Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Whether it’s Zhu Yousong or Ma Shiying, in fact everyone with a discerning eye knows——

This is the method used by Donglin, Fushe and other Jiangnan gentry to create rumors and slander Zhu Yousong in order to discredit him because they were unable to hold power——

In this way, Donglin and Fushe's methods of embezzling imperial taxes and overthrowing Hongguang Chaotang were "just", and achieved the goal of controlling the country!

Ruan Dayue is a very impulsive person.

As soon as he saw that the situation was out of control, he immediately dispatched an army and forcibly searched tens of thousands of boats.

Finally, the Great Compassionate Demonic Monk was pulled out from the bed of the "talented woman" on a painting boat.

The Jinyi guards tortured him until Dabei confessed.

He said that he was from Huizhou and his surname was Zhu. He became a monk in a Suzhou temple and was instigated by others to become a distinguished person.

Dabei's confession mentioned Qian Qianyi's involvement.

Ruan Dayue was furious and immediately produced "Locust Records" and "Flies Records".

——He compared Donglin to locusts, Fushe to gnats, and all the followers to gnats.

I have to say that this metaphor of Ruan Da Caizi is absolutely amazing!

Really image!

As expected, he can arrange music.

Ruan Dajue even prepared a list of 143 people, preparing to catch all the people in Donglin and Fushe.

However, Ma Shiying knew the importance.

The wealthy gentry of Jiangnan are everywhere and control more than 90% of the wealth in Jiangnan.

If they really go to war in such a big way, they will definitely rebel and directly overthrow the Hongguang Dynasty by force.

Thus, the demon monk case ended with Dabei being executed.

However, once the demon monk case is over, people will not just let it go.

How can we give up without getting the power?

Besides - you don't dare to take action when you have such a good opportunity, you must be afraid of our "Public Justice!"

Hahaha!

Let’s see how I “dare to speak out for [the world]”…

As a result, the "Fake Prince Case" and the "Fake Child Concubine Case" were released one after another.

It was at the end of December 1644 when Monk Dabei came to Beijing.

Until the early morning of May 1645, [-], when Zhu Yousong fled Nanjing——

I have a lot of plans, but only less than 150 days...

On average, there is one rumor every ten days and one major case every forty days!

The demon monk case directly denies the correctness of Zhu Yousong's succession to the throne of emperor!

The child concubine case created an image of Zhu Yousong as a ruthless person who abandoned his wife and children.

This is an act that completely slanders Zhu Yousong from a moral perspective!

The fake prince case is even more cruel!

As soon as this case came out, Zhu Yousong no longer even became emperor.

Not only did he completely destroy Zhu Yousong's status legally, he also persuaded Zuo Liangyu to go south under the guidance of Huang Shu, a member of the Donglin Party.

(This is the Huang Shu who was publicly killed by Zhu Youjian.)

As mentioned earlier, Zuo Liangyu's rise was during the Zhu Youjian period.

Zuo Liangyu had feelings for Chongzhen.

After he obtained Huang Shu's "exclusive secrets", he also heard about the "exciting public sentiment" in Jiangnan.

Coupled with Li Zicheng's move south, Zuo Liangyu moved eastward.

Zuo Liangyu wants to bring order to the chaos, support Prince Chongzhen, and ascend to the throne...

(Of course, Zuo Liangyu’s move is also a great benefit for himself in gaining “support”!)

This incident in history directly caused Zhu Yousong to be forced to leave Nanjing. With the support of Ma Shiying, he prepared to rush to Hangzhou to rebuild the country.

Hangzhou was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is political wisdom to establish the capital of this dynasty in the old capital of the previous dynasty and I will not go into details here.

Ma Shiying's operation is feasible to a certain extent.

However, they ignored the shamelessness of Donglin and Fushe!

The day after Zhu Yousong left, a group of "gentlemen" from Donglin and Fushe broke down the prison door.

Support the false prince and enter the court.

Ready to ascend the throne!

However, if the false prince wants to ascend the throne, he must have an official boss, preferably a veteran of the previous dynasty, to endorse him.

At that time, there were two people recognized by Wenlin in the world as the most awesome people, one was Sun Qifeng and the other was Wang Duo.

The person who best meets this condition is Wang Duo.

At that time, Wang Duo, who served as Prince Shaobao of the Hongguang Dynasty, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, was from Henan.

He is also a disciple of Yuan Keli.

Wang Duo is one of the "Five Great Masters of the Late Ming Dynasty", "Five Talents of Tian Chong", "Three Trees" and "Three Madmen".

Leader Wenlin, he’s had enough!

The best thing is, this man’s political identity!

——He is a veteran from the Tianqi period!

It even pointed out that the so-called "Prince Chongzhen" was a fake - strong witness.

Because he was once the teacher of Prince Chongzhen!

If he can get Wang Duo's support, the fake prince will still be real no matter how fake he is!

Wang Duo has great talent, and he alone can defeat Jiangnan Wenlin.

Don't look at Qian Qianyi dancing for joy, he actually pretended to be a grandson in front of Wang Duo.

When Wang Duo presided over the Jiangnan examination, he was questioned by scholars because the questions were too difficult and it was impossible for an individual to write them...

——He wrote seven articles in a row.

All seven articles are elegant in terms of words, rich in literary sentiments, and well-argued. Each of them is a unique and unique article.

Everyone was shocked on the spot!

At that time, students from Jiangnan would hang a plaque titled "Jiangnan Talented Scholar" at home after passing the entrance examination.

Wang Duo, on the other hand, hung a plaque saying "The only talent in Jiangnan" directly in front of his home.

But no one dared to argue with him.

Wang Duo's great reputation and high talent and learning are evident from this.

If the false prince wants to ascend the throne, he cannot avoid Wang Duo.

Because as long as this former prince’s teacher does not recognize him, the false prince will not be able to ascend the throne.

In other words - if Wang Duo approves, this fake prince will be real!

However, things have reached this point, and Wang Duo still doesn't get along.

They were all dragged to the court, but they still gritted their teeth and claimed that the prince was a lie.

This made everyone in Donglin and Fushe very angry.

Everyone swarmed up and beat Wang Duo.

He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he fell to the ground.

Wang Duo was beaten so hard that he had no choice but to nod in acquiescence.

Everyone was overjoyed, lights were decorated, and the enthronement ceremony was held.

When the matter reaches this point, it can be seen that within Donglin and Fushe, they are united despite facing the imperial power.

When faced with their respective interests, they become so fragmented!

The little ones are still fighting for the "fake prince".

But he didn’t expect that he had already been sold by the big guys!

At this time, Qian Qianyi, Zhu Zhichen, Liang Yungou, Li Chuo and others were plotting to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

He also brought along Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong and other nobles.

The fake prince was crowned as a monkey in just four days...

——was tied up and sent to the Qing court.

As for Wang Duo, he lost all face after this incident and chose to surrender to the Qing court.

Later he became the vice president of Ming Dynasty history. After surrendering to the Qing court, this man never got involved in politics and concentrated on cultural and educational matters.

In the ninth year of Shunzhi, he died of illness.

……

This was the background when Shi Kefa took charge of Jiangbei.

He wants to make a difference…

If he had not surrendered to Ma Shiying, there would still be some possibilities.
