nanming man

Chapter 923
In April, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is infinitely beautiful.

Now that Zhu Cihong has been emperor for nearly seven years, he has successfully controlled the entire country.

If there hadn't been the rise of the Wei Kingdom, Zhu Cihong would definitely be in high spirits at this time, but the existence of Gao Yihuan made him restless, even looking at the beautiful scenery on Xuanwu Lake, he didn't feel a little bit of pleasure in his heart.

At this time, the boat was sailing on the sparkling lake, and Zhong Shan was reflected in the lake. Zhu Cihong was wearing a Minghuang dragon robe and a winged crown, standing on the building with his hands behind his back.

On the deck, Jin Yiwei, who was wearing a flying fish suit, a plate helmet, and embroidered spring knives, stood on the side of the ship, watching all around vigilantly.

At this time, a small boat slowly approached the building boat. Jin Yiwei put down the rope ladder on the boat. The commander of Jin Yiwei, Wu Bangfu, climbed up first, followed by a thin old man with a turban on his head.

Wu Bangfu said to the old man: "Master Feng later!"

The old man nodded, Wu Bangfu tidied up his python robe, walked up to the boathouse, and saluted the lonely figure above, "Your Majesty, the man is here!"

Zhu Cihong didn't turn around, but said lightly: "Let him come up!"

"Yes!" Wu Bangfu bowed, then walked to the edge of the boat building, and winked at the Jin Yiwei below. They immediately understood and led the old man up the boat building.

At this time, Wu Bangfu waved his hand, and the Jinyi guards on the deck left the surrounding of the ship building one after another, leaving only Zhu Cihong standing with his hands behind his back, Wu Bangfu standing beside him holding a knife, and an old man in a gray cloth robe and a turban.

At this time, the thin old man looked at Zhu Cihong's back, first knelt down and kowtowed, and said with tears running down his face: "The old minister can see His Majesty, and see that His Majesty has become a hero who has turned the tide, and he really has no regrets in dying!"

Zhu Cihong turned around, looked at the old man, but said with a sneer, "Okay, Mr. Feng, there's no need to act. Tell me about your reason for coming!"

The person who came was Feng Quan, a bachelor during the Tianqi period. After the Manchus entered the customs, he surrendered to the Manchus.

Feng Quan's face was a little embarrassed, but he immediately recovered, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am here for the great Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Cihong was not ashamed in his heart, and in his heart, he despised these ministers of the Ming Dynasty who took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Food for the king, loyalty to the king, since they have enjoyed the favor of the Ming Dynasty, but they can't be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, these people are traitors and traitors.

Feng Quan was obviously a servant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he kowtowed to him as soon as he came up. He was a shameless minister who didn't even add a word of guilt. He felt disgusted when he saw it.

Now that Feng Quan said that he came here for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihuang felt it was very ridiculous. This bad old man is very bad. Listen, sir, why is it for my country."

Feng Quan immediately kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Dorgon sent his minister here to borrow a boat from His Majesty. I think this is a golden opportunity for His Majesty."

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly, thinking that sure enough, this old dog is not thinking about Daming, he is clearly interceding for his master.

Regarding the matter of borrowing the boat, Zhu Cihong has already made up his mind not to lend it to Dorgon, let Dorgon and Gao Yihuan die, dragging Wei Jun, and when Dorgon is about to lose its use value, he will start again Dorgon was stabbed in the back to show his stand against the Tartars.

Zhu Cihong waved his hands impatiently, "If it's for this matter, sir, you can go back."

Seeing this, Wu Bangfu hurried forward, ready to ask Feng Quan to leave.

Feng Quan was in a hurry, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Wei army is sharpening their swords now, and Dorgon has no intention of entanglement, and just wants to withdraw from the customs. At this time, Dorgon will agree to any conditions that His Majesty proposes, including His Majesty's request for Shandong. North Zhili."

Feng Quan spoke quickly and directly threw out Dorgon's hole card. He really didn't do it for Dorgon, but for himself.

The most taboo thing in negotiation is to let the opponent know the hole cards, otherwise it will be difficult to bargain. Feng Quan's position is definitely not to stand on the side of Man Qing, but to sell Man Qing.

Zhu Cihong frowned and was stunned. He was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this really true?"

Recovering Shandong and North Zhili, and recovering Beijing are still very attractive to Zhu Cihong.If he can occupy Shandong and North Zhili, and the army enters Shenjing, it will definitely boost the morale of the Ming army and civilians, and in turn suppress Gao Yihuan.

Feng Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true! Dorgon is going to withdraw from the customs, and the hearts of the people in Beijing have been dispersed. I have already contacted many ministers. Everyone is willing to welcome Your Majesty back to the capital."

If Dorgon wanted to withdraw from the pass, the Manchus would definitely leave, but in the Qing court, many Han officials did not want to go to the bitter cold outside the pass.

Then they only had two options left, to seek refuge in Wei State or to rely on Nanming. Many officials in Beijing contacted Wei State, and naturally some people wanted to seek refuge in Nanming.

The reason why Feng Quan wanted to seek refuge with Zhu Cihong was relatively simple. Wei Guo had no relationship with him. He had no relationship with Wei Guo. He didn’t know how Wei Guoguo would treat him. However, Nanming is now under Ma Ruan’s party, which is regarded as the eunuch party. He has many Old acquaintances and old disciples were all officials in Nanming, and he himself had friendship with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, so he decided to join Nanming.

This is the same as Wu Sangui's choice to join the Qing Dynasty. During the Dashun Dynasty, Wu Sangui had no acquaintances or connections. He could not predict his fate after joining the Dashun. On the side of the Qing Dynasty, there were his uncle Zu Dashou and brother Wu Sanfeng. Uncle Pei Guozhen, cousin Hu Hongxian, and many of the Liaodong warlords became traitors. Wu Sangui’s network was on the side of the Manchu Qing. His fate after joining the Manchu Qing was relatively certain. It was even more impossible for him to trust Li Zicheng.

To sum up, it is less risky to rely on a party with a network.

Seeing that Zhu Cihuang was deep in thought, Feng Quan knew that he was tempted, so he hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Gao Yihuan is gathering troops to attack Shenjing. If Your Majesty does not take it, Shenjing will fall into the hands of Wei Jun. Your Majesty It will be too late to regret. If Your Majesty agrees, I can let the Qing army cooperate with Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty will still play the banner of the Northern Expedition, and the Qing army will take the initiative to withdraw to Denglai. The Shandong prefecture has surrendered to Daming. If His Majesty regains Beijing, his prestige will be greatly enhanced, and he will be the master of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Then, as the Son of Heaven, he will be able to calmly deal with the Western Wei Dynasty."

Zhu Cihong remained silent for a long time. He couldn't decide on such a big matter right away and needed to discuss it with his confidants, but his heart was indeed moved.

At this time, when Zhu Cihong looked at Feng Quan again, his eyes immediately softened, and he suddenly felt that this bad old man didn't make him so sick anymore.

Zhu Cihong walked up to Feng Quan, and suddenly bent down to help Feng Quan who was on the ground, with a smile on his face, "Sir, you have worked hard, get up and talk, I want to have a detailed talk with you!"
