"Joke is joke," entered the room, sat down on the main seat, Hong Chengchou dusted off the dust on his robe, and asked: "Lord Zhou, I came to look for students, I don't know what to advise." ”

Of course, his attitude is obvious.

If someone Zhou comes to cling, what kind of friendship can be waived.

If there is no serious matter, it is better to retire as soon as possible, so as not to bring humiliation on yourself.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou can meet him, which is already a bit of sympathy. After he surrendered, he could imagine the scene of himself being scolded by everyone outside the pass, and entered the pass into Beijing, and his friends were very good, and there were very few people who were willing to meet him or return letters.

Even if he surrenders now, he deliberately keeps his distance from him.

If he said that he had no grievances in his heart, it would also be a deception...... "Nine elders, then the student will say it directly." ”

Zhou Zhong's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "In the past two days, the regent is going to bring a reply letter back to the general He Gonghui, and the student has already inquired and understood that it is a document that calls the emperor to surrender, and there was a division between the north and the south before, but this time it will not be mentioned......"

The "emperor" he said was of course Chongzhen, and as soon as he heard this, Hong Chengchou's body suddenly sat up straight, and there was also a fierce look in his eyes.

Zhou Zhong's words, not that no one in the bureau knows what to say. But Hong Chengchou understood as soon as he heard it.

"Before" actually refers to June, at that time, the Ming Dynasty sent a messenger to canonize Wu Sangui as the Duke of the State, reward the soldiers with a silver medal in grain and straw, and Dolgon issued an official proclamation, in which there was still a entry into the customs for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the thief Yunyun, wishing the Ming Dynasty to be able to protect the left of the river in the south and make peace with the dynasty, and the requirements for their own forces were only obviously limited to the north of the Yellow River.

And this time, the Ming Dynasty has a staff general He Gonghui here waiting for an official reply, Dolgon will officially call the Ming Dynasty to surrender in the reply, Zhou Zhong already knows the details, Dolgon promised to Feng Chongzhen as the prince, to Fengyang a place to raise the Ming room, to Fengzong Temple, the emperor's tomb of the Ming Dynasty, will also be properly kept, send someone to guard.

The whole text is to declare war with the Ming Dynasty, and before, Nanjing has always had the idea of "borrowing the thief", even Chongzhen can not be too contrary to the will of the people, the matter of the crown prince's oath has been deliberately diluted, between the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is a delicate balance.

As soon as this article is written, even if you tear your face, the war will officially begin.

Of course, the document is still being prepared, and it may be the end of July, or it may be August and September, and the time has not yet been determined.

"The students already know about it."

Hong Chengchou's face was cold, and he didn't look interested. Because of this matter, he was kicked out by the close ministers who participated in the maintenance of the aircraft, and as long as the Nine Kings were in power, he would definitely be left out in the cold, and there was no doubt about this.

Now he could see that Dolgon's surname was impatient and ruthless, and that if he was suspicious, he would never turn back. As long as the Nine Kings are in power, he can only keep his head in obscurity, and he must not talk too much in case of trouble, and can only speak from the intentions of the Nine Kings.

This Zhou Zhong's conduct is very bad, how can Hong Chengchou say anything to him?

At the moment, he just flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "This is a major national policy, of course, it is the regent who is in charge." Moreover, since ancient times, it has been said that this dynasty should be ordered by Tianjing, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knows to conform to the will of heaven, he should not learn from Emperor Yuan Shun, carry the coffin and surrender, and not lose the wealth and grace! ”

These words were high-sounding and unimpeccable, but when Zhou Zhong heard this, he raised his face and sneered with disdain.

Hong Chengchou endured it again and again, and after all, his cultivation skills were so bad, and he couldn't help but say angrily with a blue face: "What, what's so ridiculous about the student's words?" ”

"Nine Elders!"

Zhou Zhong stood up and said loudly: "The regent is stupid, and he was also coaxed by Yang Fangxing and Jin Guangjun's bastards!" ”

Hong Chengchou was taken aback when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Are you dizzy, talking some crazy nonsense here with me, if you report it, do you want to die?" ”

"This is the Nine Elders' Mansion, and there are no outsiders around," Zhou Zhong was not only not afraid, but also said proudly: "Nine Elders, will you tell me?" ”

"It's hard to say."

"Forget it, the ninth elder is a smart person and knows how to take it in." Zhou Zhong said with a smile: "Students know that everything is a step back, how can the Nine Elders be inferior to the students?" ”

Hong Chengchou was silent with a straight face, and the guy in front of him was indeed shameless to the extreme.

However, he said that the regent was stupid in the matter of the southern expedition, and Hong Chengchou also agreed very much, and he was instigated by a group of Ming Dynasty officials from the south to invade the southern expedition, and he also knew it.

Yang Fangxing is the governor of the river, and he said it clearly a month ago, and the most vigilant sentence is: "If you can't go south of the Yangtze River, then the Cao Yun will be blocked, how will it become the world?" ”

Jin Guangjun wrote: "All the grain food in the northwest is given to the southeast, and since the chaos, the southern millet has not reached the capital division, and the price of rice in the north has soared!" ”

There are a lot of people who write to ask for the southern expedition, but there are very few of them. Because the Manchus have such a large territory and have so many slaves clothed, they are already satisfied, but they may not want to go south, because the capital is already hot enough, the Manchus are afraid of the heat in the south, and the place with a dense water network is not suitable for them to live, so the intention of going south is not strong.

Even if Dolgon and other princes and nobles have plans to divide the river and rule.

But there are very many Han officials who invite the southern expedition, some of them have insightful opinions, and most of the southern officials are mixed with Yiyu, or because of their own reputation and family.

Mixed with Yiyu, even if he is demoted, he knows the current affairs, and he is from the New Dragon Dynasty.

Second, most of Nanguan's family members are in Jiangnan, and if they rule across the river, they don't want to go back to their hometown in this life, and they don't have to see their families again.

Of course, there is another way to resign and go home, but these bastards will never give up their official hats.

The shamelessness of the Nanren Han officials is simply astonishing, and after hundreds of years, I still don't know who this generation is.

There are many people with selfish intentions, and there are not a few who have true insights.

Like Jin Guangjun, Yang Fangxing is one of the best.

The affairs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are difficult to appear today, and the times are different, and it is indeed as these two people said.

Hundreds of years ago, the north and the south were divided because the north was also an economically developed area at that time, and in the Han and Tang dynasties, the economy and agriculture of the north were more developed than the south.

Even when Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, only Jianye and other places had large populations and developed economies, and Xianghuguang and other places were still sparsely populated. When the Jin Dynasty moved south several times, the humanities began to develop, and the Song Dynasty developed Huguang, and there were proverbs such as "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full".

Then there is the trade and sea trade, and the area of Fujian and Guangzhou has also begun to develop and mature.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the south had left the north far away in terms of economy, culture, and grain production. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was the Xiaoice River, and it was unthinkable that the north, especially the northwest, would not have received grain from the south.

Even if it is a place in Beijing, it will be at least one million stones per year, and once it is interrupted, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The Qing army entered the customs and announced a tax reduction based on the tax standard of the Wanli period, although it was nonsense at the time, but at least it stabilized people's hearts. Abolish the Ming Dynasty guard system, change all the guards to tunding, appoint officials indiscriminately, show the atmosphere of the new dynasty, send large officials to appease the locality, and stabilize people's hearts.

All kinds of measures are very effective, but in various parts of Jingshi Jifu, people are uneasy, and even rumors continue, there is no way to stabilize the foundation, the most important thing is that the emperor has not arrived, and there are often rumors that the Eight Banners will slaughter the city and withdraw, so it is difficult to determine people's hearts.

This point is to send people to welcome the little emperor Fulin to Yanjing as soon as possible to ascend the throne and correct the orthodoxy.

But the lack of food is unthinkable.

The price of rice in Beijing is already one stone of grain for two taels of silver, and although the rice grain outside the customs is adjusted and the grain stored in southern Jinan and other places is still not helpful.

Moreover, the area of Shanxi and northern Shanxi fell under the rule, and the livelihood of the people in these places also needs to be considered.

Therefore, Dolgon's eagerness to march south is not entirely unreasonable.

It's just that the truth is reasonable, and we must also distinguish the priorities, and we must thoroughly understand the situation in the south, and then say that the Ming Dynasty is so rashly marching now, of course, that the Ming Dynasty is weak in Shandong and Henan, there is no thief in Jinan, and there is no Qing army at the beginning, and the Ming Dynasty does not send people to take it back, which makes the Eight Banners very despised.

But that's just a façade!

The communication between the north and the south is cut off, and there is no reliable understanding and investigation, which is actually a very risky thing...... "You just said that you want to be more lively," Hong Chengchou looked tired, pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "What is going on?" ”

"The student said it." Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "After all, the students have been in the Restoration Society, and there are still some news channels in the southern capital. Before that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote to the emperor, and he was allowed to surrender to the officials and restore the southern capital, and all those who were exempted from the crime. When it comes to the situation, everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty will die, and there is no immortal dynasty since ancient times, so why should they scold people because of this? The prince cited the example of Cao Mengde's book burning after the Guandu War, which is very police and convincing! ”

Hong Chengchou listened to it and was also slightly moved. The meaning of the prince's words is probably the same as Cao Ying's book-burning on the Guandu battlefield, indicating that he will not pursue the officials who secretly contacted Yuan Shao, which is bright and generous.

He couldn't help but think of himself, and then thought of Chongzhen's surname, which was very strange: how did he give birth to such a crown prince who understands the current situation and knows people's hearts?

Your Majesty, that is a retribution, jealousy, and unforgiveness!

"In the crown prince's recital, the name is to mention the student." Zhou Zhong was triumphant and twisted in the seat: "The crown prince said that although the minister's performance has been a little too much, it is not surprising that everyone is like this." Later, it is possible to stipulate how to punish the demotion of officials, and since there is no criminal law and crime in the state and dynasty in advance, then it will be exempted. also mentioned the nine elders, saying that it was the battle of Songshan, and the crimes were all in Chen Xinjia and others, and the nine elders could excel, if it weren't for the rear, they wouldn't have been defeated. If the Nine Elders are willing to turn back, they may not be able to forgive......"

Hong Chengchou almost pinched the handle of his chair out of the water, only to feel sweating everywhere all over his body. After half a sound, he said in a hoarse voice: "Is this serious? ”

"Of course, how can a student make a joke about such a thing?"

"Okay, I got it. However, it is difficult to recover the water, and the kindness of the crown prince, Hong can only understand it. ”

After half a ring, Hong Chengchou calmed down, first cleared up a sentence, and then looked at Zhou Zhong and said in a deep voice: "So, Lord Zhou is here today, what is there for me to serve?" ”
