Chapter 359 Whoever enters Beijing first will dominate the world?
On the same night, Zhu Heji, King Zhu Tian, Princess Kunxing, Yang Qilong, Chen Yonghua and others who had returned to the island in the lake also gathered together to discuss how to adjust the strategies to be adopted in the upcoming Heroes Meeting.
"Your Majesty, you really shined at the Heroes' Meeting today, enough to make all the heroes in the world regard you as the best person in the world! It can be said that your name of 'Saint' is well-deserved. But
I am worried that the Wu family father and son are also wary of us, and I am afraid..."
The speaker was Yang Qilong, who could probably be regarded as a figure from Wu Sangui's camp. Although he had not met Wu Sangui a few times, he still knew the thoughts of these unscrupulous Wu Yingzhong people.
"The man surnamed Wu is pretending to be a hero in front of the heroes of the world. If he betrays his trust later, won't he be afraid that the people of the world will betray him?"
King Zhu Tian still has a bit of a hero's mentality and is somewhat naive.
"Third brother, the world!" Princess Kunxing said "the world" and almost gritted her teeth. If Wu Sangui were in front of her, she would probably pounce on him and bite him.
She said to Zhu Heji word by word: "Nephew, if you have power, you will prosper, if you lose it, you will perish... Between gain and loss, it is really the difference between heaven and hell! I was born in heaven, and
Those who have entered the eighteenth level of hell and are now in heaven again know best the joys and sorrows of it. You must never believe Wu Sangui, he will do anything for the sake of power in the world!"
Chen Yonghua also echoed: "What the princess said is absolutely true. Wu Sangui has reached the time to proclaim himself emperor, and there is no way out. Moreover, his so-called three-thirds of the world is actually a piece of ruined mountains and rivers, with a population of even eight hundred."
Wandu has none. But after we include Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi, our population has exceeded 10 million, and our tax revenue is several times greater!
If we can capture the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, our population will exceed 25 million, which is half of the world's. Our annual fiscal and tax income will probably be two-thirds of the world's annual income!
"
In fact, what Chen Yonghua said is an understatement!
He also missed another asset of huge value - Nanyang's zero-dollar purchase business!
At that time, Zheng Zhilong's annual income from this business, conservatively calculated, was several million every year!
Moreover, the management capabilities of people like Zhu Heji, Zheng Jingjing, Qiu Hui, and Chen Yonghua are many times greater than those of Wu Sangui and Kangxi.
If they were allowed to take over the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huizhou, and continue to operate well for a few years, it would be possible for them to have ten times the financial resources of Kangxi and Wu Sangui.
By then Zhu Ming will be the Cao Wei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Wu Sangui will be the bitter Shu Han, and Emperor Kangxi will be "Sun Shiwan".
Zhu Hejie spoke carefully at this time: "No matter how unreliable Wu Sangui is, we all have to go to Jiangnan first... The world today is different from the past. The vitality of the world lies in Jiangnan and Lingnan. As long as these two places are present
In our hands, sooner or later the world will be ours!
However, we must have the heart to defend against Wu! This is what I think. To defend against Wu, we can use a two-pronged approach. One is to defend it with armored fortresses. We can build fortresses in Tianjia Town and Banbi Mountain, deploy heavy troops, and then block the Yangtze River with iron cables and pontoon bridges. As long as Wu Sangui
His navy could not get past the Tianjia Town-Banbishan defense line. No matter how strong his land division was, it would be difficult to capture Nanchang, Ganzhou, Dehua, Hukou and other important places in Jiangxi in a short time.
The second is...after Wu Sangui returns the late emperor's edict tomorrow, we will make an agreement that 'the first one to enter Beijing will rule the world'."
King Zhu Tian became a little anxious when he heard the news, "Whoever enters Beijing first will rule the world? Shaozi, what do you mean?"
Zhu Heji said: "Even before capturing Beijing, neither side claimed the title of emperor... Then it was agreed that whoever conquers Beijing first can become the emperor. And whoever fails to conquer Beijing will be regarded as the king or the emperor."
I am a subject in the name of the president.”
King Zhu Tian was stunned, "Aren't you afraid that Wu Sangui will really break into Beijing?"
Zhu Heji narrowed his eyes and said, "If we attack Jiangnan, Wu Sangui will not sit still no matter what. This is his last resort. Either he attacks Beijing or he hits us on the back. Although I can do it in Tian's house
Town - Banbi Mountain has a golden defense, but there is always the possibility of breaking the defense. So the best choice is to let Wu Sangui go north to attack Beijing... As for him, he can't attack Beijing first.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much. For Kangxi, losing Beijing will mean the country will be destroyed, and losing Nanjing will still save three points. So once the Wu army launches a large-scale Northern Expedition, he will definitely abandon Nanjing to protect Beijing. Besides, we also have a unique plan for the Northern Expedition by sea!"
King Zhu Tian nodded and said: "That's all we have to do...but how many people can pass by sea? Can we capture the city of Beijing?"
Zhu Heji glanced at Chen Yonghua, "Commander Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Yonghua said: "We are not familiar with the road north to Tianjin. If we sail along the coast, the coast of northern Jiangsu is shallow and not suitable for our large sea ships. We can only transfer to sand ships in Ningbo. Maybe the sand ships in our hands that can travel by sea are not suitable.
I'm afraid it will be over if we transport three thousand people to the north."
"Three thousand people..." Zhu Heji thought for a moment, "Add another two hundred thousand!"
"An army of two hundred thousand?" King Zhu Tian exclaimed.
"Two hundred thousand taels of gold!" Zhu Heji looked at Yang Qilong and said, "Yang Qilong... I'll give you two hundred thousand taels of gold! Can you give it a try?"
"You can give it a try!" When Yang Qilong heard that there was so much gold, he immediately became excited, "I also want ten gold medals for immunity."
"Here you go!" Zhu Heji smiled and said to his father, King Zhu Tian, "Abba, you are the third prince of the prison country. After you arrive in Tianjin, you can issue orders to the prison country. You will be the governor and governor of the north.
Can be appointed!”
"Well," King Zhu Tian said with a smile, "if Kang Mazi's men know about Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition, they will definitely be heartbroken. If we just come to recruit traitors, we might really be able to let me enter Beijing first. But this emperor, I
You still can’t do it, Shai Zai...you have to be the emperor well!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Heji quickly stood up and saluted his father: "I accept the decree!"
...
"Whoever enters Beijing first will be king?"
Before the heroes meeting on February 3rd, Wu Sangui learned from the two brothers Wan Sitong and Wan Sida about the conditions set by Zhu Heji - there could not be a "surprise attack" in this matter, and they had to be let go in advance.
Wu Sangui knew about this, so he could discuss it first. So Zhu Heji asked Wan Sida from his side to go to Ruiqing Palace to ventilate with Wu Sangui early this morning.
Vance laughed and said: "President, what the third grandson wants is for both families to slowly proclaim themselves emperor, and then make an agreement to enter the capital first and become king... This way, there will be a way out."
"Haha, this is to imitate the king who entered Guanzhong first!" Wu Sangui smiled, "I know!"
After saying "I know", Wu Sangui picked up the tea bowl. This is called serving tea to see off guests.
Wu Sangui had to discuss it carefully with his subordinates, so he didn't have time to chat with the Wan brothers.
The Wan brothers were also sensible people and immediately stood up to leave.
After the two left, Wu Sangui called his three sons (including an adopted son) and two military advisers who had brought him to Jiugong Mountain, as well as Wu Yingxiong's god-sister Kong Sizhen.
"Dad," Wu Yingqi was the first to express his opinion, "I think it's okay! Give me all those 20,000 cavalry, and I can reach Beijing within a month!"
Wu Yingxiong frowned and was about to raise an objection when Kong Sizhen, who came with him, spoke up first: "President, the Nu family also thinks that the Second Young Master's words are reliable... The Qing Dynasty is about to end.
Who can those slaves in the north turn to? Are they going to join the Zhu family and wait to settle the score in the future? They are not stupid! As long as the president is willing to give up the official title of the founding hero, let alone the Han military flag, even the serious Eight Banners disciples will join the president!
"
Wu Guogui nodded and said: "The princess is right, the eldest brother's wives are all princesses of the Aixinjueluo family. Even if Chang Ning surrenders, he is still a relative. If Prince Zhu San is allowed to enter Beijing, haha...
