Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 434

After being an emperor in Beijing for a few days, Zhu Yousong was a little emotional, and immediately had the idea of ​​moving the capital in his heart.

From Nanjing to the west to Wuhan and Yichang, and then back to the north to Beijing, first to clean up the disobedient warlords, and then to drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains. There have been many dangerous battles, and it has not been easy for more than a year.

Now it's time to take a good breath, the next Da Ming is none other than me!
But there is still a battle ahead, that is Liu Zongmin's team, but Zhu Yousong has already dug a hole for them, this hole kills two birds with one stone, neither Liu Zongmin nor Wu Sangui can escape.

After cleaning up Liu Zongmin and Wu Sangui and finishing the Shanhaiguan battle, Zhu Yousong decided to move the capital to Beijing immediately.The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. This is the characteristic of Ming Dynasty, and I have to continue it.

But moving the capital is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be prepared in advance. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to the old men in the cabinet.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong immediately asked Lu Jiude to draft an order, and asked Gao Hongtu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, and others to rush from Nanjing to Beijing immediately after receiving the order to prepare for the relocation of the capital.

This decree is not only about moving the capital, but also about the victory of the civil and military officials in Nanjing, taking down the city of Beijing and driving out the Tartars. This is the real restoration of Ming Dynasty. This great event is worthy of national celebration.

The decree was ready to be handed over to Zhu Yousong for imperial trial. Zhu Yousong revised it twice, sealed it when he was satisfied, and then taught it to Lu Jiude, asking him to take people to Nanjing to deliver the decree.

When the news reached Nanjing, the whole country was shocked.Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, led all the civil and military officials, and after receiving the order, they made a pilgrimage in the direction of Beijing, shouting long live.

They never dreamed that His Majesty's personal conquest would be so fast. It was still the army of the Ming Dynasty. It was just that His Majesty personally commanded them. Before, they could not fight the bandits, let alone the Tartars, but now they are brave and invincible. He was invincible, and he was invincible along the way. In just over a year, Zuo Liangyu was dealt with, and the mighty Tartars were driven out of the pass. Even if Emperor Hongwu was alive and Emperor Yongle was reborn, it was nothing more than that.

It seems that my life is not exhausted, and the true destiny is here!
After the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing went north to worship Zhu Yousong, they all burned incense and worshiped, especially those people who had received Zhu Yousong's kindness, they were moved to tears, thanked the heaven for having eyes, and thanked God for sending such a brave emperor , clean up the broken mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Ming Dynasty.

The happiest thing in Nanjing is the Golden Queen. It has been more than a year since I parted from Zhu Yousong. Around her, every day she dreams of Zhu Yousong triumphantly moving back to the capital. She takes her maid, Chan'er, and brings Zhu Yousong into the palace happily.

But after waking up, it was Nankey Yimeng. How many times she wept the pillow towel. Fortunately, Chan'er comforted her. It was the good news of the victory of the former enemy, His Majesty, and gave them hope and sustenance. For more than a year, the two women depended on each other and suffered from longing. suffering.

Today is the news from His Majesty that the Tatars have been expelled from the Central Plains. His Majesty has issued a decree and plans to move the capital to Beijing. The Golden Empress was ecstatic, she was so happy that she shed tears. After reading the decree several times, she called Lu Jiude When you come to the front, ask questions.

After receiving the order, Gao Hongtu, Wang Duo and others did not dare to neglect, and left Nanjing for Beijing when they were ready.

The Golden Empress also wanted to follow, and she specially brought along nine-year-old Xiao Liushi. Xiao Liu was the only daughter of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi. Both parents became monks. Zhu Yousong liked this clever little girl very much. The Golden Queen is in charge of raising it.

When Zhu Yousong left Beijing last year, he specifically told Empress Jin to take good care of Xiao Liushi and teach her arts and martial arts well, so she will be a pillar in the future.

The Golden Queen also likes this little girl very much, because Xiao Liu is very smart, well-educated, and at a young age, she is already a beauty embryo of a character.

The Golden Empress specially arranged for someone to teach her how to practice literature and martial arts, and she chose Chan'er to teach her singing and dancing. This is the crystallization of Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi. very fast.

For more than a year, Xiaoliu has made great progress in both civil and military talents. Now she is good at singing and dancing, writing with a pen, and fighting with a sword.Of course her sword is not a three-foot long sword, but a two-foot-long pocket-sized dagger.

Empress Jin also brought her into Beijing this time to make Zhu Yousong happy.

Gao Hongtu and Lu Jiude had no choice but to arrange escorts. Fortunately, there were no tartars and thieves on this road, and it was all under the Ming Dynasty. They prepared a phoenix chariot. Jin Huang and Chan'er took Xiao Liu to sit in the chariot. A large group of court ladies and several eunuchs followed.

Gao Hongtu was the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he ordered [-] troops from the Jingying soldiers in Nanjing. The general who led the team was Yan Yingyuan, the guard of Jiangyin Sangong and the current admiral of the Jingying. He was directly responsible to Gao Hongtu and Lu Jiude, and accompanied him along the way.

Yan Yingyuan was born a bit like Guan Yu, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in his hand, very mighty, and led five thousand Ming troops to protect the car of the Golden Empress and this team of civil servants, and wherever he went, he would avoid evil even more.

In this way, a team of 6000 people left Nanjing, crossed the Yangtze River, and came to Beijing in a mighty way...

The line of sight then turns to Beijing City.

Now Huang Degong has won Tianjin Wei.Knowing that His Majesty had already entered Beijing one step ahead of him, the Tartars fled in anticipation, voluntarily abandoned the city of Beijing, and fled outside the pass.Huang Degong was even more elated, leaving some soldiers and horses to guard Tianjin Wei, and rushed to Beijing with [-] troops to meet him.

At this time, near the city of Beijing, not counting the more than 1 horses stationed in Tianjin Guard, King Qin's Ming army had 12 soldiers.

This is a real number of troops with combat effectiveness, excluding war casualties and downsizing, plus the reorganized Dashun Army prisoners.

Now Zhu Yousong received the battle report again. After Liu Zongmin returned to Juyongguan, he rectified his troops and horses, leaving 5 troops to stand firm in the pass city. He personally led [-] troops to Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Yousong was very happy, it seemed that his plan had succeeded again!
Zhu Yousong immediately issued an order to dispatch troops and generals, leaving [-] elite soldiers to garrison the capital.Specifically, He Zhaoxiong, the Iron-armed Canglong, was in charge, and the generals left behind for him were Zheng Damu, Lu Xiao, Zhao Fu, Fang Dongxu and other four martial arts scholars from last year.
