Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 293 The sky has changed, Li's shogunate? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Shang Shuying still ran away, but her two older brothers, Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying, were gone!

The night battle she saw last night was her two good brothers fighting father and son Huo Lu Bu. It was really a battle between brothers and father and son "Bu". In the end, of course, the two brothers died heroically. The men of Huo Lu Bu and his son searched them out of the forest where they were hiding, and cut off their heads alive on the spot!Looking at the pained expressions on the faces of those two dead heads, you can tell that cutting off the head is a very painful thing.

Third Prince Zhu looked at the head brought to him on a pretty tray, just sighed lightly, and thought: If I hadn’t met such Zhongliang as Wang Datou, Chen Yonghua, and Chang Mingyue, my head would probably have been placed on a tray
Thinking of this, the third prince waved his hand and ordered the left and right to find two more beautiful boxes, put the heads of Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhiying in them, and then buried the corpses of Shang Zhixin outside the outer city of Nanjing.

Seeing the two bloody heads being taken away by the two royal guards, Third Prince Zhu said to Lu Bu and his son who had already found chairs to sit on: "King Nan, King Ying, you two came at a good time. I am discussing the state affairs with a few gentlemen!"

"How's the discussion going?" Li Fuchen asked with a smile, "Have you discussed who will be the emperor?"

What?Is this still negotiable?Third Prince Zhu trembled in fright at what Li Fuchen said.

"Father, there is no need to discuss this matter. The third prince must be the emperor." Li Zhongshan quickly gave the third prince Zhu a reassurance, "However, how to govern this country still needs to be discussed carefully."

"Yes, yes," said the third prince Zhu, "Just now Mr. Lizhou was suggesting to build a republic with administrative administration. I also think it is a good republic, sharing blessings and suffering together, and being harmonious and beautiful."

"It's not the sharing of blessings," Li Zhongshan corrected the third prince with a smile. "It's the right to share the so-called sharing the world with them, which is what it means. And the harmony of the republic means harmony, harmony, and peace is the most important thing. Adding together means that the king and the people of the country and the scholars of the country share the world. The monarch and his subjects are in harmony.

"Okay, okay, this is very good, and it suits everyone's wishes." How dare the third prince Zhu say it's not good?
This is the unanimous opinion of Mr. San Zhongtang Si, how dare he, a small candidate for the original emperor, object?
"This." Li Fuchen frowned, this republic doesn't seem to be very good!For major national affairs, it is enough for the vassal king and his courtiers to discuss it. Why should they bring Chinese people and scholars along?
But since his second son pushed for this matter, it is not easy for him to contradict his second son. His surname is now Li, and his second son is Li Er!You have to be coaxed!
Thinking of this, Li Fulin nodded: "This is good. But how do you discuss and discuss, there is always a leading one in the DPRK? Is it called the general recording of the general? Also, how to manage this place? Do you want to set up Fang Town? Mr. Lizhou has advocated the adoption of the prime minister in the Guangdong New School in Guangdong. Government, the Fangzhen Fangyu Nine and the coastal place. I think it's good! "

Of course Li Fuchen wanted to "rule the world", but he didn't have the obsession like Geng Jingzhong. Instead, he held the attitude that he could be the emperor if he could be the emperor, and a general if he couldn't be the emperor.

Moreover, Geng Jingzhong, the eastern king, had just been defeated and fled because he wanted to be emperor, so Lao Li was not very interested in being emperor, and setting up a shogunate as a general became his first choice.

Of course, he didn't want to be a general himself, but he wanted Li Zhongshan to be a general, and he just went back to Guangdong and Guangxi to be the lord of the great feudal clan.

Where did the third prince Zhu not understand what Li Fuchen meant?But it doesn't matter what he says about this matter, he is the alternate original emperor and has no real power!
"My lord, what do you think the official in charge of the center should call?" Third Prince Zhu kicked the ball to Li Zhongshan again.

Li Zhongshan said: "The power of the center should be divided into deliberation and management. All important military and state affairs should be handed over to the meeting first, and then handled by the prime minister's office or the general's office. What is the name of the minister who manages the central government? The minister means that today is a troubled time. In troubled times, the army should be the first and the military should be the first. The first and auxiliary ministers should be called the generals, and they should be named as the governors of Chinese and foreign military forces. In the future, when the world is settled and the world is unified, the general will be changed to the prime minister."

"That's good," Li Fuchen said with a smile, "but who is the right general?"

As he spoke, he looked at his son Li Zhongshan—although he always bickered with Li Zhongshan and showed his love for Li Jiqing everywhere.But in his mind, Li Zhongshan is actually ranked first, followed by the eldest son Li Jizhen, the youngest son Li Jiyong, and Li Jiqing can only be ranked first among the bastards.As for Li Jiqing's Fangzhen position, it was actually given to him by his mother Kong Sizhen.

"Whoever becomes a general should still be elected by the Fuming Conference," Li Zhongshan said before Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others elected him, and set the tone. "In addition, Fang Zhen and the general cannot be in charge at the same time! The general sits in the center, controls the world's troops and horses, and supervises all Chinese and foreign armies. It makes no sense to also lead a town."

"Second," Li Fuchen quickly reminded, "You are the envoy of Yuehai Town!"

"Father," Li Zhongshan said, "my son will resign as the commander of the Guangdong Navy after Jian Guo ascends the throne."

His meaning is very clear, he is going to be a general, and he will no longer be the governor of the Guangdong Navy.

"Who is the Guangdong Navy for?" Li Fuchen asked, "Is it for Xiuqing?"

"How can a child in Xiuqing be an envoy?" Li Zhongshan laughed, "Father, my son will propose to dismantle the Yuehai feudal town after Jianguo ascends the throne, and hand over Guangfu and Shaozhou to the governor's yamen of Guangdong!"

"What?" Li Fuchen was stunned. "Second brother, you really don't want Guangfu? That's Guangfu!"

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "The towns under the sky are all the country's land, and they are just managed by the country. Besides, Guangfu is the heartland of Guangdong. If Fangzhen is established in Guangfu, it doesn't mean that the General's Mansion can neither manage Guangdong's affairs nor get Guangdong's wealth. If it is generalized, there are Fangzhen everywhere outside Yingtianfu. Then what does the court control? What does the general control?"

Since Li Zhongshan is aiming at the position of general, of course he must strengthen the power and financial resources of the central government!

Moreover, he does not think that Chinese politics can tolerate warlord separatism. Instead of being eliminated by history in the future, it is better to take the initiative to transform now and merge the Guangdong Navy, Huaixi Army, Yingtian Army, Yanghuai Army, and Yangtze River Navy into the directly-administered army of the General's Mansion.

Correspondingly, Guangfu, Shaozhou, Huaixi, Huaidong and Yingtianfu, as well as the soon-to-be-recaptured Jiangnan Prefecture, will all become territories directly under the Ming court!
"Second, have you discussed this matter with the Northern King?" Li Fuchen did not raise any objections, after all, in his opinion, the shogunate will also be named Li in the future!But this way is a bit of a blow to Northern King Liu Jinzhong!

The King of the North is also a minister who has made great contributions to calming the chaos, and he even divorced righteously, and took in a wife. Now he might not be able to become a general, nor can he expand his territory. Isn't it a big loss?

"Not yet," Li Zhongshan asked, "Where is the King of the North?"

"Report to King Ying," Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Liu Shuochuan hurriedly replied, "Northern King led his troops to pursue Geng Jingzhong to the east, and should have arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion by now."

Li Zhongshan nodded, and said: "Let him chase after this wave, and then invite him back to discuss the country together!"

After saying this, Li Zhongshan cupped his hands at Third Prince Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, the father and son have been chasing the enemy all night, and they are a little tired. I want to go back to the mansion to rest, and come to the Jianguo mansion tomorrow to discuss important matters!"

Third Prince Zhu nodded with a smile, "Okay, King Nan and King Ying, you have worked hard and made great achievements, so you must have a good rest."

"Thank you king."

Li Fuchen, Li Zhongshan, Li Jiqing and his son got up together, thanked them, and hurriedly left Jianguo Mansion and went back to their own Mochou Lake Palace.

Li Zhongshan returned to Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion, just finished washing and changing clothes, before he had time to squint for a while, Yang Xiaohuan pushed the door to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongtang and Chen Zhongtang are asking to see you."

"Hehe," Li Zhongshan smiled, "The two of them are very well informed. They really don't have a moment to spare! Please wait at the Shengqi Building, and I will go to the father's place."

Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua also stayed up all night, but they didn't feel sleepy at all. From yesterday morning to now, Nanjing City, no, the whole Ming Dynasty, even the sky has changed!

A real change!
"Tomorrow", "Qing Tian" and "Zhou Tian" will be replaced by "Yuan Tian"!

The two of them are the core figures of "Change the Sky", how could they be able to sleep?There are so many things to do!
Seeing Li Fuchen, Li Zhongshan and his son coming together, Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua quickly stood up and saluted.Li Zhongshan waved his hands and said, "There's no need to be overly polite. Time is urgent, and we don't need to exchange polite words. Let's talk directly if you have something to say!"

In a hurry?
Lu Sanhao and Chen Yonghua understood immediately!

Now that Geng Jingzhong has fled, the only one who can threaten Ying Tianfu is Liu Jinzhong!

Although Liu Jinzhong is loyal to Daming, it doesn't mean that he will listen to the words of the three middle halls.

"My lords," Lu Sanhao said, "Now Nanjing's inner city and the west outer city are under our control. Among them, the most critical imperial city is guarded by the Huaidong regiment led by Chang Zongzhen. On the surface of the Yangtze River near Yingtian, reinforcements from Jiangbei are ready to cross the river."

Chen Yonghua then said: "My lords, King Liu Bei has done a lot this time, so he must be appeased properly. If King Bei can't get his hands on the center, then he must not suffer in the territory."

As he spoke, his brows were already a little wrinkled.

This is easier said than done.

How to divide the territory?The Jiangbei part of Anhui is the source of the Huaixi Red Scarf, so it must be under the direct control of the imperial court, otherwise the Huaixi Red Scarf would not be a vassal army?And Yangzhou, Huai'an, Tongzhou and other state capitals in Jiangsu are also the hometown of the Huaiyang regiment that Chen Yonghua relies on, and it is impossible to distribute them to Liu Jinzhong.And Ying Tian Mansion is the foundation of Ying Tian Tuan's practice, and also the capital of Ming Dynasty, so of course Liu Jinzhong can't get his hands on it.

As for Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang and other state capitals, they are also the land of fish and rice in southern Jiangsu. It is absolutely impossible to distribute them to Liu Jinzhong!
In this way, Liu Jinzhong only has two state capitals, Xuzhou and Haizhou. Isn't he at a big loss?

"Let's discuss it after the Northern King comes back," Li Zhongshan said thoughtfully, "If Liu Beiwang is willing to march into Zhejiang, we can temporarily assign Zhejiang to him as a vassal."

Now that Geng Jingzhong is not completely finished, Li Zhongshan estimates that he will run to Zhejiang, and this wave of pursuit by Liu Jinzhong will almost reach Suzhou and Songjiang. It is unlikely that he will chase all the way to Zhejiang, let alone take all of Zhejiang.

Therefore, although the situation in Ming Dynasty is good, it still has not unified the south of the Yangtze River, and its territory on paper is even smaller than before the Nanjing War.

Li Fuchen, who had been silent before, also frowned at this time and said: "There is indeed a lot of territory to be fought in Anqing, and it is only a short breath before it can be won. Now Taiping, Chizhou, Huizhou, Ningguo, and Guangde, the five prefectures, will probably become bandits again. The whole province of Zhejiang and the eastern part of Fujian will probably have to be lost for a whole year. If Liu Beiwang makes trouble again."

If Liu Jinzhong is dissatisfied with Li Zhongshan's arrangement, then the fun will be great!The Ming Dynasty really "returned to the Year of the Dragon and Phoenix overnight"-if you don't count the isolated Guangdong, Guangxi and part of Fujian, it is almost the site of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in charge of the Han and Song Jiangnan provinces.

"Don't let him make a fuss!" Li Zhongshan thought about it, "I'll send an envoy to Liu Jinzhong's army to have a good talk with him later."

Li Fuchen said: "Send Zhou Peigong or Yao Qisheng, they both have a clever mouth."

Both Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng are outside Anqing City. Among them, Zhou Peigong is Li Zhongshan's military adviser, and Yao Qisheng is Li Fuchen's military adviser. Before returning to Nanjing, they both handed over the front-line troops to the two military advisers and continued to besiege Anqing.

"The two of them can't move," Li Zhongshan shook his head. "Anqing's general Mang Yitu is very difficult to deal with. Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng have to watch carefully! Moreover, it is difficult for them to persuade Liu Jinzhong. To stabilize Liu Jinzhong, the only way is to ask Mr. Shunshui to step in."

"Zhu Shunshui?" Chen Yonghua was taken aback, "This old gentleman is not particularly good at talking, and he may not be willing to be a lobbyist for you."

He is very familiar with Zhu Shunshui, because Zhu Shunshui has been in exile in Japan for these years, and Zheng Jing sent people to invite him back, so he belongs to the scholars of Chen Yonghua and Zheng Jing's school, and his views are different from those of the "Four Gentlemen".

Although Mr. Four is in favor of the establishment of Fangzhen, they also advocate the maintenance of centralization, and they are not very "feudal", but tend to the people's politics. This is very progressive, and the progressives don't know how to do it?
And Zhu Shunshui investigated politics in Japan, and felt that Japan's feudal system had some merits, and it could change the ruler of the world without changing the emperor.This is very suitable for the current Ming Dynasty. The emperor is still surnamed Zhu, but he is not in power. The shogunate general can be named Li-the Li family is very powerful in the current Ming Dynasty, and there are three princes alone.This Li Fuchen is a joint clan with Li Zicheng, so these three "Li Wangs" are all in the same sect!
Therefore, in Zhu Shunshui's mind, only one of the three kings of the Li family can be the shogun.

In addition, now that the east and west kings are treasonous, and the three Li kings can be restrained, only the Yi king Zheng Jing and the northern king Liu Jinzhong are left. Therefore, these two kings split the soil and lead the group of vassals, which is the best way to balance the Li family and defend Daming!
If they want to compete with Li Shi for the center, the consequence must be to be destroyed!

Since Zhu Shunshui really believed in this set of vassal system, it was the most convincing for him to come forward.

Moreover, Zhu Shunshui's reputation is much better than that of Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng. Zhu Shunshui is recognized as a sage and gentleman, while Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng are "poisoners". Liu Jinzhong can only believe in them.He also doesn't believe in anything, let alone Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng, even Zhuge Kongming's resurrection is useless! If he is impulsive again and kills Zhou Peigong and Yao Qisheng, then the Li family and his son will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan smiled and said to Chen Yonghua: "Fufu, you and Mr. Yiwang and Mr. Shunshui are one. You also write a personal letter to Mr. Shunshui and bring it to King Liu Bei, telling him that our Li family will not give him more land on the ground of the two rivers. It is best for him to go to Zhejiang to develop! Yiwang is in Fujian, and Beiwang is in Zhejiang. They are each other's horns, and together they will restrict the Li family's shogunate!"

Chen Yonghua already understood Li Zhongshan's meaning, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then Mr. Shunshui will definitely be willing to come forward and go through this."
