Chapter 433

As the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing is undoubtedly the most well-known accompanying capital throughout the ancient and modern dynasties.

There are imperial palaces, six Shangshu and various yamen, Nanjing Jingying, eunuchs and maidens in the palace, and 24 prisons. It can be said that as long as there are in the capital, there are also in Nanjing.

The only thing that doesn't exist is the lack of a real emperor on the Dragon chair in the Fengtian hall.

Moreover, these yamen are not all furnishings, but still have some power, such as the Ministry of war and the Ministry of rites.

Even in previous years, the imperial examinations were divided into North and south. Students from southern provinces had to come to Nanjing to participate in the rural examination. Only after high school could they go to the capital to participate in the joint examination.

It can be said that in history, if Chongzhen did not commit suicide and die for his country, but fled to Nanjing early. Even if he went alone, he could take over the southern provinces instantly, and the Yamen could operate at the first time.

But such a perfect accompanying capital system did not play a role in the death of the Ming Dynasty. It was better than the unprepared Southern Song Dynasty and Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The reason is nothing more than the word "internal struggle", which is also a curse that can never be eliminated on this land. Compared with the internal struggle of previous dynasties, the internal struggle of civil service groups in the late Ming Dynasty can be said to have reached the point of no bottom line.

It is for this reason that he will play a hard hand of good cards. He is not too strong, but he is too incompetent.

Compared with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the later Jin Dynasty was really nothing. Even if it was as strong as the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the weak Song Dynasty also struggled to support it for a hundred years.

However, neither the powerful Mongolian Yuan Dynasty nor the golden age after bad luck can directly conquer this land. They all rely on the strength of the Han people themselves.

Qin Huan knew this. The army started from Wuchang and went all the way east along the North Bank of the river. After entering Anqing, it was a small river ten miles and a big river hundreds of miles. There were paddy fields and lakes everywhere. The continuous spring rain was maddening.

When fighting in the north, it's called a pleasure. The cavalry encircles in a roundabout way, and the army comes and goes straight, galloping freely. They can fight as they want.

But when fighting in the south, it's called holding back. You have to choose a place to fight. Depending on the weather, you have to have a 120000 spirit to March. You should not only prevent the mountain forest from suddenly rushing out to ambush and ambush, but also prevent people from flooding the low-lying place. Once it rains heavily, the army will have to stay where it is.

I'm afraid no militarist wants to fight in the south.

Qin Huan did not intend to rely on the Navy this time because many of its warships needed to be repaired. In addition to the lessons learned last time, Qin Huan asked the Navy warships to be responsible for maintaining the smooth waterway and ensuring the logistics supply of the army.

Qin Huan brought almost all the soldiers and horses in Wuchang this time, including three towns, one cannon fodder camp and one firearm camp.

When Qin Huan and his army arrived at the foot of Anqing City, Li Dingguo also killed Nanchang. They were South and North, obviously trying to win the whole Jiangnan at one fell swoop.

If he had not known that Lu Xiangsheng was not a mediocre, Qin Huan really wanted to bypass Anqing and the States and counties along the way, and the army went straight to Nanjing.

Because as long as Nanjing is defeated, there will basically be no one in the whole Jiangnan to resist him.

At this time, there was still a quarrel in Nanjing, and the date of King Yi's accession to the throne could not be finalized.

Although Lu Xiangsheng only brought 20000 troops to cross the river, these 20000 troops and horses greatly boosted the morale of the Donglin Party, and King Yi's waist finally stood up.

So how could Zuo Liangyu agree to let Ma Shiying, a former eunuch, be the first assistant?

In addition to Zhou yanru, Qian Qianyi is the first candidate acceptable to the Donglin Party, and the two have jumped up and down these days.

When it comes to power, Zuo Liangyu is naturally not the opponent of these Donglin people, but this time, marshal Zuo seems to be determined. If the Donglin people cite scriptures and dry their mouth, they will bite to death.

If the first assistant is not Ma Shiying, he will not be the governor. The crown prince, the imperial protector and the loyal and brave marquis will not want to go back to his hometown to farm.

Of course, even if the Donglin people are naive, they all know that it's a joke to let Zuo Liangyu go home to farm. It's almost the same for Zuo Liangyu to let them go home to farm. Therefore, they are angry at Zuo Liangyu's arrogance.

"Your Highness, Ma Shiying used to cling to the eunuch party and trap loyal and good people for personal glory. How can such villains be the first and auxiliary?"

"Qian Qianyi, don't go too far. I've endured you for a long time. Ma Shiying is a villain who is greedy for wealth and prosperity. What good thing are you Qian Qianyi?

Hum, Zhongliang? I'm afraid all the civil servants except you Donglin Party are treacherous officials. His highness King Yi's purpose is to get rid of treacherous officials and revitalize the Ming Dynasty. But among the six parts above the Imperial Hall of the capital, the Minister of justice is not from your Donglin Party? "

"Ma Shiying, don't confuse the public. Now it's not about the imperial court in the capital, but about the candidates for the first auxiliary and ministries after the new emperor ascends the throne."

Qian Qianyi's old face turned red, pointed to Ma Shiying and scolded. Most of the people in the hall glared at Ma Shiying. Unless Marshal Zuo stood aside with a knife handle and looked covetously, I'm afraid he would really kill Ma Shiying.

"Well, Aiqing, don't quarrel any more." Yi Wang on the Dragon chair waved his hand with a headache. He quarreled like this every day, which had upset him, and his sense of expectation of sitting in the emperor decreased a little.

When they saw King Yi's words, they had to stop one after another. King Yi took a look at Zuo Liangyu, a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. They also looked at Ma Shiying, who was determined to tie Zuo Liangyu together. Finally, they had to look at Lu Xiangsheng, who had been silent, and asked, "Lu Aiqing, what do you think of the first and second candidates?"

"Your Highness, I think Ma Shiying has enough qualifications to serve as the first deputy. Now the strong enemy is pressing the border, and the imperial court is waiting for prosperity. As long as he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't have to care too much about his previous mistakes."

Lu Xiangsheng was helpless to the extreme when he stepped out of the line. The reason why he kept silent was that he knew that once he opposed Ma Shiying as the first auxiliary, he would immediately meet Zuo Liangyu.

But if he agrees, he will offend Qian Qianyi and Zhou yanru. I'm afraid it will be bad for the future situation. But now, he knows that he can't do without saying his position. If the quarrel goes on like this, I'm afraid it's not them who will discuss the first and second choice, but Qin Huan sitting here to discuss the date of accession to the throne.

"Governor Lu is wrong!"

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng helped Zuo Liangyu and supported Ma Shiying as the first assistant, Qian Qianyi frowned and said. Others looked at Lu Xiangsheng in the same puzzled way.

However, King Yi's heart was like a mirror. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng agreed, he knew that it was meaningless to say more. Finally, he made a final decision and let Ma tuying serve as the first assistant, Zhou yanru serve as the second assistant, Qian Qianyi serve as the Minister of officials, and Lu Xiangsheng serve as the Minister of war, the Ministry of work, the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of rites and the Ministry of households.

Among the other officials of the six ministries, Zuo Liangyu only nominated Mr. Wu as the right Minister of the Ministry of household, and Lu Xiangsheng proposed Shi Kefa as the left Minister of the Ministry of household.

In addition, Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the Duke of Zhenguo, the crown prince and teacher, Zuo Liangyu was Zhongyong Hou, the crown prince and Taibao, and served as the governor of the five armed forces. It was determined that he would ascend the throne tomorrow.
