When Liu Chengzong saw Yang Qi, he almost didn't recognize him.
This governor who traveled thousands of miles outside the Great Wall and conferred tens of thousands of households, after three days of changing horses and rushing for more than a thousand miles, he was almost no longer a human being.
His whole body was like a ball of dirt, the dirt on his face could crack, and his legs were bruised to pieces by the saddle, and he couldn't even walk. Finally, he was carried into Prince Qin's palace by Yu Linlang.
Although Yang Qi repeatedly claimed that he was fine and wanted to meet the generalissimo directly, when the news reached Liu Chengzong, he still asked Yu Linlang to push him into the side room, and the military doctor from Huben Camp washed his wounds and applied medicine, and then Liu Chengzong went in to visit him.
.
"You traveled fifteen hundred miles just for these two gold nuggets? I thought Monan was gone."
Liu Chengzong held two gold camel seals in his hand. As he spoke, he felt a little strange. After weighing them, he looked at one of them with disgust: "One of them is fucking fake."
Yang Qi spent three days and three nights on horseback, half asleep and half awake, suffering from the bumps and bumps. Now he saw Liu Chengzong and finally felt relieved. He just said angrily: "Commander, the sun and the moon can tell you, the general will never have two minds."
.”
After saying this, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Liu Shishi grinned angrily.
He asked the army doctor about Yang Qi's physical condition. Knowing that the guy was fine, he ordered his attendants to take good care of him and left the room.
Liu Chengzong stood under the eaves of the corridor of Prince Qin's Mansion, breathing in the cool air, crossing his arms and looking up at the sky, staring at the vulture imitating a crouching beast on the eaves of the hall for a while.
With the marshal's army moving around, there are not many vultures left in Xi'an. Even if they stay here, most of them fly to the Qinling Mountains in the south to look for food. There are only a dozen lazy vultures left in the entire Xi'an city.
They are very lazy, so they often squat in the main hall, and have ridged beasts on the eaves of the official offices.
Because those places are relatively high, but not too high, they can take off effortlessly. With a few flaps of their wings, they can fly to a higher city gate tower, and then glide with the airflow just like they are on a mountain.
.
Liu Chengzong observed for a long time and finally understood the reason why vultures are handsome in the air but ugly on land: their wings are too big.
Unlike other birds, the wings of the vulture are only folded once and placed on the sides of the body.
They need to be folded twice, which is equivalent to a person folding his elbows and then folding his wrists and tucking them under his armpits.
So much so that when they squat on the ground, they always have their shoulders hunched and their backs hunched.
After a long time, Liu Shizi sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you have become smarter."
The reason why Yang Qi jumped as if his butt was on fire was because Ming Dynasty made him king.
King Shunyi, the former king’s title of Tumote Anda Khan.
This made Liu Chengzong sigh with emotion, the emperor has a god by his side.
What kind of fucking lunacy is this? Your emperor's ancestral tomb is about to be demolished by the rebels. How can you still find time to try to divorce me?
Why am I bothering you by squatting in the northwest? If you have the ability, you can make me the Golden King of Hauge.
However, this very simple alienation plan is very effective. Doesn't it make Yang Qi come back like a fool?
In fact, Liu Chengzong knew that Yang Qi did not come back to show his loyalty to him. He rushed for three days on the road, but Yang Qi was just adding drama to him.
The governor of Monan was granted the title of king, and the people who really wanted to kill him were all in Monan.
After the title of King of the Ming Dynasty was given to Yang Qi, he could not stay in Monan for a day.
Just, how can I put it, Liu Shishi thinks that Chongzhen wants to grant Monan a Shunyi king. It is very simple to make this happen. As long as Yang Qi is not granted the title, anyone under Yang Qi will most likely cause civil strife in Monan.
I am separated from the commander-in-chief.
Only canonizing Yang Qi is of no use.
Let's take a look at what materials he has at his disposal.
Wang Cheng'en, the one who performed best during the Great Ming Dynasty and Northwest Qin Wang Zongbing, originally looked down upon others.
When he was beating Liu Chengzong, he uttered arrogant words in the military tent and gave the other four generals soldiers four-character derogatory nicknames.
He Huchen was huddled in the city, Yang Dashuai, the leader of the peasants and soldiers, You Shilu was suffering from old age and illness, and Wang Xingshan was poisoned by smallpox.
A very talented military commander, he regarded his friendly troops as chickens and dogs, and the chickens acted as governors above them.
He Huchen is a very honest military commander. He has cooperated with Yang Qi the most times. He was betrayed every time he cooperated. I hate this little clever guy very much.
The only time Yang Qi was sincere was when he promised Liu Chengzong that if something went wrong in Monan, he would ask He Huchen to take his head back.
It goes without saying that he should be King Shunyi of the Marshal's Mansion in terms of bloodline, origin, timing of attachment, and political influence.
Then Tumote Ten Thousand Houses Ombu and Yang Qi lived in their Guihua City and commanded their tribes. Now it's better, even their ancestral King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty has been taken away.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of families from Monan who were born with mud-legged backgrounds, who even wanted to bring Yang Qi's head to an audience with the Generalissimo.
The only aristocrat on the grassland who has no feelings for King Shunyi is Ordos Wanhu, the former Mongolian Jinong Erlinchen.
But Yang Qi came here not entirely because of Daming.
This is what made Liu Chengzong most emotional. Although Emperor Chongzhen seemed much smarter in his decision to make Yang Qi king.
But his luck is still so bad.
The newly born Hao Qing Gu Lun also gave Yang Qi the title of king.
Moreover, Huang Taiji gave Yang Qi the same title, but it was reversed, and he was called King of Yishun.
The most dramatic thing is that the envoy from Qing Qing and Gu Lun arrived before the envoy from the Ming Dynasty. They were meeting with Yang Qi at the Governor's Mansion in Guihua City when the envoy from the Ming Dynasty arrived.
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty was named Ma Shaoyu, a fellow Sichuan fellow of the Xuanfu Governor Chen Xinjia, and a Juren in Suining.
The envoy of Baoqing is named Ma Mingpei, a student from Liaoyang. His father was once a lecturer in Liaoyang. Nurhachi was killed when he captured Liaoyang. Now he is doing very well in Huang Taiji's literary library.
As soon as the two envoys met, Ma Shaoyu rushed towards them while holding the royal seal of Shunyi while they were still holding hands. The two literati grabbed the royal seal and smashed each other's heads.
When they were stopped and held down by Yang Qi's guards, it was okay for Ma Shaoyu to strike first, but Ma Mingpei had already taken in more air than out, so he was simply crushed to death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Shizi feels that this matter is not easy to evaluate.
Either Yang Qi wanted to borrow a knife to kill people on purpose, or Yang Qi had no brains.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for two groups of messengers with the same mission to meet.
Messenger, messenger, has only one mission, which is to accomplish the mission.
The two have the same mission, and it is destined that only one can complete the task assigned by the monarch.
So if you think about it with a normal scholar's brain circuit, the answer is very simple: physically destroy the opponent on the opposite side.
This is not what our ancestor Ban Chao did, it is a diplomatic tradition.
This wave was purely due to Ma Mingpei being burdened by his status, just like Liu Chengzong's envoy to the Ming Dynasty. Unless the mission was to cause trouble, he would probably not take the initiative to provoke conflicts and attack.
Because I definitely wanted to show the Ming emperors and ministers the etiquette and civilization that did not exist among the Dunta barbarians.
The envoys of the Ming Dynasty did not have such scruples, so they killed Ma Mingpei in a sneak attack despite the weight of their weapons.
In the end, Ma Shaoyu was put under house arrest by Yang Qi. Two royal edicts and two gold seals of the king's title fell into Yang Qi's hands. He was so hot that he rushed all the way to Xi'an with his things.
The funniest thing is that the gold seal of King Shunyi given by Ming Dynasty was still fake.
Although it looked golden, Liu Chengzong knew the weight was wrong as soon as he started using it.
The gold seal from Baoqing weighs sixteen kilograms, while the one from Da Ming only weighs seven or eight kilograms. It is probably a gold-plated copper seal.
It was this seal that made Liu Chengzong wonder what Chongzhen wanted to do.
Thinking from his perspective, it was very wise and reasonable for the emperor to canonize Yang Qi at this time. It could at least kill two birds with one stone.
It can not only create an enemy for Hou Jin, but also reduce an enemy for himself. It may even disgust Liu Chengzong and break his arm.
Of course, the third effect is difficult to achieve, but this is not Chongzhen's fault. The main reason is that Ming Dynasty could not figure out Yang Qi's military strength and force composition.
The governor of Monan rebelled against Liu Chengzong because of an illusory king's title, which was no different from committing suicide.
But when you want to make a king, just make it a good one. Forget about camel buttons. If you want to use copper, just get a real copper one and deliberately plate it with a layer of gold.
The court just lacks those two thousand taels of silver, right?
On the other hand, although Huang Taiji's and Yishun King's Golden Seal have average casting techniques, they weigh more than ten kilograms when weighed, and they are full of materials.
That’s really good!
But this is because Liu Chengzong didn't know the whole story.
When Anda Khan was canonized, he was not given a seal at first. Later, in the early years of Wanli, Anda Khan asked for a seal, and the court then gave King Shunyi a gold seal in accordance with the system of prefectures and kings.
According to the ceremony, a gold-plated and silver-plated turtle button seal was supposed to be given to the prince. The court proposed a gold-plated jade seal, but for some unknown reason, the one that ended up in the hands of Anda Khan was a gold-plated and copper-plated camel button seal.
.
Anda Khan made trouble several times, and the governor of the Ming Dynasty didn't know what the seal was about. They knew it was wrong and were afraid that he would use the seal to cause trouble, so they all fooled him.
In other words, the gold-plated copper-clad camel button seal is the true Shunyi King seal that continues to this day in Wanli.
Both families were absolutely sincere in their canonization of Yang Qi.
Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty took out the real Shunyi King Seal, abandoned the already weakened Tumut, and recognized the rebel Yang Qi as the lord of Monan.
Huang Taiji was also very sincere and offered a princely throne to win over Yang Qi.
But this intention is obviously hidden.
"Yuan Heng, take this one and melt it. Keep that one first and give it to Yang Qi later."
Liu Chengzong first threw the King's Seal of Yishun to Zhang Yuanheng, and after thinking about it, gave him the King's Seal of Shunyi. As he walked, he said: "Call Zhao Jifang and ask him to draft two documents. The first one is to send an order to Monanwan."
Hu'er Linchen, He Huchen, Wang Cheng'en, and the three generals of the army, let them discuss Monan affairs together for the time being."
"By the way, send someone to bring that Ma Shaoyu to me."
"The second letter was written for Yang Qi, thanking His Majesty for the title of King of Shunyi, expressing his loyalty and determination to resist the Hou Jin, asking for a year's salary of 10,000 stones, asking for the sale of horses in the switch market, and other odds and ends.
The little family is so angry that they want it, the emperor has money."
The two of them were walking towards the Junfu Yamen with Yulin Langzheng, when they saw two people coming from the Duanli Gate.
There is a bearded man wearing red and green clothes, carrying a sword and a bow and arrow; a young man wearing a red tassel hat and glasses, with a gun and an abacus hanging on his waist.
Needless to say, it was Zhang Xianzhong, the Minister of Li Yamen of the Marshal's Mansion, and Liu Chengyun, the Minister of Hu Yamen.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Xianzhong said with surprise and gloating: "Commander, I heard that Yang Qi was hit by more than ten arrows and fled back to the pass. He was covered in blood and was about to die. He went to prepare for the funeral and ordered someone to build a nanmu coffin?
"
What is this word?
Liu Shishi glanced at him with disgust.
Chengyun also stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Brother, how is the situation of Governor Yang?"
"Look, this is what people say."
Liu Chengzong exhorted Zhang Xianzhong, and then said to Chengyun: "Yang Qi is as strong as an ox. He didn't dismount for three days and three nights, and his legs were worn out. Other than that, he is just a little dirty, and there is no serious problem."
After that, he added: "But I was very frightened and exhausted. I will probably have a fever for two days."
"That's really... scary?"
Zhang Xianzhong was feeling sorry for Yang Qi's failure to die when he suddenly heard that he was frightened. He was surprised and wondered what had happened to scare the governor of Monan to the point of peeing.
The generals of the civilian army and the surrendered generals of the Ming army in the Marshal's Mansion did not like each other.
The civilian army felt that all the Ming troops were defeated generals, and the Ming army felt that the civilian troops were all troubled young men with bad habits.
However, these two factions are marginalized in the Marshal's Mansion, and there are not many people they can play with. They mostly dislike and cherish each other.
The only ones in the Marshal's Mansion that can really be called factions are Liu Chengzong's rebels.
Although he looked down upon him, Zhang Xianzhong understood Yang Qi after all. He crawled out of the dead and could not be easily frightened.
Just when he was doubtful, he heard Liu Chengzong say: "The Ming Dynasty made him the King of Shunyi, and the Qing Dynasty made him the King of Yishun. He has two royal seals in his hand. Do you think he is afraid or not?"
"hiss!"
Zhang Xianzhong took a breath of cold air.
Ming Dynasty didn't know the situation in Monan, didn't he know it yet? Yang Qi was just a polished commander. Any one thousand households in Monan could rebel, but this Yang Qi couldn't.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention anyone else, Yang Qibiao’s general Bai Wenxuan, who used to be Zhang Xianzhong’s, is familiar to him.
Yang Qi announced the change of flag the first day, and at night Bai Wenxuan came to Liu Chengzong with his head raised to receive the reward.
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong saw the eunuch Zhang Yuanheng holding two golden royal seals, and his eyes widened: "Commander, are those two royal seals?"
Liu Chengzong looked at his appearance and smiled at Zhang Yuanheng: "Yuanheng, let Zhang Butang take a look at those two stones."
Zhang Xianzhong took one end in his hand and had the same reaction as Liu Chengzong. He immediately knew that one was made of copper. He took it and looked at it again and again: "Why is this green seal engraved with the word "Tatar", which is the commander-in-chief?
Does it also have to be engraved with the word Tatar?"
"That's not necessary."
Liu Chengzong shook his head. Those who served as border soldiers had all learned a little bit of the Uighur alphabet in Mongolian, and said: "People use the pinyin because they have sounds but no words. Since we have words, why bother with it?"
Liu Shizi said, seeing Zhang Xianzhong's admiration for the golden seal, he smiled and said, "Want to have it, King Qing Yishun?"
"No no no no no."
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head rapidly, and the fondness on his face suddenly disappeared. He raised his hand as if it was being burned, and threw the gold seal back to Zhang Yuanheng: "Give it to my husband, this bastard seal is really ugly."
"Hahaha!"
When Liu Chengzong heard Zhang Xianzhong calling Bixi a bastard, he immediately laughed and said: "It's okay, I'll make one for you later. Whatever button you want, I'll make it for you."
"Does the commander-in-chief really mean what he said?"
Liu Chengzong nodded seriously and said: "The Book of the Sixth Yamen should have a seal."
"Then..." Zhang Xianzhong pursed his lips, raised his face, and looked at Zhang Yuanheng and Liu Chengyun with a pleased expression. He thought for a while and said, "My humble title was Huang Hu in my early years. In the future, the commander-in-chief will give me the seal of the Tiger Button."
"
When Liu Chengzong agreed, Zhang Xianzhong was very excited, as if he had already got the tiger seal in his hand.
Then his eyes rolled rapidly, and Liu Chengzong asked: "What else are you thinking of?"
"Well, Marshal, this seal seems to be quite valuable. Although Yang Qi's life is not in danger, he will not be able to be a director for a short time. Why don't you send me to Monan and ask them for two more seals?"
This young man!
Liu Chengzong pointed at Zhang Xianzhong and looked dumbfounded, "You are treating the Monan Governor's Mansion as a copy."
After taking office for a while, he finally rewarded King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty with a gold-plated copper seal and King Yishun of the Qing Dynasty with a gold seal, right?
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. It's not that Huang Taiji has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it. He canonized Yang Qi with this gold seal to reduce the pressure on his flanks. This year he will conquer the Ming Dynasty from Monan."
The smile on Liu Chengzong's face faded away, he raised his arms towards the military government office, took the lead and said: "The shipment just happened to be here, let's go and take a look at our grain road!"
