Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 4 Urgent Zhao Zheng Hongkui

But Zhu Yousong knew that in order to clean up the mess in front of him, he must not show the courage of a man for a while, but must use some strategies, but blindly keeping a low profile and practicing self-improvement is definitely not the best policy. It is impossible to live this game of chess.

Zhu Yousong is not an ignorant and arrogant person. As a highly educated literature and history student in the 21st century, he certainly knows that history is a mirror. The situation in Nanming is worse now than it was a month ago. In this position, I will do better than the Ming Sizong who was hanged in Meishan just now. Zhu Youjian's body is not cold, so he can't repeat his mistakes.

Zhu Yousong is quite familiar with Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Yousong. Although he died during his tenure, Emperor Chongzhen is not a faint and incompetent king. On the contrary, he is a very accomplished emperor. Diligent in political affairs, frugal and simple, must do everything by himself, and the six crimes have been ordered.Although there are various shortcomings in him, he cannot be completely blamed for Da Ming's progress to where he is today.He was just one of those who struggled in the bustling quagmire of the late Ming Dynasty. This quagmire was hard to get back from. Facts have proved that even if he has great abilities, he alone cannot recover.

Zhu Yousong knew that in order to clean up the mess in front of him, he must first find a way to stabilize the current situation, that is, to gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and then it is possible to manage the Southern Ming Dynasty, develop the economy, and then plan to set up the Central Plains in the north when the army is strong and drive out the Tartars , Unified Huayi.

However, in order to stabilize the current situation and stop the iron hooves of the Qing army going south, it is necessary to strengthen the centralization of power. Now there are millions of troops in Nanming.However, these power ministers and warlords are not like the emperor. They each have their own ulterior motives, form cliques for personal gain, sell officials and nobles, and compare themselves to traitors. To completely change this situation, we must eliminate party disputes. To eliminate party conflicts, we must first clean the factory guards. But to clean the factory guard, Ma Shiying, an ambitious stumbling block, must be removed.

However, Ma Shiying has become popular now. As the governor of Fengyang, his [-] troops directly obey his orders. State Duke Zhu Guoyan, Governor of Henan Province Yue Qijie and other ministers are all his buddies. What's more, his son Ma Luan is now the commander of Jinyiwei. close.Therefore, Ma Shiying can be said to be a tree with deep roots and power.

In addition, this Ma Yaocao is also a Zhongshan wolf. When he is successful, he is rampant and domineering. He often leads soldiers to the palace, and he doesn't take him as the emperor at all.In history, he was a traitor, controlled the court, bullied the emperor and suppressed the officials, and fought against Zuo Liangyu, which seriously weakened the strength of Nanming and gave the Qing army an opportunity. This is the main reason why the Hongguang regime passed away like a flash in the pan. One of the reasons is that later this Ma Yaocao made a "queen case". Looking at his actions, this is a traitor who must be eliminated.

But if the strategy is not good, this guy will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, force the palace to kill him, and replace him.Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck.

To eradicate the Ma Party, one must seek help, but in the team of the Nanming regime, who can help him wholeheartedly?
Zhu Yousong started to use his brain. In this land, since ancient times, there have been many people who dare to die to serve the country, but people who speak lightly can hardly achieve great things. It is not as important as the barrel of a gun, and the commander-in-chief of the four towns in Jiangbei and Zuo Liangyu, Marquis of Wuchang can also be directly ruled out...

So Zhu Yousong could only take stock of these court officials one by one, hoping to find a few Jielie Zhongxian who could rely heavily on, so as to help him reorganize the court and restore Daming.

He thought of Shi Kefa, the most important minister of Nanming, but after he found out what Shi Gong had done, he quickly sneered at him.

Although he is advertised as a famous anti-Qing general and a national hero in the official history, in fact he is at most a moral model who died in the line of duty.Leaving aside, as far as the matter of supporting him just now, he is just a wimp.Powerful, he lacked the foresight and courage of a politician, opposed Emperor Hongguang from his own interests and pointed out his seven deadly sins. Otherwise, Ma Yaocao would not be able to compete with him in Yanzhong of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Zuodu censor Liu Zongzhou, Minister of Rites Jiang Riguang, Dongge University scholar Gao Hongtu, these two Jinshi Hanlin Qingliu are officials and are honest and upright, but these nerds can write articles to impeach people. Dang Ma Shiying, don't dare to count on them.

After pondering over and over again, Zhu Yousong's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of someone, "Decide my will, and immediately order Zhenhai General Zheng Hongkui to enter the palace to meet him."

Zheng Hongkui was born as a military Jinshi, and served as the commander of the Jinyiwei Capital of Emperor Chongzhen.

What is even more powerful is his eldest brother Zheng Zhilong. It is said that he has a powerful private army with more than a thousand warships. He once became the overlord of the sea. The emperor had no choice but to appease him, and Emperor Hongguang named him Nan'anbo, with the general town in Fujian.

But Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Tartars in history, which was the biggest failure in his life. This incident had a great impact on his son Zheng Chenggong, and it is unrealistic to call him to Nanjing to assist him now, so he would think that he was a pirate Trying to weaken the military power to deal with him, maybe they will force the Zheng family army back.

However, Zheng Hongkui is different from his elder brother Zheng Zhilong. He never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After Hongguang, he supported Emperor Longwu to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Just a few days ago, the former owner of this body sent him to Zhenjiang to guard against the Qing army, serving as the general of Zhenjiang and Zhenhai.

After Zhu Yousong learned of this, he immediately made such a decree, urgently ordering Zheng Hongkui to go to Beijing.

Standing next to Zhu Yousong today is a bloated, white-faced eunuch who is Han Zanzhou, the eunuch who handles the printing of ceremonies.

Han Zanzhou didn't quite understand Zhu Yousong's words, Wei Wei was stunned and hurriedly bowed his body and said: "Your Majesty, General Zheng just left the capital to take up his post, why did you let him go and come back? Is there any mistake?"

"There is a big event." Zhu Yousong nodded.

Han Zanzhou didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly asked the Imperial Academy to draw up an order.

　Some book friends said that this is a novel of fantasy and comprehension, absolutely not, you will know after reading it, yes, she is a pure historical novel.
