The meaning of Qian Qianyi's words is really clear, most of the departments in Nanjing are idle Cao, but although Xiancao is a "hidden official", his prestige and connections are there. Moreover, most of the entire south is controlled by the Donglin Party, and at least half of the local governors and the central government are Donglin or allies of the Donglin Party.

If you want to create public opinion, there are a large number of Donglin Party and Fushe in the locality, and the entire Jiangnan cultural context is in the hands of Donglin, if you want to say that the central authority is authoritative, Shi Kefa alone is enough to deserve it, if you talk about local strength, there are a large number of governors, and the important thing is that there are Liu Zeqing and Zuo Liangyu, two hardcore warlords who support the Donglin Party!

"Think again, think again......" Shi Kefa just groaned, wandering with his hands, unable to make up his mind for a while.

"Why bother thinking about it? Now that this has happened, is there anything else to say? ”

"Alas, I'm afraid that people won't be convinced."

"This ......"

After talking for a long time, I still went back and said that Qian Qianyi's face was like gold paper, and he couldn't wait to step forward and use the boss's ear scraper to smoke Shi Kefa. This person, why is he so indecisive!

"That's it," seeing that everyone didn't think so, Shi Kefa finally gave in and said: "I will write a letter to Ma Shiying first, saying that the king of Fu cannot stand, and then make an appointment with this person to discuss and discuss, everyone, what do you think?" ”

This is also a feasible method, although the Donglin Party is strong, but Zuo Liangyu is far away in Huguang, and is fighting with Li Zicheng's department, and he is in a hurry, and Liu Zeqing is a single force after all, Ma Shiying is the governor of Fengyang, who has a very important position in the governor, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Gao Jie are theoretically controlled by him, and now Gao Jie is under Sun Chuanting, and the movements of Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo are very eye-catching.

"Well, that's it." Gao Hongtu's heart is also very eager, what he hopes is to be pushed into the cabinet, and Qian Qianyi can take over his Shangshu position, so the two are very close allies, he stood up at the moment, and said coldly: "Don't delay, this is the first major thing in the world, and it is very important!" ”

"Of course, I'll write a letter when I get back."

"Then, I'll take my leave."

Everyone got up and said goodbye to each other, and no one else had much to say, only Qian Qianyi arrived at the door, turned his head and wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and didn't say anything.

He lived in Gao Hongtu's mansion, and when he arrived at the gate of the Shi Mansion, everyone came over in a sedan chair, said goodbye to each other, and waited for others to walk away, Qian Qianyi said to Gao Hongtu in front of the sedan chair: "Shi Dao is a slave in front of the sedan chair, I don't know how the emperor likes him, and tells him to stay in the southern capital!" ”

"This ......" Gao Hongtu saw that Qian Qianyi's eyes were very gloomy, and he was startled, and hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not going to be so bad, right?" ”

"Hmph, the emperor's temper, don't you know yet? He must have died in the capital by now. Not only did the emperor die himself, but it was impossible to let the prince out of Beijing, this is inevitable, and now Shi is still looking forward to the emperor going south, or the prince coming to supervise the country, it's all dizzy! Qian Qianyi was furious, and saliva splashed everywhere in his mouth: "This person is still hesitating now, not grabbing this great merit, isn't this a mediocre slave?" Now the center still has authority, he is the representative of this authority, he supports Lu and supports his own words, who dares to make any false fart? When all the places are moving and fighting with each other, what do I think he will do? If you can successfully establish the Lu Domain, you can still say that if someone preemptively establishes someone else, hmph, it will be embarrassing for the rich man! ”

After stomping his feet and scolding like this, Qian Qianyi felt calmer, and sneered at the stunned Gao Hongtu, and said, "See what good results he and Ma Yaocao can discuss?" After saying this, he turned around and got into the sedan chair, but when he was leaving, he still glanced at the gate of Shifu, and said hatefully in his heart: "Yongnu! ”

............ "Shi Kefa went to Pukou to meet with Ma Shiying?" ”

In a pavilion, several richly dressed middle-aged men are drinking wine, the dishes are clean, and the wine is also exuding aroma, and they know that it is very good wine when they smell it, but in front of the surrounding bamboo forest rockery, small streams, beautiful scenery and good food, and fine wine, several people are stopping their glasses and not drinking, just in a daze.

"Yes, the message is exact. Some people say that the emperor was martyred in the forbidden city, and several princes fell into the hands of thieves, and many people said that the emperor and the prince went out of the city from Chaoyang Gate and went to Tianjin by sea...... However, it is all nonsense, no one has seen it in person, and no one with weight has come out to speak, so it is not true now. ”

The one who spoke was a short and fat middle-aged man, with hanging eyebrows and triangular eyes, although his complexion was white, he looked a little sickly and unhealthy.

Beside this person, there were several big people who were like rich men with dough, all frowning intently, quietly listening to what the man was saying, and in the end, a middle-aged man with a very slippery face slapped his leg and shouted: "Isn't this damn Ma Yaocao able to intervene in the affairs of the center?" Stolin is crazy, isn't he? ”

"Mediocrity, it's just a wolf into the room!"

"Stupid, stupid."

The yin man who spoke before smiled, raised his glass and drank it, and said with a smile: "Shi Kefa is not stupid, in fact, this person is still talented, and he can't be completely wiped out." Otherwise, our Grandpa Wei would not have recommended him so much. ”

A fat man who had already made a fortune nodded slightly, but he looked distressed, looking at everyone, the descendant of the founding generalissimo Xu Da, the current Duke of Wei Xu Hongji, said slowly: "What Sincerity Bo said is true, Shi Kefa just wants to be comprehensive, no one can be offended, and work together in harmony...... How can things be so easy in the world? He either brazenly supports Lu and his comrades all the way, or he supports Fu, which is in line with the will of the people, and also makes Ma Yaocao and Huang Degong and others have no excuse to interfere with the center, now it's good, after the meeting, there will be changes, you wait and see. ”

"I heard that Shi Kefa ordered the Northern Expedition tomorrow, that is, on the seventh day of April, and the thief is the Beijing division occupied on March 17, and it will be almost 20 days, and the emperor still has no exact news, so it is really suspicious."

"Alas, the northern capital has fallen, the emperor is more auspicious, and now the southern capital has no big plan, and there are no doubts, I will wait for the world to receive the favor of the country, what can I do in this situation now?"

"Ma Yaocao is a talent," the gloomy face of sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao and Ma Shiying were originally political allies, as soon as the Pukou meeting came out, he knew that the opportunity for this old friend had come, and now the top priority is to seize the opportunity to see if he can take advantage of the fire, meet Ma Shiying, and seek the greatest political interests for himself. Compared with his ancestor Liu Bowen, this person is slightly less intelligent, but he is very gloomy and cruel, in Nanjing and the entire Nanzhili, there are not many forces and opponents who dare to provoke this sincere uncle.

This can be regarded as letting go of the wind in the Xun Qi, at the moment everyone will understand, nodding and smiling one by one, drinking and saluting, Xu Hongji drank all the wine in his hand, and suddenly slapped the table and scolded: "The loss of this Jue once enshrined Shi Kefa as a celestial, and now it seems that if he is unsuccessful in the Northern Expedition, he should be killed, he can be killed!" ”

………… As soon as April was handed over, there were even more refugees who fled south to Xu Huai. Of course, it is not accurate to say that it is a refugee, after all, ordinary ordinary people will not run, even if they run, they will not have the ability to go straight down thousands of miles from Beijing, and those who really fled south are businessmen and gentry, and many of them are officials, relatives, or people related to both.

There is still no really convincing big man among them, of course, the news is all strange, and there are different opinions, and after listening to it, not only do you not understand the essentials, but on the contrary, it makes people even more annoying.

Sun Chuanting was stationed in Xuzhou for a considerable period of time, and almost all of his governors were sent to the north, but after such a long time, except for capturing some prefectures and counties and attracting the attention of some intruders, there was little real progress.

At the same time, Gao Jie moved frequently, constantly sending messengers, sometimes to Huai'an, sometimes to Fengyang, Luzhou and other places, almost every few days, you can see the messengers going back and forth between the two places, and Sun Chuanting here, Gao Jie is already nowhere to come, Sun Chuanting summoned, he sent the Chinese army named Zhang Wei guerrilla over, anyway, reprimanded Zhaoling, but still afterwards.

After a few months of garrisoning, Xuzhou's fathers and elders were also very unlucky, the garrison discipline was not good, looting everywhere, and women also disappeared from time to time, everyone knew that the garrison secretly robbed it, but because there was no evidence, they could only come to ask the local officials to try to intercede, and in the end, they all arrived at Sun Chuanting's desk.

As for the treasury, Gao Jie and others are also very bold, in the past, the military salaries were allocated by the central treasury and received in the army, but after Gao Jie occupied Xuzhou and other places, he levied his own salaries, and the local treasury was swept away, so bold and domineering, Sun Chuanting had no way at all.

When he beheaded He Renlong, he said that he was a military general, but now Gao Jie and other generations are not a hundred times more powerful than He Renlong?

"Well, I'm really useless."

Sitting in the troubled city, even Gao Jie's general Li Chengdong also moved to Xuzhou Fucheng to live, and he actually fought with Sun Chuanting, and every day there were soldiers in the streets and alleys to cause trouble, Sun Chuanting understood in his heart that this was Gao Jie's instruction, this Li Chengdong came to "squeeze" himself, only one day when he left, the ground in Xuzhou would be stable.

But how can you go?

He was depressed, so he only took a few people to walk down the street, passed by a restaurant, and wanted to go in and have a few drinks. When Sun Chuanting led the troops to fight with Li Zicheng in the early years, he liked to drink the most, and when he won a battle or was happy, he asked for a big cup to drink, and then wrote poems and wrote fights, thinking that it was a grand event, but now there is no such Yaxing, I just want to order a few dishes and drink a few glasses of stuffy wine.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he was blocked by a few soldiers on duty, because he was wearing civilian clothes, and the soldiers did not think he was a character, and he raised his spear and shouted: "This place is covered by our chief soldier, old man, I want to drink and go somewhere else." ”

"Chief Officer? Is it Mr. Gao? ”

"No, it's our Chief Li!"

"Oh," Sun Chuanting didn't care about the other party's attitude, and asked with a smile, "What kind of happy event is that?" ”

"Concubine, don't you know? It's the young lady of the school official's family in the state, the beautiful water spirit who grows, and the general soldier of my family is newly accepted as a concubine, and he has been drinking here for a few days. ”

"Well, I see."

With such military discipline and such a general, it is really impossible to say what the future state affairs will be. In an instant, Sun Chuanting, who has always been ambitious and enterprising, was also depressed.

He was silent, turned his head and left, didn't take a few steps, but was grabbed by his arm, and for a while Sun Chuanting was furious, and shouted in a low voice: "Who dares to be so rude?" ”

"It's me, Master Sun." The voice of the person who grabbed him was really a little familiar, and he was a little impressed by his face, Sun Chuanting's kung fu, and the man smiled again: "The villain once submitted a book to the Inspector in Weinan, did the adults forget?" ”

"Oh, I remember!" Sun Chuanting's eyes lit up, and he almost screamed!

The person who came was the military attache in the East Palace named Li Gong, this look, that capable and intelligent eyes, he was extremely impressed, and he remembered it at a glance, there must be nothing wrong!
