In the next few days, both Yuan Chengzhi and Chongzhen have become Song Yichen's students, and now Yuan Chengzhi's position has changed, at least he is no longer a supporter of Li Zicheng, he knows what road Chongzhen wants to take, although this road is hard, it may take a long time, but this is the real road for the sake of the people, and it is also the road that allows the Han people to stand on the top of the world's nations, if it succeeds, then there will be no history of humiliation.
Yuan Chengzhi knew that Li Zicheng could not do this, and although King Chuang said that the slogan was for the common people, his ambition was still obvious, that is, to be the emperor, even if King Chuang could be a good emperor, who could guarantee the quality of his descendants! In order for the common people to live a good life, it must be a revolution, not an ordinary uprising. Yuan Chengzhi decided to put aside his prejudices, and if Chongzhen really carried out reforms, then he would support him.
Song Yichen also told Chongzhen and Yuan Chengzhi about the difficulties encountered in the Hundred Days Restoration, so that they could prepare themselves, but they didn't expect this to inspire their fighting spirit even more.
When Chongzhen roughly learned the experience of later generations, and understood it himself, he decided to reform slowly, which was recognized by Song Yichen and Yuan Chengzhi, after all, if the reform was too ruthless at once, then there was only one way to perish. Then Chongzhen issued an edict to Song Yichen to give him the title of a concubine, originally he also wanted to arrange the duties of prime minister for Song Yichen, but Song Yichen refused, just kidding, he himself has a few catties and a few taels Song Yichen still knows, it's okay to move his mouth, he really can't go to conspiracies and tricks to engage in politics, Chongzhen didn't object to this, and after discussing the general countermeasures, Chongzhen began to act.
The first order was to let Yuan Chengzhi secretly go to Shanhaiguan, and put Wu Sangui under house arrest, get the military power in his hands, and use Yuan Chengzhi as the Jiliao Governor in an exceptional manner! The rivers and lakes shook, and Yuan Chengzhi was already the leader of the Green Forest Alliance of the Seven Provinces at this time, and they could not have imagined that Yuan Chengzhi had actually taken refuge in the imperial court, and some of them scolded Yuan Chengzhi, and they also stood strongly, they knew Yuan Chengzhi's life experience, and named Yuan Chengzhi as the Jiliao Governor, which was Yuan Chonghuan's position before! This proves that Chongzhen has the rhythm to rehabilitate Yuan Chonghuan! Yuan Chengzhi didn't care about these either, he was very grateful to Chongzhen, he didn't expect the other party's strength to be so big, he actually promoted himself to Jiliao Governor all of a sudden, and handed over Wu Sangui's military power to himself, you must know that this is the most elite army in the Ming Dynasty, he was still Li Zicheng's person before! If he rebels again, then Chongzhen really has no choice, after learning the news of Yuan Chengzhi, Yuan Chonghuan's old department also came to defect, these are people who can really fight!
After that, Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chengzhi, the governor of Jiliao, to lead his troops south, and everyone was stunned, was this the rhythm of fighting with Li Zicheng? But they were also very happy, fortunately, now the Manchus were too busy to take care of themselves, and only a very small number of troops could hold the Shanhaiguan. A few days later, Yuan Chengzhi led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to the capital, originally thought that there was about to be a big battle, although the number of soldiers and horses on Chongzhen's side was not as good as Li Zicheng, but everyone was cavalry, Li Zicheng's side was all infantry, and generally a cavalry was worth several infantry when fighting!
However, Chongzhen issued an edict again! The capital of the Ming Dynasty will be moved south, and the capital will be moved to Nanjing, which was the capital of Zhu Yuanzhang's period before, and Beijing was moved by Zhu Di. Who wants to die? At least the south is safe. Of course, there are many rich people who are reluctant to leave, they think that as long as they don't do much bad things, as long as King Chuang comes, it will be good to offer money, but they never expected that the night before Chongzhen left Beijing, their home was robbed! This is naturally done by Song Yichen, Chongzhen's reform needs countless amounts of money, nothing can be done without money, the Ming treasury has long been empty, although Song Yichen has a lot of money in his hands, but it is not enough for Chongzhen to spend, there are many rich households in Beijing, so they will take a fancy to them, anyway, this money is not as good as their own pockets will fall into the hands of Li Zicheng, of course he will not do anything to make enemies, and it will all be included in the jade! He didn't know how many things the jade bi could put in, but he felt that even if he took so many things, there was nothing in the jade space, alas, let's take it!
Tens of thousands of iron horsemen opened the way, Chongzhen's road was still relatively safe, and Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses didn't know where to know that Song Yichen was by Chongzhen's side, and they didn't dare to provoke Song Yichen. Some people say that he has three heads and six arms, some people say that he can fly to the sky, some people say that he looks like a monster, in short, he has been demonized, of course Song Yichen doesn't care about this!
After the relocation of the capital was completed, Chongzhen cleaned up some dissatisfied vassal kings with a thunderous momentum, of course, the help of Song Yichen and Yuan Chengzhi was indispensable. The assassination of Shenma was the simplest, and Yuan Chengzhi had a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and there were many people in the rivers and lakes who came to defect! Basically, the vassal kings and magistrates were caught off guard, and the south soon fell completely into the hands of Chongzhen.
Then it was time to accumulate strength, Chongzhen ordered the establishment of a science and technology park, summoned the world's skilled craftsmen to serve the imperial court, and gave a certain status to encourage commercial development and revive the economy. This would have been opposed by many people, but the matter of the previous vassal king also made a group of diehards dare not speak out, who wants to die!
When Chongzhen and Yuan Chengzhi were very busy, Song Yichen was very idle, he himself was not very fond of politics, and he was taking Ah Jiu on his honeymoon everywhere! When he passed by Wuyi Mountain, his eyes lit up, and he thought of what he wanted to give to his godfather! Although Grandpa God's status is very high, he can drink Da Hong Pao if he wants, but it will not be much, after all, the yield of the mother tree is so small! Now that he has a heaven and earth farm, he can plant Da Hong Pao in it, so that there are countless Da Hong Pao to drink! So with a wave of his hand, he unceremoniously planted the three big red robe mother trees into the Heaven and Earth Farm! From then on, there will be no big red robe in the blue blood world!
After sending Ah Jiu back to Nanjing, and after the two lived a shameful life of you and me for a few days, Song Yichen left the Blue Blood Sword World, but this time he didn't freeze the time, Ah Jiu knew that he could cross over, and he also told Ah Jiu that he had to prepare before taking Ah Jiu out of this world, and Ah Jiu was reluctant to leave his parents now, and he also knew that he could cross back at any time, and it didn't hurt to leave him for a few days, and he didn't say anything.
