"He should have died in Dianjing, like a man, and now he has been captured in Chengdu, causing the situation to be very bad, and he will be redeemed if he dies!"

"I have told that idiot that you are the king of a devastated country, regardless of life or death, but you look like this when you are in danger!"

In the head of state, Li Mingxun roared constantly, and the corridor was quiet. People opened a crack in the door and looked at each other and did not dare to appear. They knew very well that the idiot Li Mingxun mentioned was no one else, but his brother-in-law, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Anti-Qing and Imperial Front. It was precisely because of this that no one dared to persuade or stop him. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

A creaking sound came. Lin Cheng was wearing a regular dress and arrived at the office in a wheelchair. Seeing Li Mingxun who had lost his composure, he turned around and shouted at the door: "Get out, don't watch my jokes, get out!"

There was a storm in the corridor, and then it became quiet. Lin Cheng leaned against the mess all over the ground and scolded: "Look at what you look like now. Is this the demeanor of a head of state supposed to have? It's like a shrew in the city!"

It’s no wonder Lin Cheng is like this. He has been with Li Mingxun for many years and has never seen him lose his composure. Li Mingxun, who has always collapsed in front of him and remained calm, turned out to be like this today.

"What is this?" Li Mingxun saw Lin Cheng handing over a book, and took it casually, but when he saw that it was written by Zhu Youlang.

Lin Cheng: "The only thing that Emperor Ming entrusted when he was captured."

Li Mingxun looked closely and found that the booklet was a catalog of complex names, which was compiled by Zhu Youlang over the years. If it were normal, Li Mingxun would still praise him, but at this moment, Li Mingxun could only give the four-character and sour Confucian evaluation.

Lin Cheng had no choice but to hold it back again. Although he could not accept Li Mingxun's loss of composure, he could express his understanding. When the news of the major change in Yunnan and Beijing came, Li Mingxun was setting up defense matters in Fujian. The reason was very simple. The African colonial company found traces of the joint fleet on the east coast of Africa.

According to Li Mingxun's plan, the Southeast War Zone will receive greater support so that it can block the strongest attack of the Qing Dynasty in spring and summer. In fact, the Southeast War Zone can be said to have done it. Although from the map, only Wenzhou is left in Zhejiang, the prefectures in Zhejiang have been spent several years under the rule of China and have the tendency of the people to do so. The Qing Dynasty went south all the way to conquer cities and territory, but behind it was all the resistances of all sizes.

Common landlords resisted donations and anti-foods in the rear, organized volunteers and militias, while small civil merchants and ordinary people spontaneously organized anti-Qing forces. Among them, Ningbo was the most active in resisting the Qing Dynasty. This was because after the restoration of Zhejiang, the abolition of slavery law issued to liberate all beggar households in Zhejiang into legal civilians. These beggar households were originally established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty to retaliate against the southeastern people who supported Zhang Shicheng. In the past few hundred years, beggar households could only engage in low-cost businesses. Now they have finally turned around and how can they not protect the system established by the United States?

After stabilizing the southeast, Li Mingxun will personally go south to command the fleet to fight, and strive to eliminate the joint fleet on the Indian Ocean as soon as possible so that it will not ravage China's core interest area, namely the waters east of Malacca.

If this plan continues, after winning at sea, the United States of China, which is well-trained and well-funded, will launch a large-scale counterattack on the core areas of the Qing Dynasty in the autumn and winter of this year, creating a new situation for the national liberation and pacification of Manchuria. However, as Zhu Youlang was captured by Wu Sangui, everything changed. At least for now, Li Mingxun was not allowed to go south to deal with the threat at sea. At the critical moment of turmoil in the Sino-Ming Alliance, Li Mingxun took charge of the mainland to stabilize the great situation that had been finally achieved over the years.

In addition to strategic changes, what Li Mingxun couldn't accept the most was that Emperor Ming was captured by traitors like Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui is not just the leader of traitors. The United States issued a list of war criminals based on the original list of traitors. In order to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, it was able to clear the culprits of the Chinese catastrophe in a legal and reasonable way. In the newly issued list of war criminals, the four major war criminals were equally ranked, namely Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, Wu Sangui and Aisinjue Luo Fulin. The four of them represent the four largest enemies with China, namely feudal bureaucrats, literati, rebel generals and Manchu nobles.

It can be seen that among the four major war criminals, traitors still account for the largest proportion, which also shows that the principle of liquidation in this war with the Chinese team is that betrayers are more hateful than invaders.

Wu Sangui, who led the wolf into the house, committed a sin of unforgivable sin, which could not be forgiven by reason or law. But by hijacking the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he hoped to obtain understanding and pardon. But can the trump card in his hand really bring the glory and wealth of Wu Sangui's family? Li Mingxuan doesn't want to surrender.

In short, anti-Qing was just a process. Li Mingxun hoped to eliminate the feudal system and feudal forces formed in China over 2,000 years through this war. This is the fundamental and the iron law in principle. The theme of these reactionary forces is the gentry group. However, from a legal point of view, if the traitors like Wu Sangui can be pardoned, then everyone behind the war criminals will be qualified to be pardoned. That is to say, the stubborn gentry class in the list of war criminals and liquidation can be preserved in similar ways, and this feudal remnant will inevitably have a very adverse impact on the United States in the future.

Now Wu Sangui claims to be a rare commodity, although he has not made any request yet. But Li Mingxun's heart has made a decision that he will not surrender to him just because the emperor is in his hands, but this means that the Ming Dynasty royal family will be slaughtered. Putting aside the personal relationship between Li Mingxun and the Ming Dynasty royal family, if he loses the trump card of the Ming Dynasty Emperor at this critical moment, the Zhongming Alliance will be on the verge of collapse.

"No matter how angry you are, it is useless now. Emperor Ming has fallen into Wu Sangui's hands. All we have to do is to stabilize the situation. Although you are like Liu Wenxiu and Huang Fei demonstrated our strong strength, this is not enough. The powerful generals of the Ming Dynasty are neither good nor fair-minded. Once they feel an opportunity to take advantage of, supporting the new king is the best way for these guys to realize their ambitions." Lin Chen patted Li Mingxun's shoulder and reminded.

Li Mingxun's face changed drastically. He couldn't help but pat his head and said, "I'm so confused. I'm actually doing these useless things here. Brother, you're right. There are too many idiots in the Ming Dynasty. If any idiot pops up at this time, it will become a rat shit that ruins our good soup."

Since the death of Emperor Chongzhen, the throne inheritance system formed by the Ming Dynasty over 200 years has been in name only. Once Chongzhen died, he had a dispute between him or her, and when Hongguang died, the Tang Dynasty and Lu Kings had another dispute. Although Yongli had no talent and knowledge, as an orthodox, it was an indisputable existence, which was crucial to maintaining the resistance of the last decades of Southern Ming.

But now the problem lies in this orthodox. Wu Sangui abducted not only the emperor, but also all the emperor's sons. In short, the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty is no longer there. Then the Zhu Ming royal family scattered in all sides may be used by others. Whether it is supporting the new king or supervising the country, it is a provocation to the alliance system created by Li Mingxun. At that time, the new king was the one who was on Ding Ding, and the mosquitoes could not be beaten or held back, and it was really uncomfortable to drive it away.

"Now my heart is in chaos. What do you mean by me?" Li Mingxun asked seriously.

Lin Cheng was prepared and said: "In the Zhuming system, there are a total of five forces. In addition to the four feudals of Qiong, Jin, Shu and Zheng, there are thirteen Kuidong families. Among the five forces, there are three southwest, there is no need to worry. Qiongfan is close to him, Jinfan is sincere, and Shufan is from the Qing Dynasty, and they dare not act rashly. Only Kuidong and Zhoushan need to be vigilant. Kuidong is still easy to say. If he is surrounded by the Qing Dynasty, he will be besieged and will not be worth the loss. Only Zhengfan is alone in Zhoushan and has always been incompatible with me. If this happens, it will be too late to regret it."

Li Mingxun's hand clenched rattle. He said: "In the past, I was a little more lenient to Zheng Chenggong, but now it seems that I have to prepare in advance. I will continue to ask the Marine Corps to send two brigades to Zhoushan and send another Jiangnan Fleet to guard the police. Zheng Chenggong dared not act rashly."

A light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes, because his plan was to simply send troops to destroy him, Zheng Chenggong, which could be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger. But now it seems that Li Mingxun still adheres to the principle and does not fight an unjust war.

The matter of preventing random support was settled. As Lin Cheng said, the Qiongfan was the most intimate in the Three Vastaries in the southwest, and they were one with the United States. The Li Dingguo of the Jin vassal was brotherly friendship with Li Mingxun and always treated each other with the same heart. At this time, the Shufan was not a good friend, but one thing was that the change in the Dianjing began with the Shufan. If someone mentioned the support and rebellion in the Shufan, wouldn’t he throw dirty water on himself? At this time, the Shufan needed to prove his innocence and loyalty.

"You have to make a charter to deal with the challenge at sea. Now you are extremely lucky. But the Navy must not be without a commander for a day. Simmons or Li Beiji, you have to make up your mind." Lin Cheng said in Li Mingxun's ear.

It can be said that the battle with the European Combined Fleet was China's last large-scale war on the seas of the Eastern World. Whether considering the impact of success or failure on strategy or the honor brought by victory, Li Mingxun wanted to personally direct this unprecedented war. But now it is impossible for him to go south to fight.

The United States was established by the sea. Simmons could stand alone for more than 20 years, and Li Beiji was also the best choice. Zhao Sandao Song Luofeng, although these people were also famous for their achievements in combat, were not among the considerations of Li Mingxun. The reason was very simple. They had always commanded the offshore fleet and even the inland fleet. The battleships on the high seas and oceans were not their strengths.

Originally this should not be a problem. After all, Simmons was the commander of the United States' navy and had made great achievements in the past. However, in the key battle to determine whether the United States' success or failure, whether it is Lin Cheng or Li Mingxun, or those sarcastic villains at home and abroad, they always think of Simmons' yellow hair on his head and the blue in his eyes.

The person who is not my race will have different hearts. This topic has never been far away from Simmons and the minorities in the country. But Li Mingxun didn't think about it for a long time. He said: "Simmons is Simmons, Simmons of my United States of China. As the commander of the Chinese naval and admiral, he has the responsibility to bear the burden at this time, and I have never doubted his loyalty."

Lin Cheng seemed to have expected Li Mingxun to make such arrangements. He did not refute, but reminded: "Mingxun, you must know that this is a battle to determine the general trend of the world. Such an epic war cannot be lacking in the color of the head of the United States. If you are not in the fleet, there must be another person in the fleet. This is not only the common wish of the 150,000 naval soldiers, but also the wish of the veterans and members of the parliament."

Li Mingxun fell into deep thought after listening to these meaningful words. The strength of the United States Navy is undoubtedly, especially in terms of combat ships and personnel quality. It can be said that the victory and defeat with the Joint Fleet is not a big problem, but if a large-scale victory will create a problem. Simmons, who is already an admiral, will inevitably be promoted to the Marshal of the Navy because of this military merit. At that time, Simmons and the position of the elders in the Senate will be widened. His alien bloodline has been greatly watched by all parties in the country. If he is allowed to be one step ahead of other veterans, the result will be bleak. Most importantly, this will challenge the supreme position of the head of state in the entire power system.

Li Mingxun thought for a while and said, "I understand, brother, Jundu has grown up. He did a good job in the Naval Academy. He can already stand alone at the age of 15. Was Ah Hai only fifteen or sixteen?"

Lin Cheng was very satisfied with Li Mingxun's approach, but nothing was discussed just now. After pulling Li Mingxun down, Lin Cheng said seriously: "Mingxun, Emperor Ming has fallen into the hands of traitors like Wu Sangui, and has reached a dead end. At this time, you have to consider the issue of the throne."

Li Mingxun was stunned on the spot. This was not the first time Lin Cheng discussed the issue of becoming emperor with him. In fact, since Emperor Chongzhen died on the coal mountain, every time Zhu Ming's death of the emperor would make this issue reappear in Lin Cheng's mouth. In the past, Li Mingxun chose to refuse for unity and for the fundamental political system of the United States, but can he still refuse at this time?
