The civil and military officials outside the main hall looked at Emperor Dashun, who had changed into a crown robe, walked in front of them step by step, and walked into the Wuying Hall on the stone steps with their knees covered.

At this moment, Emperor Dashun, who is full of dreams and looking forward to ascending the throne, is already full of passion in his heart! Only the unaware ministers were still staring and waiting, until Emperor Dashun slowly walked up to the hall and sat down.

However, before they could react, they saw a celebrant and eunuch beside them shouting loudly in the palace: "When the dragon enters the political hall, all the officials kneel!" ”

The voice was transmitted by the eunuchs, according to the rules, it was still the fourth rank and above entering the palace, and the officials below the fourth rank were all kneeling outside, and the former Ming vassal kings who were threatened with knives by the Shunjun guards and the Ming crown prince Song and the three princes.

The civil ministers and military generals who had just entered the palace were still bowing their heads, and there were eunuchs who passed the holy decree to the eunuch of the Dashun Division: Du Xun, who began to read out the text of the founding ceremony of the Dashun Imperial Court, and read "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict; Today, the Dashun army has been in Beijing for a long time, and the people should be in harmony with the will of heaven, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are united, so I feel that it is the will of heaven, and I am specially crowned with the ceremony of the Son of Heaven, and the founding name (Shun) and the year name "Yongchang" I will live up to the expectations of the people and work hard to reorganize the mountains and rivers, and give the world an amnesty, and I will do this! ”

After the holy decree was recited, the ministers in the temple were all very surprised! But before they could react, the generals of Dashun had already clasped their heads and raised their hands to flatter: "My Emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, the ministers and others see His Majesty the Emperor, may Your Majesty live long live, long live, long live!" ”

In this way, Emperor Dashun: Li Zicheng officially ascended the throne and was crowned emperor in the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City of Gyeonggi, Beizhili, and became the emperor of the Central Plains. 〉

The former Ming ministers who were dumbfounded on the side had to bend down to flatter their heads, including the ministers outside the palace, the vassal kings, and the three princes were all held hostage by the Shunjun guards.

Only Prince Song, the crown prince of the Ming Emperor, did not bow his head, let alone bend down, but raised his head and pointed to the steps of the palace gate of Wuying Palace, and scolded: "Damn, bold Li Thief and others let Gu come out at night, just to buckle your head and help you ascend the throne and rebel?" Alone can't do it! Don't want to let Lone kneel for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guards of the Shun army around him immediately pulled out their swords and pointed them at His Royal Highness Prince Song, the crown prince of Ming!

This scene can scare the surrounding ministers stupidly, some loyal ministers hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade the Shunjun guards, and also pulled the Ming crown prince Prince Song to make him soft, but is this his style?

But it is said that it is better to be broken than to be broken!

Resolutely not to obey the Li thief, never bow to them, in desperation, under the persuasion of several ministers' private chats, the Shunjun guards had to take His Royal Highness Prince Song, the crown prince, down.

The enthronement ceremony continued, and Li Zicheng, who was crowned as His Majesty the Emperor of Dashun Tianzi in the main hall, began to recognize his ancestors and claim to be (the direct descendants of the party item Emperor Wulie of Jingzong of the Western Xia: Li Yuanhao, the direct descendants of the Xianbei Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tang Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and Xiazhou Jiedu Envoy: Li Sigong, both; Tuoba Sigong, the descendants of the descendants. ）

Also posthumously crowned Emperor Shenwu of the Western Xia Dynasty: Li Jiqian, for the ancestors and posthumously respected the ancestors of the seven generations of the Li family Kao Yan are all emperors and queens, after the holy decree was issued, Empress Dashun Gao changed into the most gorgeous dress in the harem, one of the crown clothes "Zhai Yi" wearing nine dragons and four phoenix crowns, clothing embroidered 12 Zhai birds, dignified atmosphere full of the queen's domineering.

followed by the concubine who was posthumously named Dou Meiyi by Emperor Dashun, who appeared in the Wuying Hall to bow and bow to her husband, which can be said to have given Emperor Dashun enough face, and also made him experience the feeling of being truly an emperor and being worshiped by 10,000 people.

But Emperor Dashun still feels that it is far from enough? Because he has now occupied the Central Plains, and the south is basically in the bag, does he have to announce a sacrifice to the heavens or something?

It happened that at this time, Xiang Yu, the former Ming Hanlin Academy, (the current Dashun Taichang Temple) stepped forward and proposed, "Your Majesty, since you are now crowned and enthroned, it is better to study your academic qualifications and go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, what do you think?" ”

The former Ming Shanxi Inspector who surrendered in the palace, and the current right attendant of the Dashun Military Department: Li Zhisheng, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is probably inappropriate to recognize Mount Tai as a Zen seal!" Since ancient times, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty have been sacrificed to the Han Dynasty before going to the big event, and our dynasty has just been established to stabilize the north, so the sacrifice is undoubtedly a big taboo! I'm afraid it's not good for the imperial court and the country? ”

Having said that, Emperor Dashun had a plan in his heart, called the sacrifice of Mount Tai! In fact, it was in this name that conquered the Ming people of Shandong Chengxuan to return to obedience, so Emperor Dashun directly suppressed the opposition of the courtiers and gave Dashun Taichang Temple the opportunity to replace him with the title of Zen, but he was not named Qincha! Instead, let him go and sacrifice in his official position.

This also caused dissatisfaction in the heart of Dashun Taichang Temple! But he still bowed his head and accepted this errand, seeing that the Dashun court did not reuse himself, Dashun Taichang Sicheng began to have his own ideas, not to be Wei Zheng of the Dashun Empire, nor to compare himself with Guan Zhong, but chose to leave quietly.

The next day, on the official road of Chengdu Prefecture, the official secretary of the Chengxuan Political Department in Sichuan, a man riding a horse, wearing a cloth armor and carrying a flag raised his whip and galloped away quickly.

In the courtyard of Chengdu Mansion, a person wearing a red suit and a man wearing a blue suit was walking in the back garden while looking at the scenery, and the man in the blue suit said, "My lord, this phalaenopsis blooms very luxuriantly, it is simply fragrant!" Looks like you must have a good omen this month? ”

But the man in the red suit asked solemnly, "Don't be a sycophant, Ben Fu asked you how the guards of Chengdu Mansion have been doing recently?" ”

As soon as I heard this, the person in the blue suit was a little panicked! But he still frowned and replied, "Everything is fine, but part of the garrison has been recruited by His Royal Highness Prince Rui to the Department of Honor and Guard of Prince Rui's Mansion." ”

After learning of this, the man in the red regular clothes began to look nervous, and he heard someone come to report the news: "Lord Governor Qiqi, there is an urgent letter, please take a look." ”

The governor of Sichuan in front of him: Chen Shiqi, hurriedly took the letter and opened it to look at it, and showed a surprised expression on the spot?

The man next to him was very curious? He couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, what happened?" ”

The governor of Sichuan handed him the letter, and the man was surprised when he read it, "What! This group of thieves actually attacked Chongqing Mansion! It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Chengdu Mansion approached, and the governor suggested that troops should be immediately prepared to resist. ”

As soon as the words fell, the governor of Sichuan ordered: "Deputy Envoy of Guannan, you will go with Benfu to garrison Tongluo Gorge, the eastern gateway of Chongqing Prefecture, and transfer the Chengdu General Army: Hou Liangzhu, and go to Chongqing Mansion to rescue together. ”

At the same time, the king of Onishi: Zhang Xianzhong, after breaking through Fuzhou in Chongqing, began to divide his troops to go up the river from the waterway, and the king of Onishi himself led the infantry to walk 150 miles on foot on the mountain road, and broke through Jiangjin County and plundered the boat down the river.

Approaching the military stronghold of Chongqing Mansion "Fotu Pass" to the Western Governor of Great Xi'an: Li Dingguo, detoured to the flank and went to the east gate to ambush the Ming army in Tongluo Gorge from the rear, because this is the only way to go to Chengdu Mansion, the Ming army will definitely set up an ambush, and the Western Governor of Great Xi'an also wants to take this opportunity to see how the strength of the Ming army is?

Of course, in order to ensure security, the Ming army united with the Ming Fuzhou generals: Zeng Ying, Ming Sichuan Chengxuan Zheng Si Sichuan Dongzuo to participate in politics: Liu Liangchang, Ming Fuzhou left wing general: Li Zhanchun, Ming Fuzhou right wing general: Yu Dahai, and the Shi Yan Xuanfu Sichuan Army White Pole Soldier Corps in Chongqing Prefecture to help.

But at this moment, Mrs. Ming Yipin's edict and Shizhu Xuanfu Division also knows: Qin Liangyu is gathering troops in the barracks to lead the troops to resist the southbound thief army, and there is no extra force to disperse!

A Ming army equipped with self-made firearms in Zhongzhou, Chongqing Prefecture, approached the bandit barracks with the Daxi banner, led by a man wearing an eight-petal hat and helmet with a flag, he slowly stretched out his head to look at the situation, and visually measured the distance between the woods and the slope and the bandit barracks.

Then he waved his finger and asked the Ming soldiers behind him to shoot the "Divine Fire Flying Crows" prepared in advance at the sky.

The thieves who were suddenly attacked were a little ignorant?

Before they could react, another group of musketeers fired at them in a three-fold formation, and the thieves were caught off guard.

The frightened Onishi Chungju General Soldier: Zhai Rongli, hurriedly ran out of the camp tent and shouted, "What's the matter? Where did the enemy army come from? ”

The two Onishi infantrymen who ran over with their heads down replied, "If you go back to the words of the chief soldier, it seems that the Ming army is coming?" ”

This made the general soldier of Onishi Chungju laugh! He smiled and said, "It is impossible for the Ming army within a radius of 100 miles to be expelled south, so what else is the Ming army?" ”

At this moment, in the distance, a female general riding an armored war horse, wearing silver-white chain mail, wearing a bowl and feathers, and a red cloak pulled out her bow and let go of the arrow with a hundred steps, making it quickly break through the wind and rush to the side of the general army of Onishi Chungju.

The sharp arrows pierced the Onishi infantry who reported the battle situation on the spot, making the thief generals terrified!

Here, Mrs. Ming Yipin's edict was very domineering, and she raised the "white pole gun" with a hook blade and commanded: "The soldiers of the Shizhu Propaganda Division follow the capital, rush!" ”

The brave stone pillar Tusi Ming army began to march from the original formation (five-fold array), both; The first heavy 651 people, divided into infantry knife matchers, the second heavy 1953 people, divided into fire gunners to switch weapons in close combat, the third heavy 3255 people, divided into archers long-range suppression, the fourth heavy 4557 people, divided into shield soldiers and hammer soldiers to protect the flanks of mobile troops, the fifth heavy 5859 people, divided into artillery and cavalry halberd team.

The white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army, the stone pillars, and the Tusi Ming army of the five-fold array, when they approached, the soldiers of Onishi couldn't parry at all! Many of Onishi's gunners were killed on the spot before they could reload their guns.

Only a handful of Onishi firecrackers held three-eyed guns and fired at the Sichuan Army's white pole soldiers, but they were resisted by the fourth shield soldier, so that the Sichuan Army's white pole soldiers successfully approached the barracks and rushed in to assassinate the thief soldiers.

Among them, Ming Yipin ordered Mrs. Zhao to kill the enemy the most fiercely, and on the horse rampant all the way to kill, stabbed to death dozens of thieves and infantry, and also broke the neck of a thief general, exterminated the Onishi army stationed in Chungju, and successfully opened the passage connecting Kuizhou Capital.

At the same time, after the discussion of the civil and military officials, the Nanzhili side was afraid that the situation would change, so he proposed to let Prince Mingfu: Zhu Yousong, first be the "prison of the country", and then perform the sacrificial enthronement ceremony to serve the mouths of the people, which is also the time to give him a chance to perform.

After all, if you are going to be the emperor, you will definitely perform a little better, so the officials of the Donglin Party will definitely not be able to say anything wrong? Therefore, the governor of Ming Fengyang, Ma Shiying, who supported the line of Prince Mingfu, in order to prevent the Donglin Party from opposing this matter, directly summoned the general soldiers of Ming Luzhou, Jing Nanbo: Huang Degong, Ming Fu Wangfu Honor Guard: Gao Jie, Ming Anqing General Soldier: Liu Liangzuo, Ming Shandong General Soldier: Liu Zeqing, and other generals hurriedly led troops to guard the four gates of the Imperial City of Nanzhili Ying Tianfu Nanjing City, and some of the troops directly tried to draw into the city, lurking in the Wuying Palace, once the ministers dared to oppose it, they would be killed after retreating!
