Liu Ximing had already told the Central Plains Newspaper in Jiangnan that only by being fair and just could it be possible to survive in Jiangnan.

As Mi Di did, it is difficult to mix the truth into the truth, but it is much easier to mix the truth with the truth, how could Liu Ximing, such a brainwashing weapon, give up in vain.

Indeed, as Liu Zongzhou said, as soon as the Central Plains Daily received the order of the Nanjing Yamen, it immediately published a special issue, on which Hongguang Chao's reply to Liu Ximing's article was published.

Liu Ximing was declared the enemy of the DPRK, and ordered the officials, soldiers, and people of Huguang, Jiangxi, and other countries to put things in order.

This news soon became known to everyone as the Central Plains News spread across the country, and people in Jiangnan and Huguang were panicked.

It's a pity that Hongguang Dynasty's actions are equivalent to showing the blind, Huguang and other places have already been infiltrated by Liu Ximing's operation, and he claims to support the crown prince Zhu Cihong is also orthodox, but these tricks are useless to him.

Ma Shiying's actions were very good, and there was soon a will in Nanjing City to reach the four towns of Jiangbei.

It's just that as Shi Kefa knows, at present, the four towns in Jiangbei are already fighting internally in order to grab the territory.

Gao Jie was originally Li Zicheng's subordinate, and after Chongzhen followed Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi for fifteen years, he fled directly to Henan with his soldiers and horses.

Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing have already evolved into warlords, and only Huang Degong is still concerned about the imperial court.

With the establishment of Nanjing, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong, because Yangzhou was rich and located in the rear, all vied for the right to garrison troops, and even attacked and plundered each other.

In the end, it was Shi Kefa who came forward to suppress everyone and placed Huang Degong in Chuzhou, Liu Liangzuo in Linhuai, Gao Jie in Xuzhou, and Liu Zeqing in Huai'an.

At present, Huang Degong is the closest to Jiangxi under Liu Ximing's command, and this holy decree will naturally reach his hands.

In Chuzhou City, Huang Degong couldn't cry or laugh when he received Zhu Yousong's holy decree.

He does have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command now, but who is Liu Ximing, then he is the Central Plains Governor appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, holding Cao Bianjiao and other elite troops in his hands.

Just by looking at the achievements in Huguang and Henan, you can know that hundreds of thousands of Liukou came to attack and failed to succeed, what can they do.

However, Huang Degong is indeed a loyal and righteous person, although he scolded directly in front of the Qincha, but after a little persuasion, he also agreed.

Huang Degong, who had just settled down, immediately raised 50,000 troops and went straight to Jiujiang Mansion.

Ever since Liu Ximing announced his refusal to recognize the Nanjing regime, Jiangxi and other places, which were the front lines under Liu Ximing's command, had entered a state of war readiness.

Jiujiang is the jurisdiction of Shao Derong, and he specially arranged for his command to guard Lu Dexia, and most of the gunboats dispatched from Xiangyang were also concentrated here.

Huang Degong marched to Jiujiang by land and water, but before the land route arrived, the waterway suffered a big loss, and was intercepted and bombarded by the Yangtze River Fleet arranged by Lu Dexia halfway, and had to retreat directly.

When Huang De's troops arrived in Jiujiang Mansion, they not only had to face the danger of being blocked on the water, but also had to face the 30,000 elites of the Liu family under Lu Dexia.

As soon as the land battle was fired, Huang Degong ran away very simply, leaving more than 3,000 corpses behind.

This was the end of Hongguangchao's counterattack against Liu Ximing, and when the news came out, many of the governors who had already sworn allegiance in various places also wavered.

This Nanjing Imperial Court, it doesn't look very reliable.

~~~

June 27, 16th year of Chongzhen.

Dong Fuyu happily walked into the basement of the Xuanyuan Temple again.

"Your Highness, good news, good news."

Although Zhu Cihong and others are hiding in the secret room, they often move in the courtyard when there is no one in the Taoist temple, so not only has the time of this month not become weaker, but because the Liu family's meals arranged by Jiang Deshen and others are much stronger.

Hearing that Dong Fuyu was so excited, Zhu Cihong was also quite happy and said, "What is the happy event of the Taoist chief?" ”

"Hahaha, it's not a happy event for the poor, but Li Zicheng led the army to defeat at Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui, the guard of Shanhaiguan, surrendered to Jianjiao, leading Jianyu to attack the thieves by surprise and kill tens of thousands of thieves."

Zhu Cihong, Princess Changping and others were surprised and delighted when they heard this, and the most hated by several teenagers now was naturally Li Zicheng, and they all felt happy when they heard that Li Zicheng had failed.

The sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the secret room again, and Jiang Deshen's figure flickered.

"Your Highness, the Li thief has been defeated, and the capital is in a panic, and the time has come for us to leave Beijing."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Cihong's young eyes.

On the afternoon of the 27th, more than a dozen carriages came to the gate of Xuanyuanguan, and Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong and others after makeup were loaded into different carriages, and the group was divided into several roads, and quietly went out of the city from Chaoyang Gate, Dongzhi Gate and other places.

The purpose of Jiang Deshen and others was Tianjin, which was more than 200 miles away from Beijing.

As soon as they got out of the city gate, hundreds of cavalry quietly avoided the troops of the Dashun Army and surrounded them, escorting Jiang Deshen and others all the way to the southeast.

As the Dashun army approached the Beijing division, the Luzon fleet, which had already been ordered by Liu Ximing, arrived at the Tianjin dock at a certain time, and loaded all the craftsmen and equipment arranged here when Liu Ximing was the head of the household department and took them away.

This work has been quietly going on for several months, and it was not until the Dashun army took over Tianjin that it was discovered that the entire Baoquan Bureau had long been emptied.

At this time, it coincided with the great turmoil, and no one could clearly tell the door inside, and the craftsmen who were taken away once again provided a large number of human resources for the development of Luzon industry, which further promoted the development of Luzon industry.

With the conquest of the Beijing Division, Li Zicheng sent an army from the East Road to capture Shandong and other places, and good news also came that the entire northern China was basically controlled by the Dashun army.

But this kind of rule is like a castle in the air, except for the army, the Dashun army has no talent to govern the local area at all, as long as there is an external force to intervene, this kind of rule will be broken without attack.

It was precisely under these circumstances that Jiang Deshen and others were able to successfully break through under the cover of the Military Intelligence Bureau, as for Huang Zonghui, Du Liangji, and Liu Ximing's family Li Xiangjun and others, who were originally staying in Beijing, they had already taken advantage of the chaos to move away when the Dashun army was about to arrive in Beijing.

After a night of overnight travel, in the early morning of 28 July, Jiang Deshen and his entourage rushed to a remote wharf in the south of Tianjin.

Boarding several Luzon warships, under the cover of night, Zhu Cihong and his entourage smoothly went south along the coastal road.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Cihong took Zhu Cijiong and others to look back at the shore, and a sense of sadness rose in the hearts of several people.

The fleet made its way to avoid the main shipping lanes, and when it reached the vicinity of Matsue Prefecture, several more cruisers joined in.

The entire fleet suddenly expanded to the size of one battleship of the third rank, four cruisers, and six frigates.

Zhao Jingyong, deputy governor of the Luzon Navy, who came to serve as the commander-in-chief of the escort operation, saw that all the personnel were in place, and the entire fleet was like a sharp sword, and sailed towards the mouth of the Huangpu River.

The Hongguang Dynasty has a river master on the river, but these people are all from the original Jiangnan team, and they have long been decayed.

At this moment, seeing such a behemoth as the Luzon fleet sailing on the river, the sailors along the river only dared to look at it from afar but did not dare to move forward.

In the city of Nanjing, a military report was received that a large Western ship had entered the Yangtze River, and all the monarchs and ministers of the Hongguang Dynasty were surprised.

Shi Kefa, the superintendent and the secretary of the military department, hurriedly pulled Liu Kongzhao, who was busy with the power struggle, and several people went to the Lion Rock to watch.

Seeing the figure of the Luzon fleet from a distance, Shi Kefa was quite suspicious and said:

"Recently, I have often heard that there is a new country named Luzon overseas, which is good at using Western plywood ships, which not only won the Zheng family in Fujian to seek peace, but now also monopolizes the trade between Japan, Korea and the South Seas.

It has been six years since the rise of Luzon, and the officials of Beijing don't care, but the net worth of all the officials in Nanjing is closely related to maritime trade, and it is impossible to say that they don't know.

However, firstly, the Luzon navy was strong, and secondly, the Luzon people never invaded the border, and only relied on their naval superiority to continue to encroach on Northeast Asian commerce.

Liu Kongzhao, as a descendant of Liu Bowen, has more or less two brushes.

Seeing the sharp cannons on the ships of the Luzon fleet from afar, Liu Kongzhao shook his head directly.

"It's really a strong ship, and I, the sailor, can't stop this kind of force, but the superintendent has a plan?"

Shi Kefa bit his lips and thought carefully for a long time, "Hurry up and let the city defense troops prepare the artillery, if the Luzon people want to invade the territory, then of course we can only fight, and quickly send a few clippers to ask them about their intentions." ”
