Chapter 1043: The Big Wedding

Mobile warfare is the instinct of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and Li Dingguo's grandson, as Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, is naturally proficient in the essence of guerrilla warfare.

At present, the Ming army occupies Chongqing, and Hanzhong in the north is also occupied by Hao Shaoqi, and the western thieves have no way to go east and north, so they can only go south to Yungui.

Chen Yue made a decision and ordered Li Yi to lead his troops to pursue south from Sichuan, Jin Shenghuan to attack Yunnan through Guangxi, and the governor of Huguang to block Yinxi and Chen Bing on the border between Guizhou and Hunan, blocking the road for the western thieves to sneak to Hunan.

Chen Yue wanted to see where Li Dingguo's grandson could escape, unless they fled to Burma to compete with the Burmese Indian monkeys for territory, then Chen Yue would be happy to see it.

But now Chen Yue can't put much energy into dealing with this, because his good things are coming.

Yes, he's getting married.

The filial piety period has finally passed, and his marriage to Princess Kunxing is also on the agenda. After careful calculations by the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, it was determined that October 1 was an auspicious day for the zodiac and an auspicious day for marriage.

Emperor Chongzhen decreed that from October 1 to October 7, the court boycotted the dynasty for seven days, and all yamen except for the necessary personnel on duty were all given holidays, thinking that the empress dowager and the president would have a big wedding. Who knew that the holiday would become a law later, and later there was a saying about the 11th Golden Week......

The wedding of the crown princess and the president is a once-in-a-century event for the entire Ming Dynasty, mainly because the identity of the parties is too precious. The crown princess is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the next empress, and the president is the actual ruler of the Ming Dynasty, these two are the most valuable people in the world.

Therefore, Chen Yue's filial piety period passed in April, but it was delayed until the eleventh day before the big wedding, and it took half a year to prepare.

The palace of the king of Qi was renovated and rebuilt, the two adjacent streets of the palace of the king of Qi were opened, all the people were moved out, and a magnificent hall was specially built as the wedding room of the empress dowager Kunxing and the president Chen Yue.

Yes, Kun Xing married Chen Yue, the king of Qi, and married the king of Qi as the crown princess, not the model of Princess Shang, which further highlights the status of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, in the Ming Dynasty.

In a few months, the governors of various provinces paid tribute to the imperial court and asked to return to the court to participate in the wedding.

Chen Yue smiled and refused to thank them for the tributes they sent, but he politely refused their requests to return to the dynasty one by one, even if they were confidants like Wu Ping and Jin Xin. Marriage is certainly a major event, but state affairs are even more important.

The Ming Dynasty is majestic in the east, the country is becoming more and more prosperous, the foreign enemy has been eliminated, and the internal trouble is about to disappear. Hearing about the wedding of the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding small countries have sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate them.

The Mongolian Chahar, Korqin, Khalkha and other tribes sent the banner lord Wang Ye to present hundreds of high-grade war horses to Nanjing thousands of miles away. Even the Junggar Department in the Western Regions sent envoys to Nanjing from thousands of miles away. After Li Guo and other tens of thousands of Shun troops entered the Western Regions, they brought a devastating blow to the Western Regions, after more than ten years of guerrilla warfare, the combat effectiveness of the Shun army was very strong, and it was not matched by the strength of all parties in the Western Regions, and at this time, the Jungger Department had not yet risen, and was oppressed by the Shun army and could not withstand it, so he thought of asking for help from the Ming court, hoping that the court would send Yu Feng of Shaanxi and Gansu to enter the Western Regions as soon as possible and exterminate the Shun army.

The Mongols are still like this, and Korea, which has always regarded itself as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, is even more eager, and has sent a huge delegation of envoys headed by the crown prince, and there are hundreds of Korean beauties dedicated alone.

In the poor and remote areas of North Korea, in addition to Korean ginseng, Chen Yue looked down on the other gifts they gave at all, as for these Korean beauties, Chen Yue ordered them to be issued to the concubines of the meritorious generals, and he had no idea of enjoying them himself. It's not that Chen Yue is afraid of his wife, it's that he doesn't want to give Goryeo a stick an excuse to use women to "expand the territory".

Chen Yue's wedding, even Jiannu, who fled to Guanwai, also sent an envoy to congratulate, hoping to turn the war with Daming into a jade silk and eliminate the hostile state.

Under the joint suppression of the Ming army led by Jin Xin and the Mongolian tribes, Jiannu had already retreated beyond the Great Wall, Liaodong and Liaonan, Shenyang and Liaoyang all returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides temporarily returned to the state before Nurhachi raised his troops.

After a series of defeats, the population of Jiannu was severely reduced, the former Baoyi Han military banners fled one after another, and the Mongolian banners ceased to exist. According to Jin Xinlai's report, the total population of Jiannu is less than 100,000, and there are more than 20,000 men.

Such strength, not to mention compared with the powerful Ming Dynasty, is even inferior to the Mongolian tribes.

That is to say, the Ming Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and the money and food are quite insufficient, and they are temporarily unable to start the war of destroying the country. As long as two or three years of careful preparation can be carried out, a general attack can be launched against Jiannu, and it will not be a problem to completely exterminate Jiannu. The high-level Jiannu naturally knew about this situation, so they tried to reconcile, and proposed to cancel the conditions for the Manchu Emperor to follow the example of Korea as the king and become the Ming vassal state forever.

Chen Yue snorted at Jiannu's calculations, in his heart, only a dead Jiannu is a good Jiannu. Since Jiannu wants to have illusions, let's let them fantasize first, wait for Lao Tzu to spare his energy, and then deal with them well, this time they have to drive them to the Arctic Ocean to fight the Eskimos, no, they should be called Inuit, neighbors.

As for the Ryukyus in the East, Annam and Siam in the southeast, Burma and other subject countries, they also sent envoys to Nanjing, according to the Honglu Temple, there are as many as 40 foreign envoys to Nanjing, including Western envoys with red hair and deep eyes and high noses, who congratulated the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Portugal, the Netherlands, England and other countries.

As early as January before the wedding, the people of Nanjing spontaneously cleaned the streets, Shuntianfu organized the people to pave the road with loess, sprinkled the street with clean water, and flowers were planted on both sides of Chang'an Street, and the whole Nanjing was in a festive mood.

On the day of the wedding, a huge welcoming team set off from the palace of the king of Qi, circled Nanjing for half a week, and arrived outside the Chengtian Gate through Chang'an Street.

The process is so grand, the etiquette is so numerous that there is no need to go into detail, anyway, after half a day of busy work, Chen Yue was tired and dizzy, and his face stiffened with a smile, so that Princess Kunxing was welcomed into the Qi Palace.

After worshipping heaven and earth, he toasted to the important ministers of the court who came to congratulate, and Chen Yue returned to the wedding room tired.

Then I saw Kun Xing, who was wearing a splendid phoenix skirt and a big red hijab on his head, sitting quietly on the marriage bed.

Gently lifting the hijab, looking at Kun Xing, who was beautiful and shy, Chen Yue's tiredness was suddenly swept away.

This is the most beautiful and noble woman in Daming, and she has finally become her wife!

"Princess ....." Chen Yue trembled, like a beauty under the lamp stretched out her hands......
