Chapter 234: Why Isn't It a Jiangshan Society?
Zhu Yihai didn't want to surrender in his heart, he just didn't want to stand under the dangerous wall, he wanted to escape, escape far away, away from this endless chaos and danger, and live his life of a happy prince.
But now Zhu Yujiao suddenly told him that he should leave Shaoxing and withdraw to Hangzhou Mansion, which made him puzzled.
He even wondered if Zhu Yujiao was engaged in some conspiracy, or if he wanted to use this to expel his forces in order to completely control the small court of Shaoxing Mansion.
"Princess, why is that? Now that our army is holding on to Shaoxing Mansion, why do you want me to withdraw to Hangzhou Mansion? Don't...... The princess can't tolerate this king anymore? Zhu Yihai's tone is not good, although the princess's dignity is higher than that of the vassal king, but Zhu Yihai is higher than Zhu Yujiao after all.
Zhu Yujiao didn't care about Zhu Yihai's questioning, but sighed and said, "King Lu is too worried, this palace is in the position of the prison country, which is forced by the situation, and I never thought of staying in this position for a long time." Speaking of which, King Lu is still the uncle of this palace, how can this palace have the intention of expulsion? ”
Zhu Yujiao's eloquent words made Zhu Yihai even more puzzled, "Then why does the princess want me to withdraw to Hangzhou Mansion?" Don't...... Is this what Pro Amber means? No, this king will never go to Hangzhou, and he will be humiliated ....... ”
"I'm afraid Shaoxing Mansion won't be able to hold it."
"Huh?!"
Zhu Yujiao's sudden sentence made Zhu Yihai speechless in shock.
After a while, Zhu Yihai came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Why did the princess say that?" Aren't the post pavilions and Fenghui guarded now? ”
"Hey......." Zhu Yujiao sighed lightly, picked up the letter beside her and handed it to Zhu Yihaidao, "Lin Anbo sent someone to pass the message, although 10,000 horses returned to Shaoxing to help, but Lin Anbo has decided to continue the Northern Expedition. ”
Zhu Yihai took the letter, but he didn't read it, he trembled his hand and said, "He...... How dare he disobey the edict of the prison state? Is he trying to rebel? No, the princess should gather her ministers and punish him for disobedience and deception...... No, he should send someone to Suzhou, take over his military power, and escort him back to Shaoxing Mansion to punish ......! ”
Zhu Yihai was really stunned.
As long as Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren can lead the army back to help, Shaoxing Mansion can hold it, but suddenly, all this is shattered like a dream.
10,000 people, what role can it play?
Now although the post pavilion and Fenghui are temporarily defended, the casualties of the Ming army are huge, and Zhu Yujiao even transferred most of the last guard of Shaoxing Mansion to reinforce the post pavilion.
If you continue to fight, the casualties will get bigger and bigger.
If the Qing army attacking Wenzhou reflexively reinforced, how could Shaoxing Fu withstand a strong enemy several times its own?
Zhu Yujiao sighed and looked at Zhu Yihai silently.
Zhu Yihai gradually lowered his voice, and he suddenly realized that everything he said was probably not capable of being realized.
Today's Shaoxing Mansion is no longer the time when he was in charge of the country, Wu Zheng has a heavy army, and the entire Shaoxing Mansion except for Wang Zhiren is afraid that no one can restrain him, and even Shaoxing Mansion has his protection, punish him, and escort him back to Shaoxing Mansion? It's ridiculous!
In fact, even when he was in charge of the country, he had never been able to really restrain Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren.
"No, it's not going to work! Princess, you've got to figure it out...... Pai Zhang Huangyan...... No, Zhang Huangyan still has to guard the post pavilion and send Qian Sule to go, the Qian family has an in-law ...... with Wu Zheng. ”
"King Lu!" Zhu Yujiao stopped in a deep voice.
Zhu Yihai was stunned and looked at Zhu Yujiao in a daze.
"King Lu, Lin Anbo is not a traitor, this Northern Expedition, the recovery of Songjiang, Suzhou, Wuxi and other places, Lin Anbo has made great contributions. Compared with the return to Shaoxing Mansion, it is more important to recover Changzhou and even Yingtianfu. The stakes in this, King Lu should be clear. Zhu Yujiao said slowly.
"Yes...... What to do with Shaoxing Mansion? What about the millions of subjects in Shaoxing Prefecture? ”
Zhu Yujiao looked at Zhu Yihai worriedly and said: "This palace hates, hates why I didn't be born as a man!" King Lu is the Daming clan, and this retreat to Hangzhou Mansion can be regarded as leaving a vein for the Daming clan. You...... Let's go! ”
Zhu Yihai hurriedly said: "That...... What about the princess? ”
Zhu Yujiao said calmly: "The Ming soldiers are fighting bloodily ahead, and this palace is a prison country, so naturally they can't go. ”
"You...... You are crazy! Zhu Yihaikou shouted urgently without hesitation.
Uncle Zheng beside Zhu Yujiao scolded, "Please respect yourself Your Royal Highness King Lu!" ”
Zhu Yihai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "This king didn't mean to offend the princess, he just ...... It's just that the princess can't stay! ”
Shaoxing Mansion is obviously unable to hold on, and if Zhu Yujiao stays, it will inevitably fall into the hands of the Qing army.
The consequences of this ...... Zhu Yihai knew it very well.
Zhu Yujiao smiled sadly, she looked at her broken arm, "This palace should have died two years ago, and it is a gift from God to live for two more years." To be able to do my part for the community and the world in Shaoxing Mansion can be regarded as repaying the people of the world for my Zhu family. King Lu is assured that this palace will never fall into the hands of the Qing army alive. ”
Zhu Yujiao's words have revealed her will to die, which made Zhu Yihai's heart shake.
This time is different from the previous time, the previous time Wu Zhengbu was stranded at sea in Hangzhou and Wang Zhiren's department, and it was only one day to return to Shaoxing Mansion.
At that time, Zhu Yujiao stayed, although it was dangerous, but it was not a desperate situation.
But this time is different, Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren are both in the north, even if they return to help immediately, it may be too late, not to mention that the second department is still continuing to advance north.
In other words, unless God blesses and a miracle occurs, the fall of Shaoxing Mansion is a foregone conclusion.
At this time, there was only a retreat, retreat to Hangzhou, and use the Qiantang River as a barrier to resist the Tartars, so as to gain time and wait for Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren to complete the Northern Expedition to return to help.
But the question is, how to withdraw?
Yiting and Fenghui have already fought to a stalemate, and ordered the whole army to retreat, I am afraid that this will collapse immediately.
Only by quietly leaving with important ministers and officials can you get your wish.
But in this way, the Ming army that resisted the enemy in the two places became an outcast of the imperial court.
Zhu Yujiao is unwilling to do this, and Zhu Yihai has no right to do so now.
Now that Zhu Yujiao is a prisoner of the country, she wants to stay and stick to it, which really shocked Zhu Yihai's heart.
Zhu Yihai is really afraid, afraid of death, he is really depressed, he just wants to live, is this also a sin?
He left in frustration, feeling that he had no shame to face this niece and granddaughter who was two generations younger than himself, Zhu Yihai did not open his mouth to persuade him after all.
At this moment, Zhu Yihai had an urge to run away.
Watching Zhu Yihai leave, Uncle Zheng, who had been looking blank, knelt in front of Zhu Yujiao with a "plop".
He sobbed: "Your Highness, what Lin Anbo is worried about is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, can you die because of this." Listen to the old slave's advice, move to Hangzhou Mansion, and try to come to Japan. ”
Zhu Yujiao's face flushed, and she said sharply: "Full of nonsense! Why is this palace not a country? ”
Uncle Zheng didn't dare to answer, but just kowtowed to Zhu Yujiao with a "tom tom".
