"The first way, the edict of oneself!" Gao Yiming said solemnly.

Wang Chengen just exclaimed, "Your Majesty! He was glared back by Gao Yiming with sharp eyes, so Gao Yiming thought about it on the road, now Daming is a rotten boat that may sink at any time, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are just internal contradictions, the Qing army outside the gate is the real hungry wolf, there is not much time left for him, he must use fierce medicine, regardless of life and death, Bo once, live up to this life.

"Since I succeeded to the throne, I am sorry for my ancestors, I am sorry for my subjects, I don't know people clearly, I don't know people clearly, I don't know people clearly, so that the heroes have fallen, and the people have suffered.

When the people in the tent heard this, they all burst into tears, is this still the suspicious and overwhelmed emperor, the world is saved.

Seeing that Wang Chengen had covered the jade seal, Gao Yiming took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he said: "Immediately issue the world with a clear edict!" ”

Although there was chaos in the north at this time, a complete set of teams in Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty was still there, the post station of the Ming Dynasty was still operating normally, and Gao Yiming's edict would soon spread all over the world.

Guanning Tieqi, who was the first to hear the content of the edict, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!" ”

The voice is deafening -

"Continue to draft the decree, exempt from taxation, since the date of the issuance of the decree, except for the merchants who are still taxed, the rest of the people are exempt from taxation for three years, the exemption period has passed, and the tax is levied according to the tax rate at the beginning of the founding of the country, although the merchants are not exempted, but the tax is levied according to the twenty taxes at the beginning of the founding of the country! It is still a clear edict to the world. ”

Wang Chengen received the order and used the seal.

"The third holy decree, for the rehabilitation of loyal ministers, first because I know no one is clear, resulting in Geng Ruqi, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua, Liu Ce, Yang Yipeng, Xiong Wencan and other generals to be damaged, so that the country has lost its pillars, I am now rehabilitated, from now on where a hundred battles do not retreat, and finally because of being outnumbered and resulting in the defeat of the war, no one will be held responsible, except for the decisive decision of fleeing from the battle and voluntarily surrendering, nothing else will be investigated, all the soldiers can use their lives, and the sacrificed soldiers will be generously compensated, if it is violated, the world will abandon it."

See Wang Chengen run out of seals.

Gao Yiming continued: "The fourth edict, to the people of the world, all the people who fled into the mountains and forests because of the coercion of the thieves or the people who were forced by the officials, from today on, I will pardon you for your innocence, as long as you are willing to go out of the mountains and forests or break away from the rebel team, I will not only not blame the past, but also give you land, so that you can live a stable life, if there is injustice, you can go to Nanjing and tell me in person, I am the master for you, the people of the world are the foundation of the empire, the foundation is not stable, the country will not be a country, the people are water, the Ming Dynasty is a boat, water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, I'm wrong, come back! ”

After Wang Chengen finished writing, Gao Yiming said with emotion: "What the people ask for is just to have something to support and rely on for the old, and then eat a full meal, the requirements are really not high, and the rulers of the dynasty are not willing to be satisfied, they really should be killed!" ”

Although Gao Yiming's point of view was agreed by everyone present, his murderous words still made everyone present feel excited.

"The fifth edict clearly tells the world that I, the Ming Dynasty, recognize Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, and the people who are currently in Daxi's sphere of influence can attach to Daxi if they want to, or they can return to the Ming Dynasty, and I will never be guilty."

Gao Yiming issued five holy decrees in one breath, and each time he issued a holy decree, the army shouted long live, and his voice was higher and higher.

"General Wu, the situation is critical now, we can't stay here for too long, you went back this time to make a feint, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are left in Shanhaiguan?"

"Back to the emperor, there are still more than 15,000 people."

"Good! Then I won't give you the 40,000 horses here, I will go to Jinan Mansion to make a few moves, they are just escorting, you have to act in secret, don't dare to let the enemy find out our intentions, you act yourself, remember! I will wait for you in Jinan Mansion, wait for you when you arrive, I will officially worship you as a general, the heavy responsibility of the empire is a general, take care of yourself here, don't dare to lose. ”

"Yes, please rest assured that the emperor will live up to his expectations!"

"By the way, do you take your father and your concubine with you, or let them come with me?"

"The minister went back this time, just a feint, let them protect His Majesty."

"Good! Then we'll see you in Jinan Mansion. ”

When Wu Sangui left, he only brought more than 20 generals.

After Wu Sangui left, Gao Yiming did not delay much, and ordered the army to quietly go towards Jinan Mansion, and he was ready to deal with Liu Zeqing, who did not obey the order, after arriving in Jinan Mansion, to clear the obstacles for Wu Sangui to take over Shandong.

After Wu Sangui took over Shandong, he could lead Shandong soldiers and horses to contain Li Zicheng and prevent him from rescuing Chang'an, and when the time was ripe, he could wait for the opportunity to recapture Shanhaiguan and deter the Qing army.

At the same time, Gao Yiming was ready to let Wu Sangui train a strong navy in Bohai Bay, Shandong, in order to threaten Shengjing, the base camp of the Qing army, and contain the Qing army from moving south, or at least delay the Qing army's southward movement. You must know that the naval warfare of the Ming army is very powerful, especially the warships are the most modern ones, which is precisely a major shortcoming of the Qing army.

On the way, Gao Yiming called Wang Chengen to his side and said: "You also heard it just now, I exempted the people of the world from money and food for three years, but fighting a war is a silver-burning business, and it is not okay to have no money, I am ready to let you go to Nanjing first, can you take on the big responsibility?" ”

"The slave and maid have followed the emperor since childhood, you have the drive, but please command, the slave and the maid will never give up."

"That's good, there is a word called fighting local tyrants to divide the land, you must not have heard of it, but as soon as I talk about it, you will understand, when there are always some rich and unkind guys, so that the local people hate and spurn it, I estimate that there are still many such people, you take 3,000 brocade guards to Nanjing, the task is to bring down this kind of local tyrants who have nothing to do with the governor of the state government and above, distribute the land to the people, and transport the money back to the Nanjing treasury, do you dare to do it?"

"This is the emperor letting the slave and maid earn a good reputation, and the slave and maid will never give up!"

"Okay, I appreciate your attitude, at least it's much more reliable than those women chirping Wenchen, I'll give you a secret decree, you can do it. By the way, those old fritters in Nanjing, you can hold it. ”

"As long as there is your will, please rest assured."

"Good! But I'm ugly in front of you, if you are denounced and fill your pockets, I just want to protect you from being afraid and can't keep it, then again, as long as you are sincere, I will not let others slander you, I will give you a good death, this is a private word between our monarchs and ministers, and it is also my promise to you. ”

Wang Chengen was flattered and said: "The emperor is serious, the slave and maid are the ones who have died with you once, the life of the slave and maid is yours, and you can only live comfortably." ”

"Okay, if only you understood." Through contact with Wang Chengen, Gao Yiming found that this person was a talent, talented, loyal, and always satisfied with his work.
