Nanking.

After King Fu crossed the river, he first went to Xiaolingwei to go to the grave of Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, and then came back to pay tribute to the Taimiao.

Then there is the inauguration of the prison state.

Then began to seal the civil and military officials.

Although Nanjing has six institutions like Beijing, it is generally a miniature version, for example, sometimes there is only one squire, sometimes even Shangshu can be vacant, and now Zhu Youxiang is in Nanjing to supervise the country, then a complete set of institutions must be erected, and there will be more official vacancies to be added.

Zhu Youxiang was not as terrifying as the Donglin Party thought, he was a vassal king with no fighting spirit, and did not take revenge on Donglin who opposed him, but instead adopted the practice of the Ming Dynasty and let the courtiers push the cabinet.

Originally, Jiangnan was the base camp of the Donglin Party, and a considerable proportion of the officials in Nanjing were Donglin Party members, so the Donglin Party not only did not lose its position, but occupied a considerable advantage in the promotion.

Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was appointed as a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and entered the cabinet; Zhan Shi Jiang Riguang of Zhan Shifu was promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also a scholar of Dongge University to work in the cabinet; Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also a scholar of Dongge University, and entered the cabinet to do business; Zhang Shenyan was the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Zongzhou was the imperial envoy of the Inspectorate.

The cabinet was almost dominated by the Donglin Party.

It's just that Shi Kefa made King Fu very uncomfortable because of his hesitation when making a decision, and added his title of secretary of the military department to Ma Shiying's head, and at the same time added Ma Shiying a scholar of the East Pavilion, but he didn't let him enter the cabinet to do things, but let him sit in Fengyang and continue to be in charge of the army.

It's just that Donglin won a big victory, but Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, was very anxious, and he still thought that he could be used, so he began to operate intensively.

But who knew that a few days after King Fu was in prison, news came from Jiangbei in more than five months, and Yang Chao was back. I also brought back the prince!

Suddenly the officialdom shook, is this prince real?

King Fu immediately fidgeted and immediately asked Lu Jiude to go to Huai'an to verify the news.

The Donglin Party was active again. There is an endless stream of boats from Jiangnan to Jiangbei.

At this time in Huai'an, Huangfeng Mansion seems to be the core figure. It plays a pivotal role in the administration of the DPRK.

This feeling made his psychology very satisfied, and he suddenly felt that this was what he wanted, and as for whether he could be a waiter, it was not worth mentioning at all.

After communicating with Lu Mo in detail that day, Lu Mo went north with the answer.

Huangfeng Mansion immediately became active in Huai'an.

first told Lu Zhenfei, the prefect of Huai'an, that the prince was escorted south by Yang Chao.

Lu Zhenfei was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked if it was true or false, and Huang Fengfu swore that it was true. Even if it is fake, since Yang Chao wants to do it, he must say that it is true, not to mention that after communicating with Lu Mo in detail, Huang Fengfu also decided that Yang Chao had indeed created a miracle again and really rescued the prince from Beijing City.

Huang Fengfu told Lu Zhenfei that Yang Chao had the emperor's secret decree before his death, and he would know it at a glance when the time came.

Lu Zhenfei immediately reported the news to Nanjing, but did not explicitly say that the news was true, but only told Nanjing that Yang Chao sent someone to send the news. It is said that there is a secret purpose.

After Lu Zhenfei, Huai'an immediately exploded, and officials from all walks of life visited Huangfeng Mansion one after another. praised Huangfeng Mansion as a guest, and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life were also stammered.

Huang Fengfu kept telling stories to people from all walks of life, telling him where he asked from Lu Mo.

From Yang Chao sent elite soldiers to escort Wang Chengen into Beijing, but encountered the destruction of Beijing, and as a result, these dozens of elite soldiers were ordered to escort the prince south, accompanied by Zhu Cijiong, the king of mourning, Zhu Cizhao, the king of mourning, and the three princes of Zhu Cihuan, the king of mourning, and Zhu Yujiao, the princess of Changping. Yang Chao also held a secret decree.

This news is very credible, and there has been no news of the prince and princess. The latest news from Beijing only said that the empress and the concubines hanged themselves, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide. The news of Wang Chengen's suicide, there is no news about the prince.

Coupled with the story of Huang Fengfu's self-justification, many people believe it.

But this story is really bizarre, many people still can't make up their minds to take refuge, after all, King Fu in Nanjing has been in charge of the country, and there is the support of the four towns of the general army, even if the prince really goes south, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer, and when the time comes, it will not be able to develop into a situation of the four towns general soldiers against Yang Chao, who wins and who loses is really hard to say.

Only two people instantly expressed their attitude, one was Wang Xiao, who had been staying in Huai'an to run the salt transportation business, and his father had begun to loosen up and give him the business in Jiangbei.

The other is Du Shouchang, the largest salt merchant in Huai'an.

I have to say that Du Shouchang is a character, who can develop the Du family into the status of the first salt merchant in Huai'an, this person is very capable, and the last time he looked at Yang Chao, it can only show that his grasp of the court is not clever enough, indicating that his political ability is not good, but his vision is still beyond ordinary people.

It is normal for Wang Xiao to support Yang Chao, Yang Chao and the Wang family have basically been allies after all these years, and it is his duty to support them. Du Shouchang is a little impressive, the Du family, as the largest wealthy businessman in Huai'an, should not be so aggressive in doing things, but he took the lead in expressing his position, and he can't help but talk about his courage.

And before Du Shouchang also invested in King Fu, when King Fu was in Huai'an, he lived in the Du family's Wanxiu Garden, Du Shouchang also inherited his sister to King Fu, Lu Jiu pulled the warlord's silver, which was also from the Du family, and King Fu said that once he ascended the throne, he would make Du Shouchang's sister Du Hongying the queen.

It can be said that Du Shouchang had formed an alliance with King Fu before, and now as soon as he heard that the real prince was still alive, he immediately changed his appearance, and the flexibility of the businessman and the courage of the wealthy businessman were undoubtedly leaked.

Huang Fengfu also accepted the surrender of these two people, and the request made to them was that the more grain and boats, the better, and all of them should be sent to Linqing!

Why did they go to Linqing, Huang Fengfu told them that Yang Chao was determined to block Li Zicheng from going south in Linqing, so there was a need for food and boats.

Wang Xiao immediately stopped Huai'an's salt business, and all the ships came back one by one, all of which were loaded with grain and sent to Linqing, Shandong.

Du Shouchang fully assisted, mobilized his own various resources, and transported grain and ships from all over the country to the north.

But does Yang Chao really plan to stop Li Zicheng in Linqing?

Of course not.

The purpose of Yang Chao's stay in Linqing was to give Jiangnan time to react, let them digest the news that the prince was still alive, and let them think about who to support first, and if they rushed south, they really needed to use force.

In addition, Yang Chao felt that his strength was not enough to deter the warlords of the four towns, and he planned to expand his forces in Linqing.

Linqing leans against the canal. As a large city on the canal that could be ranked with Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Suzhou, Gyeonggi and Shandong were attacked by Li Zicheng, and a large number of displaced people fled to Linqing.

Yang Chao planned to recruit a group of northern refugees to expand his strength. Not too many, 50,000 troops are enough.

Then he stayed in Linqing and watched. Knowing that Huangfeng Mansion has leveled the forces of Huai'an, he will go to Huai'an.

"Your Excellency has recruited a thousand scholars."

In Linqing City, in the garden of a landlord's house, Lu Moxing rushed to report that he had found a thousand scholars outside Linqing City.

"Is there a showman?"

Yang Chao asked casually while feeding the goldfish by the pond.

Lu Mo's excitement was immediately half extinguished, and he shook his head.

Yang Chao didn't care, everyone who read was spoiled. There are no less than 300,000 Shandong and Gyeonggi refugees inside and outside Linqing City, and even if the literacy rate is 1 percent, there are 3,000 scholars, not to mention that the literacy rate among these refugees is definitely higher.

But most scholars are reluctant to join the army, they would rather watch their families struggle with hunger than put down their bodies to join the army.

Yang Chao couldn't help but think of the refugees in Xinjiangkou, where the refugees were also very pitiful, fleeing from Huguang and Jiujiang to suffer from hunger and cold.

How many families make a living by working part-time jobs on the docks. Yang Chao saw with his own eyes that many scholars were allowed to do the heavy work of the old parents and sisters at home, and they were stoned. But they stood with their hands in their hands, wandering around the docks with a broken book in hand, refusing to work, but not lamenting their plight.

This is the literati cultivated by the Chinese tradition, without any responsibility, without any courage, who can watch their families suffer and be unwilling to make changes, and they are the same when the country suffers. However, he sighed for a long time and sighed that state affairs were difficult, as if he was already a patriotic literati.

Later, Yang Chao's siege was completed. Most of the refugees couldn't even do a short job to make ends meet, so Yang Chao began to recruit people. Among them, only a few hundred are willing to be people's husbands, and most of the others would rather huddle in shacks with their families and let their families go out to beg for food to feed them than work.

Compared with the refugees in Nanjing, the refugees in Linqing have already made Yang Chao very satisfied, and at least 1,000 scholars are willing to serve as soldiers.

This is a direct soldier, not the most civilian.

"Well, recruit another day, if you can't recruit readers. We started recruiting. These scholars still have to work hard for you, take them to familiarize themselves with the procedures in the army, and let them do the paperwork for recruitment. I can't help you, let Hu Quan help you. ”

Yang Chao said slowly.

This time, there are not many scholars around him, only a few dozen, and most of them are in Huai'an.

In the past, the copywriting work was done by Yang Chao, Hu Quan, and Lu Mo, but later Huang Fengfu came and replaced Yang Chao, and after recruiting enough readers, Hu Quan and Lu Mo were also liberated, and now it is necessary to let them make a cameo appearance in an emergency.

Lu Mo responded: "You can deal with it!" ”

He swore and was full of passion because he saw hope.

"Lord Yang, the villain has found a few famous prostitutes to accompany him, Lord Yang must appreciate his face tonight!"

As soon as Lu Mo left, a guy with a fat head and big ears walked over.

Yang Chao also greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't help but give face to others, because this is his home.

The owner's surname is Wang, the name is complete, in Linqing to open a money village and pawnshop for the industry, the family is rich, and a garden is built next to the Daning Temple.

Yang Chao's army was stationed in Daning Temple, so he chose Wang's Garden as the temporary residence of the princes.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Master Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been tired all the way, you should give His Highness the wind first." ”

Wang Youquan smiled even more, the pimples on his face were shiny, and he suddenly quietly took Yang Chao's hand.

After pulling out his hand, he left a thick stack of silver tickets, and said with a smile: "That's really an honor, and I rely on Lord Yang to invite His Royal Highness the Prince." (To be continued)
