Chapter 318: Selecting One Person, Zhu Chenggong!
How to break the game.
On the rice paper on the panel, when these four words were reflected in the eyes of these great tomorrow princes, they were all filled with deep thought.
Hongguang, Longwu.
Although these two dynasties were the same as the Southern Ming Dynasty, in fact the situation was completely different.
Although there are also warlords in the Hongguang regime created by Zhu Yousong, there are many warlords, each of which cannot be dominant, and these warlords have contradictions with each other, and the Hongguang court still has a certain deterrent effect.
As long as it's handled properly, you can still play a wave.
On the whole, the Hongguang regime can be regarded as a useful imperial court.
However.
The situation of the Longwu regime was quite different.
Because in the Longwu Dynasty, there was only one big warlord, that is, the Zheng family headed by Zheng Zhilong, which started as a group of pirates
It seems that Emperor Longwu ascended the throne as emperor, established the Longwu regime, and established a new generation of the Southern Ming court.
But actually.
This Longwu Imperial Court is just a Zheng family, a banner created by Zheng Zhilong for himself, because with the banner of Emperor Longwu, he can openly levy taxes from all over the country and expand his army wantonly.
As for the rest, what Northern Expedition lost land, what Northern Expedition to chase the Qing Dynasty, in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, it is all nonsense, whoever likes to do it, anyway, it is impossible for him Zheng Zhilong to do it.
It's easy to say if he has backbone, but unfortunately history finally proved that Zheng Zhilong doesn't even have backbone.
"Brother."
"This long-martial thing, in our opinion, is nothing more than one word."
When no one spoke.
Lao Zhu frowned and said aloud.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on their grandfather.
"Kill."
In the old Zhu's eyes, there was a cold killing intent.
"Father is right."
Lao Zhu Di also spoke after Lao Zhu.
"Since the military and political affairs of the Longwu Dynasty are in the hands of the Zheng family, then the Zheng family will be killed and the military and political power will be returned."
For these Ming Zhu family emperors who have crossed many times, crossing through the past and hacking to death a handful of people is no matter how skilled this kind of operation is, it is completely trivial.
Within three minutes, the battle will be resolved.
"No."
At this time.
Ah Biao, who rarely expressed his opinion in practical classes, spoke.
In a word, Ah Biao attracted everyone's attention, and these people wanted to know what Xue Ba Biao thought about this problem.
"Biao'er, why not?"
Lao Zhu looked at Ah Biao and asked out loud.
In Lao Zhu's view, since the military and political power of Longwu Daming is in the hands of the thieves, the thieves will be killed, the military and political power will be regained, and the Northern Expedition will be revived.
Judging from this path, there should be no problem.
"Father, if you think about it carefully, the situation of Longwu seems to be the same as that of the powerful ministers of previous dynasties, but it is actually different."
Ah Biao took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"The warlords of the Zheng family, from the chief general to the officers at all levels, are all cronies of the Zheng family, and from the moment these soldiers joined the army, in their consciousness, what they eat is the food of the Zheng family, and what they serve is the life of the Zheng family."
"In their eyes, there has never been a court to speak of, and there has never been a monarch and a father."
"Once we kill Zheng Zhilong and other core figures of the Zheng clan, then this army will fall into chaos in an instant."
"Mildly, mutiny."
"Heavy responsibility, plundering Fujing, killing the monarch and plotting rebellion."
After Emperor Longwu ascended the throne, he changed Fuzhou to the capital, also known as Fujing.
Hear the words.
Old Zhu Meiyu frowned.
"What Biao'er said is reasonable, but we ignore this."
Get to the bottom of it.
This army under the command of Zheng Zhilong started as pirates, and it is a group of out-and-out ruffians and a group of private soldiers.
"Well, what the eldest brother said is extremely reasonable."
Zhu Laosi also said out loud.
"The best way is to support a soldier who can suppress the warlord's army before killing the thief leader."
That's it.
The crowd was silent.
They didn't know much about Longwu Daming, and they were limited to the little information given by the Immortal Master, and they were really blind to find someone who could suppress the Zheng clan's soldiers.
"There is one such person."
Ji Boying, who listened to the conversation between the Zhu family's father and son throughout the whole process, glanced at the silent Zhu family's heavenly sons.
They don't know the whole history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but Ji Boying does.
If you want to find someone to take over Zheng Zhilong, this candidate is easy to choose.
Find him cub and you're done.
Zheng Chenggong!
From a historical point of view.
This dude, absolutely reliable.
At least, during this time period in Longwu, Zheng Chenggong is absolutely reliable.
After all, this is the Lord who can break with his father on top of righteousness.
On this point alone, after Zheng Chenggong replaces Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong will inevitably do his best to help Emperor Longwu in the Northern Expedition to rejuvenate the country.
Forthwith.
Ji Boying briefly summarized the life and deeds of Zheng Chenggong, and poured it into the minds of these great tomorrow princes in a "well-understood" way.
Broke with his father, led the army to resist the Qing Dynasty - was named the king of the county, led the number of Qing soldiers in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and repeatedly refused to surrender - merged to the north, broke Guazhou, went down to Zhenjiang, surrounded Jiangning, and the Qing court shook - the army was defeated out of Xiamen, through Penghu, directly to Luermen, Taiwan, surrounded the red embedded city, defeated the Netherlands, and recovered the whole island of Taiwan.
Suddenly, after learning about Zheng Chenggong's experience, the eyes of these great princes lit up.
"This person, whether it is from the identity or courage, as well as his loyalty to my Ming Dynasty, and his determination to destroy Jiannu, are very suitable."
After clarifying Zheng Chenggong's resume, Ah Biao gave his own answer.
"Well, that's him."
Lao Zhu nodded, and the final word was made.
'Xiao Hei, lock the time and space of Longwu. ’
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and the others, and said in his heart.
"Blackie: Okay boss, locked"
Then.
The breeze moves slightly.
With a 'boom'.
Look again.
In the main hall of this drunken immortal building, there is no other figure except for the pity and cherishing the jade.
………………………
Nanming Longwu time and space.
Tianxing Mansion (Fuzhou), Tianzi Xinggong (formerly Nan'anbo Mansion), said to be the palace, is actually a renovated mansion, and there is no gorgeousness at all.
Fengtian Temple.
After Emperor Longwu became emperor, he changed the name of Fujian Buzheng to Fujing, changed Fuzhou to Tianxing Mansion, changed Buzheng to Xingdian, and built the Bank in Taimiao, Sheji and Tang Guozong Temple. Zheng Zhilong was promoted to Pingyu Hou, Zheng Hongkui was named Dingyu Hou, Zheng Zhibao was named Cheng Jibo, and Zheng Cai was Yongshengbo. Huang Daozhou is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and Wu Yingdian University, Jiang Dejing is the secretary of the household department and Wenyuan Pavilion University, Zhu Jizuo is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the East Pavilion University, Zeng Ying is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the East Pavilion University, Huang Mingjun, Li Guangchun, Su Guansheng and others are the courtesy, and the left and right servants of the soldiers are also the scholars of the East Pavilion University.
In July of the same year, it was ordered to restore the names of the three halls of the Emperor's Palace, the Middle Pole Palace, and the Jianji Hall during the Jiajing period to the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Palace, and the Jinshen Palace, and the word "Xing In" was added in front of each yamen.
From the restoration of the name of the three halls, from the word 'Tianxing', it can be seen everywhere that Emperor Longwu is bound to revive the idea of the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.
Now.
In the Temple of Heaven.
It is said that the Fengtian Temple, which is one of the three major halls, is actually too different from the original Fengtian Temple, but it is only a middle hall.
The voice of pathos echoed in this room.
The forty-four-year-old Emperor Longwu set up a worship altar in this hall, and personally worshiped the deceased courtiers as the great son of heaven.
"Your Majesty, you have to put the dragon body first, you haven't run out of rice and water for two days."
Beside Emperor Longwu, the old eunuch whispered comfort.
Since the news of the martyrdom of Zodiac Zhou came, Emperor Longwu set up a spiritual altar in this Fengtian Temple (Xingzai) and vowed to personally conquer the Northern Expedition.
Of course.
Emperor Longwu put on such a posture, firstly, to express his determination to the people of the world, to tell the people of the world that the Longwu Dynasty was not a place of peace, and secondly, to tell Zheng Zhilong and others.
I'm about to go on a personal expedition, do you come or not!
If you don't come, you will lose this golden signboard, how can you still fish and meat!
But judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Zheng Zhilong and others will not come, and they have another way to surrender in addition to the route of fish and meat.
Because since Emperor Longwu released the news that he was going to personally conquer the Northern Expedition, Zheng Zhilong has not expressed his position at all, not even a letter, and has been collectively pretending to be dead.
"I am angry, I hate, I have mercy."
Standing in front of the spirit of the zodiac Zhou, Zhu Yujian clenched his fists, and the whole person seemed to have blue tendons on his forehead.
He was angry, he hated that Zheng Zhilong had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals, hoarding millions of grain and grass, but he did not send a single soldier on the Northern Expedition.
He pities that as the Son of Heaven, since the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he has been made like this, proclaiming the world and the emperor to conquer in person, but in the end, he can't even get together a decent army, and he can't even take out a batch of military rations, let alone reward the army's food and salary, which has become a joke in the eyes of others, which is really a big joke in the world.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is dead, please ask Your Majesty to take back the intention of the Northern Expedition!"
The old eunuch knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed heavily in front of Emperor Longwu, he grew up with Zhu Yujian since he was a child, watching Zhu Yujian become the son of the Tang Dynasty, become the king of Tang, and then be imprisoned in Fengyang, and then reinstated the king, until now he is enthroned and called the emperor.
He deeply felt that it was really difficult for Emperor Longwu to get to this point.
"Don't you believe me?"
Zhu Yujian looked at his old slave and frowned.
This old eunuch who has followed him through thick and thin for half his life can be said to be the person he trusts the most now.
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave just knows that without a large army, if Your Majesty goes to the expedition in person, what is the difference between entering the Longtan Tiger's Den alone?!"
"The old slave doesn't want to see His Majesty put his life at risk."
The old eunuch knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Even an old eunuch can figure out the truth, and Emperor Longwu, who is proficient in ancient and modern times, and can't release the scroll, is naturally impossible not to understand.
In the past, he understood the ending of Cao Wei and Cao Chao.
But.
What's the use of understanding it?!
Cao Chao had no other choice back then, and he Zhu Yujian, does he have it now?
"Do I have any other choice?"
Zhu Yujian looked up to the sky and sighed.
The more he read, the more he understood what a situation he was in, the more he realized that he had no other choice, that he could not make himself a fool of pleasure.
He's just a puppet.
And he is not willing to be a puppet.
Even if there is no military food support, even if he can only gather a few thousand loose stragglers, he has to fight hard, at least not to leave regrets in his heart.
At that moment, a clear sound sounded.
"Chen Zhu Chenggong, meet Your Majesty."
I saw that beyond this threshold, there was a heroic young man standing.
It is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen.
Zhu Chenggong's original name was Zheng Sen, after the opening of the Longwu Dynasty, Zhu Yujian saw Zheng Chenggong for the first time, saw his heroic force, and wanted to get closer to Zheng Zhilong, so he gave him the surname of the country and changed his name to Chenggong, so that Zheng Sen became Zhu Chenggong, and he was also the surname of the Ming Dynasty for decades.
Hear the words.
Emperor Longwu turned around and looked at it, and when he saw Zhu Chenggong, there was a lot of emotion in his eyes.
After all, there are still people who want to come.
Although it is not very useful.
"Let's go back."
"I hope you will not forget the sincerity in your heart in this life and abide by the great cause of the Northern Expedition."
Zhu Yujian knew it very well in his heart.
Although Zhu Chenggong is Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, although he has personally led the troops, he is a junior of the Zheng family after all, and the military power that can be deployed in his hands is limited.
It's better not to go, continue to take charge of the troops in the Zheng clan, and accumulate some strength for the future resistance to the Qing Dynasty.
"Minister, remember!"
How could Zhu Chenggong not understand these truths, knelt on the ground and bowed, his eyes red.
At this moment, Zhu Chenggong also felt helpless in his heart, except for being able to come to Fengtian Hall to show his face and show his loyalty, he could not give any other substantive help.
He knew in his heart that his father Zheng Zhilong and uncle Zheng Zhibao and others had always only had the word self-interest in their hearts, and they had never thought of a family and country, let alone any loyalty to the monarch.
At this point, he Zhu Chenggong is deeply ashamed, deeply ashamed, but he is indeed helpless now, there is no way, although he is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, is the number one person of the next generation of the Zheng family, and has been in charge of the army, and is also quite prestigious in the Zheng army, but in the Zheng clan, he is still just a junior, the real power is in the hands of his father Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao and other uncles, these people do not nod, he can't help Longwu at all.
"The ancestors are grateful, can you tell the unfilial son Zhu Yujian how to act in the future."
Zhu Yujian moistened his eyes and let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart.
As long as he had any other way, he would not embark on the road of no return to the Northern Expedition alone.
————————————
PS: Recently, some sub-fathers have noticed that the number of words in a single chapter has decreased.
Indeed it is.
There are three reasons for this.
First, the mother-in-law went back for the New Year, and she had to exchange with her wife to accompany the children most of the time during the day, and there was too little time to code words.
Second, the book has entered the end stage, basically all the data are in the bottoming stage, and the next step is to gradually wrap up, so the speed has slowed down a little.
Third, I have to think of a new book with some time left. (End of chapter)
