Originally, the Manchu Qing outside the customs was suddenly divided, which was already an unexpected joy, and the people in the Beijing division were congratulating the King of Qi on his great achievements, and everyone was beaming.

But it didn't take long for the shocking news to come that the Qi army had been defeated.

This time the Qi army was defeated in a frontal battle for the first time, and Shao Yong, the commander of Ning Tao, who had followed Wang Zheng from the land of Denglai, was famous, but this time he died in Yunnan and failed to continue the legend.

Shao Yong's opponent is a little-known man named Li Dingguo.

It was this little person who, when almost all of the remaining three routes of the Great Western Army suffered setbacks, single-handedly extended the place controlled by the Great Western Army to Yunnan.

The situation in Yunnan and Guizhou, which has always been stable and stable, has unexpectedly undergone this change, and Zhang Xianzhong, who could not even win Zuo Liangyu, also said that the emperor wanted to be the emperor, and the scholar Li Zicheng established a big west.

This sounded like a joke to my ears at first, even if Li Zicheng could not resist the powerful offensive of the Qi army, it would be able to sway Daxi in Sichuan, and it was estimated that it would be pacified in a few months.

So when this news came out, almost everyone listened to it as a joke, and even Wang Zheng, who was busy with his busy schedule, ignored the existence of Li Dingguo in history.

The Daxi army is divided into four routes, and the rest is good to say, after Sun Kewang in the north defeated Han Huamei, the mighty general of the Dashun army, Liu Fangliang led the army to meet him.

On the one hand, Dashun was defeated one after another, losing almost all the land except Shaanxi, and the morale of the army had dropped to a low point, and a victory was urgently needed to boost morale.

On the other hand, the Dashun army was still full of disdain for the newly established Onishi.

In the war between the two old rivals, Daxi and Dashun, Daxi did not get any bargains, and Sun Kewang was not Liu Fangliang's opponent at all, and he was almost beaten back to Sichuan after a few defeats.

Liu Wenxiu was not easy either, he initially took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and vowed to capture Shandong itself.

But in fact, Liu Wenxiu's Daxi Army was attacked head-on by Gao Jie's Qi army in Huguang as soon as it left Sichuan, and now Gao Jie and Chen Yongfu are in one place, invincible, and even entered Daxi's Sichuan territory, it seems that there will be no big problems.

This incident makes people feel embarrassed, when they were originally the chief soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Jie and Chen Yongfu did not have any outstanding performance on the battlefield.

But the same person, when he arrived in the Qi army system, with a group of different soldiers and horses, was so brave and established great military exploits.

Chen Yongfu is the hero of Wang Zheng's ability to quickly unify Henan, which is needless to say, since Gao Jie came to Nanjing last year to defect, he and Zuo Guangxian ran everywhere, contacting the local court gentry in Huguang, and did their best for the Qi army to take Huguang.

Now the Central Plains region is no longer so war-torn, and the five provinces of the Central Plains, which were originally the most chaotic, are now basically within the jurisdiction of the current King of Qi, and the Qi army can be seen everywhere expanding and rectifying.

Since Dashun withdrew from Beizhili, it was a rout all the way, and the Qi army basically didn't have to chase it, and the original places that belonged to Dashun were all attached to the table.

Among them, such as Jiang Xiang, who guarded Datong, and Wang Chengmeng, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu of the original Ming Court, all turned away the Dashun army early, and this is not all, they expelled the officials of the original Dashun and beat the water dogs.

For these people, because Wang Zheng has no effort to deal with them now, he directly reinstates them to their posts, but the soldiers and horses under his command must accept the rectification of the Qi army.

In addition, the rising Tumut relied on the materials of the Central Plains to continue to deal with the Northern Five Ministries, and even the Manchu Qing outside the Guanxi fell apart after the First Battle of Shengjing.

Dashun and Daxi can only occupy the two provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan, and it can be said that since the end of Wanli, the situation in the world has never been so good.

The defeat of the Great Shun Army, the Korean vassals, the Mongol tribute, and the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all of these are the signs of the revival of China.

What to persuade, that is, let the current King of Qi ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

After Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor, this statement spread even more in Beizhili, and everyone looked forward to the king of Qi who ruled the world to ascend the throne as the emperor, because there were many fake emperors in the world, and there was a lack of a true son of heaven who could really speak and work.

This time, Wang Zheng's attitude was unclear and secret, neither directly refused as he did in Nanjing, nor did he agree to it, but he just didn't hear it.

But the Wenchen generals under the jurisdiction of the Qi army are not fools, Wang Zheng's attitude, it means that there is a play, Li Yan, as the chief of staff of the Staff Office, and Guan Qingtian, the special adviser, were pushed out by everyone to mention this matter.

On this day, the staff of the Staff Office gathered in a small courtyard in the depths of the Forbidden City, and everyone was smiling with excitement, discussing something fiercely, and there were two petty officials standing outside the door.

Originally, the matter at hand was put aside by everyone, and the topic that should have been discussed at this time became how to make King Qi rightfully ascend the throne as emperor.

"Lord Li, here is the top for you and Lord Guan to stay by King Qi's side, and it is up to the two of you to mention it together, and everyone follows the rules and persuasion, which is obviously the most appropriate."

Originally, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department of the Ming Dynasty, is now a section chief of the Military Affairs Department of the Staff Office, although the position is much smaller than the original six books, but he is very happy.

The things you do in this position are really practical, you can give full play to your talents, and if you don't finish a business, you will even have a deep sense of accomplishment, and there is nothing like an inside story like party struggle that needs to be paid attention to.

Li Yan sat on the seat, constantly tapping his favorite table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's not easy to be in a hurry, since ancient times, there have been three times of joint persuasion by hundreds of officials, the first time is tomorrow, the second time is at the end of this month, and the third time is at the beginning of the first month of next year."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone echoed one after another, Guan Qingtian clapped his hands and said:

"Now the meaning of King Qi is very clear, although there is Li Dingguo's mess, but the general trend is unstoppable, and those who are courtiers should share their worries for the Lord, today, I will discuss all the things that should be dealt with here."

Li Yan nodded and said with a smile:

"What Master Guan said is right, everyone can speak freely, and no entries can be missed."

Zhang Guowei first proposed that the date and place of his accession to the throne should be well chosen.

Everyone discussed for a while, in terms of location, Wuying Hall is majestic and magnificent, the closest to the sky, it is obviously the best choice, as for the date, it is not in a hurry now, there are too many things that need to be prepared such as etiquette and clothing, and you must choose an auspicious day of the zodiac.

Minister of Agriculture Chen Zilong said that when he ascended the throne, the new lunar calendar needed to be issued immediately in the world, which was the key to stabilizing the order of the farm, because the previous Ming Dynasty had not issued a lunar calendar for many years.

Everyone agreed, Wang Zheng didn't say these things, but it doesn't mean that he didn't think of them.

Gu Junen immediately proposed that on the day of his accession to the throne, he must gather famous civil and military generals in Beijing, so that the people of the world can see how strong the Qi army is that has changed the dynasty.

Therefore, it is necessary to immediately issue an edict stipulating the date of arrival in Beijing for foreign civil and military officials.

After asking Guan Qingtian, Li Yan decided to set the date of enthronement next year, the first month of the second year of Lu Jianguo, which is also three days after the third persuasion of civil and military ministers.

There is still more than half a month to prepare, although it may not be enough, but it can only be regarded as one day and two days.

After all, the world has been in turmoil for many years, and the people need an emperor with all kinds of civil and martial arts to lead them to peace.
