Great time travel

Chapter 143, Three Emperors Confrontation
In the city of Xuzhou, the "Imperial Palace" originally belonged to Wang Ke, the leader of Wenxiang, has now become the residence of Huang Taiji.

Sitting on a luxurious bronze and gilt dragon chair, watching Abatai's report on the occupation of Yangzhou sent by Abate from the front, Huang Taiji was full of emotions for a while: at this time last year, he was still with his brothers in the Fishing on the Liaohe River, but at this moment this year, the Eight Banners under his command have already drank horses in the Yangtze River.

Everything is beautiful like a dream.

And the other thing that made him feel more complacent was a high-end and elegant expression at hand.

"...Fu Yitai's first enjoyment, the beginning of the reformation by all nations, the righteousness of the planner, the benevolence of the Jiuzhonghong reformation. Leading the land to the sincerity, the whole world celebrates. Respect the emperor, inherit the sky and rule the sky, and use virtue to appease the people. Xie Ruitu is the first to appear, and the six universes wear the gods together, and they are born in the world, and they are the emperors of the eight wildernesses. At the end of the day, I have inherited the great kindness of the generations. Today, I celebrate the prosperity of the new dynasty. I look forward to the admiration of the holy learning, and I am afraid of the future. , Jin’ou is consolidated, and the spirit of the country is celebrated. The ministers and others are free to look up to the Xin Wuping camp. I would like to make progress and hear about it.”

Although this flamboyant "Advice to Advance" is nothing in itself, since entering Beijing, Huang Taiji has received several copies of the "Advice to Advance" which is even more brilliant than this, but at the end of this "Advice to Advance" The signature, but it is enough to raise eyebrows!
——This is the Confucian sage descendant of Qufu, Shandong, and the "Persuading Form" presented by this generation Yan Shenggong!
Although Confucian scholars in the world will not obey any order of Yan Shenggong, the submissive attitude of the Confucian Mansion in Shandong seems to mean the trend of the world's scholars today-this important political meaning is what really satisfies Huang Taiji place.

Therefore, Huang Taiji also reciprocated and issued an edict to reward Yanshenggong Mansion: "... Confucius, the first sage, is the ancestor of Taoism for all generations. Yan Shenggong and the four clans have been awarded the title of erudition, which can keep the country long and the humanities flourish."

If it is said that the "Encouraging Encouragement Table" presented by the Confucian Mansion in Shandong made Huang Taiji very happy, then the "Teacher's Token" presented to Huang Taiji by Wenxiang leader Wang Ke after he was captured and surrendered made him very dumbfounded up.

Because, that is a long fox with a docked tail!

——Decades ago, Wang Sen, the first leader of Wenxiang Sect, claimed to have rescued a fairy fox when he was preaching in the countryside of Hebei. , Many people belong to it, and it is called Wenxiangjiao.

Since Wenxiangjiao got its name from this fox tail, then this fox tail with "extraordinary fragrance" has naturally become the most noble holy object in Wenxiangjiao, and its status is similar to that of Buddha's relics and relics in Buddhism. The Christian "True Cross" is about the same.

If it were another king who received such a thing, it would probably be regarded as a rarity at best.But for Huang Taiji in this time and space, it is an indescribable shame - because among the folks in the Central Plains, he has the title of "the reincarnation of the demon fox Daji"!

——The reason why the talented and bold Huang Taiji became a vixen in this time and space is generally because of the butterfly effect brought by the traveler.

In the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, due to repeated disturbances by the traversers such as Huang Shi and Chen Xin, the record of the Jurchen Eight Banners is far less prominent than in another time and space.Especially on the Liaodong battlefield, when the menacing Jurchen iron cavalry was repeatedly hanged and beaten by Huangshi's pike infantry in various ways, the so-called "Jurchen is not full of ten thousand, full of invincible" battlefield myth has completely become a joke .

After Huangshi was transferred from Liaodong and moved south to Fujian, despite the leadership of Huang Taiji, the power of the Eight Banners soldiers and horses was revived again, and they came to Beijing several times.But in the eyes of the world, the rapid rise of Jiannu in Liaodong was not due to the invincibility of Jurchen iron cavalry, but due to the efforts of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, to support the enemy and betray the country.But in a sense, the fact is really true...

In short, until Huang Taiji broke through and took control of Beijing last year, based on past experience, the ruling and opposition parties of the Ming Dynasty agreed that the so-called Jurchen iron cavalry was not outstanding, and our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers beat them to the ground with a little effort.And the reason why the Jiannu Tartars have been able to make such a fuss over the years is not because the Jurchen cavalry are too good at fighting—in fact, these Tartars are very inexperienced, and often cavalry can't beat General Huangshi's infantry. There are always treacherous officials in the hall, and there are constant internal traitors who betray the country and frame Zhongliang, which led to such a corrupt defeat on the Liaodong front.

As for why there are so many civil servants and military generals who are fascinated, they go to the Jurchen as traitors one after another, and even lie in ambush in the court hall as ghosts, even if they destroy their families... Well, it is probably the result of building slaves Among them are masters of demons who are good at deceiving people's hearts, just like the Yellow Turban Taoism in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, they can hook people's souls away.

As a result, in the libretto of the storyteller in Beijing, the Jurchen thief chief Huang Taiji transformed himself into a nine-tailed male vixen who was reincarnated from Daji in the Shang Dynasty. A chaste and strong girl, as long as she is caught by Huang Taiji, her muscles and bones will become limp and dazzled. From then on, she will be willing to be lowly and serve him as a slave... For example, Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Dushi accidentally fell into his evil ways From then on, he was obedient to Huang Taiji, and he did not hesitate to ruin his reputation, ransom all his families, and also sent food and money to support the establishment of slaves. He also ordered to kill Mao Wenlong to paralyze Dongjiang Town, actively weakened the Great Wall's defenses, and finally helped Huang Taiji break through. Entering Beijing, the inside and the outside should cooperate to seize the 300-year-old kingdom of Ming Dynasty!

Because of the eloquence of this matter, some Jurchen and Mongolian dignitaries were dubious.There were even secret envoys of the Wenxiang Sect who came to Liaodong quietly, wanting to draw Huang Taiji into the sect in a whimsical way, and planned to make him the "Supreme Nine-Tails Guardian"! ! !
For such hateful rumors that denied his human identity, Huang Taiji, as a generation of heroes, was naturally very annoyed. He also tried to clarify and defend, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.Last year, after the generals in western Liaoning collectively turned against each other and sacrificed Shanhaiguan to Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners army marched furiously in the Central Plains, captured Beijing, established Hebei, entered Shanxi, swept across Shandong, and pulled out the strong city of Kaifeng, making the Qing Dynasty powerful all over the world for a while. , but the superstition that "Huang Taiji is a nine-tailed male vixen" has become more and more popular among the people of the Central Plains.

And the relevant practical basis is also very sufficient: If the slave chieftain Huang Taiji was not the reincarnation of the nine-tailed male vixen of Daji in the Shang Dynasty, then how could the Guan Ning Army, who was heavily supported by the imperial court and guarding the country for many years, suddenly turn against him collectively?And how could those Donglin gentlemen who have always been upright in Beijing, disregarding the reputation of Shilin, resolutely sell themselves and seek refuge?It is clear that Huang Taiji has already mastered the art of seductiveness, so he hooked their souls away!
Well, even this time the Confucian Mansion Yan Shenggong wrote a letter to persuade people to go in, maybe people will think of Huang Taiji's "Fox Charm Magic"!

Because such rumors are so loud, Huang Taiji has already suffered from a certain degree of "fox phobia". Whenever he hears any words related to foxes, his scalp will feel numb. I replaced a fox fur scarf with a bear fur...

Under such circumstances, seeing a fox tail presented by the members of the Wenxiang sect, one can imagine what Huang Taiji felt in his heart.However, he was also a generation of unrivaled hero who left his name in history, so he just rubbed his forehead and sighed, and basically recovered his composure.

"... Hehe, no wonder they sent people to the outside of the customs to seal me as the 'Supreme Nine-Tails Great Guardian'. It turns out that this sect has been burning incense for fox spirits from the very beginning... Uh! Wait! Since the Wenxiang Sect originally It is the one who worships the fox, but now he surrenders with his arms tied and worships me as the master, wouldn't that mean confirming the rumors circulating outside and proving that I am indeed the reincarnation of the nine-tailed male vixen from Daji from the Shang Dynasty?"

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt dizzy for a while, and felt that his whole body was not good again.

Fortunately, at this moment, a loud sound of gongs, drums and horns suddenly sounded from outside the door, interrupting his entangled thinking.

Immediately afterwards, another eunuch came in through the door, and said respectfully to Huang Taiji:
"... Your Majesty! The auspicious time has come! Your Majesty, please drive out of the palace and worship the heavens and the earth! All the ministers have been waiting for a long time!"

On July [-]th of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji set up an altar to worship heaven and earth in the outskirts of Xuzhou. Surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials, Huang Taiji officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. For the Qing emperor.At the same time, Huang Taiji announced that the Qing Dynasty would move its capital to Beijing, change the reign name to Chongde, and confer more than a dozen concubines, thus completing the identity change from the barbarian khan to the emperor of the Central Plains.

In addition, in order to show the difference from the Wanyan Jurchen Jin Kingdom in the past, Emperor Chongde Huang Taiji ordered to change the family name to Manzhou.

After the enthronement ceremony, surrounded by officials, Huang Taiji held a grand pilgrimage in the temporary golden tent of the imperial camp. In addition to the Manchu and Han officials and generals appointed by the Qing court, other people attended the ceremony. There are congratulatory envoys from various ministries of Mongolia and Korea.

Even the court of Emperor Yonghe in Nanjing bit the bullet and sent envoys to give gifts, and tried to take the opportunity to find out the truth about Jiannu.

During this great pilgrimage, the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and foreign ministers presented many precious gifts, including red and white coral trees, beads made of amber, coral, pearls, etc., as well as pearl flowers, agarwood, Jade belts, red gold jewelry, jade pots, cups and plates of various sizes and exquisite vessels made of jade, rhinoceros horn, glass, agate, gold, and silver; there are also sable, tiger, leopard, gauze, silk, Satin and other high-grade clothing materials, ginseng, horses, carved saddles, precious bows and carved feathers and arrows, tiger and leopard skins, exquisite glazed lamps, all kinds of precious porcelain, the best tea and fragrant wood, filigree and gilt armor, inlaid Seedling knives with precious stones, etc., were piled up in the big tent for a while.

In return for these gifts, Huang Taiji ordered the performance of "Hundreds of Operas" for the appreciation of the ministers at home and abroad.All of a sudden, the loud gongs and drums started, followed by a lively instrumental ensemble. The traditional musical instruments of the Han nationality were mixed with the national musical instruments of Mongolia and Manchuria, which appeared extremely lively.

After Lezhi, they began to play "Baixi", which seemed to be to bless the emperor's "Shenggong Kangle". The first program was the dragon dance.This program was supposed to be played at night, and it was called "Playing with Dragon Lanterns".Now it's changed to play during the day, so the lights in the dragon's belly are no longer needed.Accompanied by the deafening sound of gongs and drums, a long dragon, equipped with claws, leaps and leaps, stretches or bends, hovering in the middle of the courtyard, very vigorous.

After the dragon dance, the next program is the lion dance, and then there will be various juggling, wrestling, and dancing.The Mongolian men's dances are full of vigor and vigor, while the Jurchens' dances are similar to dancing gods, and some imitate hunting. It's the bad habits of vulgar people, but they dare not show it in front of Master Baqi, so they have to forcefully laugh with them.

Next, it was finally the turn of the Han courtesans in long skirts to appear on the stage. Their skirts were flying, their dancing steps were light, their singing voices were melodious, and their postures were graceful... It made the Han scholar-bureaucrats pleasing to the eye, and also made Huang Taiji feel very satisfied. The default told them to repeat the performance several times.Afterwards, these captured singing girls were rewarded to the meritorious officials. Finally, the emperor and his ministers feasted together until they were full of wine and food, and then they broke up happily.

So far, with Huang Taiji ascending the throne in Xuzhou and proclaiming himself emperor, within the traditional territory of Chinese civilization, there has been a situation where the three emperors confront each other.

Of course, compared with the Emperor Chongzhen who fled like a bereaved dog in Wuchang, and Emperor Yonghe who was like a clay puppet in Nanjing, Huang Taiji is obviously the most popular among the three emperors. He is about to become the most honorable person in the world.

In short, after the soldiers of the Eight Banners marched into Huainan and drank horses along the Yangtze River, the newly born Qing Empire immediately entered its most glorious peak.

Unfortunately, after the most glorious peak, the next moment is the darkest abyss!
When the "Emperor Chongde" Huang Taiji sat on the throne of the Xuzhou military camp, accepted the gifts and congratulations from the officials with a smile on his face, and at the same time imagined how to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and unify the world, but he didn't know the people who were thousands of miles away. My hometown in Liaodong has become a sea of ​​blood and fire!
——Under the joint efforts of the entire Huameng, the Liaodong Raiders that Vladivostok Crossing Group had planned for a long time before finally kicked off with a bang!
