Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297 The First Anti-Bandit Alliance (22

After vigorously rubbing the dirt on his body, Jiang Gechang felt much more comfortable.It's just that the bath water after washing his head turned black immediately, and after smelling the strange smell on his body, Jiang Gechang could only ask someone to change the water in embarrassment.

After soaking in clean bath water, the itching felt much better, and Jiang Gechang's mind also reacted much faster.Jiang Gechang, who was an official reviewer of the Imperial Academy, really experienced the pain of the people's livelihood in the chaos of the world.At the same time, Jiang Gechang, who has brushed shoulders with death several times, still has lingering fears.

Originally, Jiang Gechang wanted to take a bath before coming to the Prince's Mansion of Yanping County, but he had lost his change of clothes long ago, and secondly, he had no money to buy them.Therefore, Jiang Gechang could only lose the face of the court, and came to the door like a beggar.

Before departure, Jiang Gechang was personally summoned by Mu Tianbo, after some in-depth discussion, Jiang Gechang also understood the importance of his trip.It can be said that Jiang Gechang came here with the great cause of the revival of Ming Dynasty on his back.

It's just that no matter how lofty the ideal is, it will all be ashes in front of the stomach.When the food was picked up by the chopsticks, Jiang Gechang forgot about the great cause of revival, and all he wanted was to have a good meal, so Jiang Gechang began to eat the chopsticks like flying, seeing, chopsticks, and mouth.Compared with Jiang Gechang, those guards who escaped by chance were even more miserable. They directly gave up their chopsticks and replaced them with their hands. To lick the plate clean.If they hadn't taken the trails to avoid bandits, if it wasn't for the trails that often got lost, if it wasn't for the trails where no one could rob them, if it wasn't for Jiang Gechang's continuous sealing of officials and making wishes, they wouldn't be like beggars. When they came to Zhangzhou Mansion, they should have run away long ago because of this situation.

The meal lasted for half an hour, and when the time came to Shenshi, the housekeeper who brought Jiang Kechang into the county palace came again, and he brought the news that the prince had received Jiang Kechang.

Now that Daming's prestige is declining, the envoys who are away from home also consciously lose the pride of angels.

Abandoning his guards, Jiang Gechang quickly tidied up his appearance and followed the housekeeper to Zhu Chenggong's study.The butler stood outside the door to inform, then pushed the door open but did not enter, and Jiang Gechang entered the study alone.At this moment, Zhu Chenggong was sitting alone in the study.

After seeing Jiang Gechang, Zhu Chenggong didn't move his butt.The south is already in chaos, and Haoxiong has a self-reliant heart in his heart, so there is only a brand left in Ming Dynasty.Moreover, the steward informed that the envoy only brought Mu Tianbomu's letter, and did not carry the imperial decree, so Zhu Chenggong didn't have to lower his posture.Although Mu Tianbo is the actual controller of the Yongli court in the remnant Ming Dynasty, he is only a majestic and prestige in the Yongli court. If he is out of southern Guangxi and western Guangdong, who will care about him?

During this period of time, Mu Tianbo had sent several groups of envoys to Zhangzhou Mansion, and Zhu Chenggong felt that he was being elevated.

Although both Zhu Chenggong and Li Dingguo were honored as national heroes in history, national heroes are also human beings with selfish motives.Besides, they all have their own subordinates, and they also have to protect the interests of their subordinates. If the boss doesn't care about his subordinates, who will work for him?And since it is a national hero, it is natural to put the nation first.When the Tartars came overwhelmingly, Zhu Chenggong, Li Dingguo and others couldn't bear the Tartars, so they could only hold a group to respect the Ming.But now the general situation has changed, the security team has carried the three axes of the Tartars, and the general situation in this world has also calmed down a lot.So Li Dingguo and Zhu Chenggong's attitude towards Remnant Ming also changed accordingly.One of them rebelled against Ming Dynasty with their adoptive father for more than ten years, and the other was that their father was a pirate, and it took them more than ten years to surrender to Ming Dynasty, and most of the time they still listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.They are not the descendants of scholars who have been supported by Daming for more than [-] years.

Seeing Zhu Chenggong sitting on the chair, Jiang Gechang was unmoved, so he had to come up and bowed and said,

"The subordinate Hanlin Academy reviewed Jiang Gechang and met the prince." During the conversation, Jiang Gechang kept his posture low. It is not good to have a high posture when asking for help.

After finishing speaking, before Zhu Chenggong could answer, Jiang Gechang took out another letter from his arms and handed it over, saying as he walked.

"This is a letter from Mu Shangshu to the prince."

After receiving the letter, Zhu Chenggong unwrapped the oiled paper wrapped outside, and checked that the wax seal on the letter mouth was intact, and then opened the letter.After pulling out the letter, Zhu Chenggong shook the folded letter open, and then read it.

Mu Tianbo's envoys have come several times, and Zhu Chenggong is also very familiar with Mu Tianbo's handwriting.

After reading a few lines, Zhu Chenggong's expression changed.After reading it once, Zhu Chenggong read it again and again twice before putting down the letter.

After putting down the letter, Zhu Chenggong stared at Jiang Gechang again and said.

"Mu Shangshu means that I want the king to lead the navy to go north to Nanjing?"

Jiang Gechang nodded in approval of Zhu Chenggong's words.

Seeing Jiang Gechang like this, Zhu Chenggong laughed angrily: "The regiment bandits have nearly a million soldiers, and the king's men are worth a hundred thousand. Isn't this lone army attacking Nanjing to die?"

"My lord, the king of Zhou will also send troops to Anqing Mansion to contain the bandit forces! And the king of Lu will also counterattack northern Zhejiang at the same time!" Jiang Gechang said hastily.

"Then please ask the envoy to go back to the court and tell Mu Shangshu that after King Zhou and King Lu send troops, I will send troops to the north again." Zhu Chenggong snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Gechang was very anxious.When he came, Mu Shangshu had already told him that no matter what, he had to persuade Zhu Chenggong to send troops first, otherwise everyone was waiting for others to come first, but in the end it turned out that no one came forward.

"My lord, Mu Shangshu said that if the lord is willing to send troops, after the regiment bandits are eliminated in the future, the lord will ask His Majesty to grant Zhejiang to the lord as a vassal state. In the future, the lord's family will live in Zhejiang forever!" Jiang Gechang said through gritted teeth.

This was what Mu Tianbo said when Jiang Gechang came. If Zhu Chenggong is not satisfied with the conditions in the letter, he should say the conditions.

After hearing this, Zhu Chenggong hesitated in his heart.Yongzhen Zhejiang?This is simply something he can't even imagine!Compared with Zhejiang, Fujian is not even worthy of carrying shoes.Fujian has eight mountains, one water and one field. Although the south of Zhejiang is also mountainous, both central and northern Zhejiang are rich places!Although Zhu Chenggong also has self-reliance in his heart, it would be a perfect thing if he could fight gangsters and then get Zhejiang under the Yongli Dynasty.only……

After thinking of some obstacles, Zhu Chenggong asked.

"What about King Lu and Duke Mingyi?"

Seeing that Zhu Chenggong's tone was a little loose, Jiang Gechang also heaved a sigh of relief, no matter how awesome a character is, he can't block a sharp word.There is nothing impossible in the world, only the benefits paid are not enough.

"Where King Lu intends to resign from the title of Supervisor of the State, of course he will return to the court in the future. As for Ming Yigong, the remnants of a mere Tartar, at best, will end up in a confinement."

After a long silence, Zhu Chenggong said.

"Please also ask the envoy to take a break for a few days, and this king will think about it."
