The silver from these northern provinces was smuggled to the south by various channels, and could be cast into four to five times the silver dollar. When returning to the north, they received a large amount of coal, pig iron, horses, and cloth. For their own extravagant life, some Qing nobles actually smuggled food to the south in exchange for various scarce industrial products in the south. In this way, under the economic war of Zhu Hongsan, the finances of the northern provinces tended to go bankrupt. Some places had already circulated ancient coins from the Tang and Song dynasties, and some places even began to barter.

Zhu Hongsan got up early and put on the emperor's full robe with the help of the eunuch. The first thing he did today was to go to Xiaoling outside the city to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Hongsan came to the dismount stone at the gate of Xiaoling Mausoleum, and he could not ride a horse here, so he could only walk into Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Zhu Hongsan was wearing a full set of emperor's robes and twelve crowns of emperors. This outfit was more than thirty pounds, not to mention taking these things to walk the twelve-mile mountain road.

Zhu Hongsan cursed Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart as he walked, saying why did he set up the dismounting stone back then? How great is it to come in directly by means of transportation!

However, Zhu Hongsan is now the emperor, and everyone has to serve him, so there are more than 100 people serving him, including those who fan the air, those who carry water, and those who encourage the emperor by the side. In short, it took Zhu Hongsan a long time to complete this mountain road.

After entering Fangcheng, the main building of Xiaoling Mausoleum is the Enjoy Hall, which is the divine plaque that enshrines Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. However, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, Zhu Hongsan also brought in the divine plaque that Concubine Hu Chong, the biological mother of the first king of Chu, and placed it on the right side of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Hongsan gave his ancestor a title, "Xiao Zhao Jing Shu Ming Hui Zheng and An Yu Duan Muqin Shunren", which echoed the posthumous title of Empress Ma's "Xiao Ci Zhen transforms into Zhe Shunrenren, Chengtian Yu Sheng Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi Gao".

Today, the one who wants to declare that he is Zhu Hongsan's new Hanlin scholar, and the Crown Prince Zuo Yude Huang Zongxi wrote "The Declaration of the Hu Guan, Restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and Resistance of Liaodong" was written by Huang Zongxi. This is a national book. There was a fierce debate in the cabinet before Chengwen. Whether the Qing Dynasty was considered an alien regime was the same as the Mongol Yuan. After the debate and searching historical books by court officials, it was proved that Nurhaci was only a personal soldier of Li Chengliang at that time, and Nurhaci's background was unclear, it was very likely that he was Li Chengliang's illegitimate son. Therefore, all court officials concluded that the Qing Dynasty could not be considered an alien regime, but could only be like Li Zicheng's Dashun and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi, which was at best a rebellion.

There are many benefits to doing this. At least the Ming Dynasty has sovereignty over the entire Liaodong and Mongolia in terms of law, because the Mongolian tribes have already surrendered the Qing Dynasty. Another advantage is that they psychologically satisfy the dirty psychology of the scholars and officials. After all, they were the ones who were beaten by the Qing Dynasty a few years ago. Now they are talking about the Qing Dynasty as a rebellion, and they are still acceptable to be defeated by their own people psychologically.

In the manifesto, Zhu Hongsan first started to curse the emperor Zhu Jianshen, and kept scolding the king of the devastated country, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youxiao, who was the king of the devastated country. There was no way to curse him like this. How could Zhu Hongsan get up to power if the emperor of the previous dynasty did not do well? This is a political attitude!

The middle section of the manifesto said that Zhu Yuanzhang was lucky. He gave birth to a good son, the sixth prince of the emperor, Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen was also lucky. There was a descendant named Zhu Hongsan. Seeing that the world was so harmed by the King of Yan, he couldn't bear to have his ancestors' destruction, so he raised an army in Fengtian, Guangzhou and seized Nanjing.

The last paragraph of the manifesto is the general policy of fighting against the Qing Dynasty. You, Nurhaci, was just a small follower of Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. You should be grateful to Tianrong for inspiring his conscience to be cannon fodder for me. Instead, you were ungrateful and took advantage of the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of the situation. This is really unforgivable. Now I am Zhu Hongsan is the emperor, and I am not the bastard emperor of the King of Yan before, so now I am in Nanjing and I want to fight to your hometown.

At the same time, all Han officials in the world are warned that as long as they still hold official positions in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty king's army arrives, they can be retained as long as the city is opened to surrender and do not resist. If they are afraid of revenge on the Qing Dynasty, they can also abandon their official positions and run away. All the previous crimes will be punished. But if you want to follow the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming Dynasty king's army, you will be embarrassed. If you catch you, you will be confiscated and destroy the nine clans!

It was already noon after reading the manifesto, and Zhu Hongsan memorized the manifesto in advance. You should know that the great scholar Huang Zongxi wrote it in classical Chinese. In fact, Zhu Hongsan's quality is not bad, but the literati of this era had a problem. They all liked to use rare characters, which made them look talented. This made Zhu Hongsan feel a little bit illiterate. There was no way to explain the words that they did not recognize in the manifesto in the palace in the pinyin, and then memorize them. This was why he did not lose the chain at this critical moment.

After Zhu Hongsan finished reading the book, he brought all the ministers back to the palace, and he was about to vow to the Northern Expedition.

As the main force, the Eastern Route Army had a total of seven musketeers, 110,000 troops, and three cavalry divisions, 50,000 troops. Adding to the logistics force of 50,000, a total of 210,000 troops. However, these people could not all go to the battle together in Nanjing. Four divisions had already been to Yangzhou half a month ago, and all the cavalry went to Yangzhou half a year ago, so staying in Nanjing was only two divisions led by the Imperial Guard Division and Qian Yong, with a total of 45,000 troops.

The 45,000 people lined up in an orderly line on the playground outside Zhengyang Gate, standing from morning until noon, motionless, which moved some of the local guards in Nanjing around them. Unexpectedly, these Huguang men could endure hardships. After three hours, they stood in the sun for a whole morning without drinking a sip of water.

When the Wei Dynasty arrived, the middle gate of Zhengyang Gate was wide open. Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan wore a bright yellow military uniform and walked out of Zhengyang Gate under the protection of the Five Thousand Jinyiwei.

These 45,000 new Ming army soldiers, who were like wood carvings, shouted in a voice when they saw the emperor coming: "Welcome Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" The new army soldiers shouted three times in a row, which really shocked the sky.

Zhu Hongsan smiled all over his face. These were all soldiers he brought out with himself. He brought several adult princes to the platform he had built and said to the soldiers: "I am the emperor Zhu Hongsan, the gangster Zhu Hongsan who was in Wuchang back then. Now that I am the emperor, I want to take you to the north to fight the Qing Tartars. Are you willing?"

"I wish to die for His Majesty the Emperor! I wish to die for His Majesty the Emperor! I wish to die for His Majesty the Emperor!"
