Chapter 493: Necessary Measures
Some time ago, the two sides were still fighting desperately across the siege, but in the blink of an eye, the gate of Luoyang City had been opened, welcoming the intrusion army into the city.
Many people in Luoyang felt very confused and puzzled.
But the officials and gentry of Luoyang went to the city gate to greet them, as if they were greeting their relatives.
Overnight, Luoyang changed.
Luoyang raised the banner of the sun and the moon again, King Fu served as the supervisor of the country, Lu Weiqi served as the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, and the prince of King Fu was promoted to King Fu. Li Zicheng was appointed as the secretary of the military department and the governor of Henan. The rest of the Luoyang officials and gentry who supported the army, and the soldiers who broke into the army, were also promoted to the rank of knight.
All in all, everything was hilarious.
Luoyang was established as Tokyo as a temporary residence for the new imperial court. As for the year name, the imperial court unanimously decided to continue to use the Chongzhen year name, and this year is the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.
Zhu Changxun was appointed as the supervisor of the country for only three days, and three days later, the hundred officials persuaded him three times, and Zhu Changxun agreed to be the emperor after three pushes.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, Zhu Changxun Luoyang was proclaimed emperor, and the following year was changed to the first year of Hongguang.
Zhu Changxun's enthronement ceremony was a little hasty, and he hurriedly held the enthronement ceremony, and then established the prince Zhu Youxiang as the crown prince.
Luoyang was restored, but the Han army had already fought all the way to Luoyang City.
Although Li Zicheng's subordinates left on the periphery resisted desperately, they were bound to lose almost every battle against the Han army, and within a few days, all the soldiers and horses were defeated in Luoyang, and 50,000 Han troops were killed under the city of Luoyang.
Zhang Shanqi, the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains bandits, was like thunder, he suppressed bandits in Henan for more than half a year, either there was an accident here, or there was an accident, although there was also the emperor's will. But after all, he failed to wipe out the bandits for more than half a year.
The result is good now, the emperor has just driven himself to annihilate more than 100,000 Qing troops, and he is about to add good news here. That's what happened.
It's a big deal.
Under his nose, Li Zicheng actually connected with a group of elders of the former dynasty clan to carry out the restoration.
In front of him, under his nose, Zhu Changxun, the dead fat man, actually dared to be the emperor, and Li Zicheng, a bandit, actually became a national prince?
The restoration of a group of bandits and a group of old people, Zhang Shan is not afraid. But he knew that this would have a very bad effect. Soon after the founding of the Han Dynasty, the hearts of the people in the world were unstable, and Luoyang was restored at this time. It will inevitably affect the whole situation in the world.
Zhang Shan made a fire, walked back to the table, and began to pick up the pen and write the folds.
Cai Yuan hurriedly walked into the account and watched him write there. I couldn't help but say. "When is it, are you still in the mood to write a recital here, hurry up and send troops to defeat Luoyang in one fell swoop, and kill such a bastard."
Zhang Shan didn't raise his head, "Zhu Changxun has been restored, and he is not in a hurry for a while." This time we carelessly lost Jingzhou, and no one would have thought that the thieves would be connected with King Fu. ”
"yes, it's shameless now. Zhu Changxun can even get a piece of the thief who digs his ancestral grave. What else can you say. Before this, he was besieging the city, but in the blink of an eye, he was like a family. Fuck. I'm so angry. ”
The news of Luoyang's restoration spread quickly like the wind.
Li Shuchu, the governor of the Central Plains, was busy with the general census of the arrears, and after receiving this urgent report, he couldn't believe it. He sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
"Finally, something happened."
Qi Guoyuan, the chief soldier of Kaifeng who rushed to hear the news, smiled, "It's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it's a good thing." A pustule is a pustule, whether you look at it or not, it is a pustule. It's better to pick it out early, squeeze the pus early, and it's better to break it early. This alternation of the old and new dynasties, these clans of the former Ming Dynasty, those elders, must be unwilling. If you don't deal with them early, it's just a scourge and a hidden danger if you keep them, and you don't know when you're going to have an attack. ”
"Well, now that they all jumped out on their own, the court is justified in this move. We just killed them in one fell swoop, and it can be regarded as once and for all, and we will never have future troubles. ”
Li Shuchu shook his head, "Having said that, at this time, they rebelled and restored, which still had a great impact on the situation. The southeast, southwest, and northwest have not yet been able to garrison the army, and at this time, Luoyang is reversed, but I am afraid that other places may also follow suit. ”
"What are you afraid of, the higher you jump, the heavier you will fall. If they don't jump out on their own, we still have to take care of their reputation, and it's not good to do it directly to them. Now they are rebellious, and they are in line with our wishes, sending troops to quell the chaos, and then by the way, these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in various places, and the remnants of the clan, are swept away. Without these people, the world is peaceful. ”
Qi Guoyuan is a general, he thinks more about things with the eyes of martial artists, and likes to be direct and straightforward. The previous emperor's treatment of the former dynasty clan and even the original officials was too lenient in his opinion. Although after all, at the beginning of the new dynasty, a little looseness and kindness at this time will help to win people's hearts, but it is not a good thing to be too lenient, just like now, they are still the opposite.
But Qi Guoyuan was full of confidence in the Han army, and he knew very well that if he did not have enough force, he would be self-defeating if he rebelled and restored.
Why does it seem so easy for the emperor to seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty, without the slightest storm? That's because at that time, the emperor held the strongest force in the world, and Gyeonggi was completely in his hands, and the government and the opposition, both inside and outside Gyeonggi, were in control.
The emperor said to change the dynasty, then change the dynasty.
And what do those people in Luoyang have?
They are just some fat-brained guys, even if they recruit Li Zicheng and a group of bandits, what is the use.
It's time for a big purge.
The rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, how can these remnants of the former Ming clan continue to be powerful and blessed. If you can't understand the situation, you will inevitably be swept through the coffin.
"Governor, I propose that the control of the clan of the former dynasty must be strengthened immediately, and some necessary measures should even be taken decisively."
Li Shuchu leaned back and looked up at the chief officer.
"What do you mean by necessary measures?"
Qi Guoyuan was not afraid of Li Shuchu's gaze at all, and said loudly, "In order to prevent other former dynasty clans from being used and coerced by traitors, we should protect them. I propose that troops be immediately dispatched to move all the clans in Henan and Shandong to Kaifeng for centralized protection. ”
Li Shuchu couldn't help but laugh.
"Aren't you afraid of adding fuel to the fire and making things bigger?"
"It's already like this, how could it be bigger? Maybe the clan will have some complaints, but I think we should take precautions, we can't be that everything has already been reversed, and we still don't have anything to do here. That would be stupid. ”
Li Shuchu said, "What if they don't want to? ”
"I'm willing to personally bring people to persuade and assist them in relocating."
"There are a lot of former dynasties in Henan and Shandong provinces, there are more than ten princes alone, dozens of county kings, tens of other generals and lieutenants, and there are tens of thousands of other generals, lieutenants, etc., as well as those county lords, county lords, township monarchs, etc., so many people, it is not easy to move, and it is not easy to settle. Kaifeng, there are not so many places to place. ”
"Then send them directly to Taiwan, where there are local settlements."
"You're really talking more and more nonsense, can that be what we can decide?" Li Shuchu thought for a while, "In this way, you first send troops to strengthen the protection of these clans." We can first gather the generals and lieutenants under each prince to each royal palace, so that we can also concentrate on protection. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Qi Guoyuan replied loudly.
Qi Guoyuan thundered in the past, and as soon as he went out, he immediately gathered his subordinates, and then divided the area and took care of it.
"Listen to me, after you lead the team to various places, contact the local township army and militia, and you must 'protect' them."
"General, what if anyone refuses to comply?"
"Then you let him ask your knife first, now is a special period, Zhu Changxun has rebelled, who dares to refuse our kindness at this time, then he has bad intentions, he just wants to rebel. For these chaotic parties, there is only one word, kill! ”
Qi Guoyuan said fiercely.
Zhang Shan's plea has not yet arrived, but Liu Jun already knows about the restoration of Luoyang.
At this time, Liu Jun was still in Miyun and had not yet returned to Beijing.
He had just canonized Haoge as the founder of Tieling, and officially ordered Haoge to lead 20,000 horsemen out of Xuanfu to attack Chahar.
was about to return to Beijing, and Jinyiwei's secret report arrived.
After reading the secret report, Liu Jun was in a good mood. For Luoyang's rebellion, he was not surprised, not surprised, not even a little worried.
Liu Jun had long expected that if he usurped the throne of the Ming Dynasty, someone would jump out to oppose it sooner or later.
It's just that he may be the first to jump out of Shaanxi, Gansu or Yungui in the future, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Liu Jun has not really controlled that side.
It was actually Zhu Changxun from Luoyang who rebelled first, and Zhu Changxun actually got together with Li Zicheng.
However, their rebellion will not make Liu Jun worried, there is nothing to worry about, he has just achieved the victory of Yanbei, and the Manchu Qing have been beaten down by him, and when this peace agreement is reached, he will be able to free up his hands to stabilize the Central Plains.
His original plan was like this, to subdue the Manchus first, and then free up his hands to control the Central Plains. When the Central Plains is stabilized, I will go back and clean up Manmeng one by one.
Everything was expected by him and did not break his plan.
Luoyang's rebellion is still a good thing in some ways.
Luoyang, the center of the world, is also the land of four wars. Zhu Changxun and Li Zicheng, what are they going to use to guard Luoyang? And once they are defeated by the Han army, even if they can escape, then this defeat will be a heavy blow to those who still have illusions about the previous dynasty.
Zhu Changxun reversed, but he still joined forces with Li Zicheng, who is Li Zicheng?
Bandit, a bandit who dug up the ancestral grave of the Zhu family. Luoyang's gang uniting with Li Zicheng, what will put them in? What hope can a group of people who work with the rogues have?
They provoked a doomed war and threw away the last bit of leeway they had.
"Deliver the decree, return to Beijing!" (To be continued.) )
