Chapter 90 Suicide
Liu Yongxi is really hard to answer this question. In another time and space, Zhang Xianzhong has been trapped in the Sichuan and waiting for death. From a certain perspective, the policies and responses adopted by Zhang Xianzhong in the Sichuan are even worse than waiting for death.
However, with the huge variable of the emergence of the Ming Dynasty in Yue, whether Zhang Xianzhong will always be in the middle of Sichuan has become a big question. After all, the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong was a thief who was as famous as Li Zicheng back then, but Liu Yongxi still maintained a relatively optimistic attitude: "Now Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and others are all in Sichuan. Although they are under the banner of King Fu, we can definitely fight for these people!"
Strictly speaking, the Sichuan Ming generals, including Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan, used to be under the banner of King Fu. Now many people have changed the banner of King Tang. However, under the foundation of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in the southeast of the country of Yueming, they have completely fought for these Sichuan Ming generals. Empress Zhang felt that what Liu Yongxi said was very much: "With these righteous teachers restraining them in Sichuan, even if Zhang Xianzhong leaves Sichuan, it is not a problem!"
However, Ajige's idea was completely opposite to Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi. They were trying every means to make Zhang Xianzhong leave Sichuan: "The biggest problem now is that Chongqing Prefecture and other places are under the hands of the Ming army. We must think of more ways to invite the Eight Kings out of Sichuan!"
Zhang Xianzhong's power in Sichuan has reached its limit this spring, but it has been going downhill in the past two months. It is said that the bandit Zhang Xianzhong is already considering whether to stay in Sichuan or return to Shaanxi.
This is a very normal idea for the thief, but since Zhang Xianzhong had already founded and became emperor in Sichuan and had once occupied the entire Sichuan, this thief idea would naturally become an important reason for his failure. Wu Sangui immediately gave Ajige his advice: "Give Wuchang to him, Zhang Xianzhong has always been thinking about Wuchang City!"
Capturing the provincial capital of Wuchang can be said to be a major turning point in Zhang Xianzhong's life. Zhang Xianzhong has always been obsessed with Wuchang City, and King Ajige of the British was also very interested in this matter: "I can write a handwritten letter to Zhang Xianzhong, but how can I make Zhang Xianzhong believe that I have the sincerity to give Wuchang City to him?"
Wu Sangui laughed: "If Zhang Xianzhong takes over Wuchang City, he will first defeat the 300,000 thieves in Jingzhou Prefecture!"
Ajige already understood that if Zhang Xianzhong wanted to leave Sichuan, he would have to clash with the so-called 300,000 thieves in Jingzhou Prefecture, and King Ajige even thought of a more vicious idea: "I can give him Jingzhou Prefecture to him, and I can also tell Zhang Xianzhong that the wife of Zhenyi in Jingzhou is preparing to enter Sichuan to integrate various Ming troops!"
Although the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army were once allies in history, after hearing the news of Li Zicheng's failure at Shanhaiguan, Zhang Xianzhong completely turned against the Dashun Army and attacked the Dashun Army in major events. Although the Dashun Army in Jingzhou has now been renamed Zhongzhen Camp and Empress Dowager Gao also renamed "First-Prince Zhenyi", the grudge between the two sides last year has not been resolved.
Now Empress Dowager Gao regards herself as the spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty of Yue, and the activities of Zhongzhen Camp in Jingzhou will definitely affect Zhang Xianzhong's operation in Sichuan. Ajige feels that as long as she adds something to it, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely make a big move out of Sichuan at any cost.
Just when Ajige wanted to supplement the plan, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside. Then a bloody Eight Banners soldier rushed in and said loudly: "King Ying, something is not good. Jin Shenghuan launched a rebellion in Jiangxi and announced that he had supported Emperor Longwu of Mingguo!"
Jin Shenghuan?
Ajige was startled, then he was happy: "What did you say? Jin Shenghuan announced that he was supporting the Ming Dynasty?"
The Eight Banners soldiers who came to report the message did not understand why Ajige laughed out loud: "King Ying, Jin Shenghuan announced his support for Emperor Longwu of Mingguo!"
Ajig was excitedly slapped the table: "Okay, okay, Admiral Kim did a pretty job, this thing is done well!"
If Jin Shenghuan announced his support for the Ming Dynasty in Yue, it would naturally be a fatal blow to the Qing army in Huguang. However, if he announced his support for Emperor Longwu, the situation not only did not deteriorate, but was developing in a direction that was very beneficial to Ajige.
Ajige laughed: "Isn't it just a rebellion of Jin Shenghuan? There are no Eight Banners soldiers in Jiangxi Province, and they are all Green Camp soldiers and the New Affiliated Army. Let's give Jinhua thieves a headache!"
For Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming army who had just entered Nanjing, Jin Shenghuan was a sudden news in Jiangxi. What's more important is that Jin Shenghuan announced that he supported Emperor Longwu, the King of Tang, rather than the Yue Ming Dynasty that had just obtained orthodox status.
Not only important officials like Zhang, Zhang Guowei, and Zhu Dadian could not understand Jin Shenghuan's choice, but even Liu Yongxi felt that Jin Shenghuan was just making trouble. Under the current situation, Jin Shenghuan supported Emperor Longwu, which was naturally the most wrong choice in life, just like Jin Shenghuan suddenly got into the water and attacked Ganzhou.
However, Liu Yongxi quickly discovered what happened in Nanchang. Jin Shenghuan was even two days a morning before the Ming Dynasty recaptured Nanjing. What’s more important is that in the situation at that time, there were still 100,000 Qing troops in Jiangnan. It took Liu Yongxi and the Ming Dynasty troops at least ten days and half a month or even longer to recover Nanjing City and the entire Jiangnan. Therefore, Jin Shenghuan made the wrong choice between the Ming Dynasty and the Tang King.
After hearing Liu Yongxi's analysis, Empress Zhang felt that there was room for Jin Shenghuan to fight for: "Since this General Jin has just taken a wrong step, he can naturally fight for him!"
Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "He did not take a wrong step. He made a mistake in every step. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger. And now most of the main force has crossed the river. Jin Shenghuan will have more ideas when he has a chance to slow down!"
Although it has been decided that Zhou Zhisheng, Wang Puxiang, and Zhang Huangyan will be responsible for the defense of Jiangbei, the premise is to completely eliminate the Qing army in Jiangbei. Therefore, while paying homage to Xiaoling, Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi ordered the main force of Yue Ming army to start crossing the river and strive to eliminate the remaining enemies in Jiangbei.
But no one expected that most of the main forces of the Ming army of Yue had just arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and such shocking news came from Jiangxi.
Although Zhejiang and Fujian did not recognize each other in the past, they never complained. However, when Jin Shenghuan had such a relationship, the minor court of Yue Ming naturally regarded Jin Shenghuan as the number one enemy. Empress Zhang immediately asked: "Do you want to transfer the troops across the river back first? Now Jin Shenghuan is the number one enemy of this dynasty!"
Liu Yongxi said calmly: "The confrontation between the north and the south in all dynasties was at least based on the Huai River as the boundary. Only by taking over Xuzhou can we take the initiative. Now that the army has just crossed the river, we cannot let them fail!"
Queen Zhang couldn't help but frown and asked, "Xiao Xi means to prepare to expedition the west in person? But just entering Nanjing City, there are still many things that cannot be done!"
If we look at the problem purely from the orthodox perspective, the Ming Dynasty of Yue could be said to have lost a lot, but because of this, after taking Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty of Yue needed to make up for it. Liu Yongxi, as the protagonist of this series of rituals, naturally could not leave Nanjing. After all, this series of rituals only completed the worship of Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Liu Yongxi also knew that he could not leave Nanjing for the time being: "Then let Jin Shenghuan celebrate the New Year first. After the Nandu was restored, the soldiers fought for more than half a year, and they really needed a little rest!"
Although there was a June this year, the rise of the Ming Dynasty was still an incredible miracle.
It has only been seven or eight months since the Ming Dynasty’s rebellion in Jinhua in May. However, the Ming Dynasty’s army won many battles and repeatedly, and in August it regained the provincial capital Hangzhou. In early December of the first year of Hongzhi, in December of the second year of Shunzhi, it regained Nanjing and completely expelled the Qing army from Jiangnan.
However, the Ming army of Yue had almost no rest during the seven or eight months, and now it really needs a little rest. And there is too much business to deal with after capturing Nanjing.
A most typical example is that the Ming Dynasty of Yue and the Lu Jianguo in history have been using the first year of Hongguang, but Emperor Hongguang has already died on the battlefield and it is impossible to continue to use the Hongguang reign next year. Naturally, the monarch and ministers must reach a consensus on this issue. It is December now, and there is not much time left.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty court of Yue had always been a turf team, and it also formed two central institutions that coexisted in the front and rear. Although it was very efficient, there were too many problems. After conquering Nanjing, it would definitely carry out large-scale restructuring and adjustment.
There are too many similar problems. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's failure is largely because of such a transformation that almost completely failed. Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang naturally do not want to be the second Li Zicheng, so Empress Zhang can only say with great regret: "This kind of person with no eyes can even have a good New Year. It's really unfair to heaven!"
Queen Zhang felt that this was a regret.
If Queen Zhang was always a little nervous when the first rebellion was launched, she became more and more confident with the victory after victory of the Ming army of Yue, and now that the Ming army of Yue had recovered Nanjing and revived Jiangnan, she felt that she was indeed the daughter of destiny.
However, although Jin Shenghuan committed suicide, he actually went to the Tang King, who had not had many days to serve, but did not take Queen Zhang, the daughter of destiny, seriously, which made Queen Zhang really angry. Liu Yongxi immediately said very clearly: "Although we can't send troops to attack Jiangxi immediately, we won't let him have a good New Year. In Jiangxi, we have Wang Sunfan, and Anhui also Jin Sheng Jin Shangshu!"
After Liu Yongxi said this, Empress Zhang immediately understood: "Yes, there are still tens of thousands of Qing troops in Jiangxi Province. Now Jin Shenghuan is right, but the other Qing troops have not been corrected yet. Notify Wang Futai and Jin Shangshu that as long as they have not joined our army, they will be Qing troops who are trying to escape through the banner of anyway. They must not raise tigers for trouble!"
