The Zhejiang army regained Nanjing, and obtained great merits, as well as political prestige.Zhu Yihai's position as the Ming State Prince's position is basically ironclad, even if Longwu wants to abolish him, the people of the world will not agree, and he will inevitably suffer huge resistance.It can be said that in the future, as long as Zhu Yihai does not commit any heinous and rebellious crimes, Longwu will not be able to abolish Zhu Yihai, and it will be a matter of time before Zhu Yihai takes over the throne.However, if at this time, Zhu Yihai can't wait, then even if he recovers Nanjing, it will be difficult to gain the support of the people of the world.After all, Zhu Yujian has been on the throne for nine years, the throne has long been stable, and has been recognized by the world, regarded as the co-lord of the world, the son of tomorrow, Zhu Yihai ascended the throne and became the emperor while he was still alive, which is equivalent to rebellion.At this time, the places controlled by the Zhejiang system were only the eastern part of Fujian, the southern part of Nanzhili, and Zhejiang Province, while the Longwu Imperial Court actually controlled most of Liangguang, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Fujian, and obtained the nominal allegiance of controlling Yungui and southern Sichuan.Zhang Huangyan's words reminded Zhu Yihai, who was a little proud, and he was silent for a while, and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.Zhu Yihai walked back and forth in the main hall for a few steps, stopped, looked at Zhang Huangyan, and said, "The Qing family's reminder is reasonable!"
The lone king has gained the prestige to recover Nanjing, and has achieved the goal set before, and he really shouldn't rush for quick success. ”Saying that, Zhu Yihai paused, "The Qing family thinks that the lonely king should worship Xiaoling first at this time, and then learn from the Han Gaozu, withdraw from Nanjing first, and welcome the emperor?"
”Zhang Huangyan nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Your Highness is wise, in addition, you need to send troops to cross the river and cooperate with Zhao Guogong to recover the land of Huainan."
Since ancient times, guarding the river must defend Huai, and Zhao Guogong's lone army is in the north, His Royal Highness should immediately reinforce and cooperate with Zhao Guogong to annihilate the Qing army in Jiangbei. ”When Zhu Yihai heard this, he remembered that Zhao Ming was still holding back Azig in Jiangbei.Zhu Yihai's army was killed in Nanjing, and the 100,000 Qing troops in the Jiangnan camp had withdrawn to Jiangbei, that is, the Qing troops in Jiangbei had increased to 300,000.When Zhao Ming came to Hangzhou, Zhu Yihai discussed with Zhao Ming, in order to let Zhao Ming send troops, Zhu Yihai agreed to Zhao Ming's plan to outflank Yangzhou and annihilate the two battalions of the Qing army in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but Zhu Yihai did not do what was discussed.It turned out that Zhao Ming was the back road of outflanking the 200,000 Qing troops in Yangzhou, and now it has become the back road of outflanking the 300,000 Qing army.In this way, it is equivalent to Zhao Ming and Donghai Town all the way, dealing with 300,000 Qing troops, and the situation may not be easy.When Zhu Yihai heard this, he couldn't help but nod immediately, "Aiqing reminded me that Bo'an is still fighting alone in Jiangbei. ”Just as Zhu Yihai was about to follow Zhang Huangyan's suggestion to mobilize people and redeploy, outside the main hall, a rush of footsteps came in.Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly walked to the door of the main hall and asked the guards, "Is Your Highness inside?"
”Lu Shikui, the commander of Zhu Yihai's personal guards, immediately saluted and said: "Back to Zhang Duzhen, His Royal Highness and Zhang Shenzheng are inside." ”Zhang Mingzhen immediately stepped into the main hall, Zhu Yihai and Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but stop talking and turned their faces around."
Your Highness!"
Zhang Mingzhen exhaled and walked over with wind under his feet.Zhang Mingzhen was steady, Zhu Yihai couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this, and asked, "What's the matter with the Qing family?"
”"Your Highness, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have entered the Great Victory Pass, and the emperor is about to enter the city of Nanjing!"
Zhang Mingzhen said urgently.Zhu Yihai was shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty arrived in Nanjing so soon?"
”Zhang Mingzhen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty went down by boat, and just arrived at Dasheng Pass and went ashore.The guards of Yifeng Gate and Dinghuai Gate asked, in case His Majesty wants to enter the city, will he be allowed to go?
”Jin Shenghuan wanted to enter Nanjing, and was blocked out of Waiguo City by the Ming army of Zhejiang, but Longwu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and theoretically all the troops of the Ming Dynasty had to be dispatched by him.Zhu Yihai hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty is here, how many soldiers and horses are there in the imperial court?"
”Zhang Mingzhen said in a deep voice: "At present, there are only 30,000 people in Jin Shenghuan, and 10,000 in the Huguang Water Division, but according to the news released over there, the imperial court has almost poured out of the nest this time, and the 200,000 troops in Wuchang have already set off to the east. ”Zhu Yihai exclaimed, "So many people?
”Zhang Mingzhen opened his mouth and said: "There should be no fake!"
”Zhu Yihai groaned for a while and asked, "Can you block it and let the lonely king worship the filial piety tomb first?"
”Hearing that Zhu Yujian led more than 200,000 horses and horses down the east of the river, Zhu Yihai regretted a little, indulging in the joy of recovering Nanjing in the past few days, and did not worship the filial piety tomb earlier.Zhang Mingzhen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, blocking Jin Shenghuan is easy to block, and he doesn't need to give him face, but Zhu Yujian is the emperor after all, what excuse should he use to block it?
Zhang Huangyan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it's too late.Since the emperor has reached the Great Victory Pass, it is better to simply send someone to greet him immediately and invite the emperor to worship the filial piety tomb. ”Zhu Yihai heard the words but his face was calm, obviously reluctant, and at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall came again.After a short while, Li Yuanyin walked into the main hall quickly, strode in front of Zhu Yihai, and saluted on one knee, "Your Highness, the minister has an urgent military report!"
”Zhu Yihai couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Zhang Mingzhen was stationed in the west of the city, and Li Yuanyin's department was stationed in the east of the city, what emergency military situation could he report?"
What?"
Zhu Yihai retracted his thoughts and asked.Li Yuanyin's face showed an anxious look, "Back to Your Highness, General Wang Yi of Donghai Town, sent someone from Jiangbei to send news that Zhao Guogong was ambushed by Azig, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, please send troops to cross the river immediately and reinforce Donghai Town." ”Zhu Yihai was shocked when he heard this, and it was difficult to hide his panic in his tone, "What?
What about Boan being ambushed by Azig?
”Li Yuanyin said in a deep voice: "Zhao Guogong defeated Taizhou, thinking that Azig was going to lead the army to escape across the Huai River, so he hurriedly led an army of 30,000 to intercept it, and was ambushed by Azig in the southwest of Gaoyou.General Wang Yi, who stayed in Taizhou to respond, detected the movement and hurriedly led troops to check, but was blocked by the Qing army.Later, Donghai Town waited, broke through behind the enemy, found traces of battle on the shore of Victory Lake, asked the people nearby, and learned that on the evening of the 20th, more than 100,000 Qing troops attacked a Ming army here, and fought for most of the night, and the momentum was very terrifying.Later, the scouts continued to investigate, and on the shore of Victory Lake, they found the corpses of nearly 10,000 soldiers in Donghai Town, and judging from the situation at the scene, the battle was extremely fierce, with a radius of dozens of miles, and there were human corpses and horse corpses everywhere. ”()
