The soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou left Hangzhou and marched along the coast, stretching for dozens of miles.

When the August festival is in August, the weather is hot, and the soldiers and civilians go south, every day they walk, it is very hot, when the soldiers and civilians go to Wenzhou, there are thousands of people who have died of heat stroke.

Wang Yan's five-battalion army is no longer what it used to be, and the elites who used to be well-dressed and armored are now all **** upper body, hanging their heads.

When Wang Yan went out of Yangzhou, he had selected the best armor for the army, but most of them were cotton armor, and now he went to the south of the sky, the climate was hot, and the cotton armor was not only useless, but became a burden, so that the soldiers walked alone and had no appearance of the army.

When Wang Wei, He Gang and others saw this, they were very anxious, but Wang Yan was not in the army, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

This Japanese army and civilians were rushing to the boundary of Wenzhou Prefecture, and the one-eyed Qianhu Dai Zhifan, who had opened the road in front, rode back to the Chinese army on horseback, and said Wang Weidao: "Commander, Hou Ye escorted His Royal Highness the Tang King to Wenzhou, and was waiting for the general to go to the palace." ”

When Wang Wei heard this, his face was immediately overjoyed, "Zhifan can go to inform others, and he will arrange to explain it, so he immediately went to Wenzhou." ”

Not long after, Wang Wei met with He Gang, Qu Congzhi, and Wang Zhangjue, and finally decided to let He Gang, who knew the military affairs, stay, and Zhou Zhiwei assisted him and continued to lead the army and the people forward, while Wang Wei took the generals and a battalion of Zhongyi and rushed to Wenzhou.

Wang Yan protected the Tang King and others, because they got the war horses of the Qing army, so that the journey that originally took seven or eight days was completed in four days and entered the city of Wenzhou.

Wenzhou's proximity to Fujian and its proximity to the sea led to the influence of the Zheng clan in Fujian, so officials did not heed Azig's appeasement and remained in the city to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

King Tang and his entourage entered Wenzhou City, and the officials learned that they immediately came to visit, arrange accommodation, and prepare food, so that everyone who had been sleeping in the open all the way could finally calm down a little.

After Wang Yan entered the city, he arranged for the three daughters to stay, and asked the Wenzhou officials, and learned that the Yangzhou military and civilians had just entered the Wenzhou territory, and it would take a day or two to reach the Fucheng, so he wrote a letter and dragged people to Yangzhou to the military and civilians, and invited the generals to come to discuss major matters.

At this time, the king of Tang washed up with his ministers, and after eating, he invited Wang Yan to discuss the current countermeasures, and Wang Yan admonished: "Although His Royal Highness was elected by Lord Zuo and the ministers as the superintendent, when he was in Quzhou, he was unprepared, everything was simple, and the world did not know. Now it is urgent to make a mistake, it is to re-hold the ceremony, His Royal Highness ascends the altar to worship the sky, and proclaims to the world, so that the Quartet will be interested in the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, know that the country has a new master, and stabilize the hearts of the people, so as to compete with the Qing court! ”

"Good!" When the ministers heard this, they nodded their heads and saluted: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

At that moment, the king of Tang invited the prefect of Wenzhou, ordered the Ministry of Rites to write Zuo Maodi, and the servant Huang Daozhou, mobilized Wenzhou resources, prepared the ceremony of supervising the country, and then let the ministers retire to rest, but left Wang Yan alone, and gave him a seat to talk.

Before the Han Sun Shutong customized, the king and the minister sat on the road, and ruled the arch, before the reform of the Yuan Yelu Chucai, the minister saw the king, and it was okay to do it, only a few cases had to be bowed, to the Ming Dynasty, Taizu abolished the prime minister, so that the imperial power was dominant, and under the influence of the Yuan Dynasty, the minister saw that the emperor had to kneel and worship, and then got up to play, and the Qing in the north, not only knelt down in everything, but also said that he must be called a "slave", kneeling and speaking, the emperor let go, in order to "thank the master Longen" to bow his head and stand up, and his back can not stand up straight.

Tang Wang gave the throne and Wang Yan sat opposite each other and talked, its courtesy, its grace is self-evident, "The Qing family said in Lishui, stay in a safe place, and then talk with the king." Now to enter Wenzhou, out of the pursuit of the captives, the king will go to the altar to worship the sky, the treasure of the country, the Qing family should have something to teach the king! ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but sit upright, "Your Highness is eloquent and talented, and you will definitely be able to take on the great task of Zhongxing, and the ministers will think hard about the four strategies for Your Highness to adopt." ”

"This king also has some countermeasures in his heart, the Qing family can try to say it, and it depends on whether you and I can have the same mind!" Tang Wang said.

"The minister's four strategies, one of which is to use Shegongming to eliminate party disputes! Since Wanli, the party has fought for the country, the Nanjing court died in Donglin, and the Ma party has also disputed! If the party struggle is not eliminated, His Royal Highness and the ministers will not be allowed to settle in a corner of the country! Wang Yan said.

"This policy of the Qing family is very much in line with the king's intentions!" Hearing this, King Tang nodded and said: "If the party struggle is not eliminated, the captives cannot be driven away!" Today, the fall of the two capitals and the injury of the two emperors are all due to this! This king is determined to be flat, because of the name of the party, no matter whether it is the eunuch party, or Donglin, the past is not to blame, as long as the fight against the northern captives, this king will be hired! ”

"Your Highness is wise!" When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but admire, and then continued: "The four strategies of the ministers, the second is to reduce the suffering of the people, the small greed must be roded, and the big greed will be killed." Since Wanli, the rule of officials has gradually become corrupt, ten officials and nine greedy, and now is the time for the survival of the family and the country, it is time to rectify the rule of officials, severely punish corruption, so as to clean up the hearts of the people! ”

"This strategy is also what this king thinks, and the Qing family and this king have a heart-to-heart connection!" The king of Tang thought so, and then said solemnly: "The Nanjing court has an annual income of more than 5 million, and most of them have been swallowed up by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Wherever this king is in control, this king will also abolish the excesses and miscellaneous taxes in order to win the hearts of the people! ”

"Your Highness can accept this, and the people are lucky!" Wang Yan continued: "The four strategies of the ministers, the third is to open up the source to help the poor. His Royal Highness was newly established, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be raised, and the war was imminent, so that the treasury was empty, and it was impossible to make ends meet, and once it was critical, it was bound to be stretched. Now the imperial court has lost the north, and lost the south and Zhejiang Province, the tax will inevitably not be able to support the court, and the law of throttling can not cure the roots, only open source, in order to solve the current dilemma. The minister heard that there are many ships of maritime trade today, and if His Royal Highness can send warships, control the port waters, set up checkpoints, and improve the tax system, then the imperial court will immediately have an additional source of taxes! ”

"The soldiers of the northern captives are menacing, this king wants to train the army, and if he wants to command the world, he must have money, and the words of the Qing family have won the heart of this king." Tang Wang sighed, and then thought: "Since the Longqing switch, the imperial court has neglected the management of the sea, and now the benefits of maritime trade are only enjoyed by the Zheng family in Fujian. ”

"Your Highness is thoughtful, now that the imperial court has just been established, the reason is to connect with the Zheng family, you can't force it too quickly, this policy can be discussed later!" Wang Yan nodded, he also knew that the Zheng clan was huge, and it was necessary to become an independent kingdom.

"Now Zheng Sen, the son of the Zheng family, has the court in his heart, and the king wants to move his heart with loyalty and filial piety, so that it can be used by the king, or it can be said that Annanbo will return to the court, and the court will have a foothold!" After pondering, King Tang continued: "You and I can put down this policy first, and the Qing family can speak of the last policy!" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but straighten up, and said in a deep voice: "The minister's last strategy is probably not tolerated by the courtiers, but once it is implemented, the court will immediately have 300,000 more strong soldiers, and the dilemma of the dynasty having no soldiers to use will be solved immediately!" ”

"The Qing family's strategy, but I want to recruit the rest of the thieves!" When Tang Wang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "The defeat of Nanjing began with Lianyu Pingkouye!" Now my Ming henchmen are in captivity and not in thieves, if you take an edict and collect 300,000 people, this is a good policy! ”

"Your Highness is a great master!" When Wang Yan heard the words of the Tang King, his face couldn't help but be happy, "The minister is willing to preside over the matter of appeasement, if the appeasement is successful, the minister can unify the army, attack Jingzhou and Wuchang, and then go east along the river, and join the army of Fujian and southern Jiangxi to join Jinling, then the big thing will be done!" ”
