Yixing City.
Zhai Zhe was dressed in civilian clothes and walked along the mountain road with Li Zhi'an and Yuan Qizhou and other generals, and Lu Xiangsheng's grave was in front.
It's never been so lively as it is today.
Hearing that Zhai Zhe wanted to worship Lu Xiangsheng, not only did the Tang King send eunuchs as envoys, but also the Cabinet University Shima Shiying, the governor of Zhejiang, Chen Zilong, and the former Lu Wangfu Zhang Guowei all arrived here, and Zheng Zhilong also asked his son Zheng Sen to come.
Lu Xiangtong, Lu Xiangjin and others were busy receiving the courtiers, and the Lu family was full of birds, and suddenly became like a market.
Zhou Yanru's tomb is not far from Lu Xiangsheng's curtain, which is a white marble tomb, surrounded by pines and cypresses, and overgrown with weeds. Zhou Yanru was robbed of his house and died, and the Zhou family was completely defeated.
Zhai Zhe placed the head of Gao Qiqian in front of Lu Xiangsheng's tomb, took off the waist knife that Lu Xiangsheng gave him, and kowtowed: "Master Lu, after five years, I finally avenge you." Not only that, but I also drove away the Qing captives and recovered Jiangnan, which is in vain for your teachings to me. ”
Chen Zilong wrote a special memorial essay and read it with gusto.
This sacrificial ceremony is actually a gathering of General Pingyu's group. Sitting in Zhai Zhe's seat, it is difficult to do a simple thing, even if he doesn't think much about it, others will speculate, making Zhai Zhe's bow even more like a show.
The young Zheng Sen was dressed in white, and since he appeared, his eyes have never left Zhai Zhe's figure. He arrived in Nanjing with his father, and although he made the right move, he could not prevent his father from being toyed with by the person in front of him. As long as my father is Fujian and Guangdong, he is really short-sighted. If you can't control the government, you will eventually become a piece of meat under someone else's knife.
Where is the government? Nanjing, of course.
"Traitor in troubled times!" Watching Zhai Zhe's performance, Zheng Sen's heart was cold.
People who have not experienced that bloody battle do not understand Zhai Zhe's feelings for Lu Xiangsheng. People who don't follow Zhai Zhe all year round won't understand what he is like.
Of course, Zhai Zhe wouldn't know that someone was slandering him behind him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. There are people in the world who love him, and there are people who hate him, and now it seems that there are more people who love him.
With the armies on both sides of the Yangtze River in full swing, the imperial court in Nanjing City slowly stepped onto the rails.
At the end of October, Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu visited the Ming Tomb and held an enthronement ceremony again. Compared with this time, the enthronement in Fuzhou can only be regarded as shabby, and envoys were sent to Jiangnan, Liangguang and Huguang.
Feng Zhu Dadian is the secretary of the Ministry of War, the cabinet is assistant, Huang Daozhou is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Kentang is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Yingzhi is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ma Shiying is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Zheng Xuan is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Originally, the Ministry of Industry was kept for Zhang Guowei, but Zhang Guowei never obeyed the edict, so that Tang Wang was happy to give the cabinet scholars brought out from Fujian an extra position. The cabinet was downsized, and except for these few scholars, the others were no longer cabinet scholars.
Huang Daozhou arrived in Nanjing and brought Jin Shenghuan's letter of surrender.
Jin Shenghuan was willing to cut off his braids and return to the Ming Dynasty, but begged the Tang King to make him the governor of Jiangxi.
The Qing court had abandoned Jiangnan, and he would either take refuge in the Ming Dynasty or retreat to Jiangbei, or he would face a siege on all sides. A month ago, he received a handwritten letter from Zhu Yujian, and after waiting for these days, seeing that the situation in Jiangnan was gradually calming down, he finally made up his mind to turn his back on the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Longwu took good care of Huang Daozhou and praised him. After all, Huang Daozhou was the hero who supported him as the king back then, and there are not many people worthy of his trust.
Huang Daozhou didn't give Zhu Yujian face, he took Jin Shenghuan's letter of surrender and ran for nearly a thousand miles, but he didn't know the contents, and listened to the little eunuch read it in the court, and immediately played righteous words:
"Your Majesty, this must not be, the Ming Dynasty has never had a precedent for the commander of the general, if Jin Shenghuan is the governor of Jiangxi, the generals of the world will follow suit, and the world will be in chaos."
Zhu Yujian didn't expect that someone would oppose it in court, and the reason why he asked the little eunuch to read it out was precisely to show his attitude.
"At present, the Qing army is gathering on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court cannot mobilize troops and horses from the south of the Yangtze River to conquer Jin Shenghuan."
Zhu Yujian's tone was euphemistic, and Huang Daozhou's attitude made him bored for no reason.
This is no longer what it used to be, and of course it is no longer possible to follow precedent. He must first defeat the Qing captives and ensure that the Qing court no longer threatens Jiangnan, so that he can free up his hands to solve the rebellion in the military town. Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong are already like this, and he doesn't mind setting up a few more military towns. Only when these people check and balance each other, can he, the emperor, sit down steadily.
Huang Daozhou was tempered and insisted: "Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi, is garrisoning troops in Ganzhou, and Liangguang can also mobilize troops and horses to go north." ”
The people in the court were all listening to Huang Daozhou's words, Zhu Dadian couldn't help it, and said in a sour tone: "The Huang Pavilion Department is so insistent, dare to supervise the army to attack Jin Shenghuan?" ”
This is to expose the scar in front of the person, Huang Daozhou's face was blue and white for a while, and he was stunned for a long time, and said, "Why don't you dare?" ”
Zhu Dadian turned to Emperor Longwu Qixuan: "The Yellow Pavilion is highly respected, if you can go to Jiangxi to supervise the war, you will definitely be able to defeat Jin Shenghuan, please ask Your Majesty Xià to give permission." ”
How dare Emperor Longwu let Huang Dao Zhou supervise the battle, and shook his head again and again. Seeing that his two closest civil servants could not get along, he was troubled and said, "This matter will be discussed later." ”
Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong did not participate in the court meeting on the grounds of inspecting the river defense, but the slightest rumor of Nanjing City could not escape the eyes and ears of the two.
Zhu Dadian was arrogant at the moment, Huang Daozhou had no good end to fighting with him like this, Ma Shiying did not say a word in the cabinet, and reported the news to the two newly crowned princes every day. He has experienced the turmoil of the four towns in Jiangbei and knows who is in charge of this imperial court.
The weather is gradually getting cooler, the war in the south of the Yangtze River has not changed, but Huguang has set off strong winds and waves.
Encouraged by the war situation in Jiangnan, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and the governor of Huguang, He Tengjiao, mobilized the remnants of Li Zicheng's Dashun army from Hunan to attack Hubei, which was occupied by the Qing court. Plugging Yinxi besieged Jingzhou, and He Tengjiao led his troops into Wuhan.
Sure enough, ten days later, Huang Daozhou was ordered to leave Nanjing and go to Hunan Governor He Tengjiao to supervise the battle. Zhu Yujian has to make a choice between Huang Daozhou and Zhu Dadian, not to mention that he now feels that Huang Daozhou is a little unreasonable, he wants to use Huang Daozhou's prestige, but he doesn't want such an inflexible person in the court.
Huang Daozhou left on the front foot, and Zhu Dadian immediately started to investigate, to investigate the sin of surrendering Jiangnan and surrendering to the Qing squire a few months ago.
Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, was initially unallowed, unwilling to lead the wind and waves in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the situation that was rarely stable would change again.
After Zhai Zhe heard the news, he also made a twist in the name of General Pinglu, saying that the squires who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty brutalized the people of the Jiangnan Righteous Army, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they were not investigated. However, for the sake of the overall situation, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes are difficult to resolve, and all the squires who were officials in the Qing court can be confiscated.
Ma Shiying, the head of the household department, immediately wrote a letter to express his support, and Emperor Longwu finally approved Zhu Dadian's proposal.
At the same time as liquidating the old ministers, it is the moment when the new ministers are extremely rich, and the silver has infinite **** for Zhu Dadian, and he is not doing it for Zhai Zhe.
In addition to Ying Tianfu Zhai Zhe did not intervene, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Huzhou Mansion and Guangde Mansion, within the seven mansions, soldiers were rampant. Zong Mao's movements were so fast that the cabinet didn't react. Zhu Dadian only got the approval of Emperor Longwu, and within seven days, General Pinglu copied 348 households.
All the family property and land deeds were all pocketed by Zong Mao, and a total of three or four thousand people were hunted down and concentrated in Hangzhou Mansion.
The real evil has long since retreated to Jiangbei with the Qing captives. They were gone, and their money and possessions were taken away from their homes, but their houses and fields were not taken away. The house was immediately auctioned for silver, and the land was taken over to General Pingyu.
Zhai Zhe didn't kill anyone, he had already got what he wanted, so why bother to see blood.
All localities seized the opportunity to check all the officials who had encroached on the land of the military garrison, and reclaimed the land and leased it to the tenants in the name of the general's palace.
