Chapter 725
At Hukou, Jiangxi, Jiangbei soldiers gathered in a large number of ships and military tents were everywhere.
After Zhu Yihai rose up, the Jiangbei army, which had been through war for a long time, was invincible all the way and defeated the Longwu army.
However, as the front line was lengthened and the soldiers were exhausted, the Jiangbei army was blocked by Jin Shenghuan after they entered Jiangxi.
With this block, Zhu Youjian had a chance to take a breather. He immediately took Wuchang as his predecessor and sent an edict to various provinces to raise troops to defend the king and quell the rebellion.
At the end of April, the Jiangbei Army fought several battles with the Gan Army, but did not get any advantage. As the Ming army in Huguang arrived in Jiujiang, the Jiangbei Army's plan to quickly destroy the Longwu Dynasty was basically declared to be unsuccessful.
At this time, Zhu Yihai, wearing a dragon robe in Huzhou City, looked a little annoyed.
The King of Ming Dynasty has always been strong throughout the ages.
To be far away, when Chengzu was in Jingzhao, Emperor Jianwen burned him to Nanjing, and did not tell the truth or falsehood, and it has not appeared since then.
Besides, when the Tumu Fort Incident was in the hands of the Oirat, Emperor Daizong was very tough, and when Emperor Daizong faced the city, he also stood firm in the capital.
In the end, although Emperor Chongzhen did many things wrong, he died in the end.
Then, since Chongzhen, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have used up all their backbone by the late emperors.
The Qing army went south, and Emperor Hongguang fled in panic and was finally captured by the Qing army. Not only did he die in a frustration, but he also lost the face of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yihai originally thought that Zhu Youjian regarded himself as the leader of Zhongxing, had some backbone and would stick to Nanjing City, but he didn't expect that he would compare himself to Emperor Gaozong of Song, and he was really like Emperor Gaozong of Song. If the situation was wrong, he slipped away directly.
If Zhu Youjian stayed in Nanjing, the war had now ended, and Zhu Yihai had ascended the throne in Nanjing like Chengzu, ascending the throne. However, now that Zhu Youjian fled to Wuchang, Zhu Yihai's plan failed.
At this time, Zhu Yihai stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, with Li Chengdong, Wu Zhaosheng, Zhang Huangyan, Xia Wanchun and others standing behind him, discussing the current situation.
At this time, Zhu Yihai breathed out and said to everyone, "Now the Tang Dynasty's vassals support Chu, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, and their troops are less than 500,000, so it is difficult for me to win quickly."
As he said that, Zhu Yihai turned around, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "Now the situation is stalemate, I will surely decline. You and others can have a solution!"
After the Jiangbei Army reached Hukou, the front line was too long and the supply was inconvenient. Second, after occupying Nanjing, Anqing, Wuhu and other places, the troops were dispersed and there were not enough people. Third, the existing equipment, especially the flowering bullets purchased from the Wuyue Army, were consumed too quickly.
These reasons made the attacks of the Jiangbei Army begin to be weak and the subsequent lack of follow-up.
Zhu Yihai has experienced a long battle formation and is very clear about his situation. The overall power of the Jiangbei Army is weaker than that of the Longwu court. If he cannot knock down Longwu Chao with one punch, he should be beaten below.
On both sides of the lobby, the civil and military officials were discussing for a while. Li Chengdong first came out to report: "Your Highness, although the number of soldiers in the Tang vassal state is large, I think it's just a matter of fighting power! I am short of troops. If there are more than 10,000 elite troops, I will get a batch of firearms from the Wuyue vassal state to defeat Jin Shenghuan Yier!"
Zhu Yihai naturally knew that the Jiangbei Army could fight Billy Wu's army, but the key point was that he had already formed a fist with five fingers and had no elite troops to enter the battlefield.
Zhang Huangyan gave a speech: "Your Highness, I look at the rise of saints of all generations, the time of heaven and human affairs, both! Now, from the perspective of heaven and heaven, the world is in chaos and disasters arise; from the perspective of human affairs, the Tang vassal has become an important part of the throne for twelve years, and the world has fallen apart, and the situation has not improved. Moreover, the people used by the Tang vassal are all mediocre and have no talent, and are determined to fight for power. From this, the Tang vassal is not a saint, nor is it the true master of his life! Therefore, the Tang vassal once had His Highness and Wu Yue vassal assisted him, but it was still difficult to be at peace in the world!"
Zhu Yihai listened to Zhang Huang's words, which meant that Zhu Youjian was not the true emperor, so he had been the emperor for twelve years, and with the assistance of capable people like Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming, it was still difficult to achieve great things.
First, let’s explain that destiny is not on Zhu Youjian’s side, so that Zhu Yihai can rest assured.
Zhang Huangyan paused and continued, "Your Highness has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and the people in the world are impressed by it. Your Highness is in a state of military and political integrity, and rewards and punishments from Ming letters, and the people all admire it. Now Your Highness is fighting with the Tang vassals, but the people do not help each other, which is because they are nameless! If you are famous, the hero will follow you, and the people will obey you, and you will be willing to serve the emperor with one million calls. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, to rectify your reputation, so that the people will return to your heart, and to establish the cause of Taizu!"
Zhu Yihai was excited, and Zhang Huangyan asked him to proclaim himself emperor and compete with Zhu Youjian.
Now Zhu Youjian is the emperor, and he only leads the ruling state himself, lowering Zhu Youjian's one end. His will and Zhu Youjian's will go to the local area at the same time, and the local area will definitely choose to listen to the emperor's will.
However, since Wang Mang started with scripts, he had to give in three words and three words to accept them reluctantly.
Zhu Yihai said: "I raised an army alone, but Tang Fan appointed He Tengjiao and other treacherous ministers to eliminate traitors for the court, but there was no such intention!"
They didn't call Zhu Youjian the emperor, but called Tang Fan, so they didn't regard Zhu Youjian as the emperor at all.
Xia Wanchun couldn't help seeing Zhu Yihai as hypocritical.
Nowadays, if the situation does not rise quickly and win local support, the Jiangbei Army will not have a chance of winning.
As soon as Zhu Yihai finished speaking, Xia Wanchun came out to report: "Your Highness, the people suffer from the atrocities of the Tartars, and think about the revival of the Ming Dynasty. The Tang vassal ascended the throne, valued the traitor, causing the people to suffer from exploitation and division. Now Your Highness is to succeed to the throne, one is to serve the people in the world, to follow the people, and the other is to follow the people. The soldiers of Jiangbei, many gentlemen, shed their blood, donated money and food, and brought relatives and friends to follow His Highness, what are they doing? Apart from the great righteousness, they naturally hope to climb the dragon scales and attach phoenix wings, and be all kings and princes when they succeed. Now Your Highness is not upright, and he is afraid that the people who follow him will be disappointed, so there will be other plans. When the public disperses, it will be too late for Your Highness to regret it!"
Xia Wanchun's words can be said, and they all felt the hearts of everyone.
Generals such as Li Chengdong, Wu Zhaosheng and others all showed excitement on their faces.
The big guys, holding their heads on their belts, and following Zhu Yihai to rebel, the world was righteous and the people in the dawn were all distracted.
Now it is not a fight against the Qing Dynasty, but a dispute between the Zhu family. Everyone is just trying to do that. Zhu Yihai can ascend the throne to the emperor, gain the merit of following the dragon, and be able to be granted the title of king and marquis.
Zhu Yihai wanted to refuse, but after hearing Xia Wanchun's words, he couldn't help but say, "I will think of him!"
"Your Highness, Tang Fan will be defeated! The great affairs of the world lies in Your Highness, and you should follow the opinions of the public!" Zhang Huangyan immediately bowed and kowtowed.
Seeing this, everyone in the lobby immediately bowed down, "Your Highness, please follow the public opinion!"
Zhu Yihai's chest was fluttering, and his face gradually flushed. At this moment, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Okay! I followed the will of all the ministers, and I was the master of the throne, and I was promoted to the reign of the emperor!" Zhu Yihai raised his arm and fist, and was full of energy.
Chapter completed!
