Chapter 182 The Nanming Regime

Nanjing

In the center of Nanjing City is a luxurious palace building. In a large hall of the palace's harem, the sound of silk bamboo can be heard from afar. There is also the woman's crisp laughter. This palace is the location of Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Hongguang was enjoying the dance.

Twenty or thirty young women in the room are wearing red gauze, dancing in the warm room with smoke, and because of the thick smoke, these women are looming, like a fairyland. On the high platform of the hall, a fat, two short, fat-headed and big-eared man wearing a yellow dragon robe held two charming young and beautiful women from side to right. And there are three or four equally delicate young women who are responsible for pouring wine next to them.

The two women hugged by Emperor Hongguang, one holding a wine glass, kept feeding into Emperor Hongguang's mouth. The other woman had a cherry in her mouth and fed it to Emperor Hongguang's dirty big mouth. Moreover, these two women are so docile that it is disgusting.

In addition to the dancing women on both sides, there are dozens of beautiful women wearing silk gauze, some are responsible for ringing bells, some are responsible for playing guzheng, and some are holding pipa and so on, all kinds of which make this slightly filth place into a music hall.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded outside.

Emperor Hongguang, after listening, said impatiently, "But Mr. Ge, what do you want to say quickly? Don't you see that I'm busy?"

Ma Shiying frowned and finally came in from the outside of the hall. The singers and dancers gave way one after another. Ma Shiying said loudly as she walked, "Your Majesty, now Wu Sangui and Shang are happy to occupy Hubei, and Hubei is not too far from our Nanjing. If they go straight down the Yangtze River, they will soon be able to reach Nanjing. So we..."

Even if Emperor Hongguang is a pig brain, he also understands what Ma Shiying said at this time. Emperor Hongguang is very afraid of whoever the enemy is, not to mention Wu Sangui, who used to be a full Qing eagle dog, is still happy. Emperor Hongguang's body was shocked, and the wine on his face gradually dissipated. He looked at Ma Shiying and said in a hurry, "Well, what should I do? What should I do? I don't want to die. I don't want to die. By the way, what about Liu Xia? Why doesn't Liu Xia come? Hurry up and go to Cui Liuxia to Nanjing. I have this loyal minister, not to mention Wu Sangui is still very happy. Even if Dorgun comes, I won't be afraid.

Ma Shiying looked at Emperor Hongguang with disgust in his eyes, but his face did not show. For such a monarch, Ma Shiying really didn't want to say anything. If it was not to control the court, Ma Shiying would not choose this stupid King Fu to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xia did not come to Nanjing and will not come back in the future. Now Liu Xia is only in Henan, and we don't have the ability to forcibly call Liu Xia here.

Of course, Emperor Hongguang knew that many ministers did not obey their orders in Nanjing, and there were many royal families in other places who were ready to move, and many royal families were quite emperors. Historically, after Emperor Hongguang of Nanjing was killed by the Qing army in 1645, many regimes appeared in the south, but because Emperor Hongguang was not dead at this time, those regimes did not appear.

"What's good, what's good!" How about moving the capital to Luoyang? Luoyang is protected by Liu Xia, and our lives are not in danger if we are protected by Liu Xia. I can continue to be free. Looking at the appearance of Emperor Hongguang dancing, Ma Shiying couldn't help feeling a trace of sadness. This is their emperor of the Ming Dynasty! With such an emperor, if the country is immortal, there will be no reason. Although Emperor Hongguang's idea is beautiful, in reality, it is impossible at all. Not to mention whether the ministers in Nanjing are willing to move the capital to Luoyang or not. Even if they are willing to move the capital, it is not ruled out that Liu Xia's Luoyang will be captured. Although Liu Xia's battles in these wars are very beautiful, there is no Changsheng General in the world. As long as Liu Xia loses once, he will lose the whole game.

And more ministers are unwilling to go to Luoyang, because arriving in Luoyang means that under the shelter of others, if Liu Xia takes the emperor to order the princes, then these ministers have also become puppets, and they are not at all free now.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Nanjing is the land of my Ming Dynasty. How can I say that I will lose it? Your Majesty, please don't say a word about moving the capital in the future. Ma Shiying was still very dignified with Emperor Hongguang. Seeing that Ma Shiying said so, Emperor Hongguang stopped talking.

In fact, Emperor Hongguang muttered in his heart: Luoyang is the place where I grew up and the place where I grew up.

"So what should we do?"

Emperor Hongguang asked helplessly. For Emperor Hongguang, as long as he continues to live such a rotten life in the future, even under the shelter of others, it is not impossible. But for Ma Shiying and others, they are not willing to rely on others unless they have to.

Ma Shiying thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we must reduce our expenses, train the new army, and use the new army to resist Wu Sangui's army. Since Liu Xia can defeat the Tarta with his Pingbei army, I believe that other generals of Daming also have this ability.

"Good!" After listening to Ma Shiying's words, Emperor Hongguang suddenly blushed and said, "Just do what the elder said, just do it!"

Luoyang

The task of recruiting soldiers is very arduous, because tens of thousands of people will be recruited at once this time, but fortunately, because of Liu Xia's personality charm, the bravery of the Pingbei Army, and the high welfare, many people went to the suburbs of Luoyang to sign up for the army. The total number of applicants this time is 30,000.

But this time it only recruits 15,000 people, that is to say, ordinary people will be brushed down. After the people who joined the army signed up, they were placed in the new regiment on the outskirts of Luoyang for a while, and then a thousand people began to conduct physical fitness tests. First, they jogged eight kilometers to see who could stick to it. Although many of these people were exiles before, so they didn't have much strength to lose weight, but after eating a lot of food in the new regiment, they also gained more strength. Although they were still thin, they were much better.

"Start running!"

With the order of the selection officer, the soldiers began to run around the playground.

One lap is a standard runway of 400 meters. Eight thousand laps means running twenty laps. No one fell behind in the first seven or eight laps, but after the tenth laps, some weak people began to slow down, and some even lay on the ground and couldn't run. Being unable to run also means the qualification to join the army completely. Most of these troops are for a mouthful of food. Nowadays, being unable to join the army means that they can't eat food, so many people begin to cry. But no one sympathizes with them. People can fail, but a big man will be disgraceful if he cries.

Liu Xia was free today, so she came to the campus in person to see the new recruit selection. Shang Chuang, the head of the new regiment, and the first-class generals followed Liu Xia. The new recruits are the fresh blood of the Pingbei Army, and there can be no mistakes at all.

The place where Liu Xia came is the location of the heroes who have run through eight thousand meters. These people are the first to select the first batch of people. Seeing Liu Xia's arrival, these heroes saluted Liu Xia one after another. Now they are not new recruits, because they still have to participate in several competitions. Due to the large number of people, the recruiter has formulated some selection projects. The first item is the eight-kilometer run, and the second item is push-ups. At the same time, according to Liu Xia's requirements, literate people can be given priority admission or lower the admission requirements. But the most basic thing is that he must pass these selection projects.

"See you, General!" More than 5,000 people knelt down and saluted Liu Xia in unison.

Liu Xia looked at them with a smile and said, "Get up, everyone. Maybe some of you can join the big family of the Pingbei Army in the future. At that time, we will be brothers." Liu Xia's voice fell, and the strong men stood up from the ground one after another.

Liu Xia walked to a burly man and said, "What's your name?"
