Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 117 Year name?

Now that Zhu Jinsong has become the No. 20 emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention other places, the two territories in Shandong and Henan that belonged to the Meng Lianggu rebel group must not continue to use money to deaf for 50 years.

The year name was first created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The first year name promulgated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was "Yuanfeng". The number of reigns ranges from one to more than a dozen. For example, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty had fourteen reign titles, and most emperors of the Ming Dynasty had one reign title per person.

Now that Zhu Jinsong is here, naturally he should choose a better-sounding year name. After all, the year name is not taken casually, and basically has its beautiful meaning in it.

Like Yongle, its meaning has the meaning of "the country is eternal, and the people are happy", and the year name of Zhengde has the meaning of "self-righteousness, and those who are in the top position correct themselves to govern the people".

Of course, there is not only a good side to things like the year number, but the other side is very troublesome.

For example, Yongle has the same meaning as "Changle". In the Tang Dynasty, Li Youliang, the king of Changle, was accused of usurping the throne by his uncle and was cast aside by later generations. Therefore, the person who planned to give Zhu Di the title of "Yongle" may not be There is no meaning of mocking Uncle Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne.

As for the sand sculpture netizens of later generations, it is even more joyful to interpret it. Some people even think that the year name is taken according to the principle of making up for what is missing.

For example, the title of Zhengde, many people understand that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty felt that Zhu Houzhao's virtues were not upright, so they made him "Zhengde".

In fact, the reign titles that are really lacking and making up for something do exist, but those reign titles are basically used by me in the Qing Dynasty. For example, Puyi once used a "Kant" reign title, which has nothing to do with Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there are also emperor Xiaoming Emperor Yuanxu of the Northern Wei Dynasty named Shengui and Emperor Jingdi Yuwenchan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty named Elephant. These year names were indeed no problem at the time, but if they are released to future generations, they will be a herd of mythical beasts. Well.

There are other things like "Bao Da", "Long live the sky", "God-given gifts for the National Day", etc., I won't list them one by one.

In short, taking the year name is not as simple as the sand sculpture netizens imagined. Generally, what is going on with the emperor must be considered.

For example, they want to prove that the emperor is ordered by heaven and the dynasty is orthodox. For example, they hope that under the emperor’s rule, the country will be permanent and prosperous. For example, it means the beginning of a new dynasty and the renewal of Vientiane.

A situation like Zhu Jinsong is very troublesome.

Ordered by heaven, the orthodox dynasty can be next to each other. After all, he inherited the imperial lineage of the Ming Dynasty. It has been dead for more than 100 years, so it’s okay to use words like ji, kai, chu, and shi, but Zhu Jinsong’s literary and martial arts, character and morality are also there, and it’s okay to use words like long, de, wu, and chang. nothing wrong.

Therefore, in the face of reign titles such as "Chengming", "Xingming", "Yuanshi", "Kaihuang", "Shiyuan", "Yongchu", "Zhide", and "Guangde", Zhu Jinsong, the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, also had a headache.

What makes Zhu Jinsong even more aggrieved is that the title of Zhongxing was used by Qi and Emperor Xiao Baorong of the Southern Dynasty, and Yuen Long, the abolished Emperor of Wei Dynasty.

You can't just call it "Hong Xing" right?From now on, going out to fight with people is called filming, and negotiating with people is called talking about numbers, and then you will say that Tsim Sha Tsui is my cover?

In a fit of rage, Zhu Jinsong simply gave up the idea of ​​choosing a year name, and just turned the table and stopped playing—since there is no good-sounding year name for me to use, then I simply abolish the year name, and everyone will have nothing in the future Play.

Anyway, the year name is originally a name used to record the year. The most important function is to let the common people know which one is sitting on the dragon chair. Delay his posthumous title of "Emperor Xiaowen".

In order to facilitate the chronology of Zizishushu in the future, and to facilitate globalization, Zhu Jinsong directly chose the method of the Yellow Emperor's chronology, that is, the year recorded in the history books as the first year of "Kaiyuan" was the year when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne as emperor.

According to the AD calendar method, according to the calculation, the first year of Xuanyuan is 2697 BC, so the 50 years of Qian Deaf is converted into the era of the Yellow Emperor, which should be 1785 plus 2697 years, which is 82 years of "Kaiyuan" 4482 years, that is Kaiyuan [-].

As for whether it would offend the Yellow Emperor and his elders, Zhu Jinsong felt that there was no possibility at all-whose ancestors would despise their own descendants?No matter how angry the old man Huangdi is, it won't be a thunderbolt, right?

Of course, the reason why he chose the way of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, in fact, apart from Zhu Jinsong's failure to find a favorite year name, there is another deeper reason.

inherited.

As long as the great Ming emperor Zhu Zhongyu recognized the Yellow Emperor's chronology, then the Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties after the Yellow Emperor would become iron history.

It also saves that there are always foreign people who are forced to say nonsense such as the non-existence of the Xia Dynasty.

As for the future contact with international friends, whether the international friends are willing to admit the existence of the Yellow Emperor era and the Xia Dynasty, and whether it will cause inconvenience to the international friends, is completely out of Emperor Zhu's consideration.

A street from east to west, north to south, ask who is the father.

If the father wants to use the Yellow Emperor to record the year, who cares about the opinions of those sons and grandchildren?

If you want to admit it, you have to admit it, if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit it.

However, it is not so easy to use the Yellow Emperor to record the year. First of all, the time when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne is not easy to determine. You can’t say that the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne 4482 years ago. We big guys have to recognize it. Because there are too many things involved in the chronology, you have to study it carefully.

We Daming are not those barbarians, so we can't do such lowly things as falsifying history.

Fortunately, Zeng Cheng had been the magistrate of Tai'an Prefecture for several years. After Zhu Zhongyi, the freshly released No. 20 emperor of Ming Dynasty, said that he would use the Yellow Emperor's calendar, Zeng Cheng immediately led people to research various classics, which proved that Zhu Zhongyu, the emperor, said yes.

That's right, the old man Huangdi ascended the throne before 480, so now I am in the 410th year of Ming Dynasty, which is the 480 year of Huangdi.

Then, Zhu Zhongyu uploaded it to the world in Meng Lianggu's newspaper.

The reason why the name Zhu Zhongyu was used was not only to show the orthodox identity of the Ming Dynasty, but also because the name Zhu Jinsong signed a peace treaty with the Qing Dynasty.

It was Zhu Jinsong who signed the peace treaty with you, and it was Zhu Zhongyi who sent troops to attack you, understand?
Emperor Zhu's proclamation is very simple, so simple that anyone who can read can understand it.

"Expel the Tartars, restore China, establish guidelines and rules, relieve the people, equalize the land and exempt taxes, and the world is one family"

Emperor Zhu said that those who are willing to agree with the 24-character program in the call to action and who are willing to surrender can directly send someone to contact Meng Lianggu, and they will be dealt with lightly at that time. As for those who do not agree with the 24-character program, it doesn’t matter. Hit them one by one until you agree.

Then, all the big and small rebels in the world laughed out of anger, and even laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

There are eighty if not one hundred rebels in this world, and there are seventy if not eighty rebels who claim to be the fifth grandson of Emperor Chongzhen. Why do you, Zhu Jinsong, think you are the real fifth grandson of Emperor Chongzhen?
Just because your name is Zhu Zhongruo?
My name is Zhu Zhongzhi/Zhu Zhongji!

Besides, the world is in such a mess now, you Zhu Jinsong will definitely be able to set the Central Plains?

I don't know who will kill the deer!
Of course, laughing and laughing, none of the anti-thieves dared to really despise Zhu Jinsong, the famous anti-thief leader, because of this.

Whether it's Zhu Zhongzhi, Zhu Zhongji, or other anti-thief leaders in the world, these people know in their hearts that Zhu Jinsong, a famous anti-thief leader, was the first to raise the flag of anti-thief, and now occupies the territory The largest, the largest number of firearms and the most sophisticated under his command, and the best soldiers and horses under his command. Now Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader of Tianzi, suddenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he said that he wanted to "clear the roots and unify the world". At the critical moment, Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader of the Tianzi brand, was treated as a joke, and he probably would become a joke in the end.

Zhu Zhongzhi immediately summoned all the ministers under his command: "Zhu Jinsong and Zhu Ni from Shandong have now changed their names, and they consider themselves the fifth grandson of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's ridiculous, why didn't I know there was such a brother?"

First he made a joke to ease the atmosphere in the hall, and then Zhu Zhongzhi continued: "However, my brother is still very strong, and now he has played the banner of rectifying the original, probably planning to use troops abroad."

"It would be better if my brother led the troops north to Zhili or south to Jiangsu. If my brother led the troops to attack our Shanxi, I wonder if the gentlemen have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Listening to the words "my brother" in almost every sentence of his own emperor, the atmosphere in the hall is not as solemn as before.

This is often the case, as long as the backbone at the top is not chaotic or dead, the people below can have confidence. If the backbone at the top has no idea, the horse boys below will be in a mess.

The most obvious example is Qian Deaf Old Dog and Zhu Zhongtao who occupied Henan before.

The old dog Qian Deaf committed suicide by himself, while Zhu Zhongtao, who occupied Henan, became confused when he heard Zhu Jinsong attacked Henan. This caused the whole Henan to be unable to resist for a long time.

Now Zhu Zhongzhi, the Shanxi version of the Daming Emperor, calmly summoned the monarchs and ministers, and discussed with them with a smile how to deal with Zhu Zhongyi's attack, which made the Shanxi version of Daming's ministers feel more at ease.

It's just peace of mind, for Zhu Zhongyu, the anti-thief leader of Tianzi, no one in the entire Shanxi version of the Ming court has a headache-the family has to defend against the attacks of the Tartars, but Zhu Zhongyu can fight consecutively, forcing the Tartars The gap between actively ceding land and paying compensation is not small.

It's just that before the emperor of the Shanxi version of the Ming Dynasty discussed a countermeasure with the ministers, they received another news that made them feel so headache that they wanted to die.

Another group of rebels entrenched in Yan'an Mansion began to respond to Shandong's bandit leader Zhu Zhongyi.

There are two bandit leaders entrenched in Yan'an Mansion, one is Zhu Sanshun and the other is Liu Erniu.

Just after Zhu Jinsong, the bandit leader in Shandong, played the banner of Zhu Zhongyu, he had already occupied the entire Yan'an Mansion, and Zhu Sanshun, who was expanding to the surroundings bit by bit, also played the banner of Zhu Zhongyu, claiming that he was the younger brother of the Shandong bandit leader Zhu Zhongyu. The rebels in Yan'an Prefecture accepted the leadership of the Shandong rebels.

What do you say this shit is called?
To the east is Shandong under the command of the Shandong rebel Zhu Zhongyi, and to the south is Henan under the command of the Shandong rebel Zhu Zhongyu. I originally thought that the west and the north could be the two last retreats, but now it seems that the Yan'an Mansion on the west is where the retreat is. Also a dead end!
Compared with the pain and entanglement of the whole court in the Shanxi version of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Deaf and the old dog, the Locust Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, were mad with anger.

Although Qian Deaf's head is not very bright, but for the shameless behavior of Zhu Jinsong, a traitor who accepted the peace and money on the front foot, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and even shouted the slogan of expelling the Tartars, how much the old dog Qian Deaf can see understand some.

"How dare he deceive me!"

Emperor Qian Deaf, who was almost pissed off, beat things and cursed angrily: "First sign a peace treaty with Daqing in the name of Zhu Jinsong, and then ascend the throne and proclaim emperor in the name of Zhu Zhongyu. He wants to What are you doing! He is taking me for a fool!"

While Heshen and Zhongtang muttered in their hearts that you are a fool, such rebellious words, they bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Long live Lord, calm down, according to the slaves, it is not necessarily impossible for Zhu Jinsong and Zhu Ni to play this banner." It's a bad thing."

Seeing Qian Deaf's old dog glance at him, He Shen and Zhongtang hurriedly explained: "I read from the information that the rebels under Zhu Ni did not gather in the direction of Zhili, but were heading towards Shanxi and Jiangsu. Gather in direction."

"This means that Zhu Ni from Shandong is planning to get rid of the two Zhu Ni from Shanxi and Jiangsu."

"Now that Zhu Ni in Shandong is in a hurry to proclaim himself emperor, I'm afraid that many systems under him have not yet been perfected."

"In this situation, whether to use troops or divide them into two fronts, how can Shandong Zhu Ni be invincible?"

"So, in the opinion of this slave, it's better for Lord Long Live to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let Zhu Ni from Shandong continue to fight with Zhu Ni from Shanxi and Jiangsu."

It's just that the old dog who is deaf and deaf can't help being a little tempted.

Shandong Zhu Ni is now fighting on two fronts, if one of them fails, then wouldn't we, the Qing Dynasty, have an opportunity to take advantage of it?
After thinking for a while, Old Dog Qian Deaf said, "If I, Taqing, take out some matchlock guns and flintlock guns to Zhu Ni in Shanxi, I don't know..."

He Shen and Zhongtang were taken aback immediately when Qian Deaf old dog said this.
