There has never been a shortage of officials around the little emperor Zhu Cihuan, who fled from Fujian to Guangdong, and from Guangdong to Guangxi, and has always had a large number of civil officials follow.

After arriving in Guangxi, he relied on the local military attache Chen Bangfu to stabilize proudly and gave Chen Bangfu a national duke.

After the Qing army occupied Guangdong, it did not immediately attack Guangxi, but there was a conflict between the two leaders.

In the Qing army, Jin Shenghuan occupied Fujian, and Wang Tizhong occupied Guangdong, which was originally promised to them by Hong Chengchou.

Of course, Hong Chengchou also promised Zheng Zhilong the power of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, but as soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zheng Zhilong was put under house arrest.

But unlike Zheng Zhilong, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong have soldiers in their hands, each of them has more than 100,000 troops, they can occupy their own territory, and after occupying the two places, the two coincidentally expanded their army, Jin Shenghuan incorporated the Ming army in Fujian, recruited displaced people and expanded to 200,000 troops, and Wang Tizhong also expanded to 200,000 in Guangdong.

But unlike Jin Shenghuan, Wang Tizhong was born in Li Zicheng's peasant army, and all his generals had their own subordinates, especially one named Wang Deren, and he and Wang Tizhong were both general soldiers in official positions, which were appointed by Azig when he was there, because he captured the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Cihong.

The same official position, but it is impossible to have the same power, plus there are soldiers in hand, there are naturally different intentions.

Wang Tizhong and Wang Deren have always been inseparable, and after arriving in Guangdong, Wang Tizhong was the most powerful, occupying the city of Guangzhou, while Wang Deren occupied Zhaoqing.

Compared with Jin Shenghuan, who was always nervous under the power of Yang Chao's soldiers, after these two occupied Guangdong, they felt much safer. At first, Jiangxi was in the hands of the Qing army. They don't have to worry about being attacked. The small court in Guangxi will be very face-saving if they don't attack, where dare to attack them.

This kind of warlord group is fine when it encounters external pressure, and can still unite as one, but once there is no pressure, there will be problems within itself.

Wang Tizhong has been urging Wang Deren to attack poor Guangxi, and he wants to dominate Guangdong, but Wang Deren also knows that Guangxi and Guangdong cannot be compared. At this time, Guangxi was considered a wild place, a place where miasma was rampant, so Wang Deren never delayed, but recruited troops in the Zhaoqing area to fight against Wang Tizhong.

Wang Tizhong has always wanted to kill Wang Deren and divide his people, but he didn't want to lose his own people.

The impasse was broken when Yang Chao sent troops to regain Jiangxi, and many men led troops to recover Jiangxi territory from Nanchang to Ganzhou, especially Ganzhou, which borders Guangdong. Opposite is Shaoguan and Nanxiong in Guangdong.

Wang Tizhong immediately lost his sense of security and sent Gao Jinku and other elite soldiers to stationed in Shaoguan and Nanxiong. And set up defenses on Meiling, which gave Wang Deren a good opportunity, and he actually attacked the city of Guangzhou under the persuasion of some local civil officials in Guangdong, occupied the empty Guangzhou, and killed Wang Tizhong.

Then Wang Deren immediately raised the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and surrendering to the Ming, and became the governor of Liangguang appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and was knighted Guangchanghou.

After Wang Deren was anyway, Jin Shenghuan immediately went right, and the stronger Jin Shenghuan was named the Duke of Changguo.

The third prince of Zhu also has some ability, but the key is that several civil officials in Guangdong under him have the ability, and all the planning and operation are operated by Zhang Jiayu and other Guangdong literati.

Then they immediately moved their capital, from Guangxi to Guangdong, but not Guangzhou, but Zhaoqing, which was connected by the waterway of Guangxi, and apparently they left themselves a way back, both to be controlled by the Guangxi warlord Chen Bangfu, and not to be controlled by Wang Deren, who had already gone north to Guangzhou, and was quite far-sighted.

Anyway, Guangdong and Fujian were also a good thing for Yang Chao, and suddenly the rear was stable, and he could concentrate on fighting for Hunan with the Qing army.

But the trouble is that the small court suddenly controlled the land of the three provinces, although it was only nominal control, but they suddenly hardened, and the self-proclaimed loyal Wenchen in the court began to impeach Yang Chao.

A royal historian named Li Ruyue impeached Yang Chao for three major crimes, the first was to support the army and respect himself, the second was to loot the people, and the third was to bully the saints. Needless to say, Yang Chao admitted it. The second article is to loot the people, Yang Chao does not recognize it, how can the land hidden by the Qingzhang Hao clan be called looting, and Zhu Yuanzhang will do the same when he is alive. Article 3 refers to the same thing, but it specifically refers to the land property of the Confucian family in Yang Chaoqingzhang, Shandong, and the Confucian family to pay taxes like ordinary landlords.

Li Ruyue's impeachment, Zhang Jiayu, who made great contributions and entered the cabinet, and other people of insight suggested that the emperor should make a big deal small, and at this time, he would rely on military law like Yang Chao to support the imperial court.

But this Li Ruyue probably wanted to be famous and went crazy, so she printed hundreds of copies and posted them on the streets and alleys, and specially sent her family to Nanjing, calling Yang Chao's hands.

Yang Chao saw that he was impeached, and he also took his ancestors for eight generations and scolded him, even if his temper was good, there was a limit, so he immediately asked Li Ruyue's family to take Li Ruyue's family back the persuasion form that the Kong family gave him, so that he could see what kind of virtue the saint was.

Who knew that Li Ruyue not only didn't think about it, but made a big fuss in the court again, using this as evidence to impeach Yang Chao for bullying the saints, and determined that Yang Chao coerced the Kong family to get it for him, and asked the court to kill Yang Chao to correct the country's law.

In this way, Li Ruyue became famous, and many literati praised him for a while, such as Liu Zongzhou, a great Confucian in Shaoxing.

This Liu Zongzhou is also a character, his fame is overshadowed, when Emperor Chongzhen was there, he dared to scold the head of the court, scolded Wen Tiren, scolded Zhou Yanru, and finally even scolded the emperor, but was imprisoned, and was not killed under the plea of many civil officials.

When he arrived at the small court in Jiangnan, he began to scold this and that, the four towns in Jiangbei, and even Yang Chao.

At that time, Azig hit near Nanjing, when the little emperor abandoned the city and fled, he returned to his hometown and felt that he should be loyal to the emperor, so he began a hunger strike, and he really starved himself to death in the original history, but in this era, because Yang Chao suddenly returned to the army, Azig failed to hit Nanjing, so Liu Zongzhou went on a hunger strike for two days and then stopped.

But since Liu Zongzhou did not become an official, Fujian was occupied by the Qing army, after Zhu Cihuan fled south, he went on a hunger strike for two days, and found that the Ming Dynasty was still not dead, so he stopped the hunger strike again, even if Yang Chao twice pulled Nanjing back from the edge of the broken city, this Liu Zongzhou still did not give up scolding Yang Chao, lecturing in his hometown, and making a big noise to promote Yang Chao ten times worse than Cao Cao.

"Go, let the editor of Jiangnan Daily ask Liu Zongzhou for a few articles and comment on the general trend of the world."

The Jiangnan newspaper run by Yang Chao has always been tepid, and its sales are very limited, the first is that there are too few literate people, and the second is that everyone regards the newspaper run by Yang Chao as a newspaper, thinking that this is something that the official wants the people to declare their political situation.

Yang Chao often asked the compilers to send people to various places to interview the people and publish various news, but the effect was still not very good, and it was far less popular than the tabloids in later generations.

"Don't literati like to read articles that scold me? I heard that Liu Zongzhou's article was widely copied, so it is better to let him scold me in the newspaper and increase the sales of our newspaper. ”

Yang Chao felt that since he was going to be scolded, it was better to turn waste into treasure, there was no garbage in the world, only misplaced resources.

Even incompetent literati like Liu Zongzhou and Li Ruyue, who only know how to sell their fame and reputation, are valuable garbage, and they should be used when they should be used.

Huang Fengfu thinks that this trick is very high, which proves that Yang Chao has a large number and can accommodate the comments of the following people.

Liu Zongzhou really boldly wrote an article to scold Yang Chao in the newspaper, and as a result, it really promoted a large increase in newspaper sales, second only to when Yang Chao won the battle.

Seeing that this method was feasible, Yang Chao asked people to interview various celebrities, what Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, let everyone express their opinions at will, and the newspaper was very lively all of a sudden.

The newspaper was used as a stage for debate between the two sides, and these people in the province discussed it in private.

The momentum of the debate in the newspapers also intensified, and the literati in the late Ming Dynasty generally did not have much place to speak, and newspapers like Jiangnan Daily, which were published directly throughout the locality, were indeed a good stage, allowing them to speak freely, greatly expressing their depression, and were very popular among the literati.

Then Yang Chao announced in the newspaper that literati were welcome to write articles, but all those with good writing and reliable arguments would be published.

This has aroused the passion of a group of scribes who are not famous, but talented, and they have submitted articles, taking pride in being able to publish them, and being very angry if they can't be published, thinking that they will not meet them, etc., in this atmosphere, the newspaper has become a position for literati to become famous, which Yang Chao did not expect.

However, through the newspaper Yang Chao, I saw that there are still some people who have a positive attitude towards Yang Chao's actions, such as Xia Yunyi's comments are more pertinent, thinking that Yang Chao has made great contributions to the country, if there is no Yang Chao, Jiangnan will fall, and the people will have long been trapped in fire and water, but at the same time, he vaguely said that many of Yang Chao's practices are inappropriate, and admonished Yang Chao to take the court first and should not be domineering.

There are also those who speak strongly in support of Yang Chao, attacking Liu Zongzhou and Zhou Gu's reputation, attacking Xia Yunyi for not knowing the general trend, and some people even threw out the national weapon when the virtuous live in it, this is obviously a literati who stammered with Yang Chao, and it may even be that Huang Fengfu and other Yang Chao's characters wrote anonymously. But this kind of argument once again detonated the temper of Liu Zongzhou and others, and they scolded in the newspaper, and the excitement did not stop until the New Year.

At this time, Yang Chao didn't care about scolding him in the newspaper, he wandered anxiously outside the delivery room.

"My son is still very good at giving birth, pick this time to come out, not to mention the excitement, and let his mother suffer less confinement sin."

Zhu Yujiao finally hit the due date, and after the pain in her abdomen, she immediately found a stable woman to watch day and night, waiting for the child to be born.

With a loud cry, Yang Chao's child announced that he had come to this world, and Yang Chao couldn't wait to rush into the delivery room.

"Congratulations, uncle, it's a young lady!"

Wen Po smiled, but there was a trace of fear in her eyes, for fear that Yang Chao would be unhappy because of her daughter.

Yang Chao didn't care, he laughed: "Reward!" ”

Then he walked to his wife's bed with his daughter in his arms, and let his sweaty and pale face, obviously out of strength, look at his daughter. (To be continued......)
