Looking at the increasingly clear Anping Castle in his sight, Zheng Kezang's heart fluttered.Scenes of the past vividly appeared in front of my eyes, the kind Chen Zhaoniang, Zheng Jing who shielded me from the wind and rain, Chen Yonghua who always looked resolute, Feng Xifan who seemed loyal to others, the stubborn Liu Guoxuan, and others who could not remember. Dong Guotai?????? Knowing that it is almost impossible for him to revisit his old place again, Zheng Kezang felt a little timid for a while.

"I welcome the king to return to his hometown." Zheng Kezang had just set foot on the ground of Anping Port. He came from Yingtian City early in the morning to accompany Zheng Kezang to worship his father and ancestors. All the civil and military officials in Dongning bowed down one after another. "Long live the king, long live the Great Xia, long live, long live!"

Zheng Kezang waved his hands in dismay: "Get up, I returned to Anping alone today, half happy and half sad. The master said that the dead are like husbands. I am full of emotion when I think about the past of the king."

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang ordered: "Gu's mood is not peaceful, so Qin She will stay with Gu Chong to visit Anping, and the other Qing's family will leave first. When we come to Japan, Gu will drink and laugh with Qing and others."

All the courtiers retreated knowingly, and Zheng Keju, who is also the son of Zheng Jing, shone with jealousy at this time, but unfortunately there was no way, he was born too late, and the age difference between Zheng Kezang and Zheng Kezang was too much, almost They are separated by another generation, so the relationship with Zheng Kezang is not as close as that of Zheng Kezang who once supported each other. Zheng Keshuang of <& ren was very afraid of Zheng Kezang --- at first, he was afraid that his identity as a son-in-law would threaten Zheng Kezang's throne, which would cause accidents. Later, Zheng Kezang's status became more stable, but his body became more and more serious. The strong momentum also makes Zheng Keshuang feel like sitting on pins and needles every time they meet --- fortunately, Zheng Kezang looks bleak and restrained today, which makes Zheng Keshuang seem to return to the years when the two held hands.

Zheng Kezang didn't know about Zheng Keshuang's psychology, but he asked Zheng Keshuang, who was half of his body behind him, as he walked, "Qin She, do you remember those things back then? Hey, what are you doing? Today, no matter the ruler or his ministers, they are all wanderers, if you come up and walk with me, I still have a lot to say to you??????"

\\ Regardless of whether the people in Jinghu, Minguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are rejoicing or secretly cursing, as the news spreads from the Zheng-controlled area, all parties have different reactions.

The Qing court quickly expressed to the Ming and Zheng parties through negotiating envoys that they were happy to see Zheng Kezang on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and hoped that after the founding of the Great Xia, the two sides could form a brotherly state, and each other would use the existing actual control line as a boundary to stop fighting, stop fighting and trade. .In order to achieve this goal, the envoys of the Qing court even suggested that the prefectures such as Runing, Henan, which had become tasteless, could be handed over to Zheng Fang.

Zheng Fang naturally understood the Qing government's plan. In fact, through several secret spies, it was reported that the large and small artillery supervised by Dai Zi was continuously equipping the Eight Banners Internal and External Firearms Battalion, and the Eight Banners New Army and the new Green Battalion were rapidly reorganizing. A steady stream of news came to Zheng Fan.However, like the Qing court that was struggling with the deficit, Zheng Fan did not escape from the financial cliff. The same shyness in the pockets restricted the possibility of a war between the two sides. Therefore, knowing that the other party was implementing a strategy of delaying troops, Zheng Fan had to respond. As a result, the two parties successively reached agreements on mutual markets in Zijingguan, Zhengyang, Yingshang, and Qingjiangpu.The Qing court exchanged goods such as herbs, fur, cattle and sheep, and trona from the north for silk, cotton cloth, pearls, jade, and foreign goods from the south. The two sides exchanged what they needed, and an illusory peace came temporarily.

Of course, the peace between Qing and Zheng did not include Sichuan. With the variable presence of the Ming army in eastern Sichuan, it was impossible to give up Sichuan, a large province.

"My lord Jian Guo, Jianu is certainly our great enemy, but Zheng Ni's conspiracy is imminent, so I can't sit still and wait for death."

In the first year of Ming Taishun and the 37th year of Qing Kangxi, on November 22nd, after learning that the south was about to change, the Qing governor of Sichuan, Xierda, and Chengdu general Sang'e jointly signed Xiang Qing, trying to change to Zheng after failing to drive Zhu. Lian Zhu drove Zheng.The arrival of the Qing envoy naturally aroused controversy within Zhu Daming's army, which was dominated by the thirteen families in eastern Sichuan.In fact, the Ming army in Eastern Sichuan, which was caught between the Qing Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty, suffered fierce internal conflicts after repeated failures in external development. Everyone knew that this situation of separatist rule could not last long, but there were different opinions on how to break the situation.

Some of them hit it off with the Qing envoy's proposal: "I think that if the Qing court is willing to hand over Qiongzhou, Meizhou, Shunqing and other places to us, maybe we can sit back and watch the Qing and Zheng fight each other."

"It's really a good idea to sit back and watch Qinglu and Zheng Ni lose both." The opponents naturally sneered. "However, I don't think this is a good idea. We should take advantage of Zheng Ni's full strength to deal with the Qing army and go south to capture Zunyi. In this way, there will be Kuimen in the east and Loushan Pass in the south. Afterwards, all we need to do is to go west and cover the whole of Sichuan. .”

The strong mocking tone made the proposer's face turn blue: "Master Liu said well, this is the best result we must strive for."

"Nonsense, Zheng Ni is certainly a thief, but the Qing captives belong to a family that has lost our clothes. Instead of colluding with Jian, you are not afraid of cutting off your children and grandchildren." The person who spoke obviously had a deep-seated hatred with the Qing court. "Say one thousand, say ten thousand, I won't join hands with the Tartars to kill my own people."

"Zhao Tieqiang, don't tell me you can't vote for Zheng Ni. What about yourself? You and Quan Ni are on your own!" Since the other party took the lead in calling out the name Jianghu bandit, this side naturally has to return the color. "Besides, it's not like you don't know the news from the east. The rebels have stopped the Northern Expedition in order to usurp the throne and are colluding with the Tartars. They can do the first day of the junior high school, why can't we do the fifteenth day." The speaker swept Scanned the audience. "And we didn't join forces with the Tartars to deal with the Zheng family, we just sat and watched." The Qing line has blocked the Qing army's way to enter Guizhou from Zunyi, so the Qing army can only enter Wumeng through the Luzhou and Yongning lines (Zhaotong). "If the Tatars can invade Yunnan in one go, we may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to sweep across Sichuan. If the Tartars and Zheng Ni confront each other on the Sichuan-Yunnan border, or hold back for fear that we will be stabbed in the back, then we will be in danger. gone."

The words of the neutral person woke up both sides of the heated debate. Yes, once Zheng Jun was driven out of Sichuan, the next goal of the Qing army was self-evident, so even if someone shouted: "My mother, this is not Dead knot?"

"It's not a knot." Someone on the side that advocated Lianqing stood up. "In order to prevent the Qing captives from attacking us, we can take advantage of the Qing and Zheng battles to attack Zunyi, but the purpose of attacking Zunyi is not to block Zheng's way of attacking eastern Sichuan, but to open the door to go south to Guizhou and Guangxi." The man tempted . "As long as we can capture Qiangui, it will be like breaking the game, and it doesn't matter if we lose Eastern Sichuan."

"I lost the rich land in eastern Sichuan and went to Guizhou, a place where nothing shits like a bird. Is this called breaking the game?" Some people quit. "Sweeping across Guizhou and Guizhou is easy to say. Wouldn't it make us face Zheng Ni's army head-on." The man shook his head like a rattle. "No, no, this means we are getting chestnuts for the Tartars."

"Master Sun Shan." The person on the side immediately pointed out. "This sentence should be a chestnut from the fire."

"Yes! Take chestnuts out of the fire." Master Sun Shan yelled cursing at the one who proposed to go south. "At that time, the Tartars will stab us in the back again, and the situation will be broken? I think it is true that the family is broken."

"Perhaps we can ask the Tartars to exchange Yunnan for eastern Sichuan." Seeing that everyone began to agree with Sun Shanzhu's opinion, those who advocated the alliance of the Qing Dynasty to the south immediately changed their tone. "I think the biggest enemy of Laijiannu is Zheng Ni. The enemy is present, and they should not entangle us for a mere corner. When the time comes, we will sit in Yunnan and Guizhou, and that will be what a country looks like."

Sitting in Yunnan and Guizhou, peeking at Guangxi, this temptation is not small, but before the Lianqing party's eloquent tongue moved everyone, they heard Zhu Da coughing extremely strongly in the seat, and everyone looked at him in shock. In the past, I saw that the nominal leader had fainted, and the young clan who claimed to be sent by Zhu Da to pick him up from the east was throwing himself on top of him and crying.

Zhu Da is dead?Everyone present was nervous for a while, and everyone was worried, if Zhu Da, who was in his seventies and eighties, died on the spot, would the Ming army be able to maintain the group of the Ming army with only the young clan?If this group can no longer be maintained, everything just said is empty, then what should everyone do?

The bewildered crowd sent Zhu Da to the backyard together, watching the doctor administer medicine for treatment.Finally, Zhu Da woke up slowly, and everyone who breathed a sigh of relief left Xingzai worrying about gains and losses.

Not to mention how everyone with their own thoughts considered their own way out, the sober Zhu Da called the young man in front of him: "I never thought that bringing you here from the east would actually harm you."

Seeing Zhu Da's powerless gesture, the young clan's family burst into tears, and Zhu Da turned to his cronies and said, "Once the orphan dies, and eastern Sichuan falls apart, then you can just send someone to ask Zheng Ni to surrender. Zheng Ni will definitely not embarrass you if you win the battle, and maybe there will be a reward, but I just hope that you can save this child's life when the time comes."

Zhu Da had exhausted his energy to the limit after competing for a long time, but he still refused to stop after taking a few breaths: "Surrendering the Qing captives will not end well. As for surrendering Zheng Ni, I have dealt with King Xia alone, so it shouldn't be so." A violent hero may still be able to keep my lineage of the Zhu family, but there is an emergency, so please hide this child in the Jianghu???????"
