Chapter 91: The Ballad, the Deadly Ballad

Everyone was worried until mid-December, when the New Year was approaching, it was suddenly reported that Zhu Yousong, the king of Xiaofu, inherited the throne in Nanjing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It stands to reason that King Fu's claim to be emperor happened before June, but because of the closed news, it did not reach Pengzhou until today.

It turned out that when Chongzhen was killed, the ministers of Nanjing, the capital of China, were in a panic, and because everyone did not know whether Chongzhen's three sons had escaped, they decided to find a prison from the princes from all over the country to stabilize the situation.

At that time in Nanjing, in addition to the little Fu King Zhu Youxiang who was close at hand, there were also King Gui and King Lu who were close in blood.

However, due to the old Fu Wang Guangzong's struggle for the crown prince and the deep enmity with the Donglin Party, now the old Fu Wang's son Xiaofu Wang is supported as the prison of the country, and the Donglin Party is emotionally unhappy.

The Donglin Party was the first to fire, and its leader Qian Qianyi threw out a theory of establishing a virtuous person, saying how King Lu was virtuous, so the cadres of the Donglin Party must resolutely support King Lu.

Isn't this a slap in the mouth of the Donglin Party itself? During the Wanli period, the Wanli Emperor thought that the Fu King was more virtuous than the Guangzong, and wanted to support the Fu King as the crown prince, so he came and went with the Donglin Party, and finally made the hatred between the monarchs and ministers, and the Wanli Emperor did not go to the early dynasty for more than ten years, which led to the waste of state affairs.

Besides, from a historical point of view, Guangzong is not good, not to mention anything else, less than a month after succeeding to the throne, the government is unstable, there is a blessed king outside, and Zheng Guifei is on the side, and Guangzong is poor and extravagant, and finally died in vain, and he is a faint monarch alive.

Zhu Youxiang, who was close to Huai'an, saw that public opinion in Nanjing, which was controlled by the Donglin Party, was turbulent, and he came out of power with a gun, and sent his cronies to contact Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldiers of the four towns in Jiangbei.

First, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, put pressure on Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, to force his boss to support King Fu as the emperor.

In this way, because of the selfishness of the Donglin Party, the Jiangbei military generals were too powerful, and the imperial court gradually lost control of the border generals, and finally failed to hold half of the Jiangnan.

Since the establishment of the Nanming regime, it has not clearly understood the general trend of national development, and has erroneously pursued the strategy of uniting with the captives to suppress the invaders, believing that the biggest threat to the Nanming regime is Li Zicheng's Dashun Army and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army, hoping to unite with the Barbarian Qing to jointly crusade against these two rebel armies, and finally achieve a situation of separating the north and south from the Barbarian Qing.

Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, close to the rebels' hometown of Shaanxi, and its strategic location is very important.

If Sichuan is in hand, it can go on a northern expedition like Zhuge Wuhou and form a outflanking trend against the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army.

If Sichuan is in the hands of the enemy, the enemy can completely take a boat down the Yangtze River, so Jingchu and Jiangnan are shaken, and it is difficult to preserve.

In order to recapture Sichuan, the Southern Ming Dynasty ordered the former cabinet scholar, Wang Yingxiong, a native of Ba County, Chongqing, to be the secretary of the military department and a scholar of Wenyuange.

Fan Yixing, a native of Yibin, was appointed as the right attendant of the military department and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to be specifically responsible for the suppression of bandits.

Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, Lake, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, opened the Zunyi Mansion and spread the news to various places to jointly crusade against Zhang Xianzhong and recover Sichuan.

Hearing the news, everyone was overjoyed, and everyone sighed that now the imperial court has mobilized heavy troops from the four provinces of Yungui and Huguang (that is, Hunan, Hubei, and from time to time, Hunan and Guangdong) to exterminate the rebellion of the Liukou.

Although Yang Xuan was also quite happy, in his subconscious, Zhang Xianzhong was a demon who killed people without blinking, and it was impossible for him to cooperate with him.

Now that the two governors, Wang Yingxiong and Fan Yixuan, have mobilized the soldiers and horses of Yunnan, Guihu, and Guangzhu provinces to jointly exterminate the Great Western Army, at least they don't need to be as worried as they were a few days ago.

Having said that, Yang Xuan did not dare to raise the banner of resistance immediately, Pengzhou is located in northern Sichuan, and Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, and Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, are all in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Emperor Zhu Yousong of the Southern Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, and as a modern person, it is impossible to have any deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty.

But now seeing everyone's jubilant appearance, Yang Xuan can't tell everyone that Zhu Yousong's claim to be the emperor is just a return to the light, and the Ming Dynasty will once again fall into a situation from which there will be no return.

In order to celebrate, Yang Xuan invited all his friends and generals to have a meal at the Zhizhou Yamen.

In the form of letters, the news of the accession to the throne of Zhu Yousong, the king of Xiaofu, and the appointment of Wang Yingxiong and Fan Yixuan as governors.

As the New Year approached, all the soldiers issued an extra 1 tael of silver for the New Year.

With the accession of Xiaofu Wang Zhu Yousong to the throne in Nanjing, Wang Yingxiong was appointed as the governor of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang and Guangzhou, and Fan Yixuan was appointed as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

First I heard a nursery rhyme on the street, on the street, in the dam, the child danced and sang: the thief, the thief, the upper realm sent him to behead someone, if one person can't cut it all, the evil monk will smash the back.

Other children sang: Every year in A, B, C, there is a river of blood here, there are houses and no one to live in, and there is no place to hoe

…………..

There is no doubt that all these nursery rhymes point to the Great Western Army and to Zhang Xianzhong, saying that he is a natural demon, and the lower realm comes to collect people and kill all the Sichuan people.

This is a nursery rhyme made up by people with intentions, but how can the common people of Li Min understand it? Some old men thought that this was a warning from heaven, and leaned on the door one by one, looked up at Changtian and sighed: "Hey, God, you are going to accept people again." God, what bad things have we done that you want us to do evil? “

When the young people heard these songs, they were terrified, and some even took bamboo sticks to teach the children, but the children had a rebellious mentality, and when they saw that the adults did not sing, they sang more happily.

All of a sudden, the news that Zhang Xianzhong was going to kill all the people in Sichuan spread throughout Chengdu, and the people of Chengdu were terrified all day long.

In the end, even Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi couldn't sit still, and hurriedly convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Everyone was hesitant and didn't dare to say it clearly, but Wang Zhaolin, the left prime minister who was born, saw through the mystery behind it at a glance.

This is those who have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, first make up the ballad, and then teach the children to sing, so that it will be spread in less than half a month.

But how to deal with it, Wang Zhaolin, the leftist prime minister from a well-founded background, chose the most stupid way, that is, to concentrate the readers and prevent them from continuing to make up jokes that are unfavorable to the Onishi regime.

According to Wang Zhaolin, Liu Bei entered Sichuan, and the local people were not satisfied and imposed severe laws and disciplines, so that in less than a few years, there was no one who dared to oppose again?

The Great Western Army, Zhang Xianzhong first entered Shu and announced a three-year tax reduction, what a benevolent move.

But the people of Sichuan are not only not grateful, but they also make up these gossips to slander the saint, and if no decisive measures are taken, it will be irreversible in the future.

For this reason, Wang Zhaolin proposed various measures to suppress public opinion and ensure local stability through severe punishment and strict laws.
