Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Prince's Momentum

As long as the prince digests this political legacy, the prince will have enough foundation even if he is far away in the South Seas and in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the deepest foundation is Jiangnan with Nanjing as the center.

After all, Cao Nai has been here for the longest time.

Of course.

There are pros and cons to everything.

The reason why Cao Nai did this also had his own purpose.

He accepted Yu Qian's suggestion to spend his mind on the prince, and this trick at this moment was Yangmou. But I don't know if the prince has thought of it.

Politicians, in many cases, do not represent their own opinions, but represent the opinions of a considerable number of people behind them, that is, so many people who oppose the new law have joined the prince's disciples and become the main constituent force under the prince's command.

So the prince's political opinion, whether to take care of the thoughts of the people below.

Otherwise, who gave the crown prince his life?

Of course, this may not be certain, it depends on the prince's wrist.

Whether it was the crown prince who reformed this group of people, or whether the opinions of this group of people influenced the opinions of the prince.

Cao Nai can't see it.

We can only wait for the future.

At this moment, the prince didn't know that Cao Nai still had this thought in his heart, and he was very surprised because he was hit by this gift bag at this moment.

The prince has only one mind at the moment.

It is to keep his position.

Everything else, all in the back.

Although Zhu Qizhen did not persecute the prince much. Knowing that the prince is far away in Nanyang itself makes the prince have little foundation in the imperial court.

The crown prince had countless nightmares, that is, Zhu Qizhen died, he returned to Beijing to succeed to the throne, and halfway through, he heard that the new monarch had ascended the throne and ordered him to commit suicide. Or simply ambush him halfway and kill him.

What's more, he came to Beijing and was directly imprisoned.

And so on.

The crown prince didn't think that far at all.

With this political force, as long as it can be controlled in his hands, the prince's righteous name at home, even if the center changes, the prince has the confidence to make other choices.

You must only know that the prince is not a weak scholar, he has led troops to fight, although he is not as good as the king of Yili in the northwest. But it has also experienced war.

It is simply impossible to confront the imperial court with Jiaozhi Nanyang. But that's not the case today.

Therefore, he didn't feel the trap that Cao Nai buried in this gift bag at all.

After the prince said goodbye to Cao Nai, he immediately called Liu Daxia over when he returned to his palace and gave the roster to Liu Daxia.

When Liu Daxia saw it, he immediately got up and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, you can only control this force in your hands, and the general trend has been achieved." ”

Whether Liu Daxia guessed Cao Nai's thoughts or not, only Liu Daxia himself knows.

The prince said: "Liu Qing, this is one thing

The love will be handed over to you, I will accompany my father in Jiangnan for a few months, and during this period of time, you will control these people in your hands. ”

Liu Daxia said: "The minister understands. ”

It is impossible to pull people onto the ship with a mere roster, and this roster is just a trick brick at best, and it still takes effort to really get these people on the prince's ship.

However, few people can refuse the prince's wooing.

After all, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is very different from the crown prince of other dynasties, and there is little possibility of abolition.

If you invest in the door before the crown prince ascends the throne, it is a futures that will be cashed out.

It can be described as a strange commodity.

This work of visiting and winning people's hearts will naturally not be done by the prince himself.

The prince arranged the work here, but after two days, Zhu Qizhen ordered him to go to Suzhou by boat. The prince needs to be by Zhu Qizhen's side.

The distance from Nanjing to Suzhou is not too far, and there is the same waterway.

It doesn't take long to get past it.

Zhu Qizhen sat on a dragon boat all the way.

This dragon boat was also temporarily transformed with a warship, after all, the dragon boat left at the Longjiang pier had already decayed many years ago and could no longer be used.

Zhu Qizhen went south along the canal, looking at the surrounding scenery, and sighed in his heart for a while.

He could see that although the local officials had tried their best to cover it up and did not know how much work had been done, the traces of the war were not so easy to remove.

Zhu Qizhen can easily see that there are many black traces, which are all traces of the fire.

Rebelling everywhere, killing people and setting fires, this is a common thing.

Some houses have owners, and they have been repaired for a period of time, but some houses have no owners, and this kind of ownerless house is still the same as it was back then.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen also has to see it. Jiangnan is Jiangnan after all, and it recovered very quickly, and it was Zhu Qizhen who deliberately looked for this kind of trace to find it.

If you don't deliberately look for it, you won't find it at all.

It seems that this kind of flowery and flowery appearance is the true color of Jiangnan.

Zhu Qizhen did not arrive in Suzhou, and the civil and military officials in Suzhou had already greeted him from afar.

These people were headed by Wang Shu, Chen Yue and others.

It's just that at this moment, Chen Yue is quite uneasy in his heart.

There are two reasons for his uneasiness.

First, he has a ghost in his heart.

The Jiangnan Rebellion has never ended.

It stands to reason that when this mess is settled, it should have been determined long ago who has made merit and who has been promoted, and who has been demoted. But except for the generals who directly participated in the battle, the rest are undecided.

This shows that the Jiangnan Rebellion is not over politically.

Second, Zhu Qizhen is too loud to go south this time.

How big is it?

The big boat that Zhu Qizhen was riding had blocked the canal, and there were more than 100 before and after

Only large and small ships followed, a considerable number of them from the sailors, the gun jackets were lifted, and the guns were in the sun, emitting a metallic sheen.

Secondly, there is the infantry.

When Zhu Qizhen entered the city in Nanjing, he made a big fanfare, and the army followed the holy car through the city, which made the people of Nanjing see a lively scene. And this trip to Suzhou, the momentum is better than before, on both sides of the canal, there are large groups of cavalry foot soldiers, tens of thousands of people, a large number of baggage are placed on the boat, and the infantry cavalry that does not carry the baggage is even more powerful.

The armor is under the sun, which is an interpretation of what it means to show off your might. 、

Countless armor soldiers were silent as if they were machines, but under the command of the officer, they headed south.

Overall, the firearms rationing rate for these strokes was not too high.

This is also the purpose of Zhu Qizhen's southward journey this time.

Zhu Qizhen is here to deter Jiangnan.

Let the world know that even if there is silver in Jiangnan, the knife is still in the hands of the imperial court.

It's just that although firearms are already the mainstream configuration in the Ming army, quite a few people in Jiangnan may not understand the power of firearms.

All they could understand was the sword soldiers.

So when Chen Yue saw this posture, he was naturally a little apprehensive in his heart.

He was certainly not afraid of these soldiers. After all, he is a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, and these Qiu Ba, no matter how much he kicks his nose in the face, he doesn't dare to do anything to him.

Chen Yue is worried about the logic behind Zhu Qizhen's actions.

"It seems that this time we are going to do a big deal in Jiangnan's case today." Chen Yue only felt that a steady stream of bitter water was coming out of the base of his tongue. Secretly said: "I don't know if I can get out of it this time." ”

Chen Yue and Wang Shu were directly responsible for the Jiangnan Rebellion.

If someone needs to take responsibility for the Jiangnan Rebellion, it is one or both of him and Wang Shu.

How could this not make Chen Yue worried.

He couldn't help but take a look at Wang Shu.

But seeing Wang Shu standing on the side, he was very frank, and he didn't see the slightest worry.

It's not that Wang Shu didn't think of this, but he was already ready to take responsibility. He also believed that he was responsible for the occurrence of the Jiangnan Rebellion.

He didn't have the idea of avoiding it, so he could be frank and open, and before he came, he had already prepared a lot of documents, even if the emperor ordered him to be imprisoned, it would not prevent the later ones from taking over the work.

Of course, he actually has a trace of confidence in his heart.

After all, he came out of the imperial front, and he didn't have any dealings with the emperor, so he estimated that even if he had to deal with it, it wouldn't be too heavy, and at least his life would be worry-free.

As for wealth and fame, it's just a passing thing.

The two of them were waiting with their own hearts, but they heard someone come to deliver the decree: "Xuanqin sent Wang Shu, and Chen Yue, the governor of Jiangsu, came on the ship to meet him, and the rest of the officials boarded the ship to accompany him." ”

Wang Shu and Chen Yue immediately boarded the boat, and then climbed the rope ladder to the dragon boat.
