The Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into two periods, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which unified the Qin and Han Dynasties...
This is a dynasty sequence table that every Chinese is extremely familiar with.
As the head of the dynasty of all dynasties, Xia has an irreplaceable position in the minds of the Chinese people.
The Chinese Summer has both the great etiquette and the meaning of the Xia Dynasty.
Just like Chinese people in later generations will call themselves Han people, they will also call themselves Tang people. It has become a synonym for China.
That dynasty, which has fascinated countless Chinese people, has always been hidden in the fog of history, and its true appearance has never been revealed.
Did the Xia Dynasty actually exist?
Zuo Mengeng didn't know the answer.
But the name "Xia" is not unworthy.
"I'm afraid that if I don't have enough virtue, I will be ashamed of the world!"
He was a little worried and a little unsure.
Huang Zongxi was very determined.
"Although I dare not compare myself to the sages of the past, nor dare to surpass future generations, compared with the heroes of our time, you are far above them. I always firmly believe that under your leadership, we are on the right path and will definitely be able to
Create China’s future.”
Staring at this like-minded comrade, the only thing Zuo Menggeng could see in his eyes was the bright and passionate brilliance.
Huang Zongxi's support gave him great motivation.
"Then let's leave it to the public opinion."
In his heart, he also prefers the name "Xia". But this is not a matter of one person and needs to be widely recognized.
Originally, he thought that this matter would cause a lot of controversy, and that it would take a long period of discussion before a definition could finally be formed.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as the idea of naming him Xia was proposed, everyone quickly agreed.
Today's Chinese people have not yet experienced the unforgettable century of humiliation. Although the world is in chaos and plagued by miscellaneous diseases, every Chinese citizen has in his bones the arrogance of overlooking the world.
They are proud to be Han Chinese, but in their eyes, all the people are barbarians.
If there is a name that can be recognized by everyone, it is obvious that "Xia" Shan is the first.
Feedback from all aspects quickly gathered in the center, and everyone strongly agreed with the name Weixia.
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Hou Xun and others followed public opinion and began to prepare for the title of Jianji.
After discussion, the Jianji Preparatory Committee was established. It was led by three Confucian masters, Liu Zongzhou, Sun Qifeng, and Lu Shanji, and assisted by Li Banghua, Huang Zongxi, Wang Yun, Wang Xiuqin, and Xu Ji.
As for when the king-proclaiming ceremony will be held, it depends on the progress of preparations and the surrounding situation.
Since it is an open discussion, there are no secrets.
News of the changes in Shandong was quickly presented to Chongzhen.
Of course, the news that Huang Taiji was about to proclaim himself emperor and establish a country also came at the same time.
This was really one heavy punch after another, which made Chongzhen dizzy and unable to parry.
"He is a barbarian from Huangtaiji. He doesn't become a king, and he pretends to be dignified. He is really making the world laugh."
Chongzhen tried his best to belittle Huang Taiji and his words were very vicious.
But other than that, what else?
When the Central Plains dynasty was at its peak, any barbarian from all over the world who dared to claim arrogance would only end up in ashes.
It's a pity that today's Ming Dynasty has long been in decline, and even if someone rides on you, you can only swallow your anger.
Not only were they unable to conquer, but they also had to worry about Huang Taiji coming to attack.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with his eyes blank. He searched every corner of his mind but couldn't find any idea.
All the ministers were also in panic and had no choice.
Wen Tiren had no choice but to divert Chongzhen's attention.
"Your Majesty, Shandong Zuo's rebellious intentions have been revealed. I would like to ask for your instructions on how to deal with it."
Show me?
How to show it?
Besides smiling bitterly, Chongzhen still smiled bitterly.
It’s not like Shandong’s rebellion was discovered today. If it could be eradicated, why wait until today?
But when he thought that Zuo Menggeng was about to become king and split the Ming Dynasty's territory, Chongzhen's heart was torn into pieces.
"Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are in charge of Shaanxi and the Central Plains. When can they exterminate the bandits and free up their troops?"
To deal with Shandong, many, many soldiers are needed.
Because Shandong is more capable than Houjin.
North Korea and China have already reached a consensus that if they want to deal with Shandong, they will not dare to fight without an army of 500,000.
But now the Ming Dynasty's army is dragged into the invincible cave of the Central Plains.
Unless the northwest rebel army is wiped out, it cannot be mobilized. Not to mention dealing with Hou Jin, even Shandong, the side of the bed, can only look at the ocean and sigh.
Chongzhen was just angry that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng were not doing their job well and had delayed for so long, but they still hadn't wiped out the rogue bandits.
He was just about to issue an order to order Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng to speed up the progress, when urgent military information of 100,000 yuan was sent in.
"Urgent report from Henan. Commander-in-Chief Tang Jiuzhou was chasing the intruder Gao Yingxiang. He failed to investigate for a moment and was trapped in a tight siege. He died fighting hard. No one can control the intruder in Henan. There is an emergency everywhere."
When he heard that another general had died in battle, Chongzhen's eyes immediately went dark and he almost fainted.
He also thought about letting all the officers and soldiers speed up the attack, but in the end they suffered such a huge defeat.
Is it really impossible to kill all these bandits?
Zuo Mengeng, who was far away in Shandong, didn't know that his cheap dad had provided a divine assist at a critical moment.
Because Zhang Xianzhong caused trouble in Huguang, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to lead the main force to return reinforcements and protect his rear. As for the war situation in Henan, he could only let a few generals take responsibility for themselves.
The Ming army generals who remained in Henan were led by Tang Jiuzhou and Zuo Liangyu.
After the victory in the Battle of Fengyang, all the Ming army units had some feelings of underestimating the enemy.
Tang Jiuzhou's troops reported to the court that there were 5,700 people, but in fact there were only more than 1,600.
Even so, Tang Jiuzhou didn't think there was anything wrong.
Anyway, the enemy in front of him, Gao Yingxiang, had already been defeated. How could he dare to fight against the army? As long as he added more force, he might be able to take the great credit of capturing the leader of the thief.
With this in mind, Tang Jiuzhou showed no fear, advanced his troops quickly, and soon forced himself around Songshan Mountain.
He sent scouts to search everywhere, and at the same time asked the local people. He was overjoyed to learn that Gao Yingxiang was hiding in Songshan Mountain.
Seeing the great success in front of him, Tang Jiuzhou decided to show his strategizing skills.
He sent a letter to Zuo Liangyu, asking Zuo Liangyu to send troops to attack him from east to west and eliminate Gao Yingxiang in Songshan Mountain.
He did this so naturally, but it made Zuo Liangyu furious.
"What kind of a piece of shit is he, Tang Jiuzhou, worthy of ordering me to do something? He doesn't care about his worth. He's like a piece of shit. Let's see how he dies!"
Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou have had conflicts for a long time.
After Zuo Liangyu resurrected, he was sent to Changping as deputy commander-in-chief. Tang Jiuzhou was another deputy commander-in-chief at that time.
Tang Jiuzhou learned about Zuo Liangyu's experience and looked down upon him. He bullied him because he was new here, so he made every possible effort to trample Zuo Liangyu under his feet.
Zuo Liangyu finally resumed his official position and cherished it in every possible way. He was afraid that it would affect his career if he caused trouble, so he chose to swallow his anger.
But who is Zuo Liangyu?
How can anyone forget who has offended him?
Now that Lu Xiangsheng is away, Tang Jiuzhou dares to command him. If this doesn't give him any color, then he is not Zuo Liangyu.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Zuo Liangyu got into trouble.
When facing Tang Jiuzhou's envoy, he patted his chest and was impassioned.
"Go back and tell Mr. Tang that Zuo will send troops to join forces with him today. It is Zuo's honor to serve under Mr. Tang."
Tang Jiuzhou's envoy did not doubt that he was there, so he turned around and went back to resume his duties.
Watching the envoy leave, Zuo Liangyu had a cruel smile on his face.
