Volume 3 Chapter 13 Worship the ancestors in the capital

At this time, Cao Huachun, who was on the side, saw Zhu Cijiong's embarrassed appearance, and offered a plan: "Huang Degong, who stayed in Fengyang, the central capital, was once a famous general in Beijing, loyal, able to fight well, and had an army of 50,000 under his command, Zhao Wenlong is definitely not his opponent, so he will not let Huang Degong go to conquer Zhao Wenlong." ”

Zhu Cijiong heard this, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not appropriate to go directly to the requisition, the Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, and this set off a civil war, it would be better to be able to take it quickly, if it could not be taken in the short term, it would definitely be a great chaos in the whole country, and when the time came, the Jin and the peasant rebel army would attack again, and the Ming Dynasty was likely to die because of this!

It's better to deal with those villains, so he shook his head and said to Luo Yangxing angrily: "Won't you play yin with them?" First check out all their details, find a dark and windy night, suddenly make a move, and arrest all their heads, brains, and brains, those under them can turn the sky upside down without command? ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, there are more than 1,000 officials and officials in Nanjing, if they are all in a group, Weichen will not be able to guarantee that all the brocade guards will be foolproof, and if someone escapes, it will be a big trouble." ”

Zhu Cijiong thought about it again when he heard this, nodded and said: "Well, you send someone to check first, and when the investigation is almost done, I will personally lead the Shenji Battalion and the elite of Fengyang in the central capital to go to suppress the formation for you, and it doesn't matter much if you get rid of one or two people at that time." ”

Luo Yangxing put down his heart, as long as the 50,000 army did not dare to move, he was more than enough to deal with some powerless literati and a group of family guards.

As for saying that Emperor Chongzheng Zhu Cijiong wanted to personally lead the army to suppress the battle, no one present felt strange, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a tradition, that is, he liked to drive the expedition in person. Whether it is Taizu or Chengzu, they are emperors on horseback, and it is just as common practice to lead a large army to fight against Meng Yuan, so that the emperors of later generations have taken them as role models, and they will drive their own expeditions at every turn.

Is there any danger in the royal driver's march? Of course, there are, like Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Mongolian Tile Thorn Department in Tumubao and almost died in another country. But the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had such a bloody nature, in the face of foreign races and enemy countries, no matter what, even if he died, he would not give in. Like after Ming Yingzong was captured, the Ming court categorically rejected the Mongolian request for property in exchange for Yingzong, and Emperor Yingzong would rather die than surrender, and finally the Ming Dynasty set up Yingzong's younger brother as the new monarch, and once again raised troops to defeat Mongolia.

This is the policy of the Ming Dynasty towards the enemy country, "no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute." ”

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the domineering spirit of the Han Dynasty, the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, it had a righteous spirit of righteousness and martial arts. As the so-called:

The Son of Heaven guards the country,

The king died in the society,

Da Ming Zhengqi book,

Han'er is not a slave.

Even in the late Ming Dynasty, in the midst of internal and external troubles, the Ming Dynasty still stubbornly dealt with the Qing army and Li Zicheng in two ways, and never gave up the desire for "the whole Liao can be restored" for the land outside the Guan.

In fact, the death of the Ming Dynasty was not at the hands of the emperor, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a bloody emperor who never gave up his resistance to the Qing army; The Ming Dynasty did not die in a foreign race, the capital was broken by Li Zicheng, the Qing army was put in by Wu Sangui, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty was given to the Qing army by Qian Qianyi and Zhao Wenlong, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang, was also hanged by Wu Sangui himself.

Emperor Chongzhen's last summoning of his ministers before his death was very reasonable: "I am not the king of the fallen country, you are all the ministers of the dead country." "The Ming Dynasty died to a bunch of treacherous villains. With the lesson of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, our Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past, and he has always come out of the treacherous villains to clean up one by one, and will not tolerate them.

Now that Zhao Wenlong, the villain, has come out, he naturally wants to clean him up, even if he has an army of 50,000 under him, he still has to clean up, if there is no threat from Houjin and the peasant rebel army, Zhu Cijiong will definitely immediately raise troops to go to conquer. But in the situation of internal and external troubles at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could only press down his anger and slowly figure it out.

In fact, as long as they are equipped with new flintlock pistols and grenades, the 10,000 Beijing Camp Praetorian Guards can defeat the 50,000 Ming troops under Zhao Wenlong head-on, the key problem is not to set off a big war, once tens of thousands of horses fight, it will not be over in a day or two.

The problem now is that we can't blatantly organize a large army to go to Nanjing, but when Jinyiwei starts the arrest operation, there must be a large army to suppress the 50,000 troops left behind in Nanjing.

This question is a headache, Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a clever plan, that is, to go to Fengyang, the central capital, to worship his ancestors in person.

............

Fengyang Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is located in the north of Nanzhili, bordering Henan Xuanchen Bu political envoy in the north, bordering Nanjing Yingtianfu in the south, Huaishui flows through the whole territory from it, it is the treasure land of Feng Shui of the Ming Dynasty, the place where the dragon vein is located, and it is also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born and grew up.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had the custom of worshipping their ancestors in Fengyang, and Zhu Cijiong was naturally no exception. When he first ascended the throne, the eunuch party was raging, and he had no time to come to Zhongdu to worship his ancestors.

In October of the third year of Chongzheng, Zhu Cijiong solved the problems caused by the drought in the northwest through the great migration, and the rapid development of the peasant rebel army was also curbed.

Emperor Daming worships the ancestors of such a grand event is naturally not small, just the use of Jinyi Wei is no less than 30,000, from the capital to Henan, and then from Henan to Fengyang, and even Yingtianfu in the south of Fengyang, there are Jinyi guards everywhere, and the 50,000 troops left behind in the capital are even more vigilant and ready to defend everywhere, for fear that something will happen to the emperor.

Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong left the capital under the heavy protection of 10,000 Jinyi guards and 10,000 elite camps, passed through Henan, and came to Fengyang, he first held a grand ancestor worship ceremony in the ancestral house, and then followed the footsteps of Taizu, wandering around in Fengyang Mansion, and seemed to be addicted to playing for a while, and he did not return to the capital for a long time.

After all, Emperor Chongzheng was only an eight or nine-year-old child, and he finally left the Forbidden City and came to the vast world of Fengyang, and it was normal for him to refuse to return to the capital for a while, and no one would suspect that he had any intentions.

But, is he really playful? Of course not, Zhu Cijiong came to Fengyang, worshipping ancestors is just an excuse on the surface, in fact, he wants to mobilize Fengyang's army to ambush at the junction of Yingtianfu and Fengyang Mansion.

So our little emperor "suddenly" found a fun place in the south of Fengyang Mansion, and then stayed there and didn't leave, all the Jinyi Guards, Praetorian Guards and the army left behind by Fengyang were naturally guarding all around, surrounding the junction of Fengyang Mansion and Yingtian Mansion.
