Chapter Twenty-Nine: The World Shakes

Nanjing, as one of the two capitals in the world, is also the capital of Great Xia, Nanjing fell, the news is not fast, almost within a few days, the wind spread all over the world, it seems that the distance has lost its meaning for a while.

The first to know was Luo Yulong.

The Qing army crossed the river on such a large scale, if Luo Yulong didn't know about it, he would be a fool. When he knew that something had happened in Nanjing, he only felt that his head was buzzing, that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't control it.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon." Yang Chengzu and the others immediately stepped forward to persuade him.

"What else do I care?" Luo Yulong said: "My father handed over the Great Xia Foundation to me, but in just a few years, it has become like this, what else do I have to take care of, and I deserve death." ”

Yang Chengzu said: "Your Majesty, things are still okay, Li Fuguo has already gone to see Zheng Guogong, and when Zheng Guogong marches eastward and recovers Nanjing, there will be a day of glory in Daxia." ”

Luo Yulong smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

But he understands very well that even if Zhang Xuan can recover Nanjing, where is his place in Great Xia? Luo Yulong, the emperor in the past few years, has not done many things in vain, and he can see many things clearly, and it is clear that the one who pays the least attention to family affection in the world is the royal family.

Although he is not sorry for Zhang Xuan, he has never been less secretly restricted. And Zhang Xuan is now on the rise. Can you let him go? Even if he can be let go, can the people below Zhang Xuan let him go? Zhu Yuanzhang also defended Han Lin'er's death, not at his behest. Luo Yulong didn't believe it at the time, but when he became the emperor, he believed it a little.

In Luo Yulong's opinion, this is still good.

After all, if Zhang Xuan has the ability to turn the tide, at least Luo Rucai's foundation can be passed on. But is Zhang Xuan really capable of salvaging the situation?

Luo Yulong didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

It's like this, Luo Yulong doesn't even have the mood to say a word more. The so-called mourning is greater than the death of the heart.

"Your Majesty." Yang Chengzu saw that Luo Yulong didn't speak, so he said stubbornly: "Yangzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, please ask Your Majesty to return to Xijing temporarily, and the minister is willing to stay in Yangzhou." ”

Previously, Luo Yulong was stationed in Yangzhou to wait for the support of Jiangnan, hold the stronghold north of the Yangtze River, and repel the Qing army.

Now the south of the Yangtze River can't hold it, let alone the north of the Yangtze River?

This Yangzhou has become a dead place. If Luo Yulong stays here, it can be said that it will have no effect at all.

Luo Yulong sighed leisurely and said: "I have never escaped from the battle in my life, but now I have abandoned the army and fled several times, which is already unbearable, how can I care. The army of 600,000 went north, where is it now, and what face do I have to see the Jiangdong fathers? ”

"Needless to say. This is where I died. ”

Luo Yulong gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said: "Send someone to send Zhang Xuan another edict to make Zhang Xuan King Zheng, the envoy of the Privy Council, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the governor of the world's military affairs, and the cabinet." ”

When Yang Chengzu heard this, he was taken aback.

According to Luo Yulong, Zhang Xuan's several official positions can cover all the power of the Great Xia Imperial Court. can already threaten Luo Yulong. His heart moved slightly, and he instantly understood that Luo Yulong was supporting Gu.

He thought about it, since this country was destined to be in the hands of Luo, he would rather give it to Zhang Xuan than lose it to Tartar. Anyway, Zhang Xuan is also the son-in-law of the Luo family. But now, Luo Yulong, the Great Xia Emperor, is just an empty emperor. All that can be done is to give Zhang Xuan some help as much as possible.

Even if it's nominal.

It's more up to Zhang Xuan himself.

In the city of Wuchang.

Zhang Xuan handles all kinds of government affairs.

The first is the Battle of Chongqing, Wu Sangui has already withdrawn, and in the face of the strong wall of He Hutou, Wu Sangui could not attack it and had to retreat. But all the forces of the Xia army in Sichuan were also cleared, and only Chongqing was left, the bridgehead.

Wu Sangui occupied most of the central part of Sichuan, and for a while it was not like he was dying in Chengdu City, showing his teeth and dancing his claws, recruiting troops everywhere. It looks like it's strong, and it could make a comeback at any time.

Then there is the Battle of Xiangyang. In other words, the second battle of Xiangyang started again.

Prince Zheng of the Qing army faced the fortified city of Xiangyang and attacked it fiercely. And Xiangyang has been rebuilt since the last war. It can be said to be a key project in Daxia. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to build this Xiangyang Jiancheng.

Xiangyang and Fancheng face each other across the river, there is a pontoon bridge in the middle, and there are many boats on the waterway. It can be said that it is an impregnable wall. But Prince Zheng of the Qing army was not a vegetarian, and when he started a war, he was all coerced by the people, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners were just pressing the battle behind.

Wave after wave of wars.

Facing the disparity in numbers between the enemy and the enemy.

Zhang Xuan had to send Xu Du south of Xiangyang to respond, ready for waterway support at any time. Or to prevent the Qing army from bypassing Xiangyang and heading south.

At the same time, the war in Xinyang also began.

A partial division of the Qing army wants to pull out the nail of Xinyang, but Yuan Shizhong's main force is still there, and the Qing army is only a partial division, and the gap between the two sides in strength is not too big. Therefore, the battle of Xinyang was a close battle.

For a while, it seemed that there was no way to tell the winner.

But the situation here is vulnerable to fighting in other directions.

Zhang Xuan also has to deal with Jiangxi affairs.

It is also a shame that Zhang Su has been serving in Jiangxi, and he is quite influential in Jiangxi, if it were not for this, Zhang Xuan's Guangdong army, after entering Ganzhou, was blocked.

I heard that for this matter, Zhang Su also used thunderous means to kill several big people before he was suppressed.

It's just that after the army entered Jiangxi, Zhang Xuan's preparations were also delayed by the Qing army's two-sided attack

, can only stop for a while.

At this time, there was good news for Zhang Xuan. That is, Li Fuguo finally came to Wuchang.

Speaking of which, Li Fuguo is not easy. He came out of Yangzhou City and arrived at Wuchang City, which can be said to be a lot of hardship, not only to hide from the Qing army, but also to hide from the Xia Dynasty officials, who knows who is listening to the officials in various places now.

Qian Qianyi can control the government with all his might, and it can be said that his protégés are all over the world. Most of the civil officials were under Qian Qianyi.

This influence should never be underestimated.

So Li Fuguo arrived a few days later than expected.

However, it's good to come.

After Li Fuguo arrived in Wuchang, he hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes, changed into eunuch clothes, and together with his godson, announced to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan immediately invited all the civil and military officials in Wuchang City to receive the order.

Li Fuguo said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Today's state affairs are difficult, thieves are guilty, Zheng Guogong, the general of the expedition to the south, is loyal and courageous, and he is specially summoned to King Qin, hoping that the general can deeply solve my worries." ”

If yes, etc.

It's not too long, it's just an edict from King Qin.

However, as soon as this edict came out, it helped Zhang Xuan a lot.

Zhang Xuan came all the way from Guangdong, to be honest, it was an illegal act, a violation of the imperial court system, it can only be said that the matter is in a hurry, although Wang Long is willing to cooperate, but it does not mean that if Zhang Xuan continues to go east, others are willing to cooperate.

Otherwise, Zhang Su would not have used swords to solve the problem for this matter.

Now that there is this edict of King Qin, what Zhang Xuan has done is reasonable and legal.

Even if Qian Qianyi blocked it, Zhang Xuan also had something to say.

After Zhang Xuan received the holy decree, needless to say, Li Fuguo seemed to be in a hurry, and asked directly: "General, Your Majesty is looking forward to the general day and night in Yangzhou, but I don't know when the general will go south?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "This is to prevent the Qing army from crossing the river, so I have sent General Zhou Fuchen to lead the headquarters to march eastward, as long as General Zhou Fuchen is here, the Qing army will not be able to fly over the Yangtze River." ”

Li Fuguo said with a smile: "It's so good, but I don't know when the general will preside over the overall situation?" ”

Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart, and secretly said that Li Fuguo was really a spirit-stirring person, and he heard Zhang Xuan's prevarication.

It's not that Zhang Xuan intends to shirk, his family is old and young, all in Nanjing, how can Zhang Xuan not worry. It's just that now the pressure on Hubei is not small, the Qing army is pressing up, and the first wave of offensive has not yet passed. Zhang Xuan's reckless move, once the Qing army broke Xiangyang, Zhang Xuan not only could not save the southeast, but I was afraid that the land of Huguang would not be able to be saved.

It's just that the truth is this, in this kind of monarch and minister atmosphere, but it's not easy to say it directly, Zhang Xuan didn't know how to say it for a while? Could it be that the war crisis in Hubei, where will the emperor let it go first?
