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

Forced to have no choice but to leave the court, Shi Kefa ran to Jiangbei.

Shi Kefa's weakness further boosted the arrogance of Donglin and Fushe.

All the righteous people in the court could not defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so they came up with the "donation of Yan" proposal to "repay the invaders and destroy the obedience"!

Gyeonggi, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, was sold again. (In fact, it was also the Jiangnan literati who left behind the heavy burden of causing disasters all over the north.)

Under such circumstances, Zuo Maodi was appointed as an envoy to Beijing to seek peace with the Tatars.

……

However, the righteous people used the "monk case", "child concubine case", "prince case"... Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others who finally complained could only protect themselves. long.

Unexpectedly - Zheng Hongkui is here!

Facing the Zheng family's army pressing down on the territory, the officials trembled and did not dare to mention the matter of letting Zuo Maodi go north again.

Damn it, you have the right to be a scholar when you encounter a soldier, you have to be right and you can’t explain it!

Just when everyone was shrinking into their turtle shells and not daring to say a word, another news came:

Zheng Hongkui and his navy passed by outside Nanjing and headed straight to the west.

Hundreds of mighty ships turned their noses up at Nanjing, which was just around the corner.

Seeing the "bandit leader" Zheng Hongkui leaving.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped.

All the gentlemen feel that they can do it again!

So, they forced Zuo Maodi and others to go north immediately!

Immediately afterwards, the news that Huang Degong had raised another army also came.

The officials once again acted like cowards.

Unexpectedly, Huang Degong's army actually escorted Zheng Hongkui's navy, heading west from the shore to Wuchang.

The heroes were instantly resurrected with full health again!

Under the strong attack of the public, Zuo Mao's first group was forced to take 1 taels of gold, [-] silver, [-] pieces of silk and satin, countless pearls, jade, coral, and agate, and dozens of carts of goods to go north.

He even brought the imperial letter "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty addressed a letter to the Khan of the Northern Kingdom" and the imperial edict given to "Ji Guogong" Wu Sangui and others to thank the Qing king and reward him for his civil and military service in suppressing the invaders.

Among them, the biggest reward is the land of Yanzhao...

Ridiculous!

Let’s talk about Zuo Maodi’s two deputies—Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu…

In the 15th year of his stay in Chongzhen, Ma Shaoyu was sent as an envoy to the Qing Dynasty under the orders of Chen Xinjia, Minister of War. As a result, Ma Shaoyu stayed in Tashan. The whole city of Tashan fought against the Qing army. After the defeat, the remaining people and soldiers burned themselves to death. There was no trace of chaos in the city. born.

When the city was destroyed, Ma Shaoyu took refuge out of the city under the protection of the Qing army.

After the city was broken, it was immediately protected by the Qing army and returned to the capital. This operation...

The inside story is indeed profound!

On this mission, Hongguang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty together with Wang Yan and Sun Zhengqiang, deputy commander-in-chief Zhang Youcai, Yang Fengchun, Liu Ying and others.

This is pretty good!

Chen Hongfan has even more dark history. This person is definitely a traitor.

This man not only connected with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also had a good relationship with Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong called him his parent and even enshrined his statue.

During the Jiashen Incident, Huang Degong, who was short of troops, wanted to unite Chen Hongfan's troops and go north together to King Qin. After being scolded by him, he sternly refused!

After going north, he fully revealed the military layout of the Hongguang Dynasty, and even personally rushed back to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as an internal response to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Chen Hongfan single-handedly destroyed the Hongguang Dynasty and the Lu Wang Zhu Changzi Dynasty.

It was called "Living Qin Hui" by people at the time...

Historically, the "raising the captives and destroying the Shun" campaign promoted by Donglin and Fushe eventually became the most critical driving force behind the ruin of Jiangnan.

(As far as Donglin Fushe’s operations are concerned, how can I think highly of them?

Not to mention that they are traitors, it is all because of that - a little bit of sympathy for the people who resisted the Qing Dynasty and restored society!

He~Bah! )

……

Lamentable Hongguang Chaotang...

In order to force Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng to join the party, the Jiangnan gentry even cut off the taxes they paid to the court.

If there is no money in the court, military pay will naturally not be paid.

As a result, the four towns wanted to move to Yangzhou. (Yangzhou is the base camp of the salt industry. If you are stationed in Yangzhou, your military pay is guaranteed.)

Not long ago, Gao Jie, who was short of food and wages, rushed to Yangzhou first, looted and killed countless people.

Liu Zeqing plundered Huaishang.

Liu Liangzuo also robbed Linhuai.

In the end, it was Shi Kefa who personally coordinated and made Yangzhou his permanent residence to suppress the matter.

……

It is ridiculous that the gentry refused to pay for the food and did not provide the guards with food and grass, forcing them to "raise their own food."

(As mentioned earlier, in Chinese history, if food and pay were sufficient, military discipline would be good; if food and pay were insufficient, looting would break out. There is no need to be taboo about this matter.)

However, in order to achieve an illusory peace, gold and silver worth four and a half million were spent thousands of miles away!

Absolutely absurd!

……

Zheng Hongkui and Huang Degong left.

The officials immediately forced Zuo Maodi to set off.

Nanjing is right on the Yangtze River.

Soon, the group set sail under the "favorable words" of Zhongzheng.

To go north from Nanjing to the capital, you need to follow the Yangtze River eastward and then arrive between Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.

From the old Jiangkou in Jiangdu, turn into the canal, and go straight up the river to reach Tongzhou, not far outside the capital city.

This place is only [-] miles away from the capital. If the weather is clear, you can even see the majestic Chaoyang Gate.

……

Zuo Mao's first group had just arrived at Jiujiangkou when they heard a loud commotion.

The merchants fled in panic, and they were in a panic for a while.

On the street facing the river, overturned vehicles and thrown goods were everywhere.

There are a dazzling array of shoes and hats that have been squeezed out.

There were even a few separated children sitting on the ground crying.

Zuo Maodi was surprised when he suddenly heard the water on the left turn off, and the officer in charge of opening and closing the gate shouted:

"Hey, do you still want to pass the customs? Just go away quickly, we are closing!"

Although Zuo Maodi didn't know what happened, he no longer hesitated and immediately asked the boatman to sail the boat into the water pass.

At this moment, someone heard the water shut off the wall and someone exclaimed:

"No, no, those boats are too fast, close the ship quickly!"

Zuo Maodi's expression changed and he turned to look.

I saw a fleet of boats with the word "Zheng" hanging on them, covering the surface of the river, meandering towards them.

Looking around, there are at least hundreds of ships of various colors!

"Zheng Ziqi?"

Zuo Maodi's expression changed. Isn't this the symbol of the Fujian Zheng family?

Could this be the Zheng family's fleet to assist Zheng Hongkui?

Could it be that something big happened in the Nanyang court that made Zheng family go to help?

As Zuo Maodi's mind turned, he wanted to ask someone to exit Shuiguan and go to ask for an explanation.

……

The capital is undergoing dramatic changes, and all kinds of news are confusing.

Zuo Maodi, the Yangtze River defense inspector, had no choice but to protect Nandu for the sake of the future.

Zuo Maodi understood that if an emperor died, the Ming Dynasty would not die.

However, once Nanjing is lost, Ming Dynasty will be finished!

There are not a few people who think the same as Zuo Maodi.

According to Shi Kefa, they should have committed a serious crime.

However, for the sake of Ming Dynasty, this choice is not wrong.
