The tragedy of the Holy Father is indeed staggering......

In fact, there are not many suffocations, and in the short term, the gentry around Qufu know that they are cutting their teeth because of this evil deed, and they are gloating over Kong Yinzhi's extermination!

Anyway, you have today!

Then the cause of death was wantonly magnified.

The story made up by Chongzhen was maliciously arranged by the gentry around Qufu, and it was quickly added to the fire for the purpose of pure smearing, and then widely spread with richer content, and when the dragon boat arrived at Luqiao, the people here were already convinced that there was really such a Nishan drama thief Yang Feng. This thief has been entrenched in Nishan for many years, and is notorious in Qufu, because Yan Shenggong gave porridge to fool the emperor during Chongzhen's patrol, but after leaving, he used rice water to fool the people, and this miser behavior finally aroused the people's anger......

Indeed, this can easily provoke public anger.

If he had been using rice water, it would have been fine, first let people eat a full meal for three days, and then suddenly let people drink rice water, wouldn't that be pure stimulation? It was precisely because of his stinginess that there was a civil uprising in the city, and a large number of hungry people rushed to the Yansheng Mansion to grab food, and at this time, Yang Feng's inner should go out of the city to recruit this thief, and took advantage of the opportunity of the county order to suppress the hungry people to open the city gate and let them enter the city, and coerce the hungry people to attack the Yansheng Mansion and finally led to this tragedy.

Well, what a tragedy!

But that's all, there are many gentry who have been wiped out by hungry people and thieves these years! There are not a few cases in any county in Henan and Shandong, and if Yan Shenggong didn't have a special identity, no one would pay attention to this kind of thing at all.

But what about him?

How special can he be compared to those feudal kings of phoenixes and dragon grandchildren? How many vassal kings have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty now, not to mention far away, the Lu Wang family in the Yanzhou Mansion next to Qufu has also run out! When the Qing army broke through Yanzhou, how many clans of his brother Zhu Yipai and Lu Fan were killed? In the final analysis, the tragedy of Yan Sheng Gong is not the tragedy of one person and one family, but the tragedy of an era, in this era of human life, the phoenix sons and dragons and grandchildren were all killed like dogs, not to mention just a mere Yan Sheng Gong. No matter how miserable the Kong family is, can it be worse than the family of King Chu who was driven into the Yangtze River and drowned? Even the queen can be forced to commit suicide in the palace, is his life more noble than the queen?

And then the truth disappeared into all kinds of rumors.

As for Li Zicheng's side......

Gao Yigong was behind Yang Qing and those hungry people, and robbed all the remaining things of the Kong family, and it is said that he even got several of Kong Yinzhi's daughters-in-law and concubines to his bed, and he said that he protected the family of Yansheng Gong from being harmed by the chaotic people, as if he pressed people on the bed and did not harm others, saying that Yang Qing always had to drink soup when he ate meat, and in the face of the empty silver treasury of the Kong family, the old bandits shed tears of remorse.

He's only an hour late!

This hour made him miss out on countless gold and silver treasures.

If he wants to come one step earlier, even if he can't grab it all, at least he can force Yang Qing not to swallow it alone! In order to vent his anger, he scraped off the gold paint on some statues of the Confucian family, and melted down the bronze vessels of the Confucian family, since his eldest brother did this, Li Zicheng must not be able to publicize the truth, and even if he preaches it, no one believes it, he has a fart to speak, and he is still a rogue and a gentry spread rumors that Yang Feng was instructed by him, and then he shouted to catch the thief!

In short, the real culprit happily continued to go south in the center of all kinds of chaotic rumors.

Next stop Xuzhou.

At this time, the situation in the south gradually became clearer.

Originally stationed in Xuzhou was Gao Jie, who brought a green hat to Li Zicheng and sold Sun Chuanting in Tongguan, the old bandit was originally forced to Zezhou by Li Zicheng, and later when he saw that Li Zicheng went to Beijing, he simply abandoned Zezhou and went south along the Yellow River, and along the way to collect the rout, the strength of the army quickly expanded to 30,000 himself.

Before the news from Beijing arrived, Ma Shiying asked him to temporarily station in Xuzhou.

Originally, in history, he supported King Fu to go south, and Shi Kefa asked him to stay in Guazhou, but guarding the big fish and meat at the table in Yangzhou, he let him gnaw on the nest in Guazhou, which was a little unbearable for the old bandits, so this guy forcibly asked to be stationed in Yangzhou, and as a result, the Yangzhou gentry worked together to defend Yangzhou and not let him enter. These wastes, who had endured a few days when the Qing army attacked, actually fought with Gao Jie in Yangzhou for more than a month, knowing that Gao Jie, who knew that he could not capture Yangzhou, was persuaded by Shi Kefa, of course, mainly under the deterrence of Huang Degong, and finally had to accept mediation to return to Germany to return to the garrison.

By the way, before leaving, he attacked Huang Degong to vent his anger.

In the end, he was killed by Xu Dingguo in Guide, and his subordinates were led by Li Benshen to descend to the Qing Dynasty.

However, these did not happen because of the change in the situation in the north, and under the coercion and lure of Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude, he and his subordinates were always stationed in Xuzhou.

Until Chongzhen went south.

After getting the appointment of Xuyi's general army, Gao Jie knew that he couldn't resist Gao Yigong if he stayed in Xuzhou as a warlord, after all, they were all old brothers who knew the roots, and he knew very well that he was a scum in front of the elite of Gao Yigong's old battalion, so he ransacked Xuzhou and then went south to take office.

Chongzhen didn't dare to get off the boat in Xuzhou.

The gentry who had been harmed by Gao Jie lay on the banks of the canal and wept at him! Chongzhen, who knew that he was speechless, relied on the escort of the Guan Ning army to pass through Xuzhou, and behind him, he led the Shun army into Xuzhou, and the Shun army did not continue to move forward here. Their garrison line starts from Haizhou in the east, along Pizhou, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Bozhou, Yingzhou, and west to Tang and Deng, and finally connects to the Qinling line, which is basically equivalent to the Song-Jin line of the year, and the Ming army garrison line is along Huai, and then Zaoyang to Xiangyang, Yunyang, and Hanzhong, but the passes on both sides do not prohibit the free passage of business travel, and it is certainly essential to collect taxes or something, but neither side can prevent the transit of business travel.

The crossing of the armies of both sides will certainly not work.

The Ming court also did not have the right to appoint officials north of the demarcation line, and all north of this line was under the responsibility of the Beijing Left-behind Division and the Beijing Sixth Division.

Of course, theoretically the north is still the Ming Dynasty.

In the official explanation of the Ming Dynasty, the north is just a special military area, serving the Beijing garrison that is dedicated to resisting the invasion of Jiannu, just like a super-large military town, or similar to the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy, and later the Ming court under the banner of logistics supply, transporting one million stone military rations to the Beijing Garrison Division every year, and paying protection fees to the prince and other hostages in Beijing.

Suqian.

"Where is Liu Zeqing?"

Chongzhen asked Lu Zhenfei expressionlessly.

The latter is actually the governor of Caoyun, equivalent to the governor of Caoyun in the later Qing Dynasty, the Yamen station is Huai'an, in the new batch of appointments of Chongzhen, his position has not changed for the time being, Chongzhen's new batch of appointments are mainly to win over the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, so the vast majority of them are southern officials, and he is a northerner. However, this was originally Yang Qing's proposal to be the first assistant at this time, among the more talented officials in the south, and he originally resigned soon in history because of his mother's worries, and it is estimated that it was also the exclusion of southern officials after Hongguang was established. Not only him, most of the northern officials were squeezed out, and then a large number of southern officials who were originally idle were used, such as the water was too cold, and Lu Zhenfei was an official of the Southern Ming Dynasty for several years after the fall of Nanjing, but in the end he died of grief.

"Back to Your Majesty, Dongping Bo said that he didn't dare to leave Huai'an because the military situation was unstable."

Lu Zhenfei said cautiously.

"The military situation is unstable, how can he be unstable?"

Chongzhen asked.

"Dongping Bo said that all the departments are from Shandong, and when he heard that His Majesty was fortunate in the south, Shandong was in the hands of Li Zicheng, and he had many complaints about his relatives, so he could only try his best to suppress it, but he still did not dare to ensure that it was foolproof, so he also asked his ministers to play His Majesty, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty, it is best not to enter the city, even if he enters the city, do not let the escort troops enter the city, so as not to change the miscellaneous places of the various armies."

Lu Zhenfei said.

"Well, he doesn't have to be so weak-minded, right?"

Yang Qing said very open-mouthedly on the side.

"Humph!"

Chongzhen snorted coldly.

"Minister's mouth!"

Yang Qing whispered like a standard traitor and then retracted.

The thing is very clear, Liu Zeqing just wants to be a warlord, he sat in Linqing and watched Chongzhen being beaten by Li Zicheng, and then fled south as soon as Beijing fell, Chongzhen didn't like him before, of course he had to be on guard at this time, in case Chongzhen entered Huai'an with an escort army, and a holy decree took him down, did he still expect those miscellaneous troops under his command to fight with the Guanning army?

He still has this self-knowledge.

He won't give Chongzhen this chance!

At this time, the situation is very clear, Chongzhen is going to be Zhao Gou, and these guards along the Huai are cannon fodder on the front line, and any court in the south of the country will use the Yan Huai as cannon fodder, which gives him the opportunity to be a warlord. He has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, all he needs is a base, and Huai'an is the best choice, the local wealth can provide enough food, next to the main production area of Huai salt, itself is a north-south transportation hub, and there is no shortage of food and salary after operation, so of course he has to hold on. And the premise of holding this piece of fat is that he can't be relieved of military power by Chongzhen in the first place, and Chongzhen who goes south must learn from Zhao to collect military power and control the army himself, even if he doesn't, he has to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and find a general to clean up to establish the emperor's majesty.

It's like Zhao Gou doing Yue Fei.

And he is the most suitable.

Zuo Liangyu no one dared to move, Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie are both Li Zicheng's rebel generals, and they can guarantee that they will not surrender Li Zicheng, Huang Degong is loyal, and Huang Fei is Chongzhen's cronies.

So apart from him, who is not pleasing to the eye and has bad deeds, and has no enmity with Li Zicheng, who is completely qualified to be a wall grass, how can there be anything more suitable for killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys? Liu Zeqing will not be stupid to send it to the door by himself, you Chongzhen will go over if you love the past, anyway, I will not cross the Yellow River to be alone with you, if you want to see me, don't bring the escorted army into the city, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get along with the monarch and the minister.

Don't think my army of tens of thousands is so easy to bully.

Who really thinks that you don't know what's going on with your Nan Xing?

"You go back and tell him, I will cross the Yellow River with three hundred brocade guards!"

Chongzhen sneered.

(It's still a chapter today, and I'll resume two more tomorrow)
