Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 454 Fire Union (Continued)

A courtier certainly doesn't understand the heart of an emperor.

In the past few days, Zhu Yousong has been calm on the surface, listening to songs, watching dances, drinking, and sex.

But in his heart, he had already thought about the important matter of Zheng Zheng's family. The country of Daming belonged to him. Yeye, what kind of effort he put in for more than 1 hours, can he not cherish this hard-won achievement?

Hearing chickens dancing every day is unshakable.In order to revitalize Nanming's game of chess, he racked his brains and painstakingly.It is not easy to come to Beijing to enthroned and sit in the palace. It is equivalent to fighting the country again. After going through all kinds of hardships, it can be said that it is a trade for life. Therefore, he will definitely not be the Queen Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Zicheng taught him a lesson I won't forget either!

It's just that he is now a veritable emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He has experienced many battles and has been an emperor for more than a year.

Don't panic when things happen, calm and stable.No matter how powerful Zheng Zhilong is, he is still a bit inferior to trespassers and thieves.His rebellion was expected, and he just took the opportunity to pacify the southeast.

The Jiangnan coastal area at the end of the Ming Dynasty was originally a place with rough waves. Now, several royal families surnamed Zhu who were unwilling to be lonely in history have all gone there. Sooner or later, troubles will happen. When they rebelled, Zhu Yousong took action to deal with them until they were subdued.

Therefore, Zhu Song was not surprised by Zheng Zhilong and Tang Wang Zhu Yujian's troubles in Fujian, nor was he angry. Instead, he felt that the opportunity had come.

As for the dangers of the capital in the eyes of all the officials, Zhu Yousong hadn't thought about it.

Uncle and nephew Zheng Hongkui controls an army of 20 million in the capital. These troops are not ordinary troops, but the Jingying soldiers and the Imperial Forest Army. In particular, the Imperial Forest Army protects the Imperial City and Bauhinia City. Quan is an important position in the factory guard. If these people instigate a mutiny, surround the capital, and break into the palace, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But the reason why Zhu Yousong is so calm is of course his self-confidence. His self-confidence comes from two aspects. One is his knowledge before time travel and his realistic cognition of Zheng Hongkui's uncle and nephew.

Zhu Yousong learned a lot about the history of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties through school textbooks, film and television novels.There is both a thumbs-up admiration for Zheng Chenggong and his son, because Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui are real national heroes. At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong was also considered a national hero. He defeated the Dutch navy at sea. , sitting in Fujian and Fujian garrison led tens of thousands of troops to garrison coastal defense, successfully resisted Japanese pirates and Dutch attacks, and protected the southeast coast from being invaded by foreigners and pirates.

It was only later that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Cai surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, which was his biggest failure.The reason why Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui can remain famous in history is that they persuaded them to surrender and put pressure on them repeatedly under the circumstances of their father Zheng Zhilong Longqing. Zheng Chenggong still insisted on Qing Dynasty for decades, and managed Taiwan and hurried away the Dutch colonists.

This is of course the historical record.But this has already drawn a clear line between Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and his son in Zhu Yousong's mind.

The realistic cognition is that although Zhu Yousong has never had contact with Zheng Zhilong, nor has he had much contact with Zheng Cai, he knows Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew, and Li Quan very well. Li Quan is loyal to him, and he is also the emperor's kindness to their uncles and nephews and Li Quan. At this time, Zheng Zhilong rebelled and protected Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, and Zheng Hongkui and the others might not follow him.

Of course, the worst plan is that Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Cai, and Li Quan all followed Zheng Zhilong to rebel and instigated hundreds of thousands of troops under him. That is to surround the capital, rush into the palace, control or assassinate themselves.

Even so, Zhu Yousong still has his self-confidence, which is his second self-confidence, which is his powerful force.

His powerful military force is divided into two layers. One is that he still has a forbidden army. Zhu Yousong has a total of three forbidden troops. The more than 1 troops are compound arms. Apart from the Musketeer Battalion and the Artillery Battalion, there are also white soldiers from the Royal Battalion Cavalry and the Loyalty Battalion. Only these two ace battalions can stand alone for him.

The second is Zhu Yousong's own military power. With the physique of a warrior, he can single-handedly kill several times among the thousands of Tartar troops. What is there to be afraid of such force?What's more, there are two heroines Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao as personal bodyguards, so even if Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong led tens of thousands of troops into the palace, Zhu Yousong didn't care.In addition, for this Li Quan, Zhu Yousong can always control and control Li Quan through the relationship between He Xuanjiao and Liu Chunhong. Therefore, in view of the above factors, Zhu Yousong behaved so calm and confident.

However, this incident was a very severe test for Zhu Yousong. If Zhu Yousong was not so calm and calm, but followed the habitual thinking and the advice of the ministers, it would be reckless to think that Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong must follow Zheng Zhilong to rebel and send troops Surrounding their mansions and arresting them all will inevitably wrong the good people, resulting in "rebellion is rebellion, no rebellion is rebellion", and it is very likely that these loyal ministers will be driven to a dead end. At that time, although Zhu Yousong will not make any mistakes, there will inevitably be a bloody battle in the capital, causing many unnecessary casualties and sacrifices. The turmoil in the capital must weaken his strength.

Zhu Yousong felt scared after thinking about it. It seems that in the future, he must be calm and calm, think twice before acting, and he must not be careless or rash. Play by the rules of the king.Otherwise, a single mistake of one's own mind may bring endless disasters and irreparable losses to the army and the people.

This incident made Zhu Yousong grow up a lot. Of course, the courtiers didn't know his heart. When they were puzzled, they just wondered and complained. All of them raised their thumbs up and praised Zhu Yousong as a god-like dragon.

Time was short, Zu Hai took Li Quan to meet Zhu Yousong, and both of them knelt down on the ground.Zhu Yousong reprimanded Zu Hai face to face and comforted Li Quan. Li Quan and his wife were grateful for the emperor's grace, and Zu Hai was convinced and apologized to Li Quan face to face.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Cai all knelt outside the palace and begged for crimes...
