Just when the Yangzhou War was imminent, Zhu Yousong, who was far away in Nanjing, did not suspect it, but it could be regarded as sending away Wang Lanping, the plague god, and the seven Dingbian marquis were also busy fighting their own minds, restraining each other, and did not pay attention to the changes in Nanjing.

The current emperor is a little tasteful, and he no longer has to be afraid of anyone who dares to point fingers at the emperor, at this time, Zhu Yousong even had a trace of thinking about Zhongxing Daming, but he really didn't have a comprehensive plan for what to do, because Wang Lanping last time he investigated in Beijing, with the soldiers and horses in his hands, he forcibly suppressed a large number of people who supported him

The ministers who are called the emperor, the biggest official among them has to be Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the cabinet, so that the newly appointed ministers Zhu Yousong are not very trusted, and always feel that they and Wang Lanping will secretly communicate with each other.

Or the original batch of old ministers Zhu Yousong can rest assured, at least they will not lose the emperor's expenses, since Wang Lanping went north to resist the Qing Dynasty, the expenses in the palace are drying up, and the emperor's use has reached the point of being stretched.

Whoever will get the silver, it is naturally Ma Shiying, fortunately, at this time, Ma Shiying is just idle in the mansion of Nanjing City, although the official position is not there, but the title of university scholar is still there.

It's good to die, Zhu Yousong thought of Ma Shiying at this time, but Zhu Yousong was still a little jealous, because when Ma Shiying was in charge of the government before, he also loved to ignore the emperor, and he didn't put the emperor in his eyes at every turn, speaking of which, Zhu Yousong should hate him, but there is no one in the emperor's hands, no matter what, Ma Shiying has supported the emperor, and his prestige among the subjects of the world is still there, and now it is different from the past, the current Zhu Yousong is in power, and Ma Shiying is not the Ma Shiying of the day.

And Zhu Yousong also thinks that if Ma Shiying is used again, then he will not be grateful to the emperor for a lifetime, of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Yousong still expects him to get silver for himself.

In this way, Zhu Yousong made an arbitrary decision for the first time, established a public opinion, and re-issued a decree appointing Ma Shiying as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Ma Shiying, who originally thought that the official in this life was the end of his life, heard the news, and he was so happy that he couldn't wait to see everyone shouting his father, he was afraid of the emperor Lao Tzu turning over the old accounts, now it's okay, Lao Tzu is back.

Ma Shiying entered the cabinet this time, but he no longer dared to look coldly at the emperor, like a grandson, trying his best to please Zhu Yousong, as long as the emperor wanted, he had to do his best, and not offend anyone in the court Wang Lanping, he was really careful to be a man and an official with his tail between his legs.

But in private, Ma Shiying is a thief, and if he wants to regain his former style, he not only wants to control the imperial court, but more importantly, he has military power.

So Ma Shiying locked his eyes on the seven Dingbian Marquis of Xiangshan, these seven people have more than 100,000 troops in their hands, and they can change the dynasty when they enter, and they can tear up the territory and seal the territory when they retreat.

Thanks to Ma Shiying's family background, so many years of feudal officials are not in vain, with a lot of money to describe that only said one-tenth, this time, Ma Shiying decided to take a three-pronged approach, the silver paved the way forward, and the high-ranking officials then tempted each other, and then said it with great power, saying that he would gradually ask the emperor to remove the governors of the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River one by one, so that the seven Dingbian marquis would succeed him, so that Ma Shiying was the main one in the court, and there were seven important ministers with military power outside the court, and the future of everyone in the future was limitless, maybe it was possible to be crowned a prince.

Originally, these seven Dingbian marquis were bought and bewitched by Ma Shiying to Nanjing and Wang Lanping to fight, at this time they were in a dilemma in Xiangshan, Ma Shiying came to contact in the middle at this time, and everyone was in the arms, and the eight people hit it off and formed a party, but now the Ming and Qing armies are facing each other in Yangzhou, and the general trend of the world has not yet been determined, no matter how stupid Ma Shiying is, he will not make trouble at this time, at least he has to wait for the damn Wang Lanping to be completely dead before he starts.

One is Zhu Yousong, who is extremely inexperienced in politics, and the other is Ma Shiying, the first assistant who wants to shake the court again, both sides have small abacus and take what they need.

Nanjing City has set off another official transfer, but this time the scope of the impact is far less extensive than what Wang Lanping did before, no matter how much Ma Shiying's old subordinates and henchmen were left in the last Beijing inspection, and he was not stupid enough to be the enemy of the courtiers as soon as he came to power.

For the military information sent from Yangzhou, Zhu Yousong showed great concern, personally watched every battle report, and convened the ministers to discuss, he was so attentive, it was entirely because he was afraid of falling into the same fate as his cousin Zhu Youzhen, once the Qing army crossed the river, how long could he sit on the throne?

Shi Kefa asked for reinforcements one after another, but it was just that Zhu Yousong, who had the imperial prestige, could do nothing but sigh or sigh, how could the court still transfer troops, and the Great Western Army of Zhang Xianzhong was still entrenched in the area of Huizhou Mansion, maybe when he would go down the river to Nanjing, Zhu Yousong was trying to squeeze his head and wanted to transfer troops from the front line of Yangzhou to stop Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't have the courage to provoke the Seven Dingbian Marquis, and the other governors in Jiangnan also became self-preservation, and the emperor's majesty was not enough to shock these people, and he wanted to transfer them to King Qin, It's better to move the capital.

At this time, Ma Shiying lost no time in standing up and suggesting to the emperor that he should immediately issue an order to Shi Kefa and Wang Lanping, asking them to solve the battle in Yangzhou as soon as possible, defeat the Qing army, and then immediately return to Jiangnan to block Zhang Xianzhong, so as to preserve Yangzhou, and use the enemy's hand to consume Wang Lanping's strength, killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, Zhu Yousong not only did not add a soldier to Yangzhou, but also issued three holy decrees to Shi Kefa in a row, asking him not to hold on to the battle anymore, but to take the initiative to attack and break the Qing army, and then the squad returned to the dynasty to clear out the western thieves, and the words were extremely harsh......

got Ma Shiying's re-advent to the court, Zhu Yousong's days are also happy day by day, and he doesn't need to do it himself, and the Forbidden City is once again singing and dancing, birds and flowers, so happy to dissolve.

And the other grass-headed son is not as comfortable as Zhu Yousong, he is the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng who fled for his life in Huguang.

Since the Qing Ying prince Azig went out of Taiyuan to the west into Xi'an, Li Zicheng was forced to move south, with more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians, and the soldiers fled into Huguang in three ways, leaving only the general Liu Zongmin and his nephew Li Guo to stay in Xi'an.

Originally, Li Zicheng also hoped to use the city defense of Xi'an to buy more time for his way to escape south, but he didn't expect that Liu Zongmin, who really didn't die if he didn't die, suddenly had the courage of blood and energy, and he couldn't swallow the blow of Beijing that was picked by the Manchurians.

Azig raised 180,000 troops to march westward, and its pioneer was none other than Wu Sangui, the former general soldier of Ningyuan, who led the Qing army into the customs and was scolded by tens of millions of people.

After 50,000 Guanning iron cavalry in Taiyuan for more than a month, the army entered Tongguan westward, and before he could stand firmly, he heard that Li Zicheng gave up Xi'an and fled south, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, and he really scared Li Zicheng away without blood.

But just when Wu Sangui was about to march to take over Xi'an, a spy came to report, saying that Liu Zongmin, who was staying in Xi'an, raised 35,000 troops and was coming towards Tongguan.

Wu Sangui was furious, he and Liu Zongmin had a hatred for taking his wife, this is really an enemy to see each other, and he was very red-eyed, under the city of Tongguan, Wu Sangui personally went into battle, calmly commanded the Guanning Iron Cavalry, waited for work, and turned Liu Zongmin to a fart and pee.

Subsequently, Azig and Wu Sangui raised 180,000 troops out of Tongguan, took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and chased into Xi'an City, Liu Zongmin was killed on the way to escape, Li Guo was also seriously wounded, and the Dashun army just fled back to Xi'an, and the Qing army then killed.

Li Guo saw that there was no hope of defending the city, so he had to abandon Xi'an and lead the remnants of the army to the south to find Li Zicheng.

This Li Zicheng and his entourage of nearly 100,000 people, lack of food and clothing, embarrassed, since I heard that Xi'an was lost, the Qing army turned to kill himself, he has not slept a day for more than a month, really like the lost dog, panic all day long, follow his army every day there are a large number of escapes, the whole army is confused with extremely depressed atmosphere.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong sent troops from Chengdu again, occupied a section of Huguang, and often attacked and harassed the Shun army, so that the Shun army did not dare to march to the southwest, which made Li Zicheng even worse, and even worse, another Qing army also entered Jianghuai, preventing the Shun army from developing to the southeast.

The southeast and northwest are all enemies, Li Zicheng really has no way to enter the heavens and no door, and the once vigorous Dashun Dynasty can now control only the vast part of Ganshan Lake and part of the land west of Jianghuai, and in a blink of an eye, it has become the smallest branch in the world, and there is a possibility of falling apart from time to time.

When he went out of Xi'an, Li Zicheng still had the great wish to make a comeback, but with the difficult road of escape, the blow to his heart was also better day by day, and he was once a chaotic hero, even the emperor was the emperor, but at this time he could only flee endlessly in the ravine, how did this Li Zicheng not be angry, angry, resentful, or worried?

Finally, when he received the news of the defeat of Xi'an and the death of Liu Zongmin, he became ill from hard work, and when he left Wuchang and planned to transfer to Li Laixiang's department in Anqing, he couldn't afford to fall ill.

The troops moved slowly, and when they entered the boundary of Jiugong Mountain, Li Zicheng felt that his time was short, and he was sad and angry, and he didn't know what year and month he would be able to return to his hometown, so he led more than ten personal soldiers to the top of Jiugong Mountain with the support of his generals, and wanted to take another look at the place where he became famous and successful.

Standing on the top of Jiugong Mountain, Li Zicheng burst into tears, a mouthful of blood gushed out, the generals were shocked, when going down the mountain, they happened to meet hundreds of village group exercises composed of mountain people, because Li Zicheng's troops fled for days, dressed almost no different from robbers and mountain bandits, the mountain people thought it was a bandit down the mountain, and rushed up on the spot, beating more than ten Li Zicheng's personal soldiers to death, Li Zicheng was also seriously injured, and finally fled back to the camp, Li Zicheng only had half a life left, and he was angry.

This is busy with the Shun army ministers, the emperor is about to die, how can the Great Shun Dynasty continue, Emperor Li has been fighting for half his life, there is no heir, who will succeed him?

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Guo fled from Xi'an, although he was injured, but there was no major problem.

That night, when Li Zicheng was dizzy and dying, he passed down a posthumous photo and ordered his nephew Li Guo to succeed as the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty.

Early the next morning, the generals helped Li Guo to the main seat in the camp, and the mountain shouted long live, just like that, the second son of heaven of the Dashun Dynasty was in the military camp at the foot of Jiugong Mountain, and succeeded to the throne as emperor.

Li Guo issued the first edict of the Son of Heaven, killing Jiugong Mountain within a radius of ten miles, not a single inch of grass was left, and he hated the first emperor.

For a time, in the area of Jiugong Mountain, blood flowed like a river, and tens of thousands of people died.

The new dynasty also has a new atmosphere, Li Guo passed the decree, and Li Laixiang, who was stationed in Anqing Mansion, was the envoy of the Huaixi Festival, Bai Wang was the envoy of the Xiangyang Festival, Hao Shaoqi was the envoy of the Wuchang Festival, Yuan Zongdi was the commander of the camp, and so on.

Although the new emperor ascended the throne, on this happy day, no one in the Dashun Dynasty was happy, because Wu Sangui and Azig were still chasing behind their buttocks, and they were only more than 100 miles apart, and the Dashun New Dynasty was in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Fortunately, the army looted the area around Jiugong Mountain, got some supplies, and temporarily relieved the danger of food.

With supplies, you have to run, after Li ordered Yuan Zongdi to break off, the army continued in the direction of Anqing Mansion, where Li Laixiang had been operating for a long time, and all kinds of armaments were complete, and only by running there could he reorganize and start all over again.

Maybe it was God's help, not long after Li Guo succeeded to the throne, the heavy rain did not start for months, and the army of Azig and Wu Sangui was trapped in the Huguang Mountains and could not move.

Just when Wang Lanping and Kong Youde confronted each other in Yangzhou, Li Guo, who was scarred and sick, finally fled into the Anqing territory.

This is a busy person, this person is Yin Duming of Anqing Mansion of the Dashun Dynasty, that is, the former Huaining County Commander, Du Ningning's father.
