Everything that happened in the capital, Su Tiancheng, who was in Fujian, was clear, the Jiangning battalion had already taken Fuzhou, Fujian governor Song Yihe was captured, Lu Xiangsheng was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the governor's yamen, and it didn't take much energy to attack Fuzhou Fucheng, where is the sergeant of the inspection department who is the opponent of the Jiangning battalion, but the general soldier Qian Zhongxuan disappeared, and it is said that he went to the Zhendong Guard, such a thing, Su Tiancheng did not take it to heart, although he said that Qian Zhongxuan still had thousands of sergeants in his hands.

Su Tiancheng, who led the Jiangning battalion to attack Fujian and Zhejiang, was morally untenable, and this move would definitely be criticized, so Su Tiancheng thought of many reasons to temporarily cover up his true purpose, but the struggle for power was like this, and after the worst, everyone tore their faces, and the purpose was clear, so Su Tiancheng secretly encouraged the soldiers to attack some officials of the government, and he also looked forward to relying on such means to understand the power of the imperial court, but there were many actions in the capital, makes Su Tiancheng's practices redundant.

Su Tiancheng never thought that Zhu Youzhen was so uncontrollable, if a wise king to deal with such a thing, the first thing is to obtain moral support, no matter what, since ancient times, morality has occupied a key role, empathy, if Su Tiancheng encounters such a thing, as the dominant force that occupies orthodoxy, the first thing is to unite the people around him, through the control of public opinion, so that the opponent is limited to the situation of disloyalty and injustice, and then he will start to act, and at such a critical moment, It is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united, and the ultimate goal is to defeat the opponent.

It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen didn't choose this approach, everything he did was like something done by an angry child, especially the large-scale cleaning carried out by the government in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, borrowing the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. This is tantamount to self-destruction, and it is important to know that Lu Dao Jinyiwei and Dongchang, among many civil and military ministers, are representatives of darkness and corruption.

Su Tian felt a sigh when he became Zhu Youzhen, and he also felt lucky for himself, it was originally expected that it might be a few more years. was able to completely shake the orthodox status of the Zhu family, and now it seems that there is no need for him to have any taboos, although he can do it boldly.

Perhaps he didn't expect Fuzhou to be lost so quickly, but the holy decrees of the imperial court were sent to Fujian by stepping up, and all these holy decrees fell into the hands of Su Tiancheng.

The holy decree still attracted Su Tiancheng's attention, especially Zhu Youzhen's title of Liu Zeqing and Qian Zhongxuan. Liu Zeqing was hung with the title of secretary of the military department, and Qian Zhong was selected to be the left attendant of the military department, which shows that Zhu Youzhen has made a decision to encircle and suppress the military above.

Judging from the actions of the Jiangning battalion, the situation in various parts of Fujian is not complicated, and the imperial court does not have any formal army here, the imperial court relied on Zheng Zhilong in the past, and then Xiong Zijian basically controlled the coastal areas after he was stationed in Fujian. The imperial court did not pay attention to the defense here, and to be honest, the imperial court could not come up with so much silver.

After careful consideration. Su Tiancheng made a major adjustment.

He decided to go to Zhejiang in person, and the key goal was to deal with Liu Zeqing, no matter what, Liu Zeqing had 100,000 soldiers under his command, which was not a small force, once Liu Zeqing's strength was cleared. Zhejiang is at your fingertips, as for many matters in Fujian, let Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Zijian deal with them, and let Hong Chengchou rush to Fujian for military matters. Directly commanded the conquest of Fujian.

On the tenth day of February, Su Tiancheng took a warship and rushed to Ningbo Mansion in Zhejiang.

Hong Chengchou had already received an order to lead the soldiers to wait at the Dinghai Houshu in Ningbo.

After Hong Chengchou led the army into Zhejiang, the first attack was Ningbo Mansion, and the army entered from Yanzhou Mansion, which was slightly weaker, passed through Jinhua Mansion and Taizhou Mansion, and directly entered Ningbo Mansion, first occupying the entire territory of Ningbo Mansion, in this process, basically did not encounter any large-scale battles.

Hong Chengchou also knew that the imperial court had sent a report to the palace of Ningbo Mansion, and Hong Chengchou also got it.

After seeing Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou seemed a little excited, and Su Tiancheng knew what Hong Chengchou wanted to say.

Along the way, Qu Qingze has suggested many times, since he broke with the imperial court, Su Tiancheng should have a name, otherwise it will be difficult to call him later, judging from the current situation, Su Tiancheng should be called the king, so that he can lead all the soldiers and civil and military ministers under his command, not only Qu Qingze, but even Lu Xiangsheng also put forward a suggestion, thinking that Su Tiancheng should have a name.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's appearance, Su Tiancheng understood that he must have thought of such a thing.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts about the matter of being the king are a little complicated, in fact, he has always thought that if he can use the title given by the imperial court, many things will be easy to do, and the conflict will not be so intense, but the reality is that he no longer has the title of Jiliao Governor and Prince Taishi, at this time, leading the Jiangning battalion to conquer is a bit nondescript, and the people below are not easy to call, of course, you can continue to be confused, not admit the emperor's holy decree, and even say that the emperor is deceived by the traitors around him, Therefore, such a decision was made, but it has a great impact on the long-term development, so the matter of correcting the name must be considered clearly.

Ningbo Mansion, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, He Renlong, Liu Tiehan, Wu Sangui and others are all concentrated here.

After Su Tiancheng came to the wing, everyone stood up together and saluted Su Tiancheng.

Seeing everyone's action, Su Tiancheng knew it.

With a smile on his face, he spoke carefully.

"Many of the emperor's holy decrees, you have all seen it, I, Su Tiancheng, have been designated by the emperor as a thief, and now I am not the Jiliao Governor, the prince and the prince, and I have become a sinner in the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou spoke first.

"The subordinates follow the lord until death, just now the subordinates have discussed with you, since the court has made such a matter, the lord does not need to be polite, we are willing to support the lord and conquer the world."

After Hong Chengchou said this, he knelt in front of Su Tiancheng, and then everyone knelt down.

Su Tiancheng did not ask everyone to stand up, and he still had to abide by the etiquette of this era.

"You follow me to fight in the north and south, experience life and death together, I can't hurt the hearts of many soldiers, since the court thinks that I Su Tiancheng is a thief, then I have to correct my name, the monarchs of the past dynasties are required to govern the world with benevolence, and I can't be an exception, I will set up a throne for myself and call it King De."

"Ministers meet His Royal Highness King De......"

"Okay, all of you get up, it's a small matter to be called king, a few words can solve the problem, the key is still the progress of our battle, judging from the current situation, we have occupied Fuzhou and Hexinghua in Fujian, as well as Ningbo in Zhejiang, according to our arrangement, before the end of March, occupy the whole of Fujian and Zhejiang, there is not much problem."

"The foundation of the Jiangning battalion in Fujian is better, so I have thought about it, 60,000 troops, of which 40,000 remain in Zhejiang, led by me personally, and Hong Chengchou leads 20,000 troops, striving to occupy the entire Fujian province from the end of February to mid-March, King Jin, Yang Sichang, and Zhang Pu are already starting to equip officials, and they can arrive in Fujian and Zhejiang by the end of February."

"In the past, our deployment was to occupy Fujian and Zhejiang, and then to conquer Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, now it seems that our goal has changed, after occupying Fujian and Zhejiang, directly attack Nanzhili, take Nanzhili, so Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian, connected together, and these places are rich places in the south, occupy these places, our scale is shown."

"The imperial court will never give up, we will encounter some fighting, but I am sure, we will not encounter any vicious battles, I never thought that the emperor would be so confused, he forgot that there are still Houjin Tartars in the north, Liaodong and Datong's border troops are not daring to move, once we officially play the banner of raising troops, the Houjin Tartars will definitely move when they hear the wind, and the court will not be peaceful from now on."

"My most heart-wrenching thing is that in this expedition, the people will encounter unjustified disasters, I have long said that the people are our food and clothing, no matter what the circumstances, we cannot kill innocents indiscriminately, and our swords and guns are not allowed to be aimed at the people."

"What I'm most worried about is the Houjin Tartars in the north, once the situation deteriorates, the emperor is desperate, and it is even possible to transfer the border troops of Liaodong and Datong to attack us, if the emperor really makes such a decision, the capital will fall into the hands of the Houjin Tartars, but we currently have no energy to exterminate the Houjin Tartars."

"Everyone, remember, if the Houjin Tartars take advantage of the fire to rob and kill many of my Han people, we will ask them to return a hundred times in the future, and when I officially start the army, I will write a letter to Huang Taiji to warn him, if Huang Taiji dares to make any moves, when we attack Shenyang and other places in the future, I will abolish the ancestral tomb of his Aixin Jueluo family."

"The most important thing I need to emphasize is that you must remember that you follow me, it is inevitable that you want to get glory and wealth, but the premise is to ensure that the people can have enough food and clothing, and the reason why we oppose and overthrow the imperial court is because most of the officials in the imperial court think of fighting for power and profit, and they think of their own interests, and they forget a sentence, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat......"

On February 15 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Su Tiancheng officially became the king of Germany and began his conquest of the imperial court. (To be continued......)
