Wu Zheng patted Chen Sheng's shoulder speechlessly and said, "This is right, not right. It should be said that you do whatever you want and do as much as you have. Longwu Chao... ask for more blessings."

Wu Zheng did not lie to Chen Sheng. That's what he thought in his heart. He tried to delay Duoduo's journey south. Not only did Wu Zheng really have a high attitude, a big belly, and a heart of the world.

But Wu Zheng understood the truth that the lips were lost and the teeth were cold, just like the heroes competed for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms were in power.

Today's Qing court is like Cao Wei, which unscrupulously embezzled the land of the Ming Dynasty. If Longwu was destroyed, the pressure on Wu Zheng would be doubled or even several times.

But his strength at this time was different from when the Three Kingdoms fought for hegemony. Longwu did not have the strength of Shu Han, nor did he have the territory of Sun Wu.

The most important thing is that there is still something behind Wu Zheng, and this court is often still becoming its own resistance.

Therefore, Wu Zheng could not spend a huge price to reinforce the Longwu Dynasty. He also knew that once this admonition was spoken in the court, it would attract everyone's objection and rejection, including Zhu Yihai and Zhu Meiyu, would not agree to put limited troops into the south.

This will lead to the empty forces from Yingtian Prefecture to Hangzhou Prefecture. If the Qing army suddenly heads south, how can we resist?

But the most critical reason is that Zhu Yihai and the Longwu Dynasty boycotted each other, and Zhu Mai was appointed as the governor, but he was not recognized by the Longwu Dynasty. In other words, there are two Ming regimes that are not subordinate to each other and do not recognize each other on the land south of the Yangtze River.

If you think about it carefully, it is really ridiculous. When the strong enemy is approaching, the two regimes are still flirting with each other.

But Wu Zheng could not change this situation, at least in a short period of time, it could not change it.

This makes Wu Zheng have a choice. Wu Zheng doesn't have to think about it, but he will choose Zhu Fei.

It was not that Wu Zheng was loyal to the Zhu family to support Zhu Ma.

But when facing this existing imperial court and cannot be changed, Wu Zheng needed to have a spokesperson on it.

Zhu Yihai was not suitable. His fear of Wu Zheng was not due to the matter, but the matter was a balance of power and fear for fear.

Wu Zheng also couldn't find a Zhu family member who could endorse him, so Zhu Mo became Wu Zheng's only choice.

In any case, Zhu Masumi has a clean heart, she only wants to be right and wrong, and does not involve any interests.

In the past year, Zhu Ma's actions have satisfied Wu Zheng.

But the sequelae also began to appear, and this assassination made Wu Zheng alert.

People's hearts vary from time to time. When no one is still worried about food and clothing, he hopes to face the south and the north.

Only by standing at a sufficient height can you have a wonderful thought that you have never had before.

After all, Zhu Mo is a human being and a woman.

When you come into contact with a woman with supreme power, seriously, you are no longer a woman.

In just less than a year, Zhu Ma is changing, and Wu Zheng is changing.

Therefore, when Wu Zheng patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder and said that Long Chaowu would be more blessed, the regrets and helplessness in his heart were self-evident, but Chen Sheng did not understand this.

Chen Sheng said inappropriately: "Your Majesty does not need to be hurt by this. Although your lips are dead, the Longwu Dynasty and the Qing army are both defeated. It is the time when our army grows stronger. It won't take too long. In just one year, the power of Lihaiwei will be doubled. At that time, our army can cross the river and fight north under the leadership of yourselves..."

Wu Zheng stared at Chen Sheng in annoyance and suddenly cursed: "How do you know that Longwu Dynasty will definitely fight against the Qing army to lose both sides? What if the Qing army easily took Fujian? At that time, Duoduo led a large army with the Qing army in Jiangbei to attack our dynasty from north to south. How to deal with it? Will you really flee to the sea to form an exiled court? You are already the commander, use your brain more!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chen Sheng. Wu Zheng strode away and shouted at the shore: "Set off!"

Chen Sheng looked at Wu Zheng's back depressedly, scratching his head, not knowing what he said wrongly.

....

In Hangzhou Bay, the dusk sun shines on the sea in golden color.

Even the figures and ships are golden.

The warm sea breeze made people sleepy. A big boat, Wu Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, and the hem of his clothes was "slightly" whistled by the sea breeze.

Wu Zheng was thinking about how to make a short-term Northern Expedition.

This is a difficult problem. Nowadays, several prefectures cannot support a large army that is enough to resist the Qing court.

Being powerful and militant will only accelerate one's own demise.

Therefore, Wu Zheng could not be in line with the Qing court with the right direction, and needed to win with a strange victory.

Since we cannot confront the Qing army on land upright, we will be on the sea.

Play your strengths, avoid your weaknesses, and attack your enemy's weaknesses.

Taking advantage of the time when the Qing army generals were focusing on devouring the territory of the Ming Dynasty on land, they formed a powerful enough navy, and a surprise attack on the Tianjin and Beijing courts might change the entire battle situation.

This idea gradually took shape in Wu Zheng's mind after Wu Zheng launched the Northern Expedition.

Now that Songjiang Prefecture is in hand, a natural Palembang is jumping in front of Wu Zheng.

Just as Wu Zheng was thinking, Wu Xiaomei's voice came from behind.

"Brother, the sea breeze hurts your body, why not go back to the cabin to rest?"

"Um." Wu Zheng turned around and looked at Wu Xiaomei's concerned eyes and said, "I heard that you and Simin agreed to stay with Your Highness?"

Wu Xiaomei was asked bluntly by Wu Zheng, and she was a little surprised. She lowered her eyes and whispered: "She... Your Highness knows my life experience."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I know this. I want to ask, are you really willing to stay with Your Highness? Simin and Your Highness are cousins. It is reasonable to stay with Your Highness, but you are willing, I feel strange."

Wu Xiaomei looked up and looked at Wu Zheng with clear eyes and said, "Your Highness is right. Now that my father is staying in Pinggang Mountain, Simin is pregnant. My brother leads the army to fight on the battlefield, and I am afraid he has no time to take care of the family. Instead of being alone in Yingtian Mansion, it is better to be with Your Highness and Simin, at least when Simin gives birth, there is also a way to take care of him. Brother doesn't have to worry too much about this."

Wu Zheng sighed: "You are right. The four members of the Wu family are far away from each other. It's because my brother owes my father and you."

Wu Xiaomei raised her head and squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't blame my brother, I just blame this damn world. Thinking of the people who left their hometowns and fled, our family was finally safe and sound, and it's time to be satisfied."

Wu Zheng sighed, "Young sister, you have grown up."

Wu Xiaomei also sighed softly, "Can you not grow up? No matter who you are, you know that you have such a life experience, you have to grow up."

Looking at Wu Xiaomei's bitter face, Wu Zheng felt ache and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will never let you suffer any grievances."

"Thank you brother."

"By the way." Wu Zheng didn't want to make Wu Xiaomei sad anymore and said, "When I talked to Shen Zhiyuan today, he wanted to go to Yingtian Mansion with you. What do you think?"
