Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 308
The Qing army knocked on the pass, and the capital was under martial law.

Zhu Youjian ordered Li Guofu to defend Zijing Pass, Xu Jinzhong to defend Daoma Pass, Zhang Yuanheng to defend Longquan Pass, and Cui Liangyong to defend Gu Pass while mobilizing Cao Wenzhao and Wang Pu for reinforcements.

Zhu Youjian responded in a timely manner, but he obviously underestimated the attack speed of the Qing army, overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army stationed in Changping, and even ignored the distance from Beijing to Zhengzhou, Henan.

It was only three hundred miles from Dushikou to Changping, and when Zhu Youjian received the urgent six hundred miles, the Qing army had already begun to attack and advance in the direction of Changping.However, Zhengzhou is nearly [-] miles away from Changping. Before the messenger could reach Zhengzhou, Henan, the Qing army had already reached Changping.

Therefore, when Cao Wenzhao received the transfer order, Changping had already been captured by the left-road Qing army who entered Daming from Dushikou. Chao Pichang, the commander in chief of Changping, surrendered. kill.

At that time, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War who volunteered to go to Changping to oversee the army, and Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, were afraid to fight. Instead, they followed the advice of their subordinates and led their troops to guard Wuchong'an. Take poison and commit suicide.

After the Qing army captured Changping, they took advantage of the momentum and went south to besiege Shunyi. The magistrate of Shunyi, Shangguan Jin, and the guerrilla rulers all commanded Su Shiyu and others to resist the city and defend it to the death.However, they were outnumbered, and finally the city fell, and Shangguan Jin died fighting with Zhiguoqi, Su Shiyu and others.

Then the Qing army captured Baodi, Dingxing, Ansu, Dacheng, Xiongxian, Anzhou and other Jinzhou counties, forming a siege of Beijing.

Seeing that the capital was in danger, Zhu Youjian urgently ordered all provinces to raise troops to serve the king.

Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty in Nanyang, Henan, heard of the martial law in the capital, and led his troops to serve the king. When they arrived in Kaifeng, officials at all levels in Henan were afraid that they would be convicted together with the king of Tang.

King Zhou knew that the matter was of great importance, so he found Tang Wang Haosheng to persuade him, and Zhu Yujian stopped.

But at this time, the news of Tang Wang's rebellion had spread to the capital. Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard that, and hurriedly ordered someone to issue an edict to let Zhu Yujian return to Nanyang immediately.

……

The news of Huang Taiji changing the country name spread to Daming, and Pingyang Mansion naturally got the news as well.

Li Jing knew about this news a long time ago, and was not shocked by it.

Without it, in the past two years, Ma Wu's intelligence department has focused on Houjin. Li Jing will receive news of any major incidents in Houjin in the shortest possible time.

In fact, when Huang Taiji changed the Wenguan to the Inner Three Courtyards, Li Jing expected that Huang Taiji would establish a state, because the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty was originally facilitated by Li Jing, and the cause was the destruction of the imperial mausoleum in Fengyang.

For a dynasty, the mausoleum of the emperor's ancestors represents the luck of the royal family, that is, the dragon veins.If the dragon veins are destroyed, it means that the dynasty is exhausted.

Even if you don't believe in dragon veins, as an emperor, you can't even keep your ancestor's mausoleum, so what else can you keep?
Therefore, the destruction of the imperial mausoleum of the old Zhu family in Fengyang was not simply a military defeat of Ming Dynasty, but also contained many political aspects. It can be said to be a political incident. can be redeemed.

Such a major political incident in Ming Dynasty was known all over the world, and it is impossible for Huang Taiji not to know about it.

The defeat in the Datong battle back then caused a great loss to Huang Taiji's prestige, but there was not even a scapegoat to be found in that battle, so Huang Taiji could only bear that mistake by himself.

Afterwards, Datong attacked everywhere, constantly attacking the Mongolian tribes outside the mouth (north of Zhangjiakou) who had just defected to Houjin, causing panic among the Mongolian tribes.

At this time, Huang Taiji had to make a big move in order to restore Mongolia's confidence in the Kingdom of Jin and his gradually lost prestige.

Just at this time, the imperial mausoleum of Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

Huang Taiji keenly felt that this was an opportunity, and if he seized this opportunity, he would be able to fight against Daming in the future, and at the same time, he could also change his current unfavorable situation.

The big move that Huang Taiji made was to change the Yuan and build the country, and change the former King Khan to be the emperor.

The meanings of these two titles Khan and Emperor are completely different. Although the Kingdom of Jin considers itself an independent country and has fought against Ming Dynasty all the year round, in the eyes of the outside world, Kingdom of Jin is still under the rule of Ming Dynasty, that is, It is said that King Khan of the Kingdom of Jin is still a courtier of the Ming Emperor, and the political status of the two is far apart.

But King Khan of the Kingdom of Jin became the emperor, telling the outside world that they officially got rid of Daming and started to work alone, and at least they will be on an equal footing with Daming in the future.

But being an emperor is not so easy. If you want foreign countries to recognize you, you have to come up with something.If you want to be an emperor, you must first have government agencies at all levels capable of exercising power. Even if it doesn't meet the standards of Ming Dynasty, it can't be too far behind.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Huang Taiji changed the civil servants to the inner three courtyards, and first pulled up the administrative framework.

Once the framework is in place, the details will be supplemented. When everything is ready, the reform and founding of the country will be a matter of course.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Taiji even launched an attack on Daming when Daming was unable to look north. He could not only grab something to improve his life, but also establish his own prestige.

It can be said that Huang Taiji dared to make this series of actions because the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was destroyed, which made Huang Taiji finally see clearly the weak nature of Daming.

The destruction of the imperial tomb was precisely caused by Li Jing. If Li Jing hadn't ordered Cao Wenzhao to keep Gao Yingxiang, then Cao Wenzhao would have attacked Zhang Xianzhong and other ministries in advance, so Fengyang imperial tomb would not have been destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong and others. If it is destroyed, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to change Yuan Jianguo so quickly.

Li Jing did this out of strategic considerations.

After all, Li Jing was not a rebel, so he had to find an excuse to launch a mutiny, and the Jin invasion was undoubtedly the best excuse.

Obviously, Cao Wenzhao also understood this point. He had already seen that with Zhang Xianzhong's personality, after entering Fengyang, the imperial tomb would definitely be destroyed.That's why he told Li Dingguo that Zhang Xianzhong would probably do Li Jing a big favor.

This busyness is a series of consequences after the imperial mausoleum was destroyed.

Sure enough, Cao Wenzhao's words came true. After the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum was destroyed, Houjin founded the country, and then launched an attack on Daming.

……

Yuan Mansion, Jiangxian County, Pingyang Prefecture.

Li Jing and Yuan Keli sat silently in the middle of the gazebo in the courtyard, while behind them, Xiao Wu and Chen Yuanyuan gently waved cattail fans to fan them.

After a long time, Li Jing suddenly turned around and smiled at Xiao Wu: "Take a rest, don't get heat rash, Xing Er won't let you go to bed tonight."

Xiao Wu's face flushed when he heard the words, he really didn't expect Li Jing to make such a joke with him.

Patting Li Jing's hand lightly, Yuan Keli sighed lightly and said, "Jimin, are you a little nervous?"

Li Jing nodded silently when he heard this, and said after a while: "How can you not be nervous! Although all the departments have been arranged, there are too many variables at the moment. If you are not careful, you may fall short."

Yuan Keli nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Jimin, it took you ten years of hard work to create the current situation, and you must not back down when things come to an end!"

Li Jing shook his head, smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, the students will never back down, they are just thinking about what else needs to be prepared, this time it is necessary to complete all their efforts, and there must be no omissions."

It was only then that Xiao Wu realized that Li Jing had just joked with him, and it turned out that he wanted to relieve the tension in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Marshal, why don't you ask Miss Chen to sing you a tune?"

Li Jing waved his hand, looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said, "Go down and rest, there is no need to wait here, I have something to say to my husband."

"Yes! Master!" Chen Yuanyuan said with a blessing.

After Chen Yuanyuan left, Li Jing looked at Yuan Keli with a helpless wry smile and said, "It seems that I can't get rid of the title of Master, and now even Yuanyuan calls me Master."

Yuan Keli stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yingying and Huiyu must have taught this. It's just that these two girls have no idea why they arranged for this little girl, Yuanyuan, to serve me."

Li Jing smiled and said: "I think it's because the two of them listened to Yuanyuan's good tunes, and let Yuanyuan sing for you in your spare time to relieve your boredom!"

Yuan Keli shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it may not be the case, these two girls are acting like ghosts, there must be some weirdness in it. Sigh! I am an old teacher, and now I can't guess what these two girls are thinking."

Gently patted the back of Yuan Keli's hand, Li Jing said with a smile: "No matter how much the two of them think about it, it's to honor you, so don't worry about it.

"I'm afraid it may not be possible this time, the two of them must have other thoughts." Yuan Keli shook his head again and again.

Li Jingwen said with a smile: "You always feel that something is wrong, and the students will help you analyze it."

"Forget it, you came here to find some peace, so don't worry about it." Yuan Keli waved his hands.

"After sitting for so long, I have calmed down, sir, there is no need to worry." Li Jing said with a smile.

Yuan Keli waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about this, tell me about the current situation, and let me think about it for you, if there are any omissions."

Li Jing shook his head: "There should be no omissions. I am mainly worried about variables."

Sighing lightly, Li Jing said: "The so-called man is not as good as the sky. At first I asked Cao Wenzhao to keep Gao Yingxiang, but Gao Yingxiang was killed by Sun Chuanting. This Sun Chuanting was unknown before. Where did he come from?" I don’t even know who came out, but I was suddenly appointed governor of Shaanxi, and then Gao Yingxiang was wiped out, do you think this is a variable?”

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "There is also Lu Xiangsheng, who used to be the censor of the capital of Youqian. He fought several victories against the bandits and was promoted to the censor of the capital of the right. Then Zhu Youjian actually asked him to be the prime minister of the military affairs of the seven provinces. You Does this count as a variable?"

Yuan Keli nodded silently.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were suddenly promoted by Zhu Youjian, and they would definitely do their best to Zhu Youjian.

If these two were ordinary civil servants, it would be fine, but these two had heavy troops in their hands. Once Li Jing launched a mutiny, these two would definitely react violently.

If the two of them recklessly sent their troops northward to meet Ji Shijun in battle, it would definitely disrupt Li Jing's deployment.
