Chapter 334 Daddy Hold On, Don't Miss This Opportunity! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Don't want military achievements, don't want feudal land? Then he wants to buy shares?"

"Invest in shares now? It's a good time to choose! No wonder people say that Zheng Jing is the best! No one is playing this small abacus?"

"Hey, there is no fool who can get this seat, let alone someone surnamed Zheng?"

"It's true. He is the grandson of Zheng Yiguan, a wealthy man in the world, and the Zheng family's family business has been revived in his hands. Can he not be good?"

In the General's Mansion in Nanjing, Li Zhongshan, who had just returned from a boat trip on the Yangtze River with Zheng Jing, was sitting in his capital hall, discussing with Zheng Jing, Huang Zongxi, Chen Gongyin, Yao Qisheng, and Zhou Chang, his confidants and think tanks, to recruit Zheng Jing. Matters related to shareholding.

If the current Republic of Daming is regarded as a joint-stock company, then Zheng Jing should be regarded as a particularly important franchisee.Zheng Jing now owns the whole of Fujian, and also controls a fairly powerful naval force, and also recognizes the Emperor of the Ming Republic as his monarch.But at the same time, because Fujian is a vassal land, there are not many Fujianese in the National People's Political Conference of the Ming Dynasty, and Fujian Province has not established a national political system.

Therefore, although Zheng Jing and Fujian belonged to Daming, they were not part of the Ming Republic system and could not be counted as shareholders, at most they were only essential franchisees.

And now this franchisee has seen that Daming, a joint-stock company, is in a temporary business crisis and urgently needs an opportunity to issue new shares to raise funds to solve the difficulties. He wants to convert part of his own business into shares, thus changing from the boss of the franchisee to an important shareholder of the company in one fell swoop. , into the board of directors, into the decision-making circle.

Although sooner or later the franchisees of Daming Republic will either become shareholders or be wiped out!But when to invest is still very particular.When Li Zhongshan, Lu Sanhao, and Chen Yonghua bought shares before, the Ming Dynasty’s court only opened. The three of them are almost the founders of the Ming Republic.At this time, the risk of investing in shares is the greatest, and of course the benefits are also the greatest, so now the three of them are the most powerful in the Ming court!
Geng Jingzhong also had the opportunity to buy shares before and became a major shareholder at the same level as Li Zhongshan. However, he devoted himself to being the emperor, so he left the company and went on his own. Now he has become a competitor that the company must eliminate.

And Zheng Jing himself did not participate in the initiation of the Ming Republic, but he asked his counselor Chen Yonghua to participate in the initiation-at least half of Chen Yonghua's capital was sponsored by Zheng Jing!
Through Chen Yonghua, Zheng Jing knew the rules and details of this republic.

Since it belongs to the Qing Dynasty, of course he also knows that the Ming Republic has a future!

Since the Ming Republic has a bright future, sooner or later the separatist regime will be absorbed and merged by the court of the Ming Republic.

Since sooner or later it will be absorbed and merged, he should just find the best time to buy shares at a bargain!

The best time seems to be now!Now Daming is being besieged by Zhou, Qing, and Jing, but the Zheng family has unified Fujian because of Geng Jingzhong's shrinking troops.

So now is the time when the franchisee of the Zheng family has the highest valuation, and at the same time it is the relative low point of Ming Gonghe.If you don’t buy shares at this time, when are you waiting to buy shares?If you don't buy shares now, and wait until Daming defeats Wu Sangui, then the conditions will be different!

"General, did King Yi say the conditions?" Huang Zongxi asked.

Li Zhongshan said: "I didn't say it explicitly, but it has been hinted. First of all, the Fujian navy will be included in his feudal trading firm. I guess he wants to follow the example of the Dutch East India trading firm and set up a similar trading firm.

Secondly, he brought a large group of Fujian gentry over this time, and wanted them to join the People's Political Council. "

Yao Qisheng shook his head: "The strength of the Zheng family's Lu division is mediocre, but the navy division is alone in the country. He wants to keep the navy division now. This calculation is really good enough!"

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "The Lu division doesn't make money, but the Fujian navy is actually an armed merchant fleet. It can make money. Of course he won't let it go! But we can also imitate his family's ancestral business in the future. You can let the surname Zheng go for a break first, let him meet the Westerners. If this way works, we will do it together.”

In fact, Li Zhongshan hoped that the old Zheng’s family could break out on the broad road of colonialism——the Zheng family’s success in creating a wealth effect makes it easy for others to follow!
If the Zheng family is bullied by the imperialists, then Li Datou just happens to take a stake in the Zheng family's colonial company to help him make money.
Zhou Chang frowned at this moment, took over the topic and said: "The Lu division in Fujian is not something that we can send a few people to master, it is an army built by three generations of the Zheng family!

In addition, the Zheng family is the top snake in Fujian. Even if Fujian is not regarded as a vassal, without King Yi nodding, the governors and prefects we send may have difficulty controlling the situation. However, the Zheng family's shareholding is still acceptable. Don't apportion a few million national debts to King Yi and Fujian Province? "

"Where are a few million enough?" Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "at least 1000 million must be subscribed. If the water is divided into fields, if you don’t want to starve to death, you have to go to the sea. The people who make a fortune in Nanyang are either Fujianese or Cantonese. Among them, the Chaozhou people are the most Cantonese. The Chaozhou people are similar to the Hokkien people. So King Yi Attacking Fujian means attacking the hometown of those Fujianese who went to Nanyang to make a fortune and controlled their clan. The national debt of 1000 million taels is nothing to the Zheng family."

Speaking of this, Li Zhongshan frowned slightly, as if he was wondering if it was time to ask Zheng Jing for more benefits.Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and then I heard the voice of my brother Li Zhongzheng coming in: "Second brother, second brother, it's not good! Wu Sangui's land and water army has already rushed through the mouth of the small pond, and Wu Sangui's water and land army will soon... maybe It has already rushed into Poyang Lake!"

Wu Sangui finally moved!
Several people in the Dutang looked at each other, they all looked calm and relaxed. Li Zhongshan seemed the most determined, and he held up the teacup with a smile, as if he was going to "have a drink".

At this moment, Li Zhongzheng, Li Zhongshan's "new third younger brother", rushed in from the outside in a dusty suit.This "brother Zhongzheng" followed Li Zhongshan, and he was originally a handsome man who loved to dress up and always kept himself clean.But today, he looks like he has traveled a long way, with a line of dirty luggage, sweaty, gray face, and a little beard. I don’t know how many days he hasn’t shaved his face?
"Third son, you are finally back." Li Zhongshan greeted him with a smile, "I want you to send a letter to our father. You have been away for so many days, and our father has been going all out to repay you, little half Jiangxi seems to be taken by you!"

It turned out that Li Zhongzheng was sent by his father to escort Cai Yurong to take up his post in Guangdong these days. After leaving Nanchang, he first went east to Raozhou, then went south to Fuzhou, and then went west to Linjiang and Yuanzhou.Then went south to Ji'an, and finally entered Ganzhou, sent Cai Yurong and hundreds of his tired and thin soldiers to Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong, and then rushed back to Li Fuchen's Jiujiang camp.The prefectures, prefectures, and counties we passed along the way, of course, all surrendered to Daming under the leadership of Cai Yurong, the former Qing Jiangxi governor, who took the lead and set an example!
However, the credit for recovering the land is all credited to Li Zhongzheng for recovering the six state capitals, so why should he be conferred a knighthood!

Li Zhongzheng was not in the mood to talk about his "heroic deeds" in Jiangxi at the moment, but shouted loudly: "Second brother, don't talk about me first. Talk about our father! Our father is in danger! I passed Xiaochikou That's when I saw Wu Sangui's army descending eastward along the river! It's terrible, the river is full of Wu Zhou's warships, with sails and flags covering the sky and covering the sun, there are at least thousands of them as far as the eye can see!

The pipelines along the banks of the Yangtze River are also full of Wu Sangui's land divisions, and there are countless cavalry and infantry. Second brother, Wu Sangui dispatched at least 40 to [-] troops this time!They all turned into Poyang Lake, our father is in danger now! "

It turned out that after Li Zhongzheng met Li Fuchen at the Ming army camp near Jiujiang Fucheng, he immediately crossed the river to Jiangbei, planning to take the official road in Jiangbei to return to Nanjing.Unexpectedly, when I reached Xiaochikou, I encountered the Wu family's army going down the Yangtze River!Fortunately, Wu's army did not march from the north bank of the Yangtze River, but only took the Yangtze River waterway and the south bank of the Yangtze River.So Li Zhongzheng felt that he rushed to Nanjing, and he actually arrived in Nanjing half a day earlier than the [-] Li rush sent by the Anhui admiral Yamen of the Ming Dynasty.

This filial piety is really commendable!
"Third brother, don't worry, our father has a big fate, and Wu Sangui can't kill him." Li Zhongshan was quite confident in Li Fuchen, and said to his brothers with a smile, "Go back and rest quickly. Brother Yu will find him immediately. People come to discuss the matter of sending troops!"

"Okay!" Li Zhongzheng nodded, "Brother, you need to hurry up. I am worried that Wu Sangui's navy will enter Poyang Lake through Hanpokou, and then enter Ganjiang from Xingzikou, all the way to Nanchang. At the same time, Wu Sangui's land force After solving Jieshu's Jiujiang crisis, the master will follow our father and King Li Zhong's army all the way to Nanchang. At that time, our father will retreat slowly, and he may be attacked by the enemy, and eventually he will not even be able to enter Nanchang Already!"

"I know, I know, you should go to rest now! The military division of the general's mansion has already prepared various countermeasures, and our father has also experienced battles for a long time, so nothing will happen. No matter what, we can always retreat to Nanchang first of."

Li Zhongshan comforted him again, and finally coaxed his brother away.

Of course he couldn't tell his brothers that their father, Li Fuchen, was actually ready to slip into Nanchang and defend to the death.

With Li Fuchen's ability to defend the city, it is not so easy for Wu Sangui to make Li Jizhen the king.

After the brothers had gone far away, Li Zhongshan told Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng to say: "Wu Sangui is coming aggressively this time. It seems that he has made the first battle and decided the battle. Go and call a staff meeting immediately, and take out two The strategy of marching, one by water and the other by land, show it to me tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he said to Huang Zongxi and Chen Gongyin: "Mr. Lizhou, Mr. Banfeng, accompany me to Prince Yi's Mansion."

Huang Zongxi hurriedly asked: "General, do you want to form an alliance with King Yi?"

Chen Gongyin asked: "General, are you planning to send troops to Jiangxi?"

Li Zhongshan said solemnly: "Now is the time to form an alliance with King Yi and King Bei. As for where to send troops, I can only tell you, Mr. Banfeng, that the first battle is a decisive battle, and the decisive battle must not be lost!"

Zhejiang, Yanzhou Prefecture, Jiande County.

Geng Jingzhong's old camp is now located in this small county town surrounded by mountains.The small county town is now full of dignitaries and military families of the Dongjing Dynasty.

So many people squeezed into such a small county at once, even if all the original people were moved to Hangzhou, it would still be overcrowded.And being moved here from Hangzhou would be somewhat unpleasant, so this small town is very noisy these days.

Geng Jingzhong simply moved to Sandu Town outside the county seat in order to hide from the quiet, occupied a landlord's compound, and continued to be the emperor of his compound.

Although he is still the emperor, this "imperial palace" is the worst house he has lived in in his life. The situation in the Great Yasukuni is a little bit bad!
The prophecy of "the Son of Heaven's body and ear fire" is also a bit endless!

He has been the "provincial emperor" for a long time now, which can be regarded as fulfilling the prophecy.But what about after becoming the emperor?Didn't say that!Shouldn't he really want to die forever?
When Geng Jingzhong thought of this, his heart became flustered.Suddenly, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the house, and then the voice of the head of state Yue Le: "Your Majesty, your majesty has good news, good news, Wu Sangui sent troops to Jiangxi, Li Fuchen was trapped in Nanchang, and Li Zhongshan has already dispatched troops from Nanjing!"

Geng Jingzhong almost burst into tears, and thought that "the Son of Heaven does not flick his tears easily", so he quickly wiped away his tears and shouted: "Come in and declare!"

As soon as the word "Xuan" was uttered, the door of his bedroom was opened by a guard, and then a group of important ministers of Dajing came in who "worshiped without names, entered the court without going, and walked on the sword".

Those who came were Yue Le, Yu Renying, Li Daoren, Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianyong and others, all of whom were Geng Jingzhong's confidants.He is now crowded in a hut with a group of important officials, and he is not interested in letting them visit, so he simply waved his hand and let them talk about it without courtesy.

"Your Majesty, our chance has come!" Yue Le was the most excited among the group of people. With the current situation, how long can the Geng Jingzhong emperor last?But at least he can have a Duke of the Great Zhou——Prince Kang Jieshu has already named the Duke of Kang, so Yue Le should have a Duke of Ang, right?

Geng Jingzhong asked: "Patriarch, where should I send troops?"

"Guangde Prefecture!" Yue Le said.

"Guangde Prefecture?" Geng Jingzhong thought about it, "but Liu Jinzhong is stationed in Huzhou, and Huzhou is on the edge of Guangde Prefecture."

He was still a little scared when he saw this King Liu Bei!

"Let's go around from the edge of Huzhou," Yue Le said, "At the same time, we can also send an envoy to discuss with Liu Jinzhong, telling him not to block our way to attack Nanjing!"

"Pounce on Nanjing?" Geng Jingzhong was stunned again and again, "Didn't you say that you would withdraw to Zhejiang after grabbing it? How did it become an attack on Nanjing?"

Fighting Nanjing is of course to cooperate with Wu Sangui - this is Yue Le's real idea.

Geng Jingzhong's "Mandate of Heaven" seems to be coming to an end!
Now that destiny is over, of course Yue Le will help Wu Sangui with his work!

"Attacking Nanjing can mobilize the Ming army from all over the south of the Yangtze River to help," Yue Le said. "As soon as they return to help, our chance will come. At that time, we can grab wherever we want!"

"It makes sense!" Geng Jingzhong suddenly realized something was wrong again, "Then who did Liu Jinzhong send to say it?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take a trip to Huzhou!" The one who volunteered to go to Huzhou was Geng Jingzhong's Dongge University scholar Yu Renying, "Your Majesty, it is now a life-and-death battle between Ming and Zhou! But there's no need to forcefully stop us."

"That makes sense!" Geng Jingzhong nodded, "Bachelor Yu, be careful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yu Renying bowed to Geng Jingzhong, "I will not disgrace my life!"

"Yeah, there are so many! The surname Wu really thinks highly of Li Fuchen! The navy and land divisions are advancing from the north and the south. I really want to trap him to death in Nanchang!"

On the tower of Deshengmen, the north gate of Nanchang City, the Southern King of Ming Dynasty couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the sails and flags covering the sky and the sun on the Ganjiang River.

When Wu Sangui's Lu division drove over yesterday, it was already scary to see at least [-] troops camping outside the city, and now there are so many of them!
I don't know how many troops Wu Sangui brought?It can't really be 100 million, right?
Thinking of this number, Li Fuchen's face became a little ugly.

An army of one million may not be able to take Daming, but there are only more than 100 of his men and 5000 of Li Laishun's in Nanchang City, and the total is only [-]. If Wu Sangui is really going to surround him and fight, then there will be good ?
It seems that there is something wrong with the strategy of defending Nanchang, destroying Geng Jingzhong, and going back to fight Wu Sangui with the boy Li Zhongshan!
"Nan Wang," Li Laishun who was standing with Li Fuchen was also a little nervous, "There are so many Zhou troops, what should we do?"

"Let's... let's attack!"

Li Fuchen was actually panicked, but he still came up with a countermeasure to attack.

He panicked, let alone others?If you can't win a small victory to stabilize people's hearts, this battle is not easy to fight!
"Attack?" Li Laishun was taken aback, "Wu Sangui has so many people."

"Because Wu Sangui has so many soldiers, and everyone has a heart of fear, we should attack for a while, so as to strengthen the army and calm the army!"

"Attack. Can we win?" Li Laishun was very skeptical!

"Of course!" Li Fuchen said with a smile, "I have two thousand cavalry, all of which are equipped with long guns and firecrackers. They can charge on horseback, and can shoot and kill the enemy with flintlock cavalry. Today I can just take them out to give Wu Sangui a dismount. !"

Li Laishun knew that Li Fuchen's cavalry was very elite. Although there were not many cavalry, their horses and equipment were all excellent and well-trained.

"Nan Wang, be careful, Xiao Wang will beat the drums for you!"

Li Fuchen laughed loudly: "Wait for a while, and kill him first!"
