Supporting the merit of being favored by the new master, or standing in the right position, and keeping the peace behind him, whether it is ancient or modern, is extremely important for the courtiers.

Zhu Yongxing is mediocre and incompetent, so that's it. On the contrary, he is not only talented, but also courageous, and his credit is also increasing, but the influence of Myanmar's Yongli is declining, which has to make the officials and generals have different thoughts.

Those who obeyed Zhu Yongxing and obeyed Zhu Yongxing were gradually promoted and reused, and inevitably formed a force, hoping to be more prosperous. For this purpose, they naturally did not want Zhu Yongxing to fall into power.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, if the leader changes, it is inevitable that a group of cronies will be reused and a group of enemies will be purged. It's still good to denounce, and together with the big prison, these loyal followers of Zhu Yongxing are not surprised that their families are ruined. Therefore, for the sake of their own net worth and future, they must support Zhu Yongxing. It is not yet possible to talk about plotting the dynasty to usurp the throne, but it is normal to consolidate the power and not make Zhu Yongxing retreat.

In this regard, Zhu Yongxing can also feel it more and more. He is no longer alone, he has a family, relatives, and cronies, so he has to think about them. As his power grows, it will be difficult for him to retreat even if he wants to, and this momentum will push him forward, whether he wants to or not.

Flag, call to ...... Zhu Yongxing is in the mountains and does not know the mountains, and he does not understand his current energy very exactly, and he still has great doubts about the Yongli and the small court in Myanmar. Today's words made him start to re-examine the situation he was in.

For the Qing Dynasty, there is nothing else to say, just one word "hit", simple! For Yongli and the small court, it is a more difficult matter to deal with. Especially when the forces of all parties are still under the banner of Yongli and are not completely attributed to themselves.

Righteousness, this thing can't be seen or touched, but it has to be wanted. To use strong means is to seek to usurp the throne. The split of the anti-Qing forces was inevitable; Using gentle means, he was worried that under a holy decree, he would fall into a dilemma between loyal and unrebellious ministers.

Or it can be used at the same time as force and gentleness, first forcing Yongli to cede power, and then forcing it to give way, so as to solve this problem by peaceful means. But it is indeed a little difficult to operate, Yongli is weak, but there are still some strong so-called loyal ministers around him, and they will not be so obedient. And. Myanmar's attitude is also one of the factors to be taken into account.

Zhu Yongxing has repeatedly thought about what happened in history and is a little confused by Myanmar's approach. Before the Qing court exerted pressure, the Ming army had entered Burma several times to meet them, swords and guns were facing each other, and the Burmese suffered heavy casualties, but why did they force Yongli to stay? Now the situation is different, the Ming army and the Qing army in Yunnan Province have formed a confrontation, and the war is showing signs of becoming prolonged. How will the Burmese people think about it, and how will they respond?

Let's be honest. Zhu Yongxing also has plans to enter Burma, or control Yongli and others in his hands, or get rid of Yongli by the hands of the Burmese people. It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and he can't draw an army, or a reliable army, to do this.

Wait a little longer, until you are stronger. If you follow Wu Sangui's example and make false threats, you may be able to make the Burmese sacrifice Yongli.

Zhu Yongxing thought for a long time, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and put aside this annoying thing for the time being.

…………………

Zheng Chenggong is a national hero. There is no doubt about that. And heroes are not necessarily perfect, this is Zhu Yongxing's evaluation criteria.

The interests of the state and the interests of small groups can be said by bystanders, but when the parties have to make a choice, it may not be so easy and simple.

It is precisely because Zhu Yongxing can see it that he will deign to be noble and come to Xialong to meet Zheng Chenggong. It is precisely because he is not very demanding that he can have a good conversation with Zheng Chenggong.

"Although I have won Dayu for a while, the puppet dynasty may not be willing to repent of the war, then my north and south expeditions will not be burdened. Taiwan's countryside is thousands of acres, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and taxes are hundreds of thousands. Shipbuilding tools, our people are gathered, and those who are excellent. It is occupied by Hongyi, and there are no more than 1,000 people in the city, and those who attack it can be killed. Zheng Chenggong inadvertently mentioned the purpose and intention of recovering Taiwan, "I want to conquer Taiwan, think it is the fundamental place, settle the generals' families, and then go east and west to fight, without internal worries." However, the public will have many doubts, saying that Taiwan's feng shui is indispensable, and the water and soil are sick. I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

"Shu has high mountains and mountains, and it is still possible to climb the vines and go down; Wu has an iron cable across the river, which can still be burned by fire. The one who will finish all things first, and then the heavens will listen. Is there no other way to overcome all these difficulties? Zhu Yongxing raised his hands in favor of Zheng Chenggong's repulsion of the Dutch and the recovery of the treasure island of Taiwan, and he used Chen Shangchuan to express his opinion on this before, and this time he encouraged him, "It is difficult for the Jin and Xiamen islands to reject the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and they want to consolidate their roots first, and then strengthen their branches and leaves, which is the ultimate plan." ”

"Is this the same as His Highness's entry into overseas places?" Zheng Chenggong looked at Zhu Yongxing meaningfully.

"It's the same thing." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly, knowing that this was Zheng Chenggong's tentative words, "If the purpose of the prince's return to Taiwan is to break away from the front line of resistance against the Qing Dynasty, only from the consideration of self-interest, and take Taiwan far away from the mainland as a place to settle down, it is another matter." ”

"This domain is determined to recover, and it is eager to revive. How dare you be greedy for overseas and be happy? Zheng Chenggong saw Zhu Yongxing's rhetoric in return, and hurriedly affirmed that he had no intention of leaving the battlefield of resistance against the Qing Dynasty.

"That's it. The recovery of Taiwan is a matter of accumulation, not an escape, and when the time comes to strike again, will it not be even more violent. Although Zhu Yongxing knew that after Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, in order to run Taiwan, he would inevitably weaken the armed forces of the southeast to resist the Qing Dynasty, but he was not as fierce as Zhang Huangyan, believing that the purpose of recovering Taiwan was to break away from the front line of resistance against the Qing Dynasty and was a manifestation of no intention to restore sight.

Zheng Chenggong's support from Zhu Yongxing is still very beneficial to convincing his generals. In particular, the supply of grain and grass can greatly speed up the process of resuming Taiwan.

"Does the puppet Chaoguo want to carry out the coastal relocation move?" Zheng Chenggong was very concerned about this news, because this policy was mainly aimed at cutting off the channels for Zheng Jun's supplies from the mainland. If the Zheng army landed, the Qing army would use the advantage of land warfare to drive it to the sea. If this is the case, it is possible that the plan for the resumption of Taiwan will have to be implemented in advance.

Zhu Yongxing nodded very firmly and said, "It will be implemented next year, this should be a sure thing." Although this is short-sighted and stupid, there are short-term effects on your army. Of course, if your army can act in conjunction with our army to make it difficult for the Qing army's Guangdong naval division to pose a threat, it is still possible to provide assistance in terms of grain, grass and materials. ”
