Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1130 Wang Yan returns to Beijing
After Wang Yan arrived in Nanjing, he got the news that King Lu fled to Zhenjiang and Jin Shenghuan committed suicide.

Although Wang Yan became murderous when he learned that Jin Shenghuan had rushed to Nanjing, and wanted to get rid of Jin Shenghuan, but he still sighed in his heart when he heard the news of Jin Shenghuan's suicide.

Anyway, Jin Shenghuan was also a well-known figure in the world, so it was a pity that he died like this, Wang Yan still felt a little sad and regretful.

Humans are very complicated animals. If Jin Shenghuan didn't die, Wang Yan might not feel regretful in his heart. He would just get rid of this threat. After all, Jin Shenghuan wanted to kill him, so he naturally didn't want to survive such a threat, but Jin Shenghuan committed suicide. Wang Yan, however, was a little worried about gains and losses, and thought of Jin Shenghuan's achievements in fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

People's hearts are sometimes so contradictory, Wang Yan rushed to Nanjing with murderous intent, just to kill Jin Shenghuan, but when Jin Shenghuan was dead, he felt a little unbearable and sad.

Regarding Wang Yan's performance, some officials of the imperial party sneered, thinking that Wang Yan deliberately showed such emotions of cherishing talents and internal conflicts that were not the original intention of a lonely king, so as to show the world to people.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is fond of Kunqu Opera, and has become a master of drama. He plays and buys people's hearts.

Anyway, Jin Shenghuan solved a problem for Wang Yan after he died.

One thing, Jin Shenghuan guessed right, this internal conflict within the Ming Dynasty is indeed not a glorious thing, many people can see that Wang Yan intends to seduce, so Wang Yan is not willing to chase after him, and hopes to quickly turn over this matter Page.

Now that King Tang was arrested, Jin Shenghuan died, the threat has been reduced, Wang Yan has controlled the overall situation, no one can shake him, at this time, he wants to show his magnanimous side.

Originally, Wang Yan said he wanted to kill Jin Shenghuan and his family, but at this time he changed his mind and ordered Jin Shenghuan's body to be taken away. As for his family, he instructed the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to deal with them leniently, or to exile him in Qinghai. In short, although the catastrophe of extermination of the family can be avoided, the family will inevitably decline from now on, unable to threaten Wang Yan.

Regarding Tang Wang's treatment, Wang Yan showed no mercy, and his suggestion was to be demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest.

Because of Ming Taizu's order, after the clan violated the law, it could only be judged by the clan's mansion. Even if the clan rebelled, they could only be locked up in Fengyang.

Wang Yan's suggestion is already the most severe punishment in the law, but he is still very dissatisfied in his heart.

It's just that he has an absolute advantage at this time. If he wants to rule the king of Tang, he will have a lot of opportunities in the future.

Wang Yan only stayed in Nanjing for a short time to stabilize people's hearts, and let Zhang Kentang, a bachelor of the Zhejiang Department, lead more than 1 people to appease Zhejiang, and he rushed to Zhenjiang to deal with King Lu.

To the west of Zhenjiang, the Zhejiang Army's infantry was defeated by the Hengchong Horse Army, and the King of Lu had given up his plan to return to Zhejiang.

He has no face to go back to Zhejiang, one is, there are cavalry chasing him, it is difficult for him to return to Hangzhou, the other is that the infantry suffered heavy losses, he can no longer hold Zhejiang is the third, hearing the news of the defeat of the Zhejiang soldiers, Zhejiang officialdom Inevitable repetition is the fourth, with these four points, he has already recognized the reality of failure.

The only way he can go now is to go to sea to be a bandit, but now the Ming Dynasty is doing well in all aspects, and his supporters, including the navy generals, all have industries in Daming. He has no way out, so he has to go to sea However, his subordinates may not be willing to give up their wealth and status to wander overseas with him.

Furthermore, the Chinese have the concept of the world, and when they go out to sea, they are far away from the Central Plains, which is tantamount to giving up the struggle for orthodoxy. This will make most people loyal to the imperial family leave King Lu and find other forces to fight against Wang Yan .

At this time, neither Taiwan Island nor Luzon can compare with the Ming Dynasty. Even if you are a king or emperor there, your quality of life may not be as good as that of a rich man in Daming, let alone his generals. I know how many people will be willing to go overseas with him to open up wasteland and become pirates.

Wang Yan arrived in Zhenjiang on August [-] after spending August [-] in Nanjing.

He first met the generals of the Hengchong Horse Army, and then Li Yuanyin, Yan Keyi and other generals, and promised to reward them for meritorious service. The right to send troops, some people fall into other troops as officers, and those who stay in the military guards will only be responsible for the training of soldiers in the future, and must not intervene in military pay and local affairs.

Now that things have happened, everyone naturally dare not have any opinions.

In order to take care of the emotions of the Wuwei Army, Wang Yan comforted Li Yuanyin in private, Xu Luo would give him the seat originally reserved for Jin Shenghuan as long as he made meritorious service in the future, and Xu Luo would give him the rank of Governor of the Left Commander of the Rear Army.

Wang Yan was able to plot against the king of Tang, especially knowing that Jin Shenghuan set up an ambush in Anqing, and more or less got his notification, so he had to do more to appease him.

When Wang Yan returned to Nanjing, he went to Zhenjiang again. The people in the south of the Yangtze River were also very happy, and they all rejoiced that the war was coming to an end.

Although the rebellion of the Tang and Lu kings only lasted for more than a month, the damage to the south of the Yangtze River was immeasurable. The rice production in Nanzhili was reduced by at least half, and the mulberry and cotton fields could also be described as heavy losses.

During the years when Wang Yan was in power, many things were not perfect. Before, the people complained about Wang Yan and the court, and even an uprising against the court broke out.

Among other things, during the few years that Wang Yan has been in power, Jiangnan has been at least peaceful for a few years, and peace is really important to the people of Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is no better than the north, and its economy is developed. As long as there is peace, people can always find a way to survive. It is not human anymore.

Wang Yan is in charge of the government, and the prestige of Prince Chu can still deter the world. Once he returns to the south of the Yangtze River, rebellions in various places can basically be spread.

It can be predicted that after the Tang Lu rebellion is put down, the conservative forces of the people will fall into a low ebb. Even if Wan Yan's reform is unsatisfactory, no one will jump out to oppose it in a short time. The innovation of the Ming Dynasty will enter a fast train road.

Wang Yan didn't have time to pay attention to some nonsense for the time being, and planned to kick this group of people out of the court slowly after King Lu was dealt with.

After Wang Yan arrived in Zhenjiang, the Zhejiang Army had given up any hope.

As soon as Wang Yan arrived in Zhenjiang, he asked someone to send a letter to the city, telling King Lu to surrender quickly.

At this time, King Lu had no bargaining chips other than [-] sailors and thousands of remnants. Even the sailors could be recruited by Wang Yan at any time. Hold his subordinates accountable and guarantee the conditions for his assets.

Wang Yan just wanted to suffocate King Lu with a stick, or at least put him under house arrest like King Tang. How could he go overseas and leave a hidden danger for himself.

Since he has offended the Zhu family, he must do everything he can, and not give the old Zhu family a chance to stand up.

In late August, Wang Yan wanted King Lu to surrender unconditionally, but King Lu refused to agree. Wang Yan asked people to bargain, and at the same time sent people to contact the generals of the Zhejiang Navy. To appease Zhejiang, he ordered the [-] infantry troops transferred from Huguang to speed up and occupy Zhejiang. He only waited for all aspects to be ready before he forced the King of Lu.

While digging the corners, Wang Yan ordered Man Dazhuang to order the Donghai Navy to block the mouth of the Yangtze River so that King Lu would not run away, and Gao Yigong dispatched red-clothed cannons to prepare to attack the city.

He only waited for the general of the Zhejiang Navy to give him an answer, and then he was going to attack Zhenjiang, and he must kill King Lu, but before the answer was given, he waited for a disaster.
