"Yellow River!"

Yang Qing pointed to the sand table and said, "We must advance to the Yellow River. The First Army immediately went north along the Yellow River. Since Kaifeng City has been destroyed, we should seize Zhengzhou directly. Don't worry about Yuan Zongdi and send someone to tell him that we will not pass Hulao Pass, but we will be outside Hulao Pass."

The cabinet bosses looked at each other.

Then they all nodded to express satisfaction.

"But should we welcome the Lord back?"

Zhang Guowei said.

Obviously they want to make a fortune, too.

Yang Qing's domineering now is actually because this guy controls the governor. Although life without the emperor is indeed very free and happy, compared with restricting Yang Qing's power, it is more cost-effective to welcome the emperor. Even in the current situation, even if he welcomes the emperor, he will be Yang Qing's puppet. But after all, there is room for operation. The young emperor will definitely not be willing to be a puppet all the time. They can form an alliance with the emperor to fight with Yang Qing. Now they can't fight even if they want to! They are engaged couples, and they can't get in!

"Welcome, of course!"

Yang Qing said.

"The Emperor's Mausoleum has been completed. Your Majesty should return south to fulfill his responsibilities as the Son of Man!"

He continued.

Chongzhen's tomb could only be built in Nanjing. As for his wife to move in the future, according to the Ministry of Rites, it was located on Zhongshan, not far from Xiaoling. It was finally completed in a few months of attack, and the tomb title has been confirmed as Anling. He has not had a few comfortable days in his life, and in the end his wife and children were separated and died of murder. This was also what made him rest in peace. As for the temple name Liezong, this was also proposed by Zhang Shenyan as in history.

But in history, Hongguang didn’t have a good impression of his brother, but in the end he changed it to a not so good Sizong.

Being meritorious and sacrificing the people is called harsh, and being virtuous and respecting one’s cause is called harsh.

Recalling the past is thought of.

This shows Hongguang's resentment towards his cousin.

As for welcoming the emperor back...

That was pure fantasy. If there was no one million stones of grain per year, perhaps Li Zicheng would consider accepting some exchanges, but if there was this grain, don’t expect it at all. Li Zicheng was not stupid. Could he ask for food from Jiangnan just because he had such a special hostage? Without the emperor, Yang Qing was not a fool. How could he give him one million stones of grain per year?

Now Li Zicheng needs food even more, so as long as Li Zicheng's regime does not collapse, Zhu Cilang will not expect to escape from the clutches!

Since this is the case, let's do a show.

"This matter should be presided over by the Ministry of Rites..."

Yang Qing said.

Then he was interrupted again.

"Reporting to the Zhongyong Marquis, Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan and slaughtered the officials, gentry and merchants in the city. The Mongolian army fled east to Zhili, Jiang Guan and the remnants of Taiyuan Merchant fled south to Zelu, Li Zicheng swept Shanxi and went south to Huozhou, and he used Liu Zongmin to guard Taiyuan, Li Laiheng to guard Weizhou, and divided his troops to guard the various passes of Taihang Mountain. The Qing Duoduo tribe went south, and the north to Zhili surrendered, and it was estimated that it was approaching the Yellow River at this time. Yuan Zongdi sent the sage to Xi'an and divided his troops to guard Heyang and Zhengzhou."

A staff officer report.

"When they look at the wind, they fall, and they fall, two years ago, they look at the wind and welcome Li Zicheng, and now they look at the wind and welcome Jiannu. This is what Confucius said, Chengren and Meng said, "To take righteousness? After raising scholars in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, they raised such a group of dogs?"

Yang Qing was deeply moved.

The civil servants smiled awkwardly.

However, they don’t know much about our Qing Dynasty now, and they don’t know the benefits of our Qing Dynasty. After all, because of the fact that North Korea shaves hair and changes clothes, the gentry of Jiangnan is generally not interested in Dorgon. These guys are indeed not loyal to the Zhu family, and they are actually not very resistant to surrendering to the foreign race. After all, the ancestors have not done anything, but shaves hair and change clothes and things like wearing them have exceeded their tolerance. Therefore, in history, the Yangtze River defense line collapsed overnight, but after shaves hair and changing clothes, the Qing army had to face Jiangyin’s rather than surrender and the tenacious resistance in the southeast for many years. After all, the gentry of Jiangnan does not care about dynasty changes or the rule of foreign races, but they still care about cultural heritage and what the ancestors left behind.

"The Zhongyong Hou, Fengyang Mansion, reported to the Fengyang Mansion, and the envoy went to Fengyang."

Another adviser reported.

"Send it to you!"

Yang Qing, Shi Kefa and others looked at each other and said.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Now Jiannu has entered the pass and occupied the Northern Capital. Zhang Nibei invaded to see Hanzhong. I am uneasy in the west, so I went to the west to comfort the people. The King of Qin took the vassal of Xi'an and led his troops to protect the emperor. The affairs of Guandong were all entrusted to Nanjing to supervise the country. The ministers of Nanjing ordered the Northern Expedition to recover the Northern Capital..."

At Pukou Wharf, Gong Dingzi read out the imperial edict.

However, at this time, Mr. Gong obviously no longer had the last passion, and he looked vicissitudes and loneliness. After all, he was still quite hit during this period. Last time, he was full of passion and returned home in glory, but the new king was forced to retreat in a blink of an eye and even his nest was raided, causing him to wander and run to Luoyang. He did not even have enough food to travel along the way. Moreover, because of his evil deeds of surrendering to Li Zicheng as a minion, his clan actually held a meeting to expel him from the family. This is the most severe punishment for the gentry, and it can basically be described as a disgrace. At this moment, he actually came to Nanjing again...

This is a completely exhibition!

"The imperial edict has no jade seal, so I dare not receive the edict!"

Shi Kefa said.

"The emperor Daxing ordered the King of Qin to be the capital of Beijing to resist Jiannu. Now Jiannu is stealing the capital of the Northern Capital. The King of Qin should lead his troops to counterattack and regain the lost territory. Why did he run west to Guanzhong to avoid the enemy? Even if the situation is critical, Your Majesty should return to the Southern Capital to safeguard the world. Xi'an is not the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but the fief of the King of Qin. How can Your Majesty be livable? Moreover, the Emperor Daxing's funeral is coming, how can Your Majesty not come? Please refer to the envoy to report to Your Majesty to return to the Southern Capital quickly. I will go north to welcome you!"

He continued.

"Shige Department, Your Majesty has gone to Xi'an. This is the imperial edict, and the imperial edict of the ministers in the southern capital!"

Du Zhizhi said.

"The imperial envoy requested to return, but the imperial edict has no jade seal, so it is not clear whether it is true or false!"

Shi Kefa said.

This imperial edict was given to the governor, but the ministers of the ministers just wanted to refuse to cross the river because the imperial edict had no jade seal. If the governor did not accept it, there would be no respect for the imperial edict or not. Then they used the reason to send troops to take over the emperor, and although they all understood what was going on, this procedure must be included.

Of course, these are all false.

As for the real thing...

"Luoyang counts you."

Yang Qing stood in a nearby restaurant, looked at the scene of receiving the orders below, and said to Ma Bao, who came to pass the orders together.

"We will not attack Luoyang. With Hulao Pass and other passes east of Luoyang as the boundary, Zelu belongs to us, but to the north by Taihang Mountain as the boundary. However, in the short term, you must send troops to help me seize Henan and eastern Shandong and protect the Yellow River transportation line. Otherwise, even if I want to give you food, I will not be able to transport it to you. One million stones of grain will definitely not be transported by land. You must go to Luoyang to go to Xi'an. It's not my business. As for Hanzhong, it's ours, and in the initial agreement, your territory does not include Hanzhong. It's just that you haven't fulfilled the agreement, but this time you have to give up Hanzhong."

He continued.

"Even if we give up, can you accept it?"

Ma Bao said sarcastically.

"That's our own business!"

Yang Qing said.

Of course he knew that Li Zicheng could not give up Hanzhong, but this matter must be explained first, and then he could continue to watch Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong compete for Hanzhong...

The one who was most anxious at this time was Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng's army of 300,000 people entered Guanzhong. Zhang Xianzhong, who had finally got a chance to breathe and could even start attacking Hanzhong, was defeated back to his original state in a blink of an eye. He had to hide back to Sichuan and wait for his southward direction to move south with fear. The situation on the Western Front once again returned to the beginning.

I have to say that Zhang Xianzhong is really unlucky.

Yang Qing was waiting for him to come to admit defeat, and then he just refused to recognize Li Zicheng's rule over Hanzhong, turning Hanzhong into a card table that everyone is playing like the modern Korean Peninsula. When Li Zicheng needed to scare Li Zicheng, he went north with Zhang Xianzhong. Anyway, after fighting for so many years, Hanzhong has basically become a pure battlefield and no man's land.

Other junctions maintain peace and avoid disturbances on the flanks when fighting with the Qing army.

The rest is to force Li Zicheng to develop westward.

There is also a place to the west!

Longyou, Hexi Corridor, and even the Hetao and Hehuang areas are the directions that Li Zicheng can develop. At this time, except for the Hetao area, there are all kinds of messy Mongolians, Yarkand, Junggar, and Heshuote who controls the Tibetan area. These Mongolians are basically a mess, especially because of their different beliefs and are enemies of each other. At this time, Ge Erdan was already born, and soon he will be recognized as the reincarnation of a Buddha and sent to study Buddhism, which will eventually bring the last ray of afterglow to the Buddhist era in the Western Regions...

Then it was completely finished.

Li Zicheng could take advantage of the opportunity of the Mongolian troops being dispersed, and constantly develop and release his power to the west. Those Mongolian tribes could not stop him. These guys could not even defeat the Ming army in the era of Fire Gate Guns! How to deal with the 300,000 Shun army formed by the Spanish square formation, especially Li Zicheng, who also had a large number of cavalry and even started playing with dragon cavalry.

Yang Qing will support him to expand westward.

He was still the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, and at least he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty. The places he captured were naturally from the Ming Dynasty. As for Li Zicheng, he became bigger...

That's not a problem.

What is the kingly way in this era?

Population, education, and industrialization are the kingly ways.

If the Ming Dynasty, which really completed the transformation of Jiangnan, owned the richest land in the world, had more than 100 million people and tens of millions of reserves, was not something that Li Zicheng could resist. Even if he included all the Mongolians in the Western Regions, he would be slag in front of the musketeers that covered the grasslands, so he developed in the west.

Yang Qing will maintain peace with him for at least ten years.

Ten years later, there will be basically no one in this world that can stop the modern Ming Dynasty, and he will be no exception. From the moment he decided to retreat to Guanzhong, he has completely withdrawn from the stage of fighting for hegemony and can only wait for the real overlord to arrive as a separatist force.
Chapter completed!
