Chapter 143: The Confrontation of the Three Emperors (Part II)

In the city of Xuzhou, it originally belonged to the "palace" of Wang Ke, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, but now it has become the place where Huang Taiji is stationed.

Sitting on a bronze gilt luxury dragon chair, looking at the report sent by Abatai from the front line about the occupation of Yangzhou, Huang Taiji was full of emotion for a while: at this time last year, he was still fishing on the bank of the Liao River with several brothers, but at this moment this year, the Eight Banners under his command have already drunk the Yangtze River.

Everything was as beautiful as a dream.

And the other thing that made him feel more complacent was a high-end and high-grade expression at hand.

“…… Fu Yi Taiyun first enjoyed, all countries look up to the beginning of the Restoration, the Qiangang Zhongzheng, and the nine-fold Hong is more benevolent. Return to sincerity, and celebrate all over the world. His Majesty the Emperor, Chengtian Yuji, and the people with virtue. Xieri Tu and the first out, the six universes wear the gods, should be famous and prosperous, the holy emperor of the eight wildernesses. Mountains and rivers shine with the sun and the moon, and the country is forever. The ministers and other Que erected Confucianism, the chapter seam is slightly end, the inheritance of the special grace of the lie, the prosperity of the new dynasty today, the Chonglong of the holy learning, the fear of the backwards, the emperor of the Hehao, the admiration of the deep. I wish that the jade is auspicious, the heart of heaven is admired, the golden ou is consolidated, and the primate of the society is celebrated. The ministers have nothing to pay attention to the Xin Dance Screen Camp. I would like to make progress on the table. ”

Although this gorgeous "Persuasion Table" itself is nothing, since entering Beijing, Huang Taiji has received several copies of the "Persuasion Table", which is more brilliant than this text, but the signature at the end of this "Persuasion Table" is enough to make people look sideways!

-- This is the Confucian saint descendant of Qufu, Shandong, and the "Persuasion Table" presented by the Yan Shenggong of this generation!

Although the Confucian scholars in the world would not obey any orders of Yan Shenggong, the deferential attitude of the Confucian Mansion in Shandong also seemed to mean that such as the direction of the wind in the Shilin of the Heavens, this influential political implication was what really satisfied Huang Taiji.

As a result, Huang Taiji also reciprocated by issuing an edict to reward the Yansheng Mansion: "...... The first saint Confucius is the sect of the Taoist system of all ages. At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, a generation of outlines was often cultivated here, and the courtesy should be worshiped by the imperial officials, and the seal of the Holy Father and the four clans of the study and erudition can be guaranteed to ensure the longevity of the country and the rise of humanity. ”

If it is said that the "Persuasion Table" presented by the Confucius Mansion in Shandong made Huang Taiji very excited, then the "Palm Token" presented to Huang Taiji by Wang Ke, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, after being captured and surrendered, made him cry and laugh a little.

Because, that's a long fox with a broken tail!

-- Decades ago, when Wang Sen, the first leader of the Wenxiang Sect, was preaching in the countryside of Hebei, he claimed to have saved a fairy fox. Wang Sen called on all the believers with this fox tail, and many people attached to it, called the Wenxiang Sect.

Since the Smelling Fragrance Sect is named after this fox tail, then this fox tail with a "strange fragrance" has naturally become the most noble holy object in the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and its status is similar to the Buddhist Buddha relics and the Christian "true cross".

If it were another king who received such a thing, it would probably be a rarity at most. But for Huang Taiji in this time and space, it is an indescribable shame - because in the Central Plains folk, he has the title of "Demon Fox Daji Reincarnation"!

――The reason why the talented Huang Taiji became a fox spirit in this time and space is generally because of the butterfly effect brought by the traverser.

In the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, due to the repeated disturbances of Huangshi Chen Xin and other travelers, the achievements of the Jurchen Eight Banners are far less prominent than those in another time and space. Especially on the battlefield of Liaodong, when the fierce Jurchen iron cavalry was repeatedly beaten by the pikemen under Huangshi in various ways, the so-called battlefield myth of "Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible" has completely become a joke.

After Huangshi was transferred out of Liaodong and moved south to Fujian, although under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the power of the Eight Banners was revived again, and the troops came to Beijing several times. But in the eyes of the world, the vigorous rise of Liaodong Jiannu did not rely on the invincibility of the Jurchen iron cavalry, but on the efforts of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, to betray the country. In a sense, that's really the case......

In short, until Huang Taiji broke through the customs and entered Beijing last year, according to past experience, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition all agreed that the so-called Jurchen Iron Cavalry was not outstanding, and my Ming officials and soldiers would fight down with a little thought. And the reason why the Jiannu Tartars have been able to make such a big fuss over the years is not that the Jurchen iron cavalry is too capable of fighting - in fact, these Tartars are very unbeatable, and often they can't beat the infantry of General Huangshi with cavalry, and it is entirely because the court has always been listed with traitors, and there are constantly traitors who betray the country and frame Zhongliang, which has led to such a rotten defeat on the Liaodong front.

As for why there are so many Wenchen military generals who are confused, they actually go to the Jurchens one after another to be traitors, and even ambush themselves in the court as ghosts, even if they destroy their families...... Well, it is estimated that there are demon masters among the Jiannu, who are good at demagoguery, just like the Yellow Turban Dao in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, which can hook people's souls.

As a result, in the lyrics of the Beijing storyteller, the Jurchen thief chief Taiji was transformed into a nine-tailed male fox spirit reincarnated by Daji in the Shang Dynasty...... For example, Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Inspector were accidentally caught in his evil ways, and since then he has been obedient to Huang Taiji, not hesitating to fight to defeat his reputation and kill all over the door, but also to send food and money to fund Jiannu, and kill Mao Wenlong, paralyze Dongjiang Town, take the initiative to weaken the Great Wall pass, and finally help Huang Taiji break through the pass into Beijing, and cooperate with the outside to seize the three hundred years of Sheji of the Ming Dynasty!

Because of this matter, some Jurchen and Mongolian magnates were skeptical. There was even a secret envoy of the Wenxiang Sect who quietly came to Liaodong, whimsically wanting to pull Huang Taiji into the sect, and was ready to seal him as the "Supreme Nine-Tailed Great Protector!!

For this kind of hateful rumor that denies his human identity, Huang Taiji, as a generation of male masters, is naturally very angry, and has tried to clarify and justify, but unfortunately it has no effect at all. After last year, after the Liaoxi Jiangmen collectively defected and offered Shanhaiguan to Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners army was certainly advancing wildly in the Central Plains, seizing Beijing, Dinghebei, entering Shanxi, sweeping Shandong, and pulling out the city of Kaifeng, which made the Qing Dynasty powerful for a while, but the superstitious saying that "Huang Taiji is a nine-tailed male fox spirit" has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains.

And the relevant practical basis is also very sufficient: if the Nanu chieftain Taiji is not the nine-tailed male fox spirit reincarnated by Daji in the Shang Dynasty, then how could the Guanning army, which had been raised by the imperial court and guarded the country for many years, suddenly defect en masse? And how could those Donglin gentlemen in Beijing, who have always been square, disregard Shilin's reputation and resolutely sell themselves to take refuge? It is obvious that Huang Taiji's fox charm technique has been cultivated, so he hooked their souls!

Well, even this time Confucius Yan Shenggong wrote a letter to persuade him, maybe it will be reminded of Huang Taiji's "fox magic skills"!

Because such rumors are really noisy, Huang Taiji has now suffered from a certain degree of "fox phobia", as soon as he hears any words related to foxes, he will feel his scalp tingle, and even a fox skin scarf he used to wear has been replaced with a bear skin ......

In this case, seeing a fox tail presented by the Wenxiang Sect, Huang Taiji's perception in his heart was naturally conceivable. However, he is also a generation of heroes who have left a name in history, so he just rubbed his forehead and sighed, and basically regained his composure.

“…… Hehe, no wonder he actually sent someone to Guanwai to do what he wanted to do to Feng Zhen's 'Supreme Nine-Tails Great Protector', it turns out that this sect has been burning incense for fox spirits from the beginning...... Belch! Wait a minute! Since the Smelling Fragrance Sect originally worshipped foxes, but now they are surrendering and worshipping me as the Lord, wouldn't that be tantamount to confirming the rumors circulating outside, proving that I am indeed the nine-tailed male fox spirit reincarnated by Daji of the Shang Dynasty? ”

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Taiji suddenly felt dizzy, and felt that his whole person was a little bad again.

Fortunately, at this time, a noisy sound of gongs, drums and horns suddenly sounded from outside the door, interrupting his tangled thinking.

Immediately afterwards, another eunuch pushed the door in, and said respectfully to Huang Taiji:

“…… Your Majesty! The auspicious time has come! Please get out of the palace and worship heaven and earth! Ministers have been waiting for a long time! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On July 15 of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji set up an altar to worship heaven and earth in the suburbs of Xuzhou, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor under the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, and accepted the title of "Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng", and further promoted from the Khan of the Qing Dynasty to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, Huang Taiji announced that the Qing Dynasty would move its capital to Beijing, change the era name to Chongde, and canonize more than ten concubines, thus completing the identity transformation from the barbarian khan to the emperor of the Central Plains.

In addition, in order to show the difference from the Jurchen Jin Kingdom of the Wanyan clan in the past, Emperor Chongde Huang Taiji ordered the clan to be renamed Manchu.

After the enthronement ceremony, Huang Taiji held a great pilgrimage in the temporary golden tent of the imperial camp surrounded by his ministers, and in addition to the Manchu and Han officials and generals appointed by the Qing court, there were also congratulatory envoys from various Mongolian ministries and Korea.

Even the court of the Yonghe Emperor in Nanjing sent envoys to give gifts, and tried to take the opportunity to investigate the details of Jiannu.

On this Hajj, the Qing courtiers and foreign ministers presented many precious gifts, including red and white coral trees, beads made of amber coral pearls, pearls, etc., as well as jade pots with red gold jewelry with agarwood flowers, as well as cups, plates and exquisite utensils made of jade rhinoceros horns, glass agate, gold and silver; There are also sable tiger skin, leopard skin, saril satin and other high-end clothing, ginseng horses, carved saddle bows and carved arrows, tiger skin and leopard skin, delicate glass lamps, all kinds of precious porcelain, the finest tea and fragrant wood, cloisonné gilt armor, inlaid with precious stones of Miao knife, etc., for a time in the big tent piled up dazzling.

In return for these gifts, Huang Taiji ordered the performance of "Hundred Operas" for the internal and external ministers to enjoy. All of a sudden, the noisy gongs and drums opened, followed by a lively instrumental ensemble, and the traditional instruments of the Han nationality were mixed with Mongolian and Manchurian national instruments, which seemed very lively.

After the music stopped, he began to play the "Hundred Opera", as if to bless the emperor's "holy bow and recreation", and the first program was the dragon dance. This show was supposed to be played at night and was called "Playing the Dragon Lantern". Now that it is played during the day, the lights in the dragon's belly are no longer needed. Accompanied by the deafening sound of gongs and drums, a long dragon is ready with claws, flying and jumping, stretching or bending, hovering in the middle of the courtyard, very strong.

The next show after the dragon dance is the lion dance, followed by various vaudeville wrestling dances. The Mongolian men's dances are full of vigor and fierceness, while the Jurchen dances are some similar to dancing gods, and some simulate hunting, as if they have not escaped the style of barbarism...... Therefore, the Han scholars present looked very disgusted, thinking that this was a bad habit of vulgar barbarians, but they didn't dare to show it in front of the Eight Banners, so they had to laugh reluctantly.

Next, it was finally the turn of the Han courtesans in long skirts to appear, with flying skirts, light dance steps, graceful singing voices, and beautiful postures...... It was pleasing to the eyes of the Han scholars, and Huang Taiji was very satisfied, and he ordered them to perform several more times. After that, these captured courtesans were rewarded to the meritorious heroes, and finally the kings and ministers feasted together until they were full of wine and food, and then they dispersed happily.

At this point, with the enthronement of Huang Taiji in Xuzhou, there was a situation of confrontation between the three emperors within the traditional territory of Chinese civilization.

Of course, compared with Emperor Chongzhen, who fled all the way in Wuchang City, and Emperor Yonghe, who was like a clay puppet in Nanjing, Huang Taiji is obviously the most powerful of the three emperors, and it seems that he is about to become the most noble person in the world.

In short, after the Eight Banners marched into Huainan and drank the Yangtze River, the newly-born Qing Empire suddenly entered the most glorious peak.

It's a pity that after the most glorious peaks, the next moment is the darkest abyss!

When the "Chongde Emperor" Huang Taiji sat on the throne of the Xuzhou military camp, accepting the gifts and congratulations of the ministers with a smile on his face, and at the same time imagining how to set foot in the south of the Yangtze River to dominate the world, he didn't know that his hometown in Liaodong, which was thousands of miles away, had become a sea of blood and fire!

-- Under the joint efforts of the entire Huameng, the strategy of Liaodong, which had been planned for a long time by the Vladivostok Crossing Group, finally started vigorously!
