Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, in the Jinling Palace, Zhu Yujian's health was getting better day by day.

In recent days, there has been continuous good news, and Jin Shenghuan, who is trapped in Jiangxi, intends to surrender.

As soon as Jin Shenghuan's envoy arrived in Jinling, he was summoned by the emperor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty waited for their news.

Two days later, Jin Shenghuan, the chief military officer of Jiangxi in the puppet Qing Dynasty, captured and killed Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi in the puppet Qing Dynasty, Dong Xuecheng, the governor of Jiangxi, and Chi Bianlong, the political envoy, and led the crowd to surrender. Ganzhou's throat finally pulled out this thorn.

When the news reached Suzhou, Hou Xuanyan was like thunder, and Jin Shenghuan, a traitor, slaughtered 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Ganzhou, known as the massacre of Ganzhou. Now that he has become a loyal minister and a good general of the Ming Dynasty, has anyone asked the 200,000 innocent Ganzhou people who died? In this way, is it possible that Li Chengdong will lead his troops to surrender another day, and he will also be an official in the same palace as himself?

Hou Xuanyan first sent people to scold Qian Sule and Sun Jiaji, scolding them for besieging Ganzhou for so long and not entering an inch of land. Then he wrote to the emperor and bluntly said that he could collect all his soldiers, recover Jiangxi, and then kill him.

Zhu Yujian felt ridiculous, and replied: What Yue Guogong said, I thought about it again and again, and thought it was not advisable. Because of this, the court lost its credibility.

Hou Xuanyan was in a low mood and drank in the house all day, and his uncle Hou Qi once advised: "Wen Yuan, if you are in a bad mood, you can go out for a walk." Anyway, the preparations for the big wedding have not been completed yet, and the marriage will be completed in a month. ”

Hou Xuanyan came to the outside of Gusu City and boated on Taihu Lake. The water was cold in the first month, the lake was empty, and a small boat quietly approached. Hou Xuanyan was in the cabin, covering his face with a hat, holding a fishing rod without bait, and drifting with the tide.

The boatman on the boat shook the snowflakes on his hat and said, "Governor, recently, Chen Zilong's mansion went to a strange monk. Liu Rushi, who was hidden in his house, often went in pairs with this monk. Under the mark, people imitate the appearance of the monk, and many investigations have been made, and it has been found that this person must be Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi, Chen Zilong, and Huang Zongxi often gather secret agents, and we suspect that it is related to the commander. ”

Under the hat, Hou Xuanyan hummed and asked, "This generation is not worried, Jin Shenghuan surrendered, why didn't I receive the news?" ”

The boatman lowered his head, looked ashamed, and said: "This person is suspicious and has no rules in his behavior, and he was originally born as a thief in Shaanxi. Just because he disagreed with the governor, he went on a killing spree, killed all the officials and chose to surrender. It is true that there was no warning beforehand, and the subordinates did not notice it. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and asked, "What news has come from Hong Yixun's side?" ”

The boatman said: "Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Hanzhong, he was suspicious, and asked for help from Gu Yinxi. On the condition that he remove the imperial throne and submit a demote, the governor was strongly opposed by Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates. Now that the two sides are still negotiating, some people in the DPRK and China have already attacked and blocked Yinxi, saying that he will first break into rebellion one after another, and then he will make a good offer of rebellion, which is ill-intentioned. ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed and scolded: "A group of fools. ”

Although the boatman didn't know where he learned this slang, he also knew that it was a curse, and continued: "Commander, there are three people in Chen Zilong's mansion, do you want it?"

Hou Xuanyan said: "No, poisonous snakes can only hurt people in the dark, and once they are caught, they are the best medicinal materials." Now that we know about their tricks, it might be useful to keep them. ”

In Dabie Mountain, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi gathered in one place, and in addition to these three, there was not even a single personal soldier left in the tent.

Geng Zhongming picked up the charcoal fire and said: "Wu Sangui is a ruthless man, he left behind an army of 200,000, bypassed Dongting Lake in a smoke, and ran to Hanzhong. 200,000 ah, if you say you will lose it, the court will not dare to issue an order to punish him heavily. Hey! I think this Manchurian Jiannu, compared to Mongolia back then, is still almost hot, and if you want to enter the Central Plains, I'm afraid it's a fool's dream. ”

Kong Youde looked at Shang Kexi, but saw that he was still there, and he didn't reply. Kong Youde was angry in his heart, and said loudly: "Grandpa has fought with Jiannu all his life, although he was killed by Yuan Chonghuan's dog thief, but he never thought of surrendering. Our brothers were also desperate, so we were forced to choose to cooperate with the Manchurians. We are all Liao, millions of Liao, who has never been killed by Nurhachi a few blood relatives. I mean, no matter how much Dolgon urges, we must preserve our strength and learn from that kid Wu Sangui. If one day, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Hou Xuanyan are exhausted, who said that we brothers have no chance. Lao Shang, what do you think? ”

Shang Kexi was silent, the two people around him actually had an enmity with him.

Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu was still happy to kill, and soon after, the Ming Dynasty had the Wuqiao Mutiny, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others occupied Dengzhou, resisting the Ming army for more than a year. After the mutiny, Huanglong sent Shang Kexi and Jin Shenghuan, who were still generals of the Ming Dynasty at the time, to pacify the Dongjiang Islands and expel the rebel Gao Chengyou in Lushun, and then Huanglong settled in Lushun. In February, Shang Kexi suddenly exerted his strength and fled Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to the sea.

Later, the desperate Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming surrendered to the Manchu Qing and led troops to retaliate. Huanglong committed suicide in defeat, and Shang Kexi's wife and concubines and hundreds of family servants and maidservants who remained in Lushun also threw themselves into the water and died.

Between each other, although they were both born on Phi Dao, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are like brothers. is much more estranged from Shang Kexi, although Kong Youde and Geng Zongming are bent on winning him over, but there is always a layer of separation between them.

Shang Kexi stretched out his hand to approach the brazier, sighed, and said: "We are first Ming generals, and then we are Manchu Qing, if we have to repeat, I am afraid it will be against the peace of heaven." Being a man is against the harmony of heaven and earth, and it will be thundered by heaven. ”

Geng Zhongming smiled predictively and said, "That Nurhachi was originally a slave of the Li family, and a guard dog raised by our Han people. Later, he didn't kill millions of Han people, if there was a curse, he would have been struck into ashes by lightning a long time ago. The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and the strong man should be the emperor and the emperor. If you look forward and backward, and even take into account the damnation of God, do I still have to go to the temple to ask for peace for you? ”

Shang Kexi stood up and said coldly: "Geng Er, you don't have to fight with me, if you are really capable, why didn't you fight Yuan Chonghuan in the first place?" ”

Kong Youde respected Mao Wenlong the most, and when he heard him mention the year, he said angrily: "Enough! Geng Er and I weren't with my grandfather at the time, I just didn't know that you were in the tent, why are you embarrassed to mention it today? ”

Shang Kexi didn't want to be completely stiff, so he said in a slow tone: "The number of Manqing Qi is not exhausted, how can a Hou Xuanyan change his life against the sky." Don't look at his joy now, you must know how many heroes have died in the hands of their own people after Jiangnan. Let's wait and see for a while, I am sure that Hou Xuanyan will die tragically in the middle of the Southern Ming Dynasty. ”
