Chapter 192: Zhu Yunwen's escape plan

Zhu Yunwen gambled with his life to put Xu Huizu in a dilemma.

Xu Huizu was also extremely bored in his heart, he just wanted to sit at home and spend this transitional period in Nanjing in peace, but he didn't want anyone to come to the door.

But I didn't think that the Feng family of the various factions in Nanjing had evacuated. The Fu family has disappeared, and the Korean public is in the same vein, and now in Chongqing, the fight with Mei Yin is also negotiating.

The only Wei Guogong is in the same vein, standing tall.

Moreover, Wei Guogong's influence on Nanjing was already very deep. Now people in all walks of life are panicking, and only Wei Guogong is in the same vein, and he dares to be sure, no matter how the world changes. There will be no problems with his Xu family.

Compared with the Diaoyutai of the Duke of Wei. A lot of people are simply headless flies.

In this case, how could others not want to find a way from the Wei State Mansion.

At this moment, Xu Huizu was extremely troubled. And Zhu Yunwen was also very worried in his heart.

When he killed Ding Xian, it was actually determined that the situation was irreparable. It's not just that the situation in Nanjing is irreparable. Even the situation in the world cannot be reversed.

In history, when Emperor Jianwen fled, the southwest was still in his hands. Therefore, there are many rumors that Emperor Jianwen ran to the southwest, but now it is different. The southwest is already owned by Beijing. Chongqing gathered Huguang so troops. But in the hands of the Korean Gong Li Qi.

Zhu Yunwen didn't think how reliable this person was. Not to mention, even if Li Qi is reliable, can Li Qi turn the tide?

No.

Zhu Yunwen has been the emperor in the past few years, and he also has his own understanding of the new war. Don't say anything else. That is, to ask for money, to have weapons, to ask for factories. To logistical production capacity. Without these, it would have been impossible to win against Beijing.

It wasn't that he didn't think about martyrdom.

But the great desire of life and death is not something that everyone can face with laughter.

Moreover, He Xi opened the sea, which can be regarded as expanding the horizons of the entire upper Ming Dynasty. There have long been Ming merchant ships that went to India, East Africa and other places to trade. Even many Han merchants in Nanyang eat this mouthful. Sourcing Ming goods from Nanyang, and then selling them exclusively to India and Arabia. There were even some that were sold directly in Egypt to Venetian merchants.

It's just that it's all in the minority.

Most of the businessmen who are supported by the powerful will not go that far. Most of them make money in their comfort zone. Only those who have no background and want to make a lot of money can go to the West to make money.

Historically, whether Emperor Jianwen fled or not, and whether he fled to the West, is already a mystery that can never be solved. But now the place that Zhu Yunwen determined at the beginning is the West.

Without him, in the known world of the Ming Dynasty, only the West has a place for him.

Daming naturally can't stay. If you can't hide it, you can't keep it in the southwest. Only abroad. And the East and South Seas may be able to hide for a while, but it will not work for a long time. The only Western Ocean is not under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no other way to go except here.

And, it's also very convenient. He Xi has opened the sea for so many years, and the East and West Oceans have long formed a mature shipping lane. It's easy to get to the West.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen has to face the most difficult hurdle, in fact, it is not how to go to the West, but how to leave Nanjing.

Ding Xian's matter reminded Zhu Yunwen that among the ministers below him, how many of them are worth believing, Zhu Yunwen doesn't know, and for such a big thing, he must find someone who can be trusted.

Zhu Yunwen thought about it, and actually thought of Wei Guogong's lineage.

Yes, not only Wei Guogong Xu Huizu has an opinion on Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Yunwen also has an opinion on Wei Guogong's lineage. Because he knew that Wei Guogong had never been loyal to him.

However, different times will lead to different perceptions.

At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen had countless grievances against the Duke of Wei's mansion, but now it seems that he also understands that the Duke of Wei just doesn't want to participate in the matter of the Zhu family's cannibalism. This is probably what Xu Da meant. And Xu Huizu is a famous filial son.

So, Zhu Yun

At the beginning, the king of the mountains was mentioned.

And Zhu Yunwen also knew that the Wei Mansion was relatively upright. Even if you don't agree, you don't know, and you turn your face on the spot. But if the Duke of Wei agreed, things would be easy.

Because, the Duke of Wei definitely did not want to be stained with the blood of the royal family.

It doesn't matter whose it is.

It has always been like this, a gentleman can deceive him.

Xu Huizu sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I can convey Your Majesty's thoughts to the north. As for other things, I beg your pardon for not being able to agree."

Zhu Yunwen and the Wei State Mansion's various knots, Xu Huizu is unwilling to take such a big risk for Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Doesn't Wei Guogong think about Nanjing City? I've arranged it. With Fu Mao as the general, in charge of Nanjing's city defense, there are millions of catties of gunpowder in the city, once the city is broken, it will be ignited immediately, the jade will be burned, and Nanjing will be scorched. And if Wei Guogong promised me. I can write down my guilt immediately. And to be able to say to the outside world, I have committed suicide. Since then, he has drifted overseas, and he is no longer Emperor Jianwen."

"The city of Nanjing is ruled by Wei Guogong. Give it to my big brother in perfect condition."

"As for the north side, no."

"It's too much trouble to go back and forth."

"Once the news is revealed. The matter is irreparable. Wei Guogong, do you agree?"

Xu Huizu was awe-inspiring in his heart, the battle of Nanjing he expected was probably an attack by the Northern Army, and soon there would be defenders who would defect. As for who is it that defected? Wei Guogong didn't care, but it was a fact that someone would definitely defect.

But he never expected that Zhu Yunwen would do it so decisively.

There are millions of catties of gunpowder in the city of Nanjing, on the one hand, there are many gunpowder workshops in the city of Nanjing, which is one of the production bases of gunpowder, after all, the production of gunpowder has been valued since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just that firearms weren't very popular at that time.

For a long time, Nanjing gunpowder was the best gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty.

Even for the production of gunpowder, willow trees were planted exclusively. That's because of all the charcoal, willow has the best effect. This was probably the time when the ratio of gunpowder was first formulated, and the charcoal content of different charcoal was different.

In the end, willow wood was used as the standard, but in the end, it became like this.

Now that the war has reached this day, the status of gunpowder has reached a point where it is irreparable. As a result, more gunpowder was produced in Nanjing. Not to mention, Nanjing itself is a store of a lot of military supplies. Gunpowder is one of the most important items.

Once millions of catties of gunpowder exploded in the city of Nanjing.

This consequence, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, couldn't believe it.

In particular, Wei Guogong's line has been operating in Nanjing for a long time, and it can be said that a considerable part of the loss of Nanjing City is equal to the loss of Wei Guogong. At the same time, it is also equivalent to the loss of the imperial court. The reason is simple.

That is, the city of Nanjing was built between Hongwu and Wu. It can be said that in the city of Nanjing, there are many people who have made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, of course, they may not have such high merits and can be crowned marquis. Knighted. But living in the capital can be regarded as their reward for supporting the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang loves the local people in Nanjing. During the Hongwu period, there were almost no taxes paid in the vicinity of Nanjing. It is to buy the hearts of the people and plan for the long term.

Once the country is in trouble, at least the people near Nanjing are willing to die for the imperial court.

Now Zhu Yunwen's approach makes Xu Huizu very sad.

I felt that Zhu Yunwen didn't understand at all that Emperor Taizu was painstaking. Is it possible to do such a thing?

It's not that Zhu Yunwen doesn't know, and now he has no way. Before killing Ding Xian, he still thought that he was the emperor and wanted to save the situation, but at this moment, Zhu Yunwen was just Zhu Yunwen, he was a person. All his ideas are simple.

That is to live...

Live without being restricted by Beijing.

For this purpose, he can do anything.

Xu Huizu was silent for a long time and said, "I still can't promise you this matter. However, you can give a little time,

I'll send a message to Jiangbei now, and I will vouch for it in the name of my Wei State Mansion. If the North acquiesced or agreed. I will definitely send you to sea. But only to the sea. As for what will happen to you after you go to sea, you can only ask Your Majesty to do it yourself."
