Chapter Seventy-One: Emperor Onishi
Chapter 70: Emperor Onishi
Today's Zhang Xianzhong is already the Emperor of Daxi.
During the Xiangyang War, to be precise, after Luo Rucai became the emperor, Zhang Xianzhong was not to be outdone and became the emperor. For a time, there were four emperors on the land of China, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daxia, Emperor Daming, and Emperor Daxi.
However, many people did not see Emperor Onishi in his eyes.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was already a little yellow, but under the anger, it looked even more sallow, he gritted his teeth and said: "Do you really think that Lao Zhang will not kill?" ”
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's anger was almost overflowing, and he didn't know where to send an evil fire.
He just felt like he was being tricked.
After Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, he changed his course and acted as a corporal. I want to establish a foundation in Sichuan. Naturally, they want to appease the gentry, and people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and the gentry from all walks of life in Sichuan are under Zhang Xianzhong's knife, so what should they naturally do.
Zhang Xianzhong is also recruiting civil officials. Many Ming officials were retained in their original positions.
But after a long time, Zhang Xianzhong came back to his senses.
All prefectures and counties are perfunctory to him. Yes, it's perfunctory. The taxes to be levied are in arrears. Even if there is a little, it's the same as sending Hanako. Moreover, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he almost did not fight every day, because of the geographical environment, although Sichuan and Huguang were not far away, they were almost two battlefields.
After Zhang Xianzhong occupied Chengdu, he changed from a rogue to a political power, which made Zhang Xianzhong very inapplicable. It can even be said that it is not that Zhang Xianzhong is not applicable, and even the Great Western Army under Zhang Xianzhong is not suitable.
Under the leadership of Zhang Xianzhong, the Great Western Army divided into joint attacks and fought for thousands of miles.
But as soon as he entered Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong made Wang Zhaoling the prime minister. All the troops are organized into one hundred and twenty battalions, and these one hundred and twenty battalions are in charge of his four righteous sons, which is only Zhang Xianzhong's mobile force, and when he lays down a city, he will garrison soldiers and horses.
And Zhang Xianzhong's anger came precisely because of the soldiers and horses stationed in various places.
There is no other reason. The previous perfunctory, Zhang Xianzhong can still bear it. But more gentry for the Ming army as an internal response, many times, that is, after the Great Western Army captured the city, settled down, after the main force of the Great Western Army withdrew, as soon as the Ming army came, there was immediately an internal response to dedicate the city to the Ming army.
Zhang Xianzhong's hard work came to naught.
It was also because of Zhang Xianzhong's situation that he was unmoved by Luo Rucai's letter. It's been a hard time for anyone.
The Great Western Army is very tired of fighting fires back and forth like this, and now the situation is getting worse and worse, Zhang Xianzhong feels that if the situation continues, it will not take a year for the situation to be reversed
Come here.
"Your Majesty." Wang Zhaoling said: "Sichuan people are light and not easy to surrender, and now the situation is not hot, and it is not enough to make the people surrender." ”
"This ----" Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a while, he didn't dare to kill, Zhang Xianzhong's reputation for murder is there, he can't say that he doesn't take his life to heart, but he is also a master who is not afraid of killing, he doesn't care about some people at all, and said: "Can you really recover the Sichuan people?" ”
Wang Zhaoling said: "To win the hearts of the people, it has always been a combination of grace and power, and now Your Majesty, there is more than grace, and there is no prestige, this is the reason why the Sichuan people are rebellious, and now the imperial court has sent Fan Yixuan to preside over the military affairs in southeast Sichuan, and the imperial court is afraid that it will attack on a large scale." Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
The decision of the Changsha court was, in a sense, quite lagging behind. In other words, Ma Shiying felt the fighters here, and only then did he decide that Fan Yixing would preside over it, in order to take the lead in this battle.
Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Mr. Wang, what do you teach me?" ”
Wang Zhaoling said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to demote officials from all over the country." ”
Immediately, Wang Zhaoling made a list, the list was not long, but they were all prestigious people from all over the world. If Zhang Xianzhong kills people according to the list, he will not be able to wipe out Sergeant Lin of Sichuan, but the killing is not light, and the people killed are all scholars.
However, Zhang Xianzhong saw that the top few people were the family members who took the lead in offering the city, and his heart was furious, and he said, "Okay." ”
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Is there any way for Mr. Wang to solve the current situation? ”
Wang Zhaoling said: "Sichuan is just a corner of the country, and now Cao Ying has won a big victory over the Qing court and Xiangyang, and the momentum is booming, and His Majesty and Cao Ying have always been friends, why not make friends with Cao Ying, after getting Cao Ying's support, we have a little more confidence when we are at war with the imperial court." ”
Zhang Xianzhong heard Wang Zhaoling talk about Cao Ying, and his heart suddenly felt a little trance, and he suddenly remembered Luo Rucai.
Looking at the current situation in Daxia, and then looking at the current predicament in Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong was in a trance for a while. I don't know what I'm recalling, Zhang Xianzhong already knew about the deaths of Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng. The three most prestigious leaders of the rebel army that year, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong.
But I don't want to, but after a few years, the old man is no longer there.
And during the period after Luo Rucai's death, what Luo Yulong did made Zhang Xianzhong feel that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and for a while Zhang Xianzhong had a feeling that he was born early and that time was not waiting.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty -----," Wang Zhaoling said.
"Oh." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Before Cao Cao wrote a letter asking me to send people to help in Xiangyang, I didn't agree, and in the future, I begged Cao Ying, will Luo Yulong agree?" ”
Wang Zhaoling said, "Please."
Your Majesty don't worry, the new lord of Cao Ying has just ascended the throne, can he suppress the arrogant soldiers below, it's really hard to say, His Majesty sent someone to Cao Ying, I can't say that it is in Luo Yulong's heart, the so-called this time, that time. ”
Zhang Xianzhong is also a force no matter what, although it is weaker, but it also has an army of more than 200,000. Occupying the essence of Sichuan, he is a quite powerful prince. Although Cao Ying's situation is good now, he has the power of Xiangyang's great victory, and he has blown out the name of Great Xia.
But the name of Great Xia is that of Great Xia, not that of Luo Yulong, who has just ascended the throne, no, it should be called Luo Long now. After all, in order to avoid secrecy, after the emperor ascended the throne, it was already customary to change his name. It's all about changing the name to an obscure character.
And the strategic form of Great Xia is actually not very good, internally, there are warlords, and Gao Jie, Zheng Zhilong, externally, there are long fronts in the north and south, if you fortify everywhere, a million army will not be able to stop. Such a situation of being attacked by the enemy.
It's not a good one.
So Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to form an alliance with Great Xia. In this way, Great Xia got strong reinforcements from the west, and the west side was worry-free for a while. And Zhang Xianzhong has the support of Daxia, even if this support is only material support, it is enough for Zhang Xianzhong.
After all, Great Xia, which occupies the entire south of the Yangtze River, is the best of the several forces above the finances.
Second, the alliance with Zhang Xianzhong can be said to add a lot of points to Luo Long's politics, so that Luo Long has more say in the Great Xia. With such a thing, Wang Zhaoling couldn't imagine how Luo Long would not agree.
Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while and said, "Then send someone over?" ”
Before, Zhang Xianzhong only sent a messenger to Luo Rucai's funeral, not that he didn't pay attention to it. But the main generals under Zhang Xianzhong were his right-hand men, and they couldn't leave for a while. Courtesy visits, don't think much about it.
Now it is time to negotiate the alliance between the two sides, and it is necessary to send a man of weight.
Wang Zhaoling said: "Among the ministers, choose one of the four highnesses. ”
Zhang Xianzhong instantly understood Wang Zhaoling's thoughts, for no other reason, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are also very famous in the righteous army. And when they offered Cao Heying, they were very famous, so they also had their own connections in Cao Ying.
The latecomers were either unknown juniors or literati, and they had nothing to do with Cao Ying at all.
Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while and said, "Let Wenxiu go." I can't do without hope, and the character of the country is too straightforward. is not suitable for such a thing, and Wenxiu is suitable. Nengqi was fighting outside at this time, and he couldn't wait for him to come back. Let's just Wenxiu. ”
Zhang Xianzhong confirmed that Wang Zhaoling actually wanted Sun Kewang more, but he didn't dare to say anything, and immediately determined that Liu Wenxiu had handed over his errand and was ordered to go east.
