"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

The first emperor Chongzhen for 17 years, hard work, talent and wisdom. Occasionally, it should be crowded and laborious. On March 18 of the previous year, he reported the offender. Touching and mourning.

The country is in danger and the people's hearts are surging. Shiyun has a long monarch, that is, there is a Nanjing military department Shangshu Shi Kefa, to support the new king, to Hongguang to establish the sect.

Chongzhen Crown Prince Cihong Nandu, benevolent and virtuous, sage and knowledge, now continue the sect and ascend the throne. Build the name Shaowu, and broadcast the world.

The military department is still the book of Shi Kefa, leading the sword of Shang Fang to deal with heavy power, supervising military affairs in Jiangbei, resisting the captives, and all rewards will be discussed later.

The ministers of Hongguang did their best, they were loyal to the battle, the artifact was safe, and Shaowu was peaceful in the north. Personally.

Chin this. ”

In March, Zuo Liangyu raised troops in Wuchang in the name of supporting the crown prince, claiming to be 10 battalions of 200,000 troops, and went east along the river.

Originally, the slogan was very good, but it didn't come to fruition, and a few days later, Hongguang abdicated!

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the imperial court has been turned upside down, and the crown prince "Zhu Cihong", who was originally imprisoned, has miraculously ascended to the throne!

How he got there, no one knows the details of this, but it is indeed on top.

The crown prince succeeded to the throne, Hongguang abdicated, and the traitor Ma Shiying was ambushed, everything was logical, and all the conditions and requirements on Zuo Liangyu's text were met.

No one doubts that this prince is fake, and under the operation of the Donglin Party, the newly enthroned Zhu Cihong has already been packaged as a saint who has the world in mind.

For the left army, it was obvious that the slogan of "Qingjun side" was not working.

On the first day of succession, the edict promulgating the year name was sent to Zuo Liangyu's fleet of boats.

After half a day's effort, all the ten generals at the general level on the left knew it.

So with the edict, they came to Zuo Liangyu to discuss what to do next.

Zuo Liangyu has a headache these days, he can't sleep at night, he has insomnia all night, and now he is holding the edict tightly in his hand, and he doesn't know what to do next.

It's a mess!

Li Zicheng even lost Xi'an, and was chased by the Qing army in the north to run this way, Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng fought for more than ten years, and they were defeated repeatedly, and they didn't think they could win Li Zicheng at all.

Only then did he find a truth, go down the river to the east, and want to find a way out in Nanjing, but the situation took a turn for the worse, and no one expected that Emperor Hongguang would directly abdicate!

The left department fell into a dilemma, Wuchang had both Qing soldiers and Dashun troops, and their group of remnants were defeated, naturally they couldn't beat any of them, and going back was equivalent to looking for death.

However, it is not a good way to continue to go east, and there is no truth to be told, and it is not easy to provoke the Jiangbei Huang Degong Force, which was ordered to block the river, to fight bravely and skillfully.

Thinking about it, Zuo Liangyu suddenly felt that his head was getting more and more headaches, and he felt a pain in his heart.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" His son Zuo Mengeng stood aside, noticed something unusual, and hurriedly asked.

"I—I'm fine." Zuo Liangyu held on, gritted his teeth and sat up, thought for a long time, and said: "The overall situation has been decided, there is no point in continuing to go east, for the time being... Retire and return to Wuchang..."

"On the table of Nanjing, we say that we respect the Shaowu court and congratulate the crown prince on his succession to the throne."

Zuo Mengeng looked at the general soldiers around him, and when he saw that everyone was looking at each other, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to say it.

"Father, Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing army Azig and Duoduo in Wuchang a few days ago, and now he has abandoned Wuchang and led the main force of Liukou through the northwest of Jiangxi and went to Hunan."

"Even if Wuchang goes back, it's just an empty city!"

Zuo Liangyu was shocked, and suddenly for a while, only then did he realize it later, and gritted his teeth and said: "This group of pigtail soldiers really doesn't stop for a moment, and they all hit Wuchang!" ”

"If they don't force us to death, they won't stop!"

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Liangyu screamed miserably, covered his chest and rolled from the bed to the ground.

"Dashuai!"

"What's wrong with you, Dashuai?"

Everyone was flustered and surprised, and when they reacted, they went to see Zuo Liangyu, only to see that there was more air in and less air out.

Zuo Liangyu rolled on the ground, shouting loudly that he had a headache, pointing at his son Zuo Mengeng with one hand, opening his mouth wide but not saying a word.

In this way, he died in front of everyone's eyes.

Zuo Liangyu died violently on the river, and the total army of the 10th battalion on the left and 200,000 troops suddenly fell into a situation where the insects were leaderless.

Because he died so suddenly, he didn't even say his last words, and the generals lost their backbones and didn't know what to do next.

Zuo Mengeng is still a hairy boy, he has no size skills, he is afraid that he will not be able to subdue the generals, and he feels that he has no decision for the newly established Shaowu court, so it is better to surrender and use the 200,000 horses in his hands to mix up the future.

He thought for a long time, and finally said: "My father's death lies in the destiny of heaven. ”

"My father has been loyal all his life and has made great achievements, but what did Daming repay? Now in the Ming Dynasty, the number of qi has been exhausted, and the thieves have lost consecutive battles, and it is the end of the strong crossbow, I see, the destiny is in the Qing! ”

"All of you uncles are my father's old generals, if you descend with me, you will be promoted!"

After Zuo Mengeng finished speaking, he was still a little weak in his heart, because he didn't know if these ten general soldiers had any loyal generals of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the ten general soldiers on the left are not good at stubble, and it has long been seen that the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong is mediocre and unknown, and he will die sooner or later, and he has always had his own calculations.

If Zuo Liangyu hadn't been pressing, they would have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty or Dashun a long time ago.

Now that Zuo Liangyu is dead, it is his son who proposes it, so he naturally agrees in unison.

"The last general is mainly based on the order of the young marshal!"

......

Zuo Liangyu died of illness on the river, and his son Zuo Mengeng led an army of 200,000 to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The news reached Nanjing, shaking the government and the opposition.

At this time, Wang Zhiming, oh, yes, now his identity should be the former crown prince of Chongzhen, the current Shaowu Emperor Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong has only succeeded to the throne for three days, and he is now sitting in the Fengtian Palace, watching the first court meeting of the Shaowu Dynasty.

I have to say that the experience of this first court meeting was very interesting, and Zhu Cihong deeply realized what it is, this kind of court meeting, even if you don't go to it.

In addition to watching the monkey play back and forth at the bottom, it is indeed useless.

Historically, after the Qing army entered the customs, it did not rush to fight Nanjing, but first fought with Dashun for a year.

Beginning in May last year, the Qing army mobilized two main forces to encircle the Dashun Army entrenched in the northwest, and even Shandong, Huguang and other places left only a small number of green battalions to defend, and the troops were quite empty.

Dolgon saw very clearly that as long as Dashun was destroyed, it was only a matter of time before the whole country was unified.

As for Zhu Yousong, who was the emperor in Nanjing, I'm sorry, people didn't treat him as a green onion at all.

In the face of the key care of the Qing army, our King Li Chuang was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately dispatched the main force of the Dashun Army to organize a huge counteroffensive in the northwest.

The key battle of Shun and Qing in the northwest was the battle of Tongguan in the first month of this year.

Li Zicheng gathered 200,000 main forces of Dashun in the northwest to defend Tongguan, and fought fiercely with the Qing army until March.

Tongguan was lost, and Dashun was basically defeated in the northwest.

What follows is the familiar plot, Li Zicheng retreated all the way, first lost Xi'an, then lost the whole of Shaanxi, and now he is even defeated in Wuchang, and even Huguang can't stay, and plans to go to Hunan to do his old job to fight guerrillas.

Having said that, when Dashun fought fiercely with the Qing army in the northwest last year and fought for the Central Plains with each other, what was the former Hongguang Dynasty doing?

Zhu Cihong spent two days to watch the music, and sadly found that Hongguang had been established for a year, and he basically did nothing outside except for the internal friction of the party.

In fact, you should be confident and get rid of the basics, they just didn't do anything.

A year has passed, and the Hongguang Imperial Court is only in Nanjing, deceiving itself and others, neither going north to restore the Central Plains, nor has there been any Qingming measures to rectify the rule of officials.

The situation has deteriorated to such a point, and it is very interesting that the news that Zhu Cihong heard at today's court meeting was all a song of merit and virtue in changing the law.

Everyone is telling themselves, Your Majesty, when the Qing soldiers destroy Dashun, they will retreat outside the border, and we can go back to Beijing to restore the Ming Dynasty without blood.

The emotional Tartars have traveled thousands of miles to enter the customs, are they here to help me Zhongxing?

If it weren't for Zhu Cihong, who had crossed over and knew the truth in advance, maybe he would have been like Zhu Yousong, who was fooled and lame by this group of Donglin parties.

Before receiving the news of Zuo Mengeng's surrender, Zhu Cihong read the recital, which can basically be summed up in one sentence.

"I'm invincible tomorrow."

It feels like to Zhu Cihong that as soon as he succeeds to the throne, my Daqing will automatically withdraw from Guanwai, Dashun and Daxi will directly collapse, and the above table will be attached.

In the Ming Dynasty, these ministers of the humerus, the military generals were not able to go out to lead the troops to retreat and capture the Pingkou, and the civil officials had no talent for governing the country and the country, but the infighting and asking for rewards were all good hands.

"Your Majesty, since you have succeeded to the throne, shouldn't you be a great hero?"

"Am I supposed to be in the cabinet?"

"This goods are all in the cabinet, do I have to be a second emperor?"

Wenchen more or less gave Zhu Cihong some face as the emperor, and he didn't say it clearly, but the basic meaning was like this.

As for the generals who hold military power in other places, what they say is even more presumptuous.

Seal, seal a fart!

The more you want it, the more I don't mention it!

It's been two days since he succeeded to the throne, and Zhu Cihong has also sealed a Mu Hu, and none of the others have been sealed, no matter what it's called, anyway, it's a four-word policy to deal with, pretending to be stupid!

As soon as I heard that Zuo Mengeng's 200,000 army had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the court was in chaos for a moment.

There are all kinds of things to say, the main peace, the main surrender, and even those who suggest directly abandoning Nanjing and running away to Fujian, anyway, there is no main battle.

Listen, is there a human saying?

If the Qing soldiers chase them to Fujian again, will it be possible to become the emperor at sea?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Ma Shiying is ambushed, it is the top priority to eliminate the remnants of the eunuch party headed by Ruan Dacheng!"

Looking at this official who jumped out, Zhu Cihong smiled.

This group of Donglin Party is a demon again, and if they can't get the seal, they have to make an order to liquidate the remnants of the former eunuch party.

As soon as the news of the surrender of the 200,000 army to the Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng was defeated in Wuchang, indicating that the Qing troops would arrive in Nanjing in more than a month, and this group of goods still had to fight for the party.

But it was up to them.

After all, the Donglin Party is pinching its own bottom and wants to kill them, and it is not yet time.

Remember, this is not called confession, this is called political concessions!

What's more, as for Ruan Dacheng, the second minister who surrendered to Tatar Qing in the future, it is useless to keep it, and he should use his head to appease the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party has benefited, stop and stop, and I can do something practical!

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "What Aiqing said is very true, I think it is true, Ruan Dacheng is the leader of the eunuch party today, and everyone in the world will be punished!" ”

"Spread my will, kill Ruan Dacheng's nine clans, and raid the house!"

"Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are both loyal people, I will use it for other purposes, so let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Go, how about it?"

The Donglin Party was actually a little surprised by the methods of this fake emperor, originally they just wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ruan Dacheng, but they didn't expect to directly issue an order to punish the nine clans.

But that's okay, Mu Hu is half of his own people, and he killed Ruan Dacheng's nine clans, and the Donglin Party is naturally happy to see this kind of thing, and they will not oppose it.

So all the ministers looked at each other a few times, and said in unison: "The ministers obey the order, Your Majesty is really the king of the Holy Ming!" Da Ming is saved! ”
