There is an obvious problem with this edict, that is, Liu Yongxi has long been the general of Jingkou Town. The imperial court appointed him as the general of Linhuai Town last year, but it took several months to lead the troops to leave the Linhuai Pass station. Since the imperial court did not give Liu Yongxi a new title, everyone just called him the general of Linhuai Town as usual.

However, in this edict, Empress Zhang still called Liu Yongxi the General of Jingkou Town. Although this was a very obvious mistake, everyone had already seen the determination of Empress Zhang to share the court with the Hongguang court to fight against the court, so he did not recognize the position of General of Linhuai Town given to Liu Yongxi by the Hongguang court, but still called Liu Yongxi the General of Jingkou Town.

But everyone is more concerned about the title of Duke of Yue. No matter from any aspect, Empress Zhang does not have the power to appoint Liu Yongxi as Duke of Yue. But everyone thinks that it is completely reasonable for Empress Zhang to do this. After all, she has already enthroned two emperors, and now she is just acquitted by Duke of Yue. What does it matter if it is just appointing Duke of Yue?

However, there was already a Duke of Yue in this dynasty, that is, Hu Dahai, who died in Bayong Tower in Jinhua at the beginning of the country. However, Hu Dahai, the Duke of Yue, was only given to him after the founding of the country, and because Hu Dahai's eldest son was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone was wondering what was going on.

Everyone does not think that there was a Duke of Yue at the beginning of the country, so Empress Zhang could not enthrone Liu Yongxi as Duke of Yue.

The Duke of Chengguo in this dynasty was reported to have twelve of nine generations. The last Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen died in the capital by bandits. However, the Hongguang court still enthroned Liu Kongzhao as Duke Chengguo. Although "Duke Chengguo" and "Duke Chengguo" have different pronunciations, this is very similar to the situation of Duke Yue.

What everyone is concerned about is the implicit meaning of the title of Duke Yue. After all, Zhejiang is abbreviated as "Yue", which is equivalent to conferring the entire province of Zhejiang to Liu Yongxi, and Empress Zhang's sage is in Zhejiang. This duke's weight is much heavier than that of ordinary dukes.

Moreover, Hu Dahai captured Wuzhou, Zhuji, Chuzhou, Yanzhou and other places during the reign of Emperor Taizu, which was almost the same as the three prefectures of Jinqu, which are occupied by Queen Zhang's camp today. And more importantly, Hu Dahai was killed by rebels in Bayong Tower of Jinhua. Now Empress Zhang is moving to Jinhua, and everyone suddenly understands it.

Considering that Liu Yongxi escorted Queen Zhang thousands of miles to travel south, and that Empress Zhang moved to Yanziji and Jinhua were the first contributions to Liu Yongxi, the more everyone thought about it, the more they understood that Queen Zhang relied Duke Yue as the Great Wall.

As the saying goes, "The world is safe, pay attention to the minister, pay attention to the danger of the world, pay attention to the general." Usually, Empress Zhang often speaks with Zhu Dadian, Zhang Guowei, and Tong Yili: "I am just a wife, just discuss these things with Xiaochengyi Bo and settle them!"

Although Liu Yongxi is not in Jinhua, Empress Zhang always mentions the name Liu Yongxi. Many people think that Empress Zhang is holding Liu Yongxi's army under Liu Yongxi's command to respect herself, but now it seems that it is completely different. She really attaches importance to the newly released Duke of Yue.

The Duke of Yue Liu Yongxi was indeed the Great Wall of Queen Zhang's camp. At the beginning of the year, he and Mrs. Xing's strength almost doubled. It is said that there are 20,000 soldiers under his command.

This time, tens of thousands of Qing Dynasty troops went south to Huaiyang and drove straight in. Only the Duke of Yue Liu Yongxi won several battles. However, because Li Benshen, Yang Chengzu, and Liu Liangzuo successively surrendered to the enemy, Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing were forced to cross the river, but the strength of the army under their command did not suffer much loss and it is said that they were ready to enter Zhejiang in large quantities.

Considering that Liu Yongxi was born in Chengyi Bo Mansion and was a loyal and kind person for generations, he was not only the first hero of Empress Zhang's southward journey, but also the first meritorious person for protecting the emperor several times. In addition, he is now the Prince of Chengguo, and without the imperial edict of Empress Zhang, he could become the hereditary Duke of Chengguo. Now Empress Zhang enthroned Liu Yongxi as Duke of Yue several years in advance.

Now Queen Zhang's camp has 23 prefectures and 23 counties in central Zhejiang and has the opportunity to control more territory. The only flaw is that the troops in hand are too few, with a total force of only a few thousand people, and the field troops that are really available are pitifully few, so a battalion of Queen's personal army had to be reorganized.

After Liu Yongxi led the army into Zhejiang, the situation changed completely, and there was no need to look at the expressions of Hangzhou people. Therefore, Queen Zhang's camp quickly figured out and made a sound of praise. Even Shi Chaoding, the inner minister, came out to vent: "The empress meant that the Duke of Yue made great contributions to the country and should be rewarded with great rewards, but he was too young, so he had to suppress it first!"

Everyone has understood what Shi Chaoding said, and Queen Zhang’s meaning is too obvious.

Liu Yongxi is now the Duke of Yue, and he is almost insignificant. How can we talk about "suppressing first when you are too young?" After all, the duke of this dynasty is already at the upper limit. Although there are several kings of different surnames, they are all posthumously conferred after their death. This shows the kindness of Queen Zhang towards Duke of Yue.

But only in this way can the tens of thousands of troops of Duke Liu Yongxi of Yue be truly used by the court. Therefore, ministers such as Zhu Dadian, Zhang Guowei and Tong Yili submitted memorials to express their approval, thinking that supporting King Lu in Hangzhou was the ultimate strategy. If Duke Liu Yongxi of Yue is in charge of the country, he would support whoever he wanted to support in Jinhua, and there was no need to look at outsiders' eyes.

After all, in the eyes of Donglin and Liu Zongzhou, Lu Wang is a rare product, but with Liu Yongxi's full support, Jinhua felt that Lu Wang was almost useless to be famous.

But Hangzhou doesn't think so. They repeatedly stated that Lu Wang is the best candidate, and they still want to incorporate the Central Zhejiang side. However, when Hangzhou is feeling good, the latest news comes.

On May 9th, the Qing army surrendered general Zhang Tianlu, and Yang Chengzu crossed the river in Guazhou as the forehand, and easily defeated the Jiang waterproofing division Zheng Hongkui's troops on Jinshan on the other side. Although Zheng Hongkui defeated the army with artillery artillery and artillery, he showed great victory every day, but when he met the real Qing army, he was about to collapse and the entire army collapsed. The Qing army immediately occupied Zhenjiang.

As soon as he heard that the Qing army had captured Zhenjiang, Emperor Hongguang took Ma Shiying without hesitation in the early morning of May 10th. Ruan Dacheng hurriedly fled, not only did not make any arrangements, but also did not notify other ministers and ministers of the court.

Emperor Hongguang's escape speed really made the Qing army sigh. After all, the Qing army's vanguard team arrived at the city of Nanjing on the 14th, and the main force of the Qing army officially arrived on the 15th, and Duoduo officially entered the city on the 17th.

However, when Emperor Hongguang ran away, people were naturally distorted. The garrison minister Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi and Duke of Wei Xu Jiujue, Duke of Longping Zhang Gongri, Grand Secretary Wang Duo, Cai Yichen, Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi, Li Zhan, and others opened the city gate and welcomed Duoduo's army into the city.
