Chapter 404: The Preliminary Concept of Moving the Capital

"Dashuai!"

Song Xiance, who hadn't seen Cheng Shijie for many years, respectfully knelt in front of Cheng Shijie: "Song Xiance under the door to meet the handsome!" ”

"Get up!"

Cheng Shijie stepped forward and patted Song Xiance on the shoulder: "In the past few years, you have done a good job. Great work! ”

"It is our duty to share the worries of the Lord!"

Song Xiance introduced the generals to Cheng Shijie, first of all, his nephew Jiang Wuxi, followed by the second Yuan, that is, Yuan Shizhong, Huaxian County, Henan.

As for Yuan Zongdi, he was originally Li Zicheng's general, because during the capture of Defu, Li Zicheng suffered heavy losses, Liu Zongmin was even more heavily stabbed, and Yuan Zongdi's command unintentionally captured a large family Tian girl, this Tian family has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks handsome.

Yuan Zongdi liked it very much, after Liu Zongmin saw Tian, he asked Yuan Zongdi, although Yuan Zongdi was younger than Liu Zongmin, under Li Zicheng's subordinates, his status was not lower than Liu Zongmin, because of Tian's beauty, Liu Zongmin took advantage of Yuan Shizhong's absence, and wanted to forcibly plunder Tian, Yuan Zongdi got the news back, and the two sides had a fight, Yuan Zongdi took advantage of Liu Zongmin's unpreparedness and slashed Liu Zongmin.

But the problem is that Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin have a closer relationship, and besides, Yuan Zongdi did not marry the Tian family, and he didn't even have time to take the Tian family as a concubine, Li Zicheng favored Liu Zongmin when dealing with the contradiction between Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi, and asked Yuan Zongdi to apologize to Liu Zongmin.

Yuan Zongdi was very angry, but there was no way, but he had to apologize to Liu Zongmin, and later Song Xiance started an incident, and then it developed into more than 100,000 people, and Yuan Zongdi took the people to take refuge in Song Xiance.

In addition to the second Yuan, Song Xiance also has two songs, of course, the second Song really has nothing to do with Song Xiance, one of which is Song Zuo, the former Dongchangwei commanded the affairs, and the other Song is Song Yan, the former Xuzhou Zhizhou. It is said that this Song Yan is from a civilian background, but he, like Lu Xiangsheng, likes military affairs. However, Song Yan is not as brave as Lu Xiangsheng.

Song Yan became the former chief of staff of the Dashun Army and the commander of the 18th Brigade, second only to Song Xiance, and even higher than his nephew Jiang Wuxi, of course, including Cheng Shi, who was hidden in the Dashun Army, that is, Cheng Shijie's righteous son.

In addition to the second Yuan and the second Song, Song Xiance also has the thirteenth Taibao Fang Boyu, Cui Jingang, Meng Jiadong, Pang Zhen, etc., and there are also known as the sixteen flying generals and the eighteen fierce.

To recover Beijing, it is said that Cheng Shijie should enter Beijing City immediately after confirming that Beijing is safe, and he can even sit on the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace impatiently.

However, the problem is that Cheng Shijie did not enter Beijing immediately, but held a grand military parade outside the city, and now there are nine brigades of the Ning Navy that have arrived around Beijing, namely the Eighth Brigade, the Guards Brigade, the Seventh Brigade, the Ninth Brigade, the Thirteenth Brigade, the Fourteenth, the Fifteenth, the Sixteenth, and the Eighteenth Brigade.

On the school field outside the Yongding Gate, the soldiers of the Ning Navy of the 56th Regiment of the Nine Brigades formed a huge phalanx, with swords and guns like a forest, the iron armor shining with cold light, and the armor soldiers were majestic and murderous.

In the terrifying sound of "Wansheng", Cheng Shijie walked past one square array after another, and the cavalry of the Ning Navy carried strong bows, sabers and spears in their hands, and controlled the horses with their legs. The only heavily armored cavalry battalion horses are wearing heavy armor, only two eye sockets are exposed on the top and bottom of the body, and the knight is holding a horse lance three feet long in one hand, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifying it will be when these four-legged mecha monsters are launched!

Sixteen infantry regiments, infantry soldiers holding rifles, bullet boxes pinned to their bodies, especially bayonets, the cold light flashed, four artillery regiments and sixteen artillery battalions more than 200 artillery pieces of various types, Cheng Shijie used this way to show off his muscles to the people of Gyeonggi.

What's more critical is that the thirteenth to eighteenth brigades of the Ning Navy, they are the only six cold weapon brigades in the Ning Navy, and the crossbow soldiers at the front of the team are the crossbowmen, different from those traffic stars in film and television dramas, these crossbowmen, everyone is tall and strong, there is no way, the bow and crossbow are the most physically demanding and arm strength of the soldiers, thin soldiers like chickens, but they can't play with bows and crossbows, the bow arms are as thick as children's arms, and the sharp arrows in the quiver are thick and long, and they are shot by such heavy arrows, even if it is a cow, It is also the share of immediate death from the ground.

Behind the archers are the hoplites of the Ning Navy, they are not numerous, but they are wearing armor, they look like moving iron towers, and the Mo knife or giant master in their hands is also bloodstained, and they don't know how many strong enemies and beasts they have slashed, which is terrifying.

Behind them were the pikemen, each with their armor polished and shiny, and the appearance of the army was appalling.

"The handsome is mighty, the handsome is victorious, the handsome is victorious......"

As Cheng Shijie walked in front of various armies and gave a speech, Cheng Shijie first affirmed the achievements of the soldiers in annihilating Jiannu, praised the courage and tenacity of the soldiers, praised the wit and bravery of the generals, and fully affirmed their contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

This is extremely rare, since Taizu has not had an emperor so emotionally praised the contribution of his army to the country, even Chengzu has not tried, of course, Cheng Shijie did not ascend the throne, in the eyes of the soldiers, Cheng Shijie is their king, their emperor.

The officers and men of the Ning Navy listened carefully to Cheng Shijie's speech, and they all knew that if Cheng Shijie officially ascended the throne, there would be no more close contact with the soldiers like this, and this was the capital to brag about to future generations in the future. If your efforts can be affirmed by the Supreme Commander, what reward is better than this?

After the parade, Cheng Shijie held a huge funeral outside the city, a real funeral, this funeral was first held for the fallen soldiers, different from the previous cremation, that is because the war is urgent, and the matter is urgent, and now there is time, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers are seriously collected.

The identity card of each fallen soldier was collected, and the body was put into the coffin, and as the whole army worked together, there was no shortage of materials, and soon more than 10,000 coffins appeared on the school field outside the Yongding Gate.

In this battle, the losses of the Ning Navy were not light, especially the six main infantry regiments of the 13th Brigade were killed by more than 30 percent, and they simply relied on their flesh and blood to block Jiannu's crazy counterattack.

After the parade, Cheng Shijie prepared a sumptuous meal and wine and meat for the soldiers of the whole army, which was a reward for the victory of the soldiers of the whole army, if it was Emperor Chongzhen, he would not have this money, but Cheng Shijie had money and materials.

The person in charge of organizing the banquet was Sun Zhixi, who was the first prime minister of Cheng Shijie's internal designation.

Cheng Shijie did not have the habit of wasting time, but had been in business for several years, knowing that time is money and efficiency is life.

"Meet the Commander!"

"The whole army set off, the goal is Beijing!"

Cheng Shijie gave the generals of the whole army a combat mission: "Find out all those bastards who eat people and don't do anything, I want to make them regret why they came to this world!" ”

More than 100,000 troops let out a thunderclap-like roar, the war drums sounded, the three armies launched in unison, the flags covered the sun, and they went straight to Beijing.

However, Cheng Shijie looked at Zhou Ning and frowned, revealing a hint of worry.

Cheng Shijie asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" Our army has won a big victory, and you are still not happy? ”

Zhou Ning didn't speak, but Li Xin said: "Although our army's victory is worth hapting, there is always a big worry......

Li Xin pointed to the northern side, his brows tightened more and more.

Cheng Shijie's brows also furrowed: "Are you worried about ......?"

Song Xiance looked at Li Xin and Cheng Shijie, who seemed to be playing dumb riddles, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly understood. Emperor Chongzhen, whom Li Xin and Zhou Ning were worried about.

No matter what, Emperor Chongzhen is the legitimate emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the co-master of the world after all, even if he makes a big mistake, many people will still recognize him.

Song Xiance thought that Cheng Shijie had now killed Ling Ran, it can be said that he had already killed the red eye, and after eliminating the Qing army, he would definitely wield a butcher's knife against the Wenchen Doctor group that colluded with the Qing army, and kill Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Beijing, I don't know how many Wenchen Lady Lady heads will fall to the ground, and blood will flow like a river.

If Cheng Shijie is not to blame for these ministers, officials and gentry who colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, like Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu back then, then Emperor Chongzhen will not have the slightest chance, but once Cheng Shijie kills, then Emperor Chongzhen will definitely gather a large number of officials and generals around him, and Emperor Chongzhen will have the capital to compete with Cheng Shijie.

Li Xin said: "Dashuai, can you ......?"

Without waiting for Li Xin to finish speaking, Cheng Shijie interrupted Li Xin's words and said: "Those bastards, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of male thieves and female prostitutes, are sanctimonious on the surface, but their hearts are darker than anyone else, and they do not hesitate to destroy the entire country for their own selfish interests, such scum, if they are not killed, can they still stay for the New Year?" ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "It's good, but this will force a class into a desperate situation, if they fight back to the death, the energy is also quite amazing, if they take this as orthodoxy again, it will be even more troublesome, and it will form a pattern of confrontation between the north and the south......

Li Xin also wanted to persuade Cheng Shijie again, but Song Xiance gave Li Messenger a look, and seeing that Li Xin didn't understand, he gave Zhou Ning a look, Zhou Ning watched Cheng Shijie walk faster and faster, so he took a few steps behind, and said in a low voice: "Director Song has a way to solve this problem?" ”

Song Xiance lowered his voice and said, "This matter is actually very simple! ”

"How easy is it?"

"Back then, Emperor Taizu Hongwu could kill Han Lin'er, wouldn't we be able to kill ......?"

"No, no!"

Zhou Ning shook his head and said, "This is ...... It's absolutely impossible for the handsome to agree! The handsome man misses the old love too much, and this one does have the grace to support him, and has fully trusted him, if he is bent on protecting him, no one can kill him. ”

Song Xiance said: "There are just remnants of Lu Xiangsheng around him......"

"Director Song, do you know that there are not only the remnants of Lu Xiangsheng around him, but also the Guanning Junzu Dabi Department who defected to the battle, as well as Gao Jie next to the eldest prince, and Chen Guodong, the most troublesome person is actually Chen Guodong, Chen Guodong is by his side, who can move him? Dashuai has long been wary of us making moves in the dark! ”

If Cheng Shijie really wants Emperor Chongzhen to die, it is actually very simple, if he does not send reinforcements to Sanshen Mountain, let alone Jiannu, even if the weather is enough to freeze all the troops of Emperor Chongzhen to death and starve to death.

Song Xiance sighed and said, "That's troublesome!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"Or ...... I'm going to talk to Champion Hou? ”

"No, if you go to talk about it, you probably won't even be able to meet the face of the champion Hou, and besides, the champion Hou will definitely not agree to do this!"

Li Xin said: "I'll talk to Champion Hou!" ”

Li Xin and Zhou Ning, including Song Xiance, were all having a headache for Emperor Chongzhen, but Cheng Shijie had no such concerns, because he was high-spirited and led his army to Beijing City.

Of course, the gates of Beijing were wide open, and the officers and men of the Ning Navy did not pay attention to the gentry officials kneeling on both sides of the road, but held the staff with open fire, arresting people everywhere, screaming, screaming, laughing, and cursing one after another, and people were constantly pulled out of the mansion by the Ning Navy, and even from the green building, some were drunk, some were disheveled, and some were simply bare-bottomed.

At first glance, you can tell that they have been pulled out of the bed of a prostitute, and they have not had time to put on their clothes. These princes, ministers, and merry students have completely lost the chic appearance of chanting the wind and the moon and directing the country, and they are as embarrassed as they are.

Someone scolded Ning Navy soldiers angrily: "You are such a lowly martial artist, you dare to insult us and other scholars, the students of the world will never let you go, and they will never let you go......"

In response to these red-eyed and crazy screams, it was a punch and kick. In the Ming Dynasty, the literati regarded the martial arts as enemies, and the generals regarded the literati as enemies, and the relationship between the two sides could not be worse, all relying on the pattern of literature and martial arts for hundreds of years to barely press, so nothing happened, and now the Ming Dynasty has let these bastards destroy it single-handedly, and the pattern of using literature to control martial arts no longer exists, what else can those generals be polite to these literati?

Revenge for injustice, revenge for revenge, playing without injustice and revenge, an old fist beat these guys with fine skin and tender flesh to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they screamed again and again! When raiding the house and arresting people, due to the non-cooperation of the literati, they beat and scolded the soldiers of the Ning Navy and threw things.

Seeing the heads of their former suave colleagues fall to the ground, these poor scholars and scholars finally understand that when all order is destroyed, there will be no more nobles and nobles, and whoever has the big fist will be justified! Unfortunately, they can't compare to these martial artists who were born in a fight anyway, so they have no reason at all, only to be beaten!

The worst thing is that the order that maintained the noble position of the scholar class was destroyed by the scholars themselves. Therefore, many Wenchen were dragged out like a dog by the Ning Navy soldiers, and they looked up to the sky and sighed: "Regret, regret!" ”

Cheng Shijie stood outside the Yongding Gate and did not enter Beijing.

Zhou Ning said: "Dashuai, why don't you enter Beijing?" ”

"What's there to do in Beijing? It's just a dead land! ”

Cheng Shijie does not have a good opinion of Beijing, in fact, if he can decide the fate of a country, he will choose to move the capital as soon as possible.

The capital of a country, most of them belong to the consumption city, they do not have too strong hematopoietic ability, on the contrary, they have to suck blood from the surrounding areas, the capital of Beijing for more than 200 years, Beijing is becoming more and more prosperous, but the surrounding states and counties of Beijing are getting poorer and poorer, the people's lives are becoming more and more sad, and the Son of Heaven does not know how many tragic things have happened when his wife is separated.

Cheng Shijie felt that this was inappropriate, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty should bring development opportunities to the surrounding states and counties, rather than sucking their blood dry.

What's more, the biggest problem in Beijing is the lack of water, although the population of Jinzhou has now surpassed Beijing, two or three million people, more than one-tenth of the people of Liaodong live in Jinzhou, but Jinzhou is not only getting better and better, but also driving the economic development of the surrounding areas.

This is an advantage that Beijing cannot have, and that is water.

Gyeonggi has a population of tens of millions, not to mention farming, and even the problem of drinking water cannot be solved, on the contrary, Jinzhou does not have this problem, Cheng Shijie has been thinking about whether to move the capital to Jinzhou.

Relatively speaking, the geographical location of Jinzhou is similar to that of Beijing, as long as it has a strong navy and strong maritime transportation capacity, the advantages of coastal cities over Beijing are too obvious, although Tianjin has the advantage of shipping, but water resources are too scarce.

"Dashuai, national affairs are important, let's be demoted to Beijing City first, I'm afraid of changes!" (End of chapter)
