After Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to leave, someone slowly came by the Luoyang River.

Three people.

A family of three, a young couple, brought a little loli to the place where Mei Yin and others committed suicide. Looking at the blood on the ground, they were silent.

The man's burly and heroic spirit is Tang Qingshan, a senior leader of the Ming Cult.

The woman is cool and is Tang Qingshan’s wife Zhang Lian.

What a little loli, it is naturally Tang Sai'er.

In order to save the dusk, Tang Qingshan brought his wife and children to Quanzhou on a business trip. Later, the government in Quanzhou wiped out Zhang Yang and others, and the news was full of war. Tang Qingshan thought it was targeting him, so he kept hiding with his wife and children and did not dare to come out.

Later, Mei Yin rebelled and defended against high-pressure pipes throughout Fujian, and Tang Qingshan couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

He had to hide from a place that no one could have imagined: Qingyuan Mountain.

If you have nothing to do, just chat with the old monk Zhang Dingbian to worship Buddha, and life will be pure.

Until the Battle of Fengting, Tang Qingshan knew that he had to leave Fujian quickly. Otherwise, when Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui took control of Fujian, the old officials of Jianwen who lost Fujian attracted their attention, Qingyuan Mountain would be liquidated sooner or later.

So he took his wife and children to leave.

I never wanted to witness this scene.

Standing by the river, Tang Qingshan was deeply touched and said to his wife Zhang Lian: "This civil strife is ultimately a struggle for power among the powerful families of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, Mei Yin gained very little people's hearts, so he was doomed to fail."

Zhang Lian nodded.

The husband said everything right.

Tang Qingshan said again: "So if our Ming Cult is to achieve great things, we must take root among the people. Only by gaining support from the people can we overthrow the rule of the Zhu family. Unfortunately, since Zhu Yuanzhang founded, our Ming Cult has been spoiled by Zhu Yuanzhang. Now the people support us is too little."

The little loli next to her tilted her head, "Dad, we can change our identities."

Tang Qingshan was stunned.

The little loli said with a hint, "Didn't your father have seen someone who escaped by chance in Quanzhou? I think we will join forces with the White Lotus Society in the future, or find a way to annex the White Lotus Society, which will bring a lot of people."

Tang Qingshan laughed and touched his daughter's head, "Dad can't get the magical and magical things in the White Lotus Society."

The little loli looked proud and arrogant, "I can do it."

Tang Qingshan and his wife looked at each other.

Only a bitter smile.

You are a little girl, you want to join forces with the White Lotus Society. But you know that the people in the White Lotus Society are all muddy and can't help but basically have to make small fuss.

It's not like our Ming Cult.

You are still young, maybe you don’t know that Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, and there are shadows of our Ming Cult.

Pulling Tang Sai'er, "Let's go."

The family of three walked away.

Tang Sai'er took a few steps, looked back, and a bright smile surged in her eyes. In the past or two years, she has met many people in Fujian and gained a lot of knowledge.

She had a lot of thoughts in her little mind.

Why should we, Ming Cult, be oppressed?

Why can we be bullied everywhere?

Why can't I, Tang Sai'er, walk openly on the long streets of the Ming Dynasty like in the dusk?

I want to fly.

Fly higher.

...

...

As soon as Mei Yin died, the Fujian rebels began to be defeated on a large scale. Although Lin Yuan was indeed very capable, he could not personally stop the general trend. Every day, soldiers who were afraid of death defected.

The side of Xu Huizu of the Piansheng issued an order: Anyone who leaves the rebels will return to the original garrison after the war is quelled, and will not be held accountable for the crime of being bewitched by Mei Yin.

So it became more and more out of control.

In less than a month, Lin Yuan's troops were defeated without fighting.

In the end, Lin Yuan and Sanqianerlang died in battle.

This made Zhu Gaosui gain a military merit for nothing.

The rebellion was settled like this.

When the news reached Yingtian, the people were inspired, and the court was filled with excitement, but the good times did not last long. Soon, news came from the north that after Mei Yin died, His Majesty did not train, but led the troops from Yumuchuan to take the initiative to attack the Tatars...

We must continue to fight.

This time, Yingtian Dynasty was sad again, especially the Minister of War Jin Zhong and the Minister of Revenue Yu Xin. One was worried about where to dispatch troops to reinforce His Majesty, and the other was worried about where to find money to support His Majesty in continuing the war.

When fighting, people and money are fighting.

So in the past two days, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting in the Ganqing Palace to supervise political affairs, was also worried.

Of course he was worried.

In fact, from the two things of suppressing the rebellion to the Western Expedition, Zhu Gaochi knew in his heart that this was the test of his father’s test for him: whether he could share the country.

Zhu Gaochi understood, and more importantly, someone analyzed it for him.

A minister named Yang.

Of course, the position of crown prince is still early, and these things are carried out in secret, so now, no one knows the relationship between the minister surnamed Yang and Zhu Gaochi.

In fact, during the Battle of Fengting, Zhu Gaochi was very hesitant.

He thought about deliberately letting the support of Zhu Gaoxu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas be slower for a few days, or letting Xu Huizu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Neng and others not divide the troops - there is no need to find a reason at all.

Because in that situation, it makes sense that no troops are divided to reinforce Zhu Gaoxu.

But the minister surnamed Yang said something.

He said, Your Majesty is watching.

Zhu Gaochi understood.

If he dares to give up Zhu Gaoxu, then his father will give up on him.

Besides, Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to harm his brothers and sisters in his heart, so he helped Zhu Gaoxu without hesitation and let him make a great contribution: and then he would bear the consequences himself.

The consequences are of course very serious.

Zhu Gaoxu has made this great contribution and has stronger capital on the road to becoming the crown prince.

There is no need to worry about this matter now.

What I worry about is how to increase troops in the north and how to send money and food to the north. I have to ensure that my father is happy in the north - compared with this, other things are nonsense.

If the father suffers a loss in the north and returns to Yingtian, he will say "You want me to die in the north and you, the eldest son, can you ascend the throne smoothly, right?" With just one sentence, the crown prince may be gone.

The key is that there is no money now and no one!

So Zhu Gaochi was very worried.

So at this moment, Zhu Gaochi really didn't know what to say about the two ministers, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, and Yu Xin, the Minister of Revenue, who was crying in the Ganqing Palace, and Zhu Gaochi, just asked: "Has Zhu Gaoxu indeed chased him to the sea?"

Jin Zhong sighed, "No, but how can I catch up with you? The Second Highness is a waste of money and doing useless work. With this skill, he might as well lead his troops to gallop north."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, "The third brother is still in Fujian. Zhu Neng, Xu Huizu, Zheng Heng and others still have troops under their command!"

Yu Xin said worriedly: "The situation in Fujian is unstable?"

Jin Zhong said, "This is a good idea. When the Second Prince goes to pursue Mei Shunchang, he will definitely return without success. When he comes back, he can just settle the situation in Fujian."

The implication is to use this matter to trap Zhu Gaoxu in Fujian first.

To avoid him coming back to cause trouble.

Zhu Gaochi nodded without a trace, "It's true."

Yu Xin stopped talking.

Everyone knows that this can indeed alleviate the dilemma of increasing troops in the north. The most important point is: to trap Zhu Gaoxu, for Zhu Gaochi, this is the most favorable decision.

But Yu Xin then said, "But the problem is that there is really no money."

The treasury has long been empty.

It is inevitable to issue additional treasure money.

Jin Zhong sighed: "So let Your Majesty withdraw his troops is the best choice."

Zhu Gaochi fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head, "So, let the third brother, Zhu Neng and Xu Huizu lead the troops north and issue additional treasure money at the same time, and solve the current dilemma first. As for the disadvantages of issuing additional treasure money, we will deal with it later. In addition, what Jin Shangshu said is reasonable and needs to think of a way to let Your Majesty have the idea of ​​voluntarily withdrawing troops, but at the moment, the person who can convince Your Majesty to withdraw troops is not Yingtian."

This person is in Shuntian Prefecture, Daoyan, well, no, now he should be called the Prince's Young Master Yao Guangxiao.

Yu Xin suddenly said, "Have you forgotten someone?"
