Kong Sizhen and Wu Guogui’s analysis is quite reasonable!
The conflict between Da Qing and Zhu Ming is irreconcilable, even greater than the conflict between Zhu Ming and Chuang Ying.
After all, the Yongli Dynasty had already recruited Li Zicheng's wife and nephew and established the Loyalty Camp. Moreover, the Loyalty Battalion continued to resist until Yongli died for his country!
In addition...most of this group of people are no longer alive, and the forces of Chuang and Xian Erying have also been wiped out. Therefore, Zhu Heji and others gave posthumous titles and gifts to the heroes of Chuang Xian Er Battalion, and gave some treatment to the orphans who could still be found. Not only could they win over people's hearts, but they could also enhance their own legitimacy - they would posthumously grant titles and posthumous gifts to Chuang Xian Er Battalion. The heroes of the camp can help the new Ming Dynasty gain the legal authority of the Yongli Dynasty.
Of course, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong cannot be granted posthumous titles or gifts.
But the hatred between Zhu Ming and Qing Dynasty is too deep!
Especially after the return of Princess Kunxing, King Zhu Tian has completely accepted Zhu Cijiong's character... Then he has to bear the hatred of his own brother who was Lingchi by the Qing court.
And Zhu Cixi was the Ming Dynasty emperor!
If Dorgon had secretly strangled Zhu Cixiang to death with a bowstring, the hatred would not have been so great, but he just took off his clothes and took him to death in public and chopped him up with a knife.
Things were done so brilliantly, how could the Manchu princes and Baylor dare to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?
However, Wu Sangui still did not make up his mind. Instead, he looked at his eldest son Wu Yingxiong who said nothing, "Yingxiong, do you still think you should deal with Zhu Heji first?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded and said: "My son still thinks that we should deal with the people named Zhu first! If my father thinks that we should go north first and then south, we can't send troops too early. We should first station the army in Wuchang and put pressure on Zhu Heji so that he can't do it." Dare to march eastward with all our strength. At the same time, send envoys to contact civil and military officials in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, Shandong, Zhili and other places, and make wishes to them with official appointments. Then send envoys to Nanjing..."
As he spoke, Wu Yingxiong glanced at Kong Sizhen again.
Kong Sizhen immediately understood what Mr. Wu meant and said immediately: "President, my niece can come."
Wu Sangui nodded and said nothing. After a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, it's getting late. It's time to go to the pier to greet the Zhu family."
...
Because Zhu Ming suddenly put forward the condition that "the first to enter Beijing will be king", the second meeting of the Heroes Association was postponed to noon on the third day of February.
The participants had a simple lunch and then took their seats or "stopped" in Ruiqing Hall.
The opening item of today's conference is for Wu Sangui to return the imperial edict of Chongzhen - this means that he has completed the task assigned by Emperor Chongzhen and repaid the Ming Dynasty's national favor. From now on, he is "free" and can interact with Zhu The third prince was on an equal footing and had the "freedom to proclaim himself emperor".
Although this drama of "returning the imperial edict" is more beneficial to Wu Sangui, it can also further confirm the identity of the third prince Zhu, so Zhu Heji and Zhu Tianwang, father and son, will recognize it...or else they will. , there would be no more Jiugongshan Heroes Meeting.
As for this hero meeting, Zhu Heji is definitely the biggest winner - he has already held his own political conference in front of the world's heroes.
Although now we are fighting for the world, not holding elections. But even if you are seizing power by force, it is necessary to let people know what you want to do in order to gain wider support.
In addition, the scene of "Chongzhen's Edict" has indeed come to an end.
In full view of the world's heroes, Wu Sangui personally handed over a copy of the "Chongzhen Edict" recognized by the world to King Zhu Tian.
Then Wu Sangui's shameless laughter rang out, "Hahaha, third prince, the late emperor asked a certain family to help you revive the Ming Dynasty... Now the Ming Dynasty already has the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi, plus the three provinces of Hunan. As a state capital, it should be considered a success in revitalizing it, right?"
The Third Prince Zhu smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty will be revived again, thanks to the efforts of my son and Si, and to your repentance, President..."
"What do you mean?" Wu Guogui, Wu Sangui's adopted son, immediately shouted, "What does my godfather have to regret?"
"Of course I will destroy Canming and kill Yongli!"
Monk Fengtianyu seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time and immediately answered it.
Wu Sangui's face turned green and he said coldly: "The late emperor's decree asked me to help the third prince, not King Gui. What's wrong with me killing him?"
"Then you can explain this matter to Prince Li Jin and the others... It's just a change of emperor. What's the big deal?"
Wu Sangui wanted to kill this bald donkey, but now in front of the heroes of the world, he could only endure it!
"President Wu has finally fulfilled the late emperor's decree!" Wan Sitong opened his mouth to relieve Wu Sangui at this time, "President, do you have anything else to say to the third prince?"
Wu Sangui responded and said to King Zhu Tian: "Third Prince, your family now has a large territory and can restore the Ming Dynasty, so please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
King Zhu Tian smiled and asked: "President, the Gu family is waiting for the foundation. Do you want to surrender to the Gu family?"
Wu Sangui sneered and said: "A certain family has received kindness from the late emperor, so it is natural that they should repay the favor. But who is in charge of the world has to be decided by the heroes of the world. Your Zhu family has brought down the world once..."
"How about this," Zhu Heji, the "great sage", said, "President, how about we make an appointment with the one who enters Beijing first to be your king?"
Wu Sangui was also waiting for Zhu Heji's words, but before he could nod in agreement, the great monk Fengtianyu who had been interrupting said again: "Wait a minute!"
Zhu Heji glanced at this very suspicious monk and frowned: "Master, the Gu family and the father have promised to give posthumous gifts to the heroes of the Chuang and Xian Second Battalions. If the orphans can be found, they will also be given adequate pensions." .What else are you dissatisfied with?”
Monk Fengtianyu said: "Are the only heroes in the world are the Third Prince, the Third Grandson and President Wu? What if other heroes invade Beijing before you do?"
"Can there be such a hero?" Wu Sangui looked disdainful.
Monk Fengtianyu smiled and said: "Whether we have a date is one thing, whether we have a date is another... What if we have a date?"
After hearing what he said, Zhu Heji felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said: "Then any hero in the world who first enters Beijing to drive out the Tartars can be the king!"
Wu Sangui also nodded: "Okay, let's do it!" He paused, "But before the common leader of the world appears, I can no longer use the name of the Ming Dynasty... I will switch to the name of the Zhou Dynasty. , but also to change Yuan Zhaowu!"
Zhu Heji knew that Wu Sangui had been the king of Zhou in history, so he asked: "President, do you want to be the king of Zhou?"
"No," Wu Sangui said, "I will be the president of the Zhou Kingdom!"
He has become a great president - when everyone says "president", they know it refers to Wu Sangui, so they can't change it easily.
"Father," Zhu Heji asked King Zhu Tian, "then what should we call him?"
"I am still the king of Ding," said King Zhu Tian, "but I will not be in charge of this country anymore. You will be the one to do it!"
This dad is filial!
As soon as King Zhu Tian said these words, Zhu Heji and Wu Yingxiong finally reached an agreement in their hearts.
Although Zhu Heji wanted to get Zhu's father's supervisory position in order to unite his name and reality, he only mentioned it in front of Zhou Yubing... It seems that Princess Kunxing has secretly communicated with Zhu's father. said.
And Mr. Zhu did not cling to the short-term supervision of the country, and handed it over at the most appropriate time.
With a father like this, what else can I ask for?
However, Zhu Heji still had to be polite, hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Father, the child is still young and cannot take on the responsibility of supervising the country."
Wu Yingxiong glanced at Wu Sangui - I'm not young!
King Zhu Tian laughed and said: "You are no longer young...you are already a saint!
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's resurgence depends entirely on your conquests and management. As a father, you are just sitting back and enjoying the results. In the future, I will be a supreme emperor and enjoy all the wealth and glory. I am already satisfied. How can I be the founding king of the new Ming Dynasty? Besides, our new Ming Dynasty is different from the old Ming Dynasty. It is based on the people, the ruler is more important, and the country is secondary... Such a ruler is boring, and I won't do it! Son, please stop refusing. The heroes of the world bear witness, from now on, my son and I will be the supervisors of the Ming Dynasty! "
Zhu Heji no longer pretended to give in, so he stood up and bowed to King Zhu Tian: "I respectfully accept the order!"
At this time, Wu Yingxiong could only look at the indifferent Wu Sangui... In fact, it was not that he thought his father was unfilial, but that Wu Yingqi was becoming more and more powerful!
Wu Yingqi is just like a little Wu Sangui, he can hit and rush, and there is also a "little Wu Sangui" Wu Shicong... This "Wu Shimin" is even buying one and getting one free!
