Chapter 471: Li Zicheng who came to Beijing
"Surround the rogue and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
Everyone let out an exclamation in unison, and then someone asked, "Lord Wang, do you mean to take advantage of the situation to take the capital in one fell swoop?" ”
"Of course!" A smile appeared in Pang Gang's eyes: "When have you ever seen this king spit out the meat that he ate in his mouth?" Rest assured, when the capital is captured, everyone will be rewarded! ”
As Pang Gang's words fell, a look of excitement appeared in everyone's eyes.
The meaning of Pang Gang's words is already very clear, the old Zhu family has been sitting in this world for too long, and we will not leave after capturing Yanjing this time, and we will also have an addiction to the emperor.
The purpose of Pang Gang's words was to reassure everyone. After all, what are people risking to cut off your head to help you die? It's not for Bo a good future, so that the glory of the ancestors and the son of the wife and son, otherwise people will come to fight the world for you, there is no reason!
Feeling this, Pang just said the above words, and its subtext is that when Lao Tzu becomes the emperor and Lao Tzu eats meat, you can also drink soup with it, and you are indispensable for glory and wealth.
Looking at the fanatical eyes in everyone's eyes, Pang Gang nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that the purpose of this mobilization meeting has been achieved, and it is time to assign tasks next.
"Ahem"
Clearing his throat, Pang Gang said loudly: "Since the regulations for this trip are still set, then the king will give an order!" ”
As soon as Pang Gang's words fell, everyone stood up and bowed to Pang Gang: "Please give the order!" ”
Looking at the dozens of people who fell to the ground in front of him, Pang Gang also stood up, and his eyes showed a rare hint of redness, it has been five years since he came to this era, he relied on the golden finger, and finally had the qualification to win the world through five years of hard work, and the history of the Chinese nation was to be rewritten in his own hands.
The sharp gaze glanced at everyone, and Pang just shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to the order!" ”
"Whoa!" With a bang, everyone, whether civil officials or military generals, all stood up straight and looked at Pang Gang with excitement on their faces.
"This time into the king of Beijing decided to personally lead 100,000 troops from the land to the capital, this time to recruit troops and horses for the first, third, fourth, seventh, eighth army corps, you and others set off with the king, in addition, Dong Guo, Lu Kuanliang also led their respective artillery battalions with the army to the north, Lin Feng is responsible for the logistics of the whole army. During the absence of this king, you must keep your responsibilities and do not slack off, do you understand? ”
Everyone's faces flushed, and they shouted in unison, "Follow the orders of the prince!" ”
With the issuance of Pang Gang's order, Shandong, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately took action, and the government at all levels also began to operate like gears of different sizes, grain, grass, weapons, gunpowder, medicine and other materials all converged towards Qinzhou in a steady stream, and at the third time, 100,000 troops and countless materials were ready, and the prelude to the war had begun.
On the night before departure, Pang Gang held a family banquet at home, and Kong Ruolan and Wei Manyao led their wives and concubines to toast Pang Gang and wish him a victorious return. Pang Gang's two sons, Pang Suming and Pang Supeng, were also held in the arms of their respective mothers, and said vague words to their father, making Pang Gang laugh.
Pang Gang looked at the wives and concubines at the table, Kong Ruolan and Wei Manyao had already given birth to a son for themselves, Ling'er and Qiao'er are also pot-bellied now, and they are about to give birth in a few months, and Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xuezhu are also pregnant under Pang Gang's hard work at this time, it seems that it won't be long before the family will be more lively.
"Lord, concubine, I wish you a smooth journey and great ambitions."
Just when Pang Gang was "relieved", Wei Manyao and Kong Ruolan pulled their respective sons to Pang Gang and toasted Pang Gang with a wine glass and a smile.
"Okay, I will also give you a cup for my husband, you have all worked hard." Pang Gang picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
After drinking, Pang Gang looked at Wei Manyao and Kong Ruolan Zhengse and said: "Manyao, Ruolan, for the husband's expedition this time, the affairs of the mansion will all depend on you to support, after all, the mansion respects the two of you." Ruolan is good at managing money, you are resourceful, you two work together to do nothing, now Ling'er, Qiao'er, Yuanyuan, Xuezhu have been pregnant, you have to worry more about the things in the house, you have to remember, family and can be prosperous! ”
After listening to Pang Gang's instructions, the two also bowed solemnly and responded: "Yes!" The concubine must obey the teachings of the prince, be diligent and thrifty, and wait for the prince's victorious return. ”
"Well, that's good, that's all for now, let's disperse first!"
As soon as Pang finished speaking, he walked to the back room, Wei Manyao and Kong Ruolan glanced at each other, and invariably handed over their children to the nurse, and then followed Pang Gang to the inner room one after another
The next day, Pang Gang opened his eyes, which were still a little heavy, left the soft and pink ketone body with great perseverance, put on his clothes, and put on his armor with the help of the maid, and finally stood in front of a large bronze mirror and took a photo. Although the bronze mirror is not very clear, a burly figure is awe-inspiring in front of him.
At this time, the two maids who helped Pang Gang put on the armor looked at the majestic Pang Gang after putting on the armor, and their little faces secretly turned red together, and they sincerely admired: "The prince is really majestic after wearing this armor!" ”
Listening to the maid's praise, Pang Gang couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of their noses and quipped, "What do you know, two little girls, let's talk about it after you have a mother-in-law in a few years." ”
After speaking, Pang Gang grabbed the scimitar hanging on the wall, and strode out in the coquettishness of the two maids, but when Pang Gang went out, Wei Manyao and Kong Ruolan, who were sleeping soundly on the big bed, opened their eyes almost at the same time, and looked at the figure of their husband who left with a reluctant look on their faces
Just when Pang Gang led the team from Qingzhou, Li Zicheng also led his 200,000 troops to capture Taiyuan Mansion, Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion, and came to Yanjing City, surrounding the entire Yanjing City to the ground.
Li Zicheng led the army to conquer several state capitals one after another without much effort and came to Yanjing City, which also made Li Zicheng and his civil and military officials and soldiers of the three armies elated, thinking that Yanjing City would definitely be self-defeating in a few days, and then spread the word to Jiangnan, and the great cause of a thousand years was laid from then on.
Li Zicheng sent someone to send a letter to Hao Shaoqi, who stayed in Shaanxi, and asked him to make up 10,000 people to occupy these three places, and he led an army of 200,000, and claimed 300,000 to the outside world, and surrounded Yanjing City to death, and he was ready to conquer Yanjing City in one fell swoop to conquer the world.
Thirty miles from the west gate of Yanjing City, here is the nearest county seat from Yanjing City, the name of this county is Hongwu County (place name fiction do not delve into it), at this moment, Li Zicheng led a group of more than ten important generals and strategists in the discussion.
At this time, after more than a year of development, Li Zicheng's 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command were very different from those of the previous two years, and after more than a year of training and the dismissal of the old, weak, sick and disabled, the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 soldiers and horses has been greatly improved compared with before. With strength, Li Zicheng is also a little dissatisfied with his current identity.
In the past, he was a thief, a rogue, and a bandit, of course, this is the name of the imperial court, and they themselves all call themselves righteous soldiers, but it is very important to have a good name, don't you see that even the Pang Gang in Shandong has proclaimed himself the king of Zhou. Therefore, not long ago, Li Zicheng also began to call himself the king, and gave himself a title, became the king of Shun, and began to seal the official position.
This time Li Zicheng rewarded the official position according to the standard of a court to be sealed, there are six political axes, Wen Yuan, prime minister, chief and deputy military divisions, there are five battalions of soldiers and horses in the front and back, as well as Li Zicheng personally commanded the imperial camp pro-army, from this point of view, Li Zicheng's thoughts of being the emperor are already obvious.
Li Zichengzhi glanced at everyone's faces with satisfaction, and said excitedly: "Everyone, I have already arrived at the foot of Yanjing City, and I am about to attack Yanjing City. ”
For a while, the colleagues turned their eyes to the faces of the two military advisors sitting under Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng became the queen, and the post of prime minister unexpectedly fell to Niu Jinxing, while Li Yan and Song Xiance became a righteous and deputy military advisor.
Song Xiance stood up with a long laugh, he was born as a warlock in the rivers and lakes, after taking refuge in Li Zicheng, he relied on this technique to win the trust of Li Zicheng and the soldiers under King Chuang, and after several years of hard work, he became the deputy military division of the Dashun Army, it can be said that he is already soaring. Since the identity is different, naturally he can't say his analysis in the simplest words, but slightly stretches out his left hand, palm up, and pinches the index finger and middle finger with his thumb...... , muttered in his mouth: "Jiachen, Yisi, Bingwu, Ding Weichuang Wang, according to the minister, if there is a light rain on the 28th, the city will be broken at dawn on the 29th." If there is no rain on the 28th, it is necessary to wait for the 23rd to break the city. ”
Looking at Song Xiance's troubled appearance, Niu Jinxing on the side couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, his friend loved this in his life, but Song Xiance was not blindly pretending to be a ghost, what he said still made some sense.
Unlike Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng said with a happy face: "It seems that the weather will not clear up immediately, according to the twenty-ninth day of the city to break the deployment of everything." After our army broke through Yanjing, it was said that it would be better to set the capital in Chang'an, Yanjing was just in line, and it would be renamed Youzhou Mansion after the matter was decided, and this matter had already been thought about in Lone. It's just that after breaking through Yanjing, Lone is in Yanjing, and after entering the Forbidden City, what palace will he live in? ”
Niu Jinxing already knew what Song Xiance meant, and of course Li Yan also knew, but they all laughed and said nothing. Niu Jinxing has regained Li Zicheng's trust in this year or so, otherwise he would not have been able to take the post of prime minister, Li Zicheng saw that everyone was silent, and turned his head to Niu Jinxing and said: "Mr. Niu said first, he should live in the palace alone in the Forbidden City!" ”
Since becoming the prime minister, Niu Jinxing has constantly put forward higher requirements for himself, and strives to make himself develop a graceful and calm prime minister's bearing, so that he does not compete with his colleagues, but also wants all major decisions to be made by Wang Qiangang, so he respectfully replied to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty should be lucky, hang the people and fight crimes, return to heaven and man, and achieve this great industry, Debi Yao Shun, and meritorious Tang Wu." Conquer Yanjing, its merits are great! ”
Li Zicheng is not highly educated, and he only understood Niu Jinxing's words, he frowned and said: "Niu Junshi, if you have something to say, you don't have to be so literate." ”
"Uh, oh no!" Niu Jinxing was shocked in his heart, and secretly exclaimed that it was not good, he was a little carried away for a while, and even pulled up his schoolbag to King Chuang, you must know that most of Li Zicheng and his generals are from the lower nine ranks and mud legs, how can they understand these things?
Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "As expected by the Song military division, the Wei family will be attacked on the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth day. Moreover, the minister thought that after His Majesty entered the city, he should enter the Qianqing Palace, which was justified, and there was no need to choose another place. ”
"Hmm!" Li Zicheng nodded noncommittally, turned his head and asked Li Yandao, "Gongzi Li, what do you say?" ”
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "The Book of Changes says 'Dazai Qianyuan', and it also says that Qianyuan is the sky, the king, the kun is the earth, and the queen. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty built the imperial palace, and the palace where the emperor lived was named Qianqing Palace, and the queen's residence was named Kunning Palace. "Qing" and "Ning" are the meaning of peace and prosperity, so between the two palaces is the Tai Palace, covering the meaning of the Thai hexagram of the Book of Changes, like saying: "Heaven and earth are handed over, Thailand." Just now, Prime Minister Niu suggested that His Majesty enter the Qianqing Palace, which is quite reasonable. However, students should not be worried, and may wish to consider another palace. ”
"Oh? Why is that? At this time, Li Zicheng couldn't help but be puzzled, and even Niu Jinxing was quite unconvinced and asked: "Please Li Gongzi to solve your doubts!" ”
Li Yan thought for a while, and then said: "According to the students, although Chongzhen is the king of the dead country, he is different from the kings of the dead country in the past dynasties. Chongzhen's surname is strong and well-known. When the city is broken, he will never surrender, nor will he be captured and humiliated, he will commit suicide in the Qianqing Palace, or hang himself, or take poison, or [***], and even he will summon the concubines to the Qianqing Palace, and die in the fire together, and martyrdom vigorously. Therefore, the students begged His Majesty to consider another palace as a place to stay, so as not to be in a hurry. ”
"Smack!" With a sound, Li Zicheng's hand slapped the table in front of him, and said appreciatively: "Okay!" Li Gongzi is worthy of being a talented man in Henan, thoughtful, calm and decisive in case of trouble, and he deserves to be a lonely military advisor. ”
Everyone also expressed their appreciation and praised Li Yan's ability, only a trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of Niu Jinxing, who was sitting at the top, but he concealed it well, and this light only flashed in his eyes.
Li Zicheng continued to ask: "Since the Qianqing Palace is not suitable, then where does Li Gongzi think it is better to live alone?" ”
Li Yan smiled and said: "I think that Emperor Chongzhen is the son of the great tomorrow, he has very little time to rest in the Qianqing Palace, many times he rests in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion or the Wenhua Palace, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is too popular, the students think that it is better to still the Wenhua Palace, the Wenhua Palace is an important palace in the Forbidden City, in the east of the Zuoshun Gate, not far from the Donghua Gate." Wenhua Hall ......" Immediately after, Li Yan gushed about the benefits of Wenhua Palace.
Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Well, this Wenhua Hall Gu has also heard its name many times, and it seems that it is indeed very famous." ”
At this time, Niu Jinxing also agreed: "What Li Gongzi said is very true, it seems that I have not considered it." It is reported that the Wenhua Hall was built in the Yongle period, and it was not often visited. Jiajing practiced Zuo, rebuilt the Wenhua Palace, replaced it with yellow tiles, and then it was the location of the Spring and Autumn Scripture Feast, and often summoned ministers here. In the middle of the hall, there is the throne of the courtiers, the palace is called the golden platform, and the general summoning is in the east and west warm pavilion. There is a plaque hanging horizontally in the hall, on which is written "Learn the two emperors and three kings to rule the world of the great scriptures" 12 words, for the imperial pen of Shenzong. This Wenhua Hall and the Jinshen Hall behind it, plus the Wenhua Gate and other houses, become a complete palace courtyard, which is very tight. Moreover, the Wenhua Hall is very close to the cabinet. The cabinet turned east in the noon gate, and there were several houses carved out of the Wenyuan Pavilion, which were the places where the auxiliary ministers were on duty. Although I Dashun restored the prime minister system since the Tang and Song dynasties, called Tianyou Pavilion University Scholars, there is no need for five to seven auxiliary ministers, and the first assistant is the main one, and the state affairs are jointly participated in and the cabinet system is formed. But there are many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they can't all be in the Forbidden City. The cabinet facing east in the noon gate will still be Prime Minister Niu's duty room in the Forbidden City, so that King Chuang can be summoned at any time to discuss military affairs. If His Majesty uses the Mandarin Hall as a temporary residence in the palace, then the cabinet can be said to be close at hand. Therefore, Weichen was ignorant and took the liberty of suggesting that he should stay in the Wenhua Hall after entering the Forbidden City, and he didn't have to think about anything else. ”
As soon as Niu Jinxing's words came out, everyone's hearts were slightly surprised, this Niu Jinxing's measurement is really big, Li Yan just overturned his remarks, he could immediately accept it with an open mind, and he was not angry at all, could it be said that the prime minister could really hold the boat in his belly?
"Hahaha" Li Zicheng laughed, "Okay, it's rare that Prime Minister Niu has such a measure, Lone is very happy, since everyone has no opinion, then when we attack the capital, Lone's bedroom will be set in Wenhua Palace." ”
Seeing that Li Zicheng was so happy, Niu Jinxing also took the opportunity to joke: "King Chuang, you are wrong, after you attack the capital, your title will be changed, and then you should call yourself me!" ”
When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, but his face jumped up and reprimanded: "Eh, what are you talking about, Prime Minister Niu, don't talk nonsense about things without a shadow." Lone led everyone to fight the world, that was to find food for the people of the whole world, not to be the emperor, if you say that again, Lone will punish you. ”
Everyone sneered at Li Zicheng, who was a bitch and wanted to set up an archway, but on the surface, he still had to cooperate, and everyone spoke and persuaded him.
After Li Zicheng shirked it for a while, he pretended to agree to come down and ascend the throne as emperor as soon as he invaded Yanjing City
