Nanjing City, the speed of the Longwu Imperial Court, after all, was still a step slower, allowing Zhu Yihai's Zhejiang army to enter Nanjing City first.Zhejiang is close to Nanjing, and the front-line troops of Zhejiang have been close to the area of Moling Pass in the south of Nanjing, and the main force of the Longwu Imperial Court is stationed in Wuchang, busy digesting the results of the battle of Wuchang, and the response is not as good as that of the Zhejiang army.However, just when Zhu Yihai was full of joy, Jin Shenghuan received an order from Emperor Longwu, immediately changed his march and went down from Anqing, and in just one day, he rushed by boat to the west of Nanjing.The next day, Jin Shenghuan's army arrived in the western suburbs of Nanjing, but was blocked by the Zhejiang army outside Guocheng.Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan could only be stationed outside the city, and at the same time quickly reported to Emperor Longwu.When He Tengjiao signed a contract and informed Emperor Longwu that the Qing army was going to withdraw and let the court prepare to take over the land of Nanjing and Huainan given by the Qing army, Longwu got the news that Zhu Yihai rushed to Nanjing.This made Longwu extremely angry, and when Jin Shenghuan came with the news that the Qing army in Nanjing had retreated and the Zhejiang army had taken Nanjing without blood, both Longwu and He Tengjiao believed that Zhu Yihai had robbed them of the fruits of their negotiations.Zhu Yujian took the risk and ordered He Tengjiao to negotiate with the Manchus, and persuaded the Manchus to withdraw their troops from Nanjing and Huainan and subdue Nanjing.This made Emperor Longwu extremely angry, and regardless of the obstruction and persuasion of Gu Yinxi and others, he led nearly 200,000 Ming troops from Wuchang to the east and marched towards Nanjing.So far, Hong Chengchou's strategy for Bumu Butai has basically succeeded, and the Qing court has made peace with the Longwu court, but it has ceded Nanjing to Zhu Yihai, successfully provoking the Tang and Lu factions within the Ming Dynasty, which are already in harmony with each other, and making the two factions concentrate on Nanjing.On the twenty-fifth day of 1653, when Zhao Ming was ambushed, the Chu and Ganming armies, which were supposed to be inserted into Sizhou and outflank Yangzhou, were about to appear outside the Yifeng Gate in Nanjing.In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Yihai sat on the emperor's throne, looking excited, he started from Hangzhou, 100,000 Zhejiang troops went straight to Nanjing, originally thought that there would be a vicious battle, but did not want the Qing army in Nanjing to flee without a fight, 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers did not cut blood, they took Nanjing City, and recovered the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty.The Zhejiang army entered the city of Nanjing, Zhu Yihai and the generals of the Zhejiang department were very excited, the army rushed into the city, Zhu Yihai went straight to the palace, Li Chengdong, Fang Guoan, Wu Zhaosheng and others occupied the governor's yamen, as well as the city of Nanjing, the mansions of the wealthy families, and divided the spoils.The Qing army withdrew in a hurry, and many materials and money were not transferred, so that the Ming army of Zhejiang Province captured extremely richly.For a time, the Zhejiang army was indulged in the joy of recovering Nanjing, and the state was similar to Liu Bang's first entry into Xianyang.At this time, Zhu Yihai was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, holding the jade belt around his waist, sitting on the dragon chair, in a trance, he seemed to see hundreds of officials and bowed to him.Zhu Yihai was originally an ordinary vassal king, and he never thought that one day, he would be able to sit on the throne and be so close to the throne.At the beginning, Emperor Hongguang was captured, King Lu surrendered, and a large number of vassal kings in the south of the Yangtze River saw that the general trend had gone, and they ran and fell, so that the anti-Qing forces in Zhejiang could not find anyone to support for a while.The throne of the Ming Dynasty has changed from the fragrant bun during the Fulu dispute to a hot potato, and has become the most dangerous and high-risk occupation in the world.The ministers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who had a great Ming heart searched for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and found that there was only Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, in Zhejiang, who had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and had not yet run out of Zhejiang, so he hurriedly intercepted Zhu Yihai in Taizhou, rushed into Shaoxing, and established himself as a prisoner.At first, Zhu Yihai didn't care whether he was in charge of the country or whether he was the emperor or not, and he still had the mentality of a vassal king.When he experienced the brutal anti-Qing struggle, understood his responsibility, and gradually grasped power and tasted power, his mind began to change.Zhu Yihai began to want to be the emperor, because only by becoming the emperor can he do more for the Ming Dynasty, and he thinks that there is no one more suitable to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty than him.It's just that at this time, Zhu Yujian had ascended the throne in Fujian and was recognized by the vast majority of governors, making Zhu Yihai miss the throne.Originally, Zhu Yihai was not keen on the throne, but when the throne was made by Longwu, Zhu Yihai was inevitably a little unconvinced.For a long time, the anti-Qing center is located in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, he is in front, desperately fighting, why let Longwu be the emperor who is hiding behind, he is not as good as himself in terms of blood, prestige and achievements.Zhu Yihai was not convinced, but Longwu had already become the emperor and gradually sat firmly in the position of the great emperor, so that he could only be under Zhu Yujian, and his heart was unbalanced.Now that Zhu Yihai has recovered Nanjing and earned extremely high political prestige, he can't wait to become emperor.At this time, Zhang Huangyan on the side saw Zhu Yihai's infatuation with the palace and the throne, and seemed to be ready to occupy the palace, so he didn't leave."
Your Highness!"
Zhang Huangyan walked up to Zhu Yihai and saluted.Zhu Yihai sat on the throne and woke up from the illusion of hundreds of officials kneeling down."
Oh, what's the matter with the Qing family?"
Zhu Yihai asked in a good mood.Zhang Huangyan kept a calm face, hung his dissatisfaction and disappointment on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the minister has something I want to ask Your Highness!"
”Zhu Yihai couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw Zhang Huangyan's expression, and raised his hand embarrassedly and said, "The Qing family can speak out." ”Zhang Huangyan had a calm face, and saluted again, "Your Highness, the minister wants to ask Your Highness, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty first entered the Guanzhong, destroyed the Qin Dynasty, and captured Xianyang."
If the ancestor of the Han Dynasty proudly regarded himself as the king of Guanzhong, was nostalgic for the magnificent palace of the Qin Dynasty in the city of Xianyang, and was ready to live here, enjoy the enjoyment, did not plan to leave, and did not listen to Zhang Liang's persuasion, what would be the result of the dispute between Chu and Han?
Could it be that there would be no Hongmen Banquet, and Henkel would be directly defeated by Xiang Yu?
”When Zhu Yihai heard this, his face sank, and the whole person fell silent.Although Zhu Yihai is not a great talent, he is also a rare hero, and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Huang's words, which was a tactful persuasion.Zhu Yihai was silent for a while, exhaled, looked at Zhang Huang and said, "The meaning of the Qing family, King Gu understands." ”Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan immediately said with satisfaction: "His Royal Highness has recovered Nanjing, and the position of the crown prince is already unshakable, and now we should not be in a hurry, but should worship the filial piety tomb, play the imperial court, and further consolidate the prestige of His Royal Highness." ”()
