Chapter 623: Miao Renhu was brought from Nanjing to Taiyuan by Yu Dayou, which means that the Nanjing capital has been destroyed by Yu Dayou. The process of being broken was not described in too much detail. The reason is that Nanjing was broken too easily. As soon as Yu Dayou's 100,000 troops arrived, Nanjing didn't even organize basic resistance, but the city gates were already opened by several generals who wanted to surrender. In less than three hours, the entire Nanjing was completely controlled by Yu Dayou. Since Yu Dayou was able to come to Shanxi from Nanjing, it means that the road from Nanjing to Shanxi has basically been opened by him. Taking a detailed look at the obstacles on Jiangxia's road to becoming emperor, in fact, the Nanjing capital is a knot. As long as this knot is broken, the entire Ming Dynasty will no longer be able to find anyone who can prevent Jiang Xia from becoming emperor. Why do you say that? The reason is simple. Once you come to Nanjing, it is the only place besides the capital that has a complete administrative team. It only requires the emperor to settle here, and it is considered the second court of the Ming Dynasty. Second, Jiangnan is not inferior to the capital in terms of products and culture. It is definitely feasible to occupy the south of the Yangtze River and compete with the capital. As for the third thing, no matter whether Miao Renhu is the real emperor or a fake emperor. Before Zhu Zaijiang could not prove his identity, Miao Renhu was the true emperor in the eyes of the world and the orthodox Ming Dynasty. Only the Nanjing capital was destroyed, and Miao Renhu, the "Ming orthodoxy", was gone. It was impossible to organize a force that could fully compete with Jiangxia in the Ming Dynasty. Because they don't have a very important thing, which is called "great justice". The capital Zhong Bin also sent someone to send a letter to Jiang Xia. The tens of thousands of troops brought by Xiao Qing were all defeated by him and Ma Yunlong in pursuit. In addition, Wang Fengyang, the old lord of the Langya royal family, personally brought Wang Jin, his designated successor to the next generation of lord of the Wang family, into the capital. The letter specifically mentioned that Wang Fengyang beat Wang Jin alive from Xuanyang Gate to the Meridian Gate with wattle sticks, and then ordered Wang Jin to kneel there, saying that he would let Jiang Xia deal with him. After hearing the news, Jiang Xia did not feel that the old head of the Wang family was sincere. Instead, he felt that Wang Fengyang doted on Wang Jin. Clan clans participated in the struggle for political power in the country and failed. As the leader of a sect, the correct thing to do is to kill Wang Jin himself, and then take his head to the capital to plead guilty. When you plead guilty, you should not have too much extravagant expectations, but you should pray that Jiang Xia will leave a root for their Wang family. But now he just whipped Wang Jin in front of everyone. This was undoubtedly Wang Fengyang's way of protecting Wang Jin. At the same time, Wang Fengyang was betting. He was betting that Jiang Xia had not fully controlled the overall situation of the world, so he did not dare to kill the Wang family. As long as he sincerely surrenders, the Wang family is still of great use value to Jiang Xia. However, Wang Fengyang obviously did not understand Jiang Xia's character well. During the battle to defend the capital, both Xue Ruqin and Yang Yiqing were injured. This means that the Wang family and the Xiao family have formed a deadly feud with Jiang Xia. Such a deadly feud cannot be resolved with money or territory. The only way to resolve it is to bleed. Jiang Xia seemed to feel much more relaxed after reading several letters from Zhong Bin. To be honest, before Yu Dayou and Ma Yunlong came back, although he was not afraid of confronting powerful families such as the Xiao family, Wang family, and Yuan family, he was still a little nervous in his heart. Because he can't afford to lose, he is not afraid that he will die if he loses, but he is afraid that if he loses, too many people he cares about will be miserable for the rest of their lives. Now everything is still developing for the better, and he has basically won the overall situation. So the stone weighing on his heart finally fell completely at this moment. "As long as we handle the affairs of the capital carefully, everything will be fine." Jiang Xia whispered to himself, then raised his head and glanced at Yu Dayou, Yuan Hanqiu, Zhang Meng and others, and said, "Get ready. Let's go back to the court soon." Yu Dayou and Zhang Meng looked at each other and smiled. Yu Dayou stood up first and saluted Jiang Xia with clasped fists: "Your Majesty, the navy has been prepared and can set off on time." As soon as Yu Dayou finished speaking, Zhang Meng also stood up immediately and said: "Your Majesty, this time we are bringing the troops from the capital. The people who came out are also fully prepared and can set off at any time." When Jiang Xia heard this, he suddenly laughed. These two guys probably wanted to return to the capital for a long time, so they ordered people to prepare various matters for the departure every day. He shook his head, turned to look at Yuan Hanqiu and said: "How is Hanqiu? Are you ready?" Yuan Hanqiu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, all the soldiers and horses under King Qi have accepted General Zhang's reorganization. Now Hanqiu is alone, You can leave with the emperor at any time." Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave immediately. Han Qiu arranges for someone to be temporarily appointed as the governor of Shanxi to deal with the aftermath of Shanxi. You tell him.Just learn from what Taiyuan Prefecture has done in the past six months. " "yes! "Yuan Hanqiu tried his best to suppress his emotions and agreed, but in the end he couldn't hold back the trembling in his voice. Then his inner excitement was exposed. "Governor of Shanxi, this is a second-rank official in the border area. Jiang Xia directly asked him to arrange the candidates. How could this make Yuan Hanqiu not excited? After all, this represented Jiang Xia's trust in him. At this time when Jiang Xia controls the overall situation and is about to liquidate everything in the past, this kind of trust is exactly what he needs. Jiang Xia couldn't help but smile when he saw Yuan Hanqiu being so excited. He reached out and patted Yuan Hanqiu on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, pick someone for me." " "yes! "Yuan Hanqiu responded again, and immediately began to think about who should sit in the position of Governor of Shanxi. Among the Yuan family, who is the most suitable to sit in this position? "Hmm. No, I can't find one. People from the Yuan family. Otherwise, it would be self-serving. This is the first time Jiang Xia has given him such an important task and he is nepotistic. How can he win his trust in the future? If he doesn¡¯t choose someone from the Yuan family, then he has thought a lot about who he should choose. Personally, Yuan Hanqiu discovered that this was not a good job. On the contrary, it was not a simple matter. The governor of Shanxi had a high status, and he could not choose someone who was too close to him. We have to choose someone who can really deal with the situation in Shanxi. Moreover, Jiang Xia also said that the standard for dealing with the situation in Shanxi should be based on Taiyuan Prefecture. It can be said that the residents have their own houses, the farmers have their fields, and there is peace. The appearance of the prosperous times. If Taiyuan Prefecture did not have a strict household registration system, I am afraid that Taiyuan Prefecture would have been overcrowded. In Yuan Hanqiu's memory, he has never met anyone other than Jiang Xia. After leaving all the aftermath matters to Yuan Hanqiu, Jiang Xia set off directly for the capital. Shanxi and the capital were not far apart. On the day of departure, Zhang Meng sent a letter to the capital via a flying pigeon to inform the capital. When sending Fei Ge's letter to those around him, Jiang Xia specifically told Yu Dayou not to be too public. After all, the situation has changed and he cannot let his image as emperor get too popular, so from now on. Since then, Jiang Xia decided to keep a low profile. Yu Dayou naturally did not dare to disobey Jiang Xia's instructions. He wrote in Fei Ge's biography: "The emperor does not want to make public. Although he wears brocade clothes, he hopes to travel at night. " This letter from Brother Fei reached the capital and immediately caused quite a commotion. Especially the sentence, "Although I am wearing brocade clothes, I hope to travel at night. " I believe in the allusion of "Journey in Brocade at Night", needless to say. After Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, captured Xianyang, some people advised him to make Xianyang his capital, but he missed his hometown and was eager to return eastward. Xiang Yu said at that time: "If you don't return to your hometown if you are rich and noble, Traveling at night in fine clothes, who knows! ". Xiang Yu's words undoubtedly told everyone that he wanted everyone in the world to know that he, Xiang Yu, was about to become the master of the world. Yu Dayou borrowed ancient metaphors and told everyone in the capital in one sentence that Jiang Xia had no intention of proclaiming himself emperor. Cuizhuyuan in Xiaoyao Villa in the capital is where Qian Juexing and others live. Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren, Zhong Bin, Hai Dayou, Bu Jinyun, Qian Juexing basically follow. All the core figures of Jiang Xia who had stayed in the capital for many years were now here. No one spoke, and no one even made eye contact. In the end, everyone looked at Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren. One of them is Jiang Xia's father-in-law, and the other is a contemporary scholar. They are both highly respected and insightful people. Therefore, although everyone here is thinking about the same thing, it is up to them to speak specifically. . Yang Yiqing was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Shouren pulled his sleeve and said first, "I believe we are here today. What do you mean? It's very clear in my heart. If you don't have any objections, how about I tell you my own opinion first, so as to attract others? " "Of course this is the best. Mr. Yangming is a great contemporary scholar. Your opinions will definitely provide guidance for us. "Huang Feiyue said, and everyone nodded again and again. Wang Shouren took a breath and exhaled. After organizing his words in his mind, he said with a cautious face: "My Lord Jiang Xia is a rare wise king throughout the ages, a dragon and a phoenix among people. He loves the people like a son and is good at political power. He is also good at managing people's livelihood and knows the country well. If he were the master of the world, he would be a blessing to the world. However, our Lord is a man of trust and justice. When he proclaimed himself emperor, everyone knew that it was an expedient measure. Now that the situation in the world has been controlled by my lord, it is best for my lord to rule over the world. But our Lord is weighed down by his faith and wants to return??. Yang Ming thought that we should imitate the good ministers of the founding monarch of the Song Dynasty and help our lord wear yellow robes to rule the world. "
