Chapter 81
In this era, officials regarded the government as their home, with the front hall and the back room. Zhao Yingguo lived in the back house of the yamen.
Now Zhao Yingguo's study is in high fever, and Zhao Yingguo, who is sitting at the table, is excited and is writing a official report to Zhu Shuai, the King of Jinan who is in charge of Jinan.
Zhao Yingguo was an upright person, although he established Zhu Yousong as the emperor in Nanjing and established a small court of the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhao Yingguo was in the same mood as other civil and military officials in Shandong. The small court in Nanjing was not orthodox.
But Zhu Shuai, the King of Jinan, was the beggar of the Zhu family picked up by the roadside. He was granted by himself, just a banner. Everyone knows that if you really want to be serious, it is not countable.
At that time, I didn’t know the life and death of the prince when the capital fell, so everyone did not firmly oppose the existence of the Nanjing regime and cling to the group to keep warm under this banner.
But he still has hope and remains inseparable from the Nanjing regime.
When he learned that the prince was safe and the princess arrived, he was full of confidence in restoring the Ming Dynasty's reorganization.
At the same time, he did not resist the regent who suddenly appeared.
First of all, he had heard Zhang Ziyan, the daughter of the British Duke, who arrived first, talked about this brilliant example of Wang Xuejun.
Zhao Yingguo admired this act of sneaking into Beijing alone and saving the princess, the second princess among hundreds of thousands of bandits.
The feat of leading hundreds of thousands of refugees to the south and fighting the Qing Dynasty on the Zhulong River made him admire his love for the people even more.
Judging from his decisions, this Regent had real talents and knowledge, which made the Ming Dynasty a rare hero after its talent declined.
In the future, such a talented person is needed.
He wanted to convey the good news that the Regent took the princess to Jinan as soon as possible. Then he begged Zhu Shuai to come to Shandong to welcome the prince's ritual rack and ask the prince to ascend the throne to the throne to the country.
Just as he was writing hard, the servant in the gatehouse suddenly hurried in to report: "Master, the princess and the regent outside the yamen arrived in person."
When Zhao Yingguo heard this, he immediately stood up: "Hurry and serve me to change my clothes, open the middle door wide, and welcome the Feng Jia."
After opening the middle door, Zhao Yingguo official Dai Huihuang walked out quickly, and was far away in front of the princess' sedan chair, and bowed and bowed twice. Then, he met Wang Xuejun again with the courtesy of his colleagues. He respectfully invited the three of them to the yamen, opened the middle hall, and asked the princess to sit down.
After all the etiquette and rules were completed, Zhao Yingguo said: "What order does the princess have? Just send a maid to summon the officials. How can I disturb Feng Jia from here in person? I deserve to die."
Princess Changping praised him a few words, and then said to him: "If you want the Regent to tell you about the matter in person."
Zhao Yingguo quickly turned around and asked Wang Xuejun.
Wang Xuejun asked cautiously: "Did you give Jinan a written document to Jinan if you give the Prince's Second King, the Princess, and the fact that we are about to go south to Jinan?"
Zhao Yingguo immediately replied: "The official is writing a document and will send someone to Jinan Prefecture early tomorrow morning."
"What did Lord Zhao say in the official document?"
Inquiring like this is actually very impolite.
Zhao Yingguo replied in confusion: "Of course, it is to report it truthfully. Is there anything wrong with what the subordinates did?"
Wang Xuejun smiled and shook his head: "Is it not right?"
Zhao Yingguo became even more confused: "I would like to ask the Regent to make it clear."
Wang Xuejun said to him with his fingers in a temptation: "Now, Zhu Yousong, Nan Yousong is not orthodox and has secretly held a high position. He clearly knew that the prince survived, but he did not send anyone to welcome the prince. This is enough to prove that he is unwilling to give up the throne."
Zhao Yingguo nodded and said hatefully: "A group of clowns who are not orthodox, but they are soaked in monkeys. There is no two days and no two kings in the country. We should issue a manifesto to attack them."
"And to the north, the Qing Dynasty had already stolen the capital and its intention to occupy the Central Plains was obvious."
"A group of barbarians should expel them with all their might and restore the world of our Han Dynasty."
"Zhang Xianzhong, Sichuan and Li Zicheng, a bandit in Shaanxi, are still here to be the emperor, and the world is not pure."
Zhao Yingguo looked worried: "It's really worrying to have a country that has reached this point."
"When the prince ascended the throne, those who have ulterior motives and ulterior motives will surely destroy us soon."
"This is a hardship that must be suffered."
"At this time we need to show our strength, at least to shock those clowns."
"What the prince said makes sense, and this can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"And what is most worrying is Zhu Shuai's attitude."
Zhao Yingguo smiled and shook his head: "You can rest assured about this. Zhu Shuai's manifesto has been announced to the world. He is waiting for the prince to arrive."
But Wang Xuejun shook his head: "Things don't seem to be as simple as you imagined."
"How can I see it?"
"The troubled times have already begun, and all the ambitious people are ready to move, wanting to seize high positions in this troubled times and get full benefits. I think that although Zhu Shuai thought so in his heart, the people around him may not be like you, you. For example, the dog-like thing in the prefect of Hejian Prefecture responded to Zhu Shuai's call at the beginning. Once Manqin gave higher benefits, he sold us in a blink of an eye."
Zhao Yingguo punched the table hard: "The erratic shameless villain."
"I think there will be such people around Zhu Shuai. If the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty promised them high-ranking officials and generous salaries, if the Qing Dynasty promised him greater interests; or simply, they would be able to encourage Zhu Shuai to become independent in order to achieve his goals, and they would have to be careful of these."
Zhao Yingguo frowned and thought for a while, and finally had to nod and agreed to Wang Xuejun's point of view.
"And now we only have the territory of you, and the soldiers are more than 10,000. This will make the people around Zhu Shuai think that we are weak and cannot accomplish anything. This will aggravate the people around him on both sides of the head and rat, and become even more disinterested and trepidated."
Zhao Yingguo bowed: "The Regent is very considerate, because the subordinates are not considering it well. So what should we do next? Please let the Regent make clear."
Seeing that he was such a reasonable person, Wang Xuejun's heart was in his stomach.
"It's simple, we just want to bluff."
"What kind of bluffing method?"
"That is, all the 300,000 people I brought over were counted as an army. The master wrote to Zhu Shuai, saying that I had a 300,000 army, which could stabilize the hearts of the army and the people in Shandong, shock the surrounding thieves, and make the people of the world full of confidence in us."
Zhao Yingguo called ok, but hesitantly asked: "Can the world believe this?"
Wang Xuejun smiled confidently and said, "I am protecting the two princes and princesses from the capital among millions of bandits. Can I do it with my own strength?"
Without waiting for Zhao Yingguo to answer, Wang Xuejun himself explained: "Even I am a god, I can't do it. The reason why I can do it is because of the loyal protection of the royal army of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, who broke through the encirclement."
This is a very good reason.
Everyone in the world knows that the capital city has 100,000 Beijing camps and does not face Li Zicheng. There are 150,000 Jinyiwei raised by the royal family in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all elite soldiers and powerful generals.
They were ordered to protect the prince and the two princesses and break through the siege. That was their duty and it was their own responsibility.
"If the world doesn't believe it, then I will wipe out more than 20,000 main forces of the Qing Dynasty on the Zhulong River, no, more than 50,000. The forced Qing Dynasty had to send reinforcements to chase me. But I was scared away by me on the Ziya River. Do you know that there have always been the saying that the Jurchens are not satisfied with one thousand and one thousand. But since I did that, isn't that enough to show that I have a huge elite soldier in my hand?"
Zhao Yingguo was upright, but he was not a man who was unrepentant. Otherwise, he would not have been treacherous in occupying Shandong. According to the current situation, the incident of surrendering to Li Zicheng and the false snake happened.
When he heard that Wang Xuejun was bluffing with overall consideration, he thought it was necessary.
When he heard of Wang Xuejun's military achievements, he thought that Wang Xuejun really brought the most elite 100,000 Beijing camps and 150,000 Jinyiwei, rather than those refugees.
At this time, Li Yan stood up and saluted Zhao Yingguo solemnly: "For the great cause of the family and country, please feel wronged this time."
Princess Changping also walked down and bowed slightly: "Please also ask Lord Zhao to understand the regent's good intentions and tell this kind lie."
Wang Xuejun convinced others with reason, and the princess begged softly.
