Looking at Anping Castle in his line of sight, which became clearer and clearer, Zheng Kezang's heart fluctuated. The scenes of the past are vividly emerging in front of his eyes, the loving Chen Zhaoniang, the Zheng Jing who shields himself from the wind and rain, the Chen Yonghua who is always resolute, the treacherous Feng Xifan, the stubborn Liu Guoxuan, and Dong Guotai****, who can't remember his face. Zheng Kezang, who knew that he was almost unlikely to revisit his hometown again, was a little homesick for a while.
"The ministers welcome the king back to his hometown." Zheng Kezang's feet had just stepped on the ground of Anping Port, and Zheng Ming, Zheng Cong, Zheng Keshuang, Zheng Keju and other clan relatives who accompanied Zheng Kezhang to worship his father and ancestors came early in the morning, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials in Dongning, bowed down one after another. "King Shang Chitose, Long Live Great Xia, Long live, Long live, Long live!"
Zheng Kezang waved his hand with great interest: "Get up, today Lone returns to Anping, half happy and half sad, the master said that the deceased is like Sifu, if you want to be the king of the past, Lone is full of emotion." β
Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang ordered: "Lonely, if you are unhappy, you will be left by Qin She to accompany Lone to revisit Anping, and the other Qing families will disperse first, and in the coming day, Lone will drink and laugh with Qing and the others." β
A group of courtiers retreated with interest, and Zheng Keju, who was also the son of Zheng Jing, shot a jealous light in his eyes at this time, but unfortunately there was no way, he was born too late, and the age difference between him and Zheng Kezhang was too much, almost the next generation, so the relationship with Zheng Kezhang was far less close than Zheng Keshuang, who once supported each other.
However, Zheng Keshuang did not think that it was an honor to accompany Zheng Kezhang to visit Anping City again, although he finally grew up under Zheng Kezang's care, but Zheng Keshuang, who grew up, was very afraid of Zheng Kezang earlier because he was afraid that his identity as a sister-in-law would threaten Zheng Kezang's throne and cause accidents, and then Zheng Kezang's position became more and more stable, but the stronger momentum on his body also made Zheng Kezhang sit on pins and needles every time he met. This made Zheng Keshuang seem to return to the years when the two of them held hands.
Zheng Keshuang's psychology Zheng Kezhang didn't know, I saw him walking while asking Zheng Keshuang, who was half of his body after falling: "Qin She, do you remember those things back then?" Hey, what are you doing here, no matter the monarch or the minister today, they are all wanderers, you come up and go together, I still have a lot to say to you****??"
The news of Zheng Kezang's decision to come to Ming was not a secret, and it was already known to the whole country long before he left for the south. Regardless of whether the people in Jinghu, Fujian, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang were overjoyed or secretly scolded, as the news spread from Zhengkong District, all parties also had different reactions.
The Qing court quickly expressed to the Ming and Zheng sides through negotiation envoys that they were happy to see Zheng Kezang on behalf of the Ming, and hoped that after the establishment of the Great Xia state, the two sides could make an agreement as a brotherly state, and each other would use the existing actual control line as the boundary, and stop the war and trade and repair. In order to achieve this goal, the Qing court envoy even hinted that the prefectures of Runing, Henan, which had become chicken ribs, could be handed over to Zheng Fang.
Zheng Fang naturally understood the Qing court's intentions, and in fact, through a number of secret spies, the news that the large and small artillery produced by Dai Zi was constantly equipped with firearms battalions inside and outside the Eight Banners, the New Army of the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion of the new battalion system were being quickly reorganized into Zheng Fan. But like the Qing court, which was also struggling with the deficit, Zheng Fan did not get out of the financial cliff, and the same shyness in the bag restricted the possibility of a war between the two sides, so knowing that the other party was implementing a plan to delay the army, Zheng Fan also had to make corresponding statements, so the two sides successively reached an agreement on mutual markets in Zijing Pass, Zhengyang, Yingshang, and Qingjiangpu. The Qing court exchanged herbs, furs, cattle and sheep, trona and other goods from the north for silk, cotton cloth, pearl jade, foreign goods and other goods from the south, and the two sides exchanged ideas, and an illusory peace temporarily came.
Of course, the peace between Qing and Zheng does not include Sichuan, and with the variable of the Ming army in eastern Sichuan, it is impossible to give up the large province of Sichuan, and the two sides are always on the verge of misfire.
"Lord Jianguo, although Jiannu is our great enemy, but Zheng is about to rebel, and we can't sit still."
In the first year of Taishun of the Ming Dynasty and the 37th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, on November 22, after learning that the south was about to change, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty and the general of Chengdu Sang Er jointly proposed to Beijing. The arrival of the Qing envoy naturally caused controversy within the Zhu Qi Ming army, which was dominated by the thirteen families in eastern Sichuan. In fact, the Ming army in the eastern Sichuan Dynasty, which was caught between the Qing and Zheng dynasties, had fierce internal contradictions after repeated outreach failures, and everyone knew that this situation of separating one side could not last long, but how to break the situation was a matter of opinion.
One of them hit it off with the Qing envoy's suggestion: "The minister thought that if the Qing court was willing to hand over Qiongzhou, Meizhou, Shunqing and other places to us, he might be able to sit back and watch the Qing and Zheng soldiers meet each other." β
"It's really a good idea to sit back and watch Qinglu and Zheng Wei lose both." Naturally, the opponents sneered. "But I don't think this idea is clever, we should take advantage of Zheng Rei's full strength to deal with the Qing army and go south to seize Zunyi, so that there is Kuimen in the east and Loushan Pass in the south, and then as long as you are determined to go west, you can include the whole Sichuan."
The strong mocking tone made the person who raised yΓ¬ face blue: "Lord Liu said it well, this is the best result we want to strive for." β
"Nonsense, Zheng Shun is certainly a thief of the country, but the Qing Lu is a well-dressed clan that has killed me, and he is a traitor with his wolf, and you are not afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren." The person who spoke clearly had a bitter hatred with the Qing court. "Say a thousand, say ten thousand, I won't join forces with the Tartars to kill their own people."
"Zhao Tiegun, do you want to vote for Zheng Rebellion, what kind of yourself, you are your own person with stealing national power!" Since the other party took the lead in shouting the gangsters, this side naturally has to return the color. "Besides, you don't know the news from the east, the rebels have stopped the Northern Expedition in order to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne and are hooking up with the Tartars, they can do the first year of junior high school, why can't we do the fifteenth." The speaker swept the audience. "And we didn't join forces with the Tartars to deal with the Zheng family, we just sat and watched."
"The question now is whether the Tartars can attack Yunnan in one go." The Ming army's occupation of the Chongqing line had blocked the Qing army's road from Zunyi to Guizhou, so the Qing army could only enter Wumeng (Zhaotong) through the GuΓ² Luzhou and Yongning lines. "If the Tartars can attack Yunnan in one go, we may be able to take advantage of the gap to sweep the whole Sichuan, if the Tartars and Zheng Wei hold each other on the Sichuan-Yunnan border, or if we are worried that we will be stabbed in the back and stop our troops, then we will be in danger."
The neutral's words sobered up both sides of the heated debate, yes, once the Zheng army was driven out of Sichuan, the goal of the Qing army next was self-evident, so when even someone shouted: "My mother, isn't this a dead knot?" β
"It's not a dead knot." Someone on the side who advocated Lianqing stood up. "In order to prevent the Qing captives from attacking us, we can take advantage of the Qing Zheng War to attack Zunyi, but the purpose of attacking Zunyi is not to choke the road for the Zheng army to attack eastern Sichuan, but to open the gate to Qiangui in the south." The man seduced. "As long as you can seize Qiangui, it will be equivalent to breaking the game, and it doesn't matter if you lose Chuandong when the time comes."
"Losing the rich land in eastern Sichuan to Guizhou, a place where birds don't, is this called breaking the game?" Someone quit. "Sweeping Qiangui, it's easy to say, wouldn't that make us face Zheng Rebellious's soldiers." The man shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, this is equivalent to us for the Tartar fire, the fire or something."
"Lord Sun Mountain." The person on the side immediately mentioned something. "This sentence should be taken from the fire."
"That's right! Be a cat's paw. Lord Sun scolded and shouted at the side where TiyΓ¬ went south. When the time comes, the Tartars will stab us in the back again, and break the game? I think it's a broken family to be real. β
"Maybe you can ask the Tartars to exchange Yunnan for eastern Sichuan." Seeing that everyone began to agree with Sun Shanzhu's opinion, the people who advocated Lianqing going south immediately changed their tune. "I want to come to Jiannu's biggest enemy is Zheng Wei, the enemy is current, they shouldn't be entangled with us for just a few corners, when the time comes, we will sit on Yunnan and Guizhou, that's what a country looks like."
Sitting in Yunnan and Guizhou and peeking into Guangxi, this temptation is not small, but when the tongue of the Lianqing side has not yet moved everyone, they heard an extremely strong cough from Zhu Qi in the seat, and everyone looked over in shock, only to see that the nominal leader had fainted, and the young clan who claimed to have been picked up from the east by Zhu Qi was pounced on him and cried.
Zhu Qi can't do it? Everyone present was nervous for a while, and everyone was worried, if the seventy-old and eighty-year-old Zhu died on the spot, would the young clan alone still be able to maintain the group of the Ming Army? If this group can't be maintained, and everything I just said is empty, what will everyone do at that time?
The dazed crowd sent Zhu Qi to the backyard and watched the doctor apply medicine. Finally, Zhu Qi woke up slowly, and everyone who breathed a sigh of relief left Xingzai.
Not to mention how everyone with their own thoughts thought about their own back path, the sober Zhu Qi called the young man in front of him: "I didn't expect that bringing you here from the east would actually harm you." β
The young clan looked at Zhu Qian's weak gesture and tears rained down, and Zhu Qian turned to several of his cronies and said: "Once you die alone and eastern Sichuan falls apart, when the time comes, you just have to send someone to ask Zheng Cheng to surrender, if you want to be able to win Chongqing without a fight, Zheng Cheng will definitely not embarrass you, maybe there will be a reward, I just hope that you will save this child's life at that time." β
Zhu Qi has been exhausted to the limit of his energy for a long time, but he still refuses to stop after taking a few breaths: "There is no good end to surrendering to the Qing captives, as for surrendering Zheng Yi, Lone has dealt with King Xia, he should not be a tyrant, and he may be able to keep my Zhu family's lineage, but there is a case, so please hide this child in the rivers and lakes****??"
