A month and a half ago, Shi Kefa led the army into King Qin, and when the army arrived in Suzhou, there was news that the Beijing division had fallen and that Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, had been "secretly killed" by Li Zicheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this way, the emperor is gone, and it is unrealistic to go north to King Qin, Shi Kefa originally wanted to garrison the army in situ, on the one hand, for Zhu Youzhen's funeral, and on the other hand, to reorganize the army to prevent the Dashun army from going south.

However, Shi Kefa only stayed in Suzhou for more than ten days, and then received documents from Zhang Shenyan, Lu Daqi, Jiang Yueguang and others, these Donglin Party members, wanted to support Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, as the new monarch.

However, Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, secretly consulted with Ruan Dacheng and advocated the establishment of Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu.

Shi Kefa did not want King Fu to succeed to the throne, so he informed them of Zhu Yousong's seven shortcomings, and on the grounds that the prince's life and death were unknown, he also rejected the proposal to support King Lu's succession, and said that King Lu could supervise the country, but could not ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.

Zhang Shenyan and others belonged to the Donglin Party forces, and in the late Ming Dynasty, almost all the generals wanted to suppress the Donglin Party to a greater or lesser extent, and Shi Kefa was naturally no exception.

Shi Kefa is still maneuvering here, but Ma Shiying has already sent troops to escort King Fu to Nanjing with Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie and others, and refuted Shi Kefa on the grounds that the country cannot be without a king for a day.

Due to the overall situation and the crisis of the upright country, Shi Kefa knew that the generals could not make too much trouble among themselves, so he had to lead his troops back to Nanjing, and promised to support King Lifu to ascend the throne.

Knowing that Shi Kefa was back, Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, personally led hundreds of officials to meet him ten miles out of the city.

When the people in the city learned of this news, they naturally went out of the city to see the excitement, and as a result, the welcome battle organized by Zhu Yousong was several times larger again.

At the same time, twenty miles outside the city, a man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, accompanied by a small group of Ming soldiers and four brocade guards, stopped Shi Kefa's team.........

"What's going on with this Shi Kefa? Didn't you say you could arrive at noon? It's been an hour, why haven't you even seen a figure? Gao Jie, who was standing next to Zhu Yousong and waiting, couldn't help but complain.

"It's okay, Lord Shangshu is traveling for a long time, and a little delay won't get in the way." Zhu Yousong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and he Shi Kefa was even late for the audience, this is simply self-respecting!" Ma Shiying, on the other side, also began to blow the wind in his ears.

Now that Zhu Yousong has not ascended the throne, these people are called the emperor one by one, and they also unanimously suppressed Shi Kefa externally.

There is no other reason, the position of the cabinet of the DPRK and China is still vacant, and how to divide this official position and how to divide the military power needs to be arranged after Zhu Yousong ascends the throne.

Shi Kefa's power is too great, and the new cabinet will definitely have a place for the other party, but if Zhu Yousong has a good relationship with Shi Kefa, and all the officials on Shi Kefa's side are appointed, and the rest of their generals are in the court, there is really no status at all.

To put it bluntly, Ma Shiying and others are a group of local warlords, and now that the Beijing division has been broken, the political center of the Ming Dynasty has shifted to Nanjing, and the local warlords want to take this opportunity to enter the central power.

belittling Shi Kefa is just enough for Zhu Yousong to create a gap between him, so that Ma Shiying and others can compete with Shi Kefa in the court.

Just when Ma Shiying and others gave the Fuwang Zhu Yousong eye medicine, a large group of soldiers and horses appeared in the distance, roughly estimated, about 2,000 people, and on the carriage at the head, there was a military flag, which was embroidered with a big "history" character.

"Shi Kefa has finally arrived, right........... What is he trying to do? Do you need to bring so many troops to meet the emperor? Looking at the long marching procession, Ma Shiying sensed that something was wrong.

Since ancient times, even if it is a triumphant general, before entering the city, a large number of troops will be stationed fifty miles outside the city, and the army accompanying the city can not exceed five hundred, if you enter the palace to meet the emperor, the entourage can not exceed ten people, and those entourages can not carry weapons, can only wait outside the palace.

But this is already the boundary of ten miles outside the city, the other party not only did not stop, but also came straight towards Zhu Yousong with a heavily armed army.

"Array! Alert! Gao Jie reacted quickly and ordered the soldiers on the side to go into a state of alert.

In the face of Shi Kefa's army, he has hundreds of city guards here, but he doesn't dare to say the word to meet the enemy, at most he is just on guard.

As for the Fuwang Zhu Yousong, his legs were so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out, if it wasn't for someone next to him to help him, he would probably be paralyzed at this time.

And the people who watched the excitement around him, how could he have seen such a formation, except for a few who were more courageous and retreated to a mile to look, the rest of the people were frightened and scattered.

Fortunately, Shi Kefa's army did not charge, but stopped a stone's throw away from Zhu Yousong.

The place of one arrow refers to the distance shot with a bow and arrow, about 180 meters, although this distance is very close, but it is just outside the range of the shot, so you don't have to worry about the opponent releasing cold arrows.

The army stopped, and the queue in the middle slowly separated, and a middle-aged man wearing a black veil, a scarlet robe, and a rhino horn belt around his waist, rode a brown war horse, and slowly came to ten meters in front of Zhu Yousong.

"Shi Kefa, what do you mean, do you want to rebel?" Seeing that the army in front stopped, Shi Kefa stepped forward alone, Ma Shiying was much bolder, and immediately buckled down a big hat.

"Ministers are loyal to the country and dare not rebel." Shi Kefa didn't hesitate.

"In that case, why didn't you get off your horse and bow down when you saw the Holy One?" Ma Shiying asked loudly.

Shi Kefa has already come to the front, as long as Ma Shiying gives an order, he can capture him, so he has the confidence to speak at this time.

Shi Kefa raised his hands above his head, and bowed his hands respectfully towards the rear military formation, and then said: "Joke, there is only King Fu in front of me, how can I come to the Holy One?" What's more, there is an order from the Holy Father, I don't need to bow down to the blessed king today! ”

"You......... Okay, you Shi Kefa, didn't we discuss it a long time ago and support King Fu to ascend the throne? How can you repent, and privately support King Lu as the emperor, you ........ You're a traitor! Ma Shiying said angrily.

At the beginning, there were only two candidates for the throne, one was Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, and the other was Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu.

Since Shi Kefa does not agree with King Fu to ascend the throne, and he also salutes the rear army in public, it is obvious that there is still a master in the rear, and this so-called "main master" is very likely to be the defeated King Lu Zhu Changshu in Ma Shiying's view.

But at this moment, a sharp voice came from the military formation: "Bold! In the Great Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen is here, and you dare to talk about setting up a new master, is this a rebellion? ”

Ma Shiying opened his mouth to rebel and closed his mouth to rebel, Wang Chengen, who was in the military formation, finally couldn't help but interject, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he charged Ma Shiying and others with rebellion.
