Chapter 312 You Wang Xuejun should go out
Zheng Zhilong's demise announced that the Qing Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to surrender Zheng Zhilong and rebuild the Qing Dynasty's strategy of protecting the coastal areas of the capital was declared bankrupt.
The entire Qing Dynasty completely lost control of the coastal areas.
The Qing Dynasty had to leave a group of important troops in Tianjin and the capital, and could not join any battlefield in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
However, Zheng Zhilong's plan to remove 200 warships and hand them over to Zheng Chenggong was not realized.
Because how could Yu Minzhong put such a large piece of fat and slip away from his mouth?
He captured all the so-called warships of Zheng Zhilong.
300 armed merchant ships, including the family of Zheng Zhilong Group he brought, were taken back to Nanjing.
Looking at the ship after ship of gold, silver, jewelry and supplies, Wang Xuejun couldn't help but laugh proudly: "You said I used Zheng Zhilong's old capital to loan his son to collect interest on his son. Is this transaction a bit black?"
The people around couldn't help but laugh together.
After everyone finished laughing, Wang Xuejun made an unexpected decision: "The war in Anhui is about to end. In fact, there is Li Yan in the north and Xu Jie in the south. There is also a messenger in Jiangxi. There is Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zhiji in charge. My two wives and five loyalists have mastered the entire court. The entire Xinming has stabilized. But at the same time, the situation in the Qing Dynasty has almost stabilized. How can it be done? I want to make trouble for the Qing Dynasty again."
It is your responsibility to make trouble for the Qing Dynasty.
"So I'm going to lead our fleet to Guangzhou, Fujian."
As soon as this proposal was made, the new military officer Wang Chongguang couldn't help but frown: "Your Majesty, the handsome guy is always there, especially at this time the war in Anhui has not been completely resolved, so the prince still has to take charge of the dispatch here."
Wang Xuejun smiled and shook his head: "The current Anhui War is right in front of that Luzhou. If you all here cannot win this kind of formal war, then you will be useless. So I said, I have nothing to do with whether I am here or not."
Xu Jie wanted to lead a battle independently without Wang Xuejun's interference: "The prince is right. Now the whole of Anhui is only Luzhou. We have surrounded Oboi Sony and Kong Youde in all directions, so that their cavalry cannot play a role. They only have an isolated city guard, and they have completely fallen into our numerous encirclements.
Now I think Oboi and Sony should not think about how to continue to counterattack, but how to break through the encirclement. In such a situation, the prince should indeed go to the south to make trouble."
When everyone saw the prince's most loyal retainer, he was so despised that he wanted the prince to walk away quickly.
Xu Jie looked at everyone's expression with strange eyes and quickly explained that he was not too greedy: "This time the Navy's victory annihilated all Zheng Zhilong's navy, and left the entire southern coast with no more force to fight against us. So what I mean is, we should take this opportunity to completely take over Zheng Zhilong's Japanese trade route, and then go to Guangzhou and Fujian to oppress Li Chengdong. It is best to give Li Chengdong a surrender.
It is a big deal to accept the business of the Zheng family and force Li Chengdong from Guangzhou to surrender to us. It is impossible to send a few envoys, and it requires the prince to take action himself.
Once these two things are done, our new Ming court will no longer be financially embarrassed. Guangzhou and Fujian, which the Qing Dynasty just occupied, have these two key tax places, will come to our hands again. In terms of fiscal revenue, one will increase and the other will decrease, and we can speed up the unification of the country."
Everyone is just half-believing and half-doing about Xu Jie's explanation.
It is hard to believe that everyone can understand this when accepting Japanese trade routes; because after all, Xu Jie was born as a smuggling merchant and pirate, which was his old job.
It is doubtful that asking the prince to personally say that he surrendered Li Chengdong to fight against the Qing Dynasty was a bit unreliable. It was absolutely wishful thinking.
Wang Xuejun smiled and said, "Although my former housekeeper is suspected of taking great achievements, both things he said are correct."
This made everyone wonder. The prince of his family is sure that what Xu Jie said could be said to surrender to Li Chengdong. Why is he so confident?
When Li Chengdong was young, he followed Li Zicheng's subordinate Gao Jie as a thief and was called "Li Hezi".
Later, he followed Gao Jie to the Ming Dynasty, and he was appointed as the general of the army and stationed in Xuzhou.
In the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Duoduo, Prince Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Cunren, the Minister of War, conquered Jiangnan. Li Chengdong led his troops to shave his hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Although Yangzhou was beaten to pieces by Wang Xuejun when he was trapped, he still followed the Qing army to attack Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and participated in the three massacres of Jiading created by Duoduo and Zhang Cunren. He captured and killed Zhu Yuyou, Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and killed Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Jiayu, anti-Qing forces, which were committed numerous crimes against the entire Han nation.
Li Chengdong probably knew that he was guilty and did not dare to surrender to Xinming.
At the same time, it was impossible for this executioner, the hard-core traitor of the Qing Dynasty, to follow the rules set by Wang Xuejun at the time, to agree to his surrender.
Now I'm talking about recruiting him. Isn't this going back on my word?
Wang Xuejun smiled and explained to everyone: "Xu Jie is right, but I will not surrender him for my reputation. But I will encourage him to fight against the Qing Dynasty and cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty Jiannu."
Only when you understand this is the characterization.
There is no big concern about whether Li Chengdong will rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the civil and military officials were loyal today and the flags were raising the rebellion tomorrow. What's more, they were the backbone of a bandit with a rebellious backbone behind their heads?
"Li Chengdong is now seriously dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty."
Zhao Zhenwu, commander of the Jinyiwei, came out to explain: "Li Chengdong's backer is Duozhe. But this time Duozhe became sick. According to detailed information, the executioner was not far from death.
Li Chengdong's backer had already fallen, and Duo Zeyi returned to Beijing when he was sick. The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who had promised Duo Zeyi to Li Chengdong, was replaced by Tong Yangjia, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and became the admiral of Guangdong. Therefore, Li Chengdong, who was used to this warlord, was quite dissatisfied.
In addition, after the incident with Master Hong Chengchou, the Qing Dynasty looked at the surrendered civil servants and military generals of the Han people, all of whom looked like spies and no longer trusted them. How could he hand over the heavy taxes of Guangdong and Fujian to him?
Tong Yangjia, the newly appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, treated Li Chengdong with this mentality and gave him little shoes everywhere. He also deducted Li Chengdong's military money and food from time to time, which greatly reduced his combat effectiveness, so Li Chengdong was even more dissatisfied."
Xu Jie continued to explain his thoughts: "From these points, as long as Li Chengdong adds a fire, it is still possible for Li Chengdong to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. However, this fire is strong and strengthens his determination. So who can have such great firepower? Of course, it must be our prince. That's why I asked our prince to take action and burn that fire."
This explanation makes the matter clear.
So all the civil and military officials happily sent their prince to war, one to serve the country, and the other to everyone here also wanted to take over the great contribution of regaining the entire Anhui.
