Shang Yi's judgment was not wrong. The two courts of Yongli and Shaowu were both scattered, and the ministers were all talking big and verbally speaking, and when they did practical things, they would be useless. Although the Shaowu court was
Want to send troops to rescue Shang Kexi, but the military power is Zheng Chenggong, and Jin Shenghuan still has more than 10,000 people. Zheng Chenggong refused to send troops alive, and Zhu Yuyou couldn't do anything about him. Just the few people in Jin Shenghuan's hands are not enough
Shang Yi was blocking his teeth.
The Yongli court has some soldiers, but the famous discussion is that He Tengjiao is in charge of military power, and the generals below are standing on the hills and sending a lot of people to fight or not. Whether they are going to send troops depends on whether they are in good mood today. Unfortunately, I heard that
He was fighting against the merchant army and immediately became depressed. He Tengjiao could not mobilize his subordinates at all.
To be honest, He Tengjiao was also afraid that the merchant army would take action, so he wrote a memorial to the Yongli court, suggesting that the court might as well sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, so that Monk Shang Yi would be happy to fight both sides and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
As a result, Shang Kexi discovered that those who believed in the past and made a promise to him were unreliable. In the end, he was still a fool. If he had known this, he would not have been able to do so.
Why did you come here if you come out?
Shang Kexi certainly knew that fighting with the merchant army would only result in both losses. He would definitely not be able to fight, and he would probably not be able to defend himself. Now Daqing is the only way to escape.
At this moment, the eldest son Shang Zhixin came up with an idea to Shang Kexi, why not negotiate with Shang Yi? Let’s not talk about whether the talk will be successful or not. At least you can give it a try. If Gao really can’t get through the negotiation, he will run away again.
Not too late.
It was indeed a word that woke up the dreamer. In fact, Shang Kexi was also the one in the authorities. She still stood in the corner of the Qing court and thought, without any realization, she only thought that Shang Yi was his biggest enemy, and that the Qing court was also the one from the Qing court.
The secret order was so I just wanted to fight, but I didn’t expect that I was from the Southern Ming Dynasty now, so of course I could still talk about it. I had no grudges with Shang Yi, so why did I have to listen to the Qing court? See what Shang Yi has
Conditions, if he wants Zhu Yihai, then give him Zhu Yihai, it is not a treasure. Without Zhu Yihai, he can save some food, or pay him more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, as long as he is willing to sit down and talk.
Just do it.
After understanding this, Shang Kexi's brain immediately started to move. He immediately thought that although the merchant army entered Guangdong, it had been staying in the border area, and had not gone deeper, nor had it launched an attack on itself. It seemed that
The Merchant Army seemed to have the intention of peace talks, so peace talks were not impossible. So Shang Kexi immediately ordered people to rush to the Merchant Army's camp and expressed his intention to peace talks.
In fact, Shang Yi didn't want to destroy Shang Kexi at all. He just wanted to scare him and let him stay in Guangzhou in the future and stop making trouble. After all, Shang Kexi is a member of the Yong'an court now, and he really destroyed Shang Kexi.
The two courts of Yongli and Shaowu were not very good at thinking, and they might really join forces to deal with him. And after destroying Shang Kexi, what should Zhu Yihai do? He really brought him back to Nanjing for offering.
Is it?
After thinking about it, Shang Yi still felt that waiting for immortal Shang Kexi was better than destroying him. Therefore, although the troops entered Guangdong, they did not attack Shang Kexi. In fact, they were just giving Shang Kexi a hint, even if Shang Kexi was not sent.
For people to make peace, Shang Yi also wants to use the intelligence network in Guangzhou to convey this information to Shang Kexi. Finally, Shang Kexi is still smart and sent someone to make peace. This is exactly what Shang Yi hopes for.
In fact, Shang Yi's conditions are not harsh, so Shang Kexi doesn't need to pay any tribute. Zhu Yihai and others don't want any of them, so Shang Kexi was relieved. It turned out that Shang Yi was a very easy-to-talk person. Only such a request is really too It's simple, why do I always want to get along with him? The Qing court really killed people.
A few days later, Shang Kexi released Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhu Dadian, Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin and others from the prison, and repeatedly apologized to them. At the same time, he issued an edict in the name of Zhu Yihai, which also informed the entire south, Yong'an court and There are no evil people. Although Shang Kexi was a Qing army in the past, he had already gone to Qing and returned to Ming, and had turned into evil and returned to the right, so there was no need to mention the past. The detention of Zhang Huangyan and others was purely a misunderstanding and internal conflicts, Shang Kexi They have been released and apologized, and at the same time they have been exempted from Shang Kexi's title of Grand Tutor, but they still retained the title of King Yongning. They also thanked Shang Yi for sending troops to regulate the conflicts within the Yong'an court. But now they have resolved it. Therefore, Shang Yi was asked to return to his post. In the end, the Yong'an court also expressed its recognition of Shang Yi's title of King Jingbei.
Shang Yi also said that the conflict between the Yong'an court had been resolved and he would withdraw his troops immediately, but he again proposed to ask Zhu Yihai to go to Nanjing to succeed the throne. The Yong'an court's reply was to go to Nanjing to succeed the throne, which was of great importance and could not be made easy. Therefore, As an envoy, Zhang Huangyan and Shang Zhiyan were sent to Nanjing to discuss matters with Shang Yi, and then make a decision.
Of course, Zhang Huangyan and others were not satisfied with this result. What they hoped was that Shang Yi would lead the army into Guangzhou, destroy Shang Kexi, and take Zhu Yihai to Nanjing. But the decision now lies in Shang Yi's hands, he would not No one can do it if he is willing to do it. And no matter what, it is indeed thanks to Shang Yi's troops to send troops when he was able to get out of prison this time. With this lesson, Shang Kexi will be more honest.
As for the Yong'an court's decision to send Zhang Huangyan and Shang Zhiyan to Nanjing for an interview with Shang Yi, Zhang Huangyan also felt that there was still a chance. When he arrived in Nanjing, he could persuade Shang Yi in person, so he did not object.
In fact, Shang Yi had no intention of taking the emperor to Nanjing at all. The official was what he needed. Shang Yi's real purpose was to invite a four-party meeting and negotiate to formulate a convention order to deal with the various courts in the south. Not only did it have a certain binding force on the three Southern Ming dynasties, but it also had a treaty basis for sending troops to attack the other side, and it was not a crime below.
Now that the Yong'an court has finally settled it, Shang Yi sent documents to Shaowu and Yongli, the two courts, again, and still asked them to go to Nanjing to succeed. If the emperor cannot go, he can send ministers to Nanjing as envoys. Go to discuss the anti-Qing Dynasty and related affairs between the southern courts.
The head of the Shaowu court, Su Guansheng, finally agreed with Zheng Chenggong's insistence. After all, it would be enough to usurp the emperor in his own hands. It would be okay to send a few ministers there. It would be nice to sit down and talk together. .Now the three Southern Ming courts are united together, and everyone regards themselves as orthodox. This is also a fact. There should be a statement when dealing with each other's relationship. So the chief minister Su Guansheng also decided to send two civil and military officials to Nanjing, and the civil officials were Gu Yuan Jing, and the general is Zheng Chenggong's uncle Zheng Hongkui.
However, in the Yongli court, there were more bo demolitions. In fact, among the three Southern Ming courts, the Yongli court was the strongest, Shaowu and Yong'an had only one province, and the Yongli court occupied the entire Guangxi territory. Most of Guizhou and part of Yunnan are the territory of the two imperial courts of Shaowu and Yong'an. The troops also include Ma Jinzhong, Wang Jincai, Hao Yongzhong, Cao Zhijian, Jiao Lian, Liu Chengyin, Cao Zhijian, Huang Chaoxuan, Dianying Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing and others. The remaining troops, at most, as many as ten thousand, as few as thousands, and in total, not less than 100,000. However, the commander He Tengjiao drove the people incompetent and could not command these arrogant soldiers and generals.
The situation where the Yongli court's military generals were exclusively entrusted, party struggles also had a considerable driving effect. Among the three dynasties of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Yongli court's party struggles were the most fierce. At the beginning, there were Chu and Wu parties. Chu party was the cabinet grandson Qu Shizuo The main members of the members are Yuan Pengnian, the left censor of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Xiangke, the official department’s minister, Ding Shikui, the engineering department’s left-handed chief Jinbao, and the household department’s right-handed chief méng, and the official department’s right-handed chief méng, known as the "Five Tigers" He Tengjiao was also used as foreign aid, while the Wu Party was appointed as the cabinet minister Zhu Tianlin, Wu Zhenyu, Duke of the Ministry of Personnel, Chen Bangfu, and Ma Jixiang, the chief minister of the Ministry of Li. Zhang Xiaoqi, Li Yongji, Wang Huacheng, Wan Ao, Lei Defu, and Cheng Yuan et al.
At the beginning, He Tengjiao, the foreign aid of the Chu party, controlled heavy troops, so the Chu party was in great momentum. However, He Tengjiao was defeated by the Qing army first and then by the merchant army. His power plummeted and could not control his subordinates, so he was defeated by the Wu party. There was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the generals under He Tengjiao were pulled back, gradually regaining the situation, but it also encouraged Qiu Ba's arrogance.
Some of them are fighting for power, while others are really trying to do something for the overall situation, but because they are in the situation, they are inevitably involved in political struggles, so the relationship is complicated and complicated. But you fight for both sides. I took it and fought very hard. Shang Yi's official documents have also become a focus of the struggle between the two sides.
Because the Chu Party belongs to the ruling party, of course it is unwilling to take the emperor out, while the Wu Party is an opposition party. I support it in the matters that the enemy opposes, so I strongly agree. Of course, some people think that the emperor is the one who is out of public interest. Sending to Nanjing is conducive to the great cause of resistance. But no matter what, both sides are facing tit.
However, with Yong'an and Shaowu's two imperial courts sent officials to Nanjing, the Wu Party also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the Chu Party's foreign aid He Tengjiao was not strong, and his momentum also declined a lot. He gradually could not resist the Wu Party's attack Fortunately, officials can be sent to discuss first, so Qu Shixi also decided to send two officials to Nanjing to see what they could discuss.
In order to compete for these two places, the two sides had a lot of struggle. In the end, the Chu Party and the Wu Party each occupied one. The Chu Party sent Ding Shikui, the director of the official department, and the Wu Party was Wu Zhenyu, the shìlang of the Ministry of Personnel.
After so many repeated dramas, all the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty finally gathered in Nanjing and, under the leadership of Shang Yi, recruited the Nanjing Four-Party Conference. At this time, it was the 9th year of Shunzhi (1647). Yue, the situation in Ryukyu that Shang Yi had been waiting for finally undergoes tremendous changes.
