The Third Blood Cleansing the Country: Chapter 292 Getting a Son
In April of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Taiwan was victorious.
Ding Yunyi, the deputy general of Taiwan, the protector of the army, and the general of the country, led the Tiger Guard Navy to defeat the combined fleet of the four countries and shocked the sea.
At the same time, Ding Yunyi formed a pirate alliance and recruited pirates into the alliance. As a result, the threat from Fujian pirates and the Western countries was lifted.
In October of the same year, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, was dismissed from office, and the Wen Party lost power.
During this year, the brightest general of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly only one person:
Ding Yunyi!
This young and resolute general has made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty from the moment he was born. Every time he appears, he always brings countless surprises to people.
His name has been firmly engraved in the history of Ming Dynasty!
On the sixth day of March in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin Dynasty reorganized the Wenguan into three inner courtyards: Neiguo History Academy, Inner Secretariat Academy, and Neihongwen Academy. They were divided into directors. The Neiguo History Academy was in charge of annotating the emperor’s daily life edicts and collecting imperial texts.
Official memorials, promotions and promotions of officials, orders of wives and daughters of heroes, letters from neighboring countries, etc., are all compiled into historical annals. The Inner Secretariat is responsible for compiling letters from various countries, recording memorials to various yamen, pleadings for grievances, and the emperor's edicts to various officials.
The imperial edict was sent to the Confucian Temple, and to the civil and military officials; the Inner Hongwen Academy was responsible for commenting on the good and evil deeds of the past dynasties, going to the imperial court, attending to the princes, teaching the princes, promulgating the system, etc.
This is the preparation for the Jurchens to become emperor.
On April 11, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chongde, so that this year was the first year of Chongde; the country's name was changed to "Qing"; the clan name was changed to "Manzhou";
The capital was in Shengjing. He was honored as "Emperor Kuanwenrenrensheng." The next day, Huang Taiji led hundreds of officials to worship the Ancestral Temple. He honored his father Nurhaci as "Emperor Chengtian Guangyun Shengde Shengong established the most benevolent and Xiaowu Emperor", and the temple was named Taizu;
From the grandfather to the first ancestor, they were all honored as kings. Ten days later, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty conferred the title of king on his subjects. His brothers, nephews, Mongolia Beile of the foreign vassals, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all crowned kings. Ceremony of Emperor Taizong's accession to the throne of the Qing Dynasty
It lasts for about twenty days, and most of the etiquette is imitated in Han style.
The Manchus officially proclaimed themselves emperor!
As soon as the news came out, Chongzhen was furious, and the Ming Dynasty was shocked both inside and outside the country.
This means that the Manchus are on equal footing with the Ming Dynasty in terms of status.
After proclaiming themselves emperor, the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately invaded the Ming Dynasty in an attempt to force the Ming Dynasty to recognize this fact by force.
On May 30th, Huang Taiji sent Duoluowuying County Prince Azige and others to unite one hundred thousand Eight Banners troops to attack Ming Dynasty. On June 27, Azige troops divided into three groups and entered Xifengkou and Dushikou. Ming Dynasty patrolled Guan Yu
Shi Wang Zhaokun refused to fight and was defeated and died. The Ming army retreated to Changping, and the Qing army invaded Juyong again on Changping North Road. Datong general Wang Pu rushed to the rescue, killing 1,104 people and capturing 143
people.
The Ming army won a great victory.
The Qing Dynasty proclaimed itself emperor, and rogue bandits reappeared, forcing the imperial court to allocate an additional 2,993,790 taels of pay and silver this year.
In the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Huang Taiji personally went to Korea to accuse the Chongqing Alliance of aiding the Ming Dynasty. The Qing army conquered Yizhou and Anzhou with overwhelming force, approaching the capital Pyongyang. King Li Zongfeng of Korea led his eldest son and hundreds of officials to escape to the South Han Mountain.
He ordered his second son and his family to take refuge on Ganghwa Island and ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty ordered Chen Hongfan, the commander-in-chief, to dispatch boat divisions from various towns to help. The Qing army crossed the Han River and arrived at the camp west of South Han City. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty sent an envoy to surrender. Not long after, Li Zhu knew that
Ganghwa Island fell, and all the reinforcements were defeated. In February, he presented an imperial seal and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. In March, the Ming army went to sea. After a few days, it was discovered that the vassal country of Korea had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time when North Korea was in emergency, the Ming Dynasty sent General Chen Hongfan to go to the navy division to assist. In February, the Ming army began to march. Upon hearing of North Korea's surrender, on April 9, Qing generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others attacked Tieshanpi Island. Governor of Shandong
The emperor asked Hong Fan and the general Shen Shikui to defend Pi Island. Shen Shikui was defeated by the Qing army, and he and Hong Fan retreated to Shicheng Island. The deputy general Jin Riguantong and his soldiers fought fiercely with the Qing troops for seven days and nights. They were all exhausted and died in the battle.
, Pidao fell.
In the first month of the first month, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others left Huguang to meet up with King Zuo Jin and Ge Liyan, who were known as Gezuo King Camp. On the sixth day of the lunar month, the company camp was approaching Anqing for hundreds of miles, the beacon fire reached Huaiyang, and Nanjing was severely shaken. Zhang Guowei, the governor of Anqing in the Ming Dynasty, warned.
Other troops attacked Chuzhou. Emperor Chongzhen ordered Zuo Liangyu, Ma Xu, and Liu Liangzuo to join forces for rescue.
Zhang Xianzhong and others fought a battle with the Ming army at the foot of Anqing City and lost. Zhang Xianzhong and others retreated to Qianshan Tianwang Ancient Village.
In March, Zhang Xianzhong led his army out of Qianshan and defeated Taihu, Qizhou, Huangzhou and other places. On the 25th, Xianzhong led his army and fought with the Ming army in Zhijiadian of Taihu Lake. Zhang Xianzhong surrounded the Ming Dynasty with tens of thousands of troops.
The army was heavily outnumbered and the generals were sent to block Shi Kefa and other reinforcements.
When it rained, rogue bandits attacked from all sides and killed Ming general Pan Keda and more than 40 people. The Ming army was defeated and more than 6,000 soldiers were lost. Zhang Xianzhong led his army to take advantage of the victory to take Hezhou, Hanshan, ** and other places eastward.
.
The Ming Dynasty, after a brief period of tranquility, fell into chaos again... In the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Golden Eagle City, Taiwan.
"Water, water."
"Quick, go and heat the water."
The official residence in Golden Eagle City was in chaos. Everyone was walking in a hurry and shouting. It seemed that the enemy had already arrived.
But today, for Ding Yunyi and Golden Eagle City, it is about to become a happy day:
Ding Yunyi’s child is about to be born!
Ding Yunyi, who was usually calm and composed, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, rubbing his hands and running around.
Seeing Lu Xue coming out, holding a basin of hot water and preparing to go in, Ding Yunyi hurriedly asked: "Do you want my help?"
"Master Ding, please stop causing trouble!" Lu Xue said angrily, and then hurried in.
Poor Ding Yunyi, Master Ding has conquered the world, he is frightened by everyone who hears it, and he is invincible by everyone who sees him. But here, he is scolded by a little maid. Although he is always embarrassed, he can only smile with him.
"Third brother, please stop wandering around, you will make us dizzy."
"Deputy Town, can you calm down for a while? The one I invited is the most famous midwife in Taiwan."
All the subordinates were very dissatisfied with Ding Yunyi's going around and protested one after another.
This is good. The maid is training him, and his subordinates are training him too. He is a dignified lieutenant. Where can he put his face? But Ding Yunyi is now "dare to be angry but dare not speak". He is preparing to give birth to a child and finding a midwife. He has not interfered at all.
It was the maids and subordinates who took care of it.
"Third brother, please keep these ten taels of silver first."
"What to do?" Ding Yunyi glared.
Qin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The child was born successfully, so why shouldn't the midwife give her a wedding gift? Rachel Sha gave me a daughter, and I gave her three taels of silver. You, a great lieutenant general, must be grateful, right?"
"Ah, yes, yes. You are so considerate." Ding Yunyi suddenly realized: "Fourth, your daughter Xiao Zizi looks good to me. When my son is born, it will be good for us to have a son and a daughter."
"Third brother, let's wait until the son is born. My daughter's name is Qin Yexue. Why is she called Little Ye Zi?"
"Same, same. Your third brother, I am uneasy right now, so please don't argue with me about this."
"Deputy Town, Central Plains Urgent Report, Li Ni Zicheng... won't listen, won't listen." Ding Yunyi interrupted Cai Jiuzhou: "Now that I have a son, Li Zicheng has nothing to do with me. We will talk about it after the son is born."
Han Xiaotu's scream came from inside. After a while, he saw Xiaotu coming out. Ding Yunyi hurriedly grabbed him: "My good little Tu, how is my wife?"
"Sister-in-law is fighting, don't block the way." Even Xiaotu started to teach Ding Yunyi a lesson at this time: "I have never seen you so nervous before. Now that I have given birth, you seem to be the only one who is nervous."
"There are no rules, no rules." Ding Yunyi could only laugh at himself in embarrassment: "Why are my Ding family so unruly? When I am free one day, I must take care of it!"
Ah Hu looked at Ding Yunyi with disdain. This brother-in-law had nothing to say when he went to war, but when had he ever taken care of family affairs?
The cry of "Wow-Wow--" came out.
"It's born, it's born!"
Ding Yunyi jumped up. If Qin Yun and Cai Jiuzhou hadn't worked together to hold him back, he would have rushed in on the spot.
"It's born, it's born, sir!" After a while, the midwife came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, you have a son!"
Ding Yunyi was startled at first, and then laughed "haha", his tone full of showing off: "How is it? How is it? I said it was my son, I said it was my son!"
After saying that, he quickly took out his money and thanked the midwife, and then said hurriedly: "Where is my son? Where is my son?"
The midwife smiled and said: "It's a mess inside and is being cleaned. Please be patient, sir. You can go in in a while."
After anxiously waiting for a stick of incense, the voice "You can come in" finally came from inside. Ding Yunyi raised his foot and was about to go in. Suddenly he saw those subordinates who wanted to follow him and glared: "What are you fooling around about?"
?I’ll wait outside for you.”
He rushed in excitedly and saw Han Xiaoxiao lying on the bed with messy hair, but looking at him with a smile: "I finally lived up to my husband and gave the Ding family a daughter."
"My daughter is good, my daughter is considerate." Ding Yunyi looked hypocritical.
This sentence only received blank stares from the women in the room.
Ding Yunyi smiled and glanced at Ah Xi, whose belly was also bulging: "Our Ah Xi's baby will definitely be a well-behaved daughter."
She couldn't wait to look at the infant son in Lu Hui's hands. How could Lu Hui understand the adults' thoughts? She held the infant son in front of the adults and said, "Adult, please give me a hug. Be careful."
"Ah, ah...be careful, be careful..." Ding Yunyi hugged his son carefully, as if he was as heavy as a thousand men. What kind of army is it? Long Ya is just like him when compared with his son at this moment.
As light as a feather.
"Like me, like me." With his son in hand, Ding Yunyi smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Suddenly he thought of something and said with a smile: "Madam, the brothers are all waiting outside to see our son... Han Xiaoxiao
He nodded with a smile: "Be careful, sister Axi, you should follow your husband... As if holding a peerless treasure, Ding Yunyi walked out cautiously. Not long after, a cheer came out. The generals surrounded the swaddling baby
The baby kept looking at it like a rare object.
"Third brother, it's time to choose a name." Qin Yun reminded from the side.
"Ah, yes, it's time to pick a name." Ding Yunyi thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable name. He frowned and said: "Fourth, you are Jie Yuan, help me think of one."
Qin Yun closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of a suitable one. His subordinates were talking a lot and had any ideas. Bao Juhua suddenly said: "I was born in Taiwan, so I might as well call him Ding."
Forget it Taiwan.”
There was a burst of laughter, and Ding Yunyi was so angry that he said "get out" several times.
"Sir, Master Ye and Mrs. Ye are here."
"Ah, my sister and her husband are here?" Ding Yunyi hurriedly greeted him.
After a while, Ye Yuan and Ding Biyue were brought in. As soon as Ding Biyue came in, she asked: "Where is my nephew?"
He took the child from Ah Xi's hand and looked at it non-stop. He seemed to love him even more than his own son.
"Xiang Wen, have you chosen a name yet?" Ye Yuan asked at the side.
"Brother-in-law, I am troubled by this matter."
Ding Biyue teased her nephew without raising her head: "You are the Yun generation, the Ding family's seniority ranking, 'The Qiji seeks the distance, the clouds travel and the rain is harmonious'. My nephew's generation happens to be the Xing generation."
Ah? Is there another saying? Ding Yunyi only knew it for the first time.
Ding Biyue added: "Originally, it was my father who gave me the name. Since my father is not here, let me let your brother-in-law help me choose a name."
Ye Yuan thought about it for a while: "The writing was originally good, but there is a word in the character Yun Yi, but it can no longer be used. The ancient saying goes, 'Action comes from thinking', which means that success in acting or handling problems lies in careful thinking.
, I think let’s call it Xingsi.”
"Xingsi? Ding Xingsi?" Although Ding Yunyi thought the name was a bit weird, it was given by his brother-in-law, so he could only use it.
"As for this word, when Xingsi goes to school in the future, I'll start with him."
What Ye Yuan said first, what Ding Yunyi responded to.
"Okay, okay." Ding Biyue hugged her nephew: "The name has been chosen, and you have seen it. Don't let Xingsi catch a cold."
As he said that, he didn't care about anyone else, and walked in with his nephew in his arms.
Sister, that's my son, Ding Yunyi murmured in his heart, and suddenly remembered Cai Jiuzhou's words just now: "What did you say happened to Li Zicheng just now?"
Cai Jiuzhou then said: "After Gao Ni Yingxiang's death, Li Ni Zicheng was elected as the 'King of Chuang' by the bandits. He then defeated Yu Chongxiao, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, and captured Mizhi, Yan'an, and Suide. Li Zicheng traveled in Jin day, and went there
Paying homage to his father and fellow countrymen, those who follow him will benefit everyone. Later, Li Zicheng led his army from Fengxiang to cross the Weihe River, defeated the Ming army in Baoji, and advanced to Jingyang and Sanyuan.
The soldiers turned into dragons and attacked, and after seven days of fighting, Li Zicheng's army was defeated. The scorpion block surrendered to the imperial court; he crossed Tianxing and walked to Henan; Li Zicheng led the remaining seventeen troops to gather in Weinan. He is currently leading his troops to Qinzhou."
Ding Yunyi nodded, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Gather the generals to discuss matters."
I already have a son, and everything is stable in Taiwan. Now it’s time to set my sights further afield. (To be continued)
