At night, in the study of Jiang Yueguang, the head of the household.

A middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt handed Jiang Yueguang a small, beautifully carved box. Jiang Yueguang opened the box and took a look, his face was shocked, and then he quickly closed it.

"Lord Shangshu, you must fight for more military salaries for our Zuo Marshal in the future, don't be less than half like in the past few months, our Zuo Dashuai will be very disappointed, and the army will also be unable to resist the thieves advancing south because of the lack of military salaries, once the thieves from Henan break through the Hubei Yangtze River moat, don't say that our marshal is not guaranteed, and the court will also have a big disaster." The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt said in a half-pleading tone, with a low tone and a flattering meaning.

Jiang Yueguang nodded and said: "Please rest assured, for the sake of this thing, the old man will naturally try his best to fight for your Zuo Dashuai, but you also know that last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to gather troops from all walks of life to exterminate Liu Liangzuo, but your eldest marshal said that he was sick and did not come, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very dissatisfied with this, even if the old man speaks, he does not dare to guarantee how much military spending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can promise to allocate to you Zuo Dashuai this time." ”

If it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's sincerity, Jiang Yueguang wouldn't want to risk angering Zhu Cihong to talk about the military salary of Zuo Liangyu's army in the next few months.

Hearing Jiang Yueguang say this, the middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt showed anxiety: "The little one has asked the adults on behalf of our Zuo Dashuai, the adults must do their best, and the military expenses in the next few months must not be less than the previous months, otherwise the villain is really worried that the army will mutiny." ”

The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt paused and continued: "If Lord Shangshu can win a full amount of military salary for our Zuo Dashuai, our Zuo Dashuai will definitely have a heavy gift to thank you. Speaking of this, the middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt quietly pointed to the box he had given to Jiang Yueguang just now: "Don't hide it from your lord, our Zuo Dashuai said that this thing is just a small gift, and our Dashuai has also prepared a bigger gift, as long as the military salary arrives, our Dashuai will immediately order the villain to send it to the adult." ”

Jiang Yueguang looked surprised, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, good, you Zuo Dashuai is really heartfelt, you are so sincere, don't worry, even if Lord Ben is angry with His Royal Highness the Prince, he will definitely try his best to help you Dashuai Zuo, Lord Ben dare not say that he can get a full amount of military salary for your Dashuai Zuo, at least there is no problem with seven or eight times out of ten." ”

Jiang Yueguang was indeed surprised, the gift just now was already worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if there was a bigger gift, if the two gifts were added together, wouldn't there be more than 100,000 taels of silver. Zuo Liangyu is so sincere, how could Jiang Yueguang not try his best to help.

"I'm tired of the adults, and the villains will retire first." After the middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt saluted Jiang Yueguang, he withdrew from Jiang Yueguang's study.

Out of Jiang Yueguang's study, the middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was disdainful, if it weren't for the sake of the army's salary, their Zuo Dashuai would not have taken this remnant Ming regime that had not yet been established in his eyes.

If there is a big chaos today, Chongzhen is dead, Li Zicheng is called the emperor, Zhang Xianzhong is also called the emperor, there is also a Qing emperor outside the pass, there are so many emperors in the world, the incompetence of the Ming Dynasty can be seen in the hearts of the people, such an incompetent court, why should they have hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in their hands, and they should have condescended to an incompetent remnant who has not yet been established.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt smiled coldly, before he came to Nanjing this time, they Zuo Dashuai had already decided, as long as the military funds allocated by the imperial court this year arrived in Wuchang, Zuo Dashuai would lead hundreds of thousands of troops to erect flags to revolt, overthrow the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and become the emperor himself.

Although Zuo Liangyu clearly only has an army of 200,000, he has secretly expanded the army to more than 300,000, more than Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and he was originally born in a rogue, Zhang Xianzhong has been called the emperor, Zuo Liangyu's ambition is not smaller than Zhang Xianzhong, and he naturally wants to be the emperor himself.

--------------

The time soon came to the day when Zhu Cihong ascended the throne and became the emperor, the Ming Dynasty was about to stand, and the people of Nanjing City were beaming with joy and excitement, looking forward to whether the new emperor would be able to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, just like the Guangwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

It was made earlier than the previous dynasty, and Zhu Cihong was called up to prepare before dawn, and there were many etiquettes for enthronement, and he had to be busy on this day.

Zhu Cihong's dragon robe is added, and the bright yellow dragon robe is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon that symbolizes the supreme imperial power, powerful and domineering, although Zhu Cihong is only fifteen years old, but under the support of the five-clawed golden dragon, people still dare not look directly and are afraid.

Then began the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky was carried out for more than two hours, followed by the promulgation of the edict of Emperor Chongzhen, the jade seal of the country, and finally the amnesty of the world, and the worship of hundreds of officials.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole country celebrated, the whole world was happy, and the world was amnesty, in order to show that God has the virtue of a good life--------- "After the holy decree of amnesty for the world, the hundred officials came forward to worship again.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hundreds of officials bowed, all the guards who were guarding around bowed, and the sound of long live resounded in the sky.

Zhu Cihong's heart is surging, and he is arrogant, from today he is the rightful master of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Qing Bing, let's take a look at the Ming Dynasty with me Zhu Cihong, who of us can have the last laugh.

Empress Zhou accompanied Zhu Cihong to stand together, and after Zhu Cihong accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, Empress Zhou was officially promoted to the queen mother, and also accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.

Looking at her son, Empress Zhou thought of Emperor Chongzhen, and for a while she felt a little miscellaneous in her heart, and couldn't help but take Zhu Cihong's hand and instructed: "Emperor, from today on, you will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you must love the people with a new policy, listen to the good words of the ministers, and don't be like your father, lose the capital and ----."

Empress Zhou's eyes were full of tears, in the end, she and Chongzhen had been husband and wife for more than ten years, and the relationship was there, and when she thought of Emperor Chongzhen's fate, she couldn't help crying, and she felt uncomfortable.

"The queen mother can rest assured, since the sons dare to use the word 'Zhongxing', one day they will definitely be able to calm the world, Zhongxing Daming!" Zhu Cihong is extremely confident, Jiangnan is rich and has a large population, and with this as capital, he does not believe in fighting Li Zicheng and Dolgon.

The new emperor ascended the throne, up and down the city of Nanjing, all the people seemed to have re-found the backbone, and most of the people were beaming with joy on their faces, looking forward to the new emperor will be a holy emperor in the future, and he can prosper the Ming Dynasty and bring them a stable and happy life.

In Cangzhou City, Liu Zongmin led an army of 80,000 to capture Cangzhou, and he heard that Zhu Cihong officially ascended the throne today as the Ming Emperor, and the emperor name used was still the word 'Zhongxing'.

"Hey, hey!" Liu Zongmin smiled coldly: "Zhu Cihong is quite ambitious, he even dares to use the word Zhongxing, and he is not afraid that the Ming Dynasty will lose his life if he can't afford these two words, hmph, when Lao Tzu's army is killed in Jiangnan, I will immediately send you to see the old emperor Chongzhen, so that your father and son can reunite with the king of Hades." ”

"Herald! Speed up the march, you must enter Shandong before dark, and two days later Lao Tzu will lead all the soldiers to hold a banquet in Jinan Mansion to celebrate! Liu Zongmin said loudly to the herald.

Looking at the three huge red-clothed cannons not far behind him, Liu Zongmin was extremely confident, with such a sharp weapon, Jining Mansion would definitely be like paper paste, and as soon as the army arrived, it would be broken in a few days.

In order to attack Shandong, Li Zicheng transferred three to Liu Zongmin, and the other few were to be surrendered by Wu Sangui, and then followed his army south to sweep the south of the Yangtze River and destroy Zhu Cihong's remnants.
