The efficiency of the Ming court under Zhu Cihong's control is sometimes surprisingly high! The decree of the crusade against the Donglu and the king of the first to enter the swallow was drafted in only one hour, and then it was released to the world!

By the way, the one who entered Yan first was not the king of Yan, it was the king name used by Zhu Di, and it could no longer be sealed. Therefore, the king name that those who enter the swallow can get is "King of Beiping".

At the same time, an edict was issued to change Beijing to Beiping and Beizhili to Beiping Province, which was the original name of Beizhili before Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing. Now that he is going to be the "king of Yan", he naturally can't treat Beijing as a Beijing master anymore.

The speed of the decision-making process this time made Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne learning how to be an emperor, dumbfounded.

Even such a big thing as canonizing the vassal king, this rebel can decide in one word, if the rebel wants to usurp the throne, will the ministers also agree?

In addition, the rebel son really recovered Beiping...... Is it enough to accumulate the prestige of usurping the throne? Am I still going to be the emperor?

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know at this time that the so-called "King of the First Swallow" was simply a deceptive subject!

Relying on Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Xu Dingguo, how could they enter Yan first? If they are not entered, they will burn high incense. Therefore, just relying on the empty check of a "first to enter the swallow king", they will not send troops at all.

Even if the situation north of the Yellow River looks good now, and the Dashun army continues to play triumphant songs, a few of them will not consider sending troops.

"Chengguo Gong, look at the old man like this, where can he be a vassal king? Moreover, there are not many soldiers and horses under the old man's command, the equipment is not ready, and the food and salary are insufficient, so he can't send troops......"

In Suizhou City, the capital city of Guide Mansion, Yuan Shangshu Mansion (the residence of the late Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of War) poured bitter water on Zhu Chunchen, who came to announce the decree, and it was a burly white-bearded old man.

This old man's name is Xu Dingguo, who used to be the chief military officer of Shanxi, but he was defeated by Li Zicheng in the third Kaifeng battle, and he was arrested by Chongzhen because of the defeat, and almost killed Yizheng military law. However, he later went out and was pardoned for capital crimes, asked him to return to Henan to convene the old department, and also sealed an official position to aid the Henan General Army.

When Beijing was broken by Li Zicheng, Xu Dingguo was stationed in Suizhou, and once called Li Zicheng a vassal, but soon mixed up with the Ming Dynasty anyway, and was also named a commander-in-chief of the town guard by Zhu Cihong. However, the territory is only Suizhou, and the soldiers and horses at hand are a few thousand people larger, and the king of Beiping or something, it is indeed not something he can touch.

Zhu Chunchen nodded with a smile, and turned his gaze to another chief soldier in the lobby of Yuan Shangshu's Mansion - Liu Liangzuo, who had just been appointed by Zhu Cihong as the chief military officer of Henan.

Liu Liangzuo occupied half of the territory of Guide Mansion and half of Kaifeng Mansion, and the general army yamen was located in Shangqiu, the capital city of Guide Prefecture.

This time, it was because of the invitation of Zhu Chunchen and Henan Governor Lu Daqi that he left Laochao Shangqiu and came to Suizhou.

For the king of Beiping or something, he also has no interest in it. The reason why I came here was just to deal with Zhu Cihong, the prince of Fujun.

Zhu Cihong is not the Hongguang Emperor in history, he has a land division and a water division in his hands, and an army of 100,000 can be pulled out!

This is a real deal, and there is no vacancy for 100,000 people. It's not something that a character like Liu Liangzuo can fight head-on at all.

And now the Tartars and the Liukou are fighting so lively, you fight Shanxi, I come to Hebei, I am very busy, no one has the time to meddle in the affairs of Henan and Shandong. Even if Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo want to join the Tartars, there is no way out now! Their territory is in Henan, and the only way to invest is to invest in Li Zicheng.

"Cheng Guogong," Liu Liangzuo said with a coping smile, "Xia Guan is not the material to be a prince...... And the soldiers and horses of the lower officers are not ready, send troops or something, I think forget it! ”

Governor Lu Daqi on the side listened to the words of the two military leaders, and just sighed vigorously.

People say that Prince Zhu is treacherous, but today it seems to be an exaggeration. How can the bait of "King of Swallows" catch guys like Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo, who are better than monkeys? It's better to give some silver.

Zhu Chunchen smiled, laughing so much that Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo, who were present, were a little stunned. What does this Cheng Guogong mean? Angry or what's wrong?

"Benjue open the skylight and say something!" Zhu Chunchen smiled and took out two more envelopes, "King of Beiping or something, I don't have your share...... You don't have that strength! ”

It's not a good thing to say, but it's true.

Zhu Chunchen paused and looked left and right.

Old man Xu Dingguo understood what he meant, and waved his hand to make the people waiting in the hall retreat.

Zhu Chunchen said: "Don't hide it from the two, there are already people who want to be the king of Beiping!" ”

Someone?

How can it be?

Who has that much ability?

This time, not only Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo were taken aback, but even Lu Daqi didn't expect it, and looked at Zhu Chunchen in a daze.

Zhu Chunchen just smiled: "Who is that person, you two can understand it if you think about it...... Now who can give the Tartars a fatal blow at the critical moment? Whoever can give the Tartar a fatal blow is qualified to be this king! And ye say, Who is this man? ”

"Wu Sangui!"

"Pinxiber!"

Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo immediately understood, and both exclaimed.

Lu Daqi was also taken aback, looked at Zhu Chunchen and asked, "Chengguo Gong, ...... about this?"

Zhu Chunchen said: "This matter is of course! Chitose Ye is Ping Xibo's brother-in-law, and he wanted to crown Ping Xibo as the Duke of Jin before. And Ping Xibo was trapped by the Tartars, so he had to shave his hair and lower the Tartars, and he was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty in his heart! This time there was an opportunity to fight back, and he naturally had to seize it. And Chitose Ye will not treat him badly, how can a king with a different surname not be sealed? ”

Lu Daqi nodded and said, "If you really have such a merit, you can be crowned king!" ”

Zhu Chunchen touched his beard, "Yes, the Liukou was defeated by him when he lured him in...... If Donglu is driven out by him again, he is really the first hero since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he should be crowned king! ”

He glanced at Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo, and handed over the two envelopes, "This is the edict written by the Chitose Lord to the two chief soldiers. ”

Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down to receive the edict, and then opened the envelope on the spot, took out the letter paper inside, and looked at it. First surprised, then happy, then suspicious.

It turned out that Zhu Cihong informed Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo of Wu Sangui's upcoming counterattack in the letter, and asked them to send troops to cooperate! also promised that after the matter was completed, they would be crowned one of them as a duke.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also bluntly threatened them in the letter, if they did not cooperate with the action, they would be deprived of military rights and sent to prison for punishment! He also said that he would soon lead 100,000 troops north to Fengyang Mansion, the central capital...... You two just take care of it!

It seems that this thing can't be faked!

Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo really believed it - of course this thing is fake, Wu Sangui was firmly watched by Azig, where did he dare to fight back? If there was such a thing, Zhu Cihong would not tell Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo!

These two are not good people, both are suspected of being tartary, if the news is leaked to Dolgon, wouldn't it be a big deal for Wu Sangui?

Zhu Chunchen looked at Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo with a smile, and said with a smile: "You have also seen the edict of the Chitose Lord, if you don't send troops, when you will send troops, give Benjue a quasi-letter!" ”

The old man Xu Dingguo put away the edict written by Zhu Cihong, and said to Zhu Chunchen with a smile: "Grandpa, the old man has few soldiers, only 10,000 (in fact, only 8,000), and he can't leave Suizhou, at most 5,000 troops, and he can set off within three days." ”

As he spoke, Old Man Xu glanced at Liu Liangzuo flatteringly.

Liu Liangzuo also put away the letter, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, the lower official will send 15,000 troops, and he can send troops from Shangqiu within three days." ”

Zhu Chunchen glanced at Lu Daqi, and Lu Daqi said: "There are two of them with an army of 20,000 going north to attract the attention of the Tartars. The two of them will be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty by then...... The official does not have many troops in his hands and cannot send troops with the two, but the official has 50,000 stone of grain in Bozhou, which can be used as military food for the two of them, and they will be transported later. ”

"Then thank you Futai!"

"The old man also thanked Futai."

The two military leaders didn't expect that behind the 50,000 stone military rations, there was also a conspiracy......

Zhu Chunchen smiled: "Although the general soldiers of Fengyang and the general soldiers of Xuzhou can't leave, they will send their troops to the north, and the general soldiers of Shandong will also send troops...... The five general soldiers join forces, and they will definitely be able to give the Tartars a good look! ”
