to restore the country in vain.

But he Zhu Ping'an is different, from now on, he has already mastered a territory with potential, although it is a place of four wars, but it has the advantage of the sea route, and he can already mobilize a total of more than 20,000 troops, and a not bad sailor to help, it is conceivable that Zhu Ping'an's strength and military strength will expand at an astonishing speed in the future. With such powerful conditions, why not win the world.

But it can be in the future, it doesn't mean that xiàn can. Today, the orthodoxy of China is still the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the Chongzhen Emperor who sits on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City. Zhu Ping'an can't be a blatant network talent, but he can pull these loyal ministers and good generals into the united front formed by himself in a way of loyalty to the king, and advance and retreat together, and when Chongzhen's line is going to be destroyed one after another, and other vassal kings have to bow down to the ministers, then it is the moment when Zhu Ping'an really shines his sword.

This point is just like what Wang Chengen said, "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and follow the trend", which is a truth.

What Zhu Ping'an has to do now is to recruit Lu Zhenfei, Huang Gongfu, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Zizhuang, and Yang Tinglin under his banner in the name of righteousness.

Thinking of this, a trace of joy of success appeared at the corner of Zhu Ping'an's mouth. "Seniors, don't misunderstand, peace is just an inappropriate analogy. For example! ”

Zhu Ping'an's eyes were blazing, and he stared at Chen Zizhuang tightly. Chen Zizhuang is known for his reputation, but his upright character is the most prominent among everyone, as long as he is convinced, others will naturally not be a problem.

"I am in the Ming Dynasty, and the situation in the north is becoming more and more erosive. On the one hand, the rogues are growing stronger, and on the other hand, the Tartars are pressing forward step by step. If it really came to Mo Tian, and the army besieged Jingshi, everyone was well versed in the current situation, and they all knew that what Ping An said was not alarmist. ”

"Your Majesty is stubbornly defending the Beijing Division, Shanxi, the Central Plains, Zhili and other places have fallen into the hands of the enemy, let's talk about it, will there be a possibility of reversal? When the time comes, His Majesty will stick to the Beijing Division, and the divisions of the Qin Kings in various places can only be dispatched from Jiangnan and Lianghuai, can they arrive before the fall of the Beijing Division? ”

Chen Zizhuang's face turned pale. Today's shape is not as good as that of the Yingzong Dynasty, when the Wara soldiers came to the city, but they could not completely surround the Beijing division, especially the Ming Dynasty internal hatred of the enemy, the national strength is still strong, the division of the king of Qin, from Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong gathered together. Even if there is no Yu Qian's main battle and the power to turn the tide, the Wara army may not be able to conquer the Jingshi.

But now it is different, the northern provinces have suffered natural disasters one after another, the people's minds have changed, the officers and troops are fighting fewer and fewer, and the elite divisions are even rarer. If the enemy army really hits the city of Jingshi, it means that the north no longer belongs to the Ming Dynasty completely.

At that time, will a lonely city still be able to hold on? And after that? What about it?

"Throughout the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a thing where the Son of Heaven abandoned Beijing and left. When today's character is strong, he will not do such a thing. If it really comes to the last moment, and all the royal family is trapped in the city, if it ......, then what will happen next? ”

Zhu Ping'an lightly threw this most difficult and sensitive question to everyone, but he closed his mouth and observed everyone's reactions.

Lu Zhenfei opened his mouth first, "When Chongzhen was eight years old, the Tartars entered the Kou, and Hu Wanyi once asked to move the capital to Nanjing, and the chapter was left behind, and after that, Hu Wanyi was impeached by the imperial history and died in the edict prison!" ”

Huang Gongfu continued: "Last year, when the Tartar entered the Kou, there were also officials who asked His Majesty to issue a decree to order the prince to go to Nanjing, and the matter was finally settled!" ”

Zhao Guangluan also said: "This kind of thing is to risk the great disapproval of the world, to say a big disrespectful word, even if Your Majesty has the heart to do this, you can never afford the infamy between the government and the opposition!" ”

Chen Zizhuang was silent.

Zhu Ping'an then continued: "The next words, the kid thought about it again and again, and he didn't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Huang Gongfu said impatiently: "Ping An boy, the words have been said to this point, what else can't be said, just say it, I won't spread a word if I wait for it!" ”

Chen Zizhuang sighed, "Nephew Ping'an, go on!" ”

"Offended!" Zhu Ping'an arched his hand, "Kid make an assumption." If the Jingshi falls, His Majesty and the prince and others will ......! ”

Wang Pin's face was as white as paper, he had already guessed what Zhu Ping'an was going to say next, and even his body couldn't help but tremble.

"The North is in the hands of the enemy! So how should I deal with Jiangnan, Lianghuai, Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan next? ”

"Will there be a situation where each side has its own side?" Zhu Ping'an tried his best to be tactful.

Huang Gongfu said directly, "You still have too many scruples, don't dare to say it, old man." I'm afraid that by then, I don't know how many people will be kings and how many people will be emperors, right? The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are scattered all over the country, and I am afraid that people with a heart will take advantage of the situation to encourage the vassal kings to inherit the unification and fight for themselves to fight for the dragon! ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't expect Huang Gongfu to say it so explicitly, so he could only smile and nodded, "That's what the kid meant!" ”

The words of Zhu Ping'an and Huang Gongfu fully expressed a meaning. That is, if Chongzhen wants to defend the Beijing Division, it can only bring one consequence, and the southern part of the Ming Dynasty will also fall into chaos because of this, and the revival of the country can only be a castle in the air.

The truth is this truth, although Chen Zizhuang and others feel incredible, but they have no way to defend it. And this situation is like a dead knot, and there is no way to untie it.

According to Chongzhen's temper of dying to save face and suffer crimes, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did not form a consensus, and Shangshu asked to move the capital or the prince to the south, but he refused to open this mouth. However, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, out of cherishing feathers, did not dare to propose such a proposal anyway. In this way, a dead circle has been formed, knowing that trapping the Jingshi is a dead end, but no one is willing to bring it up.

Looking at everyone's worried faces and thinking hard about how to solve it, Zhu Ping'an slowly said his solution. "This is not an unsolvable dead end......!"

When everyone heard this, they all raised their heads, and Huang Gongfu was impatient, "Is there any good way to tell it quickly, you are going to kill the old man in a hurry!" ”

Yin Shigang observed the words and looks, and hurriedly took a picture of the Ming Dynasty from the desk next to him. Tear off the wine and food on the table, revealing a large open space, and spread the Kanyu map on the table.

Zhu Ping'an pointed to the map, "Everyone, please look, once the Jingshi is trapped." The imperial court will inevitably issue an edict to all parties to the king. I Dengzhou is only two days away from Tianjin Wei, as long as I arrive in Tianjin Wei, it is only three or two days to arrive in Beijing. I have hundreds of warships of the Denglai Naval Division, which is enough to transport 10,000 elite soldiers to aid the Beijing Division, and as long as I can enter the Beijing Division, I will be 60% sure that His Majesty and the Prince will be rescued. After that, go down the river from Tianjin, arrive in Dengzhou, or take a boat to Jianghuai, and go ashore to Nanjing, so that you can save the national honor for my Ming Dynasty! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then applauded in unison. Chen Zizhuang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then gave Zhu Ping'an a deep salute, "The virtuous nephew is strange, it is the old man who misinterprets the meaning of the virtuous nephew!" ”

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly returned the salute. Lu Zhenfei was relieved, his eyes were full of pride and relief. Huang Gongfu laughed, and threw his hand to Mu Yanzi and Lu Zhenfei again and again, saying that the two had taught a good student.

"Seniors, don't rejoice too early, there is a big difficult thing next!" Zhu Ping'an poured a basin of cold water on the spot.

Everyone was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"You did not take into account the turmoil in Beijing and the time of arrival in Dengzhou. The distance from Dengzhou to Jingshi does not seem to be far away, but the time spent and the difficulties and obstacles encountered are definitely indispensable in this journey. Moreover, there is also His Majesty's attitude towards this matter, in case it takes time to persuade ......! After a long time, changes will take place later, and I am afraid that there will be people in Nanjing and other places who are ready to move. In this world now, there are many people who secretly think about it, but I am afraid that many people will jump out by then. ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all knew that Zhu Ping'an was telling the truth, over the years, the Ming Empire was going downhill, Emperor Chongzhen kept raising the butcher's knife, and the cabinet ministers and governors didn't know how many they had killed, but the trend of party struggle was becoming more and more intense. Correspondingly, military attachés everywhere have unknowingly swelled their power. Today's Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and others are among the leaders, once the war starts, even the commander of the superintendent has to look at their faces and act, and if they don't take care of any of them, these people will pick their sons and leave. When he went into battle, he was afraid of fighting for his life, but when he was talking about his merits after the war, he was scrambling to be the first.

These people, plus the feudal officials who hold power in various places, if they learn that there is a change in the capital division, I am afraid that strange thoughts will arise in the middle of the mind.

"What's this afraid of!" Chen Zizhuang stood up suddenly, and pointed at Lu Zhenfei, Huang Gongfu and others with his hand, "Seeing that Brother Bai and Brother Zhenxi are now in charge of Jianghuai and Hubei military affairs respectively, they have not only male soldiers, but also regional and personnel power. As long as we wait for one heart, wait for the nephew of Ping An Xian to rescue His Majesty or the prince from the capital, we will tell the world, explain the determination to protect my Ming orthodoxy, even if there are young people who take the opportunity to make waves, they will never dare to oppose us at the same time, as long as we and other people work together, I will have the hope of continuation! ”

Zhu Ping's eyes lit up, and he applauded violently, "Mr. Jisheng!" ”

Chen Zizhuang stretched out a palm, "In this case, we will take this opportunity today to swear to support His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is any repentance, people and gods will be angry!" How is it? ”

"Good!" Everyone agreed in unison, stretched out their hands, and shook them together.

Wang Pin on the side trembled with excitement, and his face suddenly turned from white to red. R1152
