Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 50
When the public trial meeting ended, bursts of cheers erupted in front of Yancang in Minghechang Town.

The vast majority of the people in Chang Town are very grateful to this young Lu Jianguo, and even support him somewhat.As for those big merchants who were rescued by King Lu's troops at the critical moment when the city was broken last night and were about to be looted by rebels, their moods were complicated again.

He is grateful to Lu Jianguo, but also secretly dissatisfied.

Almost every family was forced to donate to help the army, and the two families of Yu Ye were forced to donate 5 taels each. Although 5 taels of silver is not too much for the two of them, they came to the army yesterday. When attacking, they also took the initiative to give out 1 taels each to reward the brave man.

But after all, it was forced, so I still felt a little dissatisfied in my heart, but there was nothing I could do.

Lu Jianguo's money is not easy to owe, Shen Wenzhong and other passers-by are more polite, but the soldiers of the Bannerman Battalion Shenji Battalion are not polite.

The military discipline was strict last night, and there was no looting at all. The only harvest was that after overthrowing the thousand or so rebels, they found some looted items from the rebels.Everyone is waiting for these wealthy households to donate more, so that His Highness Jian Guo can have silver to give everyone rewards.

"King Yiyang?"

In a courtyard of the salt field, Zhu Yihai, who took time out, sat down with Shen Chenquan, Zhang Mingyang and others to discuss matters.

Before the officers of the rebel army were killed, they were interrogated by surprise, and they also learned that there is another prison country in Wudi, and even when they talked about the prison country, they raised their flags almost at the same time of.

And they now claim to have 20 horses, even stronger than Lu Jianguo.

Zhu Yihai has recovered the three prefectures of Yuedi, but King Yiyang has already sent troops from Wudi to Vietnam, and even Huang Binqing has long been sent by King Yiyang.

This is very surprising.

No wonder Huang Binqing didn't even look down on the earl bestowed by Zhu Yihai. It turned out that he had already organized himself.

This Chen Wu was actually the Boss of Zhendong who was appointed by King Yiyang, and he even came to be the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, but there was another dynasty that went south together first, but it was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Zhang Mingyang is still like a wooden man, "What qualifications does King Yiyang have to supervise the country? He is just a county king of Zhou Fan!"

Zhu Yihai also felt a little troublesome.

The king of Zhou in the late Ming Dynasty was relatively famous. Li Zicheng opened the Fengfu three times, and he attacked the domain of Zhou Xiaowang Zhu Gongzhang, and this Zhou king had a much better reputation than King Fu. Facing Li Zicheng, he opened the Fengfu three times. All the silver was taken out, and rewards were given for brave resistance. One thief was captured with one hundred taels, and one thief was killed with 50 taels.

With this, he prevented the invading army from attacking the city again and again, and even made the servants of his palace look hungry.

In the end, it was unstoppable, and the Yellow River embankment was dug to flood the Kaifeng mansion, leading the gentry and officials in the city to escape from Kaifeng.

It is also said that after Chongzhen hanged himself and died for the country, Zhou Wang Fu Wang Lu Wang and other kings were in Huaidi. At that time, Nanjing Civil and Military Affairs even planned to support Zhou Wang as emperor.It's just that King Zhou was seriously ill at the time and died not long after.

Established the title of Hongguang, set up its capital in Nanjing, and named the son of the Zhou king's son as the new Zhou king.

However, this grandson of King Zhou Xiao was very cowardly. After King Lu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he immediately crossed the river and surrendered.

"Zhu Chaoqiang? Impossible, according to the family name of the Zhou family, isn't this Yiyang King Zhu Chaoqiang the great-uncle of Zhou Xiaowang? He is the ancestor of the Zhou King Zhu Lunkui who came to the Qing Dynasty before? Why is there such a big difference in generation? Is it fake?" Shen Wenzhong expressed doubts.

Zhu Yihai believed that it was impossible to cheat in this regard. After all, according to the information obtained today, there are quite a few supporters for this Yiyang King, including Huaiyang Governor Tian Yang, Household Minister Shen Tingyang, Superintendent Jing Benche, and Huang Binqing , Chen Wu, Wang Chaoxian, Wu Zhikui and other general military officers support, these people are not low in status, it is impossible to be deceived by a fake county king.

"It has been nearly 300 years since the founding of the Taizu, and there have been many branches in various feudal clans. Some are fast and some are slow. It is normal to have a big difference in generation."

King Zhu Chao of Yiyang is the seventh grandson of the first king of Zhou, King Xiao of Zhou is the tenth grandson, and the Zhou king entrusted by Hongguang is the twelfth grandson. There is a difference of five generations, but considering that it is nearly 300 years after all, the difference of five generations is not bad. possible.

It's like Zhu Yihai is the tenth grandson of Taizu, Chongzhen is the eleventh grandson of Taizu, King Tang is the ninth grandson of Taizu, and Zhu Chaogong is the eighth grandson of Taizu, they are all different.

Now I can only believe that Zhu Chaogong is the authentic King of Yiyang. After all, the key to the question is not whether he is true or false, but that he has been supported by a group of civil servants and military generals in the Sanwu area. The giant Chen Zilong Xia Yunyi and others have already supported it.

Also known as 20 soldiers and horses.

This is no different from a great blow to Zhu Yihai's new Lu Jianguo court.

Previously, Zhu Yihai had been thinking about Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, thinking about how to take the throne and supervise the country before him, seize the opportunity, and occupy the orthodoxy.

But who would have thought that this would be an extra problem, and another King of Yiyang would come to supervise the country.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were a lot of various supervisors and emperors in the history of Nanming. country.

Even the King Jingjiang of Guangxi has been in charge of the country, and it seems that there are also county kings in Jiangxi who have been in charge of the country. It seems that there is indeed a king of Yiyang in the Suchang area.

However, they quickly failed when they raised troops in the Susong area, so it is not very clear whether they have formally supervised the country.

Although Zhu Yihai can roughly guess the main reason why the king of Yiyang now claims to have 20 soldiers and has not yet caused any trouble. Look at the chief soldiers under him, and look at Chen Wu, Huang Binqing, etc. who are going south now. They are all deserters.

Escaping is faster one by one. Since the Qing army has occupied important places in the south of the Yangtze River like Su Song, they will not easily give them a chance to make a comeback, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, where there is no danger to defend.

Without a bit of willpower, nothing will happen.

Shen Chenquan seemed a little excited.

"Unexpectedly, in the land of the Three Wus, there are so many imperial soldiers and horses. They beat up my family by mistake last night."

Zhu Yihai sneered disdainfully, "What do you expect for a fugitive general like Chen Wu?"

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen and ask them to withdraw their troops for now, so that their own family members will not fight their own family members? At this time, they should join forces to fight against the captives. How can there be internal strife?"

Zhu Yihai is not satisfied with Shen Chenquan's innocence, but he can understand his thoughts, after all, the Tartars are powerful now.

But he would not trust Chen Wu and the others, nor would he trust Yiyang King and the others, because history has long proven that they cannot be supported.

Who is Huang Binqing, the land and water official appointed by the king of Yiyang to recruit the general army officer?

In history, this guy either fled the Qing army or retreated to Zhoushan, but he made several raids and annexed the Ming army who resisted the Qing Dynasty. Loot ship supplies.

He also refused to retreat to Zhoushan when King Lu was in crisis.

Is this kind of person a human being?
According to the evaluation of historical books, Huang Binqing was afraid of the enemy, but brave enough to harm his kind.

And the Chen Wu in front of me came to Ningbo from Jiaxing, even if he came to be the governor, at least he must have the appearance of the governor of the court, and he would plunder and mutilate the people as soon as he came, what kind of official army?
If you expect this group of people to restore the world and rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, you might as well count on Zhang Xianzhong's Xiying and Li Zicheng's Shunjun.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong’s remaining troops’ Xiying Camp and Li Zicheng’s remaining troops’ Zhongzhen Camp really persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty for decades, aren’t they better than these so-called general soldiers?

But at this time, Zhu Yihai really had to consider a problem, that is, no matter what, since they played the flag of the prison, they were also considered a court, and if there was internal fighting at this time, it would be regarded as a dispute over orthodoxy.

"I haven't figured out yet about King Chongming of Yiyang supervising the country. I will send envoys to contact me to find out. If it is true that the descendants of the Taizu led the fight against the Qing Dynasty, I will be overjoyed.

At that time, who will be regarded as the orthodox, or whether Wu and Yue will join forces to resist the captives, restore Nanjing in the future, and worship Xiaoling together, this is a later story. "

He slowed down, and said to Shen Chenquan, "But right now, I don't care whether Chen Wu is the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian or not. I only see him harming the people and poisoning the place, so I must not sit idly by, let alone tolerate it."

"Gu resolutely wants to get rid of Chen Wu first. If this person had taken the initiative to tell the truth when Gu sent someone to contact him yesterday, and he could restrain his subordinates, everything is easy to talk about. Now that he is in this situation, Gu will never allow him!"

As soon as the word Wu Yue came out, it actually showed Zhu Yihai's attitude, no matter whether King Yiyang was real or not, he would never give up his status as supervisor of the country anyway.

The worst situation is that Wu and Yue will not invade each other, join forces to fight against the captives, and in the future, the king who will restore Nanjing first.

Zhejiang has been divided into two Zhejiang provinces since ancient times, with the Qiantang River as the boundary. The left side of the river is also called the east of Zhejiang, and the right side of the river is also called the west of Zhejiang. The east of Zhejiang is mainly mountainous, which was called Yue in ancient times, and the right side of the river is mainly the Jiahuhang Plain. It belonged to Wudi in ancient times, and the culture of Wusong area is closer.

There are eight prefectures in Zhejiang, the three prefectures of Hangjiahu in the west of Zhejiang, and the eight prefectures of Wenchu ​​and Jinquyan in the east of Zhejiang in addition to Ningshaotai.

Zhu Yihai called several soldiers, wrote several letters, and sent them to Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen, and Wang Mingqian, Wang Xiang, Qian Sule and others who stayed behind.

"Tell Governor Wang and Chief Zhang that no matter who Chen Wu claims to be, I want them to take down this thief as planned and restore peace in eastern Zhejiang as soon as possible."

"Let General Wang Mingqian and Qian Shilang beware of Wang Chaoxian and Huang Binqing. These two deliberately concealed information from us. They must have ulterior motives and ulterior motives. Beware of them taking advantage of the situation."

"If they dare to lead troops to attack, just beat them hard!"

"Your Highness, when the country is in crisis, why don't you be more tolerant towards generals? Bear with each other for the sake of the country." Shen Chenquan persuaded
Zhu Yihai shook his head, and replied without hesitation, "The weaker the country is, the more we cannot tolerate these national thieves. No matter what civil servants, military generals, gentry, or common people, if they dare to raise their swords at the people of Ming Dynasty, they will be the first to be attacked. !"
