Chapter 95 New Dynasty

But for Duoduo and Haoge, the question raised by Daishan was to kill them, so they said without vaguely: "Big Beile, we have already said that there were about 20,000 to 30,000 people who crossed the river and retreated north. Although there were some losses along the way, we finally brought the army back to Xuzhou. We only regretted that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo did not listen to the dispatch, otherwise the situation would not be so bad!"

Dai Shan was furious by Duoduo, and Haoge was furious. This time, Duoduo, Haoge fled north to plunder all the Qing army in Jiangbei that could be plundered. But even so, when they retreated to Xuzhou, there were at most more than 10,000 people, and they were almost all defeated soldiers and were unwilling to confront the Ming army head-on and just wanted to retreat to Shandong.

If he really believed in Duoduo, Haoge withdrew 20,000 to 30,000 troops from Jiangnan, Daishan felt that his great beile was in vain, but he also knew that although he was the nominal great beile and was on par with Huang Taiji back then, it had been a very long history. Now he is just Prince Li, and there is no substantial difference between Prince Yu Duoduo and Prince Su Haoge.

Moreover, he is old. After experiencing so many setbacks, he doesn't even care much about the throne. How could he have had such an idiotic battle with Duoduo and Haoge? Therefore, Haoge quickly figured out: "You say you should withdraw 20,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000, the biggest question now is whether to defend Xuzhou? We still have 30,000 troops under our command. The Regent and the capital also asked us to defend Xuzhou!"

Xuzhou can be said to be a must-fight place between the north and the south. Daishan was originally planning to defend Xuzhou and felt that he could definitely defend Xuzhou. However, when he saw the defeated general of Duoduo and Daishan, he was the first to be disheartened. Duoduo said very clearly: "If the Great Beile must defend Xuzhou, then let the two red flags guard it!"

Dai Shan naturally could not let the two Red Flag soldiers he commanded were lost in Xuzhou, and he also felt that since even Nanjing could not be defended, what is the point of defending Xuzhou: "Then let's go back to Shandong. If we can't use the Huai River as the boundary, we can also consider using the Yellow River as the boundary!"

Although Dai Shan made up his mind to defend Xuzhou, with the 30,000 Qing army members, he was quite sure to defend Xuzhou, the problem was that the three princes had just a little capital, and they lost all their capital in Xuzhou. What was the point of defending Xuzhou?

Daishan once again felt that he was not the son of destiny and was always tortured by fate.

The Jiangnan Dynasty and the people of the country accepted the titles "Emperor Chengtian of the Ming Dynasty" and "Chengtian" almost immediately. Although the New Year was the first year of Chengtian, the literati and poets in Jiangnan now did not use the second year of Shunzhi, nor did they use the titles of the first year of Hongguang and Longwu in the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they used the titles of the Yiyou year of Chengtian in the Ming Dynasty. As for the calendar of Chengtian in the first year of Chengtian, they were even desperately printing.

As for the honorary titles of "The Ming Dynasty, Yingtian, the country, and the country, the country, and the people, "The Ming Dynasty, Shuntian, Empress Changping", were praised in a tide. Although there was no such precedent in both the Ming Dynasty and history, everyone was very clever in praising merits, believing that such a system not only solves orthodox problems but also conforms to the trend of the times. Some people who are fond of things even think that Empress Zhang is too modest and should be given the title of "Empress Dowager".

The only objection comes from the title of "Empress Changping of Ming Dynasty". Although this title has only symbolic meaning, and in a sense, the sun and the moon are hanging together with Zhu Ming's country and inherited from Emperor Chengtian, whether it is a conservative, radical, neutral, the entire Jiangnan Shilin expressed his unanimous objection, believing that Empress Changping's title is harmful but not beneficial, including those conservatives who strongly demand that the Empress and Princess of the Reincarnation of the Reincarnation under the Ming Dynasty system of the Vietnamese Ming Dynasty.

In their eyes, although the title of "The Ming Dynasty Yingtian Supervisor of the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Bingzheng" is a bit inappropriate, it can be accepted at least. However, "The Ming Dynasty Shuntian Changping Empress" is a beast, and there will be endless troubles in the future. In this objection, both Liu Yongxi and Empress Changping decided to take back the fate. Anyway, they already understood the other party's meaning.

Under the suggestion of the ministers, Empress Changping's official title was like Empress Yi'an and Zhang, but the issue that the government and the public are concerned about now is not "fighting for the foundation of the country" or "fighting for the orthodox", but are concerned about personnel issues under the new official system of the Celestial Dynasty.

The Chengtian Dynasty could be described as a "grass-style team", but the situation was different after the construction of Nanjing City. Not only did it add many new cabinet ministers and ministers, but it also set up many new yamen. For example, Qian Qianyi, who was full of rumors all over the city, became the president of the editor of "Qing Guo Ji".

Although this seems to be a idle position, editing national history under the Ming system is actually the fastest way to get promoted, so everyone is cursing Qian Qianyi to offer his wife and seek honor while trying to find the same flaw for himself.

Moreover, there are many newly established yamen that have never been established in the history of the Ming Dynasty, or even unheard of. For example, the Hanlin Academy of Sciences, everyone can't figure out what the Hanlin Academy is like. After inquiring for a long time, they found out that it was the department in charge of all firearms, artillery and military technology.

In the past, this business belonged to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, and was the most inconspicuous small yamen of the Ministry of War. However, now Chengtian Dynasty has established such a new scientific Hanlin Academy outside the Hanlin Academy, and everyone thinks that the situation is completely different.

However, although everyone thinks that this "Science Hanlin Academy" is a freak, and many Hanlin gentry criticized the Science Hanlin Academy with a lot of bad comments, everyone's attention to the "Science Hanlin Academy" has reached a new level. Since His Majesty Chengtian dares to use this name, it means that he hopes that the Science Hanlin Academy can be equally matched with the Hanlin Academy. In the past, the Hanlin was the fastest shortcut to promotion in the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who can get a good position in the Science Hanlin Academy will naturally rise to prominence in the future. However, the newly established yamen in the Tian Dynasty is not just a "Science Hanlin Academy". In addition to the Lifan Academy that restored the Yuan Dynasty, the "Prime Minister's Overseas Affairs Office" was set up, and the specifications were very high.

Although it was early founded in the new dynasty, these new yamen may not be able to go smoothly, but there are yamen, and the Ming army in Yue and Ming dynasties won the two fronts of Jiangxi and Jiangbei, so everyone was naturally enthusiastic.

Liu Yongxi was also making his last strategic plan this year on the map: "I inform the Jiangbei army to arrive in Xuzhou and suspend the pursuit north. It is really a headache for who will guard Xuzhou. At least a dog must be sent to visit this place!"

Although Liu Yongxi said it a bit funny, both Mrs. Xing and Empress Zhang knew that Liu Yongxi had high hopes for the Xuzhou garrison.

However, as the number one important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty for a considerable period of time, Xuzhou really had to choose the most capable general to guard it. After all, although there are suggestions for a northern expedition below, everyone is very clear that fighting Xuzhou is basically the limit of the Ming army. If you go north, you will definitely have big problems. In the next period of time, you will have to stop and slowly digest the regained Jiangbei territory.

Now the logistics lines of the armies in Jiangbei are getting longer and longer, and the more you go north, the easier it is to use the Qing army's cavalry and shooting skills, let alone different from the newly conquered Jiangnan region. In the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing army controlled most of Shandong, and in the second year of Shunzhi, it controlled the entire Shandong province and established a very solid rule. Therefore, both Mrs. Xing and Liu Rushi suggested that Liu Yongxi stop to digest the fruits of victory after regaining Xuzhou, and Liu Yongxi naturally followed the flow of good deeds.

Zhang Huangxin immediately laughed: "This is what Xiaoxi, you want to decide. It depends on who Jian Zai Dixin now?"

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "It's not easy to defend Xuzhou. My expectation is that even if the Qing army goes south in large numbers, it can hold on to Xuzhou for three months!"

Although he sang all the way in Jiangbei, Chengtian Dynasty's attention was still attracted by Jin Shenghuan, who was in Jiangxi. Since Jin Shenghuan took the banner of Longwu Dynasty and joined forces with He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang of Longwu Dynasty, he naturally became a confidant of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Liu Yongxi demanded to stay in Xuzhou for three months was naturally because after the Chinese New Year, he would concentrate his main force to launch a large-scale expedition. The Qing army would definitely seize this opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack. Liu Yongxi felt that in order to be foolproof, he must have the ability to stay in Xuzhou for three months.

Mrs. Xing felt that this matter was indeed a bit difficult: "If Jianlu went south again, he would probably bring a red cannon. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to stay in Xuzhou for three months."

Liu Yongxi nodded and said, "Now there is Zhou Zhisheng, Wang Puxiang, and Zhang Huangyan in Jiangbei. It is natural to be easy to deal with Dai Shan, Duoduo, Haoge and others. However, if Jianlu wants to go south, Xuzhou must send a tiger to guard it!"

Mrs. Xing has been with Liu Yongxi for almost a year, and immediately guessed what Liu Yongxi meant by "going south to go": "My husband means that Dorgon will lead the army to the south personally? This is unlikely, Duoduo, Haoge's entire army has been lost this southern expedition, and Jianlu dares to go all out of the whole nation to fight!"

In the eyes of Mrs. Xing and Queen Zhang, the southern expedition of Duoduo in the second year of Shunzhi was a disaster. Although the entire Jiangnan was conquered at the first time, due to the shaving order and the entire counterattack of the Ming Dynasty in Yue, not only did Duoduo almost lose its troops, but even the Haoge troops who came to assist Duoduo ended up with the same consequences. For the Qing Dynasty, this was an unprecedented failure to shake the foundation of the country.

However, Liu Yongxi's evaluation of Dorgon was extremely high: "Although Dorgon is my biggest enemy in the Heavenly Kingdom, I have to admit that this is a very amazing person. If I had not worked together with my sisters, the south would have been almost a dream!"
