the establishment

How should Zhang Xuan answer this question?

To be honest, Zhang Xuan had not thought about this matter before, but now he really has not thought much about it. The reason is very simple. Because the thing was so sudden, Zhang Xuan may have had such a sign in his mind, but he has not conducted a detailed analysis.

The overwhelming number of things alone is enough to keep Zhang Xuan busy.

Various changes occurred in Yunnan, Sichuan, and Xiangyang, especially the incredible changes in the battlefield in Jiangnan. Almost every step of the Qing army's progress made Zhang Xuan overturn countless of his plans.

Under such circumstances, the ambition for the throne was just a hidden foreshadowing and was not revealed.

Because Zhang Xuan knew that if he could turn the tide, it would be his own things. If he couldn't do it, then like the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, what's the point of dying after just having fun?

So strength can support ambition.

But if someone else asked Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan would definitely say no in an upright manner. But when asked by the person next to him, he didn't know what to say.

"Yujiao." Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "It would be hypocritical to say that I don't have this idea, but I am determined not to kill my eldest brother just for the sake of the throne. You have also fought in a war. Under this situation,

Can you act rashly?"

Luo Yujiao lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I believe you."

"Wow." came the child's cry.

Only then did Zhang Xuan think of An'er. Aunt Tian brought the child over. Zhang Xuan, Luo Yujiao, and An'er were sitting together. Although the naughty An'er met Zhang Xuan for the first time, it seemed to be the nature of father and son. Meeting An'er

He was not nervous even though he was holding Zhang Xuan, even though in Luo Yujiao's arms, his hands were flailing around and they hit Zhang Xuan's face.

Zhang Xuan received two pink punches from An Er, but his heart was filled with joy. It seemed that the crisis in the world was nothing for a moment. As long as the family of three was together, the world was not important.

Just after returning to Wuchang, Zhang Xuan received two pieces of news one after another.

The first news was that Luo Yulong named Zhang Xuan Prince Zheng, envoy of the Privy Council, and also received orders from the cabinet.

The second news was that the city of Yangzhou was destroyed and Luo Yulong died.

These two pieces of news were like a bolt from the blue.

I have to say that although many things have been anticipated before, when they actually happen, they are still unacceptable.

After Zhang Xuan heard the news, the first thing he wanted to see was Luo Yujiao. But Luo Yujiao avoided seeing him.

Aunt Tian stopped Zhang Xuan and said, "The girl said she doesn't want to see you."

Zhang Xuan said: "Auntie, what's wrong with Yujiao?"

Aunt Tian said: "Uncle, please let the girl calm down."

Zhang Xuan also felt very sad. This was the first time that Luo Yujiao had avoided seeing him since he married Luo Yujiao.

But faced with such a situation, Zhang Xuan didn't know how to explain it.

Some things can be explained clearly theoretically, but can they be explained clearly emotionally?

"General." Zheng Lian said softly from behind: "General Li Dingguo is here to report that there is something strange happening in Yunnan."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly and said: "What is supposed to come will definitely come." Then he asked Aunt Tian: "Take good care of Yujiao, and come to see her again when I am done."

After a while, all the information about Yunnan was gathered in Zhang Xuan's hands.

Zhang Xuan glanced at it lightly and said: "It seems that Sun Kewang has made up his mind."

Yao Qisheng said: "Will the general send a support army to Guiyang?"

After Zhang Xuan established himself in Wuchang, he attracted the people around him who could be used, and Yao Qisheng became his general and chief of staff.

Zhang Xuan asked back: "Now, can we mobilize people and horses?"

Yao Qisheng sighed in his heart and stopped talking.

All the troops in Zhang Xuan's hands have been scattered in various places. The mobile troops gathered in Wuchang are only one hundred thousand, and these one hundred thousand are ready to support all parties at any time. We must not move lightly, otherwise the front line will be slightly behind.

It's a mistake, and there's not even a chance to make amends.

Zhang Xuan said: "Let Cao Zongyu mobilize Guangxi wolf soldiers and enter Guizhou to support him for a while."

Although Zhang Xuan knew whether Cao Zongyu's temporary gathering of tens of thousands of people was reliable or not, Zhang Xuan had no choice.

Yao Qisheng said: "General Cao and General Li are generals. Although there are changes in Yunnan, it does not affect the overall situation for a while. There is an issue today that is extremely important. We must make a quick decision."

Zhang Xuan said: "What's the matter?"

Yao Qisheng said: "It is an issue of orthodoxy in the world. Your Majesty is in trouble, and the whole world is sad. His Majesty's funeral affairs need to be handled."

Zhang Xuan thought of Luo Yujiao again, feeling a little sad in his heart. He nodded and said: "Okay, you can take care of this matter. However, the military situation is urgent now and the cost is tight. Your Majesty's mountain mausoleum will be the first to start, and the rest will be left for now.

Just drag it."

Although the uncle Luo Yulong and Zhang Xuan have a sworn relationship, they are not very close to each other. But they are comrades fighting side by side after all.

Luo Yulong's death still made Zhang Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not that Zhang Xuan didn't want Luo Yujiao to take care of things, but that most of Daxia's finances came from the southeast, and most of them were used in the Northern Expedition or became spoils of war for the Qing court.

However, the cost of building an imperial mausoleum was too much, so Zhang Xuan could only make a start and wait until the finances became more abundant in the future to build it slowly. Anyway, it was normal for an imperial mausoleum to take several years to be built.

"Now that your majesty's funeral arrangements have been taken care of, the country cannot live without a king for a day. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. When the Donglu are aggressive, it is even more important to correct the name to calm people's hearts." Yao Qisheng said.

Zhang Xuan's heart moved. He guessed what Yao Qisheng wanted to say. But he asked with some knowing knowledge: "What does Mr. Yao mean?"

Yao Qisheng lifted up his hem, knelt on the ground, and said: "General, I ask you to respond to Heaven's will and personnel matters, and ascend to the throne as soon as possible to rectify people's hearts."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. His Majesty has just been killed, and the two princes still don't know what the situation is. How could I do this?"

Yao Qisheng said: "General, you have to think about the people of the world. The country is in such a difficult situation and it is time for an eldest king. However, the late emperor only had the eldest princess and his majesty's daughter and son. His majesty died, and the general became the eldest princess's son-in-law. Since then,

Should inherit the throne."

Zhang Xuan said: "No need to say more."

When Zhang Xuan came, he couldn't accept it. He was worried about Luo Yujiao's mood. Luo Yulong died here, and Zhang Xuan was about to ascend the throne. Luo Yujiao was caught between them, whether she was happy or sad. Zhang Xuan couldn't figure out at all.

Secondly, this is also customary.

Even if Zhang Xuan wants to ascend the throne, he still needs to apply three times and resign three times.

It can be considered an inevitable process.

Yao Qisheng's private request seemed to be a start, and the generals and officials below, as if they had received some revelation, began to persuade him to join.

At this time, Zhang Xuan might not be able to remember whoever persuaded him to come in, but whoever didn't persuade him to come in might be jealous.

Therefore, there is one, jointly or individually, one by one supports it.

For a while, no one seemed to care about Jiangnan's affairs.

At the same time, Kunming, Yunnan.

Sun Kewang was taking oath and setting off. More than 200,000 troops left Kunming and marched toward Guizhou in a mighty manner.

This time, Sun Kewang tried his best.

For Sun Kewang, the fall of Nanjing was almost a God-given opportunity. As he thought, at this time, the Xia army had no ability to fight on both sides.

Sun Kewang naturally wanted to add insult to injury.

It is necessary to carve out the largest piece among Xia Dynasty's corpses.

And this time Sun Kewang took the name of Yongli, and in this way Sun Kewang transformed into a Ming army.

With the help of the remaining prestige of the Ming army, there was a huge uproar in the southwest for a while, and even some remnants of the Ming army in southern Sichuan also responded.

It seems that there is war everywhere. Coupled with Wu Sangui's siege of Chongqing, it can be said that from Xinyang to Xiangyang, from Chongqing to Guizhou, everything is in flames of war.

The Qing army also took the opportunity to expand in all directions and approached Jiangxi. Even the ministries under Zhang Xuan's command had already come into contact with the Qing army.

It can be said that Zhang Xuan was at a disadvantage in terms of strategy. For a while, he could only parry. Although he had some mobile troops, he was unable to counterattack.
