Chapter 3: Supervising the Country

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 At Mao hour, the morning sun was rising. In front of the altar on the right side of the inner city of Jingjiang Palace, a golden chair was set up facing south. In front of the chair was a crown robe case. Zhu Hengjia, who had just led a group of civil and military officials to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, returned

Before I could take a breath, I was guided to the golden chair.

The chief envoy of Guangxi, Guan Shouzhen, who was in his fifties, had an unusually rosy face. He led a group of beasts and birds with great energy and shouted: "The memorial ceremony has ended, please take charge of the country immediately."

After hearing these words, the rebels went crazy, fearing that their great achievements in supporting the establishment would be left behind. They surrounded Zhu Hengjia and helped him to the golden chair. Then, Tao Cheng, the Zhongxian Colonel, came forward holding the military uniform and crown.

, Guan, Yang, Yu and other important ministers took the military robes and put them on Zhu Hengjia, and put a crown on him. Liu Rong, who was on the left, shouted: "Schedule". The rebels quickly arranged themselves according to their official positions, bowed three times, stood up, and played music.

He bowed again three times, stood up, and played music. Then Dianbao Zhengma happily handed the box containing the golden seal of the prison state to Guan Shouzhen. Guan Shouzhen held the box and said to Zhu Hengjia: "The prison state has ascended to the throne, and the ministers presented the royal treasure." After that,

Return the printing box to Ma Huanxi for safekeeping.

"Tired, so damn tired!" Zhu Hengjia thought to himself.

Then there is a series of complicated etiquette: bowing, paying homage, standing flat, holding a scorpion, dancing, shouting three times, kneeling on the left and right knees, taking out the scorpion, etc.

"It's so cool, it's so damn good! This is the only time in this life, it's worth dying!" Zhongshan Lang was elated.

After finally finishing the ceremony, Zhu Hengjia went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple on the left side of the inner city of the royal palace, offered sacrifices to his parents, and then returned to the Chengyun Hall to accept the congratulations of all the officials. Then he named Concubine Shi a royal concubine and established his four-year-old son Zhu Ruoji as the crown prince.<

/p>

There was no need to establish the crown prince so early, but it was a pity that the original owner only had this precious son at the age of fifty. Now that he had just raised the flag for rebellion, and surrounded by enemies, Zhu Hengjia thought that by establishing the crown prince early, he could keep his son in his hometown to gather people's hearts when he went to war.
Looking at the beautiful face of his beloved concubine and the tender little face of his son, Zhu Hengjia was proud. In his previous life, he was still a bachelor at the age of thirty, but now he has both wives. The most important thing is that the old cow eats young grass, and Concubine Shi is remarried.

He is twenty years younger than me, with bright eyes and white teeth, ice-cold muscles and jade bones, a kind character, gentle and graceful.

Not to mention, the original owner's body is really good. He can still give birth to a son at the age of forty-six, and he can still wield swords and guns in preparation for rebellion at the age of fifty. What's even more rare is that he looks good, has windy ears, and a long chin.

He has thick eyebrows and small eyes, a broad nose and a wide mouth. He is tall and black. No, it should be a majestic appearance, a powerful bone, and a will that is so broad that no one can fathom it. He really has the appearance of an emperor.<

/p>

On the third day of August in the first year of Hongguang, King Zhu Hengjia of Jingjiang wore a yellow robe and sat facing south. He called himself the supervisor of the country. He used the 18th year of Chongzhen as the year and changed the capital Zhulin of Guangxi to Xijing. The complacent careerist began his plan.

Inverse blueprint.

It is necessary to be promoted to a higher position! Brothers, they will not hesitate to follow you in rebellion at the expense of their wealth and life. Isn’t it just to get a high-ranking official with a generous salary and a wife and son?

Confer an official title to Dali! Yang Guowei was granted the title of Xingyebo and General Longhu; Guan Shouzhen was made a bachelor of Dongge and the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs; Sun Jinding was made a bachelor of the Dongge and the minister of the Ministry of Rites; Gu Yi was appointed to the official department; Yu Chaoxiang

He was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War; Bai Luxin was the doctor of the Xingbu; Zhang Cheng was a foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry; Yan Tianfeng was the Huaiyuan General; Fan Youxian was the Dingyuan General; Shi Qiwen was the Zhengman General; Zhu Hengkuo was the Fengguo General; Tao became the Jinyiwei Town's envoy;

Sun Gui and Yang Wu were guerrillas.

To win over the hearts and minds of the army and the people, each soldier will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and each household will be given a dou of rice and a pot of wine, offering amnesty to the world and spreading grace widely.

Send envoys to Jiangxi, Guizhou, Huguang and other places to issue edicts and appoint officials to expand their influence.

Recruit widespread thieves and pirates to expand your strength.

The last step is to reorganize the army. This is the top priority.

Historically, the original owner organized an army of tens of thousands, but was defeated by thousands of people sent by Ding Kuichu. Although there was a reason for falling into the enemy's trick, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness of Jingfan's army was low.

Therefore, in order to save his old life, Zhu Hengjia expanded the Guilin Left Guard Barracks at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in Guilin City, and used the camp posts of Yang Guowei's Department as a model to disperse and reorganize the 20,000 rabble he recruited and the Guilin Left Guard veterans.

, the guard post was converted into a camp post, and a total of seven infantry battalions, one water battalion, and one cavalry battalion were organized.

He ordered Zhengman General Shi Qiwen, Huaiyuan General Yan Tianfeng, and Dingyuan General Fan Youxian to practice the newly formed infantry battalion every day; Sun Gui was used as a guerrilla in the Guijiang water camp to collect boats and prepare for water battles; he also sent the former Guilin left guard Ma Jun and Wang Fu

The escorting cavalry troops were integrated into a cavalry battalion of more than 800 people and handed over to Yang Wu for command.

Even so, Zhu Hengjia was still worried and worried that his subordinates would be lazy, so he simply moved into the Xiangshan Camp and supervised the soldiers' martial arts training every day.

For a time, Guilin City turned into a large military camp, with swords and swords everywhere, and murderous intent.
