Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

How to break the situation.

On the rice paper on the panel, when these four words were reflected in the eyes of these princes and princes, all of them looked thoughtful.

Hongguang, Longwu.

Although the two dynasties were both in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the actual situations were completely different.

Although the Hongguang regime founded by Zhu Yousong also had warlords, there were multiple warlords, and each warlord could not be a dominant one. Moreover, these warlords had conflicts with each other, and the Hongguang court still had a certain degree of deterrence.

As long as you handle it properly, you can still have fun.

Overall, the Hongguang regime can be regarded as a useful court.

however.

The situation under the Longwu regime was completely different.

Because in the Longwu Dynasty, there was only one big warlord, and that was the Zheng family headed by Zheng Zhilong. This group of pirates started their business

It seems that Emperor Longwu ascended the throne and established the Longwu regime and established a new generation of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But actually.

This Longwu court was just a flag created by Zheng Zhilong for himself because of the Zheng clan. Because of the flag of Emperor Longwu, he could raise taxes from various places openly and expand his army arbitrarily.

As for the other things, the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory, and the Northern Expedition to drive the Qing Dynasty, in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, it was all nonsense. Whoever wanted to do it would do it. Zheng Zhilong couldn't do it anyway.

It would be easy to say that he had any backbone, but unfortunately history finally proved that Zheng Zhilong didn’t even have backbone.

"Brother."

"In our opinion, this Longwu matter is nothing more than a word."

When no one speaks.

Lao Zhu frowned and spoke aloud.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on their great ancestor.

"kill."

A cold murderous intent flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes.

"Father is right."

Lao Zhu Di also spoke out after Lao Zhu.

"Since the military and political affairs of the Longwu Dynasty are all in the hands of the Zheng family, then we will kill the Zheng family and take back the military and political power."

For these emperors of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty who have traveled through time and space many times, traveling through the past and hacking people to death was an extremely skillful operation, and it was completely trivial.

Within three minutes, the battle will be resolved.

"No."

at this time.

Abiao, who rarely expressed opinions in practical classes, spoke up.

With one word, A Biao attracted everyone's attention. They all wanted to know what Xue Babiao thought about this issue.

"Biao'er, what's wrong?"

Lao Zhu looked at A Biao and asked aloud.

In Lao Zhu's view, since the military and political power of the Longwu Ming Dynasty was in the hands of traitors, he should kill the traitors, regain the military and political power, and start the Northern Expedition again.

From this perspective, there should be no problem.

"Father, if you think about it carefully, Longwu's situation seems to be the same as that of the powerful officials in previous generations, but in fact it is different."

Abiao took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"The Zheng family's warlords, from the generals to the officers at all levels, are all close followers of the Zheng family. From the moment they join the army, in their minds, these soldiers eat the food of the Zheng family and serve the orders of the Zheng family. "

"In their eyes, there is no imperial court, no king or father."

"Once we kill Zheng Zhilong and other core figures of the Zheng family, this army will instantly fall into chaos."

"At least, mutiny."

"Heavy duty, plundering Fujing, and committing regicide."

After Emperor Longwu ascended the throne, he changed Fuzhou into the capital, also known as Fujing.

Hear the words.

Lao Zhu frowned.

"What Biao'er said is reasonable, but we have ignored this point."

Get to its essence.

This army under Zheng Zhilong started out as pirates. It is a group of out-and-out ruffians and private soldiers.

"Well, what brother said is very reasonable."

Zhu Laosi also said aloud.

"The best way is to support someone who can suppress the warlord's soldiers before killing the traitor leader."

So much for words.

Everyone was silent.

They didn't know much about the Longwu Ming Dynasty. They were limited to the little information given by Immortal Master just now. They were really blind when looking for someone who could suppress Zheng's soldiers.

"There is one such person."

Ji Boying, who was listening to the whole conversation between the Zhu family and his son, glanced at the silent Zhu family emperors.

They didn't know the whole history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but Ji Boying did.

If you want to find someone to take over Zheng Zhilong, this candidate is easy to choose.

Just find him and that's it.

Zheng Chenggong!

From a historical perspective.

This guy is absolutely reliable.

At least, during this period of time in Longwu, Zheng Chenggong was absolutely reliable.

After all, this is the man who can break up with his father on the basis of justice.

For this reason alone, after Zheng Chenggong replaced Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong would definitely fully assist Emperor Longwu in his northern expedition to rejuvenate the country.

immediately.

Ji Boying made a brief summary of Zheng Chenggong's life story and poured it into the minds of these princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty in a "comprehensive" way.

Broke with his father, led the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty - was granted the title of prince, led his troops to attack the Qing troops in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and repeatedly refused to surrender - merged and went north, broke Guazhou, went down to Zhenjiang, surrounded Jiangning, the Qing court was shocked - was defeated in Xiamen , passed through Penghu, reached Luermen in Taiwan, surrounded Chican City, defeated the Netherlands, and recovered the entire island of Taiwan.

Suddenly, after learning about Zheng Chenggong's experience, all the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty's eyes lit up.

"This person is very suitable in terms of his status and courage, as well as his loyalty to our Ming Dynasty and his determination to exterminate slaves."

After clarifying Zheng Chenggong's resume, Abiao gave his own answer.

"Well, it's him."

Lao Zhu nodded and made the final decision.

‘Xiao Hei, lock the Longwu time and space. ’

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and others and said something in his heart.

"Xiao Hei: Okay boss, locked"

then.

The breeze stirred slightly.

With a 'swish'. Look again.

In the main hall of Zuixian Tower, there was no one else except Lianxiang Xiyu.

...........................

Longwu time and space in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Tianxing Mansion (Fuzhou), the Emperor's Palace (formerly Nan'an Bo Mansion), is said to be a palace, but in fact it is just a renovated mansion, without any splendor at all.

Fengtian Temple.

After Emperor Longwu proclaimed himself emperor, the Chief Secretary of Fujian was renamed Fujing, Fuzhou Xingzai was renamed Tianxingfu, the Chief Secretary was renamed Xingdian, and the Construction Bank was located in Taimiao Temple, Sheji and the Tang Guozong Temple. Zheng Zhilong was promoted to Pingluhou, Zheng Hongkui was Dingluhou, Zheng Zhibao was granted the title of Chengji Bo, and Zheng Cai was granted the title of Yongsheng Bo. Huang Daozhou is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Bachelor of Wuyingdian, Jiang Dejing is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu and the Bachelor of Wenyuange, Zhu Jizuo is the Minister of Rites and the Bachelor of Dongge, Zeng Ying is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Bachelor of Dongge, Huang Mingjun and Li Guangchun, Su Guansheng and others were ministers of the rites and military ministries and bachelors of Dongge University.

In July of the same year, he ordered that the names of Huangji Hall, Zhongji Hall, and Jianji Hall during the Jiajing period be restored to Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall, and the word "Xingzai" was added in front of each government office.

From the restoration of the name of the three halls and the word "Tianxing", it can be seen everywhere that Emperor Longwu wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that God did not fulfill his wish.

now.

In the Fengtian Palace.

Fengtian Hall, which is said to be one of the three main halls, is actually very different in scale from the original Fengtian Hall. It is just a central hall.

The sound of sadness echoed in the room.

The forty-four-year-old Emperor Longwu ordered people to set up a worship altar in this hall, and personally worshiped his deceased ministers as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you must put the dragon's body first. You haven't finished all the rice for two days."

Beside Emperor Longwu, the old eunuch comforted him softly.

Since the news of Huang Daozhou's death came, Emperor Longwu set up a spiritual altar in Fengtian Hall (Xingzai) and vowed to personally conduct the Northern Expedition.

of course.

Emperor Longwu put on such a posture, firstly, to express his determination to the people of the world, telling the people that the Longwu Dynasty was not a place of peace, and secondly, to tell Zheng Zhilong and others.

I am about to go on a personal expedition, will you come or not?

If you don't come and lose this golden signboard of mine, how can you still lose half of the country?

But judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Zheng Zhilong and others will not come. In addition to the fish and meat route, they have another way, surrender.

Because since Emperor Longwu released the news that he was going to personally conduct the Northern Expedition, Zheng Zhilong has not expressed his position at all, not even a letter, and they are all pretending to be dead.

"I am angry, I hate, I pity."

Stopping in front of Huang Daozhou's soul, Zhu Yujian clenched his fists, and his whole body seemed to have veins popping out on his forehead.

What he was angry about and hated was that Zheng Zhilong had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals, hoarding millions of grain and grass, but he did not send out a single soldier in the Northern Expedition. Compared with Huang Daozhou, who spent all his wealth to recruit troops and led the pole troops in the Northern Expedition to recover the territory. In terms of his loyalty to the emperor, who would rather die than surrender when captured, Zheng Zhilong simply deserves to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

What makes him pity is that as the emperor, he has been made like this since he ascended the throne. He declares decrees to the world and the emperor personally conquers. In the end, he can't even assemble a decent army or even a batch of military rations. Not being able to come out, let alone reward the army with food and pay, has become a joke in the eyes of others, and it is really a joke in the world.

"Your Majesty, this old slave will die. I beg you, Your Majesty, to withdraw your intention of the Northern Expedition!"

The old eunuch knelt down with a plop and kowtowed heavily in front of Emperor Longwu. He had grown up with Zhu Yujian since he was a child. He watched Zhu Yujian become the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, the king of the Tang Dynasty, and was imprisoned in Fengyang and later reinstated. Wangjue, until now he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

He deeply realized that it was really difficult for Emperor Longwu to reach this point.

"You don't believe me either?"

Zhu Yujian looked at his old slave and frowned.

This old eunuch, who has been with him for half his life, can be said to be the person he trusts the most now.

"I don't dare. I just know that there is no big army accompanying me. If Your Majesty goes to conquer it in person, what difference will it make to entering that dragon's pond and tiger's den alone?!"

"I don't want to see Your Majesty risking his life."

The old eunuch knelt down and burst into tears.

Even an old eunuch could understand the truth. Emperor Longwu, who was well versed in ancient and modern times and never let go of the scroll, could not possibly not understand it.

He certainly understands the fate of Cao Wei and Cao Mao in the past.

but.

What's the use of understanding it? !

Cao Mao had no other choice back then, but does Zhu Yujian have one now?

"Do I have any other choice?"

Zhu Yujian looked up to the sky and sighed.

Precisely because the more books he read, the more he understood the situation he was in, and the more he understood that he had no other choice at all, and that he could not let himself become a hedonistic fool.

He is just a puppet.

And he was unwilling to be a puppet.

Even if there is no military food support, even if he can only gather a few thousand loose soldiers, he will still fight hard enough, at least not to leave any regrets in his heart.

At this moment, a clear sound sounded.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Chenggong, pays homage to your Majesty."

I saw a heroic young man standing outside the threshold.

Astonishingly, it was Zheng Zhilong’s eldest son, Zheng Sen.

Zhu Chenggong's original name was Zheng Sen. After the founding of the Longwu Dynasty, Zhu Yujian met Zheng Chenggong for the first time. Seeing his prowess, and wanting to get closer to Zheng Zhilong, he gave him a national surname and changed his name to Chenggong. In this way, Zheng Sen became Zhu Chenggong, and he was also the Ming Dynasty master who was famous for decades.

Hear the words.

Emperor Longwu turned around and looked around. When he saw Zhu Chenggong, his eyes were filled with emotion.

After all, some people are still willing to come.

Although of little use.

"Let's go back."

"I hope you will never forget the sincerity in your heart and uphold the cause of the Northern Expedition."

Zhu Yujian knew it very well.

Although Zhu Chenggong was Zheng Zhilong's eldest son and had personally led the army, he was still a junior of the Zheng family and had limited military power at his disposal. Rather than follow him on this meaningless Northern Expedition and lose Zheng Zhilong's trust.

It's better not to go and continue to command troops among the Zheng family, which can also save some strength for future resistance against the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, please remember this!"

How could Zhu Chenggong not understand these truths? He knelt down and worshiped, his eyes red.

At this moment, Zhu Chenggong felt extremely helpless. Apart from coming to Fengtian Palace to show his loyalty to the emperor, he could not provide any other substantial help.

He knew in his heart that his father Zheng Zhilong, uncle Zheng Zhibao and others had always only had self-interest in their hearts and had no thoughts of family and country, let alone any loyalty to the emperor.

Zhu Chenggong is deeply ashamed and ashamed of this, but he is really helpless now. There is no way. Although he is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, he is the number one figure in the next generation of the Zheng family, and he has already commanded the army. In the Zheng family, He is also quite prestigious in the military, but in the Zheng clan, he is still just a junior. The real power is in the hands of his father Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao and other uncles. If these people don't nod, he will not be able to help Longwu at all.

"In gratitude to my ancestors, can you tell the unfilial son Zhu Yujian how to behave in the future?"

Zhu Yujian's eyes were moist and he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

If he had any other options, he would not embark on the road of no return alone in the Northern Expedition.

PS: Recently, some readers have noticed that the number of words in a single chapter has decreased.

This is true.

There are three reasons.

First, the mother-in-law went back to celebrate the New Year. She had to spend most of the day with her wife spending time with the children, leaving too little time for coding.

Second, the book has entered the final stage. Basically, all data are at the bottom stage, and then it will gradually come to an end, so the speed has slowed down a bit.

Third, I still have some time left to conceive of a new book. (End of chapter)
