"Pass the order, let King Fu go back to his home, and the generals of all departments will return to their stations, and they must not lead troops to Nanjing without the order of the prince, otherwise it will be a crime of great rebellion and exterminate the nine clans."

Zhu Cihong instantly became serious, and suddenly said sharply.

The ministers trembled with fright, and felt a shuddering and trembling feeling.

Its decisive momentum of killing made all the ministers think of the former Emperor Taizu Hongwu and Emperor Chengzu Yongle.

The ministers vaguely felt that this time the Ming Dynasty was really going to be prosperous.

"Obey orders!"

Shi Kefa immediately obeyed.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the Nanjing Imperial Palace! ”

Zhu Cihong said.

Zhu then moved to the eight-horse carriage and headed to the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

After Zhu Cihong left, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, slowly walked in.

"What do you think of the Prince?"

Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, leaned into Shi Kefa's ear and whispered.

"There is quite the style of Taizu and Chengzu!"

Shi Kefa was very satisfied and highly praised.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Cihong came to the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Nanjing Imperial Palace is the imperial palace built by Zhu Yuanzhang that year, since Zhu Di launched the battle of Jingjing, the Jianwen regime was destroyed, began to build the palace in Shuntian Mansion, and later after the completion of the construction of the Shuntian Imperial Palace, the capital was moved, and the imperial palace in Nanjing has been idle.

And in the north and south of the Beijing system.

He also left a set of six teams in Nanjing.

Now it's finally coming in handy.

The enthronement ceremony began the next day.

Sacrifice heaven and earth, and sue the temple.

Zhu Cihong accepted the persuasion of hundreds of officials, and after three resignations and three concessions, he was enthroned as emperor in Wuying Hall in accordance with the succession ceremony of the Ming Dynasty.

The enthronement ceremony lasted several days.

In the Fengtian Palace, the ministers began to discuss the name of the new dynasty and the cabinet candidates.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please choose the era name! ”

Shi Kefa stood up from the ranks of civil officials and said.

He then handed a drawn up book of dates to a eunuch, who presented it to the emperor.

Zhu Cihong opened the booklet and saw that the cabinet had drawn up more than a dozen era names, but none of them satisfied him.

"Pounce!"

Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, and directly slammed the booklet on the ground.

"Your Majesty, what are you?"

Shi Kefa and the others were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and asked.

"The dozen or so era names selected by the cabinet are mediocre and cannot show the aspirations of our monarchs and ministers."

Zhu Cihong immediately got up from the dragon chair and said.

"Among the emperors of our dynasty, Taizu and Chengzu Wenzhi martial arts are the highest, from the Taizu Hongwu year name and Chengzu Yongle year name each take a word, set Yongwu as the year name, I am inspired to become the third great monarch of the Ming Dynasty after the Taizu Hongwu Emperor and the Chengzu Yongle Emperor, I will take the Zhongxing Daming, to restore the rivers and mountains as a lifelong goal, and vow to personally mention the six divisions, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the recovery of the Beijing Division, the clarification of the United States, and return to the old capital."

Zhu Cihong's eyes were firm and he said impassionedly.

"Your Majesty! I'm hopeful of ZTE! ”

After Shi Kefa and the other ministers heard this, they all boiled with enthusiasm.

Subsequently, Zhu Cihong was appointed, Shi Kefa was the secretary of the Ministry of War, Jiang Yueguang was the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhang Shenyan was the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Hongtu was the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Lu Daqi was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and He Yingrui was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Among them, Shi Kefa, Jiang Yueguang, Gao Hongtu and others were appointed as cabinet scholars, and the other three were selected from some virtuous ministers in the court.

Shi Kefa was appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet by Zhu Cihong, the Yongwu Emperor.

This year, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen is still used, and the following year is officially changed to the first year of Yongwu.

After Emperor Yongwu ascended the throne, he still followed Luo Yangxing who followed him south as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds and named him the Marquis of Loyalty.

Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and other ministers were all squeezed out of the cabinet and the six books by Zhu Cihong.

After the appointment of the Cabinet and the six ministries.

Soon came May, Nanjing Imperial Palace Fengtian Palace.

Received news from the north.

"Emperor Qi, a secret report came from the north, Wu Sangui opened and closed the Qing army into the customs, the Qing army played the banner of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen, and defeated hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops in a stone, Dashun Li Zicheng led his Dashun soldiers and horses, has withdrawn from the capital, all the way to defeat, now the situation in the Central Plains is turbulent, the chaotic soldiers scattered and fled south, the minister suggested the establishment of four towns in Jiangbei, retreat can protect Nanjing, enter the northern expedition, and recover the Central Plains."

Shi Kefa hurriedly played.

Zhu Cihong laughed directly in his heart when he heard this, if he hadn't read history, he would really be fooled by Shi Kefa's words.

Set up four towns in Jiangbei? Historically, after the establishment of the four towns in Jiangbei, they could not be adjusted at all, and the emperor was directly set aside.

Zhu Cihong didn't want to repeat the disaster of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, now the military power is basically in the hands of Gao Jie and others, these people are similar to warlords, private soldiers only listen to them, do not listen to the emperor, in the establishment of four towns, increase their military independence, increase their troops, then it will be even more difficult to mobilize.

"The rebellion of the Tang Dynasty feudal towns, do I still want to remind you?"

Zhu Cihong immediately refuted Shi Kefadao.

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the past! It's a different story! If you don't delegate power, it may be difficult to recover the Central Plains, Zhongxing Daming! ”

Shi Kefa strongly insisted on the establishment of the Four Towns Road.

If Shi Kefa had read the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty and knew that after the establishment of the four towns, not only could he not move, but in the face of the Qing army, he would have directly surrendered hundreds of thousands of people, he would have regretted today's decision.

"Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing are no different from warlords, ignoring the law and discipline, plundering everywhere, everywhere they go, the people are afraid of them like tigers, and even the law and discipline are difficult to restrain them, and in the establishment of the four towns, I am afraid it will be even more lawless."

"If you are in a bad mood, you will go south directly, and with the strength of Nanjing, can you compete with it? Shi Shoufu doesn't need to say it anymore! If you want to recover the Central Plains, you should establish a direct army belonging to the imperial court, instead of raising wolves with money to set up four towns, and the establishment of four towns will be stopped. ”

Zhu Cihong resolutely refused to set up the Four Towns Road.

Seeing that the emperor did not agree to the establishment of the four towns, Shi Kefa had no choice but to give up.

The scourge of the four towns, Zhu Cihong is in the history books of the present world, but he remembers it very clearly.

In addition to Huang Degong, the four towns are okay, what Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other generations, among which Gao Jie was thrown by Li Zicheng, who is a ruffian, and the other two Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing directly defected to the Qing army, and Hongguang perished, there are many reasons related to the four towns, of course, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng are indispensable.

Although Gao Jie was a brutal and promiscuous man in history, he connived at his subordinates to plunder the Quartet, but at least he did not surrender to the Qing, he was about to go out of the Northern Expedition, and was killed by his subordinate Xu Dingguo, and Xu Dingguo surrendered.

In history, Liu Liangzuo surrendered directly without a fight and surrendered with 100,000 Ming troops.

Liu Zeqing is even more shameless, when the Dashun army approached the Beijing Division, he was the general soldier of Shandong, Chongzhen ordered him to quickly enter the Weijing Division, he lied that he fell from his horse and was injured, and refused to obey the edict, it can be said that the credit for the fall of the North [Beijing] has his share, and later after the Dashun army entered Shandong, he fled without a fight, led the main force south, and surrendered directly with the troops when the Qing army invaded the south.

Among the four towns in history, only Huang Degong is still virtuous, but it is a pity that it is difficult to sing alone, and he was martyred in the end, Zhu Cihong will never let such a tragedy repeat itself.

Now that he has been reborn this time, he is going to completely change history.

According to historical development, the Qing army would reach Yangzhou in less than a year.

There is not much time left for Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong must form a new army that is brave and good at fighting before the Qing army comes, so as to keep the Ming Dynasty.
