    Here in Zhenjiang, Hao Fenglou was in a very agitated mood, and the war was not progressing. Although the military situation from Jiangxi was smooth, and the Langshan Army had surrounded Nanchang, the resistance of the Ming Army there was also very fierce. On the Zhejiang front line, progress was very fast.  , which greatly exceeded Hao Fenglou's expectation.  In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that the Langshan Army moved hand in hand with Zhejiang by water routes, all the way from Fujian. Although there were only tens of thousands of people, this was not a place where the imperial court focused on guarding after all. There were also naval forces on the other side.  Zhoushan attacked Ningbo and contained it. However, in Zhejiang, the folk customs are not actually conservative, and the acceptance of Chen Xue is not low. This is mainly because the people in Zhejiang are similar to the people in Fujian. There are many places there with mountains and many mountains.  In mountainous areas, it is impossible to cultivate land, which will cause the whole family to starve to death, so many people have to go out of the countryside to make a living, and the best way to make a living is to do business. Therefore, there are many merchants in Zhejiang, although many  It's a small fight, and some are even just peddlers carrying a load from door to door, but the atmosphere is relatively open.  In addition, the land there is most suitable for growing mulberry, and the purpose of growing mulberry is to produce silk. A lot of silk from Zhejiang is supplied to Lang Son. In the past, private ships were used to transport the silk to the sea and Lang Son.  The workshop owners traded, and later the sea ban was lifted. The demand in Lang Son was even greater, so that mulberry cultivation became popular here. This also indirectly caused many people here to be in the downstream industry of Lang Son. When the war broke out, many people were unable to produce silk.  With the market open, many people are facing the risk of bankruptcy. These people are eager for the Lang Son Army to arrive and make up for their losses.  So the resistance here is not fierce.  In fact, except for the Gyeonggi area.  The biggest dilemma for the Lang Son Army's advance did not actually come from the official army.  These officers and soldiers are often not strong in combat effectiveness and are guest troops.  Without the desire to protect the family, once the Lang Son army attacks forcefully, it will not take long for them to collapse.  On the contrary, the sharpest ones are the local organized civilian warriors. These people are all locals and organized by some gentry families. They are familiar with geography and can bring a lot of trouble to the Lang Son Army.  There is no soil in Zhejiang for the gentry to organize manpower to resist, and as for the officers and soldiers of each guard, they are almost vulnerable to a blow.  Therefore, under the offensive of tens of thousands of Lang Son troops, the resistance here quickly collapsed.  The real tough nut to crack is the enemies in Hunan and Jiangxi, and even some battlefields, which require repeated tug-of-war to finally stabilize.  Hao Fenglou has been thinking about attacking Jinling. If we fight on all fronts and slowly encroach on it, we don¡¯t know how long or how long this war will last. War requires dead people.  It also relies on countless supplies. Even if Lang Son has a lot of money, it will be difficult to sustain such a loss.  It¡¯s just that Jinling rarely reveals flaws, even if there are occasional weak points.  However, facing the 500,000 elite Ming troops entrenched within a hundred miles of Jinling, Hao Fenglou did not dare to act rashly.  But Haofenglou couldn¡¯t leave and stayed here.  Giving Jinling enough threats can cut off Jinling's support for the Jiangxi and Hunan camps, putting them in a situation where they are fighting everywhere.  Therefore, Hao Fenglou's only option is to sit in Zhenjiang.  Although he did not put all his hopes on Xu Jingming, he was quite looking forward to Xu Jingming. No matter what, this guy might be able to bring him some hope.  And at this time, Xu Jingming¡¯s letter finally arrived.  There was no news from this guy for a long time. Hao Fenglou even suspected that he had become a domestic slave of the third surname. When he got the letter and opened it, Hao Fenglou frowned.  It seems that King Zhou doesn¡¯t dare to take risks.  If he doesn¡¯t take risks, he will sit back and wait for death, but for Hao Fenglou, it means there is no chance of fighting. He must wait here in vain. What should he do?  After thinking about it for a while, Hao Fenglou gradually came to understand him and decided to write a letter.  You know, in this era where communication basically relies on yelling and entertainment almost relies on piao, writing letters is, to a certain extent, one of Hao Fenglou's bad tastes. However, even in later generations, there are still many young men and women who have been able to communicate with each other.  Having pen pals is a pleasure, which shows that the Great Celestial Empire has a tradition of exchanging letters.  So in a short time, several letters were completed, one of which was for Empress Dowager Xu. No matter whether Empress Dowager Xu received it or not, this heartfelt message would always be sent. The content of the letters was roughly that I was shocked to hear the bad news about Jinling. I was originally worried about the empress.  , the empress regards Hao as a mountain of kindness, but she must take care of her body and never let her son miss her.  This son-in-law is simply the finishing touch. Hao Fenglou has now become the prince, but he still calls himself a son-in-law to Empress Dowager Xu. The meaning here is, to some extent, to recognize the legitimacy of Empress Dowager Xu and indirectly to recognize Emperor Yongle.  However, he never mentioned the current emperor, but directly called the vassal kings who were involved in the Jinling Incident on that day as thieves. This obviously meant that Hao Fenglou was the continuation of the authentic Emperor Yongle.  ??This matter, if you don¡¯t take it seriously, it means nothing, but once you take it seriously, the meaning revealed in it isIt¡¯s different. Haofenglou respects Empress Dowager Xu and recognizes Emperor Yongle. To a certain extent, it shows that this newly founded new dynasty is not necessarily incompatible with some people in Jinling. To put it bluntly, they are still willing to surrender and accept rebels, and even  It is to give some preferential treatment to some people.  But who gets preferential treatment?  This is another question.  Given that Empress Dowager Xu has lost power and is basically under house arrest, it is certainly impossible for this letter to be delivered to Empress Dowager Xu. However, Hao Fenglou can guarantee that His Highness the King of Zhou can see it. To put it bluntly, this is disgusting for Zhou.  King, or in other words, a certain degree of alienation. Hao Fenglou¡¯s move was obviously to test King Zhou¡¯s reaction. If King Zhou reacted violently and caused some commotion in Jinling, then Xu Jingming said in his letter  What he said was that the King of Zhou was being cautious, which was probably a misjudgment. But if he was calm and composed and regarded this letter as air, then this person would be much more difficult to deal with than Hao Fenglou imagined.  Hao Fenglou is not afraid of those people who make noises, but the only thing he is afraid of is the kind of guy who can't get enough of them.  The second letter was written to Huang Huai.  The letters were just simple greetings, and then recounted old friendships. Afterwards, Tu Qiongdeng met and told Huang Huai that if we meet again in the future, we will treat each other with courtesy.  Afterwards, the letters were sent out, and Hao Fenglou was in the camp, with his feet crossed, holding a tea cup and sighing. He was really looking forward to seeing his two letters thrown into the lake of Jinling.  A little ripple.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Two days later, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu arrived at the Longevity Palace with a letter.  His face was calm, and he just handed the letter to Queen Mother Xu and said: "Look, this is Hao Fenglou's letter. Madam, this is specially for you." Queen Mother Xu just took the letter in surprise, opened it immediately, and then sneered.  : "This is Hao Fenglou's plan to alienate people. Why, does King Zhou even believe in this little trick? The Ai family is the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty, how can she join in with the thieves." Zhu Xi looked at Queen Mother Xu, and then smiled,  Said: "I, of course, know the tricks of Hao Fenglou. This person has always been like this, the best at sowing discord. However, since the letter is for the empress, I am just forwarding it on my behalf." Empress Dowager Xu said lightly: "  Han and traitors are not at odds with each other." After that, he burned the letter with a candle and threw away the charcoal basin: "It's better to ignore these conspiracies, but I think your highness is afraid that it's not just about sending letters.  It's simple." Zhu Xi said with a smile: "My queen knows me, I just hope that my queen can reply with a letter." Empress Dowager Xu frowned: "It would be too frivolous to scold him in a letter." Zhu Xi shook his head.  : "No, I hope you will write a reply and be polite to him. It's best to reminisce about old friendships. Moreover, I also have some messages, and I hope your empress will bring them to you." Empress Dowager Xu was stunned: "What message?  " Zhu Li sighed and said: "This battle cannot be fought. It will really harm the peace of the world. Therefore, I hope that we can stop the army and negotiate for peace. However, it is not so easy to negotiate. The Hao family is a jackal. If you want to seek skin from a tiger, it is better to be careful.  I hope you will test his reaction. You don¡¯t have to make things too straightforward. You just need to tell him that if they are willing not to invade each other, then the imperial court is willing to rule the world with them and allow them to live alone in the south. " Empress Dowager Xu.  He shook his head and said sternly: "At this point, does His Highness think there is still room for maneuver?" Zhu Xi sat down on the chair in Wanshou Hall and sighed bitterly: "After fighting for so many years, I really can't bear to lose my soul again.  Well, your Majesty, now that things have come to pass, you should make one last effort for the sake of the people of the world and the country." Empress Dowager Xu looked at him deeply, and finally said quietly: "Lao Wu, you are indeed different from the late emperor.  "Zhu Ji smiled and said: "We are all born from the same parents, so what's the difference? In fact, I am tired of such tricks. Instead of fighting like this, it is better to do my best for the people of this world.  What do you think of the last effort?" Empress Dowager Xu responded: "Okay, the Ai family will reply now. Does King Zhou want to watch from the sidelines?" Zhu Xi shook his head: "That's not necessary. I can still trust my sister-in-law.  . Maybe you can say that this king is a benevolent woman, but I have read the classics and history for a long time, and I only know that Meng said Chengren and Confucius said righteousness. How can the common people in the world be harmed because of the quarrel between several families?  It¡¯s all flesh and blood.¡±¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ New book uploaded "Little Officials of the Tang Dynasty"  "People", I hope everyone will continue to support, the new month has begun, I hope you can also give some support to "The Young Master", please give me some guaranteed monthly tickets!  (To be continued) Chapter 927: A woman¡¯s kindness:
