In the mourning shed, Li Zicheng, under the guidance of the salute officer, offered incense to the spiritual seat of Chongzhen and his wife with the emperor's gift. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I came from sharing the world with your father. Why didn't your father go south? When I entered Beijing, I passed through Chengtianmen and shot it with an arrow, which was in the middle of the plaque. When Mr. Song was understanding, he once said that it meant to divide the world. Why did your father disobey the will of heaven? ”

After offering incense to Chongzhen and his wife, Li Zicheng warmly expressed his condolences to Zhu Cihong.

Sun Chuanting, who was on the side, still had a face like water, so he just pulled Zhu Cihong and asked him who the dozens of spiritual seats that accompanied him on both sides of the spiritual seats of his parents and aunt were who they were.

Zhu Cihong had tears in his eyes, and he didn't have time to explain, but Li Yan, who was standing next to Li Zicheng, took over the topic: "Mr. Bai Gu doesn't know, these dozens are righteous warriors and martyrs who were ordered by His Majesty to carefully investigate and follow Chongzhen's son of heaven when the heavenly soldiers entered the city. The deeds of all the people have been ordered to be visited one by one, and the appendix of the history book is prepared to be passed on in the future, so as to commend them for future generations. ”

The names of Wang Chengen, Gong Yonggu, Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu and others all came into Sun Chuanting's eyes. The rest of the names, some he is familiar with, some he doesn't know, just heard of it, some of the names have not been heard at all, looking at the location and specifications of the tablet, it should probably be the family slaves and maids of these ministers and nobles who followed Chongzhen's martyrdom.

Because Wang Changshun, who had made great achievements in the battle of Zhugang Hutong and preventing Chongzhen from going out of the city, as an officer who had recently been promoted to the imperial camp, followed Li Qiang behind Li Zicheng and others, watching Sun Chuanting bow down to Wang Chengen and others in a straight manner, and asked his immediate boss Li Qiang in a low voice with half disdain and half puzzlement: "When the subordinates fought a bloody battle with the new army in Chaoyangmen, who usually only had a full mouthful of food, the soldiers fought so hard that even their subordinates were almost loyal to the emperor. At that time, where did all these high-ranking officials and Houlu people go on weekdays? If there are more than 100 people to help one or two, the subordinates will definitely not be able to stop Chongzhen's escape! This group of false Taoist hypocrites came to the emperor at this time to pretend to say that they obeyed the mandate of heaven, but in fact, from the perspective of their subordinates, the mandate of heaven is bullshit! If there is a Mandate of Heaven, it is also the Mandate of Heaven where one silver dollar defeats half a silver dollar. ”

Although Wang Changshun's voice was not loud, it made the people in the spirit shed hear it clearly. Sun Chuanting and the others were fine, but Li Qiang clearly saw that the expression on Song Xiance's face suddenly changed, which suddenly made his heart feel cold, "The holy driver is here, what are you talking nonsense here?" Go outside! ”

The conversation between Li Qiang and Wang Changshun was heard clearly by Sun Chuanting. couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face, "Am I really not as good as those eunuchs with incomplete limbs?" He bowed a few times in front of Wang Chengen's spiritual throne, expressing his admiration and respect for the great eunuch who was martyred.

Li Yan and Li Zicheng exchanged glances, and after getting Li Zicheng's permission, he took a half step forward and stood behind Sun Chuanting, explaining to him the stories behind the tablets in front of him.

"Fan Jingwen, a scholar and secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, sighed when our army entered the city: 'As a minister, you can't make a lot of achievements from the field, although you die!' At this time, he had not eaten for three days, and his voice could not continue, so he let his family support him, knelt three times and bowed nine times in the direction of the Forbidden City, and wrote two poems, and then hanged himself, and his concubine also passed by himself. ”

"Ni Yuanlu, who is also a scholar in the household department, heard the voice of our army's elite riding on the street to convey the emperor's holy message, and sighed: 'The country is here, and the ministers have more responsibility to die.'" He tidied up his clothes and bowed to him, thanking the Son of Heaven in the north and thanking his mother in the south. He also instructed his family to say, 'If you want to be buried immediately, you will be buried in a big way, and then you will collect my body.' 'He was hanged, and afterwards his family was full of martyrdom, and there were three out of ten people. When the emperor heard this, he was also amazed, so he listed the list of martyrs of his family to accompany the sacrifice here. Ordered the division to collect his home. ”

"When Shi Bangyao, the deputy capital of the left, heard that my heavenly soldiers had entered the city, he wept loudly, and the inscription was on several points: 'It is difficult to make a half-plan, but there is a small body to repay the grace of the Lord.'" Then he hanged himself. ”。

"Dali Temple Qing Ling Yiqu burned all the books written and commented on his life, served the scarlet Zhengwat Wangque worship, Funan to pay homage, and wrote a suicide note to his father, saying: 'Loyalty is so filial piety, can die without dishonoring the father.'" Touched the pillar, bled and broke his face and died. ”

"Reading the books of the sages in your life and cultivating righteousness in your chest should naturally be like this. Sure enough, it's a scholar! Sun Chuanting's words of praise and praise never landed, and a series of slaps in the face burst out of Li Yan's mouth one after another.

"That night, Jinyi Wei commanded Wang Guoxing to hang himself."

"Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Li Ruoqi to guard the Chongwen Gate, the city fell, and made a desperate word: 'Die! That is, today's thing, woe! Why bother posterity to know. 'Hang yourself. ”

"Jinyi Wei Qianhu Gao Wencai guarded the Xuanwu Gate, the city fell, and the seventeen members of the family committed suicide."

"Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, heard that my heavenly soldiers broke through the inner city, and sighed: 'As a minister, I am not disgraced, and I must share the difficulties with the country.'" and his younger brother Liu Wenyao, the governor of the left, chose a big well, and his children and grandchildren, men and women and their sisters 16 people, all cast into it. Grandmother Mrs. Yingguo, grandmother outside Chongzhen, more than 90 years old, also died in a well. ”

"Gong Yonggu, the governor of the horses, heard that the heavenly soldiers broke through the inner city, killed his beloved horses, burned his bows and swords, and said on the wall: 'The world is blessed by the country, and the body cannot be humiliated.'" Princess Shi Le'an died first, and she was ordered to raise a fire to give the first, the fire burned, and the five children were burned to death. ”

Didn't you say that the style of a scholar is excellent? These people are all factory guard eagle dogs and noble people who are quite despised in the eyes of scholars, and there are far more people who have died in the Ming Dynasty than scholars. In addition to a few Shangshu, the people who were martyred by civil officials were a few minor officials.

When the Dashun army attacked the city, Kim Hyun, a member of the military department's car driving division, knelt in front of his mother Zhang and said: "My son was favored by the country and served as a car driver. The city is broken, and righteousness is bound to die. If you have a secluded place, you can hide your mother and be lucky. The mother said, "You are favored by the country, but I am not favored by the country?" It's urgent, and the well is where I died. Kim Hyun wept, quit his mother and went to see things, and when he arrived at the Yuhe Bridge, he heard that the inner city had fallen, and Kim Hyun looked at the apartment and bowed again, that is, he threw himself into the Yuhe. His mother Zhang also died in the well, and his concubine Wang also died. His brother Zhusheng Jin Jin cried out: "If my mother dies, I will die." However, the mother did not return to the land, and she did not dare to die. "Take the coffin and bury his mother, and throw himself into the well and die.

"Zuo Zhongyun Liu Lishun, Wuqi County Champion Lang also! Hearing that our army entered the inner city, the inscription was written on the wall and said: 'Chengren takes righteousness, Confucius and Meng preached. Wen Xin practiced, why don't I. Then he committed suicide by drinking, and his wife Wan, his concubine Li, his son Xiaolian, and eighteen servants were hanged behind closed doors."

Li Yan pointed out dozens of tablets one by one for Sun Chuanting, and when he said this, he stopped abruptly. However, Sun Chuanting, who was moved by the tragic martyrdom of these more than 20 loyal martyrs who were loyal to the country and did not care about the two masters, was a little confused.

"How can Mr. Lin Quan not say anything? Could it be that there are thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, but only these 20 people have been martyred? ”

The play meat is coming!

Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces. If you want Sun Chuanting to become a major minister under Li Zicheng, you must let him know that the Ming Dynasty is exhausted!

"Not bad! The rest of them have all rushed to my Dashun Yongchang Heavenly Son Hall to be hired! ”

Song Xiance is worthy of being a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his grasp of people's psychological rhythm has reached the point of perfection. Immediately waved his hand, signaling the imperial soldiers standing at the door of the mourning shed to lift the curtain so that Sun Chuanting could see it more clearly.

Outside the spiritual shed, along the road outside the Donghua Gate, the black pressure is full of clothes and beasts dressed in various official uniforms, and the chest is full of birds and beasts.

Among these people, it can be said that they are equipped with echelons and complete grades, covering all parts of the entire Ming bureaucratic system. There are not only cabinet ministers such as scholar Chen Yan and scholar Wei Zaode, but also noble ministers such as Zhou Kui, the national abbot. There are also six ministry officials, Dali Siqing, and ministers and officials at all levels in various sections. There are also Wei Yunwen, Yang Changzuo, Lin Zengzhi and other ministers of the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian. If Li Zicheng is willing to accept them, the Dashun Imperial Court will be even the situation of the sages and the people!

In particular, Wei Zaode, Chen Yan and other scholars are full of self-confidence, with their identity and prestige as cabinet ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and they are also university scholars, familiar with the operation of central government affairs, and they are all full of wealth, and they will definitely be used by the new dynasty, and they will be ranked above the court in the gold and purple robes.

And on the issue of blocking Chongzhen's southward movement, the military department gave an impassioned and tearful statement, and Guang Shiheng also stood in the team calmly. On that day, he tried his best to prevent the southward migration, and even blocked the car on the long street when Chongzhen secretly left, claiming that if the emperor insisted on touring the south, he should be sentenced to death. It is said that the king should die in the community, but after the city was broken, Chongzhen was really the king in the dead society, but he was bright when Hengdang even put up an incense case at the door of his house to welcome the new monarch into the city.

So what, it will fall, and he will not be the only one who will descend anyway. As Song Xiance said, there are two or three thousand officials in Beijing of the Ming court, and their heads are really squeezed by the door, and there are only more than 20 people who followed Chongzhen to be martyred for the Ming Dynasty, which is not as many as the palace maids and eunuchs who died in the palace. With his Guang Shiheng, a handsome man who knows the current affairs like this, of course, he must serve the new monarch, continue to make generous statements, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Open Fangrui for the maid, okay, this sentence is redundant, just don't care about it. Putting this sentence at the end shows that it is insignificant.

What's more, he still has the merit of preventing Chongzhen from fleeing the capital south?

The important thing is that he prevented the tyrant from going south to poison the people of Jiangnan, which was a great contribution he made for the Dashun court. The corpse of Emperor Chongzhen was used to make his name, and this great merit was enough to serve as his advancement.

"I'm a Ming official, all here?" Sun Chuanting looked at the team of officials who couldn't see the end at a glance with unbelievable eyes, and muttered to himself in a dry and hoarse voice.

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong raised the mourning stick in his hand, pointed at the well-dressed beasts not far away with the tip of the stick, and replied in a sad and angry voice: "The pillars of the country in the past are all here. ”

Sun Chengzong didn't have a strong reaction, just nodded silently, "This is the work of my Ming Dynasty cultivator for three hundred years!" ”

When the Dashun army occupied Beijing, not only the people welcomed it, but only 20 of the 2,000 or 3,000 officials of the Ming court in Beijing committed suicide, and the others were "well-dressed and defective." Chen Fang Cetang, the supervisor of the country, said: "My civil and military officials and scholars are subordinate to those who are vassal, and they are called thieves as the teachers of kings, and they are all unified. Shi Kefa said bitterly in the recital: "There are very few people who die in the northern ministers, and there are few people who beg for thieves in the southern ministers, which is an unprecedented shame for thousands of years!" ”

These more than 20 martyrs undoubtedly highlight the Ming Dynasty, the last and strongest, most advanced, greatest and most powerful dynasty of the Han people, the emperor who guarded the country, the emperor died, the son of heaven, the diligent government, the gentry, and the people!

Ming Dynasty officials in Beijing rushed to the Dashun government to sign up for employment, such as Shaozhan Zhiyu "said to the public: the name of the husband is not complete, and he should be famous for his fame such as Guan Zhong and Wei Zhengke." To Shi Min in the matter, he claimed: "The world will be unified!" When he rushed to sign up, the door of the government was closed, and he was in a hurry, knocking on the door and shouting: "My soldier is Shi Minye!" "I was able to put it in. When Liu Tingzhi met with the court, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing said: "The old man must be white." Liu hurriedly argued: "If the Taishi uses me, he must naturally turn black, and he is not old." "Barely hired.

The chief university scholar Wei Zaode was imprisoned in a small room, and he said to people through the window: "If you want to use me, you can use it as you want, what is the solution of locking?" ”

In July 1644, Liu Zeqing wrote in a letter to Wu Sangui: "Looking around on three sides, who has not surrendered to thieves? A controversy in August of the following year before the Qing regent Dolgon also reflected the situation. Gong Dingyu and others accused Feng Quan, a scholar of the Inner Court, of being a eunuch in the Ming Dynasty; Feng Quan ridiculed each other, saying that Gong Dingyu had surrendered to "Li Thief, but he was the imperial history of Beicheng". Dolgon asked if this was true? Gong said, "Real." Is there not only one person who has not been submitted? Wei Zheng also returned to Tang Taizong. Gong Dingyu was anxious to say anything, like Xiang Yu, compared Li Zicheng to Tang Taizong, although he was reprimanded by Dolgon, but it was a true portrayal of the vast majority of Ming court officials after the Dashun army entered Beijing.

Ah, this great dynasty, this great civilization, how can I not miss it. She has a thousand kinds of shortcomings, such and such shortcomings, but the flickering light still makes people unable to do it themselves. This dynasty is so heartbreaking, regretful, and longing. In the great Ming Dynasty, the mathematics, astronomy, astrology, navigation, agriculture, all kinds of strange skills, relaxed human environment, and loose laws of the Mongol Tatars were all abolished one by one, and replaced by the prohibition of arithmetic, the study of astronomy, the navigation of reference objects, all kinds of sea bans, strict laws and class solidification.

She is so elegant, gorgeous clothes, elegant etiquette, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no more, elegant and pure Han culture has been cut off. So much so that the Japanese people sighed: Those who get one volume of the book of the Qing people are better than the hundred volumes of the book of the Ming people.

There are so many of her loyal ministers and righteous people, there are more than 20 martyred officials in Jiashen Kingdom, and the tragedy of martyrdom is unprecedented, and there will be no more people who are martyred on such a large scale in the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more. Such a tragic martyrdom and so many martyrdom officials were enough to wipe out more than 2,000 officials who surrendered to the thieves.

She is so tenacious, awe-inspiring, heroic martyrdom, and calmly righteous, even after the death of the country, she has resisted for so long and resisted so fiercely. More than 2,000 people surrendered to the ministers of civil and military affairs who held the state's salaries, and the Great Ming Army, which held the country's military salary, turned into Qing soldiers, helping the Qing Empire to bravely hunt down all kinds of rogues and remnants of the Ming Dynasty. A large number of thieves and rogues who were regarded by officials and gentry at all levels as "not starving for peace and security, but following the praying mantis", picked up swords and guns to resist the development of the historical trend desperately. When countless Ming officials were in front of the elders of the Five Dynasties, these damn thieves and rogues became thieves of the Five Dynasties one after another. When countless scholars had participated in countless imperial examinations in the Qing court, the descendants of the Li Zicheng family, who had been scolded by them for thousands of years, committed suicide by raising fire in Maolu Mountain. Li Dingguo would rather die in the wilderness than surrender.

Ah, Daming! I will always remember her. How brilliant and unforgettable her civilization is.

I will not hinder these people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and I will respect their choice. We should praise those who know the times a hundred times more than the number of people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and we should praise them for their courage in choosing trees and perching in accordance with the heavens.

All I can do is miss them, and therefore remember them.

Long live the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty through the ages, the Ming Dynasty will last forever! Only the Ming Dynasty is the hope of the Chinese nation, the backbone of the Chinese nation, and the destination of all the elites of the Chinese nation!

Therefore, the elites who have inherited the essence of the Chinese national culture will resolutely take on the heavy responsibility of the main force when the nation is in danger of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! From 1939 to 1945, at least 99 **** senior generals led the formed troops, and up to 2.1 million people joined the peace movement camp advocated by Vice President Wang, becoming the mainstay of the War of Resistance! Among these people, there are not only miscellaneous troops, but also troops from the Central Army and the Loyal National Salvation Army system. These elites and heroes set a record. China was the only country that outnumbered the invading army in World War II.

After joining the peace movement, the general Fang fled back to Chongqing when he saw that the situation was not good, and when the principal saw him, instead of punishing him, he praised him, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Sun Chuanting, who had been expressionless for a long time, suddenly faced Chongzhen's coffin and roared: "Your Majesty, open your eyes and see what the pillars of your country are." With this roar, Sun Chuanting was like he had unlocked some seal, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore.

He pointed to the surrendered official and roared at Chongzhen's spiritual position: "Look, that is your father-in-law, I think back then, you asked him to borrow 10,000 taels of silver, but not only did he borrow it, but he even withheld half of his daughter's money." Now that you are dead, not only does he not even have a tear, but he is here now because Li Zicheng is here, and he wants to accompany him. And I guess he is still lamenting that his daughter is not young and beautiful, otherwise he can send a few more to Li Zicheng as a concubine, so that he can continue to be prosperous and rich. ”

After speaking, he pointed to another official and said: "There is also this person, when Liang Guogong's 400,000 army wanted to go north to King Qin, he tried his best to stop it, saying that as soon as Liang Guogong arrived, the country would inevitably be lost, and the world would change his surname to Li." Don't say it, he is really right, in this world, he will not change his surname to Li, but the person who changed his surname is not Li Shouhan, but Li Zicheng. ”

Sun Chuanting's angry scolding naturally attracted a lot of hatred, and Shiheng couldn't help it, he said sharply: "Bold, Sun Baigu, you are working hard for the tyrant Zhu Youzhen and resisting Wang Shi, this is aiding and abetting." Now Your Majesty not only does not remember the old evils, but also thinks that you are an eagle and a dog, and you can be used, but also recruits you, makes you an official, and lets you serve the new dynasty. But you are unforgivable for the tyrant. ”

Sun Chuanting faced Guang Shiheng's accusation, sneered and said, "Who should I be, it turned out to be the Lu beetle who trapped my tens of thousands of troops." On that day, I guarded Tongguan and implemented a new policy, and the eldest son of Liang Guogong Li Ma and soldiers entered Henan in the west. It was you, scolding me for being afraid of thieves, sitting back and watching Henan fall into thieves, forcing me to move eastward, and finally the whole army was wiped out in Lingbao and Shaanxi County. And when I entered Beijing to ask for sin, it was you again, saying that I underestimated the enemy and lost my army and land. I don't care about any of this, at most I've offended the villain. But when Li Zicheng entered Gyeonggi, why did you stop the first emperor's southern tour? You obviously know that as long as the first emperor can tour the south of the Yangtze River and make peace with the Liang State Guild, it will be a dragon into the sea and can spread clouds and rain. Okay, I can also count you as confused, so when the first emperor broke through, where were you? The Beijing camp that you usually insult and insult the sons of the gentlemen fought to the death, and the new army of internal exercises, which you usually call a gelding, rushed desperately and almost all of them were killed. Okay, even if you have no power to restrain the chicken and can't do rough things, then after eating the first emperor for so many years, don't you even dare to scold the thief in front of the first emperor's spirit? Or are you simply a heavenly eunuch dog, and you can't even bark wildly. ”

"And you! You rats who eat in vain! ”

Sun Chuanting had to use his halberd and pointed his finger at his former colleagues. He cursed in his mouth.

Inside the Wuying Palace, the lights are flickering.

Li Zicheng sat in his seat, his eyes looking at the high-level civil and military officials and confidants of Dashun in front of him. During the day, in order to recruit Sun Chuanting, he made a move, but Sun Lao Xian'er scolded thousands of ministers, which made the whole scene quite embarrassing and had to end.

ordered someone to take care of Sun Chuanting's good life, and Li Zicheng convened his subordinates to discuss the matter. The current situation is complicated, although it has entered the capital, but the world is not a situation that can be determined.

Not to mention anything else, Tongzhou, which is close to the capital, has just been taken, although a lot of grain, rice, and boats have been captured, but with the daily consumption of the big city of Beijing, if the supply of grain and grass cannot be guaranteed safely, not to mention that the market is unstable, even the military rations are not easy to raise.

However, Tianjin in the east is also a red-hot gold ingot, which is burned in his hand, and he is reluctant to throw it out. Here, not to mention the wealth and dense population, it is also the place where the Nancao sea is connected and transshiped, and only by taking this place can we discuss grain and rice matters with the lord in the south.

Although the seizures have been extremely rich since the eastward expedition, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Yan and others, who have been fighting in the north and south for many years, know very well that even if they have 100 million taels of silver in their hands, they are not as stable as 100 million catties of grain in these famine years.

"This matter should also be handled by General Gao and General Ziyi." Although Niu Jinxing is not the prime minister of Dashun at the moment, he is extremely strong in the people and ministers of Yin and Yang. He called Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi in his mouth, stroked his unusually well-groomed beard in his hand, and looked at Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi with a smile in his eyes.

These two people are the representatives of the camp and Long prevailing all along.

However, the negotiations between Tongzhou and Long Shengxing broke up unhappily, and the retreat of the Beijing camp outside Chaoyang Gate was inextricably linked with Long Shengxing. You Niu Jinxing asked Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi to negotiate with Long Shengxing to solve the food supply problem at this time, isn't this a clear way to dig a pit to force Gao Wu and the others to jump inside?

Wu Ruyi is okay, Gao Yigong is an old minister of Dashun, and he is the identity of the uncle, so he naturally will not put Niu Jinxing in his eyes: "If you thought of the difficulties at this time, why didn't you leave a trace of room that day?" Until now, but let Benguan and Xiao Wu embarrass them? ”

"But this time and that time!" Song Xiance also spoke on the side. "When General Gao and General Xiao Wu went to Tongzhou Bali Bridge to negotiate with the merchants of Nanzhong, our army's encirclement of Beijing had not yet been completed, so it was natural to contact him with the snake." After a slight pause, Song Xiance said again: "Now that Your Majesty has arrived in Beijing, the weather is in the middle of winter, if you can't ensure military and civilian food, how can you show the atmosphere of the new dynasty?" How to make the world feel at ease? ”

Song Xiance said this very realistically. Now that the weather is cold, and Li Zicheng's Dashun army has just entered Beijing, if there are poor people freezing and starving to death every day because of problems in the supply of daily necessities such as food and coal, Dashun's face must not look good. How to appease the people of the world?

Song Xiance has already approached the Nanzhong side to fundamentally solve the problem of Beijing's supply of living materials to a political level, which naturally made everyone present invisibly increase the importance of this matter. Li Yan, who is the prime minister of Dashun, also expressed his opinion from the seat: "At present, it is not only a matter of winter, but spring is about to begin, and after the beginning of spring, there will be a spring famine." You can't send a holy decree of appeasement to all places while starving all over the land and wandering people for thousands of miles, right? ”

"Lin Quan, you are our great steward, you just have to say what to do about this matter." Liu Zongmin rubbed his forehead, he had a headache from these things, it was really more troublesome than going into battle.

"Mencius Yun, the great and the holy one. Lao Tzu is cloudy, the sky does not change, and the Tao does not change. The words of the sages are to put it mildly, that is, the sky has changed, and the Tao must also change. It has to change with the changes in the general environment. Now that the heavens and the earth are newly opened, our ways will also change. This is the same as fighting on the battlefield, the enemy changes and I change. ”

"Or Lin Quan is a university questioner! I understood it all at once! I didn't understand what you said just now, but I can clearly understand the following words, if it changes today, our Tao will also change! Liu Zongmin grinned, his eyes looked at Gao Yigong, "Yigong, how about you and Xiao Wu work hard again, how about going to Tianjin?" ”

"Ruhou, General Gao and General Xiao Wu went to Tianjin, but it was not as simple as a walk. From the official's point of view, although this matter is said to be a matter of discussing the supply of grain and grass materials. However, it is different from previous negotiations with Nanchu businessmen. ”

Li Yan slowly said his analysis for everyone.

In his opinion, at this time, he went to negotiate with the merchants of Nanzhong on the supply of food and other daily necessities to the Jingshi, to a certain extent, to ask the Nanyue Army to recognize the Dashun court as the central government. This is different from the two families when they attacked Jingshi before, at that time, they were worried that Chongzhen would flee south, and with the help of the strength of the Nanyue Army and the manpower, material and financial resources of Jiangnan, they would compete with the Dashun Army. But now that Chongzhen is dead, the crown prince was sacrificed by his ministers and named the king of Song. Then, the next step is to appease the remnants of the Ming army in various places and collect all the prefectures and counties in the world.

However, Tianjin at this time, like Tongzhou at the beginning, was a big nail in front of the Dashun court, and no matter what means were adopted and what form was used, this nail must be removed.

"Everyone knows that Tianjin is not only the transshipment place of Nancao shipping, but also the location of the guard and governor yamen set up by the Ming court. There is also the existence of Tianjin Business Zone, a country within a country. There is a large wealth and population, if it can't be owned by my Dashun, but instead echoes with the Guanning Military Department of the Ming Army in the direction of Shanhaiguan, then it is tantamount to someone holding a sharp knife next to our couch, making it difficult for us to sleep. ”

Therefore, in order for everyone to be able to plan the great plan of Dashun and pacify the world in Beijing safely and steadily, the big nail of Tianjin must be removed.

However, whether to pull it out by force, or turn the nail around and become a spike on its own mace, it depends on the means of Dashun civil and military!

However, if the remnants of the Jingying army entrenched in Tianjin were to be driven away and the trade area there was to be taken for their own use, if they wanted to achieve this goal, the Dashun civil and military officers were very annoyed to find that there was a big problem that could not be avoided no matter what.

"How will I deal with the Nanyue Army?"

Fighting, of course, is simple and neat, but once the artillery fire is fired, the situation becomes difficult to clean up. Not to mention anything else, if the supply of all kinds of materials in Nanzhong is cut off, the situation in Dashun will immediately present a very embarrassing situation. Food, weapons, armor, equipment, gunpowder, medicines, cloth, which ones were not purchased in large quantities?

"As soon as I succeeded, these **** and Xiao Wu prepared to go to Tianjin to appease the former Ming officials and generals there. Tell them that as long as they are willing to serve my Dashun, civil officials will be hired only by measure, and military attaches will still lead troops. ”

"As for the business zone built by the merchants of Nanzhong, after the Tianjin officials are submitted, they may as well be slowly plotted. However, in the meantime, don't harass them, lest you startle them. ”

Li Zicheng's words set a tone for how Dashun would deal with the affairs of the Nanyue Army and the merchants of Nanzhong, first recruiting the local officials in Tianjin and cutting off their contact with the Ming army in Liaodong. The so-called skin does not have hair and will be attached, and the whole Tianjin has become Dashun, and what can be done with a business district that is just a projectile land?

Everyone present nodded yes.

In order to make up for the current situation of many affairs and serious shortage of manpower, Niu Jinxing suggested that the recruitment of former Ming officials in the capital should be accelerated as soon as possible, on the grounds that they were familiar with government affairs. Li Yan also agreed, but he suggested to Li Zicheng that the matter should be handed over to Wu Xing, who was currently handling the rear affairs of the Dashun Army in Shanxi.

In this regard, Li Zicheng also nodded in agreement. So, a will to summon Wu Xing to Beijing to do business Pegasus left the capital and went to Shanxi.

Gao Yigong and Wu Ruyi did not mention the matter of planning to appease the military and civilian officials in Tianjin, Niu Jinxing did not do what he wanted, and he had to grit his teeth in his stomach and work hard.

Only Li Shuangxi and Luo Hu were left in the Wuying Palace.

"Now that we have entered the city of Beijing, and you two little ones are also lords, I should also marry you a wife, so that you can give me a few grandchildren." The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very tender and harmonious with Li Zicheng's kind and kind words.

"Father, the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law naturally depends on you and the queen mother. However, Mr. Fang Cainiu said that he would hire the former Ming official as soon as possible, and his son felt that it was quite inappropriate. Luo Hu looked at the sky outside the hall that was getting darker, and only a silhouette could barely be seen from the erosion of the towers and palaces, and the eunuchs and imperial officers and soldiers in the palace began to turn on the lights everywhere.

"What this generation did when our army entered the city, my father and emperor saw it in their eyes, this generation was promoted by Chongzhen, ate the old Zhu family's money, and was supported by the old Zhu family, but when the old Zhu family had something, they were this virtue. Father, do you think that if they betray their old master so much, they can be loyal to our great shun? ”

"Of course I do! That's why I want to recruit Sun Chuanting! is also allowed to Sun Chuanting to insult this generation in every way! Li Zicheng's eyes shot a disdainful light.

However, the high-level officials of the Dashun Imperial Court, whether it is Yongchang Tianzi or Prime Minister Li Yan, the chief Liu Zongmin, the military advisor Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, never dreamed that these people may not be loyal, let alone help, but they are a good hand at helping to cause chaos.

Dashun has been in control of Beijing for seven days, and the murder, robbery, and arson have gradually subsided, although there are no professional police like Nanzhong, but the long-tested Shun army elite soldiers have carried out similar tasks. Moreover, in order to curry favor with the new regime, Beijing's official gentry were also rare to be industrious and virtuous, and consciously hired people to clean the streets around them, so for a time, Beijing, the ancient historical capital, rarely became neat and orderly.

In the face of the neat and clean new Beijing, the crowd above the petty bourgeoisie will naturally not be willing to be lonely, they or three or five people enjoy the snow and chant poetry, or seven or eight people linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. Zhou Zhong is naturally no exception, he made an appointment with a few friends to enjoy Mei Yin's poems and talk about major events in the world.

Zhou Zhong can now be said to be red and purple in Beijing. Li Zicheng's think tank Niu Jinxing also admired his name deeply, when Wei Zaode and a group of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty sharpened their heads and wanted to mix up a half-official position in Li Zicheng's new regime, Niu Jinxing took the initiative to recommend Zhou Zhong to Li Zicheng. In order to create public opinion for the new regime, Niu Jinxing ordered Zhou Zhong to write two articles, one of which was to give Li Zicheng a persuasion table. In order to thank Niu Jinxing for his introduction, Zhou Zhong deliberately voted for his protégé post and worshiped under Niu Jinxing.

It is precisely because of these relationships that in the eyes of these former Ming officials, Zhou Zhong is already a dignitary of the new dynasty, and he will soon rise to prominence, so there are endless compliments.

However, there is a rule, if there are too many compliments, some people will say something unpleasant, and only one of them will say: "Brother Zhou, have you read the recent Shuntian Times, these southern barbarians are bold enough, and openly said in the newspaper that they broke into Beijing and rebelled, and those who dared to fight, only the Beijing battalion and the new army were inside." Especially the new army of internal exercises, the battle of Zhupole Hutong, can be called the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, and can be a model for heroes in the world. This kind of rebellious writing was openly seen in the newspapers, and some people in other pages echoed it. In addition, the death of the faint monarch Chongzhen was originally a happy thing, we all celebrated with wine, only the Nanban merchants all wore filial piety in white cloth and mourned for three days. Brother Zhou can't ignore this kind of thing. ”

Zhou Zhong was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and he said suspiciously: "Dusk Jun Chongzhen has been cut off from the world, what good can it do to mourn him?" It's understandable to say a few words to those geldings, because they have colluded with customs affairs before. It should be a tragic act of the rabbit and the fox, as for the matter of hanging filial piety for the faint king, it should not be just a few people doing it at will, right? ”

The man hurriedly said: "Brother Zhou, it's definitely not a few people doing it randomly, I've taken a turn in the past few days, and all the shops I can see are like this." In the face of his friend's conclusive words, Zhou Zhong also had to believe it, he thought for a while, and said with a little hesitation: "Although this matter is a big rebellion, Your Majesty has a clear order, the officers and generals must strictly abide by discipline, and they must not be unreasonable to the shops of the Southern Barbarians." Therefore, although I want to share the worries of my father and punish those who do not know how to advance or retreat, I have no means. “

Listening to Zhou Zhong's words, the others let out a burst of laughter, and one of them said: "Brother Zhou, if you don't tell lies in front of people who understand, we will still lack the means to be the children of saints?" Brother, do you remember Yao Jiang and Huang Xiaozi? Let's just learn from him. Don't hide it from you, brother, a few of us have already discussed, found dozens of righteous people, and established the Zhongshun Society, but all the shops of the southern barbarians who dare to give Chongzhen filial piety will be smashed. As for the Shuntian Times, we can't let it go, and we have to go in person. Burn the many heresies in it one by one, so as to eliminate the hatred in our hearts! ”

Zhou Zhongdao: "This 。。。。。。 It's not good, we are all scholars, how can we be hooligans in the market for this, or it is better to be the first to salute and then the soldiers. ”

The man sneered and said, "Brother Zhou, at this time, what kind of gentlemanly demeanor do you talk about when you are inferior to such a dog, besides, doesn't the ancient gentleman also eat meat and sleep skin for the enemy?" Over the years, the newspapers of the Southern Barbarians and us have been better than the revenge of killing our fathers. Since the opening of the Jiangnan Times, the quotation is cheap and there is no limit to writing, not to mention the Ma Shiying who bought the case for Qin Shi Huang, even the peddlers and pawns have made a lot of nonsense, openly scolding us for being called Shizi, but we are actually lice, we can only parasitize and drink blood, and we cannot seek any profit for the world. Such insulting words are frequently seen in the Shuntian Times, if there is no connivance of the Southern Barbarians, how can it be so? Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, we are not smashing the newspaper for ourselves, we are fighting for the world's readers. ”

Zhou Zhong bowed his head and was silent when he heard this, and only said after a while: "The so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, after all, this kind of thing is not glorious, we can just watch it from afar." When the crowd heard this, they rejoiced, and a brutality against the merchants of Nanzhong began.

Soon, smoke and fire broke out again in the city of Beijing, and newspapers such as Jiangnan Times and Shuntian Times were smashed, men were beaten, and 100 shops selling Nanzhong goods were also generally smashed. The green-skinned thugs in the capital took the opportunity to smash open the business and loot the valuable goods that had been coveted for a long time and coveted in the past. Of course, the merchants of Nanzhong were not easy to get along with, but it was a pity that it was difficult for a single shop to fight against a mob of tens or hundreds, so they quickly chose to unite.

Under the auspices of the Nanzhong Trading Company, most of the merchants chose to live in Dongjiang Mixiang, and at the same time concentrated the weapons in their hands, and the young men who had received military training in each business established a joint defense team, and built a barricade at the mouth of the alley as a defensive facility. At the same time, he sent people out of the city to Tianjin to deliver a letter for help.

Without the source of goods from Nanzhong merchants, for a while, the prices of Beijing, which had just been occupied by Dashun, suddenly turned over and rose, and the people in the city were panicked, for fear that a big war would start again. In this case, Dashun naturally can't sit idly by, but one side is the Nanzhong businessman who is very important to Dashun, and the other side is the gentleman that Dashun needs to collect, and no one can easily kill anyone.

Therefore, Li Zicheng, the son of Dashun, thought twice and decided to let Niu Jinxing come forward to persuade peace, and the newspaper was temporarily suspended, and Dashun doubled the compensation for the losses of Nanzhong businessmen. For those who make trouble, all the officials will be educated, and the market hooligans will be punished in a canonical manner. At the same time, Liu Zongmin also ordered more troops and horses to be sent to the city, increase the patrol density, and meet those who make trouble on the streets, rob and harass the people, regardless of the military and civilians, all of them will be punished on the spot!

After the order was given, the atmosphere quickly eased, but unfortunately, as Murphy's Law says, bad things are always one after another.

Just when the Nanzhong merchants in Beijing had just been stabilized, something happened in Tianjin. Hearing that something like this had happened in Beijing, Li Peiting suddenly jumped up.

"God help me! It's time for the Lord's luck to arrive! ”
