Chapter 276: Killing

Shi Kefa has been very depressed recently, and since he was put on the table by Ma Shiying, he has been in a bad mood. Now he has realized that he has made a big mistake in this succession battle.

As the head of the ministers of the Ministry of War, he should have made up his mind from the beginning, whether it was a successor or a virtuous person. As long as he showed a firm attitude at the beginning and did not ask for the opinions of others everywhere, perhaps the matter of succession would have been decided a long time ago. I don't want to get out of control like this.

In fact, Shi Kefa didn't care too much about the merits of support, he only thought about how to make Daming better and get through the current turbulent situation. And the emperor has everything to do, and he can't be cautious in choosing the vassal king to succeed him, so Shi Kefa hesitated and hesitated.

But now it seems that his prudence has been used by others, which has brought heavy consequences. Shi Kefa didn't care if he could be the first assistant in the new court and take power, what he cared about was that this succession battle involved Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong and other generals. The army's participation in the seizure of the heir will inevitably bring about the loss of the general's arrogance and the majesty of the imperial court, and it is likely to cause the consequences of the tail not being lost!

However, since the situation is already like this, it is impossible to think about it, so I can only come to meet King Fu's succession.

But to Shi Kefa's surprise, what he had said was to accompany King Fu to cross the river three days later, but Ma Shiying came over and asked to leave for Nanjing immediately tomorrow morning.

"Brother Yaocao, didn't you say that it was three days later, April 29 is an auspicious day for the zodiac, which is suitable for King Fu to set off, why is it so hasty?" Shi Kefa asked puzzled.

"Haha, yes, it's three days later. But Brother Daolin, brother, after thinking about it repeatedly, I think it is better to cross the river as soon as possible. Now that the thieves have captured Beijing, maybe they will raise troops to invade the south at any time, and the days left for us are numbered. Don't mind what auspicious days are not auspicious, His Royal Highness King Fu ascended to the throne one day earlier, and Daming stabilized one day earlier, so we can discuss the matter of dealing with thieves one day earlier. Time is running out, Brother Daolin! ”

Ma Shiying's righteous words were all for the sake of Daming, Shi Kefa instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he could only agree. In Shi Kefa's heart, since King Fu's succession has become a foregone conclusion, it is better to ascend the throne earlier. But Ma Shiying's performance is too urgent, from ancient times to the present, which emperor succeeds to the throne, he must not ask for three resignations, such eagerness is unseemly.

Seeing that Shi Kefa promised to leave tomorrow to cross the river, Ma Shiying was immediately relieved, but he had other things that Shi Kefa needed to agree.

"Brother Daolin, there is something I have to discuss with you. King Fu's meaning was to reorganize Liu Zeqing's department into the Imperial Forest Left Guard, and Liu Zeqing served as the commander to cross the river with King Fu, and this matter had to be agreed by Brother Daolin. Ma Shiying said with a smile.

"Nanjing already has a guard, and the army has more than 30,000 people, why bother to transfer foreign troops into the city?" Shi Kefa frowned and said unhappily.

Liu Zeqing's military discipline is well known, and if he enters Nanjing City, he doesn't know how much chaos it will cause.

"King Fu entered Nanjing, Nanjing really became the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the huge capital only had 30,000 troops. Liu Zeqing's troops have fought with the Manchu Tartars and thieves, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those guards in Nanjing who have never seen blood in their lives.

Ma Shiying said in a heartfelt manner, now that Chongzhen is still alive, the news will come soon, and there will definitely be many people in Nanjing who will change their hexagrams, and only the army can ensure that King Fu can successfully ascend to the throne.

Shi Kefa shook his head and refused to agree to Liu Zeqing's troops entering Nanjing, Liu Zeqing's troops were originally defeated troops fleeing from the wind, and their combat effectiveness was not good, and it was not a joke to expect him to train the guards in Nanjing? An army with extremely poor military discipline like Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie can just stay outside to deal with the thieves. The army naturally has to recruit and reorganize, but recruitment and reorganizational can only be done slowly.

"Brother Daolin, this is what His Royal Highness King Fu meant, are you going against his will for this little thing?" Seeing that Shi Kefa still disagreed, Ma Shiying lowered his face and asked unhappily.

The gloomy words made Shi Kefa feel a stir, and suddenly thought of the letter he wrote to Ma Shiying, in which he said that King Fu was greedy, lewd, drunk, unfilial, abused, did not study, and interfered with Yousi", he simply scolded a dog's blood spray. Ma Shiying must have read the letter to King Fu, and King Fu's attitude towards himself now can be imagined, if he is disobeying his will and insisting on not allowing Liu Zeqing to follow, will King Fu think that he still refuses to agree to his accession to the throne? If that's the case, it's a big problem!

After thinking about it, Shi Kefa could only sigh and choose to compromise.

"Liu Zeqing's military discipline is extremely poor, and there are many things about rape and plunder, you must warn him to restrain the army, Nanjing is not as good as a place, it is the capital of the Ming Emperor, if his subordinates dare to violate military discipline, you must know that the national law is not merciful!"

Although he agreed to Liu Zeqing's entry into Beijing, Shi Kefa still admonished.

"Of course, of course. I will tell Liu Zeqing what Brother Dao Lin said, if his subordinates have a behavior that disturbs the people, there is no need for Brother Dao Lin to fall, I will order the military law of soldiers who violate discipline to be dealt with! Seeing that Shi Kefa agreed, Ma Shiying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he patted his chest and promised.

After chatting with Shi Kefa for a while, discussing things such as leaving for the river tomorrow and which ministers in Nanjing would go to the Yanziji River to greet him, Ma Shiying said goodbye with a smile on his face and returned to his residence, Gao Jie and other generals were already waiting, but Huang Degong was not here.

"I have already agreed with Shi Kefa, and Liu Zeqing will lead his troops to enter Beijing with King Fu." Ma Shiying Road. Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo suddenly looked at Liu Zeqing with envy on their faces, and accompanied King Fu to Nanjing to ascend the throne, which is a big beauty difference, but it is better than working hard outside.

"Don't envy him, the burden on his shoulders is not light, and it depends on him whether King Fu can ascend the throne smoothly." Ma Shiying said with a smile, Liu Zeqing straightened his chest when he heard this, and expressed his loyalty to Ma Shiying.

"Since Chongzhen is alive, Chen Yue and Lu Zhenfei will definitely send him to Nanjing soon. In order for King Fu to ascend the throne smoothly, Chongzhen must not live, as long as he lives, King Fu, the emperor, should be unstable.

I heard that Chen Yue's combat strength is strong, so the two of you, Gao Zongbing and Liu Zongbing, have heavier tasks on your shoulders. Ma Shiying looked at Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo.

"Lord Zhongcheng, are you going to do so?" Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie looked at each other in shock.

"Intercept Chongzhen halfway when he goes south, kill him, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely eradicate the troubles!" Ma Shiying waved his hand fiercely.
