Ming Zuo

Chapter 843 Title
Zuo Menggeng never thought that such a thing as persuading Jin would happen to him.

He always thought that the so-called persuasion was nothing more than a play by careerists.

He obviously wanted to be king and emperor, but he still pretended to be reluctant.Waiting for the people below to ask three times and give way three times, and show the virtue that everyone expects.

Seeing Wanminshu at this time, I have to say that the shocking feeling was unforgettable for him all his life.

Really want to go further?

He couldn't help hesitating.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and any change in his expression would be noticed.

Zhang Zongheng hurriedly said: "We have always called ourselves Shandong and Shandong. But now our territory is not only Shandong, but also covers the two Huaihe Rivers, Jiangnan, and as far as Nuergandusi. Calling ourselves Shandong is not in line with what it means. .”

Fu Yusun mentioned another practical issue.

"As Huang Taiji established the country and proclaimed himself emperor, people from all walks of life have shown their banners and their ambitions are clearly revealed. If we don't build an extreme, we will be willing to be left behind. If we lose our momentum, all people in the world will turn to others."

This piece of advice touched Zuo Menggeng's heart.

Of course he knows that in a situation where the heroes are fighting, one cannot be too weak.

Although Shandong is very strong politically and militarily, if Huang Taiji also proclaims himself emperor, Shandong has no banner to contend with, which will inevitably make people in this camp feel frustrated.

But he also has concerns.

"If we also have the title of Jianguo, will Daming attack with all its strength?"

Although Huang Taiji is building a country and proclaiming himself emperor, in terms of consequences, he is far inferior to Shandong.

Although Hou Jin was a great enemy, it made Daming heartbroken.But in the final analysis, Liaodong is still too far away.

No matter what happens over there, it will be weakened a lot when reflected on Wanmin of the Central Plains.

This is like ordinary people in later generations talking loudly about the Russia-Ukraine war, but in fact they don't really feel it.

Although the people of Ming Dynasty in this era hated Hou Jin deeply, they didn't think that Hou Jin had the ability to rule the Central Plains.

But Shandong is different.

Just above the homeland of the Han family, adjacent to the center of the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains.

If Shandong divides its borders and establishes a country, it is almost tantamount to declaring that Ming has lost its orthodoxy.

The fear of national subjugation is imminent. Even if Chongzhen and Ming Dynasty knew that Shandong was strong and irresistible, they would choose to fight desperately.

Either you die or I die.

However, in Shandong's established plan, the time has not come to replace Daming.

Hou Xun was quite flexible and immediately thought of a way.

"We can take a step back and stop Jianyuan from proclaiming himself emperor."

Dang Huanchun came to his senses, stroked his beard and smiled.

"Liu Bang took the King of Han as the foundation of advancement and established a strong Han; Li Yuan took the name of King Tang and sat in the land of Longxing in Guanzhong; Zhu Yuanzhang first called King Wu, set Ding Jiangnan, and then went to the north to conquer Yuan. The commander should be called Wang Lihao, Zhao Tell the world."

This approach has been unanimously approved by everyone.

Proclaiming the emperor would be tantamount to a complete break with Daming, and life and death must be decided.But if it is just to be king, it seems to be lowered, but it already has the capital to seal the border and crack the soil.

Throughout the ages, among all the heroes who competed for the world, none of them succeeded in one step and proclaimed themselves emperor.

Not only that, if you become king first, you can also hide your strength, bury your head in development, and accumulate strength.When the time is right, it will be a matter of course to win the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally wiped out the heroes and expelled the Tartars with the capital of the common people, and achieved great achievements as an emperor, setting an example for all people with lofty ideals.

At the very least, the strategy of "building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Today's troubled times at the end of Ming Dynasty are actually similar to those at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

Daming is orthodox, but its strength still exists; Later Jin dominates Liaodong, aggressive;

At first glance, it seems that anyone has a chance to win the world.

At such a time, you must not be the first bird.Otherwise, it will be the target of public criticism and besieged.No matter how strong the strength is, I'm afraid it's hard to beat four hands with two fists.

Taking a step back, if you just claim to be the king, although the intention is full, it will not be too irritating to Daming.

When a person is faced with the temptation to push forward, his endurance is very strong.As long as the strength is not too much, it will be accepted slowly.

I listen to it for a while and don't go in, but after listening to it a lot, when I really go in, I won't resist too much.

For the dynasty, sometimes this is actually the case.

If Shandong directly proclaims the emperor and builds a country, it is guaranteed that Daming will become completely crazy and attack with all its strength no matter what.

But as long as Shandong slows down and increases the pressure bit by bit, Daming can't push himself hard, and the frog will be boiled slowly in warm water.

After all, when Shandong became independent, Daming chose patience; when Shandong occupied Songjiang Mansion, Daming chose patience; when Shandong attacked Lianghuai, Daming still chose patience.

This is enduring, now that Shandong is king, it seems that there is nothing left.

"The title of Jianji is fine, but the principle of equality for all cannot be changed. This king is not the other king, but only the name of the country and the people. We must never be domineering like a feudal emperor and override the people of the country. "

It is difficult to disobey the will of all, Zuo Menggeng wisely chose to be kind, but he also put forward restrictions.

After working hard for so long, I have spread the advanced political ideas.Wouldn't it be worth the loss if we went back to the old era of decay and decline?

"I'm waiting for that."

Hou Xun hastily tapped the nail to turn the corner to clarify the matter.

In fact, they have been working in Shandong for a long time, and they are used to the atmosphere where everyone is equal. They are no longer willing to bow down to the king like slaves like in the past.

Even if Zuo Menggeng didn't mention it, they would put an end to it.

And Zuo Menggeng did not forget his original intention, which made everyone feel at ease.

Follow such a leader, why not worry about the great cause?

However, new problems emerged.

Zhou You asked, "If it is called Wang Jian, how should the title be chosen?"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

To be king is of course to have a title.

For example, Liu Bang is the king of Han, Li Yuan is the king of Tang, and Zhu Yuanzhang is the king of Wu.

So when we come to Zuo Menggeng, what should we call him?
The most difficult point of convincing Zuo Menggeng to become king has been solved, but the rest is much easier.

Hou Xun decided to brainstorm.

"It's better to publish the article everywhere and adopt the opinions of the public, so as to be able to convince the public."

It will definitely take a long time to prepare for Shandong's title of Wang Jian, and it will definitely fall after Huang Taiji proclaims himself emperor and founding a country.

Since there is plenty of time, why not take this opportunity to initiate a wide-ranging discussion and unite people's hearts.

After so many years, it is finally time to go one step further.

Everyone is eager and has already begun to think about what to call it.
