I have to say that Liu Ximing's Central Plains newspaper is too powerful.

The news, which might have taken more than ten days or even months to spread across Jiangnan, took only a few days to reach it.

The Nanjing Imperial Court's Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ministry of Rites and other departments were originally unconcerned that their boss did not come to work, but when the newspaper spread, combined with Huang Daozhou's identity, a smart person went to investigate, and only then did they find that Huang Daozhou and others had already fled.

Not only him, but there were more than 60 officials in Nanjing who left without saying goodbye in one day, including Lu Daqi and other Sichuan officials, as long as their butts were clean, they basically ran away.

It can be seen the power of Zhu Cihong's orthodox word.

However, as Ma Shiying said, Liu Ximing's announcement that he would investigate the corruption of officials in the former dynasty was too lethal, and most of the people in the Nanjing court were suddenly frightened.

Ma Shiying and the others secretly laughed but didn't know that Liu Ximing and the others were also secretly happy.

Liu Ximing is not a fool, how can he not know the problems of these policies, but this is the result he wants.

If a large number of former ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty pour in, Zhu Cihong will have a helper all of a sudden, and although he can control it at that time, I am afraid that just like Prime Minister Cao Cheng at that time, he will have to kill a few waves of people.

Now only Liu Zongzhou and others have come over, and with the new-style imperial examination that Liu Ximing is about to personally preside, the Zhengxing Dynasty will soon be full of Liu Ximing's people.

How many people in the world can pass the three subjects of Chinese language, mathematics and Gewu, in addition to the Liu family system?

At the same time that Jiangnan was in a hustle and bustle because of Zhu Cihong's accession to the throne, the Beijing division in the far north also entered the earthquake.

On June 25, under the cover of Wu Sangui, Dolgon commanded the Jianyu cavalry to suddenly cover from both flanks, breaking Li Zicheng's army.

Li Zicheng fled back to Beijing in panic, and after the ceremony of proclaiming the emperor on behalf of the Ming Dynasty was hastily held in Panhuan of the Beijing Division, he hurriedly packed up the seized goods, and hundreds of thousands of people in the Dashun army left the Jingshi who had been easily obtained and retreated to Shanxi.

The Tartars led by Dorgon picked up a big bargain in such a grand manner.

On the first day of the seventh month, Dolgon led an army of 100,000 troops into the capital smoothly.

The remnants of the Chongzhen Dynasty civil and military officials once again staged a scene of surrendering with open chests and hands, kneeling to welcome Dolgon and his entourage into Beijing.

Although Li Zicheng set fire to the Forbidden City when he retreated, he only burned down part of the side hall, so Dolgon asked Fulin, who inherited the throne of Huangtaiji, to discuss the relocation of the capital.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, one day later than Jiangnan, Dolgon also got the Central Plains Newspaper with local characteristics of Beijing.

Unlike the calmness of Ma Shiying and the others, Dolgon was terrified at this time.

"This Ming Prime Minister Liu Ximing is really my confidant and enemy of the Qing Dynasty!"

In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, Dolgon sat directly on the Chongzhen Dragon Chair and roared.

Among the people in the palace, Abahai is Dorgon's brother, and although the two are not on good terms, they will not pinch him for these things.

As for Duoduo and the others, they are either his brothers or people with white flags and white flags, and they are Dorgon's descendants, so Dolgon naturally will not be worried.

Dolgon raised the Central Plains newspaper in his hand, and said with a palpitating face:

"This fang actually took my Daqing to talk about things, if it is really as he said, the whole Ming Kingdom regards us as a big trouble, then what else can we talk about entering the Central Plains?"

On the Jinluan Palace, the old ministers of Chongzhen who surrendered to Taqing couldn't help laughing.

Among them, there are hundreds of people such as Wu Sangui, Feng Quan, Tian Weijia, Wang Duo, Song Quan, Jin Zhijun, and Dang Chongya in Qianlong's biography of the second minister.

At this time, Wu Sangui had already faded the clothes of the Han family, changed to Jianyu's Hu clothes, and the bun on his head had been shaved off, replaced by Jianguo's classic money rat tail.

There is a small braid in the middle of the bare head, and the shaved blue scalp on both sides still tells the original appearance of the owner.

As soon as he heard Dolgon's words, Wu Sangui immediately smiled and came out.

"Don't worry, the king, from the perspective of the ministers, the Wuchang court is not enough to worry about, as soon as Liu Wujiang's order came out, it has already cut off the possibility of Emperor Zhengxing returning to Beijing."

In fact, Wu Sangui's current position is very embarrassing.

Because when he was in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui attacked Li Zicheng to the Manchu beggars under the banner of "revenge for the emperor's father".

But now that Zhu Cihong has regained the throne in Wuchang, his banner of "revenge for the emperor's father" has become unjustifiable.

By the way, Dolgon and others in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were also a little helpless at this time.

Since Dolgon led his troops into the customs, the Hebei area was simply looking at the wind, and a big reason for this was that the Manchu Qing Dynasty also came in under the banner of revenge for Chongzhen, so the local gentry did not resist.

Now that Zhu Cihong has come out like this, everyone is a little worried, and the local people are even more wait-and-see.

Therefore, seeing Wu Sangui come out to speak, Dolgon's attitude became a little more affectionate.

"What does Mr. Wu think I should do in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Vigorously publicize what Liu Wujiang said in the Central Plains Daily, especially the abolition of science and the abolition of the official gentry's refusal to pay food, so that the official gentry in various places will inevitably regard the Zhengxing Dynasty as a snake and scorpion."

"In addition, the king can also order people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the crown prince Zhu Cihong has already died in Beijing, and the pseudo-prince who is in Wuchang is deliberately supported by Liu Wujiang, so that the world may be able to wait and see."

"Hahaha, good, good strategy", Dolgon was immediately overjoyed.

In the Jinluan Palace, no one noticed that there was a person standing on the left side of the minister in the hall with a light flashing in his eyes.

This person is Cheng Taiding, who was promoted by Liu Ximing to be the one in the household department.

Before the destruction of Jingshi City, Cheng Taiding originally wanted to retreat to Wuchang with other officials of the Datong Society, but Liu Ximing kept him in a handwritten letter.

Datong Society's activities in the DPRK have always been low-key, no one expected that Cheng Taiding would be Liu Ximing's person, plus he also followed the trend to descend Dashun and then Manchu, and at this moment he is already in the same boat with everyone in the palace.

Seeing a shameless person like Wu Sangui performing in the palace, Cheng Taiding's fist hidden under his sleeve clenched tightly.

But thinking of Liu Ximing's entrustment, Cheng Taiding did not open his mouth to refute anything in the end.

On the throne, Dorgon was once again in high spirits.

"Azig and Duoduo listened to the order, and quickly sent a large army to conquer Li Zicheng's troops, and must clear the Dashun thieves in the area of Beizhili within the month, and then send a large army to break through Wuchang."

"Honorable Order!"

~~~

Just near the mouth of the Jingcheng in Beizhili, Li Zicheng's troops, who had retreated to this place, also received news from Wuchang.

Standing on the calf village and looking at the Hebei Plain to the east, Li Zicheng felt a pain in his heart.

"I regret it, I don't want the situation to collapse in my hands, what face do I have to see my dead brothers? This Liu Ximing is really a hero, and he can even help the prince to ascend the throne, and the world is going to be troubled again. ”

Just between the mountain passes at the foot of Li Zicheng, the 200,000-strong army of the Dashun Army was carrying and carrying a large amount of gold and silver captured in Beijing to the direction of Shanxi.

Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others have also become disgraced now, and they are no longer full of spirit when they first entered the Beijing Division.

This dream of being the emperor is like a demon mirror, directly revealing the virtues of the monarchs and ministers of the Dashun court.

Needless to say, Li Zicheng's virtue was instantly exposed.

Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others are too, either with a small belly or insidious and vicious, and then look at the faces of Liu Zongmin, the generals under their command, who killed and looted one by one, how can the Dashun army be undefeated.

However, at this time, Niu Jinxing and the others had not completely given up hope, and seeing that Li Zicheng was bold, Niu Jinxing hurriedly came forward to encourage:

"Your Majesty, how can there be a victorious general in the world, you don't have to worry about a gain or loss, I still have a few provinces in Dashun, as long as you are strong, you can't make a comeback, but the most important thing is that Your Majesty himself must have confidence."

Song Xiance also hurriedly said: "What Prime Minister Niu Cheng said is that Jianyu just picked up a bargain, and now that Emperor Zhengxing has succeeded to the throne in Wuchang, I'm afraid that the focus of Jianyu will also turn to them, so we can take a breather." ”

Li Zicheng was a hero, but he was so sad because he was hit, and now he was repeatedly admonished by Niu and Song, and his heart suddenly felt a lot better.

Looking at the vast Hebei Plain again, Li Zicheng's heart was full of pride.

"That's right, I'm a hero, how can I be trapped by these small setbacks, as long as you and I are the monarch and the minister, sooner or later the world will be surnamed Li."

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter from the calf holder.
