Last year, Zhao Ming first entered Lianghuai, and then went to Shandong, occupied Dagukou, and transferred to Liaodong.After a set of actions, the Manchu Qing was beaten dizzy and exhausted.Under the attack of Zhao Ming, the original deployment of the Manchu Qing was disrupted, and the Ming army in Huguang also took advantage of the situation to capture Yuezhou.The situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties seems to have entered the stage of stalemate from the momentum of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Zhao Ming judged that with Huguang and the Ming army in the west to stabilize its position, and Zhu Yihai's soldiers and horses in the east to threaten Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Ming Dynasty had come out of a precarious situation and temporarily escaped the danger of being wiped out by World War I.After Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan, in order to guard against Zhao Ming, the Qing army imposed a sea ban on thousands of miles of sea frontiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Liaodong, relocated the people of hundreds of miles along the coast, created a no-man's land, and cut off Zhao Ming's connection with the mainland, making it difficult for Zhao Ming to attack the Manchus again.At the beginning of the year, after Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan, because of the blockade of Zhao Ming by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming army in the East China Sea was short of materials, and Zhao Ming's attention shifted to Taiwan, preparing to operate Taiwan Island, develop production, and mine minerals to obtain materials, and his energy was not focused on the Ming Dynasty.Zhao Ming thought that he had been dealing with the Manchu Qing for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty should have been able to barely support one side, but now it seems that he is too optimistic.Zhao Ming listened to Xia Wanchun's words, his brows furrowed, and his face sank, "What's the matter?"
”At present, the Ming army in the East China Sea has just defeated the Spaniards, and is preparing to completely drive the Spanish colonists out of Taiwan, and then manage Taiwan well, but they don't want the Ming Dynasty to have problems again.What is this called?
Zhao Ming was already a little annoyed in his heart.Xia Wanchun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty and Zheng Zhilong have a falling out!"
”The contradiction between Emperor Longwu and Zheng Zhilong is known to the world, but Longwu is in Fujian after all, so there is still a harmonious atmosphere between the two on the surface.Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, what did you do to provoke Zheng Zhilong about this?"
”After his strength grew, Zhao Ming's tone also became arrogant.Now that the Ming Dynasty has barely gained a foothold, Zheng Zhilong is unlikely to surrender, drag him first, wait for the Ming army to gain a further foothold, and then turn back to solve him.At this time, civil strife gave the Manchus an opportunity to take advantage of.Xia Wanchun hurriedly explained: "You can't blame Your Majesty and the court for this matter, it's all Zheng Zhilong's selfishness. ”Zhao Ming couldn't finish talking for a while, so he turned sideways with a calm face and said, "Let's talk about it when I enter the account!"
”The group entered the big tent, Zhao Ming sat behind the handsome case, and the rest of the people sat down on both sides, Xia Wanchun continued: "Your Majesty decided to move Huguang, in order to appease Zheng Zhilong, and named Zheng Zhilong as the Duke of Anguo, but Zheng Zhilong had a private meeting with the Qing envoy, worried that His Majesty would achieve Zhongxing after leaving Fujian, and then turn back to deal with the Zheng family, so he did not let His Majesty out of the customs, which made the relationship between the two sides completely broken.The current situation in Fujian is that Zheng Zhilong is afraid that His Majesty will leave Fujian, liquidate the Zheng family in the future, and want to surrender and betray the country, and His Majesty knows that Zheng Zhilong will secretly meet with the Qing envoys and intends to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so naturally he does not dare to continue to stay in Fujian. ”The chaos within the Ming Dynasty was simply a mess, and all kinds of mutual containment were really tiring.Zheng Zhilong, because he was worried that the Zheng family would be purged in the future, wanted to sell Fujian and Longwu to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is really speechless.With the manpower and material resources of the Zheng family, change their attitude, and fully support Longwu, Longwu will definitely welcome it, why do you have to die together?
Zhao Ming's face was calm, and he was angry in his heart, "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Zheng Zhilong is a duke and has a prominent reputation, why do you have to be a traitor referred to by Qianfu?"
”Xia Wanchun sighed and said: "Zheng Zhilong is a pirate businessman, who values profit over righteousness, and pays attention to practicality.He has no family and country in his heart, and he always puts interests first in everything he does.At that time, he accepted the imperial court's edict, not out of service for the country, but to use the status of the government to carry out maritime trade and make huge profits.Now, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, he thinks that although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has slightly reduced its sharpness, but the trend of unification has not changed, he for his own interests, naturally knows the current affairs as Junjie, and falls to the Manchu Qing. ”Xia Wanchun meant that Zheng Zhilong was not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty and felt that the Manchus would be unified sooner or later, so he was unwilling to fight with the Manchus with his family funds, and chose to surrender to the Manchus to ensure his own interests.Zhao Ming sneered: "If you are a barbarian, how can you believe that Zheng Zhilong will definitely not end well!"
”Xia Wanchun said: "But Zheng Zhilong doesn't think so!"
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to appease people's hearts and reduce resistance, they have given extremely generous preferential treatment to Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and other national thieves.After the Hong thief entered the customs, he was appointed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the crown prince Taibao, the secretary of the military department and the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and entered the inner court to administer military affairs, and was awarded the secretary of the academy, which was equivalent to the Manchu prime minister.And Wu Sangui was named the king of Pingxi and independently commanded the Guanning army.With Wu and Hong as examples, Zheng Zhilong will inevitably not be tempted!
According to the news of Jinyiwei's investigation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty promised to take Zheng Zhilong as the three provinces and wanted to crown him king, which was very attractive to Zheng Zhilong. ”Zhao Ming agitated, and had to admit that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very cunning, and at the beginning of re-entering the customs, when they did not gain a firm foothold, they did give preferential treatment to a group of traitors, attracting a large number of people to join the service.But when they gained a foothold, they showed a cunning face.When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they wanted to implement the shaving order, but when they saw the fierce resistance, they immediately stopped, and repeatedly claimed to maintain the old system of the previous dynasty and not shave their hair, but after the Qing army captured Jiangnan, they immediately returned and implemented the shaving order, and the cunning nature was undoubtedly revealed.Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not lost much trust, and the conditions offered are indeed very attractive to Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong is not aware of the danger he is facing.Zhao Ming didn't want to mention this rotten person again, and asked: "Xiao Yin, you said that Fujian is afraid of changes, what is the current situation?"
”Xia Wanchun said: "Your Majesty is now trapped in Tingzhou and cannot leave Fujian, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty has gathered 200,000 troops, settled in southern Gan and Zhejiang, and is ready to attack Fujian.His Majesty sent an edict to eastern Zhejiang, asking the Zhejiang army to organize a large army to enter Fujian, and another Huguang organization to welcome the army, wanting to force Zheng Zhilong to let him go. ”Zhao Ming stood up and couldn't help pacing back and forth in the tent, he pondered as he walked, suddenly stopped in the middle of the sound, shook his head and said, "This thing is difficult to do?"
”The generals in the tent looked at each other, and Chen Yujie said: "Governor, what can I do, it's so difficult to watch Zheng Zhilong betray the court?"
”Zhao Ming said: "If there is only Zheng Zhilong, our Zhejiang department organizes soldiers and horses, plus Huguang sends an army to welcome the army, Zheng Zhilong is under pressure, and attaches great importance to the immediate benefits, he will definitely choose to let His Majesty out of the customs, so as to resolve this crisis."
But now in addition to Zheng Zhilong, there are 200,000 Qing soldiers eyeing each other, once the Ming Dynasty fights infighting, the Qing army will inevitably attack, and things will be difficult to do!
”Xia Wanchun said gloomily: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also feels that things are difficult!"
If we don't send troops, maybe the situation can still stalemate once the time comes, once we send troops and enter Fujian, Zheng Zhilong will be in a hurry and will inevitably surrender.Such a 200,000 Qing army, under the reception of Zheng Zhilong, entered Fujian, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not do anything at all!
