Chapter 0938: Kill Zheng Zhilong
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zheng Zhilong, in the last life, he did not get any help from Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong's strength, if he really helps the imperial court, it is definitely worth 200,000 troops, with the help of these 200,000 troops, will he die like that in the end!
Zheng Zhilong did not help the imperial court, but he was able to hold on for several years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he also did not help the Xiaofu King who fled to Nanjing in the previous life to claim the emperor, his cousin Zhu Yousong.
From this point, it can be seen that this person is still more selfish, not to mention that there is no way to compare with his own Imperial Forest Army, even with Qin Liangyu's patriotic warlords, there is no way to compare with it!
"Zheng Zhilong, you are richer than me, in such a difficult situation for the imperial court, why do you repeatedly urge the salary? Why don't you accept Zou Weilian's dispatch? Is your army your private or Ming's? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stood in front of Zheng Zhilong in a calm tone.
Everyone present was shocked, no one thought that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would be so difficult as soon as he came up? Originally, Zheng Jiajun's people were afraid of the emperor and were ready for the emperor to ask for guilt, but at Zheng Zhilong's insistence, all the high-ranking officials were present. He was not prepared for a direct rebellion.
Zou Weilian has been impeaching Zheng Zhilong, and he doesn't mean to put Zheng Zhilong to death, but he just hopes that the imperial court will know the details, this time the emperor came in person, Zou Weilian also made up his mind, as long as Zheng Zhilong can cooperate well with the central water division, his Fujian water division should still be led by Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong's reputation in southern Fujian and Taiwan is too high.
Zheng Zhilong slammed his head. "The emperor forgives the sin, Zheng Zhilong not only has more than 30,000 soldiers in his hands, but also hundreds of thousands of family dependents. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan, the burden is huge, I hope that the emperor and the court can understand, Zheng Zhilong is really dedicated to the court, there is no second heart, heaven and earth can be learned. ”
"You don't have two hearts! But you have selfish intentions, and you see your army as your own. You regard the people of Taiwan and southern Fujian as your own, what is the difference between this and the great crime of rebellion? Come and take Zheng Zhilong down. After I return to Beijing, I will personally try Zheng Zhilong, is Zheng Zhihu here? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for Zheng Zhilong's words to land, and he had already put his chess pieces to go. Walk out violently.
A group of armed eunuchs from the West Factory neatly took off Zheng Zhilong's helmet. The armor was stripped off, and the arms were pressed, and the generals of the entire Zheng family army were in a commotion.
Zheng Zhihu hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhihu is here, please be gracious to the emperor, the sun and the moon can be seen, my brother has no intention of rebellion." It really needs to use so much expense, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to check the incoming and outgoing accounts. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "I naturally want to investigate, Zou Weilian, Yu Zhigao, you check together, from now on, Zheng Zhilong's first qiē title will be replaced by Zheng Zhihu, and the Fujian Navy Division will be officially merged into the Central Navy Division to listen to the reorganization, and ten days later, go to sea to eliminate Liu Xiangji's henchmen and eliminate a pirate along the coast of Fujian!" ”
Zheng Zhihu didn't know what to say, he just kept kowtowing, in fact, the power of the Zheng family army has been cut a lot, even if his brother is selfish, half of it comes from the people below, the people who are soldiers, there is no silver to raise, who is willing to go with you to be born and die?
Zheng Zhilong is selfish, but not as unbearable as Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen thought, he has his own direction, he is thinking about southern Fujian and Taiwan, to develop this area, he is a small peasant thought, localism, this is in this era, it is also human nature, at most Zheng Zhilong has no overall view.
But this is not the case in the eyes of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, at such a time, every Qiqi must take the interests of the central government as the starting point, especially when he attaches great importance to the navy, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has always regarded the Zheng Jiajun as his own Imperial Forest Army, which is somewhat different from treating Qin Liangyu's army.
It's not that Zheng Zhilong's subordinates don't dare to fight, on the one hand, the emperor didn't say that he wanted to kill Zheng Zhilong, but just took the official position and wanted to interrogate him personally, on the other hand, Zheng Jiajun has gone through the differentiation of the instructor system of a bunch of imperial party personnel sent by the emperor, and it is no longer the eighteen Zhi family system established by Zheng Zhilong, at least a small number of people's hearts are towards the Ming Dynasty, which is also the reason why Zheng Zhilong can't reverse the Ming Dynasty at all, the reason why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wants to personally go south this time is to use his own prestige, To further stabilize the achievements of Jiangnan, and at the same time, to take all the control of Zheng Jiajun, this time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wanted to make the name of Zheng Jiajun no longer exist.
The scene was quiet, everyone didn't even dare to come out, Zheng Zhihu didn't dare to make a sound after hearing that the emperor let him replace all the titles of his brother, the emperor was a slap, and then touched, and did not completely break people's thoughts, no one dared to jump up at this time, dare to jump is a death, everyone knows how many people have died in the process of the court meeting over the years, and everyone remembers how the emperor defeated Xu Xinsu and hung tens of thousands of heads along the Yangtze River.
"Zou Weilian, you are conservative and not tough enough, you have been in Fujian for three years, what are your achievements? Zou Weilian was demoted three levels in a row, and he was placed on duty, and I ordered you to supervise all coastal defenses in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi within one year, and cooperate with Shi Kefa to open up a section of the road from Xiamen to Nanjing. If you disappoint me again this time, do you know what to do? Be loyal to Daming! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not stop going crazy.
Zou Weilian kowtowed profusely and thanked him, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the Fujian officials present were like being fished out of the water, and they just asked Zheng Zhilong for the crime, and immediately asked Zou Weilian for the crime, this speed, this Tianwei. Everyone's mind only felt a chaos, and the emperor couldn't wait for the emperor to tell himself clearly, what should he do?
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen left steadily, and it seemed that he took down Zheng Zhilong, as if he was spitting on a mouthful of saliva, as if the people in the world, anyone, in his eyes, were like dust on the soles of his shoes.
Although the time of the 10-day reorganization was rushed, it was completely under the control of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, especially the Central Naval Division of Yu Zhigao, although there were only more than 8,000 people, but it was a long-term guard of the military and political system of the Central Army, well-trained, and loyal, and more than 90 percent of the people in the army were members of the Imperial Party, after a series of transfers.
Originally, the captains of the Zheng Jiajun were all transferred to the warships of the Central Army as deputy positions, and the deputy captains of the Central Naval Division were originally prepared for the expansion of the army, and most of them went to the battleships of the Zheng Jiajun to serve as captains.
The level of the Imperial Forest Army is much higher than that of the local army, although many people have served as deputy positions, the power is gone, but the level has been promoted by half a level to a level, and there is no very resentment, the key is that resentment is useless, in the side of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, any resistance is futile, the terrible thing about the imperial party lies in this, the imperial party has played a hypnotic role on people from the ideology, so that people dare not resist, even Zheng Zhilong's younger brothers, do not dare.
Although Zheng Zhihu replaced Zheng Zhilong's title, the power in his hands was only as a deputy beside Yu Zhigao, so it can be said that he had no power at all, but his rank in the party was promoted and he became the deputy secretary of Fujian, and the secretary was Zou Weilian.
Before the emperor came, Zheng Jiajun, including Yu Zhigao, including Zou Weilian, everyone thought a lot, but it seems that no matter how they imagined it, they would never have thought that the emperor's movements would be so fast, so crisp, so thorough.
Chen Yuanyuan's heart is so excited every day, she would not imagine that there is a man in the world who can be so strong, standing within ten meters of the emperor's side, she can feel a strong sense of oppression, she actually found that she has been deeply fascinated by this sense of oppression.
