Summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter solstice. Time flies, and it is 1658, the end of the first year of Yongli.

Since the end of the Tang and Lu disputes, wars in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have also ended one after another, allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to have a stable New Year.

After the Ming army recovered Jiangbei and Ajige retreated to Xuzhou, Zhao Ming saw that there was no voice within the Ming Dynasty opposing his decree and establishment of the emperor and served as the regent. He felt that his butt was temporarily settled, so he followed the wishes of the people and did not continue to use troops to the Eastern Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, today, it can be basically said that it is very peaceful and nothing major happened.

The only thing worth mentioning is that at the end of the year, Songjiang Prefecture reported that more than a dozen bodies that rushed to the ashore were found on the beach.

After learning about it, the Nanjing court immediately sent an inspector to check it out, thinking that it was a pirate who was causing trouble.

Unexpectedly, after an investigation, I found that the body was actually from the North Korean royal family.

At this time, the Nanjing Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple were about to send people to continue to investigate, but the Regent suppressed the matter and dealt with it in a normal shipwreck.

A few days later, Yang Wencong, the Han Dynasty leader, introduced the letter to inform the Nanjing court that the Korean royal family learned that the new king of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne and came to congratulate him. He did not want to encounter a shipwreck, and all were unfortunately killed.

Since all direct descendants of the Korean royal family died in shipwrecks, the Han Dynasty has taken over North Korea in full.

Zhao Ming is the King of Han, but the Han Dynasty is not owned by him, but belongs to the former Donghai Town, an interest group.

Zhao Ming returned Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to the Nanjing court, which made the Han Dynasty very dissatisfied. In order to appease the Han people, Zhao Ming immediately issued an order to formally revoke the Korean name on the grounds that the King of Korea was directly expelled and recognized the Han Dynasty's control over Korea.

In addition, a major event happened in the north. After Ajige led his troops to withdraw back to Xuzhou, he immediately sent envoys to Guanzhong to negotiate with Wu Sangui.

After a arduous negotiation, Wu Sangui and Ajig reached an agreement, Zhou and Qing dynasties reached a peace agreement, the two sides determined the border and agreed to a joint confrontation, and the Ming Dynasty, which was becoming increasingly powerful in the south.

In this way, the world was temporarily formed, with the world three parts, Zhou Qing united to resist the strong Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, Zhao Ming still needs to resume production in the Ming Dynasty. If Wu Sangui and Ajige do not take the initiative to cause chaos, this split situation should continue for a long time.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only a few days left before the New Year. The atmosphere of the New Year in Nanjing is getting stronger and stronger. Every household is slaughtering pigs and sheep, busy preparing sacrifices and cleaning the house.

The big households in the city are even more decorated with lights and firecrackers come from time to time.

As the New Year approached, the various vassal states of the Ming Dynasty who received the edict from the Regent rushed to Nanjing one after another.

If the Longwu towns could resolve conflicts with Zhu Yihai and join forces, they might be able to compete with Zhao Ming.

Now that Zhu Yihai has been abolished, the forces of Jianwu and his group have been purged. After Zhao Ming completely took control of the Nanjing court, the towns of Longwu realized that they had no strength and were competing with the Nanjing court.

Now the Yongli court controls Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, northern Jiangxi, Liaodong and Taiwan, and also has vassal Han countries, controlling Luzon and North Korea. It has a large territory, a large population, and a prosperous economy.

The Longwu group was divided into more than a dozen vassal states. Not only did they have a dispersed strength, but they only controlled their territory. They also had a relatively neutral position in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Compared with the Nanjing court, the Longwu clan was completely at a disadvantage in terms of territory, population and economy.

In terms of military affairs, the Nanjing imperial court now has as many as 500,000 troops directly under the imperial guards, and there are 50,000 Han Guofan soldiers, with many troops, well-equipped and sufficient money and food. Even if the Western Army of Li Dingguo was added, the troops were less than 300,000, and the equipment and money and food were incomparable to Nanjing.

Furthermore, after the Longwu Group was divided into several towns, the towns had equal status and lacked unified command, which caused people to be uneven. Some wanted to bring down Zhao Ming, some wanted to maintain the status quo, and some even wanted to rely on Nanjing, which caused the Longwu Group to be unable to compete with Nanjing.

Therefore, the Regent issued an edict, and all the vassals came to the east.

Early in the morning, the first year of Yongli, the last court meeting.

Regent Zhao Ming stood on the Hongwu Gate and watched the figures of Longwu vassals appear one after another in front of the square.

Many people had already arrived in Nanjing, but were embarrassed to live in the inn. They were afraid of being embarrassed when they met acquaintances, so they found inns or rented houses to live in, and waited until the court meeting.

Zhao Ming looked at Jin Shenghuan, Gao Yigong and others who appeared in front of the palace gate, and couldn't help but ask, "When did they arrive?"

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "I have arrived early and have been hiding in the city. I only came out today when the court meeting!"

At this time, in the square, Jin Shenghuan stood in the corner. Seeing Gao Yigong, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Old Gao, you are here too!"

Gao Yigong hurriedly said, "Just arrived! Just arrived!"

After the regent's edict was sent to the various vassals, the countermeasures naturally need to be discussed between the various vassals of Longwu.

As soon as Emperor Xiangzong left, everyone was embarrassed and immediately betrayed Emperor Xiangzong. So when Wuchang asked, most of the vassals expressed their indignation that they would never surrender to Zhao Ming, and that they would definitely advance and retreat with Wuchang.

Now, they all came to Nanjing, so it was naturally a bit embarrassing to meet.

Zhao Ming stood at the top of the city and looked at Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yaoqi, Li Laiheng, Zhu Linyuan, Zhu Yuyou, and Zhu Yue all came to the palace gate one after another, with a smile on his face.

At this time, Huang Zongxi, who was standing by, saw this scene, took the opportunity to chant a poem: "The King of Qin swept the sixth place, how could the tiger look at? He swept the sword and tried to scatter the floating clouds, and the princes came to the west. The Ming Dynasty passed from heaven to heaven, and the general guided all the talents. He withdrew troops and cast gold, and the Hangu opened east. He was imprinted with the Kuaiji Ridge and looked at Langya Terrace. The prisoners were 700,000, and they were on the shore of Mount Li. He was still picking ill-dead medicine, and he was confused and sad~~~"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but shook his head with some satisfaction, but then he felt something was wrong and frowned, "Mr. Huang, don't sing afterwards!"

In the square, Zhu Yuyou had a gloomy face and deliberately stood in front of the palace gate, staring at the Longwu vassals.

Zhu Linyuan was still young and could not be in charge of the director. As the younger brother of Emperor Xiangzong, Zhu Yuyou naturally became the leader of the Longwu clan.

At least that's what he thinks himself.

Jin Shenghuan and others had long noticed Zhu Yuyou standing in front of the palace gate, but they were embarrassed to come over and hid far away, not wanting to be seen by him.

At this time, the palace gate creaked open, and the guards called many ministers to come to the palace to meet.

The civil and military ministers of the Nanjing court walked past Zhu Yuyou and entered the palace, but Zhu Yuyou stood in front of the door and looked at the crowd.

"Tiger minister!" Zhu Yuyou's eyes were sharp, and he could see Jin Shenghuan mingling among the crowd and trying to enter the palace.

"Ah! Your Highness is here too!" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Jin Shenghuan could only look surprised, pretending to have just seen it, and walked over to greet him.

Zhu Yuyou looked like he wanted to eat people, "Didn't you say that you want to be loyal to the prince, and you won't surrender to Zhao Ming?"

Zhu Yuyou was originally in Ganzhou, but Zhao Ming conferred Ganzhou to Jin Shenghuan and transferred Zhu Yuyou to Xiangyang.

In order to make Zhu Yuyou quickly go to Xiangyang to take up the vassal state and hand over Ganzhou to himself, Jin Shenghuan once patted his chest and swore to the sky that he would definitely be loyal to the Tang vassal lineage.

Jin Shenghuan said hurriedly with embarrassment: "This matter is a must. My heart is for Your Highness, and it has never changed."

Zhu Yuyou said angrily: "Why did you hear that you were the first to come to Nanjing?"

"Rumor! It's definitely a rumor!" Jin Shenghuan sweated on his forehead. Suddenly, he saw Gao Yigong in the crowd, secretly trying to follow the crowd into the palace, and immediately shouted loudly: "Duke Gao!"

Gao Yigong's body stiffened and cursed in his heart. Whose grandson was so immoral, could only stop awkwardly and smiled and said, "Yeah, Your Highness, King Tang!"

Zhu Yuyou looked angry, "Duke Gao, you are here too!"

Gao Yigong looked serious, "Your Highness, Emperor Xiangzong gave me the name of justice, and I will never betray Emperor Xiangzong." After saying that, he bowed and quickly slipped into the palace.
