When approaching Linqing City, next to the wharf on the side of the canal, nearly 10,000 soldiers lined up in a neat formation, waving flags, and standing in a forest of swords and guns.

Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu, Yang Yanchang and others, except for Li Guo on the front line of Tongguan and some generals in important posts, the main figures of the Shun line have basically arrived.

At the beginning, Wang Yan only had 30,000 people, but later accepted more than 100,000 Shun troops in Huguang, which turned the tide of the war in Huguang in one fell swoop. Later, although Wang Yan vigorously supported Dai Zhifan, Liu Shun and others, and incorporated a lot of Qing army surrenders, as well as the Great Western Army, as well as the people of the Lu Wang and Jiangxi families, but the proportion of the Shun line in the Ming army accounted for at least about 30%.

This point can be known from the names of a large number of generals such as Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, Liu Tiren, etc., and the proportion of Shun in the Ming army.

Wang Yan looked for prestige, and saw these generals standing on the dock, and when they saw Wang Yan's boat coming, they turned over and dismounted one after another, ready to wait.

According to the current laws of the Ming Dynasty, their behavior of leaving the station without permission and privately mobilizing troops for the sake of authorization is, to put it seriously, to be killed, but what they are going to do now is a major matter in itself to kill the head of the Zhu clan, so naturally they will not care about this matter.

At this time, Wang Yan looked at them, his face couldn't help but sink, I have to say that the Shun family and the Wang family gave him great pressure, but fortunately, the Wang family also knew that if the generals supported him, then the Shun family would grow rapidly in the future, which was not what the Wang family wanted to see, so Wang Fuzhi and others, as well as the official gentry of the Chu faction, did not participate, but let the Shun family throw stones to ask for directions.

Thankfully, the civil officials and generals behind Wang Yan were not of the same mind, but their disagreement was only on how the new dynasty should be established, when it would be established, and who would receive the greatest merit and benefits.

At present, it is indeed a fact that there are more and more people forcing Wang Yan, and it has reached this point, according to most people's thoughts, it is time to replace it.

Wang Yan also understood the thoughts of these people in his heart. However, the time is still early, he has come to the present step by step, how can he obey the will of others because someone forced him, people still have to be a little persistent.

This may be a bit selfish, more about wanting to realize its own value, but history needs people like him, and someone has to start and make changes.

The behavior of the obedient system was expected by Wang Yan, but the thoughts of the Wang family made Wang Yan feel a feeling of being alone and groping in the dark.

This made him a little sad, whether to stick to his own ideals or to fulfill the wealth of others, Wang Yan was also very shaken, but it was still early, why give up so quickly?

From the change of Qingzhou to the present, he has fought out step by step, how difficult it is, and how about fighting again?

Now, he is only a few years old, and he will live a little longer, at least thirty years, and in these thirty years, he counts, why not give it a try? If he doesn't do it, how will he know the result?

Lone is not dead, and when Lone is dead, if it doesn't work, let you flood the sky, but during this time, whoever wants to fight, then fight, the emperor wants to fight, then accompany him to fight, the minister wants to fight, then accompany him to fight, let King Gu be a living Cao Cao.

Thinking of it, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed under huge pressure now, but the most difficult times have come, and now he still has a lot of cards, what is it?

However, he has some ideas, and now he can't show them, at least not in front of the Wang family and the Shun family, who want him to be the emperor, because he can't talk about any ideals with the laity, but when facing Du Yinxi, Su Guansheng and others, he has to be like an establishment faction, and he needs to maneuver in it.

Wang Yan suddenly turned his head and said unhappily: "Let them get on the boat, the lonely king will not enter Linqing." ”

Lu Shikui had been standing behind Wang Yan, looking at his back, and when he heard the order, he hurriedly clenched his fists and promised, and then jumped from the big boat to the small boat, and slowly reached the shore.

Gao Yigong and the others saw him and hurriedly greeted him, "Hongxi, where is Your Highness?" ”

Lu Shikui glanced at a few people, stopped talking, and sighed before he sighed: "Governor, His Highness asked you to go on the boat to see him, but His Highness did not get off the boat!" ”

Gao Yigong couldn't help but glance at Liu Fangliang next to him when he heard this, and the generals behind him were also a little panicked.

They heard that several scholars in the cabinet had come to the north and wanted to prevent King Taishan of Chu from sealing Zen, so they went to Linqing to greet them, and wanted to take Wang Yan to go to Mount Tai by land through Jinan to avoid a few bachelors.

Although the Shun system accounts for a large proportion of the Ming army, Wang Yan's control over the army is actually still very strong, especially the middle and lower-level generals, many people can be regarded as Wang Yan's protégés, and the Shun department does not dare to be tough, so they mainly build momentum, so that Wang Yan feels that the world wants him to usurp, shake him, and then find an opportunity to wrap the yellow robe, and the big thing will be done.

Along the way, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would get off the boat, go to the prefecture and county to appease the people who had just been annexed, meet the gentry, and declare the policy of the imperial court, so that order in the north could be restored as soon as possible.

Linqing is an extremely rich city in Shandong, and the king of Chu suddenly did not go down, which made Gao Yigong and others nervous, it seems that their affairs, the king of Chu knows.

After all, this matter is their own opinion, and whoever is persecuted will not be happy, but they are not all for themselves, His Royal Highness is the emperor when he ascends to the great treasure, and they are also for His Highness's good.

In the current situation, they can't snatch the king of Chu off the boat, Gao Yigong was silent for a while, then handed over the horse whip and weapons to the guards, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's follow Hongxi to see His Highness!" ”

Seeing this, the other people could only disarm their weapons, and the group got on the boat, and then waited for the boat to get close to Wang Yan's boat before going up the ladder.

Wang Yan's ship was a three-story building ship with a large hull, and Wang Yan had already returned to the cabin at this time.

Several people were led into a particularly large cabin, in which Nanmu chairs were placed on both sides, Wang Fuzhi and several officials sat on both sides, and Wang Yan sat in the middle hall with a calm face, and the whole layout was like entering a festival hall.

Seeing this, Gao Yigong and the others hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wang Yan together, "I'll see Your Highness!" ”

Wang Yan didn't let them get up, just glanced at them, and then said in a cold voice: "You are not small, you leave your post without permission, and you still come with a large army, there is no loneliness in your eyes, and there is no court." ”

Several people listened, bowed their heads and were silent for a while, Wang Yan's prestige today, they were still in awe in their hearts, but things have come to this point, what should be said is still to be said, Gao Yigong suddenly kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, how can I not take Your Highness to heart, I am waiting for this time to come for the great things of Your Highness!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fangliang also knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the generals and soldiers in the army all think that Your Highness is ······."

"That's it! Keep it in mind, you are coming? This can make the lonely king feel at ease, how to make the lonely heart feel at ease? Wang Yan suddenly broke out.

Gao Yigong was stunned when he heard this, he had been stationed in Nanjing for a long time, and he understood more, so he reacted immediately, and then his face turned white.

Liu Fangliang didn't understand what Wang Yan meant, he hurriedly explained. "Your Highness, that's to give Your Highness a boost!"

"Your Highness's recovery of Shenjing, Desheng is returning to the dynasty, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we are all willing to follow His Highness and support His Highness!"

Wang Yan waved his hand, and when he saw them explaining, he sighed, and then changed his tone and said in a low voice, "The Lone King knows what you want to say and what you want to do, but this matter is not as simple as you think, but the Lone King will give you an explanation, you will stay on the ship first, and after three days, Lone will give you a satisfactory answer!" ”

After saying that, Wang Yan got up and left, leaving Gao Yigong and the others, Li Laiheng couldn't help but be a little frightened, and wanted to say, but Wang Fuzhi stood up and said, "Three days later, the army happened to arrive in Tai'an, since His Royal Highness said that he would give an explanation to several generals, why not wait for three days?" ”

Tai'an Mansion is located in the south of Jinan, on the east side of the Grand Canal, and Mount Tai is located in Tai'an Prefecture.

In the attack on Beijing, the army led by Wang Yan was mainly the East Route Army led by Dai Zhifan, including Liu Shun's Zhongwu, Zhang Mingzhen's Zhenwu Left Army, and Li Yuanyin's Wuwei Right Army, and did not bring Shun's men and horses to fight Beijing.

This is mainly because the Shun army captured Beijing and forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, and after Wang Yanguang recovered Shenjing, he would inevitably have to carry out sacrifices, and Shun would feel uncomfortable.

He left Gao Yigong and the others on the ship, also worried that if Shun caused a bigger incident.

At this time, Wang Yan already knew that Du Yinxi and the others had already gone north, and it was estimated that they would intercept him in Tai'an and let him not climb Mount Tai, so he was ready to wait for everyone to come to deal with this matter, give an explanation to the Shun Department, and when they were at ease, they would also force the imperial court to retreat and compromise.

However, Wang Yan obviously underestimated the eagerness of Du Yinxi and the others, and they ran wildly all the way, not waiting for Wang Yan to pass over in Tai'an, but directly greeted Dongchang Mansion.

Blocking Yinxi and others, in the territory of Dongchang Mansion, stopped Wang Yan.

They were also very well-informed, knowing that Gao Yigong and others got on Wang Yan's boat in Linqing, and Du Yinxi was afraid that Wang Yan would be moved, so he rushed to Dongchang in the starry night.

Wang Yan did not hide from him, but asked them to be brought to the ship. Du Yinxi walked the fastest, directly leaving behind several pavilion elders and the guards who led the way.

He got into the cabin and saw Wang Yan sitting in the main seat, on the seats on both sides, on the left there were only Wang Fuzhi and Xia Wanchun, and on the right were all military generals, most of whom were obedient people.

Seeing Gao Yigong and the others sitting in the cabin, Du Yinxi's face suddenly fell, and he was about to speak, but Wang Yan said first: "A few cabinet members will sit first, and then listen to the words of the lonely king!" ”

Seeing this, Yinxi and the others had to sit down on the left first, and when Wang Yan saw that they were seated, he immediately straightened up and said in a deep voice, "The matter is here, and the lonely king will get straight to the point." The current situation, everyone knows it in their hearts, Wan Chun thought about a few things, how about everyone listen to it? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to respond, so he raised his hand slightly and signaled to Xia Wanchun, who immediately got up and arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to weigh the interests of all parties, the lower officials have three suggestions, first, His Royal Highness should sweep away the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore the merits of Shenjing, and he should be promoted to the prison country!" Second, after the recovery of Beijing, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager should have returned to Shenjing, but the prison and the imperial court still remained in Nanjing. Thirdly, His Majesty issued a holy decree at the moment, declaring that the world and the Ming state affairs were entrusted to the prison and the cabinet, and in addition, the holy decree needs to state that His Majesty only has the right to appoint the prison state, and cannot arbitrarily order interference in state affairs, if it is His Majesty's order, it is the opposite of the imperial court's order, and the subjects of the world are subject to the imperial court's order······"
