173 Blowing Sand and Walking Thousands of Miles (6)
After this battle, the East Palace gained a lot, and set up a "labor camp", which belonged to the Chen De Engineer Battalion to make up for the lack of coolies.
The general Guo Yi was convicted of treason. Such a serious crime does not have to wait for the next autumn to be decided, and it will be corrected in the guard camp immediately. Seeing the cheers of the onlookers in the East Palace, Zhu Cihong believed that the ancients could really boost their morale.
Li Zicheng folded these 500 people and a general Guoyi, which was also really painful. However, Gu Junen and Niu Jinxing both advised him to establish a foothold in Xi'an first, and then send troops to solve Yansui Town in the north and Gansu, Ningxia, Xining and other places in the west.
Seeing that his homeland was in front of him, Li Zicheng also had the idea of returning to his hometown in brocade, and finally announced the establishment of the country under the persuasion of the internal emperor faction, mainly Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and others. With Dashun as the country name, the Ming and Qin palaces as the palace, the great-grandfather is the emperor and the mother Lu is the queen mother. He also canonized his wife Gao as the queen and Chen as the concubine. Then Xi'an was changed to Xijing, and it was announced that it would be changed to Yongchang next year.
Although he arrived in Xi'an a month later than in the original historical script, everything that should and should not happen still follows the inertia of history, and even the change of the yuan and the calendar has not been delayed.
The Dashun regime immediately changed the official system and announced that it would follow the Tang Dynasty system. In fact, with the current social form, it is not only unwise to restore the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, but also unrealistic. Li Zicheng's advisers changed the cabinet to the Tianyou Palace, and set up a university scholar Pingzhang military and state affairs, in terms of Conglong, Niu Jinxing served as this position, Song Xiance served as a military advisor, but Gu Junen went to the government to serve as a squire because of his qualifications.
Niu Jinxing wanted to press Gu Junen again. The central system established is still the six governments, but when Xiangyang was established, the six governments only set up one squire, but now Shangshu has been added as a ministry official, and the squire is the second for it. Its subordinates changed the middle of the lang to the middle of the lang, and the main thing was to engage. The Hanlin Academy was changed to the Hongwen Hall, and the six departments were the counselors. The imperial history is the direct commander, the Shangbao Temple is the Shang Qi Division, the Taifu Temple is the Horse Inspection Temple, and the General Administration Department is the political envoy.
After this toss, the local area also added a festival envoy, which was equivalent to the governor of the Ming Dynasty. It also imitated the system of patrolling according to the imperial history, and set up a patrol according to the direct command. Other provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties shall have defense envoys, imperial envoys, governors, state ministers, and county commanders. Just like the Xiangyang system.
After setting up such a large framework, Li Zicheng naturally had to face a problem: the selection of officials.
So Li Zicheng issued an edict and opened a branch in the spring of the first year of Yongchang.
As a national talent ceremony, it is the most important thing for the people of the world. Zhu Cihong did not participate in the imperial examination in both lifetimes - there was no imperial examination in his previous life, and he did not need the imperial examination in this life. It is really difficult for him to understand the psychology of scholars in this era, as if they all suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder in the imperial examination. As long as there is a imperial examination, no matter who organizes it, they can't help but participate. Not only did some people break into the occupied areas to participate, but even people from other provinces rushed over.
Zhang Xianzhong also held imperial examinations when he was in Wuchang. Even the farce-like imperial examination was the same, and someone rushed to it.
Li Zicheng prepared politics with one hand, and with the other hand, he also asked the scribes of Hongwenguan to send out letters everywhere. Ask the magistrates to submit. He also didn't believe that the whole world could spread the word, and after the text was the camp army. This is also because he knows that the Ming Court no longer has an army capable of fighting, otherwise he would not dare to use the main force so dispersed.
For a time, the entire northwest land was flying the banner of "Shun", as if the world had been decided. The guards in various places vied with each other to surrender, lest they fall behind. Even so. With the vastness of western China, it will take a month to completely take the western provinces into the bag.
In the midst of the shouts of the ministers, there was a trace of noise.
Shaanxi Yulinwei, that is, Yansui Town in the Nine Sides, did not fall.
Li Zicheng sent the debater Shu Junrui to recruit the generals of Yulin with 50,000 taels of silver. He also ordered Li Guo and Liu Fangliang to lead an army of 70,000 to set off later, and once the persuasion failed, they would attack by force. After making these arrangements, Li Zicheng built an ancestral tomb in Mizhi, killed several villagers who participated in digging graves, changed Yan'an to Tianbao Mansion, Mizhi to Tianbao County, and returned to Xi'an. Gao Jie, who originally fled to Yan'an, had already fled again, crossed the Yellow River from Jiazhou, and entered Shanxi.
Yulin's battle report soon followed Gao Jie's rout to the prince's army.
When Li Zicheng conquered Yan'an, Wang Ding, the general soldier of Yansui, abandoned the city with his cronies and fled. Yulin Daodu Ren and the deputy general Hui Xian, the general Liu Tingjie and other liaison generals You Shiwei, Wang Shiqin, Wang Shiguo, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji, Wang Xueshu, and the former Yansui general Li Changling, with You Shiwei as the commander, scattered all the wealth to recruit soldiers to resist thieves and defend the city.
Shu Junrui talked in the city for two whole days, and finally the talks collapsed, and the army began to attack the city. At this time, the equipment of the invasion army was already superior to that of the officers and soldiers, except for building a take-off tower and shooting at the defenders of the city. It even sent a train captured in Jiaxian County to bombard the city wall with artillery. After seven days and nights of fierce fighting, the old and weak, women and children in the city all went to the city walls to fight, and finally died in the king's affairs.
"I didn't expect Yu Linwei to have backbone." Zhu Cihong sighed: "I knew that they were so loyal and brave, and I should have issued an order for them to abandon Yulin and come to Shanxi to be used." ”
"Your Highness, even the Holy One would not dare to do anything about abandoning the land." Wu Fu explained: "It is precisely because of these loyal and brave martyrs that my emperor Ming has the cultural and martial arts that are not inferior to the Tang and Song dynasties. ”
Only then can we have the backbone of the nation!
Zhu Cihong silently bowed his head in agreement.
Sun Chuanting also sighed: "Your Highness, this You Shiwei is really a pity. The three You brothers, Shigong, Shiwei, and Shilu are all highly meritorious. Especially this You Shiwei, the official of the Apocalypse to the Jianchang Battalion, was transferred to guard the Great Wall on the wall. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he moved to the mountains and seas, and the deputy commander-in-chief. In the battle of Ningyuan, he followed Man Gui to help, and fought in the east of the city. Chongzhen was promoted to chief military officer in the second year, guarding Juyong and Changping. In the fourth year, Song Wei was the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan and accumulated funds to the governor of Zuodu. Eight years with the governor Hong Chengchou out of the customs to fight thieves.
"Hong Chengchou ordered him and his general Xu Laichao to be stationed in Yongning and Lushi Mountains because of the strong forces of Shiwei's subordinates, so as to guard the danger of Luonan Lancao River and Guanyang Pass. Later, Hong Chengchou entered the customs, and the thieves avoided him and went south, and then went to the Lu clan from Lantian. Blocked by Shiwei, he can only re-negotiate and Luoshanzhong. Xu Laichao's 3,000 people refused to enter the mountain and made a big noise. As soon as the thief came, Xu Lai fled towards the wind, and the whole army was killed. You Shiwei was dismissed from his post because he had been alone in the mountain for too long, a great epidemic occurred in the camp, he lost the battle with the thieves, and he was seriously injured.
"When Chongzhen was ten years old, Lu Xiang, the governor of Xuanda, was promoted to him, and it was a pity that he went to the court and asked for a job. The Holy Lord ordered You Shiwei to serve in the Xiangsheng army. Xiang Sheng died in battle, and he ended up being exempted from duty and returning to his hometown. ”
Zhu Cihong looked at the military newspaper in his hand, and said secretly in his heart: This was just delivered, Sun Chuanting must not have any preparations, and he was able to tell the allusions in the military so clearly and fluently, this experience and memory are really admirable.
Sun Chuanting immediately said the resumes of several other people mentioned in the military newspaper, such as Wang Shiqin and Shiguo Brothers, who are also veterans of border towns. Wang Shiqin once served as the commander-in-chief of the left part of Shanhai, and also fought with Hong Chengchou to suppress thieves, and later returned home. Shiguo also served as the commander-in-chief of Liugou.
Sun Chuanting has been in the army for a long time, and the allusions to these characters are all personally seen and heard, and it is inevitable that they will be mixed with personal emotions.
"I just thought that Yansui Town was just a border town, with border soldiers who were good at fighting, but I didn't expect it to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there were so many old handsome." Zhu Cihong regretted: "What a mistake! ”
Especially You Shiwei, who has guarded the Great Wall, crossed the Shanhaiguan, fought Jianyu in Liaodong, and suppressed thieves in the Central Plains...... In the hands of Man Gui, Hong Chengchou, and Lu Xiangsheng, the veteran veterans who were the most proficient at fighting in the Ming Dynasty, it was really a loss for the country to die in the hands of Li Chuang!
Wu Fu is not familiar with military affairs, but he has also heard of You Shiwei and others, and he sighed together. The three of them were talking, when suddenly someone outside the door reported: "Capture a thief and a traitor!" ”
Zhu Cihong was quite strange: "This is not the first time, why did you come to report it specially?" ”
The soldier's face turned red and he said, "Your Highness, this spy said that there is a letter to be submitted to His Highness." ”
"Bring in the letter." Zhu Cihong said to the two cardinals: "Look at what Li Zicheng has to tell me." (To be continued......)
