Chapter 726
Hangzhou Pier.
The sea boat approached the shore and threw down the anchor. The soldiers on the shore immediately tied up the ropes thrown from the boat and fixed the ship.
The boat was put down the board, and after a moment, Zhao Ming waved his hand and walked off the boat.
"Welcome to Your Highness!" The civil and military officials of Wu Yue, as well as gentry and people gathered on the pier, cheered.
Zhao Ming walked into the crowd with great dignity. Chen Mingyu, Qian Qianyi and others welcomed him and bowed, "Your Highness!"
Zhao Ming pointed at the edge of the dock with a smile, and the cheering crowd, "This is a fight between you and others!"
Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who are spontaneous."
Zhao Mingcai didn't believe it and smiled and said, "Don't engage in these formalisms in the future and abuse people's power!"
After saying that, Zhao Ming walked up to the top and enjoyed the welcome. What makes people feel more accomplished than the support of the people?
Zhao Ming heard the cheers around him and felt that he was a bit like the supreme leader of North Korea, so he climbed into the wooden box and said a few words loudly to the people who came to greet him, which moved the people.
In the past, officials were all arrogant, let alone the lord of a country. Ordinary people couldn't even look at it. However, Zhao Ming was so kind and so kind, so why wasn't he loved by the people?
Zhao Ming said a few words and asked the people to go back, and they were all busy, but the people just made way for a passage, and then stood by the dock, watching Zhao Ming walk away, and then followed Zhao Ming and sent all the way to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou, King of Wuyue.
In the palace, Zhao Ming took off his clothes and changed into a four-clawed dragon robe made of silk.
Emperor Longwu liked to wear cloth robes to show his diligence and thrift, but Zhao Ming was the opposite. If you have good things, you must wear good things.
This is because Longwu is indeed poor and there is no money in the treasury, so he takes the lead in advocating frugality, hoping that his officials will be frugal and can be honest in their officials.
Wu Yue's country was rich, and Zhao Ming was wearing cloth robe and patched it, so he was a little pretending to be a grandson.
Moreover, Wu Yue Kingdom advocated industry and commerce, frugality, and suppressed material desires, which was not conducive to the development of trade and commerce.
The weather in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is hotter than outside the pass. Zhao Ming changed into a silk robe as thin as a cicada wing, with a golden silk winged crown inlaid with two egg-sized night pearls, and a belt woven by Hetian jade on his waist. He walked out and sat down.
At this time, the maid went to the hall and gave some refreshments to Zhao Ming and the ministers.
Zhao Ming then asked, "What is the situation of the war between Tang and Lu in recent days?"
Chen Zilong said: "Report to Your Highness, not long ago, Jin Shenghuan joined forces with Gao Yigong and joined forces to defeat King Lu in Hukou and seize Hukou. However, while pursuing King Lu, they were attacked by Li Yuanyin and returned in a big defeat, so that Lu would not be able to regain Hukou and occupy Jiujiang and Nanchang! Now, the two armies are coming in Jiangxi and have not yet decided the victory or defeat!"
Qian Qianyi said: "If it weren't for Your Highness this time, if Li Yuanyin, Ruan Jin and others would return from Liaodong to participate in the war, the King of Lu might have been defeated!"
Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "Will that be true, Li Chengdong, Wu Zhaosheng, and Zhang Mingzhen are all people who can fight, and they are not so easy to fail! Although Li Yuanyin's ten thousand people are well-equipped and strong in combat, they are difficult to change the overall situation!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ming asked: "You all think that between Tang and Lu, who has a greater chance of winning!"
Everyone pondered for a while, and Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, for both, Tang Fan has a greater chance of winning!"
Zhao Ming always thought so, but he still asked: "Why?"
Chen Zilong said: "Now, although the Jiangbei army's offensive is fierce, it is blocked by the Tang vassals Chu and Gan soldiers. The elite soldiers of Jiangbei have already emerged. The people of Fujian and Guangdong under the Tang vassals have not participated in the war. Once the Zheng State surname and Su Guansheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, participate in the war, the King of Lu will be defeated soon."
Zhao Ming nodded slightly and said, "What you said is reasonable!"
Chen Zilong is a military commander. He has analyzed the war many times and can see these things. It is not surprising at all.
Moreover, he had letters with his student Xia Wanchun, and he was very clear about the truth and truth of the King of Lu.
"Your Highness!" Chen Zilong continued: "Just just now, I will only talk about the two. If we include our Wu Yue Kingdom, the situation will be different!"
Zhao Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the difference?"
Chen Zilong smiled and said, "If only two are there, Tang Fan's chances of winning are greater than Lu Fan, but if Your Highness participates in the battle~" Chen Zilong kept a secret, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "Where will your Highness stand, and win!"
Zhao Ming smiled, "Does the Qing Dynasty and the Western Army also need to consider it?"
Chen Zilong put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Highness, the Qing Dynasty is now divided into East and West Qing dynasties, and he has no time to take care of himself. His own affairs have not been resolved. How dare he intervene in the internal disputes of the Ming Dynasty. According to the Military Information Department, after Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was the guide of Wu Sangui and entered Shu. The internal chaos of the Western Army is afraid he will not be able to participate in the war."
Before, after Sun Kewang joined the Qing Dynasty, Hanzhong and Guanzhong Qing army wanted to use Sun Kewang's identity to seek Sichuan and Sichuan, and take action.
Wu Sangui led a large army to return to Shu, and with the help of Sun Kewang, he surrendered a large number of Western troops.
Originally, as long as the Qing Dynasty supported, Wu Sangui had a chance to seize Sichuan, but because of the great defeat of Gaizhou and Ajige's rebellion, Wu Sangui had limited military resources and could not completely occupy Sichuan. He was fighting fiercely with the Western Army led by Li Dingguo in Sichuan.
When Zhao Ming heard the words, he couldn't help but say, "The world is in chaos, it seems that only Isolate has not been involved yet!"
Qian Qianyi said: "I dare to ask, which side does Your Highness stand?"
Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "No hurry! The time is still ripe. It's too early to take the team now, so you must do something in advance if you clear the Qing Dynasty!"
Everyone looked at each other, but didn't know what happened, so they saluted and said, "I'd like to tell you!"
Zhao Ming then ordered: "The Qing Dynasty was in conflict, the Ming Dynasty had conflicts in Tang and Lu, and today the war continued, and refugees would inevitably rise everywhere. What I asked Qing and others to do was to accept refugees and enrich the population of Liaoning and Nanyang!"
When everyone heard the words, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but nod and salute, "Your Highness is wise and has far-sighted ideas!"
What restricts the development of Wu Yue Kingdom now is not money and food, but population. There is too much land, but lacks development for the people. The domestic resources are sufficient and the existing land cannot be cultivated, so it is difficult to have the momentum of expansion in the country.
For Western colonies to expand, every colony took decades or even hundreds of years to develop. However, Zhao Ming recovered Taiwan, Liaoning, occupied Luzon and Xinmingzhou in a very short time, and demanded development as soon as possible, which required a large population.
At this moment, everyone discussed for a while, and Zhao Ming had been wandering on the sea for half a month, and was a little tired, so he asked, "If you don't have anything else, let's disperse!"
The reign of the Cao Dynasty, Dai Zhijun said: "Your Highness has something to report!"
Zhao Ming raised his hand and said, "What's the matter?"
Dai Zhijun said: "Everyone from Tang and Lu came to the capital of the king, and wanted to enfeoff Your Highness the King of Yizi!"
"Oh~" Zhao Ming was energetic and became interested.
Dai Zhijun continued: "The envoy of the Tang vassal state brought the decree of the Tang vassal state and appointed Your Majesty as the King of Wings! The envoy of the Lu vassal state brought the decree of the Lu vassal state and wanted to confer Your Highness the King of Yue!"
