Chapter 307

Zhao Ming ordered the army to camp outside the city and entered the city with Zheng Chenggong to pay tribute to He Wencheng.

The Longwu court issued an order to posthumously grant He Wen the title of Shaoqing of Taipu Temple and the posthumous title of Wen Lie.

Zhao Ming was also feeling sad when he stood in the mourning hall. He knew that He Wencheng would be in danger during this trip, but he didn't want to leave forever.

At this time, an eunuch came and whispered to Zheng Chenggong.

"Bo'an, Your Majesty summoned me!" Zheng Chenggong walked forward and said to Zhao Ming, who had a gloomy face.

Zhao Ming calmed down when he heard the words and left the mourning hall. An internal official bowed and asked, "Pinglu Marquis, please!"

"I'm working hard!" Zhao Ming said casually and followed the inner officials to the palace.

Emperor Longwu's palace was the county yard of Ruijin, which was very simple. The queen, prince and many relatives who followed him to escape were all crowded in the small county yard.

Zhao Ming entered the lobby and Zhu Youjian, who was standing high above the imperial throne, immediately stood up. He walked around the table and greeted him in person.

Zhao Ming hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down first, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I'm late to save you!"

Zhu Youjian helped Zhao Ming up with a hand, and tears came down, and he said emotionally: "If your family had not come, I would have been trapped by the Tartars. Your family is really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, a pillar of the country, and my Han Yue!"

When he was in Nanjing, Zhu Youjian intended to regain Zhao Ming, but he didn't want the world to be lucky. After Zhao Ming turned around, he became the strong general of Zhejiang and Zhu Yihai's right-hand man.

Even so, Zhu Youjian would not miss the opportunity to win over Zhao Ming. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that he could gain Zhao Ming's allegiance.

Zhao Ming hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is in danger, why don't your ministers come to you for the death?"

"Your family is stable!" Zhu Youjian first dragged Zhao Ming up, then took Zhao Ming's hand and took him to sit down. After sitting back, Zhu Youjian sighed: "I have tried my best to save my savior. Your family has saved me from danger several times. This time I will turn the tide, and I will definitely reward you well."

Zhao Ming stood up and saluted, "I thanked Your Majesty. But I dare not live alone in the rescue. It is the result of His Highness the Crown Prince and his colleagues' joint efforts."

When Zhu Youjian heard Zhao Ming say this, his face was a little unnatural. Then he exchanged a few more greetings to Zhao Ming, asked some questions, and asked Zhao Ming to go down and rest.

At noon the next day, Zhu Yihai, Zheng Hongkui and others led tens of thousands of elite Ming troops to Ruijin and set up a company camp outside the city.

Two days later, Gan Governor had 10,000 yuan, and led tens of thousands of troops from Ganzhou to the west of Ruijin.

For a time, the small Ruijin City gathered heavily and gathered more than 100,000 troops.

There were so many troops, which could have done a big thing, but the main force of the Qing army in Jiangxi retreated to Ji'an Prefecture, and He Luohui and Gong Adei's tens of thousands of Qing troops also retreated to Fuzhou in Jiangxi. The Qing army was still strong. After the Qing army retreated north, it approached the grain-producing land around Poyang Lake to facilitate supply, but the Ming army was inconvenient to supply and lacked food, so it was impossible to fight again.

At this time, as the troops gathered, the Ming army had difficulty replenishing supplies, so we had to make a decision.

In the Zhejiang Army camp outside the city, in Zhu Yihai's large tent, a group of Zhejiang soldiers gathered.

Zhu Yihai stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, facing away from the generals. The Zhejiang-type civil and military officials behind him were waiting for Zhu Yihai to think about it.

Qian Sule, the Grand Secretary, had a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Seeing Zhu Yihai hesitating, he couldn't help but go out and bow, "Your Highness, now the Ming Dynasty is in great power, and he is powerful in his throne. There are many ambitious people. In the past, Duke Wen of Jin accepted King Xiang, and the princes were convinced. Emperor Gaozu of Han made funerals for Emperor Yi, and the world was returned to his heart. Today, his son had no place to return, and your highness was the national crown prince. He should welcome the emperor to Zhejiang and take the emperor to command the world. If he didn't plan early, he would be the first, so that the Ming Dynasty would repeat the mistakes in Fujian, and it would be too late to regret it!"

After this Ming crisis, the political structure within the Ming Dynasty changed.

During this crisis, the Zhejiang-type forces turned the tide and their prestige increased greatly, and their strength also increased. They not only controlled western Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang, but also recruited tens of thousands of Zheng troops, controlled most of Fujian, and became one of the best in the Ming Dynasty.

The Zheng family suffered a heavy blow in this crisis, and there was also a division within the family, and their strength was greatly lost. They changed from the controller of the Ming Dynasty to a chess piece and lost their qualifications to play chess.

Emperor Longwu successfully broke away from the control of the Zheng family. The team had not yet been established. It was the time to be weak. It would not be impossible for Zhu Yihai to make up his mind to take Emperor Longwu to Zhejiang.

However, Zhu Yihai was a little worried about this. Emperor Longwu was not a good person and would not be so easy to control. At that time, he would definitely face a conflict with Emperor Longwu.

This requires him to act like Zheng Zhilong, like Cao Cao, to attack some loyal ministers and righteous men, and Zhu Yihai feels that he may not be able to do such a thing. In addition, Gan Governor Wan Ji, Chu Governor He Tengjiao, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Hongkui all support the Tang sect, and they may not be willing to see Zhejiang Governor control Longwu.

Guangdong Governor Ding Kuichu and Guangxi Governor Qu Shixi are very close to King Gui, and they may also cause trouble at that time.

But then again, it is not without benefits to welcome Longwu into Zhejiang. The Zhejiang faction was able to control the Longwu court and thus command the local government to become the leader of the anti-Qing Dynasty. Zhu Yihai's succession to the throne was also for sure.

Zhu Yihai listened to Qian Sule's words, pondered for a while, turned around, glanced at the generals and said, "What do you think!"

Wu Zhaosheng immediately said: "Your Highness, God has given you a good opportunity. I agree with the opinions of Qiangemen."

Most of the other generals also agreed and agreed to welcome Longwu into Zhejiang.

Zhao Ming frowned, but was a little distracted. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was now like the Beiyang government, and the battle between Zhi, Anhui and Fengtian was endless.

In Zhao Ming's view, Longwu's move to Huguang and coordinate Chu and Gan would undoubtedly better integrate the southwest anti-Qing forces. However, in this way, the dispute between Tang and Lu will surely start again in the future, and it will inevitably be unfavorable to the Zhejiang regime at that time. It would be better to use the emperor to command the princes now. However, in this way, Zhu Yihai may not be able to command the land of Chu and Gan, and Chu and Gan will inevitably be alienated from Zhejiang and cannot resist the Qing Dynasty with all their strength.

"Boan! What do you think?" Zhu Yihai suddenly asked.

Zhao Ming came to his senses. When he saw Zhu Yihai's expression, he knew that Zhu Yihai was moved. Who would not want to control supreme power? He could only say: "I have no objection!"

When Zhu Yihai heard the words, he exhaled and suddenly fisted and said, "Since that's the case, then the Lonely King will report today, please let Your Majesty move to Zhejiang."

When the generals in the tent heard the words, they praised His Highness for his wiseness and were filled with joy.

At this moment, a general picked up the tent and whispered to Zhao Ming. After hearing this, Zhao Ming's expression changed, and stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Chu Governor He Tengjiao is leading his troops."

Zhu Yihai and everyone heard the words and immediately became quiet. Zhu Yihai said with a calm face: "He Tengjiao is here too?"
