Chapter 703 The change of moving the capital

After Ma Shiying said this, there was a sudden uproar in the court, and the court officials who were whispering and talking suddenly buzzed like flies.

"Stop quarrel! Shut up!" Zhu Yousong looked irritated, and he shouted angrily, making the court like the entire vegetable market quiet.

"Ma Yaocao, your plan is very interesting. Let me tell you in detail." Zhu Yousong opened his mouth wide and showed Ma Shiying an encouraging smile.

Ma Shiying nodded and said to Zhu Yousong: "Registration, now, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is the Qing Kingdom of Tartars in Liaodong, the Dashun Kingdom of the North, and the Daxi Kingdom of Zhang Xianzhong's Dashun Kingdom in the west. These three countries are the original enemies and rebels of the Ming Dynasty, but now, we must formally express our views to them that we can not investigate everything in the past and formally recognize their territory and status."

Seeing Zhu Yousong's face suddenly changed, Ma Shiying said hurriedly before he could speak: "I believe that now we will send envoys to Shenyang, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the capital of Li Zicheng, and the capital of Beijing, and the capital of Zhang Xianzhong, and told them that now, I, the Ming Dynasty, are willing to give up past grudges with him, and no longer pursue their previous festivals and crimes. They occupy the land of our Ming Dynasty, and no longer seek back, but can officially recognize it as their respective territory of the three countries. Then, our dynasty is willing to use this as a prerequisite and then sign a treaty of alliances and mutual assistance with them."

Ma Shiying paused and said anxiously: "Our dynasty made such a great sacrifice, and he would not hesitate to put down his face and dignity to reach an alliance agreement with them. He only asked one thing to ask them to send troops immediately and attack the arrogant Li Xiao. We can also promise them that if they can do their best to attack Li Xiao and force him to retreat from the Jiangnan area to return to Shandong, then our dynasty will give them rich gifts to them to further improve the friendship of alliances and strengthen the foundation of diplomatic relations."

After Ma Shiying finished speaking his plan, he looked at Zhu Yousong on the dragon throne with a burning look, but saw Zhu Yousong's face was ruthless, he kept lowering his head slightly, and his right hand kept twisting his beard.

At this time, Ruan Dacheng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but calm down. He asked Ma Shiying in a tone of responsibility: "Ma Ge Lao, although you say this, although you are suspected of treason for treason, now the enemy is in front of you, and you won't care much about it. However, I would like to ask you, why do you think that if we make such concessions, the Tartars and the bandits will definitely send troops to help us. This is too wishful thinking, right?"

"The right assistant minister asked well why our cabinet decided that they would send troops. The reason is very simple, because saving us is actually saving themselves." Ma Shiying said with a bright look.

"Oh, what does Master Ge mean? Maybe he said in detail?" Ruan Dacheng asked with wide eyes.

"The meaning of this cabinet is very simple, because for them, the biggest threat is the arrogant and domineering Li Xiao. As long as Li Xiao's Tang army is still as strong as the sun and continues to grow, then for these three countries, it is also a big trouble for them, and it is also a sharp sword hanging above their heads, which makes them unable to rest for a moment. It is precisely because of this common powerful enemy that the four countries can unite and form mutual assistance and alliance." Ma Shiying said with a serious face.

"Besides, for them, if they sit down and watch our dynasty fall, then Li Xiao's power will only further expand and grow, even to the point where no one can control it. This is extremely terrible bad news for the other three countries. It is said that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. Even if they only consider their own safety, they will know that in such a crisis, sending troops to attack Li Xiao is not only to relieve the pressure on our dynasty, but also to gain more and longer survival for themselves."

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, there was silence in the court.

In the eyes of court officials, although Ma Shiying's words were very rebellious, the content of the words was very sensitive. However, they knew in their hearts that Ma Shiying's words still had some truth. However, such words were extremely unsuitable for their own statements.

Because, in this way, the lost land in Ming territory was generously given to those Tartars and bandits, who knows that the political atmosphere will be turbulent in the future and the ups and downs of this political atmosphere will be severely held accountable for today's statement? Therefore, for the sake of self-protection, every courtier pretended to be profound and silent with deep thoughts on his face.

Seeing that the court was quiet for a while, all the ministers were silent. Of course, he knew what the court officials were thinking in their hearts, and he couldn't help but sneer.

I will die, and I will be an official. Nothing can be more important than my political future. Since Ma Shiying is willing to be this pioneer and this advanced rafter, let him be the right person. Anyway, I just need to choose a clean place to stand up and not go to this muddy water.

This is the most true attitude and opinion of the court officials.

Thinking of his hard work and trying so hard to reverse the unfavorable situation, while the ministers in the court were so indifferent and self-protection had nothing to do with it. Ma Shiying felt very cold inside. He sighed softly and threw his eyes like asking for help on Zhu Yousong who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Now, Ma Shiying has placed all his hopes on Zhu Yousong.

Because he knew that court officials could stay out of the matter, but as the head of the government, Hongguang, the state superintendent, could never ignore the matter.

To put it more bluntly, that is, all the ministers in the court can bow down to Li Xiao or escape in scattered ways. Only the governor Zhu Yousong, but he cannot surrender or escape. He is a person who Li Xiao must not let go easily. Therefore, he must make a decision immediately on the issue of life and death of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Sure enough, Zhu Yousong was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said softly to Ma Shiying: "Oh, the current situation has come to this point, and we can only make a stopgap plan. After all, survival and death are the things that the Imperial State needs to do the most. The ancestors and the clans are above, and I hope that you can understand the spirits of our supervisors' unscrupulous state's unscrupulous state's unscrupulous state's unscrupulous state's unscrupulous state."

Zhu Yousong calmed his expression and shouted to Ma Shiying: "Ma Ge Lao, you are fully responsible for the alliance with other three countries to fight against Li Xiao. The envoys you sent can all be the plenipotent representatives of the court. As long as you can reach an alliance agreement with them and let these three countries immediately send troops to share our worries, then Li Xiao's troops will retreat in the future, as you said, I will never be stingy with them to reward them."

Zhu Yousong's eyes shined and he walked quickly towards Zheng Hongkui with great joy. At this moment, he was so excited, his fat face was shiny, and he kept rubbing his hands. If he was not wearing a dragon robe now, his conversation or temperament would be similar to an ordinary landlord's wealth.

Seeing this fat Hongguang Resident State as a pig, he was vulgar and had a vulgar temperament and absurd speech, he was so out of control in front of himself. All Zheng Hongkui's beautiful imagination of the emperor was instantly shattered. Instead, he was full of contempt and ridicule.

Such a fear of death and incompetent person can be a state-controlled person. Alas, is this Ming Dynasty really about to be over...

Fortunately, he was well-educated and did not reveal his true mentality. He just smiled faintly and said to Zhu Yousong: "The State of Supervisor is just like this. I will come here on the order of the Marquis of Nan'an to welcome the State of Supervisor into Fujian and move the capital to Fuzhou. From then on, I will have a long-term stability. I also asked the State of Supervisor to clean up immediately and leave quickly with the State of Supervisor."

When Zhu Yousong heard Zheng Hongkui's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Ma Shiying and Liu Kongzhao, who were originally grinning and looking happy, were stunned for a moment.

No, didn’t you agree to Zheng Zhilong to go to Hangzhou? Why are you going to the court to move to Fuzhou now? This, this...

Seeing that the three of them were stunned for a moment, Zheng Hongkui smiled faintly and replied calmly: "The reason why the Marquis of Nan'an sent the last generals to escort the court officials to Fuzhou urgently, rather than the Hangzhou where the State of Jian was going to, was because of the unscrupulous consideration."

"Oh, what's the consideration?" Zhu Yousong replied subconsciously.

"The Marquis of Nan'an told me that Hangzhou is very close to Nanjing, and as a place to move the capital, it is not safe. If the Tang army can take Nanjing, it will inevitably cover its troops eastward and take Hangzhou directly. The main force of Nan'an's troops is in Fujian and Zhejiang, and there are actually not many soldiers available. In this way, Hangzhou will be difficult to save. At that time, will the supervisor want to move the capital for the third time? Isn't this a joke?"

Zheng Hongkui paused and said, "The Lord of Nan'an is very reasonable in this regard. If the supervisor can leave this urgently from Nanjing, go straight to the southeast and move the capital to Fuzhou, then the Marquis of Nan'an has heavy troops to protect the emperor. However, only Xianxia Pass enters from Zhejiang to Fujian. Our army's troops only need to guard this place to block the Tang army's entry into Fujian, thus providing sufficient rest and rest for the court. At that time, when the time is right, when the Tang army's logistics will not be exhausted, the veterans will be exhausted, and then the Marquis of Nan'an will launch troops and recapture Jiangnan. It will be very possible.

After Zheng Hongkui said that, he looked around the three of them with a smile, looking calm and composed.

However, after he finished speaking, Zhu Yousong, Ma Shiying, Liu Kongzhao and the other three were still gloomy.

Humph, I’m talking about so many high-sounding reasons, but Zheng Zhilong’s most value is just one.

That is, if Zhu Yousong, the governor of Hongguang, moved the capital to Fuzhou, he would completely become a puppet under Zheng Zhilong, who could be manipulated at will, and completely played with him in his palm without any worries.

This way of getting a puppet emperor for nothing is really a good thing for Zheng Zhilong to fall from the sky.
