Chapter 108 [King Shun Becomes Emperor]

Wu Junzhen, who was thinking about the problem, slowly walked out of the door, and Liu Ruilin persuaded him: "In my opinion, eighty percent of this matter is related to the charm warbler, not to mention that this red and black silk thread is a bit like the robe she is wearing?" We just need to hold the handle to force her to show up, and we will understand the situation when the time comes. ”

But Wu Junzhen didn't have any way to lure her out, but Wu Junzhen based on his understanding of Yao Qiuyue, he didn't think His Royal Highness the county lord would be in any danger for the time being? If it really fell on her hands, then His Royal Highness the county lord is safe at least for now, and the wound on her chest should not have healed yet, and she was just casually bandaged by the doctor last time, so Wu Junzhen plans to investigate the pharmacy in the county to see if there is someone in the medical hall who came to see the wound?

The three of them went separately to look for it, and Ma Wei walked into a medical clinic and asked, "Doctor, dare to ask you, has anyone come to see you recently to buy medicine?" The doctor who was grabbing the medicine looked at him and shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen it! Liu Ruilin also walked into a medical hall to find the doctor who saw him, and asked, "Dare to ask the doctor, has anyone come to see the injury in our store in recent days?" The doctor waved his hand and continued to see the doctor.

Even Wu Junzhen visited several medical centers and asked for the same answer, and everyone said no! After looking for a long time without any results, when the three of them were desperate, Wu Junzhen walked into a medical hall with the hope of giving it a try, and it can be seen from the signboard of the store that this is a more kind-hearted medical hall, only to see the couplets on both sides of the pillar that read (I hope that people in the world are not sick, I would rather put medicine on the shelf, and criticize horizontally: the world is safe. Wu Junzhen strode forward happily, saluted with his hands very respectfully, and said, "I will meet the doctor of the medical hall below, dare to ask the medical hall if anyone has come to see the wound recently?" ”

Seeing that the doctor of the medical hall was very serious about counting the medicinal materials and didn't have time to pay attention to him, Wu Junzhen stood for a while and repeated the words, and the doctor of the medical hall put down the medicinal materials, looked at him and said with a smile: "Yo! I'm sorry, the old man is busy counting the medicinal materials, please forgive me for being lazy! Don't hide it from the son, there are really two injured people in our store today who came to let the old man heal. ”

Wu Junzhen immediately asked, "One of them is a woman?" But the doctor told him that both of them were men, and he thought that the doctor was a mistake? But the doctor said, "You can't be wrong! The old man has been a fortune teller for 30 years, and he will not be wrong to see the pulse, but there is no doubt that he is a man. Hearing this result, Wu Junzhen's train of thought was disrupted again! He guessed for a moment, could it be His Royal Highness the County Lord who Yao Qiuyue disguised herself as a man? Or was it her accomplice?

With all kinds of questions, Wu Junzhen continued to ask as if he was exploding a pot: "Dare to ask the doctor, do the physical characteristics of those two people still have an impact?" Can you tell us where they came from? The doctor thought about it carefully and replied, "How much impression do they have?" However, the other party did not explain the origin of the patient! The old man didn't know, but one of the men was seriously injured, and it is estimated that he will come to ask for medicine after the fifth day of the first month! After having this clue, Wu Junzhen decided to let the captain of Jinyi Wei and the pedestrian division wait for the rabbit to squat in the nearby teahouse, after all, tomorrow is the New Year, and there are more people on the street during this time.

On the first day of the first month of the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, the king of the West: Zhang Xianzhong, taking advantage of the fact that the garrisons of the Ming Empire were slackening their armaments during the festival, led his troops to march from Huguang Cheng to Sichuan Cheng, and took a boat along the Badong River from the mouth of Wushan Gorge to Zhai Tangwei, the capital of Kuizhou.

In the face of the sudden arrival of the Western Army, Ming Zhai Tangwei, the commander of Ming Zhai Tangwei, who had just left the city and was about to go home to eat dumplings, received a report from the soldiers: "Report, Commander of Qiqiwei, there is an attack by the thief army!" After hearing the news, he immediately went back to the Wei command post and ordered the alarm to be raised to defend the whole army against the enemy, but now it is the first month of the year, some Ming soldiers have already taken leave to go home, so there are not many Ming troops defending the city, only Ming Zhai Tangwei commanded one person to lead the whole city more than 300 Ming troops to resist.

And the king of the west bombarded the city wall with two attack cannons, and shot with 200 crossbowmen of the western army, and no one in the Ming army of Zhai Tang defending the city survived under the fierce attack of artillery fire! After the city was broken, the Western Army entered Zhai Tangwei and captured the Ming Kui Prefecture prefect: Sima Nong, and opened the treasury to extract tens of thousands of silver taels and distribute them to the Western soldiers, and also forced the Kuizhou prefect to ask for dozens of ships and planned to continue south from Daxikou.

Considering that the ship may not be able to carry so many people? He only took 30,000 people by boat through Yunyang County to Wanxian Wharf, and the moving Western Army fleet suddenly felt that the bow of the ship was shaking? And the water flow is very erratic, sometimes fast and sometimes slow? The king of the west in the cabin felt that something was wrong and sent someone to check the situation, but an investigation found that due to the heavy snow in winter melted in the river of Wanxian County, the water level in the nearby county town rose one after another, causing some highlands to be submerged and many rocks slipped down, so the ship often touched the reef, for the sake of safety, the king of the west decided to withdraw to the Kuizhou Mansion after the first month of the first month, and then said, when turning the bow of the ship, three small boats were unfortunately washed up by the water to the reef, and the ship was destroyed and killed.

At the same time, the new Shun king: Li Zicheng, held a banquet in the New Year in Xijing City, thirty long firecrackers hung up together, crackling outside the mansion exploded, the Shun army civil and military officials walked up step by step along the steps, and the officials in the hall of the Shun Wang's mansion talked and laughed while eating dumplings, and the new Shun king sitting on the throne picked up the wine glass in front of the civil and military officials to toast one by one, and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to Gu announce one thing?" ”

As soon as everyone heard that there was something to say, they gradually quieted down, only to hear the king of Xinshun announce: "From today onwards, our Dashun will also learn from the Ming Dynasty to establish the era name, and Lone and Zuo Fu They discussed for a long time and decided to use (Yongchang) as the name of the founding year of Lone King Dashun, no longer abiding by the Chongzhen year name, changing this year to the first year of Yongchang, and all official documents will use their year names." When the civil and military officials of the Shun army in the hall heard that they wanted to stand on their own, it seemed that the heart of the Ming Dynasty was clearly revealed, so they had to bow their heads and worship: "King Shengming!" Long live Dashun. ”

After shouting three times in a row, Shunjun Zuofu: Niu Jinxing, feel that the morale is high, and the best way to overthrow the Ming Dynasty at the moment is to call the emperor and establish a new regime, so as to replace the Ming Dynasty in charge of the world and command the heroes, the new Shun King felt justified and the generals asked for the crown, so he immediately ascended the throne and called the emperor, but because of the hurry, there was no clothing preparation, only to continue to wear the prince's nine-pearl crown dress and lead the civil and military officials to worship the emperor and pray to the heavens on the high platform in the Xijing City.

Formally established the Dashun regime and began to feud the vassals as [duke, marquis, uncle, son, male] the fifth-class lords, and also gave the Shun army commander generals: Tian Jianxiu, for the Dashun Zehou, Shunjun Xijing Weizuo Weiwu General: Gao Yigong, for the Dashun Linqu male, Shun Junquan general: Liu Zongmin, for the Dashun Ruhou, Shun army right battalion right standard Guoyi general: Liu Tichun, for the Dashun Guangshan Bo, Shun army right battalion general: Yuan Zongdi, for the Dashun Mianhou, Shun army left auxiliary: Niu Jinxing, for the Dashun Prime Minister, Shun Army Officials Langzhong: Yu Shangyou, for the Dashun Prime Minister, Langzhong of the Shun Military Industry Department: Xu Qiu, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Ministry of Industry, engaged in the Shun Military Industry Department: Gu Junen, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Ministry of Industry, and the left waiter of the Shun Army Household Department: Xiao Yingkun, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Household Department, and the Shun Army Household Department: Guo Fulong, for the left waiter of the Dashun Household Department, and the left waiter of the Shun Military Rite Department: Yang Yongyu, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Rite Department, and the Langzhong of the Shun Military Department: Wang Jiazhu, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Military Department, and the Shun Army Soldiers: Fu Chaosheng, for the left Shilang of the Dashun Military Department, and Langzhong of the Shun Military Criminal Department: Deng Yanzhong, for the Shangshu of the Dashun Criminal Department, and so on imitated the local institutions of the Ming Empire to establish the Weisuo military system, to manage the Dashun army occupied by the Ming Dynasty, from this moment on, the Dashun Emperor is no longer a rogue of the separatist side, but has become a new regime occupying the northwest to try to change the dynasty.

However, at this time, in the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace outside the Forbidden City, Ming Yizong is also convening the ministers to celebrate, the annual tributary ceremony in the first month, there are already rows of neat civil and military officials standing outside the hall, they are wearing red, blue, and green court clothes, and there are four guards with the mighty and domineering Son of Heaven standing around; Teng Xiang left guard, Teng Xiang right guard, Wu Xiang left guard, Wu Xiang right guard.

When the envoys of the tributary Ming Dynasty began to slowly enter the outer city from the Yongding Gate, due to the perennial plague and war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many Ming vassals who came to pay tribute this year! There are only four countries, namely the Ryukyu Sanghyeon County Mission, the Commander of Annam, Mo Mingzong: Mo Jingyao, the Mission, the Governor of Luzon: Crowe Nathan, the Mission, the Digura Comfort Envoy: King Talong, and the Mission (Donghu Dynasty), these four tributary envoys were counted and inspected by the Daming Mansion Military Guards outside the Zhengyang Gate.

Then it was allowed to enter the left and right doors of the Imperial City (Forbidden City) from the Chengtian Gate of the Inner City, where the Ming Jinwu avant-garde commander: Du Ling, checked and checked the documents of the envoys before continuing to pass, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and walked to the Zhaode Gate on the right until they came to the outside of the Imperial Palace and waited quietly.

After half a pillar of incense, the Great Tomorrow, wearing a crown robe and twelve chapters, and wearing a crown of Pingtian, walked up and sat on the dragon throne in the main hall, and he asked the eunuch Wang Chengen, the Ming priest and the eunuch beside him: "Have all the tributary missions arrived this year?" ”

The eunuch of the Ming Division, the eunuch Bingbi, walked over in small steps and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it seems that there are many fewer tributary missions this year than in previous years!" As soon as Ming Yizong heard that the tributary envoys were decreasing, he was a little angry, and he slapped the case heavily, which frightened the Ming Si Rite Eunuch Bingbi and hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty is angry!" Could it be that other tributary missions encountered something on the way to Beijing that delayed them? ”

Having said that, Ming Yizong was still furious and said: "They must have seen my Ming Empire, and they will not come to pay tribute when they are in turmoil, internal and external troubles, and what do they say after I calm down the world?" ”

Then the eunuch Bingbi asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to announce the tributary envoys to the palace?" Ming Yizong thought for a while and felt that there would be no other envoys coming, so he waved him out of the hall to announce the official start of the annual tributary ceremony.
