Chapter 183: The Lust for Power
Su Guansheng is now the first cadre under Zhu Yuao. Zhu Yuao sat down and hurriedly signaled, "Su Gebu, please speak." ”
Su Guansheng immediately said with a serious face: "Has Your Highness ever forgotten Chu Zhiye?" ”
"What do you mean by Su Gebu?"
"Now half of my Ming Dynasty is under captivity, and tens of thousands of thieves are wreaking havoc in Fujing, which is really a turmoil in the society and the people are hanging upside down, and they need the holy monarch to rule the world.
"However, now that the monarch is weak and the country is suspicious, and the people's hearts are unstable, how can they suppress the enemy and restore the country?" Su Guansheng said awe-inspiringly, "In addition, the Empress Dowager Zeng took power and replaced the holy edict with Yi's decree, and there is a great tendency for the harem to listen to the government." All these are bad omens, and in the past, it was difficult for the country to continue......
"Your Highness should use your immortal resources to save all the people from fire and water, this is Your Highness's destiny, but you are to blame!"
Zhu Yuao was stunned when he heard this, and Su Guansheng's words were like a spark, rekindling his desire for power that had begun to cool.
He immediately thought that just a few days ago, he was still dreaming of reigning in the world, and even the name of the country had been thought of, in which he drove out the Jianyu, revitalized the society, praised the people, and became a generation of saints who will remain in the name of the ages.
If it weren't for Zeng Hou's sudden return to Tianxing Mansion, yesterday's enthronement ceremony would have been held for him Zhu Yuao.
And now, the woman casually made him an "auxiliary king", and wanted him to serve the infant child like this.
Is this what he wants?
No! In terms of strength, popularity, and governance, he believes that no one is more suitable for ascending to the throne than him today.
So why give it to a baby?
Su Guansheng saw that Zhu Yu's expression had changed a few times, and knew that he had said what was on his mind, so he was busy hitting the railroad while it was hot: "Forgive Your Majesty for being blunt, it is the position of His Royal Highness, the auxiliary king, and I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Zeng will also regard it as an obstruction in the throat."
Now that Fujing is in danger, she uses the power of Her Highness to stabilize the situation. When the captive army retreats and Tianxing Mansion settles down, she will definitely try her best to reduce the momentum of Her Highness. Today's transfer of Liu Ruolan out of Tianxing Mansion is an example.
"Your Highness is supposed to be a saint of the world, so why should you be trapped in the hands of a woman?"
He saw that Zhu Yuao's eyes were full of unwillingness, and finally said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has heard that since ancient times, there have been powerful ministers of Liqing Sheji, and there are people who have a good death?" ”
Zhu Yuao's pupils shrank, and he pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head with difficulty and said: "It's just that now that the general trend has come to this, the new monarch is about to be established, and the name has been decided, what should I do?" ”
Su Guansheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty has two strategies for His Highness. ”
Zhu Yuao stared at him vigorously and nodded.
"Near, Chen Wangye." Su Guansheng looked north, "In Fujing, the army of King Chen is the strongest, and it is very close to the armies of Jiangxi.
"But he has little contact with the ministers in Tianxing Mansion and has little power. If His Royal Highness promises to benefit and gain his support, it will be supported by most of the military generals in Fujing and Jiangxi. Coupled with the influence of His Royal Highness in the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty, he only needs to tell the son of the first emperor of the world that the prince carried by the former emperor is really a fake, and then ascend to the top and shout, what is the difficulty of changing the throne? ”
Zhu Yuao groaned: "But how to move King Chen's heart? ”
Su Guansheng said: "Your Royal Highness can promise King Chen to be named the 'Upper Prince', to the left of the princes, and to give Ganzhou as a domain." so that he supports His Royal Highness and does not serve the young emperor. ”
Zhu Yuao was also secretly surprised when he heard this, and said that Su Guansheng was really generous, Ganzhou, which is the largest and richest state capital in Jiangxi, accounts for 30% of Jiangxi's land. King Chen is just a clan relative with no foundation, and he can get such a heavy vassal and add the honor of 'Prince Shang', it is expected that he will definitely obey!
Su Guansheng continued: "This is the closer, but you can't rely on it too much. If there are other people who are far away, they still need to go to Guangdong in person.
"According to the estimation of the lower officials, there are at least 30,000 horses in Ding Kuichu's department. As long as the Cantonese army can be mobilized into Fujian, the effect is even greater than that of King Chen's army. In addition," a sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, "after the captives are cut off, there are tens of thousands of Cantonese soldiers stationed in Fujing, and they can still keep an eye on King Chen, so as to prevent him from having other thoughts." ”
Zhu Yuao immediately nodded and said: "This king will immediately repair a book and take it to Guangdong by the Su Gebu, this trip is the most important thing, so go to it as soon as possible!" It is still the king of Wuzhou who was promised before, and if he has a request, the Su Pavilion Department can do it cheaply. ”
He turned to Wang Yinghua and said: "Another trip to Jianning Mansion from the Ministry of Labor is the terms discussed by the Su Pavilion Department, and it must be said that King Chen and I are of the same mind." ”
Su Guansheng and Wang Yinghua waved their hands together.
"I will live up to the trust of His Highness."
……
Jianning House.
Shi Fu led an army of 7,000 to rush to Pucheng from Jian'an.
He was ranked as the first fierce general under Zheng Zhilong, and was entrusted by Zheng Zhilong with the important task of the Fujing General Army, and his command of the army was indeed quite a means.
Along the way, his troops marched quickly, and in a very orderly manner, and the march was not chaotic at all.
In addition, he knew that most of Jianning had been controlled by the Ming army, so he was very careful along the way, and constantly sent a large number of scouts to investigate, for fear that he would encounter an ambush by the Ming army.
But it was not until he was sixty or seventy miles away from Pucheng that he saw most of the Ming army, so he sent people to camp and sent people to investigate, only to know that this was the main force of the Ming army besieging Pucheng.
As Shi Lang "expected", this Ming army had loose military discipline and low combat effectiveness. However, he had already dug a large number of trenches around Pucheng and built earth and stones to defend the walls.
At first, Shi Fu did not pay attention to these Ming troops, and ordered the forward battalion to storm the enemy's position on the same day.
Unexpectedly, although this group of Ming troops only dared to hide behind the earthen wall and release their guns, and did not have the courage to step forward to engage in battle, the firearms they held were extremely fierce, and some of them could penetrate the cotton armor from a hundred steps away.
After a few rounds of rushing forwards, the Ming army was so frightened that they retreated, and then captured several trenches and an earthen wall, but it took half a day to kill and wound more than 300 people.
And Shi Fuden looked from afar, there were at least seven or eight layers of similar fortifications before and after, and he couldn't help frowning secretly, according to this way of playing, it would take the year of the monkey to reach the city of Pucheng?
It's just that no matter how he asked his soldiers to provoke and abuse, the Ming army always cowered behind the earthen wall and never came out for a decisive battle.
It wasn't until three days later that Shi Lang paid the price of nearly 1,000 casualties, finally broke through the six lines of defense of the Ming army, and almost rushed to the city of Pucheng.
"Jade Shura, it's not a matter of fighting like this!" Deng Shan glanced at the Qing army formation not far away, and said in a rough voice, "This way of fighting is safe, but it is too cowardly!" And now the thieves have come to me, and they want me to say, form a phalanx, and beat his mother* ......"
Zhen Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Deng is still so short-tempered, and he will rest for a few more days, according to His Highness's plan, it should be these days." When the time comes, you will have a good time killing enemies. ”
Deng Shan pointed behind him, "But if the thief army moves forward, I will wait for Pucheng behind me, and there will be no way to retreat." ”
"It's a bit of a problem." Zhen Zhenliu frowned slightly, and said in his heart, I don't know how Lord Gu's side is going, but the thief army is approaching the city, so it is better to beat it back.
She hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand to Sun Qi and said, "Mr. Sun Qian, let's bombard it with artillery first." ”
"Yes!" Sun Mazi was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said, "It's my turn!" ”
