When the ministers in the study heard Gao Yihuan proclaim himself emperor, their faces were shocked, but they were also expected.

The Wei army swept through the north, and Gao Yihuan looked for Xiangrui everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before he became emperor.

"Your Majesty, the more this time, the more calm you must be!" Chen Zilong said in a deep voice.

Wei was looking for Xiangrui, and Nan Ming had already received the news, and they all knew that Gao Yihuan was going to be the emperor, but when he really heard the news, he was still lonely in his heart.

Zhu Cihong looked at the intelligence again with an angry expression, "The Ming court is partial to the southeast, the lord is faint and the ministers are yong, colluding with Yidi, betraying Huaxia, virtue is not matched, and luck is exhausted~~~ The lonely king drove out the Tartars and restored Huaxia~~~ There are all the ministers and the people who persuade him to advance, respect Gu as the son of heaven, and take the lord Qianli ~~~"

"How dare a thief do this?" Zhu Cihong was angry in his heart, this chaotic minister and thief, even if he called himself emperor, he insulted him by the way.

Chen Zilong said: "The Wei thief occupies the north, and according to the upstream, now called the emperor, the Wei thief will commit the Ming Dynasty." Your Majesty, this has come to this, and the minister thinks that we should be fully prepared. ”

Zhu Cihong came to his senses, he shook his head painfully, and said to everyone: "What do you think you should do?" ”

There are no two heavens and no two people, Gao Yihuan is the emperor, and Zhu Cihong is a life-and-death relationship, he will definitely take advantage of the sharp attack, and the Ming army can resist?

Chen Zilong groaned: "Right now, the imperial court only needs to hold the line of Wuchang and Huaihe, and it is not afraid of Wei thieves." Now the Qing army in Guannai was annihilated by the Wei thieves, and most of the Wei thieves could turn to the south, and it turned out that the Yasukuni Gong was guarding Wuchang and was not afraid of the Huguang Wei thieves, but after the Wei thieves increased their troops, the situation was not easy to say, so the minister believed that it was necessary to increase troops to Wuchang. In addition, just in case, Jiujiang and Anqing also have to garrison large armies, so there is no worry about the upstream. As for the Huai River line, it is necessary to send more water divisions, and our water division is far superior to the Wei thieves, as long as the river defense is firmly controlled, the Wei thieves will not be able to cross the river. The minister thought that although the Wei thief was strong, our dynasty had a favorable geographical position, and the court was not enterprising, but it was more than enough. ”

After listening to Chen Zilong's words, Zhu Cihong was still anxious in his heart, because there was no Jiangnan regime that could fight against a regime that occupied the north, Bashu, and Jingchu.

Zhu Cihong stood up and paced back and forth, "The high thief is the emperor, and he will definitely take advantage of Rui to go south soon, if he can't defeat the Wei thief, even if it is a small defeat, the Wei thief will have to inch in and attack continuously." Only by completely repelling the Wei thieves can I gain more than ten years of peace. The words of the Qing family are all in words, is there no chance for the Ming Dynasty? ”

Chen Zilong said: "Your Majesty, the enemy is strong and I am weak, now the Wei thief is targeting our court, and the minister thinks that the court can only defend, and as long as we don't make mistakes, it will be difficult for the Wei thief to defeat us." If our side persists, the two forces outside Sun Kewang and Haoge will have a chance. At that time, as long as they can win, the crisis of our dynasty will be resolved. ”

Chen Zilong meant that Jiangnan took a defensive position and instigated the Western Army and the Qing Army outside the Pass to harass and attack the Wei army.

Ruan Dacheng frowned and said, "I just don't know what the attitude of these two parties is?" ”

Chen Zilong said: "Sun Kewang has no problem over there, he has coveted Sichuan for a long time, and he has been in constant friction with Wei thieves in southern Sichuan, and his lips are cold, there is a secret agreement between us to attack and defend the alliance, and he will definitely help." As for Hauge outside the gate, I don't know if he has already lost his heart. ”

Zhu Cihong walked back and forth, and finally stopped in front of the map, and said in a deep voice: "First, the problem of food must be solved immediately. Second, the conscription should continue, third, increase the number of troops on the front line of Wuchang and Huaihe, and fourth, send people to contact Sun Kewang and Haoge. Sun Kewang is ambitious, and he is not allowed to take benefits, he will also make a move, and Hauge can give some property. ”

······

Outside the gates, Shengjing, in the palace of King Su.

Hauge learns of Bolo and Nikan from Sony, who was released back by Bolo, and takes Fulin to the north, near a port near the sea.

This made Haoge very dissatisfied in his heart, the Qing army in the Guannai was gone, and only Fulin and others escaped, which did not help the situation outside the Guanxi at all, but was a scourge.

Now that Fulin is not dead, there is still one person on his head in name, which makes Hauge very uncomfortable in his heart.

He now controls Guanwai and Korea, which is equivalent to the emperor, but he is not the emperor, he dreams of going further, but as long as Fu Lin is not dead, he has no reason to be the emperor.

Of course, he insisted on being the emperor, and no one could stop him, but it was inevitable that people would be criticized.

At this time, Hauge let out a heavy sigh, "Get up! ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave messes up the master's affairs." Sonny's ass cocked and her head resting on the ground.

Seeing this, Hauge no longer persuaded him, but asked, "Bolo let you come back, do you remember the way?" ”

At this time, the population outside the Guanxi was very small, and it was mainly gathered in the Liaohe Plain, and a large area in the north was covered by mountains and forests, and an area as large as a county was about one or two thousand people.

Such a sparse population is not easy to find even on the grasslands, let alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

Sonny recalled: "The minions were kept in the cabin, in the dark, and they sailed for a long time at sea, until they reached a bay, and then they were blindfolded, and then they turned around for several days, and the escort pulled back the blindfolds, pointed the way to the minions, and let the minions come back." The minion can only guess the general direction, and the specific location is not known. ”

Hauge frowned, "This king has given you three thousand, can you find them out." ”

Sonny kowtowed, "The minions must have turned them out." ”

Hauge bowed slightly, "What to do when you find it, do you know?" ”

"Minions, understood!" Sony kowtowed.

At this time, the two were talking, Yue Le suddenly walked in, and Haoge was a little unhappy, "What's the matter?" ”

After Yue Le was coerced by Haoge and taken to the outside of the gate, he was placed under house arrest for a long time, but he was later released and began to deal with some affairs.

Yue Le glanced at Sony, who was kneeling on the ground, suspiciously, and reported: "King Su, the information sent by the Guannei has made the high thief the emperor." ”

The muscles at the corners of Haoge's mouth twitched back, he was very unconvinced, and his mind became active, "Gao Yihuan is just a rogue, I don't want to be the emperor, and this king ~~~"

······

At the end of October, the weather has turned cooler, and the howling cold wind blows the land of Huaibei.

After Gao Yihuan became emperor, he did not return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, or Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, but came to Haizhou, where Shandong and Nanzhi meet.

At this time, the war horse galloped, and Gao Yihuan, under the urging of the cavalry, came to the edge of the sea, looking at the bay in the distance, where the mast was like a forest, and there were hundreds of sea ships.

"Your Majesty, most of these ships were captured from Shandong, and now they are gathered in Haizhou!" Huang Bingzhong pointed with a horsewhip.

Gao Yihuan looked at the sea ships and was excited, "How many warships are there?" ”

"They are all merchant ships, and there are no Ming warships, but some merchant ships are also equipped with a thousand-pound Franc machine on the bow in order to deal with pirates."

Gao Yihuan frowned, "That's not useful!" The best gunboat of the Ming army can be loaded with forty or fifty cannons, isn't it sent to death if it encounters it? ”

Saying that, Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked, "Did the Ministry of Industry send someone to come and see?" ”

Chen Mingxia saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Great Craftsman Academy have already seen that these ships can only be used as ordinary merchant ships or military ships, and cannot be transformed into gunboats. The craftsman said that the artillery vibration was very strong, and these ships were not built according to the requirements of the warship, and it was okay to install one or two cannons, but if they were loaded with dozens of guns, I was afraid that the ships would go to sea, and the cannons would not shoot for long, and the ships would fall apart. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yihuan knew that his plan to quickly increase the strength of the naval army by relying on the captured ships had failed.

At this time, Huang Bingzhong raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead, "Your Majesty, although these warships are not suitable for being the main warships, there is no problem with being ordinary warships, as for the main warships, we can build them ourselves." There is a destroyed shipbuilding workshop in Haizhou, should Your Majesty go and see it! ”

Gao Yihuan heard this, and a smile appeared on his face, understanding that he was too anxious.

There were thousands of warships of the Ming army, and there were only one or twenty warships equipped with forty or fifty guns on board, and it was impossible for each ship to be equipped with dozens of guns.

When Gao Yihuan heard that there was a shipbuilding workshop, he immediately waved his horsewhip and galloped out, "Take me to take a look!" ”
