In November of the third year of Chongzhen (the third year of Tiancong of the Manchu Dynasty), Runing Mansion, Henan, Jiuliguan.

Outside the city, the Hanwei army camp that stretches for more than ten miles is like a city, with flags covering the sun and drums shaking the sky.

Liu Yunwei led nearly 100,000 troops from the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion and Feiyu Battalion to Guanxia and has been stationed here for several days.

Before leading the army south, Liu Yunwei left Wen Poyu, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, and led the iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to continue to garrison in Beizhili to prevent the resurgence of the remnants of the Donglin Party in the northern provinces.

Since Liu Yunwei was able to open the government after being sealed as the prince of the town, he changed the original Jiliao Governor's Mansion to the shogunate, and continued to manage the military towns under the jurisdiction of the original Jiliao Governor's Mansion and its various affairs.

Therefore, Liu Yunwei also issued an order to Zhou Tianyi, ordering him to write a letter in the name of Liu Yunwei to Sun Chengzong, Hong Chengchou and other upright people in the Donglin Party, explaining in detail the causes and consequences of this attack on the Donglin Party, hoping to win the support and understanding of everyone.

After taking care of these things, Liu Yunwei bid farewell to Emperor Chongzhen and led nearly 100,000 Han Wei soldiers south to the south of the Yangtze River.

After a long journey of more than ten days, the soldiers of the army stopped at this Jiuli Pass, because after the Jiuli Pass, continue to go south is Huguang, cross the Huai River and turn to the southeast, and then walk for a few days, the army can arrive at Yangzhou City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the soldiers will come to Nanjing City across the river.

That night, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying discussed for a long time with the Chinese army set up in Jiuli Pass, and decided to wait in Jiuli Pass until Yuan Mingxuan sent over the details of Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is different from the provinces in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, there are many families in Jiangnan, and they are also intertwined with each other, if they are not handled well, the current situation will be completely out of control.

"Big brother, I'm a little worried, if we delay here for too long, will those Donglin rebels entrenched in the provinces south of the Yangtze River be prepared?"

Liu Yunwei was not worried at all, but said with a smile: "It's okay! After a long time, those Donglin rebels will be more fully prepared, so we can eradicate as many troubles as possible when we strike with a thunderbolt! ”

After listening, Lu Ying suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect this, since this is the case, then let's stay in Jiuliguan for a while, and let the soldiers rest for a while." ”

Two days later, Cheng Shiyong rushed to Jiuliguan with Yuan Mingxuan's secret letter, and after seeing Liu Yunwei, Cheng Shiyong said: "Grandpa Qiqi, the Donglin rebel party in the provinces south of the Yangtze River has begun to prepare to resist our army, this is a handwritten letter from Lord Yuan, please see the details." ”

Liu Yunwei's face was also solemn when he heard this, and he read it after opening the letter. After a while, Liu Yunwei said coldly: "Hmph! These Donglin rebels are all pretentious, but once they reach the crisis, they all fly separately when the disaster comes, what a group of hypocrites! ”

Lu Ying on the side frowned and asked, "Grandpa, what is written in Lord Yuan's handwritten letter?" ”

Liu Yunwei raised the handwritten letter in his hand and said: "Not long ago, Ma Shiying, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, Tang Shiji, the imperial envoy of the capital, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Duo, a scholar of the university, had a secret gathering

Prepare to discuss how to fight against the father. ”

"Daring!"

However, Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu are still acquaintances, and they do not have any radical remarks and propositions; Shi Kefa is a loyal and upright person, although his ability is not too strong, but his character is still noble, and he is also a loyal person; There is also that Qian Qianyi, which can be described as a grass on the wall, so you don't need to pay attention to it for the time being, just watch the after-effects. ”

Lu Ying nodded and asked, "Grandpa, what about the scholar Wang Duo and the imperial envoy Tang Shiji?" ”

Liu Yunwei said coldly: "These two people should be punished!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei told Wang Duo and Tang Shiji about the fact that Wang Duo and Tang Shiji were preparing to contact the ministers and generals from all over the south of the Yangtze River to raise troops against the Han Wei army, and Lu Ying was suddenly furious and said loudly: "Do these two thieves want to let Daming fall into a civil war?" It's so hateful that it should be broken into pieces and beheaded all over the house! ”

Cheng Shiyong also said: "Grandpa, now that the situation is urgent, our army should cross the Yangtze River before the two thieves are ready and surround Nanjing City with heavy troops!" Don't stay too long in Jiuliguan! ”

"No hurry!"

Liu Yunwei waved his hand and said, "My father still wants to see what Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa and others do, and the army will stay in Jiuliguan for a few days." As for the two thieves Wang Duo and Tang Shiji, they can't set off any big storms, even if there are some blindless governors and general soldiers who respond to the two, it is fair to wipe them all out! ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei asked Cheng Shiyong to return to Yuan Mingxuan, continue to monitor the movements in various parts of Jiangnan, and bring the news back in time.

Cheng Shiyong did not stop after receiving the order, and left Jiuliguan with a team of men overnight, and rode towards the Huai River area.

Soon after another three days, a horse team composed of more than a dozen family members came to the vicinity of Jiuliguan and was captured by the night soldiers of the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion.

After interrogation, these family members claimed that they were sent by Ma Shiying, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, and that they needed to report important matters to the prince of Zhenguo in person.

After Liu Yunwei learned the news, he said to Lu Ying with a smile: "Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu can't sit still anymore, maybe Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi are also sending people here now." ”

Lu Ying laughed when she heard this, and said, "Then do you have a big brother?" ”

"See! Let's see how Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu are ready to choose! ”

Fifteen miles south of Jiuliguan, on a barren mountain, Shi Kefa walked in the barren grass with a few relatives who were exhausted. As early as ten days ago, after Shi Kefa managed to leave Nanjing City, he went to Yangzhou City, and after a short rest in the city, he was originally going to send a confidant family member to report to Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo. But on second thought, how can such a military affair be entrusted to a family member?

So, Shi Kefa made up his mind, took a few henchmen and family members out of Yangzhou City to the north, and hurried to meet the route of the Han Wei army's southward journey, and was actually preparing to report to Liu Yunwei in person.

Along the way, Shi Kefa received news from friends in the DPRK and China several times, learning that Wang Duo and Tang Shiji had begun to act, and some people with ill intentions in the provinces south of the Yangtze River had already responded with suspicions.

At the same time, Shi Kefa learned that Liu Yunwei, the Duke of Zhenguo, and nearly 100,000 Hanwei troops arrived in Jiu

Liguan. So, in order to hurry, Shi Kefa gave up the flat official road and carriage, took his family over the mountains and mountains, and took a shortcut towards Jiuliguan.

Shi Kefa saw that these elite and fierce iron horsemen were the soldiers of the Hanwei Army, and he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "This official is Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he has confidential matters to see the Duke of Zhenguo!" Hurry up and take the official forward! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers who did not collect at night stepped forward one after another, and after checking Shi Kefa's seal letter, they did not dare to slack off, so they left two soldiers who did not collect at night and slowly went back with a few Shi Kefa's families, and the remaining soldiers who did not collect at night took Shi Kefa himself and galloped towards Jiuliguan.

When Liu Yunwei heard that Shi Kefa had come in person, he was also secretly taken aback, and said to Lu Ying: "This Shi Kefa is really interesting, he actually came here in person?" Nanjing City is also hundreds or thousands of miles away from Jiuliguan, and he is really a weak scholar! ”

Lu Ying also said: "It seems that you really can't underestimate this Master Shi!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Kefa came to the lobby with a frosty face, and the whole person was already a little tired.

After seeing Liu Yunwei, Shi Kefa was very excited and said loudly: "Zhenguo Gong! Tang Shiji, the imperial envoy of the capital, and Wang Duo, a scholar, are contacting the garrisons and governors in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, preparing to raise troops to resist the Han Wei army. ”

Liu Yunwei looked at Shi Kefa, who was sincere and anxious, and was also very moved in his heart, and said, "Master Shi, don't be impatient, sit down and rest first." What the rebel thief Wang Duo and Tang Shiji did, my father has already learned. Master Shi can rest assured that the two thieves can't set off any big storms, and the situation is completely under the control of the father! ”

"What! Zhen Guogong has already learned the news? ”

Shi Kefa's face was incredible, and he looked at Liu Yunwei with confidence in a daze.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Lord Shi, just before, Ma Shiying, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, have sent someone to send a letter, and then Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has also sent a handwritten letter, and the three adults have already informed the father of what Wang Duo and Tang Shiji have done. ”

After hearing this, Shi Kefa smiled dumbly and said: "I thought that I was the only one who was worried about the situation, and I did not hesitate to come to deliver the letter in person, but I didn't expect that all the adults had already sent the news. I don't know where the three adults are now, are they still in the city of Nanjing? ”

"Master Gao and Master Ma have taken the opportunity to leave Nanjing City and are now in Suzhou City; Mr. Qian is still in Nanjing, and it is believed that Mr. Qian has closed his doors and stopped asking about the world. ”

Shi Kefa didn't speak after listening, just sat on the side and sighed secretly.

After a while, Shi Kefa suddenly raised his head and asked: "Zhen Guogong, now that the situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more tense, Your Majesty is also waiting for the good news of Zhen Guogong, I don't know what Zhen Guogong plans to do, when he is going to go south, and then I will ask Zhen Guogong to take the common people as his own responsibility and not kill too much!" ”

Liu Yunwei said with a straight face when he heard this: "Master Shi, don't worry, my father will go south early tomorrow morning." As for whether Ben Gong killed too much, it was not in Ben Gong, but in how those Donglin rebels decided! ”
