In this way, Chongzhen stood forward along the canal station under the sign that everyone avoided, Xingji, Cangzhou, and Dongguang......

And then soon it was impossible to walk.

Mulberry.

"Your Majesty, the minister would rather die than obey the edict!"

Zhu Shuaiqin, the lieutenant of the Fengguo of the Qing Domain of the Ming Dynasty, lay on the deck and wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are not the rivers and mountains of Your Majesty, but the rivers and mountains of Emperor Taizu, after the ministers and Your Majesty are both Taizu, I would rather die than sit back and watch Your Majesty abandon the north of the Huai River, so that the people of the Central Plains are poisonous thieves, Your Majesty has an army of 100,000 at this time, and millions of righteous people in Shandong, why are you afraid of that rebellion, please ask Your Majesty to return to the division, and the ministers and Shandong righteous people will return to Beijing to clear the temple!" ”

This is one of the resistance forces that Li Zicheng needs to clean up next.

It is also the largest one.

After Wu Sangui issued the holy decree of King Qin, who was forced by Li Zicheng's help, Dezhou, Dongchang, Linqing and other places, headed by Zhang Fengxiang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Works, raised troops at the beheaval of Zhu Shuaiqin, and took advantage of the opportunity of Li Zicheng's Shanhaiguan Battle to break the canal.

And then now it's unlucky.

The army of high Yigong is behind Chongzhen!

The only way for them to escape this catastrophe is to pull Chongzhen into the water again, so they are resolute not to let Chongzhen pass, if Chongzhen leaves, then Li Zicheng will not have to clip out their brains! The final result was that Dezhou, Linqing, and Dongchang formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and together with other landlord armies in the northwest of Shandong, they gathered in Dezhou, preparing to be the next Wu Sangui here. It is said that they are really desperate, especially after Chongzhen left Tianjin, the Shun army that took over there completely liquidated the gentry under the protection of Yuan Yuzong, and it is said that the salt merchants killed more than a dozen, and this kind of madness made them have no way out.

It is said that Li Zicheng is in need of money now.

He needs to help the victims, needs to expand the army, especially the formation of a water division, Huang Fei and others went south to take away almost all the water divisions, Li Zicheng's subordinates now have no water divisions, if they want to continue to maintain the blockade of our Qing Dynasty, then they must build their own ships and rebuild, and they also need to introduce sweet potatoes from the south, Zheng Zhilong will definitely kill him in this business. After saying that after this changed from a rogue to a sitting coward, Li Zicheng also felt the pressure, this monarch is indeed not so easy to be, external enemies, internal enemies, people, gentry, officials, systems, etc., all mess has to be worried about by him, and the premise of all this is silver.

Although he copied tens of millions of taels.

But that's not enough.

He is not going to collect taxes from the people under his rule, at least this year.

Because he knows very well that no matter how many gentry officials oppose him, as long as the common people still remember his Juntian free grain, then the latter will all be scum, on the contrary, once the banner of Juntian free grain falls, then his foundation will also collapse, so at least this year he still has to hold this banner high.

Even if something changes, we'll have to talk about it later.

So he still has to pick up the fight against the local tyrants again, before he was worried that the rebellion in various places would intensify and affect the battle of Shanhaiguan, but now that Shanhaiguan has won, Dolgon, who lacks a ball, is no longer able to go south, and there is no need to worry about it, of course, he will raise the butcher's knife against the gentry again. Compared with collecting taxes from the common people and fighting local tyrants, it is obvious that the latter is more in line with his style, so the original subsidy that he hastily stopped during the Battle of Shanhaiguan began to recover in various places at this time, anyway, these gentry are already fat sheep in his pen, and it is really unreasonable not to slaughter them.

Poor gentry are really cornered.

Chongzhen is their last straw, and they can't let it go at this time.

"My decree has been issued, how can I break my word, you don't want to be a northern official, just follow me to the south."

Chongzhen said slowly.

Speaking of which, he is still satisfied with these people.

After all, these people are theoretically also fighting for him, although they are still worse than those who are really loyal to him, but compared to those who betrayed him and chased him, they are worthy of him, especially a clan like Zhu Shuaiqin, in the case of the clan generally behaving like a pig, it is rare to have this courage.

"Your Majesty, can the ministers go, can the people go?"

Ling Xiang, the head of the military department who raised the army in Linqing, said.

He is a southerner, he was defeated in Shanxi and returned, originally returned to the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, and later was ordered by Hongguang to guard the Qing army, but the defenders surrendered, and he committed suicide in anger.

"The people can follow the king of Qin!"

Zhang Shenyan said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been in the four dynasties, and the old minister dares to ask Your Majesty like this, how can you see the first emperor, how can you see Emperor Shenzong, and how can you see the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Fengxiang said sadly.

In fact, he could have gone through the Five Dynasties, this is our Qing Dynasty Shunzhi Dynasty Prince Taibao, in other words, he is indeed only sad and angry at the moment, but it is definitely not the feelings of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, the main thing is that he is a local, his family is from Liaocheng, and he can't even run! Others ran away and couldn't take the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land at home, right?

"Yuan Penggong, please respect yourself!"

Wu Weiye shouted.

"Your Majesty is just the old capital of Emperor Taizu in the south, how can you abandon the north of the Huai River, is it not that the King of Qin is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty, is the prince still in Beijing, is this Shandong no longer the land of the Ming Dynasty? Although the King of Qin was born recklessly, he had already changed his mind and was pardoned by His Majesty, and led his subordinates to guard Beijing to block Jiannu for the Ming Dynasty. Gong is the former minister of Shenzong and the first emperor, when he knew that Jiannu was suffering for decades was the feud of the Ming Dynasty, the country used troops for decades to be destroyed, when Jiannu entered the customs and plundered Shandong by its poison, this time the King of Qin returned to obedience, and the imperial court allied forces fought and punished tens of thousands, and so on did not think of assisting the King of Qin to make persistent efforts to level Jiannu, but raised troops to block the holy car is to be chaotic? ”

He then rebuked with great righteousness and awe.

In other words, he himself felt that he was a little thick-skinned, especially when Li Zicheng changed his mind, he himself was a little nauseated, but he had to say this, his family is Taicang and not Texas, he doesn't care if the Shandong gentry were caught out of their brains by Li Zicheng! Chongzhen went south to Mingshun to armistice and ceas, and they continued to chant on the Qinhuai River with the silver from the sea trade It is right to be merry, as for the wails of the northern gentry, they will not hear it, or if they hear it, they will pretend not to hear it.

"Dog thing, the old man Wanli twenty-nine years of Jinshi, who are you? Born? How dare you teach the old man a lesson here? ”

Zhang Fengxiang spat on his face with a mouthful of thick phlegm and scolded unceremoniously.

"Huh?!"

Wu Weiye stammered.

Indeed, he was not born when he was a jinshi!

"The Ming Dynasty is to wait for the Donglin Party to be broken, you live in the fertile land of the south, sit back and watch the famine and starvation in the north, when the world is in chaos and thieves swarm, you are equal to the Qinhuai River singing and feasting, when the temple is dusty, regardless of the shame of the people of the north, the people of the north bait the thief, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in exchange for the Gou An, the bones of tens of millions of Li people in exchange for the promotion of peace, your brazenness is simply disgusting, you want to be the Southern Song Dynasty, are you not afraid that one day we will be Zhang Hongfan? Although the old man is about to die, there will be a day to watch the cliff mountain of you! ”

Zhang Fengxiang said viciously.

After speaking, he stood up, did not salute Chongzhen again, and walked directly to the boat with his entourage.

And Zhu Shuaiqin and Ling Jiao looked at him embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Penggong is also angry for a while."

Ling Xiao said cautiously.

Chongzhen sighed slightly.

"Ling Qing, I am fortunate that the south has been decided, you don't want to accompany the northern officials, you and other subordinates can also follow, if you stay in the north, you can listen to the orders of the king of Qin with peace of mind, and don't mention the matter of returning to Beijing, the north is like this now, I really have a negative impact on the people, if the king of Qin can make the people in the north safe, then let him go!"

Then he waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, that Texas ......"

Wu Weiye, who had just wiped his face, wanted to speak again.

What does he mean about our lives?

Dezhou, Linqing, Dongchang three cities strung on the canal, there is no place to go around, if you want to go through, you can only open one city by one, really knock down nothing, after all, Chongzhen is still followed by the Guanning army and Gao Yigong's 30,000 Shun army, but the Ming Emperor took his army and the thief army to partner, attacking a group of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty in a sense......

This, this, why is this so awkward?

These people are indeed loyal and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen was also very entangled, he only found out at this time that it was a complete mistake to take the canal, if he took the sea route, there would be no such, but he didn't expect that he still had some loyal ministers and righteous people here, if he really had to order an attack on Texas, then the sign of Daming would be completely stinky in the minds of the northern gentry. Just like Zhang Fengxiang said, since you want to be the Southern Song Dynasty, then don't blame us for being the Han warlords who followed the Jin army and the Mongolian army south, and don't blame us for being Zhang Hongfan, the exterminator of the Song Dynasty. It was you who abandoned us, it was you who betrayed us, the Southern Song Dynasty sold us to foreign races, you sold us to thieves, this is all the same for us, and when we follow Li Zicheng south to destroy you in the future, you will be to blame.

And he still wants to thive one day!

Of course, he couldn't just accept his fate, his compromise with Li Zicheng was just in exchange for time to regroup, as long as an elite division was trained in Jiangnan, he still had to fight back to Beijing, and the support of the northern gentry was also indispensable at that time.

But what now?

At this moment, it was not only Chongzhen, but everyone on this ship was silent.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough rang out.

Zhu Shuaiqin and Ling Qian looked up in amazement and looked at the young Jinyi guard who had been standing behind Chongzhen.

The latter was wearing a red flying fish suit, with seven knives stuck diagonally behind his back like a peacock opening the screen, and the shape looked quite exaggerated, and then he coughed again with a reserved face.

"Yang Qing, this matter is handed over to you!"

Chongzhen said slowly.

"But you can't attack the city, this generation is a loyal and righteous person, although it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."

He then added.
