After Zhu Hongsan saw that Feng Ruoshu had finished speaking about the imperial court sending an envoy to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he suddenly remembered that he saw the young man Zhang Jiayu on the dock, and Zhu Hongsan asked, "What is the origin of that Zhang Jiayu?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "He is very big, he is the champion of the sixteenth year palace test of Chongzhen, and then he was selected as a Shujishi." However, after the destruction of the capital city, he took the initiative to submit a letter to Li Zicheng, expressing his willingness to serve the rebel army. Then he saw that Li Zicheng was defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and went south to Nanzhili to get a half-official position. The minister of the DPRK and China was going to send him to prison, but he didn't expect him to use the silver, and in the end he would never use it. When he saw the old man going south to Guangdong, he had to go with him, and it was better for such a villain to stay away from him. ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard it, Zhang Jiayu knew that "Lingnan Sanzhong" was the one who was sawed by Tong Yangjia. I didn't expect the character to be very good.

Zhu Hongsan didn't think about it carefully, when he came to this era, what he heard and saw was too different from what he knew before. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan now looks at historical figures from his own eyes, and he really can't believe the various statements in his previous life.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Uncle, has the imperial court begun to act against the officials who went south?" ”

Feng Ruoshu was stunned for a moment and said, "How does the lord know?" This was only brought up by Ruan Dacheng the day before I left. ”

Zhu Hongsan dared to say that he got it from reading historical novels, and hurriedly explained: "Now that the positions in the court are full, the officials who go south are the steamed buns of those who have vested interests (there is no cake in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan is in a hurry to replace them with steamed buns), can these Donglin stirring sticks spare them?" ”

Feng Ruoshu sighed and said: "It seems that Nan Zhili is really hopeless, even an outsider like you can see it, but your vested interest is too good." However, it was not initiated by the Donglin Party, it was initiated by Ruan Dacheng, and he also named it, these officials who went south because of their surrender "pseudo-shun", so Ruan Dacheng set a plan for them. ”

Speaking of Nanming's "Shun case", we have to start with the unlucky ghost Zhou Zhong.

This Zhou Zhong is not an ordinary person, he is a native of Jintan, Changzhou Mansion, Nanzhili. Zhou's family from Wanli to Chongzhen, first Zhou Yingqiu, Zhou Tingshi, Zhou Taizhi, Zhou maintained as Jinshi, and then Zhou Bi, Zhou Quan, Zhou Zhong as Jinshi, two generations of seven Jinshi, this is quite awesome, in the south is a prominent family.

But Zhou Yingqiu's reputation was not good, and during the Apocalypse, he took refuge in Wei Zhongxian to make the imperial history of Zuodu, and was the head of the "Ten Dogs" under his disciple.

His family's cook was good at simmering pig's trotters, while Wei Zhongxian's nephew, Wei Liangqing, was fond of simmering hooves. Whenever Wei Liangqing came to his house, he would be entertained with simmering hooves, which won Wei Liangqing's favor, and people ridiculed Zhou Yingqiu as "the general constitution of simmering hooves".

Relying on this "simmering" relationship, Zhou Yingqiu later obtained the important position of the secretary of the ministry and controlled the election. After the fall of Wei Zhongxian, Zhou Yingqiu was sent to the army. His younger brother Zhou maintained that he was supervising the imperial history and Zhejiang patrol, and returned to the eunuch party with his brother, and asked for the destruction of the world's academy (this is really a typical example of scolding the cook after eating enough, and beating the monk after reading the scriptures), and was later included in the "reverse case" and punished.

On 29 April, Li Zicheng led his troops to retreat westward, leaving the city of Beijing, which had only been occupied for 40 days. On the second day of the fifth month, the Qing army entered Beijing, and some former Ming officials who had defected to Li Zicheng's Dashun regime also absconded back to the south. Among them, there is a Ji Shi Zhou Zhong.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Zhong was admitted to the Jinshi, and later entered the Hanlin Academy, and originally wanted to show his ambitions. Unexpectedly, at this time, the court was worried about internal and external troubles, and Zhou Zhong was not reused.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army occupied Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself, and some Ming Dynasty officials who did not flee committed suicide and martyrdom, but there were still many officials who took refuge in Li Zicheng.

Zhou Zhong saw the last person he should see in the crowd waiting for distribution outside the noon gate, which was Li Zicheng's military advisor Niu Jinxing. Niu Jinxing has known Zhou Zhong for a long time and admires Zhou Zhong's talent very much.

Niu Jinxing recommended Zhou Zhong to Li Zicheng and awarded the Hongwen Museum for review. Zhou Zhong also drafted an edict for Li Zicheng's accession to the throne, which cost him his life. Li Zicheng withdrew to Beijing, and Zhou Zhong fled back to Jiangnan.

And Zhou Zhong has a cousin named Zhou Bi, this Zhou Bi and a group of scholars in the Fushe have a good relationship, when Zhou Yanru wanted to reuse the silver Ruan Dacheng, it was this Zhou Bi who rushed over to persuade Zhou Yanru not to use Ruan Dacheng.

After the news was known by the villain Ruan Dacheng, he hated Zhou Bi very much, but there was no way at that time. Ruan Dacheng's home was burned down by the people of the Restoration Society, and he dared to take revenge, so he had to run out of Nanjing to live in seclusion in the mountains and become Ruan's village husband.

Unexpectedly, the mountains and rivers took turns, Chongzhen in Beijing hanged himself, and Ruan Dacheng's good buddy Ma Shiying came out as the first assistant. Ma Shiying is also very interesting, and the first thing he did when he was the first assistant was to recommend Ruan Dacheng.

Later history books used this incident to say that Ma Shiying was a traitor, but the author disagreed. The entire Hongguang Imperial Court is a member of the Donglin Party, and Ma Shiying can't do it if he wants to do something without his own. At this time, recommending his benefactor Ruan Dacheng can also be explained.

But Ruan Dacheng is a real villain, the first thing he did when he came out of the mountain immediately fired at the Donglin Party, and he took Zhou Zhong to write an edict to Li Zicheng to start expanding, wanting to bring the Fushe and even the entire Donglin Party in.

This "shun case" has made it impossible for the eunuch party and the Donglin party to ease up, and it cannot be ended without fighting to break the net. Next, it is logical, in order to rescue the colleagues of the Fushe and the Donglin Party, Hou Fangyu went to Wuchang to find Zuo Liangyu, the concubine of his father Hou Sui.

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he would be able to live a "Qingjun side" addiction, plus he happened to be unable to defeat Bai Wang's 70,000 Dashun army in Wuchang. Hearing Hou Fangyu say this, he immediately led hundreds of thousands of people south to Nanjing (hundreds of thousands of people can't beat 70,000 people, and this combat effectiveness is okay).

In order to defend Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying transferred Huang Degong, who was supposed to guard against the Manchu Qing in the north, to open the Yangtze River defense line. The Qing army took the opportunity to move south and hit the city of Nanjing, and the Hongguang Dynasty perished.

Therefore, the Hongguang Dynasty has only existed for one year, and this Ruan Dacheng is the culprit.

After listening to Feng Ruoshu's story about Nanjing, Zhu Hongsan sighed and thought: "It is really unreasonable for this Nanming to be like this and not die, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di can't be suppressed, not to mention Zhu Yousong, who is just a middle-aged person, it seems that he should also go south to prepare early." ”

Zhu Hongsan saw that it was getting late, and said, "Uncle, it's getting late, let's go back to the inn to rest." Tomorrow in Yangzhou for two days of rest, how about we set off? ”

Feng Ruoshu nodded and said, "Okay, everything is up to the lord." ”

After speaking, Zhu Hongsan got up and gave the guy ten taels of silver, and the two went downstairs and went back to the inn with the guy's great gratitude.

On the third day of the second day, Feng Ruoshu took his wife Chen to visit Hangzhou, but Zhu Hongsan did not follow, he wanted to prepare things for a long trip. This time it is not easier to go south than the last time from Huguang to the south, and it is also a large group of men and women. So there are too many things to prepare, and the 30,000 taels of silver contributed by Qian Qianyi also cost more than 10,000 taels.

Finally, on 15 June, Zhu Hongsan and his entourage of nearly 3,000 people abandoned the boat from Hangzhou and landed and began to head south. The route prepared by Zhu Hongsan crossed the Qiantang River from Hangzhou, passed through Zhuji, Jinhua, and Longyou into Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi, and entered Nanxiongfu in Guangdong through Fuzhou, Jianchang, and Ganzhou.

Although this road is much farther than passing through Fujian, the road is relatively smooth, and there are many places that can also be transported by water, that is, there are several mountains in Nan'an Province at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong, and other places are much easier to walk than the last time from Huguang to the south.

Zhu Hongsan expected to be able to rush to Guangdong in a month and a half this time, and he calculated the time, and when he arrived in Guangdong, it would be about August, and there would be half a year before the Qing army went south next year.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, if you can't do it, take your wife and children to the Philippines, now that place should be a place for Spanish people, can't you beat the Manchu pigtails with your own strength, and can't you kill the Spanish red-haired ghost?" Zhu Hongsan thought to himself.

Watching the team go out of the city gate of Hangzhou, Zhu Hongsan glanced at Hangzhou again, in another year, this place will be a sea of corpses and blood, seeing the busy people inside and outside the city, Zhu Hongsan really wanted to tell them that they should run.

But Zhu Hongsan knew that no one would believe what he said, but he would be laughed at, thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan sighed secretly, and thought in his heart: "The people are suffering and the people are suffering, there is no way, when will this kind of day be a head." ”
