Supporting the new emperor and continuing to hold high the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty and fighting the Qing army to the end was an idea that Wang Wu had long had.

This move not only gave hope to the more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in Maolu Mountain, nor did it not only strengthen the belief of the officers and men of the Ming army to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty, but also the needs of China's overall anti-Qing struggle.

The impact of the collapse of the Yongli regime on the armed struggle against the Qing Dynasty needs no explanation.

The large-scale surrender of the Ming army in the past two years is the most direct manifestation of this consequence.

Even if the remnants of the Ming army on the Western Front successfully joined up with Li Laiheng's army, which strengthened the strength of the Ming army to a certain extent, Wang Wu did not rule out that some of Li Laiheng's subordinates would still waver!

Why is it shaken, that is, it loses the motivation to fight, and I don't know why I have to fight.

Therefore, it was necessary for the Ming army to re-establish a new emperor and establish a new regime, so as to give the soldiers a hope.

Even if this new regime is in danger, it is better than no regime!

At the beginning, Yongli abandoned the country and ran to Burma, why did the Ming army in China continue to fight against the Qing army.

It was because the soldiers knew that the emperor was not dead, but still alive!

They are fighting for the Ming Dynasty!

At the overall military level of the whole country, at present, in addition to Maolu Mountain, the last anti-Qing base in Chinese mainland, there are still more than 10,000 righteous troops commanded by Shangshu Zhang Huangyan of the Ming Army Department on the coast of Zhejiang, as well as the 100,000 troops of the Zheng family in Taiwan.

The selfish Zheng family put it aside and didn't mention it.

Yu Zhang Huang said that Wang Wu was admired.

In his previous life, he went to West Lake several times to pay homage to this great hero of the Han nation.

Zhang Huangyan has always been in contact with Kuidong, and in the fifteenth year of Yongli, he sent people to Kuidong and asked the thirteen families to send troops to attack Wuchang in order to alleviate the military crisis in Yunnan.

However, because the Kuidong families were not unified with each other, and their troops were exhausted, and they lacked offensive weapons, they failed to respond to Zhang Huangyan's call to send troops to Wuchang.

After that, due to the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Qing army to establish a pile defense line, Kuidong and the sea were cut off, and I don't know whether this military secretary is dead or alive.

Wang Wu knows!

After Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping, died in Taiwan, Zhang Huangyan led his troops to continue to fight in the Zhoushan area.

Several times he resisted the persuasion of Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Zhejiang.

Historically, that is, this year, after hearing that Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and others had been martyred one after another, and that the Qing army's 200,000 troops had besieged Li Laiheng, the Duke of Linguo, Zhang Huangyan, who knew that there was no hope of regaining his sight, lost confidence and disbanded the thousands of soldiers of the righteous army who followed him, and lived in seclusion on the island.

After being unfortunately told by a traitor, the Qing army crossed the island in the middle of the night and captured this Han hero who had been fighting for the Qing Dynasty all his life.

Since then, there has been another grave in West Lake.

The world calls them the "Three Heroes of West Lake".

Yue Fei, Yu Qian, Zhang Huangyan!

It was only the first month of the year, and there were still a few months before Zhang Huangyan lost confidence and disbanded the rebel army, so when Hao Shaoqi proposed the eastward expansion strategy, Wang Wu agreed without thinking.

Even though he knew that the possibility of capturing Nanjing was very small, he still resolutely agreed.

This has a lot to do with Zhang Huangyan.

If he could not conquer Nanjing, Wang Wu planned to persuade the three old commanders to lead their troops to the coast of Zhejiang, waiting for an opportunity to go to sea to get in touch with Zhang Huangyan.

When necessary, the families of the military can be sent to Taiwan.

Make it again.

Now the eastward expansion plan was vetoed by Hu Shuai and Yuan Shuai because it was too risky, and Wang Wuzi would not insist on eastward expansion.

Because once the strategy is formulated, the people below have to implement it unconditionally.

There must be no second route.

What's more, there is no comparison between eastward and northward expansion.

It's all good, it's not good.

Looking at China, apart from these two places, the Ming army had nowhere to go.

But he must give a "patch" to Zhang Gongcangshui, who is about to lose confidence, so that he can hold on any longer.

This "patch", of course, is to support the new emperor.

Li Laiheng was appointed by the Yongli Imperial Court to be the general of the imperial military affairs of the imperial camps, the crown prince Shaobao, and the Duke of Linguo, and he supported the new emperor together with Yuan Zongdi, the Duke of Yasukuni, Hao Shaoqi, the Marquis of Nan'an, as well as Hong Yuao, the minister appointed by the Yongli Imperial Court, and Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the supervising army, and so on, which was completely in line with the etiquette system.

At least, it is more qualified than the Zheng family, who nominally obeys the orders of the Yongli court, but does not obey the dispatch of the Yongli regime at all.

In the past two years, the Zheng family has entrenched in Taiwan with 100,000 troops and countless large and small sea ships, and is the largest military force of the anti-Qing group and the largest maritime armed force in East Asia.

They know that they have no name, let alone righteousness!

"Supporting the new emperor?"

Wang Wu's proposal stunned everyone in the hall, including King Han and King Andong.

"Three old handsome!"

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Wang Wu will support the new emperor and establish a new regime The significance and practical role of the five generals are one by one.

"Yes, it's time to support the new emperor."

Three years ago, he intended to support the new emperor with Yan Mingzuo's Hao Shaoqi and worked hard to support himself, "Since the martyrdom of the first emperor, I have not had a son of heaven for three years, no court, and the soldiers have become more and more negative"

actually completely agreed with Wang Wu's proposal.

Supporting the new emperor is also to justify the name of these soldiers who are still insisting on resisting the Qing Dynasty - they are not the "old thieves" in the mouth of the Qing court, but the dignified Ming officials!

In order to support the new emperor, the new son of heaven should be chosen among the kings of Han and Andong.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at himself and King Han, Zhu Shenglang, the lonely King of Anton, immediately said loudly: "The lonely ordinary clan, I just can't bear the ancestors to occupy the country for a foreign race, and the people of Li are slaughtered by the captives, so I insist on fighting with you, but I don't dare to steal the treasure, I just want to live and die with the soldiers, and I won't humiliate the ancestors after death!" ”

After saying that, he turned directly to the side of the Han King Zhu Jingli and fell to the ground, pleading: "Today, there is no master, no one has a solid will, and the soldier has no intention of holding on for a long time." Now the difficulties are even more than before, and I also ask Brother Wang to read the difficulties of Emperor Gao's entrepreneurship, remember the three hundred years of the ancestors, and ascend to the treasure as soon as possible, and call on the righteous people of the world to chase the full captives, so as to tie up the cause of my ancestors! ”

Seeing that King Anton took the lead in persuading, and King Han was also a suitable candidate for the Son of Heaven, Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng glanced at each other, and they both bowed down and persuaded them.

As soon as the two old men knelt down, the hall suddenly knelt down.

Even Hao Shaoqi, who was injured, tried to bow deeply to the king of Han.

Wang Wu, who also knelt down, raised his voice and said: "The ministers are willing to serve the king of Han as the lord and change the Yuan to Dingwu!" ”

"I am willing to serve the king of Han as the lord and change the yuan and set the martial arts!"

In the meeting hall of Guandi Temple, but the sound of the generals was heard.

"Please also ask Your Highness to conform to the will of the army, ascend to Dabao Jianyuan to change the name, raise the prestige of my Ming army, and restore my great cause of Zhongxing!"

Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the prison army, also knelt down to persuade him to advance.

As Wang Wu said before, at this time, the last tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Maolu Mountain need a hope and a court that is willing to sacrifice for it.

The guards on duty outside the hall also knelt down.

Looking at the old handsome generals who knelt in front of him to persuade him, King Han's body trembled slightly, his nose was even more sour, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

However, he said to everyone: "Today's China, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the belly is everywhere, which is the fault of my Zhu family

Alone in the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible!

Today, it is convenient for you to agree here, he can serve my Emperor Taizu Gao to expel the Tartars, restore the Chinese, and be the lord of the community! ”
