Chapter 441 Proposal rejected
And Gu Heng is currently a woman, and she was born in a brothel. Although she was named a princess by Emperor Chongzhen, she is not of royal blood after all. There must be many people who don't want Gu Heng to become emperor. People in the Ming royal family must want to put themselves in the situation.
Deadly!
There is also Jianlu, who has been greatly offended by him, and will definitely take revenge on him crazily.
You have too many enemies, and you are a target in the middle. How can you not die so miserably?
Gu Heng wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, but he didn’t want to die too miserably. Gu Heng was very afraid of pain!
So Gu Heng swallowed his saliva, looked at Hong Chengchou who was quietly waiting for his answer, and said: "Sir, I think we can support Zhu Yujian, the former king of the Tang Dynasty."
"I once got to know him. He was quite wise, loyal to the late emperor, and cared about the people."
"And I heard Zhilu say that he is currently being supported by Zheng Zhilong as a puppet emperor. If we go to him, he will be even more powerful than a tiger and he will be extremely grateful to us!"
"Princess, Zhilu and you have been stranded in Jiangyin City for many days, and there is no news. Naturally, we don't know the latest situation."
Hong Chengchou drank tea calmly and spoke slowly. He was not surprised at all by Gu Heng's idea, nor did he look at all flustered.
But Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something bad had happened!
"The Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu may be quite wise, but it is a pity that he was born at the wrong time. The Longwu court has been trapped on three sides. One is to control the Zheng family, the other is to defend against the army of King Lu, and the third is the Qing army led by Li Chengdong.
Festival is approaching."
"The Longwu court and King Lu cannot tolerate two tigers in one mountain, and they have not dealt with them, allowing the Jianlu army to make good use of them."
"When the two sides were at each other's throats and had no time to worry about themselves, Jianlu first asked Bolo and others to destroy King Lu's side, and then asked the surrendered Han general to lead an army to attack the Longwu court in Fujian."
"Emperor Longwu declared that he would personally carry out the Northern Expedition to reverse the decline. Zheng Zhilong, who was in charge of the army, just wanted to separate Fujian and have one side all to himself, but ignored him."
"But Huang Daozhou saw that the Zheng family was standing still and the army was timid and waiting. Huang Daozhou, who was already in his sixtieth year, told Emperor Longwu that he would go north to fight against the Qing Dynasty before the emperor did."
"Princess, guess what happened next?" After Hong Chengchou said this, he suddenly stopped talking. He just took a few more sips of tea and looked at Gu Heng meaningfully.
When Gu Heng heard this, her body trembled a little. She probably knew what happened next. After all, in history, Huang Daozhou and Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian ended up being killed by the Qing army.
It’s just that historically it was supposed to be next year before the Longwu court was destroyed, but now it’s been brought forward?
Gu Heng still said unwillingly: "Please tell me, sir, what happened next."
"Li Chengdong led his army to attack Fujian. Huang Daozhou, out of his loyalty, spent his own money, and with the help of friends, he only brought more than 10,000 taels of silver and generously set out with several disciples."
"The righteous people from all over Fujian also heard about it, and nearly ten thousand people joined his command. Emperor Longwu was very moved and saw him off with tears in his eyes."
"But, because people, money, and things are all under the control of the Zheng Zhilong family, Emperor Longwu, apart from giving this old loyal minister a hundred blank letters of appointment, could not even allocate him one or two military pay and one soldier.
.”
"Poor Zodiac Zhou could only organize a "carrying pole army" to fight against the Jianlu Army. This cobbled-together army had no combat experience."
"Seeing more and more defeats, Huang Daozhou urgently went to Emperor Shulongwu to ask for more troops and better pay. Zheng Zhilong and others were not moved at all. Emperor Longwu could only act in a hurry. He had no choice but to sit back and watch Huang Dao
I'm in trouble all around."
"Furthermore, Huang Daozhou was not afraid of risking his life to fight in the face of danger. The Zheng family still spread gossip in the court, saying that Huang Daozhou was communicating with foreign ministers and wanted to do evil."
"When Huang Daozhou was worried, he believed that the county magistrate who was in the county occupied by the Qing army could act as an internal agent, just because he wrote a secret letter to Huang Daozhou, who was Huang Daozhou's former student!"
"So there is no doubt that Huang Daozhou was ambushed and defeated by the Jianlu army who had set up an ambush on the way to seize the county seat. They were all wiped out in the first battle. Huang Daozhou was captured and taken to the jail of his former student in the county seat."
“After being imprisoned for many days, when the Jianlu Court escorted Huang Daozhou, who refused to surrender to the Jianlu, to Donghua Gate in Nanjing, Huang Daozhou sat up and said that the place was very close to Emperor Taizu’s mausoleum and that he could be killed here!
"
"When I turned back, I saw the Fujian house sign in the market place. Huang Daozhou strengthened his determination to be punished there, saying that this is Fujian, and the emperor is there, paying homage to the emperor before leaving, as a courtesy of a minister."
"After saying that, he bowed south again and died generously. He is quite a match for Shi Kefa of Yangzhou!"
Seeing that Hong Chengchou always spoke indifferently, Gu Heng couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you look down on them?"
"No, I don't look down on them. I admire them, but I don't agree with their actions because their actions can't really revitalize the Ming Dynasty."
"None of them have done what the princess said. They are down-to-earth and do practical things for the people of the world to revive the Ming Dynasty. No matter how small the thing is, as long as it benefits the people of the world, it is worth it."
Hearing this, Gu Heng couldn't help but ask Hong Chengchou: "Sir, if you are Huang Daozhou and are caught by Jianlu, what will you do?"
"If there is another Ming Lord worth following, I will try my best to protect myself, even if I pretend to surrender. I will secretly collect all kinds of information from Jianlu first, and then see if there is a chance to bring it to the Ming Lord!" Hong Chengchou said calmly.
