In the next few days, Luo Bingran used various means to remove Gu Changwei and Xu Dahu from the Shenji Camp and replaced them with his confidant general. Unexpectedly, the two men did not resist at all, but honestly handed over the military power in their hands.

Luo Bingran was confused by the actions of the general in the army. Gu Changwei was not familiar with him, but Xu Dahu was too familiar with him. In the past, Xu Dahu was a hundred households in Ma Shiyingbiao camp, and his status was higher than Luo Bingran, who was a thousand households. Now Xu Dahu was bullied so much that he had nothing to do. Could it be that Ma Cheng really couldn't do it?

Luo Bingran found Qian Qianyi with this question and told Qian Qianyi about the incident of the past few days of the army. Qian Qianyi did not expect that Ma Cheng would completely hand over the military power without struggling. Until now, Qian Qianyi completely believed in Ma Cheng.

At this time, from the emperor to the lowest-level citizens in Nanjing, they all believed that Ma Cheng was not a person who was in power. Some scholars even compared Ma Cheng to Guo Ziyi who suppressed the Anshi Rebellion. They just didn't know that there was knowledge in the old Guo Quan. Seeing that he was actually on par with Ma Cheng, they didn't know if he could survive.

In this way, Ma Cheng went from a powerful warlord to a wealthy family, but the task assigned by history to Ma Cheng was not yet completed, so Ma Cheng could withdraw from the historical stage so early.

On July 21, 2018, the second year of Shaowu in the Ming Dynasty, a dusty war horse came to the Jubao Gate in Nanjing. A dirt-covered knight was sitting on a dusty knight. The knight ran and shouted: "Hurry up! Let the road open!"

When the merchants at Jubaomen saw the knight coming, they quickly dodged a road. The ambassador guarding the city quickly moved the horse away and let the knight pass. After the knights left, an old farmer who was waiting to enter the city to sell vegetables sighed and said, "Oh, I don't know where the war has happened again. They fight and kill every day, how can we ordinary people live!"

The voice of the old farmer represents the majority of Nanjing citizens. In the past, Nanjing was far away from the northern war zone, but from the first year of Hongguang, the war far away in the sky finally came to Nanjing citizens. Fortunately, a fight-capable Ma Cheng appeared in Nanjing, which saved Nanjing from repeating the mistakes of Yangzhou's massacre. Now seeing the war onset again, Nanjing citizens are really filled with mixed feelings!

The knight who delivered the letter came to Hongwu Gate and sent it to the Ministry of War first according to the daily process of 800 miles of rushing. However, this matter was too serious, so it could be sent directly to the cabinet.

The knight handed the letter with three chicken feathers to the Jinyiwei of Hongwu Gate. The Jinyiwei did not dare to be negligent and ran to the cabinet in the palace. Today, Qian Qianyi was on duty in the cabinet. After receiving the letter, he opened it and saw that he was so scared that he left his body.

This letter was sent by the prefect of Huzhou. There were only a few words in the letter, but the content was very amazing. On the first day of July, King Lu officially became emperor in Hangzhou.

Since the Qing Dynasty besieged the city in May last year, Nanjing has lost contact with the outside world. Lu Wang, who was far away in Hangzhou, ascended the throne with the support of some intellectuals. At the same time, several prefectures around Hangzhou were surrendered to the Lu Wang regime, such as Huzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, etc. Although the territory is not large, these prefectures are located in the Taihu Economic Circle and are very rich, so Lu Wang's strength is still very good.

In the situation at that time, Lu Wang was not wrong. Nanjing was cut off from news. Hangzhou didn’t know how the emperor was. It was normal to establish another emperor to continue fighting with the Qing Dynasty. After Lu Wang’s reign, it was very encouraging the anti-Qing armed forces around Taihu Lake.

Some anti-Qing guerrillas joined the Lu Wang regime one after another. For a time, Lu Wang concentrated more than 100,000 troops, which was very powerful.

At this time, more than 400,000 Qing army was besieging Nanjing. Some of the knowledgeable generals under Lu Wang believed that they should take advantage of the Qing army's unpreparedness and fight behind. However, the timid and afraid of trouble would dare to do this and strictly order the generals under him not to provoke the Qing army.

When the Qing army was defeated by Ma Cheng, news broke out between Nanjing and Hangzhou. Only then did the emperors on both sides appear to have changed. King Lu thought that Zhu Yousong was still the emperor in Nanjing, but Zhu Lunkui in Nanjing did not expect that King Lu would dare to claim to be the governor.

For a time, two parties began to quarrel. King Lu said that Zhu Lunkui's bloodline was alienated and could not inherit the throne. Zhu Lunkui said that his throne was passed down from Zhu Yousong, and the empress dowager was proved. King Lu said that Empress Dowager Ma Hongning was not Zhu Yousong's empress at all and was not qualified to be the empress dowager. Zhu Lunkui said that you, King Lu, were not qualified. When the Qing army came, you ran away, but now you want to come back to be the emperor, and there is no door!

The two sides fought for several months, and finally Zhu Lunkui made a concession and made King Lu the emperor's uncle. Later, after Zhu Lunkui died, he ascended the throne. This is already the greatest sincerity that Zhu Lunkui could bring out. When the news reached King Lunkui, it was a blow to the point that King Lunkui was older than Zhu Lunkui. It is not certain whether he could survive Zhu Lunkui. If he died in front of Zhu Lunkui, then he would not get any benefits?

At the same time, the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the rule of inheriting the throne was to have a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate leg

Therefore, after receiving the news from Nanjing, Hangzhou flatly rejected Zhu Lunkui's proposal. At the same time, Zhu Chang's subordinates began to persuade Zhu Chang to become the emperor himself and fight against the rebel Zhu Lunkui.

Zhu Chang was a man who had no great ability, but he had a turbulent heart. So under the instigation of officials with different hearts, Zhu Chang ascended the throne on the first day of July.

The fact that Zhu Chang was elected as emperor was extraordinary. Now the Ming regime has two emperors. There is a strange setting in Chinese history. When the world was in chaos and warlords were separatist, it was fine to become king and dominate. Many warlords could do business peacefully. However, as long as one party became emperor, no matter how good the relationship was, they would conquer you, and look like an enemy who would never die.

This setting originated from the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Before the Qin Dynasty, there was no truly unified dynasty in China. The Zhou emperor was only the common ruler of the world and had no control over the princes. After Qin Shihuang was unified, there was also a historical regression, but it was unified again under Liu Bang's powerful means. At this time, the land of China only had unified hardware requirements, but the software did not.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Confucianism was the only one who respected Confucianism, this software began to be officially injected into the Chinese computer. No matter why Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism, the concept of great unification was completely penetrated into the minds of intellectuals. After the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all those who controlled the court became Confucian scholars, and the theory of great unification completely became the consensus of all the people in the world.

In the future, no matter how warlords came from, whether they were Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a poor man or Chen Youliang, as long as they became emperor, they must fulfill their responsibilities as emperors, which is to unify the whole country.

So when King Lu took the banner of emperor, he officially expressed his determination to go to the end with Zhu Lunkui, either Zhu Lunkui died or

Zhu Chang died.

The reason why Zhu Chang finally made up his mind to be emperor was the issue of bloodline. Zhu Chang was the direct descendant of King Zhu Di of Yan. Zhu Lunkui was from Zhou Fan. When it comes to bloodline, he had to talk about Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Chang felt that he had occupied the moral commanding heights. In fact, Zhu Chang's bloodline did bring him benefits. After Zhu Chang became emperor, Jiaxing and Huzhou around Hangzhou Prefecture immediately supported Zhu Chang under the leadership of local gentry and completely cut off relations with Zhu Lunkui in Nanjing.

This 800-limit emergency was sent by the prefect of Huzhou. After writing the letter, the prefect hanged himself, which was regarded as fulfilling his last little loyalty for Zhu Lunkui.

After receiving the letter, Qian Qianyi did not dare to delay and took it to the palace to pay homage to the emperor. Zhu Lunkui was in a good mood these days, and the taste of holding power made him very satisfied. However, the good times did not last long. After receiving Qian Qianyi's message, Zhu Lunkui immediately turned cloudy and stood in the Ganqing Palace to curse Lu Wang Zhu Chang.

"He is not worthy of Zhu Chang's surname, and he is not a descendant of Emperor Taizu! I immediately issued an order to remove Zhu Chang's title and remove Zhu Chang's clan origin!"

This is already the most severe method that Zhu Lunkui can use, but Zhu Changyuan is in Hangzhou, so Zhu Lunkui's method has no practical significance.

After Zhu Lunkui finished ejaculation, he sat on the dragon chaise panting, staring with two eyes and asked, "Qian Qianyi, what do you think you should do?"

Since Zhu Lunkui gathered his military power, his temper has become bigger. He used to call his elders like Qian Qianyi, but now he has the power in his hands to call him his name.

After hearing Zhu Lunkui ask him, Qian Qianyi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, since Zhu Chang disobeys the will of heaven, he naturally wants to launch an army to attack!"

When Zhu Lunkui heard that the army was going to be sent to fight, he said in panic: "Do you still have to send Ma Cheng?" This was something that Zhu Lunkui didn't want to. In the past six months, Zhu Lunkui used various means to finally drive Ma Cheng home to carry the child. How could he let this guy go easily?

Zhu Lunkui was scared, Qian Qianyi was even more scared, but Qian Qianyi had already thought of a solution before coming. Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Please rest assured that the new governor Luo Bingran has completely controlled the army. In addition, in the city and various prefectures, His Majesty has 200,000 tiger and wolf troops. The rebels who dealt with Zhu Chang were not like fire!"

Zhu Lunkui felt relieved when he heard Qian Qianyi say this, right! I still have 200,000 tiger and wolf army troops, what are I afraid of?

Ma Cheng left a large number of troops for Zhu Lunkui, with 150,000 troops outside the city. In addition, Zhang Guozhu from Suzhou and Ma Bao from Taiping Prefecture, 200,000 new troops could still be afraid of Zhu Chang's mobs? What's more, these 200,000 troops were not temporary farmers. Just half a year ago, the Qing army was defeated by these 200,000 people. When dealing with Zhu Chang, it was naturally as simple as Qian Qianyi said, as if it were burning a pig's hair!

Zhu Lunkui nodded and said, "Do not use my elite troops to fight against Zhu Chang, just let Suzhou Admiral Zhang Guozhu go! Back then, Zhang Guozhu could have five thousand people guard Zhengyang Gate, but now 30,000 people can't defeat the 100,000 mob?"

Zhang Guozhu is Ma Cheng's direct descendant. Although he surrendered to Zhu Lunkui, he still couldn't make Zhu Lunkui completely relieved. He took this opportunity to let Zhang Guozhu go to battle and consume Ma Cheng's strength.
