The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 625 Respectfully Invite His Royal Highness the Assistant King to Succession

Zhu Linmei nodded secretly.This Li Dingguo is worthy of being recognized as the god of war in the late Ming Dynasty. When he received the transfer order, he was still in northern Sichuan, more than 600 miles farther from the southern part of the lake than the Zhongzhen Camp starting from Jingzhou, but he arrived one step earlier.

It seems that Li Zhanshen joined Daming not long ago, and he was anxious to get rid of He Tengjiao's rebel army and make meritorious service.

But Zhu Linmi had other arrangements for Huguang.He hurriedly recruited Shi Lin and asked him to send someone to inform the Ministry of War, ordering Li Dingguo to stand still for the time being.After all, once the flames of war are ignited, it is not so easy to extinguish them, and the most injured are the people of Huguang.

After Gao Yigong's military newspaper, there was another inconspicuous Tang newspaper, which briefly mentioned that Wang Yingxiong's Sichuan army was attacked by Luo Luohun near Hanzhong, killing and injuring more than a thousand people.Fortunately, Governor Wang's defense was pretty good, and the morale of Hanzhong Jianlu was not high, so after retreating to Ningqiang, the main force did not suffer too much loss.

Zhu Linmei rubbed her forehead. Although the combat effectiveness of these old Ming troops has improved compared to before, they still feel guilty facing the Qing army. Sichuan still cannot do without the white pole army.

He also thought of the recent situation where Duoduo sent troops to the south to harass and harass, making the Ming army overwhelmed.The pressure in the Chuzhou area was even greater. Although there were [-] Polu camps stationed there, many people in the vicinity were slaughtered. The Qing army seemed to have regained the feeling of being outside the pass, harassing and looting day and night.

But at the moment, Daming's internal affairs are not stable. Even if he wanted to teach Jiangbei's Jianlu severely, he couldn't devote his energy at all.Huguang has involved almost all the troops in the neighboring provinces. If the war starts, it will be a melee of [-] to [-] troops.Ming Dynasty was far from capable of launching two wars at the same time.

He let out a long breath. Fortunately, there was a turning point for the little emperor to abdicate, and he must take this opportunity to resolve the chaos in Huguang as soon as possible.By that time, not only will all the ten provinces south of the Yangtze River be under the rule of Ming Dynasty, but also a large number of combat-capable troops such as the Baigan Army and Li Dingguo will be drawn from Huguang, and even some of He Tengjiao's [-] Chu troops will be selected. With the help of the elite, the current situation of military embarrassment will be reversed immediately.

He was thinking about the situation in Huguang when he heard someone shouting in front of him, "Welcome His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince to return to Beijing!"

He raised his eyes, and saw hundreds of courtiers on both sides of the road, together with an endless crowd of common people, knelt down and said loudly, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince!"

Zhu Linming naturally knew why these officials made such a big fight. Fortunately, they are now familiar with their habits, and they are not too extravagant. Basically, they are just greeted by empty people at the side of the road.

Zhu Linmi drove her horse to the front of the welcoming team, and said with a smile, "It's not a new year or a holiday, and there's no good news. What's there to welcome?"

He waved his hand at the crowd again, "I know what you guys think, let's go and settle down to our duties." Then he kicked his horse's belly and led his soldiers through the crowd.

When he returned to the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, he saw Mu Zhiqing and Zhen Zhen already waiting here.

"Your Highness, you are back..."

Zhu Linmi didn't wait for Mu Zhiqing to finish, she pinched her little nose with a smile, and said, "You asked Zhen Zhen to send troops to tie up the road to and from Nanjing, right?"

Mu Zhiqing stuck out her tongue, "I'm afraid..."

"We are doing it in an upright manner, and we are not staging a coup, but we don't need to do it."

"Let's not talk about this first," Zhen Zhen was impatient, stepped forward to look at Zhu Lin and said, "What is your highness' plan? Let Sister Mu and I have an idea!"

Zhu Linmei smiled slightly, "Naturally, I must do my part."

The two daughters looked at each other excitedly and smiled, and were about to say something more, when they heard that Ma Wensheng came to report, "Grandpa Wang, a large number of courtiers from the Yang Pavilion are asking to see you."

Zhu Linming knew that this was a proper cutscene, so she nodded and said, "Take them to the main hall." But she was a little puzzled in her heart, why was Yang Tinglin the leader?
In the main hall of Yingtian Mansion Yamen, Yang Tinglin, Song Yingxing, Xu Erlu, Hong Si, Zeng Jian and more than forty courtiers were crowded.

When the assistant king came in, Yang Tinglin took the lead, and all the ministers lifted their clothes and knelt down, "Meet His Royal Highness the assistant king!"

Zhu Linmei smiled and raised her hand, "Ah, everyone get up."

However, everyone in the room still knelt and did not move, Yang Tinglin coughed lightly, held out a long and narrow brocade cloth, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness.

"The former Chu traitor was treacherous and deceitful. He held my son of heaven and turned against him. The world was shaken. Fortunately, the queen mother upholds the righteousness and sympathizes with the people. She has nothing to fight against the thieves. She can't use the state's weapon, the sage can't be coerced, and the one who only obeys the destiny makes Thailand return to...

"However, Lao Tzu said, 'A country cannot be without a king for a day'. Now the gods are hanging in vain, and the gods are lost, and the whole world is in panic. Now the whole world is looking forward to, hoping that the holy man will inherit the throne, and grant the luck of heaven, so as to secure the world, prosper the ancestral temple, and consolidate the country. ...

"Since Chongzhen to the present, only His Royal Highness has entered the distant borders, restored our territory to three thousand, chased and chased captives, raised Jingjiang River, drifted across the sea, and arrived at the sun. Leading the army of Tianwei, there are tens of thousands of captives. Fuzhou is far away from Laizhou, and the thieves are scattered in the east, and they are invincible...

"His Royal Highness Fu came from the ranks of King Chen, the original branch of the first emperor, with a majestic appearance, proficient in prowess, benevolence overwhelms virtue, cherishes talents and respects scholars, and is the heart of the four directions...

"In today's world, I feel that Your Highness is bright and virtuous, that there is no government in the court, that the people are sympathetic, that the country's scholars are towering, and that internal and external cooperation is becoming more and more prosperous...

"Therefore, there are more than a thousand courtiers and hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, begging Your Highness to only accept the destiny, to succeed the great throne, and to establish an honorary title early, so as to prosper the country!"

After he finished reading the eloquent persuasion table, he raised his head high and saw no movement for a while, then he wanted to put away the brocade signed by the officials and stood up to leave—according to the usual practice, three persuasions and three resignations are required before the superior will "have no choice" And agreed.

Unexpectedly, just as he withdrew his arms back, he felt that someone had taken away the persuasion watch. He couldn't help but look up, and saw Ma Wensheng holding the brocade and handing it to the assistant king respectfully.

The latter took the persuasion form, glanced at the signatures of hundreds of officials, nodded and said: "The situation is urgent, and no time should be wasted. Since everyone has this intention, then I will not refuse."

Yang Tinglin and the other courtiers were all stunned on the spot, thinking, what's wrong with this?Shouldn't it be rejected three times?The next two persuasion letters have been written, so is it still necessary?This is the first time, but what should I do next?
If they have heard the sayings of later generations, they will definitely read a sentence at this moment, "Why don't you play the cards according to the routine?!"

Hong Si, who has been engaged in publicity work, reacted the fastest, bowed first and said: "The fate of heaven cannot be checked, and the fate of heaven should be saved quickly, so there is no ritual of yielding. It is trust in the gods, and it is in harmony with heaven and earth!"

Yang Tinglin also came back to his senses, "Yes, yes, it is not limited to the empty style." He straightened his clothes again, and solemnly bowed down: "Your Majesty, please choose an auspicious date for the grand ceremony!"

Zhu Linmei nodded, handed the brocade in her hand to Eunuch Ma, and looked at Xu Erlu, "The Ministry of Rites will make preparations immediately, keep everything simple, and the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow."
