"No ...... No drop? ”

Chen Mingxia kept chewing on these two words, and his face was also slightly bitter and ashamed.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Chen Mingxia soon surrendered.

The main thing is that the thieves have been tossing for more than ten years, from everyone's hostility and hatred and contempt, this northwest man has always insisted on not surrendering, whether it was the original 36 joint camps, or the later 5th battalion of the revolutionary left, the leaders of the peasant army, including Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, have surrendered to the imperial court, whether they are sincere or false, in short, the leaders of the various departments have been surrendered by Zhao'an.

But Li Zicheng never surrendered, and he never had the idea of surrendering!

This leader of the rogue has an indomitable will and the belief that he will not give up if he is defeated and defeated repeatedly, and it is precisely because of this that when Li Zicheng finally conquered the Jingshi, everyone believed that he was the founder of the new dynasty and the person whose destiny lies.

Dynasty reincarnation, the change of destiny, these things are hidden in the heart of every scholar, although the astronomical astrology is not allowed to study privately, but the gentry who study these things privately are not a minority?

The theory of the prophecy has been spread since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are many believers in the Ming Dynasty.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, a large number of civil and military officials chose to surrender as soon as possible.

Who knows that if he does not change his habits, he not only ignores those noble eunuchs, but also treats civil officials like a mustard.

It may be that there are too many Ming officials killed when they are in the world, which causes the Liukou group to only focus on force, and look down on the generals who surrendered, but ignore those civilian officials.

In other words, the rogues had a natural hatred for the literati gentry, who were all extremely poor and bullied the gentry officials the most when they were originally from the people.

After entering Beijing, Li Zicheng indulged Liu Zongmin and others to torture and plunder the honorable civil officials, and he did not know how many nobles and officials were killed and disabled under the stick, and indeed a large amount of gold and silver were also tortured.

But the consequence of this is that the people are not attached, and these officials seem to be insecure, but everyone cannot be an isolated individual, he has relatives, old friends, protégés, and friends.

Moving a person is moving a group of people, a gentry has a strong influence in the people, in the Ming Dynasty, where the literacy rate is very low, the scholars were originally respected and trusted by the people, although there are many gentry and students who do many illegal things, fish and meat towns, but there are also many people who maintain relative integrity, these people's words and deeds are enough to influence thousands of people.

The influence of countless gentry officials was enough to influence the course of history.

After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, his original foundation in Shanxi and Hebei was not stable, and the people in Beijing were separated, and Hebei, Henan, and Shandong did not stabilize their rule in time, establish officials, levy taxes, and organize and digest the remnants of the Ming army.

After entering Beijing, Li Zicheng's strength not only did not improve, but regressed.

By the time he had to go on an expedition to Shanhaiguan, the benefits of marching into Beijing had disappeared, and even Chen Mingxia could see that Li Zicheng acted perversely, and he had fought militarily for more than ten years, but in terms of government affairs, it was completely the level of a reckless villager, not to mention that compared with the Ming Taizu, it was far worse than the barbarians outside the Guanwai.

Speaking of Jiannu is a barbarian, but since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty from the far north of the south, and then turned into a small tribe in the Ming Dynasty Fushun outside the area of the area, these hundreds of years to lead the Ming Dynasty guard command seal letter, is also a hundreds of years of military attache family, and then its leader is strong will be called Khan, although it has been exterminated many times is also a lot of experience.

It has been decades since the founding of Nurhachi, even if it was originally a barbarian nonsense, and a village would be the national capital, but it has been nearly 30 years since they took Shenyang as the national capital.

It is also because Li Zicheng has not consolidated the rear before this, has not served as an official, and has not dealt with him as a serious Ming civil official.

Soldiers' food, money, grain, culture, education, and punishment are competing for the hearts of celebrities, and these complex things are really not understood without a certain level, and they can't be played.

Only Song Xiance and Liu Jinxing and others, the former is full of warlocks, talking nonsense, what do you really know about military and political avenues?

The latter is a lifter, and he has never even been an official, and he doesn't know the trick.

Li Ziben himself just read a few books on the general knowledge of governance, which are just history books recorded by pedantic literati, and add a few unrealistic comments to find the way to govern the country from this book, which is also a real joke.

Like Daming Taizu, he actually didn't read much, but his talent was on the military and political avenue, and then he didn't read much, which was what he did later.

Li Zicheng is poor here, his talent is insufficient, and his acquired efforts are not enough, of course, he has been under suppression, displaced, and there is no way to read through.

Chen Mingxia thought that he had already descended first, and then he had to descend to the east again, in comparison, Zhu Wanchun, who was born in a mere salt merchant family, has always been regarded as an ordinary person, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhu family has Bing Jing and Tan Jing every year, Chen Mingxia's status and status would never have met him, let alone have any dealings.

And now that he has fallen again and again, the other party insists that he will never fall, although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, but this determination and will still make Chen Mingxia feel embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Will you never surrender?" Chen Mingxia smiled and said to Liang Shifa: "You can stay with me." Just to see the changes in the capital division, it is also necessary to report what you see to your proprietor truthfully, and he will make a decision when he sees the end. ”

"Yes, thank you, sir." Since the other party was willing to take him in, of course Liang Shifa also changed his name, Chen Mingxia had nothing to do with this, and waved his hand to signal Liang Shifa to retreat.

Although Chen Mingxia had already made up his mind earlier, hoping to introduce himself to surrender to the Qing court through Tang Ruowang, at this moment, he suddenly hesitated.

If the Qing army can go straight to Nanjing and occupy Huguang in the south of the Yangtze River, then even if there are repetitions in other places, it will be a general trend.

With the Manchurian Eight Banners as the main force, the servant Han army as the minions, and the famous reputation of the Eastern Capture for decades of victory over the Ming army, at least hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will be used by the Qing court.

He appointed the Ming Dynasty to levy taxes in the local area, and used the reduction of taxes and the exemption of Liao salary to win the hearts of the people, in Chen Mingxia's judgment, the Qing court won the world for a maximum of one or two years.

But if there are variables in Jiangnan, there are really heroes who take advantage of the situation, as long as Nanjing and Jiangnan are kept, then the Ming Dynasty can maintain the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the worst.

If this is the case, the reputation of his own kind of demotion will be unpleasant, not only Chen Mingxia, but even an ordinary magistrate from Jinshi in the north at this time will hesitate on the issue of whether to demote the Qing.

This is the change of people's hearts under the general trend, and this is also what Chen Mingxia and others are most worried about.

"No down, hehe, no down?" After Chen Mingxia sent Liang Shifa away, he also had no intention of meeting guests, and sat in the study, smiling bitterly again and again.

"Min Yuanqi......" Chen Mingxia picked up his pen and wrote to some old friends who stayed in Nandu, and the letters and personnel exchanges between the two sides were actually not severed.

At this time, the Qing court had not yet woven a legal net, and Li Zicheng ignored these bird egg matters, as long as he could break through the bandit poles of Xiangma and most of the bull's hair, and could run to the south under the interweaving of chaotic soldiers and rogues, Li Zicheng and the Qing court had no intention of stopping them.

Otherwise, at this time, there would not have been a large number of Beijing officials continuing to go south, and later there would have been Beijingers running to Nanjing to pretend to be the prince.

I have to say that at this time, under the auspices of the Qing court, several teenagers were just beheaded in July, which is the case of impersonating Prince Zhu Ming as mentioned by the Qing court.

There are fake princes on both sides of the north and south, and the one in the south is obviously fake, but the Donglin party people are fishing in the water, in order to shake the legal system and foundation of Emperor Hongguang, not to say that the fake is true, but after being judged to be fake, the Donglin party people did not forgive, and directly ordered Zuo Liangyu Xingshi to Nanjing, saying that he wanted to clear the monarch's side.

The real purpose is, of course, Emperor Qinghong Guangdi and Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying is not to be outdone, and directly sent Huang Degong and others to fight, and the two sides fought for a fake prince.

The young man killed by the Qing court at this time was the real Ming Prince, the prince and the Yongwang, and the king fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng did not embarrass the underage young man, but just took him with him.

Later, after the defeat, Li Zicheng left Beijing in a hurry, and the crown prince and Yongwang Dingwang fell into the hands of the Eight Banners.

These children knew something sinister, immediately confided their identities, and were then imprisoned by the Qing court.

Later, Dolgon was determined not to let go of the descendants of these great tomorrows, of course, these beasts also wanted to be faced, and openly beheading Chongzhen's son was tantamount to slapping his face, so he pretended to be a fake prince, and without much interrogation at all, he was directly sentenced to beheading.

The poor three underage children were directly beheaded and framed as fake princes.

The Qing court's attitude towards the sons of Chongzhen was like this, until decades later, Kangxi also beheaded the fifth son of the emperor who was in his seventies, along with the unwitting family of well-meaning hosts.

Chen Mingxia wrote several letters, without exception, to inquire about Min Yuanqi's news, but also to see how the new general soldiers of Dahe Town were doing, and whether it would really cause some variables in the south.

After writing the letter, he wrote to his friends in Beijing, telling them the new news that Liang Shifa had brought from the south.

Some of these people have already surrendered, some are planning to go south, and some are determined to stay in Beijing for a while to see how the situation is going.

Originally, everyone lived in the east or west city, and only a few poor families lived in the south city.

Now it is very convenient, all Han officials, even when they are old court officials, have been driven out of the original inner city, and the big guys have been driven to live in the southern city, which is convenient for exchanging messages and letters.

It's just that personnel exchanges should be much more careful, the Qing court is quite vigilant and cautious in the interaction of officials, once the traces are revealed, it is not a small disaster, Chen Mingxia also tries to bend his pen when writing letters, so as not to fall into the hands of others and cause trouble.

After everything was done, the famous Qingliu official of the dynasty sighed, rubbed his wrist, and then got up to look south of the window.

Everything in the south is both familiar and unfamiliar, and at this moment, Chen Mingxia also doubts whether he is making a big fuss.

What kind of different changes can the familiar scenery and people have, if you are a mere servant, can you really do it?
