Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army attacked and destroyed the Daxia Kingdom established by Ming Yuzhen, and set up the Sichuan Chengxuan Administration in Chengdu, with Chengdu as the capital. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang named his eleventh son Zhu Chun the king of Shu.  More than two hundred years have passed, and Chengdu seems to have remained unchanged. It is still the land of abundance just like it was during the Three Kingdoms period.  However, Chengdu at this time was different from usual. The gates of Chengdu were tightly closed, and many people appeared outside the city but watched from a distance.  There are many figures standing on the top of the city. If you look closely, they are all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.  A man stood on the top of the city, looking at the people below with their brows furrowed. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood right now.  This man was wearing a light yellow python robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hands behind his back.  Behind this man, stood a group of guards. Compared to the soldiers on the city, these guards were much more elite.  "Your Majesty, the rebels are coming. Your Majesty, you should go back to the palace! Just leave this place to the officials and others." A civil servant standing not far away saluted the man and said respectfully.  The man who is called the prince is the king of Shu of this generation. He is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's eleventh son, named Zhu Zhishu.  Hearing the man talking to him, King Shu looked back and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, the news from outside the city has arrived. I know what is going on in Chengdu now. Does Master Zhu think that I can feel at ease?"  Staying in the palace? " Mr. Zhu suddenly had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Zhu Xieyuan, as the chief envoy of Sichuan, naturally couldn't have known what was going on outside Chengdu.  But there are some things that I know in my heart, but I really can¡¯t say them out.  The counties and counties of Lu and Xu around Chengdu collapsed, and the passes of Chumu and Longquan were lost. He commanded Ran Shihong and others to lead their troops to resist the battle, and the entire army was wiped out.  Zhu Xieyuan wanted to stabilize the morale of the military and the people.  Naturally, such a boy cannot be spread.  After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as the chief envoy of Sichuan, it is your duty to defend the city. Your Majesty is a nobleman of Tianhuang. If something goes wrong, I really can't afford it!"  " Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan, the King of Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and his heart was full of helplessness.  The meaning of Zhu Xieyuan's words is obvious. Since it is the duty to defend the territory, it is natural to coexist and die with the city of Chengdu.  As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xieyuan was different from others.  It can be said that the line of Shu kings is different from other princes.  Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the kings of Shu were given generous rewards, and later emperors also gave generous rewards in order to win over the kings of Shu.  This reward is not just a verbal reward, but has substantial content, which is land.  After more than two hundred years of rewards.  Of course, some of them have also been misappropriated by themselves. Two-thirds of the entire fertile land in the Kingdom of Abundance belongs to the Shu Palace.  Of the remaining one-third, half is also related to the Shu Palace.  If we say who is the biggest landowner in the world at this time, then the King of Shu definitely deserves the title.  With so much land, it goes without saying that the king of Shu is rich, so the whole line of kings of Shu is very clean and self-sufficient.  The king of Shu not only observes etiquette for guests and himself.  At the same time, it is also very good to the people. During the years of disaster, rents are reduced and grain is provided, and the local prestige is very high.  It can be said that this is a model for the princes of the Ming Dynasty, but I don¡¯t know what Emperor Tianqi will feel when he knows that the entire Kingdom of Abundance is almost the land of the King of Shu. I wonder what the emperor, whose hair has turned gray because of money, will feel like.  Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan, watched the King of Shu's thoughts changing. He had been in Sichuan for a long time, and he respected the King of Shu very much.  This prince did not bully men and dominate women, and was very strict in disciplining the palace's servants. Zhu Xieyuan felt that this was the prince of the Ming Dynasty.  So what Zhu Xieyuan said to the King of Shu.  I don¡¯t even try to flatter you, most of it comes from my heart.  Nodding slowly, King Shu said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan. If this is lost, then the whole of Sichuan will be lost. By then, you will not be able to trust the current emperor, and I will be sorry.  Ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Lord Zhu, please come here. Lord Zhu can tell me whatever you need." "My lord, don't worry. Although there are only two thousand troops in Chengdu, there are countless more.  Son of the Han family. The barbarians outside the city are just wishful thinking. I am deeply favored by you, so I should do my best." Zhu Xieyuan's voice was firm, and his eyes were full of determination. It was obvious that Mr. Zhu was ready.  .  Looking at Zhu Xieyuan with admiration, the King of Shu said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, the walls of Chengdu are very tall and it is very difficult to attack. They are just besieging them. But Master Zhu, don't be afraid. If there is not enough food in the city, Master Zhu can come  Come to the Prince of Shu's Mansion." As soon as the Prince of Shu said this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew in their hearts that there were only two thousand defenders in Chengdu and there were one hundred thousand troops outside.  If there is no food supply in Chengdu, those foreign barbarians from She Chongming will never be able to invade in their lifetime.  As for food in Chengdu,The problem is, maybe the government and the people don't have much food reserves, but the Shu Palace has more.  No one knows how much food the Prince of Shu¡¯s Mansion has, but everyone knows that even if the food in the Prince of Shu¡¯s Mansion is given to the whole city, it may not be enough to eat in a year or two.  They also believed that as long as the court got the news, reinforcements would arrive soon.  After giving a respectful salute to the King of Shu, Zhu Xieyuan said with a grateful face: "Xiaguan and the people in the city thank the King of Shu!" He waved his hands gently, and the King of Shu smiled and said: "These people are from the Ming Dynasty.  The common people of Shu have received Guo En for generations. This is nothing." He looked back at the armored guard captain and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wu, there are five hundred guards left in the palace, and the rest.  Bring them all here. Remember not to be arrogant, and you must all obey Lord Zhu¡¯s orders!¡± There are 5,000 guards in the entire Shu palace, of course, not counting the slave guards and so on. Now the king of Shu has lost all the guards in his palace!  When he came out, everyone present looked in reverence.  Under the leadership of Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan, everyone bowed respectfully to the King of Shu and said loudly: "Your Majesty understands the righteousness and may you live a thousand years!" The King of Shu looked at all the adults and smiled.  He helped Zhu Xieyuan up and said in a rather polite manner: "My lords, that's all I can do. The rest depends on you. I hope you will not betray the emperor's trust and don't let me."  The King is disappointed!¡± The King of Shu left, but the officials and soldiers present all left a King of Shu in their hearts. Obviously, such a prince was the prince of the Ming Dynasty.  The King of Shu who left the city was no longer as calm as before, his face was full of sadness, and he sighed softly as he walked.  These things are done as a last resort. All these civil servants are working here alone.  If he dies in battle, not only will the court not hold him accountable, but I'm afraid he will also be generously rewarded.  But the King of Shu is different. This is his root, and the entire King of Shu lineage is here.  Once Chengdu is captured, the lineage of the King of Shu will definitely disappear from this world.  Looking back at the top of the city, King Shu's eyes were full of worry, and he said in a very low voice: "I hope what I just said is effective, but you must hold on! Chengdu cannot be breached, and Sichuan cannot be lost!  " Of course no one knows what the King of Shu thinks. Even if they know, no one will be stupid enough to say it. Such things must be rotten in the stomach.  The King of Shu left on the top of the city. The biggest one was Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan. After scanning a circle of people, Zhu Xieyuan said in a serious voice: "Everyone, now is the time of life and death. I believe that none of you want to die.  , so I hope that everyone can work together and not let down the emperor¡¯s trust and the King of Shu¡¯s instructions.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir, I will follow your instructions!¡± Naturally, no one will come out to cause trouble at this time, and everyone will bow down.  Said loudly.  Nodding slowly, Zhu Xieyuan said loudly: "I am here to assign a task to Chengdu Prefecture!" The prefect of Chengdu Prefecture on the side was slightly stunned. He did not expect that he would be the first one to be called, and he hurriedly walked out.  , said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan is here!" "Chengdu Prefecture, I will hand over all the servants and assistants of the Chief Envoy Yamen and the Punishment Division Yamen to you, plus the servants and assistants of Chengdu Prefecture. You take them to maintain  To maintain public security in the city, anyone who stirs up troubles will be shot without mercy! Also, pay attention to the barbarians in the city. If they want to make any move, they will all be shot without mercy!" Zhu Xieyuan's eyes flashed coldly, he couldn't care less at this time.  "Yes, sir! I'll do it right now!" Chengdu Mansion agreed happily. He now felt that if he did anything wrong, Zhu Xieyuan might have him executed on the spot.  He glanced around at the people on the top of the city and said loudly: "When you go back, organize your people. Once the war starts, all the military supplies and food will be handed over to you." People related to their responsibilities stood up and all clapped their hands.  They all knew in their hearts that if they didn't try their best at this time, people like them would be dead.  "I will divide the soldiers in the city into separate groups, and you and I will divide the soldiers in the city into separate gates. Each person will be stationed at a city gate. I will tell you that unless you ask someone to carry them down,  Otherwise, no one will be allowed to come down." Zhu Xieyuan's expression became ferocious. He was determined to live and die with Chengdu.  When his name was called, he hurriedly walked out and patted his chest to assure Zhu Xieyuan. However, Zhang Wu, the general of the royal guard on the side, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, leave the remaining gate to me!"  Zhu Xieyuan originally did not want the palace guards to defend the city, but seeing Zhang Wu's serious expression, he nodded slowly.  The layout of the city in Chengdu is almost complete, and there are more and more people outside the city. It doesn¡¯t take long for it to be completed.It¡¯s a huge crowd!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
