Chapter 1: Bombshell
With the series of edicts issued by Xiao Tianjian, the new emperor, all the systems of the entire Great China immediately recovered from the jubilation of the newly established state to a state of tension.
In the name of the Emperor of Great China, Xiao Tianjian issued several edicts to the world at the same time, the first edict was directly stated that the grievances between his Great China and the Ming Dynasty could only be resolved by the Great Zhong and the Ming Dynasty themselves, and they would never allow Jiannu to go south to get involved in the Central Plains, and at the same time in sharp language, he exposed the sinister intentions of Jiannu, and at the same time ordered Shanxi to contact Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanda, and Great China was willing to send 20,000 stone of grain to the Guanning Army through Yang Guozhu to alleviate the problem of insufficient food for the Guanning Army, and sent someone to inform Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Great China is willing to defend against foreign captives with them, and once Hong Chengchou and the Guanning army need it, the soldiers and horses of the first town of the Great China Defense Army will go north to help them at any time.
The second edict announced an edict of appointment, promoted Lu Xiang, the former secretary of the Ming Military Department, to the director of the Great China Supervision Yuan, and temporarily went to the first town of the Shanxi National Defense Army to concurrently serve as the post of military supervisor, and was generally responsible for the liaison between the first town and the Xuanda and Guanning armies and supervised the implementation of various military affairs, and promoted Sun Chuanting, the former governor of Shaanxi and the governor of Baoding, to be the squire of the Great China Criminal Department, and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Criminal Department, and used Ding Qirui, the governor of the five former provinces of the Ming Dynasty, to stay in Nanjing as a scholar of the Great China History Museum.
The third edict announced that the Ming court was no longer qualified to continue to rule the country, the Ming court could not be peaceful, and the officials were corrupt and abnormal, so that the current Ming Emperor Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen immediately abdicated and handed over power to Great China, Great China will wave his army to the north, replacing the Ming Imperial Court and taking over the foreign captives outside the Guan, as long as Zhu Youzhen announces his abdication, Xiao Tianjian will be crowned king to ensure the safety of the members of the Ming royal family.
The fourth edict did not recognize the self-proclaimed emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, and ordered the thieves' subordinates to immediately renounce the use of force and stay on the territory they now occupy to await the reorganization of Great China.
The fifth edict ordered the officials and soldiers of the Ming government in all parts of the world that had not yet submitted to Great China to immediately accept the administration of Great China, and at the same time ordered those old officials and troops scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty to stop all hostile actions against Great China and concentrate on solving the barbaric bandits of Liaodong Jiannu.
The issuance of these edicts is undoubtedly like a few bombshells, like a shock, which has caused an uproar in the world, and there are people everywhere in the jurisdiction of Great China who are propagandizing and concentrating all their forces to fight to the death with Jiannu, and must not let Jiannu touch the land of Yanyun like the Liao State in history, otherwise the Han nation will never have peace.
Among these edicts, the most shocking thing for the Ming Dynasty and the opposition is probably the appointment of the former officials of the Ming Dynasty, the appointment of Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, since the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng led the Xuanda soldiers and horses in Julu and the Jiannu Army after the battle, Lu Xiangsheng has not been traced, the official news of the Xingtian Army has always said that Lu Xiangsheng was seriously injured after that battle, although he was rescued by the Xingtian Army from the siege of Jiannu, but he was seriously injured afterwards! And at that time, there were still many Xuan soldiers who had seen Lu Xiangsheng's "body", so most people thought that Lu Xiangsheng was no longer in this world.
At the beginning, the Ming court was also skeptical about Lu Xiangsheng's death, because Xingtianjun said that Lu Xiangsheng was dead, but no one found Lu Xiangsheng's cemetery, and later although some people said that they had seen Lu Xiangsheng's body, but they did not see anyone dead or dead, and there was a gap between Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng, who were in charge at the time, so the court never officially recognized Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle.
Now all of a sudden, Xiao Tianjian announced that Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the director of the Dazhong Supervision Institute, and now everyone understood that Lu Xiangsheng was actually not dead at the beginning, and he must have defected to Xiao Tianjian a long time ago, but over the years, he has been hidden and unannounced, and it was not until today that he announced his news to the world.
At this time, when the imperial court heard the news, although it was extremely angry, it was helpless, because after the Xingtian Army captured Changzhou Mansion last year, Lu Xiangsheng's hometown also fell into the hands of Xiao Tianjian, and at this time, all Lu Xiangsheng's relatives had been included in the territory of Dazhong, and the imperial court had no way to retaliate.
It is said that several of Lu Xiangsheng's younger brothers immediately joined the Xingtian Army as officials after the Xingtian Army captured their hometown, and now they are serving in various ministries of Dazhong, and it can be said that all the people have betrayed the Ming Dynasty.
But although Lu Xiangsheng's approach is a bit disdainful of some so-called loyal ministers, most people do not have too much bad feelings towards Lu Xiangsheng, after all, when Jiannu went south to enter the Kou, only Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to fight to the death, and most of the rest of the officers and soldiers were afraid of the enemy like a tiger to avoid the battle, and Gao Qiqian, the chief army, as the emperor's cronies, sat back and watched Lu Xiangsheng's department surrounded by the Jiannu army but did not save him, fortunately Xiao Tianjian led the Xingtian Army to rescue it, and also saved the lives of hundreds of Xuan generals, the beginning and end of this matter, In fact, it has long been known to the world by Xingtianjun, and Gao Qiqian personally testified, in exchange for whoever encounters this kind of thing, if he doesn't hate the Ming Dynasty, it will be a hell, and he will repay Xiao Tianjian for his life, so although people in the world know that Lu Xiangsheng surrendered to Xiao Tianjian, there are very few people who scold him.
As for Sun Chuanting's surrender to the Xingtian Army, in fact, many people also had a premonition, because after the first battle in Yanggu County, the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat and capture had already spread, but I didn't hear that Xiao Tianjian killed Sun Chuanting, and later it was rumored that Sun Chuanting had seen Sun Chuanting in some places in Henan, and Sun Chuanting was not imprisoned, but Sun Chuanting had full freedom to walk in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, so the news that Sun Chuanting was thrown into Dazhong was not too shocking. However, what makes people feel puzzling is that Xiao Tianjian actually reused Sun Chuanting as the servant of the Criminal Department, temporarily presiding over the Dazhong Criminal Department, which can be described as a high authority, and people can't figure out why Xiao Tianjian values Sun Chuanting so much.
But for Ding Qirui's surrender to Xiao Tianjian, many people are completely dumbfounded, you must know that after Ding Qirui replaced Yang Sichang over the years, he has been making enemies of Xiao Tianjian, and when Xiao Tianjian attacked Nanzhili, Ding Qirui also led the army to fight Xiao Tianjian to the death, but he didn't think that after Xiao Tianjian caught Ding Qirui, he didn't kill him, and now Ding Qirui has also taken refuge in Xiao Tianjian, and has served as a scholar of the History Museum in the court of Great China, which is really surprising!
The betrayal of these people to the Ming Dynasty can be said to have once again had a huge psychological impact on the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it also dealt a very complete blow to the prestige of the Ming court.
Many officials of the Ming Dynasty think about the disposition of the ministers after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne in these years, and killed his important ministers at every turn, many people felt cold, so after learning that Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Ding Qirui had all voted for the Great Middle Dynasty, many local officials and officials and soldiers who had not yet been pointed out by the Xingtian Army began to announce their surrender to the Great Middle Dynasty, and in less than half a month, the officials of many prefectures and counties near the control of Great China surrendered to Great China. Instead, it began to accept the jurisdiction of Greater China.
And Xiao Tianjian also famously said in the edict that all the old officials of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to him were temporarily retained, and they were not to blame for the past, and in the future, they would decide on the appointment, dismissal, and promotion according to their performance as officials, at least as long as they surrendered, they could ensure the safety of their family property, and their lives and the lives of the whole family were saved.
Poor Li Jinde, who is the new secretary of the Ministry of Officials, after Xiao Tianjian's edict was issued, he was just busy receiving the affairs of these officials who surrendered to the city, so he and his officials were busy on all fours, not only to re-replace the methods of the Great Middle and Korean Dynasty for these officials to surrender to the Chengcheng, but also to replace the official seal for them, and at the same time to send people to supervise, in short, it was very busy.
In addition to being busy with the transfer of troops and sending generals, they also had to constantly receive the surrendered officers and troops in the surrounding areas, send officers to take over these surrendered troops, and arrange the reorganization or dismissal affairs.
As for several other edicts, they also caused a sensation, the emperor Zhu Youzhen in the Ming court was furious again after hearing about it, and scolded Xiao Tianjian for being a thief against the sky, and immediately declared that he would never abdicate, and gave up the Ming dynasty to the traitor Xiao Tianjian, he vowed to live and die in the Ming Dynasty, and the traitor Xiao Tianjian fought to the death, and at the same time ordered that all parts of the country had not been captured by the Dazhong army, and raised troops to fight against the rebel Xiao Tianjian, vowing to destroy the rebel Xiao Tianjian, but this is to say, Those local officials and local troops in the surviving territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is good to be able to protect themselves now, let them gather their forces and launch an offensive to regain the lost territory, if they have this ability, they don't have to wait until now! And Chongzhen's edict to beg for thieves, there is no way to send it to places outside the land of Jingfu now, Xiao Tianjian's newly established Dazhong Dynasty has stopped the Ming Dynasty from the middle, Chongzhen's edict can't get out of Jingfu and Shandong at all, so for the southern provinces, the Ming Dynasty has completely lost its ability to control.
However, the most headache at the moment is Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanda, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, at present, Jiannu is already a large army pressing, the total strength of the Guanning army is only a quarter of the Jiannu army, and it is also in a serious shortage of food and salary. Their total grain storage is not enough for the army to eat for half a month, and they have to save food, although Hong Chengchou has the intention to defend Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, but if there is no food, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
