On the first day of March in the seventeenth year of the Kaden reign, less than two months after the death of Empress Niohuru, Wu Sangui proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou (now Hengyang City, Hunan Province), established his capital in Hengyang, named his country Da Zhou, changed the era name to Zhaowu, and conferred titles on hundreds of officials and generals.
When Kaden learned about this, he was furious and decided to send the Eight Banners Army to attack Wu Sangui and suppress the rebellion.
The emperor was so angry that millions of people were killed, and the whole court was as silent as a chill. They resolutely carried out the emperor's orders. No one dared to offend the emperor at this time.
Zhang Dazhu, who worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Household Affairs, heard the adults chatting after the imperial meeting. He knew that the imperial court was about to send a large number of troops to the south, so he immediately hurried home and asked his mother and daughter-in-law to store more food to prevent the imperial court from sending a large number of troops. When troops were sent south, food prices skyrocketed.
After Aunt Zoe found out about this, she didn't dare to be vague. Before Zhang Dazhu left, she hurried to the next door and found Harper Shi.
