Last year, Zhao Ming first entered Lianghuai and then went to Shandong. His troops occupied Dagukou and turned to Liaodong.

After a set of actions, the Qing Dynasty was so shocked that it was dizzy and exhausted.

Under Zhao Ming's harassment, the original deployment of the Qing Dynasty was disrupted, and the Ming army in Huguang took advantage of the opportunity to collect Yuezhou.

The situation in the Ming and Qing dynasties seemed to have entered a stalemate stage from the momentum of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Ming judged that the Ming army in Huguang and Guang stabilized its position in the west, and Zhu Yihai's troops in the east threatened Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Ming Dynasty had already emerged from the precarious situation and was temporarily out of the danger of being destroyed by a war.

After Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan, in order to prevent Zhao Ming, the Qing army implemented a sea ban from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Liaodong, and migrated to the people of hundreds of miles along the coast to create an unmanned land, which isolated Zhao Ming from the mainland, making it difficult for Zhao Ming to harass the Qing Dynasty again.

At the beginning of the year, after Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan, due to the Qing Dynasty blockade of Zhao Ming, the Ming army in the East China Sea was scarce, so Zhao Ming's attention was transferred to Taiwan, preparing to operate Taiwan, develop production, mine minerals, and obtain materials, but his energy was not focused on the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Ming thought that he had been dealing with the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty should have been able to barely support him, but now it seems that he is too optimistic.

After hearing Xia Wanchun's words, Zhao Ming frowned and his face sank, "What's going on?"

At present, the Ming army in the East China Sea had just defeated the Spanish and was preparing to drive the Spanish colonists out of Taiwan completely and then manage Taiwan well, but they did not expect that there was another problem in the Ming Dynasty.

What's this called? Zhao Ming is already a little annoyed.

Xia Wanchun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty and Zheng Zhilong have a falling out!"

Everyone in the world knows the conflict between Emperor Longwu and Zheng Zhilong, but Longwu is in Fujian after all, so the two of them are still harmonious on the surface.

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "What did Your Majesty provoke Zheng Zhilong for this?"

After his strength grew, Zhao Ming's tone became domineering.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has barely gained a foothold, it is unlikely that Zheng Zhilong will surrender. He will drag him first and wait until the Ming army further gains a foothold, and then turn around and solve him.

At this time, civil strife was caused, which gave the Qing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Xia Wanchun hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty and the court cannot be blamed for this matter. It is Zheng Zhilong's selfish thoughts."

Seeing that Zhao Ming couldn't finish talking for a while, he said with a calm face, "Let's talk about it after entering the account!"

The group entered the tent, Zhao Ming sat in the case of Shuai, and the rest sat down on both sides. Xia Wanchun continued: "Your Majesty decided to move to Huguang. In order to appease Zheng Zhilong, he appointed Zheng Zhilong as Duke Anguo. However, Zheng Zhilong privately met with the Qing envoy, worried that after leaving Fujian, he would realize Zhongxing and then turn back to deal with the Zheng family, so he refused to let Your Majesty go out of seclusion, which completely broke the relationship between the two sides. The situation in Fujian is that Zheng Zhilong is afraid that Your Majesty will leave Fujian and liquidate the Zheng family in the future, and wants to invest in the Qing envoy, but Your Majesty knew that Zheng Zhilong secretly met with the Qing envoy and was interested in investing in the Qing, so he naturally did not dare to stay in Fujian."

The chaos inside the Ming Dynasty was simply a mess, with all kinds of restraints, which was really tiring.

Zheng Zhilong, because he was worried that the Zheng family would be cleansed in the future, he wanted to sell Fujian and Longwu to the Qing Dynasty. This was speechless.

With the Zheng family's manpower and material resources, they change their attitude and fully support Longwu. Longwu will inevitably welcome him, so why do they have to die together?

Zhao Ming had a calm face and was angry, "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Zheng Zhilong is a duke and has a prominent reputation. Why do you have to be a traitor who is criticized by thousands of people?"

Xia Wanchun sighed and said, "Zheng Zhilong is a pirate businessman. He values ​​profit over righteousness and is practical. He has no home, country and the world in his heart, and his work is preferred. When he accepted the imperial edicts in the court, he did not do it for serving the country, but wanted to use his official status to carry out maritime trade and make huge profits. Now, the country and the Ming Dynasty are in turmoil. He thought that although the Qing Dynasty was sharp and slightly reduced, the momentum of unification had not changed. For his own interests, he naturally became a hero and turned to the Qing Dynasty."

Xia Wanchun meant that Zheng Zhilong was not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty and felt that the Qing Dynasty would be unified sooner or later, so he was unwilling to fight against the Qing Dynasty with his family and chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty to ensure his own interests.

Zhao Ming sneered: "How can you believe the words of the barbarians? Zheng Zhilong will definitely not have a good ending!"

Xia Wanchun said: "But Zheng Zhilong doesn't think so! Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, in order to attract people's hearts and reduce resistance, he has given great preferential treatment to traitors such as Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and other national traitors. After the Hong traitors entered the pass, they were appointed as the Prince's Prince's Preservant by the Qing Dynasty, the Minister of War and the Right Censor of the Censorate. They entered the inner court to assist in military affairs and were appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat, which is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui was even named King Pingxi and commanded the Guanning Army independently. With Wu and the two thieves Hong as role models, Zheng Zhilong would inevitably not be moved! According to the investigation by the Jinyiwei, the Qing Dynasty promised that Zheng Zhilong would be appointed as king, which was naturally very attractive to Zheng Zhilong."

Zhao Ming's cheeks were stimulating, and he had to admit that the Qing Dynasty was very cunning. When he first entered the pass, he did not gain a foothold, and he did give preferential treatment to a group of traitors, which attracted a large number of people to serve.

But when they gained a firm foothold, they showed a cunning look.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and wanted to implement the hair shaving order, he stopped immediately when he saw the fierce resistance and repeatedly claimed that he would maintain the old system of the previous dynasty and not shave his hair. However, after the Qing army had settled its predecessor, he immediately returned and implemented the hair shaving order, and his cunning nature was undoubtedly revealed.

There are not many breach of trust in the Qing Dynasty now, and the conditions offered are indeed very attractive to Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong did not realize the danger he was facing.

Zhao Ming didn't want to mention this bad guy anymore and asked, "Xiao Yin, you said that something might happen in Fujian. What is the current situation?"

Xia Wanchun said: "Your Majesty is trapped in Tingzhou and cannot leave Fujian. The Qing Dynasty assembles 200,000 troops and lives in southern Gansu and Zhejiang, ready to attack Fujian as time goes by. Your Majesty passes an order from Zhejiang to eastern Zhejiang, asking the Zhejiang Army to organize a large army into Fujian, and organize another Huguang to organize a welcome army, hoping to force Zheng Zhilong to release it."

Zhao Ming stood up and couldn't help pace back and forth in the tent. He walked while pondering. After a while, he suddenly stopped and shook his head and said, "This is difficult to deal with?"

The generals in the tent looked at each other, and Chen Yujie said, "Governor, what should I do? It's so hard to see Zheng Zhilong betray the court?"

Zhao Ming said: "If only Zheng Zhilong, our Zhejiang Group organized troops, and Huguang sent a Welcoming Army, Zheng Zhilong was under pressure and valued immediate benefits, and would definitely choose to let Your Majesty go out of seclusion to resolve this crisis. But now, in addition to Zheng Zhilong, there are 200,000 Qing soldiers eyeing each other. Once the Ming Dynasty has internal conflicts, the Qing army will inevitably attack, and things will be difficult to deal with!"

Xia Wanchun said sadly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince also feels that things are difficult to handle! If we don't send troops, maybe the situation will be stalemate once we send troops into Fujian, if Zheng Zhilong is anxious, he will definitely surrender to the Qing Dynasty. With the support of Zheng Zhilong, the Crown Prince will be powerless to do anything! "
