Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 275 Clothes belt edict, who said that Manchus cannot be two ministers and three ministers? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Of course Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua saw Prince Zhu's eyes asking for help.

And although there was no joy or anger on their faces, they still had something to say!

Now that Huaibei has won a great victory, Jiangnan and Jiangbei still have such a big cake waiting for the big guys to share, how can they not say anything?
"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, Huaibei has won a great victory, and Jinling is also expected to win. The situation is not bad. But the country was founded, and there is no savings in the treasury over the years, and the only wealthy territory controlled by the imperial court is Nanjing. Now it is using troops again and again. , The cost is huge, Yingtian Mansion's treasury is empty, and Jiangbei's military funds are still unknown? Dongwang wants to supervise Jiangnan Chen, the Minister of the Household Department, and he really doesn't know how to raise military salaries."

Hearing Lu Sanhao's words, Third Prince Zhu nodded again and again, and then looked at Chen Yonghua, hoping that he could sing with Lu Sanhao and use the military expenses to stick Geng Jingzhong's neck.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, I am willing to share the country's worries, and go to Yangzhou and Huai'an in the north of the Yangtze River to pay official debts to the salt merchants there and sell their fame to raise military pay."

Chen Yonghua's words made Third Prince Zhu suspect that Geng Jingzhong, Lu Sanhao, and Chen Yonghua had colluded secretly.

Geng Jingzhong wanted to supervise Jiangnan, Lu Sanhao said that the treasury had no money, and Chen Yonghua immediately said that he would go to Jiangbei to find salt merchants to pay official debts and sell fame. They must have agreed?Is this to distribute the Jiangbei and Huainan lands in Jiangsu to Chen and Lu?
"Dong Wang, look at the matter of Chen Shangshu going to Yangzhou and Huai'an"

"Jianguo, I feel that Chen Zhongtang will definitely be able to recover the Yang, Huai, and Tong prefectures and one state for the imperial court." Geng Jingzhong immediately agreed, "As long as Yang, Huai, and Tong are recovered, Yue Le will be able to escape to the north." Just cut it off completely, and you will become a turtle in the court's urn!"

"But Yang, Huai, and Tong prefectures are in the north of the Yangtze River, so they should be under the supervision of the Jiangbei governor!"

Geng Jingzhong said: "You can let the Jiangbei governor supervise Jiangxi's military affairs in exchange for the right to confiscate the Huaiyang land."

Jiangxi is to the south of the Yangtze River, so it should be under the supervision of the Jiangnan supervisor, but Geng Jingzhong is willing to exchange the interests of Jiangxi for the interests of Huaiyang, and then give Huaiyang to Chen Yonghua and Lu Sanhao. In addition, Liu Jinzhong was also assigned to Xuzhou and Haizhou and owned The power to conquer Henan and Shandong.

Everyone has a share in this two kings and three middle halls, have they already agreed in private?

The third prince Zhu felt a little more at ease now, as long as the two kings and the three middle halls can maintain a balance, then his Emperor Mingxian will be stable.As long as Emperor Xian can be stable, he can lie down with peace of mind.

"Okay, as long as you can make an agreement with Li Zhongshan, then Gu can rest assured. By the way, Chen Yonghua, if you go to Yangzhou to raise more money this time, can you give Gu a little bit? Gu doesn't want to spend money randomly, Gu just wants to renovate this Prince Ding's Mansion. After the Fuming Conference is over, the Prince Ding's Mansion will be converted into a palace, so as not to spend huge sums of money to restore the imperial city."

It is really enough to "dedicate" the imperial city that Xiandi was supposed to be.

Chen Yonghua said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to raise a large sum of money for your Majesty to repair the palace."

"Okay, okay," the third prince Zhu said three times in a row, looking very satisfied, then pondered for a while, and then said: "How is the Fuming Conference going? Now the siege of Nanjing will be lifted soon, and the recovery of the southeast is just around the corner. , can we officially restore Daming?"

"Reporting to the Supervisory Kingdom, everything is ready to restore the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing we need is the east wind!" Hearing this, it was a thin old man who left the class, Huang Zongxi, the official leader of the Confucian Reformation School. Zhongshan invented an official position that fits the spirit of "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen".The specific task is to preside over a political meeting like the Fuming Conference!

While the defense of Nanjing was going on, the Fuming Conference hosted by Huang Zongxi was also in operation.

Don’t think that this Fuming Conference is still in session when the war is raging outside Nanjing, just to make trouble. In fact, on the contrary, this Fuming Conference has a great effect on mobilizing the people of Nanjing to participate in the war.Because this conference is actually a "national people discussing politics" conference!
Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua will raise money again, and it is impossible to raise enough money to pay 10,000+ "national militiamen" in the endangered city of Nanjing. Therefore, to make them voluntarily defend Daming, they must transfer their corresponding rights.This means that obligations and rights must be equal!
And this corresponding right is the people's discussion of state affairs, and according to the Zhou system, the people's right to discuss state affairs includes "inquiring about the relocation of the country", "inquiring about the dangers of the country", "inquiring about the establishment of a monarch" and so on.

In the previous situation in Nanjing, there was no place to move the country if you wanted to "relocate the country". The national crisis was already great, and it was at stake!So we have to discuss it carefully and see what to do?Then there is Lijun!This is the place where the rights of the people of the country are best reflected, and when the rights of the people of the country are reflected, they will have a strong sense of identity with the new Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as the Battle of Nanjing, or even the Battle of Southeast Asia is not over, it is best not to end the Fuming Conference. "I have an extreme sense of identity with the new Ming Dynasty.They are even more motivated to defend Daming!

Of course, this countryman can't be done by an individual. He has to have fame (mostly bought with money) or has fought for the country to be a countryman.

However, for a matter as big as the restoration of Ming Dynasty, it is not enough for the Chinese people in Nanjing to discuss it. At least the Chinese people in several southeastern provinces should discuss it together.

And to invite representatives from Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Shaanxi to Nanjing for a meeting, the defense of Nanjing must be won. It is best that the Nanjing court can sweep the southeast.

Third Prince Zhu nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, Dong Wang, Chen Zhongtang, when the widow's east wind will blow, it's up to you!"

Nanjing, Longjiangguan port.

The third prince Zhu officially appointed Chen Yonghua as the supervisor of Huaiyang.This Huaiyang Expedition was a joint venture between Chen Yonghua and Lu Sanhao, so the Lu divisions dispatched from Nanjing were all trained by Lu Sanhao's Yingtian Regiment.And near the Longjiangkou Wharf, there were a large number of family members who came to see off Ying Tiantuan's military training. When they were parting from life and death, they were inevitably a little excited and let out waves of hoarse shouts.

In a long pavilion by the pier, two courtiers in black yarn and python robes were talking in a low voice.Of course, the two courtiers in black yarn python robes are Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua in the Nanjing Sanzhong Hall.

Looking at the scene of the army marching out of the port, the brows of the two men were not untied.

"Brother San, you have a total of 5000 to [-] regiments for military training. Is it too much for me to take away [-] this time? Or should I leave [-] more?"

"Why do you want to keep five thousand?"

"Geng Jingzhong made it clear that he would not leave the city with his 3000 elite soldiers. Shang Zhixin and his brothers and 7000 people should not leave the city either. This is [-]! Your [-] people can Deal with it? Miyoshi, you didn't get some words from King Xi, did you?"

Lu Sanhao smiled faintly: "Now Geng Jingzhong pushes out loyal ministers and good generals to supervise Jiangbei, and he is taking the emperor and ordering the princes in Nanjing, and the alternate emperor will issue an order to ask the princes in other towns to send troops to serve Wang Qingjun. Fufu, what does this seem like? It happened!"

"Three good! Don't be joking," Chen Yonghua frowned, "We are our own people, if King Xi can come to Nanjing, you can't hide it from me!"

"He can't come!" Lu Sanhao shook his head, "Li Zicheng won't give way, and Jieshu has to stop him. Besides, I'm from Yunnan! I'm not from Guanning Cavalry or Shanshan Rebel Army. You can't be in the middle hall!"

"Okay! We really are our own people," Chen Yonghua nodded, "Then how do you plan to fight against Geng Jingzhong?"

"Geng Jingzhong wants to be the emperor!" Lu San laughed, "I won't argue with him about this. Whoever fights with him should find a way to deal with it! Fufu, shouldn't your joint brother Chen Hanlin go? Did the third prince talk about it?"

Chen Yonghua smiled: "I'm already talking!"

The Chen Hanlin mentioned by Lu Sanhao is Chen Menglei. He is now the Hanlin scholar next to the third prince Zhu, and the only bachelor in the Daming Imperial Academy. He has to manage the cursive edicts and advise the third prince Zhu. He is really reused by no one. the point.

However, it was Chen Yonghua who really gave Chen Menglei the kindness to know him. It was Chen Yonghua who recommended him to the third prince Zhu and secured him the position of the only bachelor in the Hanlin Academy.

At this time, the only scholar of the Hanlin Academy was slandering the third prince Zhu in the harem (back garden) of Prince Ding's mansion!
"Your Highness, now Li Zhongtang and Chen Zhongtang are not in Nanjing, and Chen Zhongtang has taken away [-] elite soldiers under Lu Zhongtang. Once the siege of Nanjing is lifted, King Geng Dong will be able to withdraw from Taiping Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Chizhou Mansion and other places dispatched troops to Beijing, and Nanjing was about to be controlled by him. This Gengdong King has always had a heart of disobedience. If he is allowed to control Nanjing and then wipe out Jiangnan, His Highness will be in danger. Even if His Highness is willing to be a Emperor Xian, he may not be willing to be Emperor Wen of Wei! There are not many things in history that the emperor of the previous dynasty can die well!"

The slanderous Third Prince Zhu is scared again!

The third prince was originally in a pavilion, listening to his beloved beauty Yang playing the piano, while listening to Chen Hanlin's slander, but now he lost interest in listening to the piano, and waved to the beauty, telling her to stop playing.Why did he ponder for a while before saying to Chen Hanlin: "Chen Hanlin, can I trust you?"

Chen Menglei hurriedly knelt down to the third prince Zhu, "Your Highness, if you know Your Highness, I will go through fire and water, and I will be devastated!"

Third Prince Zhu thought to himself: It was Kangxi and Chen Yonghua who knew you!Forget it, no one is available!
"The only one we can rely on now is the King of the North!" Third Prince Zhu said lightly.

"Northern King?" Chen Menglei was taken aback, "Isn't the Northern King a member of the Eastern King?"

"He's from the Yongwei Camp." Third Prince Zhu sighed, "Chen Hanlin, the lonely family has arranged for you to send an order to the outside world. You go to Xuzhou to convey to the Northern King the intention of appointing him as the governor of Henan and Shandong. .By the way, bring another piece of clothing to King Bei!"

Belt?

Clothes belt edict?
Is the northern king Liu Jinzhong really the third prince?Chen Menglei was secretly taken aback, this Northern King looked like he belonged to Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin!If he really belongs to the Third Prince, then the Third Prince has hidden it too deeply!
At the same time, in the East King's Mansion in the Imperial City of Nanjing, East King Geng Jingzhong was discussing with his confidantes the matter of pacifying Jiangnan!
He can't just want to usurp the throne!
If he wants to seek to usurp the throne, he must have the capital and prestige, but he is not as good as Li Zhongshan in these two things now. Li Zhongshan is busy attacking Lujiang and Anqing, digesting the territory of Huainan and Huaibei, and has no time to manage Nanjing until he is done. , it's time to compete with Geng Jingzhong for the third prince Zhu.

Therefore, Geng Jingzhong had to pacify Jiangnan as soon as possible before Li Zhongshan came to Qingjun's side, and he had to preserve his strength as much as possible.

But he is not helpless, although he may not be able to beat Yue Le, but he and Yue Le are actually relatives, and the relationship is quite close.

Geng Jingzhong's brother, Geng Juzhong, is Yue Le's son-in-law, married Yue Le's daughter and Princess Shuo Roujia, and is now serving in front of Yue Le's army.When Yue Le besieged Nanjing earlier, he asked Geng Juzhong to write a letter to trick Geng Jingzhong into surrendering.However, Geng Jingzhong was not fooled and persisted until victory.

But now, Geng Jingzhong is going to persuade Yue Le to surrender through his brother instead!

"Persuade Yue Le to surrender? But Yue Le is a Manchurian!"

Hearing Geng Jingzhong's fantastic idea, Shang Zhixin was shocked.

Yue Le is the Prince of Daqing'an, and he was the Da Zongzheng of Aixinjueluo's family. Is it reasonable for him to surrender and become a second minister?

"What's wrong with this?" Geng Jingzhong snorted, "Can he go back? Even if he can go back, will Kangxi and the regent Wang Fuquan be able to spare him? He sent a wave in Sichuan, and sent another in Huaibei." One wave. Adding up the two sides, almost half of Manchuria's elite was sent away. With him like this, he still has the face to be a second minister, no, he is a third minister!"

"Why are you three ministers?"

Geng Jingzhong patted his chest, "Isn't there still me? He can surrender to Daming first, and then surrender to me. Then he will be the relative of the emperor and the father-in-law of the country!"

"Why is he the head of the state?" Shang Zhixin couldn't understand again, "His daughter is married to your third brother!"

Geng Jingzhong waved his hand: "It's not like he only has one daughter. He has so many daughters, one for you and one for me. We will all be relatives from now on!"

Yue Le can indeed give birth!

In history, he had twenty sons and 23 daughters!It's almost a fight with the monk.However, the survival rate of his children is not high, and a lot of them were caused by smallpox, but most of the children of Shang Kexi's family were vaccinated since childhood, and their survival rate is relatively high.

But even though the survival rate is low, Yue Le still has a lot of daughters who can be married, and most of his daughters are quite likable. I can't control it.When other people do this, he is in charge of it, and he does it himself. Who will take care of it?
So Yue Le's daughters are more beautiful. Geng Jingzhong has been greedy for his sister-in-law when he was in Beijing, but he has already married the tigress of the Haoge family, so he doesn't dare to think about Yue Le's family anymore.

But now he is powerful, and he is the Eastern King of Ming Dynasty!And his original partner was left in Beijing by him!
"I Da Gong," Geng Jingzhong said again, "You and Yue Le are very familiar, you can help me go to Qixia Mountain and persuade him not to die. He can't beat Wu Sangui, and he can't beat Wang Datou , the Qing Dynasty is over!"

Shang Zhixin is a good buddy of Shunzhi, and Yue Le is a good cousin of Shunzhi. When Shunzhi was around, they all played with Shunzhi. I really think back to those days when my classmates were teenagers!

I didn't expect it to be like this now!
Shang Zhixin couldn't bear to see his good brother and prospective father-in-law turn around and be beaten to death by Li Zhongshan, so he took Geng Jingzhong's autograph letter and took several members of the Shang family to Qixia Mountain camp as envoys.

When he arrived at Qixia Temple, Yue Le was instructing his subordinates to pack up and prepare to retreat!The temple was chaotic, full of panicked officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

Yue Le sat in his study with his sleeves covered, his eyes glazed over, wanting to cry without tears.

He lost this battle inexplicably. As long as that Gestai is a little more cautious, when Mu Zhan's infantry arrives, there will be no problem. Even if he is defeated, he can still retreat to Xuzhou.

But this guy just took the plunge. This is actually empiricism that hurts people. This old man hasn't fought for many years. He thought he met the Ming army in the Chongzhen year or the Southern Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that he would meet the Huaixi Red Scarf Ming Dynasty? military!
Just when he didn't know what to do, one of his aides walked in, leaned into his ear and whispered: "My lord, there is a man named I Da Gong who claims to be the emissary of the Eastern King Geng Jingzhong." , have arrived at the mountain gate of Qixia Temple."

Yue Le was taken aback: "What? I Dagong? Shang Zhixin? What is he doing here?"
