And just a few days before King Zhu Changzi of Lu took charge of the country, a group of people left Hangzhou and went to Fujian.
"Alas!" Looking back at Hangzhou City, Zhu Yujian's clothes were stained with tears and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Prince Lu didn't listen to me, believed in Ma Shiying and others, and refused to supervise the country. Now that the court has no owner and the country is scattered, where is the Manchu Qing's opponent?"
On the side, Zhenjiang Commander-in-Chief Zheng Hongkui, formerly known as Zheng Zhifeng, had a trace of emotion on his rough face, and he couldn't help but cooperate:
"Prince Lu is greedy for wealth and honor, is afraid of the Qing army, and only listens to the civil servants. How can he be a wise king?"
"In Zheng's opinion, a wise king like His Highness is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
"The commander-in-chief is so complimentary!"
Zhu Yujian shook his head. Although there was a smile on his lips, it was filled with bitterness: "If the skin is not there, how can the hair be attached?"
"The fall of the Ming Dynasty is imminent, and I feel so sad in my heart!"
On the side, Zheng Hongkui showed a trace of worry, which was also accompanied by a sense of determination.
At a time when there is no one in the world, only the former King of Tang, now the King of Nanyang, can live in a rare place.
Of course, for the Zheng family, the Nanyang King is the only choice.
The other vassal kings were either in Xiangyang, Nanjing or Hangzhou, but this one was alone and lonely.
Unfortunately, he seems to have a lot of ideas and doesn't act like a puppet.
"Why doesn't Fujian have a vassal king?"
Zheng Hongkui was quite irritable.
However, the good news is that his nephew Zheng Sen was very satisfied when he heard about it. The reputation of the Tang King was well-known throughout the south.
This is good, it is natural after becoming an emperor and he can convince the public.
When he thought that the Zheng family were all ministers of the dragon and could support the emperor, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but tremble all over, and he was inexplicably excited.
This is a big business, bigger than the business at sea.
In fact, Zhu Yujian was extremely excited.
His rough life experience, the days of being abused in Fengyang, and the passage of decades have made him strong-willed.
But when he thought about being able to become the emperor, revive the Ming Dynasty, and regain the territory, he felt inexplicably excited, especially excited.
This was also the reason why Zheng Hongkui persuaded him to go to Fujian: "Don't His Highness want to restore the power of Grandpa Taizu?"
This sentence completely broke his guard.
He really wanted to, even in his dreams, he even formed an army to go north to Qinwang, so that he stayed at Fengyang High Wall for six years to wear off the edges.
King Lu cannot be supported, and I can only rely on me in this world...
…
Taizhou, Zhejiang.
After Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, in order to avoid the situation of vassal kings competing for the throne, all the kings went to Zhejiang to live in Tibet.
The king of Lu, Zhu Yihai, settled in Taizhou and lived by the sea for more than a year.
He is the eleventh generation King of Lu. In terms of seniority, he belongs to the same generation as Emperor Chongzhen.
But compared with Emperor Hongguang, his blood relatives were far away and he could be described as a distant relative. Although he lived in Taizhou, his treatment was pretty good.
Originally, he was spending his boring life as a vassal in a leisurely way, but unexpectedly, the city of Nanjing was destroyed and there was no news about Emperor Hongguang.
Recently, it was even reported that he was captured and headed north, which made people throughout Zhejiang panic.
At the same time, this also opened up the shackles for Zhu Yihai in a sense.
As the King of Lu, a clan member, and a vassal king, he is also qualified to be emperor!
The box of desire was opened and could not be closed. Zhu Yihai's heart was churning and he couldn't sleep anyway.
When I opened the book, I saw the word "Emperor" everywhere.
…
As for Zhu Yixi, after officially supervising the country in Luoyang, her status was completely different. In terms of daily life and etiquette, she was on par with the emperor, which made her a little uncomfortable.
In his opinion, cumbersome etiquette does have the effect of highlighting dignity and majesty in important ceremonies, but in daily life, too many etiquettes are a constraint for the emperor.
In other words, the emperor gradually became a puppet of etiquette, without any freedom at all.
Therefore, after Zhu Yixi's repeated requests, daily life became normal and no longer so tiring.
However, just when he had just adapted to the supervision of the country, Gao Jie sent someone over to explain his intention to surrender.
"Gao Jie!"
Zhu Yixi frowned and asked Sun Changzhou on the side: "How is he doing recently?"
"According to information from the Search Division, after Gao Jie was raided by Xu Dingguo, he went south overnight, killed Liu Zeqing, annexed his tribe, and then went north to take revenge and regain Xuzhou."
Sun Changzhou lowered his head and spoke loudly.
"Now they are entrenched in Shouxian County and the Xuzhou area. They have more than 100,000 troops and are committing evil crimes. The people are miserable."
"Is there any use value for him?"
King Yu said calmly: "The unruly Gao Jie has bowed to me now. Is he at the end of his rope?"
"Because there is currently no such news."
Sun Changzhou was stunned and said hurriedly: "However, it is said that Gao Jie has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. Apparently the Manchu Qing Dynasty has put a lot of pressure on him."
"There's definitely some pressure."
Zhu Yixi smiled, a rough map already forming in her mind.
The Xuzhou area is surrounded by Shandong in the north, Luzhou in the south, Huai'an in the east, and Henan in the west. It can be said that there are enemies on all sides. How can Gao Jie sleep peacefully?
Therefore, he is like a sleeping pillow, and people are eager to lean on it.
"Let's win over you for now!"
King Yu said coldly: "He is different from Bai Guangen. He has gone wild. He dominates the local area and is very happy. He just wants to use my signature."
"In the future, hum!"
Sun Changzhou lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
"How come Azig was recalled to Beijing despite playing well?"
King Yu asked again.
"Hearing that Azig submitted a letter requesting to be crowned uncle, the whole city of Beijing was in an uproar. Dorgon was furious and made him the emperor's uncle and regent first."
Sun Changzhou continued: "That's why Hong Chengchou was sent to Jiangnan to be the governor of military affairs."
"The Jiannu started dog-eating-dog."
Zhu Yixi was slightly surprised.
In his impression, in history, Dorgon's power was stable during his lifetime, and only Shunzhi dared to speak after his death.
He never thought that he would change the direction of history just by killing a Dodo.
Sure enough, history is like a flapping moth, flapping its wings at will has great power.
However, thinking about Azig's behavior that was completely devoid of politics and business, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but sigh:
"Ajige is sending a target to Dorgon, he is acting like a chicken!"
Sun Changzhou didn't know what was going on, so he could only say: "Jiannu is having a lot of fun now."
"You can't place your hopes on others, you have to rely on yourself for everything."
King Yu said calmly.
In front of his eyes, a huge map of Henan appeared, with top, south, and bottom lines. The lines were rough, but the locations of various prefectures in Henan could be roughly understood.
In the huge Henan Province, except for Zhangde, Weihui and Huaiqing to the north of the Yellow River, and Guide Prefecture in the east, the rest fell under his rule.
Although the combined population of these places does not exceed one million.
However, vaguely speaking, Henan has been brought under his rule.
