Zuo Maodi left, and took a boat full of anger with Chen Yue's condition to stop the attack.
Chen Yue's conditions are more difficult to accept than the last.
If they are accepted in full, there will be a super powerful minister who can hold military power and cannot be controlled.
There is no precedent for a princess to supervise the country, which is even more unacceptable.
However, Zuo Maodi knew that he was just a minister of the Ministry of War and had no decision-making power on such important matters, and the Duke of Qi, Chen Yue, was extremely overbearing and could not be negotiated.
So we had to rush back to Nanjing and ask the chief assistant Shi Kefa to make the decision.
But at least Chen Yue has promised to give the court three days to discuss and will not attack the city within three days.
Zuo Maodi left, and Chen Yue sat quietly, his expression unclear.
"My lord, we have already arrived at the city.
With the combat effectiveness of the Nanjing defenders, the bipolar personalities of the ministers in the city, and our internal support, there will be no problem in capturing Nanjing.
It will not take three days at all.
By then Lord, you can do whatever you want, so why bother negotiating with them?"
Liu Neng couldn't help but say that in the past few days since he returned to Nanjing, Liu Neng had clearly understood the situation in Nanjing.
Although there were as many as 100,000 troops in Nanjing, they were definitely no match for these 30,000 troops.
Moreover, several generals in the Beijing camp have been instigated by the Jin Yiwei to rebel, and even the governor of the Beijing camp, Zhu Guobi, has an ambiguous attitude.
Liu Neng believed that as long as the army came to the city, someone would open the door and surrender to welcome the army into the city without attacking.
"Commander Liu, the situation is very complicated.
It's not as simple as attacking the city.
Attacking the city is easy, but after entering the city, we can't kill all the civil servants in the cabinet and court.
Even if we control the court, how can we have so many people available?"
Gu Junen smiled.
Among everyone, the one who knew Chen Yue's plans the most clearly was none other than Gu Junen, because many plans were made after discussions between the two.
For Qi Guogong Chen Yue, the rare thing was not to conquer Nanjing, but to quickly stabilize the situation after conquering Nanjing.
Although the officials in the cabinet and court were selfish and incompetent, without them, the court would not be able to function at all, which would inevitably cause long-term turmoil.
Once this turmoil spreads to the local area, the situation will no longer be controllable.
Violence is simple and direct, but it can cause too much harm.
Most of the current court officials are members of the Donglin Party, and the entire southeast is the stronghold of the Donglin Party.
If Chen Yue dares to violently eradicate the imperial court, it is conceivable that it will inevitably lead to chaos throughout the southeast.
The Ming Dynasty was ruled by scholar-bureaucrats.
Those who advanced became officials and then became gentry.
The gentry not only controlled the court but also controlled the vast countryside.
Their power and huge power were the basis of the rule of the entire Ming Dynasty.
What would happen if Nanjing was captured and the imperial court was eradicated?
If these gentry did not cooperate, Chen Yue's orders would not be able to spread out of Nanjing at all.
As for establishing himself as emperor, it is even more undesirable.
Chen Yue was originally a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.
The image of the Chen family and his son's generation of loyalty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Once Chen Yue tried to usurp the throne, his establishment would collapse.
There may be many officials who seek refuge with Chen Yue for the sake of glory and wealth, but these people are also people with low moral character and tend to be in favor of others.
However, a truly loyal person like Shi Kefa and Zuo Maodi will never succumb.
However, such a person has an extremely high reputation.
High, it can influence a large number of people.
At the local level, gentry officials would elect vassal kings to continue the Ming Dynasty.
For example, if they supported the Gui vassal, there would be wars and disasters, and there would be no hope of quelling the civil strife within a few years.
But now that there are thieves inside and Manchu Tatars outside, how can we have so much time?

And for Chen Yue, he didn't have much desire to be an emperor, and he couldn't bear to take away the Ming Dynasty and make Princess Kunxing sad.
Therefore, the situation is like this.
It is easy to break into Nanjing, but it is difficult to stabilize the situation quickly.
Therefore, Chen Yue had to compromise with Shi Kefa in peace talks, hoping to achieve the most favorable outcome.
However, in order to show his determination and achieve his goal, Chen Yue put forward tough conditions.
As long as these conditions were acceptable to Shi Kefa, the court became his vassal from then on.
The princess oversees the country and controls the monarchy, and she controls the military power for the governor.
The power of the cabinet and the court is greatly weakened.
From then on, the Ming Dynasty can operate according to its own intentions, and Shi Kefa and others will be reduced to workers.
With the assistance of these civil servants, the court could quickly stabilize and there would be no local troubles.
In this way, he will have the energy to recruit and train the army.
Although the Ming Dynasty is broken, it still has the richest area in the south.
With the national power of the Ming Dynasty, it will take less than two years to train a strong army.
By then, it will not be a problem to defeat the bandits and annihilate the Manchus. .
By that time, his prestige had reached its peak.
The Ming Dynasty's national power was at its peak, and he had plenty of time to slowly deal with these shameless civil servants.
As for Zuo Maogeng's promise to retire after his success, it is just a trick.
If Chen Yue doesn't hand over power, who will dare to mention it?
However, Chen Yue also knew that the conditions he proposed were very harsh, and it would only be enough to destroy Han Zanzhou.
Whether he made the king the governor or the princess to supervise the country, it would be difficult for a conservative person like Shi Kefa to accept any of them. .
Proclaiming the king as Grand Governor means that he has sole control of the military and can threaten the royal rule at all times.
Civil servants absolutely do not want to see that they have such great power.
But that's okay, after all, the situation is stronger than the people, and they don't have many choices in the alliance under the city, but the most difficult thing for them to accept is probably the princess supervising the country.
In this era of prevailing patriarchy, women's status is extremely low, especially in the Ming Dynasty, which believed in Zhu Xi's ethics.
For these self-proclaimed noble scholar-bureaucrats, kneeling down to a woman every day is probably more difficult than beheading her, even if the woman is the emperor's daughter or a princess of noble blood.
Oh, the princess has noble blood, but she has no status in this Ming Dynasty.
The tradition that princesses can only marry commoners makes the status of princesses even lower.
Even if you are the daughter of the emperor, your final husband may be a butcher who kills dogs and goes into business. merchants, in this era, a wealthy family with a little bit of property could marry a princess, princess or county lord Therefore, it is really difficult to let a princess who is usually not looked down upon by civil servants supervise the country.
Although Liu Neng was smart and intelligent, such political matters were beyond his understanding.
If he didn't understand something, he would just shut up and stop asking.
Lu Zhenfei naturally understood, but he didn't want to ask more questions.
Having served as a second minister in the cabinet, he naturally knew what it would mean once Shi Kefa agreed to Chen Yue's conditions.
This means that from now on, the cabinet will no longer be able to dominate, and it means that the power of the court will be in the hands of the Duke of Qi.
But it is a good thing for Lu Zhenfei, because he will definitely be able to join the cabinet again, and it is not impossible to even replace Shi Kefa as the first assistant
