First issue a crusade edict.
What's the use of thunder but no rain
Qin Mu knew that Sima An would not fart randomly, so he must have some other motive for doing so. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason.
There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": Brothers are jealous of each other, and they stay outside the wall to protect themselves from their insults. For the Qin Dynasty and Zhu Ming Dynasty, both Han regimes, invading the Jurchens with foreign races and forcing them to shave their heads and change their clothes was a foreign aggression.
In the face of foreign aggression, brothers should temporarily put aside their differences and fight against it together.
Until now, Great Qin had not taken the initiative to attack Zhu Youlang, who was still alive, and even allowed merchants to exchange their needs. Now the Qin Dynasty launched its Northern Expedition to expel foreign enemies, but Zhu Youlang took advantage of it from behind. Standing on the basis of national justice, he was at fault.
Now that the Qin Dynasty is busy with the Northern Expedition, it is not suitable to send a large number of troops to the south, but it cannot just swallow its anger. It must first prove Zhu Youlang's "unjust" charge and seize the moral high ground.
This point is very important. Unlike dealing with the Manchu Qing, between the Qin Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty undoubtedly occupied all the moral rights. It only needed to use its energy on military affairs to expel the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After all, the relationship between Da Qin and Zhu Ming was that of a minister and a king in the past, which was not morally reasonable. Although Da Qin's unification of the world was the general trend, sending troops to attack Zhu Ming in the future would inevitably be criticized by future generations.
Don't think that this kind of "criticism" is insignificant. In this era, it is important to pay attention to the ethics of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, and everything must be justified.
If you are in an unfair position and are criticized by others, some people will use this to attack you in the future, or even use it as a reason to incite rebellion.
That's why. At the beginning of the establishment of each dynasty, they all tried their best to slander the previous dynasty to highlight that it was righteous and justified to win the world.
Sima An's suggestion to issue an imperial edict for the crusade first was also based on the idea of seizing the righteousness first. Now that the Northern Expedition is not over yet, Zhu Youlang comes to take advantage of the situation. With the premise of "together to resist foreign aggression", the people will feel that it is Zhu Youlang who is at fault. Then he sympathized with Da Qin.
Once things change, the most direct foreign threat in the future will be gone. Da Qin attacked Zhu Ming again. That's pure infighting. Zhu Ming was once the leader of the world. At that time, the people would feel that it was the Qin Dynasty that was "offending the superiors below and attacking the emperor with ministers", and they might turn to sympathize with Zhu Youlang. This is very detrimental to Da Qin.
Follow Sima An's suggestion. First issue a crusade edict. Let the people all over the world know that it was Zhu Youlang who acted unrighteously first, and it will be justifiable to send troops to attack him in the future.
Qin Mu accepted this suggestion. Yang Shen was immediately put in charge of drafting a crusade edict. Strongly condemn Zhu Youlang for his selfish behavior, regardless of the survival of the nation, the life and death of the people in the world, regardless of the disgrace of China's clothes, taking advantage of the situation, holding a knife behind his back, and threatening to abandon the Northern Expedition halfway.
In short, all possible charges were imputed to Zhu Youlang and Qu Shiqi. The edict was drafted, Qin Mu stamped it, and it was officially promulgated to the world.
This means that before the soldiers and horses are moved, righteousness goes first.

In Yanjing in the north, the rebellion of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui seemed to be easily extinguished, but the chain reaction caused by Xiong Wenju's fart was far beyond everyone's imagination. It was definitely not the rebellion of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui. So simple.
Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, various measures have long made the Han people dare to be angry but dare not speak out;
First, they forced the Han people to shave their heads and change their clothes, so that the Han people were mentally humiliated;
Then the Han people were driven out of the inner city, turning many gentry families into bereavement dogs.
Then came a land enclosure order, which caused the people near the capital to lose the land they relied on for survival and became slaves.
This time after another, the resentment of the Han people has reached the critical point. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always been strong and dominated the world, then everyone can only still swallow their anger;
But this is obviously not the case now. The Qing army was defeated and in a state of disarray, with only the air coming in and no air coming out.
In the past, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, and Gong Dingzi were not the only ones who deliberately hedged their bets and sent their families out of Yanjing. This phenomenon was common among Han officials, and everyone wanted to leave a way out for their family.
Dorgon's investigation has driven many people to a dead end, forcing them to take desperate measures.
The Han army mounted a yellow flag and entered Zhangjing. Li Yuanqing launched a rebellion after his ancestors Dashou and Wu Sangui. He did not have the courage like Wu Sangui to attack the regent's palace, but he unexpectedly rushed out of the capital with more than a hundred Han army flag soldiers;
In response, Wu Xian of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army joined forces with three hundred troops and rushed into the Yuquan Mountain area in the west of the city. Dole sent troops to clear it out, but there was nothing he could do for a while.
It can be said that although Zu Dashou's rebellion failed due to hasty preparation, the rebellion was like a spark thrown into a haystack, instantly starting a prairie fire.
The people outside the city were fed up with their status as "clothed slaves" and saw that the Manchus were already dying, so they responded one after another. The rebellion intensified throughout the capital, with as few as three to five families and as many as three to two hundred people rebelling. Kill the Manchus who enslaved themselves.
When the civil unrest around Yanjing was in full swing, a bold man, with a team of water bandits, suddenly attacked Tianjin Wei.
Tianjin Wei, during the Jingnan Campaign in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di led his troops from Zhigu to attack Cangzhou. After four years of war, he finally captured Nanjing and seized the throne.
In order to commemorate the "Longxing Land" where he began to send troops, Zhu Di named "Zhigu", which was once "the place where the emperor crossed the river", the name Tianjin. "Tian" means emperor, and "jin" means ferry.
Tianjin Wei also began to build the city. However, at this time, Tianjin City was actually just an earthen city with a circumference of more than 9 miles. The city was 3 feet 5 feet high and 2 feet 5 feet wide. The shape of the city was long from east to west and short from north to south. It was very It looks like an abacus, so people at that time also called it "Abacus City".
Liu Zhong, nicknamed Hun Jiang Long, was making a sound in Qin's abacus. At this moment, he killed Tianjin Wei.
His original mission was to escort Ningyuan's army to North Korea. This mission had already been completed. According to the original plan, he was to lead his troops back to Jiangnan;
But Hunjianglong was Hunjianglong, and he was really unwilling to go back like this. So, after North Korea had enough supplies, he led his troops and went straight to Tianjin Guard.
"General, I'm so happy! It's chaos, it's chaos..." You Laogu, who came ashore in a small boat to inquire about the news, seemed to have picked up a treasure and shouted excitedly from a distance.
Liu Zhongqin held on to the side of the ship and howled, "Say, what's wrong?"
"General, the people around Yanjing are revolting one after another. Jiannu is focusing on one thing and not the other. It's all chaos, it's all chaos. General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Really?" Liu Zhongqin tugged at the short beard on his chin, wishing he could jump into the sea and swim over to pick up You Laogu's collar and ask for details.
"General, as soon as I landed on the shore, I heard the nearby people talking about it. This must be true. General, give the order quickly. Let's rush to Yanjing and kill Dorgon and the Queen Mother Princess. Capture him and give him a gift to the King of Qin, what a great achievement it is..."
You Laogu was full of endless lust, as if he was standing in front of the palace in Jinling. The King of Qin was praising his military exploits in front of the people all over the world, and thousands of people below cheered...
"Hahaha... God help me! I, Liu Zhongqin, did not take my name for nothing. Sons and daughters, do you hear clearly? Set sail and anchor immediately, capture the Tianjin guards first, and then rush into Yanjing City to capture many of them alive. Ergon, capture the little emperor alive, and capture the queen mother and concubine Gege alive to present to the King of Qin. Great achievements are waiting for us, let’s go!”
Hun Jianglong's level of lust was no worse than that of You Laogu. He looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, extremely arrogant.
There are just as many soldiers as there are generals. On ten gunboats and forty warships of various types, a total of 1,300 guys were waving their swords and guns, just like bandits who came down from the mountain to steal money, shouting and shouting, He quickly raised the sail and anchor, and headed for Dagukou.
Bai Shiliang, a senior official in the army, said to Liu Zhongqin: "General Liu, you don't even ask how many enemy troops are defending Tianjin Guards, nor how many troops and horses there are in Beijing City. We will just kill these few people in case we are surrounded." , the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Liu Zhongqin laughed and said: "Old Bai, what you said sounds reasonable, but in fact it is all fart, hahaha..."
"You! Liu Zhongqin, please explain clearly, why did I fart?"
"Old Bai, don't be angry. Being angry will hurt your health. What kind of friendship do we have? When I get the credit, I won't get a share of it from you. I might even be able to give you a pockmark. You're so anxious!"
"Liu Zhongqin, stop talking nonsense. You must explain to me clearly why I farted today."
"Old Bai, you still don't admit it, didn't you hear what You Laogu said? Jiannu can't even deal with some rioters now, and he still wants to surround us? Let him come, and I will bombard his bird with one shot. !”
