Chapter 1073: The Regent
Qian Qianyi, who has no integrity, is just a microcosm of that era. The deceased Ming was neither Li Zicheng's Great Shun nor the Qing Dynasty, which was the regent of Dolgon, but the Ming Dynasty itself.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, party disputes broke out, and the Donglin Party was in turmoil and fought against each other.
After Chongzhen hanged himself, the prince did not supervise the country in Jianye according to the ancestral system at that time, which led to the death of Chongzhen, and the prince and Chongzhen were all captured, and the throne could only be inherited according to the rules of brother and brother.
At that time, he was the first to choose King Fu, King Gui supported by Shi Kefa and others, and King Lu supported by the Donglin Party. The Three Kings and their supporters vied with each other to fight, and in spite of the northern form, they gave the Qing ample time to gain a foothold in North China and sweep away the Dashun army.
In the end, King Fu won the support of Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, the main armed forces of the Jianye regime, the four towns of Jiangbei, and became the victor, ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, known as Emperor Hongguang in history.
Zhu Yousong turned to the warlords of the Four Towns to support him, which had a significant impact on the subsequent changes in the situation.
The most direct effect is to make him fulfill his wish and smoothly ascend to the supreme throne, while the indirect effect is that the towns of Jiangbei regard themselves as "benefactors of the Son of Heaven" and "Conglong Yuanxun".
Jianye went from the emperor to the important minister, and no one could control this high-flying and domineering army, and since then the Southern Ming warlord Xunzhen has been indiscriminate.
Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, etc. are all brave men who came out of their own army, and their subordinates have their own hearts, but there is no shortage of good generals and warriors. If Zhu Yousong has a little experience in the power and strategy of his ancestor and the ancestor, as long as he controls it properly, he can exert means and influence when relying on the four towns to support him, so that the four towns can be used for his own use.
It's a pity that Zhu Yousong inherited Nai's father's wide heart and fat body, but he did not inherit Naizu's eloquence and martial arts.
Because of the infighting, Shi Kefa stuck to the city during the Battle of Yangzhou, but the four towns in Jiangbei watched from the wall and did not help, which eventually led to the historical tragedy of "Yangzhou Ten Days".
After the fall of Jianye, Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, Hangzhou, Zhu Ciqi, the king of Fuzhou, and Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang in Guilin, were established one after another, but they were all short-lived and ended in a few days.
On the way to the palace, Ouyang Shuo discussed the battle situation with the phoenix prisoner, and said: "If you want to turn the tide of the battle in this battle, it is far from enough to rely on the 200,000 troops we brought, and you must rely on the aboriginal army. ”
"The four towns of Jiangbei, the remnants of the Dashun Army, and even the Great Western Army are all objects that can be fought for."
The phoenix prisoner was not ignorant, and asked, "These guys have different thoughts, can they listen to us?" ”
"Naturally not!"
Ouyang Shuo was not arrogant enough to be able to show the aura of the king on the battle map, and the warlords of all roads bowed their heads. In the campaign map, there is no one to bird him, the summer king.
"If we want to subdue the crowd, we must have an army in our hands, and an army of 200,000 is our biggest bargaining chip. Second, they must have a record of being able to do it, and if they don't show their hands, how can they be convinced. ”
After a pause, Ouyang Shuo continued: "More importantly, we have to raise a banner so that the warlords of Zhulu can temporarily rest assured that they will fight among themselves and unanimously crusade against the Qing army." ”
The phoenix prisoner said: "This is not easy. ”
"It's not easy." Ouyang Shuo bowed his head, "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold." We don't have much time to spend here, so we can only use both rigidity and softness, and if necessary, we still need to use some thunderous means. ”
"You can do it!" The phoenix prisoner is very simple, but Ouyang Shuo is the first to look forward.
Ouyang Shuo heard this, and shook his head amusedly, but he heard that this only remaining female lord in the Huaxia District would soon be the first queen of the Huaxia District, and she would not be less powerful in Hedong Province.
As they spoke, the two had already entered the palace.
On the top of the main hall, Emperor Hongguang sat on the throne, but he did not have much spirit. The eyes of the military officials below the hall looking at them were also different, some were vigilant, some were inquisitive, some were eager, and so on.
"A hodgepodge!"
Ouyang Shuo came to such a conclusion. In front of the civil official, Ouyang Shuo saw the notorious secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This person is not dead, Ouyang Shuo came in vain.
Next, the pair between Ouyang Shuo and Emperor Hongguang seemed to be uneventful, but in fact, it made the ministers listen to the ups and downs of their hearts and look at each other.
Ouyang Shuo recognized the orthodoxy of Emperor Hongguang, and was willing to maintain and defend this orthodoxy, making the 200,000 Inhuman Legion under his command the biggest bargaining chip for Emperor Hongguang against the four towns of Jiangbei.
This is Ouyang Shuo's cleverness.
One of the reasons for the frequent changes of Nanming's regime and their mutual tilt is that there is no convincing authority to dominate all directions, which gives other young people room to play.
If Ouyang Shuo came up, he copied the practice of the Anshi Rebellion or the Battle of Yashan, or did the abolition of the establishment, or put Emperor Hongguang aside and started a new stove, it would only intensify the internal turmoil and would not help.
There is an old saying, "If you want to take it, you will stick to it." ”
Ouyang Shuo can only realize his strategic intentions by stabilizing Emperor Hongguang first and holding him high. There is another big premise for him to do this, that is, although Emperor Hongguang does not have much eloquence and strategy, he is not a stupid person after all.
Sure enough, after receiving Ouyang Shuo's "allegiance", Emperor Hongguang Long Yan Dayue immediately reciprocated the favor and directly crowned Ouyang Shuo as the regent of Nanming and was in charge of hundreds of officials.
When the phoenix prisoner saw it, he could only admire.
…………
After the audience, the news that the imperial court had named Ouyang Shuo as regent spread all over the country.
"That's fun!"
There is a regent Dolgon in the Qing Dynasty, and there is a regent Ouyang Shuo in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the confrontation between the two does not know what kind of sparks will be sparked.
Just when the warlords from all walks of life thought that the newly appointed regent would come to a "new official to take office three fires" to burn down the four towns in Jiangbei or rectify the court situation, Ouyang Shuo did not move.
At the door of the mansion given to Ouyang Shuo by Emperor Hongguang, rows of carriages were parked, all of whom came to meet the regent, including people who sincerely served the country, and speculators like Qian Qianyi.
But no matter who it is, they all eat behind closed doors.
The fierce aura emanating from the Shenwu Guards guarding the mansion, as well as the faint smell of killing and blood, discouraged visitors, and no one dared to be presumptuous.
This made the warlords such as Gao Jie and Huang Degong, who were careful about the right, even more uneasy, thinking that the regent was holding back his big move and preparing to kill them all.
No wonder Gao Jie and the others were so nervous, Ouyang Shuo's regent was not an ordinary person, and his authority did not come from Emperor Hongguang's edict, but from the 200,000 army behind him.
Although I don't know what the combat power is, just with its peak military appearance, it is enough to make people feel terrified. In the face of such an opponent, how could Gao Jie and others be careless.
Just when the outside world was speculating, in the mansion, Ouyang Shuo presided over a military meeting.
