On October 24th, Yongli entered Nanjing with the two palaces.
Regarding the meeting between Zhu Yongxing and Yongli, later history books have different accounts. Some exaggerate the two people's greetings and humility to each other;
.”
Whether it was a cold greeting or a cold look, the fact is that at the end of the seventeenth year of Yongli, which was also the last year to be marked by Yongli, the Supreme Emperor Yongli came back. Compared with the seven years when Yingzong was locked in Nangong, Zhu Yongxing gave Yongli
His treatment was relatively generous, which also showed Zhu Yongxing's strong confidence in taking power.
Zhan Garden is a Ming Dynasty classical garden building complex in Nanjing that is no less than Xi Garden. It is even more famous than Xi Garden. Together with Wuxi Jichang Garden, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden and Liuyuan Garden, it is known as one of the "Four Famous Gardens in the South of the Yangtze River". Because it was once the
Part of the residence of Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, was repaired and expanded by the seventh, eighth and ninth generations of the Xu family. It was only during the Wanli period that it began to take shape.
When Zhu Yongxing took over Nanjing, he also had plans to use Zhanyuan as his palace. However, Mengzhu and Longer preferred the forest bureau of Xiyuan, so they gave up. However, Zhu Yongxing had good intentions and showed his magnanimity to the outside world, but it was
Yongli and others felt uneasy.
On the way, Yongli had already written a memorial, requesting to be honored and returned to the domain, but Zhu Yongxing did not agree after receiving it. He just sent Yongli's memorial to his residence and published it. This move is very thought-provoking, especially for Yongli and others who were worried.
People even speculate and have random thoughts.
After arriving in Nanjing, Yongli proposed this idea to Zhu Yongxing in person. Zhu Yongxing still expressed gentle words of encouragement, calling him an imperial brother, and calling him affectionate.
"Do I have to bow three times and give in three times?" Yongli muttered in his heart.
Although Zhanyuan is large, there are not many temporarily recruited palace people. There are only a few rooms for Yongli and the two empresses to live in, but it seems a bit empty. Of course, this is different from what it was in Myanmar. The palace is decorated with gorgeous clothes and delicious food.
Courts, pavilions, and servants are a hundred times better than thatched huts.
Moreover, Zhu Yongxing made it clear when they met that Yongli and others were free to come and go, not to mention Zhanyuan, but also places outside Nanjing or other provinces. As long as they reported to the Ministry of Rites, they could go there.
In this way, Yongli did not dare to be so aggressive. He stayed in Zhanyuan honestly and thanked guests behind closed doors. Although he thanked guests behind closed doors, Yongli did not cut off the source of information. There were officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were waiting for orders in Zhanyuan.
, there are palace people who go out to buy things, and they also know a lot about the current general trend of the world.
"Going back to the Supreme Emperor, during the court meeting yesterday, Long Live wanted to go on a personal expedition, but he was blocked by the ministers." In addition to obeying orders, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also responsible for informing Yongli of important affairs of the government and the public every day, and this was exactly what Zhu Yongxing meant.
"The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous, and the emperor has a body of thousands of gold. How can he venture into danger lightly?" Yongli nodded gently.
"When Long Live Hidden Dragon, I have personally visited the battle formations several times in Tengyue, Yongchang, Dali, Yuanjiang, Kunming, and Guangzhou. I will win the battle." The official of the Ministry of Rites said with an admiring look: "If Long Live is really the imperial commander, I will fight on the front line personally.
The morale of the armies will be greatly increased, and the generals will die in service. We will be able to restore the capital in one fell swoop and achieve the great cause of Zhongxing."
Yongli's face felt a little hot. He was unhappy in his heart, but he endured it and remained silent.
"The Northland is newly restored. The imperial court is selecting and appointing officials from the Northland. The minister is from the north. He has submitted his application and been appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. He will take office soon." The official of the Ministry of Rites bowed deeply to Yongli.
, said: "I can no longer listen to the teachings of the Supreme Emperor."
"Ah -" Yongli blinked, stretched out his hand to support you, and said: "Although we have only been together for a short time, I can see that you are a capable person, you are good at what you do, and you have a bright future!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words." After the official of the Ministry of Rites had finished saluting, he paused and said meaningfully: "Tomorrow, Your Highness Lu will come to visit you. If the Emperor has something important, you can tell His Highness Lu clearly. I heard that it is auspicious."
His Royal Highness Wang and other members of the clan have arrived in Hangzhou, and His Highness Lu will return soon to continue taking charge of the affairs of the clan."
King Ji and others are back? Yongli nodded gently. These people probably followed their clans in Myanmar. Now they are back to their homeland, which is a blessing. Well, King Lu is in charge of the clan mansion, and he requested to abdicate again through him
Returning to the feudal clan, maybe it can be done, right? If he is just an ordinary feudal king, and if he makes no mistakes, he will naturally not have to worry about the new emperor's suspicion and suspicion, and he can live his life with peace of mind, right?
…………..
"Long live a great treasure. I am a leader at home and abroad. How can I step into the battlefield lightly?" Mengzhu snuggled in Zhu Yongxing's arms, letting her hands rub and slide on her chest, and persuaded softly, "It's not the case now.
When the dragon is hiding, we need civil and martial arts to show our sage."
"Yeah!" Zhu Yongxing replied with a nasal tone, his hand slid down and lingered on the bulging lower abdomen, feeling the throbbing of the little life.
"The Supreme Emperor wants to return to the vassal, why is Your Majesty not allowed to do so?" Mengzhu held Zhu Yongxing's hand through her clothes and asked with a smile: "If it is accurate, Your Majesty will be at ease, and so will the Supreme Emperor."
"He's too anxious." Zhu Yongxing smiled, kissed Mengzhu's cheek, and said, "It seems like I'm forcing him. If I agree too readily, I'm afraid I will give such an impression to outsiders. Well,
How can he show his sincerity over and over again? Of course, I will go along with the situation and let him become an ordinary vassal king and live his life in peace."
"Your Majesty, you claim to use me." Mengzhu grabbed Zhu Yongxing's hand and moved it gently on her lower abdomen.
"You don't have to be so particular at home." Zhu Yongxing gently pressed his round belly button, making Mengzhu giggle. He folded his arms, hugged his wife, and said softly: "Just like you said, I
Now there is no need to show any achievements. As long as you are not stupid and don't kill indiscriminately, the throne will be secure. Even if you don't call yourself me, it doesn't matter. Well, you don't need to pay too much attention to the title. Come on, call me.
I'll listen to 'Dear'."
"No." Mengzhu leaned her head on Zhu Yongxing's shoulder and refused with a smile, "The Queen is quiet and elegant, and has a good reputation. If I want to imitate her, I will naturally not dare to obey Your Majesty."
"That's for outsiders." Zhu Yongxing rubbed Mengzhu's face lovingly and said with a smile: "If you disobey the order, I will punish you..."
You have to be gentle with your hands and feet, well, you have to change your posture, and the difficulty level is a bit higher. But it has a different taste and feeling! Otherwise, there is no end to learning, and everything you do requires effort...
"Well, A-Zhu, you are so kind and beautiful... Hmm..." Yun Zhiyu stopped. Zhu Yongxing hugged the warm * on his side, his chest pressed against his back, and he hummed in comfort.
"Your Majesty, concubine, have you not become ugly?" Mengzhu grabbed the dishonest hand on her chest and suddenly asked uneasily.
"How could it become ugly? The longer Ah Zhu grows, the more beautiful she becomes." Zhu Yongxing was puzzled by what he meant. He mumbled it casually, smelling the body odor of his beloved wife mixed with perfume and sweat.
Mengzhu fell silent for a long time, then she sighed.
Zhu Yongxing noticed something strange, so he gently pulled his beloved wife's plump and round hair. He pulled out the sweaty hair from his forehead and carefully looked at his beloved wife's slightly annoyed expression. When he saw his beloved wife's hand habitually placed on her lower abdomen,
When he stroked it gently, he suddenly understood.
I don’t know when or who summed up the experience of dressing up your daughter. In the era before B-ultrasound, observing the changes in the appearance of pregnant women has become a method followed by many people. Pregnant girls become beautiful, and pregnant women become beautiful.
The boy will become ugly.
Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but laugh. He pinched his wife's chin and comforted him: "What does the appearance of a boy or a girl have to do with the baby you are carrying? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. I think it is a boy this time. The baby was this big last time.
He's not so honest. Well, when I touched him, he wasn't honest, what do you think?"
This is a psychological suggestion. Even Mengzhu, who has been pregnant and given birth to a child, does not know exactly the slight difference between then and now. But when Zhu Yongxing said this, he felt great relief, blinked his big eyes and thought about it. He smiled and said
: "Really? Didn't you kick me in the stomach last time when you were this big?"
"No way. I remember it will be more than a month later!" Zhu Yongxing said seriously: "Look, with such strength, it must be a boy."
"Well, your majesty said so, I think this time is different from the last time." Mengzhu was obviously psychologically suggested, or she was willing to accept this psychological comfort, she smiled happily, and even hugged Zhu Yongxing's neck, stroking her face.
Kissed twice.
Oh, women, why do you like brats so much? Zhu Yongxing hugged his beloved wife who was in joy and whispered, and then he heard something that made him unhappy.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the child in my belly, I won't let anyone be gentle in the future. Can you let Long'er or Wan'er sleep with you?" Mengzhu traced circles on Zhu Yongxing's chest with her fingers and began to give birth to the future child.
The brat takes protective measures.
"Ah, it doesn't matter! Exercise, proper exercise is good for you." Zhu Yongxing argued.
"It doesn't matter." Mengzhu said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please accept my concubine! Well, tomorrow we have to choose a palace maid, so go take a look and see if there is anyone you like."
Zhu Yongxing said "hmm" feebly and helplessly, and was immediately melted by Mengzhu's soft words.
…………..
Heirs are very important to the people who pay attention to the inheritance of the family line. There are three so-called unfilial piety, and the worst is not having heirs! But for the emperor, it is even more important, and even related to the safety and stability of the country.
Zhu Yongxing felt that it was a great blessing to have three beautiful women by his side, and it was indeed not what he wanted to see with a lot of women in the harem fighting each other. But he was not in a hurry, and the courtiers were concerned about it. Although the emperor was now in the spring and Autumn period,
It is prosperous, but having a legal heir means the stability and continuity of the country, but it cannot be careless.
Moreover, it has almost become the consensus of all ministers to hope that Zhu Yongxing will accept Han concubines and then establish Han women as his queen. If he accepts a concubine early, gives birth to children early, and establishes a queen early, he will completely get rid of his heartache.
It's just that Zhu Yongxing obviously lacked interest in the newly recruited palace people from the private sector. He came in a hurry, only stayed for a while, and then left in a hurry.
His eyebrows are straight, but he doesn't have the feeling of being eye-catching or astonishing. Zhu Yongxing has not yet reached the point of being unscrupulous. Mengzhu, Long'er, and Duan Wan'er are all top choices. His horizons are high.
, his mind is not here, so he is not in a hurry. He would rather lack than waste. He is not short, so naturally he will not deal with it hastily.
The top priority now is the Northern Expedition. More than 200,000 troops from five armies are pressing towards the capital. In order to coordinate the various departments, the former enemy's general headquarters must be strengthened. Zhu Yongxing gave up the idea of conquering the imperial army personally and sent several officers from the general staff and
The commander-in-chief of the army to destroy Shuo was appointed Wei Wang Ma Bao, who had the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The commander-in-chief of the army to destroy Shuo was temporarily taken over by Chief of Staff Wu Sansheng.
The reason for not going on a personal expedition is not just because of the danger of the war, but also because of many factors. The supply of materials is already tight. If the court's emergency measures cannot take effect within three months, there will be a risk of financial bankruptcy. That is,
Said. Relying on the current consumption, the imperial court can still support for three months at most. Even if the emperor's personal expedition is simple, there will be a large number of followers and guards, which will increase the pressure on logistics. Furthermore, the imperial commander's personal expedition can indeed improve morale, but it will also cause
The frontline generals will bring pressure, and a lot of troops will be used to protect the Holy Commander, which may even change the military operation plan.
Considering all the pros and cons, although Zhu Yongxing desperately wanted to write his name in this historic battle. He was unparalleled on the battlefield, heard the cheers of the mountains roaring like a tsunami, and saw the heroic appearance of the soldiers fighting the enemy bravely.
But he still resisted the impulse. Alas, time travelers don't stand out. It's so unlikeable, Zhu Yongxing secretly sighed in his heart.
The Ming army used Jinan and Dezhou to guard Hebei, and pressed on the line of Hejian (today's Cangzhou) with hundreds of thousands of troops to confront the Qing army. The so-called confrontation was only temporary. The Ming army was mobilizing a large number of artillery and artillery.
Assemble to the front line and prepare to defeat the enemy with iron and fire.
Steady advancement, paying attention to the flanks, and adopting a dense and upright fighting posture are to force the Qing army and the Ming army to engage in frontal combat. In order to give full play to the advantages of the Ming army's muskets and artillery, it will be difficult for the Qing army's cavalry to use them to the greatest extent.
Tactics such as harassment, guerrillas, food deprivation, and flank assaults.
From the current point of view, the Ming army still has a numerical advantage, but this gap is shrinking because the Manchus gave up large areas of occupation and mobilized troops everywhere. However, the Ming army continued to increase its troops, and the Yinshuo army left behind a
The main force of the Zhenshuo Army and the Defeating Shuo Army continued to occupy Henan. The main force changed its route and advanced towards Jinan; the main force of the Zhenshuo Army and the Defeating Shuo Army slowly advanced in Shaanxi towards Shanxi, while two thousand hussars and two thousand dragoons were transferred to Henan. They will be on the Yellow River
We took a boat to the east and came to the front line to join the battle.
In fact, due to the sudden increase in difficulties, the Ming army's strength in besieging the capital has been much smaller than planned. Moreover, the advancement speed in Henan and Shaanxi has been slowed down to wait for the arrival of more supplies. Even though
In this way, if all the Ming troops mobilized for the temporary response are in place, and if the Qing army and the Ming army engage in an upright and direct decisive battle, the Ming army's victory will still be irreversible.
"Don't divide your troops, firmly control the coastline, and just keep an eye on the capital. The Manchus will have no choice but to fight decisively or retreat." Zhu Yongxing gave his final instructions to the staff officers who were about to set off. In fact, this was a bit redundant. These officers were already completely
He understood the battle plan of the General Staff and had a comprehensive understanding of the entire current war situation.
But the person who spoke was the most powerful emperor, so no one listened seriously and seriously, and no one dared to look disapproving.
"Haha, I'm sure you all understand what I said." Zhu Yongxing laughed at himself, then became serious, and said in a deep voice: "Winning this battle is no less than the great achievement of Emperor Gaozu in destroying the Yuan Dynasty, and it also shows that
We are the true resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we must put aside the eagerness for success and quick success, and win with stability and solidity. As long as we do this, according to the comparison of overall strength, our army will have no problem winning. Tell the generals on the front line
, I will raise funds from the rear so that they can calm down and fight the war without worrying about material logistics. Remember, remember!"
"Long live the wise man, I will obey the Holy Edict." As a representative of the staff officer corps, Xu Mingchen stepped forward and bowed to answer.
Zhu Yongxing nodded, raised his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and after a few words of comfort, he asked the officials to lead everyone out of the hall.
In fact, the decree has already been sent to the front line, not only appointments, but also instructions like this. It doesn't matter if you go slow, what Zhu Yongxing wants is a steady victory. As long as the Ming army generals are not impatient and remain calm in the face of the great achievement of recovering the capital,
With composure, victory is already in your hands.
As for the problem of grain and grass supplies, Zhu Yongxing believes that it can be solved within three months, because various emergency measures have begun to be implemented, and the effects should be gradually reflected.
"Long live, don't worry. All the generals on the front line have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have imperial edicts and instructions. They will not make mistakes." When Zhu Yongxing was deep in thought, Wu Sangui in the palace said.
According to the title and position, Wu Sangui might not be a candidate for the frontline commander, but Zhu Yongxing did not send him out, but promoted Wei Wang Ma Bao on the spot. Since the Dangshuo Army was also on the frontline, most of the military generals were relatives of Wu Sangui
As a former general, and because he had a history of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not take the initiative to join the army, but stayed in Nanjing as the chief officer of the Ministry of War.
"Actually, I am still impatient." Zhu Yongxing shook his head helplessly and said: "If the Northern Expedition starts next spring, there should not be so many problems, and there will be no need to carry out emergency response two or three times. There will be more troops.
, the materials will be more abundant, and that will be an invincible situation!"
"Your Majesty is kind and loving to the people. Although he encountered some difficulties in his early launch, how many people in the north were able to survive? This is all due to the kindness of Long Live." Wu Sangui bowed and said: "Furthermore, if we sit back and watch Shandong's defeat in Yu Qi, our army will be able to survive as scheduled.
During the Northern Expedition, we lacked a big helping hand. How could we approach the capital so easily? How could we use Shandong as our base and go straight to Liaodong?"
"Every disadvantage has an advantage, dialectics? Haha." Zhu Yongxing patted the armrest of the dragon chair with a wry smile and said a term that Wu Sangui didn't understand, "I plan to establish two major theaters, Liaodong and Liaoxi. As for Liaodong, it is based on the current
The Denglai Liao headquarters is mainly in charge; as for western Liaoning, Wu Qing is familiar with the situation, does he have any suggestions?"
Wu Sangui pondered for a moment and then said: "According to the old system, we can set up the governor of Jiliao, prime minister of military affairs, and also in charge of food and wages. The troops will be stationed in the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaoxi, and Baoding..."
