Crown? New King?

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Cunren were both stunned. The two of them had a look of their eyes, but they couldn't say it for a while. Could it be that Li Mingxun was going to be king? Otherwise, who else?

Just as the two of them were stunned, the door of the study suddenly opened, and Zhang Cunren's housekeeper hurried in and said, "Master, go back quickly. Someone from the palace is here, and I'll order you to go to the military forum."

When he heard that it was the emperor summoned him, Zhang Cunren immediately cleverly asked, "How did you go?"

"I can only say that you went out of the city to inspect defense, which delayed a little time." said the butler.

Zhang Cunren nodded: "Okay, go down and have someone stop the sedan chair at the door. Master, I'll go down in a while."

The housekeeper left, and there was no one around. Zhang Cunren asked: "Mr. Muzhai, the emperor summoned him. It must be this crowning matter. Please teach me."

Zhang Cunren had no idea in his mind, so he could only ask Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi had just seen it and had not considered it carefully. He calmed down and thought about it, and finally said, "Mr. Zhang, I think that this crowning matter must have nothing to do with the Li thief in the East Fan. There may be two. One is to establish the Zhu Ming royal family, and the other is the so-called Beiyang War Zone in the East Fan!

I have been thinking about it all the more, but the latter is the best.”

As he said that, Qian Qianyi clicked the opened cigarette box, but saw that the signature behind the four lines of small characters was the Beiyang War Zone Political Propaganda Department. Zhang Cunren nodded, put away the cigarette box, and said, "It's better not Li Mingxun!"

Who knew that Qian Qianyi also said this, and the two spoke in unison and smiled at each other.

The palace in Shunzhi was in Qingzhou Prefecture. When Zhang Cunren changed his official robe and arrived, several ministers of state had gathered in it, headed by Obai and Sukshaha. The place where he summoned was not in the palace but in the emperor's bedroom. The air was filled with the bitter taste of medicine soup and a faint smell of blood.

Zhang Cunren knew very well that his master's body had been missing since Concubine Dong E died. In the winter, he went south in the wilderness for two months before he entered Qingzhou City. He was immediately hit by more than a dozen heads brought back by Su Keshaha. The hope for the peace talks was shattered. Then, the camp opposite began to "talk" and the filthy words and filthy words had never stopped. Every sentence was aimed at the secrets of the Qing Palace, and directly insulted the emperor's parents and beloved women. The emperor was humiliated one after another, and the generals under his command repeatedly asked for battle. Shunzhi didn't want to touch the strong camp opposite, and could only be kept in his heart. But above the emperor, he had never suffered such grievances and vomited blood several times. Today, the opposite side was Qi Hu Dorgon's affair with the empress dowager's uncle and sister-in-law. Zhang Cunren thought to himself that the emperor must have vomited blood.

The emperor lay on the bed, his face was bloodless. The slave and the minister beside the bed knelt on the ground. He roared: "...Where are your eyes and ears? The Li thief in the East Fan have been openly crowned, but there is no news. I raise you, the group of dog slaves, for the sake of a living?"

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!" Obai and others said on their knees.

The eunuch reported at this time: "Long live the emperor, Lord Zhang Cunren is here."

"Let that dog slave come in!" Shunzhi rebuked.

Although Zhang Cunren is a Han Chinese, he is from the Han military flag. After entering, he knelt on the ground and said, "I am late for the servant to come. Please forgive me."

Seeing his head sweating, Shunzhi said, "I heard that you went to the Daying site to check it. Is it true or false?"

On the way Zhang Cunren had already inquired about the reason for the emperor's summons, which was the so-called crowning matter. He hurriedly said, "That was just an excuse to cover up people's ears. The slave was at home and heard from his personal soldiers that there were great rebellious words in the cigarette box that the Eastern thief threw today. He took it to see it, for fear of disturbing the sages, so he pretended to inspect and went to the camp to observe the situation. There was already a report here, and the emperor gave a report."

"Oh?" Shunzhi felt a little happy. At least Zhang Cunren is much more useful than the dog slaves kneeling down.

"Say!" Shunzhi said.

Zhang Cunren said: "When I go back to the emperor, I think that the so-called crowning is definitely not the crowning of Li Zhe."

"Is there any evidence?" Shunzhi asked again.

Zhang Cunren said: "The evidence still needs to be checked in detail, but... but the slave observed at the forefront and there was nothing unusual about the island barbarians on the other side, especially the ground platform, as usual."

The earth platform that Zhang Cunren mentioned was located deep in the frontier camp of the Army, in the center, only a thousand meters away from the frontier. It was set up at the beginning of the propaganda war. At first, only rammed earth piles were seen. The Qing army thought that the opposite was building a fort, so they fired several shots, but the construction was constantly day and night, but no artillery was pulled over. Moreover, the distance was too far, even if the fort was high, it could not hit the depth of the Qingzhou camp. More than ten days ago, there was a wooden frame on the ground side of the earth platform, and the earth platform was surrounded by cloth. Only various types of wood and stones were seen constantly, but they didn't know what to do. Today, it seemed that it was for crowning.

"The earthen platform is surrounded, how do you know it is as usual?" Obai asked.

Zhang Cunren said: "What is on the earth platform? I don't know, but the emperor, please think about how important the crowning is, and how many ceremonial guards are needed, musical instruments, and ritual officials are needed. If you are not ready to unfold today, how will you act tomorrow?

Furthermore, the debauchery on this cigarette box is signed by the Political Propaganda Department of the Beiyang War Zone. If Li thief had violated the situation, the so-called Political Propaganda Department would not have been allowed to carry on the crowning of such a major event."

Everyone thought about it carefully and this is indeed the truth. Even if Li Mingxun wants to be crowned, what does the new king mean, and why is it a king rather than an emperor? Furthermore, the meaning of the slogan is very clear. It needs to be crowned on the Tutai, but that is within the range of the Qing Dynasty's heavy artillery. If a large army rushes and attacks hard, it will not be able to overcome it. No matter how stupid Li Mingxun is, he will not risk his life.

In the bedroom, the ministers analyzed the matter with one word and another, and then understood Shunzhi's face looked better. Shunzhi asked, "Zhang Qing, what do you think the East Fan can do?"

"I don't know either, but the earth platform is located at the forefront, wherever the shells reach, if the Eastern Front is in trouble, a burst of artillery fire will disappear!" Zhang Cunren said.

Shunzhi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let me continue to set up a viewing platform on the east city gate of Qingzhou. I want to see what a demon is going to be in the east!"

The second day.

At noon, Shunzhi climbed onto the viewing platform. The camp was ready. At least thirty cannons aimed at the earth platform. Around the cannon, Obai selected 20,000 elite troops from the Eight Banners, the outer vassal Mongolia and the Green Camp new army. At this moment, it was at the forefront, and there were 40,000 main forces as successors. In the eyes of the Qing army, it would be fine if the earth platform was a demon in the east. If someone was really crowned, no matter who it was, it would have to flow into blood today.

The dispatch of troops and generals in one night also made the Qing army's New Year's Eve dinner a luxury, but what they didn't know was that the opponents opposite them were also in combat readiness, but unlike the temporary deployment of the Qing army, the top leaders of the army had long known that the crowning ceremony they planned would have been a fierce battle. On the night of the New Year, the troops who had eaten the New Year's Eve dinner began to be dispatched. The Eighth Guard Division and the two Mixed Guard Brigades of the Guards who had just arrived last month reached the forefront after the New Year's Eve dinner, replaced the two B-class divisions of the First Army of the Beiyang War Zone. However, the most elite A-class division in the Beiyang War Zone was still at the forefront, and the temporarily strengthened artillery also entered the position, waiting for the battle today.

The frontier of the camp is the commander of the martial arts army, Gao Feng is in the rear, Li Mingxun and the base camp's observation group, the interview group are all on the northern wall of Linqu. Li Mingxun smiled at the officers around him, and the reporter said: "Last night's combat preparations were banned, so I spared everyone's interest in watching fireworks performances. I will make up for it for you today."

"Father, it's better to watch fireworks at night." Li Mingxun's youngest son Li Junwei said in a silence.

Lee Mingxun laughed: "This is not an ordinary firework."

As he said that, he stood up and said to the reporters beside him: "Don't you want to know what the scene of the beheadings of tens of thousands of beheadings and mountains in the army's war report is like? You can see them today. I dare not say anything else. Today I can give each of you a sword of the Qing general as a souvenir!"

The earth platform, with the arrival of noon, the earth platform has begun to become busy. Hundreds of craftsmen are busy and remove the silly cloth circumference on the earth platform, revealing two erected things. On the south is an A-shaped crane used by a naval shipyard. This crane is specially used for masts and can be lifted up to twenty-five meters high. However, this crane has now changed its appearance. Its main frame is hung with dyed canvas, and a cover made of thin wooden boards is also covered on the top. In fact, it is the pattern and logo on the canvas, which are exactly the same as those used by the Qing emperors. On the chest of this man, there is a piece of red silk that seems to cover a few words.

This wooden man is extremely tall and can be seen clearly at the head of Qingzhou City. He looks very different from the clothes he wears, but from Qingzhou, he can recognize that this is the yellow robe of the Qing Dynasty at a glance.

"Understanding, rebellion!" Oboi stood at the top of the city, roared in anger, knelt in front of Shunzhi, and asked for battle and said, "It has been proved that it is not Li's thief to be crowned, but in the case of the Eastern Band, it must have committed an act of offense. The slave asked for an order and led his army to fight, and wiped out the thief's nest in one fell swoop!"

Shunzhi didn't know that the other side had been holding the bad water that had been holding for more than a month. Just as he was about to order, he found that the other cloth circumference on the stage had also been removed. It was a sculpture, stone and wood structure, made of color, and it was kneeling. Looking closely at the color of the clothes he was wearing, it was in the style of the Prince of the Qing Dynasty. However, the sculpture was extremely fat, but there was no crown on his head, and one hand pointed to Qingzhou, and there was a red silk on his chest, covering something.

"Master, please give the order!" Seeing that Wu Shi three was coming, Obai was afraid that the other side would really do something that embarrass the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, so he quickly persuaded him.

Shunzhi shook his head slightly. The sculpture was solid and the wooden man was narrow. No matter how you look at it, it would not be able to shoot down with a volley. Even if you attack at this time, it would be difficult to end the opponent.

While hesitating, the sound of a trumpet came from the camp of the United States. It was the agreed "auspicious time". Two people reached out and pulled the rope, and the red silk on both sides fell. At the head of Qingzhou City, the general was shocked because the kneeling sculpture was written with Huang Taiji, and the standing wooden man actually wrote with Dorgon.

Shunzhi turned pale and said angrily: "Arrogant, shameless!"

Oboi hurriedly supported Shunzhi, and Shunzhi cursed: "Kill them, kill them all!"

Zhang Cunren knelt on the ground and climbed in front of Shunzhi: "Your Majesty, this is a thief who is provoking him, don't fall into a trap."

"Yes, the thief acted so rebelliously to anger our emperor. Perhaps there had been ambushing in the camp here, just waiting for our Qing troops to attack. If we were trapped, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Several people persuaded him.

After hearing this, Shunzhi recovered a little more Qingming. He found that the earthen platform opposite had not yet given up. There was a box covered with cloth under Dorgon, and the boom was officially arm-shaped. It seemed that "Dorgon" picked up something from the ground. Although the thing was still covered, Shunzhi already understood that it must be a crown. This was the Dongfan Islander used this giant puppet trick to ask Dorgon to crown Huang Taiji!

Seeing this, Shunzhi was even more sure that this was Dongfan's provocation method. His chest was up and down, and he secretly warned himself that he should not be fooled. At this time, the "Crown" had been placed on the head of "Huang Taiji" by the boom, and the black cloth was lifted up. Shunzhi captured the crown in his eyes. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood surged out and vomited Oboi.

This crown is exquisitely made than anything, and the details are also withstand exquisite. The style is obviously the grade used by the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, but... but the color is indeed wrong. The crown was painted from top to bottom into a green color. Isn't this saying...

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers were heard from the camp of the United States: The Tartar Chief Huang Taiji was awarded the title of King of Cuckold!

Shunzhi fainted and did not hear this, but the puppet show in front of him had already made him understand everything. Shunzhi's body was lying in the chair, Obai's face was covered in blood, and he wiped it, making it even more ferocious and terrifying. He cursed to the people around him: "The king was humiliated and the ministers died! Now that the Dongfan Island Barbarians insulted my emperor so much, we will die, and we will avenge such an irreconcilable revenge!"

After saying that, Obai and Sukshaha got off the city wall and rode their horses toward the front. When the imperial throne was waving the flag before the imperial throne, the Qing army's front artillery towers had opened fire together.

Dozens of heavy artillery shells roared and fired seven or eight rounds in succession to be forced to cease fire and dissipate heat. As soon as the fire was opened on the earth platform, the craftsman rolled and crawled to the earth platform. After the shelling was completed, the guard soldiers holding the flintlock rifle at the front saw that the "Huang Taiji" and "Dorgon" on the earth platform were both shot. The "Dorgon" had a small target and only one shot, but it miraculously hit the head. The fake head made of wood disappeared, while the "Huang Taiji" hit seven or eight shots in a row. Obviously, the Qing army artillery had already aimed here.

"Thank God, the cuckold is still there!" A soldier expressed everyone's thoughts. Yes, as long as the green hat is still there, there will be some more watching this drama.

Obai arrived at the forefront and looked up and saw that the puppets were still there on the earthen platform. When he dismounted, he cut three or four foreign gunners in a row and ordered him to open fire immediately to destroy the earthen platform.

At this time, the hiding craftsmen had already come out. They did not repair it, but pulled two lines that had been prepared. They saw a vertical banner falling from the hand pointing to Qingzhou and the boom of "Dorgon" that was standing on the arm of the boom.

‘Huang Taiji’: How dare you bombard your father with a rebellious son!

‘Dorgon’: How can a villain attack the wild father?

A banner was erected between the two: Destroy oneself!

The font size of the Eight Immortals Table appeared between the two armies, and the bright red font was widely advertised. This was a Spring Festival couplet, but it was also a signal of war!
