Jinling City at the beginning of the nineteenth year of Chongzhen was very lively.

Nanming Ju was happy from top to bottom, not because Li Zicheng was deflated, or the Tartars suffered losses, Zheng Zhilong led the troops to fight Denglai to the south, and the Denglai army withdrew from Ye County, although the Tartars killed and injured many people, and also lost a Li Shutai, but also controlled the overall situation of Denglai.

It's not that Grandma Qin (Qin Liangyu), who is over seventy years old, is like a divine helper, leading the stone white pole soldiers to beat Zhang Xianzhong's crying father and mother. It was Nanning of the Ming Dynasty who waited for Zuo Liangyu to be braided.

When his son Zuo Menggeng's funeral report was sent to Jinling, it was the Lantern Festival, and Emperor Chongzhen happily ate an extra bowl of rice balls.

This major trouble within the Ming Dynasty was solved.

Although Emperor Chongzhen immediately summoned Zuo Mengeng to the court, Zuo Mengeng did not obey obediently. However, many of his subordinate generals, such as Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Hao Xiaozhong, Jin Shenghuan, Chang Deng, Xu Yong, Wu Xueli, Zhang Yingyuan, Xu Yuxian and other 36 battalion generals, have secretly communicated with the imperial court.

That is, there is no external pressure on the left part now, otherwise, it would have fallen apart long ago.

A henchman disappeared like this, which Emperor Chongzhen never expected. You know, Zuo Liangyu is not very old. is less than fifty years old, and as a general in the army, people are suddenly gone.

In addition to shouting the blessing of the ancestors, what else can Emperor Chongzhen call?

The entire city of Jinling was also plunged into a carnival.

Since the imperial court moved south, the Jinling government and the opposition did not mention it externally, but there were two hidden dangers inside, one was the powerful Zheng Zhilong, and the other was Zuo Liangyu, who had 800,000 troops.

The two of them are invincible in a naval battle, and they say that if they kill Jinling, they can kill Jinling. Don't look at Emperor Chongzhen's integration of the Huang Fei Department into the imperial camp, as well as the Shen family's sand boat gang, but this surface strength cannot be compared with Zheng Zhilong at all.

Don't mention those sail warships, just say that the centipede ships and old lock ships of the Zheng Junshui Division, when they are gathered, I am afraid that they can easily sweep the Yangtze River.

However, this major problem was the first to be solved, and people did not come to Jinling at all, but were bent on expanding their territory overseas.

Then the remaining Zuo Liangyu will become a thorn in the side of the big guy.

Sitting on Huguang, if the Zuo army goes east along the river, the threat to Jinling can be imagined. Zuo Liangyu in history colluded with Donglin to raise troops to the south, which can be said to be a divine assist for the Tartars to come south.

In this plane, such a threat still exists. And with Bai Wang's army tending to be on the defensive in Jingxiang, although Zuo Liangyu did not take Xiangyang, he easily captured Jingzhou, although there is still Xiangyang in the north, and there is still the hard bone of Gao Doushu in Yunyang, but he has captured both sides of the river, and his military environment has been greatly improved. Naturally, the threat to Jinling has also increased further.

That Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Yanling took his own soldiers and rushed to Jiujiang to fortify early, and cooperated with Yuan Jixian, in order to build a solid defensive position at this juncture point in Jiujiang?

But who would have thought that Zuo Liangyu, who was in the prime of life, would die like this? It's really blessed by our ancestors.

Leaving a Zuo Mengeng who has no great talent and power, there is a ghost who can maintain the Zuo family's army.

Li Guoying, Jin Shenghuan, these fierce generals, who put him in his eyes as a 'young general' who is distinguished by his father's cuteness?

Zuo Liangyu didn't call him the king and the emperor, Zuo Mengeng was just a young general, not a young master.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen is fully sure that he has hollowed out those generals of the Zuojia Army one by one. At that time, not only did he not have a big trouble, but he could also have an extra strong army.

As long as he thinks of Zuo Liangyu's hard-earned family foundation, and now it will fall into his hands, Emperor Chongzhen's mood is about to fly.

The emperor was in a good mood, and so were the courtiers.

The two henchmen are now all solved, which is the prosperity of the country. And the strength of the imperial court is gradually increasing, all of which shows that it is developing in a good direction. Aren't they, as vested interests, also rejoicing?

The news that Zheng Zhilong took Luzon, as well as the news that Zheng Zhilong opened a killing spree in Manila, came to Jinling under this circumstance.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care at all how many Spaniards died in Manila. His generation slaughtered tens of thousands of Chinese in the past, and now they are slaughtered again, which is just a crime that they deserve. Several sanctimonious people in the court slandered Zheng Zhilong's indiscriminate killing, purely because he had nothing to do.

What he really focused on was the significance of Zheng Zhilong getting Luzon......

"Your Majesty means ......, Lord Jin?"

Jiang Dejing looked at Emperor Chongzhen carefully. Now I want to give Zheng Zhilong a knight, is this too impatient?

Emperor Chongzhen has always suppressed all his negative feelings towards Zheng Zhilong, and Jiang Dejing doesn't seem to have heard the slightest dissatisfaction with Zheng Zhilong from him in the past two years.

made him think that Emperor Chongzhen really believed in Zheng Zhilong. But now look, hehe......

"Xiyi slaughtered my Ming people twice, from the emperor to the emperor, down to me, all of whom hated it. It's just that I'm tired and incapable of moving the army. Today, Annanhou was hated by the snow, which made my heart happy. Even more to raise my majesty, how can I not be awarded? ”

Emperor Chongzhen had already forgotten the "Edict to Lu Song", and Jiang Dejing had also forgotten about it.

What is "the four people of China, the businessmen are the cheapest, how can the businessmen and the people stir up the military revolution"? What "businessmen abandon their homes and swim in the sea, do not return in winter, father, brother and relatives, they despise everything, it is a pity to abandon them, and the soldiers are opposed to working as teachers", that is just a pretext.

Emperor Daming is benevolent and loves the people, and has always been very concerned about his people, otherwise he would not threaten Xiyi with 'cutting off the sea ship', right? He also moved to understand the reason, saying that the Spaniards were "wise and prudent men, and they will regret the massacre of such a large number of overseas Chinese." As long as the Westerners repatriate the living, and all the descendants of the remnants of Zhangzhang and Quan, as well as their own looted goods and property, and send them back to the county, the two countries will be reconciled, and the merchant ships will set sail as before. Otherwise, there is no need to say that the relatives of the deceased will form an army, sail out in the wind, and burn all the jade, right?

At that time, a few years after the Ming Dynasty ended the Korean War, the treasury was empty, and it was simply unable to send troops overseas.

Naturally, what he said was not true.

Skip this matter, just look at Emperor Chongzhen's meaning, he really wanted to kick Zheng Zhilong out as soon as possible. Jiang Dejing didn't dare to say a word 'no', he was Zheng Zhilong's hometown, and if he didn't speak much, he might be expanded and explained, causing the emperor to be suspicious.

After being happy with Emperor Chongzhen for a long time, Jiang Dejing withdrew from the imperial city with bitterness in his heart.

When I returned home, I saw that there was no one in the courtyard, but in the gatehouse, there were several small people around the doorman Jiang Tianfu, either serving tea, or beating legs and pinching shoulders, all of whom were serving attentively. And Jiang Tianfu held a newspaper in his hand, and he shook his head and read it.

“………… On the third day of the first month, the Chinese were very hungry in Dalun Mountain, they could not eat, they risked death to attack the city, razed the people and ambushed the people, burned copper guns to kill more than 10,000 Chinese, the Chinese were defeated, or fled, starved to death in the valley, or were killed by the natives, and the corpses piled up one after another, with a total loss of 25,000 people, and only 300 survivors. ……”

Jiang Dejing didn't get angry, he knew what it was when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, a few days after the Donglin Party attacked Zheng Zhilong, the "News" published a report, and the report was quite detailed. This hot spot is really unspeakable.

And only sitting on the massacre of the Chinese is much better than "Shilin Daily" and "Beijing Daily".

As a new thing born in Jinling City recently, the speed of newspaper transmission is extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, just say that there are more newspapers in the large and small teahouses in Jinling City, although many of them are part-time storytellers, which can also explain the influence of this newspaper.

Of course, the boss behind the "News" will never lose his strength. On the contrary, it was called "Shilin Daily" and "Beijing Daily" to make a profit.

However, you can't deny that this newspaper is really important. In the case of The News, for example, the advertisements inside are not enough, but the interesting overseas facts, geographical discoveries, and the history of Europa are very open-minded. The Jiang family has now subscribed to several newspapers, and Jiang Dejing himself loves to read those anecdotes. But as a political figure, what makes him more important is the newspaper comments and current reviews, which are very intriguing.

The plot of the master behind this newspaper is ......, I'm afraid it's not small. It is also forbidden for the Donglin Party to jump like this.

Although there was a smell of copper, and there were several other small decorations, in Jiang Dejing's eyes, it must not hide its fundamental purpose.

Since the newspaper began to be sold in Jinling City, more than one person in the government and the opposition has clamored for a ban on the sale of the newspaper. If this thing really has influence, the Donglin Party, the Restoration Society, and the like will all be miserable. Don't look at the Donglin Party's quick follow-up. But no one else should run a newspaper, and the Donglin Party itself can run a newspaper, which is the most beautiful.

Jiang Dejing was born in Fujian Province, and he couldn't pee in the same pot as Jiangnan Shilin. The Donglin Party in the court is very strong, but they are not without enemies, and even the emperor is deliberately supporting others to balance the Donglin Party.

It's like a cabinet. No matter how close Zhou Yanru had with the Donglin Party, at least on the surface, he was not the Donglin Party.

Although Zhang Guowei is a Jiangnan person, he is not a Donglin party. Not only is it not the Donglin Party, but it also has a big grudge against it. At the beginning, Zhang Guowei was appointed as the governor of Shuntian (Jinling), and he was dismissed because of the burning of Liyang before he took office, which can be said to be a big heel. (At that time, Zhang Guowei was ordered to investigate the "greedy and evil deeds" of Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiyun played by Chen Luqian, and it was clear who was behind it.

And he, Jiang Dejing, is the representative of Fujian. Qian Qianyi, the giant of Donglin, is just a scholar of the Ministry of Rites with no real power.

The strength of the Donglin Party in the court is not weak, but it is not without opponents.

This time, it was because of the struggle between the two factions that the newspaper gradually grew bigger in Jinling City.

As for whether there is a behind-the-scenes owner of the newspaper inside, it must be indispensable. But if it weren't for this climate, I'm afraid the newspaper would have changed owners a long time ago.

Not to mention that this newspaper also advertises this kind of red fruit mattress, which makes Shilin even more disgusted.

No matter what happens in private, everyone wants to say nothing about money on the surface.

It's terrible that there are articles in the newspapers that are associated with the smell of copper.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings......"

Jiang Dejing said with a sigh.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong's behavior in Luzon came out, someone in the court had just slandered Zheng Zhilong's indiscriminate murder and cruelty, and the newspaper was mixed in. There is also the emperor who wants to give Zheng Zhilong a knight......

I believe that once this news spreads, it will definitely make the court more lively inside and outside.

However, not to mention how lively Jinling City is, have so many people forgotten Zheng Zhilong's tossing energy?

The title of Duke of Yansheng of the Qufu Kong family was blown away by his mouth. Will he let this happen?
