Chapter 673: Zuo Liangyu's Ambition (Fourth Watch)

Liu Zeqing, Ruan Dacheng and others also nodded incessantly, and echoed one after another, of course, they supported Ma Shiying, and they all insisted that this was a big misunderstanding.

Ma Shiying continued: "This matter was all done by Liu Kongzhao alone, Ma didn't know at all, and later Ma Mou beheaded Liu Kongzhao with a sword to avenge you. I didn't expect God to have eyes, and you are living in peace, thank God...... If you don't believe me, ask the master to behead Shiying to prove his innocence."

Ma Shiying put all the blame on Liu Kongzhao, anyway, the dead can't speak.

Ma Shiying's acting is also very similar, definitely more invested than the first-class actors in later generations, tears flowed, said, stretched his neck over, and let Wu Shen and others kill casually.

Wu Shen was dumbfounded all of a sudden, several monks, Lao Dao and Lu Qing looked at each other and nodded, and then believed Ma Shiying's words.

The point is that they still have illusions about Ma Shiying.

Now there is nowhere to go, Ma Shiying holds the power of Nanming, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, it is a place that can shelter from the wind and rain for a long time, if you want to seek a political future, there is still hope for relying on this person.

Therefore, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and they all scolded Liu Kongzhao for being unjust, and finally became a close family again.

Ma Shiying secretly rejoiced in his heart, you people practicing martial arts and worshiping the Buddha and reciting scriptures are all pieces of material, but when it comes to politics, you are too far behind!

There is a lack of martial arts masters around the old man, and I have to count on you to continue to work hard, the old man needs you, and the Southern Ming Dynasty needs you even more!

Ma Shiying and Wu Shenbing joined forces, hurried overnight, and came to the Jiujiang area a few days later. After Ningnan Marquis Zuo Liangyu took his son Zuo Mengeng to get the report, he hurried out of the city to greet him......

Zuo Liangyu is much stronger than the four towns in Jiangbei, this is the most powerful warlord in the late Ming Dynasty or the Southern Ming Dynasty, there is no first.

It is also one of the fierce generals on the battlefield that Chongzhen relied on, and had fought with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong for many years.

After being promoted to the general army, Zuo Liangyu dealt with the bandits Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, initially from only more than 2,000 people, and later developed to 200,000, and Li Zicheng fought many times, Zhang Xianzhong fled in despair, and later lived in Wuchang, and the soldiers and horses once exceeded 800,000.

Li Zicheng entered Yanjing, that Chongzhen added Zuo Liangyu as Ning Nanbo, Zuo Liangyu became the official of the feudal territory, and Zuo Liangyu was undoubtedly the first to support the army and respect himself, and the four towns in Jiangbei had to go to the back row.

Chongzhen ordered him to lead his troops north to King Qin, but soon after his soldiers and horses crossed the Yangtze River, he got the news that Shangjing was broken by Li Zicheng and Chongzhen was martyred, and Zuo Liangyu retreated to Wuchang.

Later, I heard that Chongzhen came back to life, and Li Zicheng was in Shangjing endlessly, and then suddenly drove to Shanhaiguan, defeated Dolgon, Li Zicheng defeated Shanhaiguan, and Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty became the final winner of the Shanhaiguan battle.

Zuo Liangyu felt that it was too weird.

Later, I heard that Chongzhen was actually dead, this Chongzhen was a pseudo-emperor, and he was disguised by a master of the Demon Sect, with the purpose of colluding with *** and dominating the world.

Zuo Liangyu was confused, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but he had his own plans, no matter whether Chongzhen was really dead or fake, and whether Zhu Yousong of Nanming was a pseudo-emperor or a true son of heaven, he didn't care about these, he just blindly developed and strengthened himself.

The lessons of these years have taught him that in this troubled world, as long as there are soldiers and horses, there is everything.

Otherwise, it's the opposite.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu took advantage of Li Zicheng's defeat all the way, he pretended to be ordered to march eastward, and the people and horses did not leave when they arrived in Jiujiang.

At this time, there happened to be a mutiny in the body, and after the first half of history, Zuo Liangyu died of illness in Jiujiang.

Now Zuo Liangyu is recuperating in Jiujiang.

But he was still ambitious, he knew that Nanming was now in the hands of the Ma family's father and son, Zuo Liangyu secretly crossed Chen Cang, and sent many soldiers and horses to attack the city and occupy the territory.

Lightning-like control of Huguang, that is, the later Hubei and Hunan provinces, and had a good relationship with He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and Yuan Jixian, the governor of Huguang.

The residences of these two court officials were in Jiujiang, therefore, in the north of Jiangxi and in the south of Anhui

A large and vast area such as the ministry has also become Zuo Liangyu's sphere of influence.

At present, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses have exceeded 1 million, but Zuo Liangyu is from the army after all, and many of his men and horses come from thieves, and the good and the bad are uneven, so the nature of the warlord is exposed.

Zuo Liangyu learned that Ma Shiying lost Nanjing, and took Zhu Yousong to take refuge in him, Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed, and felt that the opportunity to make a career had come, and when he arrived at my one-acre and three-point land, Zhu Yousong was the emperor, and Ma Shiying was the first assistant of the cabinet, but no matter what you are, you have to listen to me Zuo Liangyu!

Zuo Liangyu was so happy, his illness was miraculously cured.

Zuo Liangyu and his son Zuo Mengeng led their generals to Zhu Yousong to pay tribute to the monarch and ministers, and met the Ma cabinet, and after a while of politeness, they took Ma Shiying and Zhu Yousong and others into Jiujiang City......

had to go south to Beijing, and that night Chongzhen took Jinyiwei and Wang Chengen to the Nanjing Palace.

found that in order to escape, Ma Shiying and Zhu Yousong had no time to take away a large number of gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, and even the palace maids, eunuchs and concubines were still there.

It's not that they don't want to run, but the sky suddenly changes in the middle of the night, these weak women and eunuchs, they don't know where to run, they are blocked in the palace in a panic, they have to resign themselves to fate, and some are even ready to commit suicide.

After the Ming army broke the city, they surrounded the palace and the ministers' mansions. These palace maids, eunuchs, maids, maids, and maids all felt that the end of the world was coming, and they were paralyzed and trembling in fright.

Chongzhen decreed that all of them would be pardoned for their innocence, and those who were willing to leave would be given money and food for them, and those who were willing to stay would continue to stay.

These people were so pardoned that they even forgot to kneel down and kowtow in thanksgiving. There are really some bold, even desperate, who are willing to stay.

They think it's better to be Ming, or it's better to be the emperor of Daming.

That night, from the imperial palace to the civil and military ministers, the yamen, and then to the private houses, all were in order, and the common people knew that there was a war going on in Nanjing, and they were so frightened that they hid at home and did not dare to come out.

After a few days, Nanshangjing settled down.

The common people dared to take to the streets, but they didn't know that Nanshangjing had changed.

Some of them learned after a few days that the puppet emperor Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying and others had fled, and this place had become the world of the Ming Emperor, and the Ming Emperor Zhu Yousong had come to the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

These ordinary people whispered and discussed, Nanming was like a flash in the pan, and some didn't know it at all, most of the people had feelings for the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was still the emperor, and for this blessed king Zhu Yousong, it was a concept at all, he was not the emperor in the first place.

At this time, someone came to report that after the general Li Yan and the general Liu Zhaoji took Zhenjiang, they came to Nanjing Qinwang with 50,000 troops.

The purpose of Chongzhen is to rest the soldiers and horses in Nanjing, and after the 10th, he will go west to conquer Zuo Liangyu.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
