When Zhu Changxun fled to Fengyang, he was warmly received by Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and then Zhu Changxun continued to avoid Yangzhou. Eight [〈(?一中{〈文网 })?. 〕８?１}z］>．? c)o?m]

After the death of Chongzhen, Ma Shiying deeply felt that the time had come, and now that Emperor Chongzhen had no blood relatives in Jiangnan, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, became the most likely candidate to succeed to the throne.

Ma Shiying, who was alive, immediately took the initiative to find Zhu Changxun and expressed his willingness to support him to succeed to the throne and become the new monarch.

Zhu Changxun was overjoyed, and at the same time contacted Ma Shiying with Liu Rongsi, the governor of Caoyun, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Shi Kefa, the prefect of Yangzhou.

Soon after Xiong Mingyu was dismissed by Chongzhen as the secretary of the military department of the Beijing Division, he was reinstated as the secretary of the military department of Nanjing, although his authority was greatly reduced, but under the current situation, he became a pivotal figure in Nanjing.

Although Xiong Mingyu is also a member of the Donglin Party, but in the matter of supporting the new emperor, he disagreed with Zhang Shenyan and others, and now Zhu Changxun and Ma Shiying contacted Liu Rongsi, the governor of Caoyun, and others to pull themselves in.

In order to ensure the success of supporting King Fu, Xiong Mingyu persuaded Shi Kefa, the prefect of Yangzhou. At the same time, Ma Shiying also proposed that more powerful factions should be actively contacted to ensure the smooth accession of King Fu.

As a result, Zhu Dadian, who had just retreated to Shandong and had more than 100,000 troops, became the target of their wooing.

Zhu Dadian originally had no opinion on who would be the new emperor, but seeing that Xiong Mingyu, Liu Rongsi, Shi Kefa and others were all in favor of supporting King Fu, he thought that by establishing a new emperor as soon as possible, he would be able to organize and lead more Ming people to resist the traitor Li Zicheng, so he agreed.

And Zhu Dadian also suggested that King Fu try his best to win over Mo Li, the governor of Huguang, and Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and others to join the ranks of supporting King Fu, so that the general trend of the world can be determined.

For this reason, Zhu Dadian sent an envoy to Xiangyang to visit Moli.

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, Liu Rongsi, the governor of Caoyun, Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and several other military figures of great weight were all in favor of supporting Zhu Changxun, the king of Fufu, which made the pro-Lu faction with Zhang Shenyan, Qian Qianyi and others nervous.

Except for Zhu Dadian, who directly led more than 100,000 troops, the others basically had no generals in their hands, but now Xiong Mingyu, Zhu Dadian and others showed that they supported King Lifu, and the other Donglin Party people had no soldiers in their hands, and it was difficult to insist on supporting Zhu Changshu, the king of Lilu, and it became a plate of loose sand.

In order to establish the overall situation as soon as possible and obtain the merit of the dragon, Ma Shiying also discussed with Liu Rongsi and Zhu Dadian to mobilize troops from Shandong and Jianghuai to gather near Yangzhou to put pressure on Nanjing.

At the beginning of the new year, just after the New Year, on the seventeenth day of the first month, Zhu Changshu, the king of Fu, surrounded by Ma Shiying, Zhu Dadian, Liu Rongsi, Xiong Mingyu, Shi Kefa and others, crossed Yanziji by boat and boarded Nanjing.

The first thing Zhu Changxun did when he arrived in Nanjing was to pay homage to the Tomb of Filial Piety and the Fengxian Palace.

Ma Shiying and others pressed the border, and the Nanjing Donglin Party did not dare to insist on establishing the king of Lu, so they welcomed Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, and jointly pushed Zhu Changxun to supervise the country, mourn for the emperor of Daxing, and raise troops to crusade against the rebels.

After Zhu Changxun succeeded to the throne, he changed the name of the country to "Hongguang", appointed Ma Shiying as the secretary of the household department, Xiong Mingyu was still the secretary of the military department, and Zhu Dadian was the governor of Shandong and Denglai provinces, and led the soldiers and horses of Shandong and Denglai to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Shi Kefa was also rewarded, serving as the left squire of the military department, and Ying Tianfu Yin, in charge of the Nanjing garrison.

As for Liu Rongsi, he still served as the governor of Caoyun, but added a cabinet assistant.

As for the high-profile cabinet assistant, Zhu Changxun used a somewhat surprising figure - Xungui Xu Hongji.

Xu Hongji is the direct descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, hereditary Duke of Wei, who attacked in July of the 23rd year of Wanli, and wrote to the Nanjing Military Government. Thirty-five years to assist in Nanjing, leading the Houfu. In April of the 37th year, he was in charge of the patrol of the Yangtze River in Nanjing.

The reason why Zhu Changxun appointed Xu Hongji as an assistant is probably because the Nanjing Xungui group with Xu Hongji is extremely powerful, and he Zhu Changxun is actually just an exiled vassal king, and the fief Weihui has long been captured by the Dashun army.

These Mo Li were not surprised at all, in his opinion, these farces in Nanjing had nothing to do with him, because he did not pin his hopes on these people to preserve the Chinese bloodline and revive the Han dynasty.

But one thing surprised him. First, Zhu Dadian sent someone to visit him and conveyed Zhu Dadian's meaning, hoping that he could show his attitude and support King Fu.

As a result, Mo Li was inconvenient for foreign ministers to interfere, and he pushed it off on the grounds that he wanted to lead troops to recruit traitors.

But not long after, the blessed king Zhu Changxun successfully ascended the throne. Moreover, something surprising to Moli came: Zhu Changxun canonized him as the Marquis of Zhenxiang, and he was still the governor of Huguang Military Administration.

Princes and generals, the Ming Dynasty stipulates that different surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings, so this title is already a great honor for ordinary courtiers. The next level is Guogong, such as Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei. The prince is the highest title that a courtier can obtain.

But Xu Hongji's Duke of Wei is hereditary, and in addition to those few heroes of the Ming Dynasty, there are really few people who can be named the Duke of Guo in the future.

So Mo Li felt a little surprised, it seems that Zhu Changxun, the old boy, can really get down in order to win over himself, you must know that Ma Shiying, Zhu Dadian and others actively supported his Conglong ministers and did not have a marquis.

However, how can this thing look so weird~

Moli sits on Huguang and a part of Jiangxi (Zhu Changxun has not appointed a new governor of Jiangxi for the time being, nor does he want Moli's troops and horses to withdraw from Jiangxi, which is tantamount to acquiescing in Moli's current governance in Jiangxi). Moreover, since the death of Emperor Daxing, he paid tribute to Chongzhen for the first time, and actively conquest Li Zicheng's territory in Shaanxi and Henan.

In addition, Mo Li's generals are like clouds, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and his strength is extraordinary, so it seems understandable that Zhu Changxun made him a marquis in order to win him over as a big warlord.

However, the problem is that Mo Li did not contribute a little bit to support King Lifu's accession to the throne, but he was rewarded like this, and those ministers who had the merit of following the dragon would not be blushing?

In other words, in fact, this Zhu Changxun has invisibly created a lot of potential enemies for Mo Lishu, which makes people shudder when they think about it.

Ma Dan, this Zhu Changxun children's shoes are definitely not a good bird! Hmph, I want to see what kind of tricks you can play! Let's see if you can last a year or two longer than your son Zhu Yousong's children's shoes in history.

For Zhu Changxun's reward, Mo Li smiled and ignored it, you play yours, I do mine.

On this day, Mo Liqin led a large army to attack Kaifeng Mansion, and suddenly received information that Cao Wenzhao led his troops to start a fierce battle with the Dashun army in Weihui.

Just in case, Moli sent Cao Bianjiao to lead 40,000 troops to Weihui to respond to Cao Wenzhao.

At the same time, he stormed Kaifeng to contain the main force of Yuan Zongdi of the Dashun army and respond to Cao Wenzhao......
