On the 27th day of the sixth month of the leap month in 1645, this seemingly ordinary day will eventually be written into the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang on the 20th of the war, led hundreds of civil and military officials to set up an altar in the southern suburbs of Fuzhou to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then announced outside the Daming Gate, officially announcing the emperor's throne, and the subjects knelt down to listen.

The edict said: "Heaven and earth originally descended to the people to establish a king, and the saints will be careful to rule." Gong Wei my Taizu Gao Emperor mixed a district Xia, the prince has twenty-four, and the king is in Hongwu Xinwei. My ancestor Tang Ding Wang founded Nanyang, accumulated virtue and benevolence, and reached the tenth generation.

With difficulties and dangers, I suffered from the trapping of the two capitals. Zhu Dadian, the left attendant of the military department, etc., was loyal to the sun and the moon, came to the south of the prison country, and was diligent as the regent. On the twentieth day, the division of King Qin gradually gathered, the heart of righteousness gradually rose, and Kuang's plan to recover gradually became secondary...... I have not made great achievements to look up to God's ancestors; Re-thinking the lack of peace, respect for the indefinite, worship the fear of the people, there is no king in March, how dare you stick to the small section and mislead the world, so Yu Yun is reluctant to look forward to the vice-group, and I have no choice but to do it. On the 27th day of the sixth month of the first year of Hongguang, I would like to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, that is, the emperor is located in the southern suburbs of Fuzhou. On that day, the establishment of the line in the Taimiao, Sheji and Tang Guozong Temple, the establishment of the concubine Zeng as the queen, amnesty to the world......

The day I ascend the throne today is the year of the ancestral temple. From now on, there will be a moment when the cause of the ancestors will be borne and the enemies of the ancestors will be forgotten, and the subjects of the world will have to carry out the righteousness to punish them. After I ascend the throne, if there is a person who bears filial piety and forgets the great enemy, I will also be punished for righteousness.

The only way to determine the great cause of restoration is to reconcile the soldiers and the people. Manage the army with sufficient food without arrogance, and serve the people in peace and security. The ministers of the dynasty, the officials who are fresh and greedy outside, from Si Dazhen, try to renew. All the old Japanese traitors who did the work of the people and harmed the people should be eliminated, and the people should be replaced. The words are sincere, and the world sees them.

I recorded the book, Guangwu Zhanzuo in June of Yiyou, that is, the year of Jianwu; Zhaolie succeeded to the reign of Xinchou in April, and the re-number Guangwu was in the year of Zi. Gai Rin Society is in extreme danger, and it must not follow the example of changing the yuan in the next year. Ancient and modern are intertwined, and the Tao is not far away. It takes the first day of July in the first year of Hongguang as the first year of Longwu.

……

Yu Hu! Love the subjects and repay the ancestors, and carry out the old chapter to present the world. Conscience is in the universe, and there will always be a good garment; Righteousness is full of goodness, and it is about to be swept away. Swear to revert to this Xia Yu to be sealed, worthy of being the descendants of Hongwu. Whoever is of the same heart will come to help me. Praise the heroes, and my words are as good as the sun. Announce it to the world, and make it hear. ”

After that, Zhu Yujian took Luan to move from Nan'anbo Mansion to the temporary palace and the former Fujian political envoy Yamen. The civil and military officials entered the palace in turn according to their ranks, and congratulated the new monarch Zhu Yujian on the main hall, and the mountain shouted long live.

At this time, Zhu Yujian, who was wearing a robe and a crown on his head, was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials who bowed to him under the jade steps, and his heart was very excited. How many years! Although it was difficult and dangerous, wind and rain, he finally survived and became the Ninth Five! After that, you can show your ambitions and no longer have to worry about being misunderstood and wronged! You can rely on the power in your hands to save the stormy Ming Dynasty! Because, from now on, he will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

After accepting the congratulations of the hundred officials, Zhu Yujian announced the rewards for meritorious officials and the appointment of officials of various ministries. Feng Zheng Zhilong is the Marquis of Pingyu, Zheng Hongkui is the Marquis of Dingju, Zheng Zhibao is Cheng Jibo, Zheng Cai is Yongshengbo, Pang Yue is the rank of Dingwu Bo and Jin General, and Wang Dongri is Jiayibo and Jin General......

The officials of the ministries and the governors of the provinces were appointed as follows: the first assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the ministry, and the scholar of Wu Yingdian University, Huang Daozhou; Fu Guan, deputy assistant to the cabinet and scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University; Zhu Dadian, a scholar of the Ministry of War and a scholar of Dongge University; He Kai, a scholar of Togaku University; Zheng Xuan, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of Dongge University; The book of the criminal department, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites; Wang Xigon, a scholar of Dongge University, Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Zuodu Yushi and Wenyuange University; The right capital of the imperial history, the governor of Hubei blocked Yinxi; Yushi of the capital and Fu Shangrui, the governor of Biyuan; He Tengjiao, Governor of Huguang and Scholar of Dongge University; Ding Kuichu, Governor of Liangguang; Taichang Temple Qing Cao Xuejiao...... Among them, the number of people in the cabinet reached more than 20, which was the largest in the previous cabinets of the Ming Dynasty. …,

In addition, Zhu Yujian also named his younger brother Zhu Yuao (next to the golden character) as the king of Tang, and the eldest son of the late King Gui Zhu Changying Zhu Youying as the king of Gui, and ordered him to live in Wuzhou, and sent officials to visit the vassal kings such as King Hui, King Lu, King Yi, and King Jingjiang.

*********

On the afternoon of the 29th, a partial hall of Fuzhou Palace

"Minister Pang Yue, knock to see Your Majesty!"

"King Dongri, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Pang Yue and Wang Dongri, who were dressed in the uniform of the new military attaché, knelt down respectfully and bowed to Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor in front of them.

"Pang Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, please." Zhu Yujian had a smile on his face, "You and I can be regarded as old acquaintances, you don't have to be so restrained, sit down." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Zhu Yujian sat down, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri also sat down cautiously.

Zhu Yujian didn't go around in circles, but went straight to the point: "I've watched all your plays." At the recital, you all proposed to leave Fujian and go to other places to guard. Hehe, your two views seem to coincide! Now, I wonder why you think the way you do. Pang Aiqing, let's talk about it first. ”

As for how to answer this question, Pang Yue had already rehearsed it countless times in his mind, so he replied almost without thinking: "Your Majesty, now that the main force of Jiannu has returned to the north one after another to recuperate, its forces in the south are no longer enough to continue to move south. This situation brought an opportunity to the Ming Dynasty, an excellent opportunity to accumulate strength and expand the prestige of the imperial court. If the Ming Dynasty wants to achieve Zhongxing, it should not be limited to Fujian Province, but should set its sights on Huguang, Liangguang, Yunnan-Guizhou, Jiangxi and even Nanzhili and other vast regions. Therefore, Wei Chen secretly thought that His Majesty should take this opportunity to send troops to the above places, contact all the anti-Qing righteous people, clean up the people's hearts, and completely put these vast areas under the control of the imperial court. Only in this way can the imperial court obtain an abundant source of soldiers and money and food, and only then can it not become an empty talk to drive out the Jiannu and restore the rivers and mountains. Even if the imperial court's strength is limited for a while, it should at least send capable forces to seize a few strategic points, so as not to be at a loss when Jiannu goes south again. Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops out of Fujian Province to guard a place for His Majesty and guard against Jiannu! ”

After listening to Pang Yue's words, Emperor Longwu couldn't help but nodded. Pang Yue was right, since the surrender of Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, on June 14, and the bloodless capture of Hangzhou by the Qing army, Dolgon believed that the overall situation had been decided, so he ordered Prince Azig of Ying and Prince Duoduo of Yu to prepare for the retreat to the north for rest. Not long ago, Prince Azig had returned to the north with nearly half of the main force, and Prince Duoduo of Yu had also concentrated the rest of the main forces of the Eight Banners in the area of Nanjing, waiting for the Inner Court scholars sent by Dolgon to replace him, Hong Chengchou and Dorobelle Lekdehun, who were sent by Dolgon, to lead the army to retreat north as soon as they arrived. At present, most of the Qing troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are recently annexed to the Ming Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is limited, and they will not go south in a big way for a while. From the second half of this year to the beginning of next year, there should be no danger in the newly established Longwu Dynasty, but if you want to take advantage of this period to develop your strength, it is necessary to take some active measures to seize the opportunity.

"Then Wang Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhu Yujian looked at Wang Dongri with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Pang said is very true, now all over the country is waiting to be rebuilt, it is the time for me to show my skills. Weichen is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to guard one place and share his majesty's worries. Wang Dongri, who has been promoted several levels recently, doesn't seem to have fully adapted to his new identity, and now he looks a little cramped in front of the emperor, so he can't say anything more when he hears Zhu Yujian ask.

After listening to the statements of the two, Zhu Yujian pondered for a while and said, "Well, I know what you two think." You are worried about the affairs of the state, and your heart is commendable. However, this is a serious matter, and I will discuss it with the cabinet members as soon as possible, and I will inform you of the results as soon as they are available. ”…,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pang Yue and Wang Dongri replied at the same time.

Next, Zhu Yujian carefully asked Pang Yue and Wang Dongri about the situation in the army, how well they were recruited, whether the food and salary were sufficient, and so on, and the two answered one by one. When they learned that the grain and grass in their hands were not enough, Zhu Yujian promised to urge the household department to allocate it as soon as possible, which greatly moved the two.

However, at the beginning of the new dynasty, there is a big mess waiting for Zhu Yujian, the new monarch, to deal with. Therefore, it did not take long for eunuchs to come to tell the eunuchs, and several cabinet ministers asked to see them outside the palace. Seeing this situation, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri thanked each other again and then retired.

*********

Out of the palace, Pang Yue and Wang Dongri stepped on their mounts and went directly out of the city to return to the Niutou Mountain camp.

At this time, it is already the west of the sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun spreads down, covering the fields, hills, and roads outside the city with a dazzling layer of gold, which looks unique. But Pang Yue, who was on the horse, had a dim face, and he didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him at all. At this moment, he is struggling painfully in his heart.

Although there was no news yet, as a traverser, Pang Yue knew that Jiangyin City at this time might have been surrounded by the Qing army. The soldiers and civilians of the whole city, who refused to shave their hair and surrendered, defended the city under the organization of Yan Yingyuan and Chen Mingyu, and proved their indomitable heart with their actual actions. On July 1, the Qing army will take the traitor Liu Liangzuo as the lead and begin a full-scale siege of the city. Although all the military and civilians in Jiangyin are righteous and unanimous to the outside world, it is really a bit weak to fight against tens of thousands of wolf-like Jiannu and traitor troops with the power of one city. If there is no accident in the development of history, Jiangyin will be broken on 21 August, and almost all the soldiers and civilians in the city will be killed, and in the end only "53 people of all sizes" will remain. In order to maintain the Han family's clothes and Han family, the military and civilians of the whole city also resisted according to the city, and finally suffered the same tragic ending.

What can I do in the face of such a tragedy, in the face of those heroes who are fighting alone? Pang Yue tortured himself in his heart countless times. But after thinking about it calmly, he painfully realized that he could not do anything. To tell the truth, Pang Yue wanted to rush to Jiangyin immediately, see the national heroic brother Ying Yuan, whom he admired extremely much in his previous life, fight side by side with him, and listen to him shout loudly to the traitor Liu Liangzuo, "There is a general, but there is no history of surrender!" I saw him lead the righteous people of the city to express his feat of "Eighty days with allegiance, the characters of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Taizu; 60,000 people died with one heart and left three hundred miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty". But the cruel reality told Pang Yue that his current strength simply did not allow him to make such a move, and the main force of Jiannu led by Duoduo still remained in Jiangnan, and more than 2,000 people under his command rushed to kill him, except for increasing the number of martyrs, it hardly changed any problem. Not only him, but even Emperor Longwu, Zhu Dadian and others had no choice, the new dynasty was established, and the power in their hands was extremely limited, and it was beyond the reach of Jiangyin City, which was far away on the edge of the Yangtze River.

Sometimes, Pang Yue also hated himself in his heart, although he claimed to save the Chinese nation, but since the crossing, he has almost always spent time on the run, first from Ogigang to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Fujian! And every time I can find a grand reason: to stay useful and wait for the opportunity to take revenge! Hehe, what a useful body! Presumably Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui thought so at the beginning! Haha, Pang Yue, you are really a "hero"!

But after scolding himself, Pang Yue had to admit that his personal strength could not change the trend of history in a short period of time, and if he did not temporarily drift with the tide, he could only be overturned in the long river of history and become a pitiful martyr.

Alas! Knowing that a tragedy is about to happen but can only watch from the sidelines, the greatest pain of the traverser is this! Looking at the round of red sun that had gradually disappeared behind the distant hills, Pang Yue let out a long sigh of helplessness.
