The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 829
Wu Xiang has already made up his mind, and the next step is to take the lead in creating an atmosphere in which Nanwang Wuwu wants to make a big tomorrow.

It was the survivors of the Ming Dynasty who begged the King of the South to take control of the Central Plains. In the end, the King of the South had no choice but to take over the mess of the Ming Dynasty and became the emperor in order to relieve the people's poverty.

The story is very shameless, but there are several emperors in history who did not spare no effort to whitewash themselves. Even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty boasted that "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" can be seen.

There is no need to doubt Wu Xiang's ability. When he returned to the cruise ship, he was immediately surrounded by a group of nobles. Liang Tingdong and Zhang Fengyi couldn't squeeze in if they wanted to ask about the situation.

Gao Zhimou, the minister of the military department of the Ming Dynasty, has long been in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. He has expressed his position many times at the "God of War" civil and military gatherings.

He was still prepared for danger in times of peace, and bought a property in Hainan Island early on. Now his old father, Gao Di, who has retired and returned to his hometown, has spent his life in the Gao family's seaside courtyard in Yazhou. Most of the Gao family's children and clan members are engaged in business and politics in "Nanming". .

Although Gao Zhimou was a high-ranking third-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, he understood that all of this was obtained by following Huang Sheng's mixed military exploits. He stood firm and clearly supported Nan Wang to take over Daming and proclaim himself emperor.

In the past few years, scholars in Nanzhili have gone to "Nanming" to seek jobs. Many of them have embarked on official careers. Literati organizations such as Fushe and Yingshe have faded out of sight, and the influence of the Donglin Party has also lost its foundation.

This is not surprising. The main reason for the association of literati is that they are too idle. There are too many scholars and too few who can get official positions. Everyone gathers together to complain and vent their dissatisfaction, and discuss how to make their own voices to the court. Over time, a group is formed. .

When the scholars are very busy, they are all studying in the new school to take the "Nanming" civil service examination, and when a large number of scholars have obtained real official positions, the disintegration of the association will not be far away.

Zhou Yanru is a native of Yixing in Southern Zhili, and one of the true leaders of the Donglin Party. He has changed his course and joined Huang Sheng.

In history, Zhou Yanru, Liang Tingdong, and Zhang Fengyi, the three Daming Pavilion elders and bachelors, passed away in Chongzhen 17 years ago. Now they are all alive and cheering for the enthronement of the Southern King, and their appeal is extraordinary.

The survivors of the Ming Dynasty on the cruise ship quickly reached a consensus that no matter how difficult it was, they would ask the King of Nan to take over Daming and become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. For this feat of benefiting the country and the people, we loyal ministers who pleaded for the country and the people would not hesitate to kneel and die in the King of Nan before.

This is not surprising, most of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to ask for leave to attend the wedding were those with vested interests in cooperation with "Nanming", such as Huang Daozhou, Ni Yuanlu, etc. Qingliu disdain and flatter Nanwang.

Wu Xiang pulled down his old face and pierced the window paper, knowing that although the company closed down and changed the boss, it would not have much impact on him, and even the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty decided to change their families.

At this time, Huangjiawan Island was bustling like never before. It was stranded in Tianjinwei, Denglai, and even the civil and military personnel of the Ming Dynasty who came from Jinan, Linqing and other prefectures came here to wait for the King of Nan. Li, Huguang.

They all have a common purpose - to persuade, they all want to become ministers of the dragon, Zhang Zhiji is also in the crowd, he has not been far from the prince, and Cao Huachun, Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen, Shi Bangzhao, etc. are accompanying the prince all the time .

The most active persuasion elements are a group of villains headed by Wang Pu, Bai Guangen, and Tang Tong. They simply went into battle with no shame, and fought with Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen and other upright ministers many times.

This is often the case. The change of dynasty is almost always a villain's success, and most of the moral gentlemen are loyal to the country.

The leader Cheng Dashi knew that he was the first to jump out to support the Southern King to take down Daming, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty who supported the Southern King's ascension to the throne and proclaim the emperor were all fools, so they could only use them.

Cheng Dashi specially asked Zhang Zhiji for an interview, and proposed the grand plan of "Nanming" to annex Daming and establish a new Ming Empire.

He told Zhang Zhiji bluntly that he has now contacted hundreds of "Nan Ming" and Ming civil and military personnel, and everyone has unanimously expressed their support for Nan Wang as the new emperor of the Ming Empire.

Zhang Zhiji and Cheng Dashi are old acquaintances, not only did they work together in Liaodong, they also have some personal relationships.

The matter has come to this point, even if Zhang Zhiji disagrees, so what to do, Nanwang has become the favored son of heaven, and he, Zhang Zhiji, is the uncle of the current dynasty. Why does he not support his brother-in-law's ascension to the throne?

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had already gone west, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong was not only lacking in strength, but also relied on the blessing of "Nanming" to gain a foothold. As a loyal minister to protect the crown prince's ascension, Zhang Zhiji thought it would be difficult for him to ascend to the blue sky.

There is no possibility of the crown prince succeeding to the throne, but it is very possible that his life will be lost in vain. Zhang Zhiji thought that as long as his brother-in-law treated the crown prince and Zhu Ming's clan well, he would be worthy of Chongzhen's trust.

Among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Tianjin Wei, only Zhang Zhiji has some strength. He still has less than 3000 armed forces in his hand, and he can spend tens of thousands of yuan in silver coins to recruit troops and buy horses for equipment.

This is not surprising. The British government participated in the investment of "China Development" very early. They are still powerful in Daming these years, and they have never left the family business. Naturally, they have made huge profits.

Zhang Zhiji trusted his brother-in-law's ability to make money so much that he used all his family's property to invest in the "Nanming" listed company. Therefore, Zhang Zhiji was definitely a rich man. Tianjin Wei had a "Huaxia Big Bank" branch. One hundred thousand fast silver coins can be done as long as you make an appointment in advance.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiji belongs to the existence of a powerful man with money and guns, and the leading effect he played in persuading him with a three-inch tongue should not be underestimated.

After Cheng Dashi convinced Zhang Zhiji, he went to a showdown with Cao Huachun, hoping that he would also support Nanwang as emperor.

Cao Huachun is not stupid, even the British Duke who has money, food and soldiers expressed his support for King Nan's ascension to the throne, does he have the capital to disagree?

Zhang Zhiji and Zhang Zhiji came to him for a face-to-face interview because he took a fancy to his status as the eunuch of Bingbi, the chief ceremonial supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, and that he was the most powerful courtier around the late emperor.

Cao Huachun thought about it, he and Nan Wang's concubine He Xiang were still cousins, and he had often spoken well to the late emperor in front of the late Emperor these years, "Nanming" didn't seem to have its own group of eunuchs, and most of the eunuchs on duty were from Daming.

In the future, to serve Nan Wang, who will become the new emperor, the position of Supervisor of Ceremonies should not be lost!Cao Huachun pretended to cry for a long while, and half pushed and half made an alliance with Cheng Dashi.

Next, the three of them began to lobby all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty who had escaped and had not expressed their positions. With the attitudes of the British official Zhang Zhiji and the eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of ceremonies, the persuasive power was immediate, and more people expressed their opinions and joined the ranks of persuading ministers.
