Dashun Yongchang

The new military system can clarify the responsibilities and rights of organizations at all levels, and there is no need to consult the chief general for everything as in the past, which greatly improves the army's response speed and combat capability.The General Staff Headquarters has divided responsibilities and rights for organizations at all levels. Generals at all levels in the army will not shirk when things happen. Losing combat effectiveness, I think this is the direction the army will develop in the future.

Therefore, I plan to organize the five battalions in the past into corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons; Guards Cavalry Brigade.The front, rear, left, and right battalions were reorganized into the second, third, fourth, and fifth armies, each with 24 infantry regiments and 4 cavalry divisions.The rest of the auxiliary troops and the formation of the defenders in various places will remain unchanged for the time being..."

In fact, after the guard troops withdrew from Tianjin, they had already carried out reforms according to the new military system. Li Zicheng proposed the purpose of the new military system reform at this time, in order to promote the new military system to the entire army.After winning the Battle of Tianjin, the soldiers below were once again full of confidence in King Chuang. Naturally, no one would stand up against Li Zicheng's proposal at this time.And everyone did realize the benefits of the new military system and staff system during the war, although these systems weakened the power of their generals.

After receiving the support of the generals, Li Zicheng immediately ordered the Chinese army led by Zhang Nai to start a comprehensive reorganization.After the military council meeting, Li Zicheng took Li Xi and Li Laiheng to the Shuiguan Post outside the west gate, where Zhu Cihong and Princess Kunxing lived.

"Ande Water Station" is adjacent to Dazhugan Lane in the south, Shuncheng Street in the east, and Mishi Street in the north. The five-foot-high vermilion wooden fence guards look more imposing than the Daotai yamen in the city.

Yan Jie, who accompanied Li Zicheng, saw him standing still, so he couldn't help explaining to him: "Dezhou is an important place on land and water leading to the capital. In the past, before Emperor Yongle moved his capital, he would rest here when he traveled south and north. Afterwards, officials from the north and the south have to travel here, so the water official post outside the west gate and the dry official post outside the south gate need minor repairs every year.

Otherwise, it will make the past officials unhappy, and God knows who will be offended.Therefore, for the local officials in Dezhou, the affairs of this post station are the top priority.The current Shuiguan Station was demolished and rebuilt in the third year of Jiajing. Although it has been more than a hundred years, the wood used at the time was quite good, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was good, so the inside is quite comfortable.

Wang Shizhen also wrote a poem "Inscription on the Post Wall" in it: 20 years ago, the official wicker, the spring breeze was green all over the Dezhou Bridge.Now he is as bald as an old monk, so it is strange that the temples of passers-by are easy to wither. "

Li Zicheng nodded slightly and said: "Then the Hanguan post where I will live is similar to here?"

Yan Jie immediately said: "Compared with the water official post, the dry official post is bigger and more luxurious. In the past, when Emperor Yongle was alive, Yin'an Hall was built in the dry official post for himself and the crown prince to pass by. Rest. In the third year of Jiajing, the Hanguan Post was also rebuilt, and the Yin'an Palace was changed into Guangchuan Building, and the scenery was even better."

Li Zicheng and Yan Jie talked outside the gate of the official post, which naturally alarmed the people in the post. After a while, Zhu Cihong and Li Shichun came out of the gate to meet him.Li Zicheng stepped forward to help the prince and said: "There is no need to be formal, I just came to see you and talk to you by the way. Mr. Li, please invite Mr. Chen, Mr. Feng and Mr. Wang over here. They also have to help out with ideas.”

Although he didn't know what Li Zicheng was going to say, Li Shichun quickly agreed, then turned around and ordered the people around him to invite Chen Mingxia, Feng Quan, and Wang Yongji.

Li Zicheng glanced at the people on both sides of the street who looked here, smiled and hugged them, and walked into the post with Zhu Cihong.The two scholars who were stopped by the soldiers in Zhugan Lane in the south saw Li Zicheng and Prince Zhu Cihong walking into the post station with a close relationship, and then turned and returned to a small courtyard in the alley.

After entering the courtyard and closing the gate, Tian Xuzong couldn't help stomping his feet and said sadly to the scholar beside him: "My husband, I'm afraid Zhenxian will not be spared this time. Looking at the closeness between the crown prince and Li Zicheng just now, I'm afraid Zhenxian will even be named after him." I can't keep it. I have persuaded him a long time ago that he should be cautious in doing things, and the wealthy families in the state may not be trustworthy, so he just doesn't listen."

Cheng Xianzhen didn't have the nerve to tell this friend that he was actually a member of the party contacted by He Duiji, but Tian Xuzong was an outsider, and Li Sicheng, the other mastermind, didn't want him to join. He and He Duiji managed to hide the truth from this art friend.

Of course, Cheng Xianzhen also felt that since Tian Xuzong had a family and a well-run private school, there was really no need to participate in such a big event, so it was for his own good not to tell the other party.Of course, he didn't expect that these wealthy families in the state were so shameless, seeing that the wind was going wrong, they pushed Li Sicheng and He Duiji out as scapegoats.

However, he still said with concern: "Zhenxian has become a hero since his mother passed away. When he was serving his mother at home, he was always silent.

And since his mother passed away, he seemed to be a different person. Not only did he like to drink and make troubles, but he also said: I don't want to be rich or honored, but I want to be fierce, so that I can die as a husband.

Unexpectedly, he has done a big thing now, but he has not achieved his reputation as a man.Speaking of which, it's all to blame that Emperor Yongchang didn't go to Shanxi to return to his hometown, but went south along the canal.If such an accident hadn't happened, Zhenxian wouldn't have ended up like this.

If I had known that the crown prince would go south with Emperor Yongchang, I would have stopped Zhenxian and would not let him take such a risk and elect the clan as King Ji, even the crown prince would not be able to bear such a thing. "

Tian Xuzong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Yongchang did not go to Shanxi to return to his hometown. This is correct. Although Shaanxi is 300 miles away from Qinchuan, it is known as the capital of the emperor, but today is not the Qin and Han Dynasties. The center of gravity of the world is in the southeast and the southeast. Not in the northwest.

And although Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses, it is also a prison cage.The West cannot be connected to the west, the grasslands cannot be connected to the north, Sichuan cannot be occupied in the south, and the Northern Army and the Sangui Army are in the east.If His Majesty Yongchang goes west, he will really be in a cocoon.Also, Dashun respects the virtue of water, and there is no water in the northwest. Isn't this a dead end? "

Cheng Xianzhen thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Indeed, Emperor Yongchang has a crown prince, and going south is indeed better than returning to the west. Although the officials in the south pushed Fu Wang to supervise the country, there is no legal reason in the end. If the crown prince returns south, Fu Wang should naturally step down.

Emperor Yongchang said: It is the corrupt officials of the world, not the common people, who forced Emperor Lie to death. This statement is not bad.If the ministers of Nandu want to welcome the prince back, they have to admit this point. If they admit this point, there will be no enmity between Dashun and Daming, and there will be a basis for the two families to shake hands and make peace.

From this point of view, Emperor Yongchang is already invincible, and the next question is how much the ministers in the southern capital will back down.If they refused to give in and refused to return the crown prince to the south, then Nandu would lose its authority to command the south.At that time, Emperor Yongchang will be able to subdue each place in the name of the prince. "

Tian Xuzong sighed and said: "Let's not talk about this matter. The adults in Nandu must not be confused, otherwise the life of the Ming Dynasty will really be cut off in their hands. You come to find me today, but Is there anything you want to say?"

Cheng Xianzhen withdrew her thoughts, nodded to Tian Xuzong and said, "Yes, the Shun Army ordered people from this state to follow them to the south. At that time, the results of the Battle of Tianjin had not yet been announced, and even the Shun Army didn't know what would happen tomorrow. What's going on, so I didn't use force on me, but I'm afraid it will be different this time. I want to tell you, if you don't want to go south, you might as well go to the countryside with me to avoid the limelight..."

Sending Cheng Xianzhen out, Tian Xuzong was about to close the door, but saw a person squeezed in abruptly, he was shocked, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xiao Qian, why don't you go home, what are you doing at my house? "

Xiao Shiheng, who was in his early thirties, didn't talk too much. He glanced back at the door, then turned his head and whispered to Tian Xuzong: "Someone will come to register in a while, so don't be stupid. The things at home should be cleaned up." After a while, when the time comes, our two families will take the same boat and take care of each other."

Tian Xuzong asked hesitantly: "Do you really have to go?"

Xiao Shiheng nodded and said: "Shunjun is always more reliable than Jiannu, not to mention, didn't they win the Tianjin battle..."

Chapter 97

In the hall of the main courtyard of Shuiguanyi, Li Zicheng sat at the top and drank tea leisurely. The layout here is actually very similar to a courtyard. Sitting in the hall, you can see a small courtyard surrounded by the main room and the east and west rooms. A big tree was planted, but in this season, the main house was shaded from the afternoon sun, making the main house quite cool.

While he was sipping tea and observing the internal layout of the official post, Chen Mingxia, Feng Quan, and Wang Yongji also rushed over one after another. The eldest princess who was sitting by the side wanted to get up and leave when she saw this. She came out just to pay respects to Emperor Yongchang according to etiquette.

But Li Zicheng put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Princess Kunxing doesn't have to go, you can also listen to what I'm going to talk about today, and make up your mind for Cihong, after all, you are his sister."

Aimee Zhu hesitated for a moment and then sat back down. After experiencing so many things in less than half a year, she now cherishes her relatives even more.Hearing that it was about her younger brother, she sat back in her seat regardless of the eyes of the ministers.

Li Zicheng then said to the people in the hall: "Let's talk about the first thing first. I heard that there are quite a few scholars who have defected to the prince these days. It is not possible to use so many people for the funeral of the emperor. Let them go To manage the migration of the people, they don't understand the rules set by our army.

These people didn't do anything with the prince, but spent all their energy on the debate on the relationship between Shunming and Ming Dynasty, and they were completely full.What does the relationship between Shunming and Ming Dynasty have to do with them?This is a question that the ministers in the court have to consider. If they are subject to public opinion, is it possible for everyone to fight again? "

Auntie Zhu and Zhu Cihong didn't understand Li Zicheng's meaning, they just sat there waiting for Li Zicheng's next words, but the other four people in the hall understood Li Zicheng's meaning.Feng Quan and Chen Mingxia spoke successively to echo Li Zicheng's opinion. They also felt that it was indeed too much for those who were not even scholars to talk about state affairs in vain, and they should be supervised.

Wang Yongji and Li Shichun were fair, thinking that these scholars could come to support the prince at such a moment, it would be chilling to treat them too harshly, and it would be enough to admonish them, and punish them if they refuse to correct after repeated admonitions.

After they had finished speaking, Li Zicheng continued, "I think that governing public opinion is like governing a river, and it is better to comb it than to block it. These scholars just talk all day long because they have nothing to do, so let them have something to do. And Cihong should also study and do things, and not be in mourning all day long, this is unreasonable."

Although Feng Quan, Chen Mingxia, Wang Yongji, and Li Shichun had different thoughts at this time, they were still very interested in letting the prince come out to do things. After all, the prince's funeral for the emperor was just a name, and the emperor's funeral must be strictly in line with etiquette Yes, these things are obviously beyond the understanding of the young prince, so the prince's funeral is just to get acquainted with the courtiers, and it is the four of them who really do things.

If Emperor Yongchang is willing to give the prince more power, it is tantamount to further acknowledging that the small court headed by the prince can survive, and the hope of the prince returning to the southern capital will be a little more.Therefore, the four of them unanimously asked Li Zicheng if it was possible to hold a sutra feast for the prince and set up a lecturer.

After Li Zicheng inquired about the four people, he knew that the Jingyan was "not just arguing and analyzing the classics and history, but to see the beauty; it is said to be on the sidelines and timely affairs, so as not to catch them", he said with interest: "Yes, but I want to listen to the lecture and read it first." Whether the officials really have real talents and learning, first tell me, I think it's no problem, and then tell Ci Hong.

But this is just one of them. You can’t apply what you have learned by reading without doing anything. Why do you learn this knowledge?In addition, the Jingjing Banquet cannot solve the problem of those scholars who have nothing to do, so I have a suggestion.

I plan to set up the department of Wenhua Palace, which will be led by the crown prince.The main job of this department is to sort out the collection of books we brought out from the palace, and to establish a catalog of books, especially the Yongle Canon.

In addition to sorting out these collections, you can also conduct research on these collections, and let them publish their own articles to view the talents of others.Those who have no talent and talk empty words all day long can be repelled.In addition, the knowledge that is beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood in these collections should also be sorted out and published one by one, and knowledge cannot be a special offering of the emperor. "

Li Shichun really agreed with Li Zicheng's opinion this time, he nodded in praise and said: "Your Majesty is very right, if you can make a catalog of the palace collections by category, it will be a good thing."

When Zhu Cihong heard what his closest teacher said, he also got up and cupped his hands to Li Zicheng and said, "I would like to do it."

So Chen Mingxia and the other three also got up and Li Zicheng expressed his willingness to assist the prince in handling this matter.Li Zicheng then continued: "Of course, we can't expect everyone to be able to compile book catalogs, after all, some people don't even have talents.

Therefore, I plan to set up another school to bring together those scholars who are not educated enough and those who have been repelled, and give them lessons, so that they have a certain foundation, and then assist the prince in compiling the book catalog.If the level is still insufficient, there are many children in the team that happens to be relocated, and there are also child soldiers in our army. I intend to build a junior school for them, and let these people teach children to read and write. What do you think? "

This time, no one else needed to express their opinion. Zhu Cihong felt that this plan was very good. It did not abandon those who followed him, but also gave them a way out, so he replied without thinking: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and I agree."

Li Zicheng was very satisfied with Zhu Cihong's statement, and then he mentioned the second thing, "...Although those scholars are currently arguing about the relationship between Shun and Ming, it is really pointless, but their starting point is still good. How to get along between Dashun and Daming is a question. big problem.

Don't say that there are people in Shandong, Henan and other places who have a heart for Da Ming trying to rebel against Da Shun. There are also many places in the south and northwest borders that still hang the banner of Da Ming and refuse to submit to Da Shun.

I don't want to say much, so I'll draw a conclusion.Since Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and created a unified dynasty, there has been no second China in the world.Therefore, whether it is Dashun or Daming, they are only a part of China, not two countries.

I also said in Tianjin that the death of the Ming Dynasty was due to Wanli's betrayal of the people and destiny.And the reason why I want to help Cihong you go south to restore Ming is because too many people in the north have died in the three years since Chongzhen, and I don't want what happened in the north in the past ten years to happen again in the south.

Therefore, I want to use another way to end the struggle between Shun and Ming, and let the common people choose in a peaceful environment, whether they want Da Shun or Da Ming.Of course, before that, we have to drive foreign enemies out of China first. The fight between Dashun and Ming Dynasty is just a question of who is the emperor, but the fight with the Manchus and Mongols is a question of who is the Chinese. .

The failure of the former is nothing but the subjugation of the country, and the failure of the latter is the subjugation of the world.At that time, Emperor Taizu led the Han people to expel the Hulu and created the Ming Dynasty. I believe that the descendants of Taizu would not want to collude with the Hu people to keep the emperor's position, right? "

After all, Zhu Cihong was young, so when he heard this, he blurted out without even thinking: "Of course the descendants of the Taizu will not collude with barbarians."

Although Li Shichun and the other four had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, they couldn't express them in front of Li Zicheng. Since Li Zicheng had already reached a conclusion, it would be political suicide to question them at this time.

However, different from the others, Chen Mingxia still stood up and asked Li Zicheng: "Then, how should the common people choose?"

Li Zicheng nodded to him, and then praised: "Mr. Chen asked a good question, but I haven't thought about this question yet, but you don't need to be too anxious. After all, we are still fighting Jiannu now. Want to When the world settles down, it will not be a short-term matter. We have enough time to consider how to let the people choose the system.

But I think that first of all, the common people must have the right to speak. If they don't even have the right to speak, what choice do they have?Therefore, I intend to carry out pilot projects in the northwest border and some places in Shandong.With the county as the unit, the people are allowed to manage their own affairs, while the imperial court is only responsible for the four powers of justice, tax collection, education and public security management.

Each county set up a council according to the proportion of the population, and the council decided the affairs of the county, and chose whether to accept officials from the Ming Dynasty or Dashun to serve in the area, but the county council had no right to form an army or conduct political exchanges with foreign countries. "

"This..." Chen Mingxia and the other four were dumbfounded. They had never heard of such a way of governing the country. Wang Yongji couldn't help but said, "Isn't the officials sent by the imperial court just a decoration? And the election of a council in the local area is inevitable. It is the big families in the county who are elected, if these rich families control the politics in the county, wouldn’t the small people have no place to appeal if they are oppressed?”

Li Zicheng glanced at Wang Yongji in surprise. He thought that these people only read the Four Books and Five Classics and had no knowledge of general affairs, but he didn't expect that there were still some people who understood the truth.It's just that there are so many gentry in the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many people understand this truth. Anyway, it is normal for them to bully ordinary people and exclude county magistrates.

It can only be said that if you understand the truth but do the opposite, it shows that this class is completely reactionary and hopeless.Of course, he would not say it so bluntly here, so after Li Zicheng coughed a few times, he replied to Wang Yongji: "The imperial court can take some remedial measures. For example, at the request of the majority of the people, the county The magistrate dissolves the council for re-election, and then the new council will discuss whether to convict the members of the old council. If the people still cannot get the approval, then the county magistrate will announce the dissolution of the council and enter the county's period of dictatorship for a period of five years. ..."

After listening to Wang Yongji, he felt that these remedial measures were to make the people in the county and the gentry confront each other, and in the end both sides could only get closer to the court.Well, this is indeed in line with Emperor Yongchang's goal of breaking the order of ethics. If the gentry in the county lose the awe of the common people, what kind of power do they have?

Chapter 98

Li Zicheng waited for a while, and seeing that no one objected, he went on to say: "I want Zuo Maotai to go to Xuanfu in Shandong, and a senior minister to go to Northwest. Can Mr. Wang make a hard trip? You represent Cihong and Zhenxuan." To comfort the northwest border, to make the local officials loyal to Daming, chieftains, and our army stop fighting, and our army does not require to garrison now, as long as they are willing to accept my Dashun merchants to enter the trade and maintain local law and order."

Zhu Cihong subconsciously turned his head to look at the ministers sitting beside him, wondering whether he should agree to let Wang Yongji go to the northwest, but Li Shichun hesitated to speak, while Chen Mingxia and Feng Quan avoided his sight.

Wang Yongji glanced at his colleagues, then at the crown prince, sighed in his heart, got up and bowed his hands to Li Zicheng and said: "It is also a top priority now to make the two families stop fighting and make peace, and I am willing to accept orders."

Li Zicheng looked at him with a smile and said: "Mr. Wang is willing to work tirelessly for the country, and I and Cihong will remember it. Then Mr. Wang will go back and prepare later. Let's talk about the strategy of comforting the Northwest in detail tomorrow morning. Next I just ask a few gentlemen to refer to the news from the south and see how to deal with it."

Li Zicheng took out a letter and handed it to Zhu Cihong. After reading it, Zhu Cihong's face turned red. Li Shichun and others didn't know why the prince was so angry suddenly, but they couldn't take the letter from the prince. , can only wait patiently.

Aimee Zhu has fewer scruples than these ministers, and she doesn't trust Li Zicheng. These days, the officials and squires who have helped her younger brother to receive the worship are more courageous than in the past in the palace, so she simply He took the letter from his younger brother and read it.

After reading it, she trembled angrily and said: "No wonder the father said that they are all ministers of the subjugated country. The father, the prince and several princes don't know whether they are alive or dead in the north. They don't want to send troops to the north to rescue them. Instead, they are busy promoting Uncle Fu to the throne." , this position of supervising the country can't satisfy uncle..."

Chen Mingxia stood up in surprise when he heard it, and hurriedly took the letter from Auntie Zhu's hand and read it at a glance. After reading it, he subconsciously dismissed Fushe's responsibility, "This must not be Shi Daolin's idea, immediately. Yaocao colluded with the four towns to do such a rebellious thing, which is really treason."

Feng Quan and Wang Yongji also got up and took the letter from Chen Mingxia to read it. After reading it, their faces became ugly, and then Li Shichun also took the letter and read it aside.Among them, Li Shichun was much less utilitarian, so after reading it, he could calm down and ask Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty Yongchang, is this news true?"

Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Li Zicheng, seeing this, he just smiled and said: "Nandu elected King Fu as the emperor, and we can't hide it. Sooner or later, it will spread all over the world. Why should I create such an anecdote? Of course, I will still send people to the south for further verification. The only question now is, how should we deal with King Fu proclaiming himself emperor?

Since Ma Shiying has colluded with the four towns to support King Fu to proclaim himself emperor, I am afraid that he will not welcome Cihong into Nandu so easily.Under such circumstances, even if King Fu and Ma Shiying dared to send people to welcome them, do you still dare to let Cihong cross the river with confidence? "

Chen Mingxia and the others were silent, and asked them to cross the river with the prince without soldiers and horses to protect them. Isn't this the story of King Xiao Ming?Taizu can do it, so why can't King Fu do it?What's more, it was the four towns headed by Ma Shiying who supported King Fu, and these people would certainly not know how to behave among civil servants.

Auntie Zhu watched the ministers remain silent, and finally said dissatisfiedly: "You can't cross the river. I would rather not be the emperor than let Cihong take risks. Since my uncle wants the throne, let him be. The emperor sits there I have been in the position for 17 years, and I have never seen how happy..."

Chen Mingxia had no choice but to stop her and said: "Princess, please be careful, there is no legal reason for King Fu's ascension to the throne, the world is a matter of reason, if you can sit in that position by relying on the four towns, then the world will be even more chaotic. Even if my Taizu Emperor Gao created this foundation, even if he wants to give it to a virtuous king, he can't do it like this, otherwise, what is the difference between me and the barbarians?"

Seeing Chen Mingxia's seriousness, Auntie Zhu was still a little scared, and finally stopped talking. Here, Li Zicheng said slowly: "From the perspective of history, generally, emperors who are not in the right position are always worried about the orthodox heirs outside. .Even if Cihong wanted to back down, everyone in Nandu would probably have trouble sleeping and eating. This is the flaw in etiquette and ethics."

Feng Quan rolled his eyes, stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Zicheng and said, "Your Majesty is so stupid, please give me some advice. How should we deal with the matter in Nandu?"

Seeing Feng Quan's words, Chen Mingxia, Wang Yongji, and Li Shichun also asked Li Zicheng for advice, and Li Shichun secretly tugged on the crown prince's back. Zhu Cihong then reacted, cupped his hands to Li Zicheng and said, "Please save me, uncle."

After Li Zicheng got up and helped Zhu Cihong up, he said to everyone: "Today, let me tell you the truth. I don't really care who is the emperor in Nandu. My current enemies are the Manchus in the north and the Manchus who surrendered." Therefore, as long as the south can provide me with food, fodder and military pay, then I will recognize the decisions of the southern provinces."

Li Zicheng paused at this point, and Chen Mingxia immediately answered: "If what your Majesty wants is this, then I think that only the crown prince sits in the southern capital, and the supplies from the southern provinces can be continuously transported north. King Fu, Ma Shiying and the four towns They will only take Jiangnan's wealth as their own, and then expand their army to resist His Majesty. Your Majesty can learn from you."

Wang Yongji was from Gaoyou, and he didn't want his hometown to be involved in the flames of war, so he also said: "Chen Baishi is right, the prince knows your majesty's benevolence, and also knows that the emperor did not die at the hands of your majesty. But King Fu, Ma Shiying and other rebellious ministers must regard His Majesty as the murderer and resist His Majesty sending the Crown Prince back south in the name of avenging his father. What happened today is not about the Crown Prince alone, but also related to His Majesty's plan, please think again..."

Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry that I will make peace with King Fu and give Cihong to him. Of course, you can't expect that I will send all my troops to the south to attack Nandu. That will only benefit the Manchus. I have some ideas, but I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?"

Chen Mingxia, Feng Quan, and Wang Yongji replied to Li Zicheng with one voice: "Your Majesty has just said, and the ministers must obey."

Li Shichun also brought the crown prince and eldest princess to agree after them, expressing their willingness to obey Li Zicheng's orders.After taking a look at the crowd, Li Zicheng said calmly: "First of all, it is absolutely inadvisable to go to war between the North and the South at this time, so we can't push the Nandu side into a hurry and force them to fall to the Manchus, then we will be in trouble.

Therefore, we should talk to Nandu and give them an acceptable condition.For example, first let Fu Wang go to the title of emperor and restore his status as supervisor of the country.Then give the ministers and towns in the south a chance to re-select the crown prince, such as calling officials and clans from the southern provinces to pay homage to the emperor and discuss the issue of the ownership of the throne.

As long as these two things can be achieved, the four towns will have a chance to loosen their ties with King Fu, and they may not meet us for the sake of King Fu.In addition, Zuo Liangyu can also send someone to contact Yi Er. He did not support Fu Wang to ascend the throne, so he can be the prince's help. "

Chen Mingxia suddenly came to his senses, and opened his mouth and said: "Hou Dazhen is in the camp, he has a good relationship with Zuo Zhen, I should invite him to Wuchang to help the prince Zhang Shi. Also, Huang Zhen came from the Beijing camp, and the prince wrote a handwritten letter, so it may not be impossible to call him Guardian."

Wang Yongji also nodded and praised: "The four towns only heard that Gaozhen and Huangzhen had quite a few battles. Liu Liangzuo and Liu Ze had no military achievements except for clearing the defeat and disturbing the people. If Huangzhen and Zuozhen support the crown prince, the two may not meet each other. The wind makes the rudder, only Gao Jie's troops..."

Wang Yongji suddenly stopped talking. Of course he had heard about the grievances between Gao Jie and Emperor Yongchang, so he couldn't even say anything to win over the other party.Li Zicheng just smiled, and said: "It's just a little grievance in the past. At present, state affairs are the most important thing. If Gao Jie is willing to return to the right way, I will not make things difficult for him..."

Li Zicheng stayed in Shuiguan Station for nearly two hours, and after eating in the station, he went around the city at night to the Hanguan Station at the south gate.It is indeed as Yan Jie said, it is more magnificent than Shuiguanyi, and it is also very good to watch the starry sky in the north from the Guangchuan Tower. The sky in this era is much clearer than that of later generations, and even the stars look like Much closer.

After Li Zicheng finished washing, he watched the starry sky upstairs for a while, and then walked into the bedroom on the second floor, but found that there seemed to be someone in the room.He was just stunned for a moment, and found that there seemed to be a woman in the room, so he couldn't help walking in.The second floor of Guangchuan Building can actually be regarded as a suite. After Li Zicheng lived here, the second floor was naturally used by him alone.

He was just curious about what kind of woman was sent here. Since he traveled to this world, someone has never been close to a woman. Although this fits Li Zicheng's image in the past, the generals below are not willing to let Li Zicheng be so clean.

How can a woman give birth to a son?Without a son, who would they be loyal to?If it is said that when we evacuated from Beijing, everyone was in a panic, wondering if Emperor Yongchang could stand up again this time, then everyone's hearts will be at ease after the Tianjin War.Although His Majesty Yongchang has set many rules for everyone, after seeing the bright future of Dashun, everyone thinks that it is a good thing to have stricter rules. This shows that His Majesty Yongchang really does not want to be a thief, so everyone will really be the hero of the founding of the country, right? ?

It's just that Emperor Yongchang has no heir yet, which makes them very uneasy.Although Li Zicheng has younger brothers, adopted sons, and nephews, none of them can replace him and win the support of the whole army, but as long as Li Zicheng gives birth to a son, everyone can support the same person without a doubt, and internal strife will be avoided.

Therefore, since Tianjin went south, all the generals have hinted at this problem to Li Zicheng, and now they send women directly to his bed.Li Zicheng opened the gauze curtain to look at it, but a few red candles illuminated Chen Yuanyuan in red makeup. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's you? I thought they were sending some beauties over."

Chen Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the bed, was a little flustered at first, but when she heard Li Zicheng's words, she suddenly became angry. She got up with a cold face and said to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty doesn't look down on concubines." The posture of the pu willow in the body, the concubine is just resigning."

It's just that when she passed by Li Zicheng, she exclaimed. It turned out that Li Zicheng gently hugged her waist. Chen Yuanyuan, who was lying in Li Zicheng's arms, was a little shy under Li Zicheng's unscrupulous gaze, and subconsciously closed her eyes. Said: "Please Your Majesty have mercy..."

Chapter 99

The spring night was short in the hibiscus tent, and someone thought that he felt the power of the sunlight shining into the room in the early morning not long after he closed his eyes.However, Chen Yuanyuan in her arms was like a piece of nephrite jade, her body was extremely cool, which made someone praise her.

Chen Yuanyuan also woke up from a deep sleep at this time, and she felt much safer cuddled in Li Zicheng's arms. Ever since she heard that the Shun Army was marching towards Beijing, she became a little panicked in the capital.Although she also lived a life of ups and downs in the south when she was young, compared with the chaos in the north, the south is simply a prosperous age.

After Shunjun entered the capital, she really fell into a life of involuntary control. Although she was also bound by the family rules of a wealthy family in the uncle's mansion, and lived a life of not going out of the door, at least her life was guaranteed. , and the fate of women in the war is tragic.

She didn't have a good impression of Li Zicheng at first. After all, the other party ruined her life. Even if she was a sexist, the concubines in the uncle's mansion were much better than the concubines of the merchants, at least they would not be sold to others easily.

However, from Huangtuzhuang to Tianjin, she was left by Li Zicheng's side. She has changed her opinion of this man. Although his appearance is not good, his knowledge surpasses many people she has seen, and he is willing to respect her. She couldn't help but feel happy.

Since she became famous, people who have come to see her are only because of her beauty, but no one has really respected her, even if she is familiar with articles and has written good poems, but the attitude and treatment of men towards her is a rare thing. There is no essential difference in the attitude of the fine porcelain.

In their eyes, she is just an exquisite plaything. The so-called getting her favor is more like a game than admiration. She spends her youth trapped in a brothel.

It was only by Li Zicheng's side that she really felt respected, not because of her reputation and beauty, but because of her talent.It is precisely because by Li Zicheng's side that she can live like a person instead of a plaything, she is willing to be sent into this house by those generals, otherwise she is unwilling in her heart.
