Chapter 472: Zhu Yulu made a condition
After hearing the imperial edict issued by the court, he ceased war with the Qing court to negotiate peace, and the soldiers of the Dantu Ming army were infuriated.
Wu Zheng also felt tired, but he could understand the helplessness of the court and the cabinet ministers.
If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know that the food, food, oil and salt are expensive.
The foundation of Qingtai Dynasty is too weak, so weak that it will fall apart when the wind blows.
The so-called nine palaces (now plus Shaoxing Prefecture is the ten palaces), except for the three palaces of Wu Zheng (plus Shaoxing Prefecture is the four palaces), Wang Zhiren's three palaces, only the three palaces can truly control taxes. Now it is a time when the Qinghuang is not in the process. It would be hard to let the court continue to support a war with the Qing army.
Wu Zheng knew that this was wrong, but if he asked himself to give up the taxes of the four governments, Wu Zheng would be really worried.
In this world, only what is in your own hands is your own.
Wu Zheng could not do such things as a gentleman, and even Wu Zheng decided to take the initiative to take charge of Shaoxing Mansion, which had not yet decided to belong.
Not to mention the other three palaces.
So Wu Zheng could understand the court's decision.
Under Wu Zheng's comfort, the soldiers began to calm down.
But Xia Wanchun is different from other generals. He is knowledgeable and talented. He can see the essence of the problem clearly with a sharp edge. He looked at Wu Zheng with concern and asked, "Will the final profiter of this ceasefire be my dynasty?"
Yes, the Qingtai Dynasty is just ten prefectures, most of Jiangsu and half of Zhejiang. Compared with the Qing court that controls most of China, time is not on the side of Qingtai Dynasty.
Everyone develops at the same time, but the difference between land and population is too big. How can we compare?
Wu Zheng explained this, "The Qing court said that the land occupied and the population under the rule were more than ten times that of our dynasty, but the pressure it was under was more than ten times that of our dynasty, or even more, because the Ming people on this land would resist, and the Qing court needed to invest more energy and financial resources to curb. At the same time, although the land occupied by the Qing court was greater than that of our dynasty, the ten prefectures of our dynasty were developed and the population was concentrated, not as poor as the north. The most important thing is that our dynasty could be together with the ruler and his subjects, while the Qing court needed to face the fact that they accounted for half of the surrendered ministers. In this way, it goes without saying which one is better or worse."
Xia Wanchun was convinced, but Wu Zheng sighed in his heart. Can Qingtai Chao really be united?
Qian Qiaogong, who has been silent these two days, thought differently. If there is a peace talk, then the uncle may be saved.
Although my uncle didn't know life and death at this time, hope was better than hopeless... he could welcome the body back and let him be buried in his ancestral grave.
Qian Qiao said anxiously: "Wu Zheng, take me to respond to Tianfu and ask my uncle and soldiers if there are survivors?"
Wu Zheng looked at Qian Qiao silently without saying a word.
Originally, Qian Qiaogong's intelligence would not have asked this question.
But those in the authorities are confused, and no matter how smart people are, they will be confused when they care.
Xia Wanchun sighed beside him and said, "Qiao Gong, why don't you understand that Yi Zhen was surrounded by the Qing army for a long time. If Wu Sangui had not been able to capture him for a long time, he would have fought to the death and fought to the death. I am afraid you would not have been able to stand out... With Uncle Ling's loyalty and courage, he would not even want to retreat, so how could he... Alas?"
Xia Wanchun couldn't bear to explain it clearly, but how could Qian Qiaogong not understand what he meant?
The uncle refused to retreat and decided to restrain the Qing army for one day. He already had the ambition to die. How could he fall into the hands of the Qing army? If he did not surrender, how could the Qing army let him go easily?
If you are really injured and captured by the Qing army, then... it would be better to die for the country.
Yes, there have been prisoners exchanges since ancient times, but this exchange can exchange the results of the lives of soldiers. How could the uncle be willing to do this in the court? If this is true, I am afraid that the uncle will commit suicide to show his ambitions when he is really alive.
Thinking of this, Qian Qiaogong burst into tears.
Wu Zheng suddenly said, "I will take you to Yingtian Mansion."
Not only Xia Wanchun was puzzled, but Qian Qiaogong was also stunned.
"As long as Uncle Ling is still alive, even if I exchange it for me, I will never refuse!" Wu Zheng said calmly.
....
Just when Wu Zheng explained to Xia Wanchun the defense and set out for Yingtian Mansion.
Ma Shiying personally rushed to Dantu to meet Wu Zheng.
His purpose is very complicated.
But just one point shocked Wu Zheng.
Ascend the throne?!
Yes, Wu Zheng and Ma Shiying had a private goal, and the ultimate goal was to ascend the throne to the emperor, but obviously, it is inappropriate now.
The emperor of the ten palaces?
Is it better than a governor?
And when Ma Shiying said another thing, Wu Zheng immediately refused!
On that day, Chen Zilong advocated supporting Wu Zheng in the palace, and received unanimous support from all court officials except Qian Sule.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, Wu Zheng must be a descendant of Huizong, which means that Wu Zheng must first recognize his ancestors before ascending the throne.
In fact, Chen Zilong is not aimless. Regardless of whether Wu Zheng’s identity is true or not, as long as Wu Zheng recognizes his ancestors and returns to his hometown and has a surname Zhu, then even if Wu Zheng is fake, so what?
In history, the emperor had no descendants and adopted the same family and inherited the throne. It was not without it.
Therefore, as long as Wu Zheng’s surname is Zhu, it will be considered “righteous” to be classified as Chengsi under Huizong’s name.
This is also one of the most important reasons why court officials agreed unanimously.
The situation is urgent, and no matter who the three emperors in Guangzhou are becoming a climate, it will inevitably lead to a conflict between the north and the south.
If the Qingtai Dynasty wants to occupy the righteousness, it must have an emperor, otherwise the reputation will be unjust, so how can we fight against the south?
This is another important reason why the court officials agreed unanimously.
Of course, there are other reasons, such as Wu Zheng's current power and position are no longer rewarded, such as Wu Zheng's strength is enough to overturn the cabinet, start a new job, etc.
Since the momentum is unstoppable, it is better to follow the trend.
At least you can still make a contribution to support, right?
However, the unanimous opinions of the ministers were temporarily put on hold by the regent Zhu Moe's attitude.
This is not the reason why Wu Zheng refused, but Zhu Mai proposed an absurd condition that Wu Zheng could not agree to.
After Zhu Ma Shiying retired from the court that day, she left Ma Shiying.
The monarch and ministers held a detailed discussion straight to the point.
Zhu Ma did not hide it, and told Ma Shiying all the things that changed Wu Zheng and Wu Xiaomei's identities.
Then he asked, "Ma Xiang has been following Duke Zhenguo, and he is not an outsider. I want to ask, do you think this matter is feasible?"
Even though Ma Shiying was used to seeing strange things in the palace and the court, he was so shocked by Zhu Ma's words that he opened his mouth wide and could not close it for a long time.
How crazy and ridiculous Zhu Ma’s approach is!
There was a legend about the raccoon cat changing to the prince in ancient times, but now Li Dai Tao Zombie will never let the ancients.
In this way, even if the Ming Dynasty is revived, I am afraid it will not be the original Ming Dynasty. Even the emperor is not a descendant of the Zhu family. Is the world still called Ming?
However, if your butt determines your position, your opinions will go in the opposite direction.
Ma Shiying's butt is now sitting on Wu Zheng's side, so his position is naturally different.
