Chapter 100 Bestowing Names and Hearts

No matter how the three of them rebelled. But in their hearts, the emperor, the Ming Emperor, still has a halo.

Even Li Zicheng's heart knot still exists.

Not to mention the rest, before Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, he also had a negotiation with Chongzhen, and he also had a letter in Shanxi, mentioning Chongzhen and saying: "Jun is not very dark. ”

Even after taking the Jingshi, the prince left by Chongzhen was treated very favorably.

After all, the legend that the emperor descended from the stars is also widely spread among the people.

Therefore, the three of them were moved for a while when they spoke in such a low posture in the face of Long Wu, and they avoided their seats again and again, saying, "Your Majesty doesn't stop here." ”

Longwu said: "The world has fallen to such a point, I think deeply about the hardships of Taizu's entrepreneurship, and I also think about the loss of Shenzong, Xizong, and Yizong. I can't sleep at night, my Zhu family is ashamed of the people of the world. Break into the --- king. No matter how much Longwu understands, when he mentioned Li Zicheng, he still had a sense of resentment in his heart, and he was forced to hold back, forcibly changed his words, and continued: "I am also a hero, but is the world better or worse than it was at the beginning?" ”

"This ----" The three of them didn't know what to say for a while.

No matter what, I don't dare to say with a clear conscience that the current way of the world is better than that of Chongzhen.

Fourteen years after Chongzhen, the war in the world became more and more intense and expanded. Prior to this, the decisive battle in the world was only the Battle of Songshan, with 130,000 troops of the Ming army and more than 100,000 Qing troops, adding up to only more than 300,000. In the battle of Runing, the number of people was still less than this.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the scale of the battle of a stone was no less than the battle of Songshan and the battle of Runing. And the battle that really determined the failure of the camp was the battle of Tongguan.

On both sides, Yan'an and Tongguan mobilized almost a million people. The geographical dispatch is huge. It was almost the peak of the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

In the real history, although there were several major battles in the next war, there were dozens of major battles, and there were only Zheng Zhilong's battle in the south of the Yangtze River, which dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and the battle of the Qing army's three-way entry into Yunnan and Guizhou. But at some point, it's already over.

Even the Qing army itself admits that Li Zicheng has always been one of their strongest opponents after entering the customs.

And now history is different, and the Bactria regime appeared in the Jiangnan area, which became the strongest opponent of the Qing army.

The Battle of Xiangyang became a battle that was not inferior to the Battle of Tongguan in terms of scale.

The collapse of the Ming regime, the back and forth between the camp and the Qing army, the continuous violence of several forces, and the almost inhumane means of the Qing army. All of them have brought a great burden to the people.

In terms of people's livelihood alone.

The Chongzhen period was not the lowest point. The current situation will only be worse than in the Chongzhen period, and I don't even know if this situation can be reversed.

The three of them were speechless, and Long Wu continued: "I dare not say that I can make the people of the world live a good life. But I will do my best to bring the world back to prosperity, and if I can't, I'd rather die by the sword. ”

"Someone." Longwu said.

Immediately three eunuchs, each with a long sword, came out. Longwu took it himself.

Long Wu said: "I can't think of any rewards for the three generals in the future, such as celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and the three generals are not interested. Gold, silver, jewelry, etc., the three generals are also well-informed and don't care much. And I don't have it, there are only about a thousand miles in my inner treasury, and the rest are in the treasury. Not much, either. He specially summoned famous craftsmen to create three long swords. When the famous craftsman of Chu is not comparable to the famous craftsman of the two Beijings. Quality doesn't stop there. However, I came up with three names. ”

"One of them said, 'Protect the people.'" Longwu said: "Mencius: 'Protect the people as kings.'" 'Given to the Marquis of Xiangyang, if one day I break my promise and harm the people, the Marquis of Xiangyang can punish me with this sword. It is also possible to 'protect the people as kings.' ’”

Gao Yigong listened to it for a while, didn't know what to say, almost got down on his knees and took the Baomin sword.

Long Wu continued to walk to Li Guo's side, took a sword again, handed it to Li Guo, and said, "This sword is a thief." Mencius said: 'A thief is a thief, a thief is a thief, a thief is a cripple, and a thief is a husband. I heard that a husband was punished, but I didn't hear of killing a king. 'If one day the general decides, I will be a thief of the remnants of the people. Please punish him with this sword. ”

Li Guo also knelt on the ground, in a trance for a while. It doesn't seem to be able to react.

Long Wu had already left Li Guo's side and came to Dang Shousu. Said: "The name of this sword ----"

Dang Shousu said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, the minister doesn't dare to have this great rebellious heart, please ask Your Majesty to take back this sword, the minister will never dare to accept it." ”

Long Wu said: "This sword is called benevolence, benevolence is the virtue of the world, I hope that the general will always remember this heart, and I will not talk about the others." ”

"Your Majesty," Dang Shousu took it with both hands, and said with a little gratitude: "The minister must abide by this heart and change his mind." Do your best for Your Majesty, and then die. ”

Compared with Gao Yigong, Li Guo said that the party had the least thoughts.

Although Dang Shousu was a general of Li Zicheng, he did not intervene in the core of the rebel army, and all he hoped for was a dignitary.

There is actually no difference between being a minister of Dashun or being a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing Longwu like this, he was naturally very moved.

Long Wu said: "The party general does not need to be like this, just work hard, and it will be fine." ”

Dang Shousu said: "Your Majesty please give your name." ”

After Dang Shousu was in Changsha, he also learned about some of Longwu's hobbies. For example, giving people names. In history, Zheng Chenggong's surname came from Emperor Longwu.

Dang Shousu's sentence scratched the itch of Longwu.

Long Wu pondered for a while and said, "General Dang, 'guarding' is good, but it is a little too ordinary. I mean to 'righteousness'. ”

After hearing this, Dang Shousu pondered for a moment and whispered a few times, then raised his head and said, "The ministers and the party have thanked Your Majesty." ”

Long Wu then said, "It doesn't have to be like this. ”

Longwu seems to have a name in mind, and by the way, he also gave a name to Gao Yigong and Li Guo.

Gao Yigong, given the name Gao Bizheng, Li Guo gave the name Li Chixin.

Then the three of them were left for a feast.

And it was Queen Zeng who cooked it herself.

The food is not too rich, but it is very meaningful. After the three of them had eaten and drunk, they were sent back to the station, and all three seemed to be drunk and hazy. The three of them didn't seem to go back to the room, but in the living room.

After the outsiders retreated, Dang Shousu suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The Ming Dynasty has a monarch like this, and the national fortune is endless." ”

Li Guo also opened his eyes, sighed slightly, and said, "Probably it is the will of heaven." ”

Gao Yigong didn't speak, and said, "It's too early to say, let's see." ”

Although the three of them are all fierce generals on the battlefield, their cultural level is not too high, they are illiterate, some are too much, but in fact, their understanding of the situation in the world and the rise and fall of the dynasty is very shallow.

Longwu saw the wisdom of things, and simply pushed his heart into his belly. No one can be a faint king.

And the three of them regarded themselves as fierce generals, and there were no constraints in coming to the court. I feel that my ability is not above Luo Yulong, Zhang Xuan and others.

Naturally, he felt that he had the ability to assist Longwu in building a career.

After the three of them came to Changsha, they would not only see Longwu alone, the three of them stayed in Changsha for several days, Longwu summoned several times, and the grace continued, and the three of them also met He Tengjiao and Ma Shiying respectively.

As for Wen Anzhi's status, although Wen Anzhi is not in Changsha, the status of the third person after the Wenchen sequence has been determined.

However, soon they could not stay in Changsha. Because of the movement on Xia Jun's side, it came.

The dispatch of the brigade army cannot be concealed at all. Although the Ming Dynasty was defeated and retreated to this point, there were still many sympathizers in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, and confidential information may not be available. But this common news is easy to come by.

Changsha was also shaken. After Longwu convened the ministers to deliberate, he decided to advance the Northern Expedition. But Da Ming's mobilization ability, even if he wants to change the plan temporarily, is not something that can be adjusted immediately.

The three generals immediately returned to the garrison of the army, and Wen Anzhi had already established a camp for the army in Anxiang County, north of Dongting Lake. It has also established and restored the most basic civil service governance system in various localities.

Strive to do the food yourself. However, his plans were disrupted by the sudden transfer of Xia Jun.
