Chapter 500: The Establishment of a New Dynasty (Finale)
The assassination of the Yongli Emperor, for the Southern Ming Dynasty, is no less than a great change of the heavens and the earth, especially in the case of the new death of the King of Lu and the leaderlessness of the dragons, it is even more panicked.
Chen Jin was brutally imprisoned and tortured, but he didn't even know the name of the person who sent the treasure, let alone others, since he surrendered, his subordinates were washed, and people from the Kuizhou and Zhaoqing departments were mixed in, and no one could tell where the person came from and how he got into Chaohe's team.
The assassin's drunken "avenge King Lu" before his death can probably be used as the basis for the verdict, but Qu Shiyun and others have no intention of pursuing who it is, the key question is, who will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
When Yongli was assassinated, there were thousands of pairs of eyes watching, the news could not be hidden, and it was not a way to delay, but the artesian thieves rose everywhere, the Tartars went south, and the Ming clan was almost killed, and the Tang King, Gui Wang, and Lu Wang, who had fled south, died one after another, and not even a single descendant remained.
The courtiers are in a hurry to find the surviving Zhu family clan, but like thunder heard a news--- the third day of the assassination of Emperor Yongli, far away in Datong's princess mansion announced the world, because the emperor was assassinated, the prince has no queen, strong enemies are around, internal troubles are one after another, and the Ming Dynasty can not be without a monarch for a day, in order to solve the national difficulties and immediately, Princess Changping listened to the government in the court, enthroned as the empress in Beijing City, changed the Yuan Jianwu, opened six departments to set up a hundred officials, and rebuilt the Taiji Palace in the Forbidden City.
The ministers of Zhaoqing did not react, and then heard the second blockbuster news: the empress issued an edict, ordering the Duke of Liangguo Wang Huan to be the regent, in charge of state affairs, leading ten thousand troops, abolishing the celebrant and the regent palace.
One news after another, the people could hardly bear it, and the Kuizhou department of the whole country almost instantly moved when they heard the news, and under the deployment of a strong central command system, they began to support the proclamation of the eldest princess's mansion at the same time, and there was an endless stream of twists and turns to Beijing to claim the ministers, and even Fujian and Huguang had officials on the table.
Zhaoqing's reaction was obviously slower, the court was arguing endlessly, facing the ownerless Jinluan Palace, the Wenchen generals debated fiercely, some people think that the descendants of the Ming clan are difficult to find, even if they find one or two, most of them are distant relatives who are separated by I don't know how many generations, compared with the closeness of the Changping princess Chengchongzhen Emperor, it is much inferior, although the empress is a little unreliable, but in a hurry, there is no other way.
Li Chengdong and others resolutely opposed it, and began to gather troops to protect themselves, I don't know where to find a person who called himself the Zhu family, pretended to be the emperor, and ascended the throne in Zhaoqing, but at this time, it has been a month since Princess Changping became the emperor.
The regent Wang Huan has been thunderous speed, so that the Kuizhou system along the Yangtze River to the south, first with the letter written by Princess Changping herself to recruit the plug Yinxi and the loyal battalion, and then with the thunder to crush He Tengjiao, Chen Bing Yuezhou, the soldiers directly approached Guangxi.
The king of Yanping County in Fujian wavered, he was loyal to Emperor Longwu, and claimed to be the surname of the Ming Dynasty, although Wang Huan's methods were impeccable, but he was somewhat uncomfortable.
Nanjing's ancestor Tianci did not force him, but the army recovered Zhejiang, overwhelmed Fujian, surrounded but did not fight, detoured to Jiangxi to attack Guangdong, and fought with Li Chengdong in Ganzhou, with more than 100 cannons, which destroyed the Guangdong soldiers and made Li Chengdong flee south for the third time.
The entire civil war ended a year later, Qu Shiyun led hundreds of officials out of the city, dressed in jade seals, and surrendered to Xu Tiezhu, who was the first to attack Zhaoqing City, and was willing to serve Empress Changping as the heir.
In the second year, Zheng Chenggong of Fujian isolated Shenzhou, there was no help from outside and no help from within, and he had to raise for a long time, so he had to submit a table to the empress, and was willing to attach the whole province to it.
When the civil strife in the Ming court, Jierharang outside the customs went out of the mountain to harass, and was hit by Wang Ying, and the lost soldiers retreated.
……
It is another year of spring blossoms, on the Chinese Pavilion of the Forbidden City, Wang Huan is on the top fifth floor of the independent building, there is no one in the building, and purple smoke is filled.
On all sides of the building wall, there is a circle of portraits painted, all of which are portraits, vivid, and distinctive, obviously from the master's paintings.
In each painting, there is a small novice, with a bald head in Mai, who is cute and cute, or meditating and participating in meditation, or hurrying with a burden, a fireworker monk, swinging an axe and cutting wood, sweating profusely but smiling. The painting scroll surrounds the surroundings, and you are in it, as if you are in the interior side by side with the person in the painting.
In the middle of the room, there is a huge painting hanging, painting a lonely mountain with a thousand blades, on the top of the cliff, a group of small novices glared angrily, looking at a group of Qing soldiers who came up from the mountain waving stone branches, take a closer look, this group of little monks is the characters in the four murals.
Wang Huan closed his eyes before standing in front of the painting, and his ears seemed to hear the shouts on the top of the stone mountain again, and the scenes of the past flashed in his mind.
The window was open, the wind was blowing, whimpering like a cry, Wang Huan clenched his fists, almost bleeding. He stood for a moment, opened his eyes, turned abruptly, and went downstairs.
The wind swept up the canvas, revealing a big "new" character behind the scroll, the handwriting was flying, the pen was walking dragon and snake, and the person who wrote this word must have written under the inexplicable mood of grief and indignation.
On the school field outside the noon gate, the flag flew and the iron armor was ringing, the soldiers were fighting iron horses, the shadow of the sword was light, and the huge "Ming" character banner was upside down in the west wind, and the white-armored soldiers under the shadow of the flag were lined up in rows, lined up into a phalanx, standing behind an iron cannon.
Accompanied by Li Dingguo, Li Tingyu and other generals, the regent Wang Huan rode a white horse, crossed a long knife, wrapped in red, paraded troops in the wilderness, and sent troops to Shanhaiguan to start the Northern Expedition.
