Beiyang new warlord

However, in this imperial court, the high-society playboy Lu Feili did not have the frivolity of Mao Jue's reception at all, because he mishandled it, misjudged Ming's strength, and angered Mao Jue, which led to the Dutch East Indies. The company lost the precious opportunity to cooperate with Daming, and the 13-member shareholder meeting was very annoyed.

Fortunately, he has an uncle who is an executive director, and he provided enough useful information, so he was not pushed to the end and went to a small island in the Pacific Ocean next to cannibals to open a small shop, but it was also because This information is what gave him today's itinerary.

There is more than one Great Ming, and the Southern one seems to be a little bit more correct. Since it has turned against Beiming, then support Nanming and go to war with it!Pull one faction to fight another faction, this is also the consistent method of the Dutch to deal with the natives.

Although the aboriginal background is a bit big today.

With a thumping sound, Lu Feili threw himself on the ground three times and bowed nine times. Lu Feili paste himself on the ground like a rice cake, kowtowed his head, and praised loudly in Nanjing Mandarin.

"The barbarians from outside the territory kowtow to see the Son of Heaven!"

Hearing this strange accent, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and others felt as if they heard the fairy sound, their old faces twitched with excitement.

The highest ideal of Confucianism in governing the country, self-restraint and rites, they basically achieved it, and the tents were basically trapped in the farm and became slaves. After this blow, the prosperous industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River almost disappeared. The manor model of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties was basically copied in the Nanming Dynasty. In the next step, they can all do what the Jianwen Emperor failed to do, and restore the well field system in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The only shortcoming is that Wan Guo, which shows the grandeur of a great country, has come to the dynasty. After all, the century-old younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, Li's North Korea, is now trampled under Mao Jue's feet to serve as a place for labor and mercenaries to export. The scissors are not dumping. The country of Wa was also beaten up by the Northern Ming Dynasty with a bruised nose and a swollen face, spitting out Japanese slaves. The countries in the Indochina Peninsula either lost contact with the Ming Dynasty because of the fall of Sichuan to Zhang Xianzhong Daxi, or used Siam and Annan like Mao Frightened by Jue's strong boat and sharp cannon, he knelt down under Mao Jue's big slippers. The prosperous Ming Dynasty in the past has lost a single younger brother. What's the face?

But at this juncture, the Dutch came all the way to pay tribute. How can the Donglin princes not be honored?

Looking at Lu Feili who kowtowed, not to mention Qian Qianyi and others, even Zhu Yousong who was sitting on the dragon chair showed a little interest. It was so rare to approach such a polite monkey.

It was very strenuous, he arched his fat body forward, leaned forward with difficulty, and asked greasy.

"Hongmao Fanguo, I've never heard of it. Where is your country? How big is your country? How many people are there?"

There were quite a few Western missionaries in Nanjing in this era, and most of them were Spanish. A while ago, they had a massacre feud with Mao Jue, and a Jesuit missionary translated it in a hurry.

But this trip was not to popularize geographical knowledge for Zhu Yousong. He was anxious, so Lu Feili knelt up straight, took out a parchment from his arms, and yelled in Dutch.

"Son of Ming Dynasty, our Netherlands is thousands of miles away in Europe, but in Southeast Asia, we also have territory. Recently, the warlord in the north, the barbarian Mao Jue, attacked our territory. I heard that he also seized the territory of Ming Dynasty. The emperor's power rests. , the Parliament believes that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Dutch Parliament is willing to form an alliance with His Majesty to deal with our enemies together!"

"The Dutch parliament is willing to sell Western firearms to Daming, send instructors to teach us the advanced combat tactics of the Netherlands, and train your majesty's army. We are also willing to donate the Seven Provinces of the Lowlands to Daming to imitate and fight against Mao Jue's evil navy. able"

Ru Feili's words are eloquent. The Dutch really spent a lot of money in order to protect the East Indies and their commercial monopoly in Asia. If Mao Jue heard this condition ten years ago, he would be drooling with excitement, but In the ears of these scholar-bureaucrats in Daming, they only heard the first one, which came from thousands of miles away.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's benevolence spreads far and wide, even the small countries of the Western Faction thousands of miles away, all admire the glory of my Ming Dynasty and come to pay tribute! My Great Tomorrow is as powerful as it is!"

With a high voice, Qian Qianyi was almost on the point of singing, and bowed with great excitement, and Minister of Rites, Wang Qia, also bowed heavily as if his mouth had been covered with honey.

"Elder Qian Ge's words are very true. If the red hair comes to court, it is auspicious from heaven. The old minister believes that the world should be pardoned!"

It's rare that the gentlemen agreed and didn't scold him anymore. Zhu Yousong was quite happy now, but Lu Feili was still chattering in Gringo, and he already slapped him heavily.

"Hongmaofan has a heart! According to my will, canonize the Lord of Hongmaofan as the king of Henan, and the Ministry of Rites drafts the canonization edict, engraves the seal of the king of Henan, and returns gifts. There must be no mistakes!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang just knelt down and gave a big bow.

At this time, Lu Feili finally finished talking dryly about the negotiation conditions given to him by the parliament. He raised his head expectantly, but what came into his eyes was the twitching old face of an old eunuch.

Tian Cheng, who also came out of Old Fu Wang's Mansion, took the parchment scroll with a half smile, and waved his hand towards the palace gate.

"The letter of credence has been accepted, and the red-haired fan will step down!"

This is the end?Do you agree or not to form an alliance with the Netherlands?

Lu Feili was at a loss, and was pinched down by several big Han generals.

This is a great joy for Nanming, and the lessons of deceiving tribute in the past have been completely forgotten. Several Mr. Donglin discussed with each other how to give Hongmaofan a gift in return, and how to get rid of it. The Seven Provinces of the Lowlands who came as a tribute were dragged up along the Qinhuai River, but at this time, Jin Yiwei hurried in at the gate again, and whispered a few words in the ear of the second assistant Gao Hongtu.

Full of astonishment, he froze for a moment, glanced at Hongguang Emperor Gao Hongtu who was still wandering in vain, and simply slapped him.

"not see!"

"What happened?"

Qian Qianyi asked in astonishment, but Gao Hongtu, an upright gentleman, also carefully lowered his voice and lowered his head.

"Shi Kefa asks for an interview, I want to face the saint!"

"This Shi Kefa has completely embarrassed his teacher Zuo Guangxian!"

After hearing this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but snorted in disgust.

The Donglin party members really can't change their habit of fighting among themselves!Only when they were the only ones in Donglin, the old school of Donglin and the new generation of Fushe fought against each other again.

Among them, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and others who are in power believe that self-restraint and restoration of rituals should be resumed, and Zhou rituals should be restored. Most of the scholars who came from Kefushe came from small industrial and landlord families. They were a powerful blow, so after killing Ma Shiying and running away Ruan Dacheng, the conflict between Fushe and Donglin became acute again.

After the fall of Yangzhou, the contradiction between Shi Kefa and Donglin reached the extreme. Although he still had the title of a scholar of the first auxiliary university, he was completely excluded from the imperial court. What's more, he also favored the restoration of society and advocated the revitalization of Jiangnan business. , Opening the sea to take money, enriching the people and strengthening the army, it's strange that Gao Hongtu and Qian Qianyi can let him go to court.

But is Shi Kefa a person who gives up so easily?

At the gate of the palace, after hearing the eunuch's cold humming that His Majesty was gone, he bowed again in sweat, but forced a newspaper full of ink smell into the eunuch's hand.

"Emperor Daily"!

"Father-in-law, it's okay for His Majesty not to see you, please trouble your father-in-law, you must hand over this newspaper to Mr. Gao and Mr. Qian, it's a matter of life and death!!!"

Beads of sweat the size of peas kept dripping from Shi Kefa's forehead, full of reality, he shouted hurriedly

Chapter 7. Three Days in the Left Town

This is the gap in the efficiency of the empire. The news of Li Zicheng's death, the closest to the Nanming court, knew nothing about it, and the capital, thousands of miles away, had already reported it.

On the day when Lu Zhong started, the news had already been sent out through the Xi-Xu Railway for thousands of miles, and this issue of the newspaper was still published in Xuzhou, and [-] copies were transported to Jiangnan by water in the first time. On the eighth day after his death, Shi Kefa saw the news.

It's just that Shi Kefa is not a qualified commander in terms of military affairs. He didn't see the danger signal Mao Jue sent to Jiangnan at all. The dragons have no leader, and the opportunity to conquer Huguang seems to have come!

Watching the eunuch walk towards the palace with the newspaper in his arms, Shi Kefa was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and shouted from behind: "Don't miss this opportunity! Don't hand it over to Mr. Qian!"

It's a pity that Shi Kefa was so passionate about serving the country, the eunuch turned around and rolled up the newspaper, and threw the newspaper into the Jinshui River, humming disdainfully at the same time.

"You're too old to be a bachelor, do you want to dance too?"

"Look at him, don't let him in!"

The source of news that Shi Kefa finally brought was cut off just like that. As for whether there is any other news that can reach the ears of Qian Qianyi and Gao Hongtu?I'm sorry, these Donglin officials have never bothered to read the barbaric and rough Lao Shizi newspaper in the north.

Although the incident happened in Huguang, the news went around in a big circle. The military department in Nanjing didn't know about the great changes in Shunguo, let alone General Zuo Liangyu who was in Wuchang.

Li Zicheng was in the Jianshun Imperial Palace in Xiangyang, and Zuo Liangyu was not idle either. It seems that people in this era have a common problem. If they have money, they must build a house. Just like Zheng Zhilong built the Zheng family's old house for dozens of miles in his hometown, Zuo Liangyu also lived in Wuchang. The house stretched for more than ten miles, and the scene, yard after yard, house after house, was almost as luxurious as the imperial palace.

The world seems to be really peaceful, and even the warriors are content with having fun. This evening, the Zuo family mansion was full of excitement and excitement. Guazi drank tea and listened to the song with Marshal Zuo. On the stage, Zuo Liangyu's concubine 37, concubine 39, and concubine [-] were shaking their long sleeves and singing Kunqu opera. .

Today's Zuo Liangyu Chuzhen can almost be compared to the Wei Bo, Fan Yang and other feudal towns in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Most of Huguang is the only one who has the final say, and the tax is in the palm of his hand, and he can still get it from the court every year. With military expenditures of one million taels, such a malignant tumor was lying on the body of the Nanming Dynasty to absorb nutrition. I really don't know where Gao Hongtu's feeling of peace in the world came from.
