Chapter 487, China is rich in emperors this year (4)


Chapter 178: This year China is rich in four emperors In June of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huguang Province, Xiangyang Prefecture In the Yin'an Hall of Prince Xiang's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, where the plaque "Chuang Prince's Mansion" was hung not long ago, the new "Chuang King" Li Zicheng, who has not yet turned into a one-eyed dragon, is wearing a newly made golden crown and sitting majestically on the dragon's head.

On the chair, he narrowed his eyes and looked around at the generals in the palace. yznn In the center of the Yin'an Hall, an old scholar wearing a Confucian shirt and a scarf was kneeling.

He was holding a book in his hand and tremblingly reciting an obscure article: "I heard that people were born to be prosperous. , The tree is the king, so across the world, Sima Liyuan is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If this is the case, he knows that heaven and earth cannot lack food, so he bends his body to serve it; he knows that Li Yuan cannot be left without a master, so he has no choice but to come.

Its sacrifice is to promote the wind and establish its style for eternity.

After three or five years, it will be unstoppable.

His Majesty, King Chuang, has spread his virtues everywhere since he came to the throne, and his kindness extends to all things.

It surpasses the past and surpasses the present, even though the Tang and Yu Dynasties could not surpass this.

The meeting of the wise men all said that Zuo was over.

I heard that the Ming Dynasty has been used repeatedly, but whether it is harmonious or harmonious, the destiny has not changed, and it has returned after all.

It may be difficult to consolidate the country, or it may be difficult to enlighten the Holy Ming.

Qi was plagued by ignorance, and Xiaobai was the leader of the five uncles; Jin was plagued by Li Ji, and Chong'er was in charge of the alliance of princes.

I heard that your honorable position cannot be empty for a long time, and all opportunities cannot be empty for a long time.

If a day is empty, the position will be in danger; if there is a day of empty space, everything will be in chaos.

Now is the season of a hundred kings, the gathering of nine in the Yang Dynasty, cunning bandits are spying on the country, and the country is in trouble.

Resist correction; take the country as the first priority, and do not put small deeds first; worry about the head of Guizhou, and do not give in as a matter of priority; go to the ancestral temple to comfort the ancestral temple with care, and show the world's devotion to others.

It is said that prosperity is born from dry catkins, flesh is nourished from rotten bones, gods and men are safe, and there is no misfortune.

I heard that a virtuous person occupies the honorable position.

Now I look up at the sky and observe the people's hearts.

The number of Zhu Ming is over, and the fortune depends on Li.

Xuande is connected with the gods, and the holy posture is combined with the two rituals.

It corresponds to the period of life and brings luck for thousands of years.

The symbol of auspicious signs indicates signs of signs from heaven and man; the sign of resurgence indicates prophecy.

Your Majesty is bright and the sun and the moon are bright, and there is no darkness or candle.

He is far-sighted and far-sighted.

He comes from his heart.

He is worried about the country and is too late to see the road to prosperity for humans and gods.

Therefore, thirty-four people, including Huguang students xxx and xxx, are playing together.

I hope that King Chuang will attach great importance to the country, the country, and the country, and he will ascend to the ninth position as soon as possible, and rule the world, with the heart of peace and prosperity."

Such difficult and difficult rhetoric was obviously not something that Li Zicheng's peasant army generals, who could barely read a few characters, could understand.

So just when the Confucian scholar read a few words in a measured tone, some of the generals present were already yawning profusely and their eyelids were shaking.

It wasn't until the Confucian scholar finished reciting this carefully written message of persuasion that he knelt on the ground and raised his hands above his head.

The generals in the palace quickly cheered up and prepared for the important event that had been rehearsed many times.

The king of Chuang Li Zicheng sat there pretending to be reserved for a while, then slowly stood up, took the form of advice, and threw it aside lightly. , "Sir, you have your heart.

It's just that I have just occupied the four prefectures of Xiangyang, Nanyang, Chengtian, and De'an right now.

The territory is limited and the foundation is not stable.

To do such a big thing rashly is just to make people laugh.

This matter Let’s talk about it later.”

"King Chuang, you must not underestimate yourself.

If the name is not correct, then the words will not be obeyed.

If there is no righteous name, how can we govern the place?"

Faced with Li Zicheng's hypocritical refusal, some "loyal ministers" immediately came forward to argue, "The barbarian chief Dorgon only had two palaces, so he dared to proclaim himself emperor.

Now your majesty has elite soldiers in the camp, and he has won the hearts of the people."

To support me, all I need to do is hold on to the great treasure and raise my arms, and all the heroes in the world will surely gather to respond."

The generals of Chuangying who had been posing for a long time below also knelt down and shouted: "Please King Chuang ascend to the throne quickly and lead us to conquer the world."

Although everyone was enthusiastic, Li Zicheng still made three concessions in accordance with ancient etiquette.

Only then did he accept the generals' wishes, declare his accession to the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and make Xiangyang his capital.

Originally, with the name Chuangying, the country should naturally use the word "Chuang" as its name.

However, the name "Dachuang Kingdom" was so unpleasant that even the generals of Chuangying found it unbearable, so they changed it to Dashun.

Another Dashun Emperor is released Next, as Li Zicheng brazenly proclaimed himself emperor, the other bandits scattered in Huguang and the Central Plains were also deeply stimulated and began to think of being a loner.

However, many of the bandit leaders had few soldiers and horses, were weak, and their territory was close to Chuangying.

They did not dare to disobey this powerful neighbor, so they had to accept the title of Duke in name from the Emperor of Dashun, Li Zicheng.

Kneel down and bow down to this reckless emperor.

Some rogue leaders with strong soldiers and horses under their command naturally wanted to start a new business.

For example, Luo Rucai, nicknamed "Cao Cao", had just captured Changsha at this time.

The soldiers, horses and territory under his command were not much worse than Li Zicheng.

I heard that Li Zicheng The guy had become the emperor, so naturally he was not to be outdone, so he immediately tied up a group of old Confucian scholars who lacked moral integrity, and concocted some auspiciousness in a serious manner.

Then he forged a family tree with noble blood, and finally.

Luo Rucai also made "three concessions and three concessions" in a very stylish way, and held a grand ceremony to worship heaven in Changsha.

He officially ascended the throne as emperor, established the Great Chu Kingdom, and made Changsha its capital.

The generals and ministers seemed to be fighting against Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty.

Next, Zhang Xianzhong, who was entrenched in Nanchang, Jiangxi, also began to make preparations for proclaiming himself emperor.

A Western missionary who had just been appointed by Zhang Xianzhong as an official of the Qintian Prison suddenly discovered the huge changes in the universe. , especially the bizarre activities in the movement of the stars ; Later, huge fruit trees were discovered on the banks of Poyang Lake; and then some people saw the magical sight of a golden dragon flying over Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army tent.

In short, all kinds of weird and auspicious supernatural rumors came one after another.

There are so many of them that they are simply too numerous to mention.

Faced with so many good omens, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates naturally cheered for joy.

Various literary and literary forms of persuasion came like snow flakes, and some even killed old hens and got blood seals to write in them.

Naturally, Zhang Xianzhong lived up to expectations and proclaimed himself emperor, establishing the capital in Nanchang and founding the country.

Regarding the news that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were proclaimed emperors one after another, classmate Wang Qiu, who has been living in Phoenix Villa in Hangzhou for a while, expressed great interest.

Among them, whether Li Zicheng established the Dashun Kingdom in Xi'an or Xiangyang, it sounds like he was doing well.

But it would be a bit weird if Zhang Xianzhong, the "Daxi Emperor" in history, established the "Daxi Kingdom" in Jiangxi instead of Sichuan.

Although Jiangxi also has the word "西", looking at the map, it is obviously located in In the southeastern part of China, if the country was founded here and it was called "Daxi", it would be a bit inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Then, Wang Qiu was shocked to learn that Comrade Zhang Xianzhong had chosen a very imaginative and surreal country title for himself: "How could Zhang Xianzhong from the cute country come up with such a name?

This guy is obviously not cute at all, okay?"

Facing Wang Qiu's exclamation, Zhao Yingong was very calm, "Don't worry, I can confirm that this Zhang Xianzhong should not be a time traveler.

This country name has nothing to do with the cute culture of our time.

It is just following the end of the Yuan Dynasty."

The country’s old practice is just to plant grass on Ming Dynasty’s head.”

The so-called "Tianwan Kingdom" was the political power established in the Huguang area by Xu Shouhui, leader of one of the rebel armies, during the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

How did such a strange country name "Tianwan" come about?

This is actually a word-splitting game Tianwan.

If you remove the horizontal line above the sky, it will be Da, and if you remove the treasure hijab above, it will be Yuan.

In other words, my Tianwan Wan Guo will definitely be able to defeat Dayuan Guo, because I have literally suppressed you.

But in the eyes of modern people, the idea that the sky is over and the sky is over always means "it will be over in two days."

However, although Tian Wanguo's name was unlucky, its vitality was still tenacious.

It actually took nine years before it perished in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty.

Closer to home, now that Zhang Xianzhong has proclaimed himself emperor and wants to replace Daming in ruling the world, he also plays a word-replacing game with the word "Da Ming" and initially plans to name the country "Tianmeng".

However, his adopted son Sun Kewang, who had attended private schools for several years and had a little bit of ink in his belly, advised him that since ancient times, a two-character country name was not as noble as a one-word country name, so Zhang Xianzhong followed suit and changed the country name to "Big Meng", self-proclaimed "Cute King"

In short, in mid-July of this year, all the senior generals gathered in Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion, which was temporarily hung with bright yellow silk curtains.

Zhang Xianzhong, the "cute emperor" who has no cute elements in his body, sat high on the dragon throne, smiling at his subordinates and saluting: "Long live, long live, long live, your emperor."

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's territory was actually very small, only a small area from Jiujiang to Nanchang, but the ostentation was huge.

So since he ascended the throne, the "Meng Emperor" Zhang Xianzhong has been busy: first of all, he promulgated the reign name as "Tianmeng".

Although these two words are not used in the country's name, it seems good to change it to the imperial title.

Next, of course, he generously rewarded his subordinates and issued a lot of titles such as Grand Master, Prime Minister, and Duke.

Then there were countless bureaucracies imitating the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy, including the Cabinet, the Fifth Military Governor's Office, the Sixth Department of the Central Committee, and the Imperial College.

All the bureaucracies in the Ming Dynasty were established.

His Majesty Zhang Xianzhong, the "Cute Emperor", also had one.

I really don't know who he is.

How do you arrange the manpower so that you can actually free up manpower to go out and fight?

At this point, when the four kingdoms of Mahayana, Dazhou, Dajin, and Dayuan were competing for hegemony in the north, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in southern China also staged a tripartite drama of Dashun, Dachu, and Dameng.

The emperor's small separatist forces are too numerous to mention.

On the other side, I saw all kinds of vulgar barbarians, thieves and grass bandits setting up altars to worship heaven one by one.

They became emperors with various names one after another.

The real sons and grandsons of the Zhu Ming Dynasty also Unable to sit still, they also joined in the increasingly lively trend of proclaiming emperor.

The first person who jumped out was King Gui Zhu Changying.

He was the seventh son of Emperor Wanli.

He was granted the title of Hengyang in modern Hengzhou, Hunan.

He was the uncle and elder of Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Tianqi.

After confirming the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Changying, the king of Gui who had high ambitions but low power, jumped out openly at the instigation of a group of down-and-out scholars, saying that "the country is in trouble, and a eldest king must be established." , claiming to take over the burden of the emperor of tomorrow from the shoulders of the younger generation, and also claimed to "fight the rogue bandits in the north, drive out the Tartars in the east, and pacify the bandits in the south" to restore the ancestral country, and all kinds of free talk made the mountains ring loud.

However, His Highness Prince Gui was really unlucky, because his territory of Hengzhou happened to be caught between bandits and thieves.

As a result, he had just announced in the palace of Hengzhou that he would proclaim himself emperor and ascend the throne, and even the enthronement ceremony had not yet been held.

Before it could be held, Luo Rucai led tens of thousands of bandits to leave Changsha and rush to Hengzhou with great momentum.

At this time, King Zhu Changying of Gui, who discovered that he was unarmed, had to evacuate Hengzhou in a hurry and fled to Guilin, Guangxi.

Then, with the support of the Ming Dynasty officials in Guangxi, Zhu Changying finally successfully ascended the throne in Guilin, formally inherited the throne of the Ming Empire, and promulgated the new year name Yongli.

Unfortunately, the bad luck of Emperor Yongli seemed not to be over yet.

On the day after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he initially cleared out the "Australian thieves" in the occupied Guangdong area, and then raised 40,000 troops, claiming to be 100,000, to march along the Xijiang River.

Advance together and launch a massive Guangxi strategy In just one month, these short-haired soldiers with different skin colors and complicated flags invaded hundreds of miles of Guangxi, and defeated a series of famous cities and towns such as Wuzhou, Xunzhou, and Liuzhou.

The governors of Guangxi were all defeated and killed in Liuzhou.

Although Guilin seemed to be far away from the Kun bandits' front, Emperor Yongli, who had become a frightened bird, quickly fled and took the whole army over the mountains and ridges to escape to Guiyang.

However, just when the newly minted Emperor Yongli finally escaped to Guiyang City to take a breather, and was about to rely on the remaining Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to continue dealing with bandits and bandits, he unexpectedly Suddenly, a piece of bad news was received from the north like a bolt from the blue: In the second month after he proclaimed himself emperor in Guilin, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Shu Palace in Chengdu with the support of Sichuan civil and military officials.

Got it At this time, the internal contradictions immediately overwhelmed the external contradictions.

The two emperors of Guiyang and Chengdu denounced each other as false emperors, and talked loudly about each other.

At the same time, they tried their best to win over the hereditary Prince Mu in Yunnan, thus a drama unfolded.

"Three Kingdoms in the Southwest" However, since the king of Shu and the king of Gui did not have many soldiers and horses, and they were blocked by thousands of mountains and rivers, neither could attack the other, so this confrontation is expected to last for a long time.

At the same time, in the far northwest frontier, Zhu Shihong, the Su king of the Ming Dynasty, was also supported by the remaining civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty in Gansu.

He ascended the throne in Lanzhou to supervise the country, and a few months later he officially proclaimed himself emperor and established the A small separatist regime emerged.

In addition, King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, whose fiefdom was in Xi'an, originally seemed to have the intention of inheriting the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Shaanxi was too close to several powerful neighbors.

Before he could convince the civil and military officials in Shaanxi, the Guan Ning cavalry led by Wu Sangui, the crown prince of the Zhou Empire, had already captured the city of Xi'an.

The unlucky last king of Qin failed to escape when the city was destroyed and became a prisoner.

Then he was strangled to death in his palace by Wu Sangui's order with a bowstring.

As the Ming vassal kings such as King Gui, King Shu, and King Su proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, the land of China in the seven years of Chongzhen suddenly became more and more lively.

In the Ming Dynasty camp alone, six emperors stood at the same time, and the emerging countries were even more prosperous.

In one breath, there were the Great Yuan, the Great Qing, the Great Jin, the Mahayana, the Great Zhou, the Great Jin, the Great Shun, the Great Chu, and the Great Meng, a total of nine.

In a short period of time, it seemed that the matter of being lonely and few had been It has become a common practice in China.

So far, as for the epidemic of proclaiming emperor in China during the seventh year of Chongzhen, all modern Chinese travelers have just stayed away from it and just watched the excitement.

But then, Wang Qiu suddenly learned that they were also going to enthrone an emperor to the throne.

And she is also an underage empress, or a loli empress that is very common in anime but very rare in reality.

"Well, I basically understand the reason why the above agreed to canonize this female emperor.

Anyway, we are a republic, and the title of emperor does not matter.

But I remember that little loli seems to be living on Huaguo Mountain now.

Hehe, the Empress of Huaguoshan always sounds like a female monkey.

It seems quite interesting.

Why don’t you let me go there?"

Therefore, upon Wang Qiu's request, the relevant authorities prepared for him a set of clothes that were as gorgeous as stage drama costumes, as well as a "canonization imperial edict" written by the President of the country, and then sent him to Huaguo.

Shan, presiding over the matter of a certain little loli being crowned emperor oshow7:
