Chapter 1: The Great Chaos in the World
After recovering Wuchang, the passage from Huguang to Sichuan was opened. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info at the same time as the battle of Huguang was going on, the Ming army launched an attack from Fujian, conquered Ganzhou, Ji'an and Jingdezhen, plus the Ming fleet that advanced from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and after capturing Nanjing, the Ming army recovered the entire Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu. So far, in addition to Jiujiang, Nanchang, Chizhou several cities south of the Yangtze River, the rest of the territory has returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Guizhou in Yunnan is currently Wu Sangui's territory, but Wu Sangui has already played the banner and announced his return to the Ming Dynasty, so nominally, Yungui is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Eastern Sichuan belongs to the territory of the Kuidong Righteous Army, and those who break into the camp are also loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so nominally, the eastern Sichuan region has also belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But the generals of the Qiongzhou Army led by Wang Xinyu know very well that the only real people in their own are the Qiongzhou Army and Zheng Cong's people, even if Zheng Raid is not a heart, not to mention Wu Sangui, Kui Dongchuang Camp, and the Fujian Army that surrendered later, Shang Zhixin's Yue Army, and the newly surrendered Geng Jingzhong. And although Li Dingguo is a national hero, he is actually a warlord. If it is now divided, it is about to fall into a situation of local warlords.
Although it was a warlord separation, Wang Xinyu did not want to take action internally, but publicly issued a statement that all armies must join forces to give priority to solving the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then consider the issue of the ownership of the world.
Not long after the Ming army conquered Wuchang, a clipper came down from the upstream and sent an urgent letter to the Qiongzhou army.
"Wu Sangui wants to borrow Sichuan to fight Hanzhong and Shaanxi! Kui Dongchuang camp is also about to move, and he can't wait to go back to his hometown in Shaanxi! Wang Yuyou took the letter sent by the Sichuan Ming Army and walked into Wang Xinyu's Chinese army camp.
After reading the letter, Wang Xinyu frowned slightly: "Wu Sangui wants Shaanxi, and he wants Shaanxi to break into the camp!" If these two groups of people enter Shaanxi together, won't they have to fight? ”
Wang Yuyou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If they let each other fight, it will not be a good thing!" After all, the world belongs to one family, and our top priority now is to welcome His Majesty the Emperor back to Nanjing! As long as he arrives in Nanjing, it will be our territory! We can blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes! And Wu Sangui, Chuang Ying, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong, and Zheng Xi, let them kill each other in the future! ”
coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this is to be Cao Cao. But Wang Xinyu has come to this point, and he can't help it anymore, if he is not Cao Cao, the final outcome will be a high merit, and he will end up with a punishment of the nine clans.
In order for his children and grandchildren to live well, he can only choose to be Cao Cao. Not long ago, Zheng Yun gave birth to a son, Pan Ying and Qian Zhiyu were also pregnant. If he didn't Cao Cao, when he was still alive, the emperor might not dare to do it. Once he dies, will his son be able to hold down the situation?
"Strategist, if we welcome the Holy Driver back to Nanjing, I don't know if Your Majesty will dare to come back?" Wang Xinyu asked.
Wang Xinyu's worries are very reasonable, Yongli, that coward, completely relies on Li Dingguo for protection. If you go back to Nanjing, it is not Li Dingguo's territory, but Wang Xinyu's territory! I don't know if I'm back to be a puppet? And it is clear that Wang Xinyu's ambition seems to be great, not as loyal as Li Dingguo.
Wang Yuyou said: "Nanjing is my Ming Ying Heavenly Mansion, and it is the city of Beijing!" If Yongli refuses to come back, then his authority will be damaged, and the gentry and people in the world, who will listen to him? It's a big deal, let's set up a new gentleman who is more suitable! Yongli will definitely take this into account as well! If he comes back, then Nanjing will be our territory! ”
Inviting Yongli back to Nanjing is actually a dilemma for Yongli. Yongli returned to Nanjing to be a puppet, but if he refused, Yongli would inevitably lose his prestige, and Wang Xinyu would have every reason to set up a new king!
Not to mention anything else, Wang Xinyu has a real Prince Chongzhen in his hands! At present, the crown prince is in Dongfan, although he has not revealed his identity, but if he really wants to push him out as an emperor, there are more people who can prove his identity, as long as his identity is clear, then he will not be the emperor, and he will not be able to do it.
In addition to the position of Prince Chongzhen, there are more people who can be qualified to be the emperor, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the King of Lu recommended by Zhang Huangyan, the old King of Lu Zhu Yihai is dead, and the new King of Lu Zhu Honghuan is only five years old, that is the best puppet! Although Zhang Huangyan was loyal, his Zhejiang army was really vulnerable. If Zhu Honghuan is supported to ascend the throne, Zhang Huangyan will definitely support it, and the real power is in the hands of Wang Xinyu.
Moreover, King Lu is deeply supported by the Zhejiang gentry, if Zhu Honghuan is supported to ascend the throne, the Jiangnan gentry will definitely recognize Zhu Honghuan, and will not recognize Zhu Youlang who refuses to return to Nanjing.
Therefore, with Zhu Honghuan here, Zhu Youlang could only go back to Nanjing.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhang Huangyan is worried that Wang Xinyu is too powerful and refuses to let the young Zhu Honghuan come to power, then Wang Xinyu will launch Prince Chongzhen. Even if the crown prince refuses, Wang Xinyu still has at least nine Ming clans in his hands that can be used! Launching any one out is more convincing than Zhu Youlang, who refuses to return to Nanjing.
However, in addition to the most convincing Prince Chongzhen and King Lu of Jianguo, if someone else is set up as the emperor, maybe the camp will push the king of Han Zhu Benxuan out as the emperor, and in that case, there will be three emperors in the Ming Dynasty!
Once Zhu Youlang returned to Nanjing, he couldn't help it, the Qiongzhou army was strong and strong, and he also controlled the water traffic, so Zhu Youlang could only be a puppet in Nanjing. And Zhu Youlang has no ambitions, he just wants to be able to live. The only trouble is Li Dingguo.
To tell the truth, Wang Xinyu really can't bear to be ruthless to Li Dingguo, a national hero, but once Li Dingguo returns to Nanjing with Zhu Youlang, with Li Dingguo's character, he will definitely prevent Wang Xinyu from treating Zhu Youlang as a puppet.
Considering Li Dingguo's factors, Wang Xinyu made a suggestion: "Military advisor, should we transfer King Jin away first?" Let him go overseas to expand his territory? After King Jin leaves Burma, we will invite Yongli back to Beijing! ”
"I'm afraid that Li Dingguo won't leave! But it doesn't matter, King Jin's troops are far inferior to ours! When the King of Jin returns to the capital, we will simply not do anything, imprison him, and we will control Yongli! Wang Yuyou said.
Wang Xinyu nodded: "If Yongli refuses to return, we will make King Lu of the prison country the emperor!" King Lilu, Jiangnan gentry all support us! ”
"King Lu is young, and the gentry in Jiangnan have no soldiers in their hands, if you can establish King Lu, it will be the best!" Wang Yuyou touched his beard and smiled.
