Although the eastern capital of Ming Jingchengtianfu is the real capital of Taiwan, in fact, the Anping town where the Zheng family lives is the real political center of Taiwan, and this ancient castle rebuilt from the Dutch occupation period is already crowded with people, and almost all the civil and military officials of the Ming and Zheng regimes gathered here. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
The first person on the left is Chen Yonghua, who was later regarded as the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society, the general doctor, the counselor of the army, and the imperial history of the supervising army, but compared with the image of Chen Jinnan who is able to write and martial arts in the folk rumors, the real appearance of Chen Yonghua, who is nearly forty years old, is as follows the Confucian. Moreover, the reason why Chen Yonghua can be respected as "Zheng's Zhuge Liang" is only because he is good at internal affairs, and the military strategy of Ming and Zheng has nothing to do with him.
Chen Yonghua's side is the official (note: equivalent to the official servant) Hong Lei, Hong Lei is the son of Zhu Chenggong's general Hong Xu, Hong Xu had a merit in preserving Zheng Jing back then, so thanks to his father's shadow, Hong Lei can be regarded as the central minister of Ming Zheng today.
Next to Hong Lei is the household official Yang Ying and his brother Yang Xian, the engineer of the same clan, the two Yang are both old soldiers from Rong Town, and their tempers have always been hot, and they are not willing to quarrel with them lightly.
Yang Xian's side is the criminal officer Ke Ping and the ceremonial officer Ye Heng, these two people are also from the background of the town general, and they have always been good friends on weekdays, but Ye Heng's body and bones have been very different in recent years, and Ke Ping is also over fifty years old, so it is estimated that the resignation is also overnight, and the reason why he is still in the hall now is just Zhu Jin's old man.
As Zhu Jin's real assistant in military and politics, although he has no way to be promoted to a military officer immediately because of his qualifications, he can stand side by side with the older generation in the palace at this moment shows that he is in Zhu Jin's heart, and with this favor as a guarantee, his promotion is also a matter of time.
The position opposite Chen Yonghua was originally Zhou Quanbin, the government of the Fifth Army, but Zhou Quanbin had to surrender to the Qing court because Zhu Jin was not calm in dealing with Zheng Tai, so this position was vacant.
The military attache of the head of the five armies is vacant, and the post of commander of each army is also vacant, so Liu Guoxuan, Chen Wenhuan, He You, Xu Yao, Hong Yu, Xue Jinsi and other cadres of the general army and town generals can stand on the palace.
These are all wearing vermilion purple, as for Zheng Xingying of the Chengxuan Division, Chen Tingzhang of the Chayan Division, Feng Xiqi of the Trial Division, Li Jing of the Reward Division, Xu Mingting of the Zhongshu Division, and the superintendents, supervisors and six departments of each town are all important because of the matter, this time they are not heard of at all, but Feng Xifan, the guard who stood at the gate of the palace with a sword as a guard, also took the opportunity to squeeze into the ranks of important ministers.
However, when it comes to Feng Xifan, don't use ordinary guards to measure, he is actually Zhu Jin's pro-army leader, and he also participates in the planning of some heavy military aircraft on weekdays, and his power is so great that even the first-class guards in the Manchu palace can't be compared.
"The king has arrived!" The attendants shouted, and with this announcement, everyone from Chen Yonghua and down was tidying up their clothes so as not to lose their manners. After a while, Zhu Jin appeared in the eyes of the ministers, only to see him pick up the steps and walk up the Danqi to sit on the throne, the ministers just wanted to call for a thousand years old, but they unexpectedly saw Zhu Jin dragging a small tail behind him. Everyone was stunned for a while, but Chen Yonghua was able to act at the opportunity, and immediately woke everyone up with a light cough, and then completed the due ceremony.
For the unexpected cold scene just now, Zhu Jin just smiled, and then asked Zheng Kezhang to sit beside him, and when he saw his son sitting down, Zhu Jin, who was wearing a light yellow Tuanhua five-dragon robe, asked sincerely with a humble posture: "Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing has read the letter presented by Huang Yong, the envoy of the Geng Domain, how do you think Gu should reply?" ”
"Your Majesty, Geng Rebellious and Loyal was forced by the Tatar chieftain Kangxi Xiaoer's policy of cutting the domain, and he had to join forces with Wu Rebellious Sangui to rebel, the so-called anti-Qing and Ming restoration is just a cover for his desire to secession, and the king must not take advantage of it."
"Your Majesty, what Lord Yang said is biased." Hong Lei obviously disagreed with Yang Ying's statement. "Although Geng rebels and Jingzhong want the king to take advantage of the fire, but this is not a good opportunity for our army to return to the mainland, and the combat power of the Eight Banners has dropped sharply after entering the customs, and it is the power of the three feudatories to take Jiangnan, Huguang, and Yungui that can be taken.
"Wu Sangui went out of Yungui to attack Sichuan and Huguang, Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixin and his son could attack Jiangxi, Geng Jingzhong wanted to Zhejiang, but I want to ask Lord Hong, where can our army take the western expedition, and where will we get a piece of the pie?" Ke Ping retorted. "They just want to borrow the combat power of our army, but as for the territory, they may not be willing to give it."
"Didn't you say that Geng Jingzhong promised our army to use the coastal warships of Fujian." The military department praised Chen Shenwu from another angle to consider the pros and cons of this matter. "Are you afraid that you won't have any territory if you have a ship? Besides, it's not bad that Wu Sangui can fight this, and Geng Jingzhong can fight back, otherwise how could he think of us? ”
"Zuo is just afraid that our fisherman will make a profit, so he will give him a knife in the back." Ye Heng pursed his lips disapplauded. "If he is really willing to work with our army, why don't you see that he has the intention of coming to Taiwan to pay homage to the prison country in person."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent. Is Ye Heng's statement reasonable? Of course! There are still many members of the Ming Dynasty clan in Taiwan, what do you Geng Jingzhong say about opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, is it really as dangerous as entering a tiger's den to meet Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing, who is the prison of the country? Obviously not, you must know that Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng were so troubled in the world, and finally they were forgiven and became the famous generals of the Yongli Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, you Geng Jingzhong is not a son inheriting his father's business, and there is not too much killing, and now he has woken up, how can he not be forgiven by the Ming Dynasty clans who have no way out. But it makes sense, but in fact it is not the case, even Zhu Jin, who claims to be a general and the king of Yanping County, has a lot of disobedience to Zhu Shugui, and how can he expect Geng Jingzhong, who also has a ghost in his heart, to run to Taiwan to give in.
For Ye Heng's gaffe, Zhu Jin, who was Chinese New Year's Eve three years old at the time, smiled generously, at this moment he was ambitious, and he did not have the decadence after repeated defeats, only to see him chuckle and then turn his eyes to Wuchen's side: "Liu Qing, He Qing, and tell me your opinions." ”
"The minister thinks it's better to accept Geng Jingzhong's advice and send troops." Liu Guoxuan and He You glanced at each other, and then answered. "Although it is said that Dongning has been developed since the first king regained his rules, but after all, it has only been more than ten years, and the full household registration is only 150,000, and the land is only 18,000 jia (note: one jia is about 0.996 hectares), if you watch the war between the three feudatories and the Tartars, no matter who loses or wins, our army will not be able to please, if you return to the mainland and occupy more state capitals, there will be room for maneuver."
"Lord Liu, what if the three feudatories don't want to give me territory?" Copin held on to his assertions. "Is that going to be a fight with Geng Jingzhong?"
"If Geng Jingzhong knows each other, it's fine, if he doesn't know each other, he has to do one."
"Wouldn't that make the Tartar a fisherman?" Ye Heng was also unimpressed. "And when the time comes, there will be enemies on all sides, but Lord Liu has completely thought about it?"
"What's so fearful about being surrounded by enemies on all sides." Chen Shenwu helped. "Aren't we all enemies on all sides now? Besides, there is an army of Tartars in front, and the servants don't believe it, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin dare to ignore their heads. If you take another 10,000 steps back, you will retreat to Taiwan when the time comes, and you will be blocked by a vast sea, and you are afraid that they will not be able to chase after you? ”
"This?" Zhu Jin looked at Chen Yonghua with an inquiring gaze. "What do you think of Chen Qing?"
"Ten years of savings, our army may be able to fight." From the perspective of later generations, Chen Yonghua is actually similar to Zhuge Liang, both of whom are figures with high political strategy and slightly lower military, and the reason why he agreed to fight was another consideration. "It's just best to work together with Geng and Shang Erfan in order to break the Tartars' blockade on the coast."
As soon as he heard Chen Yonghua mention the boundary sealing order, Yang Ying, who was in charge of the household department, also changed his original opinion: "In this way, it is imperative to send troops, but it is best to contact the five mountains and five seas first." ”
The five mountains and five seas are also known as the five merchants and ten directions, of which the five merchants of the mountain road are located in Hangzhou of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five merchants of the sea road refer to the five commercial houses of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith and five merchants located in Xiamen. In the future, the people attached it to the ten incense halls of the Heaven and Earth Society, but unlike later speculation that it was founded by Chen Yonghua, the original presiding officer was Zhu Jin's cousin Zheng Tai, and the purpose was not to spy on the sabotage of the intelligence organization but to raise funds for Zheng Jun. It was only after Zheng Tai was killed by Zhu Jin and the Qing court implemented a boundary seal order to prohibit pieces from going to the sea, Wushan Wuhai gradually broke away from the Zheng family after the makeover, and later combined with the "Hanliu" Hongmen founded by Zhu Chenggong to form the predecessor of the so-called Tiandihui.
"That?" Seeing that Chen Yonghua, who was the minister of his humerus, also agreed to send troops, Zhu Jin had actually made a decision, but he suddenly looked at Zheng Kezang. "Does Qin She understand?"
The ministers were in an uproar, it was rude for Zhu Jin to let the teenage boy go to the palace together, and now he asked the little doll's opinion, could it be that it was a national event and asked the stinky child? However, the people present are all human spirits, and the person who maintains the discipline of the palace is not in the matter, so despite the constant slander, no one will have the insight to discuss with Zhu Jin.
"Erchen understands." Zheng Kezhang nodded. "A few adults are talking about it, do you want to take the opportunity to send troops to fight against the Tartars."
Zhu Jin was very satisfied with his son's answer, so he asked again: "Then Qin She thinks he should send troops?" ”
"My son doesn't know if he should send troops or not," the ministers were relieved, but the next words left them dumbfounded. "But why go to Fujian? Yu seems to have heard the story of his grandfather's fight in Nanjing, why didn't his father learn from his grandfather to take Zhoushan first, and then go down to Nanzhili? ”
Zhu Jin was dumbfounded, and Zheng Kezang's reaction completely exceeded his expectations: "Zhoushan, Nanzhili." ”
That's right, the wealth of Nanzhili is not comparable to the poor mountain pass of Fujian, and there is no need to worry about the territory problem that Ke Ping has been emphasizing just now, so for a while Zhu Jin was in a trance and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and at this time he heard Ke Ping congratulate: "Your Majesty, Yuanzi is smart by nature, and it is the blessing of this domain." ”
The people on the side felt that Ke Ping was shameless, and actually won Zhu Jin's joy by touting a little doll, but he didn't like it, and all the courtiers still congratulated him one by one, but Zhu Jin waved his hand: "A twelve-year-old child occasionally says one or two sentences right, it's not worth waiting for Qing to wait for this, or just talk about the facts, and talk about whether it is feasible to only take Nanzhili?" ”
"The minister thought that Yuanzi's words were still debatable," Chen Shenwu glanced at Zheng Kezang, and said in his heart, if the idea of this kid of yours can be implemented, what do you want to wait for the strategists to do, it is based on this idea that Chen Shenwu raised an objection. "Now there are Geng Jingzhong's soldiers in front of this domain, this domain can not face the captives, on the contrary, if this domain directly takes the south of Zhili, it is the domain for Geng Jingzhong to cover up, and the art of war says, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, Taiwan to the south of the sea route is far away, the supply is not easy, once frustrated, it is not appropriate to return to the division!"
Zhu Jin thought about it, and did feel that there was some reason, he looked at the Wuchen side again, and saw that Liu Guoxuan and the others were also shaking their heads frequently, so he made a decision: "Liu Guoxuan, Chen Shenwu, Er and the others, and first from the sailors and the towns of Lou Chuan to prepare for use, and then transfer thousands of troops to choose a day to hunt in Jinxia with Gu Xidu and Geng Jingzhong."
