Chapter 132: Control the Heaven and Earth Society
Liu Guoxuan stabilized the Dongyang Naval Camp and immediately let several Jinyiwei who accompanied him enter the city overnight to report. In the imperial city, Zhu Jun still did not sleep until midnight. The Ming army in the city was ready. If Liu Guoxuan failed to recruit the pacification, 30,000 Ming troops would all be killed and brought the Jinxia Navy to the pot.
Zhu Jun was already overjoyed when he received the news of Liu Guoxuan's safety. With the Jinxia Navy, the entire Ming Navy had two battalions, one was Liu Er's original Nanyang Navy Camp and the other was the newly recruited Dongyang Navy Camp, with a total of 20,000 people. Originally, the new recruits who were transferred to the Navy Camp did not have to go any further, and they could all go to the Land Battle Camp. In this way, the total of 20,000 troops in the land battle camp was 20,000, and the 40,000 troops were at their fingertips. As long as there was a little training and then we pulled out to fight a few fierce battles, we would be soldiers of a hundred battles. At that time, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will be the backbone.
Zhu Jun calmed down and turned his attention to the city. The Zheng group was not only a powerful navy, but also a mixed relationship in the Nanyang. Almost every Nanyang city has its own branch. Although the Jinyiwei, the imperial court, recently sent some horses and secret stakes in the ruling areas and the fallen areas of the Qing Dynasty, its influence in the Nanyang was minimal. Therefore, grasping the Tiandihui was even more important for Zhu Jun than the Jinxia Navy.
At the Haidu Nancheng Inn, Chen Yonghua turned off the lights in the wing room, and his thin figure sat quietly on the windowsill without moving. He was thinking that as soon as the fleet landed, countless people's cheers came from the coast, firecrackers, salutes, and gongs and drums. This warm welcome paralyzed King Yanping and himself.
Therefore, according to the regulations, King Yanping led the generals and schoolmen to take the lead. All the officials of the court along the coast came forward to greet him. On the surface, they were polite, but in fact, before they knew it, King Yanping and the backbone generals of the Jinxia Navy were surrounded by a group of military officers. At this time, the imperial edict was recited. Among the imperial edicts, Liu Guoxuan was the commander of the Dongyang Navy Camp.
"Liu Guoxuan?" Chen Yonghua murmured at this name. He knew that Chen Yonghua admired the most among the Jinxia Navy. This person was brave in fighting and knew water warfare. He was a rare talent. When Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping, was still alive, Chen Yonghua recommended Liu Guoxuan. Unfortunately, Zheng Chenggong took his own strategy and took courage first in controlling soldiers and using generals. Liu Guoxuan was too persistent in his ideas. Therefore, he was not valued.
Chen Yonghua didn't believe that Liu Guoxuan was a detailed work of the Jinxia Navy, but why did the Xinshi Emperor defeat this young general who was unknown to the Jinxia Navy?
"What a clever plan of disagreement." Chen Yonghua narrowed his eyes, stroked his whiskers with his hands, and sighed in the darkness.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, Liu Guoxuan immediately became a thorn in the Jinxia Navy. He had no way out. If he still insisted on standing on the side of the Jinxia Navy, then no matter what victory or defeat, he would die. If the Ming army wins and the Xinshi Emperor settles the score in the autumn, he will definitely be unlucky. If the Yanping King wins. Liu Guoxuan has a suspicious identity, will Yanping King spare him? Liu Guoxuan has no way out. If he wants to survive, he has to turn against the Xinshi Emperor and oppose the Yanping King.
Then the Emperor Xinshi gave him a banquet. Under the internal and external forces, King Yanping could not withdraw at all, and could only enter the city and the palace. When King Yanping and the generals entered the capital, the anti-Qing forces in Jinxia were defeated. They could no longer become the enemy of Emperor Xinshi. There was only one future leader of all the Han people. That was the Emperor Ming who was famous and occupied thousands of miles of land in the South China Sea. He had strong ships and powerful cannons.
After all, he was defeated. A trace of desolation flashed through Chen Yonghua's heart. Since ancient times, he has been successful and defeated. When the reputation of the Yanping king gradually fades, will this insidious Emperor Ming Dynasty forgive him?
"Tu tu tu..." The door of the wing was knocked. A faint voice came in outside the door: "Chen Sanxi, the head of the head, asked for a meeting."
Chen Yonghua's eyes lit up and he suddenly stood up. He was not completely without a chance. As long as Zheng Jing was rescued, the Jinxia Navy had no hope of recovery. He was dressed in a straight face and gently pulled the door open and pulled a gap. Soon, a black shadow flashed in from outside the door.
In the darkness, the black shadow reported the fist at Chen Yonghua and whispered: "Master Chen."
Chen Yonghua nodded to the black shadow and said, "It's Chen Sanxi? Why are you here? What's going on in the city now?"
"The headmaster, there is someone who wants to see you. Xiaodi is here to send you a message." Chen Sanxi said in a cold voice.
"Oh?" Chen Yonghua frowned. He heard the change in Chen Sanxi's tone and said calmly: "Chen Sanxi. How many years have you been with Chen?"
"Report to the headmaster, I've been with you for seven years."
"Chen can trust his brother, then let me ask you, have you been given a new beginning?" Although Chen Yonghua is a scholar with no power, he has a compelling momentum in his voice. Otherwise, how could he subdue so many heroes from Nanyang?
Chen Sanxi sighed slightly in the darkness and said, "The headmaster often teaches young men to take the right path. Now that the world is in its fall, it is the time when our passionate men defend our country. It is against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the purpose of our Heaven and Earth Association. The headmaster's words are kept in mind."
"Da Xiaodi dares to ask the head of the chief, is this world the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the King of Yanping? King Yanping said he wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Fudi was the Ming Dynasty of His Majesty the New First Emperor? Since this is the case, Xiaodi just followed the teachings of the head of the chief and served my Daming."
Chen Yonghua was slightly stunned. In order to win people's hearts at the beginning of the founding of the Heaven and Earth Association, the slogan he put forward was to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Zheng was in a legal way, so he tried to avoid entanglement on this topic and only let the members of the Heaven and Earth Association know that if everyone wants to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, they must follow Brother Wan Yunlong to conquer the world. Unexpectedly, Chen Yonghua shot himself in the foot today.
Wan Yunlong: The pseudonym of Zheng Chenggong in the Tiandihui Society, and members of the Tiandihui Society must respect Wan Yunlong as the leader.)
"The headmaster is a talented person. His Majesty the New First Emperor attaches great importance to you. Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. I will invite the headmaster Chen to the palace to discuss it." Chen Sanxi explained his purpose.
Chen Yonghua bit his lower lip and snorted coldly: "Don't say anything, don't make plans. Go and tell your master that Chen has been deeply favored by Zheng's family and will never let down the kindness of the country's surname. If your Majesty wants to kill and cut, he will be obeyed."
Chen Sanxi reported his fist to Chen Yonghua: "The chief lord Bo Yuntian, I will go back to report his life." He paused, saw Chen Yonghua's face firm, and continued with a gentle smile: "The emperor also told me that the life of King Yanping is completely in the hands of Lord Chen. If Lord Chen is unwilling to go, King Yanping will be dragged down by you. Goodbye!"
Chen Sanxi had already raised his hand and turned around and was about to leave. Chen Yonghua's pale face hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "Wait a minute, the emperor is going to harm King Yanping?"
Chen Sanxi nodded: "The conspiracy of King Yanping has been seen through by the emperor. He is just a small prince. How dare he do such a rebellious thing? Chen Dunzhu thought the emperor would let him go? King Yanping kept calling for anti-Qing and restoring Ming, but he thought about such rebellious thing in his heart. If the emperor exposes his crimes, all Han people in the world will curse him."
"You lead the way forward and lead Chen into the palace." The lights in the cold winter pavilion were as bright as daytime. Dozens of palace lanterns were led by the eunuchs, and the eunuchs with low eyebrows were shaped with their horoscopes. Little Guizi kept sitting cross-legged for Zhu Jun, pouring tea and water for Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun was wearing a casual long gown, blowing tea foam elegantly, constantly glanced at the outside of the hall.
A little eunuch trotted in with a robe. He leaned into Zhu Jun's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is here, right outside the hall."
"Tell him to come in." Zhu Jun touched the stubble on his chin. The Tiandihui was well organized. If he wanted to control him, he had to control the leader Chen Yonghua so that these people from thousands of miles away could serve him. But is Chen Yonghua willing to defect to him?
Everyone has weaknesses. Some people are very enthusiastic about making achievements. Some just want to be promoted and make money. Some want to be famous and merciless. What does Chen Yonghua want?
"Chen Yonghua is here to meet the emperor." Chen Yonghua entered the hall and saluted Zhu Jun without saying a word.
"Is it Mr. Chen? I can't sleep at night tonight, and I think Mr. Chen can't sleep. Come, I'm here." Zhu Jun saw that his face showed no sign of surrender, and he didn't even perform the ordinary kneeling ceremony, so he simply waved to him as if he hadn't seen it and enthusiastically.
Chen Yonghua was not polite, and sat cross-legged across from the table, glanced at Zhu Jun and said, "The emperor is here to come, probably not just talking about Fengyue, right?"
Zhu Jun said sutra: "I often hear Mr. Chen's name in Nanyang. Whenever the grassroots in Nanyang talk about him, they always raise their thumbs and praise him. Of course, I also want to see you, a hero, but..." Zhu Jun couldn't help but shake his head when he said this: "But the grassroots are really ignorant. They mistakenly think that Mr. Chen is a man of paranormality. They didn't expect that he was a cunning person who seeks fame."
Since Chen Yonghua is not up to the truth, Zhu Jun’s original plan to treat wise men is temporarily shelved. To deal with such people, it is better to use aggressive generals first. After all, Chen Yonghua is half a gang leader, and he probably attaches great importance to things like loyalty. Zhu Jun plans to start from here.
Chen Yonghua was not fooled by Zhu Jun. He played with the cups on the table with his fingers and smiled softly, "Chen was not a hero originally, he was just a hero in the world. Why should the emperor listen to the words of the market? It should be noted that people in this world are separated from their stomachs. If there is really a so-called hero and this person is not a great good person, then he must be a great evil person."
"Happy, what I want to hear the most is the truth. If Mr. Chen can say these words to me, he is already a hero." Zhu Jun simply abandoned the disguise and pretended to be useless in front of such people. The ability of Chen Yonghua to say these words in front of him has at least proved his courage. People who are not afraid of power are extremely small in any era.
"The emperor summoned Chen here late at night, but did he want to do a deal with Chen?" Chen Yonghua had already raised his cup, blew the tea foam, and raised his eyes calmly and said.
Zhu Jun looked at Chen Yonghua deeply and said, "Since Mr. Chen wants to open the skylight and speak brightly, I don't have to hide it."
Zhu Jun paused, and a hint of undetectable greed flashed in his eyes: "I want the Heaven and Earth Society, from the head of the Heaven and Earth Society to the branches in various places, and every member of the branch, I have to master it. Mr. Chen, what do you want?"
Chen Yonghua avoided Zhu Jun's scorching eyes and said, "What Chen wants is the lives of King Yanping and all the generals of Jinxia Navy, and even a single hair cannot be left behind."
"Well..." Zhu Jun looked embarrassed and said, "The King of Yanping committed a serious crime of treason. According to the Ming Dynasty, he should be executed by Lingchi and confiscated his family and exterminated his family. Is Mr. Chen's request too much? It is important to know that Mr. Chen's life is still in my hands."
Since it is a business, it is naturally asking for a price everywhere and paying back the money. Zhu Jun hesitated just to add more chips to himself.
"The King of Yanping no longer threatens His Majesty, not to mention that if the news of the internal conflict between the Emperor and Yanping spread, no matter who is right or wrong, it will probably have an impact on the great cause of anti-Qing. If Chen was the Emperor, he would definitely not spread this matter and would also raise Yanping well." Chen Yonghua smiled unpredictably.
Zhu Jun chuckled: "Okay, I won't make things difficult for King Yanping, but he can no longer go out to the capital. The royal palace must be guarded by Jinyi Guards, and every move must be monitored. As for those generals..." Zhu Jun paused: "I don't want their lives, but I just have to ban them for a few days first."
"My conditions are already generous enough. Mr. Chen, you should show your sincerity."
Chen Yonghua said sutra: "The Heaven and Earth Association has a total of forty-seven sub-rules in Nanyang, each with a rudder of 100 to 500 people. There are countless incense halls under the rudder. The congregation is of varying quality, but there is no chance of winning. Chen is willing to lead the people of the Heaven and Earth Association to serve the emperor."
"Okay, I believe that Mr. Chen is a person who keeps his promises. From tomorrow on, the head of the Tiandihui Society will be officially renamed the Nanzhenfusi. I ordered Mr. Chen to make the commander of the Taishushishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi
"I am not an unprepared person. At that time, I will also allocate a group of scholars from the Beizhen Fushi Department to the Nanzhen Fushi Department. First, we can familiarize you with some allusions in affairs, and second, these people will also become members of the Nanzhen Fushi Department, and everyone will urge each other."
Chen Yonghua's face changed and he said, "The emperor believes in Chen so much? Aren't he afraid that Chen has evil intentions?"
Chen Yonghua originally thought that the emperor just wanted to hand over the rosters of each branch and the seal of the head of the steward, and ordered each branch to take charge of the stewards.
"Why don't I believe you? I didn't ask you to deal with Zheng. I just want you to serve the great cause of anti-Qing. I heard that when the Qing army captured Tong'an, your father hanged himself in Minglun Hall. Would you betray me and destroy the entire anti-Qing foundation and ignore the people in the fire for personal grudges?" Zhu Jun stood up with his hands confidently, raised his eyes and said, "I don't believe you are such a person."
