Chapter 3: The World Smokes Rise

In this world, there is a profession that can solve your worries.

Lack of beauties? Three palaces and six courtyards are waiting for you, not enough? The world's show girls are waiting to make up.

Short on money? The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's land. In a word, you can use a super trick: collect taxes. You don't need to think about it, you can reap the benefits of the world.

Afraid of being bullied? Jokes, the Ming Emperor has a million heroes, and anyone can be beaten.

This is the emperor, the most supreme and unique position in the world.

The whole world seems to be within reach, at will. The taste of power is intoxicating and makes people forget all sorrows. But when people really sat on it, Zhu Cihong suddenly discovered another scenery.

A kind of danger that is unbearable in the heights, this throne, is more complicated than he imagined.

Want to enjoy the infinite glory?

Want to control the authority of this Venerable Master?

Want to conquer the world?

Of course Zhu Cihong thought. But the problem was directly served on Zhu Cihong's desk, and there was no buffer at all.

The 276th year of the new calendar of the Ming Dynasty is also the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, the nineteenth day of the first month. In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Zhu Cihong was slightly stunned.

At this time, this year's cabinet began to enter the Qianqing Palace in turn, and came at the call of Zhu Cihong.

Huang Jingfang, a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wu Fu, a scholar of the Cabinet Second Assistant, Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Wenhua Temple, and Fang Yuegong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, slowly entered, and the cabinet of several vacant people looked lonely and depressed.

After the four cabinet scholars entered the Qianqing Palace, they were all silent, looking at each other, and they all smelled different smells in their eyes.

Zhu Cihong sat upright. Watching the arrival of several people.

"Why, a few Aiqing until now. Do you want to report good news or bad news? Zhu Cihong sat upright and looked around at the two: "I think that I, Zhu Cihong, has just ascended the throne." Can you just be the king of the dead country? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Wechen doesn't dare."

……

In an uproar, the four of them bowed to the ground.

In the end, it was Huang Jingfang who opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this matter is not hidden. According to the law, it is normal for the court to discuss for a month. What's more, all affairs in the DPRK and China need to give way to the ceremony. In particular, the military officials of the Beijing Chinese and the military are all in the top ...... in the first place."

Huang Jingfang said. The tone gradually wavered, no longer firm.

The expression on Zhu Cihong's face gradually slowed down, looked at a few people, and said: "Therefore, Li Zicheng is like a country of his own, and the troops are sent in two ways, and Shanxi and Henan are all dangerous. This matter has been delayed until now? It really has the style of Jingkang! ”

"Wechen is a capital offense!" Huang Jingfang knelt on the ground with a calm face.

Wu Fu sighed lightly. Said: "Wechen is also guilty. ”

Although Huang Jingfang and Wu Fu are not directly responsible for sitting on the throne with Li Zicheng, they also have leadership responsibilities with Chinese characteristics.

On the contrary, Fan Jingwen and Fang Yuegong looked at their noses and noses, and they were both standing separately, unmoved. Fan Jingwen is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. It is not related to this matter, and the leadership responsibility is not ranked on the third person. Fang Yuegong is even more peculiar, he is the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital. opened the precedent of the Ming Dynasty, and the nobles of the cabinet also served as their own imperial history. As a supervision officer, it is extremely difficult for Fang Yuegong to sign a contract.

Seeing that the two of them were soft. Zhu Cihong didn't say much. He didn't go to prison with a loud shout as a few people feared, nor did he get as angry as Zhu Youzhen did before.

Zhu Cihong just calmly took out a report from the case. He read it softly and said: "The general of the battalion is ordered to ask for things: since ancient times, the emperor has risen and fallen, and it is a sign of the people's hearts. In the Ming Dynasty, most of the numbers have ended, the punishment is severe, and the people are unbearable. Birth of my holy lord, benevolence and good life, the banner of righteousness is raised, and Haiyu returns to his heart. Crossing the south of the river and leveling Yu Chu, entering the west of the Guanxi and sweeping the three Qin. To pacify the officials and pacify the people, and to set up generals to defend the border, the great cause has been decided. There is Jin Yan, and he has been trapped in the soup for a long time. I couldn't bear to sit idly by, so on the 20th of this month, the head of the task force led 500,000 soldiers from Chang'an, and marched into the vanguard by different routes; My lord himself raised a million troops. There is no offense in the slightest. For the first card to the civil and military attachés, etc., the time is measured, the city is sealed, and the early picture is juelu; If you are obsessed with refusal, Xu Er's gentry and people will be bound, not only rewarded, but also to protect the lives everywhere, such as the officers and soldiers resisting together, the soldiers will break the city, the jade will not be divided, and what will the regret be......"

"Listen to everything, listen to it." Zhu Cihong looked around at the three of them and said: "The capital is that my Ming Zhongxing weather has been revealed, smashing the Yellow Dragon, conquering Shengjing, the prosperity of martial arts, and chasing the ancestor of Taizu." But the result? The land where the Tang Emperor rejuvenated the country has run out of a great Shun country! ”

Huang Jingfang, Wu Fu, Fan Jingwen and Fang Yuegong were all silent when they heard this.

At this time, the whole city was full of news congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and it seemed that after Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty suddenly flourished. But in fact, Zhu Cihong accepted the Ming Dynasty, which was even more erosive than when Chongzhen took over.

At this time, even they can't help but speculate in their hearts. It is not so much that Zhu Youzhen chose to abdicate because of Zhu Cihong's high achievements, but that this mess is beyond the scope of Emperor Chongzhen's ability to deal with it. If the emperor and the crown prince are still centrifuged and the power is dichotomy, then this Ming Dynasty is indeed going to end.

The new emperor's successful accession to the throne was a happy event, but as soon as Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he found in vain that he had been kept in the dark for a long time.

Zhu Cihong was a triumphant advance in Korea, and after attacking Shengjing in Liaodong, he forced the Jiannu army that was raging in Gyeonggi to retreat, but he suddenly looked back, but found that the basic plate of the Ming Dynasty was under the governance of Emperor Chongzhen, and half of the soldiers were no longer owned by Zhu Cihong.

Li Zicheng, a defeated general, disappeared from Zhu Cihong's sight since he was defeated by Zhu Cihong's soldiers in the first battle of Kaifeng.

Zhu Cihong established the Royal Guards Regiment in Kaifeng and went north to defeat the Jiannu Eight Banners army, which was more powerful than the peasant army. The battle of Zhangqiu became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. It was later that he quickly went south to Beijing, and he quickly solved Zuo Liangyu, a warlord scum, recovered Wuchang, and drove Zhang Xianzhong, who was showing off his might, all the way to Sichuan.

At that time, Li Zicheng was at the junction of Huguang and Henan, with Xiangyang as the center.

Zhu Cihong is respected in the south, and Nanjing is the center of the cabinet, just like the Ming ******. The pattern of the two capitals in the north and south was quietly cast when Emperor Chongzhen let Zhu Cihong supervise the country. Of course, Zhu Cihong is sensible. In order to avoid overstimulating Emperor Chongzhen. In order to avoid infighting, Zhu Cihong finally decided to go on an expedition to Korea to give priority to solving the Liaodong issue. And the domestic problems were naturally lost to Emperor Chongzhen.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong scored full marks in North Korea and Liaodong and answered the extra questions correctly. But Emperor Chongzhen frequently urged Sun Chuanting because he was anxious to prove himself. provoked the only general under the command of Emperor Chongzhen, Ma stumbled, and the Qin army in Shaanxi was defeated by Li Zicheng in Nanyang.

Sun Chuanting retreated to Tongguan, but Li Zicheng had been saving for a long time, running all the way to conquer Tongguan and sweep Shaanxi. After that, it went north, and the whole territory of Shaanxi was occupied. galloping all the way, it seems to have the heroic posture of the year.

And at this time, the Jingshi is up and down. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell into another kind of carnival.

Zhu Cihong conquered Shengjing, Emperor Chongzhen announced his abdication as Emperor Taishang, and Zhu Cihong ascended the throne as emperor. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were busy celebrating and whitewashing the peace, and they were all taking care of deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates, waiting for the offensive of the Great Shun Kingdom to be in full swing.

When Zhu Cihong announced the Jiashen year of 1644 as the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng also announced the name of the Dashun State for two months, the first year of Yongchang.

On the eighth day of the first month of the first month of the first year of Yongchang, the main force of Li Zicheng's Dashun army set out from Xi'an and began to march to Beijing. Before you go. Li Zicheng ordered the general Tian Jianxiu to stay in Xi'an, and Li Zicheng's wife Gao and some of the six government officials also stayed in Xi'an. Another group of Dashun court officials, including Prime Minister Niu Jinxing and military advisor Song Xiance, acted with the army and called it Xingzai.

"The thief army took Xi'an as the starting point, and divided the north and south to attack in a pincer shape. First of all, the South Road ......" Zhu Cihong calmly searched for someone and spread out a map. Slowly explained the situation: "Some people say: Kou Dazhi, three hundred miles, feather iron armor. Dazzling. The dust rises, and the day is twilight; The horse neighed. The sea boils the mountains and destroys ......"

The commander of the Nanlu Shun Army was Liu Fangliang, and the left battalion led by him began to fight on the southern front.

History. This is where a new inflection point begins. In the original history, Henan at this moment had been completely captured by the Shun army. But in the time and space where Zhu Cihong is located, everything has changed.

After the victory of Kaifeng in the First World War, Henan was still in the hands of the Ming court.

Garrisoned in Henan is the new Henan political envoy Sibu political envoy Huang Shu, in charge of Henan's military is the new Ming Royal Guards Regiment 3rd Regiment Lang General Fu Rugui, he led the 4th Infantry Battalion Chen De and the 5th Infantry Battalion Hu Zichen who were assigned to the 3rd Regiment, and the new 10th Infantry Battalion concurrently served by Fu Rugui himself.

Three battalions were stationed in Henan, with a total strength of more than seven thousand.

"If it weren't for Liu Fangliang's troops out of Tongguan, he sent troops from Luoyang, which was based on the thief army, and was blocked in Luoyang by Fu Rugui. I'm afraid I don't know that the three provinces of the Ming Dynasty are no longer owned by the imperial court. Zhu Cihong said calmly, staring at the map, and said, "The southern line, it's not serious." Seriously on the northern front...... After Shanxi, it is Gyeonggi! ”

After crossing the Yellow River, the main force of the Dashun army arrived in Pingyang on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, and the prefect Zhang Xuanran surrendered. After a short rest, the army marched to Taiyuan.

Before and after this, Li Guo and other troops of the Dashun Army guarding northern Shaanxi also transferred troops in accordance with the unified deployment, crossed the river from Jiazhou, and invited the officers and soldiers to defend the ferry along the river, so as to cut off the aid of Taiyuan and open the road to the west.

Compared with the momentum of the Dashun army, the Ming army is much more embarrassed.

In the face of the offensive of the Shun army, the people of Shanxi were very different from the performance that Zhu Cihong expected. In the propaganda of the Shun army, the Great Shun army did not kill, did not commit adultery, and did not levy taxes. As soon as the slogan was shouted, the people no longer tried their best to resist like the invasion of Jiannu, but looked forward to the new trend and new atmosphere, and no longer criticized them as small people.

Shanxi Governor Cai Maode was well informed, and immediately looked for Fu Shan, a famous scholar in Shanxi, to defeat Jiannu, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, conquer Shengjing, and return to the division to protect the news of Jin in a few days.

It's a pity that Zhu Cihong's meritorious service is too rebellious, and the most important thing is that the credit overdraft of Ming officials is serious at this moment, and taxes have been levied for decades.

Compared with credibility, what makes Cai Maode more headache is not this, but the more critical the situation, the more complicated the contradictions in the city. As the governor of a province, Cai Maode personally went to Pingyang to deploy river prevention matters, and wanted to hold the crossing of the Yellow River. However, due to the lack of food and salary, Cai Maode was powerless, and defense became a utopian dream.

For this reason, Cai Maode had to ask the two county kings of the Jin Domain, Xihe and Jiaocheng, who were sealed in Pingyang, to take the lead in persuading the gentlemen and the people to donate money. As a result, as always, no one agreed to donate money. The river defense plan has not yet been implemented, and the king of Jin sent people to urge him to return to Taiyuan to defend the city.

Helplessly, Cai Maode returned to Taiyuan. At this time, Wang Zongyou, the governor of the imperial history, impeached him for giving up Pingyang without authorization.

According to the original history, Emperor Chongzhen, who learned the news, was furious and indiscriminately dismissed Cai Maode and sent him to prison. Fortunately, at this moment, the old and new emperors of the Ming Dynasty have changed, and the chapter has been pressed under the desk, and when it is turned out, it is already time for Zhu Cihong to get new information.

In addition to the original system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong's Jinyi Guard system is well deserved. Luo Yangxing quietly retired, and Jinyiwei fell into the hands of Zhu Cihong. After adapting to it, a steady stream of military information entered Zhu Cihong's desk......

Although Cai Maode was not dismissed as originally planned, he still worked hard with Zhao Jianji, the political envoy of the same left, and Bi Gongchen, the patrolman, to defend Taiyuan day and night, but everyone knew that the morale of the Ming army was low and it was difficult to hold on.

To this end, Tsai Moude put his hope on another person. This person is: Li Jiantai.

Now in the Ming Cabinet, the first assistant Huang Jingfang, the second assistant Wu Fu, and the third is Li Jiantai. He was a cabinet scholar in the Chongzhen era, and entered the cabinet as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and at the beginning of December of the sixteenth year of the reorganization before Zhu Cihong's great victory into Beijing, Li Jiantai was led by Emperor Chongzhen in advance of the original history as the secretary of the military department to lead 3,000 Beijing battalions out of Beijing to supervise the division, trying to return to his hometown to defend Sangzi. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen deeply felt the risk of Li Jiantai defending the country with his private wealth, and specially gave Shang Fang a sword and allowed Li Jiantai to act cheaply.

It's a pity that Li Jiantai was obviously unlucky, and soon after he walked out, he found that his pride was broken, and he frequently encountered wind and sand along the way. In addition, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were already erosive, demoralized, and the logistics were lacking, and more than 1,000 people fled as soon as they marched all the way to Zhuozhou, where the Beijing division was located.

It seems very sad. Li Jiantai was also depressed. But what is different from history at this moment is that Li Jiantai left Beijing two months early, and his hometown of Quwo County has not yet been captured, because although Li Jiantai is sad, he still has the heart to continue marching, instead of being blocked by local officials outside the city gate as in history, and he can't even find a place to rest.

So Cai Maode found Shanxi celebrities Fu Shan and Han Lin, asked them to be messengers, and hurriedly went to find Li Jiantai to defend Shanxi.

"How to clean up this country?" Zhu Cihong muttered. (To be continued.) )
