Chapter 386 Move the capital to Nanjing for the moon

After Shang Yongzhong left, Li Dingguo immediately clasped his fists at Zhu Youlang and said, "Your Majesty, is this condition a bit too much? Will Shang Kexi agree?"

Zhu Youlang laughed and said, "In your opinion, this condition is too much? I might as well tell you that with the Shang family's identity in Guangdong, it is not a problem to get 10 million taels of silver a year."

This is by no means Zhu Youlang's words, but a well-founded judgment.

The simplest thing is that the Zheng family was in Fujian who earned tens of millions of taels a year by collecting marine taxes and raising an invincible naval army.

The situation in Guangdong will not be worse than that in Fujian, and Shang Kexi is definitely not short of money.

As for the muskets and cannons, they are even more ready-made. The hail realm is in Guangdong, where there are the Franks with the largest number of the Ming Dynasty.

These Frankish people are the most advanced in mastering firearm technology in this era. If Zhu Youlang did not make any mistakes, wouldn’t he be sorry for his identity as a time traveler?

Moreover, these Frankish people only recognize money. As long as Zhu Youlang can pay them a satisfactory salary, they will definitely compete to serve Zhu Youlang.

Li Dingguozhi was stunned in surprise.

If it is really as His Majesty the Emperor said, then the Shang family is as rich as the country.

No wonder Shang Kexi dared to withdraw his troops directly in the key battle in Nanchang, Jiangxi. It turns out that he has the confidence.

After Shunzhi heard the news, even though he was so angry that he could only pinch his nose and accept it.

There is no way. If Shang Kexi angers Shang Kexi, who declares against the Qing Dynasty in anger, then Shunzhi can find a zhuzi to kill him.

At least now, the Geng family was loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

It's not that Shang Kexi secretly gives Zhu Youlang money.

There is no way, who told Shang Kexi to like his precious son so much?

If you want to prevent the Ming army from tearing up the votes, you can only accept it.

"But then again, I will have to fight in Guangdong sooner or later. Since I can earn 10 million taels, why should I share it with Shang Kexi? These are my money!"

Zhu Youlang said domineeringly: "It's just that the time is not yet available. Once the south is basically pacified, it will be the time for me to take action against Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao."

Zhu Youlang's judgment was based on the basic comparison of strength between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Qing Dynasty was in the north and the Ming Dynasty was in the south.

It was originally difficult to fight from south to north.

In today's form, if the Ming army was stabbed in the back by Monk Geng Jimao during the Northern Expedition, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Youlang would definitely pacify the two of them, and Wu Sangui was not worth worrying about.

After all, Yunnan is too far away.

Zhu Youlang could completely deal with Wu Sangui after the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Dingguo flattered without a trace, and then suggested: "Now King Zhong has rushed to Nanjing first to prepare for the reunion. Your Majesty will see if you want to leave a part of the army stationed in Ganjiang, Jiangxi to receive the guns and cannons sent by Shang Kexi. Your Majesty, you will go to Nanjing first."

Zhu Youlang was just thinking this way, so he nodded and said, "But, King Jin will arrange the specific matters."

After a moment of pause, Zhu Youlang continued: "But I want the prince to come to Nanjing too, what do you think of the King of Jin?"

In fact, Zhu Youlang has been weighing this issue.

The prince stayed in Chengdu and could consolidate the morale of the southwest military.

After all, the Ming army fought from the southwest to Jiangxi.

Although the territory is bigger now, the basic market that year cannot be given up.

If the prince leaves Chengdu, the Sichuan Ming army will definitely change.

But since Zhu Youlang has decided to move the capital, it is a matter of time.

The prince must have grown a lot after this period of experience.

Zhu Youlang also wanted to take him to his side and train him well.

After all, the crown prince is the future of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Youlang is in full swing in spring and autumn, he cannot help but consider the future.

"Your Majesty, this kind of matter is hard to comment."

Li Ding Guozhi was extremely embarrassed.

Your Majesty asked who was not good to come and ask him.

After all, Li Dingguo's foundation is in the southwest.

Whether it was Zhang Xianzhong who led the Great Western Army into Sichuan or Liu Wenxiu who later went to Jianchang to operate, and was named King of Shu and entered Chengdu, Sichuan left a strong mark on the Great Western Army.

Under this situation, the local people, including the army, must have trusted Li Dingguo very much.

If the main force of the Ming army and the imperial court moved to Nanjing, some people would inevitably have some opinions.

This is inevitable.

But Li Dingguo cannot ask the emperor not to move the capital just because of what may happen. This is not something that a minister should do.

Zhu Youlang seemed to understand Li Dingguo's difficulties, and smiled awkwardly and politely.

"Forget it, I understand."

He cleared his throat and said, "I have decided to order the prince immediately and the cabinet is preparing to move the capital."

"I obey the order!"

Li Dingguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right. As long as His Majesty issues an imperial edict, he will follow it without hesitation.

This is like the Qianguo Duke Mu Tianbo. Although he was reluctant to move the capital from Kunming to Chengdu, he still obeyed the order and did it.

Now the Ming Dynasty is put to death and then survives, and the situation is very good. What they, as ministers, have to do is to focus closely around the emperor and do their best to assist the emperor in reviving the Ming Dynasty.

Nanjing Governor's Palace.

Zheng Jing is reading a report.

When Shi Lang, who had been hiding from his hiring, learned that the main force of the Zheng family was going to attack Jiangxi, he could not hold on.

He sent troops from southern Zhejiang to capture the two prefectures of Shaoxing and Ningbo, and then pointed at Hangzhou.

Shaoxing and Ningbo have actually been swaying between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The Ming army took it down today, and the Qing army later killed it back.

The city is filled with king flags, and even the local people don’t know who the city will belong to when they get up tomorrow morning.

But Hangzhou is different. As the most important city in Zhejiang, the Zheng family has attached great importance to it since the beginning.

In addition to Nanjing, Zhenjiang, the place where the Ming army was most stationed is Hangzhou.

But this time Zheng Chenggong took away too many troops. Now there are only 5,000 people in Hangzhou city.

Five thousand people are too few.

Zheng Jing frowned, feeling very nervous.

Fortunately, he returned from Denglai in advance, otherwise there would be no one in charge in Nanjing now.

After all, Zhang Huangyan and Mr. Zhang also followed his father to Jiangxi.

It would be great if General Gan Hui was by his side now.

I don’t know when Zheng Chenggong began to rely heavily on Gan Hui.

Maybe it's because Gan Hui can always think of something for Zheng Jing that he can't think of?

Zheng Jing is not a meticulous person, but Gan Hui can make up for this very well.

If the two complement each other, they can do things well.

But now that Gan Hui stayed in Denglai, Zheng Jing had to decide on everything himself.

Now there are 20,000 people who are left behind in Nanjing and Zhenjiang. Should we mobilize these troops to reinforce Hangzhou?

If these troops are mobilized, what if the Qing army from Fengyang and Yangzhou come to attack Nanjing again?

Zheng Jing was in a very embarrassing way.
