Chapter 650: Enthronement, Situation

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, in the city of Nanjing, it was a good day for Emperor Hongguang to ascend the throne. Fastest updates

The bells and drums are ringing in unison.

"On the filial piety clothes, set up wine and fruit to teach the emperor a few feasts ago, only to be ordered. That is, in front of the Fengtian Palace, set up incense cases, wine and fruits, and other things, and crowned clothes to tell heaven and earth. Go to the Fengxian Hall to tell the ancestors. There is still a crown, a few feasts before the emperor's feast, five bows and three kowtows. End. After the mother came forward, bowed five times and kowtowed three times.

End. Enthroned in the Heavenly Temple. It's morning, bells and drums. Jinyi Wei set up a halogen book. Serve the crown, and cover the palace. The civil and military officials have their own court clothes, enter the Danqi, and wait for the Honglu Temple to lead the deacons into the Huagai Hall to pay their respects. Praise for the service. Please ascend to the temple. Ascend to the throne through the middle gate. The brocade guard whipped his whip. Hundreds of civil and military officials congratulated them.

Hundreds of officials are exempt from congratulations. Exemption form. Stop prostrating five times and prostrating three times.

[Hundreds of officials are exempted] Hundreds of officials went out to Chengtian Gate. The official edict of the Hanlin Academy is treasured. The official of Honglu Temple asked for the edict of the Hanlin Academy, and the official of the Ministry of Rites and Rites. Go out from the left door of the Fengtian Temple. The brocade guards are in front of the noon gate, waiting for the edict to be placed in the cloud cover. ”

The various scenery and glory of the new emperor when he ascended the throne stipulated in the Ming Dynasty Ceremony, Zhu Yousong experienced them one by one. He also experienced it not only for himself, but also for a little bit of the way of the son of man, for the Fu King, who was favored by Emperor Wanli back then, but had no chance with the throne.

"When the Central Plains is leveled and the atmosphere is cleared, I will also be like Emperor Sejong back then, and fight for my father's righteous name! Blasted out the demon woman Li who was unclear with Zhang Juzheng back then from the temple! Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong gritted his teeth and swore secretly.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun wanted to appoint his third son, Fuwang Zhu Changxun, as the crown prince, but was opposed by the Empress Dowager Li and the courtiers. This filial piety, chastity, purity, Qinren, Duan, Su Bi, Tianzuo, and the Holy Empress Dowager were even more stern, and drove King Fu out of Beijing neatly.

How can such hatred not be deeply engraved in the bones of Zhu Changxun's family?

"Humph! What do you say that my imperial grandmother came from a humble background, and this Li family demon woman is from a high-ranking family? It's just a palace maid! ”

"It's the day, early in the morning, send the official to the Heaven and Earth Sect. The emperor has a few feasts of filial piety (a table with sacrifices, and a tablet of the first emperor and the gods is listed in front). ”

"When the time comes, the bells and drums will be sounded, and the emperor will obey the gate of heaven."

The officials who had been waiting in front of the Fengtian Gate for a long time were all dressed in court clothes, and under the guidance of the officials of the Honglu Temple, they crossed the Jinshui Bridge into the Forbidden City. However, at this time, they were not allowed to enter the "Fengtian Temple", because the emperor was still praying at the Fengtian Gate, so the ministers could only stay in the square outside the noon gate. They knelt on both sides of the imperial road in the manner of "Wendong Wuxi", and waited for the emperor to communicate with the gods and goddesses from all walks of life and descended from the "Fengtian Gate".

Today, unlike the ascension of the Son of Heaven to the throne of the previous dynasties, there are many people from foreign domains. The black pressure and colorful Fanbangyi people occupy a large area outside the Fengtian Gate. The bells and whistles of clothing, all kinds of skin tones and hair colors, are dazzling. Each of the foreign vassal missions of the Fan State was dressed in a newly made robe, holding the offering in their hands, and their faces were respectful and happy.

These people are the Sifangyi people summoned by Li Shouhan. In order to create a grand atmosphere for the coming of all nations at a celebration like today's. In addition to the treasures in the hands of the main and deputy envoys, all kinds of auspicious things also dazzled the courtiers, nobles, eunuchs, and soldiers.

The giraffe known as the unicorn, the zebra named Hua Fulu by the eunuch Zheng He of the Three Treasures, and the big lizard that was characterized by Li Peiting as the legendary Jiao, the huge turtle, the flaming flamingo, and the huge parrot from the land of Yin Shang all make people suddenly have a feeling that all countries are coming to court during the Yongle period.

The unicorn, phoenix, turtle, and dragon belong to the four spirit beasts in the consciousness of the Chinese. As long as there is an era and place where these four kinds of rui beasts appear, it must be that the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and the five grains are abundant and the six animals are prosperous, and the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe.

When the envoys of the foreign domain, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, presented the unicorn, Jiao and other animals to Emperor Hongguang in turn, the atmosphere in front of the palace reached **.

"A unicorn from the sky! ZTE Daming! ”

"A unicorn from the sky! ZTE Daming! ”

At first, just a few soldiers and officials chanted there, and then there was a tsunami of slogans, and people waved their arms and shouted rhythmically, wave after wave.

"The unicorn came to the world, changed the law and rejuvenated the country!"

"The unicorn came to the world, changed the law and rejuvenated the country!"

The slogan in front of it also made many people in the official queue quite excited, twisting their beards very approvingly, and some people had to raise their arms and chant and make a gesture. However, when the slogan of changing the law and rejuvenating the country sounded, the faces of these people suddenly changed drastically.

ZTE Daming is naturally possible. The Ming Dynasty has that day of prosperity, and these people are naturally meritorious men who have left their names in history. In the future, there will be spots and spots in the history books on the genealogy, and future generations will have to praise it. However, this change of law to rejuvenate the country was very disgusting to them.

"If Sun Baigu hadn't implemented the new policy in Shaanxi that day, which was used to raise money and train soldiers, I don't think the fortune of the country would have collapsed to such an extent!" Qian Qianyi is really a Tianqiao star, and he turned the result into the reason. He didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for the officials and gentry in Shaanxi who used various means to force Sun Chuanting to go out of Tongguan and fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng's army, then Jiangshan Sheji in Jiangbei would still have the surname Zhu.

"A bunch of ordinary people! Know what?! ”

However, the person surnamed Zhu, who just came to power, is also like these ordinary people, and he can't stand on the same height as Qian Qianyi and Qian adults to look at the problem and analyze the situation. Hearing the slogan that is no less than the tsunami of the mountain, and seeing those auspicious beasts that can only be found in history books and legends, it is suddenly a dragon's face and joy.

As a result, several new rules and regulations were promulgated from the emperor's mouth after the new emperor's customary decrees such as canonization, sealing, reward, and amnesty after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Nothing else. It's just that the officials present were shocked to hear such orders as "clear the land and strictly implement the preferential and exemption rules of Emperor Sejong", "all ministries will check the troops and horses, check the strength, and prepare to go north".

These two holy decrees were promulgated by Emperor Hongguang, who had already ascended the throne, and the so-called words and laws followed. Even when the cabinet is at its strongest, it is impossible to say that it will immediately refute and refuse to carry it out. After all, even if the emperor is a puppet and a "hypocrisy", his authority and legitimacy are unchallengeable, even if you are Cao Cao or Shi Miyuan, you can kill the prince, the clan, and the concubine, but the emperor himself must be respectful.

However, if these two wills are to be carried out conscientiously, it should not be said that they are seriously implemented, even if they have been implemented for a year and a half, everyone will take a step back and reach a tacit understanding, so that this practice will end without a problem. That's also going to make all of us suffer huge losses!

Those tax collectors who have the support of the general, Liang Guogong and the hundreds of thousands of Nanyue troops under his command will come to the door to collect taxes with a big cart with an abacus, according to the Jiajing preferential exemption rule, starting from the Wanli period, and not starting from the Wanli period, starting from the first year of Chongzhen to recover the arrears of money and grain, think about such a terrible scene, and at this time it has become famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and can treat children's crying at night and urine kang "Row guns and wash the ground and check the white land". The civil officials and dignitaries present all shuddered.

Similarly, the officers leading the troops were also terrified.

The general soldiers and deputy generals of Jiangnan and Jiangbei have already received the power of the system of issuing military salaries to the Southern Guangdong Army.

According to the Ming system, the local government would only supply grain and grass after the army had been stationed for three days. If you don't have enough forage with you, then, sorry, you'll have to tighten your belt and carry it on your own during this time. Or ask the local officials for food. However, with the virtue of an official in the late Ming Dynasty, even if you are Lu Xiangsheng, you will not give you grain and grass if you should not be given food. Then, the hungry and cold and increasingly aggressive army will be pushed to the other extreme from top to bottom. That is to harass local arsonists and plunder.

If you don't give me food and grass, then I will have to raise food by myself.

In contrast, the food and salary system of the Nanyue Army was much kinder.

In peacetime, there are sitting rations stationed in the garrison, and there are rations for marching and defending. The food standards of the soldiers are stipulated, and it is clear how much oil, salt, rice and grain should be in the daily area, and it is even refined to the point of a few catties of firewood and a few dollars of oil. Even mules and horses are divided into war horses, pack horses, and pull horses, and they have different supplies of bean feed and salt, and it is stipulated how much forage each mule and horse has per day.

In addition to the expenses incurred in the army, such as firewood, charcoal, oil, salt, office paper, lamp oil, and horseshoe, there is also an office fund for the chief officers at all levels, ranging from a few tens of yuan to several thousand yuan. In order to give them living money in their hands. It doesn't matter if you use it to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, or add food to the soldiers.

However, all of this is based on verifying the strength of your soldiers!

Before the military salaries are paid, the most important and headache for the military leaders is to check the soldiers and horses.

You said you had a number of soldiers and a number of horses. All right! The quartermaster, the military officer, with someone to give you a few days' notice to come to your army for a check-in. Check the number of soldiers and horses. You won't even have time to catch a strong man.

As a result, the number of records in the troop book immediately went to a large block, and at least three out of ten stops went to it. This is not the end, and then it is necessary to check them one by one in the army. Check the names, ages, buckets, and so on of the soldiers. As a result, half of the remaining soldiers and horses were gone. Those nearby villagers who were temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers showed their original forms under the sharp eyes of the inspectors.

After some tossing, the number of soldiers and deputy generals who were registered on the military register with 10,000 soldiers and horses was at most less than 3,000 soldiers.

Such a thunderous method also cut off the financial route of countless military officers in Jiangnan and Jiangbei! However, under the surveillance, under the surveillance, the elite troops of the surrounding Nanyue Army, and under the threat of gunboats cruising back and forth on the river, these officers could only secretly swallow this evil breath into their stomachs.

However, when the holy decree of Emperor Hongguang was promulgated in Jiangbei after his accession to the throne, several lords in the four towns of Jiangbei were very unimpressed with the strength of the inventory of soldiers.

"Lao Tzu has a lot of soldiers here! You let them look it up! "This is Liu Liangzuo.

"Damn! Isn't it just that Li Shouhan is trying to save some military salaries and rations! If his shogunate dares to deduct a penny and a grain of rice, you let him try! It was Liu Zeqing who said this.

As for Gao Jie and Huang Degong, they also have their own confidants.

However, the Zuo Liangyu Department of Pingthief Town, which was far away in Jiujiang, did not react too much to this, but was a little cheering, waiting for the inspector to come to the army for inspection. The reason is also very simple, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses have been exceeding his establishment several times for many years. Most of them came by forcibly pulling strong men, coercing them into the army, recruiting rebels, and annexing other departments.

"As long as they check, Lao Tzu guarantees that there is no shortage of more than one person and one horse! However, the food, ordnance, and armor of his old Li family must also be replenished to us according to the actual number of people! Otherwise, you donkey ball, don't be this general! This is what Zuo Liangyu's adopted son Zuo Mengeng said after drinking at a banquet.

This banquet was set up for Zuo Liangyu's old chief, the son of Engong, on behalf of the Jiangnan gentry who came to Jiujiang with a large amount of grain, money, and grain. Thanks to the gift of the eldest prince of Hou Fangyu, Zuo Liangyujun, who was originally trapped in a corner of Jiujiang, has been helped by a large amount of food and salary, and has been given a period of respite and recovery.

Relying on this batch of food, Zuo Liangyu not only let the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains who came from all directions like ants to be fed and clothed, but also had military salaries in their pockets. It also captured almost all the men in the Jiujiang area into the army. (At this point, Zuo Liangyu, the boasted Nantian Pillar stone-like figure, is like many ** generals, in order to replenish his troops, he went all the way to catch strong men.) Basically, everywhere you go, there are countless widows' villages and women's villages. In the 80s, our country's first children's film "Widow's Village" was filmed based on the great achievements of ** in the coastal areas of Fujian. By the way, there is a similar thing on Nanri Island, where there is no virgin for three days. It is also a great feat established on the island of Nanri. So, why the militia on the coast of Fujian is so strong, and legend has it that even the SEALs can't bargain for anything, the reason can be seen. Those friends who are looking forward to boasting about their best achievements, think about whether they are willing to be strong men or willing to be dragged to the labor army by the women in their own family? )

(And Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Rommel's mentor and Patton's gentleman in the field of armored forces, who was touted by countless fruit fans (is his surname Jiang or Dai?) In the **** book compiled in 1993, more than two-thirds of the large number of pages were used to teach the ** soldiers who landed how to rape mainland women. Not only can this kind of instigator act be compiled into an official work, but it is also called "rape and bandit are a blow to the morale of the mainland." It's 1993!

I wonder if the cross talk of the cow herd Feng Gong in the Spring Festival Gala, the famous "leader, colon" was inspired by this masterpiece of the second son of Weiguo, and he could have such a great excuse to do such a shameless and indiscriminate anti-human thing, and he was also convinced. )

Today's Pingthief Town, under the leadership of Ningnan Hou Zuo Liangyu, is gradually recovering the previous situation of Zhuxian Town, with no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and it is also quite elite. Relying on the food and salary brought by Hou Gongzi and the looting in Jiujiang and other places, at least, Hou Zuo Liangyu in Ningnan did not have to worry about military salary for three months. As for saying three months later, hehe!

"Now the Great Qing Dynasty Prince Azig led the Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers to attack the thieves' lair from outside the Great Wall to northern Shaanxi, where Yulin and other places were originally where loyal and righteous people gathered. As long as Azig breaks the entrance of the side wall, Yulin, Mizhi and other places are bound to rise up one after another. At that time, the old nest of the Li thief will be lost, and the ancestral mausoleum will be located, and the army will inevitably be in turmoil. On this side of Henan, it is the hundreds of thousands of troops of Prince Yu Duoduo and the more than 100,000 troops of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and the Ming army and horses. ”

At that time, Hou Yehu was upstream, raised troops to cross the river to the north, defeated Tian Jianxiu and other bandit leaders in one fell swoop, and recovered the land of fish and rice in the land of Jianghan. For me to make the first immortal contribution to the rise of the Ming Dynasty! ”

After a few glasses of wine, Hou Fangyu changed his style of self-appreciating poetry and literature in the past, and stood in the middle of the court and began to guide the country and analyze the general trend of the world.

The current situation in the Central Plains and the evolution of the war situation are indeed unfavorable to Li Zicheng's Dashun army.

Since Li Huayu died unexpectedly in battle, Zhang Linghu, Wu Fengxian and others led the people to mutiny against the water, and the officials and gentry in Shandong have erected rebel flags to kill and slaughter the officials of the Nanyue Army, and the whole Shandong was quickly occupied by the Qing army led by Abatai and Wang Ke master and slave. Fan Xiaozeng and others had to lead their troops to retreat to Lunan and Denglai areas. The eastern route between the Nanyue Army and Li Zicheng's Dashun Army was cut off.

The Dashun army, which had lost the friendly barrier on the east road, suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Facing the more than 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers and nearly 100,000 Shandong rebels in Abatai in the east, nearly 300,000 Qing troops in Duoduo on the front, and nearly 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers and Mongolian tribesmen in Azig on the west road, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Yanniu and Jin Xing couldn't help but miss the good times when Li Huayu was alive and the east road was safe and sound. Not only do you not have to worry about your own flanks, but a large number of supplies can also be smoothly transported to Kaifeng City through the Yellow River and canals.

But now, these are the flowers of yesterday. Who is to blame? At the beginning, when Li Huayu, Cao Zhenyan, and Duoduo fought one Buddha and two Buddhas, Liu Zongmin did not move, waiting and watching.

And the regent Dorgon, who was far away in Beijing, also knew that this recent period was the most rare time window for his Qing Dynasty. Shandong has fallen into the hands of the Qing army, Li Huayu died in battle, his Shandong soldiers and horses were greatly injured, and they had to rest and recuperate for a period of time before they could fight again. And his old opponent, Li Shouhan, the commander of the Nanyue Army, has to devote a lot of energy to various affairs for Emperor Hongguang's accession to the throne, and the Nanyue Army will not make major moves for the time being.

At this time, if you don't concentrate on the troops, beat Li Zicheng, drive him across the Yellow River, or even drive him to the Huai River and the Yangtze River basin, when will you wait?

As a result, the great battles between the Dashun army and the Qing army were staged repeatedly.
