The year of Gengzi is destined to be an extraordinary year, and three emperors suddenly appeared on the land of China.

The first emperor was Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, who was welcomed by the Jinling court as the emperor in Jinling, called Yongli.

The second emperor was Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, who was supported by Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong and ascended the throne in the capital, called Longwu.

The third place is Huang Taiji, who wandered in Xi'an, although his hometown in Liaodong was occupied. But this buddy is not discouraged at all, and is ready to run Guanzhong for a long time, and then plot the world. Before plotting the world, you must first have an addiction to being an emperor. Even if the car overturns in the future, it can be proudly said that Lao Tzu is also a person who has been an emperor.

The difference between the time of Zhu Yujian and Zhu Yihai's accession to the throne was three days, and in this era when communication basically relied on roaring, when Zhu Yujian knew the news of Zhu Yihai's accession to the throne, Zhu Yihai also got the news of Zhu Yujian's accession to the throne almost at the same time.

In contrast, Huang Taiji is much more stable. His enthronement ceremony will have to wait for a month, and it will be announced to the world in advance. It seems that I am afraid that those guests who are far away will not have time to hurry!

The three-point world has become a fixed trend! Compared with the three, the imperial court in Jinling City was the most powerful. They not only controlled most of China, but also controlled the region, which was rich in products and rich in people. The most important thing is that because of the strict lockdown policy. Jiangnan was not ravaged by the plague this time, and the population was basically not lost.

Compared with strength, Zhu Yihai's court ranked second.

Li Xiao already had four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, occupying only most of Hebei, Liaodong, and the whole of Shandong. Although the territory occupied is not small, officials at all levels on the territory. Many of them are inextricably linked with the Southern Ming court. On the surface, it looks like the soldiers are strong and strong, but in fact, there are hidden worries everywhere.

The weakest is Huang Taiji, for the ancient land of Guanzhong. Huang Taiji and his Eight Banners are pure outsiders! However, Liaodong's hometown has been lost, and it can only occupy the precipitous Guanzhong. The most unfavorable thing is that the ravages of the plague have greatly reduced the combat power of the Eight Banners. Moreover, the soldiers of the Han army flag are also fluctuating. Huang Taiji had to use a lot of energy to watch the Han army flag soldiers in his hands not mutiny.

This is the year of Gengzi, an era full of turmoil, death, and sadness.

It is not as good as a peaceful dog from the chaotic people, and Henan, which is most severely poisoned by the plague, is now not much different from hell on earth. Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of Zhu Youzhen's death and Qian Qianyi's killing to bribe the first assistant Zhou Yanru. got the opportunity to drive out the Henan general army of the imperial court and occupied the whole of Henan himself. In Zhou Yanru's opinion, Henan is already rotten, and it is better to throw this mess to Zhang Xianzhong.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong, who was mixed with the whole of Henan, his old comrade-in-arms Li Zicheng was more unlucky. Huang Taiji occupied Guanzhong, and naturally didn't want to see a "buzzing" and "buzzing" fly on his territory. Although the Eight Banners had been tortured by the plague to death, it was still possible to shoot off Li Zicheng's fly. What's more, today's Huang Taiji not only has the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, but also the Han Army Banner with full firearms equipment.

A fly was swatted, and Li Zicheng suffered heavy losses. directly led eighteen henchmen and guards, plunged into Zhongnan Mountain and never came out again. Although Huang Taiji has the intention to kill them all, he is not familiar with the terrain. Eight hundred miles to the end of Nanshan, even if you scatter 100,000 Eight Banner soldiers in it, it is not a problem.

In May of this year, Zhu Yihai, the Longwu Emperor of the capital, invented a poem and called on the governors of the world to jointly crusade against the puppet emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Jade Rope, this article should have been written by Sun Chengzong. Ay......! I don't know what benefits Li Xiao gave him, but he was driven by any flashy child. Wen Tiren took the text of the world and walked in front of Zhou Yanru.

After a period of open and secret fighting, Zhou Yanru still became the first assistant of Nanming. Wen Tiren can only be relegated to the position of second assistant! Although I was not convinced, I still had to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.

"Long live the generosity of man, the people treat him like a father, and the soldiers like a mother. Now long live died at the hands of Jiangnan Xiaoxiao, and he is waiting for blood to be revealed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Ma Shiying and other traitors disregarded the ethical code in vain. hurriedly killed Qian Qianyi and established the Tang King as the king in order to hide his ulterior motives.

Zhou Yanru is unruly and unruly, and he doesn't know the emperor's grace. Killing the king and destroying the lord is a great rebellion, and the sin is unforgivable.

Long live is the king of the world, and the earth is born by the people. Now that the king is dead, the heavens and men are angry. We are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and we will get rid of Jinling Xiaoxiao. The upper can tell the mighty emperor's grace, and the lower can live up to the expectations of the people. Return the world to justice, and return the world to peace.

Punish the traitors, thank the world! Zhou Yanru groaned, and he didn't seem to be afraid of this sharp message.

"Jade Rope, can you still laugh?" Wen Tiren admired Zhou Yanru a little, isn't this stupid. If the governor of the world really rises up and swears allegiance to the king of Lu in the capital, then the Southern Ming court is still playing a fart.

"Changqing, what are you worried about? Is this one of these articles? If someone believes in this thing and rises up, he can only say that he is crazy. Zhang Xianzhong is a soldier in Henan. With Li Xiao's current combat strength, as long as he dispatches a partial division, he can beat the seemingly powerful Zhang Xianzhong like a dog.

But why didn't he do it? Let Zhang Xianzhong show off his power in Henan, but he didn't move at all? Because he was also plagued by the plague, although the capital was saved. But many places in Hebei have also been ravaged by the plague enough, and now Li Xiao needs to recuperate and recuperate, and he needs to accumulate strength.

Cao Huachun's informant newspaper said that Li Xiao recruited a lot of soldiers. Stepping up training around the capital day and night, this letter is actually to encourage the world's governors to make trouble with us, so as to free up time for Li Xiao to train the team and resume production and hoard materials. You see, his abacus is the same as that of Emperor Taizu back then. Dig deep holes and accumulate grain. As for this king, he also wants to use the banner of righteousness.

What a pity! The Tang King we set up is on par with the King of Lu in terms of blood, and even slightly inferior. Otherwise, we can use this to make an article.

Nowadays, there is Li Xiao in the capital, and there is Huang Taiji in the pass. Among the three parts of the world, we control the most population, grain, and wealth. Now Shi Kefa's Nanjing Forbidden Army has expanded to ten divisions. Although we can't compete with Li Xiao in terms of equipment, with Zhang Xianzhong and the guards from all over the south of the Yangtze River, our number is already ten times that of Li Xiao.

Although this force is not enough to destroy Li Xiao, it is more than enough for self-protection. What are you worried about? ”

"But sooner or later, this Li Xiao will gather outlaws to invade the south, and we will ...... then!"

"Hahaha! Changqing, do you think the old man will sit back and wait for Li Xiao to train his soldiers and hoard good supplies before he fights? As I said earlier, our advantage is that we are outnumbered. Dealing with Li Xiao's elite soldiers and strong generals will be a little difficult now. can deal with Huang Taiji in Guanzhong, then there is no problem.

His men had just experienced the plague and were already devastated. I heard that there were a lot of soldiers who fled, not to mention the Han Army Banner and even the Eight Banner soldiers were unstable. Many people are clamoring to go back to Liaodong!

As the saying goes, taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Li Xiao is recuperating in his life. Let's go ahead and kill Huang Taiji. As long as you occupy Guanzhong, you can threaten Zhili in the west. When the time comes, he Li Xiao wants to go south, and the capital will be empty. If we want to go west, we can march to Zhili in Henan. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! As a result, Li Xiao will be trapped in Zhili. Let's take the opportunity to march into Shandong, Li Xiao is difficult to take care of, there is no better way than to abandon the capital and retreat to Liaodong. Ma Shiying listened to Zhou Yanru's suggestion and was so excited that her face was flushed.

"Hmmm! The Jurchens are of a different race, and Huang Taiji brazenly proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an. This is an insult to our Chinese ancestors, and it is also a national righteousness for us to send troops to Guanzhong. If Li Xiao dares to take the opportunity to go south at this time, he will inevitably lose the hearts of the world. Brother Jade Rope, admire! Admire! For Zhou Yanru's strategic vision, Wen Tiren admired it so much.

"But people have scolded me, and it's not a matter if we don't scold back. Brother Changqing, your writing is good. Just write an essay to pay tribute to Sun Chengzong, and talk about the righteousness of the world. ”

"Whoa!" Wen Tiren responded with a "whoo" and quit.

Zhou Yanru wanted to attack Huang Taiji, but it was not a whim. He had already made careful arrangements, and Stilwell brought back a guy named Kuichi. It is said that he is an envoy of the Netherlands, and from his mouth, Zhou Yanru knows that Huang Taiji is now in great difficulty. That's why he made up his mind!

What made Zhou Yanru even more excited was that he was proficient in a pair of gun manufacturing technology. volunteered to help the general improve the weapons of the Nanjing Forbidden Army. A few days ago, a mortar-like thing was cast. After the test shot, Shi Kefa was very excited to report the good news to Zhou Yanru.

Although he doesn't know much about ordnance, judging from Shi Kefa's smile, it's a good thing.

Now the army can set off at any time, and there is a superintendent to make gunpowder to ensure it. It is easy to attack Huang Taiji, of course, if you want to completely eliminate Huang Taiji, you have to have internal response. Fortunately, as early as when Huang Taiji attacked Bauhinia Pass, the imperial court had already planted a thunder in Huang Taiji. As long as this thunderbolt sounds, Huang Taiji, who is busy facing the battle, will inevitably be blown to pieces.

Lintong, a suburb of Xi'an!

Since returning to the west with Huang Taiji, Hong Chengchou's department has been settled in Lintong. Because of Hong Chengchou's surrender, the families of the soldiers were treated well. It is impossible to live in Xi'an City, but this Lintong is still good. If it weren't for the Feng Shui Treasure Land, the First Emperor would not have been buried here.

The plague that swept through Guanzhong also came to Lintong, and the helpless Hongcheng Zhou could only arrange everyone into Lishan. After entering the mountain, you are isolated from the farmers, and the chance of getting sick is greatly reduced. I have to say, it's a great idea.

Of course, Hong Chengchou brought the team into the mountains. He also has his own purpose!

Hong Chengchou's handsome tent is now in a cave, sitting condescendingly on a tiger skin handsome chair, Hong Chengchou is not like a general, but more like a mountain king who occupies the mountain.

"Marshal, this time I met Shi Dewei, the son of the Master of the Military Department, the commander of the First Division of the Nanjing Forbidden Army. The imperial court has already agreed to march into Guanzhong. At that time, as long as we respond to the imperial court, we will be exempted from the sin of belonging to Huang Taiji in the first place. Zuo Liangyu stood next to the handsome chair and whispered.

"Forgive us from our original sins? At the beginning, Long Live privately ordered the prince to pass on the decree, saying that he would not let the family run out of money and act cheaply. Why is it all our sin now! He Huchen's temperament was very anxious, and he was so angry that his head smoked after listening to Zuo Liangyu's words.

"Brother Huchen! At this time and that time, Banzai has been assassinated in Nanjing. The prince also died for the martyrdom of the first emperor, and at that time the decree was an oracle, where can we find human and material evidence. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, we have to swallow this dead fly, and we have to swallow it if we don't swallow it. Zuo Liangyu looked at He Huchen helplessly.

"Hey......!" He Huchen sighed and smashed his fist on the desk, shaking the cups and plates.

"What's going on over there in Jinling?" Ignoring He Huchen, Hong Chengchou asked in a deep voice.

"The king of Tang has ascended the throne in Jinling, called Yongli. The Nanjing Forbidden Army has been expanded to ten divisions, and it is still expanding. The ordnance is the latest muskets and artillery, and I seem to be on par with the Liao army. Huang Taiji's Eight Banners want to bargain in the hands of the Nanjing Forbidden Army, I am afraid it will be difficult. Oh, by the way, Ichi is also in the Stilwell Army. ”

"Oh! That old boy actually ran to Jinling, well! This time, we have to follow the imperial court closely and Zhou Shoufu. Last time, we surrendered to Huang Taiji for the lives of our families. Although there are words from the prince, there is no proof of death now. Zuo Liangyu is right, we have to swallow this breath.

Huang Taiji is now in the western mountains, and the Jurchens want to go back to their hometown in Liaodong. The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are all thinking about how to escape! The plague has just been experienced, and the morale of the army has dropped to the extreme. Such an army, in the face of an elite division like the Nanjing Forbidden Army, could not bargain for any bargain at all.

In the future, Huang Taiji will either run away or be killed by the Nanjing Forbidden Army. The Jurchens who lost Liaodong have actually lost their roots. We can't follow Huang Taiji anymore, otherwise there is only a dead end. Hong Chengchou looked at the two henchmen with blazing eyes.

After all, it is still on the edge of Xi'an, and there are eight banner soldiers eyeing it all around. Once the news spreads, before Huang Taiji finishes his thousands of people, plus his family, he will be finished.

"! Following the Tartars like this, there is no way out. We are capable men of the Han family, why bother to be slaves under the Jurchens. He Huchen said angrily.

"Whatever the big marshal says, I Zuo Liangyu will do it. Everything is only the head of the handsome horse! "Zuo Liangyu looks like he will be an official, and his loyalty is comfortable.

"Okay, go back and restrain your subordinates. The family still lives in the mountains and is not allowed to go out, and the Nanjing Forbidden Army may be very chaotic when it arrives. Our family members have already experienced a military disaster, but we can't go through it again. Just wait for the arrival of the imperial army, and we should join forces to break through Xi'an City. At that time, as long as Huang Taiji is captured alive, we will not only be innocent, but also a great achievement. ”
