Chapter 899: Li Zicheng who makes wedding dresses for others!
Beijing is located on the frontier, and once the Manchu Qing Dynasty broke through the Great Wall, they immediately attacked the city, which was really not a good capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nanjing, the early capital of the Ming Dynasty, was well-equipped and strategically deep enough to fight a protracted war with the Manchus. Relocation is possible!
However, it is not an easy matter to move the capital.
Tianzi drove to travel, but it was not as simple as bringing three or five people, and the light car was simply going south from the fast horse.
Regardless of what symbolizes the rule, the yellow book map of the temple ritual vessels, at least you have to bring the harem concubines, personal slaves, close courtiers, noble relatives, and countless people such as military guards.
If you bring too many people to run together, you can't go by land, one is too slow; The second is that Li Zicheng is still in the fourth turnover.
If everyone takes the Grand Canal, there is no Grand Canal, and you can go directly to Nanjing. The sea route risk is unpredictable, and the most important thing is that Daming has such a large ocean capacity? It's obviously unlikely, so in the end, you have to go overland first, so there's more to plan for!
In addition to the above, even if the emperor agrees and Zhu Zilong supports, there is still a heart that cannot be overcome.
That is, "the ancestral mausoleum bedding is in Beijing, move to"?
Moreover, many officials in the DPRK and China are northerners, and their roots are here. Their ancestors were all in Beijing, who moved the capital from Emperor Wen to Beijing, and took root in Beijing for more than 200 years.
There must be a lot of useful people among these people, so will you subconsciously say, "You better ask for another master, I'm really not modest, how can I go to Nanjing as a northerner"?
In addition, ignoring a stratum that cannot be ignored, have you ever asked the officers and men of the Beijing battalion for their opinions? Their families are all in Beijing, will they be willing to leave?
Without the protection of the Beijing army, it is very difficult to safely walk thousands of miles to Nanjing.
The above are all from a military point of view, and from the perspective of interests, the following is that the southern scholars do not want the northern scholars to go south with the imperial power. Because, this will affect their own interests. If you don't move the capital, you can use the north as a barrier to protect your property from plunder.
The northern nobles did not want to move their capitals, which would greatly weaken their political and military status. Anyway, whoever came and surrendered whom, thinking that the new ruler needed them.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if none of the above resistance exists. The Emperor and Empress of the Apocalypse and others went south smoothly!
However, in the past, when defending the Zhan Kou Bo Jingshi in Beijing, Dai Zong did not run away to avoid trouble. When Gengxu became a teacher of Kou Bo Jingshi, Sejong did not run away to avoid trouble. In the seventh year of Zhengde, Kou violated martial law in Bazhou Jingshi, and Wuzong did not run away to avoid trouble, but as a result, one of your junior emperors was directly scared away.
When he arrives in Nanjing, will the legitimacy of his rule decline? However, with Zhu Jiajun here, he is still not afraid.
The frustrated bureaucrats who have failed in many political struggles in Nanjing, and the six departments in Nanjing, will it cause internal friction in the party struggle between the southerners and the northerners?
Assuming that these concerns do not exist at all, the biggest problem with moving the capital is the same.
I'm afraid that the time was not prepared in advance, and some of it was too short and too hasty.
In the original history, Li Chuang's destruction of the Ming Dynasty was very accidental. Neither King Chuang nor Chongzhen should have thought that after years of fierce battles with Houjin, coupled with famine and civil unrest, the Ming army would become so unbeatable.
However, in the plan, Zhu Zilong's proposal to the queen is that it is not too late to move now, and it will be more troublesome in the future.
Only then, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
This kind of pressure of public opinion and moral dilemma can only be solved by people with great authority and perseverance. In the letter, Zhu Zilong made it clear that Comrade Empress can be this kind of person.
With the Black Cauldron Man, and the powerful Black Cauldron Man, this dispelled the queen's worries.
made her finally see the truth and made up her mind to run away.
…………
The next day, the queen recalled Lu Xiangsheng.
After secretly discussing with Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Tiren for a few hours. The specific plan of the "Moving and Running Plan" has been finalized!
That night, Zhu Zilong's emperor clone also woke up and agreed, which made everyone feel at ease and happy.
Soon, the confidant eunuchs and female officials in the palace were without knowing the truth. At the beginning, he busily carried all kinds of gold, silver, grain, rice, and dried meat to the car and specific rooms.
And Lu Xiangsheng and the members of Wanli Killing, who came secretly, what they want to do is to control the Jingying and Deshengmen who went out of the city.
At this moment when the edifice is about to fall and people's minds are changing, even if they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Zhu Zilong is also extremely uneasy, after all, human nature is sinister!
On the contrary, the future of life and death is related to the royal family, and the eunuchs and palace maids who are tied together, as well as the Jinyi guards and some people are true allies.
On the other side, in the Wen Mansion, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, also hurriedly asked his family to pack their luggage.
However, after glad that the empress and the emperor made the right choice, Wen Tiren also had his own worries.
The six departments of the Nanjing Imperial Court of the Ming Dynasty were mostly members of the Donglin Party. Donglin Academy is in Wuxi, and fled to Nanjing to find these old enemies and eat together. I don't know if the queen can keep him.
"But...... It is precisely because of the strength of the Jiangnan Donglin Party that the Holy Lord wants to reuse me even more, in case the court is dominant, right? Moreover, the Duke of the Four Seas also has some power in Jiangnan, and there is still room for development. Thinking of this, Wen Tiren felt a little relieved.
In a few days!
There was a shocking news from the capital of Daming, and the emperor and empress decided to abandon the Beijing division and move the capital south.
For a while, when the ministers in Beijing heard the news, they rushed to the Shenwu Gate, wanting to cry and advise the Holy Driver not to leave the Beijing Division lightly.
However, with the protection of the Tianxiong Army and Wanli Kill, as well as some loyal Jinyi Guards, plus the entrance out of the city was controlled. These people did not do what they wanted.
Zhu Zilong's emperor clone had already changed his clothes and crown, and led a group of family members and guards to rush to Desheng Gate.
The ministers went to Deshengmen again, and saw the Son of Heaven standing at the head of the city with his helmet and armor pierced. Some ministers cried and said: Please Your Majesty do not abandon the mausoleum of the temple and be laughed at by the world.
It was only Zhu Zilong's emperor clone who answered them, and he sneered.
When he was young, the holy decree came out: ------ (it is not good for the country to stick to the Jingshi, and it is even more worrying for the front-line sergeants.) It is better to go south to grasp the land of wealth, raise salaries and train soldiers, refresh the rule of officials, and prosper the Ming Dynasty! )
Next, Zhu Zilong's imagination of some people in Jingying, etc., the rebellious heart really came true.
Headed by Zhang Guogong, Xungui led his family soldiers and soldiers and horses in five cities, as if he wanted to seize the door to prevent the royal car from leaving the city.
However, in front of Tianxiongjun and others, they were all eggs.
When he was young, Zhu Zilong's emperor doppelganger, led the queen, imperial concubine, prince, palace maids, courtiers and escort soldiers and horses, totaling more than tens of thousands, to go out of Beijing.
And there is a holy decree, if there are no thieves in the capital, the four gates are wide open, and the people can go out of the city.
Finally, in the end, hundreds of people from the country who spoke of the saint held the tablet of the Holy Prophet and wanted to go to Deshengmen to block the royal car. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Desheng Gate, the Son of Heaven had been out of the city for a long time.
Everything is over!
The capital of the Son of Heaven, without the Son of Heaven, can it still be called the national capital?
With Zhu Zilong's request to move the capital, he successfully ran away. Within a few days, the city of Beijing was plunged into unprecedented chaos.
The hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are all incompetent people.
He has always despised martial artists and hated war, and he has no experience and ability to lead troops. With the Son of Heaven abandoning the city and going south, the prestige of the imperial court has disappeared in the capital.
Ding Zhuang, the people in Beijing, had no food and salary, and no weapons to use, and his wife and children were waiting to be fed, and they fled on the spot. The few remaining soldiers are still defending the city!
Seeing that the situation has completely gotten out of control, those who can run have basically started to run, and those who can't run are basically corrupt officials. Because it occupies a large amount of land here, and stores the wealth and grain of the sea, it is impossible to run if you want to.
Zhu Zilong was not worried that the capital and the Forbidden City would be destroyed in the war. Because, there is no emperor in it, and there are not many people guarding the city.
Even the common people have run away, and only a large number of Donglin Party and local tyrants, big landlords, and black-hearted businessmen remain. Guarding the fields, family property, grain, silver, and beauties, they are reluctant to run away here.
Whether Li Zicheng is here, or Wang Zicheng or Ma Zicheng, even if history repeats the matter of fighting corrupt officials and making a lot of money.
What does it have to do with Zhu Zilong? With such a big gift reserved for you, you won't still set fires, right?
When the thieves are killed in the future, those black-hearted money, after a few hands, will be whitewashed. With Zhu Jiajun's ability, I believe that when the time comes, a considerable part of it will indirectly return to Zhu Zilong's hands.
Oh, that's all, why not?
………
A few days later, Zhu Zilong's prediction came true.
It was learned that the capital was wide open, and the emperor went south. Li Zicheng didn't care about the trouble of finding the emperor halfway, so he hurried to Beijing, ready to make a fortune, and even tasted the taste of sitting on the dragon chair.
Arrived nearby, after scouting.
A subordinate general hurriedly came, slapped the dust on his body a few times, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said to Li Zicheng very respectfully: "Go back to Dashun Chuang Wang, according to the report of the spies, the gate of Beijing is wide open, and the Emperor Zhu Jiagou really left the capital and moved the capital south!" ”
Immediately, Li Zicheng and the leaders around him were overjoyed.
Legend has it that the city of Beijing, which is full of gold and silver and rich households, has four gates wide open, and there is not much defensive strength at all.
"Emperor Ming went south, how much gold and silver treasure can he carry with him? How can it be compared to the capital, the king, as long as we open the house of a royal relative, the harvest will be worth the ten county towns we laid before! A thief will happily propose.
Listening to the discussion of the younger brothers on the side, Li Zicheng laughed and waved his hand: "...... In this case, let's let go of other places for the time being, and concentrate on going to Beijing to see the world first! ”
"I'll wait, obey the king's order!" The leaders of the thief army sang their promises in unison, bowed respectfully and agreed.
Turning around, they gave orders to their respective subordinates to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
