1656 was destined to be a turbulent year.

In the north, the Qing Dynasty was divided, and Ajige and Fulin fought hard.

In the south, Zhu Yihai raised an army to seize the throne, occupied Nanjing, changed his name to Jianwu, and Zhu Youjian fled to Wuchang, continued to order the local government and confronted Zhu Yihai.

The internal struggle of the Zhu family and the co-establishment of the two dragons further weakened the authority of the central government, and the powerful people in various places were full of ambitions and their forces began to expand unprecedentedly.

For example, today there is a great chaos, people are determined to govern, and heroes who are determined to unify the world and pacify the troubled times have appeared one after another.

Hangzhou, in the palace.

In the Political Consultative Hall, civil and military officials from the Han Dynasty gathered together.

When Zhao Ming directly stated that he would not accept the title of King Yi and King Yue, and wanted to be the Queen of Qin, Zhu Yihai stabilized Zhao Ming and avoided fighting on both sides. At the same time, in order to obtain equipment from Zhao Ming, he immediately sent an envoy to grant Zhao Ming the King of Han.

In order to make Zhu Yihai feel at ease, Zhao Ming accepted the title of King of Han in Hangzhou. Wu Yue became the Han State again, and the government agreed to rush to build military flags, official uniforms, and ritual vessels, and there was another busy work.

After accepting the title of King of Han, Zhao Mingming stood in front of Jianwu Dynasty and stood with Jiangbei Army, but did not send a soldier to participate in the war between Jianwu Dynasty and Longwu Dynasty, and continued to make a fortune in silence.

However, although Zhao Ming did not participate in the war, he always paid attention to the development of the general trend of the world.

At this time, a huge map of the world was hung in the Political Consultative Hall.

Zhao Ming was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown. He held the jade belt around his waist with both hands. Facing the map and facing the ministers, he said in a deep voice: "Just like today, there are almost everywhere, and there are always chaos. People with ambition want to calm down the chaotic times and unify the world. I have this ambition, but there are many heroes in the world, and there are many aspirations. I am asking you to discuss matters today, just to let the gentlemen analyze and analyze the heroes from all walks of life, who is the enemy of Gu!"

In the hall, Chen Zilong, Chen Mingyu, Qian Qianyi, Gu Yanwu, Yan Qiheng, Zhang Jiayu, Huang Zongxi and others discussed for a while.

Qian Qianyi came out and said, "Your Highness, the world is vast and has many forces. It is better to eliminate them from north to south."

Zhao Ming turned around and nodded, "It's feasible! Then analyze the north first!"

Zhang Jiayu, a military officer, followed Zhao Ming to fight in the north, and understood the situation in the north, and his main responsibilities are also to pay attention to all forces in the north.

"Your Highness! After the Qing Dynasty split, the northern forces are now mainly Han warlords such as Fulin, Ajige, Mongolian tribes, Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang, and other Han warlords!" Zhang Jiayu said.

The internal strife in the Ming Dynasty in the south caused the decline of the authority of the imperial court, and the Qing Dynasty in the north also faced such problems. The decline of the Qing government caused the rise of internal forces.

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Who among these major forces may become the lonely competitor!"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Highness, the situation in the north is now no less complex than that in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the year, Your Highness robbed Hebei and caused Ajige to suffer heavy losses in money, grain and materials, Ajige was unable to continue to launch the war and could not attack Shanxi for a while, so he gave Fulin the opportunity to stabilize his position."

Zhang Jiayu paused and continued: "According to the detailed news from the Military Information Department, after His Highness withdrew his troops, Fulin wanted to take the opportunity to take back Hebei, and mobilize the Qing army in Shanxi, western Henan, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong to launch a counterattack, but the Mongols, Datong Jiang Xiang, and Wang Yongqiang of Shaanxi were not very obedient. Even Wu Sangui refused to send troops on the grounds of pacifying Bashu. From this, it can be seen that Fulin was already difficult to control his warlords. Moreover, Fulin barely organized a 40,000 army to launch a counterattack, but was defeated by Ajige in Baoding. Judging from his ministers, Fulin had no strength to pacify the world and would sooner or later be destroyed!"

Due to the successive failures of the Qing Dynasty and the internal division, the Manchus' authority was absent, and the Han warlords within the Qing Dynasty quickly rose, even attacking each other, annexing territory, and expanding their power.

Sun Kewang even took the opportunity to persuade Wu Sangui that the Qing Dynasty was in chaos, and our heroes would not be willing to be a cow or a horse, so it would be better to replace them.

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "The Military Information Department has information that after the failure of the counterattack, Fulin wanted to move westward to Guanzhong, change Xi'an to Xijing, and temporarily avoid Ajige's troops. Fulin's son is now in chaos and warlords are separatist. Even Ajige is difficult to quell, and it will be fish!"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Let's talk about Ajige. Although he has 300,000 powerful soldiers in his hand, he has won consecutive victories in the war with Fulin. Although his military is sharp, his internal affairs are messy and he can only suppress the internal affairs by force, at most it is Gongsun Zan!"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "The meaning of your family is that Fulin and Ajige are not something that Gu should pay attention to! There is no real opponent of Gu in the north?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Report to Your Highness, the forces of Fulin and Ajige are both declining, but there are still forces in the north that need your highness to pay attention!"

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he couldn't help but say, "Your family will say it!"

Zhang Jiayu pointed to the map and said, "The ministers of the Mongolian tribes in the north do not know much about them. Now that they have escaped from the control of the Qing Dynasty, a powerful grassland regime may arise. Over the years, most of the threats to the Central Plains have come from this, and Your Highness must be guarded!"

Zhao Ming nodded in contemplation, Zhang Jiayu was inspired and continued, "In addition, the Han warlords in the Qing Dynasty also need to pay attention to it. For example, Jiang Xiang of Datong and Yongqiang of King of Shaanxi, their power is expanding. Although these people must be inferior to His Highness, they may become obstacles to His Highness's great cause of unification. In addition, Wu Sangui, his Highness also needs to be vigilant. Sun Kewang is now under his command, if he occupy Bashu, he may not have the ambition to annex the world!"

Qian Qianyi said: "In the chaotic times, there are many variables. Those who are powerful at the beginning may not be able to unify the world, and those who are weak at the beginning may not be unable to make a great cause. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen She and Wu Guang first advocated great righteousness. Xiang Yu was the strongest among the rebel army, and Liu Bang was the one who won the world. Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty usurped the Han Dynasty, and all the heroes rose together, but the one who suppressed cholera was Guangwu. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, all the heroes competed for the destiny, and heroes emerged together, but the world belonged to the Sima family. Besides, at the beginning of this dynasty, Chen Youliang was powerful and Zhang Shicheng was rich, but the world only gained by Taizu. Therefore, Zhang Shenjun's words were reasonable. Your Highness should be vigilant, respond carefully, and beware of these forces that arose later."

Qian Qianyi talked freely and listed many examples, which made Zhao Ming and the ministers in the palace put away their pride and contempt for the enemy.

Zhao Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "Where is the south?"

Chen Zilong, the judge of the military commander, immediately came out to report: "Your Highness, many forces in the south can judge whether they have the ambition to pacify the world. The two vassals of Tang and Lu, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, and even He Tengjiao have this ambition!"

Since the unification of Qin, the Han regime, no matter how big or small, had the ambition to unify the world.

This is the cultural gene that has been formed over thousands of years and has been engraved into the bones.

Zhao Ming frowned when he heard the words, and Chen Zilong hurriedly continued: "Your Highness, it is the ambition of a gentleman to manage the family and govern the country and pacify the world. The wise ruler should pacify the world, and the heroes should assist the wise ruler to pacify the world. I believe that all forces within the Ming Dynasty have the ambition to pacify the world. However, some forces have ambition and ability, and some only ambitions but not ability."

Zhao Ming pondered: "Your dear continues!"
