The Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the capital was shocked.
In the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Houcong was sitting on the dragon chair, while Zhu Youjian was sitting on a temporary chair aside. It seemed that the two saints were juxtaposed, but no matter which minister they were, at a glance, they would think that Zhu Houcong was the leader.
The Jinluan Palace was bustling with people. Although some of the previous capital officials were cut off by Zhu Youjian, and most of the others were imprisoned, there were quite a few ministers from all over the country who came to 'rescue' them, so this empty palace was once again The Jinluan Palace is filled to the brim.
The ministers present all looked heavy-faced, especially the generals, who looked almost astonished.
The generals of the Chongzhen Dynasty had a low winning rate against the Manchus. Almost all the generals in the Jinluan Palace had been to Songjin, Guanning and the Manchus for one or two fights, so they were basically... everyone was afraid of the Manchus. disease'.
"Your Majesty, Jiannu is powerful! Although our army has tens of thousands of troops, the soldiers that Jiannu brought into the pass are also hundreds of thousands. Field battles are extremely disadvantageous to our army. Now Wu Ni from Shanhaiguan has surrendered to the traitors. If you dare, please move the capital to Nanjing..."
The new Minister of War, Feng Yuanyang, came up to the meeting with a serious look on his face.
Feng Shangshu talked for a long time, and the core idea is actually...
The Eight Banners are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible if they are full of ten thousand!
Now that Shanhaiguan is gone, let's escape quickly. As for Northern Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, etc., let Jiannu and Li Chuang fight for it. If we "cross south in clothes", we will not lose the national destiny of the Eastern Jin and Southern Song Dynasties. ah!
As for Feng Yuanyang's proposal, many soldiers from the Chongzhen Dynasty who came to 'rescue' agreed.
"I second the proposal!"
"The general seconded the proposal!"
"..."
The voices of courtiers rang out from the Jinluan Hall, and the generals such as Xu Da, Guo Xun, Lu Bing, Yu Dayou and Hao Yaoqi who were at the forefront all had sneer expressions on their faces.
To the famous generals of the Hongwu and Jiajing dynasties, what was being a slave? Li Chuang, who almost ruined the Ming Dynasty, looked aggressive, but he was actually vulnerable.
For generals such as Hao Yaoqi who surrendered, they did not know enough about Jiannu, but they did not have any 'manchuphobia'.
The bustling sounds in the Jinluan Palace made the highest center of power in the Ming Dynasty look like a vegetable market.
Zhu Youjian was well-dressed. Although he was sitting upright, he looked at Zhu Houcong aside and asked humbly: "Grandpa Gao, what should we do?"
Zhu Houcong's eyes were like torches and his eyes were cold. He looked at the officials in the hall who advocated moving south, snorted coldly, and suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Where are Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and his son?"
A bright and powerful voice appeared in the entire Jinluan Palace. In an instant, the officials and soldiers present who were speaking subconsciously stopped talking and fell silent instantly.
Zhu Houcong's voice was very calm, but when it fell on everyone's ears, it was like the sky exploding in the sky, instantly making them quiet, and they couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly at Zhu Houcong.
I, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, really have the style of Emperor Mu Mu!
Qian Qianyi, the head of the civil service, exclaimed in his heart. The red official robe weighed down his thin body quite a bit.
Although in history, Qian Qianyi was famous for his "itchy scalp and water that was too cold" and was notorious for thousands of years, but in his heart, Qian Qianyi was still willing to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.
For no other reason, he was already a very popular minister in the Ming Dynasty, so what else could he do in the Qing Dynasty?
The reason for surrender was for no other reason than fear of death. Later, he also secretly funded anti-Qing martyrs, but none of this could reverse his image of being both responsible and independent, greedy for life and afraid of death.
But at present, Qian Qianyi has no intention of surrendering at all.
Shi Ke who was on the side was very happy.
Although the Holy Emperor is on the throne, in the past ten years, the Emperor has been deceived by traitors and sycophants. Fortunately, he is protected by the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, this ancestor of the Ming Dynasty seems to be very fierce, and he is not as lazy as in the history books!
Why do you say you were deceived by a traitor? Because Shi Kefa has always been excluded from Beijing's decision-making circles, even if Chongzhen changed countless cabinet members one after another, it would not be his turn.
Isn't this evidence that the emperor was deceived by traitors? !
In the Ming Dynasty, there were a total of four emperors who succeeded to the throne as vassal kings.
They are the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong and the current Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.
They all succeeded to the throne, so why was there such a big gap between the emperors and the emperors?
Shi Kefa couldn't help but sigh, but at this time he also clenched his fists.
The next moment, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly to Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, after Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu learned about Wu Tong's rebellion, they were ashamed of their kindness and have been kneeling outside the Meridian Gate since today. I beg your Majesty to forgive me!”
"I am waiting with the troops in the north of the Yangtze River. I am willing to be the vanguard and build slaves for your majesty. I will give birth to the puppet regents of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon and Wu Ni and Wu Sangui, and offer them as prisoners of the capital!"
Shi Kefa could not be said to be disloyal, but after hearing Shi Kefa's voice, Liu Liangzuo, who had followed Shi Kefa, felt his heart sink and secretly said something bad.
You can die if you want, what does that have to do with me? My younger brother lives with the Manchus. If it’s really not a good idea, I’m considering shaving my head and surrendering.
Liu Liangzuo's scalp was numb, while Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie were also undecided.
They were typical warlords. The 30,000 soldiers in their hands were the foundation for their survival. They did not want to go north with Shi Kefa and send their troops away.
As for Huang Degong, the only one among the four towns in Jiangbei who was loyal to the imperial court and the two important ministers who did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty were glaring with eyes, he had made up his mind to return to Zhenzhou and mobilized all the troops!
After hearing Shi Kefa's loyalty, Zhu Houcong nodded, flicked his dragon robe, and then said: "I ordered Mr. Shi Ge to sit in Shandong as Mr. Ge, governor of all government affairs in Shandong. He can mobilize Shandong's troops and horses at will, and ordered Huang Degong to supervise Shandong. Rong Zheng, the governor of Shandong, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and the soldiers and horses of the three towns must obey the instructions of Shi Ge Lao and Huang Degong to guard the land of Shandong!"
"Jiang Yu, I order you to be the governor of Shanxi and guard Datong. Don't let the slaves take over Shanxi!"
"Shilang Bi and Jianzheng Tang, I order you two to use all the strength of the country to forge more red artillery, and build slaves to conquer the world. It is nothing more than relying on the power of artillery. Today, in our Ming Dynasty, if firearms are far superior to building slaves, then We must win." Zhu Houcong said, "Shilang Bi, I heard that you have been studying the flintlock gun carefully. Although there is a 10/20 chance of jamming, I also need this batch of muskets. I order you to make 10,000 firearms! "
Following Zhu Houcong's instructions, all the generals took orders one after another.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Houcong looked at Xu Da, who was at the head of the military attache, and immediately smiled and said: "Wei Guogong, I still have to trouble you to take us incompetent juniors as generals and governors of all military affairs, and give them to slaves. A head-on attack!"
Xu Da was still neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted Zhu Houhuang sonorously and said: "Your Majesty Jiajing, please rest assured, even if the general is shattered to pieces, he will behead the slave chief for your majesty!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian glanced at Zhu Houcong, understood immediately, and opened his mouth and said: "Announce Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and his son to enter the palace!"
"promise!"
Wang Chengen immediately leaned forward to accept the order and repeated it loudly.
As Wang Chengen retells, in Zhu Houcong's sight, two tiny figures appeared in front of the Jinluan Hall, kowtowing step by step, really scarred and crying like rain.
"The guilty ministers Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu deserve to die. It is unfortunate for our family that such a traitor has appeared. My veteran ministers Wu Xiang and my son Wu Sanfu are willing to behead the traitor Wu Sangui for Your Majesty, so as to spare our family the shame of humiliation!"
