How to make a famous minister

Chapter 92

In the ninth year of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Huang Taiji couldn't wait any longer.He couldn't wait to become a generation of emperors and accomplish what the Jurchen leaders could not do.

In April, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing, changed the name of the country to Qing, changed the name of the year to Chongde, and changed the name of the family to Manchuria.

Since then, he and the Ming Dynasty have been on equal terms in name.Although this is the case.

In fact, the meaning of Huang Taiji is not only to be on an equal footing with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

He considers himself the number one Jurchen emperor, and his martial arts are comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Han people. How can the current Emperor Chongzhen of the Han people issue a sinful edict in three or two days, how can he compare to himself?

Therefore, there is a great reason why he changed the country name to "Qing".

"Qing" means "Qing", these two characters have the same sound, and the blue sky means the sky, which is auspicious.

Moreover, the word "Ming" in the Ming Dynasty has "日" on the left, which means fire.And on the left side of the word "Qing" are three points of water, water overcomes fire, and the Qing Dynasty is destined to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

The reign title chosen by Huang Taiji is "Chongde", which is also opposite to Zhu Youjian's reign title "Chongzhen".These two year names both carry the character Chong, and the character Chongzhen is Chongtian and Chongshen.Huang Taiji was changed to Chongde, and the left side of the word De is Shuangliren, which means respecting people.

Not only in the choice of the country name and year name, but also the name of the palace.In the palaces of the Ming Dynasty, the Qianqing Palace was the residence of the emperor, and the Kunning Palace was the residence of the empress.Qian is Heaven, Kun is Earth, Qian is Yang, and Kun is Yin.In the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Huang Taiji and Zhezhe's bedroom is integrated, named "Qingning Palace".

Huang Taiji was very proud, "Although it was not intentional, the name of Qingning Palace, which was taken unintentionally, included the world, the sun and the moon. It can be seen that it is God's will for me to replace Daming with Daqing!"

The news spread back to the Ming Dynasty. Although the details of the name change could not be heard, the founding of Ligustrum was a real event.There were great fluctuations among the people in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no splash at the top of the court.After all, the two countries have been hostile for many years, no matter how much the other side talks, it can't compare with real swords and guns...

Compared with Huang Taiji's self-proclaimed emperor, the cabinet is more concerned about the severe drought in Shanxi, and Emperor Chongzhen is more concerned about the imminent arrival of the capital.

From the following May until the end of the year, as Huang Taiji’s first war to promote military force after changing the country’s name, the Qing army should go straight into Gyeonggi, forcing martial law in the capital.

However, he is no longer the powerless Daming he was back then.After so many years of rectification, Zhu Youjian believes that today's Emperor Ming has a clear government, people's aspirations, and a brave army. Even years of turmoil have been suppressed. Not only that, the Ningxia turmoil that would have occurred this year has also not appeared.It strengthened his confidence even more.Zhu Youjian believed that he already had the ability to compete with Huang Taiji's soldiers.

until June.

Huang Taiji, who had just changed his country name to Qing, needs a victory, and the Ming Dynasty, which has been fighting and losing repeatedly, is the best opponent.

Zhu Youjian was also ready early.There have been few rebellions in various places in these years, and he was able to draw out troops, march in the dark, and set up a formation under the Great Wall early on, which made the Qing army who wanted to surprise them serious.

"This is one of the rare times for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to discover in advance." After finishing speaking, Azig laughed loudly, raised his head, and took a gulp of strong wine.

He was ordered by Huang Taiji to lead one hundred thousand and eight bannermen to attack Ming.Seeing that the Ming army was waiting in strict formation, the troops entered the pass from Xifengkou and Dushikou in three routes.

When everyone in the account heard the words, they all burst into laughter.For them, attacking the Ming border was not a big deal, it was just a means for them to plunder gold and silver, and capture slaves, and even the chance of being promoted to rank could only be put behind.

The Qing army has never taken the Ming army seriously, and it is the same this time.

Azig's gold and silver treasures are enough, and there is no shortage of slave women. He is thinking, His Majesty is now in a good mood, so why not take this opportunity to fight a big one, to make His Majesty happy, and to treat himself as the king of the county? The title is also mentioned.

Thinking of this, Azig couldn't sit still anymore, and summoned the herald: "Send the order, set up camp on the spot today, sons and daughters have a good rest! Tomorrow morning, kill all the cowards of the Han people!"

Before he finished speaking, he won applause from the army tent, "Good! Good! The king of the county is so brave!"

Azig smiled all over his face, as if he had seen the title of prince waving to him.He raised his wine glass again and said happily: "When we win our first victory tomorrow night, we won't go home without getting drunk!"

"Okay!" After finishing speaking, everyone drank the spirits in their glasses and left one after another.

The general Zhu Youjian sent this time was Pu Chiyuan. He was originally the general of Datong and had many years of experience in dealing with the Qing army.

In this war in the previous life, Park Chiyuan was also one of the few who won the battle.In addition to Park Chiyuan's vanguard, Zhu Youjian also sent Lu Xiangsheng as the Chinese army to support the formation.These two are veteran generals.Lu Xiangsheng even made great contributions to the suppression of rebellion in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Zhu Youjian is full of expectations for this general match.

In his thinking, it is only natural to at least stop Azig from the Great Wall instead of beating the [-] Qing troops.

Even though Zhu Youjian had never told anyone about his plan, facing the tense emperor all day long, there were naturally more ministers who went to speculate on his thoughts.

The consequence of this is that the tense atmosphere among the people is almost breaking the string.But above the court, they showed a strong confidence in this war.

But in this self-confidence, it is not known whether it is the trust and trust in the national army, or the fear that if the war fails, His Majesty will liquidate a wave of people.

Fan Xuanchao can be regarded as a relatively calm type, he at least maintains a half-fifty attitude towards the outcome of this war.If he insisted on what he said, he even thought that the Qing team had a better chance of winning.

After all, Zhu Youjian's big change of blood was mainly concentrated among civil servants.And in the military attache and the army, the penetrating breasts and rotting carrion were not cut off.They are even more difficult to deal with than civil servants!

"Aiqing, do you really have such a low evaluation of the strength of our Huangming army?" Zhu Youjian held the teacup, if the person who said this wasn't Fan Xuanchao, Zhu Youjian didn't want to show a good face anymore.

Only Fan Xuanchao could make him anxious and extremely anxious.

"It's not that we don't have confidence in the army. It's that our army has always lost more than we won when we fought against the Qing. The humble minister is just a routine worry."

Zhu Youjian lazily dropped the tea lid on the mouth of the cup, making a crisp "da" sound.

"Since that's the case, Fan Aiqing should be careful and take a good look at it."
