Three days later, after learning the news of the death of Yu Shujie and others, Zhu Guoqiang was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"It's a pity that I'm a tiger general, trying my life, all I did was just a piece of paper!"

A piece of paper!

For Zhu Guoqiang, the edict of the Zen position is just a piece of paper, and it is not a big deal. But for this piece of paper, he not only lost a tiger general, but also lost more than 1,500 officers and soldiers, and the loss must be described as heavy!

"Please also ask the general to inform the world of His Majesty's edict as soon as possible!"

"Exactly, the world cannot be without a king for a day, since Your Majesty has been martyred, please inherit the ...... of the general immediately" For a while, the tent was full of voices of persuasion.

It seems that for everyone, succeeding to the throne is the most important thing, but in the face of their persuasion, Zhu Guoqiang did not immediately agree, but shook his head and said.

"Now is not the time!"

Looking at the people who spoke out to persuade him, Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

"The most important thing now is to defeat Li Zicheng, otherwise even if he succeeds to the throne, how can he rest assured. Besides, now that there are all thieves, if they can't defeat Li Zicheng as soon as possible, I'm afraid they will definitely harm the Central Plains! ”

However, at the same time as making this decision, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"However, now we can send the edict to the whole country and inform the world."

Yes, he originally wanted to "usurp the throne" in the name of restoring the ancestral system, but it turned out that he Chongzhen was good and passed the throne directly to himself, which is also a good thing, at least with this edict, no one in the world will say that he is a usurper and seize power. It can easily win the hearts of the people all over the world.

But it's not so good to say, with this edict left there, wouldn't it also give those people a reason to surrender, so that naturally there is no reason to kill.

There's no reason to kill...... It's not cool!

Especially those Donglin "gentlemen", originally we had sharpened our knives, just waiting for them to jump out and accuse themselves of usurping, but now we have this edict...... Didn't they kneel as a matter of course?

In fact, even if there is no edict, those "gentlemen" will also kneel, but before kneeling, they will definitely invite the name and wait for the new monarch to appreciate their integrity, but they know that what awaits them will definitely not be high-ranking officials and Houlu, but white knives.

The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, maybe, but one thing is for sure, there is absolutely no place for them in the Ming Dynasty, even if they don't punish the nine clans, they will exile their nine clans overseas for the crime of rebellion, of course, it is natural to raid the family.

The stolen land can be distributed to the civilians, and the stolen money and goods can enrich the treasury, as for the people, when they go overseas, they can also contribute to the overseas colonization of the Ming Dynasty.

How nice is that.

But now Chongzhen's edict has disrupted Zhu Guoqiang's plan.

"Hey, what do you say?"

After shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Guoqiang really didn't know whether to thank Chongzhen or not, but although Chongzhen ruined his plan, he still said.

"Immediately escort the princes to Jinan, we must ensure their safety, they are the bloodline of the first emperor, and they must not damage ......"

In any case, Chongzhen at least has backbone, and for this point, Zhu Guoqiang will also leave his bloodline and ...... in the future You can be crowned overseas as the king!

Everyone left, but Zhu Guoqiang fell into contemplation, once upon a time, he had been waiting for this day to come, and now, when this day really came, in the face of the reality of the imminent yellow robe, Zhu Guoqiang's whole person fell into an inexplicable thought.

"Let's hope everything will be as I want it to......"

Zhu Guoqiang said to himself as he walked out of the tent. A few attendants followed from a distance, and he walked like this, and his mood was extremely complicated at this time.

It's 1644 in the Western calendar!

I will soon be in a yellow robe, and I will soon be the emperor, but then what?

What's next?

Advance the Industrial Revolution!

To advance the cause of colonization overseas, no, not colonization, but expansion, to promote the expansion of China again.

This expansion will be cosmopolitan, Southeast Asia, the Americas, India, Africa and even Europe, but wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the land of the Ming Dynasty......

As for Li Zicheng, Dolgon, and the Huang Taiji who didn't know his life and death, Zhu Guoqiang didn't have any interest at all, they were just ringworm scabies.

When he was silently thinking about the countless possibilities in the future, suddenly, a cry interrupted his thoughts, and he looked down Xiao Sheng, only to see a person kneeling on the ground crying under the stars and moon, and there was an incense burner and a fruit bowl in front of him, obviously he was worshipping something.

Walking forward, Zhu Guoqiang saw who he was worshipping.

It's Chongzhen!

And it was no one else who worshiped Chongzhen, it was Huaiyang Governor Lu Zhenfei, when Zhu Guoqiang led his troops north, he also led five thousand township soldiers to the north of King Qin, and the two armies went north together after they converged.

"Oh, it's Shiro, what are you doing here? There is no news from His Majesty yet, why is this so? ”

Lu Zhenfei, who was worshipping the first emperor, hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was the general, he hurriedly asked for sin:

"The guilty minister has seen the general, although there is no news of His Majesty, but since His Majesty has passed on the throne to the general, I think His Majesty should have been martyred, so the minister will ......"

"Hey, I'm sorry to see Shiro, but if there is no definite news......"

Without waiting for the general to finish speaking, Lu Zhenfei's tears flowed down again, and he suddenly knelt down and said:

"General, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!"

Looking at Lu Zhenfei, who suddenly knelt on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang asked.

"What do you have to say?"

"General, the minister thinks that although the general has no intention of inheriting the unification now, he should inform the three armies of the news of His Majesty's martyrdom and mourn for the first emperor, so as to stabilize the world."

Zhu Guoqiang said in a deep voice.

"Do you mean to mourn for the first emperor when the news is unknown?"

Lu Zhenfei kowtowed and bleed, and sobbed:

"General, the country can not be without a king for a day, since the first emperor is in the general, the general should inherit the unification, although the general is unwilling to inherit the unification immediately, but can be mourned for the first emperor first, so that the ministers of the world will naturally know that the new dynasty is a great general......"

Listening to Lu Zhenfei analyzing the benefits of mourning for Chongzhen, Zhu Guoqiang was still silent.

"Yes. Please think about it, although there is now an edict of the first emperor to pass on the throne, but there are still various feudal domains in various places, the edict of the first emperor in the order of the pro-vassal arch guard center, if the people who are not subordinate collude with the pro-vassals, thinking that the first emperor is mourning in the name of inheritance, and where will the general be, for the Ming Dynasty, the general should mourn for the first emperor......"

After Lu Zhenfei finished speaking, he knocked his head down, lay on the ground, and never looked up again.

At this moment, Zhu Guoqiang's heart fluctuated. Lu Zhenfei's words are not unreasonable, after all, the past of the kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty vying for the throne is vivid, even if there is this edict, if there are careerists instigating it, it is inevitable that there will still be people who inherit the unification beyond their means.

Although he knew that if someone did this, it would be a farce at most, and he could even take the opportunity to destroy a few vassal kings, but it was inconvenient for him to say what was in his heart, so he sighed softly and said:

"Alas, see Bai, you're right to be worried, well, it's not that I don't want to mourn for Your Majesty, but now that there is no definite news, I take the liberty of mourning for the first emperor,...... Hey, but with the heroic martyrs of the first emperor, I think that the first emperor will never humiliate his ancestors and let himself fall into the hands of thieves, and he will definitely be martyred, and it is natural for us to mourn for the first emperor. ”

After speaking, Zhu Guoqiang turned around and went to mourn for Chongzhen...... He died, and he could rightfully inherit the throne.

When Lu Zhenfei came back to his senses and looked up, he was the only one kneeling there under the dark moon and stars. However, his heart calmed down, and he finally got the opportunity to make what he wanted to say clear to the general.

As for the next, it's the general himself.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming dynasty has finally been saved. As long as the general mourns for the first emperor, and there is an edict from the first emperor. Even if someone has bad intentions, it won't make a climate.

The first emperor's move is wonderful. Now in this troubled era, only the general can hold the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, I thought of the scene summoned by the first emperor in Yuntai when he left the capital. I couldn't help but cry with tears streaming down my face.

"Your Majesty......"
