Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 70
Compared with Ma Shiruan's magnanimity, Ruan Dacheng was more treacherous and cunning, and he was finally surrendered.

Zhu Yihai thought about it carefully. In fact, after he set up the banner of Jian Guo, the Jian Guo court was not really established. On the surface, the eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang have already embraced him, but in fact, Ning Shao is the one who is really more influential. Tai San Fu.

Not to mention Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and Yunnan, even the Jinyanqu and Wenchu ​​five prefectures are beyond reach, whether it is Fang Guoan or Ma Shiying, Zhu Yihai is actually completely out of control now.

"Ma Shiying is called to join the ranks as Guanglu Shaoqing, and Ruan Dacheng is the imperial servant Shaoqing!"

"Zhu Dadian is a Bachelor of Wenhua University, a supervisor of CCB, and has jurisdiction over the three prefectures of Jinhua, Quzhou, and Yanzhou, and is also the governor of Anhui!"

Zhu Yihai dictated, and Shen Chenquan drafted the edict.

"Your Highness, I think there are two other people that His Highness forgot to deal with properly. One is Zhu Yujian, King of Nanyang who is currently recruiting soldiers and buying horses to raise the flag in Quzhou, and the other is the Zheng family from Fujian."

"I heard that after Nanjing fell, Zheng Hongkui, the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, supported King Nanyang and went south. After King Lu of Hangzhou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Hongkui persuaded him to enter several times. Huang Daozhou, Su Guansheng and others went south together to persuade him to enter."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Zhu Yihai said calmly, "Didn't Uncle Huang refuse?"

The first thing he did when he crossed over was to rush to become the supervisor of the country before Zhu Yujian. After the prisoner set off to go south to Linhai, he specially asked Zhang Guojun and Liu Chao to send troops to chase Zhu Yujian, just to avoid the internal strife between Tang and Lu.

Perhaps it was his time travel that changed history.

Zhu Yujian went all the way to Quzhou under the escort of Zheng Hongkui and others, and then changed with the historical process.First, Zhu Yujian expressed dissatisfaction with Zheng Hongkui's sending troops to attack Quzhou to burn, kill and loot, and wanted to make an agreement with Zheng for three chapters.

As a result, Zheng Hongkui was very domineering and refused to obey, and then the king of Nanyang was also a stubborn person, so he refused to supervise the country.Originally, according to the historical trajectory, Zhu Yujian eventually went south to Fujian to supervise the country.

But now when they were having conflicts, Zhu Yihai's emissary rushed to catch up with him. The leading emissary was Chen Hanhui's younger brother. Like Chen Hanhui, he also studied under Huang Daozhou's name.

Before Huang Daozhou embraced King Nanyang to go south to Fujian, he even sent a letter to his disciple Chen Hanhui inviting him to go south. As a result, Chen Hanhui felt that there was no hope of saving the country and planned to commit suicide to die for the country.

Now he sent his younger brother to the teacher under the guard of Jinyi and Dongchang personnel, and sent a letter from his elder brother, telling him that King Lu had ascended the throne in Taizhou to supervise the country, and how brave and decisive King Lu was.

In short, there is hope for Daming again, and this Lu Jianguo is very decisive, definitely better than King Gui, King Lu, etc., let the teacher return to Taizhou to participate in important events.

After receiving this letter, Huang Daozhou was tangled up.

Originally, he planned to go to Guangxi to have King Gui, who was the most qualified to succeed the Qing Dynasty, but he met Zheng Hongkui and King Nanyang on the way, and he also knew about the former Tang king Zhu Yujian, and he admired him even more along the way, so he also Decided to embrace Zhu Yujian and supervise the country to succeed.

But who knows that an accident happened in Quzhou, Zhu Yujian had a conflict with Zheng Hongkui first, and he and Su Guansheng also tried to mediate in every possible way, but the effect was not great.

Zhu Yujian's attitude was very firm, thinking that if the Zheng family refused to even such a simple agreement, then there would be no talk of supporting him to supervise the restoration of the country against the Qing Dynasty.

And Zheng Hongkui obviously wanted to take this opportunity to show off his prestige, to let this prince understand that my Zheng family has soldiers, horses, money, food, and land, and if we are willing to embrace you, then we think highly of you. Four, five, six, set up rules and talk about conditions.

No one is willing to make concessions first, and they all feel that this precedent cannot be set.

This came and went, but something happened.

Huang Daozhou discussed with Su Guansheng privately after reading the letter, and the two also hesitated for a while.

With such hesitation, Zhu Yujian and Zheng Hongkui had a stalemate for a few more days, and they stayed in Quzhou temporarily.And more news kept coming, Lu Jian raised the flag of national righteousness, Ning Shaotai responded, why Yu Ying was in Yue, volunteers from all walks of life gathered in Qiantang, in short, the momentum was getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of Zhejiang who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, went to persuade Lu Jianguo himself to lead his troops anyway and so on.

Gradually, both Huang Daozhou and Su Guansheng hesitated. Before the situation collapsed, they both wanted to save the situation, but who would have thought that a Lu Jianguo would stand up now, and he would be so good, and won the support of the army and people in eastern Zhejiang Woolen cloth?
Then why bother to look far away?

With the prison country already in place, wouldn't it be self-defeating to embrace it again?
In contrast, King Nanyang and Zheng Hongkui, who were still in a stalemate over there, after repeated discussions, went to see Zhu Yujian, supervised the king of Lu in eastern Zhejiang, and got the support of the soldiers and civilians in Ning, Shao, and Taiwan. The situation is very good. said.

Zhu Yujian's reaction was also very calm, he politely asked the two of them for their opinions.

Huang Daozhou and Su Guansheng believed that originally everyone wanted to support His Highness to supervise the country, but because of the delay of these days, King Lu first supervised the country and made such a big noise, so maybe it was destined by heaven.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Your Highness is also requested to put state affairs and the overall situation at the top of the list. Why don't you go up to the table and support King Lu to supervise the country, so that Daming's own family will not be in chaos first.

After hearing what these two said, Zhu Yujian heaved a sigh of relief.

He expressed happily that this may indeed be destined by God, and he agreed to write a letter in person, expressing his support for King Lu to supervise the country, but he also has a small request, that is, he does not plan to go to Fujian or Guangxi.

He hoped that Lu Jianguo would let him stay in Quzhou, and he didn't want to just be a vassal who couldn't go anywhere like before. He hoped that he could come out and contribute his own strength when the country was in danger.

He wants to recruit volunteers, form an army, and go north to fight against the captives and the Tartars, just like in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

This request sounds excessive and violates the ancestral system.

However, since the king of Nanyang was willing to abdicate, Huang Daozhou and the others still admired them very much, and immediately expressed their willingness to write to Lu Jianguo to request Zhu Yujian to restore the title of king of Tang. The prison country agrees.

After reaching an agreement on this matter, Zhu Yujian, Huang Daozhou, Su Guansheng and others summoned Zheng Hongkui and told him the process and results.

Zheng Hongkui was not happy when he heard it.

At this time, he said that King Lu in eastern Zhejiang was not qualified to supervise the country at all, and he did not have the strength to stop the Qing army. He hoped that Zhu Yujian could follow him back to Fujian to become the supervisor of the country, and the Zheng family was willing to support him to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, Zhu Yujian had seen through Zheng Hongkui, and decided that this guy had no good intentions. Even if he went to Fujian, he was just a puppet at his mercy, and Zhu Yujian had no intention of changing his mind.

The two sides had a final quarrel and broke up unhappy.

The extremely angry Zheng Hongkui originally wanted to tie Zhu Jianjian to the south to Fujian, but seeing his firm attitude, he simply left him alone and led his troops to withdraw to Fujian.

The situation in Quzhou spread to Taizhou, and then to Zhu Yihai. It can be said that the unexpected development of the matter took him by surprise.

But that's a good thing after all.

The only thing he was worried about was that after Zheng Hongkui returned to Fujian, the Zheng family might not be willing to do so. Maybe they would turn around and support King Gui, or support Zhu Yujian's younger brother Tang Wang Zhu Yu'e to proclaim himself emperor. With strong strength, capital and strength, how can you let go of this opportunity to strengthen your own power?

Although the Zheng Group in history, in the history of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, always seemed short-sighted and had no ambitions. Son Zheng Sen is very heroic.

After the chaos and collapse of the Zheng family abruptly, the Zheng family was reintegrated, and it was able to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty for many years, and even recovered Taiwan from the Dutch.

Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Cai and others couldn't get rid of the pirates' and businessmen's tricks, and Zhu Yihai had been thinking about how to deal with them.

"I think Nanyang King should be rewarded for being so magnanimous at this time. In terms of seniority, he is His Royal Highness's uncle. It is better to restore his old title of Tang King. However, he wants to break the ancestral system and change his title to Quzhou to recruit soldiers to go north. Nothing can be promised.”

Zhu Yihai looked at the blue sea and blue sky, but he had another thought.

"Lonely, I feel that when the country is in crisis, the descendants of the great ancestors should all serve to save the country. Zhu Yujian is a lonely uncle. He committed crimes and was demoted to a commoner during Chongzhen. The title of King Tang was changed to his younger brother Yu'e. The current Tang Wang Yu'e is not at fault. , how can we take Tang Wangjue away now?"

"Gu thinks that it would be better to redesignate the King of Nanyang as King Deng and restore the title of prince, but the title will be granted separately. As for his desire to seal off the town of Quzhou, and even to attack the Qing Dynasty, this is a good thing."

"In this way, the decree is to enter Nanyang Wang Yujian as the King of Deng, seal the town of Quzhou, pay homage to the General Zhenglu, and lead the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion!"

"Special decree that King Deng can recruit three battalions of royal guards, with a force of 2 soldiers, and the line will provide food and salaries. First, [-] taels of silver."

"Your Highness, no, how can the clan lead the army? Once the head is opened, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of what? In today's troubled times, anyone who really wants to have ideas can't control him," Zhu Yihai said calmly, just like Yiyang King Zhu Chaoqiu, he is called the supervisor in Chongming, can Zhu Yihai control him?

There are also people such as King Jingjiang who will definitely stand up in the future to call Jian Guo or even become emperor, this cannot be stopped.Now that Zhu Yujian is willing to give up not fighting for the position of supervisor, Zhu Yihai naturally has to show something.He wants to recruit troops to attack the Qing Dynasty, so he agrees.

As long as he doesn't go south to Fujian, then he doesn't have to worry about going north. A prince, without the title of Jian Guo or Emperor, has no capital to compete with Zhu Yihai, the Jian Guo.

General Zhenglu had a long history in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Lan Yu all paid homage to General Zhenglu for his expedition to Mobei, and such famous generals as Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde, and Wang Bi were just Lieutenant general.

But now, even if Zhu Yihai gave the general a seal of Zhu Yu's key, what's the point.

Adding a mansion who is also in command of the Chinese military governor's office is nothing more than an empty title.

What Zhu Yihai really gave Zhu Yujian was to allow him to restore the third battalion of guards, but only [-] soldiers. Zhu Yujian did not have the support of the Zheng family in Fujian, and he did not have the title of supervisor or emperor. With the title of King Deng, he was allowed to recruit [-] soldiers. Don't worry.

If a few empty titles can appease Zhu Yujian and avoid internal strife in Tang Lu, Zhu Yihai thinks it is very cost-effective.

"What about the Zheng family in Fujian? They intend to support the Nanyang king and supervise the country. They plan to control the southeast coast. They have a strong army and horses, especially the sea power is extremely strong, and they also monopolize the southeast maritime trade. They must be treated carefully."

"Actually, the Zheng family was originally a group of pirates, and they only benefited from a better reputation. These people cannot be trusted, but they must be recruited right now." Zhu Yihai pondered for a long time, "I miss you writing."

"Added the title of Fujian General Town and Nan'an Bo Zheng Zhilong as the governor of Fujian, Jin granted Nan'an.

Zheng Hongkui, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, was added as Dinglubo, the commander-in-chief of Fujian admiral. "

"Create Zheng Zhibao as Cheng Jibo, the commander-in-chief of Funing Town, and Zheng Cai as Yongsheng Bo, the commander-in-chief of Jianning Town."

"Give the surname of Zheng Senguo, the son of Zhilong, and give him the name of success. He is awarded the post of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he is called to form a naval battalion. He is appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief."

Zhu Yihai granted the Zheng family a governor, three chief soldiers, one deputy chief soldier, one marquis, three earls, and one hereditary thousand households.

Shen Chenquan drew up a draft edict, and said, "His Highness is so kind and rewarding, and the Zheng family of Fujian will support it wholeheartedly."

Zhu Yihai just smiled, he didn't have the slightest hope for the Zheng family, and now he just wanted to appease them, hoping that they would not disrupt the situation in the rear, but it is very likely that the Zheng family would not be satisfied.

People, all have to look forward to Shu.

"Your Highness, there is land in front of you. Look, it is Qinwang Mountain! According to legend, when Qin Shihuang visited Haiyan, he once climbed this mountain to look at Haiyan City." Zhang Mingyang came to report.

Zhu Yihai raised his head, and sure enough land appeared in the distance.

It is said that there are more than 20 Qinwang Mountains in various parts of China, all of which are named after Qin Shihuang climbed the mountain to look far away, and there are Qinwang Mountains in Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Haiyan in Zhejiang.

Haining, the destination of Zhu Yihai's trip, is actually the Acropolis of Haining, which is in Haiyan County in Jiaxing Prefecture, not in Haining County in Hangzhou Prefecture.

In the south of Haiyan County, there is Qinwang Mountain, also called Qinzhu Mountain. It is also a rare high point on the western Zhejiang plain.

"I suggest sending a team to go ashore for reconnaissance at night first. If there are no enemies nearby, build a camp on Qinwang Mountain first. This place is condescending, the coast is next to the river, and you can have a panoramic view of Haiyan City. It is a place that must be contested by military strategists."

"Okay, I will follow Qing's advice." Zhu Yihai followed suit with remonstrance.
