Money, especially silver hard currency like this, suddenly pours into the market, which is a huge harm to the economy, not a relief.

Wu Zheng understood this simple truth when there is too much money on the market.

But the problem is that in later generations, you obviously cannot achieve this in this era. You have worked hard to spend a lot of money and years to build, and an unexpected war will bring everything back to its original form.

Even if you can't beat it and need to transfer, will you leave these achievements to the Tartars or will you strengthen your walls and clear the fields and completely destroy them?

Therefore, after several days of consideration, Wu Zheng decided how to use this fortune.

He used half of the money to form a brand new navy, but Wu Zheng could not connect with the navy and could only rely on Wang Zhiren.

Therefore, putting the navy under Wang Zhiren became an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

Wu Zheng also thought about controlling this navy team himself, but after thinking about it over and over again, Wu Zheng felt that it was unrealistic.

Even if he sent out middle and upper-level officers to control the navy, he would not be able to influence Wang Zhiren's subsequent changes to the navy officer level.

On the contrary, this caused a disagreement between himself and Wang Zhiren, which was not worth the loss.

It’s better to be generous and “send” this navy to Wang Zhiren directly, so that you can get Wang Zhiren’s gratitude and owe you a favor.

Moreover, it is easier to control from the upper level. After all, these eight million need to be taken out one by one.

Also, with the strength of Wang Zhiren and several counties in Dinghai, there is no problem in supporting the current Dinghai Navy, but suddenly, it is necessary to support another new army that is larger than the original navy. This pressure is enough to drag down Wang Zhiren.

In other words, as long as the court is still under its own influence, Wang Zhiren has to rely on himself for the supply of the new army.

Therefore, Wu Zheng had the plan to put the navy under Wang Zhiren's command, and judging from the results of the negotiation between the two, the effect was good.

Wang Zhiren was obviously a smart person and understood what Wu Zheng meant.

In fact, when Wang Zhiren's current identity is, many things need not be explained too thoroughly.

Even fools can understand that eight million taels are not eight taels. Isn’t this a matter of giving away people just by giving them away?

Half of them are still used in military affairs. Now, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou and even Yingtian Prefecture are thousands of miles away, and the soldiers needed are no longer the only 40,000 or 50,000 left by Wu Zheng.

It is urgent to recruit new recruits and form a new army.

This is also the main reason why Wu Zheng agreed to temporarily negotiate a ceasefire with the Qing court. The Qing court wanted to rest, and Wu Zheng was even more urgent.

Wang Zhiren is right. He can't chew too much, and he can't make a lot of money. He makes progress too fast and his foundation is not solid. Once there is a change, it will be a chain reaction.

Even Wu Zheng, the first person who started the work of Yong, was a little stunned by his decision.

But Wu Zheng knew that in this world, only military can protect the people and things he wanted to protect.

Used for military affairs is truly used for people's livelihood, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

On the first day of May of the first year of the Changping Jianguo (1646), Shaoxing Prefecture and the Qing court held the first round of armistice negotiations.

It is strange that the two sides have been in a standstill for seven or eight days, and the focus negotiations have been held in Longtan between Zhenjiang and Yingtian Prefecture.

However, the expansion and mobilization of the military on both sides of the north and south of the Yangtze River are still underway.

There is no intention of relaxation at all.

In fact, this is not surprising. Although the Qing court suffered a defeat on the front line of Hangzhou, they made great progress in the northwest and southeast.

The Qing army under Meng Qiaofang's troops had occupied most of Shaanxi.

Wu Sangui and others have occupied Hanzhong.

King Zhishun Shangkexi's army was unstoppable from Yuezhou, Changsha, Xiangtan and Hengzhou.

King Kong Youde, and Luke Dehun also successfully conquered Taizhou and Wenzhou, and was advancing towards Fujian.

In other words, except for the area from Yingtian Prefecture to Hangzhou, the Qing army occupied almost half of the southern part.

Although the area from Yingtian Prefecture to Hangzhou is not small, it is only a small part of it in the entire Chinese land.

It is conceivable that how could the Qing court give up?

Therefore, the armistice is just to break out of a bigger and more fierce war.

At this time, the situation in the Longwu Dynasty was already in danger.

Here I have to talk about Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian was the ninth generation grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and was awarded the title of King of Tang.

Zhu Youjian's life experience is relatively bumpy. Compared with other royal families, he has experienced it from the bitter cold.

Zhu Youjian's grandfather, the old Tang King Zhu Shuo-chung, was obsessed with the concubine, and always loved the son born by the concubine in his heart, and hated Zhu Youjian's father, the prince's son Zhu Qiying.

So he secretly imprisoned Zhu Youjian and his son in the Chengfeng Department, trying to starve them to death. Zhu Youjian was only twelve years old at that time.

Fortunately, a young official Zhang Shutang helped him secretly send some brown rice to spend the day.

In this way, Zhu Youjian and his son lived in the prison for sixteen years.

When he was in a cage, Zhu Youjian studied hard and studied Confucian classics without wasting time.

Later, Zhu Youjian's father was dying when he was sick. When he was about to survive, he was poisoned to death by his younger brother who was eager to assault the throne of King Tang in the second year of Chongzhen.

The old King Tang was about to grant his concubine's son the crown prince, and wanted to abolish Zhu Youjian's position as crown prince.

As a result, when local official Chen Qiyu mourned Prince Tang, he secretly warned the old King Tang that the cause of his death was unknown and he rashly changed the hereditary candidate, and the court might blame him in the future.

The old King Tang was afraid of Mingfa’s investigation, so he quickly appointed Zhu Youjian as his "father-grandson".

The old King of Tang also died in the same age, and then Zhu Youjian succeeded to the position of King of Tang.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian, who had this experience, was a world of difference from those royal children who were pampered and lived in poverty.

He is educated, knows shame, and has ambition.

Unfortunately, in a chaotic world, although he was determined to kill the thief, he was unable to turn the world back.

At the beginning of last year, the Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed. King Zhu Changxi of Lu surrendered to Hangzhou City, governor Zhang Kentang of the Ming Dynasty, Minister of Rites Huang Daozhou, Nan'an Bo Zheng Zhilong, Jinglu Bo Zheng Hongkui, etc., and was appointed as the governor of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, and then ascended the throne and emperor.

But by looking at this list of support, you can tell that the real power holder of the Longwu Dynasty was not Zhu Youjian, but Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui.

Only when there is an army in troubled times can you have power, and the same is true for the emperor.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhu Youjian is determined to restore the country, regain his territory, or whether he has the spirit of a revival, he cannot escape the control of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui on the government.

When Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he also made great achievements. He established his main business of "expelling the enemy". Ten days after he ascended the throne, he killed Ma Dechang, an envoy sent by the Qing court to recruit surrender, and ordered civil and military officials to swear to fight the Qing Dynasty to the death. He also decided to command the six divisions and prepare to take the imperial command in person.
