Chapter 688: Your Highness Is Too Naïve


Because of the consequences of the ambush of Sun Kewang by the Longwu Imperial Court, it is very likely to cause a change in the general trend of the world.In order to prevent the Manchus from seizing Sichuan, Zhao Ming decided to do his best to contain the Manchus from entering Sichuan after consulting with his subordinate think tanks.Although Xie Qian won a great victory outside the Guan, annihilated 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian elites, and injured the vitality of the Manchurian headquarters, the Manchu Qing still had more than 100,000 troops outside the Guan.In addition, if Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Xichuan soldiers would split, and the Qing army would still have a chance to kill people everywhere and capture Bashu.This time, the great victory outside the border will be an opportunity for the entire Han forces, but if they can't grasp it and let the Manchus recover, the Manchus will still have an advantage.Therefore, Zhao Mingcai wanted to take advantage of this great victory to cause an imbalance of forces in Manchuria, and try his best to promote civil strife in Manchuria and avoid a change in the general trend of the world.For this reason, in addition to deciding to take advantage of the great victory outside the Guan, increase troops in Liaodong, control the Liaohe Plain, attack Eastern Mongolia, and obtain the source of war horses and pastures, Zhao Ming intended to take advantage of the imbalance of the internal forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, contain the forces loyal to Shunzhi, and give Azig the opportunity to launch a rebellion in a vain attempt to provoke internal strife in the Manchu Dynasty.When the Ming army was able to recover Nanjing, it was largely due to the Manchu internal strife, Dolgon was killed, and both sides were busy seizing power.The Longwu Dynasty turned from a rainbow to a decline, also because of an internal strife.Therefore, provoking internal turmoil in one force is undoubtedly the best means to resolve and weaken that force.At this point, Zhao Ming had to admire Hong Chengchou, if he hadn't given advice to the Manchus at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty would still be a whole, but now it has been torn apart.Shanghai, Huangpu River Wharf.At this time, the river was full of warships, and Zhao Ming came to Shanghai from Hangzhou, preparing to rush to Liaodong before the monsoon turned, and pursued the victory to give the Manchu Qing a heavy blow.On the Huangpu River, the masts are like forests, and the people and coolies on the wharf are carrying boxes of goods and bags of grain onto the ship, and groups of Wu Yuejun soldiers are lining up in a long line and boarding the ship.Zhao Ming stood by the river, and the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, Yan Qiheng turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Your Highness!"

Zhao Ming turned around when he heard the words and said with a smile: "Mr.

Yan is back, how is the situation?"

”Yan Qiheng said with a serious expression: "Returning to His Royal Highness, the minister did not disgrace his mission and persuaded His Royal Highness King Lu, but~" "But what?

”Zhao Ming asked.Yan Qiheng said in a deep voice: "However, His Royal Highness King Lu insists on withdrawing Jiangbei soldiers and horses from Liaodong!"

”Zhao Ming frowned when he heard this, "Didn't you have to discuss?"

”Although Zhao Ming had many means to keep the Jiangbei soldiers in Liaodong, if Zhu Yihai and others sent a letter and insisted that Li Yuanyin, Ruan Jin and others return to Jiangbei, Zhao Ming would block them, but it would cause turmoil in the Jiangbei army, affect the battle, and even mutiny.Therefore, if Zhu Yihai, Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen insist, for the sake of future cooperation, Zhao Ming can only return it.But then again, Zhu Yihai is so eager to take back the Jiangbei soldiers and horses, it seems that he can't wait.Yan Qiheng said: "It can be discussed, but His Royal Highness King Lu, you want to bloom bullets, as well as cast ** paper and craftsmen!"

”Zhao Ming frowned, and groaned for a while, "Drawings and craftsmen can't give flowering shells, if they want, you can send them some artillery and a small amount of flowering shells!"

”The flowering bomb is Wu Yuejun's killer weapon, it is a secret in the army, Yan Qiheng didn't expect that Zhao Ming would actually give it away.Zhao Ming naturally had his own plans, he sent cannons and gave fewer shells, and in the future, if the Jiangbei Army wanted shells, he had to continue to find Wu Yueguo to buy them.In addition, the provision of these artillery pieces and shells can also prevent Jiangbei from self-development.Moreover, Zhao Ming can also control the strength of the Jiangbei Army through trading, and he can cut off the supply at any time.Since Zhu Yihai was deposed, and Zhao Ming set up his own portal, the power of the Zhejiang system has been greatly reduced, Zhao Ming does not want it, the Zhejiang system is too weak, so he is willing to give some support."

Your Highness!"

Yan Qiheng saluted with a serious face, "The minister has something and wants to inform His Highness." ”Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Sir, you can speak out. ”Yan Qiheng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, during this trip to Jiangbei, the minister found that His Royal Highness King Lu may have a plan!"

”Zhao Ming said coldly: "Sir, do you mean that His Royal Highness King Lu wants to rebel?"

”Yan Qiheng hurriedly confessed: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just makes a bold guess."

The minister found that His Royal Highness King Lu was not enthusiastic about resisting the Qing Dynasty, and blindly hoped that the Jiangbei Army in Liaodong could withdraw to Jiangbei, hoping to get flowering bombs from us to enhance the strength of the Jiangbei Army.Since King Lu is absent-minded against Qing, he is anxious to recruit back the Jiangbei Army, and he asks for flowering bombs, what is the plan?

”King Lu was unwilling to be deposed as the prince and wanted to rebel, but Zhao Ming already knew.He didn't want to rebel, but he wanted to rebel.Zhao Ming pressed Li Yuanyin and did not let the Jiangbei army withdraw to Jiangbei, in fact, the purpose was to drag King Lu and not want him to rebel so quickly.Now, King Lu has been deposed because of the position of the prince, and his heart has been hit, and he has a knot, and his energy is all focused on how to seize what should belong to him.Zhu Yihai's willingness to resist the Qing Dynasty was not high, which just made Azig relax his vigilance and not affect Zhao Ming's layout, as for Zhu Yihai to rebel, Zhao Ming must suppress and delay.Zhao Ming is now going to provoke infighting in the Manchu Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty infighting first, it will affect Zhao Ming's plan.Therefore, Zhu Yihai can raise troops, but not now, he must wait until Zhao Ming defeats the Manchu Qing Dynasty and frees his hands, and when Zhu Yihai raises troops and fights with the Longwu Dynasty, Zhao Ming can use a mediation posture to deal with Zhu Yihai and the Longwu Dynasty.In this regard, Zhao Ming's method is very simple, that is, not to return the Jiangbei soldiers for the time being, the more than 10,000 Jiangbei soldiers in Liaodong are the elite of the Jiangbei Army, and if this army does not return to Jiangbei, Zhu Yihai will not have enough strength to attack Nanjing.Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand, "Mr.

Yan is too worried!"

His Royal Highness King Lu was abolished by the emperor, and he was somewhat resentful in his heart, but His Royal Highness is a human being, and he can guarantee that His Royal Highness will definitely focus on the overall situation!

”Yan Qiheng deliberately reminded Zhao Ming, but listening to Zhao Ming's words, Zhao Ming seemed to trust Zhu Yihai very much and didn't believe his words.After all, Yan Qiheng did not have evidence that Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was going to rebel, so it was impossible to rely on speculation to insist that Zhu Yihai was going to rebel.For a while, he was a little speechless, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhao Ming had a righteous request, Zhu Yihai's intentions were already obvious, but Zhao Ming still believed Zhu Yihai.No wonder, His Royal Highness will have the defeat of Jiangbei back then, no, His Highness is too benevolent and too affectionate, but others don't talk about it, as a courtier, he should keep an eye on His Highness more, and he can't let those sanctimonious people harm His Highness again."

I'm too worried!"

Yan Qiheng bowed and saluted.Zhao Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. doesn't have to worry about Jiangbei's affairs.The parliamentary government can act as it is. ”()
