Along the way, the people of Wuchang Mansion were crowded with spectators.
When the common people saw that King Chu was tied to the horse, they knew that his death was coming.
Although they usually hated the king of Chu for extorting and extorting them cruelly, but seeing him being captured by Zhang Huanghu in such a miserable state, they couldn't help worrying about their own fate, but felt a little sympathy for him.
When they saw the dead bodies pulled by the bullock cart behind them, some people were even more frightened.
A group of people came to the bank of the Han River in a mighty way, and the common people also followed to the bank of the river to stop and watch.
It was not the Dragon Boat Festival at this time, but Zhang Huanghu ordered people to set up a sacrifice by the river to commemorate Qu Yuan. He got off his horse and read the sacrificial rites in front of the Han River in person. After the rites were read, he led a group of generals to drink wine in the river, and sank several pigs and sheep that had been slaughtered in the kitchen of the King of Chu's mansion before they had time to cook as sacrifices. in the river.
After finishing these, Zhang Huanghu turned around and announced that he was sending the King of Chu to see Dr. Qu.
Two soldiers stepped forward to help the already insensitive King Chu to the riverside, and the salute officer sang loudly, "Send the King Chu!"
Two soldiers pushed the King of Chu into the river violently. The river was rushing, and he was rushed downstream immediately. Everyone saw him floating and sinking in the water for a while, and then sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.
The soldiers threw all the corpses pulled in the ox cart into the river.
After the ceremony, Zhang Huanghu delivered a speech to the people of Wuchang Mansion, talked about the significance of the ceremony, praised Dr. Qu's loyalty and loneliness, compared his actions with Qu Yuan, and declared that he admired Dr. Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is loyal to the state of Chu, but he does not agree to die meaninglessly like Qu Yuan. The real loyalty should be to save the state of Chu and the world like him.
At the end of the story, he declared himself the King of Daxi, changed Wuchang Mansion to Kyoto, and changed its name to Tianshou Mansion. All the people who surrendered to the Daxi court were safe and sound.
Zhang Huanghu also announced that the Daxi court would give relief to the refugees and poor people who had no means of livelihood in Wuchang Prefecture, and announced that they would open a course to recruit scholars in the near future.
Although the people of Wuchang Mansion were skeptical about this, they still applauded and cheered as usual, especially some Confucian scholars and scholars, who heard that they were going to open a course to obtain scholars, and there were officials, they were all eager to try.
Zhang Huanghu was very satisfied with the effect, so he went back to his residence and returned to the Chu Palace. At this time, the Chu Palace will naturally be changed into the Daxi Palace.
Later, Zhang Huanghu set up six ministries and five mansions, set up five city soldiers and horses in the Tianshou Mansion in Kyoto, and set up officials in the surrendered states and counties. Send the surrendered officials and the officials under him to serve.
And erected two large banners in front of the Daxi Palace, which read "Heaven and people return, recruiting talents", and erected two large banners at each of the nine gates of Tianshou Mansion, which read "The world is quiet, the power shakes all directions".
Because the Daxi regime was in its infancy, and there was a shortage of officials at all levels, Zhang Huanghu quickly opened a course to recruit scholars. In the palace examination, 30 people were selected as Jinshi, and another 48 people were selected as janitors. All of them were awarded official positions, and Jinshi arranged. Go to the prefectures and counties to be the official of the hall, and the janitor is the second assistant of the state capital.
Zhang Huanghu got the silver taels from the King of Chu and the rich gentry and rich households in Wuchang Prefecture, so he couldn't help feeling a little rich, so he distributed the silver taels to help the hungry people in Wuchang Prefecture and various states and counties, and bought people's hearts. He also issued a decree requiring all men in Wuchang Prefecture between the ages of fifteen and twenty to join the army. These men are men from various households in Wuchang Mansion, and now they all join Zhang Huanghu's army, which means they are Zhang Huanghu's hostages, and they can be regarded as collaborating with Zhang Huanghu, so they have to share weal and woe with him.
At this time, Zhang Huanghu was in the Wuchang Mansion, where the fire was cooking, the flowers were blooming, and it was very lively.
On the other side, while Zhang Huanghu was aggressively attacking Wuchang Mansion, Li Wuke had already led his army to conquer Hanyang Mansion, and Shang Meizhang was also driven to Jiujiang Mansion by him. One of the excuses, although it is an excuse, is partly true.
Hanyang Mansion is only across a river from Wuchang Mansion, and Li Wuke is stronger than Zhang Huanghu. Attacking Wuchang Mansion from Hanyang Mansion is really like finding something out of a pocket.
However, when he was about to capture Wuchang Mansion, something happened in the army. Luo Rucai, the "Cao Cao" who had taken refuge in him, and another team, Zhu Dahu and Lian Shenggong, had the heart of rebellion. After hearing the news, he hurried back to Xiangyang , dealt with three people, after the three people were dealt with, the morale of his original army was unstable, so he had to stay in Xiangyang to take charge, and he had no time to attack Wuchang Mansion, so Zhang Huanghu took it away lightly and skillfully.
At this time, when he heard in Xiangyang that Zhang Huanghu had established the Daxi regime in Wuchang Mansion, he recruited troops and appointed officials. He couldn't help being annoyed, so he wrote a letter to him.
Li Wuke also called himself King Chuang after the death of the former leader of the heroes, King Chuang, Gao Fengji. He was originally the adopted son of Gao Fengji.At this time, he regarded himself as Gao Fengji's successor, and later on he was really powerful, and the heroes came to him one after another, and he even considered himself the leader of the heroes, so in the letter to Zhang Huanghu, he used the tone of a superior to a subordinate .
?The letter said that Zhang Huanghu was originally a rogue criminal prisoner. By chance, he was favored by Chuang Wang Gao Fengji and was listed among the generals. He should want to repay his kindness. But thinking that Zhang Huanghu guarded Wuchang Mansion for himself, the merits and demerits are equal, and he will not be held accountable. Let him continue to guard Wuchang Mansion and remove his abusive name, and wait for the future discussion.
Zhang Huanghu was very angry when he got this letter, but he knew in his heart that he was not Li Wuke's opponent, so he could only swallow his anger and received him politely. And sent a messenger to present to Li Wuke with the gold and jewelry from the Chu Palace. Unexpectedly, Li Wuke detained his messenger. Zhang Huanghu was furious when he got the news.
However, since he knew that he was not Li Wuke's opponent, he had nothing to do but get angry. But he was naturally unwilling to guard Wuchang Mansion for him, so he had other thoughts.
At that time, his counselors Wu Yigui and Xu Qiyu had been killed by the officers and soldiers, so he found the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War, Qiu Wuhe, the prefect of Tianshu Prefecture, Qiu Hewu, the prefect of Hanyang Prefecture, Yang Kaiyun, and Zhang Zhiyou. The former commander of the army, Zhang Dahan¡ªhe is the vanguard of the Chinese army at this time¡ªcome to discuss this matter.
Everyone's opinion is the same as what he thought in his heart, that is, it is not appropriate to openly turn against Li Wuke at this time. One is that his own strength is indeed not Li Wuke's opponent, and the other is that the officers and soldiers are still eyeing him. After entering the Great Governor Hu Diyuan, the gentry in the surrounding areas of Wuchang Mansion also had many militia soldiers in their hands. These were their common enemies with Li Wuke. Once they competed with Li Wuke, they would only benefit the officers and soldiers.
Since it is inappropriate to openly turn against Li Wuke, what can we do? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
