Chapter 982: Emperor Zhu's Determination
Seeing this, Xiao Yongzao was naturally secretly happy and immediately said that this matter was true. As long as the Ming Dynasty agreed, the former land of Yunnan and even the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong could be handed over to the Ming Dynasty. It just took some time, but Xiao Yongzao was willing to run around to make the matter happen as soon as possible.
Xiao Yongzao's words made many people feel moved, but Dong Dashan, who was standing in front, snorted coldly and stood in front of him and said: "Mr. Xiao's words are nothing but towers in the air. I want my Ming Iron Army to stop just by just one sentence? You must know that the land of Yunnan has become a dead place, and my army is approaching. As long as your Majesty's order, my millions of soldiers can trample Yunnan. How can you use this to show your goodwill?"
Dong Dashan glanced at everyone present with his eyes and said loudly: "The same is true for the former land of Liaodong. When Yunnan returns to our Ming Dynasty, the troops will point directly under the command of the army. Will Liaodong still have the strength to compete? In addition, Mr. Shi said just now, only half of Xiao answered. If the Lord is really sincere in asking for surrender, then he should be the one who enters the capital and let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty make a decision. Why do you say this?"
"General Dong, it's not impossible, but for the time being." Xiao Yongzao was stunned at first, and then his mind turned quickly, and he quickly explained: "This matter is a big deal. Now we are here to negotiate with our Lord. The specific matter needs to be discussed. Furthermore, the situation is complicated now, and our Lord needs to stabilize the internal situation and cannot leave temporarily. Once the troops cannot be suppressed, it will be unbeautiful. At that time, the war will cause trouble again, and the people of the world will suffer. But what Lord Shi and General Dong said makes sense, hey... that's it..."
As if he had made a great determination, Xiao Yongzao sighed and said, "Before coming, my lord had told me that if the Emperor Ming Dynasty was not at ease with my lord, my lord could send the lord to Beijing for the sake of his lord to show his lord's surrender. After the world is stable and the placement and improvement of our lord, he will definitely go to the capital to meet the lord and ask for his crime."
As soon as these words were said, many people's eyes lit up. Even the court officials who had thought the Qing Dynasty had been a little dishonest before could not help but nodded slightly, saying that this method was good.
Sending protons to show surrender is a practice that happened thousands of years ago. Now the Qing emperor went to the imperial examination and sent protons, and coupled with Yunnan, Liaodong and other places that promised to be returned, he has shown sincerity. From this perspective, it is not impossible to agree to them.
But before the moved person could say anything, Zhu Yicheng could consider it, Zhu Yicheng said lightly: "I am tired, I will discuss this matter again..." Xiao Jiangzi, who had long been interested, immediately shouted to retreat to the court at the top of his throat. Then, although the ministers were surprised, they also gave the emperor a gift to retreat to the court. After the emperor left, they all dispersed.
After returning to the palace and going to the court ward, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help laughing. All this in the court today was similar to what he expected. The so-called Qing Dynasty was just a trick. The purpose was clearly that Prince Yong wanted to use this to stabilize the situation externally, eliminate dissidents internally, and thus monopolize the power.
Of course, the so-called "destiny" and "receiving the emperor" are not fake. Zhu Yicheng still believes that this is because the Qing Dynasty has lost the world at the moment, and the so-called "emperor" position is just a false name. Whether it is an emperor or just a king is meaningless to the Qing Dynasty.
Furthermore, Prince Yong could see that Yunnan and Liaodong are clearly unable to save it. As for Liaodong to protect the so-called "land of dragon prosperity" in the north, it is already a barely enough. Since this is the case, it is better to show kindness to the Ming Dynasty and return it directly. It can not only show the attitude to the Ming Dynasty, but also withdraw from these two places and gather its own strength.
As long as the northwest is held by the Qing Dynasty and has the military strength to suppress the Mongolian troops, the Qing Dynasty still has a certain strength. As long as the Ming Dynasty agrees, the Qing Dynasty can expand outward in the future, first go to Mongolia, then pacify the Western Regions and even Tibet, and then take the initiative to revive.
As for the so-called proton that Xiao Yongzao said, others don’t know, does Zhu Yicheng not understand? Now that Jianxing has become a puppet, how useful can his eldest prince send him? After he gets to the throne, Prince Yong will replace it with just right. At that time, this so-called proton is just a name. Not to mention a mere prince, it may not be difficult for Prince Yong, who controls the overall situation to directly send Jianxing to Beijing.
With a good plan, Zhu Yicheng's laughter gradually turned into a sneer. He had never trusted the Qing Dynasty from the beginning. In his opinion, the Qing Dynasty that was completely eliminated was the best. As long as he had a breath, the Qing Dynasty was still the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, although China has flourished for thousands of years, it often goes from its founding power to its later decline. In all dynasties, except for the Zhou Dynasty, which were divided into feudal Zhou Dynasty, the other dynasties were only three hundred years long, and the shortest was only a few decades.
Zhu Yi has always been a great effort to establish his own Ming Dynasty and allow the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty to last forever. Whether it is his improvement of the treatment of merchants, starting business, reforming the imperial examination, or even changing the title of meritorious lord, or developing overseas, or even educating and arranging the children of the royal family... all of this is for this purpose.
However, in addition to overseas expansion, Zhu Yicheng paid more attention to the local area. Not only did the homeland of the former Ming Dynasty need to be recovered, but even all the territory belonging to Chinese civilization in his memory must be taken back. Unlike people of this era, Zhu Yicheng's goal is not something that ordinary people can understand, even the queens Li Juaner, Wu Sidao, Liao Huanzhi and others who are most familiar with him are not clear.
Zhu Yicheng was not satisfied with the current situation, and he would not have the so-called benevolent government thoughts of people in this era. His Ming Dynasty implemented the way of kings and domineering, and the so-called inner kings and outer sages, or inner sages and outer kings, all scoffed at it.
If Prince Yong is a realist and a realist, then the emperor Zhu Yicheng is more realistic and practical than him.
If it were other emperors, Prince Yong would probably succeed in this move. In addition, those scholars who only know how to read will even be complacent because of such a result. But how could Zhu Yicheng agree to this matter so easily? Naturally, the Qing Dynasty's plan was destined to be empty.
Zhu Yicheng also had his own ideas when putting this matter in the court. He was not worried about the Military Affairs Office. After all, he was clear-headed and not tempted, but how can the civil and military officials in the court guarantee?
Furthermore, Zhu Yicheng wanted to use this matter to see the attitudes and ideas of the people, and at the same time, he used this to hit the officials of the Ming Dynasty to unify their thoughts. He believed that after experiencing this matter, his attitude would be known to the world, and those who have a lucky mentality, whether they are officials or ordinary scholars, will also understand something from it.
