Chapter 808 Change the Emperor

Zhao Ming was shocked when he heard what Zhang Huang said.

Seeing this, Zhang Huang immediately said, "Your Majesty thought that Longwu would be destroyed and the war would be understood. After all, they were all descendants of the Zhu family, and the Tang family lineage was considered to have made contributions to the country, so it is not appropriate to kill them all. Moreover, Zhu Linyuan was just a child, and pressed step by step, and it was inevitable that he would leave a bad reputation! Therefore, he asked the King of Han to withdraw his troops and accept the Wuchang peace talks."

All the things Zhao Ming was worried about still happened.

From the very beginning, Zhao Ming hoped to take advantage of the power of Nanjing's victory to force Wuchang to hand over military power and surrender to him.

Because if a strong city like Wuchang is not surrendered and attacked, it will definitely not be able to be captured in a short time.

If it is not taken for a long time, the situation will definitely change easily. Only by surrendering in Wuchang can we annex Chu and Gan before all forces are aware of the threat from the Han army.

However, the heroes and wise men in the world did not all join Zhao Ming's command. There are talents from all parties, so things cannot be fully developed as Zhao Ming wanted.

In less than a year, Zhao Ming ate Fujian and Guangdong, and just swallowed Nanzhili and northern Jiangxi again. The Han Dynasty was actually overwhelmed.

If there is no external threat, Zhao Ming believes that he still has the appetite to eat Chu Gan, but once the external changes occur, the situation will be hard to say.

In fact, the fact that Wu Sangui and the Western Army were going to send troops has already made Zhao Ming feel threatened. He was calm on the surface, but in fact he was very worried that they would come over.

The external forces are keenly aware of the situation faster than Zhao Ming, and the internal Zhu Yihai's attitude changes are also faster than Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming stood up with a gloomy face, "I have already learned about this!"

After speaking, Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "I would like to ask the elder to step down. I have important matters to discuss with my staff!"

Zhang Huangyan withdrew from the big tent. In fact, Zhu Yihai's attitude was reversed so quickly, which was largely due to Zhang Huangyan's persuasion.

If Zhao Ming annexed Chu and Gan, the Zhu royal family's forces would be basically eliminated. If Zhao Ming wanted to usurp the throne, there would be no obstacle.

Zhu Yihai was deeply afraid of the powerful Han army, afraid of losing the Zhu family and becoming a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. After careful consideration, he decided to reconcile with Longwu.

After all, Longwu is dead, he is the leader of the Zhu royal family and has already had the prerequisites for reconciliation with the Longwu court.

Now, for Zhu Yihai, his biggest threat has changed from Zhu Youjian to Zhao Ming.

Therefore, considering the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family's major, Zhu Yihai accepted Zhang Huangyan's suggestion.

At this time, Zhang Huangyan retreated, leaving only Zhao Ming and a few confidants in the tent.

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "What do you think?"

Zhang Jiayu pondered: "Your Highness, the Zhou Kingdom and the Western Army are about to rescue Wuchang, and the court behind us is going to discuss peace again, which makes us very passive."

Yu Yin said: "Now, we are acting in the name of the Jianwu court. If Jianwu is not the same as us and orders are randomly ordered, it will definitely cause chaos and unstable behind us!"

Zhao Ming was silent for a long time. Even if the army captured Wuchang, once the Zhou State and the Western Army intervened, the war between Huguang and Chu Gan would not end in a short time.

If Zhu Yihai was standing opposite him at this time, it could be said that he would be internal and external troubles.

In fact, as long as the internal stability is maintained, even if Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo participate in the war, Zhao Ming can fight slowly, but Zhu Yihai's attitude changes, so he will not be able to continue the war.

After all, Zhu Yihai is now the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking about how much trouble Emperor Xian of Han caused to Prime Minister Cao, he knew that Zhu Yihai, who had no one, had a lot of soldiers and ministers, had a threat to Zhao Ming!

If Zhao Ming did not obey Zhu Yihai's instructions and continued to attack, Zhu Yihai might have made more extreme actions.

After all, there are more than 20,000 Jiangbei troops in Nanjing, which is a very unstable factor for Zhao Ming.

Now, Zhao Ming has a great advantage, and there is no need to take risks and bet on anything.

Only with few cards and low capital can you gamble. Zhao Ming is now fully capable of slowing down and then dealing with it one by one.

Now that we have to deal with so many forces at the same time, even the Han Kingdom will be very difficult, and it is better to defeat them one by one.

Zhao Ming was silent for a long time and suddenly swung his fist, "Since Jianwu obstructed the achievements of the Lone King from unifying the Ming Dynasty, then I can only do Huo Guang's affairs, and change to an obedient emperor!"

Hearing Zhao Ming's words, everyone immediately felt refreshed and bowed.

Zhao Ming then ordered: "Zhiyuan, go to Hangzhou immediately, send King Gui to Suzhou first, wait for the Orphan King's order, and then send it to Nanjing. In addition, the Propaganda Department denounced the dispute between Tang and Lu, and created momentum for King Gui."

Zhang Jiayu hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes! I ordered me!"

Zhao Ming then said to Yu Yin: "Your family went to see Jiang Yueguang and told him that the Gu Wang wanted to meet Du Yinxi and discuss peace in person!"

The Han army attacked Wuchang fiercely, and Wuchang was in danger. Jiang Yueguang kept in the Han army camp, seeking peace talks.

Although Zhao Ming always claimed that it was the last condition, he actually never closed the channel for peace talks.

After all, the Han army attacked Wuchang only had 100,000, which was the only mobile force in Zhao Ming's hands.

Even if Zhao Ming conquered Wuchang, he would not have much force there to occupy all Chu. In the final analysis, he would still have to recruit Longwu generals.

The biggest difference between the two sides in peace talks is actually only one, which is whether to trade military power. Other conditions such as imprisonment of Zhu Linyuan are all conditions that can be used to concessions.

When Yu Yin went out, he made an appointment for the time and place the next day.

At noon the next day, Zhao Ming and Du Yinxi, each leading a thousand people, gathered at the south of Wuchang City, two miles away from the city.

The soldiers surrounded a place with white cloth in the wilderness. The soldiers on both sides stood outside the white cloth. Du Yinxi led several generals such as Zheng Chenggong, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others, as if facing a great enemy, and sat in the enclosed area.

After all, in addition to being the King of Han, Zhao Ming is also a peerless general. Zheng Chenggong and others have to do so and dare not underestimate him.

Zhao Ming only brought a few civil servants to negotiate and sat openly across the street.

At this time, both sides were clearly sitting on the stool. Zhao Ming glanced at the opposite side. Du Yinxi, Zheng Chenggong, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Laiheng were all famous people and good generals. Looking at his own head, he was very kind and relied on his own. He was also tired.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh, "I don't plan for each other, loyal ministers and good generals are not used by him, and then smiled and said, "I have long been honored by the old master's reputation. I will meet you today, and I will be lucky in my three lives!"

Then he immediately said to Zheng Chenggong: "Success, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zheng Chenggong turned his face aside, and since Zhao Ming's sneak attack on Fujian, his friendship boat had already overturned.
