More than a month earlier, the Zhou army had been defeated in Rangoon, and the British and French fleets and a part of the Zhou ships had escaped from the harbor and withdrawn to the Bay of Bengal.The defeated soldiers and horses informed Wu Sangui of the news of the defeat, which caused a great earthquake in the territory of Zhou.Sun Kewang knew that the Zhou army was defeated, and immediately blocked the news while finding out the situation of Wu Sangui and the Zhou army.Soon, Sun Kewang learned from the defeated army returning from the sea that Wu Sangui was very likely to cross the southeastern mountains of Burma by land and return to the territory of Zhou.Sun Kewang immediately prepared to send soldiers and horses to meet him, but at this moment, Zheng Chenggong led the fleet and arrived in the Bay of Bengal, while the ships of Britain, France and the Netherlands fled without a fight again.In the face of the menacing Ming Dynasty fleet, Sun Kewang's mentality also changed a little, and he led his troops and horses to evacuate Bengal and retreat to Delhi, and went to meet Wu Sangui's plan, which naturally stopped with the Ming army in Bangladesh.Delhi City, Zhou Guoxijing.After the defeat of Wu Sangui, the people of the entire Zhou State were in turmoil, and the local princely states also began to disobey the Zhou court.As soon as the Zhou State conquered South Asia, before it could digest and control the place, it suffered a major defeat, which can be described as a majestic sweep, its rule was in jeopardy, and the military morale of the Zhou State was also weak.In the current situation, Sun Kewang knows that he can no longer fight, and he must first stabilize the basic situation, otherwise there is a danger of losing the country, but Wu Sangui, the crown prince who left Wu Yingxiong in prison, chattered all day long that he wanted to recapture Bangladesh and respond to Wu Sangui, which was really annoying.On this day, in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhou State, Sun Kewang was standing in front of a map and lost his mind, and a guard hurriedly broke in, "Prime Minister, the prince is here!"
”Sun Kewang frowned, turned around and scolded: "Didn't you say that no one will be seen?"
”The guard bowed his head, "The lowly people can't stop the prince!"
”While speaking, there was already a commotion outside, and Wu Yingxiong, the crown prince of Zhou, had already arrived outside the study.Sun Kewang's cheeks were agitated, he put on a different look, and hurriedly walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he happened to bump into Wu Yingxiong, and exclaimed: "Why did His Highness come to the minister's mansion in person!"
”Wu Yingxiong said with a straight face: "If you don't come alone, I'm afraid you won't see the prime minister!"
”Sun Kewang said: "Your Highness wants to see the minister, just send someone to summon him, and the minister will go to the East Palace to meet him immediately." ”"Don't talk about that!"
Wu Yingxiong waved his hand, "You prepare 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you must personally recapture Bangladesh and take your father back to China." ”Sun Kewang's face sank, and he looked at Wu Yingxiong, who didn't know each other, Wu Sangui couldn't come back, didn't you just ascend the throne as an emperor?
What else is Wu Sangui for?"
Your Highness, more than a month has passed, there is no news, the situation on Your Majesty's side is probably not optimistic, most of it has been~" Sun Kewang persuaded: "Now Your Majesty is mostly fierce and auspicious, Your Highness is the prince of the Great Zhou, and it is time to consider it for the Great Zhou." ”Wu Yingxiong was furious, "King Lone doesn't care, Lone wants an army of 100,000 to avenge his father!"
”Seeing this, Sun Ke's face was gloomy, and he could only comfort him first: "Okay!
His Royal Highness will return to the palace first, and the minister still has military affairs to do, so he will consider sending troops!
”Wu Yingxiong was not satisfied, so he forced Sun Kewang to agree that he must send troops in the near future.Sun Kewang could only prevaricate, first tricked Wu Yingxiong back to the palace, and then looked at the map distraughtly.At this time, a henchman came behind him and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, I just got the news from my humble position, Zhao Ming sent a messenger over and asked to see the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister can't see him!"
”Sun Kewang heard this, raised his eyebrows, paced back and forth in the study, and then instructed: "Find a place to settle down, be secret, and meet in person!"
”The henchmen took the order and passed Sun Kewang's order to the troops on the front line, and a team of soldiers and horses immediately escorted Zhang Jiayu to Delhi.Half a month later, Sun Kewang took the guards to a private manor outside Delhi and met Zhang Jiayu from afar."
Prime Minister Sun, I have admired my name for a long time!"
Far away, Zhang Jiayu smiled."
This is Zhang Senjun next to the regent!"
Sun Kewang stepped forward with a laugh.At that moment, the two of them entered the villa, and the next person had already prepared the wine and food, and pushed the cup to change the cup and drink.The two ate and drank for a while, and tested each other for a few words, and Zhang Jiayu got straight to the point and said: "The regent rules the Ming Dynasty, and the world surrenders."
Now that Wu Sangui has been defeated, he has been captured by the regent and named the Duke of Anle.With all due respect, the general trend of the Zhou State has gone, and Prime Minister Sun Cheng is the best man in the world, so why not return to the regent. ”Sun Kewang groaned: "Wu Sangui has the grace to support me, how can I be disloyal and unjust." ”"This is a mistake, although Wu Sangui appointed you as the prime minister, but he colluded with foreign Yi to fight against the Ming Dynasty and the regent, it can be said that he was disloyal first, and Prime Minister Sun Cheng took refuge in the Ming Dynasty and served the regent, which is the great loyalty."
After a few empty words, Sun Kewang was naturally unmoved, he picked up his wine glass and said, "Come and drink, let me think about it." ”Zhang Jiayu smiled on his face, but he didn't serve his wine glass, "What else is there to think about, Wu Sangui was captured, Zhou Guo is in danger, if you don't descend now, there will be no chance in the future."
The regent said that as long as Prime Minister Sun Cheng was willing to take the Zhou State to submit to the Ming Dynasty, he would canonize Sun Cheng as the King of Zhou and support the Zhou State to continue to rule South Asia. ”Sun Kewang's eyes lit up: "This is what the regent meant?"
”"The Lord Regent said it to me himself."
Zhang Jiayu said: "When Sun Xiang went to Nanjing, the regent had a good image of Sun Xiang!"
”Sun Kewang drank a glass of wine and asked, "What does the regent or the Ming need me to do?"
”"Ceded Bengal, abrogated the treaty with Britain and France, joined the tributary system of the Ming dynasty, and maintained the caste system in India."
Zhang Jiayu said in a deep voice.Sun Kewang frowned when he heard this, if he agreed to this condition, then the Zhou State would be completely reduced to a vassal of the Ming Dynasty."
I'm thinking about it!"
Sun Kewang hesitated.Zhang Jiayu saw that Sun Kewang was a little unwilling, so he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Yes, but Sun Xiangke is faster."
I'll say something ugly, after all, it's a lucky thing to be a dog for Daming now.Now I don't know how many countries want to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but they are not qualified yet.That Modi is much more cheerful than Sun Xiang, but the regent still hopes to leave the opportunity to Sun Xiang!
”Sun Kewang's face turned blue and white for a while, and he suddenly smiled and picked up his wine glass and said: "The regent is wise, thank you for the regent's trust, for the sake of the regent and Daming, let's have a toast!"
”At that moment, Zhang Jiayu and Sun Kewang stood up, raised their wine glasses, then raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass, looking at each other and laughing.Sun Kewang said: "Sun is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, but Sun took over the Zhou State, I am afraid that some people are still not convinced, and they should be cut off, so An Le Gong~" "Understood!
”Zhang Jiayu raised his eyebrows, "The regent really didn't misunderstand Sun Xiang!"
