Chapter seven hundred and seventieth I am very relieved
When this incident reached Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty was preparing for the return of capital.
Zhu Yicheng has decided to return the capital after the spring next year, which is a great event for the Ming Dynasty. Beijing will mark the Ming Dynasty's announcement to the world that it has truly become the lord of China. After all, although Nanjing is one of the two capitals, for the world, Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to pay back, you can pay back. In fact, since the capture of Beijing, Zhu Yicheng has already started to prepare. He has also spent a lot of effort on Beijing over the years. And a few months ago, Zhu Yicheng also began to move some departments from Nanjing to Beijing to make preparations in advance.
Just like ordinary people move, even the most ordinary people can move this family as soon as they want to move, let alone the capital of such a huge empire?
During the reign of the capital, there were too many facts to be taken into account, and the normal operation of the court had to be ensured, so Zhu Yicheng handed over this matter directly to Liao Huanzhi to lead the various departments and gave him great rights.
Liao Huanzhi was particularly concerned about this matter. Besides, Liao Huanzhi knew very well that as the chief military minister, he had not had much time in this position. I am afraid that when the Ming Dynasty officially returned to Beijing, he would retreat from the position of Minister of Military Affairs.
In other words, this may be the last and most important thing that Liao Huanzhi did for the Ming Dynasty as the Minister of Military Affairs. Once this matter is done well, it will be of great significance to the entire Ming Dynasty or to himself. For this reason, Liao Huanzhi has been busy all these days, doing all kinds of things, but he has not complained at all, which makes Zhu Yicheng extremely satisfied.
On this day, Liao Huanzhi, who was listening to the report by the Ministry of Revenue, suddenly received a message from the yamen. The content of the message was naturally the news that Zhao Hongcan called himself King Song and said that the Ming Dynasty was surrendered. At the same time, it also brought information about the reopening of the war in Guizhou. When he heard this news, Liao Huanzhi could not sit still. After giving a few words, he hurriedly left the Ministry of Revenue and rushed back to the Military Affairs Office.
"Zhongtang!"
As soon as they entered the gate of the Military Affairs Office, they saw that the two military affairs ministers were waiting for him. Except for Dong Dashan and Wang Dong were not in Nanjing because of the Holy Order, the rest of Wang Fan and Shi Yi immediately came up to meet him.
"Has the news been confirmed?" Liao Huanzhi asked directly when he saw them.
"It has been confirmed. This is Zhao Hongcan's report. Please read it." Shi Yizhi handed over something in his hand. Although he and Wang Fan were both military ministers, they had no right to deal with the matter, so they could only ask Liao Huanzhi to come and deal with it.
After taking it, Liao Huanzhi opened his eyes and looked at it a few times, his face changed slightly, and then he said, "This matter cannot be delayed. You can go to the palace with me to see the emperor."
Shi Yizhi and Wang Fan nodded immediately, and the three of them turned around and headed towards the palace. They said before that the location of the military office was connected to the palace, which was also set up by Zhu Yi who became the Minister of Military Affairs.
Therefore, Liao Huanzhi and others reported through the palace guards and eunuchs, and soon entered the palace. After entering the palace, the three of them quickly walked to the side hall where Zhu Yicheng was always there.
"The emperor, eight hundred miles of speed, Guangxi Zhao Hongcan proclaimed himself the King of Song, and submitted a letter to him to surrender." When he saw Zhu Yicheng, Liao Huanzhi said directly, and at the same time handed over the document in his hand.
When Zhu Yicheng heard this, he was stunned at first, then his expression was a little complicated, but he didn't say anything, and directly reached out to take the document.
After expanding it, I saw that the content of this document basically stated that Zhao Hongcan is not now an official of the Qing Dynasty. His troops left the Qing court from now on, changed their clothes and flags, and led Guizhou to a hundred thousand army to restore the Han people's clothes and clothes, respect the Emperor Ming, and lead troops to conquer the Qingyi to restore the Han family.
The article is full of nearly a thousand words, but I don’t know who I found to catch the knife. This article is written in a bunch of flowers and has a brilliant literary talent.
Finally, Zhao Hongcan also called himself a subordinate to Zhu Yicheng, expressing his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and in a tactful way, he expressed his intention to be willing to keep the border for the Ming Dynasty forever after taking over Yunnan and Guizhou.
After reading this thing, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help laughing. The laughter echoed in the hall, making him laugh so hard that he almost couldn't even straighten his waist.
"How do you think about this?" After laughing for a long time, Zhu Yicheng asked the three military ministers in front of him.
The three of them looked at each other, and Liao Huanzhi hesitated and said, "Zhao Hongcan's move is not a bad thing for the southwest. Now that he rebelled from the Qing Dynasty, it will be beneficial to the situation in the southwest. In my opinion, the court can wait and see what it does."
"What Zhongtang said seems inappropriate." Shi Yizhi did not think so, and immediately opposed it: "It is not important whether Zhao Hongcan rebels against the Qing Dynasty or not. This person had already divided the same rule in Guangxi. Although he had shown his favor in private over the years, he never expressed his intention to submit to the Ming Dynasty. What's more, now he now praises our Ming Dynasty on the surface, but he also calls himself the King of Song and intends to settle in the southwest of Shishi Town. His ambitious person is actually a big trouble!"
"Wang Fan, what do you think?" Zhu Yicheng did not agree with their answer, but instead asked Wang Fan, who had not answered yet.
Wang Fan thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about military ministers, but the emperor had already decided on the southwest policy back then, and I know a little about his intentions. Whether Zhao Hongcan really wants to surrender to our Ming Dynasty or have other intentions, it doesn't matter to me. What's important is the consequences of his actions."
Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng laughed again, stood up and picked up the document, looked at it with a disdainful expression, and then threw it to the side like garbage: "This Zhao Hongcan seems smart, but is actually a fool. If he raises his troops to surrender, I may give him glory and wealth, but he just calls himself the King of Song and boasts about being the descendant of Zhao Song. This is simply a big deal. Can I cheat me?
"The Emperor's Holy Lord!" As soon as Zhu Yicheng finished speaking, everyone hurriedly said yes.
"But..." Zhu Yicheng changed his tone at this time and smiled: "Zhao Hongcan's actions have helped me a favor. I had heard that the four forces in Guizhou seemed to have reconciliation, and I was worried that they would stop there. In this case, I will take some effort to recover Yun, Gui and Gui in the Ming Dynasty. Now, Zhao Hongcan will not jump sooner or later, but now I call King Song, and the three provinces will definitely be in chaos..."
After pausing, Zhu Yicheng said, "Transfer my will to the world. King Zhao Hongcan of Song has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. I am very relieved. I will reward 200 pieces of silk, silk, satin, 10,000 silver dollars, a scoop of jewelry, and ten jade Ruyi..."
