Chapter 373: Admonition
Hong Chengchou, a big traitor, was killed, which can be described as very happy. All kinds of news rushed to report. It has also become a hot topic for people everywhere after dinner. scolded countless times, even if Hong Chengchou went to hell, it is estimated that he will not be able to rest in peace.
Zheng Zhilong soon gained a foothold in Taiwan, while the Dutch were driven away. However, Zheng Zhilong's soldiers and horses also suffered heavy losses, and almost half of the soldiers were killed in the reconquest of Taiwan. Fortunately, there is a blockade of the strait, which makes it impossible for Wu Sangui to attack Taiwan. You must know that Zheng Zhilong's naval force is very strong, although he lost a lot in the battle with the Dutch. But even the remaining half of them were much stronger than Wu Sangui's sailors.
Then, in July, the navy led the Korean army to attack the Japanese island of Honshu, and soon half of the island was occupied. The Yamato people continued to retreat eastward, and Hokkaido soon became their last base.
The Korean Peninsula was also directly recovered, and the Joseon royal family was deposed on the grounds of surrendering to the Tatars. This reason was enough for those Korean nobles to have no reason to object. Zhang Yuan then attacked Heilongjiang, preparing to annihilate the Tartars in one fell swoop. Zhang Yang led his Fire Phoenix Guard to expel the Mongols of the Horqin steppe tribe. Those Mongols were forced to retreat to Mobei by force. In Mobei, they met the Russians again, and a battle broke out between the two. Although the Russians were already armed with muskets, they were simply not enough under the charge of numerous Mongol cavalry. Those Russians were directly exterminated.
Dolgon led his troops and horses to fight against Zhang Yuan, the commander of the Northeast Expeditionary Division, while preparing to continue to flee eastward. Dolgon has not given up his desire to dominate the world even now. The lust for power corroded Dorgon's heart like a drug.
After expelling the Mongols from the Horqin steppe, Zhang Yang's Fire Phoenix Legion began to go to the place where Zhang Yuan was garrisoned, joined forces with Zhang Yuan, and attacked the Tartars again. Strive to solve this problem once and for all.
While the soldiers continued to push the border outward, Liu Xia also sent a steady stream of his officials to the newly occupied land. This is a declaration of sovereignty.
There are not many Han people in the northeast. The reason is that the Manchus did not let the Han people live in the past, and coupled with the killing and abuse of the Tartars before, the original Han people in the Northeast had already died almost. However, the land in Tohoku is notoriously fertile, and it would be a shame to lose it. So Liu Xia began to encourage those who did not have land to migrate to the northeast. As long as the land opened with your own hands in the northeast, it belongs to whomever it belongs. This order immediately set off a wave of immigration in various places.
However, most of them were landless displaced people. Those who had land did not go much. After all, compared to the distant Liaodong. It's better to be in the Central Plains. It's too far to go to Liaodong, maybe you can starve to death on the road, it's better to stay and guard your own one-third of an acre. As long as you can eat enough.
Because of Liu Xia's order, the historical invasion of the eastern part of the country occurred a hundred years in advance.
At present, most of the country has basically been recovered, and only a part of the remote areas has not yet been in the hands of the Pingbei Army. It seems that the world is about to be unified. Then a discordant voice began to sound.
"King XX should be welcomed back as the emperor, that is the Taizu lineage."
"You should welcome back a certain king as emperor, this is a wise lord."
Suddenly, some Ming Dynasty relics began to lobby everywhere again, and Liu Xia naturally couldn't let people ignore it. After all, he didn't fight this world alone, and those generals and ministers. If Liu Xia welcomes back a certain king like this, he becomes the emperor. So how would the ministers be willing? If Liu Xia became the emperor, they would be the founding heroes. Even if you are low, you can be knighted, and even if you are not knighted, you can get a lot of rewards. But if you find a random king to rank as emperor. Then the meaning is different.
Those who have benefited must have been those Ming Dynasty relics who were scattered everywhere, and these Ming Dynasty relics can be regarded as having the merit of supporting them. And these generals who have fought the world will be rewarded at most painlessly, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.
"You must not welcome back such and such a king as emperor."
"Yes, this world was brought down by His Royal Highness King Zheng, and His Royal Highness King Zheng should be allowed to ascend the throne and become the emperor. We can also be regarded as the founding heroes. β
"That's right, let's go into the palace to meet the prince and ask the prince to ascend the throne."
Soon, countless ministers in Luoyang City walked towards the palace, and the people who instructed them along the way exclaimed in amazement, thinking that something had happened again. Soon the people heard the news and went over to see what was going on. Suddenly, Luoyang was empty.
In the palace, Liu Xia was accompanying Bian Yujing in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and Liu Xing next to him was seriously practicing writing in the company of several maids. Liu Xia is now thinking about how to get these children to study seriously. Although they are only six years old. But as Liu Xia's child, Liu Xia had to think about their future.
"The country I have single-handedly won must not be inherited by an incompetent person. Even if it can't be passed on for thousands of generations, it can't be passed on to the second and it's over. β
At this time, a personal guard hurriedly ran into the house, knelt down in front of Liu Xia and said, "Return to the prince, it's a big deal!" β
"Big deal?"
Liu Xia wondered.
The guard wiped his sweat and said, "Lord Wang, hundreds of adults outside the palace are kneeling on the ground, and I ask the prince to promise them." β
Liu Xia suddenly frowned, thinking: What are these people going to do? Could it be that there is an opinion against this king?
"What did they make the king promise?"
The guard stammered: "Theyβthey want the prince to be the emperor!" β
"Smack!"
A maid next to her knocked off the inkstone on Liu Xing's table. Apparently shocked.
Not to mention the maid, Liu Xia was also very shocked, because these ministers had not discussed it with him at all before. It really surprised him to come here like this today.
However, Liu Xia knew that it was not the time to become the emperor, although it seemed that the world was peaceful and he would be unified. In fact, the dark waves are turbulent, and if you are not careful, the territory that has been beaten down may be torn apart. Without adequate preparations, Liu Xia could not be the emperor.
Liu Xia said: "You tell them, let them all go back." You are not allowed to do such a rebellious thing again. β
The guard secretly glanced at Liu Xia with some doubts, although he didn't know why Liu Xia was reluctant to be the emperor, but he still competently completed the task given to him by Liu Xia.
After a while, the guard ran out of the door and said to the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, "Rise up, all my lords." The prince asked the adults to please come back. In the future, it is forbidden to do such a rebellious thing. β
"What! The prince disagrees! One of the ministers exclaimed in disbelief. However, he immediately reacted and said in his heart: The emperors of ancient times were called emperors, and they only agreed to it after repeated requests from their courtiers. We've only asked for it once now. The prince will definitely not agree. Now, as long as we do it a few more times, the prince will definitely agree.
In fact, the other people present thought the same as him, so they still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Unless the prince agrees, I can't afford to kneel for a long time."
These ministers just said that they directly overwhelmed the guards. He'd never seen anything like it. The ministers present did not have Rui Junai and a few other important ministers, because they knew the actual situation better than these people, and they also knew Liu Xia's thoughts. So it didn't follow.
When the guards fed back the news to Liu Xia, Liu Xia knew that he couldn't come forward in person, and said, "You quickly go and call Lord Rui Jun to come and let him deal with it with all the powers." When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xindao: It's just right not to let me deal with it, those people can't beat, and they can't scold. I can't move or speak, it's really aggrieved, and it's just easy to throw it to Lord Rui.
After a while, Rui Junai came to the outside of the palace under the leadership of the guards, and when these people came to the palace, he Rui Junai knew, but he knew that Liu Xia would definitely not agree, so he didn't follow, not wanting to wade into such troubled waters. But he didn't expect that these people were pig brains, Liu Xia said to let them go, but he didn't leave.
