Chapter 549

The Zhejiang Army recovered Nanjing and achieved great achievements and political reputation.

Zhu Yihai's position as the Ming Dynasty's national reserve is basically a foregone conclusion. Even if Longwu wants to abolish him, the people in the world will not agree, and they will inevitably suffer huge resistance.

It can be said that in the future, as long as Zhu Yihai does not commit any evil and unforgivable crimes, Longwu will not be able to abolish Zhu Yihai, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later that Zhu Yihai will replace the throne.

However, if Zhu Yihai could not wait at this time, even if he recovered Nanjing, he would not be able to gain support from all over the world.

After all, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne for nine years, and his throne had been stable and recognized by the world. He was regarded as the common ruler of the world. Emperor Ming, Zhu Yihai ascended the throne and became emperor while he was still alive, which was equivalent to rebellion.

At this time, the only places controlled by Zhejiang were in eastern Fujian, southern Zhili, and Zhejiang Province. The Longwu court actually controlled Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Huguang, and most of Fujian, and obtained the nominal allegiance to control Yunnan, Guizhou and southern Sichuan. If they really fought, Zhu Yihai might not be the opponent.

Zhang Huangyan's words reminded Zhu Yihai who was a little proud. He was silent for a while and suddenly stood up from the dragon throne.

Zhu Yihai walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, stopped, looked at Zhang Huangyan, and said seriously: "Your family reminded me reasonably! The Lone King has gained the reputation of regaining Nanjing and has achieved the purpose previously set. He should not be eager for quick success."

As he said that, Zhu Yihai paused, "Your family thought that the Lone King should worship Xiaoling first, and then learn from Emperor Gaozu of Han, and withdraw from Nanjing first. Do you want to welcome the emperor to the capital?"

Zhang Huangyan nodded and smiled satisfied, "Your Highness is wise. In addition to this, you need to send troops to cross the river and cooperate with Duke Zhao to recover the land of Huainan. Since ancient times, defending the river must be defending Huainan. Duke Zhao is alone in the north. Your Highness should immediately reinforce and cooperate with Duke Zhao to annihilate the Qing army in Jiangbei."

When Zhu Yihai heard the words, he remembered that Zhao Ming was still restraining Ajige in Jiangbei.

Zhu Yihai's army arrived in Nanjing, and the 100,000 Qing troops from the Jiangnan camp had retreated to Jiangbei, which means that the Qing troops in Jiangbei had increased to 300,000.

When Zhao Ming came to Hangzhou, Zhu Yihai discussed with Zhao Ming. In order to get Zhao Ming to send troops, Zhu Yihai agreed to Zhao Ming's plan to encircle Yangzhou and wipe out the two camps of the Qing army in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but Zhu Yihai did not do what he discussed.

It turned out that Zhao Ming had surrounded the 200,000 Qing troops in Yangzhou, but now it has become the 300,000 Qing troops. In addition, the vanguard of the Longwu court did not follow the agreement and surrounded Ajige from the west. His vanguard Jin Shenghuan also ran to the periphery of Nanjing.

In this way, Zhao Ming and Donghai Town are all in a row, dealing with 300,000 Qing troops, and their situation may not be easy.

When Zhu Yihai heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded immediately, "Your dear reminds you that Bo'an is still fighting alone in Jiangbei."

Just as Zhu Yihai was about to mobilize people and re-deploy according to Zhang Huangyan's suggestion, a burst of rapid footsteps came in outside the hall.

Zhang Mingzhen hurried to the entrance of the hall and asked the guards: "Can your highness be inside?"

Zhu Yihai's personal guard commander Lu Shikui immediately saluted: "Report to Zhang Duzhen, Your Highness and Zhang Tanzheng are all inside."

Zhang Mingzhen immediately stepped into the hall. Zhu Yihai and Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but stop talking and turned their faces.

"Your Highness!" Zhang Mingzhen shouted quickly, and the wind came over his feet.

Zhang Mingzhen is a steady person. Zhu Yihai couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this and asked, "What's wrong with your family?"

"Your Highness, the imperial army has entered the Great Sheng Pass, and the emperor is about to enter the city of Nanjing!" Zhang Mingzhen said anxiously.

Zhu Yihai was shocked when he heard the words, "Where will your Majesty arrive in Nanjing so soon?"

Zhang Mingzhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty took a boat down and just arrived at Dasheng Closed. Yifeng Gate, the guard of Dinghuai Gate asked if His Majesty wanted to enter the city, would he let it go?"

Jin Shenghuan was about to enter Nanjing, but was blocked by the Ming army in the Zhejiang Province. However, Longwu was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In theory, all the troops of the Ming Dynasty would be dispatched by him. If Longwu wanted to enter the city, the guards of each gate would not know what to do, so Zhang Mingzhen hurried to ask.

Zhu Yihai hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty has arrived in person, how many soldiers and horses are there in the court?"

Zhang Mingzhen said in a deep voice: "At present, there are only 30,000 Jin Shenghuan's people, and 10,000 Huguang Navy. However, according to the news released there, the imperial court almost came out this time, and the 200,000 troops in Wuchang have set out to go east."

Zhu Yihai exclaimed, "So many people?"

Zhang Mingzhen spoke and said, "There shouldn't be fake!"

Zhu Yihai pondered for a while and asked, "Can you block it and let the Lone King worship Xiaoling first?"

I heard that Zhu Youjian led more than 200,000 troops and headed east along the river. Zhu Yihai felt a little regretful. He was addicted to the joy of regaining Nanjing these days and did not worship Xiaoling earlier.

Zhang Mingzhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this. It was easy to block Jin Shenghuan and he didn't have to give him face. But Zhu Youjian was the emperor after all, so what excuse should he use to block it?

Zhang Huangyan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's too late. Since the emperor has reached the Great Victory Pass, it's better to send someone to greet him immediately and invite the emperor to worship Xiaoling Mausoleum."

Zhu Yihai was calm when he heard the words, obviously not willing to do so. At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps outside the hall came again.

Soon, Li Yuanyin walked into the hall quickly, strode to Zhu Yihai, and saluted on one knee, "Your Highness, I have an emergency military report!"

Zhu Yihai couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Zhang Mingzhen was stationed in the west of Fangcheng City and Li Yuanyin's troops were stationed in the east of Fangcheng City. What emergency military information could he report?

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yihai asked withdrew his thoughts.

Li Yuanyin looked anxious, "Report to Your Highness, General Wang Yi of Donghai Town, sent people from Jiangbei to report that Duke Zhao was ambushed by Ajige. Now he is not sure about his life and death. Please send troops to cross the river immediately and reinforce Donghai Town."

Zhu Yihai was shocked when he heard the words, and his tone could not hide his panic, "What? Was Bo'an ambushed by Ajige?"
