After occupying Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong specially sent personnel to recruit Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shizhu to surrender. Unexpectedly, the envoy he sent was beheaded by Qin Liangyu mercilessly. This made Zhang Xianzhong extremely angry and prepared to send Li Dingguo to lead troops to conquer Qin Liangyu again.

The counselors around him suggested that Qin Liangyu should be ignored for the time being. After all, Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers had suffered a disastrous defeat and would not be able to recover for a while. Zhang Xianzhong's main purpose of recruiting Qin Liangyu was to subjugate the many chieftains in Sichuan.

In fact, most of the chieftains in Sichuan were defeated by Zhang Xianzhong. However, although these chieftains were completely defeated, they did not accept Zhang Xianzhong's rule, that is, they were dissatisfied, which gave Zhang Xianzhong a headache.

Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Xiangyang, Huguang, was ready to make a move. This time, Zhang Xianzhong showed no mercy and sent Sun Kewang to lead an army to conquer. Zuo Liangyu was frightened and led the army to quickly evacuate Xiangyang and go to Zhejiang.

At this point, Zhang Xianzhong's army controlled Huguang, Sichuan, and parts of Guangdong and Guangxi. Its strength was unprecedentedly strong, echoing Li Zicheng's north and south.

After the news that Li Zicheng was completely defeated and killed by Denglai's new army reached Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong did not show any joy. Instead, he set up a mourning hall to pay homage to Li Zicheng. In any case, Li Zicheng was originally the Chuang King recommended by various rebels.

Zhang Xianzhong understands the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.

Sichuan is not peaceful. The remaining Ming troops in various places are still secretly launching attacks on local areas. The main force of Zhang Xianzhong's army is stationed in the Chengdu area. Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo lead their armies to Xiangyang in Huguang and Maozhou in Sichuan respectively to conquer and station.

Sichuan, known as the land of Shu, has complex terrain, many places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and many places are sparsely populated, with the mountains being sparsely populated. This also made Zhang Xianzhong's combat mission to defeat the remnants of the local Ming army difficult.

In the process of attacking Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong's methods were quite brutal. All officials of the Ming Dynasty who were unwilling to surrender, as well as vassal kings from various places in the Ming Dynasty, including chieftains from various places, were all killed.

Zhang Xianzhong killed countless magistrates, prefects, and county magistrates, as well as Xuanfu envoys, Xuanwei envoys, etc. Zhang Xianzhong killed countless people.

Zhang Xianzhong believes that through such means, people can be surrendered.

After Wu Zongrui, the former governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Xianzhong could no longer hold himself back. There were remnants of the Ming army in various parts of Sichuan, and local scholar-bureaucrat families also acted secretly, causing Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army to suffer considerable losses. The advisers around him

It is also suggested that Zhang Xianzhong should ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so that he can command the world, and perhaps the scholar-bureaucrat families in Sichuan, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi will surrender.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, who had won successive victories in foreign expeditions, also wrote letters, imploring Zhang Xianzhong to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong made up his mind to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Chengdu, Sichuan.

On the fifth day of July in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong ascended the throne in Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor. The founding name of the country was Daxi, and the name of the country was changed to Dashun.

In history, Zhang Xianzhong also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, but the time was November 16.

...

Fuzhou, Fujian.

The Governor Tongzhi, Fujian Commander-in-Chief Zheng Zhilong, former Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou, etc., welcomed the Tang King Zhu Yujian and supervised the country in Fuzhou with the intention of restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong's influence in Fujian is extraordinary. He is wealthy and arrogant. There is no comparison with his son Zheng Chenggong. In history, Zheng Zhilong was famous for the armed maritime business group he ran. After being recruited by Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, he stayed in Quanzhou and started the Zheng family dynasty.

After the Qing army entered the customs, the Tang king Zhu Yujian supported by Zheng Zhilong was captured by the Qing soldiers. Zheng Zhilong immediately surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was not so polite to Zheng Zhilong. It placed Zheng Zhilong under house arrest in the capital and threatened his son Zheng Chenggong to surrender. Later, he surrendered Zheng Chenggong many times. To no avail, Zheng Zhilong lost his use value and was immediately executed by the Qing Dynasty. All the wealth that Zheng Zhilong had amassed, which was unparalleled in the country, was also acquired by the Qing Dynasty's dignitaries.

As for Huang Daozhou, he is also a famous person in history, and he has met Wu Zongrui several times.

History books still have a high evaluation of Huang Daozhou, but later people gradually realized that people like Huang Daozhou, in troubled times, pursued perfection too much, occupied their minds with moralism, and were full of bookishness, and it was difficult to propose any ideas for governing the country. Strategy, so some history books commented that Huang Daozhou "keeps upright but cannot change, dares to violate Yan's direct advice but is broad-minded, and is strict in self-discipline but does not help matters. He is definitely not a pillar of talent."

As for the Tang King Zhu Yujian, he was quite a talent.

Zhu Yujian suffered a lot, and was almost tricked by his grandfather and failed to become the king of Tang Dynasty. Zhu Yujian in history, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Hou Jin invaded Northern Zhili and raised troops to serve as king. He was severely punished by Emperor Chongzhen and was deposed as a commoner. He was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion in Fengyang. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself. After Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong came to the throne in Nanjing, he granted amnesty to the whole country. Only then did Zhu Yujian leave Fengyang Zongren Mansion and move to Fuzhou in Fujian.

Of course, after Wu Zongrui traveled through time, the situation was completely different.

King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty did not have the opportunity to raise troops to serve the king, because Wu Zongrui led the Denglai New Army and defeated Azige who was invading North Zhili, forcing Azige to lead his troops and evacuate North Zhili. Zhu Yujian's fiefdom was in Nanyang, Henan, led by Li Zicheng After the Dashun Army captured Kaifeng Fucheng in Henan, they immediately began to conquer the entire Henan Province. Zhu Yujian was unable to resist the fierce attack of the Dashun Army, so he chose to leave Nanyang and go to Fengyang Fucheng in South Zhili. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian He was so anxious that he no longer had the energy to ask about many matters of the clan, so he did not care about Tang Wang Zhu Yujian's unauthorized departure from the fiefdom of Nanyang.

After South Zhili was gradually controlled by the Denglai New Army, Zhu Yujian chose to leave again and went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. However, his life in Hangzhou was not satisfactory, and the power of the Denglai New Army was also extending towards Zhejiang.

Zhu Yujian had clearly felt that the actions of the Denglai New Army were unusual, but he had no place to complain.

Li Zicheng led the Dashun Army to capture the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself. After the news that the Ming Dynasty no longer existed reached Hangzhou, Zhu Yujian was grief-stricken and went to pay homage to Emperor Chongzhen at his residence. At this time, Governor Tongzhi of Fujian Commander-in-Chief Zheng Zhilong sent personnel to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province and made contact with Zhu Yujian.

So Zhu Yujian quickly set off for Fuzhou. With the support of Zheng Zhilong, Huang Daozhou and others, he began to supervise the country in Fuzhou.

...

Zhejiang, Hangzhou, General Military Mansion, Wing Room.

Zhejiang Commander-in-Chief Liu Zeqing and Jiangxi Commander-in-Chief Liu Liangzuo finally met.

The banquet was prepared in the wing room. This was the first time Liu Zeqing arranged a banquet in the wing room.

"Brother, thank you for your warm hospitality..."

Seeing Liu Liangzuo being so polite, Liu Zeqing waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother, please don't be so polite. I am just doing my duty as a landlord. If I have the opportunity to go to Jiangxi in the future, why don't I have to take care of me..."

Before Liu Zeqing finished speaking, Liu Liangzuo sighed heavily.

"Oh, don't say it anymore. The situation in Jiangxi is different from Zhejiang, and even more different from Fujian. The emperor's hometown is in Anyuan County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi. I don't know how many people have come to visit. I have never been there. However, the governor has not

I took the lead to go to Anyuan County. I couldn't stand it, so I simply came to see you..."

Liu Liangzuo refers to Wu Zongrui, who had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Liu Zeqing was silent for a moment and then spoke again.

"Huguang Commander Zuo Liangyu and Fengyang Commander Gao Jie have already sent me letters. They are all coming to Zhejiang..."

Liu Liangzuo's eyes widened instantly and he valued Liu Zeqing.

"There are other things like this. Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie are coming to Hangzhou..."

Liu Zeqing picked up the wine glass on the table.

"Brother, don't think so much for now. We drink wine and eat meat, and our stomachs are protesting."

Liu Liangzuo obviously did not understand what Liu Zeqing meant. He had already led tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to Hangzhou and was preparing to station in Shaoxing. This way, he and Liu Zeqing could stay on the same page. If they were attacked, the two sides could assist each other. However, Zuo Liangzuo

When both Yu and Gao Jie came to Hangzhou, the situation was different, especially for Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Huguang. It is said that he has hundreds of thousands of sergeants under his command, and his strength is not bad. They came to Hangzhou, how could Liu Liangzuo still be there?

Stationed in Shaoxing.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one breath, Liu Liangzuo placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Brother, this Zuo Liangyu was decreed by the imperial court as General Pingthief. However, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Huguang, he did not fight with him at all and ran away. Now he is still thinking of coming to Hangzhou. It is obvious that he wants to preserve his strength. If Zhang Xianzhong is allowed to

When he enters Hangzhou, brother, many things will be difficult to handle..."

Liu Zeqing looked at Liu Liangzuo, smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"Brother, what should I do according to you?"

Liu Liangzuo thought for a moment.

"Brother, I will definitely support you and I will definitely obey your orders. But it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu. I heard that Zuo Liangyu has hundreds of thousands of sergeants under his command. If he comes to Hangzhou, what will happen to him?"

You have to be the boss..."

Liu Zeqing poured wine for Liu Liangzuo and spoke slowly.

"According to reliable information, Zuo Liangyu has nearly 200,000 sergeants under his command, and he also owns a lot of warships..."

Liu Liangzuo's face suddenly turned pale.

"Brother, you must pay attention. If Zuo Liangyu really comes to Hangzhou, it will be difficult to handle. How about this. Brother, you suggest Zuo Liangyu go to Fuzhou in Fujian. Zheng Zhilong supports the Tang Dynasty king and supervises the country.

Well, then we need military support..."

Liu Zeqing picked up the wine glass again.

"Brother, don't think so much for now, drink wine and eat meat, drink wine and eat meat..."

...

After the banquet was over, Liu Liangzuo said goodbye and left.

Liu Zeqing's expression became solemn, and he looked in the direction Liu Liangzuo left and murmured to himself.
