I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 140 Preparing to move the capital

"The humble minister pays homage to His Highness the Jianguo. Long live the Jianguo!"

Wang Li led everyone to bow to him and then said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has conquered Nanjing and is rich in the south of the Yangtze River, I ask you to supervise the country to obey the will of God, respond to the people's sentiments, and succeed to the throne as soon as possible!"

"I ask the supervisory country to take over the throne as soon as possible in order to respond to the wishes of the world!"

The other officials, including Privy Councilor Zhu Chengxun, also said.

There is no way, the restoration of Nanjing is really of too great significance, not only as a strategic tiger on a dragon's disk, but also as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the former southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, and even if the emperor Zhu Di had not moved the capital, then Nanjing would have been the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Nanjing is in hand, as long as the navy is sent into the Yangtze River, the southern half of the Yangtze River is basically in the hands of the Ming army.

Although there is still a block of Songjiang Prefecture that has not been captured, as long as the Ming Navy blocks the Yangtze River, it is impossible for the Chongming Navy alone to withstand the Ming Navy's attack.

By then, the retreat will be cut off, and it will be attacked from all sides. It will only be a matter of time before Songjiang Mansion is overthrown.

Now, although Zhu Yijiong is still the supervisor of the country, from the moment he captured Nanjing, he had the capital to officially ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

As long as Zhu Yijiong proclaims himself emperor, the foundation of Ming Dynasty will be established.

When I think about just over half a year ago, I was just a Taiwan intellectual, and even almost died at the hands of the rebels.

But now he has reached the sky in one step, directly to Longtuge. When Zhu Yijiong officially ascends the throne, he will be the true chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet.

All this, I have never dreamed of.

Zhu Yijiong smiled and asked: "Wang Aiqing, how is the situation in Hangzhou now?"

Wang Li said: "Reporting to the Supervisor, the ministers have already arranged the affairs of Hangzhou before heading north, but please rest assured!"

Zhu Yijiong nodded after hearing this. He was relieved that Wang Li was doing this. As the earliest ministers who followed the dragon, Wang Li, Liang Wenxuan and others had already been deeply bound to the Ming Dynasty's chariot.

Just like Yang Gong, the most powerful general of the Puppet Ming Dynasty, Wang Li was not only listed in the list of traitors of the Puppet Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, but also ranked among the best. He was as distinguished as Yang Gong in both civil and military affairs.

It can be said that as long as the Ming Dynasty was defeated, Zhu Yijiong would definitely die, and Wang Li and Yang Gong, together with their relatives from the nine tribes, would also have to be buried with him.

Therefore, these people are often the strongest backbone of Ming Dynasty.

Now that Nanjing is under the control, Hangzhou has also served as a temporary residence and is also the capital of a province, so this arrangement must be paid attention to.

It is impossible to say that Hangzhou will return to its original state after Zhu Yijiong comes to Nanjing.

At least half of the Ordnance Bureau has allocated craftsmen, and a branch will be set up in Hangzhou, using Hangzhou as the hub for the three provinces to distribute materials.

Of course, the same is true for Quanzhou, but Quanzhou is taking the path of opening up the sea for trade.

Originally, the sea opening should not have been so fast, but now Lin Jun went south to Guangdong and brazenly annexed the two prefectures in eastern Guangdong. Although it was limited by the lack of naval power and could not completely regain Nan'ao Island, the Guangdong Navy on Nan'ao Island has become an isolated island.

The remnants of the Guangdong Navy can hardly even protect themselves, and have long been unable to pose any threat to the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s time for Xiamen to open its sea!

When he proclaimed himself emperor, he just happened to announce the opening of the sea. Oh, by the way, there was also the opening of subjects to recruit scholars.

Although the imperial examination is the source of all evil, it is the best way to win over people's hearts in this era, especially the hearts of scholars.

In this way, with the triple insurance of Kaihai, Enke, and becoming emperor, the people of Jiangnan will be settled.

I also chatted with Wang Li, Liang Wenxuan, and Zhu Chengxun for a few words, mainly talking about how to completely consolidate Nanjing City. At the same time, not to mention the Yangtze River Defense Line, at least the Jiangnan Defense Line must be built.

It is not difficult for the Ming Navy, which inherited the Fujian Navy team, to accomplish this.

At the same time, in addition to these, there are other important tasks such as officially moving the capital, establishing the capital in Nanjing, and establishing himself as emperor.

Wang Li and the others just marched first. There were many trivial matters to be dealt with in the official move of the capital, including various procedures for proclaiming the emperor, site selection and so on.

Fortunately, Wang Li had already started making arrangements in advance when Zhu Yijiong went north, and he was answering questions fluently at this moment.

Zhu Yijiong was quite satisfied with this. Originally, he wanted to keep everything simple. After all, he was a modern man. Although he had been the king of the country for half a year, he didn't pay much attention to it.

However, it was forcefully rejected by Wang Li and Liang Wenxuan, and even Zhu Chengxun rarely came to a unified opinion.

According to Wang Li, this proclaiming the emperor was not only a ceremony, but also a political show for people in Jiangnan and the whole world.

It must be done!
In the end, Zhu Yijiong agreed. The appropriate use of people and money now is also to ensure that fewer people will die in the future.

"Mr. Yuan, the fake Ming rebels have invaded Nanjing. What should we do?"

In Songjiang Fucheng, Wang Tingshi, the prefect of Songjiang, was already anxious and asked Yuan Tianpei, the commander-in-chief of Chongming.

Now that Nanjing has been defeated, Longkodo has fled, the entire south of the Yangtze River has fallen into the hands of the puppet Ming Dynasty, and Songjiang Prefecture has become encircled.

As the prefect of Songjiang, he naturally could not abandon the city and flee like Longkodo. After all, his identity was that of a supervisor, in other words, a slave.

If he dared to abandon the city and flee like Longkodo, then his relatives from the three tribes would probably have to thank him.

Not only him, but Yuan Tianpei, the commander-in-chief of Chongming, was also distraught and paced back and forth in the hall.

However, what bothered him was why Fuxing Ming still didn't surrender them.

Yes, surrender.Yuan Tianpei's own family knew about his family affairs. This man had been impeached before and abused troops and exhausted the people. How much fighting power could his Green Battalion have?

Do you need to ask?
Therefore, despite receiving an urgent order from Governor Longkodo, Yuan Tianpei did not dare to advance along Jiangxi until the city of Nanjing was broken.

However, after waiting for so long, Puppet Ming not only did not attack the city, but also did not surrender them.

What on earth does this hypocrite want to do?
It’s not like you don’t want Songjiang Mansion, right?

"Mr. Yuan Zhen, please come up with an idea quickly!" Seeing that Yuan Tianpei remained silent, Wang Tingshi was already sweating profusely.

"This town has a stupid idea! Now that the Puppet Ming army is out and this town is busy with military affairs, I won't bother you here anymore. Farewell!"

After saying that, Yuan Tianpei left without looking back.

"This... this... eh!"

When Wang Tingshi came to his senses, he was gone.

After opening his mouth for a moment, he could only sigh helplessly.

Back to the barracks.

The more Yuan Tianpei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. If Fake Ming didn't take the initiative to surrender, then he couldn't retreat!

After all, he is the commander-in-chief of Chongming. If Songjiang Mansion is really broken, he will either die in battle or be captured.

He naturally knows very well how much fighting power his soldiers have.

It's definitely impossible to defeat Fake Ming, but if you want to run away, it's even more of a joke.

Where to run?
Running to Chongming?

If the pseudo-Ming attacks Songjiang, will Chongming be spared?

Or, give up everything and flee back to Jiangbei.

Not to mention that he is the commander-in-chief of Chongming. If he escapes from Songjiang Mansion, he will lose the city and land. He will be beheaded just like Wang Tingshi.

In addition, he was just impeached for abusing soldiers and harming the people, and now he fled back to Jiangbei, which does not mean that he has thrown himself into a trap.

If you can't run away, you won't be able to defeat him.

Yuan Tianpei couldn't help but feel irritable and resentful, pretending to explain why he hadn't sent someone to surrender yet. If he had sent someone to surrender, he wouldn't be in a dilemma.

Anyway, his parents are deceased, and if his wife and children are gone, he can remarry, but if his life is gone, he is really gone.

and many more……

If Fake Ming doesn’t come, can’t I take the initiative to go?
A terrible idea suddenly came to Yuan Tianpei's mind.

Taking the initiative to offer the city and surrender, this should be considered a great achievement, right?
Once Pandora's box is opened, it is as difficult to dispel as the devil.

Yuan Tianpei is also a vicious and ruthless character, even his wife and children are dispensable, not to mention that he only kills a few unrelated people in exchange for his life and wealth.

On the same day, Yuan Tianpei quickly summoned his cronies, recalled all the thousand-household generals under his command to the camp for a meeting, and secretly ambush his cronies outside.

Then tell the truth decisively, and then ask if you are willing to be loyal.

Anyone who showed hesitation would be surrounded and hacked to death with swords and axes.

Under such tough suppression, the entire Chongming Town was completely controlled by Yuan Tianpei without much effort.

Afterwards, everyone was given money and wages to win people's hearts.

By the afternoon.

Wang Tingshi was attending to official duties in the government office with a worried look on his face, when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

Just as he was about to get up and go out to check, he saw Yuan Tianpei covered in armor and rushing in with a large group of soldiers. His armor and sword even had blood stains on them.

Wang Tingshi was shocked when he saw it, but he still forced a smile and said, "What does Mr. Yuan Zhen mean by this?"

Yuan Tianpei laughed ferociously: "I don't mean anything, I just want to use Mr. Futai's head on his neck. Please don't be stingy, Mr. Futai!"

"what!"

Hearing Yuan Tianpei's words, Wang Tingshi was instantly shocked and was about to call for help.

However, Yuan Tianpei didn't give him any chance at all. He swung his sword and his head fell to the ground.

"Hurry! Let's get this guy's head made of salt. This will be our wealth for the rest of our lives!"

Following Yuan Tianpei's order, a group of soldiers quickly stepped forward and wrapped Wang Tingshiyou's head with a frightened expression in cloth.

Five thousand soldiers from Chongming Town entered Songjiang Fucheng. With deliberate indulgence, they burned, killed and looted Songjiang Fucheng directly.

The entire Songjiang Prefecture instantly turned into a hell on earth, and people were filled with resentment.
