December 1652, Shanghai Wharf.In the howling cold wind, countless figures stood on the edge of the pier, looking forward to it, as if waiting for a distinguished person to arrive.Some of these people are wearing official robes and cloaks, and they are from the government, while others are wearing gorgeous clothes and mink belts, and it can be seen that the people who come are either high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or famous gentry and wealthy families.In winter, the wet and cold weather in the south of the Yangtze River was unbearable, and Qian Qianyi led a group of officials of the National Socialist Party, as well as well-known gentry in Jiangdong, waiting for Zhao Ming's ship to dock.This time, Zhao Ming's northern expedition, which lasted for a year and a half, destroyed the main force of the Manchu Qing Division, took Korea and Liaodong, and obtained more than 2 million people from North Korea, sent them to Taiwan to colonize, and captured a large number of gold and silver treasures, and the harvest was extremely rich."
Chief, the Prime Minister's ship has arrived!"
Huang Zongxi looked at the shadow of the sail that appeared in the distance and said to Qian Qianyi.Huang Zongxi and Qian Qianyi both have official positions in the Ming Dynasty, but now the officials in Donghai Town like them in private, and they call each other by their positions in the State Party.Zhao Ming has the title of Premier Zhao in addition to Zhao Dashuai, Zhao Guogong, and Governor Zhao, and Qian Qianyi is now the Minister of Party Affairs of the National Socialist Party, so he is called the Commander-in-Chief.Qian Qianyi looked up, and sure enough, he saw a sail shadow on the river in the distance, he suddenly perked up, and waved his hand: "Director Huang, your Propaganda Department, you must be prepared, and you must let the prime minister feel the enthusiasm of the people and gentry." ”On the big ship Zhenhai, Zhao Ming wore a cloak and stood on the bow of the ship, looking at both sides of the Yangtze River, and sighed with emotion in his heart, "This expedition of this marshal, it will be a year and a half to go, and I don't know how Jiangdong is now?"
How is the world?
”Gu Yanwu on the side smiled and said: "The marshal's northern expedition this time not only made a lot of profits in the East China Sea, but also reversed the general trend of the world.According to the information heard by the subordinates, it is said that the imperial court has launched a counterattack. ”Zhao Ming also bowed slightly, "It is said that Sun Kewang is bound to win Chengdu, and the imperial army besieged Wuchang and counterattacked Chu and Jiangxi, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not draw troops out."
If Dolroll doesn't know how to make trade-offs and doesn't accept his ambition to sweep the world, I think that as long as there is a collapse, a chain reaction will be formed, and the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be in the past few years. ”The Manchu Qing Dynasty originally had a small core force, and it was only by relying on the surrendered Han army that such a large stall was rolled out, and once it suffered another defeat, the army's morale would definitely be shaken.A few years later, in the three major battles, as long as one of them is lost, the balance of forces in the other two will also be unbalanced, and eventually lead to the rout of the whole front.Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in the south, that is, the three major theaters of Bashu, Jingchu, and Jiangnan, and due to Zhao Ming's containment outside the pass, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no mobile troops, and has increased its troops to the three theaters.If the Ming army won victory in any of these three areas, the victorious troops could pour into the other two theaters, causing the collapse of the Qing army on all fronts.If Sun Kewang of Bashu defeated Wu Sangui, then the hundreds of thousands of Western troops of Bashu would be able to build a strong army, pour into Chu and Jiangxi, strengthen the strength of the Longwu court, form an overwhelming advantage, recover Chu and Jiangxi, and finally kill to the south of the Yangtze River and annihilate the main and elite soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.If the Ming army of Chu and Jiangxi, or the Ming army of Jiangnan, won a decisive victory first, the result would be the same.Zhao Ming stood at the bow of the boat, with a smile on his face, and he was already full of confidence in the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.By this time, the ships had entered the Huangpu River, and after several years of development, the riverside was already full of wharves and warehouses.Nowadays, the Jiangdong region has become the center of the silk weaving industry in the whole world, and there are sea ships every day, transporting a large number of goods, starting from here, exported to the South Seas, South Asia, and even arriving on the west coast of Africa, and a shipload of grain, production raw materials, are transported from overseas, put into the warehouse storage.The fleet sailed into the Huangpu River, and on the shore of several miles, countless people waving colorful flags gathered, and the music team in the crowd blew and blow, welcoming Zhao Dashuai to return victorious."
Look, that's Zhao Dashuai!""
The Prime Minister is back!"
…… Zhao Ming stood at the bow of the boat, and when he saw this scene, he not only kept waving to the crowd that greeted him!
On the boat, those who followed Zhao Ming to Jiangdong, Tang Tong, Li Benshen, Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxian, Han Dai and others were shocked when they saw this scene, but they didn't expect Zhao Ming's prestige to be so high.Zhao Ming glanced at the many generals behind him, and said proudly: "How do you feel when you see these gentry and people, and then look at the bustling banks of the Huangpu River?"
”Tang Tong hugged his fists and said: "The prestige of the handsome man is like Zhongtian!"
”Li Benshen said: "Dashuai is deeply loved by the people. ”Zhao Ming shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Ben Shuai's impression is that the things that the soldiers and horses are wrapped in leather and fought on the battlefield, aren't they the people who support them, and the prosperous civilized world?"
”Tang Tong's heart was shocked, but he didn't seem to understand, he only felt that Zhao Dashuai was reasonable, and he said it well, but he couldn't tell a reason.At this time, the ship dropped the rope and was slowly pulled to the shore, and after a while, the anchor was dropped, the rope was lassoed around the stone pile, and the soldiers on the pier stabilized the hull, put on the ship's plank, and connected with the pier.The crowd on the dock immediately let out earth-shattering cheers, and the musicians played music desperately, excited to witness Zhao Dashuai's demeanor.At this time, Zhao Ming waved his hand and stepped off the board, and as soon as he stepped on the dock, Qian Qianyi and other officials who stayed behind surrounded him, bowed together, and said: "Prime Minister!"
”Zhao Ming was a little surprised to see this, before his northern expedition, the National Socialist Party had just formed a party, and he didn't want him to leave this time, the scale of the Socialist Party actually expanded rapidly, and when he looked at it, the twenty officials in front of him seemed to be members of the National Socialist Party.Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite!"
”Huang Zongxi turned to one side, stretched out his hand and asked, "Prime Minister, I think I have prepared a carriage for you!"
”Zhao Ming was not used to riding in a car, but there were too many people gathered, and it was indeed a little cold to ride a horse in winter, so he nodded and followed Huang Zongxi into a wide carriage."
It's cold, so the people are scattered!"
After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he boarded the carriage where the coachman picked up the curtain, and turned his head and said: "Mu Zhaigong, Director Huang, and he is in the same car as Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai has something to learn from you." ”After Zhao Ming boarded the carriage, he waved goodbye to the people, and then got into the carriage, holding the copper furnace in his hand, and sat in the middle, Qian Qianyi and Huang Zongxi sat on both sides.Zhao Ming immediately asked: "Ben Shuai is not here, what big things have happened?"
”Qian Qianyi said: "During the period of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, many things happened in Jiangdong, but most of them were not in a hurry, and there were only two things that the Prime Minister needed to pay attention to. ”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"
”Qian Qianyi said: "These two things are actually linked.The first is that the slave chief Doll fell from his horse and died, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in internal turmoil.The second is that the imperial court won a great victory in Chu and Jiangxi, and the prince's side wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Doer's death and the turmoil in the hearts of the Manchu Qing people to send troops to recover Nanjing!
The envoy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in Suzhou for many days, just waiting for the marshal to come back, and then go to Hangzhou to discuss the overall situation!
