Chapter 122 is not the end of the end

In July of the first year of Dazhong Tianyuan, that is, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty announced the fall of the Ming Dynasty with the capture of Beijing by the Dazhong army, but this is only a matter of substance. In name, the Ming Dynasty still exists objectively. After all, the southern provinces still belong to the Ming Dynasty and have not been controlled by the Dazhong Dynasty.

But on August 20, in the city of Beijing, there was more shocking news. Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, announced in Beijing as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, he gave up his successor to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and ordered local officials and officials who had not yet surrendered to the Dazhong Dynasty in the name of the crown prince. The army, thinking that the people in the world were no longer poisoned by the disaster of war, immediately gave up being the enemy of the Dazhong Dynasty and accepted the jurisdiction of the Dazhong Dynasty, which was also equivalent to the orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty and officially announced the end of the Ming Dynasty in writing.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, also told the world that he would protect the safety of the three princes and the two princesses of Chongzhen, and named the crown prince Zhu Cixuan as the king of Ning of the Dazhong Dynasty. The original title of the two princes of Ding and the king of Yong remained unchanged, and at the same time, he took the three princes and two princesses as adopted sons and adopted sons and adopted daughters.

After the news came out, it immediately caused a great ups in the world.

Although everyone knows that this must be the decision that the prince Zhu Cixuan had to make because he was coerced by the emperor Xiao Tianjian of the middle school. It is uncertain whether this edict issued by the prince of the Ming Dynasty was written by Zhu Cizhen himself.

But there is a problem here, that is, Zhu Cixuan is not dead. No one can change his status as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. From an orthodox point of view, as the most orthodox successor of the Ming Dynasty, he has announced that he has given up his succession and attached it to the Dazhong Dynasty, which also shows that in the Ming Dynasty he ruled as a prince. At that time, from a legal point of view, it has finally come to an end.

Although the southern provinces have not yet surrendered to the Dazhong Dynasty, they can also find any heir of the Zhu family to inherit the mantle of the Ming Dynasty, support a so-called emperor, establish a small court of the Ming Dynasty, and continue the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the south. However, after all, they have no right to abolish the crown prince. No one can deny the identity of Zhu Cixuan. Then the so-called emperor they planted cannot be called orthodox.

On the contrary, Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of the Great Chinese Dynasty, was equivalent to accepting the Zen position of Zhu Cilang, the Prince of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, he had a legal status. Except for Xiao Tianjian, no one could prove that he was orthodox!

Although this play is a little cover-up on the surface, it is a wonderful move for China's thought that has lasted for thousands of years, which is equivalent to completely acknowledging Xiao Tianjian's identity as the orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty, a pseudo-emperor who rebelled and self-proclaimed as the emperor, and followed the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. The identity of Chengren gave up the position of Emperor Daming to Xiao Tianjian.

Doing this will also block the mouths of the world, especially for a considerable number of students who admit their reason, it is undoubtedly the magic weapon to eliminate the last grudge in their hearts.

Moreover, it is rumored that on August 20, Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, also held a formal Zen ceremony in front of the imperial hall of the Forbidden City. Zhu Cilang, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, finally ceded the throne of the Ming Dynasty to Xiao Tianjian as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and in the imperial hall, Xiao Tianjian once again took the status of the emperor of Dazhong. He ascended the throne and was crowned emperor.

On that day, hundreds of former ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military officials of the Dazhong Dynasty participated in the ceremony. After the Zen ceremony, these old ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all in front of the Huangji Hall, vowing to be loyal to Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of the Dazhong Dynasty, and shook them all from now on. He became an official of the Great China and North Korea.

In fact, the reason for such a farce is not that Xiao Tianjian or his civil servants and generals came up with the idea. On the contrary, the idea came from a group of civil servants among the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

The news that Prince Zhu Cilang and two other princes were caught by Liu Zeqing and dedicated to Xiao Tianjian soon spread among the capital. This also completely eliminated the thoughts of some old ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen was dead anyway. Originally, there were still some people who hoped that the prince Zhu Cixuan and the three princes of Ding and Yongwang could escape to the south. In that case, at least the crown prince Zhu Cixuan can announce his succession to the throne in any place in the south as the orthodox prince, and order the remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty in the world to continue to fight against the Dazhong Dynasty in the south.

However, with the fall of the three princes, this expectation was immediately shattered, and everyone thought that the three princes were completely finished. In their opinion, Xiao Tianjian would definitely kill the three princes Zhu Cilang to ensure that there would be no future trouble, but what everyone did not expect was that Xiao Tianjian actually let them go. The three princes entrusted them to Lu Xiangsheng to take care of them, and ordered to find someone to educate them. At the same time, they also ordered Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren, who were caught when they entered Beijing in the early stage, also sent them to Lu Xiangsheng's house to live with the three princes.

Such a move surprised everyone. Even Fan Jingwen, an old minister who had resigned, couldn't help writing to Xiao Tianjian to thank Xiao Tianjian for not killing the three princes. Lu Xiangsheng almost cried excitedly.

For these old ministers of the previous dynasty left behind, Xiao Tianjian's practice also made them feel reassured again, thinking that since Xiao Tianjian can stay and not kill three princes who are very threatening him, so for these old ministers, as long as they work hard in the future, they will still have a promising future.

A few old ministers of the Ming Dynasty who had some ideas also broke their thoughts, so they began to work honestly and had to admire the talent of these Confucian scholars. Soon someone came up with this idea and contacted some old ministers to write to Xiao Tianjian together, who proposed this to let Zhu Cixuan take the throne as the prince of the Ming Dynasty. The idea.

When this idea was first proposed, Xiao Tianjian didn't think so. He thought that it was just a group of old ministers of the Ming Dynasty. In order to flatter him, he came up with a flattering idea.

However, when Lu Xiangsheng learned the news, he repeatedly praised this method as a good method. He said that Xiao Tianjian adopted this method.

Xiao Tianjian began to pay attention to the opinions put forward by these old ministers of the previous dynasty. After carefully discussing with his ministers, everyone thought that this method was good. Although it was a little cover-up, he had to say that this was indeed a good strategy to destroy the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

So Xiao Tianjian finally happily accepted the opinions of these old ministers of the previous dynasty, opened the Huangji Hall, and made such a farce in the Huangji Hall.

In addition, some people simply proposed to let Xiao Tianjian accept Zhu Cilang as his adopted son. In that case, the Xiao family and the Zhu family will become a family, and Zhu Cilang will not be allowed to compete with Xiao Tianjian in the future.

So Xiao Tianjian immediately followed the kindness. He not only accepted Zhu Cixuan as his adopted son, but also accepted King Ding, King Yong, Princess Changping and Princess Zhaoren as adopted sons and daughters.

This kind of thing is really ridiculous. Xiao Tianjian forced Chongzhen to death with his own hands, but he accepted Chongzhen's children as adopted sons and daughters. Therefore, in this way, even Xiao Tianjian's literary and martial arts who mainly killed the three princes finally stopped mentioning the matter of killing them.

But when this news is spread to the south for a period of time in the future, everyone can think of what the expression of those Ming ministers in the southern provinces should be after learning the news. Even if they want to toss around again, there is no legitimate reason. After all, even the orthodox prince Zhu Cilang has Jing gave Daming Jiangshan Zen to Xiao Tianjian, so what else do they have to say?

So as soon as the news came out, the world suddenly shook. Some local government officials and officers and soldiers in the north who had not yet surrendered to the Great China Dynasty, who were the first to get the news, were immediately completely discouraged. They either abandoned their officials one after another, or sent people to submit a surrender to the troops of the nearby Dazhong Dynasty. In short, in a few days, all of the whole Beizhili The state capital and county are all under the jurisdiction of the Dazhong Dynasty without wasting a knife and a shot. In the next month, even the remaining prefectures and counties in Shandong have announced their acceptance of the jurisdiction of the Dazhong Dynasty, and will no longer be against the Dazhong Dynasty.

This method can be said to be very effective. At least it avoids Xiao Tianjian's continued division of troops and fighting with the remaining strength of the Ming Dynasty in the north, which not only reduced the destruction of the disaster of war to the local economy, but also accelerated the unification of the north, so that the whole Northern Expedition ended after September. .

A large number of local officials selected by Li Jinde, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and others in Nanjing were spilled out like a tide and rushed to the north to receive local civil affairs in Beizhili and Shandong provinces. Moreover, the Ministry of War also dispatched a capable general to accompany these newly appointed local people. Political officials began to take defense in various places, reorganize the remnants of the Ming army in various places, and began to suppress local bandits on a large scale.

At the end of August, Xiao Tianjian issued an order to tell the world in Beijing, ordering bandits from all over the world to immediately put down their weapons and surrender to the surrounding Dazhong army. He also stipulated that before the end of the year, all those who surrendered could not be blamed. In the future, as long as they were honest and obedient to the people of Dazhong and North Korea, they could get new Legal status, whether they are farming or doing business, in short, they can live in peace.

But if these bandits refuse to disarm and surrender before the end of the year, the Dazhong army will never accommodate them again. At that time, they will carry out a devastating suppression, and will never accept surrender!

So under the great victory of the Dazhong army, the bandits scattered all over the north saw that the situation in the north had stabilized. With the release of a large number of Dazhong troops, their good days came to an end, so the smarter heroes and bandits immediately made their choice.

Either they immediately ran to the surrounding Dazhong army to disarm and surrender, and then after being registered, they were sent back to their place of origin for resettlement, or they were resettled on the spot. Other people who were willing to join the army were admitted into the new barracks of the army after strict examination and selection. Intensive training.

Although some other bandits did not choose to surrender, after privately divided the property, they took some money, broke up on the spot, went back to each family to find their mothers, relied on the property they had obtained to buy land, and lived in peace.

In the originally chaotic north, within such a short period of time, it began to quickly become stable, which saved the Dazhong army from a lot of trouble. Even along the canal with the heaviest danger, after the Dazhong army conquered Beijing, many bandits quickly silenced, making the canal smooth and safe. In this way, various fleets of goods transshipment materials in the south and the north have begun to transport materials to the north, which is seriously short of grain, quickly and greatly alleviated the food shortage in the north.
