Chapter 352 Zhejiang Naval Uprising
His Majesty the Emperor was not in Zhoushan County.
In fact, the most prosperous part of Zhoushan at this time was not the county town.
This is an overseas trade port, and of course the most prosperous one is Fanfang. Zhoushan Fanfang is located in the south of the city. On the less than five miles between the wharf and the county town, a commercial area with Fanfang as the core has been formed. Merchants from various countries set up business names, warehouses, and even built residences here.
The palace of His Majesty the Emperor was set up in a European-style mansion just built by a local Portuguese merchant.
The Guangdong army, who also arrived here, also occupied the houses, warehouses, shops and other houses of the merchants in Fanfang for temporary stays.
The Guangdong Navy moored the sea surface on the south side of Wukui Mountain, and because there were not enough docks, they were anchored by the forts. The Zhejiang Navy was on the north side of Wukui Mountain, and the two fleets were separated by Wukui Mountain. After all, the two sides were not considered friendly, and they had not fought on the sea in the past. This arrangement can ensure that there would be no conflict, but now it is convenient for Yang Feng. They and the Guangdong Navy were separated from the Wukui Mountain, and the latter could not see what they were doing at the moment.
No one noticed it on the shore.
It was midnight and the whole Zhoushan was sleeping.
In the silence of midnight, thirty-four warships lined up on the sea, and a cannon inside the opened side gun door aimed at Fanfang.
However……
His Majesty the Emperor did not fall asleep.
"Your Majesty, I still beg you to beg for Guangzhou."
Liang Yunlong said earnestly.
Not only him, there were also a group of Fujian and Guangdong ministers such as Li Tingji, Guo Fu, Zhou Guanghao. They took advantage of the fact that the ministers from Zhejiang and Jiangsu were asleep and came to form a group to persuade the emperor to go south to Guangzhou.
"Hangzhou is too close to the bandit army, and it is a bandit area north of Deqing. What's more, Anji is in his hands, only Song Pass. The bandit army arrives day and night. Even if there are new fortresses, it is difficult to ensure that there are no new fortresses. Since ancient times, there are no one or two fortresses that can be foolproof. How can several new fortresses be better than three thousand miles? All the ministers in Zhejiang have selfish intentions and want to regard Your Majesty as a strange product. These people are loyal to you, but they actually have two hearts. They welcome Your Majesty to Hangzhou. They seem to be loyal to Your Majesty, but they actually want to bargain with the rebels with Your Majesty.
The rebellious party is also the minister of Your Majesty.
This generation welcomes Your Majesty, clears the crime of following Hongguang, becomes Your Majesty's minister, the princess is regent, and the Nanjing rebel party is also your Majesty's minister. There is no difference between the two sides.
If the matter is defeated, this person will still be his ministers rather than a rebellious party.
If necessary, sell Your Majesty to the Nanjing Rebel Party, and these people can still rely on betraying Your Majesty to protect their property.
If this generation has made contributions to Your Majesty, and if the previous new policy edict is in hand, Your Majesty will still control it.
Loyal minister?
Is this the case for loyal ministers?”
Liang Yunlong said.
Well, he still sees it clearly.
The gentry of Jiangsu Song, Zhejiang, welcomed Wanli in fact, was a good move because they could get rid of the Hongguang rebel party in this way.
You should know that Yang Feng has always been righteous when dealing with the gentry.
He controlled the emperor and followed Hongguang to resist him, all the rebels who betrayed Wanli. It was reasonable for him to confiscate the house and destroy the family. Of course, the rebels had to confiscate the house, but after the gentry of Song, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, was not the rebels, and they became ministers of Wanli again. Yang Feng could not use the charge of rebels to confiscate their houses. On the contrary, if they had the treasure of Wanli, even if they could not defeat them in the future, they could negotiate with Yang Feng and handed over Wanli in exchange for Yang Feng to give them some preferential treatment.
