The consul of Zhejiang and the envoy from Zhoushan arrived together and reported to Deng Ming that Zhenhai had returned to the Ming army. Zhang Huangyan was busy relocating a large number of Zhejiang East Army from Zhoushan back to Zhenhai. Some of the subordinates who returned to the mainland with them were Zheng Xi, Zheng Zan and Gan Hui. At the same time, Zhang Huangyan also wanted to ask Deng Ming to come forward to negotiate with Zheng Jing and return the King of Lu to the Zhejiang East Army.

Zhu Yihai was still alive in this life, and Zhang Huangyan kept reporting good news to King Lu. Zhu Yihai, who was as depressed as Wen Anzhi, also survived. Not long ago, Zhang Huangyan sent more envoys to tell King Lu that Zhenhai was about to return to the Ming army, and that he would immediately have the chance to set foot on the land of his motherland again. However, Zheng Jing, like his father, suspected that Zhang Huangyan wanted to establish another emperor, so he hesitated and refused to return the King of Lu. Now Zhang Huangyan has taken in Zheng Xi and his gang, and his relationship with Zheng Jing is very bad, so he hopes that Deng Ming will come forward to persuade Zheng Jing to release him.

"If the Guo surname is here, he will definitely not let King Lu go to Zhenhai." Although Zheng Jing has called himself Zhu Jing, except for his subordinates, everyone still regards "分分分分分" as a specific title for Zheng Chenggong. Due to the internal strife of the Zheng family, Mu Tan, who is so arrogant around Deng Ming, has vaguely surpassed his loyalty to Deng Ming: "分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分分�

"How can you retaliate? Deprive King Yanping of his official title and declare King Yanping a rebellion?" Deng Ming asked back. In fact, King Lu would not be confused and do such a thing. The current King and Minister of Lu and Zhang Huangyan are not the same pair for more than 20 years. They have become mature and steady due to setbacks. When Zhang Huangyan asked Deng Ming for help this time, he sweared that he just hoped to see King En set foot on his hometown with his own eyes and would never try to support King Lu and provoke internal strife in the Ming army again - Deng Ming believed in Zhang Huangyan's sincerity.

Moreover, Zhu Yihai was not the pampered and carefree clan of the royal family before. From the fact that he wanted to pass the throne to Deng Ming through Zhang Huangyan, he could see that he had no intention of competing for fame when he appeared in Lu. If the Zhejiang Army became the largest force in the Ming army, perhaps King Lu, Zhang Huangyan's monarch and ministers would be rekindled, but now there is nothing to worry about.

The biggest threat was Zheng Xi, Zheng Zanxu and his group. Out of hatred for Zheng Jing, they might instigate King Lu to become independent, and then declare Zheng Jing was rebellious and deprived the title of Prince Yanping from Zheng Jing to Zheng Xi. However, it is said that King Lu and Zhang Huangyan would not provoke internal conflicts in Guilu again for their personal grudges, and King Lu, Zheng Xi, Zheng Zanxu and others had no friendship.

Ren Tang strongly agreed with Zhang Huangyan's proposal: "The emperor has been hunting south for many years, and all the scholars and people in the world are discouraged and disappointed. If a Taizu family returned to the country now, it would be like a rising sun, which would definitely make the loyal and righteous people in the country happy. I think this is very good and is also very beneficial to the great cause of the Duke."

"When did the scholars and people get discouraged?" Li Xinghan said angrily: "The Duke of the State conquered Jiangnan again and again. Even if he was discouraged and disappointed before, he would have been excited. Moreover, King Lu came back. Will Zhang Shangshu have any idea of ​​supporting him in the future?"

"When Zi is in good condition today, even if there is something that cannot be said, the Eastern Palace is still there. Why should Zhang Shangshu support King Lu? Zhenhai was obtained by the Duke of the Kingdom, and King Lu came back only after safety. If he really wanted to return to his hometown, he could land on a boat like the Duke of the Kingdom. Didn't the Duke of the Kingdom land in Shandong with hundreds of people?" Zhao Tianba's current status has far exceeded that of most of the generals under Li Dingguo. He even held the command of the Sichuan Army on behalf of Deng Ming. The soldiers who obeyed his orders at that time were even larger than King Jin's troops. However, Zhao Tianba was still wary of King Lu: "Ah, by the way, this Zhenhai is just a small place, and Zhao Guozuo is not a trustworthy gentleman." Zhao Tianba turned to look at Deng Ming: "Duke should not agree to bring King Lu back. Zhenhai is not safe."

At this small-scale meeting of the Sichuan military, only Ren Tang agreed to help King Lu return to Zhenhai. Zhao Tianba tended to object. Mu Tan was undecided. Li Xinghan waited for Deng Ming's decision. Zhou Kaihuang did not say a word and seemed absent-minded. He was probably thinking about the recipe at noon. Zhou Kaihuang never cared about this kind of matter involving the Ming Dynasty royal family. Not long ago, Wang Guangxing also sent a secret envoy to Chengdu to report that when Deng Ming and Dong'an Prince came to live in Chengdu, Zhou Kaihuang made an exception and said, "This requires asking Hushang, and the meaning of Nan'an Hou (Hao Yaoqi)."

Deng Ming received news that this year, the Prince of Dong'an suddenly recognized that he was the prince of the King of Chu. He suspected that Gong Yan also had the credit for Gong Yan. In the past, Zhu Shenglu might have just suspected that Gong Yan might have fueled the fire after hearing the news. Moreover, the Prince of Dong'an also heard that the living conditions in Chengdu were much better than those in Fang County, so he hoped to move to the territory controlled by his family to enjoy the happiness.

"I will write to King Yanping." Deng Ming thought for a moment and decided to help Zhang Huangyan: "If a person's wish is to return to the motherland, there is no reason for us to disturb him, right?"

Of course, Deng Ming wrote to Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Xi and others to ensure that they would not cause trouble. The King of Lu could only stay in Zhenhai as a prince and not try to restore his status as a state supervising power.

The first reason was to convene senior military officers to meet today is to understand the views of the factions on King Lu through them. Now Deng Ming can only ask these subordinates to understand the general views of Ming troops across the country on one thing; and secondly, he wants to discuss Wu Sangui's new trends with them. For Deng Ming, the matter of King Lu is more important than Wu Sangui's letter, because King Pingxi is very far away from Deng Ming's range of activities, and Wu Sangui is an enemy of foreign countries. If the problem of King Lu is not properly handled, it may cause internal conflicts. If Zhang Huangyan disagrees with King Lu's return, Zhang Huangyan may feel dissatisfied and feels that Deng Ming is guarding against Chongming and Zhoushan, and he cannot believe Zhang Huangyan's guarantee.

"Wu Sangui has sent a letter to Yang Ge Lao again. I will test whether he can do it anyway. Anyway, I think Wu Sangui can't help it." According to time calculations, this letter was probably written by Wu Sangui after learning that the Qing Dynasty's Central Army returned to Xuzhou from the Huaiyang battlefield. Until now, Wu Sangui can't figure out what the Imperial Guard led by Yang Zai was about to write, so he kept writing letters to Yang Zai to try to get through this line with Emperor Yongli and Ma Jixiang and Ma Zhengjiao, but unexpectedly, all his letters were transferred by Yang Zai to Chengdu and Kunming.

After seeing the letter, Li Dingguo asked Yang Zai to contact the Emperor Yongli and ask the Emperor about the matter, but Yang Zai strongly opposed it, saying that no matter what the emperor issued an imperial edict, it was impossible to determine whether it was due to Yongli's original intention. Yang Zai also used Yongli's several edicts to Bai Wenxuan and Deng Ming to withdraw troops as an example, which left Li Dingguo with nothing to say. Bai Wenxuan, Ma Bao, He Jiuyi and others also agreed, thinking that the intentions of the emperor and the chief minister were difficult to guess - they were embarrassed to say in front of Li Dingguo at all, but they all had this view behind their backs - seeing that everyone's attitude was so consistent, Li Dingguo, who was a little disheartened to the emperor, did not insist on making Yongli arbitrary decision, and he also admitted that it was difficult to say whether the imperial edict was Yongli or Mangbai.

"Wu Sangui reiterated his request again, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would guarantee his position as a prince. He hoped that he could also get a one-character king like King Jin, King Shu and Sun Kewang. This request was mentioned last time. What was different from the last time was that Wu Sangui came up with a specific method of reward. Wu Sangui said that he was willing to command the army to attack Hunan, and first joined forces with me and the generals of Kuidong to destroy Zhang Changgeng. After taking Hunan, he would hand over Guizhou to King Jin."

"Wu Sangui is so hungry, right?" Zhao Tianba felt Wu Sangui's desire for Hunan from Deng Ming's words: "Hunan produces a lot of rice, and most of the time Wu Sangui is thinking about food now. Did he also suggest sending troops in May and June?"

Deng Ming looked down on Wu Sangui's letter and nodded: "Yes, Wu Sangui suggested that I attack Hubei at the beginning of next year to attract Zhang Changgeng's attention. Then he used this as a bargaining chip to ask the Qing court and Zhang Changgen for a joint salary and military ration. After he got the military ration, he would in the end of April and early May, the entire army would attack Hunan and then jointly resolve Zhang Changgeng. Well, it would be a good idea to go to Hunan in May, and it would not affect the cultivation of Hunan. After eating the salary he cheated, it would be time to harvest in autumn. Wu Sangui really made a good plan."

"And Wu Sangui definitely thinks it is easier to solve Zhang Changgeng with us. Compared with Huguang Green Camp, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao and Sun Yanling's vassal soldiers were obviously harder to deal with." Zhao Tianba continued: "So Wu Sangui would probably keep his promise and hand over Guizhou to the King of Jin, so that the King of Jin's troops could go to Guangdong and Guangxi, Fujian to chew tough problems, and he would go to Jiangnan with us to eat meat."

"Isn't Wu Sangui's son still in Beijing?" Ren Tang asked a question: "Can his 100,000 troops listen to him? These are all the troops that Luting has raised for many years, and most of the Luting has also spread their eyes in it and has supported many factions, right?"

"Wu Sangui won't care about a son, and he might be able to get his son out of Beijing again," Seeing his subordinates' disbelief on his face, Deng Ming smiled and said, "Don't underestimate King Pingxi. This guy is cruel and wise. He has been in Guizhou for several years. I guess he has pulled out all the nails placed in his army and the people's hearts have been comforted."

As for the excuse, Deng Ming couldn't help but wonder if Wu Sangui would also call his concubine who was left in Beijing, or his daughter-in-law (the possibility is relatively low) or his son's concubine was snatched away by Sony? Wu Sangui was angry at the gate for the beauty and fought from Shanhaiguan to Friendship Pass. This time he was angry and went back to Shanhaiguan from Friendship Pass?
