Chapter 302: A Moment of History
Since the day of fighting Li Zicheng's army, he never thought that it would be so smooth, although there were many twists and turns on the way, but after Sun Chuanting disappeared, the Ming court could not resist the attack of the peasant army, it can be said that many places along the way took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The wheel of history has not changed much because of the arrival of Australians, Li Zicheng still entered Beijing on that day in history, but before entering Beijing, he had sent people to negotiate with Emperor Chongzhen, which probably meant to divide the northwest and still respect Chongzhen as the emperor.
This condition is actually not too excessive, after all, he was already in the city at that time and grasped the initiative, but obviously both sides actually have their own ideas.
Although Li Zicheng occupies the north and the northwest generation, in fact, the Jiangnan generation is not within his rule, and it can even be said that the rich Jiangnan has a very high recognition of the Ming Dynasty, he has no confidence to take Jiangnan, so it is better to go back to be the king of the northwest and still let Chongzhen be the emperor.
It's just that Chongzhen and others didn't know any response in this situation, they just didn't agree, and in the end they could only hang themselves on the coal mountain.
The news of Chongzhen's hanging suicide was told by Zhou Yang to Shen Youlong, and now the news has not spread, I believe that it will not be long before it comes, and it will spread all over the country in three days at most.
Li Zicheng has entered Beijing, Shen Youlong doesn't believe that this is true, but looking at Zhou Yang, it doesn't look like he is lying, he knows the character of the other party, and he will never joke about this kind of thing, and there is nothing to joke about.
Australians know the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and joke about the Son of Heaven, which is disrespectful, so absolutely not.
Zhou Yang told Shen Youlong to prepare in advance, as soon as Chongzhen died, the whereabouts of the prince were unknown, and the world would inevitably be in chaos, not to mention that the kings in various places were bound to move.
Not to mention the princes and kings in various places, even the warlords who support their own troops will also have ideas, and no one wants to do anything to compete in the world and open up everything to build a foundation, and now it depends on who is the strongest.
However, Lao Shen has no idea about being the emperor, not to mention that he doesn't, even if he doesn't have any family members, this is more difficult, and when the Southern Ming Dynasty is formed, his existence will be very embarrassing.
Liangguang is an important source of financial revenue, and it can be said that this is a place that must be fought for, so that Lao Shen can make plans to avoid falling into the hands of others in the future.
The results here are just beginning to bear fruit, and it is inseparable from Shen Youlong's support at all, so he himself doesn't want this place to become someone else's.
It's not that he's greedy for rights, but he thinks some of the reform measures of Liangguang are very good, if they can be promoted in the whole Ming Dynasty in the future, they can solve a lot of problems, and they are not afraid of the problem of people not having enough food and clothing, without these problems, no one will rebel,
So he is more worried about who will be under the management of Liangguang in the future than Australia, Zhou Yang's reminder is not wrong, it is indeed necessary to make some plans, after all, if Chongzhen is really dead, then he will have to deal with various problems that may arise.
He doesn't want to be the emperor, so he must find someone who wants to be the emperor and has the blood of the Zhu family to do it, and he can't seem to think of any good candidates after thinking about it.
In the end, Zhou Yang proposed a candidate for him, that King Gui is a good candidate, although this person has no ability, but at least obedient, Shen Youlong wants to realize his ideal ambition must not be able to ask a person who is too capable to be the emperor, in case there is a dispute between the two of them, what should I do, if I don't listen, isn't it a blatant disobedience to the order, so in the end, I still need a more obedient person to do it.
As long as he listens to his own words and doesn't dictate his own affairs, he, the emperor, can always sit, and guarantees that his son will be able to sit in the future.
When Lao Shen thought of this, he seemed to find that he seemed to have changed a little, how to say it, this kind of thing would never have been done by himself before, but now he will actually do it, what does this mean, a person can indeed do it when the environment changes.
But fortunately, his original intention has not changed, and he still wants to give the people of the world a chance to live, and he does this completely out of such a purpose.
Under some self-comfort, Shen Youlongdu comforted himself with the idea that he was a little disrespectful in his thoughts, and then began to think again.
If the world is really in turmoil, how should he deal with it, whether to support a new emperor to come out immediately, or wait and see, in the end he still decided to wait and see, after all, immediately support a person to come out, which will make others think that he has a different heart and has long had this idea.
Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao was not the only one who had done such a thing in history, but there were many people who had done it, so he couldn't let others feel that it had something to do with him.
The most important thing is that he is not very greedy for rights, but he thinks that some of the systems in Australia are very good, and if they can be introduced well, maybe it will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty in the future, but if you want to achieve this, you must have rights, and you don't have the right to implement it.
This can be said to be a dilemma, if you want your ideas to be realized, you must first have greater rights, and if you don't have rights, you can't put them into practice.
In order to put his ideals and ideas into practice, and at the same time preserve the existing achievements of the two Guangzhous, Shen Youlong decided to send people to bring King Gui to Guangzhou as a precaution, and he also gathered some troops in some places on the border with Fujian to prepare.
In the eyes of everyone, these arrangements of his are actually not simple arrangements, and they are obviously big moves, but the officials of Liangguang are collectively silent, they are not ignorant of these, they just think that maybe Shen Youlong is going to be determined to oppose the imperial court.
Following Lao Shen, they are still very willing, at least much better than the previous days, under this kind of first feeling condition, they can think of this, and they will not think that Chongzhen is dead, not to mention that they will not think of it, even now Shen Yulong still has a little doubt.
If it weren't for the long time he had been with Zhou Yang, he would definitely not believe in such a thing, of course, the most important thing was that he didn't believe that the Ming army was defeated like this.
In the evening of the next day, the news came that Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, and Li Zicheng entered Beijing.
When the news came, the entire southern officialdom fell into a wail, but while lamenting the sorrow, some people with ideas couldn't help but start jumping out, and they wanted officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River to obey their orders under the banner of avenging the former king.
