In just an instant, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong's confidence returned to him.
He immediately issued an order to the other four towns to send troops to quell the rebellion and suppress the rebels.
Emperor Zhu Yousong of Hongguang looked at the ministers below and gradually calmed down. He cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said loudly,""Lead the troops of Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo from the four towns of Jiangbei to Shandong to exterminate Prince Heng!”
After saying that, Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong changed the topic and looked at the ministers.""Which beloved minister is willing to come and read the decree?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers who were still discussing immediately returned to silence. They stood motionless in their spots, as if they had not heard Zhu You Song's words.
Seeing this, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong was instantly enraged. He could only look at Ma Shiying helplessly,""Ma Shiying, do you have anyone in mind?"
Ma Shiying, who was the Minister of War and also the Minister of War, said indifferently,""Just send a cavalry to read out the decree. With His Majesty's decree, who in the four towns of Jiangbei would dare to disobey?”
Obviously, Ma Shiying didn't even want to accept Emperor Hongguang's blame.
At the same time, in order to prevent Emperor Hong Guang from thinking that he was shirking, Ma Shiying even flattered him.
The hall fell silent. Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song looked at his ministers speechlessly. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged!
He was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and now that he was looking for someone to go on a business trip, no one was willing to go!
After a long time, he slowly nodded.”
"As long as they exterminate the traitor Prince Heng, I will reward them generously!”
Emperor Zhu Yousong stood up abruptly and left the hall.
Seeing this, the eunuch in charge immediately shouted sharply,"Retreat!"
The ministers bowed their heads and shouted long live.
The three teams also left the Ying Tian Prefecture and headed to the four towns in the north of the river to announce the decree.
Shouzhou.
Liu Liangzuo looked at the decree expressionlessly and said calmly,""There have been small groups of Eight Banners attacking Shouzhou recently. Soon, there will be Eight Banners marching. I am temporarily unable to divide my troops.”
After inviting the tiqi away in a friendly manner, Liu Liangzuo immediately let out a cold laugh.
Go to Shandong and exterminate the rebels of King Heng?
Do you really think that you are the original Ming Emperor?
Besides, Prince Heng's army is at its peak now.
Moreover, you don't even have the salary to send out the army. You want me to fight for you with empty words? Do you think you're Chongzhen?
Looking at the great country in front of him, Liu Liangzuo's ambition was aroused. He carefully looked at the words 'Prince Heng' on the imperial decree.
In this world, you can't always sit with people with the surname Zhu, right?
Zhenzhou (Yizheng).
Huang Degong helplessly spread his hands and said,"I only have these soldiers of the New Missions under my command. Their weapons and equipment are not complete, and even their rations are not enough. Go back and tell the Imperial Court that it is better to first distribute the military pay and rations that we owe.”
"After my troops have eaten and drunk their fill, we will head to the east of the mountain to eliminate the traitor King Heng.”
The tiqi who had been sent to read the decree naturally didn't dare to say a word. They could only nod and report to Ying Tian.
Watching the tiqi gallop away, Huang Degong looked in Ying Tian's direction with contempt.
Guazhou.
Gao Jie squatted on the ground, holding his boss 'bowl and stuffing noodles into it. He didn't mention a word about the imperial edict, but kept calling for the tiqi to eat with him.
As a veteran who had once been a bandit in his hometown, Mizhi, who had no choice but to become a bandit, and then joined the imperial court, and now entered Nanming again, Gao Jie only believed in the strength in his hands.
As for the imperial court, he didn't care about it at all.
If Prince Heng was weak, he wouldn't mind going up to him.
But now that Liu Zeqing had already been defeated, he would only step into that fire pit if he was blinded by oil.
Watching Tiqi stuff a bowl of noodles into his stomach, Gao Jie laughed and said,""Go back and tell the Imperial Court that the army under my command is not strong enough to take on the rebel King Heng. Please select another general to take down the rebel.”
"I, Gao Jie, failed to defeat the rebels, but it's more than enough to defend Guazhou.”
Tiqi nodded, rubbed his stomach, and slowly left.
When Gao Jie and the other two's intentions were conveyed, Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song immediately flew into a rage."A group of proud soldiers! I'm so angry!"
Then, fear rose in his heart again.
If he didn't go to the three towns, would he still be able to mobilize them to stop King Heng if he sent his army south?
If he couldn't mobilize the three towns, how could he mobilize Zuo Liangyu?
For a moment, Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song was terrified and lost his mind.
Is my Ming Dynasty going to perish in the end?
Zhu Youjian, you really hurt me!
After a long time, when the wind hit his face, Emperor Zhu You Song finally came back to his senses. He looked at the eunuch beside him and said,""Get Shi Kefa to see me."
Not long after, Shi Kefa, the East Pavilion Grand Scholar and Minister of Rites, rushed over.
"Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?”
Shi Kefa asked as soon as he entered the royal study.
At this moment, Shi Kefa, who had been pushed out of the core of the Yingtian Imperial Court, would soon head to Huaiyang to supervise the army.
Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong slowly stood up and looked at Shi Kefa.""Now that the three towns refuse to go, Zuo Liangyu has always been obedient.”
"If King Heng goes south to Ying Tian, what should I do?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yousong obviously had no hope for the future.
He didn't have a single soldier in his hands and had no military authority. If that day really came, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to, right?
He looked at Shi Kefa with a defeated expression.
Shi Kefa cupped his hands slightly at Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Hongguang. In just a moment, he had already thought of a countermeasure. He said calmly,"Your Majesty, King Heng was only fighting against the Eight Banners Army, he didn't rebel.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song's eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty only needs to issue an edict for King Heng to be in charge of military and political affairs in Shandong, Huai 'an, and other places. I think King Heng will gladly accept it.”
"At that time, both sides will be safe and our Great Ming's confidence in resisting the Qing army will increase.”
Shi Kefa lowered his head and slowly voiced out his suggestion.
Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shi Kefa's hands. He said anxiously,""Is that possible?"
Shi Kefa nodded slowly.”
"King Heng raised his flag to fight against the Eight Banners. If Liu Zeqing didn't take a fancy to Shandong and slander him as a traitor, and then impatiently sent troops to attack Shandong first, how could King Heng take Huai 'an City?”
At this point, Shi Kefa raised his head and looked at Zhu Yousong's frightened face. He hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said,"Your Majesty, the imperial clan is the most reliable for you now!”
"After all, your surname is Zhu!”
"With King Heng's strength, you can be as stable as a mountain in Ying Tian!”
Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song was shocked when he heard this. He quickly retreated and looked at Shi Kefa in disbelief.
All surnamed Zhu!
Then he, Prince Heng, Zhu Youyou, could also become the emperor!
Hongguang Emperor Zhu You Song's eyes were filled with killing intent, but it quickly dissipated.
