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

Sun Zhenglan stayed in Guide for three days.

Chen Qiyu wrote letters to some people within the Chuang Army whom he had not contacted for a long time.

He was the governor of the military affairs of five provinces and had numerous good generals under his command.

Many of these people surrendered to Li Zicheng and became generals.

A few days ago, Hao Ancai, the general of the Chu army, wanted to implement Li Zicheng's policy and force the gentry from Shanxi, Beizhili, Henan and other places to settle in Shaanxi, including him.

He even forced his concubine Zhang Nai to commit suicide by taking poison.

After the incident got serious, Chen Qiyu's former general, Tang Tong, who surrendered to Li Zicheng, hurriedly negotiated an agreement.

(Special note: After Li Zicheng paid the money, before heading north to attack Shanhaiguan, he sent his nephew Li Guo, brother-in-law Gao Yigong, Tang Tong and others back to Shaanxi and built a palace in his hometown of Mizhi. The treasures that were paid for the money have always been a mystery. .)

Chen Qiyu was able to stay in Guide.

This incident also became the trigger for Chen Qiyu's decision to build Diaoyutai and live in seclusion.

He wrote another letter to Tang Tong, asking him to take care of his family. After solving their family's worries, Chen Qiyu and Sun Zhenglan went south with dozens of servants.

……

When he arrived at Wuguan and learned that the Ming army had recaptured most of the ancient Shangyu Road, Chen Qiyu felt reassured.

He changed boats, without identifying himself, and headed south along the Han River, passing through Guanghua Chongzhen camp without entering, and rushed directly to the three towns of Wuchang.

This is Zuo Liangyu's territory.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu had nearly 20 troops, and was known to the outside world as an 80-strong army.

Although they are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals...

However, there is a saying that if a person reaches ten thousand, there will be no limit.

Zuo Liangyu has more than [-] people here. The three towns of Wuchang are very solid!

……

Chen Qiyu and Sun Zhenglan pretended to be merchants and docked in Wuchang.

They inquired on the streets. Before planning the strategy in their minds, they must know Zuo Liangyu's political stance.

After the two people inquired about it for a while, they immediately couldn't laugh or cry...

But it turned out that after Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, the Jiangnan gentry was unable to win over Zuo Liangyu, and they were afraid that Zuo Liangyu would interfere with their affairs and ruin their major affairs.

So, while they kept sending envoys to appease Zuo Liangyu, they continued to build Banji City. The city was covered with artillery and the river was blocked...

Wuwei is only [-] miles away from the three towns of Wuchang, the core of Zuo Liangyu's territory!

It can be said that as long as they cross Yuan Jixian's territory, the two sides will be bordering...

With this move, Hong Guangchao could tell who he was wary of!

Zuo Liangyu cursed angrily...

Zuo Liangyu’s dilemma, there are Zhang Xianzhong and others in the west

The news spread throughout the Wuchang market.

In the teahouse, Chen Qiyu just paid for a cup of tea for everyone present, and got a vivid imitation.

An old man with a spitting star on his beard pointed diagonally towards the south of the Yangtze River with one hand and his other hand on his waist, his face full of anger——

"What can I guard against in the west today? I am almost afraid of my ears!"

……

Under Chen Qiyu and Sun Zhenglan's deliberate inquiring, the movements of Zuo Liangyu's troops were immediately clearly visible:

Jiangnan Hongguang Chaotang was wary of Zuo Liangyu's army, for fear of ruining their affairs.

Therefore, while appeasing Zuo Liangyu by increasing his official position, he actively blocked the Yangtze River to prevent Zuo Liangyu from going eastward along the river.

Ma Shixiu, the general on the left, was so angry that he ordered ships loaded with artillery and stayed on the river all day, sealing off the river.

He also ordered to cut off business travel from east to west.

Then, countless sharpened logs were driven into the river, cutting off traffic on the river.

Zuo Liangyu's actions are known to everyone in the three towns of Wuchang!

Between teahouses and restaurants, a few words, two cups of tea money, or a morning drink can make the chatty people of the three towns of Wuchang imitate it vividly.

……

I saw something bad going on between the two sides...

Chen Qiyu was determined, and he and Sun Zhenglan left Jianghan and headed westward along the Yangtze River.

This is what Chen Qiyu said to Sun Zhenglan: "Brother Sun, we have to convince Zuo Liangyu to serve His Majesty, and we have to go elsewhere."

In this way, the confused Sun Zhenglan continued to ride the boat with Chen Qiyu.

After passing Chengtian Mansion, you will reach Jingzhou Dusi Mansion. After crossing Chenglingji, you will enter the waters of Dongting Lake.

Yueyang Tower is not far away.

The vast Dongting is thousands of miles wide, and you can't even see the edge at a glance.

At the bow of the ship, Chen Qiyu, who was playing chess with Sun Zhenglan, said:

"Brother Sun, big things are yet to be decided!"

Longyang, where he is going, is on the bank of Dongting Lake...

Sun Zhenglan also held his beard and sighed:

"Brother Chen is so good at predicting things. With the help from the Jiangnan Little Court, it will be difficult for Zuo Liangyu even if he doesn't want to turn around!"

Chen Qiyu shook his head and chuckled:

"One more magic weapon is missing!"

……

Chen Qiyu took Sun Zhenglan all the way south to Longyang County in Changde Prefecture.

The ship docked at a tidal flat, but Chen Qiyu asked a few followers to go out to find out the news.

The remaining slaves cut down trees and built a simple dock.

The night was dark.

It's time to rest!

Chen Qiyu dropped the chess pieces and smiled as he greeted Sun Zhenglan, who had been chatting all day, to stand up.

The two of them took dozens of servants and headed towards the territory of Longyang.

The road is remote, and in some places it is even necessary to hack with a knife or ax to open a path through the bushes.

Sun Zhenglan asked deliberately, but when she thought of Chen Qiyu's confident appearance, she suppressed her curiosity.

The group of people traveled all night and arrived at a grave.

The night wind blew the flames on the torches erratically.

Spooky!

"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Sun Zhenglan was shocked.

Chen Qiyu did not answer. Under the guidance of his entourage, he came to a tombstone.

Sun Zhenglan looked carefully and saw the tombstone written: The tomb of Mr. Yang, the great scholar of Dongge, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Yang? Bachelor of Dongge University?

Is this Yang Sichang’s cemetery?

Sun Zhenglan's eyes almost popped out!

Chen Qiyu squatted on the grave and lit a bundle of yellow paper:

"Brother Yang, we are all frustrated people, and we are all people who plan for the world.

And today, the world is in ruins, and Brother Yang knows something underground. You don’t want to see it, right? "

He murmured:

"Today, my foolish brother Qi Yu borrowed Brother Yang's tombstone to use. I guess Brother Yang won't blame him, right?"

He raised the corners of his mouth, gave a wry smile, and murmured as if talking to an old friend:

“I originally planned to borrow Brother Yang’s bones to convince Zuo Liangyu.

However, when I got to the grave, I changed my mind.

It would be so wicked to take away Brother Yang’s bones..."

……

Sun Zhenglan's eyes almost popped out!

What?

The magic weapon that Chen Qiyu said could convince Zuo Liangyu - turned out to be Yang Sichang's bones?

God!

You are much more poisonous than the poisonous master Jia Xu!

Nima!

You can use the bones of the dead!

……

Sun Zhenglan was shocked when he saw Chen Qiyu wave his hand and dozens of servants immediately stepped forward and dug out Yang Sichang's tombstone!

Then he dug open the grave and took out a new coffin. After opening it, a stench suddenly hit his face.
