At the end of October in the third year of Chongzhen (the third year of Tiancong in the Manchu Dynasty), Nanjing City, Juxian Building.

In the private room, Ma Shiying, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Inspection Academy, 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, Wang Duo, a university scholar, and other major Donglin Party officials gathered here.

After a long time, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said loudly: "Your Majesty has issued an order to reward Liu Yunwei, the commander of the army, as the prince of Zhenguo, and the more than 100,000 troops of the Hanwei army will go south to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days!" Ladies and gentlemen, thousands of people in my Donglin Xianchen are alive or dead, but it is just between your thoughts! ”

Gao Hongtu, the head of the household department, also said: "Everyone, the prince of Zhenguo did not hesitate to kill this time, one is to seize power in the court, the other is to loot the wealth of hundreds of officials, and his wolf ambition can be said to be obvious, we must unite as one, build the land south of the Yangtze River into an iron wall, and confront the prince of Zhenguo, then His Majesty will definitely wake up and order to stop this catastrophe!" ”

Ma Shiying, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, shook his head and said, "The two of you are too optimistic. ”

After speaking, Ma Shiying shook a copy of the document in his hand and said: "This is a document drafted by the Duke of Zhenguo and widely distributed all over the world, saying that my Donglin Xianchen has become a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people!" Now the entire Ming Dynasty has fallen into a boil, and the people in the market have hated my Donglin Xianchen to the core, and the governors and general soldiers in various places are also stopping to wait and see, and the prospects of our waiting are not optimistic! ”

Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sighed and said, "Moreover, Zhen Guogong also made a very detailed list based on our past actions. ”

Hearing this, everyone was moved and looked at Qian Qianyi.

"On this list, the vast majority of Donglin virtuous ministers in the provinces south of the Yangtze River can't escape the fate of a family raider, and some of the Donglin virtuous ministers are a little better, they can fall into the fate of a dismissal and return to their hometowns, and they can also be a rich man; Of the thousands of Donglin Xianchen in the land south of the Yangtze River, only a few dozen people can avoid the catastrophe! ”

Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi looked at the people present and said: "Among the virtuous ministers who have been spared from the catastrophe, there is Lord Shangshu Shi of the Military Department, and Lord Ma, the right imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Lord Shangshu of the Hubu and the old man can be a rich man, as for the Imperial Envoy Tang, the University Scholar Wang and thousands of Donglin Xianchen, it is inevitable that they will die and their families will be destroyed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different, except for the imperial envoy Tang Shiji and the university scholar Wang Duo, the rest of them were a little relaxed and slightly relieved.

Tang Shiji and Wang Duo glanced at each other, both of them already had hideous faces, and they seemed to be ready to break the net with Liu Yunwei.

Tang Shiji suddenly got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Donglin Xianchen, take the restoration of the country as my own responsibility and the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty as my purpose, so Liu Yunwei actually set the army into trouble and caused trouble to the country, it can really be said that it is an unforgivable sin!" We must not sit idly by, we should mobilize all the Donglin virtuous ministers in Jiangnan to collectively write a letter, write to His Majesty, and at the same time contact with the governors and commanders in all parts of Jiangnan, and unite the forces of the entire Jiangnan to confront Liu Yunwei! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Duo also said loudly: "We must lobby the governors of various places as soon as possible, gather troops and horses, allocate grain and grass, and confront the Hanwei army led by Liu Yunwei and the Dangkou camp across the Yangtze River!" ”

The voice is just right

fell, Shi Kefa was very dissatisfied and said: "Lord Wang! Now that the Ming Dynasty has just recovered the Liaodong Dusi and the Nuer Gandu Division, the country has been greatly injured, and now that the war has finally subsided, do you want to gather the provinces and towns in the south of the Yangtze River to completely tear your face? ”

Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu also objected, and the two thought that according to Wang Duo's countermeasures, the current situation would not only not have the slightest turnaround, but also fall into a dangerous situation of confrontation between the north and the south.

Ma Shiying said loudly: "If the governors and general soldiers in various places really start to transfer troops, where will Your Majesty and the imperial court be placed!" We will be sinners through the ages! ”

Wang Duo looked at the impassioned Ma Shiying, Gao Hongtu, and Shi Kefa, and then looked at Qian Qianyi, who bowed his head and was silent, and said with a sneer: "Yes, of course, you adults can not be in a hurry, and slowly think of countermeasures, after all, you adults don't have to die and die!" Master Tang and I don't have a few days to live! ”

Tang Shiji also said with a hideous face at this time: "Since we can't survive, where do we still have the heart to care about Daming?" Let's also pull up a large army to defend the Yangtze River, I want to see how Liu Yunwei crosses the Yangtze River! ”

"Smack!"

Shi Kefa slapped the table and shouted: "What nonsense! Tang Shiji! How can you say such fatherless and kingless words! ”

Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu also frowned, and said coldly: "Lord Tang! Be careful! ”

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi hesitated for a moment and said, "I see that everyone is already very tired today, so let's discuss here first, and then we will discuss it in the future, what do you think?" ”

Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu glanced at each other, nodded, and then hugged their fists at everyone and left together.

Shi Kefa glared at Tang Shiji and Wang Duo fiercely, and said, "The two adults are so self-sufficient!" ”

After saying that, Shi Kefa walked away.

Qian Qianyi originally wanted to say something before leaving, but looking at Tang Shiji and Wang Duo's absent-minded appearances, as well as angry looks, he swallowed his words back, hugged his fists and left.

In the blink of an eye, only Tang Shiji and Wang Duo were left in the entire private room, and after the two sat for a long time, Wang Duo said fiercely: "Lord Tang, I will go back and write the text now, and then send it all over the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, calling on all the virtuous ministers of Donglin to go to the righteous deed, what do you think?" ”

Tang Shiji nodded heavily and said, "That's very good!" It's just that Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi and others are no longer useful, and the two of us lack prestige, so it seems that we need to find another leader! ”

Wang Duo thought for a while, and then said, "How is Hou Xun!" ”

"Him?"

Tang Shiji frowned and said: "Hou Xun has no evil deeds on weekdays, and it is estimated that Liu Yunwei will not be too embarrassed by him, so will Hou Xun agree?" ”

Wang Duo whispered: "I heard that Hou Xun's son Hou Fangyu has a bad record!" When I heard that the imperial court was defeated by the Manchu Qing several times, Nahou Fangyu said everywhere that the Manchu Qing would break through sooner or later, and everyone could make plans in advance! ”

"And such a thing?"

Tang Shiji asked in disbelief, you must know that Hou Xun's reputation is very good, and even Hou Fangyu's reputation is not small, who knew that he was this kind of person?

"Of course!"

Wang Duo sneered and said, "The golden jade is just ruined on the outside!" With this level of relationship, you are not afraid that Hou will not commit it! ”

Tang Shiji was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "In this way, things can still be done!" You and I act separately, you go to lobby Hou Xun, and I will be responsible for the affairs of the text! The life and death and glory we are waiting for are here! ”

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

After Gao Hongtu and Ma Shiying left Juxian Tower, the two traveled all the way in the same carriage, and they were very worried about the words and deeds of Wang Duo and Tang Shiji.

Gao Hongtu thinks that the two will definitely not give up, and will definitely make waves, and the situation in Daming will definitely change at that time!

Ma Shiying thought the same, so he said: "We might as well get in touch with Zhen Guogong as soon as possible and tell the truth about the plans of the two!" ”

Gao Hongtu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "In this way, I am afraid that you and I will have nowhere to stand in the officialdom in the future!" ”

"Haven't you understood yet? In the future court, it will be Wuxun who will prevail, and it will be the princess of Zhenguo, as long as you and I hold the thighs of Zhenguogong, will there be no good way out? ”

After speaking, Gao Hongtu and Ma Shiying looked at each other and smiled, and stopped talking.

Qian Fu.

After Qian Qianyi returned to the mansion late at night, he locked himself in the study. Thinking about tonight's events, Qian Qianyi's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he couldn't stop sighing.

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings! Looks like I'm going to have to make a move sooner rather than later. Perhaps, if you bet on the right treasure this time, you don't have to be a rich man anymore! ”

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi cheered up, picked up the pen and began to write.

At the same time, when Shi Kefa returned home angrily, he also locked himself in the study like Qian Qianyi, and kept walking around in the study.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Kefa suddenly thought: "If Tang Shiji and Wang Duo really do this thing against the sky, then it won't be long before all parts of Jiangnan will be in chaos, and most of me will be blocked in Nanjing City by then!" It seems that this Nanjing City can't stay any longer, and it is necessary to go to Jiangbei, so as to contact Zhenguo Gong in time, so as not to miss a major event! ”

Thinking of this, Shi Kefa packed up overnight, called his family to prepare the carriage and horses, and the group went out of the house in the second half of the night, heading towards a side gate in Nanjing City, after spending ten taels of silver, Shi Kefa and his party went out of Nanjing City and walked towards the Quarry Rock area.

Two days later, Wang Duo hurriedly came to Tang Shiji's mansion, and as soon as he saw Tang Shiji, he said loudly: "It's a big deal!" Zhen Guogong has already led the Hanwei army south, and now the army has arrived in Henan! ”

"What! So fast! ”

Tang Shiji looked at Wang Duo in horror and asked, "Where are Ma Shiying, Gao Hongtu, Shi Kefa, and Qian Qianyi?" ”

Qian Qianyi closed the door at home, and the rest of the people have disappeared! Most of them fled and reported to Liu Yunwei! ”

"Rebels and thieves!"

Tang Shiji gritted his teeth and said: "Then it is estimated that it will take more than 20 days for Liu Yunwei to lead the army to Jiangbei, we must speed up, and we must gather as many soldiers and horses as possible and raise money and food within 15 days!" ”

Wang Duo nodded heavily and said fiercely: "Okay! Life and death in one fell swoop! ”
