Zhu Linmiao nodded secretly. This Li Dingguo is worthy of being recognized by later generations as the god of war in the late Ming Dynasty, when he received the order, he was still in northern Sichuan, more than 600 miles away from the loyal battalion from Jingzhou, and he arrived one step earlier.

It seems that this Li Zhanshen has not long joined the Ming Dynasty, and he is in a hurry to clean up He Tengjiao's rebels.

But Zhu Linmiao has his own arrangements for Huguang. He hurriedly summoned Shi Lin and asked him to send someone to inform the military department and order Li Dingguo to stay still for the time being. After all, once this war is ignited, it is not so simple to extinguish it, and the people of Huguang are the most injured.

After Gao Yigong's military report, there was an inconspicuous Tang newspaper, which briefly mentioned that Wang Yingxiong's Sichuan army was attacked by Luo Luohun near Hanzhong, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people. Fortunately, Governor Wang's defense was not bad, and the morale of Hanzhong Jianyu was not high, so after retreating to Ningqiang, the main force did not suffer much loss.

Zhu Linmiao rubbed his forehead, although the combat effectiveness of these old-style Ming troops has improved compared to before, they are still frightened in the face of the Qing army, and Sichuan is still inseparable from the white pole army.

He also remembered the recent situation when Duoduo sent troops south to attack and harass, which overwhelmed the Ming army. The pressure in the Chuzhou area was even greater, although there were 8,000 broken prisoner camps in the town, but the nearby people were slaughtered, and the Qing army seemed to have regained the feeling of being outside the pass, harassing and plundering day and night.

But at present, Daming is not at ease, even if he wants to teach Jiangbei Jianyu a hard lesson, he has no choice but to spare his energy at all. Huguang has almost all the troops in the neighboring provinces, and if the battle starts, it will be a melee of 1670,000 troops. The Ming Dynasty was far from having the ability to wage two wars at the same time.

He let out a long sigh, fortunately, there was a turning point for the little emperor to abdicate, and he took this opportunity to solve the chaos in Huguang as soon as possible. At that time, not only will all the ten provinces south of the Yangtze River return to the Ming Dynasty, but a large number of combat-effective troops such as the Baigang Army and Li Dingguo will be able to be transferred from Huguang, and even He Tengjiao's 100,000 Chu troops will be able to select some elites to use, and the current situation of military embarrassment will be immediately reversed.

He was thinking about the situation in Huguang when he heard someone in front of him shouting, "Welcome His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King back to Beijing!" ”

When he looked up, he saw hundreds of courtiers on both sides of the road, along with an endless stream of people, kneeling down and shouting, "Meet His Royal Highness!" ”

Zhu Linmiao knew why these officials had such a big battle, but fortunately, they were now familiar with their habits, and they were not too extravagant, they were basically just empty people on the side of the road to greet them.

Zhu Linmiao drove his horse to the front of the greeting team, and said with a smile: "This is not a New Year's festival and there is no good news, what is there to welcome?" ”

He waved his hand at everyone again, "I know your intentions, so let's all disperse and settle down." Then he kicked the horse's belly and led his own soldiers through the crowd.

When he returned to Yingtianfu, he saw that Mu Zhiqing and Zhen Zhen were already waiting here.

"Your Highness, you are back......

Zhu Linmiao didn't wait for Mu Zhiqing to finish speaking, she first smiled and pinched her little nose, and said, "You asked Zhen Zhen to send troops to block the road to and from Nanjing, right?" ”

Mu Zhiqing stuck out her tongue, "People are afraid of ......"

"We are doing what we are doing, and we are not carrying out a coup d'état, but we do not need to do it."

"Let's not talk about this for now," Zhen Zhen was really anxious, and stepped forward to look at Zhu Linmiao and said, "What is Your Highness's plan?" It also makes Sister Mu and I have a bottom in our hearts! ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled slightly, "Naturally, it is the right one." ”

The two daughters looked at each other excitedly and smiled when they heard this, and were about to say something more, when they heard that Ma Wensheng was coming, "Grandpa Wang, Yang Gebu led a large number of courtiers to ask to see." ”

Zhu Linmiao knew that this was a proper cutscene, so he nodded and ordered, "Take them to the main hall." But there are some doubts in my heart, why is Yang Tinglin the leader?

In the main hall of Yingtianfu, more than 40 courtiers such as Yang Tinglin, Song Yingxing, Xu Erlu, Hong Si, and Zeng Jian were crowded.

When he saw the Auxiliary King come in, Yang Tinglin took the lead, and all the ministers knelt down with their clothes on, "Meet His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King!" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and raised her hand, "Ah, everyone get up." ”

However, everyone in the room still knelt still, Yang Tinglin coughed lightly, took out a narrow brocade cloth, and said loudly: "Your Highness."

"The former Chu thief was deceitful, holding my son of heaven and rebelling, and the world shook. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager upholds righteousness, compassion for all the people, relies on thieves to fight nothing, and cannot be coerced by the national weapon, and the holy monarch cannot be coerced, only those who inherit the mandate of heaven, and make Taizheng return......

"However, Lao Tzu said, 'The country cannot be without a king for a day', and now the artifact is hanging in vain, the people and gods are out of control, and the whole world is panicking. Now the four seas are looking forward, looking forward to the Holy Prince's inheritance, bestowing the heavens with the luck, to Anhuanyu, Xingzong Temple, and Gusheji......

"Since Chongzhen, only His Royal Highness has entered the far frontier, recovered my territory of 3,000, chased and chased the captives, raised the river, traveled to the floating sea, and the day is coming. Leading the army of Tianwei, tens of thousands of prisoners, from Fuzhou Yuanlai Prefecture Lianjie, the East Thief Fish was scattered, and they were invincible......

"His Royal Highness Fu out of the King of Chen's crown, the first emperor's own branch, the holy posture is huge, the gods are bowing, the benevolence is covered with virtue, the talent is cherished, and the heart is returned to the heart of the Quartet......

"In this world, His Royal Highness is Mingde, the government is not governed, the people are Sui, the country is towering, and the internal and external coordination is becoming more and more prosperous......

"Therefore, there are more than 1,000 courtiers today, and hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, please ask Your Highness to inherit the mandate of heaven, establish the throne, and set the title as soon as possible, so as to rejuvenate the society!"

After he had finished reciting the sprinkled form of persuasion, he raised his head high, and without seeing any movement for a moment, he wanted to put away the brocade signed by the officials and get up and leave—according to the usual practice, persuasion requires three persuasions and three resignations, and then the superior will only "last resort" and agree.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he withdrew his arms back, he felt that someone had taken the persuasion watch away, and he couldn't help but look up, and saw Ma Wensheng holding the brocade and respectfully handing it to the auxiliary king.

The latter took the persuasion form, glanced at the signatures of the hundreds of officials, and nodded: "The situation is urgent, and time cannot be wasted. Since everyone has this intention, then I will not refuse. ”

Yang Tinglin and the courtiers were all stunned on the spot, and said in their hearts, this, where is this trouble? Isn't it supposed to be rejected three times? The last two persuasion books have been written, so do you still need it? This is the first time I agreed, but what should I do next?

If they listen to the words of the afterlife, they will definitely say at this moment, "Why don't you play cards according to the routine?!" ”

To say that Hong Si, who has been engaged in propaganda work, reacted the fastest, and took the lead in bowing and saying: "The mandate of heaven is incomprehensible, and the mandate of heaven should be so fast, so there is no false ceremony, it is believed in the gods, and it is in line with heaven and earth!" ”

Yang Tinglin also came back to his senses, "Yes, yes, not in the virtual style." He straightened his clothes again, and solemnly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please choose an auspicious day to set the ceremony!" ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, handed the brocade in his hand to Gonggong Ma, and looked at Xu Erlu, "The Ministry of Rites will prepare immediately, everything will be simple, and the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow." ”
