The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 658

After Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, he spoke.

"What kind of support do you need, money, food, supplies, official positions...just tell me!"

"The difficulty of mass production of vaccinia vaccine must be overcome as soon as possible."

"If the mass production of vaccinia can be realized, I will make a solemn promise here and confer the title!"

Zhu Hongyu tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and said a deafening sentence in a flat tone.

Knighted!

If someone asks if Zhu Hongyu is worth it?
Zhu Hongyu will tell him, it's worth it!
Using a title, not necessarily a hereditary title, in exchange for the vaccinia vaccine that can eradicate smallpox, no matter how you count it, Zhu Hongyu is not at a loss.

Zhu Hongyu has always been very generous in rewarding his subordinates.

When Huatai heard the words, he knelt down very excitedly and said.

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Tai Hospital will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

After all, Huatai resigned.

Just after Huatai resigned, Zhu Hongyu received a report from Jin Yiwei.

The Manchu Qing supported the imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty in the capital to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor!
And after the false emperor announced that Manqing was the suzerain, the Eight Banners' elite Manchurian cavalry began to leave the pass and retreat outside the pass!

And this Ming clan introduced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty claimed to be the third son of Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, namely Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding.

Abbreviated as the third prince Zhu!
Zhu Hongyu:? ? ?

Zhu Hongyu looked at this news with a face of bewilderment.

His first reaction was that something happened in Shandong!

But he reacted immediately!
This is impossible!

Daming himself hadn't figured out the situation in Shandong yet. How could the Manchus get people to the capital in advance?

Therefore, there is a high probability that the third prince Zhu introduced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a fake.

The reason why Man Qing did this was to push people out and to block Daming.

Other than that, Zhu Hongyu couldn't think of any other possibility.

The reason why the Manchus did not push a Chongzhen prince out was because it is well known that the Chongzhen prince was executed by the Manchus...

While feeling worried in his heart, Zhu Hongyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was worried that the third prince Zhu could threaten his throne. After all, in terms of clan etiquette, the third prince Zhu was indeed a direct descendant, but he was just a side branch.

But in this era, the influence of clan etiquette is not just talk!

After Hongguang's death, why did Yongli become the recognized orthodoxy in the world?
Apart from the quick death of several other Nanming emperors, the main reason was actually that Yongli was the main line of the Ming royal family.

Yongli belongs to the grandson of Emperor Wanli Shenzong!

In the system of the Ming clan, the status is really high!

And the others are all offshoots of the clan!

It can be seen how much influence clan etiquette has on this era!

It's all right now, Zhu Hongyu doesn't have to worry anymore.

Man Qing lit the firecracker for him that he didn't want to fire!
Put the "Third Prince Zhu" on the throne!

From now on, the third prince Zhu will no longer be able to pose a threat to him.

Because, no matter how great the etiquette of the clan is, it cannot be greater than the righteousness of the world!
If the Qing Dynasty did this, the legal system on the Third Prince Zhu would be completely abolished.

Even if the third prince Zhu established by the Manchu Dynasty is a fake, the legal system of the real third prince Zhu will also be abolished!

Man Qing's doing this can be regarded as getting rid of Zhu Hongyu's heart disease, which is not a serious problem in his confidant.

From now on, Zhu Hongyu no longer has to worry about the matter of the third prince Zhu.

Zhu Hongyu rubbed the center of his brows, and called Zhou Tianxu over.

"What's going on in the capital?"

Zhou Tianxu knelt in front of Zhu Hongyu and spoke.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Third Prince Zhu over there in the capital should be a fake!"

"If the third prince Zhu is really in the hands of the Man Qing, then when the Man Qing executed the prince of the first emperor Chongzhen, the third prince Zhu would not be able to escape the blow."

"But it is true that the Manchus withdrew from the customs!"

"According to the reports, the official road from inside the pass to outside the pass is almost full of countless carriages!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then continued to ask.

"What about the deployment of troops by the Qing court?"

"How did they mobilize their troops while they were withdrawing from the pass?"

"Eight Banners, Green Battalion, Mongolian cavalry, how many troops have accompanied them out of the pass, and how has the deployment of troops in various key places in the pass changed? Did the Manchus shrink their defenses again?"

Zhou Tianxu said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses brought out of the customs by the Manchu Qing this time, most of them are Eight Banners soldiers and Mongolian cavalry."

"As for the green battalion, the Manchu Qing only brought less than [-] elite soldiers from Shanxi, Xuanda and other places out of the customs."

"And the remaining green battalion soldiers and horses were mainly deployed in Shanxi and Beizhi provinces by the Manchu Qing."

"Jiangbei, Lianghuai, Shandong, Henan and other places were all left behind by the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhu Hongyu touched his chin thoughtfully when he heard this.

Judging from the current general situation, there is no doubt that the Manchu Qing has once again shrunk the line of defense.

However, it can be seen from the fact that the Manchus still left a certain amount of troops in Shanxi and Beizhi, and the Manchus were not willing to accept the fact that they were defeated and retreated from the pass.

Still preparing for entering the customs again at any time!

Zhu Hongyu put down the pen in his hand and asked.

"Since the main forces of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have withdrawn from the pass, why do they still have to stay in Shanxi and Beizhi?"

It is understandable for Zhu Hongyu that the Manchu Qing stayed in Beizhili with a certain amount of troops to control the puppet Ming court in the pass.

However, the Manchus divided their troops into Shanxi, and Zhu Hongyu felt a little confused about this operation of the Manchus.

No matter how easy to defend and difficult to attack in Shanxi's terrain, no matter how high in the sky, there is no need for the Manchu Qing to divide their forces in Shanxi.

In Zhu Hongyu's opinion, if he was a high-ranking man in the Qing Dynasty, then he would order the army to retreat to Shanhaiguan, defend the Liaoxi Corridor, and rebuild the Guanningjin defense line of the Ming Dynasty...

This is the best choice!

Hearing this, Zhou Tianxu cupped his fists and said.

"According to the information sent back by Tiqi, the reason why the Manchus retained a certain amount of troops in Shanxi was because the Shanxi merchant groups in Shanxi took the initiative to stand up and wanted to bear the military expenses needed for the Manchus to garrison troops in Shanxi."

"And assure the Manchus that they can continue to provide tax revenue stably!"

After Zhu Hongyu heard the words, he couldn't hold back anymore.

The expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the subway old man looking at his mobile phone.

"Hehe, I can't tell, these Shanxi businessmen are so loyal to Man Qing!"

Zhu Hongyu was really tired of the Eight Shanxi Merchants, and he hated them even more than he hated the Kong family.

Although the Kong family knelt down and became traitors to the Manchus, at least that happened after the Manchus entered the customs.

The Confucian family has been used to kneeling in all dynasties. How normal is it to surrender to the Manchus?
However, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants belonged to the Manchus and had not yet entered the customs, they had already hooked up with the Manchus and sold out Daming completely.

They are the ones who betray the country and seek glory!
