Fengjiabao was built in Mang Mountain, adjacent to Gong County. Compared with the mess of Kaifeng, it felt like a paradise.
There are hundreds of houses, miles of dock walls, arrow towers, watchtowers, and huge drums standing horizontally.
Because most of the green tiles are used, the green tiles are connected into pieces, and the black color is dizzy. Secondly, the smoke from cooking smoke makes it black, so it is called Wubao.
In fact, it is a small city with all the defense facilities available.
The small but exquisite Wubao was like useless to the bandits, and the losses were greater than the gains. Therefore, they have been continuously popular since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and they have been continuously demolished after the establishment of the New Dynasty.
Today's Fengjiabao seems particularly lively.
His Royal Highness the King of Yu, who was at the height of his prestige, came to visit him personally, and the whole Fengjia Fort was honored with it.
Feng Xianzong led the way, and Mr. Feng followed behind with a serious look on his face.
"Your Highness, forts like Fengjiabao are mostly located in the west of Kaifeng, near Luoyang and the Yellow River. Local gentry were forced to build them in order to preserve their vitality."
Feng Xianzong explained: "Henan was originally a land of peace, but now it is forced to practice martial arts, and martial arts prevails."
"Wubao in Henan has preserved its vitality, but I don't know how many people there are now?"
His Royal Highness the King of Yu Shi Shi Ran, Wubao was very novel to him and could not be seen in Shaanxi.
Compared with the bones exposed in the wild, not only chickens and dogs are heard in Wubao, but the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is even a bit of prosperity.
This kind of Wubao, which is dominated by families, tenants, and slaves, has a strong centripetal force. Unless it is a hard attack, sneak attacks and bribes are just in vain.
Without the red cannon, it would be extremely difficult to break through an enemy like Fengjiabao without killing 1,800 people.
Therefore, if we want Henan to truly become a white land, we must engage in peaceful persuasion, not just force.
"His Highness is now powerful in Henan. Although Wubao is strong, there are very few who can forcefully resist."
Feng Xianzong thought about it and said softly: "At least tens of thousands of people can move to Nanyang."
"try your best!"
Zhu Yixi nodded. Ever since he decided to abandon Luoyang and turn Henan into a white land, he had become even more determined.
People and food must not be left to the Manchus and thieves.
The reason why he came to Fengjiabao for inspection was to see the strength of Henan Wubao. Now that he saw it, it was indeed well-deserved.
But unfortunately, this kind of dock is just a piece of cake in front of the red cannon.
Staying overnight at Fengjiapu, the carefully selected Feng daughter was declined by King Yu.
He is no longer the anxious, down-and-out clan member from last year, but the King of Yu who attracts the attention of the whole world.
Not just any woman will live in the house.
Even though Zhu Yixi was moved by the red lady who had strong wife attributes, she did not act.
King Yu, who has great power in every move, will never show his flaws easily, especially before he ascends to the throne.
To put it bluntly, at this time, he needs to take care of himself.
Pretending and performing are all like this for big shots.
Furthermore, how many outstanding local gentry can there be?
"I will join you with three thousand soldiers to increase our power and try our best to persuade him before the end of the month."
Zhu Yixi ordered him softly.
The meaning is obvious. He returned to Huguang in early February, before spring plowing.
Feng Xianzong understood and immediately suggested: "There are many talented people in the Henan gentry. If Your Highness accepts them more, Wubao's journey south will go smoothly."
"Juncai!"
Zhu Yixi smiled. This was because the Henan people wanted to join his Qin army camp and pursue political demands.
Just enough to offset the Huguang people.
Checks and balances are a must.
"You tell them that as long as they are proficient in writing and writing, they can join the Department of Military and Political Affairs, and they can be transferred to other places after two or three months, as long as they pass the assessment."
The method of employing people was explained. In the absence of imperial examinations, training first and then assessing is the simplest and most direct method.
The next day, King Yu returned to Luoyang.
On the way, he received a reward from the Nanjing court.
"Shangfang Sword? Governor of Hubei, Shaanxi, and Henan?"
Zhu Yixi looked at the reward and couldn't help but smile.
These are all things that come at no cost, but they sound good in name, but in reality they encourage him to send troops to Shaanxi.
"I went to the court and said that there was a lack of troops and money and food. I asked the court to issue five hundred thousand shi of grain and one million taels of money so that the Qin army could march north to Shaanxi."
Zhu Yixi opened his mouth and began to blackmail him directly.
Zhu Mou, who was also a secretary and bodyguard, was already quite literate and kept writing, muttering: "Your Highness, can Nanjing give it to me?"
"I definitely won't give it to you."
Zhu Yixi hugged Sun Xuan'er, feeling the squeeze, and couldn't help but smile: "There must be an excuse to deal with it!"
Of course, it would be fun if the Nanjing court, which was deeply afraid of him, really gave it to him. Zhu Yixi would have to really do something.
Sun Xuan'er pulled up the quilt. Zhu Yixi's left hand was stunned, and then she dug deeper into the skirt of her clothes. The delicate and smooth jade turtle never got tired of playing with it.
"correct!"
Suddenly, to Thirteen who was immersed in paper and pen, Zhu Yixi once again ordered: "Send a message to Sun Changzhou and ask the Search Department to spread the news that His Majesty has no heir in Nanjing."
"We can't let Nanjing calm down too much, otherwise it will end up messing around."
The Nanjing court has been tossing peace talks with the Manchus recently.
To put it bluntly, in order to avenge Li Zicheng, he decided to compromise with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, conduct neutrality, and even achieve the desired situation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
For this reason, the Manchu Qing even launched a political offensive and sent a large number of Beijing courtiers southward to advocate peace talks and paralyze them.
In history, with the cooperation of the Donglin Party, the so-called "Three Suspicious Cases" occurred - the "Great Sadness Case", the "Prince Case" and the "Tong Concubine Case". These three major cases pointed directly at the legitimacy of the Hongguang regime.
The Donglin Party adheres to the principle of destruction if it can't get it, and exports crazily, which Ma Shiying can't resist.
The Hongguang court, which had been fighting among themselves to death, was doomed to end the moment they stood up.
"What a pity. It's such a beautiful place."
Zhu Yixi murmured.
At this time, he thought again, if he killed Duduo, would the Qing army still go south?
Do you really want to stand up for yourself?
But how can Qingjun compare with the public's expectations?
For a moment, he became confused.
The life and death of the people in Jiangnan are intertwined with power.
Reason told him that letting the Manchus overthrow the Hongguang court and becoming the savior himself was the wisest choice.
After struggling for a long time, Prince Yu slowly fell asleep in the carriage.
By the time we arrived in Luoyang, it was already dusk.
But at Luoyang City Gate, there was an endless stream of transportation vehicles.
Whether it is Prince Fu's Mansion or other princes' mansions, all valuable things will be transported to Nanyang and will not be left to the Manchus or thieves.
"The huge Zhongzhou is not a place to stay for a long time!"
Zhu Yixi woke up, looked at the brightly lit Luoyang City, and couldn't help but sigh: "Kaifeng is gone, and Luoyang has declined. It's a pity, it's a pity."
After entering the city, Chen Yongfu reported: "There are only 20,000 to 30,000 people left in the city, and they have all been sent to Ruzhou during this period."
"Your Highness, Ruzhou is adjacent to Luoyang and is in a commanding position. As long as you hold here, you can threaten Luoyang and Tongguan at any time."
"Of course I know."
Zhu Yixi said with emotion: "Use retreat to advance. If you have established a strategy, then implement it."
Although this march north to Luoyang was a loss economically, it was a harvest politically.
First of all, it alleviated Li Zicheng's dilemma of being attacked from two sides and barely saved his life. He should be able to survive for a while.
Secondly, it broke the invincible aura of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, built up the confidence of the Qin army, and won the world-famous prestige for King Yu.
Having achieved the strategic goal, giving up Luoyang would not be so uncomfortable.
Only by giving up can you gain.
