345 The Rise of Yongsheng Dynasty
Zhang Xianzhong finally admitted his defeat. Although Zhang Xianzhong did not really want to admit his defeat at the beginning, after Zhuqiu sent him to Dongfan in a boat, he couldn't do it or not.
Because the Dongfan was alone in the overseas world and without the sea boat, Zhang Xianzhong could not come back at all.
Moreover, even if he could find a way to get the boat, he would not be able to come back.
Although He Jiujin has left, the other five secret guards are still there. If he has any bad intentions, he will be dead!
In short, Zhang Xianzhong has come to an end and there is no hope of making a comeback.
The next step is to accept everything from the Great Western Dynasty.
After Zhu Qizhe waved his hand to send Zhang Xianzhong away, he turned around and came to the imperial palace of the Great Western Dynasty, which is the palace of the King of Chu.
However, he is different from Li Zicheng. He did not come to the palace to see the beauty. The beauties here were taken away by Zhang Xianzhong. Now they are full of soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
He mainly came to see how much food, gold, silver and treasures Zhang Xianzhong left him.
For food, in the original grain warehouse of the Chu Palace, the dense 10,000 stone warehouses were filled with piles of grain. There were also many piles of grains made of logs and straw. It was estimated that it was at least two million stones.
As for gold, silver and treasures, Zhang Xianzhong's approach really made Zhu Qizhu a little amused.
This guy actually ordered people to sink most of the gold, silver and treasures into the artificial lake of the Chu King's Mansion. He probably wanted to come and catch them when he made a comeback in the future.
Unfortunately, it was He Jiujin and the others who carried out this task, and Chen Yin's secret must be unable to be kept.
Why does this guy like to throw gold, silver and treasures into the water?
Zhu Qizhua looked at the boxes of gold, silver and treasures being pulled up from the lake by the net bag, which was really a little amused and crying.
It’s okay to say that food, gold, silver and treasures are not a big deal, because these are dead objects, so Zhang Xianzhong’s men are in a bit of trouble.
You know, there were more than 150,000 people left in Wuchang City alone!
There are also prisoners and surrenders from Xiangyang, Yiyang, Zaoyang and Gucheng, which total more than 200,000.
These people can kill thousands of stones of food just by drinking porridge a day, and they don’t want to feed so many people in vain.
He decided to let Sun Chuanting, who had the most experience, screen it, remove the old and weak, and leave behind 100,000 strong people, and then select generals and schools from the Imperial Guards, Qi Family Army and the Imperial Guards to form the Huguang Army, and practice it well. It would be no problem to use it to garrison and seize the city in the future.
As for the rest, they will directly distribute fertile land and let them farm in Huguang. Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland here and there is quite sufficient rain.
The issue of resettlement of captives and surrendered personnel was decided like this. I believe that with Sun Chuanting's ability, it was only a matter of time before the Huguang Army formed its combat power. There was another problem that made Zhu Qizhu very troubled, that is, the 100,000 troops under Wang Dingguo and Feng Shuangli.
These two guys didn't know what was going on. The orders issued by Zhang Xianzhong had been sent over. They did not take the men to Hanyang Mansion to accept the reorganization as required by the order.
No way to seek death!
Zhu Qizhu really doesn't want to make a big fight anymore. At least before completely annexing the territory of Daxi Chao, he doesn't want to make a big fight anymore.
After thinking about it, he sent out the former right prime minister of the Great Western Dynasty, and the current Yongsheng Dynasty, Huguangcheng, announced that the left governor of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Yan Xi, ordered him to go to Suizhou to lobby for some reason.
It is naturally best if these two guys are sensible. If they are not sensible, they can only gather elites to deal with them.
Everything about the Great Western Dynasty is about to be obtained, so we can't delay these two guys. Even if we don't want to make a big fight, we have to fight!
Fortunately, Yan Ximing was still very good at talking, and he was quite prestigious in the Great Western Dynasty. He ran to Suizhou to lobby, and Wang Dingguo and Feng Shuangli honestly pulled 100,000 people to Hanyang Mansion and accepted the reorganization.
This is also the main reason why Zhu Qizhu left Yan Ximing and appointed him as the Zuo Gongshu, the Minister of the Political Envoy of Huguangcheng, because he had a good reputation in the Daxi Dynasty and was very popular, and he could be an official and a person.
As for the left Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin, this guy is just a traitor, who specializes in sowing right and wrong and fighting for power and profit. Zhu Qizhua directly found an excuse and cut him off.
There were also six ministers, Wang Guolin, Jiangding Town, and Gong Wanjing, who were quite good, so Zhu Qizhu kept them and acted as the Huguang Cheng-Cheng-Declaration Department for Political Envoys and Senate, helping Yan Ximing to take over the territory of the Western Dynasty and govern Huguang.
As for other officials, those who were corrupt and abused, they were arrested and punished. Those who had good official reputations stayed to help Yan Ximing, Wang Guolin and others.
Yan Ximing is really a clerk. In addition, he has a relatively prestige in the Daxi Dynasty. Under his leadership and the deterrence of the Crazy King's army, the acceptance of the Daxi Dynasty's territory was quite smooth. In less than two months, the prefectures of Huguang had almost received it. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were almost reorganized.
The more than 200,000 troops who surrendered and captured were selected to be strong. In addition, the 100,000 troops under Wang Dingguo and Feng Shuangli and the troops recruited by other state prefectures, another 50,000 troops were selected to be strong. In this way, the newly formed Huguang Army became three large armies, with a total of 150,000 troops.
If the Southwest Army and other elite troops were added, Zhu Qizhuo's men would have more than 500,000 troops.
At this time, Yongsheng Dynasty was powerful and powerful.
Next, Zhu Qituo mobilized his troops to start taking over the territory of Daxi Dynasty in Jiangxi and Nanzhili. He successively took over the Anqing Prefecture, Chizhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Ji'an Prefecture, Ganzhou Prefecture and other prefectures.
At this point, the Yongsheng Dynasty had already taken over Huguang, as well as some areas of Jiangxi and Nanzhili. If the original Bashu and Nanyang were connected, the area would be almost surpassed that of Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty.
As for strength, the Yongsheng Dynasty was the strongest. The three invincible troops of the Imperial Guards, the Qi Family Army and the Imperial Guards were already terrifying enough. In addition, the 120,000 elite troops, 250,000 Southwest Army and 150,000 Huguang Army, it can be said that the remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily be opponents of the Yongsheng Dynasty.
At this time, Zhu Qizhu faced a very headache-inducing problem, that is, the territory of Yongsheng Dynasty was already bordering the territory of Hongguang Dynasty, and Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Jiujiang Prefecture, was almost surrounded by the territory of Yongsheng Dynasty. How did he deal with the relationship with these two forces?
He really doesn't want to go to war with these two forces, because these two forces are nominally the forces of the Ming Dynasty. Once he starts a war with others, he will provoke a civil war. Moreover, he knows very well that neither of these two forces will last long.
Zuo Liangyu may not know that he was going to die now. Once he died, his more than 200,000 troops would become a mess.
As for Hongguang Dynasty, there is only one word now, it’s rotten, it’s so bad!
Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong was a bad person, and with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, two bad people who were even worse than him, Hongguang Chao was simply a mess.
What are they busy with at this time?
They didn't think about how to protect their current foundation, nor how to restore the Ming Dynasty. They just wanted to protect the power in their hands and act as a blessing!
In order to protect his throne, Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong did many ridiculous things.
For example, there is a monk named Dafei in Jinling. His secular family surname is Zhu. He seems to be his own family, but he thinks he is a confidant of Lu Wang Zhu Changqing, so he directly ordered someone to throw him into prison and kill him.
There was also a man who claimed to be the crown prince Zhu Cilang who escaped from the north. He was afraid that others would seize his throne, and regardless of whether the person was the real crown prince Zhu Cilang or not, he directly identified him as a fake crown prince and was sent to prison.
He cares about this all day long.
As for Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, they always think about how to exclude Shi Kefa, how to promote the party prison, arrest the Donglin party members, and make the entire Hongguang court chaotic and messy!
Is it necessary to clean up such a mess?
