Chapter 500: Your Highness please ascend the throne!
At the end of May, a fast horse came from the north, bringing news that the Northern Expeditionary Army had captured most of the capital.
The whole Jiangdu Prefecture was immediately excited, and firecrackers were set off everywhere on the streets.
Although the children didn't understand what was going on, they were all happy and running around the street when they saw the lively scene.
The court officials were even more delighted.
Originally they were just officials of local separatist forces, but soon they will become officials in charge of the whole world!
The civil servants could not conceal their joy and submitted memorials one after another, proposing to change the names of places in the Yuan Dynasty to indicate the arrival of the new dynasty.
Zhang Yangquan welcomed this proposal very much. The Yuan Dynasty used roads to refer to places, which always made him feel very uncomfortable.
He handed over the matter to Guo Niansheng and Chen Ji, who then submitted a petition asking whether the Yuan Dynasty's provincial system should be retained.
Zhang Yangquan agreed to keep it, but suggested that they divide the province into more parts.
The Yuan Dynasty currently consists of one Zhongshu Province plus ten provinces, plus one Xuanzhengyuan.
……
"What happened to Tatar King Baobao?"
The Emperor Zi said: "Li Shanchang sent Yuan Emperor Yong's most proud disciple to persuade him to surrender! You heard that Ding Tianyong's ability is really wrong. Qin Lingjun should be very slow to surrender!"
"Guo Niansheng?"
Zhang Yangquan said seriously: "That's the same thing. If you retreat from Tongguan, the main force of your army will have to cross the Yellow River again, and Hebei will be enriched!"
King Kaiyuan sighed: "It is said that the King of Shandong is good at using troops. When I saw it today, it turned out that the reputation was false. Naha was convinced!"
Because of this, the name of Chang'an changed several times. In the Song Dynasty, it was called Jingzhao Prefecture, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Anxi Prefecture.
Zhang Yangquan took it and took a look and found that it turned out to be a poem, and the writing was wrong. Anyway, I wrote poems like that.
Zhang Yangquan took a bite of food and said anxiously: "You know what I'm thinking, but there's nothing wrong with it. Our next biggest enemy is not this person!"
Zhang Yangquan hoped to establish more than 20 provinces like later generations to make management easier.
Guo Niansheng followed the sound and saw several cavalrymen galloping towards them. The leader was none other than King Kaiyuan.
"Tuohuan died? How did he die?" I stood up and asked.
Zhang Yangquan hesitated for a while and said: "Chang'an is still in Qin Lingjun's hands. It would be too early to discuss that now!"
The emperor's eyes were sharp and he said: "If Hebei didn't cooperate, if Guo Niansheng took the opportunity to regain Xiaodu, our subsequent efforts would have been in vain!"
The eight people began to discuss. After Naha left, he went to Yingchang Mansion. Guo Niansheng took a few of his followers and returned to Dingtian overnight.
King Kaiyuan changed his color and said: "Is he participating in the war?"
However, Zhang Yangquan did not agree with every suggestion.
Zhang Liangbi, who was immersed in eating, heard this and his ears twitched. Although you don't have your own palace, you will have meals with your sister every night.
"The small capital was just a symbol, but in fact its role was not that small. For the Guanzhong warlords, what really mattered was Hu Weilu!"
Since before the An-Shi Rebellion, Chang'an City had been destroyed eight times in total.
"That's wrong! As long as Hu Wei's Guo Niansheng is still there, Shanxi will be lost. Without Shanxi as a barrier, your army will dare to retreat with all its strength!"
Zhang Yangquan said seriously: "Don't get upset too early. Chen Ji is dead, and there are still no Prince Yuan and Guo Niansheng."
"Where is the prince?" King Kaiyuan got on his horse and asked with a sullen face.
So I came to the Nanpo store in person to meet Aiyou.
That sentence is equivalent to acknowledging that I want to move the capital to Chang'an.
King Kaiyuan glanced at me and said hotly: "Your Majesty has passed away, the bandits are raging, the country has a monarch, and the crown prince is enthroned again, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered!"
Emperor Zi frowned and said: "The small capital has been attacked. Is the war situation still gloomy?"
When Dabi reported back that Zhang Yangquan had no attention under the name of Chang'an, you decided in your heart that Zhang Yangquan wanted to make Chang'an the capital.
Originally, when Guo Niansheng and Ai You led the troops to Nanpodian, they conveyed an order to the Mobei Army, asking us to act as bait and then go down to the capital after leading the troops.
Emperor Zi was very suspicious of my judgment and said, "Why does Guo Niansheng keep taking action?"
Zhang Liangbi clapped his hands and celebrated: "It's too bad. The Tartar king is dead. We have won that war!"
"I'm dead!"
Before I received the order, news of Chen Ji's death happened to arrive.
Guo Niansheng said: "As soon as the battle breaks out over there, the news will be spread to Xiaodu! If the bandit soldiers see you in Xiadu, they will take the opportunity to retreat against Hu Wei!"
Guo Niansheng said: "You will leave the flag outside the Prince's Palace and quietly return to Hu Wei. When the thieves come to attack Hu Wei, you will give us a head-on attack!"
Ding Tianhao said with a smile: "It's true that I want to make Chen Ji suffer a little. He knows that I am not that important, so he will reuse me in the future!"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "Yong Emperor Yong of the Yuan Dynasty will still be useful no matter how incompetent he is. Whether Ding Tianhao will join him or not depends on the situation in Hebei. It is not something that can be done with just one mouthful!"
All the people in the big town were gathered together and locked up in a nearby camp.
Aiyou explained: "King Kaiyuan, please don't delay. Marshal Kuo Kuo's troops will be led by me personally. I returned to Hu Wei for no other reason!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "My sister's guess is possible!"
Guo Niansheng shook his head and said: "Even if he ascends the throne now, it will still have an inspiring effect. Only by winning a small victory can the people in heaven know whether Xiao Yuan has fallen or not!"
King Kaiyuan kept his words, passed by Guo Niansheng, and walked along the streets of Dazhen in small steps.
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "Absolutely possible!"
"Yes!"
Pass the letter in hand.
Seeing the prince's expression, King Kaiyuan was obviously saddened by Chen Ji's death. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please go to Helin with you immediately to hold a small enthronement ceremony!"
Aiyou said: "It's wrong, you also agree with the marshal's plan to expand the profile!"
Aiyou turned around quickly, raised his hand and said: "King Kaiyuan must be polite." His voice was hoarse.
King Kaiyuan said: "The enemy has only arrived with less than 100,000 people, but you combined have only less than 140,000 people! In a direct battle, can you, the Mongolian warrior, beat the Han people?"
Zhang Liangbi followed: "Yes, you have seen Yuan Diyong. He is smart and weak, but he is very capable in doing things!"
Now seeing the other party's neat handwriting and brilliant literary talent, I nodded in my heart.
When Song Lian proposed to move the capital one after another, although Zhang Yangquan did not refuse, Ding Tianhao still called Song Lian over and inquired in detail about moving the capital.
Little did he know that King Kaiyuan had not returned to the Mobei Army.
From Song Lian's words, you learned that Zhang Yangquan decided to make Chang'an his capital.
Most of them were changed to Beiping Prefecture, Jiqing Road was changed to Jiangning Prefecture, and Pingjiang Road was changed to Suzhou Prefecture.
He turned to Yang Baqiang and said, "Has Prince Yuan ascended the throne in Ding Tian?"
Guo Niansheng was wearing a white mourning dress, standing at the entrance of the town, looking up at the sky, and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it was going to rain soon.
Guo Niansheng bowed to the seven people and said: "In this case, the war will be left to the palace and King Kaiyuan. You have to return to Hu Wei!"
King Kaiyuan walked to the door of the house in small steps and pushed open the small door with a "bang" sound.
"Your Majesty! The latest news just came from the Northern Expedition. The King of Tartars protects me..."
King Kaiyuan thought for a while, then denied that what Guo Niansheng said was unreasonable, and said: "This is bad, for the sake of a small situation, my Mobei Army will be used as a bait!"
Zhang Liangbi said: "You heard that King Baobao of Tartar asked Guo Niansheng for help several times, but Guo Niansheng never rescued me. Is this person not giving up on the Yuan Dynasty yet and wanting to join you?"
Although no one came to rebuild it, the population dropped sharply, the city area also shrank several times, and its historical status slightly declined.
That's why Ding Tianhao and Ji Ning proposed changing Anxi Prefecture to Xi'an Prefecture.
Nanpo Store has not yet been filled with troops, so it has become the temporary residence of Ding Tianhao's small army.
Yang Baqiang suddenly walked back from the door, his steps were slow, his expression was full of joy, and he was holding a piece of silk in his hand.
Guo Niansheng said: "It's useful. The traitors are now hiding in Longgang Mountain to ambush and attack them directly. We can't defend the mountain. When the traitors from Xiaodu come to help, your army will be defeated."
The north wind was very light, and the sound of horse hooves came from nearby along with the wind.
Originally, Chen Ji was a dim king in Zhang Yangquan's mind.
In addition, after many discussions between Guo Niansheng and Chen Ji, Zhang Yangquan agreed to change several place names.
King Kaiyuan asked: "What is the reason?"
Looking up, I saw Prince Yuan Aiyou Shili Dara wearing a white mourning dress, standing next to a table, with his back to the direction of the small door.
With a "bang" sound, the chopsticks in Zhang Yangquan's hand fell under the table.
King Kaiyuan was silent for a while and said: "Since the prince has made up his mind, you have no choice but to fight. Can you change the way of fighting?"
Yang Baqiang said: "According to the news sent back by Marshal Xu, he died of vomiting blood. He must have become sick with grief and anger after losing Xiaodu! By the way, that is the reply letter from King Baobao of Tartar to you!"
For example, they proposed to change Anxi Road to Xi'an Prefecture, but Zhang Yangquan rejected it, and instead asked to use the name Chang'an Prefecture instead!
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "Send an order to Marshal Xu Baisheng, saying that beating Xiaodu is just the end, and dealing with Guo Niansheng is the top priority, so there is no need to slack off!"
That evening, Zhang Yangquan came to Zichen Hall for dinner, and Ding Tianhao wanted to discuss the matter with me.
Aiyou asked: "How does King Kaiyuan want to fight?"
Seventy miles west of the lower capital, there is a market town named Nanpodian.
"Yes, now is the time to ascend the throne!" Guo Niansheng's voice came from the door.
King Kaiyuan was stunned: "That's true."
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said solemnly: "So the next battle with Guo Niansheng is the key!"
Zhang Liangbi muttered: "We haven't attacked Tongguan yet, is it okay to retreat from Tongguan?"
After King Kaiyuan came down, he performed a Mongolian etiquette and said: "Greetings to the Crown Prince!"
Before feeding Zhang Yangquan, you asked casually: "Your Majesty, are we going to move to Chang'an in the future?"
Guo Niansheng followed King Kaiyuan, and when he passed a small house, he reminded him: "King Kaiyuan, your Majesty is in the house!"
In the Zhengyang Palace, Dabi is asking Yang Baqiang about the change of place names.
That was the order of the Emperor Zi. You would interfere with the government affairs if you didn't have anything to do with it, but you were very concerned about moving the capital.
Guo Niansheng said: "We are waiting in the town."
When Aiyou came to write me a letter in person, King Kaiyuan was still doubtful about the letter. He had to meet the prince in person before he would doubt Guo Niansheng.
No wonder Monk Qiujiang said that I will be Mingjun in the future. Judging from the reply, there is indeed not much shadow of Mingjun!
King Kaiyuan didn't agree, but Guo Niansheng defected to the traitors, held the prince hostage, and deliberately spread false news in order to gain my Mobei army, so he was willing to accept the order!
Yang Baqiang said: "There is no news that I have ascended the throne!"
