Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 257 Chapter 257, Zhu Cihong arranges subordinates, the internal preliminary decision of the Ming Dynasty
"Da Shun is completely finished."

When Zhu Cixiang said this, his mood was calm and his tone was calm.

At this moment, Zhu Cixiang was sitting in the original "Imperial Study Room" of Li Zicheng, which was the study room of the Qin Palace in the Ming Dynasty. In front of him were Gao Dejie and several other confidants, and a huge map hung on the wall.

On the top of the map is written the name "Shaanxi-Gansu-Jin Situation Map", which shows that Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, and a small part of Henan, Hubei, and Sichuan are also "friendly entry".

There are two colors on this situation map, one is red that symbolizes Ming Dynasty, and the other is blue that symbolizes Dashun.

Just now, Fang Gongqian enthusiastically painted the last city that was still marked in blue with red.

So far, all the cities in Dashun have returned to the rule of Daming (at least in name), and Daming has once again completely controlled the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and all the envoys for the announcement of the government, the envoys for the punishment, and the envoys The Command and Envoy Division of the capital has also resumed normal operation.

Gao Dejie said: "Your Highness, a small number of Li Zicheng's subordinates escaped into the Xining Guard area, were hunted down by the local chieftain, and then entered Qinghai."

The Ming Dynasty originally had many guard posts near the Western Regions, such as the Hami Guard, the Shazhou Guard, the Anding Guard, etc., which were also the front line against the Oirat Mongol Alliance.

However, with the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national power, most of these guard posts have been abandoned. Xining Guard is one of the few guard posts that is still barely maintaining operation.

This is not because Daming has any capital to maintain the garrison of Xiningwei. In fact, most of the northwest frontier troops of Ming Dynasty have fled to the interior to join Li Zicheng's Dashun Army.

The existence of Xiningwei is only because the local chieftain is still willing to be loyal to Daming out of friendship of more than 200 years.

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, and said: "That's fine, let them find Wala if they like, it doesn't affect anything. By the way, I heard that Wala's Heshuo Special Division has gone south to Qinghai and Tibet, so we should pay attention to this. "

Gao Dejie was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Qinghai and Tibet are a barren land, what are these Mongolians doing there?"

Zhu Cihong laughed, and said solemnly: "No matter how barren the land is, as long as you can be the master of this place, that's enough! Lao Fang, you remember, from now on we will send some elite soldiers to enter Go to Qinghai and Tibet, and collect information for this palace, understand?"

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Qinghai and Tibet have always existed in the territory, but these two places are different from the Central Plains. The imperial court did not directly appoint officials to rule, but the imperial court appointed local chieftains and religious leaders to control the local area. rule.

For example, Qinghai is closer to Shaanxi, and the situation is a little bit better. The religious leaders in Tibet have seen the decline of Ming Dynasty these years, let alone sending troops to serve the king, and even the envoys who should pay tribute every year are too lazy to send. Conclusively say that it is not safe for Li Zicheng to harm the Shaanxi envoy on the road.

More importantly, Zhu Cixiang knew very well that the Heshuote tribe among the Oara tribes has now entered Qinghai and will soon go south to occupy Tibet and establish a Heshuote Khanate that occupies most of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Isn't this bullshit?
The land of Ming Dynasty, how could these Oirats be allowed to set up some shit khanate?
The historical Khoshot Khanate was actually a short-lived regime.

But in Zhu Cilang's place, Epiphyllum can't be allowed to bloom!

Fang Gongqian heard the words and hurriedly responded.

Zhu Cihong knocked on the table and said: "Okay, let's pass on the order, and the teacher will be formally taught in three days."

Dashun had already perished, so Zhu Cihong naturally didn't need to stay in Xi'an for long.

It is only necessary to leave enough troops to garrison here, and the next things like rebuilding the order of the Ming Dynasty will naturally be made by the court and the cabinet, and the Six Departments will be responsible for specific measures.

Before leaving, Zhu Cihong mainly did two things.

The first thing is to have people go to Zhang Xianzhong's hometown in Yan'an Prefecture to look for Li Dingguo. Since Shaanxi has just stabilized and the local situation is chaotic, there is no news yet.

The second thing was to summon the Dashun officials who surrendered.

In the main hall of the Qin Palace, Zhu Cixiang looked at the Dashun officials who were kneeling on the ground in darkness, and spoke calmly.

"The imperial court is fair, and you don't need to worry about retaliation. From a common sense, if you did some things that were sorry to Daming during your allegiance to Dashun, it can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of Dashun's courtiers. Daming does not It will go too far. However, if someone goes too far, the crime is too heinous, and the laws of Ming Dynasty will naturally not be lenient, do you understand?"

These Dashun officials are naturally submissive.

Zhu Cihong wasn't in the mood to babble with these guys, anyway, they were reciting the lines according to the imperial decree sent by Chongzhen, and it was over after the recitation was over.

Many Dashun officials quickly retreated, and only Niu Jinxing and Li Yan stayed behind.

Zhu Cilang looked at Niu Jinxing and said with a smile: "Lord Niu, you must do well for Daming in the future. I am still very optimistic about the day you enter the cabinet."

Today's Niu Jinxing has been promoted to the Zuobu Political Envoy of the Shaanxi Chief Envoy of the Ming Dynasty. He is a second-rank official of the Ming Dynasty and is responsible for assisting the upcoming Shaanxi Governor of the Ming Dynasty in handling Shaanxi's internal political and civil affairs.

Some people are about to ask, how did Niu Jinxing fly from a fifth-rank Jinyiwei Qianhu to a second-rank chief envoy of Daming Province in an instant like a rocket?

On the one hand, it was because Niu Jinxing, as one of Dashun's de facto prime ministers, was considered an iconic figure.Letting him take up this official position can effectively calm the hearts of Dashun's surrenders and set an example.

On the other hand, and the most important reason, Niu Jinxing has the support of Zhu Cihong.

Niu Jinxing knelt down to Zhu Cixi with a pop.

"His Royal Highness, please don't worry. From now on, my minister, Niu Jinxing, will only follow His Royal Highness's lead. Your Highness will never go west if you let your ministers go east!"

Zhu Cihong smiled, and looked at Li Yan who was at the side: "So, what about you?"

Li Yan obviously has already made plans, and said in a deep voice: "If His Royal Highness is willing to take him in, Li Yan is willing to serve His Highness from now on until death!"

Zhu Cilang smiled and patted Li Yan on the shoulder: "There is no need to die. For me, the ones who die should be my enemies, those enemies of Ming Dynasty!"

Looking back on this trip to the south, Zhu Cihong can be said to have gained a lot.

Not only did Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng be put down one after another, but they also gained capable subordinates like Niu Jinxing and Li Yan, which made the Prince's Mansion, which was lacking in talents, gradually enriched.

If we say that the Daming when Zhu Cilang just crossed over was a critically ill patient who was lying in the ICU and could die at any time, then the current Daming is a complete success of the operation and has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.

It's just that although Daming's internal problems have been initially resolved, there are still many external problems.

The innovation has not yet succeeded, and the prince still needs to work hard!
