When Liu Zeqing was killed, there were many people talking, and it was a little difficult to hide.

After these well-intentioned people worked hard, they knew the true situation of King Zhou's killing of Liu Zeqing's collection of soldiers and horses.

When they knew that King Zhou only rushed into Pei County, where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed, with only a few dozen people, and killed Liu Zeqing in one fell swoop, their hearts were awe-inspiring.

Feng Yuan killed the generals, captured the army, and forcibly recruited nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and did it really neatly.

Even the Jiangnan scholars, who were enemies of King Zhou, had to admire.

After the news of the collapse of Liu Zeqing's forces came out, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, who were stationed in Fengyang Mansion, hurriedly strictly rectified military discipline and strictly guarded the city of the garrison.

It's like a hedgehog that has been touched, curled up in a ball, and defends itself tightly.

After Feng Yuan collected the soldiers and horses, he sent a letter to Emperor Chongzhen of Jinling, and gave Liu Zeqing an the charge of mobilizing the army for no reason, assassinating the vassal king, and attempting to rebel.

The courtiers of Jinling were silent.

After incorporating Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses, the strength in Feng Yuan's hands suddenly increased to more than 100,000!

Although most of these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are rabble, they do not have much combat effectiveness.

But those officials in Jinling don't know this, these soldiers and gentry who don't know how to soldier, they only know how to judge the strength of others from the number of troops.

In their eyes, Zhu Lunsheng, the king of Zhou, was already a powerful feudal town.

If troops are sent south, it can pose a great threat to Jinling, so it has to be guarded against.

Emperor Chongzhen had a suspicious personality, and when he first arrived in Jinling, he was still a little grateful to Feng Yuan in his heart, so the reward was very generous, first he was crowned the king, and then Feng Yuan was in charge of the Jiangbei soldiers and horses.

But after a long time, his old problem returned. He was wary of Feng Yuan.

After the court minister's performance, he pushed the boat down the river and agreed to Shi Kefa's suggestion.

Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and Huang Degong, three general soldiers with tens of thousands of troops, were transferred to Luzhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places.

Pose a threat to the wind element on the flanks.

Feng Yuan looked at this coldly and did not object.

What he has to do now is to completely digest the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and by the way, clean up the people who oppose him in Xuzhou and Huai'an Mansion.

Seeing that Feng Yuan didn't make any other moves, those officials in Jinling, as well as the gentry of the Donglin Party, also breathed a sigh of relief.

These people thought that Feng Yuan didn't know about their small movements in secret.

They rejoiced too soon......

A few days later, on the streets of Jinling City, I don't know who posted notices all over the city, and what was written on them were the "great achievements" of a certain big household and a certain person in Jiangnan over the years.

Among them, there are those scholars and leaders who claim to be upright and gentlemen, morally perfect, and full of begging for the people's lives, but they are arson and murder at home, forcing the people to kill.

Some self-pretentious, honest and honest celebrities have 10,000 acres of land and millions of gold and silver at home. In the court, the emperor should be thrifty and cherish the people, and at home, it costs hundreds of taels of silver to eat a meal.

These guys, who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and have a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes behind their backs, have their true forms exposed, and their true colors have been completely exposed.

In the past, these people controlled the public opinion of the world, and they were the only ones who launched public opinion to attack others, and they had never encountered such a situation.

All of a sudden, the whole city was in an uproar.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw the information on the notice, he was immediately furious and ordered Jinyiwei and Yushitai to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The celebrities and people who were targeted by these notices were put aside for the time being if they were not charged, and those who had definite evidence of the crime were all arrested and imprisoned.

Those generals who have a large army, Chongzhen is afraid in his heart and does not dare to order punishment.

But these scholars who had no soldiers in their hands, he killed a lot.

What's more, these people have been exposed for their true colors, and they have become infamous overnight, and there is also definite evidence of their crimes. Chongzhen dealt with these people without the slightest psychological burden.

This is to meet the general who leads the troops, and strikes hard at the above ministers.

After Feng Yuan knew about this situation, he couldn't help but slander.

"No wonder when Chongzhen rang the Jingyang bell in the capital, few of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were willing to come, and it was not surprising that they became lonely with this kind of behavior of going to prison and killing Wenchen at every turn!"

However, Chongzhen's character is just used to deal with these officials and gentry in Jiangnan.

"This can be regarded as fighting poison with poison!"

Feng Yuan secretly said in his heart, he was watching the various actions of the emperor and the courtiers in Jinling City in Huai'an Mansion City.

He didn't expect much support from these people in the first place.

As long as they can not drag their feet, barely maintain the rule of Jiangnan and not make trouble.

In the city of Jinling.

After Jin Yiwei sent the officials with definite evidence in the notice to prison and searched their homes, according to the information on the notice, he searched more than 2 million taels of silver from the homes of these dozen people, as well as a large number of calligraphy, paintings, and treasures.

These people were originally just middle-aged families, and they have been officials for less than ten years, and they have looted such a large amount of money.

Obviously, all this silver is the people's fat and the people's anointing.

After Chongzhen got a sum of silver, the originally embarrassed treasury suddenly relaxed a lot. It was a bonus.

After getting the benefits, Chongzhen continued to send Jinyi Wei to attack hard.

On the surface, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind the posting of the notice, but secretly he continues to confiscate his family wealth according to the information on the notice.

It wasn't until Li Banghua and Lu Zhenfei, scholars of the Cabinet, played euphemistically, saying that if this continued, the hearts of the Jiangnan gentry would be corrupted, and Chongzhen was a little unwilling to stop.

In fact, whether it is Chongzhen, Li Banghua, Lu Zhenfei and the ministers in the court, they have already guessed that the mastermind behind the posting of the notice is Zhu Lunsheng, the king of Zhou, who is sitting in Jiangbei.

The officials and scholars who were accused of exposing the old bottom were all impeached by the king of Zhou some time ago for changing the ancestral system without authorization, competing with the people for profit, abusing the gentry, and not killing people who were not enough to be angry with the people.

I didn't expect King Zhou's countermeasures to be so ruthless, and directly hit the vital point of these people.

Besides.

King Zhou's people were able to post so many notices on the streets of Jinling overnight, and the hidden forces in Jinling also made them have to pay attention to it.

Soon, in the intelligence of Jinyiwei, the Golden Dragon Gang fell into the sight of the emperor and cabinet ministers.

It is really unprecedented, a mere Jianghu sect can burst out with such power.

Chongzhen and a few scholars knew this, and they didn't dare to do anything to the Golden Dragon Gang for a while. I am worried that if this gang is moved, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the king of Jiangbei Zhou.

The Donglin scholars and squires in the south of the Yangtze River have received a tragic lesson, and the teeth itching for Feng Yuan in their hearts can only die down and become much more peaceful.

Time passes, and it flies by in the blink of an eye.

In July of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was pursued and killed by the Manchu cavalry, and was defeated again in Taiyuan and had to retreat to Shaanxi.

The Manchu generals Azig and Wu Sangui entered northern Shaanxi.

At the same time, Duoduo, the general of the Manchu Dynasty and the prince of Yu, led Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others to lead the army into Shandong and Henan, and the troops were directed at the two Huai.

Feng Yuan immediately mobilized troops and horses, and mobilized 20,000 recruits who had just trained for two or three months to go to Xuzhou, led by Jiang Yingjie, and strictly guarded the city. Prepare for a surprise attack by the Manchu army.

However, the Manchu army soon changed its strategy and prepared to destroy Li Zicheng first.

Duoduo led the army to Tongguan. Prepare to join forces with Azig to pacify Shaanxi.

The two main forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty united, and Li Zicheng could not resist it, so he had to retreat and prepare to retreat to Xiangyang through Wuguan.

After capturing Shaanxi, Dolgon ordered to mobilize a full 10,000 soldiers and horses to surround Huashan, preparing to destroy the Huashan faction that dared to assassinate the first emperor Taiji.
