Chapter 274: The Rise of the Imperial Party
Ning Wan said: "Lord He Luohui, is the news reliable?" β
He Luo said: "It should be no problem, because the news is provided by the Fan family." β
Hong Chengchou said: "If it is the news provided by the Fan family, then there should be no problem." β
The Fan family that Hong Chengchou and He Luohui said was Fan Yongdou, one of the eight Jin merchants.
As early as the old slave period, Fan Yongdou and other eight Jin merchants began to secretly sell grain to Jiannu, and Jiannu's several food shortages were only survived by relying on Fan Yongdou and them smuggling grain.
In exchange, Jiannu would hand over the gold, silver, and jewelry looted from the looting of the customs to the Jin merchants.
With silver, the strength of the Eight Great Jin Merchants became stronger, and they were able to provide more food to Jiannu, and in addition, the Eight Great Jin Merchants would also provide Jiannu with news of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, the eight Jin merchants have extended their tentacles to the south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that up to now, the intelligence network of the eight major Jin merchants in Jiangnan is not strong enough, so they can only provide some information that is not confidential.
This party struggle is only known.
But this is still enough to help Jiannu's top management make accurate judgments. @η²Ύε\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~
He Luohui said: "Master, why does the Donglin Party want to help me in the Qing Dynasty?" β
Dolgon waved his hand and said, "The Donglin Party doesn't want to help us with the Qing Dynasty, but just wants to use the hands of our Qing soldiers to eradicate Chongzhen for them." β
"What the master said is very true." Hong Chengchou said, "Chongzhen first purged the border army of Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong in four towns by iron-fisted means, and then expanded it into a border army of thirty towns, and then sent the prince of Qin to Huai'an to train the township brave, and the military power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and he will also engage in Juntian in Guide, which will naturally be feared by the Donglin Party." β
He Luo said: "Chongzhen is the emperor, equivalent to the master, isn't it normal for him to control the military power?" β
Fan Wencheng said: "This is true for me in the Qing Dynasty, but it is not the case for the Ming Dynasty, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, such as those civil officials of the Donglin Party, hope that the emperor can be a puppet honestly." β
"To be a puppet?" He Luo would say, "Let the emperor be a puppet?" β
"What those civil officials in the Ming Dynasty have pursued for generations is to make the emperor a puppet, or a tablet." Hong Chengchou said, "Because what Confucianism advocates is the co-governance of scholars and doctors. β
Ning Wan said: "The so-called co-governance of scholars and doctors is actually the final say of civil officials. β
He Luo said: "Hey, to put it bluntly, it's still a struggle for power, the emperor wants to encroach on the power of civil officials, and civil officials also want to limit the power of the emperor, and in the end, if they can't settle down, they will fight each other, so who loses this time?" β
Hong Chengchou said: "At present, it seems that it is a draw, no one has won, no one has lost." β
Ning Wan said: "But if Chongzhen is killed by my Qing soldiers, it will be the Donglin Party that has won." β
Dolgon knocked on the table and suddenly asked, "Three gentlemen, can you get in touch with the Donglin Party and secretly reach a tacit understanding with it?" After all, we have a common goal, and we all want to die! β
"Master, don't even think about this." Hong Chengchou said, "Those people in the Donglin Party are pedantic, although they want to limit the emperor's power, the emperor does not cooperate and even dares to directly murder the emperor, but they are stubbornly guarding the difference between Huayi and China, and they are extremely hostile to our Qing Dynasty, so they will definitely not join forces with us to deal with Chongzhen." β
"It's a pity." Dolgon sighed, "What a chance. β
Hong Chengchou said: "Actually, there is no pity, the Donglin Party is just a group of pedantic and incompetent people, there are more than enough failures, and cooperating with other generations may cause bad things." β
Fan Wencheng said: "And the imperial party and the Donglin party in the Southern Ming Dynasty have completely torn their faces, although there is a tie this time, this does not mean that the two sides can be at peace, and there will definitely be more and more fierce conflicts between the two sides later, which will definitely affect Nanming's support for Xuzhou." β
"What Xiandou said is extremely true." Ning Wan nodded and said.
"The party struggle in Nanjing can only make matters worse for the Ming army in Chongzhen and Xuzhou."
Hong Chengchou said: "I already knew that there was only three rations in Xuzhou City, and if the grain and grass from Nanjing could not enter Xuzhou City, at most no more than half a year, Xuzhou would inevitably be defeated." β
Dorgon nodded happily, "Then we'll see." β
β¦β¦
Almost. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 274: The Rise of the Imperial Party
At the same time, Chongzhen also knew the news of the party dispute.
The news was sent in by Yang Ponu, and this was the third time he had sent a letter into Xuzhou, but compared with the previous two times, this time the water was much easier, because the water temperature was high.
Chongzhen knew much more information than Jiannu.
To tell the truth, Chongzhen was still a little surprised by this.
What surprised Chongzhen a little was not the party struggle itself, it was too normal for Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang to take this opportunity to launch a party struggle, and what Chongzhen was surprised by was that Shi Kefa actually turned back.
Chongzhen thought that there would definitely be officials secretly helping the Imperial Party, and even thought that the Donglin Party would most likely fall apart, but he really didn't expect that Shi Ke would be against the water.
Shi Kefa is the leader of the Donglin Party.
Now it's actually an imperial party? It was such a surprise.
What surprised Chongzhen even more was that Shi Kefa still had the courage to be pretentious, others didn't know, but Chongzhen knew very well that he didn't leave any secret edicts for Meng Zhaoxiang and them at all, so this could only be an edict.
Shi Kefa's paper edict directly frustrated the intention of the Donglin Party.
So now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still firmly in the hands of the Imperial Party.
The Donglin Party could not control the Internal Affairs Office, and they could not cut off the money and grain in Xuzhou.
Chongzhen can completely imagine how anxious the Donglin Party people in Nanjing should be at this time?
But no matter how anxious you are, you can't grasp the opportunity, who is to blame? I can only "help" you here.
If the Donglin Party fails to succeed, Chongzhen's next plan will be affected, that is, it will weaken the degree of hatred and antagonism of King Qin's party against the Donglin Party.
But at this time, the arrow is already on the string, and it is not possible to send it.
At that moment, Chongzhen instructed Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, gather all the scholars!" β
In addition to Yan Yingyuan, Huang Zongxi and a few others who went out, Wang Chengen quickly summoned more than 60 scholars who stayed in Xuzhou to Chongzhen's line.
Chongzhen let the scholars read the secret letter sent by Nanjing.
After reading the secret letter, more than 60 scholars were immediately angry.
"What do these elders want to do?"
"Can't you see it yet? They want to cut off Xuzhou's money and food! β
"That's right, Zhang Youyu didn't have a good heart when he took over the Internal Affairs Office, if the Internal Affairs Office really let the household department take over, how much money and grain can be left to Xuzhou? Officials drifted layer by layer along the way, how many percent are left? β
"How much? You also think too highly of them, and there is only one achievement left to burn high incense. _o_m β
"They want to starve to death our Shizi battalion, starve to death the saint, and starve to death more than a million soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City! The minds of the princes of the DPRK and China are really vicious, and we are just a bargaining chip in their hands? β
"What a bullshit pavilion old, bullshit department, all silverfish! It's a national thief! β
"The reason why my Daming has fallen to such a point today is because of these people."
"What do you call these people? It is the Donglin Party, it is the Donglin Party, these silverfish are not as good as the Eunuch Party, the Eunuch Party can still refuse to build slaves outside the Guan, but since they became in power, the Ming Dynasty has been in a bad situation, lost Liaodong and Liaoxi, lost Liaoxi and Shanhaiguan, and finally even lost the entire north, and now wants to bury Xuzhou! β
"Holy Lord, this matter must not be stopped, it is better to raise troops and kill back to Nanjing, Qingjun's side!"
"Are you stupid? What is the gentleman's side? The saint is in Xuzhou, he is a thief! β
"Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, these silverfish have been smeared, kill the thief, you must kill the thief!"
Looking at the more than 60 scholars who were thunderous and indignant, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that this move is the right move again, from this moment on, the Shizi Battalion will completely draw a line with the Donglin Party, even if it is like Huang Zongxi, Zhang Huangyan, Gu Yanwu and other scholars who are inextricably linked with the Donglin Party, they also draw a clear line.
Because the image of the Donglin Party's "Zhongzheng Yingchao" has collapsed and has disappeared.
After the collapse of the Donglin Party, his Chongzhen's Imperial Party will rise from the ruins of the Donglin Party.
The more than 60 scholars in front of them, as well as the more than 6,000 Qinwang scholars behind them, will become the backbone of the imperial party without hesitation from now on!
"Silence!" Chongzhen beckoned, and the hall fell silent.

Chapter 274: The Rise of the Imperial Party
After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "There are priorities, although the Donglin Party's approach is infuriating, but we can't see them in general, if we give up Xuzhou at this time and go back to Nanjing to clear out the national thieves, then we can only let the slave fishermen benefit, and we must not do this kind of self-harm." β
Zheng Sen said: "But if you don't eradicate these national thieves first, the rear will be unstable, and the front line will inevitably be chaotic." β
"What Brother Damu said is extremely true." Zheng Zunqian also echoed, "The failure of the Donglin Party to seize power will never stop here, and the second or even the third conspiracy will definitely be launched next. β
"Not bad." Zheng Sen continued, "If the Internal Affairs Office falls into the hands of their peers, Xuzhou's money and food will inevitably be cut off, and it is meaningless to hold on to Xuzhou with the Holy Lord, it is better to return to Nanjing as soon as possible to eliminate the national thieves, and after cleaning up the national thieves above the court, then raise troops to the Northern Expedition." β
"That's not the most worrying thing." Jin Xuan, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "The most troublesome thing is that if the Donglin Party colludes with Jiannu, then Jiannu only needs to send a partial division all the way south to capture Nanjing, so that the saint and I are really homeless, and Xuzhou's persistence will be meaningless." β
"Don't worry. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~" Chongzhen said with a smile.
"The Donglin Party has done everything they can, but there are still differences between Huayi, at least for now, it is impossible for them to secretly collude with Jiannu."
