Chapter 2 The dispute over moving the capital
After understanding your situation, it is not a question that Fang Zhizhong's lust has disappeared. The newly established Yongli regime is indeed as dangerous as it is. If one does not deal with it well, it may disappear in an instant.
To the east, Qing general Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjiatun had 50,000 elite troops in Fujian. They were watching Dandan and could advance west at any time; to the north, the Qing army was attacking Hunan and Hubei, and heading south soon; to the northwest, the Qing army destroyed Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, and Zhang Xianzhong's remaining troops were conquering Yunnan and Guizhou.
For the Yongli Dynasty, it is relatively safe. At present, it is still Guangxi.
After the death of Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youlang announced his reign in Zhaoqing under the support of Ding Kuichu and others. At the same time, Emperor Longwu's brother Zhu Youyue, under the instigation of Su Guansheng, supervised the reign in Guangzhou under the pretext of "brothers ending brothers and brothers". On the eighth day of November, Zhu Youyue announced his ascension to the throne, and changed the next year to the first year of Shaowu; five days later, in order to curb the hearts of the people in Guangdong, Zhu Youlang announced his ascension to the throne, and changed the next year to the first year of Yongli.
In order to fight for orthodoxy, the Shaowu Dynasty and the Yongli Dynasty began to have internal conflicts. The battle between Lin Jiading and Lin Cha mentioned earlier was caused by this.
The Yongli Dynasty had just been established and lost 20,000 troops, which was a slight injustice for this weak regime.
"Damn, how did you travel through time and become Zhu Youlang? After all, you travel through time and into time and you can have half of the country. With the advantage of being foresight, you can slowly realize your dream of reviving the Ming Dynasty. Now, you are here to go to the south, without strategic depth and lack of room for maneuver. How can this be good? Is it still the same as in history, running away all the way, surviving for 16 years, and finally being killed by Wu Sangui?"
Thinking of this, Fang Zhizhong, no, now he called Zhu Youlang and couldn't help but feel ache!
...
"Emperor, Zhu Yuyue will definitely not give up, and will come to the west soon. Our army is newly defeated and morale is low. Besides, Zhaoqing has few soldiers and few generals, so it is not advisable to stick to it. I would like to ask the emperor to move the capital to Wuzhou to be the best strategy!"
Zhu Youlang was pondering when he heard Ding Kuichu say loudly.
You're moving the capital? You're so nice to say that you're really convinced, you're so good!
"No, Your Majesty. Our dynasty is newly established and is now at the critical moment when we are cleaning up the hearts of the people in Guangdong. We must not move the capital. If we move to Wuzhou, the hearts of the people in Guangdong will be lost. It is easy for the people to lose, but it is difficult to get it." Qu Shixi immediately refuted.
"Mr. Qu, if Chen Jitai leads his troops to attack, can he resist his troops in front of him?"
Before Zhu Youlang could speak, Ding Kuichu immediately met Qu Shixi.
"It is no problem to store grain widely and build high walls, and stick to it for half a year."
"What about half a year later?"
"The emperor is the authentic bloodline of the Ming Dynasty. With one move, the righteous flag will inevitably come to the world. Not to mention half a year, three months later, the situation will inevitably change drastically."
Zhu Youlang is the grandson of Emperor Wanli and the son of Zhu Changying, King Guiduan. In terms of bloodline, no descendants of Zhu family living in the world can compare with him.
"Mr. Qu, you are talking about war on paper, which is too ideal." Ding Kuichu did not hide his contempt.
"Mr. Ding, you are drinking poison to quench your thirst, and you are short-sighted!" Qu Shizi was not showing any weakness, his beard raised and he stared at him and quarreled with Ding Kuichu.
Qu Shixi was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue as the Minister of Personnel. Lu Daqi was appointed as the Minister of Rites and the Ministry of War, and Li Yongmao was appointed as the Minister of Justice and the Ministry of Works. Like Ding Kuichu, they were both the Grand Secretary of the Dongge.
Another person is Chen Bangyan, the head of the Ministry of War.
Listening to the quarrel between Ding and Qu, Lu Daqi, Li Yongmao, and Chen Bangyan were silent.
"It's better to give it a try instead! Let me be an escape emperor, but it's better to fight. If you succeed, you can occupy the entire Guangdong and attract the righteous men who are in the world to fight against the Ming Dynasty. If you lose, you will retreat to Guangxi to fight guerrillas. The most unlucky thing is to die. Just think that you've traveled through time. What's the fear of?"
While they were arguing with each other, Zhu Youlang had an idea.
"Stop quarrel! Two dear friends, don't you know what it means to lose your etiquette? Or, you didn't take me as the emperor seriously at all?" Zhu Youlang's face darkened and he scolded.
Mad, I won’t be a puppet emperor. If I can’t control you, I’ll just play with it. Just wipe my neck.
Although the five people regarded him as emperor, they did not take him seriously in their hearts, but just used him as a banner. Especially after the establishment of the Yongli Dynasty, the emperor obeyed his advice and did not dare to object to him at all, mainly because he, Ding Kuichu, had military power and wisdom. In addition to knowing beauty, beauty and food, the emperor did not understand military and national affairs at all. He was also very cowardly and had no opinion. Who did he rely on if he did not rely on him?
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Qu, Lu, Li and Chen felt strange, but he was still afraid, so he quickly bowed and apologized: "I am guilty, please punish me!"
Ding Kuichu was stunned and did not politely apologize, but replied carelessly: "Your Majesty, what are you saying? The situation is urgent, and my quarrels are also worried about the country. There is no sign of contempt for the emperor, so don't make a fuss."
"Hmph! Ding Kuichu, don't think I don't know what you think. You just rely on your soldiers and generals, and your achievements in supporting me. If you want to put me in a weak position, you think beautifully!" Zhu Youlang thought to himself.
"The four beloved ministers have all apologized, but Ding is still chatting, intending to accuse me of bowing. Could you let me apologize to you?" Zhu Youlang said coldly.
"I dare not, the old minister doesn't dare, the old minister can express his loyalty. Please tell me the truth!" Ding Kuichu was shocked when he heard this heart-killing words and quickly bowed and bowed.
"Okay, let's be calm. They are all old ministers who plan their country. I will not doubt your loyalty. However, the new establishment of our dynasty requires all the beloved ministers to work together and strive for strength, so that they will not have any rifts. You must know that the fortresses were all broken from the inside." Seeing that Ding Kuichu admitted his mistake, Zhu Youlang was not too forced to force him too much, so he turned into Political Commissar Zhu and started ideological work for the five ministers.
"The emperor is wise!"
The five people agreed in unison.
"Emperor, the emperor has already heard the dispute between me and Lord Ding just now. I don't know what the emperor wants?" Qu Shixiu finished saluting, raised his head and looked at Zhu Youlang's eyes and asked respectfully.
Qu Shixi's question still had a tentative meaning. Because he had already keenly felt the changes of the emperor. Not only was his temperament no longer the cowardice and incompetence of the past, he became resolute and wise, but he was also very clever in his knowledge.
The sentence "Fortresses are all broken from the inside" is more reasonable and the more you think about it, the more interesting it is. Will this be something a foolish emperor can think of?
