Hu Guozhu led the army down from Tianshou Mountain, and ran back to Shandong without looking back, and returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang without staying long.

The Ming army did not pursue Hu Guozhu, because Qin Yue, the commander of the Shanhe army, suddenly fell ill, and the army dealing with the Zhou Dynasty was not in a hurry at this time, so Cheng Xiaolian ordered the army to withdraw to Beijing.

Ten days later, the Northern Sweeping Army arrived in Beijing, and the situation in Beijing was completely stabilized.

Cheng Xiaolian has to visit Qin Yue these days, after all, the old man is older, and he suffered from the wind and cold in the mountains, and he fell down all of a sudden, and the doctor prescribed a prescription for conditioning, but the illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, and it will not get better for a while, but seeing that it is about to come to winter, it is not certain whether the old man's body and bones can survive it.

Qin Yue looked at Cheng Xiaolian, who came to visit every day, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty should focus on state affairs, Jiang Guotai, Ma Jiugong, and Wen Ruzhen are all generals, not commanders, if you want to unify the army, you need to transfer a marshal from the side, now the Zhou Dynasty is newly defeated, morale has fallen, coupled with the new king succeeding to the throne, the situation is turbulent, Your Majesty has a vicious vision, and has long seen the clues, and the rumors are spreading, now is a good time to send troops, although it is winter and the time to rest, but for the soldiers of our whole army, we must restore the country, You don't have to worry about these things. ”

"Boss, I've thought about all these things, so you don't have to worry."

"Your Majesty's Ninety-Five, don't call yourself me in the future, although you can get close to your subordinates, but close to your subordinates, the people below have no fear of you, sooner or later things will be bad, Your Majesty wants the love of the whole monarch and ministers, so that they will be afraid of you, so that they will not rely on their identity to act boldly and recklessly, and make you have to deal with them."

Saying that, Qin Yue let out a sigh of relief: "Since he was thirty years old, he has been the governor of the Ming Dynasty, but at that time, this official position was not valuable, and the emperor was not even a big man, and the minister was just relying on martial arts, and those people felt that the minister could protect their safety before he became the governor of the Chinese military capital, and when he was in Myanmar, he dreamed at night that he had seen the Ming Dynasty recover the rivers and mountains, and he never thought that he could still step into this Beijing city alive, and this life is worth it." ”

Cheng Xiaolian grabbed Qin Yue's hand fiercely: "Boss, you haven't seen that the world is peaceful and the four seas are peaceful, and my children will be handed over to you to teach." ”

"Your Majesty is right to hide his children, his mind is still in the embryonic state, if he is involved in the court battle, he will always put this pattern on this dragon chair, if they can put the people of the world in their eyes, in fact, whoever sits on this dragon chair is not too much, probably a royal person, even if the qualification is poor, it can be made up for the day after tomorrow, if the character is poor, the talent of the sky can not be made up."

The more Cheng Xiaolian listened, the more he felt that something was wrong: "Boss, listen to me, don't say so much, rest assured, we have doctors, some are medicinal herbs, I am still waiting for you to go to Liaodong to avenge the brothers who died in the war, don't you want to avenge the brothers around you at the beginning?" ”

Qin Yue laughed when he heard this: "The world is as vast as clouds, yesterday I was pitiful and cold, and now I think the purple python is long, when will it be the end." ”

In the eighteenth year of Kangxi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the winter of the second year of Guangwu in the Ming Dynasty, Qin Yue, the commander of the Daming Mountains and Rivers Army, died of illness in Beijing, Cheng Xiaolian posthumously named Qin Yue as the Taishi of the Ming Dynasty, and posthumously crowned the King of Mountains and Rivers. Yuan Zonghao took over as the commander of the Shanhe Army.

Originally, Cheng Xiaolian wanted Daniel Zhang to directly take over as the commander of the Shanhe Army, but considering that he had just gained a foothold in the Northern Sweeping Army, coupled with his status as a demoted general, once the commander of the Shanhe Army was appointed, some people would inevitably be dissatisfied, although these problems could be solved by force, but if the general had dirty feelings in his heart, it would inevitably affect the war.

If Yuan Zonghao came, there would be no such problem, everyone knew that he raised Cheng Xiaolian to grow up, and no one would dare to disobey the yin and yang, which would be conducive to the smooth transition of the Shanhe Army.

Jiang Guotai and a few of their courtiers from Burma also have no opinion on this matter, as early as a few days ago when they came to visit Qin Yue was explained to the matter, Qin Yue told them very clearly, if they can stay in this position all the time, wait until the founding of the Ming Dynasty is indispensable for their merits, if they insist on wanting to become the commander of the mountain and river army, once the war is unfavorable, it is easy to be punished, and then even these wealth and nobility can not be kept.

These three people are not young people anymore, they have some ability very well, and their transcendent status in the army now probably comes from the qualifications of the Ming courtiers thirty years ago, so they naturally agreed, and now they see that the handsome who has been transferred is Yuan Zonghao, and they have no complaints.

Cheng Xiaolian also accepted Qin Yue's dying suggestion and ordered Yuan Zonghao to lead the Shanhe Army to the south, because the Northern Sweeping Army suffered many casualties when it pacified Shanxi, so it stayed in Beijing to defend Kyoto.

The center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty also began to move from Chengdu to Beijing, of course, there will always be a lot of resistance to this, many people have placed industries in Chengdu, and now they want to move to Beijing, those industries are not lost?

But since ancient times, in the face of the powerful imperial courtiers, they have no full strength to speak, Zhu Di didn't also say that the capital will be moved, and the move from Chengdu to Beijing is the will of the people, the trend of the times, they naturally can't speak in the court for these distracting people in their hearts, and the move of the capital will be carried out as scheduled.

Originally, Gu Yanwu did not plan to move the academy, after all, the academy is not a court institution, although the place where the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing live is nothing now, but it will definitely become a place of sound and lust in the future, and the students of the academy will definitely be involved in court disputes prematurely, and once they lose in the partisan dispute, they will inevitably implicate the academy.

So after the three of them discussed, they chose Yuelu Academy, because the academy in Sichuan is really not profitable, and many students must travel thousands of miles to Sichuan to study, and the Yuelu Academy in Huguang is almost in the center of all places, so that all the scholars in the world can have the opportunity to accept the teachings of the saints at the same time.

Of course, this move was unanimously opposed by the military and civilians in Sichuan, and everyone knows the difference between the academy being built locally and abroad, and even the most short-sighted people will not agree to the academy moving out of Sichuan.

As soon as the news came out, many people sat in front of the academy, and those high-ranking officials and nobles distributed food to these people for free every day, and finally Gu Yanwu had no choice but to promise all the people that after the academy was set up in Yuelu Academy, it would set up academy branches in various places, and this academy in Sichuan would definitely not be abandoned, and these people would be dispersed.
