21. Is it OK to blow up the Dog Emperor?
"Chen Shi Kefa led all his colleagues to welcome the holy decree!"
Unexpectedly, the holy decree came so quickly, Shi Kefa could only send people to summon Liu Zhaoji, Ma Yingkui, Zhuang Zigu, Shi Dewei and other military generals, and took Lin Yu, Yan Ermei, Hou Fangyu, Chen Yujie and others to greet the holy decree in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.
In order to show his affirmation of Yangzhou's victory, Zhu Youxiang sent the number one eunuch Han Zanzhou to announce the decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Since the Wanli period, Jiannu has repeatedly violated the territory of the Ming Dynasty, killed my people, kidnapped my people, and seized my territory......
My people of the Ming Dynasty fought back, but the Jiannu horses were quick and sharp, and they came and went, so that the Ming King lost many victories and won less, and was repeatedly bullied by Jiannu.
When the thieves rebelled, the exiles were coerced, the dynasty was troubled, and the internal and external difficulties of the Ming Dynasty were especially rampant, and the rebels Wu Sangui were colluded to capture the north// Beijing, all the way to the south, arrogant and arrogant, and very arrogant.
Supervisor Shi Kefa sat in Yangzhou to strategize and use troops in a good way; Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier, rushed to the aid alone, and his loyalty and righteousness were demonstrated; Garrisoning Lin Zhenjiang got the dream of Taizu, found an ironclad car, and hit the Tartars hard, which is a great merit and a model for all armies.
rewarded Shi Kefa with the title of Jing Zhongbo and Liu Zhaoji with the title of Yi Yongbo, hereditary replacement. Promote Lin Zhenjiang to the general army of Guangling, awarded the title of General Mingwei, and the military exploits of other soldiers were reported to the Ministry of War by Shi Kefa, and the meritorious deeds were rewarded. ”
After the decree was read, the whole hall congratulated Shi Kefa and the three of them, and everyone present was rejoicing. He also ordered Lin Yu to rush to the army and act according to the plan, so as not to be caught by others and make a big fuss.
As soon as Lin Yu, who was mixed with mixed feelings, walked out of the Governor's Mansion, a young staff member dressed in a straight dress chased after him: "Mr. Lin walks slowly!" ”
Lin Yu turned his head to see that it was Hou Fangyu who came, and he stopped and arched his hand: "I don't know what advice Hou Gongzi has?" ”
Hou Fangyu caught up with Lin Yu and walked side by side, and said in a low voice: "I have heard about your unauthorized change of the military system, and the superintendent summoned me, Mr. Yan, and Teacher Chen Yujie to the mansion early in the morning to discuss countermeasures, so as not to be framed by traitors." The idea of making you lie about being drunk and writing to the court to impeach yourself also came from Mr. Yan. ”
"It's me Lin Yu who is too reckless, and he only thinks about forming an iron-blooded hero, expelling the Tartars, and recovering the lost territory, but he forgets the imperial court system, and commits a big taboo, so he should be impeached in a book."
Although Lin Yu was a little unwilling in his heart, he could only make a review in front of Hou Fangyu.
Although he had a tank in hand, he didn't have enough foundation and strength, so Lin Yu could only temporarily bow his head and admit his mistake.
The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and only when he has his own army in the future can he have the capital to argue with the court about right and wrong.
"Mr. Lin beat the Tartars yesterday, how heroic, do you really want to admit your mistake to the imperial court?" Hou Fangyu had an uneven expression on his face.
Lin Yu was stunned: "Why did Hou Gongzi say this?" ”
Hou Fangyu said angrily: "Don't hide it from General Lin, Hou has long been dissatisfied with the system of the imperial court, the military household system is corrupt, the taxes are unfair, the eunuchs are autocratic, and the government is corrupt, which has led to thieves everywhere and fires everywhere."
If the Ming Dynasty wants to continue to maintain, it is necessary to reform not only the military system, but also the tax system and the bureaucratic system...... Only by making a thorough change can the Ming Dynasty be able to achieve phoenix nirvana and come back from the dead. ”
"Huh...... Hou Gongzi's words penetrated into the inside, and hit the nail on the head! ”
Lin Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But Lin is soft-spoken, and he is still too busy to protect himself, where does he have the ability to promote reform?" Aren't you going to go to the barracks to lie about being drunk and cancel last night's arrangement as instructed by the overseer! ”
Hou Fangyu continued to persuade bitterly: "Did General Lin ever think that if you did this, the prestige that you had just established in the army would inevitably disappear, so that the soldiers would think that you had gone back on your word and that your words didn't count?" ”
Lin Yu showed a depressed look: "Why is Lin willing to give up halfway and let some villains see my jokes?" It's just that the superintendent is right, if someone seizes this handle to impeach me, and the dismissal of the official is small, I am afraid that the superintendent will be affected. ”
Hou Fangyu smiled slightly, and encouraged: "If Zhu Youxiang really dares to treat the hero like this, then why should we protect him as a faint king?" ”
"Hou Gongzi's sympathy made Lin grateful, be careful that the wall has ears!" Lin Yu hurriedly made a silent gesture while turning his head to look around.
Hou Fangyu looked disdainful: "I, Hou Fangyu, dare to say these words even in front of the Manchu Dynasty, why be afraid?" The birds haven't been shot yet, does he Zhu Youxiang want to hide the good bow? ”
Hou Fangyu lowered his voice as he spoke, leaned into Lin Yu's ear and whispered: "Mr. Lin, Zhu Youxiang reuses traitors like Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, and he is a faint king!" You have an ironclad chariot in hand, and hundreds of thousands of Qing troops are not your opponents, so why should you be afraid of the Nanjing court, which only has 10,000 horses?
If Zhu Youxiang really dared to listen to the slanderous rumors of the crime of governing the general army of Lin, he simply drove an ironclad car to Nanjing City, crushed Zhu Youxiang and Ruan Dacheng, all the ministers who were in collusion, into meat sauce, and set up a new monarch to replace Ma Shiying, is it not Lin Zongbing who has the final say in this world? When the time comes, Wang Mang will still be the Duke of Zhou, and let Brother Lin be. ”
After listening to Hou Fangyu's words, Lin Yu's heart couldn't help but thump, and he was impressed by this scholar.
This is not just an angry youth, it is simply a reckless stunned youth, this Hou Gongzi is really bold!
It is not difficult to rush into the city of Nanjing with a tank, and it is not impossible to kill Zhu Youxiang with one shot, but then what?
No matter how incompetent Zhu Youxiang is, he is also the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandson of Emperor Wanli, and the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, and the emperor jointly elected by Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa and other Ming courtiers.
No matter how indestructible the Merkava tank is, you can't hide in it for the rest of your life, right?
What should I do if I eat, drink, or Lazar, do I marry a daughter-in-law, or have children? When the time comes, the spittle of the common people of the Ming Dynasty will not drown themselves?
Hou Fangyu saw that Lin Yu didn't speak, thinking that he was moved, and continued to persuade bitterly: "The little brother doesn't dare to say anything in the Restoration Society, but it also has a certain weight, as long as Brother Lin dares to resist the faint monarch and traitorous ministers, the younger brother is willing to lead everyone in the Restoration Society to follow!" ”
Lin Yu knew that it was easy to kill Zhu Youxiang and Ma Shiying, but if he wanted to gain a foothold in this troubled world, it was not easy to survive in the cracks of the Manchu Iron Hoof, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Nanming warlords, and he didn't have this strength now.
"Hou Gongzi may have drunk too much, please don't talk about this matter in the future, Lin will never mention it to a third person!"
Lin Yu arched his hand to Hou Fangyu, turned around and went straight to the stable, took his mount, and spurred his horse to gallop towards the military camp outside Yangzhou City.
Looking at the back of Lin Yu riding away from the horse, Hou Fangyu kept shaking his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this person doesn't have much guts, he wasted God's favor for him in vain, it's hard to make a big deal!" ”
The reason why he conspired with Lin Yu to rebel was that Hou Fangyu also had a selfish intention, that is, he wanted to get rid of Ruan Dacheng, the enemy, and snatch back his beloved Li Xiangjun.
As a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, Li Xiangjun met the high-spirited and well-dressed Hou Gongzi from the age of sixteen, and fell in love at first sight, and decided for life.
It's just that at this time, Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Sui, who used to worship the official and the head of the household, was in prison in Beijing, and Hou Gongzi, who hid in Nanjing for refuge, was shy, and had no money to redeem Li Xiangjun, so he could only write letters and exchange money.
Ruan Dacheng, who had already gained a firm foothold in Nanjing, in order to win over Hou Fangyu, borrowed the hand of Hou Fangyu's friend and gave him a sum of money to redeem Li Xiangjun.
Although Ruan Dacheng is famous and proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, he is also known for his despicable character.
Li Xiangjun learned that the money that Hou Fangyu ransomed for himself was given by Ruan Dacheng, so he immediately sold the jewelry, entrusted someone to return it to Ruan Dacheng, and strongly persuaded Hou Fangyu to break off relations with Ruan Dacheng, causing Ruan Dacheng to lose face and hold a grudge.
After Chongzhen's death, Zhu Youxiang ascended the throne to supervise the country, Ruan Dacheng made steady progress, and soon ascended to the high position of the squire of the military department, so he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to retaliate against Hou Fangyu.
Ruan Dacheng first instigated Tian Yang, the right deputy imperial envoy, to take the welcoming team to Li Xiangjun's residence to propose marriage, forcing Li Xiangjun to hit his head against the railing, splashing blood on the peach blossom fan, and forcing Tian Yang's welcoming team to retreat.
Ruan Dacheng couldn't make a plan again, and seized the opportunity to recommend Li Xiangjun to Zhu Youxiang, saying that she was excellent in singing and dancing, crowning Jinling, and recruited Li Xiangjun into the palace under the guise of a holy oracle, and arrested Hou Fangyu in the name of resisting the decree.
Hou Fangyu had no choice but to flee from Jinling, and came to Yangzhou to defect to Shi Kefa with his thoughts of Li Xiangjun.
