Chapter 5 - Which Ancestor Is Related?
After Zhang Yun left.
Yan Yingyuan came to Chongzhen's side again and told Chongzhen all what Zhang Yun had done just now......
After Chongzhen heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in his heart, and he always thought that this Zhang Daochang had ulterior motives, after all, he appeared too suddenly!
But now, this mysterious Zhang Daochang did not hesitate to take out a treasure worth tens of millions of taels of silver and use it for himself to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.
What kind of behavior is this?
Chongzhen, who had been poor for a long time, naturally let go of all his vigilance against Zhang Yun at this moment, of course, there was still necessary doubt, which was also an instinct as an emperor!
Just said to Yan Yingyuan, this Zhang Daochang, who claimed to know a certain ancestor of his own family, and had a fate, made Chongzhen a little confused!
Could it be that this Daochang Zhang is really an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years?
But which of his ancestors did he have a relationship with?
Chongzhen never guessed this, after all, there were not too few emperors in the Ming Dynasty who believed in Taoism, especially the Jiajing Emperor.
Thinking of Emperor Jiajing, Chongzhen's heart moved, could it be him!
……
In the following days, Yan Yingyuan personally went out to sell treasures, wanting to exchange more silver taels and come back, you know, the army consumes the most silver.
On the other side, Yan Yingyuan asked the younger brothers below to go around recruiting troops.
Zhang Yun means that it is best to train an elite army within two or three months, and then bring Huang Degong over, completely eradicate the other Erliu and Gao Jie, and let Chongzhen really take power!
Historically, after Chongzhen was hanged on the coal mountain, only two months later, on May 15, King Fu ascended the throne as emperor in Nanjing, but he was just a puppet in the four towns of Jiangbei, and he had never held great power since the day he ascended the throne......
Therefore, Zhang Yuncai tried his best to prevent Chongzhen, who did not have his own descendants, from going to Nanjing, and at the same time, in this month's time, he also tried his best to block the information from the outside and enter Chongzhen's ears.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven!
On the fifth day after Chongzhen arrived at Yan Yingyuan's mansion, after settling down a little, out of the emperor's instinct, Chongzhen ordered Yan Yingyuan to investigate the situation in Nanjing......
After Chongzhen learned the news of Nanjing, the first thing he did was to run over to find Zhang Yun and ask Zhang Yun to escort him to Nanjing City.
Zhang Yun looked at the excited and incoherent Chongzhen in front of him, and asked with a very solemn face: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, I don't want to ask why Your Majesty knows these news, and I don't want to ask Your Majesty what you want to do......
"There is only one problem with the poor road, that is: when Your Majesty was sitting on the whole world, you were still directly destroyed by Li Zicheng and the Manchus, can it be said that now Your Majesty has gone to Nanjing, with this southeast half of the country, Your Majesty has the confidence to regain your strength and defeat the Liukou and Manchus?"
Chongzhen said a little helplessly: "The Taoist has been a monk for a long time, and he may not understand the importance of the throne, once the thief of King Fu ascends the throne, I am afraid that even if the Taoist chief trains me to train invincible soldiers and horses in the world, I am afraid that it will be the same in the future!" ”
"Because the civil and military officials of the whole world have recognized the throne of King Fu......"
"Ha, ha......" Zhang Yun didn't know how to interrupt Chongzhen's words, so he could only use laughter to interrupt Chongzhen's tirade!
Born in this era, limited by this era, I am afraid that everyone in this era thinks from the bottom of their hearts that the king wants to die, and the minister has to die.
Zhang Yun estimated that Chongzhen's heart was a little afraid, and when King Fu sat firmly on the throne, when a holy decree came down, even Chongzhen, the real emperor, was estimated to be quietly disposed of......
After understanding all this, Zhang Yun felt that if he didn't talk to Chongzhen properly, where did this power come from, and he didn't know what he would be afraid of in the future?
After all, Chongzhen has been missing for more than a month, and the four towns of Jiangbei, under the tandem of Lu Jiude and Ma Shiying, are already in full swing at this time to support King Fu to ascend the throne......
"Your Majesty, Poor Dao still wants to ask you another question, where does the power of the emperor's land come from?"
Although Chongzhen was in a very bad mood, when he heard Zhang Yun ask this, he still said with a strong spirit: "Daochang Zhang, your question is really strange, the emperor was born to rule the four seas......"
When Zhang Yun heard Chongzhen say this, the corners of his mouth twitched and then he spoke: "Then let's talk about it this way, where does the power of Your Majesty's ancestor Hongwu the Great come from?" ”
This time, Chongzhen was slightly stunned before he said: "Of course, it is the expulsion of Mongolia with the merit of heaven and earth and the people...... In the end, he was able to take charge of heaven and earth! ”
"Good!"
When Zhang Yun heard Chongzhen say this, he not only applauded loudly, but also applauded vigorously......
"Poor Dao has something to say to His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty can listen to it......"
"If you can make people who don't obey you shut up with your wisdom and mouth, then what did our ancestors thousands of years ago do you want to make swords and guns for?"
"The second sentence is the ...... of power coming out of the barrel of a gun"
"The core meaning of these two sentences is that as long as Your Majesty has mastered the barrel of the gun, then you can naturally control everything you want to control."
"Your Majesty, think about it again, is the power of Emperor Hongwu really rewarded to him by the people and this heaven and earth?"
"Poor Dao tells you that Emperor Hongwu never needed others to give him power, because his power comes from the swords and guns in his hands, and from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him......"
"Let's use the simplest analogy, Emperor Hongwu can wantonly kill the family clan, let's leave it alone whether he did the right thing or not, but at least he can do it, no one dares to jump out to stop him!"
"If the same thing is done by Your Majesty, in the city of Beijing, Your Majesty, do you have the same courage to kill the family without any scruples? Don't be afraid of backlash! ”
"So if Your Majesty enters Nanjing City now, Your Majesty, how far can you go?"
"You still can't carry out some reforms, and the strength of the four towns in Jiangbei is still too big, do you think that at the end of the dynasty, those warlord leaders are Your Majesty, and you give a so-called holy decree, and they will happily obey the order? You have done the same thing once in Beijing, Your Majesty, what is the result, in the end, did Wu Sangui follow Your Majesty's orders to come to King Qin, this point has been known since Li Zicheng entered Beijing at the end, and the poor Dao already knew the result......"
"So after this great change, don't you still understand where the power comes from?"
"If Your Majesty doesn't have soldiers and horses in your hands, and you enter Nanjing City naked alone, then presumably Poor Dao will be able to see Your Majesty in the wild again in a few years at most!"
……
Zhang Yun talked a lot more, but Chongzhen's face was still grim, and in the end, Zhang Yun felt that it was not okay to continue preaching like this.
I had to ask Chongzhen what he thought......
As a result, Chongzhen suddenly popped out such a sentence, "Then King Fu is about to ascend the throne!" ”
Zhang Yun was suddenly so angry that he dared to spend so much saliva in front of him......
