"Mr. Chen'an, Mr. Zhongzhou, Pei Gong. What do you think King Geng Dong wants to do? ”

In a mansion in the city of Luzhou, Li Zhongshan, who had just settled his supervisor's office, immediately found his military advisors Wan Sinian, Chen Zisheng and Zhou Chang to discuss his own kingship.

These three people are nominally military advisors, but the ones who are really proficient in military affairs and have a chance to plan are Zhou Chang and Zhou Peigong, Wan Sinian and Chen Zisheng are actually not very good at fighting. However, the role of these two people in Li Zhongshan's camp cannot be ignored.

Among them, Wan Sinian was Huang Zongxi's protégé, who followed his teacher Huang Zongxi to Guangdong to run the Restoration School, and was one of the leaders of the Jiangnan Department of Reformers.

Chen Zisheng is the brother of Chen Zizhuang, one of the three loyalists in Lingnan, who once served as the military department of the Yongli Dynasty, and hid in the mountains after the failure of the Qing Dynasty, traveled the rivers and lakes, and did not serve the Qing Dynasty. After Guangdong was occupied by Huo Lu Bu and his son, he was invited by Chen Gongyin, the son of Chen Bangyan, who was also one of the three loyalists of Lingnan, to become Xiao Huo Lu Bu and serve as Xiao Huo Lu Bu's staff and professor of the lecture martial arts, and since then he has joined the Lingnan family of scholars and doctors of the Reform School.

And the Jiangnan and Lingnan factions of the Restorationist faction were both shareholders of Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan's undertakings - without the Jiangnan system, Li Zhongshan's set of theories developed based on "Mingyi to be Interviewed" would have been difficult to complete, and no one could help advocate and disseminate it. Without the Lingnan lineage, it would have been impossible for the reformers to spread their branches in Guangdong, and it would have been impossible for the Li family and his son to implement a new policy in Guangdong and build Guangdong into an anti-Qing base area.

Therefore, Li Zhongshan not only used the Restoration Conference to introduce the Jiangnan Department and the Lingnan Department of scholars into the center of the new Ming Dynasty, but also brought the leaders of the Jiangnan Department and the Lingnan Department around him to show closeness and reuse.

In addition, although Wan Sinian and Chen Zizhuang are not good at fighting wars and cannot manage logistics, they are very good at political disputes, and there are also many classmates and disciples who serve in various yamen of the Nanjing Imperial Court, and their ears and eyes are very clear.

Regarding the question of what Geng Jingzhong wants to do, they may know more than Zhou Peigong!

"King Geng Dong must be trying to murder the lord!" It was Chen Zisheng who spoke, his name Qiao Sheng, his name Zhongzhou, nearly sixty years old, he was very thin, but his eyes were blazing, and he was very bright, and he saw through Geng Jingzhong's conspiracy at a glance!

Although he also didn't understand what was the inevitable connection between the murder of Li Yat-sen and the appointment of him as the king of England? However, Geng Jingzhong wanted to harm Nanjing Sanzhongtang and then monopolize the dynasty, and finally seek to usurp the throne and become the emperor, which could not be concealed from the group of reformist scholars in Nanjing - they are all historians, specializing in the study of rebellious ministers and thieves, and many of them have practical experience in being rebellious ministers and thieves.

Geng Jingzhong's bad is compared with others, that is pediatrics!

"So he wants to paralyze me by helping me become king, and then take advantage of my indiscretion and murder me in one fell swoop?" Li Zhongshan made up for it, and almost guessed Geng Jingzhong's thoughts.

It doesn't matter if you can't guess the rest of the three, three, two, or two, anyway, it's better than engaging in conspiracy to harm people!

Li Zhongshan knows how to hurt people best!

"Lord, you have to guard against him being Geng Jingjiao!" Wan Sinian, who is three years younger than Chen Zizhuang and has also studied the chaotic ministers and thieves all his life, also held his goatee, squinted his small eyes, and began to analyze Geng Jingzhong's "badness", "His little strength is not enough, unless he joins forces with Yue Le, Li Zhifang, Fan Chengmo, and Turberg!" With their troops, the lives of the Lord Tu, Lu Zhongtang, and Chen Zhongtang were killed.

In fact, Geng Jingzhong's grandfather Geng Zhongming did the matter of taking refuge in the Tartars to seek wealth! Among the three Shun kings, Kong Youde's defection to the Manchu Qing may have been caused by the mutiny of the soldiers who were afraid of fighting with the Manchurians and were angry with the Shandong gentry, and Shang Kexi was because Dongjiang Town was defeated after Mao Wenlong was killed, and only Geng Zhongming took the initiative to surrender to the Tartars for wealth! We must prevent his grandson from doing the same thing again! ”

In the Wuqiao Mutiny that year, Geng Zhongming's actions were the worst! Without him as an internal response, Kong Youde would not have been able to capture Dengzhou at all, and without Sun Yinglong, who had deceived the Tianjin Navy, Kong Youde would not have been able to get a ship to cross the sea and surrender to the Tartars.

Moreover, Geng Zhongming was a close confidant of Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and he was not sent to support Dalinghe City, let alone suffered grievances in Wuqiao, and his rebellion and surrender to Tartar was not forced and helpless at all, it was completely voluntary, and his behavior was the worst.

"It must be so!" Li Zhongshan nodded heavily, "How should the official crack his conspiracy?" ”

Now Wan Sinian and Chen Zisheng have no tricks, and they are good at exposing the bad guys, but how to eliminate the bad guys is not big for them. So the two old men looked at Zhou Chang with a smile.

Zhou Chang's stomach is bad, Geng Jingzhong must not be as bad as him!

Zhou Chang had not participated in the discussion before, and his brows were tightly locked, as if he was thinking hard, and when he saw the eyes of the two old men, he considered and said, "Lord, you should resign from the title of King of England. This is the number of etiquette, and three words are necessary. In addition, he had to send someone to thank Geng Jingzhong and give gifts. At the same time, step up the attack on Anqing Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion! ”

"Pei Gong, do you mean that I should pretend to be confused in order to induce Geng Jingzhong to expose his scheme?"

"No," Zhou Pei said fairly, "There are two advantages to attacking Anqing Mansion, one is that Geng Jingzhong can rest assured that he can advance his plot!" Geng Jingzhong's own strength is not enough, and he wants to unite with the Tartars to usurp the throne, and the Tartars he unites have actually been greatly injured, and the people are panicking. Such a union will definitely reveal many flaws, and as long as the time comes, it should not be difficult to resolve them.

The second is that now that the land exchange between King Li Zhong and Wu Sangui has been completed, the old prince's 30,000 troops can come to Anqing by land from Huangzhou to join us. The old prince's army is well-trained and elite, and it is also equipped with a large number of firearms, as long as they arrive in Anqing, not only Anqing can be taken quickly, but also the Geng family army on the south bank of the Jiangnan of Anhui high-ranking officials will also have a great deterrence!

At that time, as long as Geng Jingjiao's conspiracy is exposed, we can eradicate it in one fell swoop!

Third, let's also see the reaction of His Royal Highness King Ding, Geng Jingzhong wants to usurp the throne of the Zhu family! ”

"Good!" Li Zhongshan nodded, he already understood what Zhou Chang meant.

Zhou Chang meant to let Geng Jingzhong go to the waves to expose first, and the Li family father and son only had to fight Anqing and Jiujiang diligently, and at the same time engage in a "loyalty, Ying, and South" three kings division, when the time came, more than 100,000 or 200,000 strong troops went to the upper reaches of Nanjing, and asked Geng Jingzhong's subordinates and the group of Tartars who cooperated with Geng Jingzhong were afraid?

At the same time, you can also see what tricks Zhu Cijiong can have?

"Supervisor, Supervisor" Luo Dawei's loud voice suddenly came from outside the capital hall where Li Zhongshan and others were discussing, "The last general has caught a traitor surnamed Jin!" ”

Jin Fu caught it!

When the Huaixi Red Turban Army broke the Luzhou Mansion before, the governor of Anhui stood out under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, and Luo Dawei took the soldiers to chase after him, and now he has finally been caught.

Li Zhongshan laughed, stood up and walked out, and said as he walked, "Brother Ziyuan, are you outside?" You're scared! ”

Ziyuan is Jin Fu's name, and the reason why Li Yat-sen is so affectionate with him is because this person is a very famous little expert in river governance!

Seeing that there is Li Zhongshan, who leads the southeast, he can now be pointed to help solve the floods of the Huai River and the Yellow River - this Huanghuai flood plus a canal that can never be repaired will consume the national strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties in history!

The Great Plains on both sides of the Huai River were supposed to be rich in grain, but they were flooded year after year, and finally flooded into the old area of the Twist Army!

The Qing Dynasty spent an average of several million taels of silver on river work a year, and spent a small billion yuan for more than 200 years, but it was useless!

This big hole must be filled once and for all!

Suzhou, Humble Administrator's Garden, the residence of the Liangjiang Governor's Office in the Qing Dynasty.

The governor of Liangjiang, the military affairs of Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Zhejiang, the minister of Jiangdong battalion management, and the prince of An, Yue Le, were in the capital hall at this time, and the atmosphere was depressing.

Yue Le is still an official of the Qing Dynasty, but he has withdrawn his troops from the city of Nanjing in accordance with the secret agreement with Geng Jingzhong, and abandoned the two prefectures of Zhenjiang and Changzhou, and also withdrew the army of the Jiangbei battalion and Shi Lang's Yangtze River naval division to Suzhou and Taicang.

In addition, his office was also moved from Zhenjiang to Suzhou.

After settling down in the Humble Administrator's Garden, Yue Le asked people to recruit important Qing officials on the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the big guys had to discuss how to continue to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

Now the Jiangbei region of Jiangsu cannot be defended, so the communication between the Jiangnan Qing army and the Beijing court can only be by sea. However, considering the strength of the Zheng family's naval division, this sea route is okay for communication, so don't think about transporting troops.

Therefore, the Jiangnan Qing army will be a lone army in the future!

How do you hold on to a lone soldier?

Also, if you want to surrender by fraud, how can you ensure that you will not be swallowed up by Geng Jingzhong after the surrender passes?

If Geng Jingzhong really succeeded in plotting the dynasty and usurping the throne, then will the big guy be the founding father of the "Geng Dynasty", or will he jump back to the Qing Dynasty as the third minister?

All of the above must be discussed!

But as soon as Yue Le told everyone about Jiang Wei's deception as the Qing Dynasty version of the living Jiang Wei, these loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty were dumb all at once.

The real Jiang Wei in history didn't end well, and now he still learns Jiang Wei? Isn't this death?

In addition, the Manchurians, the Mongols, and a small number of hardcore traitors, of course, can be defrauded, but what about the people below? Will they really fall?

If the people below really descended, what about the people above? What about the family members of the big guy in Beijing?

Inside the capital, there was a dead silence.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Fan Chengmo, who was born in the first slave family of the Qing Dynasty, sigh and said, "Lord Wang, we can cheat and support Geng Jingzhong. But it must be ordered! ”

What? Surrendered by order? Who can make such a decree?

Yue Le shook his head: "Duke of Hajj, how could the emperor and the regent make such an order?" ”

Although Shang Zhixin urged him to explain to Fuquan Shangqi that day that he wanted to be Jiang Wei's business, he also agreed. But in the end, I really don't know what to say? So this enlightenment has only made the beginning so far. Now when he heard that someone was going to surrender by order, he could only cry and laugh.

"The emperor and regent of the Jin Dynasty once issued such an order!" Fan Chengmo stroked his beard and said, "Has King An forgotten Qin Hui?" ”

"Qin Hui?"

"Qin Hui was originally a Song minister, but after the Jingkang disaster, he had already become a Jin minister, and he fled to the Southern Song Dynasty to become a Song minister, he must have been ordered. Therefore, Qin Zhongxian Gong is actually the first loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty! King An, are you now going to be the first loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Ah, the living Jiang Wei has become a living Qin juniper!

Prince An Yue Le almost didn't take the tea bowl and smashed Fan Chengmo, a dog minion, with a face.

At this moment, Li Zhifang, the chief minister of the Jiangnan camp, sighed: "Gong Zhen, now it is not only King An who wants to be Qin Zhongxian, but all of us!" ”

Okay, a room full of Qin Hui!

But who is Yue Fei?

There doesn't seem to be anyone in Nanjing City who is more like Yue Fei!

Wang Datou may be able to compare with Yue Fei in battle, but his loyalty is a little less!

No matter how much Qin Hui there is, without Yue Fei, isn't this also for nothing? This Qin Hui is going to encounter a "Pingzhang political affairs in Jiangnan and other places in the Great Song Dynasty", how many are not enough to chop!

"Qin Hui will probably be crushed when he meets Liu Yu, and Qin Hui will be stinking for 10,000 years when he meets Yue Fei. But what if Qin Hui meets Shi Jingjiao? ”

They are all people who are familiar with history and have studied all kinds of bad guys throughout the ages, so Fan Chengmo also thought of Shi Jingjiao at this time.

He smiled and said: "Geng Jingzhong can't be Zhao Gou, and the third prince Zhu doesn't disdain to be Zhao Gou, so we can't meet Zhao Gou and Yue Fei, and now there are only Liu Yu, Huan Wen, and Shi Jingjiao on the side of the puppet Ming." I am waiting to help the pseudo-Ming Shi Jingjiao to destroy the pseudo-Ming Liu Yu, usurp the pseudo-Ming country, and then turn Geng Jingzhong, who is equivalent to Shi Jingjiao, into the son of the Qing Emperor. ”

This is a bit difficult!

Shi Jingjiao can beat Liu Yu with the help of Khitan?

"It's not easy to succeed," Fan said, "but it's reasonable to write it in the book and the cantata." We and other loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty cannot go against the sky. If God favors Daqing, then this matter can be successful, otherwise I will do my best. ”

Ah, I see!

Prince An Yue Le finally understood that this Fan Chengmo was really a talent, and when he said that he surrendered and became a second minister, he actually became a loyal minister who endured humiliation.

Yue Le nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, why don't we jointly write a book and send it to the regent by sea?" ”

"Lord Wang, I won't participate in this enlightenment. I'll be in charge of delivering the letter to you! ”

Yue Le was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look, and found that the one who didn't want to be a living Qin Hui was actually Shi Lang!

This Shi Lang "Ming and Qing" are all four ministers, and now they will vote for Ming, and they will vote for Geng in the future, that is also the six ministers! You have all four ministers, and you still care about the six ministers?

"Lord Wang, the lowly Zheng Yanping has a deep hatred in the sea of blood!" Shi Lang said earnestly, "Now Zheng Yanping's son is the Wing King of the Puppet Ming, and Zheng Yanping's military advisor Chen Yonghua is one of the three major halls of the Puppet Ming, I want to throw myself over, the Puppet Wing King and Chen Yonghua will definitely not let me go, and when the time comes, it will make King Geng Dong and King An embarrassed."

In addition, the imperial court also has thousands of miles of coastal defense, and it needs a naval army! ”

I see!

Shi Lang can run, and he has a grudge against Zheng Jing, plus the Qing Dynasty also needs him, so he plans to run away.

Yue Le thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay. Who else wants to go to Beijing? ”

Hangzhou General Tur Boshen sighed: "Lord Wang, the old man is too old to be Qin Hui. I am satisfied to be able to go back to my hometown to bury my bones. ”

The old man now looked dejected, his face was sallow, and he was not very thin. However, he became like this not because of illness, but because his son and grandson died in battle one after another, and he was already dying, and he worked hard these days, but it was fruitless, and he was tired and thin, and his heart was discouraged.

Yue Le nodded: "Old man, when you arrive in Beijing and see the regent and the queen mother, you must tell them about our difficulties."

Speaking of this, Yue Le was so sad that tears dripped down, "We really have no way!" Woo."

It doesn't matter if he takes the lead, the entire Dutang immediately burst into tears!

Beijing, the Imperial City, outside the Donghua Gate, the Regent's Palace.

There are also people howling and crying here!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are not dead yet!"

"Your Majesty. The minions miss you so much! Your Majesty."

"Woo."

"Huang Amma"

The emperor who is "not dead yet" is not Kangxi, but Shunzhi!

And those who were lying in a monk's robe and dressed as the "Emperor" of Shunzhi were crying bitterly were Mingzhu, Mu Zhan, Bahai and Changning who had just arrived in Beijing!

Mingzhu was with Yang Qilong, Cao Xi and others, carrying a huge amount of goods and grain to Tianjin by water, and then came to Beijing alone to meet the regent, who knew that in the regent palace to see the "Qing Dynasty edict maker" Shunzhi.

Mu Zhan fled back to Beijing with the remnants of the defeated army after the defeat of the Suishui army. Immediately after I came back, I went to Shangfang Yuan (later the Shen Criminal Division) to go to prison, and today I was mentioned to the Regent's Palace, but I didn't expect to see Shunzhi, who I hadn't seen for many years!

And Bahai, whose name is Gualja. Ba Hai, now the official general Bai Ningguta, is an important minister guarding the customs outside the Qing Dynasty, and he came to Beijing with two thousand newly trained Sauron cavalry with Chang Ning, Prince Gong, on the orders of the regent Fuquan.

I didn't expect to see Shunzhi in the Regent's Palace!

And Prince Gong Changning didn't remember what Shunzhi looked like for a long time? Shunzhi was still a child when he became a monk, but Bahai, Mingzhu, and Mu Zhan all recognized Shunzhi at a glance, and he naturally didn't feel cheating, so he recognized each other together.

And the reason why Shunzhi wants to make such a show today, of course, is to stabilize people's hearts!

Now half of the Qing Dynasty is almost gone! Can people in Beijing not panic? So he can only let more people know about his existence to stabilize everyone's emotions.

The second is to pave the way for the transfer of power in the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty was defeated like this, there must be someone to carry the black pot!

Such a big pot, Kangxi as the emperor does not carry it, who else can carry it? Kangxi will naturally step down after taking the blame, but who will take over must be arranged, so that the Qing Dynasty can continue to survive, otherwise it will be completely over.
