Chapter 830

Huguang, Xiangyang.

The residence of the Tang King.

After Zhao Ming became the regent of Nanjing, he was granted the title of the former minister of Longwu according to the agreement.

Previously, Zhao Ming and Jiang Yueguang negotiated under the city of Wuchang, and divided the forces left by Longwu into three major vassals.

Zhu Linyuan was in charge of Wuchang and accepted the territory left by the Longwu court, forming a large vassal including Huguang and southern Jiangxi.

Then, considering that King Zheng Chenggong of Yanping had tens of thousands of naval troops on the Jinxia Islands, and in Borneo, King Yanping became a vassal.

In addition, Li Dingguo, Yunnan and Guizhou, also formed his own vassal.

This is not because the Longwu court fought for the Western Army, but because the Western Army was only nominally surrendered, and Wuchang could not be the leader of the Western Army.

At that time, Du Yinxi mentioned this. As for whether the Western Army accepted the enthronement of Nanjing, it depends on the communication between Nanjing and Li Dingguo.

If we follow Wuchang's idea, in this way, if the future King Zhao Ming of Han did something wrong or wanted to reduce the vassals, Wuchang could unite the Western Army, connect with the Zhou Kingdom, and compete with Zhao Ming in the southwest, while Zheng Chenggong attacked from the sea and could also fight with Zhao Ming.

However, Zhao Ming did not completely follow the previous agreement to enfeoffment. The Nanjing court not only conferred the three kings of the Tang Fan lineage, but also conferred the general Lu of the Longwu court.

Therefore, now Huguang and Jiangxi have changed from a large vassal state to seven or eight large and small vassal states.

Although Wuchang was definitely dissatisfied with the franchise like this, which undoubtedly weakened their strength, the generals of each town suddenly became the lord of a country, but their attitude was a bit ambiguous.

Jin Shenghuan, who held military power, did not even speak of Gao Yigong, and Wuchang could only accept such a result.

Logically speaking, Zhu Yuyou was not qualified to establish a vassal state. Zhao Ming considered turning Longwu's power into bulk, so he gave him the opportunity to establish a country.

In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were restricted very much. At this time, the feudal division carried out by Zhao Ming was completely different from the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was the real feudal in the early Ming Dynasty.

The vassal lords not only had military troops, land, but also appointed officials and taxes in the vassal lords. They were all the vassal lords who were in charge. Their real power was a hundred times stronger than the vassal lords who were kept in captivity.

Zhu Yuyou got the title of true title and did not have to be under his nephew and became the lord of a vassal. He should have thanked Zhao Ming, but he hated Zhao Ming in his heart.

King Zhu Yuyou of Tang was granted the title of Xiangyang, and there were only two palaces in Xiangyang and Xunyang, which made him feel depressed.

Xiangyang is a famous city in the world and a strategic location, but it is not a good place for Zhu Yuyou.

There is nothing here, there are many mountains and thalaspora, and the harm caused by Zuo Liangyu more than ten years ago is too harsh. Now we still need to take on the responsibility of resisting the Qing army in the north and Zhou army in the west. It is definitely not a good fiefdom.

The only place worthy of praise here is that Wudang Mountain is within the territory.

But what's the use of Zhu Yuyou not being a Taoist priest?

Tang Wang Mansion, in the study room.

Zhu Yuyou, who was dissatisfied with the fief and intended to pull Zhao Ming off the horse, listened to his subordinates' reports.

"Your Highness, Zhao Bo'an issued an order to ask Your Highness to go to Nanjing to pay homage." Wang Deren said.

Zhu Yuyou looked angry, "Let me go to Nanjing?"

Wang Deren nodded, "It is said that all the vassals have received the order."

Zhu Yuyou frowned, "Wuchang, what do you say about Changsha?"

Wang Deren replied: "There is no decision yet, but Gannan and Jingzhou seem to be planning to go."

Zhu Yuyou's eyes narrowed and his face was gloomy. "At this time, Zhao Bo'an asked Gu to go to Nanjing to break the agreement. He said Gu wanted to guard against Zhou's army and could not go to Nanjing for the time being."

When Wang Deren heard the words, he couldn't help but worry: "Your Highness, Nanjing is conducting a test to see if we really surrender to Nanjing. If we don't go, Nanjing will definitely deal with us. If the other vassals do not go, the law will not blame the masses. Fortunately, I'm afraid that other vassals will go, so we won't go. At that time, Zhao Bo'an will be furious!"

Zhu Yuyou looked angry, "The relatives of the surname Zhu, please go to see Zhao Bo'an, don't think about it!"

Zhu Yuyou vented his anger, but he knew in his heart that if Zhao Ming really angered, he would not be his opponent if Nanjing got angry.

"I will write to various vassals, at least Wuchang and Changsha will advance and retreat with Gu. The King of Dingxi and Yanping will definitely not go to worship Zhao Bo'an!" Zhu Yu'e gritted his teeth and said.

Guiyang, Dingxi Prince's Mansion.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan sat together and fiddled with the brazier.

"I decided to go to Nanjing!" Li Dingguo said in a deep voice.

Liu Wenxiu said: "So, are you going to surrender to the Regent?"

Li Dingguo shook his head, "It is not surrender to the Regent! Xichuan surrendered to the Ming Dynasty very early. The Lone King was only loyal to the Ming Dynasty and would never surrender to anyone, including the Regent!"

Liu Wenxiu nodded, and Li Dingguo immediately said, "Wenxiu, you stay in Yunnan and Guizhou, Wenxuan will go to Beijing with me!"

Fujian, Xiamen.

Zheng Chenggong led the remnants of defeated soldiers and had just arrived at Xiamen, Fujian. He was commanding the fleet to transport family resources and transfer family members.

After defeat, the Nanjing court will give up the Jinxia Islands and go to the fiefdom of Borneo.

All the territory of Fujian was deprived of by the Nanjing court, and he would be exiled overseas to take up a vassal, which made Zheng Chenggong even more resentful to Zhao Ming.

Originally, the relationship between the two was broken because of Zhao Ming's sneak attack on Fujian. Now, Zhao Ming's attempt to expel Zheng Chenggong from the Ming Dynasty has left the relationship with the two without any room for recovery.

The capitals of Longwu were enfeoffed within the Ming Dynasty, but he was exiled overseas and enfeoffed to Borneo, Nanyang, and even the two islands of Jinxia were taken away.

Zheng Chenggong felt that it was during the Wuchang negotiations that he did not look down on Zhao Ming, so the beast held a grudge and targeted him in this way.

This is the price of defeat. Not only will it lose all its territory, but it will also be exiled overseas.

Zheng Chenggong hated Zhao Ming deeply, but Zhao Ming enfeoffed Zheng Chenggong overseas, but he was kind-hearted.

In the future, Zhao Ming will definitely cut off the vassal states, and the bottom line is the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty, and separatist forces are not allowed to exist.

If Zheng Chenggong still stays in the mainland, he will definitely be deposed in the future. After all, compared with the forces now, Zheng Chenggong has no force to resist at all.

Therefore, instead of being cut off from the vassal state again, it is better to be sealed overseas now, so as to avoid participating in internal disputes in the Ming Dynasty and concentrate on developing overseas.

Apart from Zhao Ming's Han Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was the first vassal that Zhao Ming had transferred to overseas. Zhao Ming actually had great expectations for Zheng Chenggong, hoping that he could use the advantages of the navy to set a world overseas and set a good demonstration.

If Zheng Chenggong gets along well in Nanyang, it will also help Zhao Ming transfers other vassal states overseas in the future.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong was standing by the dock and was commanding his subordinates to put a group of relatives on the boat. Gan Hui suddenly came over, "Your Highness, the Nanjing envoy came over to send an order and summoned Your Highness to Nanjing to worship."

Zheng Chenggong frowned. Seeing this, Gan Hui couldn't help but remind him: "Your Highness, the King of Han now thinks that the regent is the strongest, and we~"

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, "You need to say nothing, Gu knows what to do at this time! Gu cleaned up and went to Nanjing!"

Xiangyang, the residence of the Tang King.

After the decree of Nanjing came, King Zhu Yuyou of Tang wrote a letter intending to connect with the towns, and not obey Zhao Ming's orders and refused to go to Beijing.

Today, if Zhao Ming can come to the capital to worship, he will definitely make more demands in the future and will inevitably make more excessive demands.

However, now the Longwu clan is divided into eight vassals, and people are uneven.

Jin Shenghuan from southern Ganzhou first ran to Nanjing happily, and then Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi set off. Even Zhu Yue and Zhu Linyuan also wrote a letter saying that they were going to Beijing and advised Zhu Yuyou not to hit the stone with eggs.

This made Zhu Yuyou extremely sad and angry, but he could do nothing, but he did not compromise, but was still waiting.

At this time, the study door was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Deren came in in panic and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the King of Dingxi has come to the capital!"

Zhu Yuyou was shocked when he heard the words, and his face was full of pain, "Even the King of Dingxi surrendered!"

Wang Deren said worriedly: "Your Highness, what should we do now? The imperial edict has been urged three times!"
