Zhu Yihai was upright and in his prime, but he was forced by Zhao Ming to abdicate and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Although the emperor also has the word "emperor", it is very different from the emperor.In this regard, Zhu Yihai was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but his henchmen were either purged by Zhao Ming or exiled overseas, Zhu Yihai was no longer powerless to compete with Zhao Ming, so he could only swallow his anger and pretend to give in to save his life.In the past two years, Zhu Yihai has been living in the Chaotian Temple in the Three Mountains Gate by Mochou Lake.In order to reassure Zhao Ming, Zhu Yihai has been cultivating in the temple, never taking a step out of the view, and not being exposed to Zhao Ming's field of vision.After more than a year, Zhao Ming really seemed to forget his existence, especially when Zhao Ming set up the palace in Yangzhou and brought the cabinet and the court team to Yangzhou, the surveillance of Zhu Yihai in Nanjing was relaxed.Although Zhao Ming hasn't paid much attention to Zhu Yihai recently, Zhu Yihai has been watching Zhao Ming's every move.In Nanjing, Emperor Yongli almost didn't care about political affairs, and only knew how to enjoy himself in the palace, which made Zhu Yihai angry.Looking at Yongli and then looking at what Zhao Ming did, Zhu Yihai can conclude that when Zhao Ming forced him to abdicate and supported Zhu Youlang, it was definitely not that he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and belonged to the Shenzong lineage, but that Zhu Youlang was better controlled than him.Thinking about this, Zhu Yihai was extremely angry in his heart.Now, the more Zhao Ming's momentum and prestige become, the more anxious Zhu Yihai becomes, and he feels that the closer he is to Zhao Mingmou's usurpation.Zhu Yihai was angry that the Yongli Emperor in the palace was indisputable and became the emperor, but he didn't want to maintain the ancestral foundation, so he could only secretly accumulate strength and wanted to eradicate Zhao Ming.Earlier, Zhao Ming purged the Jianwu Imperial Court, and many of Zhu Yihai's former ministers were dismissed, exiled, and reprimanded back to their hometowns, and tens of thousands of Jiangbei troops were also dismissed and driven out of the army.As a result, many soldiers and generals lost their salaries, but they were not good at production, many people wandered around, and many people gathered in Nanjing and got in touch with Zhu Yihai.Zhu Yihai then secretly began to find and accumulate forces against Zhao Ming.At this time, Zhou Guo's fine work blended into the Chaotian Palace and got in touch with Zhu Yihai.Faced with the current situation of strong Ming and weak Zhou, Hong Chengchou suggested that Wu Sangui attack Mongolia and strengthen the power of Zhou, and on the other hand, he tried to weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty.Hong Chengchou and Zhao Ming have fought many times, knowing that it is not easy for the Zhou army to win head-on, and if they want to defeat Zhao Ming, they can only collapse from within.If you can't defeat the enemy from the outside, start from within.With this guiding ideology, Hong Chengchou began to look for targets within the Ming Dynasty, first of all, he had contact with Zhu Yulu, the king of Guangdong in the remnants of Longwu, but the towns of Longwu were under the close surveillance of Zhao Ming, and were placed by Zhao Ming on the periphery, far away from the political center, so even if they were attacked, it was difficult to pose a threat to Zhao Ming.Seeing this, Hong Chengchou set his sights on Nanjing.The first thing he thought of was Emperor Yongli, only this emperor would oppose Zhao Ming, then Zhao Ming would catch fire in the backyard, lose the righteousness of Fuming, and it would be difficult to attack the Zhou State.However, Hong Chengchou soon discovered that Emperor Yongli just couldn't hold up the wall in the mud, he only knew how to have fun, and he didn't mean to eradicate Zhao Ming and grasp the power.This made Hong Chengchou disappointed for a while, and finally focused his attention on the Emperor Taishang, Zhu Yihai.So, Zhou Guo's fine work mixed into Chaotianguan and got in touch with Zhu Yihai, and the two sides naturally hit it off.With the silver money provided to Zhu Yihai by Zhou State, Zhu Yihai gradually opened up the situation in Nanjing, and more wandering Jiangbei generals were secretly recruited back to Nanjing.This time, Moxi Mongolia threatened the Zhou State, breaking the three-legged balance at once.Moxi Mongolia contained the Zhou State, and in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from attacking the Zhou State, or the Eastern Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou made many efforts.First, it was suggested that the Zhou state should be declared a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time send envoys to the Eastern Qing Dynasty, hoping that Azig would be able to give in to Zhao Ming in order to delay the time for the Ming Dynasty to attack.Secondly, it is to contact the anti-Zhao forces within the Ming Dynasty, hoping to use the anti-Zhao forces within the Ming Dynasty to contain Zhao Ming.However, now within the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming's family is dominant and has a very high prestige, so the power of Zhao is still very weak.They may not be willing to jump out and oppose Zhao Ming for the sake of Zhou Heqing.Therefore, it is necessary for the high-level officials of Zhou State to meet with Zhu Yihai, cheer up Zhu Yihai, and dispel their concerns.In the room, a seat was set up, on which there were drinks and food, Zhu Yihai stretched out his hand and motioned for Sun Kewang to sit down, and he also sat at the table."
Sun Guoxiang, what does it mean that you Zhou persuaded me to overthrow Zhao, but I called Zhao Ming a minister?"
Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice.Sun Kewang said calmly: "Emperor Taishang, now Zhao Ming is powerful, and it is not an expedient measure to call the ministers.King Zhou was deeply favored by the emperor, and his heart was to the heart of the Ming Dynasty, which has never changed. ”Zhu Yihai sneered, he didn't believe Sun Kewang's nonsense, he and Zhou Guo and Wu Sangui were just using each other.Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou wanted him to contain Zhao Ming from within, but Zhu Yihai just wanted to use the power of Zhou to get silver money from Zhou to resist Zhao Ming and restore the rule of the Zhu family."
Don't say those nice words!"
Zhu Yihai said with a serious face: "Now that Zhao Ming wants to go on a northern expedition, if he recovers Beijing, I and your Zhou Kingdom will have no chance." ”Sun Kewang said truthfully: "Now that the Zhou State is facing the threat of Moxi Mongolia, the monarch really can't take out the troops to fight against Zhao Ming.Therefore, Zhou Guocai declared himself a vassal to Zhao Ming in the hope of delaying time. ”Zhu Yihai frowned and said: "What does Sun Guoxiang mean that Zhao Ming will attack Azig, and Zhou will betray the alliance and not help?"
”Sun Kewang groaned: "It's not that you don't help, it depends on the timing."
If Azig can hold out until the Zhou army defeats the Moxi Mongols, the Zhou army will definitely come to the aid with the victory.If Azig can't hold on, then the Zhou army can't do anything!
”Zhu Yihai's cheeks were agitated, he stood up, paced in the room, and said with a gloomy face: "Since ancient times, there are no longer a few generals who have returned to the dynasty after victory, and there are no longer a few people who have done things to abolish the establishment.Now that Zhao Ming has become the regent, one step further is to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne.If Zhao Ming defeats Azig and recovers Beijing, his prestige is in full swing, I am afraid that he will not need to return to the court, and he will be embraced by his subordinates on the way. ”Zhu Yihai walked back and forth, finally stopped, looked at Sun Kewang, and made up his mind: "Since you Zhou Guo can't do anything, then only I can do it myself."
But I have two demands!
”Sun Kewang sat upright and said solemnly: "Emperor Taishang, please speak!"
”Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice: "First, I want Zhou Guo to fund one million silver dollars, and I want it immediately.Second, after the Zhou State defeated the Moxi Mongols, they must not hesitate and must enter the war as soon as possible. ”Sun Kewang frowned and thought for a moment, if Zhu Yihai could make a move and contain Zhao Ming, it would be a good thing for Zhou Guo."
Good!
Emperor Taishang's request, Zhou Guo can agree!
”Sun Kewang said.Zhu Yihai said: "There is no evidence for empty words, and you need to make a seal of the alliance!"
”When Sun Kewang heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, which means that once it fails, this alliance may fall into the hands of Zhao Ming, and the Zhou State will definitely usher in revenge at that time.These days, what he saw and heard in Jiangnan, Sun Kewang was actually afraid of Zhao Ming in his heart, but he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and he was not willing to be lonely, so he hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand and said, "Take a pen and paper." ”At that moment, Sun Kewang wrote a letter of alliance and copied a copy, and the two parties signed and sealed it separately.Zhu Yihai accepted one and asked, "When will the silver dollar be delivered?"
”Sun Kewang said, "One million silver dollars is not a small amount, and it is too late to transport the cash, and it is easy to be discovered.With a silver ticket, Nanjing's silver horn will also be vigilant. ”Zhu Yihai said: "This is easy to do.My people have several cotton spinning workshops, and you can pretend to be Qin merchants, come and place orders, and transfer the silver. ”Sun Kewang thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible!"
”Zhu Yihai finally showed a smile on his face, sat down again, picked up his wine glass and said, "I hope Sun Guoxiang will move faster!"
”Sun Kewang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then got up and said: "It's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I'm leaving!"
”On the street, two military intelligence officers followed Sun Kewang's carriage from a distance, shuttling through the crowded streets.When passing through an alleyway, several taels of vehicles loaded with goods suddenly came out of the alley, blocking the sight of the two people.At this moment, Sun Kewang suddenly came out, got into the carriage, and suddenly whispered: "Go back to the dock!"
”The wagon passed, and the carriage reappeared in the field of vision of the two fine workers, and the two followed for a while, and found that Sun Kewang's carriage turned around in Nanjing, and then returned directly to the dock and boarded the big boat, and the two couldn't help but wonder for a while.
