"With the right people, pigs can become Buddhas."

Such remarks swept the Ming Dynasty some time ago, and directly led to the "Red Flag Publishing House" publishing Journey to the West selling 500,000 copies and making a lot of money.

Nowadays, too many readers are beginning to think, the same day, the same Han people, why the "Han King" is thriving, why the Ming Dynasty has spread to the people's livelihood?

It's really important to follow the right people, and it's not too late to make up for it!

The establishment of a new dynasty requires too much civil and military service, and if you don't fight for yourself at this time, when the dust settles, will you sit and watch the pigs go to the sky?

With the passage of time, the thinking of some civil and military officials who were originally equivalent to compromises has changed, they no longer resist the accession of the "Han King" to the throne, and more officials participate in persuading Chongzhen to abdicate.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Fan Fucui, the former assistant who lived in a simple house to escape from the dispute, was persuaded by Chen Yan and Wei Zhaocheng, the cabinet ministers who had already taken refuge in the "King of Han", and also participated in the persuasion to retire.

There is also a former assistant Zhou Yanru who can't stand the loneliness and travels thousands of miles from Jiangnan to earn performance, he is the same as Qian Qianyi, he is a Donglin Party boss, and he was once driven out of the court by Wen Tiren in the political struggle.

Most of the moral gentlemen and the backbone scholars of the Donglin Party participated in the indoctrination with Qian Qianyi and Zhang Cai in the Americas, thousands of miles away.

It's just that even if there are great Confucians like Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou, it may not be an overnight effort to teach those people who have turned into outsiders to "filial piety, piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame".

The rest of the Donglin party people are more realistic, know how to judge the situation, basically swarm to the "Han King", Zhou Yanru, who is in his prime, of course eager to return to the court, he repeatedly knelt down and begged Chongzhen to make a decision to benefit himself and the people for the livelihood of the world.

Chongzhen was not too touched when he saw other civil and military generals, but when he suddenly saw Hong Chengchou, who thought he had been martyred, Chongzhen was suddenly filled with grief and anger.

He said: "I treat Aiqing well, I will spare no effort to give what I can give, what do I have to say when Aiqing comes to see me today?" ”

Hong Chengchou's face was not covered, and when he heard Chongzhen's question, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said unhurriedly:

"The collapse of the Ming Dynasty system has accumulated a lot of difficulties, Wen Tianwu is corrupt, and the soldiers under his command lack food and clothing, even if the ministers are exhausted, it is useless, and the defeat is not accidental but inevitable."

Chongzhen looked at this important minister who had high hopes, but he didn't expect to meet again but appeared as a lobbyist for the "King of Han", and his heart was irritable.

He sneered again and again, pointed at Hong Chengchou and said, "I am not the king of the dead country, you are all the ministers of the dead country." ”

It is possible that Chongzhen was really angry and said this sentence more than three years in advance, which should have been his last words before hanging himself on the coal mountain!

This sentence is actually too bastard, it's like a company collapsed, and the chairman came forward to say that he shouldn't be like this, and it was all the bastards under him who messed up to get this result.

Hong Chengchou didn't think so, he spit on his face, he sneered at each other: "Only the upward and downward effects will lead to the erosion of the country, what feats did Your Majesty do as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to benefit the country and the people?"

Now that the country has come to this point, His Majesty has passed all the blame to the minister, which is enough to prove that His Majesty has not taken responsibility, and he will invite the 'King of Han' to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

Hong Chengchou was eloquent, and he was determined to follow the "King of Han", he didn't care that Chongzhen was trembling with anger, and continued to fire the cannon.

talked about the war situation in the Central Plains, talked about the ugliness of hundreds of officials, talked about Gao Yingxiang, who was surrounded by regiments, and talked about how the soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army' worshiped the 'King of Han' as a god.

Chongzhen knew that the "Red Banner Army" owned by the "King of Han" could fight, but he didn't expect that the Liukou would be defeated so quickly and completely.

He had already learned from Zheng Guochang that the rogue in Henan had been completely exterminated, killing more than 10,000, collecting 50,000 or 60,000, and capturing more than 100,000.

He also learned from Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi that in order to reduce the number of killings, the "King of Han" could obviously use the mode of seizing Shenyang to burn all the 200,000 rogues in Xi'an City to death, but he spent time, money and food to confront the rogues and tried to persuade them to surrender.

It can be seen that next year's splendid rivers and mountains will be able to do Heqing Haiyan, but all this will have nothing to do with him, Emperor Zhu Ming, whenever in the dead of night, Chongzhen, who can't sleep all night, is always sad for the cold moon.

He always lamented why he was so unlucky, why he didn't have a few days of peace in the 14 years he took the throne?

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, the Ming Dynasty Master of Ceremonies who triumphed from the Henan battlefield entered the palace to meet Chongzhen.

As soon as he saw Fang Zhenghua, he knelt down and kowtowed, he did not hide his position, knelt down and begged Chongzhen to take the throne as soon as possible, and frankly said that he was going to take over the defense of the Forbidden City.

In order to avoid accidents, Huang Han appointed his disciples Li Zhien, Shi Xian, Mao Chengdou, Liu Gangyong, Yang Jiuming, and Huang Yusheng as the first imperial guards of the Ouchi, which belonged to the commander of Fang Zhenghua, the chief of Ouchi.

From the soldiers who had experienced the Pingliao War, 3,000 intellectual, young regulars and low-level assistants were selected to serve as fifth- to second-class imperial guards.

The military position corresponding to the first-class imperial guard is the total actual grant of the fourth rank, and so on, the second-class imperial guard is from the fourth rank, the third class is from the fifth rank, and the fourth class is from the fifth rank.

The fifth-class imperial guard is the lowest rank among the guards, with the sixth rank of the small flag officer, the sixth rank of the Wu Chang, and the fifth rank of the imperial guard without the position, the same treatment and rank as the chief flag officer.

The former rogue, Zhang Dingguo, and now Huang Dingguo, are the guards who were given the surname by the "King of Han", and naturally received special attention from Shangguan.

Therefore, he was able to get more opportunities to perform, and when he participated in the Pingliao War, he had become the chief flag officer of the pro-guard battalion.

He lived up to expectations and forged ahead bravely in the Pingliao battle, and independently won the fourth-level beheading merit, and the general flag he led also achieved good results, and won the commendation and was promoted two levels in a row.

This time in the selection of the imperial guards, Huang Dingguo was on the list, and he was promoted and appointed, and he was ranked second-class.

After this period of edification, Huang Dingguo learned new knowledge, saw that the living standards of the common people were thriving, and there was no longer anger in his body, but instead he was enthusiastic about serving the country.

The imperial guard team is younger and more knowledgeable, and these officers who have experienced bloody battles and killed the enemy with their own hands enter the power center and go through training for a period of time, during which Huang Han will continue to teach by word and deed.

In the future, 1,000 new people will be recruited every year, and these 1,000 people will also be selected from among the grassroots leaders and non-commissioned officers who have been awarded military merit medals.

Select 1,000 people from the imperial guards to be promoted to the first rank, and assign them to positions corresponding to their rank in the border army or local army.

In doing so, Huang Han can not only ensure that the imperial guard team does not rot, but also mix sand into the border army and local army, so that Huang Han can always maintain his ears and eyes, and can better ensure that the army, the state machine, is not out of the control of the imperial power.

The Huang and Han dynasties established the country by force, of course, they had to guard against the chaos of the military generals and ensure that the emperor always commanded the barrel of the gun, so that the country could have long-term peace and stability.

With a large population in a big country, how can it be possible to eliminate the cronies?

Huang Han personally trained grassroots magistrates and personally taught officers, the purpose of which was to cultivate the "imperial party" and make the "imperial party" dominant, and no matter how many parties appeared in the future, they must be under the leadership of the "imperial party" in order to survive.

Li Zhien, Mao Chengdou and other six first-class guards led 3,000 imperial guards with at least first-class beheading skills to guard the Forbidden City around the clock in four shifts.

I believe that with these loyal and remarkable young adults guarding the imperial city, it will be safe and sound.

Fang Zhenghua not only truthfully reported the results of the suppression of the Kou in Henan and Shaanxi to Chongzhen, but also told Chongzhen the composition of the guards guarding the Forbidden City in the future.

And euphemistically told Chongzhen that on the first day of the first month of next year, regardless of whether Chongzhen agrees with Chan Rang or not, the "King of Han" will ascend the throne and claim the emperor to establish the "Han Empire" and change the "Wuwei" of the Yuan era.

But whether Chongzhen is Zen or not will directly affect the treatment of the royal family, which is equivalent to pointing out that Chongzhen did not take the initiative to give up but was ousted from power, and King Xin had nothing to do, and what was waiting for him was a lifetime of seclusion.

Li Ruolian and Fangzhenghua's 60,000 elite Beijing battalions are Chongzhen's last hope, Wen Tiren, Zheng Guochang, Zhang Fengyi, etc. said that this biao man has been incorporated by the "Red Flag Army", and Chongzhen may not believe it all.

But when he saw Hong Chengchou and Fang Zhenghua, and got the same news from Fang Zhenghua, Chongzhen was completely desperate.

Now the "Han King" is even more unscrupulous, it doesn't matter whether he has been given Chongzhen Chan concession, and it is clear that the establishment of the "Han Empire" will be on the first day of the Lunar New Year ten days later, and the Ministry of Rites has been in full swing to prepare for the founding ceremony.

Faced with this conversation, which amounted to an ultimatum, Chongzhen finally made a compromise, he offered to meet the "King of Han", and he wanted to hear the promise of the "King of Han" with his own ears.
