Chapter 70: Yan Shenggong
"Faint King, you Dumb King!"
On the tower of Guangchuan Gate, which was facing the canal, Zhang Fengxiang let out a mournful roar.
"Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chengzu, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, open your eyes and take a look, and see how your descendants fled in a hurry in front of the thieves......"
He screamed like madness.
In the distance, on the canal that runs south, the dragon boat carrying Chongzhen slowly sails by, and the boat carrying soldiers and immigrants behind it stretches like a dragon, and the Guanning iron horsemen escorted by the bank gallop at a gallop, and behind these Guanning iron horsemen, you can see more cavalry surging in. It was the cavalry of the Shun army that also escorted or supervised Chongzhen's southward movement, and soon they would enter the city and take over power, and then, as Gao Yigong promised, open a warehouse and release grain to help the victims, and at this moment hundreds of people were cheering under the city, waiting for their arrival.
Zhang Fengxiang was still cursing.
The desperate gentry beside him cried.
Their cursing and cries were in stark contrast to the cheers of the people below......
"I thought he was going to jump!"
Yang Qing looked at Zhang Fengxiang, who was crazy above his head, while walking out of Guangchuan Gate, and said to Gao Yigong, who went out of the city with him.
"Jump?"
Gao Yigong sneered.
"His son just sent me two beautiful maids!"
Then he said as he urged his horse.
Indeed, Zhang Fengxiang was just emotional and couldn't control his running to vent, after all, this hit him too hard, and he was completely qualified to lose his mind, and he didn't dare to really vent to Chongzhen, so far away Chongzhen could neither see nor hear, he just came purely to release his emotions, just like those who dare to scold the street cowards when they watch others go. But to say that he is really nostalgic for Da Ming to such an extent is nonsense, his back road has already begun to be paved, since Chongzhen has abandoned him, of course he has to vote for the Ming Lord, although Li Zicheng is indeed not a Ming Lord, he is still a rogue, but there is no other choice!
Pinch your nose and endure it!
When he was crying for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty here, his children and grandchildren had already put out wine and meat waiting for the king to enter the city!
As for him scolding the thief......
He is old, is Li Zicheng embarrassed to worry about him?
Can't he just lose his mind and go crazy?
"Ma, why didn't anyone give me a beautiful maid!"
Yang Qing looked at the farce above his head and said very dissatisfied.
Immediately after that, he urged the horse to catch up with Gao Yigong, and soon arrived at the bank of the canal, the latter turned to meet the cavalry of the Shun army, and Yang Qing took twelve brocade guards to board the small boat waiting on the shore, quickly approached Chongzhen's dragon boat, and then boarded the boat to return to Chongzhen. As for this result, that's it, anyway, Chongzhen's face was saved, and Dezhou City was not opened, it was opened by the people in the city themselves, and Chongzhen's fleet had never docked, so I definitely don't know what happened on the shore, who wouldn't pretend to be confused!
This is how Nanyuki's fleet crossed Texas.
As for the next stop, Linqing, before they arrived, it was already controlled by the people in the city who opened the door to welcome the king, and the third stop Dongchang was the same, including Zhu Shuaiqin and Ling Jiao, some officials who were unwilling to mingle under Li Zicheng abandoned their posts and went south.
Then, as Chongzhen's holy decree spread, the clans and officials from the south who were still resisting in Shandong all abandoned their posts and fled.
There are quite a few such people.
In fact, what Li Zicheng can really control at present is to the Jinan area, and it is because the officials of Jinan surrendered, but the peninsula to the east is simply a pot of porridge made by the Ming Dynasty officials and those gentry who raised troops, as well as the peasant army and even pure bandits who only flaunt the banner of the Shun army......
Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng, raised troops in Qingzhou and took control of Qingzhou.
In addition, there is the German king Zhu Youqi.
Originally, in history, Li Zicheng didn't care about them at all.
Later, with the entry of the Qing army, under the persuasion of Daowang Aoyong, the former supervisor of Jizhen from Shandong, and the threat of the Qing army led by Bahana, most of the former surrendered to the Qing army and then exterminated the latter with the Qing army, including Zhu Youdi, but they were soon destroyed by Dolgon with an excuse. There are also some Ming ministers who are unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty who choose to go south, and some of the various factions who swear not to surrender finally form a wave of resistance to the Qing Dynasty in Shandong, these people made a lot of noise, and even took Qingzhou to chop Wang Aoyong, but in the end they were slaughtered by the Qing army and the gentry.
By the way, the Qing army also killed nearly half of the population of Shandong.
During this period, he also cultivated talents such as Sun Zhiqi for the Qing Dynasty.
But now the gentry did not wait for their holy lord, Mingjun.
After all, our Qing Dynasty still lived up to their expectations, and then the Ming Emperor didn't want them anymore, and now only Li Zicheng's clamp stick fell on their heads, saying that they can indeed scold the street like Zhang Fengxiang, how many gentry cried like tears after getting this bad news......
But they will resist.
Nor is it possible for them to give up resistance.
But their life and death are no longer in the scope of Chongzhen and the southern gentry's concern, the latter has already got what they want, even at the cost of the former's bad luck, but this world is like this, the dead Taoist friends are not dead and poor! Gentry? The gentry are not a family, and it is not a day for the gentry to fight openly and secretly between the gentry in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, do you still expect the southern gentry to set themselves on fire for the northern gentry? It doesn't make sense! Originally, in history, in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the northern and southern Hanchens stabbed each other with knives and stabbed each other to the point of blood, why should they be like brothers in the Ming Dynasty? In the future, Chongzhen may use the northern gentry to contain Li Zicheng, but at this time, Chongzhen does not have the guts, in case the latter goes south with the victory of Shanhaiguan, the unfinished Jiangbei defense circle will not be able to stop him.
Chongzhen continued to move forward after passing Dongchang.
Behind him, Gao Yigong, in the name of the governor of Shandong appointed by Li Zicheng, led a large army to quickly take over the cities along the canal, and opened warehouses to release grain to help those hungry people in exchange for the support of the common people, and at the same time resolutely cracked down on all the gentry who dared to resist. Even those who did not resist were forced to open the warehouses to give money and grain, and one by one the officials appointed by Li Zicheng drove away the magistrates and occupied the halls, and sent soldiers to act as officials to carry those gentry to send them to the task of helping them to pay, and if they could not get out, they went to the prison to be beaten.
Along the way, the cries of the gentry and the cheers of the hungry people continued to spread as Chongzhen's dragon boat moved forward.
But Chongzhen on the dragon boat will not hear it.
Even if he hears it, he will definitely pretend not to hear it, anyway, he just doesn't get off the boat, anyway, the brocade guards on both sides of the strait are closely guarded and responsible for blocking the drive, and all the gentry who tried to cry to him were blocked at least one mile away, and his holy decree also said, you can go to Beijing or Nanjing to find the imperial history, and then the imperial history will be replayed, our Ming Dynasty is a country ruled by law, everything must be in accordance with the procedure, as for the future......
Well, he will instruct King Qin to deal with it.
The north is also the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor will not ignore you!
Although this north has been handed over to the King of Qin to manage, it is also the world of the Ming Emperor, even if the King of Qin is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, if the King of Qin does not do it right, you can still play!
I will issue an order to the King of Qin to investigate thoroughly......
Well, the ostrich is the ostrich!
The ostrich policy is still very effective, out of sight and out of mind!
Besides, Chongzhen at this time is not the Chongzhen of the past, he has not seen anything in the more than a month since he walked out of the palace and out of Beijing, and he is not naïve and ignorant in the past, in his opinion, these gentry are in a sense to repay debts, and they owe him, and they owe the debts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are not repaid to him, he can say that he deserves it, as long as he arrives in Nanjing safely, everything will be fine, and the cry of these people is a!
Anyway, Chongzhen is shrinking into his dragon boat as an ostrich.
In this way, he passed through Dongping again.
But in Jining, he can't be it.
"Minister, Kong Yinzhi, greets the holy driver!"
On the wharf of the Jining Canal, a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade civil official uniform, with a bunch of officials at all levels behind him, bowed respectfully to the ground, and shouted loudly to Chongzhen, who stepped off the boat.
"Yan Sheng's fair body!"
Chongzhen stepped forward and said.
Kong Yinzhi hurriedly stood up.
His name Kong Yanzhi in our Qing Dynasty was changed by his descendants to avoid the secrecy of the fourth elder brother, and his real name is Kong Yinzhi, but this time because of the fiasco of Dolgon in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, he did not have the strange article of the prosperous era of the Eight Desolations and Xiange. Fortunately, he put out the tablet of Dashun Tianzi to welcome Li Zicheng's people a long time ago, and because of the long distance and his relatively calm mind, there was no edict issued by Fengshan Customs to raise troops to chase King Kouqin, so there is no need to worry about Li Zicheng's liquidation at this time, and he can calmly face this reshuffle in the north.
As for the future......
What's the big deal in the future?
Who in the Kong family has never knelt, are they still afraid of kneeling again?
Could it be that Li Zicheng will arrest him and put him on the stick like everyone else? It's a fantasy! No matter who becomes the emperor, he still has to give him a little face for this signboard on his head, and he still has this confidence. In fact, he has already helped, and several carriages behind him are pulling the silver to take the initiative to give it to Gao Yigong, like him, of course, he will not wait for Gao Yigong to come to the door in person. There were not only 20,000 taels of silver in the carriage, but also his ode to Li Zicheng, congratulating the King of Qin on defeating Jiannu to defend the people of the Central Plains.
Yan Shenggong is still very knowledgeable.
However, Chongzhen must still be welcomed, after all, betting on both sides is the right reason, while welcoming Li Zicheng to govern the north, while doing his best to Chongzhen as a minister, so that no matter who laughs to the end in the future, at least the Kong family does not have to cry,
"Your Majesty, you have cleared!"
Kong Yinzhi looked at Chongzhen, just like when Yang Qing said "Your Majesty, you have lost weight" and said affectionately.
