The network of relationships between civil officials and scholars is complicated, always you have me, I have you, Liu Fuzhi and Jiang Can and these officials are too familiar with the literati, and the original intentions of the two are surprisingly consistent with Zhou Huchen, which is nothing more than a series of each other, using the appeal of some people to create public opinion, such as Huang Zongxi of the Restoration Society and Qian Qianyi of Donglin.

The excuse is easy to find, and the compilation of the traitor spectrum is undoubtedly a fuse, and the two words traitor on the traitor spectrum are particularly thick, which is a different kind of bright color.

Literati like to do this kind of thing too much, especially some famous literati, I don't participate in who participates, how can this good thing left a name in history be missing themselves, and if you don't participate in yourself, you won't regret it for a lifetime. Countless people were dragged into the water, and Qian Qianyi, who was overwhelmed by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, finally stood up with the support of Liu Fuzhi and Jiang Can, Qian Qianyi began to convene the backbone of the Donglin Fu Society to participate in the compilation of the traitor genealogy, and then the literati who continued to rush to Nanjing began to send a message to invite people from all walks of life to Nanjing

Ma Shiying, the first assistant, felt pressured and uncontrollable as these literati began to point fingers at his ruling and appointed officials, and to comment on some officials. Those officials who relied on connections and bribes to get to the top were all scolded by these vitriolic remarks, and then pointed the finger at the first assistant Ma Shiying.

This is public opinion warfare, its role is to create momentum, the people in the Donglin Restoration Society are not good at military affairs, but they are absolutely the best in the world in terms of creating public opinion. The Ming people have their own way of fighting public opinion warfare, but they are not perfect enough, and Zhou Huchen just perfected it for these people who like to build momentum.

In just a few days, the city of Nanjing has become the world of these literati. Whether it is a restaurant, a street or a green house, there are all the shadows of these people wearing long shirts, polite and impassioned.

And all of a sudden. There was a kind of thing called leaflets in the city of Nanjing, and these leaflets were made by these literati who were not willing to be lonely. Although the flyer was just a thin piece of paper, the content on it made Ma Shiying feel shocked.

The common people followed suit and began to stir, and like these scholars, they demanded that corrupt officials be severely cracked down on under the wise leadership of Emperor Bixia, and that the brave and warlike Fu Chenghou command the army to immediately recover the northern land and fight to the northern capital to annihilate the Tartars.

This is the ocean of the people, and this is the effect that Zhou Huchen wants.

The emperor had been silent, not saying anything, he was equally afraid of being sprayed.

At the same time, the people of the Donglin Restoration Society showed enough tolerance for the emperor. There were no unfavorable actions and remarks against him, not only did he not find faults, but he also continued to advocate the merits of his wise emperor Bixia, and it was almost said that Emperor Hongguang was the wisest monarch in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The change in the direction of the wind of the Donglin people made Zhu Youxiang speechless, and the first assistant Ma Shiying did not dare to take any action at all, because suddenly, Zhou Yuji had his own army in Nanjing, not much, only a thousand people. But this thousand soldiers were enough to make all the troops in the city of Nanjing look up. The literati have praised Zhou Yuji's ability and exploits to the point that no one has ever come before, not to mention, there is a fierce Zhou Huchen in Yangzhou. Ma Shiying was a little scared, once he made a move. He was afraid that Zhou Huchen would come to Nanjing for a "visit", this guy liked to go shirtless too much!

This is a very obvious signal - Zhou Yuji and his son have stood with the Donglin people.

Immediately after, what was even more unfavorable to Ma Shiying was that Zhang Guowei arrived. This former secretary of the Ming military department is not something that Ma Shiying can control. As soon as the pro-Donglin secretary of the military department took office, he immediately began to adjust the deployment of troops in Nanjing, and immediately after, the officials of the military department also began to make adjustments. Liu Fuzhi and Jiang Can were reinstated. Liu Fuzhi entered the Ministry of War, and then took office as a squire in the Ministry of War, Jiang Can entered the Ministry of Officials as Langzhong, and Li Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was Ma Shiying's person, but Jiang Can's entry into the Ministry of Officials was undoubtedly a nail that pierced the balance of officials.

Now is the time to catch the pigtails, there are not many innocent people, especially these officials who cling to Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, and if the mouth is broken, they can't stop the spread of the water

There are constantly officials in the field, and there are constantly ugly things of officials that have been turned over, one ring after another, and soon, there is a royal history began to impeach the first assistant of the dynasty, followed by many officials involved.

Then, the leaflets on the streets of Nanjing that don't want money were scattered, and the old women on the street would have a few copies, and as for the content, Ma Shoufu didn't dare to read it, because these leaflets were almost all aimed at him, the head of the dynasty and those hardcore subordinates. Innocent, how can the officials of the Ming Dynasty be absolutely innocent? Even innocence will be made innocent by these sharp-toothed literati, not to mention, Ma Shoufu has never been innocent.

When the strength of the Nanjing garrison began to adjust, and some of the troops of Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong began to enter the city of Nanjing again, Ma Shiying finally understood that the emperor and the nobles had reached an agreement that they had no way to retreat, which was like the Yellow River bursting its banks, once it opened, it would be a torrent all over the land and unstoppable. If you lose, you have no power to fight back, and you can't retreat, and you are in a dilemma, and one hesitation is the end of being crushed!

Ma Shiying is unwilling, but what can he do if he is unwilling? The people in the Donglin Restoration Society once again occupied the highest point of morality; The people are fueling the flames, and the feelings of the people are turbulent; The sea of people is invincible! Zhou Yuji's father and son are even more invincible!

Interest is an eternal reason, so far Ma Shiying doesn't understand, he has a lot of trust in Zhou Yuji's father and son, and has been trying his best to help them, Zhou Yuji's father and son Weishenme treat themselves like this? Lord Shoufu wanted to cry aggrievedly, who else could help you like this except me?

Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, life is impermanent, Zhou Huchen's reason for stepping on him is not clear, but Ma Shoufu is afraid, and now he has a personal experience, Zhou Huchen can step on whoever he wants, and he is no exception. Donglin people can't believe that those people belong to the cultural people who trample on the dead and don't want to die and let you stink for thousands of years. Now, there is no way to retreat, he is already a pawn abandoned by the emperor. The only way out was to hope that the emperor would settle accounts after taking care of his support, and there was another person, who showed mercy to his subordinates based on some of his previous care for him.

Zhou Yujijun's supervisor Ye Yinzhi became Ma Shiying's life-saving straw, he did not ask Ye Yinzhi to let him keep the position of the first assistant, but to save his own life and the life of his family. It's easy to go up, it's hard to come down, and once he retreats, Ma Shiying is afraid that his entire family will be retaliated against. Because at the beginning, Ruan Dacheng did too much and too ruthlessly, once he returned to his hometown, he was afraid that he would retreat and be drowned by the frenzy of revenge.

Ma Shiying had to sigh that he underestimated Zhou Huchen's liliang and courage, the political struggle is dark, he underestimated the darkness of others, this is the price. His ascension to the throne relied on means and military generals. Now, I was also pressed to death by others, and in order to save my life, I had to rely on a martial artist, and it was the martial artist who stepped on him, which cannot but be said to be an irony.

It was this person who put himself on the fire to barbecue, but there was only one person who could be trusted, and this person was Zhou Huchen who put him on the fire and roasted him, although Zhou Huchen was more ruthless, but Ma Shiying knew. Zhou Huchen is a person who cares about the old feelings and keeps his promises, as long as he speaks, Donglin people don't dare to do anything to themselves. He can stay away from the circle of right and wrong. It's actually a good choice to go home and be a rich man

Ye Yinzhi, who was regarded as a life-saving straw by Ma Shiying, ran to Yangzhou, and he found Zhou Huchen, who was just happy and sent to the house to uncover the tiles.

Ye Yinzhi was also afraid, but this fear was much weaker than Ma Shiying, because he knew Zhou Huchen's temper. This lawless future colt never does anything to his own people.

"Congratulations to Zhou Shuai for becoming an official and becoming a knight, and he wants to be a court horse, congratulations!" When you enter the door, you look like you're a person. is very different from the incomparably respectful in the past, Ye Yinzhi knew that Zhou Huchen ate this set.

"Lord Ye is here, hurry up and sit down, why did you run back on a hot day!" Zhou Huchen was very enthusiastic, and his face was full of enthusiasm.

"I have something to find Xiaohu, it's a hot day, I'll take a break first!"

You're welcome, this is the experience that Ye Yinzhi summed up, and with a response, Ye Yinzhi, who was sweating profusely, returned the salute with his fists, and then turned around and sat down.

The subordinate brought a delicate small copper kettle, Ye Yinzhi was still polite, and the courtesy was waived, he waved his hand so that the subordinate did not have to wait, and then directly lifted the small copper kettle and poured out the sour plum soup in the pot is a cow drink.

"It's still cold, I enjoy it so much, it's better to be this Yangzhou!"

Zhou Huchen looked at Ye Yinzhi, who had completely changed his style of doing things, and he smiled without saying a word.

"Admire! You forced me here! ”

Ye Yinzhi can be said to be admired by Zhou Huchen, this young man who is less than twenty years old is simply possessed by demons, not only invincible in battle, but also able to decide the life and death of people at will, killing Qin Cha is already a pediatric, even the first assistant of the current dynasty is now forced to a dead end by him, Ye Yinzhi sent Zhou Huchen to kneel.

There are some things between smart people that don't need to be picked out, Zhou Huchen knows what Ye Yinzhi is talking about: "If you invite yourself, you can keep you safe." ”

Although Ma Shiying wields power, although some things are not authentic, he is quite talented in practice, but he lacks some foresight. He can be said to be kind to Zhou Huchen's father and son. Zhou Huchen is not a person who forgets his roots, he will not force Ma Shiying to a dead end, but it also blocks the possibility of Ma Shiying continuing to be high.

"A lot of handsome adults, admire!" What Ye Yinzhi needs is this sentence, Ma Shiying has already sent someone to explain to him that the people of Donglin are unreliable, and he needs Zhou Hu to give such a promise.

"Lord Ye has done a good job as a prison army, he has been running before and after, our army's great victory also has your great merit, and he will have to compete with Jiannu later, there are many battles waiting for us, and greater merit is still waiting for my lord, this prison army will definitely be praised by the imperial court, and Lord Ye will definitely have a bright future."

Zhou Huchen smiled, this is a smile of victory.

Ye Yinzhi needs these words even more! The reason why he came here in style is because he has already thought about it, Ma Shiying stepped down, and his future is in the hands of Zhou Huchen, although he has been on the thief ship before, Ye Yinzhi has completely sold himself this time. Zhou Huchen's promise is equivalent to taking refuge in him, and if he doesn't promise that his life is not in danger, he will leave and go home to guard his wife and children to spend his old age in peace, this is the reason why Ye Yinzhi is chic.

Ye Yinzhi stood up: "Military affairs, dare not serve!" ”

"Then please, sir!" Zhou Huchen returned the gift with a pun.

Victory belongs to the wise, and Zhou Huchen believes that he is the wise man. Everything is under control, liliang comes from being strong, and only when you are strong can you be qualified to draw a big pie, and how to draw this big cake is the purpose of being qualified to participate. Who will replace Ma Shiying is none of his business, this shijie is not all fools, the goal is achieved, it is enough to fool once, and he will accept it when he sees it, and it is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of civil officials, but in terms of military affairs, he must have his own right to speak, and his future must be in his own hands.

In June of the first year of Hongguang, Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the dynasty, asked for a letter to Shi.

Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youxiang rejected it without hesitation, saying that Sheji relied on it to stay. A few days later, Ma Shiying again appealed for illness, but Emperor Zhu Youxiang rejected it again.

According to the feudal etiquette law, if the official wants to retreat, the emperor will say that the society is relied on and retained, and the official insists on not blocking the descendants, and after repeating it several times, the emperor is no longer reluctant, and allows the official to return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace with preferential treatment. The preferential treatment of old and useless officials reflects the emperor's gifts; Unwilling to eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, the whole body retreats reflects the morality of officials. Therefore, "the king is gracious to the ministers, the ministers are righteous and righteous, the greedy is to rest, and let the right is done." This kind of harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister was very important for consolidating the foundation of the rule. This reflects the harmony of the relationship between the monarch and the minister and the normal operation of the Zhishi system, for the current imperial court, this ancient rite represents the continuation of the superior and inferior system, and also represents the further stability of the imperial court.
