"Xiaosheng, you're still so loose and crazy!"

Unlike others, Zhang Zilie, who has always been dignified and cautious, felt slightly dissatisfied, and said to him in a complaining tone: "What time is it!" ”

"When?" Gong Dingyu smiled and said, "Very good! My brother went all the way south, and there were gentry everywhere who killed the magistrates stationed in the army, drove away the army of thieves, passed through Texas, and went all the way to Su and Xu, and all of them were under the heavens. In the area of the two rivers, I heard that it is also the same. The overall situation is so good, shouldn't my brother be happy? ”

He has been staying in Yanjing, from the invasion of the army into the city to the entry of the Qing army, he has experienced it personally. When everyone heard him talk about this topic, of course they were very interested, and Mao Xiang tried his best to be very serious, and he couldn't help but come forward to inquire.

"It's hard to put into words!"

To everyone's words, Gong Dingyu didn't know how to answer!

There are so many things that don't make sense for a while.

On the Nandu side, of course, he has always been concerned. After Chongzhen successfully got out of the city, the minds of the ministers who stayed in the city were not as rigid as before. I thought that the Ming Qi was finished and the new dynasty was decided, but now it seems that things are really not certain.

This is evident from the fact that many officials who have fallen below the university have secretly gone south.

Then the army regarded the ministers as slaves, escorted them in and out, whipped and reprimanded, and even more let people know that this so-called new dynasty, which was dominated by peasant troops, was far from being a qualified political power.

came down again to force the stolen goods to help the salary, and the souls of the officials in the city who were beaten with 5,000 sticks were scattered, and in addition to fear, they added to their hatred.

It was at this time that Gong Dingyu deeply regretted that he did not follow the prince south with Chen Mingxia, but he has always been an open-minded person and very lazy, although he regretted it, he did not take the risk to go south early.

When the Qing army entered the city, this alien race showed obvious ambition to unify the rivers and mountains in the mixed Yuan Yu, Gong Dingyu somehow, remembered the warning of Li Gong and others at the beginning, and then thought about Chen Mingxia's pride after going south, this time, he was no longer willing to surrender!

So decided to go south, just a few days after the Qing army entered the city, the Eight Banners were stationed separately, and Gong Dingyu's old house was not kept, and not only that, from the moment they moved out, the Eight Banners were stationed separately, and the Han people, whether they were officials or ordinary people, had to be guaranteed if they wanted to enter the inner city, or they had official errands, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter the inner city.

In those few days, the Qing army originally said that there was no crime in the autumn, but ordinary people, where can they easily abandon the houses handed down by their ancestors?

So he was scolded and whipped, and then swords and guns were used together, and under the slaughter, of course, things were much easier.

Within a few days, all the people in the inner city were moved out and moved cleanly!

Gong Dingyu saw with his own eyes that when he moved somewhere, he first picked the toughest family, regardless of the old and the young, and killed all of them on the spot. When the heads were rolling and the blood was flowing, the captives who only kept a money rat tail laughed and laughed with each other in the Yi language that the Han people could not understand.

Such a violent and cruel act, of course, frightened the residents of the capital, and when the Gong family left the city, there was no Han family living in the inner city!

Then I saw with my own eyes that Wu Sangui's Liao soldiers were also stationed in the city, and the whole army had already shaved their heads, including Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Gao Di and other general officers, all of them had already surrendered.

When he arrived in Huai'an and heard the news of the new Nandu, he realized that all the bigwigs in the DPRK and China had such unrealistic ideas as the so-called borrowing and stealing thieves.

The master who stayed in Beijing shaved his hair and served the captives, which was not what he wanted.

And among the southern capitals, there seems to be no one who is sober-minded.

There is no way back, and there is no way forward, so when I see the friends of the Restoration Society, I will deliberately make a crazy attitude, just to hide the panic in my heart.

Besides, he also heard a lot of news in Huai'an, the big man in the DPRK and China, quite a plan to treat the newly returned officials from the south, so that the future is uncertain after he returns, and he may even be imprisoned!

From this point alone, he felt that Da Ming Qi still didn't seem to be very optimistic...... When everyone saw that he was speechless, they also felt strange, and immediately took the liberty of interrupting: "Xiaosheng, what about Gu Hengbo?" ”

"Oh, that's it...... Isn't that it? ”

Gong Dingyu and Gu Mei are the most compatible couple in the Restoration Society, they respect each other like guests, although they are not in the main room, but they are just like the main room, Gong loves Gu Mei as if he is surnamed life, this time he stayed in the north and did not return to the south, Gu Mei did not want to do much, which is a very important reason.

However, in the end, it is back.

Gu Mei, who moved to the bow of the boat, saw that everyone in front of him was also familiar acquaintances who could not be more familiar, so he held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and when he looked at everyone, he smiled first.

"Huo!" This time, even Zhang Zilie, who has always been a little old-fashioned, said: "Gu Hengbo's bright color is still the same, filial piety, no wonder you are nesting in the north and refuse to come back!" ”

"Ahem, don't mention it."

This matter is really a bit disgraceful, and Gong Dingyu didn't want to mention it more, so he smiled at everyone at the moment: "How is it, where are you going now?" By the way, how about entrusting you to find a house for me? ”

"Just across the street from my house, it has already cost one hundred and twenty taels to come down, the furniture is ready-made, and there are a few subordinates, you and Gu Hengbo can move in with their luggage."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Mei had already come down, and when he heard it closely, he also smiled and said: "My wife and I will entrust you first when they arrive in Huai'an, and sure enough, they still trust the right person!" Of course, all of you are friends, I think I will go back now, I will cook a few side dishes myself, please drink a few cups. ”

Gu Mei's poems or something, no worse than Liu Ru is them, and the one-handed side dishes in the kitchen, it is not comparable to Liu Ru is and others, that is, Kou Baimen is still different.

Listening to her words, several people present were smiling, and they were about to agree, but Zhang Zilie frowned, shook his head and said, "It's not right now, it's almost the same as changing it to night." ”

"That's right!" Mao Xiang also said: "I really don't have any kung fu now." ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Mei said angrily: "I still want to see Xiaowan and them." ”

Speaking of this, Mao Xiang's expression is a little unnatural, Dong Xiaowan and Kou Baimen were rescued after a night's delay, and there are quite a few gossips in the Restoration Society, of course, Dong Xiaowan has never been humiliated, but this matter is very peculiar, even he himself has a sense of disbelief, and it is difficult to convince others.

Of course, Zhang Zilie knew the psychology of the presumption, so he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince swears to the Northern Expedition and will take the pro-army out of the city today. ”

"Oh, I've heard about this in Huaishang!"

Hearing this, Gong Dingyu was also very energetic, and laughed: "There has been a lot of movement in Huai'an, the generalissimo's mansion camp is built on the Qingjiangpu side, I heard that there is a big school field, military camp, but I have never had time to see, I don't know how." Now that the crown prince is swearing to the army, is he going to send troops to break through, or is there any new way to say anything about the arrangement of thieves? ”

Zhang Zilie shook his head and said with a smile: "Now Shi Gong almost doesn't care about military affairs, and in the cabinet, in military affairs, it is just a transfer." Oh, only Gao Gong's household responsibility lies, and there is a little bit of involvement. Now the household department allocates grain, gunpowder and other military supplies, all of which are going to Huai, and it seems that the prince intends to train a group of soldiers in Huai'an first, stabilize the Huaixu area, and then make progress. Now the cabinet and the household department are hoping that the prince can lead his troops to the Taiping and Luzhou areas, and Zuozhen, and take back the four mansions of Xiangyang first. ”

"So?"

Hearing this, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China were afraid of the main force of the invasion army, and secondly, they were afraid of angering the Eastern Captives, so what they must be thinking about now is to borrow their teachers to help suppress them, and then give them heavy money in exchange for the retreat of the Eastern Captives, just like the Tang Dynasty borrowed the Shatuo soldiers and the Uighur soldiers. Therefore, at the critical moment, we must not go north.

The army is not very strong in Hubei, but it occupies important four prefectures in Hubei, Zuo Liangyu's army is very strong, and if the prince goes to Huguang, he may achieve considerable results.

Such a weak and incompetent philistine idea came out of Zhang Zilie's mouth, and it can only be said that this is also the idea of Shi Kefa, who is like the Great Wall and regards it as a celestial man.

At this time, Shi Kefa and others actually have such naïve ideas, which is really regrettable!

Gong Dingyu didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he only smiled faintly and said: "Now Li Zicheng's division has retreated to Shanxi, but I don't think Dongyu will stop him, and he will continue to pursue for ten days and a half at most." Rebellion is really no longer a threat, as for the thief, the pattern has always been better than the one. At this time, Dongyu may be a strong enemy of life and death. ”

"Xiaosheng, you have to be cautious about such a big thing."

Zhang Zilie was in the Shi Kefa shogunate, and he was more respected by Shi Kefa than Mao Xiang, so he was very clear about some inside information.

Gong Dingyu is now difficult to protect himself, and he has to work hard for him to say that at this time, it is very unwise to say things that make the bigwigs unhappy.

As soon as he said this, Gong Dingyu was also very unhappy in his heart, and it was very unwise to quarrel when he first met. But if you have something in your heart, it is like a bone spur in your throat, and it is very uncomfortable to hold back and not say it.

At this time, he missed Chen Mingxia, when he was in Huaishang, Chen Mingxia had a short conversation with him, and he didn't talk much, but he was very clear about the general trend, and Gong Dingxiao was also very excited at that time, and felt that there was still something to be done.

However, when he first arrived in Nanjing, he was very uncomfortable with a basin of ice water on his head.

"Alright, let's not delay here!"

In the end, Gu Mei was very refreshing, and she couldn't be clearer when she saw everyone's somewhat embarrassed appearance, especially her husband, who was uneasy and pretended to be crazy.

Since she had hidden worries and no taste to go back, she directly proposed: "How can you turn a blind eye to such a major event in front of you, my husband and wife, and I will also go with you to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and swear to become an army, that is." ”
