Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wang Chengen:

"Go down and get ready tonight and go back tomorrow morning."

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, turned and left.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand.

Wei Guozheng left with a group of attendants.

Only Zhu Youjian, Wei Guozheng, and Fang Zhenghua were left in the room.

Zhu Youjian tapped the table with his fingers a few times and asked Fang Zhenghua to sit down and answer.

Fang Zhenghua said:

"Your Majesty, Xuzhou is an important passage leading directly to the south of the Yangtze River. This place is of great importance."

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and asked another thing:

"How much control do you have over Jiangnan?"

Zhu Youjian's question was very clever.

He was not asking how much territory Fang Zhenghua controlled, but how many powerful families he could control.

Fang Zhenghua replied:

"Your Majesty, I have not attracted many wealthy families in Jiangnan. However, as long as I am allocated [-] troops and horses, I should be able to capture most of Jiangnan within half a year."

Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea and leaned on the back of the chair.

He laughed:

"Banban, even if I win Jiangnan, will I be sure of it?"

Fang Zhenghua also smiled.

There are only His Majesty's own people here, and Fang Zhenghua also told everything in detail.

“Your Majesty, the people of Jiangnan rely on wealthy families for their existence.

The old slave can take Jiangnan, but there is nothing the old slave can do about the wealthy families in Jiangnan! "

Wei Guozheng frowned.

These people in Jiangnan...

I really want to take a knife and chop them all!

Those people in Jiangnan only care about their own immediate interests and want to put everything into their own bowl.

They never care about the country!

Wei Guozheng gritted his teeth.

Zhu Youjian's brows relaxed.

He picked up the tea cup and blew on it a few times.

Tea leaves are floating in the tea.

Zhu Youjian drank the tea and put down the tea cup.

He chuckled:

"Jiangnan wealthy family..."

Zhu Youjian's eyes gradually became cold:

"Old Fang!

I am ready to give way to Henan! "

Get out of Henan?

Founder. Wei Guozheng was stunned.

The two looked at the emperor in surprise.

Zhu Youjian said coldly:

"Gao Jie is dead!

The road for Donglu to go south - was opened!

Both of you are from the inner court and are my absolute confidants.

Do I still need to explain the meaning of this clearly? "

Upon hearing the emperor's words, Fang Zhenghua clenched his fists, and Wei Guozhen's face was filled with murderous intent.

Why was Gao Jie killed?

——Because he is blocking the road!

As a general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was a member of the main battle faction who was highly regarded by Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue, and Shi Kefa... (Except Huang Degong, among the four towns in Jiangbei, Gao Jie was the one who insisted on the main battle the most.)

(Huang Degong in history was placed on the Yangtze River defense line. His main role was to monitor Zuo Liangyu.

In this time and space, because Zuo Liangyu was transferred away by Zhu Youjian, at the same time, Huang Degong went directly to Zhu Youjian's rule and went to Shandong.

Therefore, Gao Jie became the backbone of the main war faction! )

Gao Jie died not only because he blocked the road, but also because he was on the wrong team.

……

Fang Zhenghua squinted his eyes and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that you think the king will go ahead?"

"Correct!"

Zhu Youjian's face was filled with murderous intent:

"That group of people in Jiangnan, I don't need to repeat what they did.

They ignore the country and only care about themselves.

Since the founding of the country, it has repeatedly swallowed up national interests.

Taxes - they find ways to avoid them!

Corvée—their dodge of plunder!

Not to mention using treasure money to pay taxes to the country, all overseas trade was taken away by them! "

"I would rather not have this kind of Jiangnan!"

"Let go of Xuzhou!"

Zhu Youjian stood up and looked out the window at the dark night.

Zhu Youjian's heart gradually became cold:

"Aren't they colluding with the Tatars?

Wouldn't they rather kneel on the ground than ruin the country of China?

I fulfill their wish! "

“Get out of the way!

Let their beloved master go to Jiangnan!

I want to see what happens to these beasts! "

Zhu Youjian turned around and said to Fang Zhenghua:

"Lao Fang, you set off immediately and use all means...

Whether it's people or property...

Get all the books and treasures back to me! "

Fang Zhenghua stood up straight and bent over:

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan is the most wealthy country in the world.

The minister is short of manpower.

I request your Majesty to give me more troops. "

Zhu Youjian was right immediately:

"You can mobilize all the navy's ships. In addition, you can mobilize all the [-] new soldiers stationed in the three towns of Wuchang.

By the way, the war in Sichuan is currently focused on maintaining stability.

Call out Sichuan’s fleet and allocate them all to you! "

Zhu Youjian was really angry.

Although Gao Jie died, he didn't care.

At the critical moment, Gao Paopao drifts thousands of miles, and Zhu Youjian cares about what he does.

However, Gao Jie is Gao Jie, things are things!

The meaning behind Gao Jie's death is something Zhu Youjian cannot tolerate!

Since Jiang Nan dared to take this step, don't blame him for using all means!

"Let me grab it!"

Zhu Youjian pointed at Fang Zhenghua and Wei Guozheng:

"Both of you go, remember, if there is less of a wealthy gentry's warehouse, it will be a dereliction of duty on your part!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not let go of a single coin!"

Zhu Youjian said with a dark face:

"Whatever can be taken back, give it to me!"

I burned the food and cloth that couldn't be taken away!

Only by cutting off the roots of the gentry can the common people leave Jiangnan! "

……

Zhu Youjian was so angry that he directly used the house-changing tactic.

He stared at Fang Zhenghua:

"Old Fang, why is Shi Lang still alive?"

Fang Zheng smiled darkly:

"Your Majesty, he won't live long. As long as there is one stimulus, he will definitely die."

"Steady him!"

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes:

“Send a message to Zheng Zhilong, just talk about the matter in the south, I don’t want to delay it any longer.

Three months!

I only give him three months to capture Da Yuan Island for me! "

Zhu Youjian decided to use Donglu to solve the hidden danger of Jiangnan gentry.

What he wants to deal with is the powerful people in Jiangnan, not the country in Jiangnan.

Therefore, although they had made up their minds to let the Qing army go south, they were not allowed to poison the world!

Locating Donglu in Jiangnan is the final bottom line.

Zhu Youjian thought carefully for a while and said:

"Issue an urgent order:

Hao Yaoqi, He Fu, and Zhang Luojun were ordered to lead [-] troops and immediately go south to Hunan.

Tell them that the battlefield I have designated is in Jiangxi.

I won't give them a mission. I have only one request - not a single soldier of the Qing army is allowed to leave Jiangnan! "

Wei Guozheng hurriedly ran to deliver the order.

After Wei Guozheng left, Zhu Youjian asked Fang Zhenghua to sit down.

"Come with me."

In a room with only two people, Zhu Youjian lowered his voice:

"Over there in Jiangnan, you should be careful. Those talents who should be brought back should be brought back to me."

"Old slave, I'll take note of it." Fang Zhenghua agreed hastily.
