Wu Zongrui did not enter the capital immediately, but settled in Tongzhou.

As a time traveler, Wu Zongrui doesn't have so many scruples. He will not push back and forth. If the opportunity is right, he will definitely ascend the throne of the emperor. Moreover, the current situation is pressing. Wu Zongrui has no way out. He must rush to the capital immediately to clean up the situation.

The endgame for the North.

It's a pity that although the wish is good, the reality is skinny.

Li Zicheng and his nearly one million Dashun troops were completely annihilated by the Denglai New Army. Li Zicheng, who ascended the throne, and Qi's main generals Liu Zongmin and others were beheaded by the Denglai New Army. The news spread quickly, not only in

It spread to the north and even reached southern Zhili and other places in the south. During the Chongzhen period when transportation was so underdeveloped, this cannot but be said to be a miracle. Of course, such a situation may also be the work of some people with ulterior motives.

When Liu Ning and others who were stationed in the capital entered the wing, their expressions were not very good.

Wu Zongrui put down the document in his hand, looked at Liu Ning and spoke.

"What's wrong? What happened? I came here in a hurry from the capital. Did Li Zicheng be killed by Denglai's new army? The Dashun army was completely wiped out by Denglai's new army. In the capital, some people stood up and discussed the situation in the world.

Already."

Liu Ning nodded vigorously.

"Sir, the Intelligence Department has got some information. Because Li Zicheng was killed and the Dashun Army was destroyed, some people in the capital came forward. While desperately advocating your merits, saying that the Ming Dynasty was finally saved, they discussed further suggestions.

Some people in the Ming court even talked without scruples, saying that although the Crown Prince Zhu Ci was killed by Li Zicheng, there were still many princes from the Ming Dynasty in various places. They said that the new Denglai army needed to welcome these princes to the capital.

Inherit the throne..."

Wu Zongrui smiled nonchalantly.

"Liu Ning, after hearing these words, felt uncomfortable, so he felt that Tongzhou had come to report."

Liu Ning nodded again, looked at Wu Zongrui and spoke.

"Sir, I think you should go to the capital and cannot stay in Tongzhou anymore..."

Wu Zongrui waved his hand.

"Don't worry, let all the noise come out, so that we can understand the situation clearly. It is better to defend the people than to defend the river. We have to let others say some things, so that others will feel comfortable when they say them. If we blindly adopt

With this coercive attitude, if we encounter trouble in the future, someone will follow and add fuel to the fire..."

Before Wu Zongrui finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Zeng Yongzhong and Liao Wenru also entered the side room.

"Sir and Wen Ru are here too. I believe you all know what happened in the capital."

Needless to say, you can tell everything just by looking at Wu Zongrui's face.

Zeng Yongzhong and Liao Wenru both nodded, and it was Zeng Yongzhong who spoke.

"Sir, I feel that you should go to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise some people will take advantage of the situation to make noise. Li Zicheng has been killed and the Dashun Army has been wiped out. At this time, you need to go to the capital to stabilize the situation in the north.

, leaving no opportunity for any other forces to take advantage of, some people are too naive, and actually want to welcome some Ming prince to inherit the throne..."

After Zeng Yongzhong finished speaking, Liao Wenru also spoke.

"Sir, you'd better go to the capital immediately. All the soldiers of the Denglai New Army are waiting. They hope you will go to the capital immediately so that they can feel at ease..."

Wu Zongrui let out a long sigh.

"Sir, Wen Ru, Liu Ning, you have been with me for many years. You know my temper. I just told Liu Ning that it is normal for the world to be noisy. Some people got it from the Ming Dynasty.

They have received too many benefits, and they are afraid that their own interests will be violated, so they still work hard to continue the Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng destroyed the Ming Dynasty and showed these people swords, guns and killings, so they dare not speak. As for me,

Well, I am much gentler in the eyes of everyone, and I am also a second-ranked Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Ji Liao. In this way, I also have the responsibility to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty."

"However, those people were wrong. I said at the beginning that the Ming Dynasty was rotten and beyond redemption. After this dynasty collapsed, although the world would be in chaos for a period of time, it would definitely be followed by great order, so the new

There is no way to stop the Ming Dynasty from replacing the Ming Dynasty. I think that what we need to pay special attention to now is the situation in the north. We must stabilize the situation in the north, at least so that Lao Baixin can stabilize it."

"April is the lean season. Long-term conquests in the north have led to a sharp decline in population, and this year's spring plowing has also been delayed. Therefore, stabilizing the situation in the north is not that easy."

"From now on, we need to attack from both sides."

"On the one hand, Zhang Xianzhong in the south, the generals of the separatist regimes in various places, etc. must be completely wiped out. They cannot be allowed to harm the local area and cause the situation in the south to become chaotic."

"Another aspect is people's livelihood issues. This is the most important issue at the moment. The people in the north have been displaced for many years. We need to stabilize them in the shortest possible time so that they can no longer starve to death."

"As for Hou Jin's Eight Banners Army, when our Denglai New Army faced the Dashun Army, they did not dispatch, and they will have no chance to dispatch in the future."

"Everyone, as long as we grasp the issue of people's livelihood and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, this matter of unification of the world will be a matter of course. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to obtain peace."

"So, you don't have to worry too much. If some people want to talk, let them do it."

...

After Wu Zongrui finished speaking, Zeng Yongzhong clasped his fists and spoke.

"Sir, regarding the matter of stabilizing the people in the north, the problem is not that big. The water transportation has been fully launched. The grains mobilized by Mr. Lu Faxuan from the south are being transported to Tianjin Port and will arrive in the near future. I believe that after the grains arrive in the north, they will be transported soon.

The problem of food shortage can be solved soon, and the people will be able to stabilize immediately if they have food to eat."

"My subordinates feel that your going to the capital is closely related to stabilizing the situation in the north. The world cannot be without its master. If you stay in Tongzhou, Lord Shi Kefa in Liaodong, Lord Wu Zongkun in Shandong, and Lord Lu Faxuan in South Zhili will not

So that you can free your hands and feet to do things, especially Mr. Lu Faxuan. He not only needs to stabilize the situation in southern Zhili, but also expands his strength towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang, taking the opportunity to stabilize the situation in the south. In what name will they do things?"

"Dorgon of the Later Jin Dynasty was also concerned about the situation in the north. When Li Zicheng occupied the capital, he had millions of troops under his command. Dorgon and the Manchu dignitaries of the Later Jin Dynasty even prepared to send personnel to the capital secretly to contact Li Zicheng and protect them.

Their own status, because they believed that Li Zicheng had a powerful force that they could not defeat. Denglai's new army completely defeated Li Zicheng. From this level, Hou Jin should have surrendered to you long ago. "

"I remember that your Majesty said that when the situation is constantly being disrupted, your Majesty must make a decision at such a critical moment."

...

Zeng Yongzhong's words were organized and his analysis was incisive.

Wu Zongrui thought for a moment, then looked at Zeng Yongzhong and spoke.

"Sir, what you want is to directly suppress and suppress those noisy voices."

"My lord, this is what I mean. Strength is respected. Sir, if you have enough power, you don't need to care about those noisy voices. If someone wants to force himself, just get rid of him, and the world will be much quieter."

Wu Zongrui showed a smile on his face and nodded.

"Sir, what you said makes sense. Well, let's leave tomorrow for the capital."

Zeng Yongzhong, Liao Wenru and Liu Ning all had comfortable smiles on their faces.

Zeng Yongzhong cupped his fists at Wu Zongrui and spoke.

"I will write a letter to Shandong now. Your family will also go to the capital together. You cannot always stay in Jinan Fucheng. This is against the rules. There are also Lords Lu Faxuan, Lord Shi Kefa and Lord Wu Zongkun.

We also want to go to the capital together. I wonder if Shanxi will send sergeants there to welcome the boss to the capital..."

Just when Wu Zongrui was about to say that it was not necessary, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Well, there's no need to disturb my hometown. We have more important things to do at the moment."

It has to be said that Zeng Yongzhong arranged everything very well. He should have thought about this a long time ago. After entering the capital, Wu Zongrui must ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and command the world, while Denglai's new army must quickly control Shaanxi.

Like Shanxi and other places, all the places in the north were controlled by the Denglai New Army, and Nanzhili in the south was also controlled by the Denglai New Army. It can be said that the Denglai New Army controlled most of the places in the original Ming Dynasty.

After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, the first thing Wu Zongrui faced was how to stabilize the situation in the north. There were too many things to consider, including the appointment of officials at all levels, including large-scale relief, etc.

Zeng Yongzhong’s suggestion is right. There is no need for Wu Zongrui to pay too much attention to those noisy voices. He still has too many major headaches to deal with. Having said that, among those who really make noisy voices, only a very small number of them are

Those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the rest were just outsiders. When they found something was wrong, they would immediately change their attitude.

To govern troubled times, one must not be too merciful sometimes. Wu Zongrui's method of dealing with Zhang Guowei, Song Xian and others was clean and neat, and it calmed many officials and scholars in Nanjing. The same thing happened in their hearts. When necessary, they must use

Only by using thunderous means can we truly stabilize the world.

The reason why Wu Zongrui hesitated was because ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor was no small matter. The so-called high place is too cold. In the past, as the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, he did not have so many worries and did not have so many clear-cut treaties. But once he entered the capital,

, once you become the emperor, you must restrain your words and deeds.
