Chapter 690 Your Highness is too naive
Because the consequences of the Longwu court ambushing Sun Kewang are very likely to change the general trend of the world.
In order to prevent the Qing Dynasty from seizing Sichuan, Zhao Ming discussed with his subordinates' think tank and decided to try his best to restrain the Qing Dynasty from entering Sichuan.
Although Xie Qian won a great victory outside the pass, annihilated 30,000 elite Manchus and Mongolians, and injured the vitality of the Manchu headquarters, the Qing Dynasty still had more than 100,000 troops outside the pass.
In addition, if Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Xichuan soldiers would split, the Qing army would still have the opportunity to kill people everywhere and seize Bashu.
This time, the great victory outside the pass will be an opportunity for the entire Han forces, but if they cannot seize it and let the Qing Dynasty recover, the Qing Dynasty will still have the advantage.
Therefore, Zhao Ming wanted to use this great victory to cause imbalance in the internal forces of Manchuria to try his best to promote civil strife in Manchuria and avoid changes in the world.
To this end, Zhao Ming decided to take advantage of the victory outside the pass to increase his troops to Liaodong, control the Liaohe Plain, attack Eastern Mongolia, and obtain the source of war horses and pastures, and intended to use the loss of balance of the internal forces of the Qing Dynasty to restrain his loyalty to Shunzhi, so that Ajige had the opportunity to launch a rebellion and attempt to provoke internal strife in the Qing Dynasty.
The Ming army was able to recover Nanjing, largely because of the internal strife of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon was killed and both sides were busy seizing power.
The Longwu Dynasty changed from a rainbow momentum to a decline, and it turned from a rainbow to a decline, which was also due to an internal strife.
Therefore, provoking internal unrest in a force is undoubtedly the best way to resolve and weaken this force.
Zhao Ming had to admire Hong Chengchou for this. If he hadn't been to the Qing Dynasty's advice, the Ming Dynasty would have been a whole, but now it has been broken into pieces.
Shanghai, Huangpujiang Wharf.
At this time, warships gathered on the river. Zhao Ming came from Hangzhou to Shanghai, preparing to take advantage of the monsoon to rush to Liaodong, take advantage of the victory to pursue the Qing Dynasty, and give a heavy blow to the Qing Dynasty.
On the Huangpu River, the masts were like forests, and on the wharf, the civilians and coolies were transporting boxes of goods and bags of grain onto the ship. Teams of Wu Yue soldiers lined up in a long line to board the Shanghai ship.
Zhao Ming stood by the river, and a sound of horse hooves came from behind him. Yan Qiheng turned over and dismounted, saluting: "Your Highness!"
Zhao Ming Wenyu turned around and smiled and said, "Mr. Yan is back. What's the situation?"
Yan Qiheng said with a serious expression: "Report to Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and convinced Your Highness, King Lu, but~"
"But what?" Zhao Ming asked.
Yan Qiheng said in a deep voice: "But Your Highness, King Lu, insisting on withdrawing the troops from Liaodong to Jiangbei!"
Zhao Ming Wenyu frowned, "Is there no need to discuss it?"
Although Zhao Ming had many means to keep Jiangbei soldiers in Liaodong, if Zhu Yihai and others wrote to him and insisted on Li Yuanyin, Ruan Jin and others returning to Jiangbei, Zhao Ming would intercept him, which would cause turmoil in the Jiangbei army, affect the war, and even mutiny.
Therefore, if Zhu Yihai, Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen insisted, Zhao Ming could only return it for future cooperation.
But then again, Zhu Yihai was so eager to take back the troops in Jiangbei, it seemed that he could not wait.
Yan Qiheng said: "It can be discussed, but His Highness, King Lu, wants to bloom the flower bullets, and also cast paper and craftsmen!"
Zhao Ming frowned and pondered for a while, "The drawings and craftsmen cannot give them flowering bullets. If they want them, they can give them some artillery and a small number of flowering bullets!"
The flowering bullet was the killer weapon of the Wu Yue army, and it was a secret in the army. Yan Qiheng did not expect that Zhao Ming would give it to someone.
Zhao Ming naturally had his own conspiracy. He gave the cannons and gave them less shells. In the future, if the Jiangbei Army wanted shells, he would have to continue to buy them with Wu Yue.
In addition, providing these artillery and shells can also prevent self-development in Jiangbei.
Furthermore, Zhao Ming can also control the strength of the Jiangbei Army through transactions and cut off supply at any time.
Since Zhu Yihai was abolished and Zhao Ming established his own branch, the power of the Zhejiang clique has been greatly reduced. Zhao Ming did not want it. The Zhejiang clique was too weak, so he was willing to provide some support.
"Your Highness!" Yan Qiheng saluted with a serious look on his face, "I have something to tell Your Highness."
Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Sir, you can speak frankly."
Yan Qiheng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I discovered Your Highness King Lu during this trip to Jiangbei, and maybe I have some plans!"
Zhao Ming said coldly: "Sir, is it that His Highness King Lu wants to rebel?"
Yan Qiheng hurriedly accused him of the crime, "I dare not, I just guessed boldly. I found that His Highness, King Lu, was not very enthusiastic about resisting the Qing Dynasty, and he blindly hoped that the Jiangbei army in Liaodong could withdraw from Jiangbei, hoping to obtain the flowering bullet from us and enhance the strength of the Jiangbei army. Since King Lu was absent-minded in fighting against Qing Dynasty, he was eager to recruit the Jiangbei army and asked for the flowering bullet. What was the purpose?"
The King of Lu was unwilling to be abolished as the crown prince. Zhao Ming had known about it for a long time if he wanted to rebel.
He didn't want to rebel, but he wanted to rebel.
Zhao Ming suppressed Li Yuanyin and prevented Jiangbei's army from withdrawing back to Jiangbei. In fact, the purpose was to hold King Lu, and he didn't want him to rebel so quickly.
Now, King Lu was deposed because of his position as crown prince, and his heart was hit. He had a knot in his heart and focused all his energy on how to seize what should belong to him.
Zhu Yihai's lack of willingness to resist the Qing Dynasty, which made Ajige relax his vigilance and not affect Zhao Ming's layout. As for Zhu Yihai's rebellion, Zhao Ming had to suppress and delay.
Zhao Ming is now going to provoke internal strife in the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty first had internal strife, it would affect Zhao Ming's plan.
Therefore, Zhu Yihai can raise an army, but not now. We must wait until Zhao Ming defeats the Qing Dynasty and free up his hands. At that time, Zhu Yihai will raise an army and fight with the Longwu Dynasty. Zhao Ming will be able to handle both Zhu Yihai and the Longwu Dynasty in a mediating manner.
In this regard, Zhao Ming's method is very simple, which is to not return the Jiangbei soldiers for the time being. The more than 10,000 Jiangbei soldiers in Liaodong are the elite of the Jiangbei army. If this army does not return to Jiangbei, Zhu Yihai will not have enough power to attack Nanjing.
Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Yan is too worried! His Highness King Lu was deposed by the emperor and felt a little resentful, but his Highness is a human being, and he can guarantee that His Highness will definitely put the overall situation first!"
Yan Qiheng intended to remind Zhao Ming that he could listen to Zhao Ming's words, Zhao Ming seemed to trust Zhu Yihai very much and did not believe his words.
After all, Yan Qiheng had no evidence that King Zhu Yihai of Lu wanted to rebel, so it was impossible to insist that Zhu Yihai was going to rebel based on speculation.
For a moment, he was speechless and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhao Ming had invited me to do something, but Zhu Yihai's intention was already very obvious, but Zhao Ming still believed in Zhu Yihai.
No wonder, Your Highness will have the defeat of Jiangbei back then. It's not possible. Your Highness is too kind and too kind, but others don't say it. Those who are ministers should be more careful and not let those hypocritical people harm Your Highness again.
"I'm worried too much!" Yan Qiheng bowed and bowed.
