Zhu Yujian came full of anger, believing that Zhu Yihai had picked the fruits of his negotiations with the Manchus and stolen Nanjing, which was supposed to be taken over by the Longwu court.Zhu Yihai was resentful in his heart, and led a group of Zhejiang generals to come to Dashengguan to welcome Zhu Yujian.In the eyes of the Zhejiang department, their thinking is just the opposite of Zhu Yujian, Nanjing was defeated by the Zhejiang department, and Zhu Yujian led hundreds of thousands of troops over, which can be said to be a clear robbery of their merits, which made everyone angry.Although Nanjing has now been recovered, the gap between the Tang and Lu factions, which were already incompatible, has expanded several times in an instant, making the Ming Dynasty, which was originally a whole, split.At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty undoubtedly achieved the goal of dividing the internal forces of the Ming Dynasty and provoking disputes.At the beginning, between Tang and Lu, water and fire were incompatible, and there were many contradictions, and it was Zhao Ming who lobbied in exchange for the nominal reconciliation between Tang and Lu.If according to the historical trajectory, the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is indeed not as united as the Manchu Dynasty, after the Jiashen State Change, the dispute of Fulu, for the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty, laid the root of the bane, after the Tanglu dispute, and made Zhejiang and Fujian fall one after another, and later, the dispute between Yongli and Shao Wu, and lost Guangzhou, and Sun Kewang and Li Ding's domestic strife, but also buried the last chance for the Ming Dynasty to turn around.If there was no Zhao Ming, Nanming would have been driven to the southwest now, but although Zhao Ming temporarily adjusted the dispute, the problem always existed.Now Hong Chengchou has a plan to re-provoke the Tanglu dispute that has been suppressed for nearly ten years.After the fall of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty lost a center, which created a situation in which none of the forces of the parties obeyed anyone, and the contradictions would break out sooner or later.However, at this time, fortunately, Zhang Huangyan's persuasion, coupled with Zhao Ming's trapping, made the Zhejiang Department at a disadvantage in the face of Longwu, forcing Zhu Yihai to treat it rationally.If Zhu Yihai does not let Zhu Yu enter Nanjing, it will inevitably make Tang Lu break up and immediately form a confrontational situation.Now that Zhu Yihai took the initiative to let it out, he made the Longwu court have nothing to say, and at the same time, it also seemed that Emperor Longwu was stingy, so it was better for Zhu Yihai to take care of the overall situation and only care about fighting for territory.After all, Zhu Yihai only marched into Nanjing in advance, while the Longwu Imperial Court changed the direction of the march and came to Nanjing.After a great victory over the east of Guanzhi, Zhu Yihai led many generals and galloped to the front of the Ming army's camp.At this time, the Ming army in the camp found all the people of the Zhejiang army, and a general immediately rode out of the horse and led the cavalry to intercept the Zhejiang army.As the first general, he reined in the war horse, looked at everyone, and saw Zhu Yihai wearing a red dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, a jade belt around his waist, stepping on cloud boots, and riding on a war horse, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, put away his fierce and evil expression, and said a little timidly: "Who is coming?"
”Zhang Mingzhen slapped his horse and said loudly: "The prince is here, don't see you yet!"
”The leader of the general is Wang Deren, the general under Jin Shenghuan, who has just returned to the Ming army, and when he heard that Zhu Yihai was coming, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and said: "Wang Deren, deputy general of Chenjiangxi, meet His Highness!"
”In the War of Resistance against the Qing Dynasty, Zhejiang's record was better than that of the Longwu Imperial Court, and if Zhu Yujian was not the emperor, Zhu Yihai's reputation would be much higher than his.Many Jiangxi cavalry, I heard that the person in front of me was to raise troops in eastern Zhejiang, block the Qing army in Nanjing, fight Jinhua to kill the Manchu Qing general Boluo, flood Hangzhou to recover the whole territory of Zhejiang, and now recover Nanjing's prince Zhu Yihai, suddenly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and saluted, "Meet Your Highness." ”Zhu Yihai stepped forward with a smile on his face, "The soldiers don't have to be polite.General Wang, please inform Your Majesty immediately. ”Wang Deren hurriedly sent someone to report, and he led Zhu Yihai and his party to the front of the camp.After a short time, the scholar Du Yinxi came to the camp and greeted him on behalf of the emperor.At that moment, after everyone saluted, Zhu Yihai and others turned over and dismounted, and followed Du Yinxi into the camp, and at this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Yujian, who got the news, was discussing with He Tengjiao, Jin Shenghuan and others.The Longwu court negotiated peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and negotiated the conditions, the Qing army withdrew from Nanjing, and the merits of recovering Nanjing should have belonged to the Longwu court, but Zhu Yihai took advantage of the Qing army's withdrawal according to the agreement, preempted the Longwu court and occupied Nanjing.In the eyes of He Tengjiao and Zhu Yujian, Zhu Yihai snatched the glory that should have belonged to them."
What is he here for?"
He Tengjiao said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is better to take this opportunity to directly detain Zhu Yihai." ”Zhu Yujian raised his eyebrows, obviously moving in his heart, but he knew in his heart that he obviously couldn't do this at this time.The prince on the side said: "Your Majesty, since the prince has arrived, Your Majesty will know his intention when he sees it!"
”Zhu Yujian had a calm face, "I'll see you first!"
”Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, thousands of guards wearing armor, holding spears, broadswords and other ceremonial weapons, with majestic figures, came running, stopped in front of the big tent, and then stood on the left and right.Li Laiheng roared loudly: "Stand!
”The soldiers on the left and right suddenly raised their heads and chests, with one hand on the ground with a gun, and the other hand on the waist, full of murderous energy, putting on a proud appearance of the world, looking mighty and extraordinary.The curtain of the big tent was rolled up, and looking inside from the outside, Zhu Yujian was wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright on the throne, and the armor soldier behind him pressed the war knife and stood straight.On both sides of the big tent sat Ming Dynasty officials wearing armor or official robes, each of whom was sitting upright, neatly dressed and robed, and did not squint.Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Du Yinxi, who led Zhu Yihai over, couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the scene in front of him, and shook his head secretly.Between the Longwu Imperial Court and the Zhejiang Department, there has always been a comparison and competition with each other, and in fact, in recent years, the Zhejiang Department has always overwhelmed the Longwu Imperial Court in the anti-Qing war.I don't know who gave the emperor the idea, the battlefield did not beat the record of the Zhejiang department, do you want to use these fame to scare the Zhejiang department?
Du Yinxi is not very interested in the armor standing in front of him, he should shake on the battlefield if he has prestige, kill more Qing troops, recover more cities, and make the Zhejiang department ashamed, now Zhu Yihai and others did not lead the troops to come, the emperor put on such a posture, and wanted to deter the Zhejiang army, it was really unnecessary, but he fell behind.Sure enough, Zhu Yihai and a group of Zhejiang generals came to the outside of the big tent, and when they saw the formation in front of them, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile.Zhu Yihai didn't wait for Yinxi to speak, so he strode directly into the big tent, ignoring the two mighty armor soldiers.In the big tent, two rows of officials, hearing the movement outside the tent, all looked sideways at the outside of the tent, and after a while, they saw Zhu Yihai, who had an extraordinary bearing, walked into the tent, and glanced at the ministers on both sides, and finally turned his eyes to Zhu Yujian, who was sitting on the throne and had a somewhat gloomy face.Although one of the two is the emperor and the other is the prince, this is the first time the two have met.Zhu Yujian came in from Zhu Yihai, his eyes kept looking at him, carefully looking at this political opponent, he saw that Zhu Yihai was in his thirties and had an extraordinary bearing, and immediately felt a threat.When Zhu Yihai landed his eyes on Zhu Yujian, he saw the old man who was more than half a hundred years old in front of him, looked at each other for a moment, and then suddenly saluted loudly: "Minister, meet Your Majesty!"
”A group of Zhejiang generals also hurriedly saluted and met Emperor Longwu when they saw this.Zhu Yujian's eyes narrowed, and then he raised his hand with a smile and said, "Prince Jun and all Aiqing, please get up!"
”Everyone hurriedly thanked them, but Zhu Yujian did not give everyone a seat, but let everyone stand in the middle of the big tent, and then continued to ask: "I heard Jin Shenghuan say that the prince stopped him and did not let the imperial army enter Nanjing, what does the prince mean by coming here today?"
Could it be to persuade me to return to Wuchang?
”Zhu Yihai heard the words, his face did not change, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted: "Return to Your Majesty, Nanjing is the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court is important."
After the minister recovered, he looked forward to His Majesty's return to Nanjing.The reason why the minister prevented Jindu Town from entering the city was that he was worried that the soldiers of Jiangxi would accidentally damage the city of Nanjing if they were newly annexed. ”Jin Shenghuan, who was sitting on the side, heard this, and immediately looked angry, Zhu Yujian was slightly stunned, "The prince wants to welcome me back to the capital?"
”He Tengjiao and others frowned, thinking that the Zhejiang system would occupy Nanjing, but they didn't expect Zhu Yihai to give up Nanjing.Zhu Yihai suddenly led a group of Zhejiang generals, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The ministers came today, I heard that Your Majesty has arrived at the Dasheng Pass, so I came to greet Your Majesty, worship the filial piety tomb, and return to Nanjing!"
”Zhu Yujian didn't expect Zhu Yihai to take such a step, so wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to seize Nanjing, but many ministers in the Longwu court were impressed by Zhu Yihai and had an excellent image of this national prince.For a while, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Yihai still had any conspiracy, and he didn't dare to express his position easily.Although Zhu Yujian came with great momentum, in fact, not long after the Longwu Imperial Court recovered Chu and Jiangxi, he did not think about moving the capital to Nanjing immediately, after all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the sphere of influence of the Zhejiang system, where did Zhu Yujian dare to return the capital to Nanjing."
This is just one thing?"
Zhu Yujian couldn't help asking.Zhu Yihai saluted and said: "It is one thing to return to Your Majesty and return to Nanjing, but there is one more thing at the moment, and the minister wants to ask Your Majesty for permission!"
”Zhu Yujian exhaled a breath of cold air from his nostrils and sneered: "Oh, what's the matter?"
”Zhu Yihai immediately saluted with the generals of the Zhejiang department: "The minister implores His Majesty to issue an order, please ask the army of the imperial court, according to the original plan, to march to Jiangbei, reinforce Donghai Town, relieve the siege for Zhao Guogong, and eliminate the Qing army in Jiangbei!"
”Zhu Yujian was stunned again, and after a while, a wave of anger couldn't help but rise in his heart, and he suddenly understood that he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation just now.Zhu Yujian looked at the ministers on both sides, and saw many people, all of whom were looking at Zhu Yihai, with a sense of approval in their eyes.In the imperial court, there were many people who opposed him abolishing Zhu Yihai and making the emperor's eldest son the crown prince, and now seeing Zhu Yihai's performance, more ministers will think that Zhu Yihai is the best candidate for the prince in their hearts.Zhu Yihai resisted the Qing Dynasty for many years, his prestige was very high, and his ability was outstanding, and now after recovering Nanjing, he did not occupy Nanjing to fight against the imperial court, but took the initiative to welcome the emperor to worship the filial piety tomb, and returned the capital to Nanjing, and at the same time did not hope to fight with the Qing army and regain the lost territory, so he was undoubtedly a qualified prince.In contrast, when Longwu led the army to capture Nanjing, it seemed that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain.He Tengjiao on the side suddenly asked: "What does His Royal Highness mean by reinforcing Donghai Town and rescuing Zhao Guogong?"
”He Tengjiao had reached a secret agreement with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he thought that the Manchu Qing would withdraw to the north of the Huai River, although he did not have time to send someone to inform Donghai Town, but he thought that the Ming and Qing sides could not fight, and now listening to Zhu Yihai's words, it seems that the Qing army did not retreat.Zhu Yihai glanced at He Tengjiao, immediately looked at Zhu Yujian and said: "Zhao Guogong raised troops to outflank the rear of Yangzhou according to the agreement, but he didn't want the army of the imperial court to act according to the plan.Now Zhao Guogong went deep alone, went to cut off Azig's retreat, was surrounded by Azig's design, fell into a heavy siege, and was in a very critical situation.Now the army of the minister has crossed the river to the north and attacked Azig in the north, and I also ask Your Majesty to order the army of the imperial court to quickly go north to relieve the siege for Zhao Guogong!
”The meaning of Zhu Yihai's words is that the imperial court did not send troops as agreed, which caused Zhao Ming's lone army to be ambushed deeply, and pushed the responsibility for Zhao Ming's siege onto the imperial court and Zhu Yujian.This made many ministers on both sides immediately discuss and make a noise, and many ministers of the main battle faction frowned, many of them were already dissatisfied with the change of the direction of the march by the imperial court, and now they are even more psychologically complaining about the emperor and He Tengjiao.Zhu Yujian's face was gloomy, and he found that he led his troops to Nanjing, perhaps because he had taken a stinky move, and Zhu Yihai should have a master by his side, otherwise Zhu Yihai would not give up Nanjing, and asked him to worship Xiaoling and return to Nanjing.Now, in the eyes of everyone, Zhu Yihai has become a Gu Quan's army, bent on destroying the Qing army and recovering rivers and mountains, while he has become a sinner who has become a sinner who has fallen into a deep siege in order to fight for Nanjing, regardless of the war situation.In addition, Zhu Yujian also reacted at this time that the Manchu peace negotiation was not simple, and it may also be a calculation.Zhu Yihai saw that Zhu Yujian's face was gloomy, but he deliberately continued to plead: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong is a great duke of the state, and he has turned the tide several times, and the minister asks Your Majesty to look at Zhao Guogong's past achievements, send troops for help, and can't let the soldiers chill!"
”The muscles on Zhu Yujian's face twitched, and he suddenly said in a deep voice: "The prince doesn't have to be like this, the prince of Zhao is the pillar of the country, the general of me, how can I not save it."
The prince will go to rest first, and then I will discuss how to send troops to rescue!
”Zhu Yihai heard the words, glanced at Zhu Yujian and the ministers on both sides, he was quite satisfied with his performance today, he should have won the favor of many upright ministers in the court, as for Zhu Yujian's feelings, he didn't care much, because even if he groveled and obeyed in every way, Zhu Yujian would still want to abolish his position as the crown prince and pass it on to his son.At that moment, Zhu Yihai saluted and retired, and He Tengjiao saw that Zhu Yujian's face was not good, and waved his hand to let the minister in the account retreat.At this time, as soon as the ministers left, Zhu Yujian immediately broke out and smashed the inkstone in front of the table to the ground.Du Yinxi frowned slightly, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops, and immediately go north to reinforce Donghai Town, relieve the siege for Zhao Guogong, and annihilate Azig!"
”Zhu Yujian glanced at him, but his eyes fell on He Tengjiao, and said in a deep voice: "He Qing, I have decided to let you lead the troops!"
