Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

At this point in the Southern Expedition, Fengyang, the place where the old Zhu family made its fortune and where the Ming Dynasty clan gathered the most, had already fallen into the hands of the Black Flag Qing Dynasty.

There were quite a lot of Ming Dynasty clans stranded in the area. They all knew that the Qing Emperor was Zhu Youjian and didn't panic at all. They even sent people directly to the capital to ask when the Qing Dynasty would give them hard-core crops.

It's best to make up for what Ming owed but didn't pay to them before.

For these lower-level clan members in Lao Zhu's family, it was impossible for Zhu Youjian to drive them into the sea.

Those princes and princes were driven out because they had money and capital. As long as they followed the policy after going to sea, we, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, would support them.

It would be a crime to forcefully drive out these middle- and lower-class clans who were already not doing well.

If you don't rush, and then give some help, a considerable number of clans will climb along the pole. Those upper-level clans of the Ming Dynasty will naturally not put their minds outside when they see the opening, and they will definitely squeeze back to eat the hard-core crops of the new dynasty.

Zhu Youjian may not allow them to take advantage of too many loopholes, but it's hard to say who the next emperor will be.

"Ignoring Xiaoling, I heard that Zhu Yihai, King of Lu in the Ming Dynasty, was the only prince in the Ming Dynasty who stayed in Nanjing. I have told him that if he surrenders after Nanjing is recaptured, he will be given the title of Niulu."

Niulu is the title of an army and a title. Another title is baron.

Not included in the clan titles.

This is also Zhu Youjian's attitude towards these Ming princes who insist on staying.

The old Zhu family clan under the Qing Dynasty does not have the so-called lineage of King Lu.

Of course, if these people really want to achieve any great achievements, that's another story.

"By the way, be careful over there in Fengyang, don't really starve to death."

Regarding Zhu Youjian's ruthless behavior, Fengyang, as the place where the old Zhu family thrived, the local clan did not just wait and see, they sent blood letters written by some of them to the capital, and spontaneously held sacrifices to their ancestors. It can be said that there are quite a lot of people who complained and gathered to kneel and go on a hunger strike.

Zhu Youjian consciously delayed for a while, and he would be much more comfortable when those princes went to the sea.

As he spoke, he patted his forehead again, and a good idea suddenly came to him, and he hurriedly called someone over: "In this way, I will send someone to write some sentences. The content is that I will throw away the old clan after establishing the new dynasty. The purpose is to incite the Ming Dynasty. Personally accompanied the Longwu court of the Ming Dynasty to the south."

Try to be as serious as possible, to be more bitter and resentful, and to portray the Qing Emperor as more vicious.

It's one thing to drive someone away ruthlessly, but it's another thing to leave yourself.

Zhu Youjian turned around and contacted Emperor Longwu to try to use more talents from the clan.

It would be nice to drive away a group of people, encourage a group of people to leave, and not kill the rest, but let them worship their ancestors with the old Zhu family of the Qing Dynasty.

Here Zhu Youjian gave the order and sent the telegram.

The Ming Zongren Ling Zhu Yihai, who was still waiting for the Qing army to enter the city in Nanjing Zongren Mansion, and had made full preparations for this, received the news that the Qing Dynasty wanted to surrender him but was only willing to give him a baron title.

On the spot, Zhu Yihai was so angry that he couldn't stand still. He slumped on the ground and cursed loudly in the Zongren Mansion. The curses spread through several courtyards and could still be heard.

Also scolding Zhu Youjian was Zheng Zhilong.

The local emperor of Fuzhou still had a different surname.

He was not at all panicked before and after the battle began.

I am a king with a different surname from the Ming Dynasty, and I am also the largest maritime shareholder and partner of the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company. I have no conflicts with the Qing Dynasty, and even have some contacts. I just want to sit in the luxurious mansion in Anhai Town and watch the storm.The Qing emperor in the north became Zhu Youjian?

That's even better.

We are veterans of the Chongzhen Dynasty. We made great contributions during the Chongzhen period and defeated the Dutch Red-haired Barbarians for the then Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was in emergency in Nanjing. Zheng Zhilong symbolically mobilized his troops to go to Nanjing to serve the king. Then he turned to contact the Qing envoys and discussed with his men when the best time to surrender to the Qing Dynasty was.

Then, Emperor Longwu abandoned Nanjing and moved to Hangzhou under the escort of the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company.

At that time, according to the information sent back by Zheng Zhilong's official party's fleet, there was also the Black Flag Navy Fleet that was not able to change to the three-chen flag with a red background and a dragon on a red background, and was still showing off with a black flag, who also participated in the escort.

At the same time, the various Ming troops who were originally going to Nanjing Qinwang changed their locations.

If you look to the north, it is indeed a formation blocking the Qing army from going south.

But when Zheng Zhilong looked at Fuzhou, his base, it looked like he was surrounded.

Even the sea was surrounded.

After the Nanyang Company's fleet sent Emperor Longwu to Hangzhou, it turned south to Fuzhou and stationed in northern Taiwan. At this time, the waters of Guangzhou had long been dominated by the Nanyang Company, and a large number of armed merchant ships came and gathered in southern Taiwan.

And among the ships operating around Taiwan waters, there are also ships with Black Flag Navy.

What does it mean?
"It's too late to mobilize the land and sea forces to fight at this time. Then we will just wait for the Haitu Division to operate. However, will General Success really sit back and watch his father's inheritance be divided up by the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"

Zhu Linyuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, went to Luzon and stayed for a few months, then turned around and came back. When he landed, he stopped in Hangzhou to wait for his father to arrive. The timing was perfect.

Father and son met again. Emperor Longwu, who left Nanjing, did not feel defeated as an emperor after losing the capital. Instead, he felt refreshed. Hearing his son's words, he immediately waved his hand and said: "You haven't met Chenggong often before, and you didn't meet him when you went to Luzon." The meeting made me deeply regretful, and you should interact with him more from now on."

Zhu Linyuan said with a smile: "The general was performing his duties as governor at that time, leading his troops to fight against the rebels of Maguindanao and Butuan Raja. There were also Visayans who had fornicated with the Dutch and were pirates at sea. Although I have never seen them. General, but he saw the head of one of the sultans, and his son’s head hanging above the gate of Manila.”

"After all, small countries do not understand the power of God, and they respect the Nanyang Company more than they respect me, the Ming Dynasty. If it is time to rush to Luzon, how can there be a little king Sultan?"

As he spoke, Emperor Longwu sighed.

All in all, it's complicated.

Then he quickly changed his mind and thought of something better before the negative emotions came into his mind: "Now that we are talking about Luzon, I haven't read the classics you brought back yet. Can you read them carefully?"

Although he has not given up completely, since there is a high possibility that he will be driven to Luzon, someone who is absolutely trustworthy by Emperor Longwu must go over to investigate the local situation and have a deeper understanding of the south of Luzon and the further south. actual situation on the mainland.

The only biological son is definitely the safest.

The map expanded with a bang.

There was no map of East Asia in the northern hemisphere, so Emperor Longwu pointed at the large land above, while Zhu Linyuan gave him his general understanding of the local area in a timely manner.

The first thing that was pointed out was naturally the last bottom line and sustenance of Emperor Longwu, the vast and easily accessible southern continent of Australia.

"According to the report, the captain of the advance fleet has built a small castle here, and is asking the emperor to give it a name. There are natives in the area who call themselves Muli people. They once caught giant rabbits and traded them with members of my advance fleet. This giant rabbit is very big. Odd, its skin is among the leather goods my son brought back, father, would you like to see it?"
