483 The King of the World
In order to survive, everyone has to work hard for life. Surviving in troubled times is even more difficult and requires more effort. However, some people live very well in troubled times.
Lu Haoshan is one of them.
If fighting for the world is regarded as a project and governor is regarded as a profession, then Lu Haoshan is definitely a very successful boss, because hundreds of thousands of employees make profits for him every day, and large tracts of land and large amounts of money are collected in the warehouse every day, and various good news also fly like snowflakes.
Lu Haoshan felt like he had a lot of money in his account every day when he opened his eyes.
Such a life is simply happiness.
Zhang Xianzhong fell, Li Zicheng died, and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty became rats crossing the street. As well as the thieves in the Han gang, they also rectified the Dharma one by one. Others who were not very fussed and failed to make a move. The only one who prevented the Sichuan soldiers from advancing was the Southern Ming regime headed by Zhu Yousong.
Nanming was still as weak as ever. Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong was just a playboy with no ambition. The court formed by several forces did not accept anyone. It was like a mess of sand and had a common ruler in name, but he was in private and his imperial edicts were not effective, let alone various decrees.
Occupying a large area of fertile land, lying on the richest areas of the Central Plains, and there are millions of armored men, which sounds very powerful, but Lu Haoshan had long included the Southern Ming in his sphere of influence.
After conquest and incorporation, Lu Haoshan's troops took over 600,000 troops, which was the result of removing a large number of old, weak, sick, disabled, and soldiers. Otherwise, it would be easy to get a million troops. These 600,000 troops were all elite soldiers, and they were not afraid of the Southern Ming Dynasty in terms of military strength.
In addition, there were no capable people in Nanming. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng colluded with each other to frame the loyal and good, and the upright people were all excluded from the court. Zuo Liangyu was captured alive by Zhang Rui and Li Dingguo, and he had been beheaded on the crime. The rest of the famous generals were Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Zheng Zhilong. However, under the guidance of Chen Hongfan, Gao Jie, Huang Degong and Zheng Zhilong had secretly sent someone to Lu Haoshan to send the surrender letter to Lu Haoshan.
In addition, the letters of secret surrender by officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty and gentry piled nearly two feet high on Lu Haoshan's case. The general trend of the world is to see the common people who farm and harvest firewood. Why can't they see it?
Even without the surrender of these people, it was only a matter of time before Lu Haoshan took over Nanming. Zhao Gongchang, who was guarding the foreign land, could not hold back. With his repeated assurances and requests, Lu Haoshan agreed to his southern expedition. Zhao Gongchang had already prepared his troops. As long as Lu Haoshan gave an order, he immediately went to Yunnan, and the mountains stationed in Chongqing were also ready to go to Guizhou.
In addition, Tang Qiang, Li Dingguo, Zhang Rui and others also prepared to cross the river.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is lacking, which is Li Nian, a military advisor under Lu Haoshan.
For some reason, Li Nian asked Lu Haoshan to wait in the letter, and then decided until the two of them met. If it were other people, Lu Haoshan would definitely be disdainful, but this came from Li Nian's mouth, and Lu Haoshan said he had to wait for anything.
Li Nian is not a targetless person. Without something important, he will not make this request.
In fact, Li Nian did not ask Lu Haoshan to wait too long. Lu Haoshan received Li Nian's letter less than three days. Li Nian came, and the speed was so fast that Lu Haoshan was shocked. From Chengdu to Xi'an, it was at least a thousand miles away. Although Li Nian was a military advisor, he didn't know how to do Tengyun Jiawu. He must have been on the way when he discussed with him.
"Students meet Dongweng." Li Nian immediately bowed when he saw Lu Haoshan.
Lu Haoshan immediately helped him up and said, "Mr. Li, you are exempt from gifts. We have known each other for many years, so these common rituals will be exempted."
"Yes" Li Nian looked at Lu Haoshan and suddenly said with some emotion: "Dongweng was overworked and lost weight."
"Haha, I have been very happy recently, but my husband is busy with everything in the back, and my husband has lost weight."
Li Nian's eyes were still so bright, but at less than fifty years old, he turned white and had a hunched back. He looked a little thin. Compared to two years ago, he seemed to have grown much older all of a sudden. He guarded the rear alone, made suggestions, analyzed intelligence, recruited and trained troops, managed local affairs, raised food and grass, collected taxes, etc., all of which were all carried on his shoulders. Thanks for his hard work.
There was no battle figure on the battlefield, but his heavy military achievements were indispensable.
"I dare not, these are what students should do, eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries."
He spoke too seriously, Lu Haoshan turned to smile and said, "Mr. Li, when he said he met, he suddenly appeared. He would not learn from young people's surprises."
Li Nian smiled and said, "I dare not, how dare the student make such a joke with his boss? This is actually what the two ladies mean."
The two ladies? Lu Haoshan was stunned for a moment, but before he could come back to his senses, two beautiful figures suddenly appeared in front of the door. No, it was four figures. Zhao Min and Du Yuexuan stood in front of the door in a pretty face, each holding a child in their hands, Zhao Min was holding a chubby little boy, and Lin Yuexuan was holding a little girl with small braids.
Needless to say, the little boy is his son Gou Yuan, while the little girl is his daughter Lu Ruirui.
It has been almost two years since we left Sichuan to fight. When we suddenly met, Lu Haoshan found tears in his eyes. He just held back and did not shed it.
"Gou Sheng, go, that's your father. Go quickly and call him dad." Zhao Min bent down and pointed at Lu Haoshan and said to his son.
"Rui Ruirui, where is Dad standing? Go and hug." Du Yuexuan said with tears in her eyes.
Seeing his children, Lu Haoshan could not bear it. He hurriedly walked over and picked up a pair of children with one hand. At this moment, Lu Haoshan felt that his heart was about to melt.
"Mom, I want Mom."
"Wow"
The dog was young when it was born, and I couldn't remember Lu Haoshan's appearance. It was the first time Ruirui saw Lu Haoshan. Lu Haoshan suddenly rushed over and picked them up, which scared them and started crying on the spot. Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan hurriedly approached and hugged them, gently patting their little butts. In this way, the family of five hugged each other, the two children cried, and the two women wiped their tears, which made Lu Haoshan feel comforted one by one.
Looking at the hall, it was empty, and at some point Li Nian and his servants left.
This is how smart people are sensible.
Seeing his family who had not seen for a long time, Lu Haoshan was in a good mood. While watching the two naughty children making fun in the garden, he held Zhao Min and Du Yuexuan while holding one. Sitting and enjoying the blessing of being together.
As he spoke, Lu Haoshan suddenly asked curiously: "You two didn't inform me why you came. Today I was really surprised, but it was a surprise."
Du Yuexuan twisted a hand around Lu Hao Mountain and said angrily: "I heard that many people give you beautiful women. If we sisters don't come, maybe there will be no place to stand."
"Where?" Lu Haoshan said innocently: "I can't handle official duties every day. You can see this kind of heart. I am the only one in the whole room. Well, look, even dogs belong to the public."
"What are you talking nonsense?" Lin Yuexuan kissed Lu Haoshan quickly: "You are good, I will reward you."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "My husband, that's a joke. Two days will be eighty-two. My sister Xuan discussed your birthday. I'll take my child to spend it with you, and also spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. You know, my son hasn't seen his father for a long time. He clamors to see him every day, so he discussed giving you a surprise. I'll blame you for begging Mr. Li to cooperate, right?"
"Where?" Lu Haoshan hugged the two of them emotionally and said, "It's wrong for husbands. You can't accompany your family every day. You are ashamed of being a husband and ashamed of being a father."
"No, we all understand."
"Yes, a good man is determined by all directions, my husband, and we sisters are proud of you."
There was nothing to say. Lu Haoshan hugged the two women tightly, and neither of them spoke. At this moment, silence was better than sound, and everything was indifferent.
In order to welcome the family and Li Nian, Lu Haoshan asked the chef to make a table full of dishes. Everyone talked about it, but after halfway through the meal, Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan each carried the child out to play because they knew that the two men had something to say.
Li Nian finished a glass of wine, smashed her tongue and said good wine.
Lu Haoshan filled him with the wine pot, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Li, let's get back to the point. I don't know what the purpose of this trip is?"
The army was ready for the southern expedition, with hundreds of thousands of people and the food consumed every day were astronomical, and Lu Haoshan didn't want to wait.
Li Nian did not answer Lu Haoshan's words, but looked around the room and asked casually: "Dongweng, what do you think of this kind of house?"
"Yes, a typical Jiangnan garden-style creation method, with a quiet and winding paths." Lu Haoshan said with a smile.
In fact, this house is really good. Lu Haoshan has never moved in after moving in.
"Sir" Li Nian suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "Don't you think the house here is actually not worthy of you."
Lu Haoshan asked curiously: "Oh, where is the house that is my official?"
“The Daming Palace in Beijing is good.”
The Ming Palace was the imperial palace of the previous dynasty. Li Nian now advised herself to live in the Grand Palace, Lu Haoshan, but was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Li Nian advised herself to be emperor.
Since separating Sichuan, his subordinates have no idea of many hints or explicit statements that they have become emperor. Lu Haoshan must be unmoved and refuses when the time is not ripe. Unexpectedly, Li Nian once again mentioned the old words at this time.
Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Actually, my biggest hope is to be a monetary, live a carefree and peaceful life, and then do something you like to do, which is enough."
Li Nian smiled indifferently and said disrespectfully: "Dongweng, without the ability to protect himself, the mogul may become a fat sheep in the eyes of those who are interested. The wife and daughter in the family may cause trouble because of their beauty. Even if they do what they like, they sometimes need power to protect them. A real man will naturally be willing to revenge. If Dongweng sits on the dragon throne, he can rule the world and do what he likes without any scruples."
After saying that, before Lu Haoshan could speak, Li Nian continued: "The soldiers who fought bloodyly on the front line need honor and wealth. Dongweng, you don't want to follow you, and you have no support for your brothers who have been born and died, and you have no place to care for your illness, right? Then it means that the chaos is over, natural disasters, and the people in the world have been in trouble for a long time. They need a wise ruler to guide the way, and they need a good environment to recuperate. If Dongweng doesn't sit in that position, then they will be dissatisfied with each other, and disputes will arise in the world, and the turmoil during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms may be reproduced."
"that's all?"
"that's all."
Lu Haoshan is not an indecisive person or a saint. He pondered for a while, then turned to Li Nian and said, "I heard that Mr. Li has also learned about the Book of Changes, so please choose a zodiac auspicious day for me."
"This matter is for the students." Seeing Lu Haoshan agree, Li Nian immediately said happily.
"Mr. Li, I don't understand one thing."
"Dongweng, please speak."
Lu Haoshan said with a puzzled look: "Is there any conflict between proclaiming emperor and the Southern Expedition? Why do we need to figure out this problem and go on the expedition before we go to the expedition?"
"Yes, the governor of Sichuan was the title of the previous dynasty, and the Southern Ming was the blood of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. If you beat him like this, someone might put the charge of regicide on Dongweng. Dongweng would not recognize them first, and then change his course and change his course to open them. He would list their faults and inactions, so that he would be justified and become famous."
So that's how it was, Lu Haoshan suddenly realized.
It was after this conversation that history unknowingly opened a new page:
On September 16, 1642, Sichuan Governor Lu Wenhua proclaimed himself emperor in the ancient city of Xi'an. On the same day, he led his troops to fight south;
On November 27, 1642, Emperor Hongguang Zhu Yousong, who was desperate, led civil and military ministers to surrender in Yangzhou, and the Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed;
On January 1, 1643, Lu Wenhua held a throne-taking ceremony in the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace in Beijing, changed the country's name to Gan, and rewarded a large number of civil and military officials;
On October 18 of the same year, Xiao Qing, the remnants of the Dagan Army, opened the first page of the Dagan prosperous era.
