In April of the first year of Hongguang, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall in Nanjing, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor wearing a dragon robe, was sullen. The officials from all walks of life of His Royal Highness thought that it was caused by the defeat, so they were silent. In fact, since Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne, it has rarely been seen that this emperor is happy, and he can occasionally go to the court, which is good.

"If there is anything to play, if not, I will retreat."

Zhu Yousong was the son of Zhu Changxun, the royal family of the late Ming Dynasty, and later inherited the title of King Fu after Zhu Changxun's death. Zhu Yousong and Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Sizong are cousins, and it stands to reason that it will not be Zhu Yousong's turn to be the emperor. But there are always accidents, and Zhu Yousong, the emperor, is that accident.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the sons of Emperor Chongzhen were supposed to inherit the throne, but the sons of Emperor Chongzhen were in exile at that time and could not be found, and the widows of the Ming Dynasty felt that the country could not be without a monarch for a day, and they needed to choose a new emperor as soon as possible to command the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

For this 'pie' that fell from the sky, Emperor Hongguang did not cherish it, he was still dreaming that the Qing soldiers would help him destroy the peasant army and return his Ming Dynasty.

"The military department is still in the history of the law, and I want to see him."

"Shi Kefa, it's this Shi Kefa again, why is he always endless? Declare him up. ”

Emperor Hongguang did not like Shi Kefa, although Shi Kefa was one of the ministers who put him on the throne. However, after all, he is a member of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party has always been a dissident that Emperor Hongguang wants to exclude. Therefore, although Emperor Hongguang ostensibly gave Shi Kefa the title of scholar of Dongge University and secretary of the military department, in fact, Emperor Hongguang used Ma Shiying, the first auxiliary minister, to take charge of the affairs of the military department.

"Shi Aiqing has something to do."

"Report to the emperor, according to the report of the spies, the Qing soldiers under the leadership of Duo Ze have the intention of attacking our dynasty in the south, please send troops immediately and take precautions as soon as possible."

"Shi Aiqing, you are really worried too much. It is too late for the Qing soldiers to fight against the remnants of the thieves, where is there still the energy to divide the troops to attack our dynasty. ”

Before Hongguang could speak, Ma Shiying, the first assistant standing next to him, had already stood up, he was now a celebrity around the emperor, and what he was most worried about was to let a Donglin party like Shi Kefa sit in real power.

"Ma Shiying, what do you eunuchs know?" As an auxiliary minister, the last thing Shi Kefa wants to see is eunuchs participating in politics.

"Why should the two Aiqing quarrel over a trivial matter?" Hongguang saw that Ma Shiying's face was flushed and was about to explode, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Since Shi Aiqing is so worried about the country and the people, I will now order Shi Aiqing to set off on the same day and garrison Yangzhou City to resist the Qing soldiers, there must be no mistake."

As soon as this order came out, the ministers under the court were in an uproar. This is obviously delegating Shi Kefa to the frontier.

Shi Kefa's face changed drastically, and he didn't expect Emperor Hongguang to treat him like this. All of a sudden, he stood still, speechless.

Seeing that Shi Kefa stopped talking, Emperor Hongguang became excited, his fat body sat up all of a sudden, looked around the ministers under him and said: "I don't have the time to think about what the soldiers are not clear, what I am sad about is that there is no beautiful woman in my harem, I want to draft the draft!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the military officials below.

Walking out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Shi Kefa looked back, on the long woodcarved pillars at both ends of the palace door, there were two lines of big characters: Everything is not as good as a cup in hand, and several months in this life are the head. The font is vigorous and powerful, and it is the handwriting of the university scholar Wang Duo.

"Shi Shangshu, look, why are you bothering?" It turned out that Ma Shiying walked out with a spring breeze on his face.

"You eunuchs are in turmoil, and my good Daming country will be ruined in your hands." originally wanted to make fun of Shi Kefa, but who knew that he was scolded by pointing his nose, and Ma Shiying's face couldn't hold it anymore.

"Shi Shangshu, the emperor has ordered me to search the alleys in Nanjing, and wherever there is a woman's house, I will paste it with yellow paper and go away. If I'm not mistaken, Shi Shangshu, you seem to have a daughter, wait for the boudoir. ”

"You..." Shi Kefa was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only turn around and flick his sleeves and leave angrily.

"Shi Kefa, don't fall into my hands, if there is a day, I must make you look good." Looking at the back of Shi Kefa's departure, Ma Shiying muttered to himself hatefully.

As soon as he returned to Shangshu Mansion, Shi Kefa immediately ordered someone to clean up the softness, and left Nanjing with his family overnight, only going to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou City, a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River. After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they took advantage of the inaction of the Hongguang court to quickly occupy large areas of territory such as Shandong and Henan. After gaining a firm foothold in the northern part of the Central Plains, he began to concentrate his superior forces and march westward to defeat Li Zicheng. Although Li Zicheng's army actively responded to the battle, it was still unable to resist the strong attack of the Qing army, and Li Zicheng himself was in Jiugong Mountain, Hubei, and 'died tragically at the hands of local forces', and the Dashun regime was torn apart. However, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation in the victory, and constantly incorporated Li Zicheng's defeated army and various local armed forces to strengthen themselves. At this time, the Qing army was really strong and strong, and the Hongguang court was already in danger.

It is a pity that the emperors and high-ranking officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty have not yet realized the crisis, but they still want to thank the Qing army for avenging the first emperor (referring to Emperor Chongzhen) for themselves.

The absurdity of the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was just as the wish of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince of Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty, Duoduo, led the army to defeat the remnants of Li Zicheng, and after a little rest, he marched eastward to exterminate the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

It wasn't until the opening of the Qing Dynasty that the bigwigs of the Hongguang court in the Southern Ming Dynasty woke up like a dream and understood that the Qing Dynasty not only wanted to destroy Dashun, but also to destroy Hongguang.

Since Li Shuangxi and the five Shaolin brothers escaped from Tongshan County, they did not go to Jingzhou to find his good brother Li Guo, but changed the route and went straight to Jiangnan.

First, he wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and second, didn't King Chuang ask him to go to the Nanming regime to jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty? In fact, Li Shuangxi knew very well in his heart that with the revenge of Emperor Hongguang and King Chuang for killing the first emperor, it was not easy to let them unite to resist the Qing Dynasty! Instead of going to Li Guo to discuss the reason, it is better to try your luck first, explore the truth and then make a decision.

After the birth and death of Tongshan County, the five Shaolin brothers and Li Shuangxi are also considered friends of life and death, before parting, the six people knelt on the ground and worshiped into brothers of the opposite sex, "do not seek to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and month", and vowed to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty together, and break out a vigorous career.
