Fuzhou.

The streets are bustling with people, and the shops on both sides are filled with all kinds of goods, including sandalwood from Nanyang, deerskin from Taiwan, Japanese swords, silk from Huzhou, and even ginseng from Liaodong.

Merchants from Shanxi brought goods from Saibei and Liaodong into the Ming Dynasty, and when ginseng, mink and other goods became popular among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the children of the squires in Fujian did not hesitate to buy them with a lot of money.

Two rows of streets can be seen in a few steps to see a teahouse, Fujian people can not live without tea for a day.

Liu Suifeng leaned against the window on the second floor and looked down, muttering mockingly: "It's so lively!" "Without Zhedong defending against the Qing troops in front, how could Fujian be so peaceful.

He has been here for two days, and he did not catch up with the enthronement ceremony of the Tang King, and he did not rush to meet the Tang King, so he first inquired about who the cabinet in the court was and what the Zheng family had to say.

After sitting here alone drinking tea and waiting for more than half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs outside, and a middle-aged Humpty Dumpty man wearing a white silk shirt and black satin pants walked up.

The man looked left and right, his eyes passed through the open door, fell on Liu Suifeng, crossed the threshold in a few big strides, closed the wooden door with his backhand, and arched his hand: "Mr. Liu, I've kept you waiting." ”

Liu Suifeng got up and saluted: "Zhang Dongjia, look up for a long time!" ”

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and the short and fat man smiled flatteringly and said, "I received a letter from Liu Dongjia the day before yesterday, and I was waiting for Mr. to come to Fuzhou." "He is a business partner of the business alliance, and the wealth of the family is in the hands of Liu Quan, I heard that this person is Liu Quan's brother, of course he has to please as much as he wants.

"I just arrived in Fuzhou, but unfortunately I didn't catch up with the Tang King to ascend the throne!" The willow showed a slight regret with the wind.

"That's a pity!"

Zhang Dongjia was faintly proud, and even the people in the market knew that the Tang King was supported by the Fujian people.

"I heard that His Majesty has recruited many famous people from Fujian to join the cabinet!"

"Of course!" Zhang Dongjia became more and more elated, "There are Huang Daozhou, Jiang Dejing, Su Guansheng, Huang Mingjun......" He counted with his fingers, counted two hands, frowned and said to himself: "One is twenty-four, why do I only remember twenty." ”

Recruiting so many people into the cabinet is something that the Ming Dynasty has never done, and the Tang King really took great pains to get the support of the Min people.

"That's a lot!" Liu Suifeng sneered, "There are so many people, why don't there be Zheng Zhilong?" ”

He was laughing at King Tang when he said this, but he didn't expect Zhang Dongjia to hear it, so he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Haven't you heard?" A few days ago, when the class was in the court, Zhenhai Hou wanted to rank before the officials, but he was reprimanded by the scholar Huang Daozhou, and the Ming Dynasty had no practice before the ministers arranged the civil officials since ancient times, and it was immediately fried in the court. ”

Liu Suifeng's heart moved, and asked, "Did I hear that His Majesty is going to go on a Northern Expedition?" ”

Zhang Dongjia nodded again and again, and his voice became quieter, "Your Majesty wants to go on a northern expedition, but the Marquis of Zhenhai is reluctant to fight, I heard that the scholar Huang Dao Zhouqi can't eat anything, so he wants to lead his troops to the Northern Expedition." ”

Listening to Zhang Dongjia's introduction, combined with the rumors of the past few days, Liu Suifeng has a number in his heart.

The two talked for more than an hour, and Liu Suifeng did everything in detail, and inquired clearly about the life of Fuzhou before and after King Tang's accession to the throne.

Seeing off Zhang Dong's house, he leisurely walked through the lively streets and walked towards the business name of Shangmeng. Fuzhou is now not only Fuzhou, but also called Tianxing Mansion, which is the name of the Tang King after he ascended the throne.

Just like Nanjing is called Yingtianfu, and Beijing is called Shuntianfu.

"Tianxing Mansion?" Liu whispered all the way with the wind, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc. Anyone who sees his demeanor can immediately understand his attitude towards King Tang.

Liu Suifeng was Zhai Zhe's secret envoy, but he did not come to make a pilgrimage to the Tang King, so it was impossible to make a big fanfare, so as not to provoke the news in eastern Zhejiang and make people panic. After hearing the recent rumors, he gave up his plan to contact Zheng Zhilong first.

Zhedong can't take any benefits to exchange with Zheng Zhilong now, the future of Bingjiangnan is unknown, with Zheng's attitude towards the Tang King, like letting him soldier, it is difficult!

Every year in July, it is the time when the heat is unbearable. But these days, there are a lot of people on the streets of Fuzhou, and you can often see men in brocade clothes with foreign accents. Guangdong, Yunnan, Shanxi, and Huguang all sent envoys for the Hajj, and in addition to eastern Zhejiang, all places that still belonged to the Ming Dynasty recognized the accession of the Tang king to the throne.

In the middle of the afternoon, the hottest part of the day has just passed.

In the back garden of the newly conquered imperial palace in Fuzhou, the little eunuch standing in the shade of the tree waiting, looking at the new emperor in the pavilion not far away, and did not dare to blink his eyelids.

At this time, sitting quietly in the gazebo to nourish his heart, it should not be so hot and dry anymore, but Zhu Yujian is not small.

He held a copy of the fold in his right hand, unconsciously tapped it on his knee a few times, and looked at the pool next to the gazebo, but soon withdrew his gaze and unfolded the fold again, looking down word by word, for fear of missing a little information.

This is Liu Zhongzao's recital to Zhu Dadian after he asked Zhu Dadian in Jinhua to understand the shape of eastern Zhejiang.

"Regain Hangzhou! This is a big victory that has never been won against Qing Yu! ”

Zhu Yujian admired, suddenly looked excited, and suddenly showed hidden worries. When he turned his face, he saw the koi fish roaming freely in the lotus pond, which reminded him of the days when he was imprisoned in the high walls of the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum a few years ago.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, that is, the year when Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the governor of Xuanda, he heard that the Qing captives had entered the Koujing Division, and he scattered his wealth in Nanyang, recruited the rebels, and prepared to go to Beijing Qinwang. However, for violating the ban of the vassal king not to recruit troops and horses and not to leave the fiefdom, he was impeached by the courtiers and imprisoned in the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum for seven years.

By the day he saw the light of day again, the sky of Daming had changed.

This was followed by King Fu's ascension to the throne in Nanjing, and the capture of Jiangnan in less than a year was achieved. He fled into Fujian with Huang Daozhou and others, because his fief had been in Nanyang, and the courtiers who accompanied him thought of Emperor Guangwu of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, and elected him as a supervisor a month ago, and ascended the throne as emperor four days earlier.

"Zhai Zhe!"

When Zhu Yujian first heard this name, it was accompanied by Lu Xiangsheng's life to the story of the giant deer, and he sacrificed his life to save him, but unfortunately he had no friendship with Lu Xiangsheng.

"The person who can sacrifice his life for Lu Xiangsheng, and the person who can stand up against the shaving order, of course, is a bloody man who is loyal to the monarch and the country, but he just saved King Lu."

In the past few days, there have been rebels from all over southern Anhui who have resisted the shaving order, begging Fujian soldiers and horses to go on a northern expedition to support the war situation in southern Anhui, and he told Zheng Zhilong several times that the Marquis of Zhenhai was pretending to be stupid and unwilling to fight.

"If Zheng Zhilong can be like Zhai Zhe, why worry about immortality." Zhu Yujian put away the folds, and regretted in his heart, if he had issued an edict to eastern Zhejiang immediately when he was appointed as a prisoner, there would have been no change in the fact that King Lu was also appointed as a prisoner, but at that time, all the provinces in eastern Zhejiang had fallen.

Although there cannot be two masters in the country, the most important thing is to fight against the Qing captives at the moment.

Zhu Yujian sorted out his thoughts, "Wait for Liu Zhongzao to come back and see what to do, the best result is, of course, King Lu retire from prison." ”

He thought beautifully, in his opinion, this was not a pipe dream, almost all the provincial capitals belonging to the Ming Dynasty were on the table, and King Lu should know how to do it as long as he was not too greedy and stupid.

Of course, King Lu knew what to do.

Whoever sits in this position knows how to do it...... That is to sit forever.

Some things are in a hurry, the weather in Fuzhou is still so hot, Zhai Zhe hid in Chongming Island, and Liu Suifeng went to the teahouse in Fuzhou every day to drink tea.

Liu Zhongzao was running on the mountain road from Zhejiang to Fujian, and every time he arrived in Fu County, he immediately changed horses, and it took six days to return to Fuzhou from Shaoxing. After arriving in Fuzhou, he didn't care about resting, went home to wash off the stinky sweat all over his body, changed his clothes, and went straight to the palace.

Hearing that Liu Zhongzao was back, Zhu Yujian couldn't take care of eating, so he immediately ordered to be summoned. When Jin Yiwei went out of the palace gate, he happened to see Liu Zhongzao rushing over, and these two people were really a monarch and a minister.

The little eunuch led Liu Zhongzao into the palace, and Zhu Yujian finished lunch.

The so-called imperial palace in Fuzhou is actually a deep courtyard jointly donated by local officials and gentry, which is very simple. Before the enthronement ceremony, some courtiers wanted to build the palace, but Zhu Yujian did not approve it. Now he can't live in a gorgeous mansion, and the Northern Expedition is the first priority in his heart.

Liu Zhongzao leaned over and greeted: "Knock to see Your Majesty!" "When I left, I was still the king of Tang, and when I returned, I was already the emperor.

Zhu Yujian leaned forward and said in a hurried tone: "Aiqing is flat!" He made no secret of his anxiety.

Liu Zhongzao stood up, coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Weichen went to Ningshao this time, saw that the war situation in eastern Zhejiang was thriving, blocked the capture in Hangzhou, and marched to Songjiang Mansion by sea. ”

Zhu Yujian showed an unbelievable look and asked, "Is the army in eastern Zhejiang so strong?" ”

Liu Zhongzao nodded and replied: "Before I arrived at Ningshao, I originally thought that after Zhedong took Hangzhou by sneak attack, it must also be struggling to support, after all, the Qing capture of Jiangnan was like a rainbow. But when I got there, I realized that the shape shì was far from the same. ”

"Ningshao Town not only held Hangzhou, but also had **** to spare, Shipu guerrilla Zhang Mingzhen had already attacked Chongming Island from the waterway. Ning Shao's chief soldier Zhai Zhe, that is, the king of Lu Feng Yue Guogong, used soldiers like a god, and with the help of Zhejiang General Soldier Fang Guoan and Wusong General Soldier Wang Zhiren, it turned out to be a small climate. ”

Liu Zhongzao was so excited that he didn't notice that Zhu Yujian's face became a little solemn.

"He actually marched into Chongming Island! Sure enough, there is sharpness! Zhu Yujian regretted in his heart, such a vigorous and famous general was under the account of King Lu. The better the situation in eastern Zhejiang, the more unfavorable it is for him, if King Lu is thick, his position in Fujian may not be stable, but unfortunately Zheng Zhilong cannot be used by him.

"Wechen once saw Zhai Zhe in Xiaoshan Xingying."

Liu Zhongzao finally got to the point, and Zhu Yujian swallowed a mouthful of spit, his eyes wide.

When it came to the key place, Liu Zhongzao slowed down, "On the third day he saw me, he sent troops to Chongming Island, saying that the affairs of the government would be handled by his own cabinet." ”

Zhu Yujian's eyes seemed to be lit with a flame, this is to leave a living mouth!

Just like the lost treasure was picked up and sent back, he was in a good mood, and said in a low voice: "Zhai Zhe can recover Hangzhou, and Feng Gong can also do it!" After a moment of careful reflection, he asked: "What did the Wenchen of Eastern Zhejiang say?" ”

Liu Zhongzao recalled what he had seen and heard in Shaoxing during his two days, and replied: "Cabinet scholar Jinhua Zhu Dadian is willing to return to His Majesty, Fu Zhang Guowei is unwilling to abdicate King Lu, and Ma Shiying is also in Shaoxing. ”
