Chapter 628: The Great West Republic
Zhang Xianzhong is dead!
Very irresponsible to die!
I don't want to learn from Li Zicheng to pretend to live, but I don't want to have a son...... It's okay if he doesn't have a son, but he doesn't even have a big nephew who watched him grow up!
What's even more irresponsible is that Zhang Xianzhong doesn't even have a serious wife! When he was the emperor in Chengdu, he married Fang Niangzi and became the queen, which was the daughter of Chen Yan Chen Ge who wanted to vote for Li Zicheng and couldn't succeed, but slaughtered the sacrificial flag. A teenage girl, fresh and tender, if she is still alive, she can be a "Queen Mother of the West". But Zhang Xianzhong, the devil, got tired of playing with others for more than ten days, and let people strangle Queen Chen to death......
This is not the most irresponsible, the most irresponsible thing is that Zhang Xianzhong did not appoint a successor before he died!
He, the Western Taizu, is dead, who will do it in the Western Taizong? He has four adopted sons, each of whom has the ability to do it, and each of them has a vote.
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong swallow his breath like this, the four adopted sons were all dumbfounded, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to do?
Now that the Great Western Kingdom is in turmoil, it looks like it's about to end, and the brothers don't even dare to fight infighting!
"Or, let's kowtow to the old long live first," Zhang Kewang opened his mouth first, "and then ask that Wu Xiaolian to find a coffin to pretend to be long live the old man, how many of our brothers will sum it up?" ”
"That's it......"
"It's all up to my brother."
"Then let's kowtow to the old man Long Live Ada."
Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi didn't have any opinions, so the four of them lined up in front of Zhang Xianzhong's corpse, came to bow three times and kowtowed, kowtowed, and called Wu Xiaolian, who was guarding outside, instructing him to find a good coffin, and put it on Zhang Xianzhong first - Zhang Xianzhong is also the first emperor now, and the funeral is certain, but it can't be buried in Luoyang. Because Luoyang is no longer guarded, and Dolgon is good at digging graves and fighting......
While Wu Xiaolian was looking for the coffin, the four brothers opened it together in front of the corpse of Zhang Laosui who was not yet cold.
Zhang Kewang spoke first: "Since the old man said that he would not pretend to live, then they can't work hard for him anymore." But the kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day! Now that the old banzai is gone, who will call the shots in our big western country? ”
When he said this, he was actually waiting for others to support him!
He is the eldest of the four adopted sons, and the eldest brother is like a father......
But there was a dead silence in the room. Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi didn't speak!
Zhang Kewang's face became more and more pale, and the atmosphere became more and more depressed, and he didn't know how long it took before he heard Zhang Dingguo whisper: "Why don't we brother call the shots together?" ”
What?
"One piece in charge?" Zhang Kewang had a calm face, "Engage in four emperors?" That is, the Great Emperor, the Second Emperor, the Third Emperor, and the Fourth Emperor? ”
Zhang Wenxiu shook his head: "It's not appropriate to engage in four emperors, right?" ”
"Not suitable, absolutely not suitable!" Zhang Kewang nodded again and again, looking at his good brother Zhang Wenxiu with expectant eyes.
Zhang Wenxiu continued: "Or...... We don't want the emperor, we don't want any of them. ”
Don't be the emperor...... Zhang Kewang's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.
Zhang Kewang asked coldly: "Don't want the emperor, do you want the Great Western Kingdom?" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Nengqi nodded, "How can Da Xiguo not want it?" That's what Lao Banzai left to us. ”
"What is the name of the head of the Great Western Kingdom?" Zhang Kewang asked.
"Let's call the lord of the country!" Zhang Dingguo said, "It is called the lord of the big country, the lord of the two countries, the lord of the three kingdoms, and the lord of the four countries." ”
Or four...... Zhang Kewang was still unhappy, and his face was silent.
Zhang Wenxiu looked at Zhang Kewang, then at Zhang Dingguo, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you have one lord and three kings...... Big brother, you should be the lord of Daxi, and the three of you should also be the king of Dingbei, the king of Anxi, and the king of Funan. Military affairs, our brothers together. ”
When Zhang Xianzhong was the emperor for the first time, he once made the four righteous sons king, Zhang Kewang was the king of Pingdong, Zhang Dingguo was the king of Anxi, Zhang Wenxiu was the king of Funan, and Zhang Nengqi was the king of Dingbei. Among them, Zhang Kewang also has the official positions of Zhuguo, Taishi, supervising the army, and controlling civil and military affairs, and is above the kings and ministers.
In addition, the four kings also have the names of General Pingdong, General Anxi, General Funan, and General Dingbei, and are regarded as the four commanders of the Great Western Army.
At the same time as canonizing the four righteous sons, Zhang Xianzhong also set up the governor of the five armies and the three governors of the navy, and the army was divided into 120 battalions, and also set up four guard battalions to divide the military power of the four righteous sons.
However, as the Great Western Army left Sichuan and entered Shaanxi, the situation of military struggle became increasingly severe, and Zhang Xianzhong had to let the four righteous sons hold more power. Therefore, most of the military power of Onishi is now in the hands of the four righteous sons.
Zhang Dingguo nodded: "This method is good...... There are already three emperors in the world today, one is the emperor, one is the emperor, and one is the prince of Fujun. Let's do something else in Daxi, and let's have four kings to rule together, one king is the main one, and the three kings are supplemented. ”
Zhang Nengqi also said: "The four kings are cured together, there are things to discuss together, but it can't be like when Lao Wansui was alive......"
Zhang Kewang sighed, there was no way! Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi all have heavy troops. If they can't unite with themselves, the Great West Kingdom will have to be scattered.
"So where do we go next?" Zhang Kewang asked again, "I'm afraid Luoyang can't stay......"
"Back to Guanzhong!" Zhang Dingguo said, "Didn't you say it before you left?" I want a few of my brothers to hold together with Li Guo. ”
The current situation is completely different from when Zhang Xianzhong died in Phoenix Mountain in history, when Nanming was dying, Dashun had collapsed, and the Qing Dynasty had the weather of dominating the world.
If the rest of the Great West wants to establish a base in the southwest, cooperation with Nanming is the first choice. On the one hand, Nanming still has a lot of influence in the southwest Tusi Haoqiang; On the other hand, Nanming no longer has a strong armament, and must rely on the rest of the Great West to barely survive.
But now, the Southern Ming and Northern Qing Dynasty are still evenly matched, and the Southern Ming even has the upper hand. If the rest of the Great West takes refuge in the Southern Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to maintain its independence and occupy a certain amount of territory.
After Dashun retreated to Sichuan, he still occupied a lot of territory, and gradually stabilized the situation by taking advantage of the main force of the Ming army and the Qing army.
In this situation, it is natural for the rest of Daxi to choose to live with Dashun.
Zhang Kewang frowned: "Back to Guanzhong? Go fight with Wu Sangui again? ”
"Fight with him!" Zhang Nengqi gritted his teeth, "Come and take the lead, it's a big deal!" ”
Zhang Dingguo shook his head: "Don't be impulsive, we still have to make a good calculation...... Wu Sangui is powerful, and it is not enough to rely on hard work. ”
Zhang Wenxiu said: "Do you want to surrender?" ”
"Surrender?" Zhang Dingguo frowned, "Can he believe us?" ”
Zhang Xianzhong has a bad record of fraudulent surrender, can Wu Sangui still be fooled? Besides, Zhang Xianzhong's gang fought in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum! Now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a twenty-five filial emperor, how can he spare Zhang Xianzhong's remnants?
In addition, Wu Sangui is a usury, and he also pointed to the black and black, and ate the income obtained from Zhang Xianzhong's years of robbery! How could it be possible to agree to the surrender of the remnants of Onishi?
"Then let's borrow it!" Liu Wenxiu has an idea again.
"Borrow?" Zhang Kewang asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to Sichuan to vote for Li, no, vote for Li Zicheng." Zhang Wenxiu said, "We have to enter Hanzhong from Dasanguan....... borrowed a way from Wu Sangui, and Xi'an Mansion was his reward. ”
Zhang Kewang said: "Aren't you afraid of the calculations of the surname Wu?" ”
Zhang Wenxiu said: "I'm afraid he won't calculate!" ”
"How?" Zhang Kewang asked.
Zhang Wenxiu snorted and said, "Wu Sangui doesn't dare to let Xi'an Mansion not occupy it...... He has to be sealed as the Tongguan guard in order to be assured to be his king of the northwest. Otherwise, Donglu will squeeze into Tongguan again, and he will have to go to Donglu as a grandson. And his sister-in-law is now the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, can Dolgon still tolerate him, the uncle of the Ming Kingdom?
Therefore, he must score the elite to occupy Xi'an and Tongguan, and there are fewer soldiers who can be used to plot against us! ”
