When the lunar month came, Zhu Changxuan, the king of Gui, had been on the throne in Nanjing for many months. Unlike Zhu Yousong, the blessed king who fled alone in history, Zhu Changxuan, who has been secretly accumulating strength with the support of some people since the beginning of the first year of Chongzhen, is not alone, and he is also the last emperor with real power in Yingtianfu. However, Zhu Changxuan also knows very well that his current status is also the result of the perverse behavior of the nephew in the north who committed public anger, and he must not be like it. In the past few months, the decentralization of power in many aspects has dispelled the doubts of many people in Jiangnan about this "lenient" son of heaven.

The unexpected collapse of the situation also began to make many people in Jiangnan worry at this time, especially the proposal of Mao Wenlong and others began to cause great controversy in the DPRK and China.

"Allow the vassal kings to have financial and military power in various places, and open the military ban? How can this work? Allowing the private sector to settle debts for self-insurance is already the limit... Hearing such a proposal to disrupt the country, Lu Weiqi, who was temporarily the secretary of the Ministry of War, felt that this kind of request was too much.

Zhu Changxuan, who didn't want too much, didn't have so many concerns, and said bluntly: "I think this suggestion is reasonable. Because this is not the same as it used to be. Under normal circumstances, even if he dies due to the internal friction of the royal family due to his brother's stinginess, it is just a struggle for the throne, and at most he will have a debt. There is no reason to let those martial artists bring disaster to the country again. However, what we are facing today is not the problem of the death of the dynasty, but the problem of the death of China and the world. Facing a formidable enemy that has never been seen before, an opponent more terrible and ferocious than the barbarians. If the resistance cannot be mobilized to the greatest extent, then the consequences of waiting for the officials and people of Jiangnan may be even more terrible than that of Meng Yuan. Are you willing to end up being imprisoned for life by having your family exterminated? ”

Hearing such words, many people in the DPRK and China began to reflect: "Yes, if it is an ordinary struggle for the throne, a dispute for the world." Those warriors with military power may not be able to help much, but will hinder the imperial court. However, the tyrant and traitor turned out to be openly hostile to the famous religion, the Chinese culture and the world, and cut off the way of life and the way out for many people in the world. ”

The words of Ma Shiying and others also made Lu Weiqi's institutional faction begin to waver. In the area of the final Ming Dynasty, although there were many Southern Ming courts due to special reasons, they never used the method of regimental training and army management of the Hunan army and the Huai army to deal with the threat of the peasant army. Obviously, for a regime that is not very strong in the first place, although the division can theoretically maintain a larger number of warlike soldiers through the amplification of organizational strength, these warlike soldiers are likely to see themselves as a force in the world in the face of external enemies.

However, the king in the Shuntian Mansion at this time seemed to be just a stunned person whose political IQ was not even as good as that of a barbarian, and even more outrageous than Wang Mang back then. In this case, I am afraid that not many people can think that even if they have their own military power and territory, as long as they guard their own one-third of an acre, they can be safe.

At this time, Gao Hongtu, who was the imperial history of the left capital, also agreed: "Extraordinary times should be done in extraordinary times." Even if the world falls into chaos again as it did during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it is better than the eradication of Chinese culture from now on! ”

And so, after not too long of controversy and discussion. Not only was the name of the new era established, with the use of Longwu as a symbol of the world's defense against evil spirits, but also a number of policies that had never been established before, giving the feudal kings the right to train their troops, set their own taxes, and even finance. The political envoys in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the northwest and Henan also have the same power as the envoys in the areas outside the fiefdom.

This bizarre policy seemed unheard of in all dynasties, but at this time, the Nanjing court seemed to be facing an opponent who declared war on all the old cultures, and many barbarians who had invaded the Central Plains did not possess. Under tremendous pressure, the Nanjing Imperial Court had to respond to the "changes unseen in three thousand years" with extraordinary methods.

This determination even slightly exceeded Xiao Xuan's expectations. In Xiao Xuan's opinion before, at least he had to do something in many places such as Shandong and Henan, and those refugees who fled to the south made all the forces from the countryside to the court feel the fear themselves. But he didn't expect that the consciousness of many ruling layers in this plane was so high, and they saw clearly the prodigal ambition of their own cult son so quickly.

Therefore, just as the "Rejuvenation Order" of the Longwu Imperial Court in Nanjing was officially issued, the team led by Xiao Xuan, who had already occupied many places such as Linqing, Dongchang and even Jiaodong, did not further pursue the enemy in the south after conquering Xuzhou, and even planned to attack Yangzhou again. Instead, the main force was temporarily stationed in the Xuzhou area, and 300 officers and men from the volunteer regiment were selected as the core backbone, plus about 1,000 people were drawn from the teaching brigade and the guards battalion and the Yongwei battalion to form a "special task force"

On the one hand, it is to strive to obtain more high-quality soldiers in social innovation, especially in places like Xuzhou, and on the other hand, there are also plans to test and test the team. If these people are really easy to become worse soil emperors at the grassroots level, it means that many of their ideas for the future will have to be readjusted.

The mountain rain is about to come, and many local heroes led by Liangzhai Town, Feng County, Xuzhou, also feel panicked when the army in the north presses over. Many local leaders fled to Yangzhou before this. After all, the haoqiang here is not the distant wealth of the emperor of Shangao, it is often the task of having certain connections and sources in the court. The name of Emperor Chongzhen, who Wang Mang was alive in the capital, was thunderous to many people at this time.

However, there are still many local heroes in the Liang family since the beginning of history, and many of the past changes are still recorded in the family letters, so when they see no soldiers coming. On the contrary, when many teams like messengers came, the fears of many local heroes seemed to have been eliminated a lot at this time.

In the Mingde Hall, how to deal with this possible crisis has become the core of many people's deliberations in the Liang clan. Because no one can be sure of the true purpose of these "not following the routine", they can only make various preparations for change.
