Macheng is located at the southern foot of the middle section of Dabie Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with strange peaks and beautiful waters. When the late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu passed by Qiting Town outside Macheng during the Qingming Festival, he once wrote, "During the Qingming Dynasty, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Many descendants of Yan and Huang who have never set foot on this land have unconsciously integrated a few apricot blossoms and a village into their own blood.

In fact, the most beautiful thing in Macheng is not the apricot blossom, but the azalea, the so-called April day in the world, Macheng looks at the azalea. Every time the flowers bloom, the mountains are all over the field, covering the sky, just like the red glow floating down the sky from Dabie Mountain, like in full swing, infinitely splendid;

When Su Dongpo belittled Huangzhou, he went to Macheng many times to see the cuckoos.

It's a pity that now that the rhododendron is in bloom, Qin Murong is handsome, and he doesn't have the leisure to see the azalea.

Now that the 20,000 Guanning army has retreated to the area of Guifeng Mountain, Qin Mu returned to Macheng with a large army, preparing to block the way of the Guanning army, and then force it to surrender when its grain and grass continue to run out.

The weather was hot, and in the county yali, Qin Mu was fanning while reading the battle reports from all sides.

Yan Gaofei hurriedly walked in and reported: "My lord, Mr. Sima and the others please return to Wuchang immediately." ”

"Is something wrong?"

"My lord, the king of Lu and the king of Tang declared the prison state in eastern Zhejiang and Fujian respectively on the same day, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and the dispute between the two families intensified, and the conflict between the two families gradually became a trend of fire and water. Now that King Lu and King Tang have sent edicts to Wuchang, Mr. Sima and others ask them to return to Wuchang as soon as possible to discuss. ”

Qin Mu nodded, motioned for Yan Gaofei to step back first, and began to think deeply.

Wu Jimin, the servant who was seated, opened his mouth and persuaded: "My lord, you are the governor of the two provinces in the Hongguang Dynasty, and it is okay to give orders in this way, but now that Emperor Hongguang has been captured, the king of Tang and the king of Lu are in charge of the country respectively, and your lord will give orders as the governor of the two provinces." It is inevitable to say that it is not good, because the so-called name is not right, and if the words are not good, it will be difficult to be justified, and it will inevitably lead to the misgivings of officials in Huguang and Jiangxi. ”

Yue Zhongliang also persuaded: "My lord, this matter is indeed a top priority, and it can't be delayed, how to deal with it, who to support, or to make another calculation." Adults must make a clear decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, the hundred officials will be suspicious, and the three armies will be short of breath. All people with lofty ideals in the world will inevitably hesitate. ”

Qin Mu no longer hesitated, nodded to the two, and shouted outside the tent: "Yan Gaofei! ”

"Your Excellency, please." Yan Gaofei immediately flashed in.

"The herald is on the hill, and Huo Sheng is camping and preparing to return to Wuchang with his official class."

"Whoa!"

"In addition, order Wuchang to let Sima An and others prepare the most solemn ceremony. Meet the Triumphant Division. He also issued a good news to the whole territory of Huguang and Jiangxi, saying that his official had annihilated 100,000 enemies in this battle to boost the morale of the people. ”

Listening to Qin Mu's words, Yue Zhongliang and Wu Jimin couldn't help but show joy on their faces. From Qin Mu's two orders, it was not difficult for them to see what Qin Mu had decided in terms of support.

"My lord, isn't 100,000 a little less? It is better to announce the destruction of 150,000 enemies. Wu Jimin tried to suggest.

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "One hundred thousand is enough, and this official will report to the people with more victories in the future." ”

Qin Mu said 100,000, which is actually not too exaggerated. The total strength of the Shang Kexi partial division was nearly 50,000, and it was completely annihilated.

Azig originally had 60,000 horses, and only about 14,000 were left that Zuihou could bring back, which was equivalent to a loss of 45,000 people.

Although there are 20,000 Guanning troops who have retreated into the middle foot of the Dabie Mountains and have not yet been able to annihilate them, they can be Yujian, and the 20,000 Guanning troops have basically nothing to do with the Manchu Qing Dynasty;

The big melee that night was mainly because the Guan Ning army and the Tartars were desperate, and the Qin army was actually just responsible for fanning the flames.

According to post-war statistics, no less than 25,000 Tartars died under the swords of Guanning that night. The casualties in Guanning were as high as more than 4,600.

In this case, it is unlikely that the 20,000 Guan Ning troops will return to the arms of the Manchus, and Qin Mu will not allow such a thing to happen.

The 20,000 Guanning troops lacked food and grass, and they couldn't stay long on the Dabie Mountain, and they couldn't afford to flee north over the reckless mountains for hundreds of miles. They now have only two options, defeat the Qin army or go down the mountain and surrender.

If they were confident that they would defeat the 100,000 Qin army, they would not retreat up the mountain.

Guo Yunlong and Hu Shouliang are still struggling, but they just want to get the price they want.

In short, all of them were calculated, and Azig lost 90,000 men and horses, so Qin Mu's report of 100,000 was not excessive.

Qin Mu quickly made some arrangements for the next battle, and the eastern front was naturally handed back to Meng Ke;

Liu Meng was responsible for leading the army to continue the siege of 20,000 Guanning troops;

Ma Yongzhen was responsible for the capture of Wuyang Pass and coordination with Li Guobu.

Su Jin, Zhao Han, Yue Zhongliang and others continued to be responsible for the rectification of the original Dashun army;

In addition, Wu Jimin was sent to negotiate with Guo Yunlong and Hu Shouliang.

After making these arrangements, Qin Mu and Huo Sheng immediately led the men and horses of the group back to Wuchang.

There were 20,000 horses and horses that came out, and when they went back, there were only more than 7,000 left, and there were bloody battles, which were extremely tragic, born to be British, and died to be spiritual. They deserve the most solemn greeting, the warmest cheers.

***********

Fuzhou.

A rather grand enthronement ceremony finally came to an end, Zhu Yujian officially proclaimed the emperor, and did not change the Yuan to the following year according to the previous practice, but immediately changed the Yuan Longwu.

It is not difficult to see from this era name that Zhu Yujian hopes that he can become the second Guangwu Emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

He renamed Fuzhou Fujing, changed Fuzhou to Tianxing Mansion, and built the Bank in Taimiao, Sheji and Tang Guozong Temple. Zheng Zhilong was promoted to Pingyu Hou, Zheng Hongkui was named Dingyu Hou, Zheng Zhibao was named Cheng Jibo, and Zheng Cai was Yongshengbo.

Huang Daozhou is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and Wu Yingdian University, Jiang Dejing is the secretary of the household department and Wenyuan Pavilion University, Zhu Jizuo is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the East Pavilion University, Zeng Ying is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the East Pavilion University, Huang Mingjun, Li Guangchun, Su Guansheng and others are the courtesy, and the left and right servants of the soldiers are also the scholars of the East Pavilion University.

Zhu Yujian knew very well that he had long been unable to fight with Emperor Chongzhen in terms of blood, and his identity as a sparse vassal could not be changed, and he was still a sin in the high wall a year ago, and under normal circumstances, he was not qualified to compete for the throne at all.

In order to win the hearts of the people, he did not hesitate to be an official, not only rewarded the Zheng family, who held the real power in Fujian, but also had a share in the officials who supported him, and he was awarded more than 20 university scholars alone. The number of people entering the cabinet is unprecedented.

For a time, the streets of Fuzhou City were full of scholars, and ten people were killed by a stone falling from the sky, at least eight of them were scholars, and the remaining two were at least prefects or something, and none of them were soldiers, because the soldiers of Emperor Longwu - more prepared to say that Zheng Zhilong's soldiers were basically floating on the sea.

It's just a big gift to the official, and Zhu Yujian also sent the throne, this thing is bizarre.

If you count by blood. Now the most qualified to succeed to the throne is undoubtedly Chongzhen's own uncle Guiwang Zhu Changying, that is, Zhu Youlang, his father, who once went to Jingmen to find Qin Mu.

Because of this, Zhu Yujian clearly stated to King Gui in the edict of the state that he had no children, "The world, the king's world." ”

This was the first throne he sent to King Gui.

Immediately afterwards, in order to subdue the Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang, Zhu Yujian sent the military department to Liu Zhongzao as an envoy in the matter, and went to Shaoxing to issue an edict, announcing that the two families were inseparable from each other. Ministers appointed by Lu Jianguo could hold equivalent positions in the Longwu court;

At the same time, he also said to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu: "I have no children, and the king is the emperor's nephew, and I will work together to worship the filial piety." I have the world, and I will end up with the king. ”

Here it is again, always talking about the fact that he has no children under his knees, and he is in the edict of the prison country. You have already given the throne to King Gui, could it be that there is another throne for me?

Of course, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, quit and refused to accept Zhu Yujian's free delivery. Insist that you are the orthodox.

At this time, Boluo led the Qing army to attack Shaoxing, Zhu Yihai could not resist, and sent an envoy to Fuzhou to ask Zhu Yujian for reinforcements, and the letter only called Zhu Yujian "Uncle Huang", but not "Bixia".

Zhu Yujian was furious, not only did he not send reinforcements, but also ordered to kill Lu Jianguo's messenger. For this matter, Zhu Yujian returned to the harem and was still angry.

Empress Zeng, who had always been dependent on him, asked the reason and explained: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this matter, there are few soldiers in eastern Zhejiang, how can he be a Tartar horseman?" If the king of Lu does not listen to the edict, he will not be able to last long. The emperor should consider his current situation, Fujian seems to be owned by the Zheng family, the Zheng family was born in Haikou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rely on in the end, the emperor really has no soldiers in his hands, it is advisable to make another plan, and send loyal ministers to recruit new troops as soon as possible, so that the emperor can drive and restore the ancestral foundation in the future. ”

Queen Zeng is alert by nature, well-read, and quite talented; All soldiers, horses, money and food can never be forgotten. Just from her words, it can be seen that she is really ten times stronger than Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian couldn't even distinguish the priorities, and was busy fighting with his nephew Zhu Yihai for righteousness, but Queen Zeng said that there was no need to fight with King Lu, because the fall of King Lu in front of him was only in the snap of his fingers, what to fight with a dying person?

Zhu Yujian has always been very respectful of his wife, who shares hardships and hardships, and after she woke up, Zhu Yujian suddenly opened his mouth and hurriedly said: "What the queen said is extremely true, what she said is extremely true, queen, this minister of the Manchu Dynasty, who do you think is appropriate to send out to recruit troops." ”

"Huang Daozhou, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, is loyal and righteous, and the emperor can send him out to recruit soldiers."

"Okay, let the zodiac go around."

"Your Majesty, this alone is not enough, the newly recruited soldiers are embarrassing to use, and they must be trained for time, and the top priority is not to let the Zheng family dominate, and they must be contained, so that the Zheng family can truly obey the emperor's will."

"The queen is coming quickly, how to contain it."

"Fang is down today, only Qin Mu, the governor of Huguang, is enough to compete with the Zheng family, although Qin Mu is also in a different mood, but now the emperor must win his support, and then Qin Mu and the Zheng family can compete with each other, so that the emperor can have room to move."

Zhu Yujian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Queen, please rest assured, I have sent an envoy to send an edict, I hope there will be a response sooner." ”

Empress Zeng shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, in the previous edict, the concubine has already learned that Qin Mu is ambitious and has become the king, and the lord of the country may not be able to impress him. ”

Zhu Yujian said in embarrassment: "Queen, you don't know that according to the laws of the ancestors, a different surname cannot be crowned a king." ”

"Your Majesty, when the country is in danger and the society is dying, there must be some flexibility, and the concubine is not to let the emperor give Qin Mu the title of king like this, the emperor can first give Qin Muguo the surname, and then make the king. In order to appease the Zheng family, the emperor could choose one member of the Zheng family and give him the surname of the country to show equal treatment. ”

"Rong Zhen thinks, Rong Zhen thinks"
