"Surround the bandits and annihilate them in one fell swoop?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and then someone asked: "My lord, do you mean to take advantage of the situation and take over the capital in one fell swoop?"
"Of course!" A smile appeared in Pang Gang's eyes: "When have you ever seen this king spit out the meat he took in his mouth? Don't worry, everyone will be rewarded when the capital is captured!"
As Pang Gang finished speaking, everyone's eyes showed a look of excitement.
The meaning of Pang Gang's words is already very clear. Lao Zhu's family has been in this world for too long. We will not leave after we capture Beijing this time. We will also live like an emperor.
The purpose of Pang Gang's words is to give everyone reassurance. After all, what is the purpose of risking beheading to help you? Isn't it just to gain a good future, to honor the ancestors and to have a wife?
Otherwise, people will come here to conquer the world for you when they are full of food. It doesn’t make sense!
Feeling this, Pang just said the above words. The subtext is, when I become emperor and I eat meat, you can also drink soup. You will be indispensable for glory and wealth.
Looking at the enthusiastic looks in everyone's eyes, Pang Gang nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that the purpose of this mobilization meeting had been achieved, and it was time to assign tasks next.
"Ahem..."
Clearing his throat, Pang Gang said loudly: "Everyone... Since the regulations for this trip are still set, I will give the order!"
As soon as Pang Gang finished speaking, everyone stood up and bowed to Pang Gang: "Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
Seeing dozens of people prostrating themselves on the ground in front of him, Pang Gang also stood up, with a rare blush in his eye circles. It has been five years since he came to this era. He relied on golden fingers and passed through five years.
With his hard work, he is finally qualified to conquer the world, and the history of the Chinese nation will be rewritten in his own hands.
Scanning everyone with his sharp eyes, Pang just shouted loudly: "Everyone listens to the order!"
"Wow!" With a sound, everyone, whether they were civil servants or military generals, all stood up straight and looked at Pang Gang with excitement on their faces.
"I have decided to lead an army of 100,000 people to the capital by land this time. The troops for this expedition are the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th legions. You will set out with me. In addition, Dong Guo, Lu Kuanliang
He also led his respective artillery battalions to follow the army north, and Lin Feng was responsible for the logistics and transportation of the entire army. During my absence, you must all fulfill your responsibilities and not slack off. Do you understand?"
Everyone's faces were flushed. They shouted in unison: "I will obey the prince's order!"
As Pang Gang's order was issued, Shandong, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately took action. Governments at all levels began to operate like gears of different sizes. Food, grass, weapons, gunpowder, medicine and other supplies were all flowing in.
They gathered towards Qinzhou. On the third day, one hundred thousand troops and countless supplies were ready, and the war had begun.
The night before departure, Pang Gang held a family dinner at home. Kong Ruolan and Wei Manting led their wives and concubines to toast Pang Gang and wish him a victorious return. Pang Gang's two sons, Pang Suming and Pang Supeng, were also held in the arms of their respective mothers.
Li said vague words to his father, making Pang Gang laugh.
Pang Gang looked at the wives and concubines at the table. Kong Ruolan and Wei Manying had already given birth to a son for themselves. Ling'er and Qiao'er were also pregnant now and were about to give birth in a few months. Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xuezhu were now
Thanks to Pang Gang's hard work, I became pregnant. It seems that it won't be long before the family becomes even more lively.
"Your Majesty, I wish you a smooth journey and great ambitions."
Just when Pang Gang was feeling "so happy", Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan pulled their sons to Pang Gang. They held wine glasses and toasted Pang Gang with smiles.
"Okay, I'll give you a drink as well. You've all worked hard." Pang Gang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, Pang Gang looked at Wei Man Ting and Kong Ruo Lan and said seriously: "Man Ting, Ruo Lan, my husband is going on an expedition this time. All the affairs in the house are supported by you. After all, the two of you are respected in the house. Ruo Lan is good at taking charge.
Money, Man Ting, you are resourceful, and if you two work together, anything can be accomplished. Now Ling'er, Qiao'er, Yuanyuan, and Xuezhu are all pregnant one after another. You have to pay more attention to matters in the house. You must remember that family
Only with harmony can everything prosper!"
After listening to Pang Gang's instructions, the two of them bowed and responded solemnly: "Yes! I will definitely obey the prince's teachings, be diligent and frugal in running the house, and wait for the prince to return victoriously."
"Well, that's good. That's it for today. Let's leave now!"
After Pang Gang finished speaking, he walked towards the back room. Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan looked at each other, handed their children to the wet nurse, and then followed Pang Gang one after another towards the inner room...
...
The next day, Pang Gang opened his eyes that were still a little heavy, used great perseverance to leave the soft and pink body, put on his clothes, and put on his armor with the help of the maid, and finally stood up.
I took a photo in front of a large bronze mirror. Although the reflection in the bronze mirror was not very clear, a burly figure appeared in front of my eyes.
At this time, the two maids who helped Pang Gang put on the armor looked at Pang Gang who was so majestic after putting on the armor. Their little faces secretly turned red and they sincerely praised: "The prince is really majestic when he puts on this armor."
So cool!"
After hearing the maid's compliment, Pang Gang couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of their noses and joked, "You two little girls, what do you know? Wait until you have your in-laws in a few years before you say this."
After saying that, Pang Gang grabbed the scimitar hanging on the wall, and strode out amidst the coquettish looks of the two maids. However, when Pang Gang went out, the two girls Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan, who were sleeping soundly on the big bed, almost appeared at the same time.
She opened her eyes and looked at the figure leaving her husband with a look of reluctance on her face...
Just when Pang Gang led his team to set off from Qingzhou, Li Zicheng also led his 200,000 troops to capture Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture and Baoding Prefecture, and came to the foot of Beijing City, completely surrounding the entire city of Beijing.
Li Zicheng led the army and conquered several state capitals one after another without much effort and arrived at the gates of Beijing. This also made Li Zicheng, his civil and military officials and the soldiers of the three armies very happy, thinking that the city of Beijing would definitely be destroyed in a few days, and then spread the word
And Jiangnan was settled, and a great cause for the ages was laid.
Li Zicheng sent someone to deliver a message to Hao Yaoqi, who was staying in Shaanxi, asking him to gather 10,000 more men to occupy these three places. He led an army of 200,000, and claimed 300,000 to the outside world. The city of Beijing was tightly surrounded.
He got up and prepared to conquer the city of Beijing in one fell swoop to rule the world.
Thirty miles from the west gate of Beijing, this is the county closest to Beijing. The name of this county is Hongwu County (the place name is fictitious, do not go into details). At this moment, Li Zicheng is leading a group of more than ten important generals and
Counselors are discussing matters.
At this time, after more than a year of development, Li Zicheng's 200,000 troops and horses were completely different from those in the previous two years. After more than a year of training and the removal of the old, weak, sick and disabled, the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 troops
It has been greatly improved compared to before. With his strength, Li Zicheng is also a little dissatisfied with his current status.
In the past, I was a rebel, a bandit, and a bandit. Of course, these were all called by the court. They all called themselves rebels, but it is very important to have a good reputation. Didn't you see that even Shandong
Did Pang Gang call himself King of Zhou? Therefore, not long ago, Li Zicheng also began to call himself king and gave himself a title. He became King Shun and began to grant official positions.
There is another difference between the official positions awarded this time and those before. This time Li Zicheng awarded official positions according to the standards of the imperial court. There are six governments, the Imperial Academy, the prime minister, the chief and deputy military adviser, and the military officers include the front, rear, left, right, middle and fifth levels.
There were soldiers and horses in the camp, as well as the royal camp troops commanded by Li Zicheng himself. From this point of view, it was obvious that Li Zicheng wanted to become emperor.
Li Zicheng glanced at everyone's faces with satisfaction, and said passionately: "Everyone, we and hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops have arrived at the gates of Beijing City, and will launch an attack on Beijing City in the near future. We only wait for the capture of Beijing City.
We can expect great things, but I wonder how these two military advisors can teach me?"
For a moment, the colleagues all turned their attention to the faces of the two military advisors sitting under Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng became king, the post of prime minister unexpectedly fell to Niu Jinxing, while Li Yan and Song Xiance
Become a good military advisor.
Song Xiance stood up with a long laugh. He was a quack magician. After joining Li Zicheng, he relied on this skill to win the trust of Li Zicheng and the soldiers under King Chuang. After several years of hard work, he became the deputy military advisor of the Dashun Army.
, it can be said that he has already made a meteoric rise. Since his status is different, naturally he cannot express his analysis in the simplest words. Instead, he slightly stretches out his left hand, palm facing up, and pinches the joints of the index finger, middle finger... with his thumb.
He murmured in his mouth: "Jiachen, Yisi, Bingwu, Dingwei... Chuang Wang, according to my opinion, if there is light rain on the 28th, the city will be broken at dawn on the 29th."
If there is no rain on the twenty-eighth, we will have to wait for the city to be broken in the next two or three days."
Seeing Song Xiance's serious look, Niu Jinxing couldn't help but feel a little funny. His friend had always loved doing this kind of thing in his life, but Song Xiance wasn't just pretending, there were still some things he said.
Make sense.
Unlike Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng said with a happy face: "It seems that the weather will not clear up soon. According to the arrangements for breaking the city on the 29th, everything will be ready. After our army breaks through Beijing, the future capital will still be in Chang'an."
Okay, Beijing is just for walking. Once it is decided, it will be renamed Youzhou Prefecture. Zai Gu has already thought about this matter. But after Beijing is conquered, Gu is walking in Beijing. Which palace should I live in after entering the Forbidden City?"
Niu Jinxing already knew what Song Xiance meant, and of course Li Yan also knew it, but they all laughed and said nothing. Niu Jinxing has regained Li Zicheng's trust in more than a year, otherwise he would not be able to become the prime minister.
come when,
When Li Zicheng saw that everyone was silent, he turned to Niu Jinxing and said, "Mr. Niu, tell me first, which palace should I live in if I am alone in the Forbidden City?"
Since becoming the prime minister, Niu Jinxing has constantly put forward higher demands on himself, and strives to develop a graceful and calm demeanor as a prime minister, so that he neither competes with his colleagues for credit, but also makes all major decisions his own. He was arbitrary, so he bowed respectfully to Li Zicheng and replied: "Your Majesty, in response to the rise of the dragon, defeated the people and punished them, God and man returned to achieve this great cause. The Derby is better than that of Yao and Shun, and his achievements are as great as those of Tang and Wu. He conquered Beijing, and his achievements are great!"
Li Zicheng was not highly educated and could only understand Niu Jinxing's docile words. He frowned and said: "Niu Military Advisor, speak directly if you have something to say. There is no need to be so docile."
"Uh, that's bad!" Niu Jinxing was startled and shouted inwardly. He was a little complacent for a moment, and even grabbed his schoolbag at King Chuang. You must know that most of Li Zicheng and his generals were from low-level and mud-legged backgrounds. How can you understand these things?
Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "As the Song military advisor expected, we will attack the Wei family on the 28th or 29th. Moreover, I believe that after your Majesty enters the city, he will live in the Qianqing Palace. It is just and right, and there is no need to choose anywhere else."
"Yes!" Li Zicheng nodded noncommittally, turned to Li Yan and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Yan thought for a while and then said: "The Book of Changes says 'Great Qianyuan', and also says that Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, and the queen is. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty built a palace, and the palace where the emperor lived was named after it. It is the Qianqing Palace, and the queen's residence is named Kunning Palace. 'Qing' and 'Ning' both mean peace and prosperity, so the place between the two palaces is the Jiaotai Palace, which takes the meaning of the Tai hexagram in the "Book of Changes" and symbolizes Said: 'Heaven and earth meet, Tai.' Just now, Prime Minister Niu suggested that Your Majesty live in the Qianqing Palace. It is quite reasonable. However, the student has nothing to worry about and might as well consider another palace."
"Oh? Why is this?" Li Zicheng couldn't help but be puzzled. Even Niu Jinxing was quite dissatisfied and asked: "Master Li, please clear up the confusion!"
Li Yan thought for a while and then said: "According to the students, although Chongzhen was a king who subjugated his country, he was different from the kings who had subjugated his country in the past. Chongzhen had a strong temper and everyone knew it. When the city was broken, he would never surrender. , and do not want to be captured and humiliated, he will definitely commit suicide in the Qianqing Palace, or hang himself, or take poison. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to consider another palace as a place to stay so as to avoid temporary chaos."
"Pa!" sounded. Li Zicheng clapped his hand hard on the table in front of him and said appreciatively: "Okay! Mr. Li is worthy of being a talented man in Henan. He is thoughtful, calm and decisive when dealing with things. He is worthy of being an independent military advisor." "
Everyone also expressed their appreciation and praised Li Yan's ability. Only Niu Jinxing, who was sitting at the head, had a glimmer of jealousy in his eyes, but he concealed it well, so the glimmer of light just flickered in his eyes.
Li Zicheng continued to ask: "Since Qianqing Palace is not suitable, where does Mr. Li think it would be better to live alone?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had very little time to rest in Qianqing Palace. Most of the time he rested in Nuanxiang Pavilion or Wenhua Palace. Nuanxiang Pavilion is not very popular. , the students thought that Wenhua Palace is better. Wenhua Palace is an important palace in the Forbidden City, east of Zuoshun Gate and not far from Donghua Gate. Wenhua Palace..." Immediately afterwards, Li Yan continued to talk. He talked about the benefits of Wenhua Palace.
Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Well, this Wenhua Palace orphan has heard its name many times. It seems that it is indeed very famous."
At this time, Niu Jinxing also agreed: "What Mr. Li said is true, but it seems that I did not consider it. It is said that the Wenhua Palace was built in the Yongle period, and it was not often visited by the emperor. Jiajing Jianzuo, the Wenhua Palace was
It was rebuilt and replaced with yellow tiles. From then on, it was the location of the Spring and Autumn Sutra Banquet, and ministers were often summoned here. In the middle of the palace, there is a throne for ministers and ministers to pay homage. The palace is often called the Golden Terrace. Generally, summonses are held in the East and West Pavilions.
There is a plaque hanging with the twelve words "Learn the Great Sutra of Two Emperors and Three Kings to Rule the World**" written by Shenzong. This Wenhua Hall and the Jinshen Hall behind it, together with Wenhua Gate and other buildings, form a
The complete palace courtyard is very tight. Moreover, the Wenhua Hall is very close to the cabinet. The cabinet turns eastward inside the Meridian Gate and is a few houses separated from the Wenyuan Pavilion, where the ministers are on duty. Although my Dashun has recovered
The prime minister system since the Tang and Song Dynasties is called Tianyou Pavilion Grand Scholar. There is no need for five to seven assistant ministers. The first assistant is the main one, who jointly assists in state affairs, forming a cabinet system. However, there are many people in the Prime Minister's Office, and they cannot all be in the Forbidden City. Meridian Gate
The cabinet facing the east will still be Prime Minister Niu's room in the Forbidden City, so that King Chuang can summon him at any time to discuss military and state affairs. If His Majesty uses the Wenhua Palace as a temporary residence in the palace, the cabinet can be said to be close at hand.
I am ignorant and presume to suggest that you ask King Chuang to enter the Forbidden City and then stay at the Wenhua Palace. There is no need to consider anything else."
As soon as Niu Jinxing said this, everyone was slightly surprised. This Niu Jinxing was really big. Li Yan had just overturned his remarks, and he immediately accepted it with an open mind and was not angry at all. Could it be that the prime minister was thinking
Can it really be used to punt a boat?
"Hahaha..." Li Zicheng laughed, "Okay, it's rare for Prime Minister Niu to be so generous. I'm very happy. Since everyone has no objections, let's wait until we invade the capital.
Gu’s bedroom will be in the Wenhua Hall.”
Seeing that Li Zicheng was so happy, Niu Jinxing also took the opportunity to join in and said: "King Chuang, you are wrong. After we capture the capital, your title will have to be changed. Then you should call yourself me!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, but his face lit up and he scolded: "Hey... Prime Minister Niu, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense about things that have no trace.
Gu leads everyone to conquer the world just to find food for the people of the world, not to become the emperor. If you say that again, Gu will punish you."
Everyone sneered at Li Zicheng for being the bitch who wanted to build a memorial arch, but on the surface they still wanted to cooperate, and everyone offered advice.
After Li Zicheng shied away for a while, he hypocritically agreed. After conquering Beijing, he immediately ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor...
