Southern Ming, my destiny is too abstract

Chapter 124 Guoxing, let's burn the whole world

Ming Zheng is also Ming.

Zhu Cixuan agreed with this in his heart.

But others don't think so.

During the past ten years, there were five regimes in the remnant Ming Dynasty. The remnants of Prince Lu and the remnants of Yongli each served their own side of the Zhu family.

The Thirteen Families of Kuidong served Li Zicheng, and the Ming troops in the southeast served Zheng Yanping.

The Dashi Army also supported Sun Kewang and Zhang Xianzhong. It was only after Li Dingguo failed in his two attacks on eastern Guangdong and was about to be sent by Sun Guozhu to seize power that the Western Camp began to truly support Emperor Yongli.

Everyone knew this before Zhu Cixuan's sudden rise.

It was still easy for the Yongli Dashi regime to revive the Ming Dynasty, but the other three factions would never allow the Gui clan to rule if they took over the world.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen Zheng Yanping as the heir, which is simply against the will of heaven and reason.

Nan Huairen was not an expert on China, so he hesitated and simply took it as a record of the change of the Roman dynasty.

Liu Xuanchu did not dare to accept the order.

It’s not that we don’t dare, but that we can’t.

He is the military advisor of the Western Camp and the Crown Prince, and he must not accept this false edict.

Not to mention whether the Prince of Jin would skin him alive, even the Prince of Gongchang Bai Wenxuan next to him was staring at him intently.

Liu Xuanchu clenched his teeth.

Freed from the constraints of the court officials in the southwest, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became even more free and unrestrained.

It is enough to use the general trend to pressure Zheng Yanping, why should we give him the orthodox position?

It’s not like the emperor is trapped in a foreign country and the country is in danger now.

But the hope of revival can be handed over to Zheng Yanping, who still has power in the southeast.

The Ming Dynasty had already established itself in Southeast Asia and had a territory of thousands of miles, imitating the power of Yelu Dashi.

The prince spoke nicely and asked Zheng Yanping to support the emperor and his younger brother.

But if the prince, who loves taking risks so much, dies halfway, the southeast and southwest, which have the right to succeed the throne, will inevitably split.

Ma Xin, Yang Chaodong and others trembled all over and looked at Prince Yongli in amazement.

If I hadn't noticed the ambush of the swordsmen before coming in.

They all thought that the prince was testing Koxinga's desire to establish his own independence.

This is even more powerful than Emperor Longwu.

More Tang Dynasty than Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Emperor Longwu bestowed the surname Guo on Lord Guoxing, a favor as heavy as a mountain.

Emperor Yongli directly gave the country to Koxinga as a gift.

The officials of Yizhou were all in a daze.

The monarch in the storytelling actually appeared in reality.

In ancient times, Liu Xuande entrusted his son to the care of Zhuge Liang in Baidi City, and now Zhu Cixuan in Relanzha entrusted his father to the care of Zheng Yanping.

This time, Koxinga did not die before the emperor or the royal heir, nor did he die on the way to the Northern Expedition.

The Zheng family will never be able to repay the Zhu family’s debt in ten generations.

In the past, Koxinga owed the Tang clan a great deal, but now he owes the Gui clan a hundred times more.

Zheng Yanping's body trembled slightly, his nose felt a little sore. He forced the prince who was supporting him to stagger, took his hand and knelt: "I dare not do such a usurpatory thing."

"Your Highness, please revoke your order."

"Your Highness, please revoke your order!"

Someone spoke before Zheng Yanping, and the hot-tempered orthodox Ming army soldier Hu Yiqing was already kneeling on the ground.

Bai Wenxuan and Ma Bao hesitated for a moment, then knelt down to give some advice.

Hu Yiqing's voice shook the hall and echoed continuously: "Your Highness inherited the Mandate of Heaven and revived the Ming Dynasty. You are truly a sage."

"The orthodox title belongs to Zhu Ming. This dynasty still has its true ruler. Why should we rely on others to establish legitimacy?"

"The Emperor and the other members of the royal family disagree, the elders of the Jin Prince disagree, and I disagree too."

Zhu Cixuan shook Zheng Yanping's hand and turned to ask, "Duke Weiguo, you are from the command of the Prince of Zhongxiang in Huguang, don't you recognize Emperor Xiang?"

The Yunnan Army initially left Yunnan at the call of Emperor Hongguang. As soon as they arrived in Huguang, the Southern Capital fell, and Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan joined He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao obeyed the Longwu edict, so they naturally recognized Emperor Longwu.

Hu Yiqing hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Cixuan continued, "Since you recognize Emperor Xiang, you no longer recognize the national surname bestowed by Emperor Xiang?"

"If you accept the surname bestowed by Emperor Xiang, why not accept the nationality bestowed by me?"

Zhu Cixuan pulled Zheng Yanping up and looked him straight in the eye, saying, "Even Chenggong still feels that I am not as good as the late Emperor Longwu?"

Zheng Yanping looked at the Crown Prince Yongli, who was younger than his eldest son, and felt that he was being severely manipulated.

"I will thank Your Highness for your great grace and will live up to the trust placed in me by the late Emperor."

"Your Highness is young. I have heard that you often go into battle in person. I regret that you did not protect the late emperor in the past."

"If I am not dead, Your Highness will have nothing to worry about."

Zhu Cixuan looked around at the ministers who were still trying to persuade him and said calmly, "Father and the heir are still in Ava, what danger is there?"

"If I cannot revive the country, what can the King of Jin do? I and the King of Jin will be in trouble."

"Can the heavy responsibility of restoring the empire be entrusted to the Nanyang court and my father?"

"Besides, haven't you seen my bravery? Even if a million-strong Eastern Tartar army surrounded me, what could they do to me?"

Hu Yiqing and the others looked at each other.

It seems to be true.

When tens of thousands of Qing troops surrounded and attacked in eastern Yunnan, the prince was able to climb up the mountains and cling to the cliffs, and escape from danger many times with his 500 personal soldiers.

Crossing rivers and seas is like walking on flat ground.

They wouldn't be surprised even if the prince flew into the sky one day.

The prince who was known for his achievements in the heavens and the earth had passed away halfway through his life, so how could Zheng Yanping still live? He understood that the prince's promise to Zheng Yanping was just empty words.

Hu Yiqing and others, who had just had a false alarm, slowly stood up, but still stared at Zheng Yanping fiercely, feeling somewhat envious and jealous.

It was just tens of millions of taels of military pay from maritime trade and an army of more than 100,000.

Why did Zheng Yanping receive such favor from the prince?

"Prince Yanping, the Emperor Xiang of the past unfortunately did not have a daughter to marry you. I wonder if you have a daughter to marry me?"

Seeing that the prince was forming another marriage alliance, Liu Xuanchu, Bai Wenxuan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince is still the same prince.

I almost thought he had fallen into Zheng Yanping's trap.

Waiting to obtain the marriage permission of Zheng Yanping's two daughters of marriageable age.

Zhu Cixuan then asked about the situation in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

"After Zhang Huangyan abandoned Zhoushan, there were no Ming troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Only some Ming officials who remained secretly passed on information to us and raised military funds."

"But after the defeat of the Southern Capital, the pseudo-Qing Dynasty relocated its borders, closed its sea borders, and established garrisons for defense. The remaining officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang had no choice but to go to Fujian for communication."

"Eastern Guangdong." Zheng Yanping paused.

"Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi retreated to the mountains after the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi was completely defeated. Wang Xing and the Little Tang King were besieged by Shang Kexi for thirteen months and died when their food ran out."

There were three famous Tang kings in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian, the Prince of Longwu of Tang, Zhu Youlang, the Prince of Shaowu of Tang, and their younger brother Zhu Youe, the Prince of the Young Tang.

After the fall of Guangzhou, the Little King of Tang fled into the mountains and took refuge with Wang Xing.

When Emperor Yongli first ascended the throne, in addition to the Prince of Lu as regent, there were three other regents from the royal family vying for the throne.

Even Zheng Yanping himself supported him as the Prince of Huai and regent.

Zheng Yanping nominally supported the Yongli regime, but it was still the Little Prince of Tang who mediated between them.

In order to remain loyal to the Tang vassal state, the young Tang King hanged himself and followed his two brothers.

Zheng Yanping continued, "Generals Deng Yao and Chen Qi Ce from Qinzhou were also captured by the Qing army. News has come from eastern Guangdong that they have been killed for their country."

"When the entire Guangdong and Guangxi regions fell, my former general Yang Yandi raised the anti-Qing banner and occupied the Bailong Peninsula, intending to recapture Qinzhou."

From Wuwu to Xinhai, the resistance against the Qing Dynasty lasted for 293 years.

Guangdong and Guangxi fought three desperate battles.

With Yongli's expedition to the south and Guo Lian's retreat to seclusion, the first anti-Qing resistance in Guangdong and Guangxi came to an end.

Zhu Cixuan was in a low mood for a moment.

However, when Zhu Cixuan heard Zheng Yanping say that Jinxia had no food or money, he looked at Zheng Yanping in some surprise.

The year before last, he raised an army of 200,000 to recapture the Southern Capital, squandering all his savings of more than ten years.

Last year, there were 200,000 troops fighting against the Qing army, which was another huge expenditure on food and wages.

Maritime trade plummeted after Japan banned maritime trade during the Qing Dynasty.

Grain ships purchased from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong were also intercepted by the Qing army.

In addition, some generals under Zheng Yanping were corrupt and embezzled money.

This year, Zheng Yanping sent 20,000 troops to recapture Yizhou, and his family fortune was completely drained.

If it weren't for the great victory in Kinmen and Xiamen last year, the Ming army in Donghai would have fallen apart long ago.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but glance at Zheng Yanping's attributes again.

It turns out that your four-dimensional values, Zheng Ershiwan, are all just bloated.

Not only did the Ming army along the coast not only fail to assist Zhu Cixuan, but they also asked Zhu Cixuan to pay them subsidies.

Now let alone attacking the southeast and tying down the Qing army in Guizhou and Guizhou.

The Ming troops in Jin and Xiamen had difficulty supporting Zhu Cixuan's surprise attack on the two capitals.

Zhu Cixuan thought for a moment.

It is no longer possible to launch a surprise attack on the southern capital.

I can only go to the capital.

As for food, fodder, and military pay...

Zhu Cixuan's thoughts turned slightly: "Guo Xing, have you forgotten your father's family's business?"

Zheng Yanping was stunned when he heard the voice.

Looking at the Crown Prince who was ready to make a move, he felt that the Crown Prince was more like a pirate than he was.

Zhu Cixuan glanced at the ministers in the hall and spoke to Zheng Yanping in a serious tone.

"I told Wu Sangui that in order to revive the Ming Dynasty and restore China, I would not hesitate even if the entire world was engulfed in flames."

"Guo Xing, let's burn the whole world and use them as firewood for the Ming Dynasty's revival."

After hearing the prince's plan, Zheng Yanping was stunned again.

I soon realized that if things were happening in the South Seas, then the East China Sea would be involved.

"If the Ming Dynasty is gone, what's the point of keeping this world?"

Zheng Yanping opened his mouth, revealing his sharp white teeth: "I wish to follow Your Highness to overthrow the world and revive the Ming Dynasty."

Ma Xin and Yang Chaodong couldn't help but look at Liu Xuanchu, who was also looking at them helplessly.

Looking at the nervous prince and Guoxing.

An idea popped up in the minds of several people.

Ruined.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hysterical, and the Prince of Yanping is also crazy.

The Jin Wang Ge Lao in Yunnan and Hongsha, and Zheng Tai and Zhang Huangyan in Jinxia Island are normal and can suppress the prince's surname.

When they arrived in Yizhou, the two crazy kings and their ministers were of the same mind and wanted to turn the imperial Ming Dynasty into a crazy Ming Dynasty.
