Chapter 410: The Fat Man Dominates the Jingshi

Lu Fatzi moved into the Forbidden City on the ninth day of the seventh month, although because the palaces in the Forbidden City have not been completely cleared of danger, Lu Fatzi can only live in the square in front of the Taihe Hall - that is, the square where Lu Fatzi and Xie Dong formed a bad relationship, but Lu Fatzi still took the time to enter the Taihe Palace, that is, the Jinluan Palace, which represents the supreme imperial power, to vent the joy and excitement of regaining the Forbidden City, a treasure of China, for his compatriots. [No pop-up novel network]

It is also said that Lu Fatzi is still the first time to enter the Jinluan Palace, and he has no time to study in the 21st century, and when he comes to this era, the last time he entered the Forbidden City, Lu Fatzi was only a seven-grade sesame official, even if he participated in the opening ceremony, he was kneeling in the square outside the gate of the Jinluan Palace, and he was not qualified to step into the Jinluan Palace at all - but only Kang Mazi's absolute cronies and henchmen were qualified to enter the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Lu Fatzi entered it a few times. This time as a victor to revisit the old place, Lu Fatzi naturally wanted to take a good look at what kind of virtue the Jinluan Palace was, and wanted to stand in front of that chair and think carefully about whether he should sit on it?

It's not all joy, at least as soon as he walked to the gate of the Taihe Palace, a sight made Lu Fat Man extremely unhappy, as disgusting as eating a fly - on the plaque at the main gate of the Taihe Palace, there is a line of crooked mite text like a dog crawling a dead snake, and it is still ranked in front of the square Chinese characters! Fat Lu also immediately ordered, pointing to the plaque and shouting: "Come on, go up to this king, and smash the words full of dogs to this king!" This is our Chinese's place, can't let the disgusting dog words get dirty! ”

"Order!" Liu Zhen and Liu Xu brothers hugged their fists and agreed, and together they went to the eaves, pulled out their waist knives and turned the handle, and smashed the disgusting mite text on the plaque, and smashed the disgusting mite text in a blink of an eye. Lu Fatzi was still angry, and turned to the civil and military forces behind him and shouted: "Pass the order, not a single mite is allowed in the Forbidden City, all of them are smashed and dug!" ”

"Obey the will of the prince!" The fat army agreed neatly, and quickly arranged for the sergeant to send orders to all the armies to destroy all the disgusting mites in the Forbidden City. Huang Yanbo, the fat man who went out with the army (equivalent to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites), also saluted again and said: "Lord Qiqi, I think that we should completely remove the traces of the mite Qing barbarian in the Forbidden City, and we should also destroy the books and documents of the mite Qing barbarian, abolish the court etiquette, customs, clothes and hats and ornaments left by the mite Qing barbarian, and reformulate a set of our own court rules in the Great Zhou." ”

"That's right, these should be abolished." Fat Lu nodded with great satisfaction, and ordered: "Father-in-law, you are a member of the Ministry of Rites, so I will leave these things to you, organize the Han officials of the Ministry of Rites who surrendered, and reformulate a set of etiquette rules and regulations for our Great Zhou." As for the books and documents left by Mangou, they are translated into Chinese characters and archived and then destroyed, and the same is true for the Mangou books in the private collection, all of which are confiscated and archived and destroyed, and the Ming edict is issued to the world. ”

"Obey the king's orders." Huang Yanbo respectfully agreed, and happily took over the task of completely eradicating the mite poison culture.

"One more point." Lu Fatzi remembered something again, and shouted: "Whether it is in the official or in the people, it is no longer allowed to call any Manchu Han according to the custom of Manchu dogs, such as Manchu and Han full seats, Manchu and Han harmony, Manchu and Han contradictions or something, that is Mangou deliberately humiliating us Han people, putting Mangou in front and letting people stand behind the dog!" The character Han must be put in the forefront, and those who dare to put the Manchu character in front of the Chinese character will be severely punished according to the severity of the circumstances, and those who are particularly bad can be put to death! At this point, Doctor Zhu, you led the person who led the criminal Cao to cooperate with Huang Yuanwai to formulate a detailed set of criminal laws as soon as possible, and issue them to the world. ”

"Obey the order." Huang Yanbo and Zhu Fangdan agreed together, but they secretly admired Lu Fatzi's hatred for the Mites Qing Dynasty - he really hated it to the bone marrow. But Lu Fatzi was not satisfied, and specially gave an order, so that the official documents of the Great Zhou Dynasty changed the word "Man" involving the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the word "mite", in order to retaliate against the destruction of Chinese culture by the Qing court, Huang Yanbo and Zhu Fangdan and others agreed again, Lu Fatzi nodded contentedly, and led a large group of civil and military lackeys into the hall with a swagger.

The Jinluan Palace, built by absorbing countless Chinese blood and sweat, is naturally brilliant, so that Lu Fatzi and the Fat Army's dirt buns have really opened their eyes, and the voices of surprise are also in the Jinluan Palace, deliberately currying favor with Lu Fatzi and scolding the Qing Dynasty for entrenched here, but when Lu Fatzi walked to the dragon chair in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, the Jinluan Palace suddenly fell silent, and every big and small lackey of the Fat Army was holding their breath, patiently waiting for Lu Fatzi's next move, That is, I want to see if Fat Lu will sit on this dragon chair?

"Lord Wang, you can't sit on it yet, we still have the biggest and strongest enemy of the Honghua Imperial Court, at this time, we will have no advantage in holding the edict to order the princes." Some of the clear-minded civil and military officials of the Fat Man Army quietly shouted in their hearts, but these people did not dare to dissuade them, because at this time, the only one who could prevent Lu Fatzi from sitting on this chair was Lu Fatzi himself, and other people opened their mouths to dissuade them, and they didn't want to mix in the new court in the future.

"Lord, sit up, you will be the emperor when you sit up, and you don't need to help the Honghua court fight the world to make a wedding dress." There are also some fat army civil and military forces who are ready to kneel and knock three times, just wait for Lu Fatzi to make up his mind to sit on that chair, and then he can kowtow and persuade him to go into the Honghua Imperial Court completely.

"Young master, sit down, you sit down, I am the head of the imperial guard." Xiao Erlang's heart was more direct.

After waiting for a long time, Fat Man Lu finally turned around, aimed his butt at the dragon chair, and the heart of the fat man's civil and military officials also beat violently at once, but Fat Man Lu suddenly pointed to the dragon chair and asked, "You say, is this dragon chair pure gold or gold-filled?" ”

The sound of a human body falling down sounded in the Jinluan Palace, and Yao Qisheng, a soldier of the Fat Army, replied with a smile: "Back to the prince, if the historical records are correct, the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace should be a gilded copper chair, that is, the gold powder and mercury are mixed together and coated on the copper chair, and then the mercury is dried, and the gold powder is firmly gilded on the dragon chair." ”

"It turned out to be a gilded copper chair, I thought it was a pure gold dragon chair." Fat Lu looked a little disappointed, waved his fat hand and said: "But it's not strange, if it's pure gold, how can the old witch of the Empress Dowager Mangou be left to this king?" ”

After that, Lu Fatzi instructed again: "Let's do this about the Forbidden City, after cleaning up all the palaces and palaces, seal them all except for the Wuying Palace, clean up the Wuying Palace, and act as the temporary residence of the king in Yanjing, where the king takes care of the government and military, and how to deal with the other palaces, I will talk about it later." ”

"Obey the will of the prince." The fat army and the civil and military agreed together, and they also quietly breathed a sigh of relief together, understanding that Lu Fatzi still has the ambition to usurp the throne after all, but he feels that the time and immaturity are hidden - otherwise, if Lu Fatzi really has no intention of usurping the throne, he should find a palace in the capital to live, and now Lu Fatzi seals most of the Forbidden City palace and lives in the Wuying Palace, which not only blocks the mouths of the world's people, but also implies that the civil and military officials of the Fat Army, Lu Fatzi can move into the Qianqing Palace at any time to settle down.

Of course, there were also speculators who knelt down on their knees on the spot, begging Lu Fatzi to ascend the throne and become emperor with tears. These snobs are also asked to keep their mouths shut and never mention a word about this kind of thing from now on, otherwise, they will be severely punished!

In a word, being an emperor is much harder than a farmer who picks dung and farms, since ancient times, Huang Yanjing had to sit in this position for the sake of the common people in the world, our Lord Lu does not have the great mind of worrying about the world first, and he is afraid of hard work, so the drudgery of the emperor is still left to Emperor Honghua. As for whether Emperor Honghua can persist in this post, it depends on whether he is lucky enough to come to the Forbidden City alive to sit in this position.

In the next few days, the Fat Army mainly did three things, one was to eliminate the remnants of the enemy in the inner city of Yanjing, the second was to appease the Han people in the outer city of Yanjing, search and kill the mites who fled into the outer city to hide, and the third was to clean up the corpses on the battlefield of Yanjing, so as not to cause a plague caused by these corpses.

Of course, the Fat Army was handy in destroying the remnants of the enemy and slaughtering the banner people in the inner city, and the military discipline was disbanded for seven days, but it was less than four days, except for a small number of banner women who were plundered as camps, there was no living banner man in the entire inner city of Yanjing, and the Fat Army had to seal the knife on the fifth day to stop killing. The pacification of the Han people in the outer city is also very smooth, although the people in the outer city who have suffered from ethnic discrimination may not all support the liberators of the Fat Army from the bottom of their hearts, but they will not go to the mantis arm as a car to take a knife and the Fat Army desperately, as soon as the notice of the Fat Army's security comes out, the patrol of the Fat Army that maintains law and order in the outer city goes to the street again, and the market in the outer city of Yanjing quickly settles down, and the mite Qingqi people hiding in the outer city are also pulled out one by one and presented to the Fat Army, and then accept the punishment they deserve.

There were also countless literati, mites of the Qing and Han dynasties, and tribute scholars from all over the country who gathered in Yanjing to wait for the imperial examination, such as the famous Wang Zhihe, who also rushed to the Fat Army, asking to serve the Fat Army, hoping to take this opportunity to become a powerful person in the new dynasty. But it is also their luck, the Fat Army that urgently needs talents to form a new dynasty team basically does not refuse them, and many people have become low-level civilian officials of the Fat Army as they wish.

The only thing that is more troublesome is to clean up the battlefield in the inner city and clean up the dead bodies, because it coincides with the summer, many dead bodies began to stink on the second day of the destruction of Yanjing City, forcing the Fat Army to start cleaning up the dead bodies on the battlefield the next day, and transported them to the Zuojiazhuang Human Farm in the eastern suburbs outside the city to burn, but with the escalation of the revenge against the mite Qingqi people, the auxiliary army of the Fat Army began to have a shortage of manpower. Fortunately, the populous Zhili Gyeonggi City lacked nothing, that is, there was no shortage of manpower, and the salary of three catties of rice and 20 wen a day was opened, and immediately thousands of people joined the corpse collection team of the Fat Army, cleaning up the dead bodies in the inner city and pulling them outside the city to be burned or buried deeply.

In the five days from the eighth day of July to the thirteenth day of July, how many banner people the Fat Army killed in the inner city of Yanjing has always been the top secret of the Fat Army, and the officials of the Fat Army who participated in the statistics and Lu Fatzi himself have kept silent about this data, and when these people are all gone, only the descendants of Lu Fatzi are qualified to know, and they have never been declassified from the outside world. This is a later story, so I won't mention it here.

In the following days, before the main force of the Fat Army went out again, the provinces and counties around the capital that received the news of the Fat Army's capture of the capital had already sent a surrender table, and took the initiative to cut off the rat's tail and surrender to the Fat Army. Lu Fatzi did not refuse, accepted all of them, and also spread the word that he was directly subordinate to Zhucheng, saying that as long as he took the initiative to surrender, including mite officials and generals, as long as he was not a slave with four surnames, he could spare his life and not kill, and he would be retained at the original level, but if he dared to disobey, the banner people in the inner city of Yanjing would be their end!

In addition to Bo Guoduo, the prince of Qingzhuang who was stationed at Shanhaiguan, including Juyongguan, Zhangjiakou and Gubeikou, the mite Qing generals and officials in the throat area took the initiative to cut braids and send books, and surrendered to the fat army--but this is not surprising, Jieshu had already completely evacuated the Qing army in these places in order to defend the capital, and the key points were as important as Gubeikou, and there were only a few dozen Qing soldiers in total. If the Qing generals in these places don't take the initiative to surrender, they really want to wait for the fat army to cut off them and their heads, and ride the bodies of their wives and daughters?

In this way, the speed of the Fat Army's recovery of the old land of China is naturally faster, and in less than a month after capturing the capital, all the land west of Zhangjiakou on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty has returned to the hands of the Fat Army, and the large and small passes on the Great Wall have all fallen into the clutches of the Fat Army in addition to Shanhaiguan. At the same time, the Mongolian tribes north of the Great Wall once again played the grass nature of the wall, and sent envoys to meet Lu Fatzi to test the sincerity of Lu Fatzi's acceptance, and Lu Fatzi pushed the boat down the river, and quickly issued an edict to Mongolia with the regent of the Great Zhou, announcing that all the Mongolian tribes, except for the Horqin Department from the old witch of Xiaozhuang, would accept surrender, allow these Mongolian tribes to pay tribute and be feudal, trade and trade, and also sealed the Bulni brothers who died against the Qing Dynasty and the Great Zhou Wangjue, and set these two dead people as an example to the Mongolian tribes.

There is also an interesting result of Huairou to the Mongolian tribes, that is, Lu Fatzi pinched his nose and was forced to marry two Mongolian wives from the Mongolian royal family, and also booked a few Mongolian little girls for his two sons to be wives in the future.

Of course, during this period, the fat army that had Li Zicheng's experience has never relaxed its vigilance against Shanhaiguan, and on July 13, the knife was sealed, and on July 15, Gao Qi, the general of the fat army, had already led an army of 10,000 to march eastward, rushing to Shanhaiguan to monitor the movements of the Qing army. And when the news of Bo Guoduo's refusal to surrender and the beheading of the Fat Army's envoy was transmitted back to Yanjing, the tactical choice of whether to attack Shanhaiguan was also put in front of the decision-making level of the Fat Army.

The benefits of capturing Shanhaiguan are obvious, taking Shanhaiguan, the fat army will grasp the initiative on the battlefield of Gyeonggi, and can attack Shengjing in Liaodong, drive the Qing court back to the hometown of Tunguska, retreat can stick to the safety of Gyeonggi, and the Qing army can only borrow from Mongolia if it wants to disturb Gyeonggi, which is convenient for the defense of the fat army. However, there were also some people who disagreed, suggesting that the attack on Shanhaiguan should be postponed and that efforts should be concentrated on gaining a foothold in Gyeonggi in Zhili first.

The main force of the Fat People's Army fought all the way from Jiangnan to Yanjing, the ammunition consumption was huge, the soldiers were very tired, and the logistics were also stretched. What's even more terrifying is that once the main force of the Fat Army falls into the quagmire of bitter fighting under the Shanhai Pass, which is fully defended by the Qing Army, once the southern battlefield changes, it will be very difficult for the main force of the Fat Army to withdraw from the south.

The two opinions are diametrically opposed, each with its own reason, and Lu Fatzi was also a little hesitant for a while, but fortunately, at this time, Xie Dong and Wang Shaobo, who stayed in Nanjing, sent a fleet to send a batch of ammunition supplies to the main force of the Fat Army, and also brought the latest battle situation in the southern battlefield by the way.

On the battlefield of Minyue, Geng Jingzhong's army has recaptured the most important granary of Yanping Mansion, Shaowu Mansion and Guihua City, Shang Zhixin's team also took back Huizhou and Jiaying, Liu Jinzhong, the Chaozhou general soldier who hated Zheng Jing's sabotage of the anti-Qing alliance, took the opportunity to play the banner of the Fat Army, and Shang Zhixin's army joined forces to expel Zheng Jing's team, declaring Chaozhou Mansion as an enclave of the Fat Army, Shang Zhixin did not dare to attack Liu Jinzhong, and sent Nanjing to ask for negotiations on the ownership of Chaozhou, Zheng Jing was defeated and retreated on the battlefield on the north and south fronts, and the defeat was exposed, but because of the shrinkage of the army, It should still be able to support it for a while, and the fat army of the southern front, which is in a favorable position to watch the fire from the other side, should be as stable as Mount Tai in a short period of time.

On the battlefield in the southwest, the Wu clan of the Biyuan clan, which was destroyed in the Ji Ji Mountain Firearms Battalion, was already somewhat unable to withstand the two-sided attack of Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu's brothers-in-law, and the main force had withdrawn to Changde, and Guo Zhuangtu's army, which had incorporated part of Hu Guozhu's team, went out of Chenlong Pass and joined forces with Xia Guoxiang's army. But fortunately, the Wu clan still has a certain advantage on the battlefield at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, so the Wu clan and the Honghua army are basically still in a situation of attrition, and no one can help anyone in a short time. At the same time, Wu Guogui sent an envoy to ask for help from the Fat Army, and Wang Shaobo used the excuse that the main force of the Fat Army went on a northern expedition, and the Yangtze River channel was blocked by Lin Xingzhu's naval division of the Xia Xiangjun's army, and only expressed some verbal support to Wu Guogui.

The situation of the other main Wu army is as follows, without Wu Shicong in charge, the Liangguang Wu army has fallen into civil strife, part of the Wu army under the leadership of Dong Chongmin fell to Guo Zhuangtu, and part of it was under the leadership of Wu Laohan's cousin Zu Zeqing to respond to the Wu clan, the two forces were turned upside down, and each other was pinned down by each other. On the Shaanxi-Gansu battlefield, Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan seem to have reached a secret agreement, Wang Fuchen went all out to kill Daniel Zhang and Zhao Liangdong, the remnants of the Qing army, and Wang Pingfan went all out to attack Tongguan, and at the same time used the Hanzhong granary to support the Wu clan.

The only thing that aroused Lu Fatzi's vigilance was the attitude of Generalissimo Ma Baoma, although he accepted the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses canonized by the Honghua Imperial Court, but General Ma said that he would not send troops to help Xia Guoxiang kill the Wu clan, nor did he help the Wu clan to attack Xia Guoxiang, he was not offended, and all his thoughts were only to develop in the blank areas of Jiangxi, Henan and Anhui, taking advantage of the opportunity that all forces were contained by each other, desperately expanding his territory and strengthening the army, and at the same time trying not to restrain himself from provoking the fat army, it seemed that he was planning to divide one side, Or use the territory and the army as bargaining chips, waiting for the price to sell. Of course, if the time is ripe, we absolutely cannot rule out the possibility that General Ma will stab the Fat Army in the back.

Having a basic understanding of the situation in the major battlefields in the south, Lu Fatzi also made up his mind and quickly decided to send troops to attack Shanhaiguan, first take the strategic initiative in the northeast battlefield, and then consider returning to the southwest, eradicating the Honghua Imperial Court, the biggest competitor, and finally plotting the whole world.

Thinking about this, Lu Fatzi slapped the table, pointed to Gao Dejie and said: "Brother Dajie, Shanhaiguan will ask you, bring 30,000 troops to reinforce Gao Qi, personally command the battle against Shanhaiguan, bring more siege heavy artillery and ammunition, and be sure to take Shanhaiguan down for me, and take advantage of the fact that the dog has not yet eased up, and seize the strategic initiative in the northeast battlefield." Don't be afraid of getting tired, after taking Shanhaiguan, our main force can take a breath. ”

"Tired, tired, what?" Gao Dejie smiled and said: "The prince underestimates the last general, the last general's team fought all the way from the Jiangnan Expedition to Yanjing, and only fought three tough battles in Guide, Baoding and the capital in total, what are you tired of?" Please rest assured, within a month, the end will take care of Shanhaiguan for you. ”

"Then please." Lu Fatzi nodded, and then turned to Yao Qisheng and ordered: "Master Yao, give Han Daren an order, order his main army to divide into two routes, one way to capture Luoyang, and then stationed in Luoyang and Huaiqing This area is ordered, and the other route is led by him personally, go north to capture Taiyuan City, and join the main force led by this king in Taihang Mountain." In addition, he told him that he could expand some more troops and strive to take down the entire territory of Shanxi, but the grain and grass could only be relied on by him to feed the war and collect it on the spot. ”

"According to Jun's order, Shanxi's grain production is better than that of Zhili Shandong, and General Han Daren's war should not be a big problem." Yao Qisheng nodded, and then suggested: "Lord Wang, shouldn't we expand our troops in Zhili and Shandong?" The famine in these two provinces was severe, and it was easy to recruit troops, and the soldiers were stronger than in the south. Xia Guan suggested that 100,000 new recruits should be recruited for training in Shandong Zhili, so that the national war in the future would not be overstretched. ”

"100,000 is enough?" Fat Lu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "At the very least, we must form 150,000 recruits, it's already August, and this year's autumn harvest in Jiangnan has begun, are we afraid that we will have no money and no food to support the recruits?" In addition, the recruits recruited in Shandong can be immediately sent to the western front battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, and the supply of grain and grass is easier, they can get actual combat training, and they can also prevent General Ma from having bad intentions. ”
