On the first day of the seventh month of the second year of the reign of the country, the enthronement ceremony of the new dynasty slowly kicked off in a grand trip.

Early in the morning, Su Yan, who stayed in the imperial city one night in advance, went out of the palace to take a car under the invitation of the inner court officials, and hundreds of civil and military officials from the king of Yanping County and the king of Xining all followed the Son of Heaven to go out together, the honor guard was in front, no music was played, and the whole team was in good order, leaving the inner city of Nanjing from Chaoyangmen.

The team went all the way to the top of the Purple Mountain, where there is still a place for Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to worship the sky, which has also become new under the renovation of more than a month.

Su Yan was dressed in an emperor's crown and wore twelve crowns, and the drooping front and back of the crown covered his face so that people couldn't see it clearly.

After getting out of the car, Taichang Temple Sicheng guided Su Yan up the steps of the Temple of Heaven, and the band and civil and military officials were in place at the same time, lined up on the east and west sides of the steps.

After the hundred officials were in place, the ceremonial officer shouted "Welcome to the gods", and Xielulang began to play "Welcome to the Gods", and the praise guide guide Su Yan to the front of the gods.

"Kneel! Incense—"

Holding incense and praising the official shouted sharply, Su Yan took a deep breath, knelt down slowly, took the three sticks of incense from the hand of the incense official kneeling on his left, and bowed to the god After worshipping the incense, he only heard the praise and the official shout "reset" again, he slowly got up, and the music stopped.

After the first ceremony, Su Yan walked to the reading house, the music stopped, and the surrounding gongs and drums suddenly became silent, and only the faint sound of the north wind blowing through could be heard.

Su Yan glanced at the ministers, knelt down again, and the hundred officials also knelt down together, and then, Su Yan unfolded the blessing with his own hands, and his voice echoed above the silent altar:

"Zhu Wen said: Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ximing Dynasty, expelled the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty, and his sons, sons, and grandchildren have more than 100 years. Passed to Emperor Wei Zonglie, the rise of Donghu, Li Chuang rebelled, captured the Jingshi, Weizong from the coal mountain, the court moved south, repeatedly fell into civil strife, every time Donghu entered the customs, stole Shenzhou, called himself the Qing Dynasty, shaved his hair and was easy to wear, killed the people, people and gods were angry, and heaven and earth were intolerable. The minister was a cloth in southern Fujian, the Qing soldiers killed my parents, destroyed my state, the minister raised volunteers, recovered Fujian from a corner of Quanzhou, and assisted by the military generals of the courtiers, expelled Hu Lu in the south of the Yangtze River, recovered the southern capital, and attacked Huaibei and Shandong in the north, and collected half of the rivers and mountains.

The minister was originally a courtier of the Ming family, and wanted to welcome Emperor Ningzong back to the southern capital, and the pseudo-Qin Sun was expected to kill Ningzong and a cadre of civil and military ministers. Today's next general will be restored, the secretary widely recommended there are three, to the minister to respect the emperor's number, the ministers can not resign, and then resign for fear that the Qing heart is cold, is used to set up an altar in the sun of Zhongshan on the first day of July this year to announce the emperor of God, there must be the number of the world called Xia, Jianyuan Wu'an, from now on for the first year of Wu'an. Obey the mandate of heaven, harmonize the hearts of the people, pay homage to the temple, proclaim to the world, and grant amnesty to hundreds of millions of people to inherit orthodoxy.

I am the common people of southern Fujian, relying on the grace of heaven, inheriting the emperor's business, ascending to the great treasure for the first time, I will respect the way of the virtuous, respect the moral education of the teacher, understand the sage of Yao Shun, Xi Han and Tang dynasties, recruit the people without coercion, and Xuan Baiguan has no disadvantages at all. I think of the grand industry, all the secretaries together and stand, all the sincere wisdom of the people, the soldiers of the Xinjiang Pass, will be rewarded for merit, small is the town, up to the three Qing. The ministers of the humerus, fulfill their duties, the monarch and the people are one, and support the society together, will make the rivers and mountains of the world live together, and the sun and the moon will shine together."

After the congratulations, there was another period of cumbersome etiquette, and then it was opened with the book of the Son of Heaven, and the civil and military officials returned to the imperial city with the Son of Heaven in the noisy sky of gongs and drums.

After returning to the imperial city, Su Yan read out the statement again, making Zheng Chagu the queen of the Middle Palace, Su Weize, the prince of Chu, as the crown prince, changing Nanjing to Jiangning Mansion, which is the national capital, and rewarding a group of humerus courtiers.

The new emperor ascended the throne, the world was jubilant, and the sun and moon and the same flag representing the Ming Dynasty slowly fell in the reluctant eyes of some of the people who had the Ming room in their hearts, and it was replaced by the soaring dragon flag of the new dynasty.

The news of Xia taking the Ming and replacing him soon spread all over the world, and the Ming army in various places changed their flags one after another, calling them the Xia Army.

At this time, Wu Sangui, the king of Zhou, who was leading the army to Shuntianfu, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he waited for Su Yan to be unable to hold back and usurp the emperor, and then under the advice of his staff, he drew up a crusade against Su Yan, criticizing Su Yan for usurping the throne as a minister and claiming the throne, saying that the Xia Dynasty he established was a pseudo-dynasty and had no orthodoxy.

After the text was issued, Wu Sangui thought that it would get a response from all over the country, and even in the Xia army

The generals who were dissatisfied with Su Yan's claim to be the emperor led troops to vote, but what he never expected was that after his inscription was issued, it was like a pebble thrown into the vast sea, except for the small waves at the beginning, he did not get the slightest response.

It's a little awkward.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but wonder if the Ming Dynasty was really exhausted, otherwise why no one responded to his message, it stands to reason that after Su Yan said that after the emperor, those remnants of the Ming Dynasty would come to his side to the Zhaowu court under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, which is really too weird.

Sheng Jing, Emperor Shunzhi, who just had a new prince named Aixin Jueluo Xuanye more than three months ago, didn't care about the change of regime in the Guan, at this time he had completely lost the idea of continuing to enter the Guan, and just wanted to keep the ancestral inheritance outside the Guan, and let those Han people kill each other in the Guannei.

Not only Emperor Shunzhi, but also many officials in the court also thought the same as him, the main battle faction was either killed by the Ming army, or was just as scared as him, although the ransomed Prince of Chengze Shuosai still dreamed of killing back for revenge, but he made the court lose face, and now it is equivalent to a state of semi-house arrest.

To the south, Menggun's Mansion was the last place to get the news, the capital of the Sun Qin Dynasty had become apparently prosperous after more than a year of Sun Kewang's rule, with low earthen walls replaced with high walls of blue bricks, and several splendid palaces rising from the ground.

That is the palace of the Sun Qin Dynasty, although the scale is not as good as the Qin Palace, which Sun Kewang dreamed of day and night, but in this relatively barren border place, Sun Kewang is also satisfied.

After learning the news that Su Yan was called emperor, Sun Kewang laughed, he knew that Su Yan was not a thing in the pool, not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a matter of time before he became emperor, he threw the letter recording the news on the table, and sneered:

"Su Yan, Su Yan, you and I are all the way, it's just that you are luckier than me, and you can endure more, now think about it, there is a chance that Yongli Lao'er was murdered by you, but it's a pity that the king is defeated, and this black pot I will always be burdened."

……

After Su Yan ascended the throne and became emperor, he first did four things.

The first thing is to convene the cabinet to change the temple number for Ming Ningzong again, Yongli Emperor is the last orthodox Ming Dynasty emperor, Ningzong is not suitable as the temple name of the last emperor, so after discussion, it was changed to the historical Ming Zhaozong.

In addition to changing the temple name to Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, Su Yan also took away the late Taifu and Ningxia King Li Chengdong "Loyal Martyr" nickname, Li Chengdong has been repeated all his life, and Wu Sangui is too much to compare, where is he worthy of the nickname "Loyal Martyr"?

The second thing is that Su Yan decided to carry out a nationwide opening of the academy to show the importance of the new dynasty to the rule of culture, and to carry out the "Jingcha" and "grand plan" for the existing officials, the so-called Jingcha is the assessment of officials in Beijing, and the grand plan is the assessment of local officials in various provinces except for the Beijing Division.

Jingcha and the Great Plan are the most important ways to improve the rule of officials, and Xia Chengming's system, this system is naturally retained, and he stipulates that it will be held every three years starting from this year.

Third, Su Yan ordered Kong Xingxi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, the Shangshu Jiechongxi of the Criminal Department, and Fan Zhengen, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to revise and compile the laws of the new dynasty on the basis of the "Da Ming Law".

He still remembered the words of Mr. Qian Xuesen, the founder of the two bombs and one star, "To disintegrate a nation, you only need to take away the backbone and blood of their men, and take away the integrity and kindness of their women." Therefore, he specially instructed the three to severely punish the crime of the common woman.

Fourth, two days after ascending the throne, Su Yan decided to carry out a thorough reform of the current military attache system.

In fact, this system has been virtually absent in the late Ming Dynasty, and the military position of the five military governors is more like a fictitious position, and the military power has been transferred to the hands of military generals such as the general army and the generals.

Therefore, Su Yan ordered the abolition of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the establishment of the Governor's Office, which was similar to the Ministry of National Defense in later generations, with one Governor and one Governor on the left and right, three Governors and Governors, and the Operations Division, the Training Division, and the Armaments Division.

Operations Division

As the name suggests, it is responsible for coordinating the army's operations in wartime, directly responsible to the emperor, and there is no need to report the front-line battle report to the emperor directly through the military department.

Because the new dynasty will adopt a conscription system to maintain a standing army, the recruitment and training of new recruits in the army will be entrusted to the training department.

The Armaments Division will be responsible for the supply or replacement of armaments for troops on expedition or in peacetime, but will not be responsible for rations, but only for the provision of weapons, equipment and ammunition.

In addition to the Governor's Office, Su Yan also promoted the Navy Department to the Navy Governor's Office, which is the same level as the Governor's Office, with one left and right governors, three governors and three governors, and three temporary shipbuilding divisions, operations divisions and logistics divisions, which are also headed by the governor Tongzhi, and Huang Enben, the commander of the Navy Division, served as the first left governor of the Naval Governor's Office.

Although Su Yan did not have to worry about the monopoly of the generals of the army, he still had to consider future generations, so he stipulated that the Governor's Office and the Naval Governor's Office had no right to dispatch the army, and the power of dispatch was directly controlled by the emperor, and the military department had the right to appoint, dismiss, and promote in the army, but it did not command the army.

The central government set up the general governor's office and the naval army governor's office, and the provinces and localities also abolished the backward guard system, and set up a company at the county level as a garrison, and the state capital set up a standard as a garrison, and the governor was dismissed from his post.

There are governors and governors above the commander of the capital, and the governors are oppressed, and unless they are united in their hearts, there is no way to rebel within the system, even if they have great skills.
