Nanjing Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Cilang slowly read the copy of the manifesto of the Qingfan Lieutenant Zhu Shuaiqin, who was in a very complicated mood.

On April 27, the gentry from Dezhou, Shandong, led by Lu Shihan, Zhao Jiding, Li Zanming, Cheng Xianzhen, Xie Bi, Ma Yuanli and others suddenly launched an attack and cut off the officials stationed in Dezhou who were pseudo-Shun in Dezhou. They jointly recommended Zhu Shuaiqin, who was living here, as the leader of the alliance, pretended to be King Ji, and called on the children in Shandong to uprising the matter anyway.

Zhu Shuaiqin wrote in the manifesto: "The unscrupulous school lived in the heavenly family, and was loyal to the king and relatives, and was suitable for taxes to be held in Decheng. The right crimes of the evil current should be promoted and the people should be constrained. I heard that my king still had a six-foot orphan, and more than one-cent loan of the world. His Sima traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and the flags and flags advanced together. Wu General Rong Yang, and the Qing soldiers led the Han generals to the north, and the Qing army led the Han generals to join the army, and there were many quick sounds, and they responded from many parties. I knew that the restoration was not far away, and I knew that the revival was on the horizon. In the play, Xinshi, Pinglin swept away the Han ancestors, and thought of the Ming Dynasty, Qingxuchou snatched the Tang Dynasty. From the turbulent evil, I would definitely die. I did not lose my spirits. I made a righteous act together and saw the Changshi early."

Zhu Shuaiqin started on April 27th, when Zhu Cixuan had ascended the throne for two days. However, considering the speed of information transmission during the Ming Dynasty and the blockage of traffic between the north and the south at this time, it is understandable that Zhu Shuaiqin did not know that Zhu Cixuan had ascended the throne.

Historically, Zhu Shuaiqin issued a manifesto at this time, calling on Shandong and Hebei to revive Shandong Dezhou, Jinan Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Linqingzhou, Wuding Prefecture, Gaotang Prefecture, Binzhou, Haifeng, Putai, Zhanhua, Laiwu, Lingxian, Leling, Lijin, Jiyang, Shanghe, Qidong, Le'an, Chaocheng, Enxian, Pingyuan, Deping, Linyi, Yucheng, Yangxin, Wucheng, Ningjin. Hejian Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Jingzhou, Jizhou, Cangzhou, Wuqiao, Gucheng, Wuyi, Jiaohe, Xianxian, Wuqiang, Dongguang, Raoyang, Hengshui, Qinghe, Quzhou and other places in the north.

At this time, the situation was very favorable to the Southern Ming court. Unfortunately, the Hongguang court at that time was worried that the acceptance of Shandong, Hebei and other places would cause anger to the Qing Dynasty, so it turned around to attack them, so it refused to take a step forward in the Jianghuai River, and did not give Zhu Shuaiqin any support. Until June 21, the army led by Jueluo Bahana and Shi Tingzhu came to the city of Dezhou, and Zhu Shuaiqin still led his army to fight. In the end, because his subordinates were not as strong as the Qing army, Zhu Shuaiqin led his troops to surrender.

In the past month, the Hongguang court did nothing, and watched the Qing Dynasty take over Shandong, thus losing its strategic depth.

In this time and space, Zhu Shuaiqin's prefectures and counties that were restored in Shandong were probably the same as in history, and the situation in Northern Zhili was much worse. Except for Daming and Cangzhou and other sporadic places, most of them were under the control of the Shun Army. Of course, the Qing Dynasty soon accepted the entire Northern Zhili, Daming and Cangzhou, the two enclaves, which were not spared.

The situation in Henan is a bit complicated. At this time, western Henan was in the hands of Li Zicheng. Huaiqing, Zhangde and Weihui, north of the Yellow River, were under the control of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the prefectures and counties in Henan were controlled by bandits and warlords.

Of course, Zhu Cilang would not repeat the same mistakes. Compared with Henan, Hebei and Shandong's geographical location is more important. Whether it is to block the Qing army from going south or to the northern expedition in the future, it is a must-see place.

In Zhu Cilang's mind, Shandong is more important than Henan and Hebei. Judging from the current situation, Shandong is also the most easily recovered land in Nanming.

But now Zhu Cixuan has not fully integrated the forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the new army has just begun to train. At this time, the forces it can mobilize are the "private soldiers" in the hands of several warlords.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cilang felt that at this time, he should be stronger, at least he should not let the people of Daming in Shandong feel disappointed.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Cilang said majesticly: "Gao Jie, the General of Xuan Xuzhou, met with him."

Immediately, a eunuch conveyed the emperor's will step by step. Gao Jie, who had been waiting in Fengtian Palace, was shocked and quickly followed the eunuch to step up the steps.

It was May (lunar calendar), and the weather in Nanjing was unbearable. Gao Jie's official robe was soaked, but he didn't care about so much at this moment. He followed the eunuch respectfully until he entered the main hall of Fengtian Hall. He still couldn't believe what happened.

The emperor wants to summon him personally!

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding fathers, military generals were basically suppressed by civil officials.

This was even more true in the late Ming Dynasty. There were many cases of third-rank military generals kneeling down to fifth-rank civil officials. Any censor could scold the generals and ordered his followers to take these Qiu Ba down and beat them.

In this case, the military generals were naturally trembling. Even if they were generals, they were just a foil for civil officials.

Civil officials can meet you, you can give up, and you can enjoy the honor and favor of meeting the emperor, but it is basically impossible for military generals.

Although Gao Jie became the general in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he had never been summoned by the emperor. It was because the new king summoned him this time that he was so excited.

When he entered the main hall, Gao Jie immediately pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground, and politely said: "I, General Gao Jie of Xuzhou, pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Cilang raised his hand slightly and said, "I'm calm."

Gao Jie stood up tremblingly, but did not dare to look up.

Although he had seen Zhu Cilang in Huaian Prefecture just a month ago, Zhu Cilang was still the crown prince at that time, but now he has ascended the throne and cannot be compared.

Especially in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City, the majesty of the royal family was fully demonstrated. Gao Jie only felt that his breathing was rapid and he might faint at any time.

"Come here, give Gao Qing a seat."

Zhu Cixuan's next sentence made Gao Jie feel so happy that he almost fainted.

"I thank your majesty for your grace!"

Soon a little eunuch put a brocade pun in the hall. After Gao Jie thanked him, he carefully sat down.

After thinking about it, he didn't understand why the emperor summoned him alone. Even if the emperor asked about military affairs, shouldn't he ask the ministers and the elders? Temple calculations and planning are always the affairs of civil officials. Military generals only need to obey civil officials to fight.

"Gao Qing, come and take a look at this manifesto."

Zhu Cilang gave a wink at the inner supervisor with the attendant. The eunuch immediately respectfully took the copy of the manifesto, then quickly walked to Gao Jie and handed over the manifesto.

Gao Jie took the manifesto and read it. Although he was illiterate in his early years, he also asked a master to teach him how to read after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. Now he has known basic characters.

At first he was calm when he read this manifesto, but he saw that his eyebrows were twisted together at the end.

Zhu Cixuan saw all this and said lightly: "I have decided that the court will immediately send an army to Shandong to take over all prefectures and counties anyway. Gao Qing thought, who should I send?"
