Nanjing Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Cihong slowly flipped through the copy of Zhu Shuaiqin, the lieutenant of Fengguo of the Qing Domain, and his mood was extremely complicated.

On 27 April, the squires of Dezhou, Shandong, headed by Lu Shiyi, Zhao Jiding, Li Zanming, Cheng Xianzhen, Xie Ma, Ma Yuanluo, and others, suddenly attacked and cut off the officials stationed in Dezhou by Pseudo-Shun in one fell swoop. They jointly promoted Zhu Shuaiqin, who was exiled here, as the leader of the alliance, pretended to be the king of Ji, and called on the sons and daughters of Shandong to make trouble anyway.

Zhu Shuaiqin wrote in the text: "Do not send a descendant of heaven, cut the monarch's relatives, drive in Decheng with taxes, and be quick to be vicious. Wen Wujun is still six feet lonely, and there is more than one percent of the world. Shi Sima traveled to the south of the Yangtze River as a whole, and he went hand in hand; Wu Zongrong Yang Saibei, the Qing soldiers coerced the Han generals to drive together, and there were many victories, and many parties responded. Knowing Kuang is not far away, and knowing that there is a period of prosperity. In the play, Xinshi and Pinglin swept away Yu Hanzu, Siming and Qingxuchou shook Fu Tangji, and the monstrous evil will perish, and the spirit of Yi's ancestors has not fallen. Together, we will see the prosperity as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Shuaiqin took office on 27 April, two days after Zhu Cihong ascended the throne. However, considering the speed of information transmission during the Ming Dynasty and the blockage of north-south traffic at this time, it is understandable that Zhu Shuaiqin did not know that Zhu Cihong had ascended the throne.

Historically, Zhu Shuaiqin issued a letter at this point in time, calling on Shandong and Hebei Erlang to go anyway, and soon recovered Shandong Dezhou, Jinan Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Linqing Prefecture, Wuding Prefecture, Gaotang Prefecture, Binzhou, Haifeng, Putai, Zhanhua, Laiwu, Lingxian, Leling, Lijin, Jiyang, Shanghe, Qidong, Le'an, Chaocheng, Enxian, Pingyuan, Deping, Linyi, Yucheng, Yangxin, Wucheng, and Ningjin. Hejian Mansion, Daimyofu, Jingzhou, Jizhou, Cangzhou, Wuqiao, Gucheng, Wuyi, Jiaohe, Xianxian, Wuqiang, Dongguang, Raoyang, Hengshui, Qinghe, Quzhou and other places in Beizhili.

At this time, the situation was very favorable to the Southern Ming court. It's a pity that the Hongguang court at that time was worried that the reception of Shandong, Hebei and other places would cause the Qing Dynasty to be angry, so it turned around and beat them, so it refused to take a step out of Jianghuai, let alone give Zhu Shuaiqin any support. Until June 21, the army led by Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu approached the city of Dezhou, and Zhu Shuaiqin still led the army to resist. In the end, because the strength of his subordinates was not as good as that of the Qing army, Zhu Shuaiqin led his troops to surrender.

During this month, the Hongguang court did nothing, and watched the Manchus take over Shandong, thus losing its strategic depth.

In this time and space, Zhu Shuaiqin's recovered prefectures and counties in Shandong are probably the same as in history, and the situation in Beizhili is much worse, except for a few places such as Daimyo and Cangzhou, most of them are still under the control of the Shun army. Of course, soon the Manchu Qing Dynasty took over the entire Northern Zhili, and the two enclaves of Daimyo and Cangzhou could not be spared.

The situation in Henan was a bit more complicated, and at this time western Henan was in the hands of Li Zicheng. The three prefectures of Huaiqing, Zhangde, and Weihui north of the Yellow River were under the control of the Manchus. The rest of Henan's prefectures and counties are mostly controlled by bandits and bandits, large and small warlords.

Of course, Zhu Cihong will not repeat the mistakes of the past, compared with Henan and Hebei, Shandong's geographical location is more important, whether it is to intercept the Qing army's southward march or the northern expedition in the future, it is a must-take place.

In Zhu Cihong's mind, the importance of Shandong is greater than that of Henan and Hebei. Judging from the current situation, Shandong is also the easiest land to recover in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But now Zhu Cihong has not fully integrated the forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the new army has just begun to drill, and the troops it can mobilize at this time are the "private soldiers" in the hands of several warlords.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong felt that he should still be stronger at this time, at least not to chill the people of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Cihong said majestically: "Xuan Xuzhou General Soldier Gao Jie came to see you." ”

Immediately, there were eunuchs who conveyed the will of the Son of Heaven at the first level, and Gao Jie, who had already been waiting for His Majesty in Fengtian Temple, hurriedly followed the inner servant up the steps.

At this time, it is already May (lunar calendar), and the weather in Nanjing is unbearably hot. Gao Jie's official robe was already soaked, but he couldn't care so much at the moment, and respectfully followed behind the inner attendant, until he stepped into the main hall of Fengtian Palace, he still couldn't believe what had happened.

The Son of Heaven will summon him personally!

In the Ming generation, except for the founding fathers, the military generals were basically suppressed by the civil servants.

This was especially true at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is common for a third-rank military general to kneel down to a fifth-rank civil official. Any imperial historian can scold the generals, and order the entourage to take down these Qiu Ba and beat the board.

In this case, the generals naturally trembled. Rao is the chief soldier, but he is just a foil for Wenchen.

Wenchen can see His Majesty, can resign, and can enjoy the honor of meeting the Son of Heaven, but it is basically impossible for military generals to meet.

Although Gao Jie became the chief soldier in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was never summoned by the Son of Heaven. It was because the new monarch summoned him this time that he was so excited.

Entering the main hall, Gao Jie immediately pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to the ground, and saluted: "Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Xuzhou, greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Zhu Cihong raised his hand slightly and said, "Aiqing is flat." ”

Gao Jie stood up tremblingly, but he didn't dare to look up.

Although he saw Zhu Cihong in Huai'an Mansion just a month ago, Zhu Cihong was still the crown prince at that time, but now he has ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, which is not the same.

Especially in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City, the majesty of the royal family is even more vivid, Gao Jie only feels short of breath, and he may faint at any time.

"Come on, give Gao Qing a seat."

Zhu Cihong's next words made Gao Jie almost faint with happiness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Soon a little eunuch placed a brocade pier in the hall, and Gao Jie thanked him and sat down carefully.

After thinking about it, he couldn't understand why the Son of Heaven summoned him alone. Even if the Son of Heaven wants to ask about military affairs, shouldn't he also ask those Shangshu and Pavilion Elders? After all, the operation of the temple is a matter for civil officials, and the generals only need to obey the civil officials to fight.

"Gao Qing came to take a look at this text."

Zhu Cihong glanced at the eunuch, and the little eunuch immediately respectfully accepted the copy of the text, and then walked quickly to Gao Jie's side and handed it over.

Gao Jie took the text and looked at it. Although he was illiterate in his early years, he also invited a master to teach him to read and write after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and now he knows the basic characters.

At first, he looked at this article with a calm demeanor, but he could see that his eyebrows had been twisted together at the end.

Zhu Cihong saw all this in his eyes, and said lightly: "I have made up my mind, and the imperial court will immediately send an army to Shandong to take over the prefectures and counties anyway." Gao Qing thinks that who should I send? ”

ps: Zhu Shuaiqin's Qin character is actually a fire in the middle, because it is a character made by the old Zhu family himself, and it can't be typed, so it is replaced by Qin. Thank you for my 200 coin reward, and thank you for the 100 coin reward of SHAJIA and shenyu06331~
