Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Interests dictate
Once in Jiujiang, Anqing can be threatened.

Anqing Mansion is actually the barrier to the west of Nanjing.

And why is Anqing known as "the throat of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles"?After all, there are Taiping Mansion and Chizhou Mansion between Anqing and Nanjing.

The Yangtze River passes through Anqing City, and the two sides are mountainous areas, which are rugged and rough, making it difficult to march and fight. It is small and narrow like a human throat.

From Anqing to Nanjing, the cities along the way are either Jiangbei or Jiangnan, which can be described as a smooth road.

In this case, Anqing must not make any mistakes.

"It's a pity that although Nanjing has no worries about taxation and income from all directions, it must guard the Jianghuai in the north and Anqing in the west."

"If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it, that's all."

Nanjing was beaten, and Zuo Liangyu's chicken was also very effective, and he immediately approved the chief soldier and general he asked to play.

As for King Yu's title promotion, it was done hastily.

However, as long as Zhu Yixi is affordable, he is not allowed to vent when he suffers a loss?
Looking at the yellow silk in his hand, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Everyone can only flatter him when he looks like he's a good boy even after getting a cheap price.

"It is a blessing for the world that Your Highness is now promoted to King Yu."

Zhao Shu was deeply involved in all the decision-making, and he didn't understand that this His Highness didn't care about the so-called prince.

Others think that the king of Hanyang is a king, and he does not hesitate to send troops to Jiujiang. It is a battle of spirits and a fair fight.

In fact, the main purpose of launching this war was to penetrate the commercial route and beat the imperial court.

The most obvious result is that He Tengjiao, governor of Huguang, huddled up in Jiujiang to work, which can be described as a laugh.

To tease the tiger's beard, the Nanjing court is obviously not qualified.

"Lucky in the world!"

Zhu Yixi said with emotion: "Since then, a certain one has come out of the lineage of the Qin clan and has become a clan of his own."

In the more than 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no case of such a down-and-out clan re-establishing a feudal clan.

But in this chaotic world, it seems normal. Zuo Liangyu and others are all enfeoffed as Marquis. Since his family has made great achievements, it is very appropriate to be named Prince.

For the ancients, the meaning is profound, no less than separation.

At the end of the emotion, Zhu Yixi didn't notice any excitement, and said softly:
"However, I heard that You Shiwei, in front of He Tengjiao, directly destroyed Jiujiang City, turning his face blue."

"Although it's a bit reckless, it's not bad!"

"Over there in Jiujiang, the tax card needs to be reset, and you can get a lot of money!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Yan Chongxin said excitedly, "With the acquisition of Jiujiang, merchant ships don't need to be exploited by Zuozhen, and they are willing to pay taxes."

"Moreover, as the gateway to Jiangxi, it is extremely convenient to buy grain or import Sichuan salt through Jiujiang."

"Business tax, there are still some increases."

Hearing this, Zhu Yixi was much happier, who would dislike too much money?
Moreover, breaking through the Jiangxi market is even more significant.

The Shaanxi merchants who have come here for refuge will surely not let go of this opportunity to expand their strength.

Then again, isn't the expansion of Shaanxi merchant's strength equivalent to the expansion of his vision?

Strategically, Jiangxi's grain door is open, which is a great supplement to Huguang.

Zhu Yixi thought about the benefits involved, and sighed, war is really a business of interests.

"Since Governor He wants to stay in Jiujiang, I can't ask for it."

His Royal Highness Prince Yu suddenly said seriously: "The news from Nanjing shows that Jiannu's ambitions are clearly revealed after he moved his capital to Beijing."

"Although they entered the customs under the banner of avenging the late emperor, they even dispatched troops last month to attack the intruders directly."

"Now, we can no longer sit idly by."

"You mean to help the burglar?"

Zhao Shu frowned, very surprised.

"Indirect help!"

Zhu Yixi shook his head slightly and said, "After all, I'm a traitor, so I have to worry about some public opinion."

"Stationing troops in Henan forced the Manchus to dare not use their full strength. If the intruders were really defeated, they should face Jiannu directly and take the initiative to attack, so as to give Li Zicheng a sigh of relief."

"Your Highness, that's Jian Nu!"

Yan Chongxin was quite afraid and said: "Although we are strong and strong, we are afraid of field battles, so we are not opponents!"

"The people of the country are as fearful of thieves as tigers, and they are eager to fight without fighting, so they have fought and lost repeatedly."

Zhu Yixi said calmly: "If you don't fight, how will you know the reality?"

Theoretically speaking, autumn and winter are the home games of the Manchus in the Northeast, while the south is humid and hot, and the home games are in summer.

But this battle had to be fought.

First of all, we must not sit back and watch Li Zicheng's defeat. As long as he is carrying it in front, the Manchu Qing will not go south unscrupulously.

Li Zicheng and the Nanjing court were the ones who fought against thunder in the front row, and he developed silently behind.

The more time passed, the better for him.

Secondly, it is also to prevent the Manchus from raking grass and hitting rabbits.

In history, Duo Duo had just destroyed Li Zicheng, which was too easy, which made Duo Ergun think about it and wanted him to test Nanjing.

As a result, he was devastated and accidentally captured the Hongguang court.

How do you know that Man Qing is too smooth, will he attack him?

After all, he is also the king of Yu. In a sense, the king is against the king, which attracts hatred.

Of course, it would be really interesting to kill the false king.

"Food, stock up in Nanyang."

Zhu Yixi ordered: "In addition, Hanzhong, Xianrenguan, and Wuguan should also be reminded to prevent Li Zicheng from jumping over the wall in a hurry."

After giving the order, Zhu Yixi simply returned to Hanyang Palace.

Xiangyang Mansion is still undergoing major repairs, and the occupancy will be next year.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw the brand-new "Yuwangfu", which was particularly conspicuous.

"Congratulations, Your Highness—"

Under the leadership of Sun Xueniang, a group of Yingying and Yanyan saluted delicately, and Zhu Yixi instantly felt that this battle was really not in vain.

After being welcomed into the lobby, Zhu Yixi said calmly, "Although you are called a prince, the system in the mansion should remain the same as before."

"Yes!"

The girls nodded.

After talking to Sun Xueniang for a few more words, Zhu Yixi stopped and went directly to Miaoxian's place with beautiful eyes full of affection.

Fairy Miaoguan is really good, not only knows Taoism, but also is quite proficient in Buddhism.

"Your Majesty, my girl invites you to come over!"

At this time, the Zhang sisters came to invite them suddenly.

Zhu Yixi happened to have dinner and became more energetic, knowing that he must have other things to do.

The concubine made the rules herself, and she was not allowed to invite the king again, which would be detrimental to King Yu's health.

Therefore, this trip will definitely not be a matter of bed.

Sure enough, the Zhang sisters said a few words, which showed that their father, Zhang Qi, wanted to see him.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Yixi was surprised, but still complied.

Soon, Zhang Qi saw His Royal Highness Prince Yu, even if he was the father-in-law, he had to salute.

However, Zhu Yixi still stopped her when her daughter was there.

"The father-in-law is here, but what's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the pig iron guild has not been established recently, and there are huge loopholes. There are even many people who secretly smuggle pig iron to intruders for huge profits!"

Zhang Qi's words can be described as earth-shattering.
