"Why hasn't Gao Yingwu (Gao Jie) come yet? What is he doing all the time? ”

"What else can I do? The crown prince sent Yushi to check on him! He's trying to figure out how to deal with it! ”

"Imperial History? Who is it? ”

"King Jiyan...... Gao Yingwu is miserable this time! How much has he been greedy in Haizhou in the past two years? Two or three million are more than that! King Ji Yan must have come to the north to check on him! ”

"yes...... We are all two-sleeved breeze, and King Ji Yan can't find us when he comes! ”

"But Gao Yingwu is the general Rong, there are 20,000 people who dare to fight, and now it is the time to use the army, will the prince deal with him about corruption?"

"In the past two years, have there been fewer soldiers who have been involved in corruption and bribery? The commanders of the new army have folded by five or six...... The commanders, commanders, and adjutant generals in various places don't know how much they have fallen! ”

"Yes! And what kind of warrior is Gao Yingwu? It's all called rich and noble to grind out their fighting spirit. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to be ranked, and the new monarch has three fires on power, and the first one will have to burn him! ”

On the middle hall of the military office of the seven provinces of the governor of Qufu, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi, Huang Degong, Kong Xingxie (Kong Yinzhi's son), Li Huajing, Liu Zhaoji and others took advantage of the fact that Shi Kefa, Kong Yinzhen, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, were drinking tea and talking loudly.

What they were talking about was the matter of the Shandong Provincial Inspector Ji Kun Ji Yan who was going to take office. Contrary to Zhu Cihong's expectations, these warlords felt very good. No one thinks that Ji Kun is here to deal with them - they don't make much, Gao Jie is a big corrupt official, the manor on Yuzhou Mountain Island is gorgeous and is about to catch up with the palace, and it is said that a Shaanxi Street was built in Shangbu, Shanghai, and the houses on one street are all from the Gao family! He also built mansions in Nanjing and Wuhan, and deposited huge sums of money in the name of his wife in the Yanshang Bank.

In addition to corruption and bribery, this Gao Jie also passively avoided war, as Xu Hai's chief soldier, he did not fight a good battle with Dongyu. Last time, Shi Kefa gathered all the armies to break the Yishui camp of the Qing army, and everyone sent troops, but Gao Jie was perfunctory, and he did his best if he sent some food and gunpowder.

Now the crown prince is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, and then it must be the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains - now that the Liukou has been hit hard, Li Zicheng is likely to die! Xiangyang and Nanyang, two nests that had been entrenched by the rogue for two or three years, were also occupied by the official army. The situation in Huguang and the southwest of the Central Plains is very good.

At the same time, the anti-Qing situation in Shanxi was also quite good. The Dai Dynasty on Luliang Mountain is getting stronger and stronger, and although Datong Mansion is once again surrounded by Qing troops, the current situation is still supportable - a large number of Qing troops have also been pinned down in the Shanxi battlefield.

In addition, Li Ruolian, Su Guansheng and Shen Tingyang also made considerable progress in attacking the islands off the coast of Liaodi. At present, it has occupied Juehua Island, Zhangzi Island, Shicheng Island, Xiaochangshan Island, Wangjiashan Island, Guanglu Island, Tieshan Island, and even landed on Changsheng Island, a large island in Fuzhou Bay this summer! He put on a posture of attacking Jinzhouwei and Fuzhouwei, which caused great panic in Liaodong.

Judging from the current situation, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, most of them wanted to go on a northern expedition...... And the winning margin is quite big!

And before sending troops, it is indispensable to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!

Therefore, a general soldier like Gao Jie, who only knows how to make money and does not know how to resist the Qing Dynasty, will definitely be unlucky. The chicken that was going to be killed was him......

While everyone was talking, there was a cough from behind the screen. Gao Hongtu and Zuo Maodi glanced at each other and stood up from their chairs. Gao Hongtu also said sharply: "Stand up for the shift, His Royal Highness King Lu has come down!" ”

There are many big names here in Shandong, and even Shi Kefa, the military gate of the governor's seven provinces, is not the biggest, the biggest is Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu!

Zhu Yihai went to the court to visit the Hajj a while ago, and met the "semi-retired" Emperor Chongzhen accompanied by King Fat Fu, and also went to Xuanwu Lake and Tangshan to visit the "Summer Palace" and "Winter Palace" after Emperor Chongzhen's abdication.

Not long after, when Emperor Chongzhen became Emperor Chongzhen, his old man lived in the Xipu Palace in Nanjing in the spring and autumn, lived in the Xuanwu Lake in the summer, and went to the Hot Spring Palace in Tangshan in the winter...... And there are still a million taels of gold and silver to spend every year.

There's really nothing to say about this life...... Zhu Yihai was envious, he went back to Shandong, and after seeing Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi, he praised Prince Zhu's filial piety!

Shi Kefa and Kong Yinzhi also thought so, and the two of them accompanied Zhu Yihai to turn out from behind the screen, and after sitting separately, they told everyone the good news with each word.

"The prince is really filial!" Dazhong Liang Shi Kefa stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I took the refugees to Huguang to eat, but I didn't lose a single or two of the gold and silver for the emperor, and I also built the Xuanhu Palace and the Hot Spring Palace for the emperor, it's really filial......"

Kong Yinzhi nodded again and again, and echoed: "I also made up an integer for the emperor, and Chongzhen still has twenty years!" Twenty years of heaven, thirty-six-year-old Taishang...... The emperor is really a blessed lord! ”

"yes, yes!" Zhu Yihai said with a smile, "And the emperor's health is very good, the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, and it looks like he will live to be at least seventy-six years old...... Twenty years of the Son of Heaven, forty years of Taishang, what a blessing! ”

I don't know how Emperor Chongzhen would feel if he knew what these three "loyal friends" he had high hopes for?

But Shi Kefa, Kong Yinzhi, and Zhu Yihai are all telling the truth!

In their opinion, Chongzhen has been in power for 17 years, and he has tossed a Ming Dynasty that can still be maintained like this, and the crown prince has been in power for two and a half years, and the country's situation has improved greatly...... If Chongzhen's power is restored, it will be a misguided country and a harm to the people, and I will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.

So Emperor Chongzhen should retire as soon as possible! Retire at the age of thirty-six, enjoy the wealth of the world and the beauty of the world, what's not good? Do you have to stay on the stage and toss yourself to death?

Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has rounded up the number for Emperor Chongzhen - what a filial son? In the future, the twenty-four filial piety can add the deeds of Zhu Daxiaozi to change the twenty-five filial piety!

Huang Degong also felt very good, and he didn't know that King Ji Yan was here to check on him! was still there and echoed with a smile: "When the prince ascends the throne, he will probably go on a northern expedition to the Central Plains...... My generation is a useful place! ”

Shi Kefa touched his beard and smiled there: "Yes, that's why I invited everyone here, just to discuss how to go on the Northern Expedition!" In the past two years, the Tartars have been perverse in the Central Plains, and they have long been angry and resentful, and I believe that as soon as Wang Shi arrives, all parts of the country will respond in groups, and the Central Plains will be set in the north, just around the corner! ”

Yes, Dolgon enclosed land and set up a green flag, and he dictated the field, and did not give any preferential treatment to the scholars, and collected taxes according to one mu and four liters (this was collected by the Qing Dynasty court, and there were additional assignments in the local area), how could it not be angry and resentful?

Everyone who fled to Qufu hated it anymore...... Jinan, Qingzhou, Denglai and other places are similar, and there is no one who does not hate the landlord's old wealth!

"It is inevitable to set the Central Plains in the north, but the land of the Central Plains is ...... Return to its rightful owner! The great filial son Zuo Maodi's tone was solemn, "The Central Plains and Huguang are different!" ”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Luo Shi said is very true!" Gao Hongtu also agreed with Zuo Maodi's opinion, "In the past two years, the national crisis has been at the head, and the gentry of the Central Plains have destroyed their families and relieved the suffering, and the imperial court must not treat everyone badly!" ”

Kong Yinzhi also said: "In the past ten years, Shandong, Henan, Beizhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Liaodi have been plagued by natural and man-made disasters...... Both the gentry and the common people have already been wounded, and after recovery, they must rest with the people. Why do you have to be tax-free for 10 years? ”

Huang Degong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Yan Shenggong, if the tax exemption is ten years, what should we do with these people?" You can't let the court stick to the place upside down, right? ”

Shi Kefa smiled: "Isn't there still Guantian Juntun?" You can sell official fields and military cantonments to raise military salaries, and sell them out in ten years? ”

"This is a solution...... Huang Degong doesn't seem to be as optimistic as Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu, "but I don't know how many years it will take for this Northern Expedition to win?" ”
