Chapter 927: The Kindness of a Woman

Here in Zhenjiang, Hao Fenglou's mood is quite irritable, and there is no progress in the war, and although the military situation from Jiangxi is smooth, the Langshan army has surrounded Nanchang, but the resistance of the Ming army there is also very fierce, but it is the first line in Zhejiang, and the progress is very fast, which greatly surprised Hao Fenglou's expectations.

In fact, after careful consideration, it can be understood that the Langshan army dealt with Zhejiang, it was a waterway that went hand in hand, all the way from Fujian, although it was only tens of thousands of people, but here, after all, it was not the place where the imperial court focused on prevention, and the other way there were sailors from Zhoushan who attacked Ningbo and contained it, and in that place in Zhejiang, the folk customs were not conservative, and the acceptance of Chen Xue was not low, mainly because Zhejiang people were similar to Fujian people, there were many places where there were many mountainous and mountainous places, and arable land was not possible, so the whole family starved to deathTherefore, many people have to go out of the countryside to make a living, and the best means of making a living is to do business, so there are many businessmen in Zhejiang, although many are petty fights, and even some are just carrying the burden of the street to the merchants, but the atmosphere is relatively open.

In addition, the land there is most suitable for planting mulberry, and the purpose of planting mulberry is to produce silk, many of the silk in Zhejiang are supplied to Langshan, in the past, it was a private ship, transporting these silks, and went to the sea to trade with the workshop owners of Langshan, and later opened the sea ban, the demand for Langshan is greater, so that the mulberry here becomes a trend, which also indirectly leads to many people here is the downstream industry of Langshan, the war together, many people's silk is difficult to open up the market, many people are facing the danger of bankruptcy, these people are eager for the arrival of the Langshan army, make up for the loss.

So the resistance here is not fierce.

In fact, except for the Gyeonggi area. The biggest dilemma of the Lang Son Army did not come from the official army. These officers and troops are often not strong in combat and are guest troops. Without the desire to defend the family, once the Lang Son army attacked, it would not be long before it would collapse. On the contrary, the sharpest ones were the local organized people, these people were all locals, organized by some gentry families, and being familiar with geography could bring a lot of trouble to the Lang Son army.

Zhejiang did not have the soil for the gentry to organize manpower and resistance, and as for the officers and troops of the various guards, they were almost vulnerable. Therefore, under the offensive of tens of thousands of Lang Son troops, the resistance here quickly collapsed.

It is really difficult to bite, but it is the enemy of Hunan and Jiangxi, and even some battlefields, which need to be repeatedly sawed before they can finally be stabilized.

Hao Fenglou has been fighting Jinling's idea, if it is a full-front battle, it will slowly encroach, but this war does not know how long it will be fought, and the war needs dead people. Relying on countless materials, such a loss is difficult to support even if Langshan is rich and rich.

It's just that Jinling rarely shows flaws, even if there are occasional weak locations. However, in the face of the 500,000 elite Ming troops entrenched within a radius of 100 miles from Jinling, Hao Fenglou did not dare to act rashly.

But Hao Fenglou couldn't leave, so he stayed here. Only by giving Jinling enough threats could Jinling cut off Jinling's support for the Jiangxi and Hunan battalions, and make them fall into a situation of fighting everywhere. Therefore, Hao Fenglou's only way is to sit in Zhenjiang. Of course, he didn't put all his hopes on Xu Jingming, but he was quite expectant for Xu Jingming, no matter what, this guy might be able to bring a little light to himself.

And at this time, Xu Jingming's letter finally came.

This guy has not been heard from for a long time, Hao Fenglou even suspected that he was a slave with three surnames, and when he got the letter, he opened it and looked at it, Hao Fenglou frowned.

King Zhou, this guy doesn't seem to dare to take risks.

If he didn't take risks, of course, he would sit back and wait to die, but for Hao Fenglou, it meant that there was no fighter plane, and he had to wait here in vain, how could this be good?

After thinking about it in his heart, Hao Fenglou gradually got acquainted, and he decided to write a letter.

You must know that in this era when communication basically relies on roaring and entertainment almost depends on piao, writing letters, to a certain extent, is also one of Hao Fenglou's bad tastes, but I don't know how many young men and women take pen pals for pleasure even in later generations, which shows that the Great Celestial Empire has a tradition of correspondence.

So a moment of effort, a few letters were completed, one is for the Empress Dowager Xu, whether the Empress Dowager Xu receives it or not, this intention must be delivered, the content of the letter is roughly the shock of Jinling bad news, this is the mother of worry, the mother of Hao's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, but to take care of the phoenix, do not let the retainers worry.

This son is simply the finishing touch, Hao Fenglou has now become the prince, but he still calls himself a son to the Empress Dowager Xu, the meaning here, to a certain extent, is to recognize the legitimacy of the Empress Dowager Xu, and indirectly recognizes the Taoism of the Son of Yongle, but he never mentioned being the son of heaven, but directly called the vassal kings of Jinling that day as thieves, which obviously means that Hao Fenglou is the continuation of the authentic Yongle Son of Heaven.

This matter, if you don't take it seriously, it's nothing, but once you are serious, the meaning revealed in it is different, Hao Fenglou respects the Empress Dowager Xu, recognizes the Son of Yongle, to a certain extent, it shows that this newly founded new dynasty may not be incompatible with some people in Jinling, to put it bluntly, they are still willing to surrender and rebel, and even give some people some preferential treatment. But who gets the preferential treatment? This is another problem.

In view of the fact that the Empress Dowager Xu has lost power and has basically been placed under house arrest, of course, this letter cannot be sent to the Empress Dowager Xu, but Hao Fenglou can guarantee that His Royal Highness the King of Zhou can see it, to put it bluntly, this is disgusting King Zhou, or rather, it is a certain degree of discord, Hao Fenglou's move is obviously to test King Zhou's reaction, if King Zhou reacts violently, and there is some movement in Jinling, then what Xu Jingming said in the letter, King Zhou is cautious, I am afraid that it will be a misjudgment, but if he is calm and composed, Treat this letter as air, then this person is more difficult to deal with than Hao Fenglou imagined.

Hao Fenglou is not afraid of those who are babbling, but the only thing he is afraid of is the kind of guy who doesn't eat oil and salt.

The second letter was addressed to Huang Huai.

The letter was just a simple greeting, and then the old feelings were recounted, and then the poor dagger saw and told Huang Huai that if they met again on another day, they would definitely treat each other with courtesy.

Subsequently, the letter was sent out, Hao Fenglou was in the camp, crossed his feet, holding the teacup and sighing, he was looking forward to it, his two letters, put into the lake of Jinling, there must be a trace of waves.

Two days later, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, arrived at the Wanshou Palace with a letter.

His face was calm, he just handed the letter to the Empress Dowager Xu, and said, "Look, this is Hao Fenglou's letter, Niangniang, this is a special trip for you." ”

Empress Dowager Xu just took the letter in surprise, opened it immediately, and then sneered: "This is Hao Fenglou's divisive plan, why, does King Zhou even believe in this little trick?" The mourning family is the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, how can she be in the same stream with the thief. ”

Zhu Hu looked at the Empress Dowager Xu, immediately smiled, and said: "This king naturally knows the tricks of this Hao Fenglou, this person has always been like this, and he is the best at sowing discord, but the letter is for the mother, so this king will pass it on his behalf." ”

Empress Dowager Xu said lightly: "Han and thief are not separated. After that, he burned the letter directly with a candle flame and threw away the carbon basin: "It's better to ignore such conspiracies and tricks, but I think Your Highness is only afraid, it's not just as simple as sending a letter." ”

Zhu Hu said with a smile: "It's still the mother who knows me, this king just hopes that the mother can write back." ”

Empress Dowager Xu frowned: "The letter and his scolding are too frivolous. ”

Zhu Lu shook his head and said: "No, this king wants you to write a reply, be polite to him, it is best to talk about the old relationship, and this king also has some oral messages, and I hope that the mother will bring it." ”

Empress Dowager Xu was stunned: "What message?" ”

Zhu Hu sighed and said: "This battle can't be fought, it really hurts the heavens and peace, so this king hopes to be able to strike the army and negotiate peace, but where is it so easy to negotiate peace, the Hao family is a jackal, and wants to seek skin with the tiger, but it is better to be careful, this king hopes that you will test his reaction, don't have to say things too bluntly, just tell him that if they are willing to not invade each other, then the court is willing to rule the world with them, and they are allowed to be lonely in the south." ”

Empress Dowager Xu shook her head and said sharply: "Now that the matter is over, does Your Highness think there is still room for maneuver?" ”

Zhu Lu sat on the chair of the Wanshou Palace, and sighed bitterly: "After so many years of fighting, this king really can't bear to be miserable anymore, Niangniang, until now, the right should be for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the country, make one last effort." ”

Empress Dowager Xu looked at him deeply, and finally said faintly: "Old Five, you are really different from the first emperor." ”

Zhu Hu smiled and said: "It's all born by a father, what's the difference, in fact, this kind of trick, this king is tired of it, instead of such disputes, it is better to do the last thing for the common people in this world, what does Niangniang think?" ”

Empress Dowager Xu should come down: "Okay, the mourning family will go back to the book, does King Zhou want to watch from the sidelines?" ”

Zhu Huan shook his head: "That's not necessary, my sister-in-law, I can still trust it." Maybe you can say that this king is the benevolence of women, but this king has read the scriptures and history for a long time, and only knows that Meng said Chengren and Kong said to take righteousness, how can he leave the people of the world to disaster because of the dispute between several families in the world? The common people are not ants, they are all flesh and blood. ”
