Chapter 99: The Country Has No Crown Prince
Zhu Yihai turned his back to Zhao Ming, feeling very unhappy and felt very hurt.
He treated Zhao Ming as his confidant, but he didn't expect that he would be scattered and look down on the old man Longwu.
When the Lone King was ordered to be in danger, he returned to Zhejiang East, attacked Yuhang, and fought against Duoduo. Is he not as good as the Tang King?
When Cao Cao went to Jingzhou, his troops were aimed directly at Jiangdong. Everyone in the Eastern Wu advised Sun Quan to surrender, but Lu Su said, "Everyone can surrender Cao Cao, but the general cannot surrender Cao Cao."
Quan said: "Why do you say that?"
Su said, "If Su and others surrendered to Cao, they should return to their hometown party because Su was forced to do so, so they would not lose their prefectures and counties. If the general surrendered to Cao, they would like to settle down? The position was only a marquis, the chariot was only one chariot, and the cavalry was only one horse, and they would never be called a lonely person in the south! Everyone's intentions were to do their own things, so they should not listen to it. The general should make a big plan early."
Zhu Yihai resisted the Qing Dynasty, but he also had selfish intentions. Now that he is a state-controlled country, how could he retreat? Besides, if he wants to retreat, everyone around him will not allow him.
Furthermore, the Fujian envoy had been killed by his generals, and he also expressed his desire to fight for the throne. Can the Longwu court tolerate him?
Seeing that Zhu Yihai was silent, Zhao Ming continued to say something even though he knew he was unhappy, "Your Highness, the situation is now, the Qing Dynasty is strong but the bright and weak. Even if the Ming Dynasty is a whole, it may not be able to defeat the Qing army and restore the mountains and rivers. Now, Duoduo has deployed troops in northern Zhejiang, and the situation in eastern Zhejiang is in danger. If Your Highness fights with Fujian, the country will be in danger! Now only by joining Fujian, forming a chain of breakthroughs and sacrifices, establishing a united front, Your Highness defends eastern Zhejiang, Fujian guards southern Jiangxi, the army fights Huguang, and the bandits leave Sichuan and Shu. The army is like a long snake formation. The Qing army attacks the head, and the tail sweeps. The Qing army attacks the tail, and the head and tail attacks together, and only then can it defeat the Qing army!"
When Zhu Yihai heard the words, he couldn't help but turn around, his face full of surprise, "Good you Zhao Bo'an, you not only want to surrender to Fujian, but also want to join forces with the thieves and commit rebellion."
Zhang Xianzhong dug up the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family, Li Zicheng forced Chongzhen to death, and destroyed the Beijing court. These two thieves were irreconcilable with the Ming Dynasty and the old Zhu family. Zhao Ming dared to say such words. Zhu Yihai was very surprised. Aren’t he afraid of being criticized to death?
Zhao Ming said, "Your Highness, the destruction of Nanjing began with the alliance of enemies and pacified the enemy. Now the Ming Dynasty's confidant is the enemy, not the enemy. Moreover, even if Zhejiang, Fujian, Chuang and Xiantong are the enemy, it may not be the enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Does Your Highness think that you should continue to pacify the enemy?"
Zhu Yihai was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Of course not!"
He was silent for a while, walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Gu already understands the intention of your family, and is actually the weak to fight against the strong. However, Gu thought that this strategy might be difficult to implement! Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty and Chuangxian were irreconcilable, even if Gu and Tang Fan were unable to be united~~~~~~~~~~"
Zhu Yihai said that, and shook his head. He recognized the strategy proposed by this plan and admitted that if it could be implemented, the Qing army attacked eastern Zhejiang, and the people of southern Jiangxi, Huguang, and Bashu would attack and force the Qing army to retreat. When the Qing army attacked elsewhere, the other three companies could send troops to reinforce, and they did have the opportunity to resist the attack of the Qing army. However, the plan involved as many as four forces, and these four forces had grudges, disputes of interest, and discord between each other. The feasibility of the plan was too low, so low that it could hardly be achieved.
"Your Highness, now the situation is together, and if you divide, you will die! Even if you are in trouble, you have to try it out. There is no other way to curb the Qing army." Seeing that Zhu Yihai actually agreed with his thoughts, Zhao Ming continued: "Your Highness and Tang Fan are both descendants of Taizu, so what can we not talk about?"
At present, Zhao Ming and Zhu Yihai actually reached a consensus that only when Tang and Lu unite can they fight against the Qing army, but there are big differences, and the key is the question of where the King of Lu will go.
The King of Tang became the emperor, and he had the support of Zheng Zhilong. The Ming army in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, Hunan, southern Gannan, and Guizhou all supported him, and his power was stronger than that of eastern Zhejiang.
Therefore, the King of Tang could not abdicate. In order to achieve the unification within the Ming Dynasty, only King of Lu would abdicate and return to the vassal.
Now Zhu Yihai has killed Longwu's envoy and has also urged the banner of reinstating that the person who restored Jinling to the emperor first. He clearly disapproved of the emperor Longwu and wanted to compete with Longwu for the throne. Both sides have already broken up.
How could Zhu Yihai abdicate at this time? Isn’t that asking for death? Anyone who has fought for the throne with the emperor will end up having a good ending?
Furthermore, Zhu Yihai also had ambitions in his heart and wanted to establish ambition to restore his ancestors and the country. How could he let go of everything in front of him and be a vassal king who was monitored and could be killed at any time, and his subjects would not be happy to follow him.
Seeing that Zhu Yihai was silent again, Zhao Ming bowed and said, "Your Highness is worried that I know one or two, and I have a plan that may enable eastern Zhejiang to maintain the status quo, and also enable the Ming Dynasty to be unified in name, so that the two families can unite!"
Zhao Ming praised him and tried his best to make Zhu Yihai think that Zhao Ming was from the standpoint of East Zhejiang and was considering him.
Zhu Yihai said curiously: "What are the strategies of your family?"
Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and said seriously: "There is no crown prince in the country!"
Zhu Yihai was slightly stunned, and a gleam in his eyes flashed, "What do you mean by your family?"
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The King of Tang is the king, and Your Highness is the crown prince! The King of Tang has no descendants now, and Your Highness can recognize his position as the crown prince in exchange for the position of the crown prince. With such a temporary unification within the Ming Dynasty, Your Highness can continue to show his ambitions. The ministers from eastern Zhejiang do not have to worry about not being valued in the future."
This is actually just a temporary solution, because Emperor Longwu's prince will be born next year. How can Longwu's son not be passed on to King Lu?
At that time, there will definitely be constant disputes within the Ming Dynasty, but there will be constant disputes, which is better than being done now.
At present, Tang and Lu jointly blocked the Qing army first, smashed the spirit of the Qing army, relieved the danger of national destruction, and then they fought for it later.
After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Zhu Yihai felt that this suggestion was still very constructive.
Now the Lu King regime controls Shaoxing, Jinhua, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Taizhou and other places. Zhu Yihai and his ministers unanimously agreed that it would be no problem to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and would be destroyed sooner or later, or be defeated by Longwu.
Therefore, the monarch and ministers in eastern Zhejiang launched the Battle of Restoration, but the result of the battle also made them understand that relying on the power of eastern Zhejiang, they might never be able to defeat the Qing army.
If the Qing army cannot be defeated, he cannot restore Nanjing first, and Zhu Yihai will not be able to become the emperor.
It can be said that the failure of Rehang has ruined the possibility of Zhu Yihai becoming emperor.
What Zhao Ming said provided Zhu Yihai with another legal way to become superior.
In terms of seniority, Zhu Yihai is Longwu's nephew. Longwu is older than him and is the crown prince of the Longwu Dynasty. Zhu Yihai is not at a disadvantage. Moreover, judging from age, Longwu will definitely die first. In this way, Zhu Yihai will automatically become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is indeed a good choice.
Zhu Yihai took a few steps back and forth, suddenly stopped, stared at Zhao Ming, grabbed Zhao Ming's hand, and said emotionally: "The Lone King has misunderstood the Qing family. The Qing family is really considering the Lone King!"
Although Zhu Yihai is also excellent, Zhao Ming's actions are actually maintaining the orthodox status of the Longwu court and ensuring a center in the world.
Seeing Zhu Yihai trusting him so much, Zhao Ming felt a little disgusted, but his face was very sincere, "This is what I should do!"
Zhu Yihai said: "I am afraid that Tang Fan will not agree!"
Zhao Ming held Zhu Yihai's hand tightly: "Leave it to me!"
