The eighth day of the sixth month of the year Bingxu is a rare auspicious day, and everything is suitable.

Zhu Qizhu, the King of Tang in Nanyang, officially ascended the throne in Jinling City, inherited the orthodox Ming Dynasty, changed the reign of Yongsheng, and made Ma Ruiling the empress, Zhu Yuta as the crown prince, and Fan Xinyi and Ning Xiuer as the imperial concubines.

Other meritorious ministers such as Ma Qiancheng, Qi Jin, Qin Banghan, Li Wanxiong were all in charge of Dukes, Cabinets, Six Ministry, Censorate, Five Temples, Six Departments, Hanlin Academy, etc., were all managed by their confidants Bi Maokang, Song Yingxing, Wang Zheng, Sun Chuanting and others.

The new emperor ascended the throne and the world was very happy. Jinling City was like the New Year Festival, and it was really lively.

However, Zhuqiu was a little unhappy.

Because the world has not yet been unified, most of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are still in the hands of others.

Which force should he deal with first?

Logically speaking, he should go south to Zhejiang to clean up the Zhejiang Party, deal with Ma Shiying, and overthrow the only opposition force in the south to control Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi, and then vigorously promote potatoes, sweet potatoes, two-season rice, and even three-season rice to encourage production.

In this way, the food crisis that plagued the Ming Dynasty could be gradually resolved, and the people would have food to eat, so that the world would be peaceful.

However, something disrupted his plan because Zuo Liangyu could hardly bear it.

Zuo Liangyu, whose courtesy name was Kunshan, was from Linqingzhou, Dongchang Prefecture. He was born in the army and served in the Liaodong Army in his early years. In the first year of Chongzhen, he was in charge of the Liaodong Cheyouying Dusi, but he soon resigned due to the Ningyuan mutiny.

Later, he was promoted by Hou Xun, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He followed the powerful general Cao Wenzhao and fought with Jiannu for more than three years. He made many military achievements and gradually became the deputy general. Then, he was ordered to lead his army south to encircle and suppress the rebels, and defeated the famous anti-king Gao Yingxiang many times. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and accumulated military merits to be promoted to the general and to suppress the bandits.

It should be said that Zuo Liangyu made contributions to the Ming Dynasty in the early stage. He has been through the battlefield for a long time and is brave and resourceful. Jiannu and the rebels suffered great losses in his hands. The military achievements were indeed not made, but real.

However, many people become arrogant when they succeed, and so do they.

The Ming Dynasty had constant internal and external troubles, and loyal ministers and good generals were constantly framed by their own people. Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Cao Wenzhao, Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others, who had some skills, could lead troops to fight against Jiannu and suppress the bandits, either they were beaten to death or were beaten to death. Life was worse than death, and only he led his troops to fight outside.

Perhaps, it was precisely because too many loyal ministers and good generals were killed that he was afraid that one day he would die inexplicably at his own hands, so he began to hold his own troops and refused to obey the court's orders.

To be honest, civil officials are most afraid of people who hold heavy troops and don’t obey orders. If they make people angry, they will lead their troops to rebel!

In the end, Zuo Liangyu survived the Chongzhen Dynasty with more than 100,000 Ming troops in his hand and became a warlord who dominated the country.

At this moment, he claimed to have 800,000 heavy troops and 1,000 generals!

Of course, this is impossible. The more than 100,000 Ming troops who could really go to the battlefield were probably the ones who were captured by the young and strong men.

However, such a strength must be obtained.

If, as in history, after Zuo Liangyu's death, his son Zuo Menggeng directly led his army to surrender Mi Qing, it would be troublesome.

When Zhu Qizhui received the news, he immediately led the Imperial Guards, Qi's army and the Imperial Guards to Anqing Prefecture.

Alas, this disease is not cured.

Zuo Liangyu pondered for a long time before sighing: "Your Majesty, I actually intended to go to Jinling, but why is the dog son Meng Geng? Alas, it's hard to describe it!"

What does this mean?

What is hard to describe, you finished it!

Zhu Qizhuo said anxiously: "What's wrong with Meng Geng?"

Zuo Liangyu shook his head slightly and said, "Meng Geng, this child, Oh, the general is really hard to say. I hope the emperor will ask the emperor, if the general hand over the military power, can the emperor let Meng Geng inherit the title? After all, the general is the only son. If the Zuo family is destroyed, the general will have no face to face the ancestors."

This guy seems to know everything!

Perhaps, in history, he just didn't want the Zuo family to die, so he silently swallowed his anger and said nothing, acquiesced to Zuo Menggeng's action of surrendering Mi Qing. After all, Mi Qing was very powerful at that time, and the Ming Dynasty had no hope.

However, it's different at this time.

At this time, Yongshengchao was obviously stronger than Mi Qing!

This guy is smart.

A marquis exchanges for hundreds of thousands of troops, this transaction is worth it!

Zhu Qizhu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, I can issue an edict to appoint you as the hereditary Marquis of Ningnan and Menggeng as the son of the Marquis of Ningnan."

This is the best result.
Chapter completed!
