Chapter 122: Enthronement

In terms of class contradictions, Henan is the place where class contradictions are the heaviest.

There is no room for détente on both sides.

It can be said that the two sides fought bloody, so that when later generations checked the genealogy of the big families in Henan, they would find that most of them started from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, except for a few families, almost a few families inherited them.

In such a tragic battle, the enmity between the two sides is as deep as the sea.

Why was Sang Kai able to gather so many people in the name of the Ming Dynasty. There's a reason for that.

When Li Zicheng's main force was still there, they could only bow their heads and submit to softness, but now after Li Zicheng's defeat. They repeatedly.

In their opinion, they would rather defect to the Qing court and the Eastern captives than cooperate with the rebels.

This kind of conflict of interests, blood debts and blood feuds, cannot be let go at all.

The situation in the north is similar to that in Henan, and the Qing army was able to occupy the north, but also chose to unite with the northern gentry.

And most of the gentry were connected to each other.

In the past, these gentry supported the Ming Court, but now that Wuchang is lost, the people of the world are disappointed in the Ming Court. It was natural to switch to the Qing court.

Zhang Xuan asked, "Is the situation in Henan very chaotic?" ”

Yuan Shizhong smiled indifferently and said, "What's more than a random word? It's a mess, it's a mess. ”

Yuan Shizhong sighed lightly and said, "I am next to the Qing court, and the Qing court swept the camp within a year. It has already made the north frightened. Under the call of letters, I don't know how many people were shaken by it. If it weren't for the fact that my Cao Ying already had a Jiangnan foundation, it wouldn't be a gibberish word to say now. ”

After Li Zicheng's defeat, the gentry in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and all over the country rose up to resist.

It is impossible for such a situation not to affect the two Huai patterns.

Yuan Shizhong has been doing one thing for a period of time. It was to quell the rebellion of the gentry everywhere.

This is the reason why Yuan Shizhong's tens of thousands of troops have not come in handy during this period of time.

Although the scale of the rebellion in various places was not large, it was unable to move the army of Yuan Shizhong.

Zhang Xuan said: "So how about the eldest brother here?" ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "I talked to Sang Kai, Sang Kai is reluctant to surrender to the East, but although he is the governor of Henan, he is not in charge of these major matters." He's just an alliance leader. ”

"He defected to Cao Ying first, but there was a prerequisite."

Zhang Xuan immediately knew that he had to do this condition, and said, "What condition." ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "Correct name." ”

"Justification?" Zhang Xuan paused slightly, and said, "You mean to let the king ascend the throne?" ”

"Yes." Yuan Shizhong said: "Ascend the throne." Sang Kai means that the east is based in Liaodong, by the old slave

, Huang Taiji, to the present Fulin child, has been three generations, and the foundation is solid. It is Cao Ying's fierce rival for the world. Just as the virtuous brother expected back then. ”

As soon as he thought of what Zhang Xuan said at the beginning, Yuan Shizhong was full of emotion, at first he just felt that Zhang Xuan was just talking nonsense, but now he admires Zhang Xuan's foresight more and more.

Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is calculated, and the situation is asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”

"The first thing to say is the word."

"Cao Ying wants to fight for each other, the first thing to do is to establish a reputation, and if King Wu is not right, he will not be able to convince the people of the world."

"Therefore, the king's accession to the throne cannot be delayed for a moment."

"I wanted to write to the king about this, but I was afraid that the king would be afraid that I was flattering. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask you to speak for you. ”

Zhang Xuan has never thought about this question.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if the strength is nominally lacking.

Zhu Yuanzhang built a high city, accumulated grain, and slowly became the king's policy, is it good?

It was only at this moment that Zhang Xuan knew that it was too much.

If the world is lost, there will be no more righteousness in the world. The camp briefly occupied the advantage, and the world thought that Dashun was the right one.

And now Dashun is out of place. The Qing army again had the upper hand.

However, the relationship between Cao Ying and Dashun is broken, and although the dark tide is turbulent between each other, before the decisive battle, Luo Rucai is not the emperor, and there is still some room for relaxation. Therefore, Luo Rucai's ascension to the throne is not a top priority.

It's just that within half a year, the situation changed greatly, and the Qing court occupied the north. However, there was no such relationship between the Qing court and Cao Ying.

Before the Qing court defeated the camp, it was still able to make peace with the Cao camp. Future hostilities are simply on the surface.

Compared with the solid foundation of the Qing court, the Cao Ying family is much worse.

If you are not called the emperor, how can you let the people of the world know, you are interested in the world, if you are not called the emperor, how can you let the people of the world know that you have the heart to compete with the Qing court, and how can you compete with the Qing court for the right to speak if you are not the emperor.

Before the Qing army fought, the matter of becoming emperor was already imminent.

There is no time to slow down.

"Thank you big brother for the reminder." Zhang Xuan said: "I almost missed a big thing. ”

To make a long story short, both are busy people. Zhang Xuan just talked with Yuan Shizhong for a long time, and then left in a hurry.

After Zhang Xuan returned, he immediately wrote a letter to Wuchang.

At this time, Luo Rucai was meeting Gu Junen.

"Hahaha." Luo Rucai laughed loudly, shook the rubble, and said, "Old Gu, are you begging me on behalf of Li Chuang?" ”

Gu Junen was sweating through his clothes, and he didn't dare to look up at Luo Rucai and said: "Yes, please also ask the king to look at the past feelings and give the camp a way out." ”

gauze

You restrained your laughter and said, "Why? ”

Luo Rucai still can't let go of Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai asked himself if he was worthy of Li Zicheng, he had saved Li Zicheng at least three times, but what did Li Zicheng do to him. After so many years, Luo Rucai felt that the closest he came to death was still the night in Xiangyang.

After Li Zicheng gained power, En will take revenge. Now that he has lost power, he has the cheekiness to beg him again.

Gu Junen said: "King Chuang has already known his mistake, and he is willing to go to the emperor and respect the king as a brother." Obey the king's command. And the king swept across both sides of the Yangtze River, and today everyone knows that the trend of the world is either Qing or Wu. The two cannot coexist, although the camp is defeated, there are still 130,000 horses, the land of several mansions, willing to be the king's horse pawn. Please also ask the king to give him a chance. ”

Luo Rucai heard the meaning of Gu Junen's words.

Although Gu Junen said it politely, it was actually a soft needle. Point out the strength of the camp, although the camp is defeated, but the 130,000 soldiers are still very useful in the upcoming war. If he was in a hurry, Li Zicheng would surrender to the Qing court. Doesn't it make the Qing court like a tiger?

However, let Li Zicheng go like this. Don't talk about others, even Luo Rucai himself is unwilling.

He pondered for a while and said, "Such a big thing, it's not up to you to make a decision. ”

"Before I came, I had already obtained full power to break the king." Gu Junen breathed a sigh of relief, many times he was not afraid of speaking badly, but he was afraid that he would not even have a chance to talk.

"That's good." Luo Rucai said: "Let Li Zicheng come to see me." ”

"This ----" Gu Junen hesitated a little.

In any case, Li Zicheng is still the core of the camp, Li Zicheng is here, and the camp is there. Li Zicheng is gone, breaking into the camp is like falling into a split, plus what Li Zicheng has done to Luo Rucai, Gu Junen doesn't know, how can he not worry about Li Zicheng's safety?

"The general is willing to come." Luo Rucai didn't feel that something was wrong at all. With a bit of understatement, he said: "This matter can be discussed, if you break into the camp and refuse to come." Then don't even talk about it. After Cao Ying's army conquered Xiangyang, it was not too late to talk about anything else. ”

Gu Junen was hesitating. Suddenly, after Zheng Chenggong came in, he presented a letter, Luo Rucai looked at the envelope, smiled and said, "You have to make a decision quickly, Zheng Azig sent a letter." ”

Luo Rucai didn't need to read it, he knew what was written in Azig's letter, the Qing court still had a set of diplomacy, and before the elimination of the camp, Cao Ying had always been mainly wooed, so anyone with a discerning eye knew that the rupture of the two sides was just around the corner.

But he still politely wooed Luo Rucai.

Gu Junen knew that he couldn't make a decision now, he didn't have the ability to change Luo Rucai's mind, so he could only say: "It's a big matter, let the small one go back and report back to King Chuang, and then make a decision." ”

"No problem." Luo Rucai said: "However, the general will not come for a day, and the matter of Cao Ying's westward entry into Xiangyang will not stop for a day." ”
