Chapter Ninety-Six: Empress Mukden

If Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming army were not born, the rich Jiangnan would have become the most important source of wealth for the Great Qing State after this southern expedition, and the vast number of Humen had also been controlled by the Great Qing State, so no matter what kind of defeat suffered on the battlefield, the Great Qing State with Jiangnan and Huguang was basically invincible.

Dolgon was such a terrible figure, and although the shaving order delayed the conquest of China by several decades, it also made the Qing dynasty the only Hu dynasty to rule for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, Liu Yongxi knew very well that when he was marching west to Jiangxi and Huguang, Dolgon would never stand still!

This is the real enemy of the Yue Ming Chengtian Dynasty!

And Mrs. Xing heard Liu Yongxi's evaluation and gave a suggestion: "Then do you want Chen Yuan to guard Xuzhou?" At the beginning, he performed very well in Jiaxing Mansion."

Chen Yuan's performance in recent months has been very good, and more importantly, he is also from Gao Jie's old department and has a very close relationship with Mrs. Xing, but Liu Yongxi shook his head and said: "Wait for the Jiangbei armies to take Xuzhou and then consider this problem, the key depends on who performs better in the Battle of Xuzhou!" ”

Although Chen Yuan is very good at using troops, Xuzhou, as the most important northern town of the Chengtian Dynasty, must not only be very outstanding in military affairs, but also outstanding in all aspects, and the Jiangbei armies must also have a commander-in-chief.

Liu Ru now understands Liu Yongxi's intentions, but she can't open up some ideas, so she just helps Liu Yongxi change the topic: "Your Majesty means that this western expedition will take at least three months!" ”

Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "It shouldn't take more than three months to take Jiangxi, but it will take so much time to take Huguang, and you have to be careful of Zhang Xianzhong!" ”

Mrs. Xing immediately asked: "Then after we take Huguang, what should Zhang Xianzhong do if he sits in Shuzhong and waits to be killed?" ”

Liu Yongxi replied very clearly: "The ancients said that if Zhang Xianzhong sits and waits in Sichuan, then we have to learn the story of Taizu and Ming Yuzhen!" ”

Liu Yongxi not only wants to learn the story of Ming Taizu's destruction of Ming Xia, the key is that in the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, Sichuan, Henan, and Shaanxi can be said to be the heaviest places to kill.

But such a kind of compassion Liu Yongxi could only bury in the bottom of his heart, and Liu Ru immediately laughed: "Your Majesty really has the ambition to clarify Liuhe's sweep of the United States, so Xuzhou must send a real tiger to guard Your Majesty's calm westward expedition." ”

But Liu Ru still has doubts in his heart, the Qing Dynasty suffered such a heavy blow in Jiangnan this year, will Dolgon still have the courage to march south?

As for the loyal battalion troops of Jingzhou Prefecture, they can finally give up the "Yongchang" era name that has always made them anxious, and use the "Chengtian" era name instead.

Of course, this Chengtian year name is not perfect, there is a Chengtian Mansion not far from Jingzhou Mansion, which is the place of Emperor Jiajing's Longxing, so Emperor Jiajing deliberately changed to Chengtian Mansion after ascending the throne, but now since it is Emperor Chengtian sitting on the dragon chair, then the place name "Chengtian Mansion" is not very suitable, so the enthronement edict clearly changed Chengtian Mansion back to the original name Anlu Mansion.

It's just that there are similar name changes on the side of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they also feel that the name of Chengtianfu is a little inappropriate, so they also changed it back to Anlu Mansion, and the most critical thing for the remnants of the Dashun Army is to take the opportunity of Emperor Chengtian's accession to the throne, and they were able to officially seal the title of marquis.

In the past, there were only a few counts in the Yue Ming Dynasty, such as Tianmen Bo Xing Shengping and Beigu Bo Zhou Zhisheng, and even Liu Kongzhao, as Liu Yongxi's biological father, had to be crowned the Duke of Chengguo, and it was naturally impossible for the Dashun Army to be knighted directly.

However, although the Yue Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the name and position, it did not mean that the meritorious ministers should be treated harshly, and this time the Chengtian Emperor ascended the throne, and all the meritorious ministers had the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of knight.

Whether it is a civil official like Zhu Dadian, Zhang Guowei, Tong Yili, Lu Zhenfei or a military general like Wang Zhiren, Zhang Huangyan, and Zhao Zhijie, they all ascended to the sky in one step, and these generals of the Dashun Dynasty can finally abandon the original title of the Dashun Dynasty and use the new title given by the Chengtian Dynasty.

For the remnants of the Dashun Army, although they played the banner of the Yue Ming Dynasty, they always had such and such worries, but now they see that they are treated equally with the meritorious ministers of the Yue Ming Dynasty and are being named marquis and uncle, so they are naturally finally relieved.

In the past, Li Guo had always opposed cooperation with the Yue Ming Dynasty, but now that he was named the Marquis of Xingguo of the Yue Ming Dynasty, he was naturally overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is so wise and martial, presumably the cause of Zhongxing will be successful." ”

And Gao Yigong was equally happy, but he didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by Li Guo: "That's not only His Majesty Emperor Chengtian, but also my brother-in-law, with my brother-in-law sitting in the southern capital, the mountains and rivers of the Han family will be able to prosper!" ”

Although Empress Dowager Gao and Liu Yongxi have not met yet, Gao Yigong has already regarded himself as a relative, and he immediately invited Empress Gao out: "Sister, today is a day of great joy, don't you say a word!" ”

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't think of what she could say, but when she saw Gao Yigong's encouraging eyes, she felt that she had to say something, after all, since her titular husband Emperor Chengtian had ascended the throne in Nanjing, then she should be the empress's mother, but the edict did not state this.

This is not a thief queen of the family, but the queen mother of the Chengtian Dynasty, and she is already the queen mother, so she finally mustered up the courage to say: "Nandu is Empress Yi'an Zhang of the Ming Dynasty Yingtian Prison State Bingzheng and Empress Pingzhu of the Ming Shuntian Prison State, so what name should I be?" ”

In a sense, this is still playing at home, but when the Empress Dowager Gao said this, the generals present did not react, but the civil officials were interested: "Niangniang said it well, Niangniang said it too well, it really should have a name!" ”

"Although such a name is needed, don't cut it first, you must ask Your Majesty for approval!"

"As long as Your Majesty agrees, it will be justified!"

Now the official name of the Empress Dowager Gao is "the Governor's Five Provinces Military Affairs Empress Dowager and Yipin Zhenyi Lady Yue Princess Agency", but in these civil officials who have just been attached, it is a bit unjustifiable, after all, it is the Empress Dowager of the Dashun Dynasty and the Lady of Zhenyi Yue Princess, and they always feel that the name of this "Yue Princess Agency" is a little inappropriate with Emperor Chengtian.

Someone immediately thought of the name: "Since it is Yingtian, Shuntian, and Chengtian No. 3 are used together, it is a matter of course that there is one more Fengtian Empress!" ”

"Yes, yes, the honorific title of Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty is excellent, although you can't add honorific titles like Jianguo and Bingzheng, but you can think about other honorific titles!"

"The honorific title of Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty is indeed good!"

Now Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, these generals are also full of energy, although they seem to feel that the most glorious time of the Dashun Dynasty, everyone is planning a bright future after entering Beijing, and now just the Dashun Emperor has been replaced by the Ming Fengtian Empress, but there is not much difference from the scene at that time, and when the Chengtian Emperor dominates the world, they have an endless glory and wealth.

Of course, some people are worried that the Great Shun Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are enemies of destroying the country, but after thinking about it carefully, they feel that it is not a problem at all, the Chengtian Dynasty is not the world of the Zhu family, but the world of the Liu family, and they follow Emperor Liu and Empress Gao to fight the world without worrying about Emperor Zhu's problem at all.

Just thinking about it carefully, they all feel that these civil officials are right, as long as the matter of "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" is done, they are the people of Emperor Liu and Empress Gao, and they don't have to worry about any historical issues at all, and they have become extremely enthusiastic about this matter, and Gao Yigong is even more active: "My sister should be the Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty, Yingtian, Shuntian, Chengtian, and Fengtian are all together, and the Chengtian Dynasty will definitely be able to dominate the world!" ”

This is a good sign, but when everyone was talking, suddenly a messenger from Sichuan reported bad news: "The villain has seen the governor of the five provinces, the military affairs of the princess Gao Niangniang, and the generals, governors, Daotai, and Futai, the villain is on the order of General Yang Zhan to inform the generals, the big western thief Zhang Xianzhong can't gain a foothold in Sichuan, and is ready to march eastward into Hubei, and the first step out of Sichuan is to seize Jingzhou Mansion!" ”

Whether it is Queen Gao or the civil and military officials below, they were all surprised, although in history the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army had a honeymoon period of cooperation, but most of the time the king did not see the king, and after the defeat of the Dashun Army in Shanhaiguan, Zhang Xianzhong and the Dashun Army completely turned face, but no one thought that the Dashun Army finally lived a good life in Jingzhou Mansion for a few days, and Zhang Xianzhong was going to smash everyone's jobs.

Although Empress Gao has always been cowardly and has no opinions, she knows very well that if Zhang Xianzhong wins, her "Empress Fengtian of the Ming Dynasty" will definitely not be able to do it, so she was the first to stand up and say: "Since Zhang Xianzhong has brought about his own destruction, then let's not talk about any feelings!" ”

And the civil and military officials below also have the same feeling, they finally won such a piece of land in Jingzhou Mansion There is such a chance to be promoted to the rank of knight, Zhang Xianzhong actually jumped out to grab the land and smash the job, so naturally he can't bear it anyway: "The eight kings dare to come, let's chop him into eight sections!" ”

"Zhang Xianzhong dares to come to Jingzhou, no matter how many soldiers and horses he brings, we will kill them cleanly!"

"You marquis may have some friendship with Zhang Xianzhong in the past, but now it is a life-and-death relationship, please don't show mercy!"

"Please rest assured that Futai and Daotai are now official soldiers, and we will definitely spare no effort to kill thieves!"

Only Tian Jianxiu, who has always been generous, asked a very critical question: "Central Sichuan is said to be the country of abundance, why can't Zhang Xianzhong stand on his foothold and want to go eastward?" ”
