The first thousand and seventieth chapters
Lu Faxuan placed the document in his hand on the desk, with a smile on his face.
The next purpose of the emperor and the court is very clear, which is to destroy the Longwu court and unify the entire south. Zhang Xianzhong was beheaded. Sun Kewang, the successor of Emperor Daxi, has surrendered to the court. Wu Sangui is leading an army to Sichuan Province to regain Sun Kewang.
At the same time, they tried their best to stabilize the situation in Sichuan. Zhang Dongtao stayed in Huguang and was stabilizing the situation in Huguang.
Judging from the current situation, Huguang, Sichuan and Guangdong and other places have been basically controlled by the Denglai New Army, so there is no big problem. As for Guangxi and Yunnan and other places, there is no big problem. There is a Guizhou state in Yunnan
Gong Mu Tianbo was the general of the Ming Dynasty conquering the south and the chief military officer of Yunnan. His family had been operating in Yunnan for many years and had a certain power. However, compared with Denglai's new army, his power was nothing at all. If Mu Tianbo could surrender to the imperial court,
You can also save your life and family. If you continue to resist, you will definitely be completely wiped out by Denglai's new army.
The problem in Zhejiang is no longer big. Liu Ning personally led an army to attack Zhejiang and firmly controlled Hangzhou. He is now marching towards Shaoxing, preparing to defeat Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Zhibao who are stationed in Shaoxing Fucheng. This will give the Zheng family the heaviest blow.
There is also Qiao Mingjun, who leads the navy from Taiwan Island to the waters of Fujian, and will directly attack the navy of the Zheng family.
Lu Faxuan also did not take the Longwu Court seriously. The so-called Longwu Court, including Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian, was only supported by the Zheng family. Once the Zheng family was wiped out, the Longwu Court would cease to exist.
When the situation was improving, Lu Faxuan received a secret letter from Ma Shiying.
The Longwu court and Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian sensed the danger and prepared to fight to the death.
However, in Lu Faxuan's view, the layout of the Longwu court was a big joke.
Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Zhejiang, and Liu Liangzuo, the chief military officer of Jiangxi, have already submitted to the Wu court. As for Gao Jie, who is stationed in Guangzhou Fucheng, he has long been a chess piece placed by the Wu court in the Longwu court. Zhu Yujian is the only one who can rely on
The Zheng family is being attacked by Denglai's new army and is in a desperate situation.
Of course, Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian didn't know all this, and Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong and others whom Zhu Yujian trusted most didn't know, and they were still doing their best to do useless work.
Lu Faxuan did not care about Ma Shiying's secret letter, but a proposal in the secret letter aroused his attention, which was to dispatch the army under Gao Jie to Fuzhou, Fujian, to protect the Longwu court.
If the Denglai New Army can be dispatched smoothly into Fuzhou, Fujian, the war to unify the south will be much simpler. The Denglai New Army can avoid too many fights and massacres, capture thieves and capture the king, and once Longwu is destroyed
The imperial court, or even the Zheng family, can quickly stabilize the situation in the south. Otherwise, the remnants of the Longwu imperial court will be scattered among the people, which will still cause some troubles in the future. In addition, the emperor is relatively soft-hearted in these matters and is unwilling to do so.
Killing too much will definitely leave consequences.
For example, how to treat Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong and others, especially Chen Zilong among them. The emperor had a relationship with Chen Zilong, so he would definitely want to let Chen Zilong go. However, he is determined to restore the Ming Dynasty. If he is soft-hearted, he will
It left huge hidden dangers.
Lu Faxuan remembers the emperor's words very clearly: when the two countries are confronting each other, those who are truly capable and capable in the enemy country, if they cannot be used for their own purposes, must be eliminated ruthlessly to avoid future troubles.
In a short period of time, Lu Faxuan made up his mind and spoke to an official standing not far away.
"Go and invite Mr. Liao to come. I have something to discuss with Mr. Liao..."
Five days ago, cabinet minister and Left Governor Liao Wenru came to Nanjing on behalf of the emperor and the court.
Liao Wenru came to Nanjing and clarified the emperor's attitude. Lu Faxuan and Liao Wenru were both civil and military. Lu Faxuan was mainly responsible for local governance, and Liao Wenru was mainly responsible for the expedition of the new army in Denglai. Of course, on major matters, the two
It's still a matter of discussion.
As the Governor of Southern Zhili, Lu Faxuan is also a cabinet minister and has an unusual relationship with the emperor, so his vision is somewhat high. Among the cabinet ministers, Lu Faxuan is convinced by Zeng Yongzhong, the chief minister of the cabinet. Zeng Yongzhong
After all, Your Excellency is the Emperor's mentor. With this status, Lu Faxuan does not dare to underestimate him, followed by Liao Wenru. Liao Wenru has always been by the Emperor's side. It can be said that he is the most trusted person by the Emperor, the kind of person who can be entrusted with his life.
, and brave and resourceful, the development and growth of the Denglai New Army cannot be separated from Liao Wenru, so Lu Faxuan still respects Liao Wenru, and finally Shi Kefa. The two are of the same age and respect each other. As for other people in the DPRK
People, including cabinet minister Hong Chengchou, Zuo Du Yushi Huang Zongxi and others, Lu Faxuan really didn't care.
When Liao Wenru entered the room, Lu Faxuan walked over quickly.
"Master Liao, our opportunity has come..."
Liao Wenru smiled and nodded.
"The opportunity Mr. Lu is talking about is because Emperor Longwu plans to let Gao Jie lead an army into Fuzhou..."
Lu Faxuan looked at Liao Wenru, clasped his hands and laughed.
"The heroes have the same idea. Master Liao has pointed out the most critical point. If our plan can be realized, the south can be pacified in one fell swoop."
Liao Wenru suppressed his smile, looked at Lu Faxuan and spoke.
"Master Lu, I have just thought about it. This is our best opportunity. I am going to personally lead 50,000 soldiers of the Denglai New Army to Fuzhou Fucheng to make decisions on many matters on the fly, so as not to miss the best opportunity.
.”
Lu Faxuan's expression became serious and he gave a thumbs up to Liao Wenru.
"This is the best move. If Mr. Liao personally leads the troops to Fuzhou City, I think this battle that has been planned for many years will be over soon. Once things in the south are settled, the emperor and the court can plot matters in the north."
Liao Wenru waved his hand.
"Lord Lu, this is what I should do. Since the emperor sent me to Nanjing, it is to unify the south. Since the best opportunity has come, of course I have to do my best. I have some ideas. Please ask Lu
Sir, please help me correct it..."
Lu Faxuan also waved his hand, looked at Liao Wenru and spoke.
"Master Liao is too polite. It is still dangerous for you to lead an army to Fuzhou City. However, judging from the current situation, it is also the best way for Master Liao to personally lead the troops to Fuzhou City. It can handle many matters directly. Master Liao
If you have any ideas, tell me and I will help you with your advice. I won’t dare to take it seriously..."
Liao Wenru smiled and spoke.
"Lord Lu, I believe that this time when the army goes to Fuzhou City, it is necessary to stabilize the situation in Fujian in one fell swoop. How to deal with the Longwu court and the Zheng family is the most critical point. If we handle it well, the situation in Fujian will soon be resolved.
After stabilizing, the situation in the entire south has basically stabilized. If we make a mistake in handling it, there will be future troubles..."
Lu Faxuan gave Liao Wenru a thumbs up again.
"Master Liao said it well, I would like to hear the details."
A decisive smile flashed on Liao Wenru's face.
"Master Lu, my idea is very simple. Anyone who can be used by the emperor and the court will be kept, and the rest will be killed. No one will be left alive, and the roots will be eradicated. If I do this, the emperor will most likely blame or even punish him, but I agree.
Already..."
Lu Faxuan looked at Liao Wenru, his expression became solemn.
"Master Liao, I think so too. Whatever you do when you go to Fuzhou City is a decision we made together after discussion. If the emperor and the court are to blame, you must not be responsible for it alone. I will also accept the decision made by the court.
punishment..."
Liao Wenru looked at Lu Faxuan, sighed and spoke.
"Master Lu, you and I have been with the Emperor for many years. The Emperor is kind-hearted and is unwilling to go on a killing spree. I can almost conclude that when the Emperor faces Huang Daozhou and others, he will definitely be lenient and will not even kill.
The emperor had such confidence in killing Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian, but we who actually did the work must share the burden for the emperor. We cannot leave these huge hidden dangers and let the emperor worry about it in the end. In fact, before I came to Nanjing,
The emperor also specifically talked about how to deal with Zhu Yujian, Huang Daozhou, Zheng Zhilong and others. The emperor also specifically mentioned Zheng Chenggong, Chen Zilong and others. The emperor's talents and strategies are not something that we can replicate, so I will deal with Fujian according to my own ideas.
All matters..."
Lu Faxuan nodded vigorously.
"Master Liao said it well, we should think like this. My opinion is that Zhu Yujian can never stay, and Huang Daozhou cannot stay either. This person is a great Confucian in the previous dynasty and has a great influence.
It is impossible to surrender to the emperor and the court. Staying will definitely be a trouble in the future. As for Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and others, it depends on their attitude. If they are willing to surrender, their troops must be completely wiped out. For the rest, it depends on their attitude.
..."
Liao Wenru sighed.
"Master Lu, you are still merciful. I think that Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Chen Zilong and others, including Mu Tianbo from Yunnan, cannot survive, and the imperial court will not recruit them. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng will
If it is enough, we can show the tolerance of the emperor and the court. Our purpose is to stabilize the local situation so that the emperor and the court can deal with other matters with all their strength without having to worry about things in the south..."
Lu Faxuan was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists at Liao Wenru.
"Master Liao, you are more profound than I thought. I admire you. Your decision is right. I absolutely support it. If the emperor takes the blame in the future, I and Master Liao will bear the responsibility together..."
Liao Wenru also clasped his fists at Lu Faxuan.
