Chapter 109: Upheaval

Although this matter is obviously the fault of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, as long as he thinks that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng have reached a consensus, he, the biggest victim, is determined to take the overall situation into account from the interests of the Guizhou Township Party.

The only resistance he can do is to talk about the possible impact of this matter from the perspective of taking into account the overall situation, but Ma Shiying has long wanted to take into account Yang Longyou's scruples: "It's okay, when I entered the palace, I said that Dacheng was a daughter, and I guarantee that the official can't find any fault, even if Lizhen can't become a queen when she enters the palace this time, she is also a concubine, and it will be beneficial to us and harmless!"

Yang Longyou is most afraid of this sentence "There is a hundred benefits but no harm", although he himself is the biggest victim, but Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng made such a judgment, he can only continue to endure the humiliation: "Then this is the best!"

But I don't know why, Yang Longyou now especially hopes that Liu Yongxi, a sincere uncle, can have a good time in Jiangdu, after all, he and Ruan Lizhen are childhood sweethearts, since she and Ruan Dacheng can't become in-laws, Ruan Dacheng doesn't want to take advantage of this matter.

It's just that the development of things was unexpected by Yang Longyou, although everyone knows that the impact of the "Prince Case" and the "Concubine Tong Case" is very bad, but no one expected that it would reach the point of shaking the country's foundation, and many people even thought that it was the second national case.

This young man who once called himself "Wang Zhiming" set off endless waves as soon as he entered the Beijing Division, although the gentleman of the Donglin Restoration Society did his best to add fuel to the fire, but the subsequent influence has been completely beyond the control of the gentleman.

It was really the Hongguang small court that made all the mistakes that should be made, "There are books everywhere, and Hanlin walks all over the streets." There are many prisons and disciplines like cattle, and the staff is as cheap as a dog. Xianggong only loves money, but the emperor eats wine. swept away the silver in the south of the Yangtze River and filled the mouth of the family", both inside and outside the government and the opposition were full of resentment towards Emperor Hongguang, so they used the "Prince Case" and "Concubine Tong Case" to explode all the grievances.

Except for a very small number of people around Emperor Hongguang, everyone thought that Wang Zhiming was the real crown prince, and even Emperor Hongguang did not dare to cut through the chaos quickly and directly execute the so-called crown prince.

The case of Concubine Tong also set off a shocking political tide, although the truth of Concubine Tong has nothing to do with the overall situation, but in the eyes of many people, it is the best evidence of King Fu's immorality, and although Emperor Hongguang is the true son of heaven, there is Empress Yi'an Zhang in Jinhua Mansion in central Zhejiang, and King Lu is in Hangzhou Mansion, Zhejiang, not to mention that everyone is the most important thing is the vassal king.

Although Wang Duo, a cabinet minister who was an instructor in the East Palace, repeatedly pointed out that this Wang Zhiming was by no means the real prince, many people suspected that this was at the behest of Emperor Hongguang, and everyone believed that only Yi'an Zhang Niangniang was the real authority in this matter, and only she could recognize whether this was the real prince or not.

But now that Empress Zhang has moved to Jinhua, Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying and his entourage naturally dare not hand over this "prince" to Empress Zhang, lest Empress Zhang's camp take advantage of the topic to play the "Three Chapters of the Law" and set up a new monarch.

But the idea of "setting up another virtuous monarch" is not only the idea of Donglin Fushe, Huguang's Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao all have such thoughts, and Huguang's envoy has been to Jinhua, but according to rumors from the outside world, Empress Zhang has limited interest in this matter, so she directly questioned the envoy sent by Huguang: "No matter what you want to do, you have to send Huang Shu's head first!"

Empress Zhang and Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji are both Kaifeng people, and they naturally hate Huang Shu who opened the Yellow River embankment and flooded Kaifeng, and now Huang Shu is the Huguang Patrol Imperial History, second only to Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao, and is the most enthusiastic advocate of "another virtuous monarch", and now he is the most favored by Zuo Liangyu, so Empress Zhang specially asked Huguang to send Huang Shu's head to negotiate.

Zhu Dadian had quite an objection to this, but Zhang Guowei felt that Empress Zhang was indeed a virtuous and virtuous queen: "Niangniang is wise, this matter has to be judged by Niangniang, and it cannot be manipulated by Huguang." ”

Zhang Guowei really felt that this matter had to be "judged" by Empress Zhang, and this kind of major matter should be handled by Zhezhong and could not be handed over to Huguang.

And this reply made Huguang's people's hearts change, and now Huang Shu is making more trouble, crying every day Qin Ting asked Zuo Liangyu to send troops east, and when Zuo Liangyu hesitated, an unexpected change made him make up his mind.

That is, after Li Zicheng lost Xi'an, he moved south to Jingxiang under the pursuit of the Qing army, and the Dashun army left behind by Jingxiang had a total of 200,000 people who could point to Wuchang at any time.

Although they were all defeated by the Qing army many times, but the news of the 200,000 Dashun army going south still frightened Zuo Liangyu, from the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu met Li Zicheng and never won a victory, but fortunately escaped faster and faster and more skilled to have today's situation.

Although Zuo Liangyu has more than 100,000 troops in Huguang, they are all scattered soldiers, and they are definitely not Li Zicheng's opponents, not to mention that Li Zicheng has a more ferocious and terrible Qing army behind him, so he feels that if he is defeated by Li Zicheng, it is better to lead the army east to take the southern capital of Jinling.

The force relied on by the Hongguang small court was only the four towns of Jiangbei, Zuo Liangyu felt that he couldn't deal with Li Zicheng, but he should still be very sure of cleaning up the four towns of Jiangbei, and the only terrible person in the four towns of Jiangbei was only Gao Jie, a man with 30,000 soldiers and 9,000 horses, but Gao Jie was dead, and the rest of Gao Jie was already a mess of scattered sand, Liu Yongxi, Mrs. Xing, Li Benshen, Yang Chengzu, and Guo Hu were not convinced by anyone, so it was not a problem at all.

Although Huang Degong can fight, he is still very different from Gao Jie, and the rest of Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing are all rabble, and they are even inferior to Liu Yongxi, a newly rising young general, as long as Zuo Liangyu leads his troops eastward, he will naturally be able to win a big victory, and they may not dare to fight with Zuo Liangyu's army, let alone in this way, whether it is Li Zicheng or Azig, they can only catch up.

This is Zuo Liangyu's ability to run away from the general, so on March 23, Zuo Liangyu claimed to be in Nanjing by the secret order of the first emperor and the prince went to Nanjing to rescue and crusade against Ma Shiying, the whole army went straight down the river, and before leaving, he also slaughtered Wuchang at the suggestion of Huang Shu, and at the same time slaughtered the entire Wuchang army, which was composed of guerrillas and bravery, suddenly became bloodthirsty and belligerent, and the army of 100,000 was like a bamboo all the way to capture dozens of cities.

This unexpected change frightened the Hongguang small court, although Zuo Liangyu's eastward advance had long been expected, but Zuo Liangyu's eastward advance made the Hongguang small court panicked, in addition to the urgent mobilization of Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Fang Guoan, Liu Kongzhao's Jiangshui division and Liu Yongxi, Mrs. Xing's Jiangdu army have become the lifeline of the Hongguang small court.
