Chapter 519: Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng
In terms of approach, Wang Zheng and Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang are not without similarities, but the situation is slightly different, when Zhu Yuanzhang took Jinling at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were already several secession regimes in the south of the Yangtze River.
Like Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youliang, they are basically famous leaders in the righteous army, and they became kings earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers are not the most strong, the money is not the most, and the territory is sandwiched in the middle, but Wang Zheng's situation is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Not to mention Nanzhili, looking at the entire Jiangnan, except for those scholars who criticize and write and shout all over the place all day long, other Ming civil and military generals, as well as Xun Qi, basically no one dares to speak out openly and confront Wang Zheng.
Even if a civil servant or military general in a certain place dares to do this, it won't take half a month, even if it is far away, Wang Zheng can send a large army to take it down for you, because there can only be one voice in Jiangnan.
On the New Year's Day of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was a bleak scene, and Chongzhen returned to the dormitory in the wild sand, sullen.
But thousands of miles away in the ancient capital of Xi'an, as well as the accompanying capital of Nanjing, they are all singing and dancing and firecrackers.
The very aggrieved New Year's Day Chaohe finally endured the past, but Emperor Chongzhen received two shocking news three days later.
The first is Li Zicheng, he actually proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an on New Year's Day, announced to the world the establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty, and took Li Jiqian, who was the son of Laoshi, to move to Taizu, change Xi'an to Xijing, and change Yuan Yongchang, and gave Chongzhen an aggressive challenge letter.
Li Zicheng has begun to divide the fifth-class knighthood of meritorious heroes, change the cabinet into the Tianyou Palace, and set up the university Shipingzhang political affairs, divided into six governments, each free and one Shangshu in charge.
There are also officials such as defense envoys, government officials, state ministers, and county commanders, as well as government officials, Li Xing, and county officials.
In terms of military generals, the left and right battalions of Xinshun were originally redivided into five battalions: left, right, front, rear, and center, and the detailed structure of military generals at all levels has also been released, namely General Quan, General System, General Guoyi, General Weiwu, Captain, Brigade Commander, and Department General.
To put it bluntly, although Li Zicheng's so-called official positions are complicated, in the eyes of the Ming officials who have long been ready to join Dashun and change the dynasty, it is just a change of name for their own titles.
Within the Dashun Army, most of them are not very accustomed to this new title, like Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, although they are prime ministers, most people still call them two military advisors.
There is also Gao Yigong and others who call Li Zicheng like this, or King Chuang calls him like this, everyone feels smooth, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and he pays attention to righteousness.
In the final analysis, Li Zicheng's descendants are the largest, so he became the emperor, and if you want to say that his subordinates have any fear of him, it is not much, most of them are respectful.
In the eyes of the people in the Wang Zheng system in Nanjing, Li Zicheng said that these so-called establishments were not following the path taken by the Shandong Army and eating the steamed buns that he had gnawed.
The Shandong Army has long been divided into five battalions, and seeing that the new military system is about to be reformed again, at this time, you Li Zicheng has created another five battalions, and the name is left, right, front and back, and there is no momentum at all.
However, Li Zicheng seems to have some long-term goals this time, to establish Dashun, and the first decree on the first day after New Year's Day is to implement the military tun.
Li Zicheng's military tun is different from Wang Zheng, all the local gentry of the Dashun army were killed, they were all killed and burned by strong light, and they did not carry out the work of re-entering the book, in order to break the reputation of the king and the Dashun army, they were all apportioned casually.
While this practice is very confusing, there are too many loopholes for people with ulterior motives to exploit loopholes.
However, in the eyes of people up and down in Dashun, this policy is simply clever, and Song Xiance, who put it forward, is still complacent, thinking that he has become a famous man in the world.
According to the conventions of history, Li Zicheng and Chuang Jun, who have achieved the step of founding the country and becoming the emperor, can no longer be regarded as rogues led by the Caotou King.
Even those homeless people at the bottom, this time the clothing is basically unified, at least they are equipped with simple leather armor and waist knives and spears, the establishment is quite complete, and the banner of Dashun is printed everywhere.
After all, the originally relatively large peasant army in this world, such as the Fourth Battalion of Gezuo, Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, has basically been annexed by Li Zicheng except for those who went to Shandong.
Now there is only one Zhang Xianzhong struggling in Sichuan, and in recent days he has met his old rival Zuo Liangyu, and it seems that the establishment of Dashun seems to be really some destiny in it.
Dashun was established on New Year's Day, and there were three emperors in the world, one was Emperor Shunzhi outside the Guan, one was Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing, and the other was his Emperor Li Zicheng.
Of course, the current Wang Zheng is still within the Ming Dynasty system, the title is just an Anton candidate, and the glory and wealth are at least rewarded by the imperial court on the bright side, and they are not in the bureau.
In the eyes of many insiders, after Li Zicheng established Dashun, Wang Zheng and the Shandong Army were much weaker in momentum no matter what they did in Jiangnan.
Look at what my Dashun is, it is a brand-new dynasty, do you understand the change of dynasty, what is the Shandong army, in the final analysis, it is still an official army.
The challenge letter received by Chongzhen was aggressive, and the registration office also specially marked the name of Dashun Yongchang, Li Zicheng meant to remind Chongzhen and the important ministers of the Ming court that Dashun had already fought against them.
The style of this challenge book seems to be nothing remarkable, it should be written by a broken show, Chongzhen thought that Li Zicheng despised the emperor's prestige, and was furious, and tore the challenge book to shreds on the spot.
It didn't take long for a memora to come from Nanjing, signed by Anton Hou, Zuo Dudu, and Wang Zheng, the chief soldier of Shandong.
At this time, he realized that Li Zicheng did not deliberately use the broken Xiucai to write a challenge book, but that there were no celebrities under his hands at all.
Wang Zheng's tone in the letter seemed to respect a lot, and he couldn't find the slightest fault, and still called himself a minister, saying that he was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and the thief was called the emperor in Xi'an.
And Wang Zheng made it clear in the recital that the Shandong army could respect the imperial court, crusade against rebellion for Tianxingdao, and even destroy the great shun for Chongzhen.
Of course, this must be done with sufficient benefits, and Wang Zheng must be crowned King of Ning, and have the right to appoint his own official office, which is the minimum.
Moreover, he can make his own decisions in all affairs in Jiangnan, and the imperial court cannot interfere arbitrarily.
The pen of the letter is hard and not very skilled, but Chongzhen knows at a glance that this is written by Wang Zheng himself.
This twist is in stark contrast to Li Zicheng's challenge book, Li Zicheng's one is obviously written by an unnamed shabby Xiucai, maybe it is the so-called military master Song Xiance.
But Wang Zheng is unusual, Chongzhen summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter, and the scholar Chen Yan thought that this recital was very likely to be written by Chen Zilong, a famous scholar in Jiangnan, and Mao Xiang, and it may even be written by them jointly.
This twist and turn is actually Wang Zheng's declaration to the people of the world that he not only holds the most powerful soldiers and horses, but also has both civil and military skills and talents.
Li Zicheng? I just haven't found the time yet!
In the Shandong Army, even those Donglin scholars who usually ridicule themselves can still be entrusted with important tasks after abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, so as to recruit more talents and let the important ministers of the court redefine the Shandong Army.
Wang Zheng didn't care about these things, no matter what the title, it was not as important as the power in hand, but the civil and military ministers of the Shandong Army below didn't think so.
Li Zicheng is an emperor and has built a country, if he is still a marquis, even if he holds a lot of power, it is too much to say, it looks good or not!
This kind of thing is not only very much agreed by the people in the Shandong Army, but also the former imperial court relatives who are attached to it are very active.
In fact, there are many marquis with the same title as Wang Zheng in Nanjing, not to mention the entire Jiangnan, and he follows another marquis, and the name is not like that at all.
In the end, Wang Zheng couldn't stop the trend of the times, he always had to give some benefits to his subordinates, and those relatives who came over should also have a better reputation.
Therefore, in December of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Anton Hou Wang Zheng ordered Chen Zilong, Mao Xiang, and Li Wen, the great talents of the original restoration society, to write this recital.
More talents is good, as long as Wang Zheng mentions the requirements, these great talents can produce articles in different ways, and none of them are the same.
But Wang Zheng didn't know anything about rhetoric and poetry, and when he saw this, his eyes were black, and he didn't understand what it meant at all, so he could only hand them over to the staff office with his eyes closed, let them discuss and discuss, and just watch the selection of one and hand it over.
