The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 67
Hong Xu frowned, Zheng Zhilong's thoughts are clear to him now.It was Zhu Linmei who, Hong Xu, represented Zheng's group to set up Fujing, cut off Prince Jue, and gave the emperor a great embarrassment.From then on, everyone in the court knew that Pingluhou in Fujing was the most talkative person.

But now that Zhu Linming has suddenly achieved such great military exploits, where did he get such a powerful new army in a few months?This must be the result of the emperor's full support for him!

And the meaning of the emperor's move is very clear, if you can press down the person who you Pingluhou can push down, I can lift him up again!This is nakedly flattening Luhou's face!

Right now, on the surface, it seems that this is only a matter of losing the title of Prince Zhu Linmi, but in fact it represents the struggle between the Zheng family and the Longwu forces.

The imperial party must not let Chen Wang be turned over!Just, where to start?
Suddenly his eyes lit up, he stepped out of the line, and first took a look at He Kai, "Master He, who do you think is enjoying peace? Don't forget that if there are no soldiers under the command of Pingluhou and Dingluhou guarding Shanguan and Xianxiaguan , How can there be peace in Fujing? What's more, if there were no Fujian soldiers, the war in Jiangxi would not be as prosperous as it is today!"

Shanguan and Xianxiaguan are both important passes into Fujian. What he meant was to remind everyone in the court that the troops in Fujing are all surnamed Zheng.As for the situation in Jiangxi, Zheng Cai's people are of course irrelevant, but they still have to be mentioned.

"As for the king of Chenzhou," Hong Xu paused intentionally, "I remember that in August of the first year of Longwu, the holy decree ordered him to bring 8000 taels of salary to work in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. I have read the files of the Ministry of War, and no army has received any to Lao Junyin's records."

He sneered, "Where are the 8000 taels now? Besides, Wang Jiangnan of Chenzhou was asked to work in the army, but he is still in Fuzhou. In half a year, he only traveled more than 800 miles. Hehe, this speed is really not slow. "

Hong Xu dropped the words, and Wang Xiaozhong immediately answered loudly: "The king of Chenzhou first came to slack off the heavy responsibility of the labor army, and second, he embezzled the money of the Mexican labor army to fill his own pockets. Please discuss his crime!"

Immediately, Yang Geng, Zheng Zhilong's subordinate, shouted: "The king of Chenzhou raised private soldiers as a vassal without the permission of the court, and he is guilty of conspiracy!"

As soon as this remark was made, a large number of civil and military officials from Zheng's party followed suit, and no one mentioned the restoration of the title of prince for King Chenzhou.

"Ridiculous!" Tang Wang Zhu Yu'ao saw the chaos in the court, and shouted in a deep voice, "If there is no Lin Mi, a 'private soldier', Fuzhou may not belong to my Daming anymore!"

The most senior prince of the Longwu Dynasty spoke, and officials loyal to the emperor immediately launched a counterattack.

Zhu Yujian only felt that there were thousands of ducks croaking back and forth in the hall, and the good mood of receiving the good news disappeared without a trace in an instant.

As the king of a country, I can't even bestow rewards on the clan's nephews who have made meritorious deeds!How could my emperor be so useless? !

His angry eyes swept across Zheng Zhilong's face with a smug expression, and he immediately felt blood rushing to his head.

This is the man!At the beginning, he pretended to support me, and he must mention the restoration of Jiangbei and the revival of the country, but now he uses the Ming court as a private weapon to stabilize his power in Fujing!

With him on the sidelines, how can I still talk about Zhongxing? !
He instantly remembered Zhu Lin's plan to encircle Nanchang with soldiers.Ganzhou is in Yang Tinglin's hands. If Nanchang can be regained, Jiangxi will return to Daming's hands.Instead of being bullied by the Zheng family in Fujian, why not go to Jiangxi now!

Even if the battle is not over yet, even if you live in the open with the army, it is better than suffocating to death in Fujing's palace!Hmph, what kind of palace is this?It's just the chief envoy's yamen!Where is the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty that I want?Even Song Gaozong's Yangzhou is not as good!
Thinking of this, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, loudly said: "Don't make any noise! ​​I decided to personally conquer Jiangxi today, to see with my own eyes whether the king of Chenzhou has rebelled!

"During my personal conquest, Tang Wang and Deng Wang supervised the country in Tianxing Mansion. Disband!" He didn't wait for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to react, and left in a huff.

Pingluhou Mansion.

Hong Xu said with a solemn expression: "Master Hou, why don't you sign up and ask the emperor to stop giving up the personal conquest?"

Zheng Zhilong smiled lightly and took a sip of tea, "No need."

"Brother," Zheng Zhibao said anxiously, "If Longwu really goes to Jiangxi, he will follow him to Ganzhou. The tens of thousands of Ming troops in Fujing may have second thoughts..."

"He can't go."

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Hongkui who was sitting at the bottom, "Fourth brother, the emperor has money to raise troops for his nephew in Jiangxi, why do we need to add so much money to the household department every month?"

Zheng Hongkui rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Brother, I know what to do."

At present, Fujing's taxation and customs revenue are all controlled by the Zheng family. After collecting the money, they will allocate part of it to the Ministry of Households on a regular basis for court and military expenses.

Zheng Zhilong knew very well that without this sum of money, the entire Longwu court would have to stop!
In Jinxi City, the Dragon Guards are holding a funeral for the soldiers who died in the Battle of Fuzhou.

The heavy cavalry cleared the way with white gauze hanging on the horse's head.

More than 70 pitch-black coffins were carried by hundreds of Dragon Guard soldiers, starting from the east gate of the city and slowly passing through the stone road in the center of the city.

"Fire the gun!"

"boom!"

At intervals along the way, soldiers raised their flintlocks and fired into the sky.And at the end of the line, there were monks and Taoist priests who spontaneously came from near Jinxi City, murmuring the curse of rebirth.

Along the way, Jinxi people lined the road to see each other off.They knew that it was this heroic Ming army that fought to the death with tens of thousands of Qing troops in Shuangchen River, which saved Jinxi City.Otherwise, the city must be full of looting by Qing soldiers at this time, a scene like purgatory on earth.

Moreover, this army was completely different from the Ming army in the past. Not only did they not commit atrocities such as robbing the people, they did not even distribute military food. They even did not even enter the city in order not to disturb the people.

There are unpretentious common people who bow down to the heroic spirit in the coffin, and they all have the same thought in their hearts. If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like the Dragon Guards, what kind of bandits are they afraid of, what are they afraid of? !

Along the way, the hearts of the soldiers of the Dragon Guards were also shaken.In the past, they were either ordinary people or military households and soldiers. Who had looked at them, let alone the scene of tens of thousands of people crowding the road in front of them.

They can feel that these people are grateful and respectful to them from the bottom of their hearts, which makes them instantly feel taller, and a special "proud spirit" surges from the soles of their feet to their foreheads. Perhaps this is the guidance The "honor" that the envoys are talking about!

Life can be so brilliant, so admired by others, what regrets is there in death?
The coffins were transported to the south gate of Jinxi City, loaded onto vehicles uniformly, and transported to the respective hometowns of the heroes.

All the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guards stood at attention and saluted, watching the chariots and horses go away.

Not far away, there was a burst of continuous artillery noise to see them off.

However, the tablets of these more than 70 heroes are all left in the martyr's ancestral hall in Jinxi City.
